Chapter 397

The second day after the war was calm, and now Nord had no plan to attack Jiman city immediately, because after yesterday's battle, the soldiers in the camp became very tired. Nord didn't have any spirit when he saw each soldier in the morning.

Yesterday's war consumed them a lot of energy, not only physically, but also mentally. Another more important reason is that the soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom secretly left the city last night and burned all the nest cars that Nord had moved under the city wall with a fire.

Although Nord can continue to build, it still needs time, manpower and material resources. Therefore, during this period, Nord will let the soldiers have a good rest. Therefore, after a terrible battle, Jiman city has recovered its long lost peace.

Nord didn't choose to provoke the soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom on the city wall this time, but sent people to clean up and bury all the bodies under the city wall, whether from his own side or the enemy. Although the Ximan Kingdom put a fire in this place, many bodies were not cleaned up.

Now it's summer. If you delay for a few more days, these bodies will be corrupt, and that location will also affect Nord's siege. More importantly, once there is a plague, the consequences will be unimaginable. The soldiers on the city wall watched Nord's troops clean up the bodies without disturbing them at all.

Even Nord's soldiers approached the archers of the Ximan kingdom to collect the body within the range, and these archers of the Ximan Kingdom did not attack, because everyone had only a little conscience in mind, so they would not disturb the soldiers of the city wall to collect the body for the dead.

The two sides maintained a tacit truce like this. It was calm for half a month. Nord only endured it because he wanted to accumulate more storms. Nord didn't know why the Ximan Kingdom forbeared. Moreover, Nord has been looking for the position of the light cavalry of the Ximan Kingdom these days.

Nord did find their direction, but before Nord solved them, these light cavalry had already fled like a frightened bird. The mobility of Nord's troops could not catch up with these escaped soldiers, and there was no way to separate troops to catch up.

Because after the last battle, Nord's troops only had 15000 people left, but Nord estimated that at least 10000 people had been killed in the battle in the Ximan Kingdom, and more than 5000 people had been killed in the battle only by the light cavalry. Together, more than 15000 people had been killed on both sides, that is, the tombs of 10000 people buried outside the city were soon piled up into a hill, which looked very spectacular.

However, in order to prevent these light cavalry from harassing again in the next battle, Nord drove them far away. Moreover, Nord also asked his knights to patrol in that area, that is, not to let those light cavalry know the trend of Jiman City, because they listened to the soldiers' report before attacking the city, and someone rode out of the city from the back door of Jiman city.

But at that time, Nord didn't mind too much, because Nord thought he had a great advantage. With the strength of the nest car, he would be able to inflict heavy damage on the soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom on the wall, and Nord didn't believe that the Ximan kingdom could play any tricks.

The troops that can support Jiman city are estimated to have arrived long ago. It's no use going out of the city to ask for help now. But in other words, even Nord knows the light cavalry troops of Ximan Kingdom, Nord can't do anything about them, because the mobility of these light cavalry troops is too strong.

Half a month later, Nord led the troops to make a comeback. During this time, ten nest cars were also pushed out of the camp, and two ladder ladders were also ready. As long as the remote troops could suppress the enemy on the city wall, Nord would immediately let the melee soldiers attack the city, and strive to let the light cavalry in the distance take the city of Jiman in one fell swoop with support, Nord has only half a day left.

As soon as the time comes, the five thousand light cavalry will come to support. At that time, Nord will become very difficult to attack Jiman city. The nest car is delivered to the designated position by the soldiers. Under Nord's wall, there are ten thousand soldiers preparing to attack the city. In fact, there are five thousand long-range troops and five thousand melee troops. There are five thousand soldiers left in the territory by Nord.

The archers and crossbow soldiers in the nest car took the lead, shooting the enemies on the wall one after another. The archers of the Ximan kingdom were still suppressed by Nord's long-range forces. Then Nord took advantage of the unintentional defense of the soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom and put two cloud ladders on the wall.

Then Nord asked the melee soldiers to climb the wall through the ladder. Due to the characteristics of the ladder, Nord's melee soldiers also climbed the wall smoothly, and Nord also ordered the nearby archers to fire sentries at the camp.

Just when the battle on the city wall became in full swing, the 5000 troops left by Nord in the camp appeared in the city of GIMAN, and then the soldiers of the Ximan Kingdom on the city wall soon lost the city wall after the attack.

When the soldiers on the city wall and the nobles of the Ximan Kingdom failed, they didn't know where the five thousand enemies in the city came from. In fact, the answer came from the ground. Nord made another preparation as early as the first battle to make siege equipment.

That is to dig a tunnel from the camp directly into Jiman city. It took Nord nearly a month to dig the tunnel near the gate of Jiman city. In order to dig the tunnel, Nord also spent a long time calculating the distance. Nord did not make a mistake to go under the city wall to provoke, but also to measure some data and make the tunnel dig into Jiman city smoothly, Nord tried his best, too.

Fortunately, in the end, the plan was successful. In fact, Nord used some very common siege moves in ancient times. The Chinese nation can be said to have developed the tactics of siege and guarding the city to the extreme. Both sides can be said to be unremitting, especially in the aspect of guarding the city.

If a general who was good at guarding the city came out from ancient times to guard the city gate, even if Nord tried his best, he could not successfully attack the strong city wall with 20000 troops. Their city guarding skills are like an art, and there are many doorways to pay attention to.

Just like Nord only learned a few superficial things, it is enough to run rampant in this era. Compared with the ancient nation in the previous generation, the Ximan Kingdom, which is good at brushing means, is still too young. The Chinese nation has basically reached the pinnacle of tactical research, and has advanced tactical and strategic ideas in a very early period, It's like there are countless kinds of art of war.

Nord felt that he had benefited a lot from just knowing some superficial things. Only in the war, when he encountered some difficulties, Nord could always find a way. Even such a strong city wall was broken by Nord. Although some twists and turns occurred and the soldiers were seriously injured and killed, Nord was very satisfied with the final result, Because Nord finally took down the wall of the capital of the kingdom of seaman.
