Lord of the Oasis

Just as Viscount Kevin was nervous, the reinforcements from the Nanjun Territory did not arrive.

On the contrary, in the early morning of the second day, in the common wilderness in the north, a gray fog rose up, and at the same time, under this gray fog that was almost flamboyant and claws, many people could still be vaguely seen.

Just like an arrogant long dragon, slowly approaching Marsburg.

"coming!"

Viscount Kevin's voice was trembling.

He swallowed and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, waving his hands and shouting: "Everyone pay attention, pull up the drawbridge and the city gate, all the soldiers walk up to the city wall, the archers up the tower, speed!"

"Yes!" A neat voice sounded in Marsburg.

A large number of figures are shaking.

Soldiers armed with crossbows and bows soon appeared on the towers and walls.

These are soldiers that the Kevin family has cultivated since childhood. They are loyal and trustworthy. After a long period of military training, they are also good at shooting and close combat. They are a group of elites.

And in terms of combat ability, it is slightly stronger than the regular infantry of Beijun!

This is the confidence of Viscount Kevin.

Unfortunately.

There are really too few people.

There are only 500 elites stationed in Marsburg now.

The rest are just a group of conscripted militias gathered in advance in the surrounding villages.

Even the people doing the chores below are still a group of armed peasants. They came to the castle wearing slightly thicker clothes, with a pitchfork on their back or a sickle on their waist. It is a question of whether they are strong or not, but they want to kill people now. That is impossible.

Even without a decent leather armor, it is estimated that he was killed on the battlefield as cannon fodder!

This is indeed the case.

Don't look at these armed peasants who number more than 3,000.

They are still young adults, but they have not received orthodox military training, and they can't do anything except fight.

The most suitable for them is the field. It is much easier to serve those crops than to go to the battlefield, especially on the battlefield where the death is harvested. road.

In comparison, the 1,000-odd conscripted militiamen are not bad, at least they have received military education.

It was trained by the castle infantry during the slack season.

But only the most basic spear jabs.

That's enough.

Formed on the city wall, it can completely protect the safety of a section of the city wall.

Moreover, they all wore leather armor made of cowhide. Although it was inferior to chain armor in terms of defense, it was still able to withstand ordinary slashing. Be stronger!

At least the chainmail is facing the arrow, because of the iron ring, it is vulnerable to more serious secondary damage.

"enough!"

Viscount Kevin beat his head.

He didn't understand what he was thinking, but looking at the formation that had been formed in the distance below, his heart trembled even more, and his breathing became extremely heavy: "What are these people doing!"

In the distance, the noble coalition army began to camp, and a large number of tents rose against the sun.

In principle, an attack should be launched.

Even if you don't attack, it's better to be prepared.

But those noble coalition forces actually made it look like they were preparing for a long-term confrontation.

It really made Viscount Kevin puzzled, which made the plan to take advantage of the castle to take advantage of the castle to severely damage the coalition forces on Kant's side lost its due effect.

The opposite itself is a trek.

Now that you are ready to rest, you will definitely have enough morale to come back.

If that time comes, it is estimated that it will be an extremely difficult battle, which is not good for him.

Although defending the city has a natural advantage, Viscount Kevin actually does not have much confidence in his weaker troops, and can resist the troops that have already accommodated the elite of the North County.

Although his Marsburg has the mission of monitoring the North County Leader to control the checkpoint here.

But it is definitely not a fortress against the North County Leader's army.

6 meters high and 2 meters wide city wall

And the main body of the 13-meter-high castle.

With such a medium-sized castle alone, the elite defenders would be seriously insufficient.

In addition, the material reserve is low, and it cannot be held for a long time, and it is not even known when the reinforcements will arrive.

Thinking of this, Viscount Kevin felt that his head was about to explode. After all, the current situation was completely an unsolvable situation for him, especially the most important thing, the great knight under his hands, only 2 people.

And he swears that there are definitely more than 5 great knights in the noble coalition under him!

They are all nobles who understand that.

Who doesn't know that there will be a few big knights under his hands who haven't reported it?

It's called heritage!

That's when it comes into play.

But it is embarrassing. In this situation, his background seems to be useless.

Because even the two subordinates who are the great knights, seeing the more than 10,000 infantry and 3,000+ light and heavy cavalry outside, have already sent a message from their subordinates, and they must not go out of the city to fight!

Just looking at it, the mind of the field was destroyed.

Confidence collapsed.

No way, the gap between the two forces is too great.

Viscount Kevin never imagined that the coalition of nobles from the North County, which had originally attacked the Stone Pass, would be dealt with in three or two blows, and instead became the backbone of the attack on the South County. This seemed like a joke.

It's no wonder, even those nobles from Nanjun County are still confused.

They really don't know what's going on.

The shortcomings of the nobility appeared.

Without knowing what happened, they knew that Marsburg was facing absolute military pressure, but they were still arguing with each other, and let the other side handle this matter.

After all, as long as the South County Leaders are not hit hard, their interests will not be damaged.

And in this bullshit.

The pressure on Marsburg is mounting.

Because at noon, the allied nobles who had finished resting began to act while shouting.

Even the siege equipment provided by the Wayne family began to be assembled. Trebuchets with long arms, as well as various ballistas, were placed in a pile outside the city wall.

It looked like he was going to forcibly attack the city.

This is indeed the case.

At 1pm, trebuchets and ballistas creaked.

With a command, the heavy round stone bullets swept across a graceful arc and smashed heavily on the city walls built of stones. With the clanging sound, the cracked stones scattered, and the siege battle was announced. start.

The coalition of more than 10,000 nobles also planned to forcibly attack the northern gate.

Those trebuchets were also smashing stone bullets roaring towards the city gate.

The situation is extremely critical.

Even Viscount Kevin didn't expect that the opponent didn't even have a feint attack, and immediately started the general attack!

For this reason, he laughed like a madman: "What the hell is that Baron Kant thinking, he just attacked directly. Do these guys know what siege is? And play like this?" But his mental pressure, But with the beginning of the general attack, it gradually increased to the point where it could not be supported.

The situation is too dangerous!
