Pendor Empire In Other Worlds

Lothar himself didn't have much psychological burden on the territory of Viscount Tiste, who had a good personal relationship with Lothar in the attack on Nuremberg.

It's not that he can make actions that hurt friends with peace of mind. It's just that now that the goal and the route have been determined, when the two sides finally stand on a hostile position, Lothar is unwilling to think about it hypocritically, and then becomes indecisive and indecisive.

And from the time the invitation letter was issued to the division of troops to sweep the surrounding villages and towns, to the time when the troops were dispatched to Nuremberg, Lothar also spent a lot of energy trying to win Viscount Tiste to join.

A sincerely written letter every day is just the basis. I talked about it from friendship to profit to morality, and repeatedly guaranteed the security of Nuremberg, and even willing to make an exception to retain the right to lead the troops, and finally borrowed the identity of Monroe.

Unfortunately, probably because of a series of factors such as status, face, distrust of Lothar and confidence in his own territory, Viscount Tiste only replied a perfunctory letter in the end, wishing him "good luck." , And then nothing more.

The possibility of alliance between the two parties is thus extinguished.

Viscount Tiste may never have thought that Lothar would really dare to attack his castle. After all, there were more than 40,000 barbarians besieging the city, but there was no way to use this castle. Finally, it was scattered under the influence of heavy rain, giving Lothar the opportunity to behead and destroy one by one.

However, on Lothar's side, the war room had already prepared a plan for the hostility to Nuremberg. There were more than one plan for field battles, defense, and siege.

Although the force of the siege is far less powerful than the barbarians, Lothar is also a human army, but he is very confident in breaking through Nuremberg. Those siege equipment that is difficult to transport but easy to assemble are mainly prepared for this siege.

Yes, it is to assemble siege equipment, not to build siege equipment.

All kinds of parts are first produced according to uniform specifications, and then transported to the battle site, and assembled according to fixed drawings.

Like the war room, this is another whimsical idea put forward by Lothar's little historical knowledge. It is considered effective after being combined with the current era. It is a kind of war thinking that transcends the era.

Of course, up to now, this effect has only been limited to the rapid manufacturing of light siege equipment. The main types are equipment with smaller parts such as ladders, light catapults, ballistas, and simple rush vehicles.

If it is equipped with large equipment such as a heavy-duty stone dumper or a heavy-duty car, there is no way to assemble it quickly. Those heavy and heavy main components have very demanding requirements for transportation conditions. A counterweight stone dumper requires at least five or six carriages to carry it, and the movement speed is also very slow. We still have to rely on craftsmen to collect materials on site and make them temporarily.

However, even with such restrictions, being able to quickly produce light siege equipment greatly improves the efficiency of the siege. At least when attacking small cities like Nuremberg, these light weapons are more than enough, and there is no need to spend time on them.

In fact, when the simple ladder was assembled, Lothar had already begun to command the troops into an attack formation without waiting for other complicated equipment to be ready.

At around 5 pm on the 7th, ten infantry squadrons (one Fieldsway guard squadron leader, three heavy archers as squad captains, with a dozen Fieldsway warriors or light infantry, plus nearly twice The private soldiers of the nobility formed an infantry squadron with a total strength of about fifty to sixty.) Under Lothar’s order, the ladder with grappling hooks carried the suggestion ladder to attack the northeastern walls of Nuremberg.

Relying on the strong individual combat capability of the Fieldsway guards who led the charge, as well as the close-range and long-range strikes provided by heavy archers and archers that were better than nothing, the first batch of siege troops was less than half a hundred in less than an hour. Casualties, take down the entire...outer wall of Nuremberg.

Yes, the only thing that was so easily broken was that Nuremberg was only about five meters high, and the number of defenders was less than three hundred, and most of them were the outer walls of the militia.

Since it is a siege, then I have to explain the state of the city.

Nuremberg was originally built for more than 150 years, which is longer than the founding history of the Duchy of Perth.

When it was first built, this castle was just a solitary fortress, just like the previously breached Thornburg, it was a pure war fortress.

At that time, the main function of this castle was not the center of this area, but a base on the barren Perth plain that could provide a support point for the development of the surrounding area ~www.wuxiaspot.com~the entire Perth Most of the castles in the Principality were strategically positioned like this at the beginning, providing reliable support for the older generation of pioneers to deal with the various dangers of this barren land. Only then did the surrounding villages and small towns rise from the ground.

However, with the changes in history, although the castle began to develop from a small village with wood to a military fortress with larger areas, thicker walls, and more complete defense facilities, the initial strategic role in responding to external threats was lower and lower.

After all, the Rainbow Pass is such a card, the Principality of Perth has never been invaded by foreign enemies on land since its founding. And the powerful maritime power has also firmly blocked the coveted gaze of other countries.

After the barbarians on this coastal plain are cleared, only the other nobles in the country can pose a threat to these castles.

But in the past, the nobles of the Principality of Perth were all very bitter, coupled with the continuous growth of maritime power, with the idle time and strength to deal with the poverty of their own country, it is better to go out to sea to grab a wave of territories from other countries.

Don’t talk about it, it’s true that the Principality of Perth really made its fortune by pirates at the beginning, but later discovered that the cost of bringing things back after looting is high, and the risks inherent in those countries with a long heritage are also high, and this has been vigorously developed. Maritime trade.

The reason why Viscount Tiste also arranged a part of the defenders on this section of the city wall is not because he has much confidence in the defensive ability of this section of the city wall, but he is reluctant to bear the more than 30,000 citizens in the city, and wants to bet that Lothar will not attack. That's it for the city.

There is really nothing commendable for taking down such a defensive facility in one go.

The really difficult bone to gnaw is the military fortress "Nuremberg" that shrinks its defenses.
