Pendor Empire In Other Worlds - v3 Chapter 69

As Little Hepburn said, the contact between the two sides ended with a result that both sides got, which was temporarily acceptable.

　　 On September 5th, Willier and his party with a lot of verbal agreements were sent out by Lothar personally from Suflenborg and embarked on their way home to Newport.

　　 Even if it only brought back a way of cooperation that was close to the bottom line, having such a performance with a sharp contrast with the time when he came, will be a lot of help for Willier to stabilize his position.

　　 At least for now, Lothar still hopes that the Perth family can maintain a stable situation and contain the Marquis of Karl Karst for him.

　　 After bidding farewell to the group of condolences, Lothar had not stopped the preparations for war, and the pace of movement was accelerated again.

　　 On September 11, the day after receiving the first batch of craftsmen sent by Viscount Hollum, Lothar officially set off camp and marched towards Qatar City.

　　 With the help of the water transportation of the Norris River, two thousand forwards arrived outside Qatar City in the afternoon and set up camp ten miles away from the city wall.

　　 Actually, this was just a unit that arrived on the surface to lure the defenders out of the city.

　　 In the woods not far from the striker’s camp, another elite field force, including all the cavalry in Lothar’s hand, had set off one night in advance, already hiding there.

　　 In order to strengthen the attacking consciousness of the defenders as much as possible, under Patrick’s arrangement, the forward troops deliberately created the illusion of insufficient capacity.

　　 More than 20 river boats arrived in Qatar one after another, most of which were loaded with wood, grain, straw, tents and other heavyweights.

　　 Soldiers generally only have simple weapons, and there are even scenes of two to three hundred people crowded on the same boat.

　　 After the two failures of Nurem and Sufran to lure the enemy out of the city.

　　 This time the enemy finally bit the bait hanging on the barb.

　　 In the evening of the same day, the soldiers were busy preparing for dinner, taking advantage of the construction of the prototype of the Allied camp.

　　 Under the leadership of the only remaining 200 cavalrymen in the city, more than 4,000 defenders launched a surprise attack on the enemy outside the city.

　　 It’s a pity, because Patrick had arranged it.

　　 This troop that quietly exited the city from the north gate had exposed its whereabouts early, and was prepared to lure the enemy troops to rely on simple fortifications to block outside the camp wall.

　　The defending troops who failed the raid failed to make more waves afterwards.

　　 An hour later, he was quickly defeated in front of a counter-raid attack by the Allied ambush.

　　 Although the gains of the last two Allied troops were not very high, the disintegrated Qatar Army finally failed to escape back to the city not far away.

　　 After realizing that he had been in the game, Zaimeng, who couldn’t see the collective battle as the sky was getting dark, finally gave up the idea of ​​opening the city gate to respond.

　　 cut off the idea of ​​the Allied forces attacking the city at the same time.

　　 also lost his last field force.

　　……

　　 “It looks like a very difficult opponent.”

　　 Next to the attacking position less than a kilometer away from the city wall, Patrick, who had observed the enemy’s defense, said consciously.

　　 At noon on September 12th, Lothar led a following army of 16,000 and joined the forward troops who arrived yesterday by land.

　　 Of course, this “army” of 16,000 people still has a lot of water. There are only more than 2,000 soldiers with ‘normal’ combat literacy. The others are militiamen who have just put down their agricultural tools and trained for less than a week.

　　 Those who can really take on the next combat mission depends on the troops that arrived here yesterday.

　　 As for water transportation, it was completely handed over to the heavy transshipment work.

　　 In order to achieve the purpose of this battle, Lothar had prepared a lot of siege equipment. Among them, there are heavy and clumsy “big guys”, and it takes too much time to transport them by road alone.

　　 “Yes, this is indeed an opponent that cannot be underestimated.”

　　 Beside Patrick, Lothar, who was observing the enemy’s defense with him, also put down the scopes and sighed.

　　 This ‘an opponent not to be underestimated’ refers to the ‘new earl’ who ignited the situation in the Principality with one hand.

　　 also refers to the city in front of me as the target of this battle.

　　 “Hey, I thought it before. The gathering of so many troops was a big deal.

　　 But now it seems that the number of troops displayed on the northern wall is no more than two thousand people.

　　 Counting the southern part of the city wall, there are nearly five thousand people on the city wall alone.

　　The total number of defenders, uh…”

　　 “I guess it should be between 20,000 and 30,000.” Seeing Lothar groaning silently, Patrick added with a smile.

　　 “Yes, yeah, I have read the forecast report of the war room, so I don’t need to remind you again.”

　　 glanced at his general without angrily, Lothar then rubbed his eyebrows.

　　 “Even if I know that there are many people here like ours, they are all militiamen who have just picked up their weapons…maybe they may not even be able to get good weapons.

　　 But this amount is really stressful. “

　　 “Especially, in such a siege.”

　　 As if awakening some evil taste, Patrick became more interested when he watched Lothar’s headache.

　　”For comparison with data, assuming that the combat effectiveness of a militia is 1, then the combat effectiveness of an ordinary soldier is between 2 and 2.5.

　　 If it is a field battle, ordinary soldiers in an army can exert more than 3 combat effectiveness. On the other hand, the militia, no matter how good a commander is, they can only give them a combat effectiveness of 0.5 or 0.6.

　　 Come and go, in a field battle, it is not unbelievable that a regular army directly defeated a peasant rebel army ten times its own. “

　　”But siege warfare is different. With perfect fortifications as support, militiamen can also stably display their 1 point of combat effectiveness when facing the siege.

　　 The soldiers who attacked the city, because there are no comrades beside them to share the pressure, they have to face the threats above their heads. In the best case, it is a 2 point combat effectiveness.

　　 If you change to a militia, it will be even lower. “

　　 “What’s more, among the defenders on the wall, I saw a lot of ‘familiar’ faces.

　　 is probably the mercenary or gangster you mentioned.

　　 Although these guys have not undergone formal military training, their combat effectiveness will not be lost to ordinary soldiers in the conflict of small units.

　　According to this calculation, relying on the strength of our current hand, it is far from enough to break this city. “

Even though he said such frustrating words, Patrick’s expression didn’t mean anything embarrassing at all, only unabashed confidence and ease~www.mtlnovel.com~ It was as if he was not the commander of the siege, but rather The same as the defensive coach.

　　If war is a number game, then the chances of Lothar successfully taking down the city in front of him are indeed not high.

　　 But in fact, this is obviously not the case.

　　Compared with the calmness on the faces of soldiers who are preparing for the war in an orderly manner.

　　 The nervous expression of the defenders on the city and the sweat falling on their cheeks are the most direct evidence.

　　 “But”, when the joke was over, Lothar also changed to a solemn tone.

　　 “Zai Meng is indeed not an easy man. In this country, he does have the ability to support his ambitions.

　　 Since being a fuse, he has been hibernating in this city all the time. Apart from promoting the formation of the aristocratic coalition, he has no other actions.

　　 For such a long time, I don’t believe that he was really just locked here by the Principality Navy.

　　 The preparations he has made will never be just what he sees in front of him.

　　 If you have confidence, you have confidence. I still hope that you can be prepared for the challenge. “

　　 “Yes”, Patrick also put away his joking expression when talking about business.

　　 “I have dispatched scouts to closely observe the movement of the coastline, and any abnormalities issued can be received in time.

　　 Other places have also made corresponding preparations.

　　 Don’t worry. “
