Chapter 556 Who is the main force?
"Mr. Governor, we can't fight like this!"
The Rakshasaman's fifth attack obviously did not cause any damage to the Guiyi Brigade. Although there were signs of climbing up the city wall, they were never able to attack it.
Not only that, the serf soldiers also suffered heavy losses, which made other nobles somewhat dissatisfied.
After all, no matter how consumable the serf soldiers are, they are also the private property of nobles like them. They are worth some money anyway. It would be fine if they can be supplied. But now that they have attacked five times in a row, they are still only under the city wall. Obviously, problematic.
In this regard, other nobles also advised in this way:
"Yes, Lord Governor, this city is not big, and our army cannot deploy at all. Such a siege would be too much of a disadvantage for us. We have to find a way to lure them out to fight."
If it is said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it can be said that it is for the Guiyi Brigade. After all, this city was originally built for defense.
But now it seems that the construction was not good enough, and it was too hasty, and even building an extra one was a waste of manpower and material resources.
You must know that after the implementation of the evacuation plan, one of the two cities was directly abandoned by them, and then all the troops and materials were concentrated in one city.
In this way, you can rely on the city to fight a war of attrition with the enemy.
Not to mention far away, at least it can delay the arrival of heavy snow, forcing the enemy to withdraw or become unable to retreat, leaving an opportunity for the troops to move.
Therefore, at this time, both sides were fighting tentatively and did not show their true strength.
But even so, both sides felt a certain amount of pressure.
Regarding the complaints of many nobles, Viscount Henrietta only asked softly.
"Since you say that, do you have any good strategies?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone who spoke was immediately speechless, not knowing what to say.
After all, they were asked to lead soldiers to charge into the battle. As nobles of the empire, they still had the courage, but if they were asked to think of a plan to attack a castle, or a castle that lacked everything, they were really powerless.
Seeing that everyone was speechless, Viscount Henrietta just shook his head and waved.
"Remove the ones in front and order the sixth group to start attacking!"
At the same time, the messenger hurriedly came to report.
"Your Majesty the Governor, Baron Wesley and a group of cavalry soldiers returned from defeat with heavy losses and are resting in the city!"
Baron Wesley was the baron sent by Viscount Henrietta to blockade the seaside.
The baron led his knights, private soldiers, and serfs to search the seaside, and was then beaten up by the retreating Guiyi Brigade militiamen. He had to run fast, otherwise he would have died at the port.
So after hearing what the messenger said, Viscount Henrietta's face darkened, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't leave at this time, so he could only explain.
"Quickly, let Baron Wesley and the knights come to see me!"
Soon, Baron Wesley and a group of knights hurried to the front line.
"Lord Governor!"
Viscount Henrietta looked at everyone's embarrassment and was not polite, so he asked quickly.
"Baron Wesley, what happened to you? How did it become like this?"
Baron Wesley didn't waste any words and immediately told what happened to him. Viscount Henrietta frowned even more when he heard that they were attacked by a team of more than tens of thousands of people.
"Baron Wesley, are you sure you are besieged by tens of thousands of people?"
After hearing this, Baron Wesley immediately blushed. This was questioning him, and then swore.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I, Wesley, swear in the name of the nobility and family that if I tell a lie, I will go to hell and be burned in fire after death."
Seeing that Baron Wesley had sworn in the name of his family, Viscount Henrietta couldn't help but become solemn.
You must know that nobles always value the honor of their family the most, followed by the honor of the nobles, then God, and finally the country.
Therefore, if a noble swears in the name of a so-called noble, you can believe it, but you must be wary, because you don't know where the noble's moral integrity and lower limit are.
If the nobles swear in the name of God, then just listen, because these people often use this to deceive priests. Of course, if this oath is likely to bring benefits to the Holy See, the Holy See will still recognize it.
But if a noble swears an oath in the name of the country, then just listen and be happy.
But if a noble swears an oath in the name of the family, then you have to be solemn, because this kind of oath basically means the same thing.
Therefore, after Baron Wesley's defeat, he could deceive God, the country, and even other nobles, but he would never deceive the family.
And this was exactly the reason why Viscount Henrietta frowned.
"If there are tens of thousands of enemies on the beach, how many enemies are there in this city?"
"In this case, who is the main force?"
Viscount Henrietta analyzed carefully. Anyway, at this time, he vaguely felt something was wrong, as if he had overlooked something.
In this regard, the nobles around him reminded him.
"Mr. Governor, do you think those on the beach are the main force of the Dagan people who want to escape from the sea?"
However, some people retorted: "But this is wrong. If it is the main force there, then what is it here? What qualifications and courage do they have to face our army?"
For a while, everyone was arguing, and suddenly someone said:
"But if the people in this city are not from the rear, then why would they give up a city? After all, they can fight us better with tens of thousands of people and two cities, right?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present suddenly realized it, and then they all praised it.
"Yes, this can only mean that they do not have enough troops. If their main force is here, they will not give up the city easily."
"In that case, wouldn't it be the main force of the Dagan people who are preparing to flee by the seaside?"
"It must be true. Our Great American Empire is so powerful, and the Dagan people are so cowardly. It is normal to do this!"
For a moment, everyone was filled with joy, and it seemed that they had determined that those on the beach were the main force of the Guiyi Brigade.
"Father......"
In this regard, the young Baron Henrietta looked a little unhappy and reminded his father in a low voice, but Viscount Henrietta stopped him directly and ordered everyone to be silent.
"That's enough. Where is the main force? Just test it and you will know!"
Then he gave the order: "Withdraw those in front, and the seventh batch will attack together with the two thousand standing troops. If there are any deserters, kill them!"
Soon, the sixth batch of attacking serf soldiers retreated, and then the seventh batch of serf soldiers who were ready, together with the emergency deployment of two thousand standing troops, began to attack the city.
"Kill!"
At this time, seeing that there were more people attacking this time, and even half of the previous attacks combined, Ding Jie's expression changed instantly.
"Attention, everyone, the enemy has officially attacked, so be prepared to defend."
