Chapter 448: The Siege of the City

The Ans people were very fierce. They were fearless and could climb from the ladder to the top with the strongest flames.

The Carlos' trenchers were also very powerful, making Mondra feel like it was raining. All kinds of huge stones were smashed into the imperial capital, and roars sounded.

However, compared with the attacks of Ains and the Carlos, the Mondras were not inferior at all. They were tenacious and tireless, resisting attacks again and again.

All the people of the Mondra Imperial Capital joined this offensive and defensive battle.

With the help of these people, the Mondra army, which was originally not considered to be possessed at all, actually resisted the attack of the Ans people like a tide.

This offensive lasted for three hours before it gradually stopped.

With the retreat of Ans and the Carlos, more than 10,000 bodies of Ans and the Carlos had been left under the city wall. The defenders of Mondra also suffered heavy losses.

In just three hours, Mondra's soldiers were seriously injured, more than 8,000 died, and many houses were smashed by Carlo's trench.

On the city walls, there were corpses and blood everywhere.

However, the tired Mondra soldiers could no longer care about so much, and they lay one by one on the wall, gasping for breath.

This battle has exhausted their physical strength to the limit.

Such a large-scale offensive and defensive battle made Zhao Feng and Elaine Hezel feel deeply moved, and for the first time he felt the cruelty of the war.

But this was just the beginning. In the next three days, Ains and Carlo's army would siege once a day, which almost became a habitual action.

"Come on, eat."

At this time, the women and children organized by Zhao Feng brought delicious food and soup to these exhausted soldiers.

These people, some of them were old and young, and some of them had just died of relatives, but they still came to the city wall and brought food to the soldiers.

In the words of Zhao Feng's education, these soldiers are their relatives, their children, and heroes who resist the enemies coming from outside.

If it weren't for them, the abominable Ans and the Carlos would have long attacked the capital of Mondra and began to burn, kill and loot, and do all kinds of evil.

At that time, each of them was in trouble.

Under Zhao Feng's education, these people's sense of resistance awakened for the first time. Therefore, in terms of logistics supply, they also showed special care and enthusiasm.

In previous battles, these soldiers did not enjoy such good treatment at all. At that time, at most they just took dry food and hid behind the city wall and chewed it.

Unexpectedly, they now have soup and water to drink, which made them extremely energetic and a glorious and sacred expression surged on their faces.

In addition, Zhao Feng also organized a lot of civilians to record all the names and corpses of all the soldiers who died in battle in Mondra.

In Zhao Feng's words, these people are all martyrs, people who died for the empire. After their death, they will be immortal and remembered.

To this end, Zhao Feng said that all the bodies of these dead soldiers would be burned, and a monument would be built in the center of the imperial capital to commemorate these people.

This incentive measure also touched the soldiers.

They did not expect that those who were in the army and fought could still enjoy such a high attitude. They were famous in history, and this was the treatment of a big shot.

"Even if I die like this, I'm worth it!" Thinking of this, many soldiers' attitude of fearing death changed. They all seemed to be out of sight and no longer regard life and death seriously.

Of course, these are just some spiritual rewards. In addition to this, Zhao Feng also stipulated casualty subsidies and death pensions. He told the soldiers that if they died in battle, the empire would give them a pension of fifty gold coins and hand them over to their families.

If no one supports the elderly in the family, the empire will be responsible for raising them until the day of death.

The implementation of these policies has also made some soldiers who are worried that their parents are helpless after their death have let go of a lot of burdens and burdens in the hearts of some soldiers.

Originally, they did not dare to fight like this, fearing that their families would scatter after death. After all, many soldiers are the pillars of their families' economic income.

In addition to this, Zhao Feng also strictly punished the deserters. Once all deserters are discovered, they will be executed directly. Not only does he not have a death pension, he will also implicate his family.

All deserters' families will be charged double taxes as punishment.

Of course, these are not the main things, the most important thing is the mental pressure. If someone finds out that they are family members of deserters, they will attract countless despised eyes.

In the imperial capital, several households were so ashamed that they could not raise their heads because of this regulation.

Until Zhao Feng said, "If you have any mistakes, correct them. As long as you fight hard, you can wash away those shames. Using blood to prove that you are brave, you will not be considered a deserter."

To this end, Zhao Feng also invented medals and other things to commend those brave in combat. These rewards have greatly improved the honor of many soldiers.

Everyone hopes to receive medals and win those respectful gazes.

"There are so many ideas in your head. Each of these ideas is so strange, but the effect is very good."

Elaine Hazel was extremely impressed by Zhao Feng's actions.

Originally, Elaine Hazel thought that the momentum of the residents in the imperial capital would soon collapse. However, under Zhao Feng's actions, the subjects not only did not collapse, but were more energetic.

Looking at the current bustling imperial capital, Elaine Hazel finds it difficult to put it with the imperial capital that was originally called the Indifference City.

As Queen Mondra, Elaine Hazel, Elaine I, has a very simple job. Every day, she just needs to visit the wounded and sick and inspect the territory.

Zhao Feng told her that there is no need to put on the queen's airs and just learn to treat those people approachable.

After a few days, Elaine Hazel discovered that her status in the hearts of these subjects had risen a lot and became the second most respected person in the Mondra Capital.

Of course, the most respected person in this city is naturally Zhao Feng.

However, he is respected not because of his identity, his intelligence, or his combat power. The most important reason why he is respected is his light healing technique.

In these days, Zhao Feng used the Light Treatment Technique to cure countless seriously injured patients. At this time, he was the life-saving benefactor of countless people.

Therefore, he is naturally the most respected person in the city.

Originally, the Ans thought that it would not take much time to attack the Mondra imperial capital. But then they realized that this was a difficult bone.

Although the Mondra people's combat effectiveness is not strong, their tenacity and ability to resist strikes are far beyond their imagination. Those soldiers can even withstand their attack twenty-four hours a day.

In order to occupy the Mondra imperial capital, 30,000 people had died. Each attack would cause huge losses and morale was constantly depressed.

At this time, the Red Stone Emperor, who had always been very calm, was getting worse and worse, and his son Menghan and others were even scolded to death by him.

They didn't expect that it would take so much effort to attack this place.

"Damn it, it's been three days, and we have already died 50,000 people. Next, tell me, what should we do to attack the city, you guys?"

In the big tent, the Red Stone Emperor was furious and furious.

"The attack is definitely not possible. We have already lost too much. If this continues, the soldiers are unwilling to attack the city. Although those brave soldiers are not afraid of death, they know that the siege is about going but not returning, and there is no meaning to die. Therefore, I suggest suspending the siege."

At this time, Roger Melada said: "Your Majesty, with my opinion, we will continue to surround the capital of Mondra. I think if we surround this for ten days, the city will collapse. The capital of Mondra has too many people, and the amount of food and water we need to eat every day is hard to imagine. If it continues to consume like this, they will definitely not be able to support it."

Roger Melada knew that the annual grain reserves of the Mondra Capital were roughly annual, so when talking about this proposal, I was very sure.

"What's this idea?" Hearing his words, the Red Stone Emperor turned around and asked the others.

Hearing Roger Melada's words, Meng Khan immediately said, "Father, he is right. Anyway, we don't have to worry about anything. This place is much richer than the grassland. Our cavalry plundered everywhere and harvested a lot of food every time, so we don't have to be afraid at all."

Roger Melada continued to suggest: "Not only that, we can also dig an authentic tunnel and secretly conduct siege underground. At that time, we can enter the imperial capital through the authentic tunnel and break through the city. Moreover, we can wait for Dark Evans's army to rescue him. At that time, we can use our cavalry to capture them all in one place."

"Very good, let's go to siege next!"

After hearing Roger Melada's words, the Redstone Emperor decided not to continue attacking the capital of Mondra, but to siege him, trying to use his time to kill Zhao Feng and others.

Next, at the suggestion of Roger Melada, the entire Ace and Carlo's army surrounded the Mondra Imperial Capital.

They believed that under such a siege, Zhao Feng, Elaine Hazel and others would never last long and would collapse on their own.

Even if they do not collapse, once this tunnel is dug through, the Ans can easily break through the imperial capital of Mondra.
