Chapter 198 Siege

After taking a shower, he put on a loose bathrobe and asked two maids to massage his shoulders and arms behind him to relieve fatigue and tense muscles. Ronan narrowed his eyes and thought happily.

A few days later, after several fruitless collisions, the Hebrew troops withdrew. Although Tana desperately tried to persuade him to stay, and even though he promised countless benefits, he could not prevent the Hebrew troops from returning reinforcements.

Because the eldest prince's army has left the east and officially entered the central part of the kingdom. The army of nearly 30,000 people has gathered more than a dozen nobles from the entire eastern part of the kingdom and part of the central part of the kingdom. The power of hundreds of families, if it were not for the

If defenders are left at the border and at Sword Gate Fort to prevent the Eagle Kingdom from tearing up the agreement and taking advantage of the chaos to launch an attack, the First Prince's army will be even stronger.

The army moved in the direction of the royal capital in a mighty manner. The southern rebels, who were still insignificant, were obviously not as threatening to the second prince as they were to the eldest prince. Moreover, Hebrew felt that Wilfred had lost power, and Luo

Nan also suffered a lot of trauma, and although Tana's troops also suffered a lot of losses, they should be able to hold on for a while as long as they handle it carefully.

This was obviously not part of Tana's plan. Once Hebrew left, he became even more passive after losing more than half of his previous battles with Ronan, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he did not have any capital to reverse the second prince's fate.

In my mind, the second prince didn't help him because of his loyalty. The marquisdom that lost its owner can be used to bribe anyone, not necessarily him. Helping him was just a convenience to suppress the southern rebels.

Moreover, the southern rebels headed by Ronan and Wilfred had never been taken seriously by the second prince. As long as they withstood the eldest prince's offensive and then eliminated the Duke of Northland, he would have plenty of time to deal with the already weak people.

of the southern nobles.

"Damn! Damn guys! Ah!!!" Tana vented his anger in his room, smashing flower pots and other things all over the floor. After the Hebrew troops withdrew, he could only follow immediately.

Then he retreated to his main city.

But Ronan obviously didn't want to let him go easily. After Hebrews left, he sent troops directly and captured a large amount of Tana's territory. At first, Tana tried to resist Ronan on the border, but after several defeats, it suffered losses.

After losing a lot of troops, he chose a shrinking tactic, defending the main city and abandoning all other areas.

The coalition forces on Ronan's side have not yet been resolved, and Tana heard that Wilfred, who had been hiding before, seemed to be showing signs of activity again, and seemed to be planning to regain the lost territory. One wave after another, and he watched

Gradually falling into a desperate situation, Tana became more and more angry and crazy, and the huge pressure was about to crush him.

Outside the main city of Tana, Bergland City, Ronan's army has set up a siege camp. They surrounded the entire city with small earthen walls molded from clay that are as tall as a person. Countless barriers were set up in front.

Horses and other traps to prevent city residents from attacking at night or breaking out of sieges.

The siege has lasted for two days. Ronan did not attack, but was waiting for the arrival of "reinforcements". These reinforcements were naturally his newly recruited soldiers, but after all, there were armies of three other nobles here, and the sixth prince was also there.

, Ronan cannot directly transform into living people, he can only recruit them and let them assemble themselves and then follow him two days later.

In the command tent, Ronan was discussing tomorrow's siege plan with Nick, Moncef and others. At the beginning, he suffered a lot of losses due to the battle with the Hebrews, and even the territory was raided. Nick and Moncef

Saifu seemed very unhappy and irritable, but since the Hebrew troops withdrew and most of the Marquis of Tana was occupied by them, the two people who had received huge benefits began to be happy again.

Because they were not stingy in distributing benefits to them, after they once again felt the benefits of becoming senators, they became more enthusiastic about joining the Sixth Prince's Resistance Army. Of course, Assassin's disguise as Meses played an important role in this.

, after all, the three of them joined together. Nick and Monsef did not know that Messes had been replaced, so they naturally thought that Messes was considering their own interests.

Therefore, with Meses setting an example and serving as a role model, it has become much easier for Nick and Monsef to contribute funds. This is how humans are, when they are indecisive about something, as long as one person takes the lead, the others seem to have found it.

Courage is average.

"There's nothing to say. Tana is just resisting. His strength is at an absolute disadvantage compared to ours. When reinforcements arrive tomorrow, we will directly launch a general attack.

This time we launch an attack from all sides. My men are divided into two. Magna and I each lead half of the men to attack the east and south sides. Nick and you three are responsible for the north side, and Aldridge is responsible for the west side. No problem.

Bar?"

"No problem!" Nick answered first, and everyone else nodded.

"Well, if they attack from all sides, Tana's existing troops will be more difficult to defend. It is estimated that only one attack is enough to defeat them. Tomorrow, we will mainly launch the attack through the siege ladder. We will try to reduce the frequency of catapult attacks to avoid attacking the city wall.

Causing too much damage will make subsequent repairs more troublesome.

If you have nothing to do, let’s break up the meeting. Go back and eat something good and have a good rest. After tomorrow, we will be the last step away from ruling the southern part of the kingdom!”

The others dispersed and left one after another. Ronan also picked up the water cup and took a sip of water before leaving the command tent and returning to his temporary cabin.

The reinforcements arrived in the afternoon. Ronan directly asked Magna to take these new soldiers and add his own men to attack the south side of the city wall. There were more than a thousand attacking troops on each side of the city wall, and Tana

If the troops are dispersed and defended, there may only be about 500 people on one side. Except for the north wall where Nick and the others are responsible, which may encounter some obstacles, the other three sides should be able to break through easily.

Ronan was not prepared to massacre the defenders. After all, the prisoners would become a large force after they were surrendered. If they were scattered and dispersed into various troops, they would not constitute any internal trouble.

Early the next morning, Ronan's side launched an attack. The trumpet sounded, and soldiers rushed to the city wall from all directions carrying ladders. The siege ladder also advanced steadily. The trebuchets harassed the defenders.

Ronan doesn't plan to go into battle in person this time, because there is no need, and Ronan has no interest in those weak opponents. The last time he wanted to compete with the prestigious Marcelo and Hibs, he didn't meet him, so Ronan

Nan Xiao felt regretful.

As expected by Ronan, the sparse defenders were unable to take care of the entire city wall of Bergland City. Some weakly defended areas were harassed by trebuchets, and were soon occupied by siege soldiers.

Entered the stage of fighting for the position of the city wall.
