July 10, 298 BC——

Lorraine Empire, Orleans——

"Come on! Move the wounded down! "

"Reinforcements! Call reinforcements! The south wall needs reinforcements! "

"Ah ah ah! My hand! "

"Woo woo..."

......

Such a noisy scene has become a scene in Orleans every day for nearly two months.

The roars of the commanders, the painful groans of the wounded, and the sobs and tears of blood and fire

These various voices and expressions constitute a tragic scene that can not be described with any brush or paint.

Denis and Rocher standing beside him looked heavily at the britannian army still as dense as ants outside the city, as if they could not be killed.

"More than half of our troops have been killed and wounded..." Rocher's tone is full of uncontrollable loss, "and the soldiers of the British army are still endless... Commander Denis, if the reinforcements don't come again, the fall of Orleans will only be a matter of time..."

Rochelle's words made the dignified color on Denis's face beside him become more intense

After the total annihilation of the northern border army, there were only 80000 guards left to defend Tuli.

The reason why the central government of the Lorraine Empire did not send all 80000 guards to guard Orleans actually had its own deep meaning.

After the Britannia army launched an all-round attack on them, the civil and military ministers in the central part of the Lorraine Empire launched one discussion after another with the ultimate goal of "how to drive the britannians back".

According to the judgment of the elite in the central part of the Lorraine Empire, the Britannia army could not be defeated by dragging.

More than an hour after the announcement of breaking off diplomatic relations and delivering the declaration of war, the three armies of the British Empire launched an all-round attack on their Rowling empire.

It is obvious that the British Empire has been preparing for a long time to attack their Lorraine empire.

It is hard to imagine that the britannian Empire, which had been ready to attack the Lorraine Empire early, would be ill prepared and ill fed.

After the British Empire went south to attack their Lorraine Empire, the British army advanced very fast.

Even at such a fast speed, sufficient supplies could keep up with the British army for continuous advance and attack.

This also confirmed the correctness of the judgment that the British army had sufficient supplies.

If all the troops were concentrated in Orleans, it would certainly make the guard force of Orleans unprecedentedly strong and make it more difficult for the British army to capture Orleans.

But such an approach only made it impossible for the British army to continue southward.

There was no way to get the British army back.

The final outcome was that the British army was locked up outside the city gate of Orleans and fought a war of attrition with the Rowling army.

In terms of the current national strength difference between the two countries... Even if the British army came from a long distance and the Rowling army fought locally, it must be the British army that dominated the war of attrition in the end.

So the only way to get the British army back is to attack.

It is also unrealistic to ask for help from the Frankish Empire and the Holy Hiran empire.

Not to mention how long it will take to send envoys to the two countries for help.

Even if the emissary can arrive in time and send a request for assistance to the two countries, the two countries should not have the spare power to support the Lorraine empire.

The Frankish empire is now weaker than the Lorraine empire.

The holy Helan empire is probably better than the Lorraine Empire, but because the holy Helan Empire has been disturbed by grassland guards these years, it has focused on the Far East and has no spare power to send troops to the britannian empire.

It's no use sticking to the war of attrition and asking for help.

If you want to drive the British back, there is only one method that the Lorraine empire can use - to attack the British army.

Take the initiative to attack and defeat the British army in the field.

Only in this way could the British army be driven back from their land.

Although the odds of initiating a field battle with the British army are very low

But this is also their only hope to drive out the British Army

In response to the idea that the British army must take the initiative to attack, the general strategy designed by the central government of the Lorraine empire is as follows:

First, some troops were sent to defend Orleans to stop the British army from going south, so as to buy time for the central integration of combat power of the Lorraine empire.

After the defenders of Orleans kept the British army out of the city, the central part of the Lorraine Empire used the time gained by the defenders of Orleans to integrate the remaining combat power.

After the integration of combat power, a reliable general will command all their integrated combat power to rescue Orleans and save Orleans from the siege of the British army.

Thus, there was a scene in which Denis led 20000 guards to arrive in Orleans first and defend Orleans, while the other 60000 guards stayed in Tuli.

Since the beginning of the defense war in Orleans, Denis has been waiting for another 60000 guards and reinforcements integrated by local armed forces transferred from various places to help Orleans.

But now nearly two months have passed.

No reinforcements were seen.

If you don't worry, it must be false.

After all, if the reinforcements don't come, Orleans is over.

When will the central government send reinforcements?

Is the central government going to give up Orleans?

Haven't the reinforcements been integrated yet?

......

These questions flashed in Denis's mind these days.

The expanding death and injury in the city also made Denis's worry more and more intense

......

......

"More than half of our troops have been killed and wounded..." Rocher's tone is full of uncontrollable loss, "and the soldiers of the British army are still endless... Commander Denis, if the reinforcements don't come again, the fall of Orleans will only be a matter of time..."

Rochelle's words made the dignified color on Denis's face beside him become more intense

After a moment of silence, Denis murmured:

"Wait a few more days..."

"Stick to it for a few more days."

"Maybe reinforcements will come in a few days."

"Hold on for a few more days, maybe we can bring reinforcements..."

"... but..." as soon as Denis's voice fell, Rochelle looked hesitant and asked cautiously, "what if the reinforcements haven't come all the time..."

Denis did not answer Rocher's question.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at Rocher with eyes mixed with complex emotions.

Then he kept silent
