July 30, 290 in the imperial calendar of the British Empire.

14:28 p.m.

The southern front, the eastern battlefield, outside Maryn.

Mayin city is a city on the South Bank of the shunau River, a little south of Lyle city.

Like Lyle City, mayn city is a very ancient square city with only one wall. It is not divided into internal and external walls like some important cities.

However, unlike Lyle, the area of Mayne is much larger.

Lair city is a small city with only 20000 people in its heyday. The total population of mayn city is 10 times that of lair City, with a full population of 200000. Therefore, the area of mayn city is much larger than lair city.

Outside the mayin City, Su Cheng, who was wearing armor, put his left hand on the knight's sword hanging on his left waist, stood on a high stone and looked indifferently at the closed mayin city in the distance.

Bursts of summer wind blew, making the cloak behind Su Cheng sound.

On the evening of July 25, after successfully killing Jill and ERD, the enemy in front of Su Cheng was left to command 5000 troops to guard luoxie in mayn city.

As long as the last enemy is annihilated, Su Cheng can be said to be unimpeded and unstoppable in the eastern battlefield!

Therefore, after giving the whole army a little rest on July 26, Su Cheng immediately ordered the whole army to pull out and cross the river south! March towards the city of mayn on the South Bank of the shunau river! Get rid of the last enemy in the eastern battlefield!

After nearly four days of trekking, we finally arrived at the foot of mayn city today, that is, breakfast on July 30.

After arriving at mayin City, as Su Cheng expected, the city gate of mayin city was closed at this time, and the city wall was filled with the spirit of killing.

——It seems that Rocher, who is stationed in mayn City, has already known that Su Cheng will attack, so he is ready to defend the city.

After arriving at the foot of mayin city this morning, Su Cheng was not in a hurry to attack the city, but began to besiege the city and set up camp.

Su Cheng only surrounded the north, East and west walls of mayin City, leaving the south wall for the enemy in the city to flee and attack their fighting will.

This tactic of "encircling three palaces and one" is also the most commonly used tactic in the siege. Many generals often arrange ambushes outside the only gap left to ambush the enemy who escape from this gap.

However, Su Cheng didn't do it this time.

Su Cheng knows what his goal is this time.

The purpose of his attack on mayin city was only to capture mayin city and open a way for him to lead the East Route Army into the hinterland of the Lorraine empire.

Therefore, Su Cheng's purpose of attacking mayin city this time is only to attack the city, not to annihilate the enemy. If the defenders in mayin city want to escape, let them escape. Just let mayin city out.

"Coach."

Willie shouted to Su Cheng and walked quickly to Su Cheng's side.

"Commander, the troops are ready to attack the city. They can order to attack the city at any time."

"Yes." Su Cheng, who looked indifferent, gave a slight "um".

Su Cheng plans to carry out the first wave of exploratory siege this afternoon! Test the morale and combat effectiveness of the defenders in mayn city.

Su Cheng continued to look at the distant mayin City, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

"Willie." Su Cheng said to Willie nearby, "have you ever fought a siege?"

"I have participated in two sieges against the Frankish empire." Willie replied without hesitation.

"How do you feel?" Su Cheng asked.

“……”

Willie was silent for a moment and replied with a bitter face:

"To be honest, I don't want to participate in the third Siege..."

Siege is a battle that almost everyone will try to avoid.

There are many reasons to avoid it. The most important reason is that the casualties of the siege side will be extremely heavy.

Basically, a large number of people will die before the siege side touches the wall.

So many people will die just to touch the wall, let alone climb it.

Therefore, the siege with extremely heavy casualties has always been a battle that everyone has tried to avoid. Even if they have to attack the city, the generals of the siege side will take a variety of measures to try their best to reduce their own casualties.

For example, the "tired enemy war" of Deng Jiaer's attack on Lyle city a few days ago is the best example of using strange strategies to minimize the cost of his own attack.

However, Deng Jiaer's "tired enemy tactics" have great limitations, and can only be used for very few cities.

The area of mayn city is several times larger than that of Lyle city. No matter what you do, there is no way to cover the whole mayn city. Therefore, the "tired enemy tactics" can not be used to deal with mayn city at all.

After hearing Willie's frustrated words, Su Cheng smiled a few times and said:

"This is my first siege. For the first time in my life, it's too cold to mix some... There's no decent siege equipment... Only a few long siege ladders made temporarily..."

Because Su Cheng's East Route Army was only responsible for feint, the central government did not assign any siege equipment to the East Route Army.

All siege equipment was assigned to the West Route Army and the Middle Route Army. Of course, the Middle Route Army was assigned most of the siege equipment.

After the defeat of sola, Albert destroyed all the siege equipment of their Middle Route Army in order to speed up his escape and avoid the enemy.

Su Cheng doesn't have the most commonly used siege equipment, such as large siege crossbow, catapult, broken city hammer, etc.

Some only have the long ladder of siege made of wood temporarily, that is, the ladder.

Fortunately, the wall of mayin city is not high, so it is not difficult to make a ladder to reach the wall of mayin city.

Su Cheng can only rely on these temporary ladders to harden his head.

Su Cheng's deployment for the first wave of exploratory siege is as follows: Willie is responsible for the north wall, the commander of the 4th Army is responsible for the east wall, and the commander of the 8th Army is responsible for the west wall. Deng Jiaer and Alan just stay with him and stand by.

After a few complaints with Willie, Su Cheng's face turned serious.

"Willy, give me the order - blow the charge! Start the first wave of Siege! If you can, in this first wave of siege, attack the city of mayn for me! "

"Yes!"

……

Woo -! Woo -! Woo -! Woo -!

The melodious britannian army charge came from north, West and East.

It reached the ears of the soldiers of the Rowling army who were already waiting on the wall of mayn city.

Listening to the melodious charge horn, the veterans looked serious and silently clenched the weapons in their hands. The brave recruits were eager to try and looked curious, while the timid recruits were pale and sweaty.

Luo Xie, the garrison general of mayin city and the commander of the last army left on the eastern front and the top leader of the eastern front, is standing on the north wall of mayin city with his helmet and armor.

Looking at the thousands of britannian flags flying in the wind outside the city, listening to the higher charge horn, Rocher whispered in silence:

"Have you started..."
