Chapter 127 The Rebels Siege the City

Richard came to Osmar City and it was already late August.

After the military meeting, a large cloud appeared in the sky early the next morning.

The autumn rain fell, and the temperature dropped a little further.

Richard had just had breakfast, and there was already rolling smoke and dust outside Osma Castle.

Richard hurried to the city wall, looked up and found that the rebels had appeared ten miles away.

The rebels were in a mess, and many of them were refugees.

The refugees carried a ladder, farm tools, pigs and sheep, and chickens and ducks. The crying sounded as they shook the sky and slowly approached the Osma Castle.

After waiting for about an hour, the refugee forward had already entered the archer's range.

These refugees are natives from Brena County, and many of them are relatives of the defenders on the city walls.

Listening to the shouts of relatives in his hometown, the Brena City Defense Force was unable to take action and was reluctant to shoot and killed his hometown.

The cultists are the main force of the rebels. Their equipment is already good, and their armored rate exceeds 30%.

These people hid behind and kept driving away the refugees.

"Shoot the arrow!"

Richard shouted loudly and directed the Heihe County noble coalition to take the lead in firing arrows. Under the leadership of the Heihe County soldiers, the soldiers of Brena County also fired arrows one after another.

In an instant, arrows fell like rain and shot many refugees rushing in front of them.

These refugees who were trapped have no weapons and armor, no war experience, and their organizational strength is not good.

When they encountered casualties, they paniced and shouted. Many people ran around to avoid arrows.

Even if there are 100,000 such refugee troops, they still do not threaten Osma Castle.

Because the cult army did not take up the battle, the defenders easily repelled the first attack of the rebels.

In the rebel camp, Cardinal Gullivan stared at the walls of Osma and observed the density of the arrow rain, saying with great certainty: "Reinforcements have come from Osma."

"Since reinforcements have arrived, will we still fight Osmar City?"

"We have a lot of boiling blood potions left. Even if reinforcements come, we will be sure to conquer Osmar City. First use refugees to consume the arrows and spirit of the defenders. In the afternoon, we will distribute 200 boiling blood potions to conquer Osmar City in one fell swoop."

After the rebels suddenly besieged the city and repelled the first tentative attack, Richard immediately summoned the officers to meet.

This time, the nobles of Brena County basically came, including the few people who were late last time. Among them was Baron Franklin.

Baron Franklin has a commercial conflict with the Harland family.

Because of the large-scale sales of steel in Haaland Territory, the price of steel has been reduced by one third.

The price of iron has decreased. Baron Franklin also has a mine at home. He also sells iron products, so his income naturally dropped a lot.

The Haaland Territory relied on two thousand orcs to mine, and the output of blast furnaces far exceeded that of Franklin territory. Although the iron price has decreased, the output has continued to rise, and the revenue from selling steel has also increased.

By June this year, the steel production in the Haaland Territory had reached nearly thirty tons.

The territory demand is only eight tons, and the steel sold to the outside world is as many as twenty tons per month.

Even if the price of steel has fallen to twelve copper coins per kilogram, the territory relies on the sale of steel, and the net income per month has been 700 gold coins.

But to this extent, unless slaves are added and new blast furnaces are built, the steel production capacity will basically reach its peak.

Because of the competition for the steel trade market, the two families of Haaland and Franklin have already had considerable conflicts.

Yesterday, Richard convened a meeting of officers, and Baron Franklin did not come without giving face.

Today, the rebels siege the city was already in wartime. Baron Franklin did not dare to violate military orders easily. Even if he was unhappy, he still came to Richard's military tent.

"I looked at the list of soldiers sent by everyone yesterday. Including the Heihe County coalition, there are only 83 professionals in Osma Castle. The cultists have boiling blood potions. As long as they are used by one or two hundred soldiers, our defensive pressure will increase dramatically.

The most important thing is that the rebels also have an elite soldier. If the crazy believers use boiling blood potion, they will open the gap when they hit us, and the elite soldiers will follow closely to expand the gap, making it difficult to defend the city defense fortifications.

Therefore, this battle cannot be relied on sticking on its own initiative. We must take the initiative to disrupt the rebels' teams. We must never let the crazy believers spend their offensive and defensive battles.

According to everyone's information, I found that after using boiling blood potion, cultists will become violent and impulsive, as if they were wild animals, and their IQ will also be much lower in a short time.

We can take advantage of this weakness and rely on Warcraft Cavalry to attract enemies who use boiling blood potions.

Then seize the fighter plane and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop.

Next, I ordered Baron Franklin to command eight squadrons to serve as the central army, Baron Prani to command six squadrons to serve as the left wing, and Baron Sharp to command Blackhe County infantry to serve as the right wing. I personally led the Warcraft Cavalry to find fighter jets to raid the crazy believers who used boiling blood potions.

The remaining four squadrons stayed to defend the city together with the city defense force commanded by the city administrator Adress."

Richard's orders were not problematic on the surface, but actually had selfish thoughts.

In the morning, he observed that the central army in the rebel camp was the most elite, and there were basically no elite soldiers on the left and right wings.

Let Baron Franklin command the central army, which is actually to let Baron Franklin fight the rebels with his own strength.

When Franklin heard Richard's military order, his face turned pale.

But military orders must be enforced.

Every time there is a war, there are always people who have to bite the toughest, there are always people who eat meat, and there are always people who sacrifice themselves as scapegoats.

Richard was the commander of the noble coalition army, so he naturally did not need to let his own subordinates chew on the tough problems.

Therefore, the tasks shared by the Heihe County coalition forces are relatively light.

Besides, Richard also has to command the monster cavalry to deal with the most dangerous crazy believers. Richard, an alien nobleman, put himself in danger. How could you, the local nobleman of Brena County, not fight to the death?

After the military order was issued, Osma Castle opened the gate and teams of soldiers lined up at the foot of the city wall.

The Warcraft Cavalry commanded by Richard is temporarily hiding in the military camp in the city and is determined at the critical moment.

After being incorporated into the entourage of Baron Les and others, the Warcraft War Horses had more than forty.

The soldiers who cooperated with the Warcraft Knights all rode tall Northern Xinjiang horses.

The northern border horse is a common horse breed in the northern part of the Dawn Continent.

This kind of horse is very suitable as a war horse. It is tall and has amazing strength. It can easily carry a knight weighing three or four hundred pounds and run wildly.

The northern border horse is expensive, and a horse is sold for fifteen gold coins, almost comparable to a middle-aged slave. He feeds food on weekdays and is full of energy during wartime, so he can keep up with the Warcraft Cavalry.

Although the soldiers riding horses in the northern border are attendants of the Warcraft Cavalry, their combat effectiveness is not weak at all. They have very good military skills and have practiced breathing techniques for many years and their qualities are better than those of infantry.
