Chapter 623 The Xiliang Army Can’t Stand It Either
Some of the lords, when Caracalla II recruited their troops before, were doing it against the will and rowing wildly, and they were all complaining.
But now, after joining Flynn's camp, these previously disadvantaged households have gone crazy and violently mobilized troops one by one, often sending troops far beyond Flynn's imagination.
Flynn was naturally very happy to see more and more troops in his hands.
It's just...King Caracalla II, would he be very angry if he knew about this situation?
Because lords continued to join Flynn's camp, and lords continued to send troops to join Flynn.
So on the day when he tried to attack the Hexagonal Iron Fortress, Flynn had the indigenous auxiliary troops on hand, including his own legion, the army of Duke Balgruuf, the army of Duke Sange, and the troops of some other newly joined lords.
The number of indigenous troops alone exceeded 100,000!
That’s not counting the tens of thousands of mercenaries!
Originally, Flynn did not expect these patchwork multinational forces to have any combat effectiveness and enthusiasm.
They came to build up their momentum, and that was about it.
As a result, today, it seems that it was because everyone wanted to show off in front of Flynn, or maybe because of the rumor that Flynn would give a large reward.
All in all, these feudal lords, who are usually very stingy, are willing to risk their lives this time, saying that they are willing to use the lives of their soldiers in exchange for Lord Flynn's great victory!
Seeing these newly defected princes, one by one volunteered to participate in the main attack on the Hexagonal Iron Fortress.
Flynn was a little confused at first.
This is not the style of the lords!
Preserving strength is a normal phenomenon!
But after thinking about it for a while, Flynn figured it out.
Why did these feudal lords take the initiative to ask for battle and attack the fortress?
the reason is simple.
Yes, the feudal lords of this era were keen to preserve their strength.
But the lords who preserve their strength don't actually care about the lives of ordinary soldiers. They only care about military expenses and the dinars in their private treasury, but they don't care about their own people or the gray animals at the grassroots level.
For example, when the king summons an army, and the lord responds to the call, the food and clothing for thousands of people, as well as the high wages, all have to be paid for by the lord out of his own pocket!
As for this war, Flynn's military expenses were borne by Flynn.
From food supplies, to wages during military service, and even death pensions, Flynn generously contracted everything in order to win people's hearts.
For these lords who came to join the war, they just needed help.
They don't have to worry about food, supplies, wages, etc.
It makes sense that these stingy feudal lords would be proactive in doing so without having to use their own dinars.
When the princes ask for a battle, should they be allowed to go up?
Flynn's inner thoughts are that he doesn't think highly of the armies of the princes and allies. The main reason is that the hexagonal iron fortress is too dangerous, and the ordinary army can take the lead?
But since someone is so proactive and enthusiastic in asking for a fight, Flynn is naturally not very good at dampening their enthusiasm.
So Flynn ordered the players to serve as the vanguard, and then follow the elites from the coalition of princes to gather an army of 100,000 to attack the Hexagonal Iron Fortress!
Of course, although there are 100,000 in number, given the width of the battlefield, most of the troops can only shout 666 from behind.
The hexagonal iron fortress is very difficult to attack from the front.
But more and more rumors and intelligence show that the defenders inside the Hexagonal Iron Fortress are not the Iron Army.
The strong wind was blowing towards Flynn, and the defenders might have their thoughts in mind.
Flynn also had some expectations: If there was a situation where the morale of the defenders was too low and they were about to collapse, then it would not be impossible to capture the Hexagonal Iron Fortress head-on.
The east wind blows, the war drums beat, and the army attacks the hexagonal iron!
Flynn, full of expectations.
A day later, Flynn realized reality.
The Hexagonal Iron Fortress is still your uncle. It is really difficult to attack the Hexagonal Iron from the front.
After trying for two days, the enthusiasm of the coalition of princes has almost dissipated. Although they do not care about the lives of their ordinary soldiers, it is not a matter of giving it away in vain.
Besides, although ordinary soldiers will be encouraged to become brave men by generous rewards, they are not willing to die in vain for several days.
It can be seen with the naked eye that the morale of the coalition forces is somewhat low. Only Flynn's Second Iron Army still maintains high morale.
Of course, Flynn has also been hiding the Second Legion, only allowing them to attack in a symbolic way, and did not let the Second Legion die in vain.
The situation of the players is much better, even though the players died like dogs in the two days of attacks, the ones who died were bleeding like rivers, it was too horrible to look at.
But even with the series of defeats, the eager players are still in high spirits.
They even launched several night attacks!
In the fiercest wave of night attacks, even a few hundred people from a player army, the Xiliang Army, successfully climbed onto the hexagonal iron fortress wall and persisted there for a short period of time.
It's a pity that there are too many defenders in the Hexagonal Iron Fortress, and they are fully equipped with all kinds of war equipment, mage archers, etc.
Although the players of the Xiliang Army who stormed the city were equipped with excellent American equipment, they still could not hold on for too long and were quickly wiped out.
To some extent, Flynn admired the defenders' performance.
Facing the offensive of crazy dog-like players, the fortress defenders showed considerable discipline and fighting will.
It was far from being a piece of trash that could collapse at the drop of a hat as Flynn had previously thought.
It is worth mentioning that despite the hexagonal iron fortress as a natural barrier, the Iron Hill Kingdom did not defend it blindly.
Late that night, it may be a time period when a group of players will go offline to rest.
A group of cavalry rushed out from inside the Hexagonal Iron Fortress and headed straight for Flynn's camp. They seemed to want to use the night attack to behead Flynn.
What a courageous person!
The enemy's night attack was beheading, and the operation was naturally unsuccessful.
After all, Flynn has arranged many NPC soldiers near the military camp. The NPC soldiers conduct high-intensity and serious patrols 24 hours a day, making all sneak attacks impossible.
Flynn learned the news almost immediately that the enemy dared to break out of the fortress and conduct a night attack.
And made considerable arrangements and deployments, and conducted proper defense.
However, this time the enemy's night attack was not without success.
The night attack by these elite cavalry shocked the coalition of princes on Flynn's side.
That night, in the chaos, several princes' troops exploded, and the commotion continued until dawn, when they were reorganized.
