Entering Nashrame through the sewers is undoubtedly a very painful thing.
But what was more painful than this was that when Tariq finally walked in through the sewers and searched according to the map to find those Burning Sun believers, he found that they were no longer at home - these people were all taken away by the port authorities. The governor moved to the ruins of the destroyed temple and centralized management.
What was more painful than not being able to find the target was that when Tarik finally came to the ruins of the temple after some wandering and wanted to see if he could contact him, he found that quite a few of these people were They rebelled, they got the help of some kind of Sun God Cult, and stood on the side of the Nashramei front!
What was more painful than the target's rebellion was that when Taric ran out of supplies and could only painfully return to the camp, he got the news. Just as he quietly sneaked into the city, Jarvan IV led the main force to conduct exercises every day. While he was protecting himself, the La Horak warrior camp nearby was attacked and he was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.
What is more and more painful than the surprise attack on the allied forces is that the leader of the surprise attack on the allied forces may be the same person who seriously injured Tariq in Ningwu Road. Tariq's journey to Nashrame Not only did he run away in pain, but he also just missed the opportunity for revenge and missed his enemy!
That is to say, Tariq has been to the top of the mountain and has also fallen to the bottom, and his mind has been as solid as a rock. If it were another person to withstand this series of blows, he would be more or less depressed.
However, Tarik did not gain anything at all.
After he secretly sneaked into Nashrame City, because his goal was to contact the believers of the Burning Sun Sect, he at least confirmed that the Sun God Sect and the Burning Sun Sect were not the same people - this kind of information is a known condition from the perspective of God. , but it is very important to Demacia. If Taric hadn't given him certain information, Jarvan IV might have been considering re-evaluating his relationship with the Sun Sect.
(Of course, in fact, it may actually be a better choice for Jarvan IV to re-evaluate his relationship with the Sun Cult.)
At this point, the first round of the clash outside Nashrami City was almost over.
After this round, Demacia did not make any breakthroughs, but the losses were also very small. Although a team of Dragon Bird Knights was wiped out and supplies were consumed to a certain extent, with the arrival of subsequent reinforcements and the interception positions on the flanks, Completed, Demacia is ready for a frontal attack.
So, let’s attack!
Of course, a strong attack is not about killing everyone in a swarm.
Even if it is a stupid way, there is still a stupid way of thinking.
The average height of the city walls of Nasramei is more than ten meters, and the thickness is more than three meters. Although the armaments are weak and the equipment for defending the city is not very complete, the Demacians are still at an absolute disadvantage even if they are just throwing stones against the city wall.
Although the oasis outside the city can provide basic water supply, it does not have the wood that can be used to build war equipment. If you rely on flesh and blood to attack the city wall, you will have to pay a heavy price.
Therefore, if you want to take the city wall with a frontal attack, Demacia's biggest advantage should be its own army's dispatching ability-the Nasramei city wall is good in everything, but it is too long, even if Black has assembled 50,000 people as defenders. The city army, but when it comes to actually deploying defenses, he still cannot do everything, and can only carry out segmented defense in small teams.
If Demacia could maneuver its siege troops and create chaos among the poorly trained defenders within the city, then perhaps it could find an opportunity to break through the city's defenses.
In addition, although the surprise attack in the sewers did not take effect, the sewers can still be used. If necessary, arranging an explosion underground will attract the attention of the defenders and provide a short window period without support for the siege. .

I have a stereotype that the city-state defenders are unbearable. As long as I can find a way to climb the city wall, victory will be almost at hand!
As for the guy who sneak-attacked Tariq...
The elders of the Sun Cult found Jarvan IV not long ago and they will take care of it.
……………………
Jarvan IV quickly drew up plans for the next battle.
The next day, the Demacia army, which had only been out in force before, approached within 200 yards of the Naschramei city wall for the first time.
The Demacian army, fully armored and armed, was full of momentum.
Under the guidance of the flag, the Demacian army's battle line was like a sea wave, with wave after wave of blue waves rushing towards the city wall.
Compared with the Demacia army, the performance of the Nashra American defenders, which had a geographical advantage, was much inferior. After many "exercises", they had become accustomed to the Demacia side's orderly formation. It seemed that the Demacians would wait in formation as before and then retreat when the time was up, so they didn't feel nervous mentally.
As a result, when the Demacia side entered the range of the weapons projected by the soldiers on the city wall, they did not have time to carry out the first wave of fire coverage, allowing the Demacians to easily cross the two hundred-yard marking line.
There was no chance of a head-on attack, so the lower-level commanders on the city wall could only issue orders for free fire, hoping to give the Demacians some color by missing arrows from a high position.
However, free shooting is a great test of the military's training level.
Although the more than 50,000 garrison troops mobilized by Black, the governor of the Nasramai port, were indeed massive, which largely made up for the problem that the city wall of Nasramai was too long and difficult to fully defend, it also greatly reduced the defense force. The training level of the defenders.
After the free-fire order was issued, the militiamen who had simply undergone training quickly became frightened and began to fire rapidly and desperately due to emotional tension.
As a result, before the Demacia vanguard arrived at the city, each of them began to have acid reflux and weakness in their arms.
Most of these hurriedly shot arrows flew to nowhere, and the few that luckily hit the target only scratched the surface of the rune steel armor and eventually fell into the sand.
Jarvan IV, who was observing the battle from behind, immediately frowned.
From the perspective of a professional defender of Demacia, Jarvan IV had already discovered the Nashrame defenders even if his own army had not yet begun to climb the city wall and had only walked the 200 yards from the marking line to the bottom of the city. At least four huge holes here and there.
According to the information provided by the Dragon Bird Knight, after Jarvan IV learned about the placement of military facilities in the city of Nasramei, he was originally worried that the other party was an expert in defense.
If you look at it now...
expert?
Iron rookie!
There is no problem in recruiting militiamen to defend the city.
But there is a problem when militiamen and elites are mixed together and bear the same responsibilities!
There is no problem in setting up sign lines designed outside the city.
But there is only one marked line. As long as the enemy crosses it, he can only shoot freely. This is a problem!
It's no problem to shoot freely when you can't locate the enemy.
But it's not free fire with group fire coverage, but free fire with everyone drawing their bows at will. This is a problem!
Keeping the walls fully stocked with arrows is no problem.
But there is a problem if you hand over all the arrows to rookies who are obviously nervous and let them strain their muscles after finishing shooting!
Could it be that these Nashra beauties behaved so poorly on purpose?
The thought "Is the enemy trying to lure the enemy?" suddenly appeared in Jarvan IV's mind.
However, Jarvan IV quickly shook his head and denied this speculation.
After all, Nasramei is the defender and even has sea transportation channels. As long as it defends safely, it will be very difficult for itself. There is no point in doing anything fancy.
They are the real deal!
Realizing this, Jarvan IV did not hesitate at all, directly testing the attack into a stepped attack, and launched the second wave of offensive.
The position of the second attack wave was on the east side of the first wave of siege teams. After entering the attack posture, the defenders corresponding to the city wall also showed extremely low combat quality - the same version of delayed fighters, the same version of The arrows flew randomly.
Then came the third wave, the fourth wave...
Under the poor performance of the Nasramei defenders, Demacia's siege front was fully deployed. After arriving at the city, Demacia soldiers raised their shields to defend against attacks from above while using engineer shovels to dig. city wall.
If the enemy reacts slowly, they will try to dig out slots and climb the wall; if the enemy reacts quickly enough, they will just dig two shovels and run away.
In addition, a few soldiers who carried iron ropes took the opportunity to throw out chains with barbs at the ends and directly tried to climb.
The inexperienced Naschramei defenders were almost stunned. Even in the section of the city wall where the fifth wave of offensives was located, a Demacia shield formation even successfully scaled the city wall. However, in the end, its foothold was not stable and was defeated by Naschramei. The veteran was blocked back.
In just two hours, Demacia dispatched more than 5,000 people and carried out more than ten echelon attacks on the city wall in the southeast of Nashrame. Large areas of the city wall were caught in the flames of war.
By the time Ming Jin retreated, although Demacia did not control any section of the city wall, there were already many dents on the outside of the city wall in the area they attacked. The defense difficulty will be greatly improved.
This was a very successful offensive for Jarvan IV.
Next, he will shift his position and start a second wave of strong attacks.
……………………
After two hours of strong attack, Jarvan IV could accept it, but Black in the city couldn't accept it no matter what.
No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't understand why he, who was clearly a defender of the city, fought so ugly when faced with the Demacian siege!
Obviously, this was not the case when Nasramei attacked Uzeris before!
Unlike Jarvan IV, who relied on his military exploits to fully establish his position in Demacia, Black was able to become the port governor of Nasramai because of the Great Shurima strategy and anti-war.
Yes, anti-war.
The most important reason why Black was able to rise to power in Nashrame was that he was the one who took a clear-cut stand against Nasramae's invasion of Uzeris - when Noxus had just suffered a defeat in the Ionian War, its power had begun Saga, the former Nashrame Port Governor, chose to seize this opportunity and tried to annex Uzeris under the banner of the orthodoxy of the Shurima Empire.
At that time, Nasramei absorbed a lot of Noxian military experience and hired many Noxian grassroots commanders. On paper, it was the strongest city-state in Northern Shurima.
It was this self-confidence that made Saga choose to take advantage of the power vacuum to send troops to Uzeris, hoping to win it in one fell swoop.
But obviously, she underestimated the huge pressure the desert would put on logistics, and also underestimated the huge obstacle Uzeris—or the ancient city wall of Shurima—posed to siege.
Even if the initial battle went smoothly, the U.S. forces in Nashrami quickly cleared the peripheral oasis of Uzeris and began to besiege the city of Uzeris. However, in the subsequent siege process, Nashrame was unable to make a breakthrough. .
The city wall cannot be taken down, nor can Uzeris' sea transportation channel be completely cut off.
Saga was not aware of the importance of the black market in Uzeris to Shurima. After the war began, she tried to use commercial means to attract ships to Uzerith, in this way reducing the supply of Uzeris and thereby reducing the supply of Uzeris. Hurtful.
But to her surprise, Uzeris's business system did not have any problems due to her run. On the contrary, it seemed that the wealthy Nashramei was gradually unable to make ends meet.
The residents of Nashirama, who originally had a "Great Shurima" heart, gradually became dissatisfied as taxes increased day by day. They couldn't see
The hope of victory in the war did not benefit from half of the war. They only knew that the taxes they had to pay were getting higher and higher day by day, and the standard of living was visibly declining. Those young people who believed the words of the port governor and joined the army to fight for Nashrame Some people came back lamely, and some came back lying down.
Without the basis for a protracted war, protests against the war soon broke out in Naslam. All walks of life began to use their own channels to make their voices heard, hoping to end the war.
Saga still hopes to hold on, because on the Uzeris side, the main force defending the city has changed from regular troops to militia. At this time, if they hold on longer, they will win - but the Nashra Americans are not willing.
In the end, large-scale protests broke out in Nashrame. The U.S. military in Nashrame on the front line encountered huge logistical problems and had to retreat. Saga was expelled from the city in embarrassment, and all her assets in Nashrame were destroyed. Blake, who led all these confiscations, quickly came to power and became the new port governor of Nasramei.
In Blake's view, if you want to defend the city, you must mobilize the militia in the city, which is what Uzeris did.
But it is obvious that when this piece of experience is placed in Nashilamei, it becomes a desperate matter.
Just when Blake was in a daze, the Demacian army outside the city made some preparations and soon began the second round of echelon attacks.
Then came the third and fourth rounds.
At the end of the day, Demacia launched four rounds of frenzied offensives, and the entire southeastern city wall of Naschram was shaking everywhere.
As for the results...
Although Demacia had not been able to capture any section of the city wall until sunset, the number of people who climbed onto the city wall had also changed from a sporadic one or two at the beginning to a sporadic shield team or two.
By maintaining such an offensive, Jarvan IV felt that victory was within his grasp.
