Stalling for time

19th July 1574

"Just what the hell are they waiting for…"

Standing on top of the makeshift wall that separated the city from the road that it was supposed to use, I observed the movements of the enemy. With Ostros troops daring to show their heads outside of the cover of the trees only due to a slip or other accident, I had no way of retaliating against their siege…

Or at least, that's what I hoped they would believe after giving them over two days to prepare their camp. Yet even while I could still order my troops to shoot at them, as the height advantage gave us just enough reach to put the entirety of the enemy forces within our effective shooting range, the fact that they were all hiding behind the trees right at the very edge of our range, meant that unless they would finally start their damned attack, we would be powerless to actually force them out.
