Last page of 3 successive head of a Noble family, indeed its quite picturesque.That past page is something else
Vietnam twice."Earth's history has proven that an army of citizens that tries to defend their freedom are incredibly strong." Has such a thing ever really happened in Japan? In East Asia? China kicked out the Japanese, but that wasn't an isolated city, and the Japanese experience wasn't isolated from the island advance of the Americans. For Vauban and Marx, cities are unsustainable under siege because they must import food from the countryside to sustain their population, and this is what defines cities (Anti-Duhring).
And which two cities under siege during war defeated their besiegers without assistance from outside the besieged city?Vietnam twice.
That wasn't your original question, though. So, the answer to your original question, is yes it has. Vietnam, twice. They kicked out the French and the US. The MC's statement mentions nothing about a "besieged city defeating the besiegers without assistance". Rather, the statement is referencing any situation where people are fighting for their freedom against an oppressive enemy are not easily defeated. The MC never insinuated that they would lose. He stated they believed they would win but the damage on them would have been much worse. And the worst case scenario would be all the civilians dying. It would have been a hollow victory."Earth's history has proven that an army of citizens that tries to defend their freedom are incredibly strong." Has such a thing ever really happened in Japan? In East Asia?

In this chapter it is a city which is conquered. The protagonist did not make his statement at random. The author did not write at random.The MC's statement mentions nothing about a "besieged city defeating the besiegers without assistance". Rather, the statement is referencing any situation where people are fighting for their freedom against an oppressive enemy are not easily defeated.
I already answered it with the same (China) and tossed that answer aside because it is useless. There is no support to the protagonist's and author's claim that "citizens" (codified classes in medieval society like burgher, 町人, or citizoyen (where "citizen" comes from)) are strong under siege.That wasn't your original question, though. So, the answer to your original question /.../
You may be able to read the content, you just seem to dense to understand it. That is why I throughly explained it to you, but you still seem to miss the point.You don't need to restate every line from that page for me. Not only can I also reopen the same page as you, I can even read the story including each line as one cohesive narrative:
Again, the MC's statement was a reference that people fighting for their freedom are hard to defeat. Which he is applying to this situation. Doesn't matter if it a country, a city, or their dwelling. I don't know why that is hard for you to understand.In this chapter it is a city which is conquered. The protagonist did not make his statement at random. The author did not write at random.
Yes, actually there is evidence of this. All of human history!! Which, again, the MC references!!! Also, look up the 3:1 ratio rule of combat.There is no support to the protagonist's and author's claim that "citizens" (codified classes in medieval society like burgher, 町人, or citizoyen (where "citizen" comes from)) are strong under siege.
