Chapter 13 13 Soldiers approaching the city"Report!" A general in gray armor knocked on the thick door, loudly shouted outside the door.
"Disappointing!" Inside the room, he pulled out his palm from the bedclothes on a delicate woman's chest, and City Lord Berman of Ferry City instructed in a displeased and cold voice: "Get in here! Say it now!"
The woman didn't seem to be enjoying herself. Her arms were hanging around the neck of King Your Majesty, and she was petite and reluctant: "Sir..."
"hmph!" Intrigued, Berman stepped on the woman beside him, and the many Gold Chains hanging on his body swayed, shining softly under the candlelight.
"My lord! The major event is not good... The troops stationed at the border, guarding against the troops in the west, the 300 infantry led by General Lear, all... the whole army was wiped out..." After the general entered the room Not daring to look up, he lowered his head with his legs together and said in a mournful voice.
"What?" Hearing that his general was defeated and that so many soldiers were lost, Berman City Lord suddenly sat up straight from the chair, the anger on his face made people shudder.
"I deployed 500 soldiers on the border! They were wiped out in just two days? Is it Mayne's army? Or Serris' army?" He clapped his big hand on the table and issued There was a crisp sound: "Lear is a stupid pig! What does he eat?"
Yesterday he was still immersed in the joy of capturing tens of thousands of Mayne civilians, and today he listens to it Such a shocking news.
At first he thought that it would take at least ten days for the two countries to decide whether to win or lose. At that time, he also arranged for the civilians who had been coerced, and made preparations for the mobilization of the war. .
Serris or Mayne, who has a great injury, are both impossible to take revenge on him immediately, at least until next year before a large-scale war may break out.
But in fact he estimated everything wrong: the war had broken out the day before yesterday, and today his field troops were almost wiped out...
"According to the people who fled back. Soldier's report... Yesterday afternoon, Serris' black armored cavalry bypassed the scouts and suddenly appeared on the flank of General Lear. General Lear was caught off guard and could only rush to fight. He himself died in the chaos of the army. The whole army has been wiped out..." The general embarrassed and reported the news he had just received.
"Didn't they just fight Mayne's main force? Huh? Are Mayne's troops all idiots? They rout without killing a single Serris? You tell me? Hmmm ?" The violent Berman City Lord swept away the water glass and various utensils in front of him and roared loudly.
"Sir! According to the information, Serris' cavalry is not too many, only 300 people. They don't have the ability to recruit more troops to attack us. Maybe, maybe it's just harassment. As long as We shrink our troops and retreat to the city for defense, so there should be no danger..." The general kneeling on the ground swallowed his saliva, looked away from the half-bare-breasted beauty, and spoke with persuasion.
Berman is silent, he is weighing the pros and cons - if he shrinks his troops now, it means giving up all the civilians he plundered before.
As long as Serris's cavalry kills, these civilians will soon return to their original settlements, and will not stay in the Ferry City at all.
Too busy? Berman felt a little uneasy about this kind of thing. But he had nothing to do with Serris' cavalry, so he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
"Immediately gather all the troops and guard the Ferry City! Bring Laurens to me!" Berman glanced at the general kneeling on the ground, waved his hand and turned his anger on the woman: " This bitch... rewarded to you!"
After weighing it, he felt that it would be more secure to keep his foundation. If the population is gone, he can find a chance to fight again next time, but if the city is lost, then he There is absolutely no hope of a turnaround. So he decided to gather his troops and wait for the other party to come to the ferry city.
"Your Majesty!" Hearing that she was thrown to a rude general, the beautiful Hua Rong, who was slumped on the ground, paled, screaming but not daring to move.
"Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!" The general who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly bowed his head with a lewd smile on his face as he thanked him.
Without looking at the woman who was already crying, City Lord Berman opened his arms. A few surrounding maids stepped forward and hung the prepared armor on his fat body.
Soon, wearing leather armor, the strong Laurens walked into Berman's City Lord's Mansion, with a long sword on his waist, looking majestic.
The General Laurens is the commander of the Ferry City Fleet, commanding the Ferry City fleet. He doesn't usually go ashore very often, and is an out-and-out aquatic animal.
Seeing his men, Berman immediately instructed: "Launs! Serris City's cavalry is coming! Prepare your men!"
"I As I said earlier, you caught those civilians to cause trouble for your upper body, and if you do something like this, you will get Heavenly Retribution!" Lawns coldly snorted and said while holding his long sword and holding his chin.
"It's too late to say anything now! You do what you should do! I do what I should do!" Berman was a little dissatisfied with the arrogance of his subordinates, and poked his finger in the other's chest scolded.
Launs watched Berman's fingers poking on his chest, nodded expressionless, took a step back and turned away: "I will make the fleet ready to go to sea!"
"Sooner or later... I'll make you a bastard!" Watching Laurens's back, Berman spat out one mouthful of impure air and cursed.
......
Chris wiped the sword in his hand and looked up at the majestic Ferry City. This is not a castle, but a real city with a port.
Besides him, war horses are snorting and bowing their heads to graze. On the hillside in the distance, groups of refugees who have spontaneously organized to go home are surging along the road to the west horizon.
Five days have passed since departure, and in a few days, he has rescued countless civilians who were brought here from the eastern plains of Maine. Destroyed at least 350 Ferry City soldiers.
The loss of 300 cavalry was not small, and a full 50 fell on the road ahead. Because there were no heavy weapons, dozens of large and small battles were fought by the real thing led by Chris.
"My lord!" Riding a tall horse, Valgeron's adjutant Coria reined in his reins beside Chris and reported loudly, "The artillery has arrived!"
"Very good! Take a rest! We will start attacking Ferry City in the afternoon!" Chris knew that five days were already a lot of time, and he had no patience to waste any more time. He had to end the battle immediately.
As for the Ferry City's fleet, and the damn Berman City Lord, he is no longer in the mood to pay attention to it. Even if the other party escapes this time, he and this Berman will settle the account in the future!
Chris waited all morning for his main force. He personally supervised the artillery unit to set up positions under the city, and soon 20 artillery pieces were lined up outside the ferry city, ready to fire.
"Let them see what a real war is!" Chris rode on his horse, out of bow and arrow range, watching the city wall of Ferry City in the distance.
As his order was passed on, the distant cannon made a dull thud after another.
"bang!" "bang!" As if the earth was shaking, one after another shells flew to distant targets in the dull thunder sound, blooming on the city wall of Ferry City Out of the devil's flowers.
The gravel spread with the shock wave of the explosion, the billowing smoke filled everywhere, the city wall was in a mess, and the ground trembled with the sound of the cannons.
Chris squinted as the city wall of Ferry City slowly crumbled and crumbled. He was a little regretful that he didn't have a telescope to watch this magnificent scene carefully.
He didn't order anyone to persuade him to surrender, he just prepared his own attack and waited for Ferry City to open its doors to him.
No one can resist the roar of cannons. The fortifications in the age of cold weapons will naturally crumble under the blow of modern technology. The collapse of the enemy is only a matter of time, and he has absolutely no need to worry.
Just like the siege of Maine Castle, a huge white flag was erected on the city wall of Ferry City soon. In a magical world, no soldier is willing to fight against the "magic army" .
"It seems that the courage of the other party is merely this." Chris pressed the long sword around his waist and gave a not-so-high evaluation. With his legs tucked into his horse's belly, he slowly moved forward with his troops.
The city gate of Ferry City was opened from the inside, and the soldiers guarding the city knelt on both sides of the city gate, not even having the courage to look up at Chris. Chris didn't bother to bother with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and went straight to the City Lord's Mansion in Ferry City with his troops.
......
"Hu, hu!" Berman, panting slightly, tore off the armor on his chest while running forward. His figure was already cumbersome, and at this time he appeared even more puffy.
He was standing on the city wall just now, waiting for Serris soldiers with only a few hundred people to attack the city. He prepared tens of thousands of bows and arrows, as well as rolling stone wood, just waiting for Chris to lead an army to die.
But it's not what he expected, the other party's attack is a bit special...the city wall unfathomable mystery exploded, and after those strange hissing noises, gravel and iron pieces cut around Everyone's body is as sharp as a sword.
He saw with his own eyes a soldier had half of his head shaved off by a piece of iron, and his ears were buzzing with the loud explosion. He couldn't hear the cries around him at all, which made him even more at a loss.
Until now, he has not recovered his hearing. He stumbled out of the city wall all the way, and the guards around him have disappeared.
All he has left now is a single thought: get out of here, stay away from those terrifying explosions, find a chance to make a comeback, and come back for today's vengeance on this arrow!
