After the army entered Sobibor, the garrison and many administrative officials in the city were all put into custody.

Renard ordered the sergeants not to harass the civilians, and then had the city's vaults open to count the results and reward the three armies.

At noon the next day, a casualty report was presented to the table.

Renard looked at the loss report, looked at the line of bright red numbers, and sighed helplessly.

Putting aside the consumption of shells and the damage to the equipment and horses, the casualties alone were enough to make him anxious.

Two thousand four hundred and eighty-six people were killed and more than 10,000 wounded, and he had never suffered such a big loss since the army of Nanhuang County entered Kale County.

Even from the time of entering Kale County, all the casualties did not add up to this one.

The main reason is that the defense of Sobibor is too strong, the defense facilities are too complete, if you don't make dangerous moves, concentrate the elite troops to attack a little, I am afraid that this city will be difficult to break.

Even if it can be encircled and forcibly broken from all sides, I am afraid that the casualties will be more than ten times that of today.

The corpses were briefly disposed of by the logistics troops, and then sent to Nanhuang County, where they were returned to their relatives along with bereavement benefits and rewards.

In fact, not only the Chinese people have a tradition of returning to their roots, but Westerners also attach great importance to family, affection and the countryside.

After Renard captured Sobibor, he once again fought for a decisive battle with the Creightons.

At the same time, he also gave the Gestapo a death order, keeping an eye on the movements of the Cronin family and the Rowling Kingdom, and now it is time to decide the victory, and any mistake will have irreparable consequences.

He was just one step away from victory, and he didn't want to fall short.

King Ferdinand and Count Eliot, commander of the Eastern Army, were soon shocked to hear the news of Reynard's capture of Sobiborg.

Fort Sobie, Fort War, and Fort Fisherman's were the most fortified cities outside of Fort Creighton, and the neat array of artillery at the head of the city showed how difficult it was to take them.

However, it was in this situation that Renard completely captured Sobib in just one night, which can hardly be described as speedy.

The two couldn't help but think: Could it be that Sobibor has surrendered in Kaecheng?

After a careful understanding, they knew what happened, and at the same time began to admire Lei Ye's ruthlessness and decisiveness.

After learning about the defense of Warburg and Fisherman's Castle, the two armies did not consider the possibility of sending elite troops to carry out a surprise attack, but in the end they were rejected.

After all, the risk of this plan is too great, and if the sneak attack fails, this elite army is afraid that it will be buried in vain.

Besides, they can't find many elite troops under their command at all.

So when Lei Ye was sitting in Sobib and drinking tea, the two armies were still fighting with the enemy.

In the scorching sun, Ferdinand couldn't help but jump into a rage as he watched the siege army retreat again, and Frank Magister and the Marquis of Trolop were helpless about it.

Magister Frank tried to blend in with the siege crowd and cast a forbidden spell at the gates.

However, reciting a long spell requires reciting a long spell and preparing other auxiliary tools, and condensing the forbidden spell requires a huge amount of elemental energy to be gathered, and the target is extremely conspicuous.

As for how conspicuous it is, it is like a dawn rising in the dark night sky.

Therefore, before he could finish his preliminary work, the magic cannon hit his location as if it had an eye.

He also infiltrated the city and tried to hide in the houses to release the forbidden spell, but the results were similar, sensing that a huge amount of elements had gathered, the magic cannon directly moved the houses to the ground.

If he hadn't retreated in time when he saw that the situation was not good, he was afraid that he would have been bombarded into pulp.

The Marquis of Trolope also infiltrated the city and tried to kidnap the commander of the other party and force him to surrender, but he searched for two days and two nights without finding anyone.

In fact, in the face of such a large-scale army battle, the impact of individual strength can be said to be minimal.

No matter how strong the strength is, in the face of countless strong crossbows and artillery, there is still only a share of the feathers.

Stronger than the Marquis of Trolope, although he can be a thousand, but he can block several waves of dragon crossbows and magic cannon shots, as long as a cannonball hits, he can be sent to see His Majesty Rochelle.

For now, the only way to do this is to slowly wear down the will and vitality of the defenders.

In this way, the tragic siege battle lasted for nearly half a month, and the defenders finally ran out of ammunition and food, and then they were forced to surrender the city.

This is the difference between Easterners and Westerners, who do not consider surrender to be a shameful thing.

On the contrary, the nobles who surrendered were also given preferential treatment.

However, it is impossible to get King Ferdinand to treat these people who have caused trouble for themselves, and without directly drawing a knife and slashing the other party, it can be regarded as a noble cultivation in place.

At the end of August, Fisherman's Fort also surrendered, and the last obstacle in front of the crusade army was cleared, and the next step was to face Fort Creighton, the core city of the Creighton family.

In early September, King Ferdinand approached Fort Creighton with an army of 40,000 men.

He lost nearly 10,000 men in this siege, and nearly 20,000 in the entire crusade.

On the same day, Count Eliot's Eastern Army and the nobles' private army, totaling 23,000 men, also marched to Fort Creighton, and his losses were much smaller than those of the king.

The main reason is that the Eastern Army is brave and good at fighting, and with proper command, there are no fortified cities along the way except for Fisherman's Fort, so the loss of troops is less than 9,000.

The smallest loss is Renard, in addition to the brave and good fighting of the non-commissioned officers and the proper command of the officers, it is also related to the more comprehensive coordination of the troops, and the most important thing is the bug of the system.

After the whole battle, the number of dead was less than 5,000.

On the ninth day of September, the three armies gathered at Fort Creighton.

100,000 people lined up in the suburbs, and the scene was particularly spectacular, not far less than the national war.

It was the first time that King Ferdinand had commanded a campaign of this magnitude, and it was needless to say that he was proud.

He personally received Renard and Count Eliot, acknowledging their exploits and saying that they would be rewarded after the war.

Of course, in addition to compliments, the ultimate purpose of his recruitment of the two was to discuss a detailed plan for attacking Fort Creighton.

Fort Creighton was stronger than the other three cities, not only were the walls taller and thicker, the moat wider and deeper, but also the number of troops was as high as 10,000, and it would not be a problem to make up 50,000 or 60,000 if you count the young and strong.

There are countless defensive equipment such as muskets and artillery, which is like a war fortress.

On top of that, the Marquis of Sidney was in command.

Renard's battle plan is to besiege the city and besiege it until the opponent is exhausted: "There are 200,000 people living in this city, even if the supplies are fully prepared, we can only hold on for half a year at most, we just need to wait for the other side to surrender with peace of mind." ”

He was in no hurry to end the war now, because in addition to the city in front of him, the other towns of Kale County had already been taken in, and even pacification and recovery work had been quietly underway.

Whether the Creighton family surrenders or not, whether they exist or not does not have much impact on him.
