Chapter 0337 - Decisive Battle: Striking the East and Attacking the West!
The town of Yanchang, the estuary of the Trident River. After the Magic Mountain had basically finished harvesting the crops near Yanchang Town, it was time to come to the first month of the year 299 in the Aegon calendar.
"Decisive battle!" said Magic Mountain, "Luce Bolton is arraying at the crossing of the Green Fork River to fight us in an open showdown. Magic Mountain held up the letter of challenge that Luce Bolton had written to him.
When the generals heard this, they all laughed.
Magic Mountain looked around at the generals, Angey, Julie, Sweetmouth Raff, Executioner Dunson, Big Head Chiswick, Titan Tobert, Law Enforcement Captain Gorilla Rolger, and Sir Graden, all of whom laughed.
Except for Fangs and Erin and Polliver, there is no one who is not proud and does not despise each other.
Fangs are mute, and can only whine to express their feelings, Erin is a northerner, and his heart is resistant to fighting the northerners, so every time he fights with the northerners, he puts down his mask and never shows his true face.
The Magic Mountain has never despised Luce Burton. But the generals had been made very proud of one of Luthburton's unarmored retreats, and had completely looked down on the Northerners. It's actually a very bad thing. This often means that Luce Bolton has achieved the pride he wants, and since he has gone and returned, and set up the crossing, he is naturally ready for a decisive battle.
Luce Bolton does not fight unprepared battles!
The Northern Army is not about to collapse at the touch of a button, the main reason is that Luce Bolton is a general who fights and charges behind, and if he changes his style this time and becomes a charge, the real combat power of the Northern Army that has been suppressed for a long time will explode.
Luthbolton had no cavalry, but pikemen were ten times as numerous as the cavalry of the Magic Mountain. The position is fought to the death, and the Magic Mountain cavalry will suffer heavy losses. The cavalry of less than 1,000 people is the capital of the Magic Mountain, but it can't stand the toss. This time, the infantry was also the Klegane soldiers of the Magic Mountain, the descendant troops, the warrior regiment, the Amorian army, and the mountain infantry nearly 2,000 people harvested crops on the east bank of the Divine Eye Lake in Harrenhal.
The harvest of crops in Magic Mountain this time was also divided into two routes, and both sides of the river were carried out at the same time. The crops on the eastern shore of the Lake are also vast, requiring more than 1,000 laborers to work in the fields. The one-eyed charmer Zira the Skinny Gonthor and their more than 1,000 mountain soldiers are the best farmers, while the warriors and the Amorites are responsible for carrying them.
The cavalry and infantry of the Magic Mountain on the west bank of the river this time, excluding the grain collection team, were less than 2,000 people, and the combat strength was less than half of the previous one. He looked at the relaxed and unimpressed expressions of these generals, and the magic mountain knew that this time he was going to suffer!
"Brothers, Luce Bolton fled and returned, during the time when we were harvesting grain downstream of the crossing, he had returned to the ferry, and sent scouts to send a letter asking for a decisive battle, I have already replied to the battle, this time it is a tough battle, only victory is not allowed to lose, who dares to take the lead?" said Magic Mountain slowly, his eyes swept over the generals.
"Charge the battle, of course, with heavy horses!, please be the vanguard!" said Sweet-Mouthed Raff grinning.
"I'd like to take the lead. Executioner Dunson stood up and shouted. His martial arts are what Magic Mountain admires the most, whether it is a spear, a spear or a sword, it is absolutely first-class.
"Cavalry archers are good at attacking from afar, and can crush the opponent without making contact with the infantry. "I would like to make a military order." “
Angai is also floating!
Two cavalry archers, two hundred bows only. The opponent's infantry archers were 3,000 men, and a salvo was 3,000 arrows.
It would be a suicide for any team to go into battle alone, and they all underestimated the strength of the soldiers of the North to regain their strength. The Magic Mountain had to admire that Luce Bolton really had a way, and persuaded the northern soldiers who had fled like a rout to come back again, and to openly fight the Magic Mountain at the Green Fork River crossing.
Win or lose, a decisive battle!
A decisive battle is a battle to the death! Victory or death!
10,000 'remnant troops' in the north fought to the death of 2,000 people in the Magic Mountain, and the Magic Mountain was not willing to lose money and make some shouting. Even if you win in the end, it will be a miserable victory, and your own capital will basically be exhausted!
Secretly, Luce Bolton must have prepared something good to greet the Magic Mountain, which the Magic Mountain knows well.
He knows Luce Burton!
Gorilla Roger stepped forward and shouted loudly to be the vanguard, he was going to lead the charge with the law enforcement team and a hundred heavy cavalry, and he swore that he would break through the enemy's line from the center.
The generals asked for battle, and all of them thought that the people of the north were a papier-mover species.
Magic Mountain said: "Brothers, our harvest in Yanchang Town is basically completed, and it is time to return, everyone listen to my orders, eat early tonight, we will attack at night, and the cavalry and infantry will go out together, and rush to the ferry before dawn to catch Lusboton by surprise." I personally led the heavy cavalry into battle. Brothers, we are going to defeat Luce Bolton in one fell swoop, and whoever can catch him will be knighted. If the knight catches him, he will be rewarded with great deeds. “
The generals were overjoyed, and they agreed violently, and their fighting spirits were high, and everyone thought that they could catch Luthbolton, and they all wanted to cut off the heads of the generals in the north and put them in the spears to show off, so they went to actively prepare.
In the evening, the Magic Mountain sent an order: the archers were on the left, led by Angai, and boarded the big ship on the left at the dock of Yanchang Town, and the heavy cavalry was on the right, and went to the port dock of Yanchang Town and boarded the big ship on the right. The infantry then got on the big and small boats in the middle, and everyone quickly marched to the boats, without making any noise. The law enforcement team Luo Erjie led a team of 100 people, and the fangs led the law enforcement team, which was responsible for escorting nearly 1,000 people to the plunder, waiting on the shore and finally getting on the boat.
The generals were ordered to come to the dock one after another. In the port, several huge merchant ships have been added, and I don't know where Lord Moshan found them, or if the merchant ships that were doing business on this route were temporarily requisitioned.
All the soldiers boarded the boat one after another, and they all secretly admired the Lord of the Demon Mountain for sending them up to the ferry by boat, so rowing all night, tired the sailors, but let the soldiers get a good rest, full of energy, and went ashore at dawn, and defeated the paper-mâché northerners in one fell swoop.
The estuary of Yanchang Town is Crab Bay, hundreds of ships of all sizes have been loaded with all the cavalry and infantry, and there are still law enforcement teams and broken hundred-man teams and more than a thousand people on the shore.
The magic mountain issued an order, and the soldiers rested on the ship, and the soldiers were not allowed to take off their armor, and the horses were not allowed to unload their saddles. So all the soldiers rested on the spot, recuperated and waited for the big battle after the night.
As the sky dawned, Angai woke up and walked up to the bow of the boat, and not far in front of him was the faint land. He was taken aback, and found that there was a wide sea of water on both sides of the water, and when he turned around, there was an endless sea behind him.
Angay was shocked, if he was sailing in the Trident River, it should be land on both the left and right. Beside him, hundreds of large and small ships were trying to sail, moving towards the black shadow of the land in front of him.
Overnight, they crossed Crab Bay?
Angai looked at the big ship in the center, and on the bow of the boat, Lord Moshan was also standing in the bow of the boat, looking at him condescendingly.
"Your Excellency!" shouted Angay, as he reached the nearest position.
The Magic Mountain raised his hand: "Centurion Angai, prepare for battle!"
Angai swallowed a mouthful of saliva and swallowed a lot of words that he wanted to ask: "Yes, my lord!"
Then, the land ahead began to become clearer, the sky was brighter, and the eyes could already see far away.
A huge castle appeared on the hill by the sea, and a huge harbor appeared, and in the harbor, the silhouette of a shadowy ship was revealed.
On the big ship of the Magic Mountain, the horn sounded: Woo woo woo! Woo woo
Where is it? Whose castle is it? Who are they attacking across Crab Bay? Angai didn't know! But one thing he did know was to blow the whistle and order his soldiers to get up and get ready for battle.
The big ship of the Magic Mountain was the first to rush into the strange port, and Angai saw the Magic Mountain jump onto another merchant ship, and drew his giant sword, the first sword, and cut a sailor who had not yet figured out the situation into two pieces!
The guards who followed the Demon Mountain jumped off the big ship one after another, their swords were bright, and they all threw themselves into the cabin of a big ship.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Angay ordered the sailors to row faster, and he took out his bow and arrows, only to see that Julie had jumped into another boat, sword in hand, and killed her.
Angay then carried his bow and arrows behind him, and the horse could not mount, so he jumped from the boat, jumped onto another large boat, and came met with a confused fellow: "What happened?" he asked. Angay held the sword in both hands, and the long sword slashed into the man's neck.
In half an hour, dozens of large merchant ships in the harbor were captured, the captains were escorted out, the sailors were escorted out in trousers, and the battle in the harbor ended.
Magic Mountain arranged for several large ships to return to the sea, and ordered the captured sailors to paddle and pick up Luo Erjie and the others to cross the Green Fork River back to the west bank of the river, instead of crossing Crab Bay to come here. Then, the Magic Mountain Giant Sword pointed to the castle not far away and said, "Brothers, follow me to take the castle." The soldiers agreed. Although they won a battle, most of them still didn't know where they were, but the only thing that was certain was that this was not the battlefield of the Green Fork River crossing. Their opponent is not Luce Burton either.
The battlefield carefully laid out by Luce Burton, the battlefield waiting for the magic mountain to drill into, was shamelessly released by the scum of the magic mountain. He had no count's honour or knightly bravery at all, and he wrote back to promise a decisive battle, leaving Luthbolton to wait, while his men crossed Crab Bay in the darkness of night and attacked another large town.
Across the Crab Bay from the Salt Farm, this huge town, called Nüquan Town, was the domain of the Muton family.
Nüquan Town is a major port and trading center in Crab Bay, which is several times larger and more prosperous than Yanchang Town, and naturally has a population several times larger.
The town of Salt Farm is dominated by salt and has little trade with the other side of the Narrow Sea, while Nüquan Town is a super town in the easternmost part of the Divine Eye Lake and the easternmost territory of the Tuli family in the Riverland. Facing the narrow sea, the summer flowers are blooming.
Earl Murton obeyed the call of the lord Tully and led a team of seven hundred to Riverrun, and there were not many guards in Nuquan Town, only three hundreds.
However, the town of Nuquan was built with a high wall, and the whole town was protected by the wall, and although the stone wall was very strong, it was a pity that the wall was not a city wall. When the nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Magic Mountain rushed from the dock like ants to Nüquan Town, the alarmed soldiers were stunned on the wall of Nüquan Town.
And all of a sudden, where did so many enemies come from?
Woooo
On the wall of Nüquan Town, the horn of the enemy attack was sounded.
The whole town was still asleep, because in the harbor, there were many large merchant ships coming and going, and the sound of horns was varied, and it sounded every day, and everyone was accustomed to it. Moreover, the war was thousands of miles away in Riverrun, and the town of Nuquan had not had any fighting for seventeen years.
The sound of the trumpets of the enemy attack, except for the soldiers, the people of the whole town have forgotten. Everyone's alertness was low, and they were immune to the sound of the trumpets of the enemy's attack.
Most of the people of Nuquan were indifferent, but the soldiers guarding the town were all alarmed, and they quickly gathered and came to the wall, and then they saw the soldiers who came to attack like ants, led by tall and burly, like a giant.
The three centurions were suffocated: there were too many enemies, densely packed, several times more than theirs. And their wall is a wall, although it is three meters high, it is not a city wall, there is no need for siege equipment, there is no need for stairs, and the wall is more than ten miles long, and any place can be climbed by the enemy.
"Archer, prepare!" shouted one centurion, drawing his sword.
So, the trembling 300 people drew their bows and arrows one after another, looked up to the sky, and prepared to hang and shoot!
Sou!
An arrow flew right in the centurion's throat, and he fell with his sword, striking the stone outside the wall.
The other two centurions looked at each other in horror.
At such a distance, such a magic arrow, they had never heard of it.
Sou!
Another arrow flew and struck the other centurion in the chest, and the centurion staggered to his knees, and the long arrow pierced through his armor and struck him in the heart, and he fell to his knees and curled, and was already dead.
The third centurion was so frightened that he bowed down to dodge and did not dare to show up, and the fighting spirit of the three hundred soldiers melted away like thin snow in the sun, and they all put down their bows and arrows, and their faces were confused and mixed with panic.
"Brothers in Nuquan Town, I am the Magic Mountain. Open the gate and surrender, there will be no killing, and if you resist stubbornly, you will be hanged!"
The sound of the magic mountain was like a huge thunder, more effective than the sound of the soldiers' attack horns, not only shocked the three hundred soldiers, but also shocked the sweet dreams of the people of the town.
I am the Magic Mountain!I am the Magic Mountain!I am the Magic Mountain!
What could be more feared than that name?
Without!
The cavalry of the Magic Mountain all turned into infantry, because the terrain was not flat, the oak shield he held in his hand was like a door panel, and the soldiers around him, after running into the firing range, all raised their round shields.
The round shield and long sword, but it did not hinder the running speed of the gang, which made the soldiers on the wall unbelievable. They could not run like this with their shields in their hands. They can't.
The Muton soldiers did not fire a single arrow, and the magic mountain led his guards to the gate of the wall, with a loud roar, the magic mountain raised a heavy oak shield like a door panel and slammed the gate, boom, the door latch of the gate broke, the second time, the gate shattered, the magic mountain rushed in, stood still, like the god of war, the guards around him poured into the town like a tide.
"Brothers, lay down your weapons, I don't want to kill you and your wives and children!" Demon Mountain shouted, his voice rolling over Nuquan Town like rolling thunder, his giant sword pointed at the soldiers on the wall. Even if he was standing on the ground, he could swing his greatsword and cut off the heads of the soldiers on the wall.
The only centurion glanced at his comrade, who had been killed, and he dropped his sword and shield and raised his hands alof. The soldiers threw down their bows, arrows, knives and guns and raised their hands alof.
The huge Nuquan Town soldiers are bloodless, take it!
And the highest magnate in the town of Nuquan is the daughter of Earl Murton, Elano Muton, she is the eldest daughter and heir of Earl Murton, and is unmarried.
Elan Nomuton, one of the main targets of the Magic Mountain this time.
