Chapter 50: A Tacit Understanding of Coincidences (Part II)
At this time, Srock finally realized one thing, and that was that he was too indecisive.
This is why Srock obviously feels that he is obviously stronger than Eliel in terms of military theory and battle formation tactics, but he always falls behind when fighting him.
He was too calm in the face of war, but where there is a 100% victory in the war, and how many great victories are won by fighting to the death and fighting against all odds.
Slok knew that he had fought a lot of battles, whether it was the previous conflict with the Borren Empire or today's war with the Erne Empire, every time he fought with the other party with absolute superiority.
If the army is in an advantageous situation, his steady and steady personality is more conducive to the victory of the Tarun army at the minimum cost, which is why he used his troops like a god before.
But now the situation is different, an officer like Elier who climbed up from the bottom has never seen any battles. When Eliel uses a stratagem to break Srock's advantage, Srock falls into a state of self-doubt and unconfidence.
"Fight, I'll take a gamble this time, I bet that you Elier has no reason to set such a trap to confuse me, so this is not a trap, but an opportunity!", thinking of this, Srock finally made up his mind.
As night fell for the second time, Srock once again led his army out of the woods, though still very careful, but it was long since the same grass and trees as yesterday.
Arriving under the walls, although the soldiers defending the city were not drinking this time, the defenses on the walls were still loose, and it was difficult to associate it with a heavily guarded fortress.
Even when the Talon advance troops' climbing hooks were hung on the edge of the city walls, the guards of the Tenio fortress were unaware of them.
As you can imagine, Talen's advance force successfully climbed the city wall, and for a short time the city wall was temporarily controlled, and at this time, one by one, the siege ladders climbed up to the city tower from top to bottom.
A large number of Talon's troops swarmed up, and it took only a dozen siege ladders to easily get thousands of troops up the walls.
The towers then collapsed, and more and more Talons flooded the walls.
Then, in a short period of time, the swarming Talon quickly eliminated the hundreds of soldiers guarding the city gate and gained the dominance of the city gate. Then, the city gates were opened, and the shouts of killing instantly filled the entire Tenio Fortress.
When the noble generals in the city realized that something was wrong, they quickly organized their defenses, set up checkpoints along the way, lined up their troops, and used all the means at their disposal anyway.
Although these generals usually seem weak and incompetent, at the moment of life and death, they can be regarded as exhausting what they have learned in their lives, which has greatly hindered the Tarun army that rushed into the city.
Of course, it is only an obstacle, after losing the obstacle of the tall city wall, in the face of a huge gap in numbers, it is not something that can be saved by the art of war books.
It's still the same old saying, in the face of absolute strength, all the bells and whistles are just bells and whistles.
"What's going on, didn't it mean that the Talons had been defeated by General Elier?", Lord Wright looked at the commotion outside, pulled up the intelligence officer next to him, and said angrily.
"I don't know, but what I can get from General Elier is... That's right. Looking at the lord's angry look, the intelligence officer said with some trembling.
"Rubbish!", Wright threw away the intelligence officer next to him with one hand, and then looked at the general in charge of the war and said, "What's going on in the city now?"
"Unfortunately, because the enemy was attacking at night, the gates were occupied by the enemy in a very short time. The Talon army outside the city must have swarmed by now, and I estimate that there are no less than 200,000 horses. The general replied tremblingly, for fear that he would meet the same fate as the intelligence officer.
To his surprise, instead of reproaching him, Lord Wright put one hand on his shoulder and comforted him, which really flattered him and was at a loss for a moment.
"Go ahead, I'm sure you'll be able to hold this place. Don't forget, there is a family you love here, and there is a homeland where you have lived for countless years, can you bear to let them be trampled on by the Tarons?"
Lord Wright's words inspired every soldier present, yes, behind their backs their loved ones, lovers, friends, each one of whom was worthy of their protection.
"Kill!", the deafening shout of killing echoed throughout the Tenio Fortress, and the soldiers of the two armies fought together in an instant.
No matter what they've done in the past, and no matter what people will say about them in the future, at least for now they're heroes to all. A group of warriors fighting for their homeland, win or lose, they are heroes!
While all the soldiers had rushed into the enemy positions, Lord Wright arrived at Teneo's grain depot with a few hundred of his henchmen.
The battle lasted until dawn the next day, and although the soldiers in the city fought bravely, they finally came to the end of the road in the face of the absolute disparity in strength.
Looking at the pool of blood under the city, Srock felt a little unreal.
He couldn't have dreamed that the Tenio Fortress, which had once kept his 400,000 troops outside the city walls, had been defeated by dozens of siege ladders, and it was a joke.
It's just that at this moment, Slok has no time to be excited about his victory, and now what is bothering Slok is the food problem. If the food problem is not solved, it will be meaningless for him to occupy this city.
"Damn bastard, it's despicable and shameless to burn the food in the city. Remembering last night's incident, Srock involuntarily scolded.
Last night, when Srock had basically taken over most of the city, he had basically gained absolute control of the city.
At this time, finding the granary and taking it for himself became Slok's top priority, after all, Slok had only brought a few days of food with him when he raided Tenio Fortress.
And the consumption of these few days has caused the Tarun army to basically run out of food at this moment, so after Slok determined the dominance of the city, he immediately began to look for the granary.
Then he met the most helpless picture he had ever seen in his life.
"Do you want all this food?", the man named Wright looked at him with a ruffian, holding the torch as if he were now alone surrounding Slock's entire army.
"Say, whatever you want, power status or money beauty, I can satisfy you. Slok's haughty posture of a victor is unmistakable.
"I'm tired of playing with these things. The man named Wright was still unmoved, and said disdainfully.
"And what do you want?", Srock said, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"Call Daddy, and I'll give it all to you, good son!", Wright said jokingly.
"You're looking for death!", said Slok as he rushed forward.
"Remember, your father's name is Wright!", said the man, leaping into the fire before the sword shadow approached.
There was no more Lord Wright in the world.
