Chapter 240: Battle Song of Ice and Fire (1) Flame of Vengeance
Compared with the mildness of the battle on the Western Front, Yelon on the Eastern Front was particularly brutal.
Although Yelon was a general in the northern kingdom before, he never achieved his ambition in the northern kingdom for many years, and finally became a general, and finally lost his military position.
In Yelon's subconscious, there is a certain element of hatred for the nobles at all levels in the northern kingdom, and if it weren't for those nobles who were jealous of their abilities, they would have come out a long time ago.
There are two methods of Yelon, the first is to capture the city and do nothing, arrest all the nobles, kill them all, and confiscate all the family property.
The second method is to confiscate the property of the nobles first, and then exile all the previous nobles.
When the army attacked Mercury City, all the nobles were frightened by Yelon's methods, and all of them obediently called out all their possessions and waited to be exiled by Yelon.
The defenders of the city were even more taboo about Yelon's methods, and Yelon's reputation for murder would not hesitate to slaughter all the defending troops as long as they captured a city.
Another reason why Yelon was able to destroy the city so smoothly this time was that Bugari led 200 war elephants to stay in Yelon's army, and when they attacked Mercury City, the sight of the war elephants destroying the city gate frightened everyone.
Behind the Mercury City is the Golden Dome City, once the capital of the Black Diamond Kingdom, and now the Golden Dome City has become a military center of the Drifting Snow Country.
Guarding the Golden Dome City is the Snow Country General Yegolov, Yegorov once worked with Aliksai, and has a better understanding of the military power of the Crescent Country, and then Aliksai died in the pinnacle competition, Yegorov became one of the important generals guarding the Nugget City, and then Yegorov made a lot of contributions and was sent to the Golden Dome City as the governor.
For the army of the Crescent Country, Yegorov is not very worried, after all, the Golden Dome City is unusually strong, and he has been operating the sufficient amount of grain and grass stored here in the Golden Dome City for many years, and he is not worried at all, but Yegorov knows in his heart that the army of the Crescent Country has many cavalry, and often uses the advantage of cavalry to surprise the rear of the enemy.
In order to prevent the surprise attack of the Crescent cavalry, Yegorov organized many elite troops to guard many cities in the rear, and only with these troops guarding the rear, it was difficult for the troops of the Crescent Country to harass him.
After Yelon led his army to the Golden Dome City, he looked at the city wall above the Golden Dome with contempt...
"Lord Bugari, I am going to directly dispatch the war elephant troops to storm the Golden Dome City, and at the same time use the slingering troops to throw boulders to suppress the opponent's giant crossbowmen, and then use the strong crossbowmen to press on them, and after the city wall is breached, I will directly send cavalry to attack!"
"Duke Yeron, although I can lead the war elephant troops to break through the opponent's wall in the shortest possible time, the army in the rear will inevitably suffer losses when it passes... β
"Lord Bugri, you don't have to worry at all, the soldier's mission is to shed blood and sacrifice for the country, and in this battle, the bloodier we fight, the more afraid the northerners will be, as long as the other party is afraid, then the battle will be easier and easier to fight!"
"Yeron, well, I've heard about you before,,, and to be honest, I can't accept your approach, but I have to admit that only you can stabilize the situation in the south. Okay! No nonsense, I'm going to lead the war elephant troops to attack now!"
Yegorov stood at the head of the city and suddenly felt the earth begin to tremble... Yegorov was shocked... It can't be a war elephant, right?
Yegolov is a veteran of the battlefield, of course he knows the power of war elephants, but since the fall of the southern kingdom, he has not seen a war elephant army for many years, in the last war with the Crescent Country, nearly 200 war elephants were killed, Yegorov thinks that this is the limit of the Crescent Country, I didn't expect that there are still so many war elephants!
"Lord Governor, no, our ranged weapons must have no way to fight the war elephants. If these behemoths are allowed to approach the city walls, I am afraid that the walls will collapse... β
"Let's get down quickly, let the giant crossbowmen on the arrow tower fire the giant crossbow, and see if the giant crossbow can work!"
Yegolov led a group of generals to the city walls to command, first using a giant crossbow and trebuchet in the hope of stopping the opponent, but found that these things were completely useless.
Ever since George strengthened the armor of the war elephant, even high-level magic could block it, let alone a giant crossbow.
After approaching the city wall, the war elephant began to trample on the city wall, how could the city wall stop these behemoths, and after being destroyed for a while, cracks began to appear...
"Your Excellency, what should we do? We can't stop these beasts!"
"Are there a lot of cavalry in the rear of the Crescent Country?"
"Yes, Lord Governor, there are many crossbowmen behind the war elephants, followed by a large group of cavalry. β
"It seems that we have to take the risk of rushing outside the city, the other party must not have imagined that we would charge in such a situation, we will surprise the opponent's crossbowman position, as long as we block the opponent's crossbowmen, then we can use the cavalry and the opponent's cavalry to fight hard, when the time comes, no one is allowed to know what will happen at that time!"
"Governor, isn't that a bit too risky?"
"If we don't take the risk, when the army of the Crescent Kingdom occupies the city walls and arrow towers, then we will have no chance at all if we want to charge!
Yelon suddenly discovered something interesting, the other party didn't stay in the city well, and actually dared to lead his troops to rush out?
Heavy thunder exploded, countless cavalry rushed out, rushing towards the strong crossbowmen position of the Crescent Moon Country, Yelon shot arrows into the air, and many long men appeared in the position, blocking the front of the strong crossbowmen.
A cold light shot out of Yegolov's eyes... Do you want to use infantry to fight against cavalry? Then let the Crescent Kingdom experience the horror of the cavalry of the Northern Kingdom! The cavalry that you led by yourself is not the cavalry of the Northern Kingdom back then!
While charging, Yegorov took off the crossbow on the side of his horse, aimed at the Changge, and began to shoot accurately.
Yelon smiled when he saw the other party's cleverness... It seems that this northern general is still a little capable, but what can he do?
Suddenly, Yegorov noticed that countless pieces of rubble were falling from above, and soldiers were constantly falling from their horses, and it turned out that the other party used trebuchets to fan out many types of stones from low altitudes.
The cavalry around Yegolov continued to fall off their horses, and by the time they attacked the positions of the opponent's crossbowmen, there was not much left.
And the Changge soldiers in front of the crossbowmen, who happened to restrain the cavalry, began to hook Yegolov's knights off their horses continuously.
Yegorov suddenly cast his magic, emptied the surrounding area, and then galloped away without thinking about it.
Everybody is stupid... What happened? What just happened? The Lord fled???
Yegorov knew in his heart that in fact, there was no suspense about the victory or defeat of this battle, as long as the war elephant broke the city, the Golden Dome City would be lost immediately...
And the cavalry of the Crescent Country, not only the elite knights are abnormal, but the quality of the war horses is also better than the war horses of their own cavalry, and in the end they will still be defeated, and now they are still too late to escape while the other party is not surrounding them, and it is impossible for the other party to give up the results of the battle and send troops to chase them alone...
Yelon didn't know that it was the supreme commander of the Golden Dome who fled at this time, and after watching Yegorov escape, Yelon didn't care... Let's go... There's nothing big about it...
After Yegorov fled, the troops of the Golden Dome were taken over by the adjutant general, and the army began to shrink its defenses and continue to hold out.
"Your Excellency, let us run away now! The Governor is gone... β
"Hmph, think beautifully! Look at the current situation, just now the Governor broke through the blockade of Lierao, so he was able to escape easily, and now that the enemy formation is closed, there is no difference between breaking through and dying now... Only by relying on the current defense can there be a glimmer of life... β
Bulgari rode the most majestic war elephant, and when Bulgari saw a crack in the city wall, she fired a fire bomb at the crack, and the explosion made the crack even bigger!
"General, the walls are about to collapse!
Before the words fell, the city wall began to collapse, and a large number of soldiers guarding the city wall fell to the ground...
Bulgari roared loudly, commanding the war elephant troops to take shelter for the time being, to avoid being accidentally injured by the city wall, and after waiting for the wall to fall, he began to direct the war elephant troops to continue to attack the city.
In front of the huge war elephants, everything was like a bunch of papier-mΓ’chΓ©, crushed by the war elephant troops.
The crossbowmen occupied the arrow tower and the commanding heights, and the army of the Snowdrifter was completely suppressed.
"Lord Bugari, Lord Duke, please withdraw your troops for the time being. β
"Well, it's time for the war elephant troops to rest, it took a lot of effort to destroy the city wall just now!"
After Yelon led his army into the city, the army of the Drifting Snow Country had completely lost the ability to resist and began to drop their weapons and surrender.
Yelon glanced at the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Do you want to surrender? Do you think I, Yelon, will take in the captives?"
With a wave of Yelon's hand, all the soldiers under his command showed a bloodthirsty smile,,, from the time the young Yelon led the army to sweep through the south, Yelon's soldiers knew that Yelon never kept prisoners, and Yelon's soldiers also developed bloodthirsty habits and became cruel and ruthless.
At this time, the army of the Drifting Snow Country realized what it was like to be like a wolf and a tiger... Don't let me surrender!
The soldiers of the Drifting Snow Country began to pick up their weapons again, but found that whether they took the weapons or not, the results were almost the same, the soldiers of the Crescent Country were very good at fighting, and they seemed to be monsters who did not know pain! Even if they were cut and injured, they were not afraid or retreated, and still stepped forward to fight.
By this time, Bulgari had changed into a war horse and was at Yelon's side.
"Duke Yelon, your soldiers are so strange! Why are they all bloodthirsty?"
"Hmph,,, since I led the army, the army I led will go through rigorous training, and now these people are still fortune-telling... The troops I trained before were the real tiger and wolf divisions, but I was afraid of His Majesty's blame, so I lowered the standard of training greatly!"
"Duke Yeron, Amesvalon has been rumored to have a casualty rate of almost 5 percent when you trained your troops,,, it seems that this is not those civilian officials smearing you, it is actually true... Didn't anyone resist?"
Yelon laughed... A slap of the war horse rushed out.
"Lord Bugari, let's go, it seems that the Golden Dome City has been taken, and the northerners can't help but fight, now, let's go and pack up the belongings left by the northerners for us, and see how many good things have been left for us!"
A few days later, Bugri finally saw what horror is...
Yelon began to brutally kill the nobles, and forced everyone to do the heavy work, as long as the slightest complaint was brutally killed, and as long as they could work or produce according to Yelon's requirements, they would get more resources...
Bulgari saw that the Golden Dome City quickly recovered from its wounds at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to belong to the new law, and quickly became a believer in the Crescent Country...
"Lord Yelon,,, all the previous reports have not written down your methods clearly, and I have seen it myself now that I understand why the south is so obediently ruled by you... β
"Lord Bugari, in fact, the people here are much better than in the south, their ability to accept and adapt is very fast! If you are in the south, if you don't kill him 1,800 people, those nobles will not give up, the nobles here are very sensible, they have already attached to the new law, and can quickly integrate... It seems that the quality of Rao here is much higher than that in the south. β
Although Bulgari was also a native of the South, she had to be, the former Southland was too difficult to manage, full of unruly aristocrats, and the people were extremely selfish, not caring about the prosperity of the country at all, only caring about the interests in their own hands, even if they were brothers and sisters, they often calculated each other...
"Alright, Duke Yelon, since we have taken the Golden Dome City, where will we attack the next city?"
"Lord Bugri, in fact, in terms of our strength, as long as the other party does not send tank troops, we are almost invincible, I think we can gradually occupy the surrounding cities, take all the land that the Black Diamond Kingdom once had, and then wait for Your Majesty's new instructions... β
"Yelon, everyone has impeached you for being good at making claims, and the tail is too big! It seems that you are really bold, you actually dare to make your own decisions, and change George's order to attack the northern country to occupy the land of the northern country... β
Yelon laughed and said: "Lord Bulgari, Your Majesty's main strategic intention is actually to disperse the main forces of the Northern Kingdom, and then dispatch elite surprise attacks, I think that as long as we conscientiously implement Your Majesty's will and achieve the purpose of dispersing the opponent's forces, now that we occupy the land of the Northern Kingdom on a large scale, then for the Northern Kingdom, we will definitely send a large army to counterattack, at that time, a large number of troops in the Northern Kingdom will be attracted by me, so that my side will be able to complete Your Majesty's task excellently... β
Bugari shook her head,,, Du Yelon's strategic endowment is on par with George, and now it seems that this is indeed the case,,, although Yelon is not as good as George in terms of layout and creativity, but in other aspects it is more ruthless and vicious than George!
Boogri looked at the far north,,, fire of revenge gradually ignited in his heart... Terina, the land you have fought hard for so many years, I Bugari will give you all to take back today... What kind of experience is it to watch years of hard work come to naught,,, what kind of experience is it...
