Chapter 061: Capturing Budavis
When the shadow of war completely overshadowed the once commercial capital, the prosperous city of Budavis lost its former glory. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net
The fat aristocrats, the merchants with a lot of money, and the commoners who once toiled here have long since disappeared.
The once crowded streets of Budavis City are now patrolled by teams of grim-faced knights.
The night wind crashed mercilessly against the lonely city walls, whining and whistling.
Marquis Axuan looked up at the starry sky thoughtfully.
At present, the army of the Elephant Nation is in full swing, not only successfully occupying the city of Budavis, but also firmly controlling many cities except Ironhoof City.
Marquis Axuan kept thinking about how to gain a firm foothold and completely digest the annexed land and people after he occupied the land of Da Yu in the future.
At this time, a herald came to the Marquis of Axuan, but the Marquis of Axuan did not notice or care at all that there was a trembling herald standing beside him, and continued to look at the stars and think deeply.
The momentum of the high-ranking person made the herald under this identity dare not make a mistake, so he could only poke aside and wait silently.
After a long time, Marquis Ah Xuan glanced at the herald behind him, and asked unhappily, "Hmph! What's the matter?
The herald heard the marquis's summons and was about to speak, but he didn't know how to describe what he wanted to say, so he hesitated again and again, stiffened his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Marquis, it's not good! Something is wrong! The army on the expedition encountered a meteorite rain, and the whole army died in the meteorite rain, and no one survived!" After speaking, the herald knelt on the ground, his head hit the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
Marquis Ah Xuan looked at the herald in disbelief, as if he was telling a ridiculous joke!
Marquis Axuan said loudly: "What did you say? Say it again!"
The herald trembled even more, and even his tone became sharper: "Lord Marquis!
Marquis A Xuan suddenly saw the Venus in front of him, and he could no longer stand steadily, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, and the guards and servants around him stepped forward to help.
Marquis Axuan shook off the hands of the people around him who came to support him, and shouted: "Get out! Get out of here! Get out of here! Quick! Guards! Everyone within 100 meters of the surrounding area is emptied, and all the lieutenants are summoned!
The guards around him hurried to find the lieutenant generals.
Marquis Axuan sat alone in the empty hall, pulling his hair with both hands, and muttered like a madman: "Impossible! Impossible! Why did you encounter a meteor shower? What kind of meteor shower did you encounter? An army of tens of thousands of people was wiped out like this? What should I do? What should I do? Goddess of Life! I pray to you, I beg you to send down the gospel! Tell me what to do?"
After trying to get his heartbeat back to normal, Marquis Ah Xuan slowly calmed down and began to think about countermeasures.
Yes, I still have troops, and I am not finished yet! As long as I lead the rest of my troops to fight the opponent in a decisive battle in the field, there will still be a glimmer of hope! As long as I defeat the opponent's strength and leave Budavis to continue to develop my strength, I will still be able to slowly recover my vitality!
Ah Xuan can't imagine what will happen after defeat, once the expedition fails, after returning to the royal capital, what awaits him is exile or imprisonment! Those political enemies hidden in the dark will also take advantage of this opportunity to fall into the ground, and even affect their own family and uproot their own family!
As the night deepened, and the slightest chill hit, Marquis Xuan shivered, and after pulling the cloak from the hanger and wrapping it around his body, the Marquis yelled: "It's been so long, why haven't they come yet?
The guards beside him were so frightened that they stammered, and replied: "Lord Marquis, please wait a little longer, most of the lieutenants have already rested, and it may take some time to get dressed!"
Marquis Axuan yelled hysterically: "Bastard, what are you eating? Go! Urge me! Chase these pigs' heads over! Who dares to come late, I will pick his skin!"
The guard was so frightened that he rushed out, his little heart was about to explode at this moment, who knows if the marquis would cut himself in anger at this moment!
Finally, the lieutenants rubbed their sleepy eyes one after another, and began to come to the conference hall one after another.
Marquis Axuan tried his best to look like a normal person, tried to restrain the anger and depression in his heart, and said to everyone: "I believe that the people sitting in front of me now are finally the old men of my family, and now I announce one thing, I hope that everyone will not be surprised after hearing this, and act according to my next plan." See 1 Mao 2 Line 3 Chinese Network"
Everyone, look at me, I look at you, you are very puzzled, why is the Marquis so abnormal today? What is the big incident? It can't be the defeat of the army, right?
In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Marquis A Xuan said with difficulty: "The army sent to Iron Hoof City encountered a meteorite rain and the whole army was wiped out!"
Suddenly, everyone seemed to be cursed by unknown evil magic, and at the same time, their faces were full of disbelief.
Marquis A Xuan leaned forward, crossed his hands in front of his nose, and shot a cold gaze in his eyes, constantly sweeping over the faces of the generals, observing their expressions, at this time, if there is a capricious person among the generals, he will kill him immediately, this kind of crisis moment, there must be no unstable factors!
Sure enough, two of them began to look around, obviously thinking about a way out.
Marquis Axuan remembered these two people, remained silent, and then continued: "Next, let's talk about the new deployment, everyone will concentrate the property and food of the surrounding cities in Budavis first, and then concentrate the military forces here, and give you 2 days to complete the task. Then the whole army will assemble and attack Ironhoof City!"
After everyone shouted in unison to obey the order, they dispersed one after another, but Marquis A Xuan immediately summoned 200 elite wolf knights to assassinate the two lieutenants he had just written.
Three days later, the army had completed its buildup, leaving an empty city to slaughter at Ironhoof.
Let's talk about George, who was in a coma before.
After waking up, George found that he was seriously injured, and some of his internal organs had received a severe concussion, although he had improved slightly after Tina's emergency treatment, his head was dizzy for a while, and he always felt that his throat was sweet, as if there would be a large mouthful of blood spit out of his mouth in the next moment.
George shouted in a weak voice, "Tina, where are you?"
At this time, the tiger head heard George's call, and hurriedly walked to George's side and reported back: "Lord George, Sister Tina has gone to avenge you! Let me lead the soldiers here to protect you!"
George was surprised, "Revenge, revenge, where is Tina?"
Tiger Head honestly reported the previous situation.
George closed his eyes gloomily, as if he had guessed something, and began to silently release the life salute to continue to recover from his injuries.
The next morning, George's body was largely back to normal, with a slight paleness except for heavy blood loss.
George was on the city wall, and saw Tina riding a war horse for a long time, and behind Tina there was a war horse, and the war horse carried layers of linen wrapped divine artillery on its back.
George hurriedly walked down the city, waiting for Tina, who was returning, and after seeing Tina, George put his arm around Tina's shoulder with one hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Tina also grabbed George's arm with her hand and asked worriedly, "Brother, you scared me to death, those bastards of the Giant Elephant Country!
George snorted and said, "What is this kind of injury! You forgot that I didn't die when I rolled down the mountain road!"
Tina suddenly thought of the troubles of the past, and smiled awkwardly: "Brother, fortunately you still remember! You were different from now, you just shouted for help at that time!"
George put one arm on Tina's shoulder, and said heartily, "Let's go! Eat well! As soon as you talk about that past, I can't help but feel hungry!" Without mentioning the matter of the artillery, he and Tina both returned.
In fact, George is very mindful of the leakage of the power of the God Cannon, if it is noticed by some powerful force, with his current strength, it may not be enough for others to kick it, so being a low-key person is the current theme, but Tina is the closest person to him, and he doesn't want to blame her for this matter, so let this matter pass.
After a few days of recuperation, George received news that the Budavis' army was coming.
After receiving the news, George realized that the other party was about to start a decisive battle with him, so he frequently sent sentry agents to inquire about the other party's situation.
However, the opponent's strength this time surprised George, the opponent's troops only had 2,000 giant wolf knights, 6,000 cavalry, and 7,000 infantry. This kind of lineup is here to send experience? Isn't there some ambush or backhand?
But soon after, George received a letter of war from the messenger of the other side! Count Axuan asked himself to start a decisive battle outside the city!
What is the situation?, George thought to himself, it was time for Gurus to arrive with his pikemen.
As a result, George formally replied to the messenger that he was willing to fight Count Axuan outside the city.
After the Courier returned, George released the pigeon in the direction of Amesvalon.
Five days later, George launched a formation on a hill outside Ironhoof City, with 1,500 longbowmen in the center, and 5,000 infantry guarding the longbowmen on the periphery of the longbowmen, and the spearmen on the perimeter of the infantry.
Tina led 1,500 light cavalry and 1,500 archers in an ambush.
It was a very dry day, the sun in the sky scorched the earth, and only the occasional breeze passing through the wilderness kicked up the dust, which made these tiny dusts dance slowly in the silent sky.
A grain of sand slammed into the armor of a giant elephant knight with a faint tinkling sound...
Ah Xuan looked at the hill opposite, and it was hard to believe that there was such a talent in the country of Da Yu, where talents were withering.
How long has it been since the war between the two countries that those lowly civilians can be turned into well-trained, cold and bloodthirsty warriors!
The neat formation and meticulous cooperation of the troops made Ah Xuan constantly admire, what a rare general!
If such a general can be used for his own use, then he will only be able to defeat the king of Da Yu overnight, but unfortunately he is his enemy!
Today's Giant Elephant troops no longer have archers, only a large number of cavalry.
There was no choice, Ah Xuan gritted his teeth and said: "The cavalry form a triangular charge formation! Attack! The infantry follows the cavalry charge!" After the words fell, the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom let out a roar like a mountain and a tsunami!
George didn't care about the enemy army coming from the mountains and tsunami, and what could determine the victory of a battle was not the soldier's roar like killing a pig, but the soldier's will to fight and the general's command ability.
In several battles with the Giant Elephant Kingdom, George felt that the opponent was well-armed and well-armed, and the wolf knight was the elite of the elite, but the command ability of the general was mediocre.
If it had been Gurus in command of this unit, he would have been beaten up a long time ago.
Seeing that the opposing cavalry was within range of the longbowmen, George issued an order for the longbowmen to shoot alternately.
The knights who rushed over from the Giant Elephant Country fell one after another, and the formation began to be chaotic, and their own people trampled on each other.
The knights who rushed through the range of the feathered arrows were stabbed off their horses by the spearmen's alternate assassinations.
Ah Xuan has always been very puzzled, how the opposing infantry defeated his cavalry troops, after seeing the opponent's airtight tactics, Ah Xuan seemed to see the new continent, it turned out that the infantry could restrain the cavalry...
Seeing that the opponent's archers began to move in the direction of his charge, and the flanks began to appear empty, Ah Xuan ordered the wolf cavalry to dispatch and attack the opponent's flank.
Seeing that the wolf knight on the other side had finally moved, George did not rush to mobilize the longbowmen to defend, but began to whistle and signal Tina, who was secretly in ambush, to start a sneak attack.
The timing was just right, and the giant wolf knight attacked the front of the formation, killed through the spear formation, and began to attack the infantry defense formation.
Tina, on the other hand, led the archers to launch a surprise attack from behind the wolf knight.
The wolf knight troops were suddenly bitten back and forth, and retreating was not a retreat, if it weren't for the wolf knight's advantage of moving at high speed, then this wave of ambush was enough to kill them!
George fired a flame bomb into the air at this time, and the shining light made Ah Xuan's heart jump! Ah Xuan secretly wondered, could this kid still have a backhand?
The answer was very obvious, Ah Xuan felt a deafening sound of horses' hooves coming from the flank of his own formation, which was a precursor to a cavalry raid!
Marquis Axuan immediately sent a letter calling for the giant wolf knight to return, but the giant wolf knight was bitten to death and could not withdraw for a while.
Seeing the silver-armored knights with spears gradually emerging on the ground in the distance, Ah Xuan closed his eyes and said to himself in pain: "Lost!"
Ignoring the subordinates who were fighting on the battlefield and the cavalry troops who were fighting bloodily, Ah Xuan flew away on a giant wolf.
And all the generals around him also began to run away, riding wolves, riding wolves, riding horses! I only hate why my horse doesn't have a single leg!
In the battlefield, except for 1,000 giant wolf knights and some ownerless giant wolves who escaped, all other troops were annihilated.
George ordered the pikemen who had come to the aid to escort them back to Ammesvalon with the captured soldiers, captured supplies, armor and weapons.
At this time, Gurus came to George wearing neat armor, and said with a serious expression: "Lord George, Gurus has come to report to me, I have completed all the tasks according to your orders, and now I am at your disposal, and the task of escorting the items back will be handed over to me!"
George looked at the former general of the forbidden army of the Da Yu State, during this time, due to the food to keep up, Gurus was no longer the haggard appearance before, and returned to his previous lean appearance.
George smiled and said, "Old man, look at your polite appearance, see outside!"
Gurus smiled awkwardly, "Who called you a duke, I'm white now, I can't trespass!" he put on a signature serious expression, as if he was a knight beside George.
George said: "I have an important matter to hand over to you now, and this matter is only for you to do, and I can rest easy!"
Gurus asked with a puzzled expression, "My lord, what is the matter? Do you have to do it for me? You won't want to cut off my head and send it to the royal capital?"
George smiled: "You old man still doesn't believe me, let's go back to the city and I'll tell you in detail." ”
Upon his return to the Farrier, George drafted a letter of appointment in the council hall, appointing Gurus as the governor of the city of Budavis, and canonizing him as a count.
George handed the letter of appointment to Gurus and said, "Gurus, your leadership and military skills are something I have always admired, and this time, I give you the right to be a governor and let you guard Budavis. Later, I will arrange some government talents for you, so that you can control this area more stably, and I hope that in the future, you will return to me a strong iron army! If you don't have enough food or other things are short, fly pigeons to send me a message, and I will send someone to send it to you. ”
After hearing George's arrangement, Gurus froze in place, then looked at George in surprise and asked, "Lord George, don't make fun of my old man, how can I hold such a position?"
George slammed his fist on Gurus's shoulder, pretending to be angry and asked, "What's the matter, old man, are you still too young?"
Gurus hurriedly knelt down on one leg and saluted solemnly: "Lord George! I can't believe that you are going to entrust me with such an important matter! I.... ”
George helped Gurus up and said: "Old man, don't shirk, change anyone! I will not give him such an important task, but you are different, you have this strength, I believe that your ability is not just as simple as being a general of the forbidden army! No one understands your talent, and I can only rest assured that Budavis will be handed over to you! And your loyalty to the royal family back then made me believe that you would never do anything rebellious, but unfortunately, the royal family abandoned a talent like you, but I won't!"
Tears welled up in Gurus's eyes, and he once again knelt down on one knee and solemnly gave a military salute, and then solemnly accepted the letter of appointment from George's hand. At this point, Gurus was completely integrated into George's camp.
After George had explained everything, he and Tina returned to Ammesvalon.
Gulus led his troops to occupy Budavis and became the new governor of Budavis, and with Gurus's ability to govern the seven cities centered on Budavis, Gurus had the ability and confidence to make this place a strong barrier.
In the end, there was one thing that Gurus had to do!
Come on! Go find all the bastards who bullied me in Ironhoof! I'm going to pluck their skins!!
