Chapter 104: Rebellion in the North (6) Defeat

Perhaps because of the proximity to the north, the weather near Nuggets City is getting colder and colder, and the soldiers camped in the field are gradually being eroded by the cold, and their weapons are becoming less comfortable wielding.

"Lord Duke, we've seen enough wood today, shall we go back?"

"Yes, Brother George, we've cut such wood today, and we can use it for days!"

"Don't be lazy, okay! There are so many soldiers in the camp! If we're lazy, they're going to get cold! Come, go on! Cut down some more trees!"

Every day, George personally led a part of the troops to cut wood in the surrounding forests, and then sent the wood to each military tent, so cold weather that the soldiers could not be frozen!

Lancelot led 200 men to hunt every day, collecting all the prey that could be found nearby, on the one hand, he could practice archery skills to continue to maintain his combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, he could also improve the food of the soldiers, after all, everyone had a broth to drink at every meal, and they all had a smile on their faces.

Some of them were arranged in an orderly manner, and the soldiers even organized a game of snow confrontation.

Alixai and Tina each lead a team and then start a snowball attack, Tina's command ability is not as good as Arik's and they are defeated every time, and Tina begins to complain that Alixai has cheated her into taking her jerky...

At night, layers of dark clouds cover the moonlight, which is particularly oppressive and gloomy, which is a precursor to heavy snowfall.

George instructed Aric Raceway: "Little fat man, go and organize 500 elite soldiers to raid Nuggets City tonight!"

Arixai looked surprised and asked, "Brother George, did you say that it was going to snow tonight?

George smiled: "Yes, it's tonight, you don't think anyone will send troops in this weather, do you?"

Alexei was surprised: "I wouldn't have thought of it, but it's inconvenient to march in such weather!

George smiled: "Tonight we will surprise the granary of Nuggets City, set fire and run... Don't worry about the pursuers, if the snow is heavy, let's run slower, they chase even slower!"

Alixey's eyes widened and he said, "Brother George, how are you。。。 ”

500 elite magic archers, armed with short knives and bows and arrows, no one wearing only 2 quivers, dressed in white robes in the dark night to advance towards Nugget City.

After approaching the city wall, the magic archers accurately sniped the soldiers on the city's head, and everyone touched the city and quickly occupied the commanding heights.

The weather was cold, and most of the guards at the head of the city hid inside the arrow tower behind the city to keep warm.

George quickly captured the western wall, killed all the western guards, and then had 100 men change into the clothes of the defenders and pose as the guards to guard the area.

The other 400 soldiers also changed into the clothing of the Northland soldiers and began to move towards the granary.

The granary of Nuggets City has 6 convoys, each with 1,500 men, mostly infantry and crossbowmen.

When approaching the granary, snow began to fall in the sky, and crystal snowflakes fell in large pieces, and the soldiers guarding the granary could not stand the cold and hid in the camp tents.

"Lancelot, bring someone to touch it, be sure to assassinate the enemy as much as possible, and don't make a big move!"

"Lord Duke, I understand, I'm over!

In the darkness, there was a puff of a dagger sinking into the body, the sound was so faint that it could not be heard unless you listened carefully, and the cold wind in the sky whimpered, and the sound of the wind muffled the muffled sound of assassination and the cries of soldiers before they died.

In the cold wind, 500 people slowly moved forward, and a no-man's land gradually appeared behind them, and the soldiers in the other camps did not care about the movement outside at all because they were afraid of the cold, let alone patrol the camp, and the night attack was carried out smoothly in the wind and snow.

A soldier who had gone out of his tent at night to pee saw Lancelot and asked: "Why are you still wandering around outside when the weather is so cold! Aren't you afraid of freezing to death? I think you want to act like crazy, and no matter how good you behave, you will not be promoted to an official! Hurry back to your tent and bake the fire!"

Lancelot chuckled and said, "Yes, we're cold, but you'll be even colder later!"

The others continued to advance and assassinate the soldiers of the northern kingdom, and in the second half of the night, most of the soldiers in the surrounding tents were killed.

The most outrageous thing is that no one from the northern soldiers came out to patrol the camp and nested in the tent to keep warm, George was disdainful in his heart, if Sergei led the army, it would never be possible for him to take so many camp tents so smoothly, before I heard the ruling priest complain that the northern nobles were rotten, but I didn't expect it to be rotten to this extent.

George asked Lancelot to set up his defenses, opened the door of the granary and led 100 men into it to start arson, George prepared some animal fat, lit it with fire and threw it inside the granary.

George waved his hand, everyone retreated quickly, several white shadows ran wildly in the darkness of the night, jumped on the city and exited the Nugget City, no one found and no one stopped along the way, in the wind and snow, the group ran outside the city like the wind, the wind flowers buried all the footprints and traces, George and his party as if they had never come.

The fire in the granary gradually burned, emitting a dazzling red light, and the soldiers guarding the granary finally found that someone had set fire, and they came out to defend with their weapons, and gestured at the air for a while, making sure that there were no enemy troops before starting to put out the fire.

In fact, the fire was not very big, but due to the carelessness of the soldiers guarding the granary, it caused a large loss and burned thirty percent of the grain.

If it weren't for the heavy snow that slowed down the spread of the fire, the losses of the northern army this time would have been even greater.

There was a mess in the council hall of Nugget City, and everyone was blaming each other, and it was very important to put all the on other people's heads.

Lev scolded loudly: "Those cowardly bastards, if they have the ability, they will come out to fight in the open, what kind of nobleman is it that they are so sneaky every time? The other party must be a group of mud legs to do this!"

"Lord Duke, do we need to strengthen our defense this time? At present, we have suffered serious food losses, and the food of some troops may be reduced!"

Lev thought for a while and said: "Halving the ration of the troops who followed Sergei before, and organizing them to go outside the city to urge food!"

"Lord Duke, wouldn't it be necessary for them to die if you go out to urge food at this time?"

Lev yelled, "Don't you understand when I told them to go and urge food?

"Lord Duke, I know, I'll let them go out of the city to get food immediately!"

An inexplicable sense of crisis began to slowly climb up to Lev's heart, he suddenly remembered the secret letter of the Duke of Salivan, but unfortunately he was too anxious at that time, and did not carefully taste the content of the secret letter.

The northern army that followed Sergei before was divided into several small groups and began to go out of the city to urge food, these people knew that they were being sacrificed, some of them fled back to the north as soon as they left the city, and most of them chose to surrender to George, after all, there was no good end to fleeing back to the north, if it weren't for the fact that some people's families were still in the north, maybe tens of thousands of people surrendered to George at the same time

George arranged for a part of the troops to be sent back to Bronze City, allowing Anthony to be flexible in their distribution, either by reorganizing the army or by disbanding them to other areas.

There are one and two, and the army that surrendered to George went from a few thousand to tens of thousands, and thirty thousand people surrendered to George before and after.

Ten days later, it snowed heavily, and George attacked Nuggets City again, and the layout in the city was much tighter than last time, but George still touched the city and attacked near the mansion where Lev was resting, which scared Lev so much that he peed his pants.

Lev felt like an animal in a cage, not only lost his freedom, but also worried about carrying the burden, the troops sent out to urge food never returned, and those mud legs outside the city kicked their noses and faces, and they actually touched the vicinity of his mansion!

No! We must not continue like this! We must counterattack! We must kill those mud legs outside the city! We still have 100,000 people, and the maximum number of mud legs outside the city will not exceed 50,000! If we close our eyes to people like this, we can still win, right?

Unassen led an army of 80,000 men out of the city, divided into two groups and began to search for the enemy, on the white snowfield, where the shadow of George's troops could be seen, and the army circled outside the city several times and found nothing before returning.

George chose one of the two armies that marched loosely to launch a surprise attack, bows and arrows were shot round by round, the unprepared northern soldiers were successfully attacked by the archers, and they began to run around without a head, George dispatched 10,000 archers this time, and the 40,000 northern army was reduced by 30,000 from afternoon to evening, and the remaining 10,000 people fled back to Nuggets City.

After Unassen returned, he still boasted about his command ability, saying that his troops had actually encountered enemy troops, but after the enemy saw the exquisite arrangement of his troops, he took the initiative to give up the attack, and his troops could return unscathed.

Lev frowned, the enemy's whereabouts are secretive, and what is even worse is that his troops can't beat the other party at all, although the other young generals don't think so, but they know that the army that can beat the 40,000 army in half a day is by no means an ordinary character.

Could it be that someone from the Black Diamond Kingdom has been resurrected? Lev suddenly remembered the Golden Lion family many years ago, the name that once made the land of the northern kingdom tremble.

It's impossible, and you can't scare yourself, the Golden Lion family is already called history, legend has it that Worthen has been dead for many years, since it's not him, then there's nothing to be afraid of, his troops are in the city until spring, at that time there is no cover of heavy snow, see if you don't lead the army to beat those mud legs outside the city.

George felt that it was almost over, and he harassed the other party many times, and the northern soldiers had adapted to their routine of escaping after a night attack, and the other party would no longer be defended if he escaped. Now that the Northland army has been paralyzed by itself, it is time for the main course.

The crescent moon was like a hook, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the city, and the soldiers who defended the city kept shivering.

They were reluctant to stand guard, and in order to prevent the night attack of those mud-legged men outside the city, they were forced to increase the number of people to stand guard, and everyone was coping with things in the cold wind, hoping that their posts would end soon.

The magic archers cast by the city slowly approached, and after selecting the target, they pulled their bows and sniped, and the soldiers on the city head were hit by arrows one after another, and the elite magic archers quickly touched the city and cleanly solved the soldiers in the surrounding tents.

Lancelot quickly occupied the high ground and quietly opened the city gates, which alarmed the nearby garrisons with the sound of activation, and the defenders hurriedly came to check on them in armor.

There was a sound of thunder at the gates, and George rushed in with 20,000 pikemen, followed by 20,000 archers led by Alexa.

The pikemen crushed the northern soldiers like a cold wind, and those who had not yet reacted to what was going on fell one by one, and 20,000 cavalry slaughtered through the camp of the northern army and slaughtered at another city gate.

This time, Alixai led the archers to quickly capture the granary, kill the defenders around the granary, and then set everyone on fire to the granary, and then returned the same way.

By the time Lev got out of the covers and hurriedly dressed and met the generals, George had already captured another gate and retreated.

Lev is just stupid and knows that his army can't beat those people outside the city at all, it seems that he still has to retreat, return to his own territory, before the queen once sent a messenger to say, as long as he returns to the territory and dismisses the army, then the previous things are not to blame, there is still a glimmer of life...

When the fire in the granary dyed the sky red, Lev froze, the smell of burning grain was sweet, but Lev's heart was extremely bitter, this is the grain that has been accumulated in his territory for a long time, and now it is burned down? Is his hegemony just ending in Nuggets City? How do you feel that it is over before it has even begun?

After seeing the granary on fire, all the generals reacted differently, and most of them began to get restless and secretly looked towards the northern sky, which was a sign of an unconscious desire to escape.

Lev suddenly shouted: "We must retreat to the territory of the northern country, now everyone begins to reorganize the army, and tomorrow morning the breakthrough begins!"

Before dawn, Lev got up to mobilize everyone to retreat, and when he went out, he found that most of the army had fled, and there were only about 20,000 troops left in Nuggets.

Lev's heart wanted to scold those bastards who ran away, but he couldn't say anything, since he had reached this step, the rest didn't matter, the most important thing was to be able to escape back smoothly.

After leaving the city, the 20,000-strong army rushed loosely north... Everyone had already developed a deep fear of the troops who had attacked at night before, and they wanted to leave this land as soon as possible.

As they walked farther and farther, corpses covered in feathered arrows began to appear on the ground in front of them, and as they walked forward, more corpses appeared.

Lev suddenly hurried forward, these were the routs who had fled last night, hoping that they had exhausted their feathered arrows...

Before Lev could say a word, a figure flew out of Alexey's side, quickly beheading the lower husband, and quickly put it in a box and disappeared into the horizon.

George and Alexey watched the strange white shadow depart, saying nothing.

Lancelot sighed: "Who is this? Why did you run to the north of the country? There is still a remnant of 5,000 people in the northern army, don't we pursue it?"

George laughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about what you shouldn't care! Hurry up and let everyone clean up the battlefield and take all the supplies away! Let's go back to Copper City directly, don't go to Harvest City, and don't pass the news to the Black Diamond Kingdom first, and then send a messenger to deliver the message after we return smoothly, as for the remnants of the army, let them go back, I hope they will lead the army next time" Leaving with a playful expression.

Lancelot was very puzzled, next time he will lead the army? he will lead the army? waste leader? Lord Duke! You are so unfathomable, you can think of such a solution...

There were a lot of supplies for the hundreds of thousands of northern troops, and George sent more troops from Copper City to carry supplies, mainly giant crossbows and armor, which were all materials needed by Copper City.

When a large number of supplies returned to the Copper City, George sent an envoy to the Black Venerable Kingdom to put the finishing touches on it.

At this point, Nugget City, the northern fortress of the Black Diamond Kingdom, has returned to the hands of the Isis royal family.

It was as if everything was back to square one, the bodies of the soldiers killed in battle were buried, the blood was covered by heavy snow, and everyone did not believe that there had been a large-scale battle here, except for the crow that occasionally flew in the sky, remembering that there were many corpses here.
