CHAPTER XVII. The Civil War in Albion 3 The Expeditionary Force is Destroyed
The first day of the civil war in Albiang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gramont fought to the death with 30,000 troops and 30,000 of the House house, and wiped them out with the death of 20,000 soldiers. Subsequently, the bones were gathered and set on fire. After that, the remnants of the army, after a night's rest, all left the city of [Toth] and headed for the city of [Tony].
On the first day, the commander of the Grent family expeditionary force and the defenders of [Tony] City commanded you to fight a fake battle, which seemed to be lively and lively, but at the end of the day, the casualties on both sides did not exceed 1,000, and [Tony] City was still intact.
The McGhan family commander can't stand it, if your Grent family cherishes feathers, let my McGan family attack well, take down [Tony] City, and divide the spoils evenly.
With such lucrative conditions, if you refuse, you will be a ghost. However, Commander Grent still proposed one and a half, he attacked the south gate, and the McGhan family attacked the north gate, no matter who attacked the city first, the spoils were half on one side.
The McGhan family commander nodded in agreement.
Then, in the evening, the armies on both sides died down and recuperated. Commander Grent wrote to inform the defenders of the city, and asked the defenders to leave one or two thousand troops at the south gate to make a show, and the rest to ask for their own blessings at the north gate.
After the defenders were in command, they distributed their forces according to the method of Grunt's command.
On the first day, the 30,000 allied troops of Mani, Pest, and the small family were still on their way to Tolly.
The next day, the second day of the civil war in Albion, was also the day after the expeditionary force entered the Torristeen border.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright, and the Grent and McGhan families were attacking the city.
Compared to Glendt's side, he has no energy and is pretentious. The McGan family exerted their best strength, the archers threw fires, the stormers rushed to the city gate under the cover of the shield soldiers to blast, and the pikemen and long knife soldiers advanced.
The defenders of Tony personally commanded the battle at the north gate, the archers shot down the city walls, and the swordsmen and pikemen moved stones to smash down, poured oil and lit fires, and did everything.
But it still can't withstand the continuous offensive of the McGen family, "boom, boom" and "bang".
After a series of explosions, the north gate finally collapsed.
After a slight stagnation, the McGhan soldiers poured into the city to fight Tony's defenders in close combat, and even the defender commander rushed to the front line, slashing an enemy to death with a knife, chanting magic, and smashing four or five enemy soldiers with fireballs.
The 8,000 [Tony] defenders took advantage of the city walls and smashed to death almost unscathed before the McGhan family stormed the city gates, killing two or three thousand enemy soldiers. However, after the city gate was blown open, the enemy army poured in, and the two armies fought closely, and the 8,000 defenders of the north gate of [Tony] were all wiped out, replacing about 6,000 soldiers of the McGhan family.
The McGans poured in from the north gate to the south gate at the end of a road, and the 2,000 soldiers at the south gate saw that the north gate had missed and knew that they could not defend it, so they simply raised their hands and surrendered. The Glent family also entered the city of [Tony], and the two families occupied the city one south and one north, looting supplies and resting the army.
Then at one o'clock in the afternoon, Marshal Gramont's 10,000 reinforcements appeared outside the north gate, and stopped three miles from the city to rest. The McGan family is facing a great enemy, and they invite the Grunt family to consult with the commander to deal with it.
Marshal Gramont did not attack, and the two commanders would not go out of the city to meet the battle, and for a time they were stalemate inside and outside the city.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the combined forces of Mani, Pest, and the minor nobles arrived outside the city of [Toli], and without resting, the 30,000 allied troops directly attacked the city. The commander of the city of [Toli] did not retreat, 10,000 defenders died 8,000, repelled the first wave of the enemy's attack, and also caused 12,000 kills, and the remaining 18,000 enemy troops could capture the [Toli] city with only 2,000 defenders left as long as they used a little force, but each family lost a small half of the troops, at this time I thought about retaining my strength and letting the other families fight down.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, carrier pigeons entered the command post of the coalition forces outside the city of [Tory] one after another.
The commanders of the small families who received the letter looked surprised, left the tent and looked at the surprised faces of their companions holding the letters, and after asking each other, they found that the nobles of their respective families had left the republic and returned to the kingdom, and the head of the family wrote to them to leave the expeditionary force and return to China as soon as possible. The letter also mentions that Willus had given a kill order to the Mani, Pace, McGhan, and House families to stay away from them.
The commanders of the Marni and Pace families who received the letter changed their expressions greatly, Willus returned to the country, and the head of the family wrote to them to abandon the expedition and hurry back to China to participate in the civil war. There is also a mention of the rebellion of the minor nobles, Willus's order to kill the four families.
So the commanders of the petty nobles who got the letter and the commanders of the Mani and Pace families looked at each other, full of distrust.
I don't know if the man was timid, but with a shake of his hand, the letter slipped from between his fingers and was exposed in a group of conductors.
"Kill!" "Kill!" Shouts of killing erupted from the mouths of the various commanders.
The soldiers of each family, who were at a loss, finally took up arms and killed the friendly forces not long ago under the repeated reprimands of their own command, and the civil war between the coalition forces also broke out between the 10,000 small nobles and the 6,000 Mani and Pace families.
The 2,000 remnants of the city wondered, why did the good enemy kill each other? The commander of the defenders was also suspicious, and strictly ordered the soldiers to stay on the city wall and not leave the city.
The brutal battle lasted for two hours, and the combined forces of the Mani and Pace families were completely wiped out, and the combined army of the minor nobles was only about 7,500. The remaining small aristocratic coalition did not even have time to collect the bones, and slowly retreated, slowly out of the sight of the defenders of [Tolly] City.
The defenders looked at each other, and finally hugged each other for the rest of their lives, letting out earth-shattering cheers.
The letter written by the head of the House family to the commander of the House family expeditionary force probably could not be delivered, and on the gray-white plain, a few white doves wandered back and forth.
Letters from the heads of the Grunt family and the McOrgan family to the conductor also arrived at the two conductors at about 5 p.m. Letter from the McGhans: Willus and the Grunt family launched a civil war for the restoration of the country, the Grunt family betrayed us, and Willus has a kill order for the four families. Forget about the expedition, quickly lead the troops back to China to support.
Letter from the Grent family: The civil war has begun, lead the troops to retreat, participate in the civil war.
So two families that were once good brothers, two armies, gathered in a city, and finally broke out under the catalysis of two letters.
The McGhan family commanded the leader to kill the south of the city: "You shit-eating bastard, you actually cheated on me when you were a brother." "I can't help it, it's the family's decision. Let's take a final ride together. ”
The mercenaries who came to make up the number took the commission of the Grent family, and did not leave in the siege of the paddling scene, and when the soldiers of the McOrgan family came over with red eyes, two or three thousand people were killed and wounded, and the other mercenaries were not provoked to fight with the McGan family, but turned around and fled like frightened rabbits, leaving behind the five thousand soldiers of the Grunt family to face the angry eight thousand soldiers of the McGan family alone.
The city was in flames, and shouts of killing poured together. Outside the city, Marshal Gramont felt that it was his "friend" Grent who commanded the mobilization, so he also poured into the city gate with 10,000 troops.
The north gate, which was blown open, was quickly smashed open by Marshal Gramont and his troops unguarded. 10,000 fresh troops joined the chaotic battle between the Grent and McGhann families, although Marshal Gramont emphasized that Grunt was a friendly army, but how could the Torristeen soldiers tell the difference, and these 10,000 soldiers still survived the previous 60,000 decisive battles with a murderous spirit, so they cut whoever they saw. The soldiers of the Glend and McGhan families, who were brainlessly chopped by the Torristeen Army, were also forced to see who cut whom.
The city of [Tony] became a slaughterhouse, and 23,000 soldiers from the two countries and three sides were locked up in it and fought each other. Flesh and blood were splashed, shouts of killing were boiling, and the shadows swaying in the firelight were like demons.
The rush did not subside until late at night, with the last remnants of the Toristine army of 3,000, the remaining 300 of the Grunt family, and the remaining 500 of the McGan family. Returning to his senses from his demonic bloodthirsty state, Marshal Gramont had his men guard eight hundred soldiers. Then he saw the McOrgan family commander and the Grent family commander who died together in the square in the middle of the city, and under the guidance of his men, both of them stabbed each other in the chest, and their faces were angry, hateful, and remorseful.
"Separate them, forget it, and bury them together." Gramont said wistfully that he had benefited a lot from the command of the Grent family, but he could not see him and thank him, and he died.
He looked in the distance in the direction of Tolly City, wondering what was going on there. Then he looked up at the western sky, how was the civil war going in Albion?
In any case, Albion's aggression against Torristeen should have been in vain. Drink a big white drink.
"Come on, bring the wine." Grammon exclaimed.
