CHAPTER XV. The Civil War in Albion 1 Victory at the Lumberyard
The day before the battle between the House House and Gramont's army, the five thousand Toristine elite troops who arrived in La Rochelle, Gandalf, and the Fifty College magicians who were originally stationed in La Rochelle flew to the Albion Floating Continent by floating ship.

On the day of the battle between House House and Grumon, House Grace's army was launched, and 10,000 troops stationed in various mines in the territory were mobilized, of which 3,000 were attacking the nearby port city, and the other 7,000 were heading towards the forest where the House family's lumberyard shipyard was located.
The civil war in Albion was launched again.
As a port city on the floating continent, it didn't need many garrisons, so under the siege of the three thousand soldiers and horses of the Grent family, the city lord simply handed over control of the city.
The Glent family took control of the port city of Addison in the morning; In the afternoon, the 5,000 Toristine Army, which had departed from La Rochelle yesterday, arrived at Addisi, rested briefly, and left the harbor for the House lumberyard under the leadership of Gandalf.
The House family, as a wealthy family based on shipbuilding, left armies in two places; One is the royal capital where the family members live today, and the other is the woodyard where the House family has a shipyard and a logging site in the forest. There were 10,000 soldiers and horses in each of the two places.
Relatively speaking, the defense system of the royal capital is perfect, and the defense materials are sufficient, and it is very difficult to attack it even with three times the army, and the logging site only has some wooden defense measures in the forest, and it is almost the same if you go down with a fire.
Haotian personally commanded seven thousand Grent family soldiers to arrive at the lumberyard area.
"Come on, tie combustibles to your bow and arrows, light them and shoot them at me!!"
In the rear column, the archers came out of battle, drew their bows and arrows, and the soldiers on the side stepped forward to tie strips of cloth soaked in grease and set them on fire, and clusters of torch-like bows and arrows appeared.
"Shoot!!" Haotian shouted.
"Boom Boom Boom ・・・・・・"
Ten thousand arrows were fired, and fire fell from the sky.
Clusters of flames fell into the shipyard's lumberyard, some on the clearing, extinguished after burning the strips of grease cloth, but others on the timber, on the wooden houses, on the floating ships still under construction, and at one point or two, the flames were out of sight of the defenders
It grew stronger, and gradually developed into a fire that could engulf the house and float the boat.
The House lumberyard defenders were forced by fire and fled from the building in disarray.
The commander of the defenders spotted the enemy not far away and shouted angrily: "Who are you? Do you know whose territory this is? ”
"Shoot him with an arrow." Haotian said coldly.
"Boom Boom T
Hundreds of rockets rained down on the commander, and the defender commander was so frightened that he crawled behind the flaming floating ship. The "crackling" sound of flames burning, scorched wood falling, and the sound of soldiers running back and forth, scooping water to fight fires.
"Don't put out the fire, it's useless. Quick, pick up your arms, kill me, and take out those enemies. The commander of the garrison shouted.
The defenders looked at each other, stopped fighting the fire and controlling the fire under the stern gaze of the commander, picked up their knives and spears, and poured out of the lumberyard. Huhulala, a large area that was not in formation, about five thousand people rushed towards the seven thousand people of the Grent family howling wolf.
"The former army was transformed into the rear army, and the rear army was changed into the front army. Give it to me, withdraw! ”
Haotian turned the horse's head and rode away in the direction he came from.
The seven thousand Grent soldiers were astonished, turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and retreated in the direction they came.
The House defenders rushed out a thousand meters, and the Grent soldiers had retreated to a distance of 1,500 meters.
Furious, the House defenders, who were holding their breath and trying to slash the enemy, stopped their pursuit and returned to the lumberyard.
Seeing this, Haotian once again asked the army to turn around and move forward.
Arriving two hundred meters outside the logging site, the archers fired rockets again, undoing the defenders' previous efforts. The fire erupted from all directions of the lumberyard, and the flames grew stronger and stronger, gradually spreading towards the forest outside the lumberyard.
The defenders came out to attack, if there were many people, Haotian would retreat, and the defenders who did not dare to pursue deeply had to retreat to a certain distance; If there are fewer people, such as 511 people, Haotian will lead 2,000 swords and pikemen under his command to fight with them, and the remaining 5,000 archers are still firing rockets.
Haotian arrived at the lumberyard area at half past one in the afternoon, and then at four o'clock in the afternoon, the lumberyard shipyard was burned to the blackened burning wood. Nearly 10,000 defenders could not defend it, and the whole army attacked with red eyes to pursue Haotian's 7,000 people.
Behind the hall of swordsmen and pikemen, the archers shot as they retreated, and the seven thousand soldiers slowly retreated.
10,000 enemy troops gathered into a long dragon, pouring out of the lumber yard to chase Haotian's 7,000 soldiers and horses.
Then, a strong army came out of the ramp.
"Puff", "Puff", "Puff", ・・・・・・
In the middle of the enemy army, a sharp rock spear more than a meter long suddenly appeared, a total of 1,000 strands, burst out in one breath, stabbing 10,000 enemy troops, only three or four hundred people were directly stabbed to death, and only five or six hundred people were stabbed, but 10,000 enemy troops were stabbed into the formation by a thousand rock spears, and the pace of pursuit was slow, and the whole army was in chaos.
【Fireball】【Wind Blade】【Rock Spear】【Water Impact】【Wind Blade】【Large Fireball】...
Immediately afterwards, fifty teenagers dressed in conspicuous mage academy costumes appeared on the side of the hillside, chanting loudly, all kinds of magic fell from the sky, smashed into the dense enemy array, took away two or three, and more than a dozen.
Frightened by the power of magic, the defenders panicked.
Then five thousand swords and pikemen poured out from behind the magician, shouting and charging at the chaotic enemy. It's Torlistine's reinforcements.
After fighting the fire for half an afternoon, he was already depressed, frightened by two magic blows, and then encountered enemy reinforcements. The remaining eight or nine thousand enemy troops finally broke down, threw away their weapons, and shouted: "I surrender, don't kill me." "I don't want to die." "Ancestor, help me."
Five thousand Toristine elites rushed down the hillside from top to bottom, taking nearly a thousand enemies through the enemy thicket, and the rest lost their weapons and crouched in place.
The Toristine army stopped, and surrounded the frightened enemy from all sides.
Haotian led the army to meet the commander of the Toristine army.
It was Gandalf, the former commander of the advance force of the Albiang Army.
After the two met, they exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Haotian then arranged for a battle.
Finding command from the captives of the lumberyard defenders, Haotian ordered him to write a letter asking for help and send it to the royal capital.
"We have more than fifty magicians here, and you must know that magicians have many ways to make a person's life worse than death."
Haotian threatened.
The commander of the garrison was not a loyal man, otherwise he would not have chosen to be captured.
Under Haotian's polishing, he wrote a letter asking for help from the credit house family and sent it to the royal capital. The letter was to the effect that the lumberyard shipyard was attacked by 10,000 troops of the Grunt family, and the 10,000 defenders were at a loss for help from the enemy.
In Haotian's expectant gaze, the pigeon flew towards the royal capital with a trap.
