13 soldiers came to the city
"Report!" A general in gray armor knocked on the thick door and shouted loudly outside the door.
"Spoiled!" Inside the room, he pulled his palm from the mattress on the chest of a delicate woman, and the city lord of Ferry City, Berman, ordered in a cold voice in displeasure: "Get in!" Say it! ”
The woman didn't seem to be happy, her lotus arm hung around the neck of His Majesty the King, and she was delicate and unrelenting: "Your Excellency, ......"
"Humph!" Lost interested, Berman stepped away from the woman who was tired of him, and the many gold chains hanging from his body swayed, shining softly in the candlelight.
"My lord! Big things are wrong...... The troops stationed on the border, guarding the west, 300 infantry led by General Lille, were all ...... The whole army was annihilated......" The general did not dare to look up after entering the room, and said with his legs together and bowed his head in a wailing voice.
"What?" Hearing that his general had been defeated and had lost so many soldiers, the city lord suddenly sat up straight from his chair, and the anger on his face made people shudder.
"I laid out 500 soldiers on the border! It was only two days before they were wiped out? Is it Mayne's troops? Or Seris's troops? His big hand slapped on the table and made a crisp sound: "Lille stupid pig!" What does he eat? ”
Yesterday he was still immersed in the joy that he had captured tens of thousands of Mayne civilians, and today he heard such a shocking news.
Originally, he thought that it would be at least ten days before the two countries would decide the victory, and by that time, he had also settled the civilians who had been brought in and made preparations for mobilization for war.
Neither Seris nor Mayne, who were so badly injured, could take immediate revenge on him, at least until next year, when a large-scale war could break out.
But in fact he miscalculated everything: the war had broken out the day before yesterday, and today his field forces were almost completely wiped out......
According to the report of the soldiers who fled...... Yesterday afternoon, Seris's black-armored cavalry bypassed the scouts and suddenly appeared on the flank of General Lille, who was caught off guard and could only respond in a hurry, he himself was killed in the chaos of the army, and the troops, the troops were all wiped out......" The general was very embarrassed to report the news he had just received.
"Didn't they just fight Mayne's main force? Yes? Could it be that Mayne's troops are all fools? Defeated without even a single Serris? Tell me? Well? The thunderous Lord of Bergman swept away the water glass and various utensils in front of him, and roared loudly.
"My lord! According to the intelligence, Seris's cavalry is not very large, only 300 people, and I think they are not able to draw more troops to attack us, maybe, it may just be a raid. As long as we shrink our forces and retreat to the defense of the city, there should be no danger......" The general who knelt on the ground swallowed his saliva, withdrew his gaze from the half-exposed beauty who fell to the ground, and opened his mouth to admonish.
Berman was silent, weighing the pros and cons - if he curtailed his forces now, it would be tantamount to abandoning all the civilians he had plundered before.
As long as Seris's cavalry is killed, these civilians will soon return to their original places of residence, and will not remain in the territory of Ferry City at all.
Busy for nothing? This kind of thing Berman felt a little unwilling. But he couldn't do anything with Seris's cavalry, so he was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
"Gather all your troops at once and defend Ferry City! Get me Laures! Berman glanced at the kneeling general on the ground, waved his hand and turned his anger on the woman: "This slut...... I've got you covered! ”
After weighing it, he felt that it was more secure to keep his foundation, and if the population was gone, he could find a chance to fight for it next time, but if the city was lost, then he would have no hope of turning the tables at all. So he decided to gather his forces and wait for the other side to come at the ferry city.
"Your Excellency!" Hearing that she had been thrown to a rude general, the beautiful woman who was sitting on the ground was pale, screaming but not daring to move.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! The general who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly bowed his head and thanked him with a lewd smile on his face.
Without glancing at the woman who was already crying, Berman advocated opening his arms. Several of the surrounding maids stepped forward and hung the prepared armor on his somewhat fat body.
Soon, Lawrnes, dressed in leather armor and with a strong build, walked into the city lord's mansion in Berman, with a long sword at his waist, looking imposing.
This General Lawnes is the commander of the fleet of Ferry City, commanding the fleet of Ferry City. He doesn't usually go ashore much, and is an out-and-out aquatic animal.
Seeing his men, Berman immediately commanded, "Lawrnes! The cavalry of the city of Seris is coming! Get your people ready! ”
"I said earlier, you are causing trouble by arresting those civilians, this kind of thing that hurts heaven and reason, you will be punished by God if you do it!" Lawrence snorted coldly with his chin held high as he pressed his sword.
"It's too late to say anything! You do what you're supposed to do! I do what I have to do! Berman was a little dissatisfied with the arrogance of his subordinates, and poked his finger into the other's chest and scolded.
Lawrence watched Bowman's fingers poke at his chest, nodded expressionlessly, took a step back and turned to leave: "I will prepare the fleet to go to sea!" ”
"Sooner or later, I'll ...... Fuck you bastard! Looking at Lawrnes's distant back, Berman let out a cloudy breath and cursed.
……
Chris wiped the sword in his hand and looked up at the majestic Ferry City. This is not a castle, but a real city with a port.
Beside him, the war horses were grazing with their heads bowed with their noses snorted, and on the hillside in the distance, groups of refugees who had spontaneously organized themselves to return home were surging along the road towards the western horizon.
Five days had passed since his departure, and in a few days, he had rescued countless civilians who had been brought here from the eastern plains of Mayne. Annihilated at least 350 soldiers of Ferry City.
The loss of 300 cavalry was not small, and a full 50 people fell on the way forward. Because he didn't carry heavy weapons, dozens of battles, large and small, were fought by Chris with real knives and guns.
"Your Excellency!" Riding on a tall horse, Waglon's adjutant Kolya grabbed the reins beside Chris and reported loudly: "The artillery has arrived!" ”
"Excellent! Take a break! Start attacking Ferry City in the afternoon! Chris knew that five days was a lot of time, and he didn't have the patience to spend any longer, and he had to end the fight right away.
As for the fleet of Ferry City, and the damned Berman City Lord, he was in no mood to bother anymore. Even if the other party escapes this time, he will settle the account with this Berman in the future!
Chris waited all morning, and finally waited for his main force. He personally supervised the artillery units to set up positions under the city, and soon 20 guns were lined up on the periphery of the ferry city, ready to open fire.
"Let them see what a real war is!" Chris rode on his horse, out of range of his bow and arrows, staring at the walls of Ferry City in the distance.
As his order was relayed, the distant cannon let out one dull loud bang after another.
"Boom!" "Boom!" As if the earth was shaking, one cannonball after another flew towards the distant target in the dull sound of thunder, and the devil's flowers bloomed on the walls of Ferry City.
The rubble spread with the blast wave of the explosion, the billowing smoke filled everywhere, the walls were in shambles, and the ground trembled with the sound of cannons.
Chris squinted as the walls of Ferry City slowly crumbled and collapsed, regretting that he didn't have a telescope to take a closer look at the magnificence.
He didn't order anyone to surrender, he just prepared his own attack and waited for the city to open its doors to him.
No one can resist the roar of cannons, and the fortifications of the Cold Weapon Age will naturally crumble under the blows of modern technology. The collapse of the enemy was only a matter of time, and there was absolutely no need for him to rush.
Just like the siege of Mayne Castle, soon a huge white flag was erected on the walls of Ferry City, and in a magical world, no soldier wanted to fight against the "magic army".
"It seems that the other party's courage is nothing more than that." Chris pressed the long sword at his waist and gave a not-so-high evaluation. He clamped his legs between the horse's belly and slowly marched forward with his troops.
The gates of Ferry City were opened from the inside, and the soldiers guarding the city knelt on either side of the gates, not even daring to look up at Chris. Chris didn't bother to deal with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and led his troops straight to the City Lord's Mansion in Ferry City.
……
"Whew, whew!" Slightly panting, Berman ripped off the armor from his chest as he ran forward. His figure was already very bulky, and at this time he looked even more fat.
Just now he was standing on the city wall, waiting for the Seris soldiers, who numbered only a few hundred people, to attack the city. He prepared tens of thousands of bows and arrows, as well as rolling stones and wood, just waiting for Chris to lead his army to his death.
But it was different from what he expected, and the other party's attack was a bit special...... The walls exploded inexplicably, and after those strange hissing sounds, the rubble and pieces of iron cut through the bodies of everyone around them as if they were swords.
He saw with his own eyes a soldier whose head had been cut off by a piece of iron, and his ears buzzed with the sound of the loud explosion. He couldn't hear the cries around him, which made him even more confused.
Until now, he had not regained his hearing, and he had stumbled all the way out of the city walls, and the guards around him had disappeared.
He only had one thought left now: get out of here, get away from those terrible explosions, and find a chance to make a comeback, so that he could come back to avenge today's arrow!
