This time, Duke Debos sent an army of 100,000 to attack Mulan City, not counting the tens of thousands of naval fleets.

Another 50,000 troops landed on the Bichao Peninsula by sea, and the Bloody Baron's fleet was only responsible for transporting troops and blockading the seas, and the commander of this 50,000 army was someone else.

Earl Duke, a retainer of the Russo family and the uncle of Duke Deboth.

This is a veteran, now in his sixties.

Just as Earl Austin expected, Earl Duke had no intention of fighting him for the destruction of the city.

It is said that his army of 50,000 crossed the sea and came at a much faster speed, and he should have landed near Mulan City two or three days ago.

But he did not, but sailed slowly on the sea, and even after reaching the vicinity of the Bichao Peninsula, he did not land, but continued to patrol on the ship.

Before, Earl Duke was still at the same level as Earl Austin, and he was old and senior.

But now it's different, the Russo family is not what it used to be, once the Third Reich of Silun is officially established and Sauron the Great ascends the throne, Austin will become the second duke of the Russo family.

In the future, the son of Duke Debos will even be given the new surname Rusosilun and will become the prince of the empire.

Then he, Earl Duke, must keep a low profile, and must not steal the limelight from Earl Austin.

And the credit for destroying Mulan City is completely insignificant, more of a symbolic victory. For example, completely exterminate the stronghold of the Orientals, or completely extinguish the resurgence of the Witch Empire.

Now that Earl Duke had been cruising the sea for several days, his army of 50,000 was a little impatient.

"Hasn't Austen's army arrived yet?" asked the Earl of Duke.

"Not yet, please rest assured that we have several ships that are always on the south side of the Earl's army, and they will report back as soon as the Earl's army arrives. ”

Count Duke frowned and did not speak.

..................

After another half a day, Earl Duke asked again, "Hasn't the Earl of Austin's army arrived yet?"

He was a veteran, and according to his calculations, the Austin army should have arrived.

"Not yet. ”

The Earl of Duke came to the map and carefully studied the terrain.

"Don't wait. Earl Duke said, "The army will land at once and wait for the army of Earl Austin on the ground." ”

It was only a political consideration to humble Earl Austin, but victory came first.

"Yes, Lord Count. ”

The fleet went to a beach on a Bichao Peninsula to prepare for an official landing.

"No, land in another place. Earl Duke said.

"Your Excellency, only this beach is the most suitable for landing, and the waves in several other places are too great for landing. The subordinate general said.

Earl Duke said, "What place is the most unsuitable for landing?" ”

"This area. The subordinate general said: "The tide in this place is relatively fierce, and the distance from Mulan City is relatively far, and after landing, you have to march dozens of miles. ”

Count Duke said, "Then land from this most difficult place." ”

The generals under him couldn't help but wonder, why did this happen?

Count Duke said, "The most difficult place to land, and the least ambushed. ”

The generals under his command were stunned? This group of Orientals has a total of 2,000 troops, can there still be an ambush? Isn't it ridiculous?

But the Count of Duke was the supreme leader of this army, and no one could disobey his orders.

An hour later.

The Earl Duke's army of 50,000 landed on one of the most tidal beaches in the southern part of the Bichao Peninsula, losing more than a dozen small boats and hundreds of casualties. His generals were silent, but they were quite reproachful in their hearts.

What they didn't know, however, was that this decision by the Count of Duke saved more troops.

Lan Feng, the leader of the Eastern Knights, also planted a lot of explosives/charges on the other two landing sites, and once the army of Count Duke landed in those two locations, it would suffer even greater casualties.

Why don't you plant explosives everywhere? That's too much, and the explosives in Mulan City are very precious.

The Earl Duke's natural caution allowed the army to avoid a huge casualty.

However, probably no one will know this and will not be able to verify his wise decision.

..................

After the Earl of Duke's 50,000-strong army landed, he immediately sent a large number of scouts to explore the southern tip of the Bichao Peninsula.

And his main army chose a place that was most difficult to defend and attack, built a defensive line and a large camp, and made the fleet on the sea ready to meet at all times.

This move made people laugh at him even more.

The Earl of Duke had been too cautious, and it would have been reasonable to face the same army of 100,000, but they were dealing with an alien army of 2,000 men, and a rough and ugly town.

But if you don't understand, you don't understand, everyone must obey, and no one dares to disobey.

The Earl Duke was cautious in his use of soldiers, but that did not mean that he was merciful, and if he dared to disobey his orders, he would not hesitate to behead that man.

The Earl of Duke did more than that, he not only ordered the army to build his own battalion, but also built another battalion of tens of thousands of people, so that the Earl of Austin's army could be stationed immediately after its arrival.

His generals were even more dissatisfied, Your Excellency Earl Duke, although you are an old servant of the Russo family, you are also highly respected, is it necessary to please Count Austin Russo so much? He is only thirty-nine years old, almost about the same age as your son.

..................

The valley to the north of Mulan City.

The Earl of Austin stood up again, looking at the exploding valley, which was hundreds of meters long, and the ground was densely packed with large craters, almost impassable.

He returned to the main force of his army, and all the 10,000 besieging troops were killed, and there were still 40,000 left!

"The army retreated two thousand meters. ”

With his order, the 40,000-strong army retreated and encamped.

The Duke of Austin officially convened the meeting.

"That area in the valley has been blasted out of countless large craters, which are inconvenient to pass, and if you want to continue attacking that wall, you must first level these large pits. ”

"So I feel compelled to order the Bloody Baron's fleet to go north, to transport our troops across this wall, and to land directly to the south. ”

"The walls of the enemy are flanked on either side by steep peaks, which are not conducive to the passage of large armies, but it is possible to send small troops through the peaks to go around the back of the enemy's walls. ”

The Earl of Austin remained silent, allowing his men to discuss.

The generals discussed for a long time, explained almost all the plans, and then looked at Earl Austin.

"Next is my order, an unquestionable order. ”

"First, it is absolutely impossible to let the fleet go north to pick us up from the south, we must conquer these three thousand meters of wall of the Easterners, otherwise it will still become our nightmare, if such a small wall wakes us up in our nightmare, it will be too sad. “

"Second, my army of 10,000 died tragically, and as their commander, it is my duty to avenge them. It is true that there is no grudge on the battlefield, but what is happening today is a massacre, and if I can't kill all the people in that city, then the souls of the 10,000 dead samurai will linger in my mind. Never to rest in peace. ”

"Third, the enemy had planted the terrible Wrath of the Celestials in that area, but they had already exploded, and it was impossible to bury them a second time. Tonight a large army will be dispatched to fill in these pits, and it must be done before dawn. ”

"Fourth, when it was almost dawn, send two thousand men to march along the cliffs and peaks on both sides, detour to the back of the enemy's walls, and flank them at the critical moment. ”

As soon as these orders were given, the generals under them were very puzzled in their hearts.

Is this necessary? After all, the enemy is only 500 men.

..................

That night, the 5,000 men under the command of the Earl of Austin became sappers, filling the pits that had been blown up during the day with dirt and boulders, so as to facilitate the passage of tomorrow's army.

At dawn, 2,000 elite warriors shed their heavy armor and went into battle lightly, climbing along the cliffs on both sides, trying to attack behind the walls of Chunhua Pass.

Before dawn the next day!

These big pits in front of the 3,000-meter city wall of Chunhua Pass have all been filled.

Once again, the Earl of Austin stood on a high ground and commanded the entire battle.

"The army is besieging the city!"

"Kill the Orientals on the city walls!"

As soon as he gave the order, the trumpet sounded again.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The elite warriors under his command once again charged and attacked the city.

It's just that it's different from yesterday, yesterday was an army of 10,000, charging neatly. And today it is three thousand, scattered charges.

"Kill them all!"

"Forward, forward. ”

The 3,000 men charged through the death zone that had exploded yesterday.

Even though the craters were filled, severed arms and stumps were seen everywhere, blood everywhere, and black and red internal organs.

At this time, these 3,000 people were almost holding their breath, constantly praying to the gods that they would never explode again, never again.

Sure enough, if you can bury explosives/charges in the ground once, you can't bury them a second time.

The 3,000 men rushed through the area of death, which had exploded, and soon rushed under the city walls.

It worked!

Just rush under the walls and you'll be successful.

The enemy had less than five hundred men, and each person had to defend an average of six or seven meters of walls, and there were no rolling boulders to defend the city.

Three thousand men could easily break through this fragile wall.

Kill the Orientals, kill them all!

The eyes of these three thousand people turned red, and their hearts were full of bitter hatred and murderous aura.

Charge, charge!

Closer and closer to the city walls.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters!

Soon, soon these Orientals can be killed, and their heads and limbs must be cut off, so that even if they go to hell, they will not be able to put together a complete version of themselves.

Kill, kill, kill!

The Earl of Austin was a little surprised, why did this group of Orientals not shoot arrows to fight back at this distance?

However, at this time, nearly five hundred defenders on the wall of Chunhua Pass pulled out an iron lump.

What is this?

Some are made of iron, others are simply wooden, and some are even wrapped in silk. Each primordial grenade was filled with about 300 grams of explosives/charge, as well as hundreds of shrapnel.

Each primitive grenade weighed about two kilograms, which was obviously too heavy for a modern army, but it was moderate for these warriors under Shen Lang's command, who could throw them thirty or forty meters away.

"What is this?" said Earl Austin's heart with an ominous premonition.

But Zhang Chunhua on the city wall seemed to be even more nervous.

The two generals shouted an order.

"Ready!"

Five hundred defenders raised the primordial grenade alof.

"Ignition!"

With an order, five hundred people lit the fire neatly.

Time passed minute by minute, and Zhang Chunhua was so nervous that he could barely breathe.

This primitive grenade is very dangerous, whether it is for the enemy or for one's own people, the slightest mistake will explode in the hand, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Each primordial grenade had a lead of the same length, so everyone had to move in unison.

If you throw it too early, the enemy may throw it back. If you throw it late, you will blow it up.

"Cast!"

The two generals gave a sudden order.

Five hundred defenders on the walls threw neatly.

"Whoosh ......"

The five hundred primordial grenades blazed in flames, arcing through the air and smashing down on the siege army of Earl Austin.

Almost instinctively, the Earl of Austin shouted, "Get down, get down!"

Some of his 3,000 besieging troops continued to charge, while others immediately obeyed the order and immediately lay on the ground.

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

Another series of astonishing explosions.

It's not as earth-shattering as yesterday, but it's also deafening because it makes people's eardrums perforated.

Another terrible massacre.

In an instant, it was as if it was blown by a gust of wind, and countless soldiers who were charging were directly blown out.

Once again, the severed arm and stump flew around.

Once again, like a scarecrow, it was thrown several meters away, and blood spurted wildly in the air.

And today's situation is even more terrible, there is shrapnel in these primitive grenades.

This is the magnified version of the rainstorm pear blossom, and countless shrapnel really shoots like a torrential rain.

The power was like rain hitting ten thousand pits on the beach, and once the soldiers of the Earl of Austin were hit by shrapnel, their entire bodies were instantly scarred.

..................

A few minutes later, the dust settled again.

The Earl of Austin thought that the 3,000 men who besieged the city were once again wiped out, but he did not expect that some more people would rise up on the ground one after another.

These primitive grenades are so powerful that once they explode, soldiers within a radius of more than ten meters will either die or be maimed.

But manpower is limited, and it is impossible to throw too far to form a carpet bombardment. And the explosives/charges in Mulan City have not reached this point.

The Earl of Austin attacked the city with 3,000 men, and this wave of grenade attacks killed and wounded more than half of them.

This is already a very impressive result, but it is still not enough!

The more than 1,000 people who survived the battlefield crawled up with a blank face.

They didn't die, but many of them were deaf in their ears, and their eyes were black and gaging for bouts.

Typical concussion.

For a long time, they all looked at the Earl of Austin, should we continue to attack the city?

And at the same time!

"Boom, boom, boom......"

There was another explosion, but it came from the mountains.

The explosion was silent, not to kill the enemy, but to sound the alarm.

Shen Lang's defenders were worried that the enemy would secretly march from the mountains on both sides to make a detour to the back, so they planted a large area of thunder mercury on the mountain.

This kind of thing is very sensitive and will explode once stepped on.

This was to remind Zhang Chunhua that there was an enemy who tried to sneak attack from behind the mountains on both sides.

..................

At this time, the Earl of Austin had two options.

The army was ordered to continue the charge, one after the other, until the three-thousand-meter wall was overcome.

There is also a temporary halt to attacks.

"Pause the attack, pause the attack!"

With the order of the Earl of Austin, the surviving more than 1,000 people quickly retreated.

The second assault on Chunhua Pass failed.

But the Earl of Austin did not seem very depressed, but a little more relaxed.

Shen Lang's army is very powerful, and there are a lot of weird means.

But that's pretty much the end of it, and now the only killer of the 500 defenders on the walls is this explosive lump of iron.

It's incredibly powerful, but it also has significant drawbacks.

First of all, it is impossible to throw too far with manpower, and secondly, this thing is too dangerous and will blow itself up at any time.

It is not difficult to restrain this explosive iron bump.

"Your Excellency Shaman, how many trebuchets do we have left, how many Vulcan Fury do we have left, and how many flying rockets do we have left?"

The Vulcan Shaman was already a little skeptical at this time.

We believe in the god of fire, but why is the enemy's wrath of the god of fire more advanced and powerful than ours?

After hearing Earl Austin's answer, she replied bitterly: "Yesterday there was a big explosion, and we still have a dozen trebuchets that we haven't had time to recover, and now there are only thirteen trebuchets left." There are not many rockets, and there are less than a hundred cars. ”

Earl Austin said, "Enough, these things are enough to restrain the enemy." All we need is time, our trebuchets throw Vulcan's Wrath at the enemy, whether they are accurate or not, whether they can kill or not. But at least in such an explosion, the enemy would not dare to throw the explosive lumps of iron, which would buy us precious time, and in a quarter of an hour our army would be able to rush to the walls, and by that time the battle would be over, and we would be able to kill them all with ease. ”

It has to be said that Earl Austin is an excellent commander.

The secret weapon of the grenade was absolutely unfamiliar to him, but he could still make accurate judgments.

He was right in his thinking, as soon as the trebuchet massively threw fire/medicine packs at the city walls, there were explosions everywhere. The Shen Lang defenders on the city wall didn't even dare to take out the grenades, not to mention throwing grenades.

Because every grenade has mercury thunderate on it, this thing is so sensitive that it can explode at any moment.

Therefore, as long as the trebuchet is used to suppress the fire on the city wall, the killer weapon of Shen Lang's army will be completely extinguished.

..................

Two hours later!

Thirteen trebuchets were pushed out again, three hundred and thirty meters away from the city wall of Chunhua Pass.

Fifty rocket wagons were pushed to a distance of four hundred meters from the city walls.

This distance was also carefully calculated by the Earl of Austin, and it was considered a very safe distance.

"Ready!"

"Launch!"

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Earl Austin's thirteen trebuchets began to fireak their might, throwing fire/powder packs into the air.

Moments later, the Vulcan rocket launcher also began to play out an amazing scene.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

Hundreds of rockets shot out wildly, slicing through the air with long tail flames, and shooting towards the three-thousand-meter city wall of Chunhua Pass.

The Earl of Austin stood on a high place, and once again saw the Oriental defenders on the wall of Chunhua Pass lying down again.

They didn't dare to take out the exploding iron ball again, and his tactics succeeded.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

Once again, Vulcan's fire/powder packs exploded above and below the walls.

The thick smoke of black fire/medicine instantly enveloped the entire city wall, and countless rockets shot wildly towards the city wall, regardless of whether they were hit or not, in short, it was fire suppression.

"Charge the army!"

"Take this wall and kill all the Orientals on it. ”

As soon as Earl Austin gave the order, his army of 10,000 rushed out like a tide and rushed towards the city wall of Chunhua Pass.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

The trebuchet was thrown in the second round, and the gun/powder packs exploded again up and down the walls.

Crazy fire suppression.

An army of 10,000 charged frantically.

Make sure that Shen Lang's army no longer dares to throw grenades.

The army of 10,000 was getting closer and closer to the city wall, three hundred meters, two hundred meters, thirty meters.

"Stop throwing, stop firing!"

Count Austin ordered the suppression of fire to stop, and at this time the defenders on the city walls would not have time to take out any more grenades.

He had already taken down the 3,000-meter wall.

Although the Great Army had not yet climbed the walls, the Earl of Austin had already seen the results.

............

A quarter of an hour later, the smoke cleared.

The Earl of Austin's army officially occupied Chunhua Pass, but the 500 defenders on the city walls were nowhere to be found.

In the thick smoke, they retreated in full force and returned to Mulan City.

When the Earl of Austin launched a trebuchet to suppress the fire on the city wall, Zhang Chunhua and several generals already knew that the city could not be defended.

Despite the big loss, the Earl of Austin made the most correct tactics.

Count Austin Russo stands on the wall of Chunhua Pass, looking at his army from the enemy's point of view.

It is unimaginable that a mere 3,000-meter wall has brought him nearly 12,000 casualties.

His army of 50,000 was left with thirty-eight thousand.

This was undoubtedly a painful lesson, but he was not discouraged, at least he knew the strength of the enemy.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and win all battles.

"The army marched forward and attacked the queen city of Shen Lang, an oriental. ”

With his order, an army of 38,000 passed through this city pass and marched towards Mulan City.

..................

A few hours later.

The Earl of Austin's 38,000-strong army descended on the city.

Another hour later, Earl Duke's army of 50,000 came to join Earl Austin.

An army of nearly 90,000 completely surrounded Mulan City.

Count Duke didn't ask what was going on, and there was no tardiness and staggering casualties from Earl Austin, but just stepped forward and hugged him.

Earl Austin said, "Lord Duke, the enemy is stronger than we thought, they have strange and powerful secret weapons, but this is the end of it. ”

Count Duke stood on a high place, looking down on the city of Magnolia.

"It's an ugly city, it's square everywhere, there's no room for imagination, and if all the cities in this world are like this, how boring it would be. Count Duke sighed.

Sunset.

Mulan City does look very vulgar, even fragile.

All the houses inside are two-storey buildings, square, as if they had been copied and pasted.

And the city seemed too empty, with a full 7,500-meter perimeter wall, but there was no way to fill the space with the houses inside.

"It's ugly, but it's too easy to replicate, it's too easy to spread, and if you're not careful, such a city will spread across our western continent. Earl Austin said.

"The Yellow Peril?" said the Earl of Duke, "I can't imagine what a catastrophe it would be to spread over our land, and perhaps it would mean the demise of art." ”

"Therefore, we are going to completely wipe out the city, and all the people in it will be burned to ashes and thrown into the sea, hoping that the ocean currents will carry their ashes back to the Eastern world. ”

"There is an idiom in the East, the fallen leaves return to the roots. ”

"Then let's help them return to their roots. ”

"When the sun rises tomorrow, we will officially attack the city and wipe out this ugly city once and for all. ”

"Okay, Earl Austin, according to your estimates, how many casualties will there be if we attack the enemy with 90,000 men and 2,000 men?"

"Ten thousand, or a little more. But even as many people die it is worth it, because we stop them from spreading. ”

..................

Inside Mulan City.

Zhang Chunhua, Lan Feng, Black Pearl, and Yu Luolan are in a meeting.

"Our explosives are very powerful, but we also underestimate the enemy, and we may not win this battle. Zhang Chunhua said.

Black Pearl said: "We still have six artillery pieces, although there is not much explosives left, but it is not very little. ”

Zhang Chunhua said: "Our city wall is too long, and it is too difficult for 2,000 people to defend the 7,500-meter city wall. We have too many enemies and too brave. ”

Of course they are brave, Earl Austin didn't care much about this battle at first, thinking that it was just swatting flies to death, but now it has risen to the height of the race war, even if 10,000 or 20,000 people die, Earl Austin will kill everyone in Mulan City, and will completely raze the city.

"We have too few artillery, and our explosives / charges are not very reasonable. Zhang Chunhua said: "Our grenade is very strong, but it is too sensitive, not stable enough, and needs to be transformed." ”

Zhang Chunhua has a say, because she is the only person present who has fought with the Earl of Austin.

Lan Feng, the leader of the Eastern Warrior Regiment, said: "Fortunately, Your Majesty is not here, even if we die, it doesn't matter." ”

Black Pearl slammed his fist down and said, "It's just death, what is there to be afraid of." ”

Lan Feng said: "Yes, it's a big deal. This is our queen city, even if we die to the last man, we will not back down half a step!"

Then, Lan Feng said to Zhang Chunhua: "Lord Zhang, you are the most trusted person of Your Majesty, you will not go to war tomorrow and stay in the City Lord's Mansion." Once the city is broken, you will detonate the castle lord's mansion and destroy all the secret information and all the secret weapons, so that they do not fall into the hands of the enemy. ”

Zhang Chunhua shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course you can! But I must tell you one thing, your majesty has created many incredible miracles, and he has won all the more difficult wars than this. You don't have to despair, you have to keep hope. ”

General Lan Feng, the leader of the Eastern Warrior Order, smiled: "Of course, look for hope in despair. Prepare to die, but also wait for a miracle!"

..................

The next day, the morning sun rises!

The 2,000 defenders in Mulan City all went up to the city wall, and an average soldier had to defend the 3.5-meter city wall.

Outside, the enemy's army of 90,000 was black and overwhelming, boundless.

In the face of this powerful army, Mulan City did look too fragile, and the city walls seemed too thin.

Earl Austin said, "Earl Duke?"

Count Duke said, "Everything is according to your will. ”

Still without any rhetoric, Earl Austin pulled out his sword and roared loudly: "The army will attack the city, destroy the Queen City of the East, and kill everyone inside, leaving no one behind." ”

The Battle of Mulan City has officially broken out!

..................

Meanwhile!

The ground in the northern part of the Bishio Peninsula began to tremble, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Countless birds and beasts were startled at first, and couldn't help but look towards the north, and then the birds flew up one after another, and the little beasts fled one after another.

Moments later!

From the northern horizon, a black dot appeared, two, three......

hundreds, thousands......

Shen Lang has returned.

He led eight thousand Amazonian female warriors and galloped down on tall war horses.

Although there are only eight thousand people, they are the most powerful warriors in the Western world.

Never conquered, the closest Amazonian warrior to the blood of ancient humans.

The eight thousand most powerful female knights swept south like a tide of rage.
