As soon as she stepped inside the city of Assras, Zelda felt that something was not right. If there was a riot, the city would have been on heightened alert, but now there was not a single figure on the street except for a few soldiers who had opened the gates, and although Drum himself might have been too busy suppressing the riots to get away, he should at least send someone to meet him and explain the situation so that he could take countermeasures. These anomalies slowed Zelda and ordered the soldiers to immediately take control of the gates, and strictly forbid anyone to enter or leave.

At this moment, suddenly a gong sounded, and then there were murderous sounds all around. Dozens of soldiers appeared above the city gates, constantly smashing stones and timber.

Worst! Hit the trick! Zelda immediately understood. If the other party wants to block the city gate with wood and stones, then their own troops will be blocked in the city! He was just about to turn his horse's head and head towards the city gate, when he heard the sound of a bowstring rattling, and countless arrows were shot at his troops! Zelda hurriedly drew his sword to block the two arrows that shot at him, but his subordinates did not react so quickly, and hundreds of people fell to the ground in an instant.

"Get out of town!" Zelda ordered loudly, but the first half of the army was in a hurry to retreat towards the city gate, and the second half had not had time to hear the order, and it became chaotic for a while, when the second wave of arrows came again, and the wails of the Yaqui army came one after another, and the surviving people were even more anxious, and they rushed towards the city gate regardless of the formation of the formation.

Zelda secretly complained in her heart, running towards the city gate in such a chaotic manner, wouldn't the overly dense crowd just become a good target for the enemy? But by this time, the troops had lost control, and only a few pro-guards were able to keep calm and put up their shields to protect Zelda. At this time, the stones and wood on the top of the city poured down like rain. Most of the soldiers who rushed towards the city gate were crushed to death by stones and wood, and the rest were also broken bones. They couldn't move, but the soldiers behind continued to pour out. The wounded soldiers were trampled on broken ribs, the broken bones were inserted into the internal organs and died, and then new wounded people were born, and the tragedy was repeated again. As a result, the gate of the city was quickly covered with stones, wood, and the corpses of the Yaki army. And the opponent's arrows have not stopped during this period, and the soldiers who have not had time to leave the city have been shot to death one by one, and the panicked people are increasing by the moment, and the chaos is becoming more and more uncontrollable.

By this time, there was very little left of Zelda's own soldiers, and their shields were full of arrows. Zelda's mount was also killed by an arrow, and he had to shield himself and run towards the city gate under the cover of his own soldiers. At this time, an arrow hit Zelda's back through the protection of her own soldiers, and Zelda stumbled and was shot another arrow in the leg! Zelda couldn't support one and fell to the ground, and the soldier next to him who wanted to pull him up was shot through the neck by an arrow before he touched his hand, and the corpse was dismembered and pressed on Zelda's body, and the arrow on his back was immediately pushed two inches inside! Zelda spurted out a mouthful of blood and immediately lost consciousness.

Almost all of the 2,000 Yaki troops who lost their commander were shot dead at the city gates. Less than 30 people narrowly escaped, and the battle was extremely miserable. But Wei Song's appetite was not limited to these two thousand people, he immediately sent troops to attack the three thousand people left behind by Zelda!

In the middle of the night, the Yaki soldiers who had fled back brought back news of their defeat. The Yaki army panicked. The soldiers were leaderless, so they had to elect Barcrom, the eldest of the three commanders, to act as commander temporarily. Before the Yaki army could recover from their shock and take action, Wei Song's troops launched a night attack. The demoralized Yaqui army soon collapsed completely. The soldiers scrambled for their lives, trampling on each other, killing and wounding countless people. Barcrom died in the chaos, and neither did the other two commanders. Until after dawn. Only about 700 Yaki soldiers were able to escape the encirclement, and as many as 2,100 were killed in the battle.

After listening to the scouts' report, Ulysses was dizzy. Following the death of his third son Sigis in battle, the fourth son Zelda also sacrificed his life for the country, and his elderly father lost his beloved son, needless to say about the grief and indignation in his heart. Even worse was not the fall of the city of Essras, but the almost total annihilation of Zelda's 5,000 soldiers. Now there are less than 5,000 soldiers left who actually have the ability to fight, and the remaining 10,000 people are almost unarmed. With such a force, it is unknown whether he can take back Ruer City, and besides, Li Tianhao's troops have already approached Kuba City, so he naturally will not sit idly by and watch himself attack Heluer City. The actual strength of the enemy army has already surpassed his own, and if he cannot take the Ruhr City, his army may be surrounded and annihilated by the other party outside the city of Helu.

What other options are there than attacking Horur City? Ulysses lay on his bed and looked at the ceiling, lost in thought. There are 2,000 men of Senas in Helur City, Li Tianhao's troops are active outside Kuba City, and it is expected that the number will not be less than 3,000, and the thief army in Essrath City will not be less than 5,000, adding up to more than 10,000?????? Suddenly, Ulysses had a flash of inspiration, if the thief army concentrated 10,000 men in these three directions, and the other main forces were all in Syllis City to resist Vandalus, then Zaran, who was heading towards Esrath City, would not have 7,000 men at hand at all! That must be a bluffing force! And Kadum City must be extremely empty at this time!

Ulysses sat up and pondered the question. If you can quickly conquer Kadum, then you may be able to find a ferry to go to Hykum City downstream, if not, you can consider seeking refuge in the Duchy of Palchi from there, and if you take a step back, you can escape the pursuit of the enemy army by crossing the Naura River, and then it is possible to return to Hycomb City after a grueling march in the wilderness. This is obviously a much better chance of success than going to Horur City, so how do you fool the thieves into attacking Kadum City?

After deliberating for a long time, Ulysses summoned his two sons, Qusay and Homan, and told him what he had planned. Then he said with a solemn face: "Now we must discuss a way to get rid of the enemy forces outside Kuba City, and go all out to capture Kadum City!" (To be continued......)
