Chapter 136: The Owner

On the sixteenth day, Mullen pulled his army out of the barracks and set up at the eastern gate of the town of Puster, where five hundred catapults, each with five soldiers and ten men, were placed in two rows about seven hundred meters from the city wall, as a result of throwing stones from the bottom up.

When Gurlit, who was standing on the city wall, was still wondering what was the use of placing the catapult so far, Mullen had already ordered the people to carry the stones to the basket of the catapult, and the five soldiers divided their work to adjust the catapult, and with Mullen's order, five hundred large stones of seventy or eighty pounds flew towards the city wall.

Even if the huge boulder is an intermediate swordsman, he does not dare to resist, not to mention that the soldiers on the city wall are basically low-level swordsmen, although most of the stones either flew into the city or landed outside the city, and even the remaining half of the stones also smashed the soldiers on the city wall with heavy losses.

After Malen's transformation, the catapult changed from one and a half cents and a half cannonballs to one cannonball a minute, and the dense stones fell on the city like rain every minute.

Most of the soldiers defending the city were newly recruited mercenaries and adventurers from Gurlit, and due to the rapid arrival of the Maren soldiers, these recruits had not been trained in much militarization, and they were much different from the regular army in terms of discipline.

The men became disorganized in the face of the overwhelming stones, and many of the soldiers scurried around like headless flies, ignoring Gurlit's orders.

Faced with such a depraved situation, Gullitt had to let his elite troops go up to the city and drop bombs on the rebels at the head of the city, driving them into his position.

As the catapults continued to throw boulders onto the city walls, even the elite troops of Gurlitt could not stop the rout from running downward, not to mention the boulders falling from the sky.

Gurlitt began to let the catapults at the head of the city shoot stone projectiles outside the city, but not a single stone could fall to the enemy's camp, and his own catapults were reimbursed one by one by the local catapults.

Faced with a situation where he could only be beaten, Gurlitt knew that this was not the way to go on, so he drew half of his men from the four walls to gather at the east gate, and took advantage of the gap between the end of the other round of shelling and the next round of shelling, and ordered the defenders to open the city gate and personally lead the troops to charge to Mullen's camp.

When Maren saw that the gate of Puster Town was opened, he knew that Gurit was going to counterattack, and he did not let the soldiers stop the shelling, and secretly ordered the army of Warcraft to gather in front of the catapult camp, with Kodomon in front and Demon Pig behind, and the Demon Wolf on two wings, and saw Gurlit's army rush out of the city gate and rushed back towards the army that came out.

10,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 monsters fought in front of the camps of both sides, Gurlit's army was mostly infantry, and there was no formal militarization training, Kodomon and demon pigs formed a conical phalanx to pass through the enemy's military formation.

Although there are tens of thousands of people, there are boundless, but the nearly 10,000 demonic beasts are so powerful, but it takes half an hour to penetrate the enemy's formation, so that the enemy army can not care about each other.

The demon wolves on both wings relied on their mobility to go around the formation, constantly attacking the enemy troops on the edge, causing the enemy's formation to be chaotic, and providing a powerful increase for the head-to-head Kodo Beast and Demon Pig.

After the Warcraft army passed through the formation, the front team changed to the rear team, and then interspersed with the enemy camp that had just been closed, so that the army that had just been collected by Gullit was scattered again, and again and again made Glitter unable to collect the army.

Seeing this situation, Gullitt already understood that if he didn't return to the city, there would be a danger of annihilation, so he had to order the army to retreat, but tens of thousands of soldiers who had not undergone much formal training made the order to retreat into a rout, and those middle and senior swordsmen who were proud of their high skills were unwilling to flee like lost dogs, but in the face of the oncoming demonic beasts and the ensuing rout, their own bravery had no effect on the less, so they had to follow the rout of the army.

Seeing that the enemy army had been defeated in only two or three hours, Maren Yan could let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and chased the rout army to the city gate only to be shot back by the soldiers on the city wall with bows and arrows, if it were not for the fact that Malen was afraid of hurting his own army and made the catapult stop shooting at the city wall so that the enemy could go up to the city wall to counterattack, maybe this time he could follow the open city gate to attack the city of Pust Town.

At this time, it was already time to eat noon, and the catapult had been launched continuously for three or four hours, not only were the people tired, but the catapult needed more maintenance, so Mullen ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

Due to the small number of troops, Mullen only built the large camp on an open field only about three miles from the east gate of Pust Town, and did not besiege the city, allowing Pust Town to communicate with the outside world.

After lunch, Mullen summoned all the officers above the brigade commander to the commander's tent for a meeting, two commanders. Ten commanders and twenty brigade commanders lined up on either side of the tent, and Mullen sat in the center on the chair.

"Although there are 20,000 people in Puster Town, they are all some rabble, and the city is broken today." Looking at the officers on both sides, Mullen continued: "In the afternoon I will order the catapults to attack the east gate with all their might, and the first and second songs of the guards will first fill the moat outside the city, and then lead the ladders and well railings to storm the east gate. ”

The commander of the first and second songs of the guard immediately came out and replied: "The last general is ordered!" ”

Maren waved his hand and let them retreat to the station, and then said: "If the battle situation at the east gate is urgent, Gurlitt will definitely send soldiers from the four city gates to support, Zacaraias, you will lead the sixth building and two thousand horned bee beasts to quietly go around the south gate, as long as you find that Gurit has drawn the troops of the south gate, let the horned bee beast raid the city gate, open the city gate from the inside, and you will quickly seize the south gate with a large army." ”

Zacharaias immediately stepped out and replied: "The last general is commanded!" ”

After Zachares returned to the station, Maren then ordered: "Anna, you lead the remaining Warcraft army to line up behind the catapult formation, as long as Zachares succeeds in attacking the south gate, you will lead the Warcraft army to quickly circle the city, meet Zachareas at the south gate and storm the city, and destroy all resistance forces." ”

Anna, dressed in military uniform, immediately stepped out and replied: "The last general is ordered!" ”

"Good!" Mullen stood up and said, "Let's all go." ”

"Yes!" The generals walked out of the tent one by one, reorganized the soldiers and began to attack the city.

Soon, the east gate of Puster Town was again filled with the sound of the bombardment of catapults, and after a few rounds the soldiers of the first and second tracks of the Guards, led by the commander of the thousands, rushed towards the moat with sandbags on their shoulders.

After several rounds of catapult strikes, there were not many soldiers on the city wall, only a small number of soldiers remained in the watchtower on the city gate, and most of the soldiers who had received the morning lesson were all hidden in the hiding hole under the city wall.

The soldiers in the watchtower saw that the army outside the city was filling the moat, and immediately sounded the alarm, and the soldiers in pairs were forced to come out of the hiding hole and climb the city wall.

Due to the shelling of catapults, it was difficult for the soldiers in the city to lift their heads, so the counterattack was a little weak, and the sparse arrows did not have much effect on the soldiers who filled the moat.

It didn't take long for the two soldiers to fill the moat, and then carried the ladder and pushed the well fence towards the city wall, and advanced to the city wall very wide.

At this time, the catapults outside the city were no longer of much use, and in order to prevent their own people from accidentally injuring themselves, they had already stopped shooting after the besieging army came into contact with the city walls.

After the shelling just now, the defenders, who only had more than 5,000 people, damaged 5 or 600 people when they sniped the troops outside the city to fill the moat, and their morale was about to drop to freezing point.

The Guards were worthy of being the elite in the hands of Mullen, and it was easy to attack the city of more than 4,000 defenders with an army of 2,000 men, and the defenders were defeated and retreated, and soon gained a foothold on the city walls.

Just as Mullen thought, Gurlitt saw that the eastern city was in danger, and hurriedly mobilized 3,000 troops from each of the other three gates, trying to drive Mullen's army off the city wall in one go.

Seeing this situation, Mullen hurriedly ordered the third and fourth lines of the Guards to press up on all fronts, hoping to support the enemy forces supporting the east gate on the east gate.

At this time, Zachareas, who was hiding at the south gate, received the news that the soldiers supporting the east gate from the south gate were being dragged, and immediately ordered two thousand horned bees to swarm and attack the city gate.

The sudden arrival of the horned bee beast stunned the defenders of the south gate, Mullen's army has not attacked the south gate, making the guards of the south gate empty, seeing the galloping horned bee beast can not organize an effective counterattack for a while, so that the horned bee beast occupies the city gate in a very short time, and quickly opens the city gate.

Zacharaias launched a total when the horned bee beast seized the gate, and the five thousand officers and soldiers rushed to the southern city with a cloud ladder, and before they could rush to the city wall, they saw that the horned bee beast had opened the city gate, so they all threw down the cloud ladder and swarmed through the city gate.

When the horned bee beast attacked, the defenders of the south gate were almost unable to hold it, and now Zacharaias led the army to rush and collapse the entire defenders in the city.

Anna got the news that the south gate had been captured in the first time, and quickly led the remaining demonic beasts around the wall of the east gate to the south gate.

Standing on the city wall, Gurlitt had been keeping an eye on the most combat-effective army of demonic beasts outside the city, and when he saw them running towards the south gate under the leadership of a human woman, he knew that it was going to be bad.

It was time for the survival of the company, and Gurlitt had no scruples about preserving his descendants, so he hurriedly ordered the 2,800 cavalry who had been preparing at the east gate to rescue the south gate.

When Anna arrived at the south gate, the cavalry from the east gate had just arrived, and by this time Zacharaias had already chased the defenders of the south gate like ducks, and many soldiers had already crouched on the ground and surrendered.

Zacharias looked at the two cavalry who had arrived from outside the city and from the east gate, and quickly ordered the soldiers who were taking prisoners to get out of the way.

These two cavalry teams that had fought once ten days ago collided again, one was an army of monsters who only obeyed the orders of their masters, and the other was the most loyal followers who took loyalty to the Baggins family as their own responsibility.

However, after all, Gurlit's cavalry was less than 3,000 people, and in the face of 9,000 Demon Beast troops, even if he had the will to see death as home, he could not change the outcome of defeat.

In order to prevent Mullen's army from entering the city, Gullit's cavalry continued to attack the Warcraft army with inferior forces, but each attack cost hundreds of soldiers' lives, in exchange for a slight delay in Anna's march into the city.

However, the performance of these cavalry of Gurlitt deeply shook the hearts of Anna and Zachareas, and made Anna's Zacharaias awe-inspired.

The war is so cruel, even if you revere him in a thousand ways, you are still the enemy, and you still have to divide your life and death, but in two hours, 2,800 cavalrymen have not survived.

In fact, these cavalrymen didn't know, let alone two hours, even if they bought Gurit two days, it wouldn't change the outcome of Gurlit's defeat.

When Gurlitt realized that he had no chance of winning, he could no longer run, and taking advantage of the decisive battle between the two cavalry teams, Zacharaias had already ordered his soldiers to capture the west gate and the north gate.

Gurlit's soldiers at the east gate were certainly three times as many as the siege soldiers of Malen, but the loss of the south gate had made these three times the enemy soldiers unwilling to fight and threw themselves into the battle.

Gullit, who had already gone away, fled with only 200 soldiers to escort the town lord of Puster, Feo Pston, towards the west gate, but was stopped by the defenders arranged by Zacharaias at the west gate.

Soon the east gate was also opened by the surrendering soldiers, and Mullen entered the town of Pust surrounded by the guards, and while ordering the soldiers to receive prisoners from Pust and maintain the law and order of Pust Town, he led his army to the town of Pust Lord's Mansion.

The escape of Lord Feo Puster caused chaos in the Lord's Mansion, and the servants of the Lord's Mansion desperately looted the valuable things in the Mansion, and their greed led them to turn a blind eye to the soldiers who invaded the Lord's Mansion.

Mullen ordered the soldiers to gather the servants who were looting everywhere, but he did not expect to be attacked by the servants, and the servants who had already snatched red eyes saw a soldier approaching him, thinking that he was going to rob his belongings, so he took the lead in attacking the soldiers.

The soldiers who were attacked were furious, and they did not give politeness to these frantic servants, and struck the servants who dared to attack them with their swords, and many of them were broken all over their bodies.

After taking over the town lord's mansion in an all-round way, Mullen immediately ordered the scribes who followed the army to sort out and accept the legal books, mountains and rivers, household registration classics and other documents of Pust Town, so that he could control Pust Town as soon as possible.

Now that the general situation has been decided, Malen is waiting for military reports from all over the country in the lobby of the front hall of the town lord's mansion, and has received seven or eight reports of the smooth operation of the war in a row, but Ximen is still in full swing.

Relieved, Malen hurriedly set off to check at the West Gate, it turned out that an enemy general was dueling with Zachareas, and the soldiers on both sides were standing outside to help, and for a while the shouts were all over the sky, and those who didn't know thought that the large army was fighting.
