Chapter 63: Take Hegig with ease
When Kislev's fleet came to a halt at the mouth of the Rick River, twenty-five large merchant ships had to enter the Rick River in turn, and could easily become a target for artillery on both sides, for the sake of unnecessary losses, Albrand, the lord of Hawke, and Oldic, the lord of Nord, decided to land around Earhart, Rick.
Yes, Kislev's fleet is full of armies led by the province of Midden that are ready to overthrow the Roald family. Twenty-two giant merchant ships hid ten full armies, 50 teams of 6,000 soldiers, 50 teams of sword and shield soldiers 6,000 people, 20 team of halberd soldiers 2,400 people, 20 teams of giant swordsmen 2,400 people, 20 teams of crossbowmen 1,800 people, 10 teams of pistol knights, 10 teams of imperial knights, 10 teams of pioneer knights a total of 1,08 people, and finally 10 teams of mortars, forty guns, a total of more than 20,000 troops, this is Boris's confidence, although they are all low-level troops, but the number of troops has completely exploded the current empire, Of course, most of these armies are forcibly recruited, and as long as they can defeat Aldolph and kill Emperor Karl, then no matter how many lives are spent to fill Boris, he will not care.
In addition to the army, there are dozens of the strongest witch hunters in Midan Province who came with the army, they are the only force that can fight the mages head-on, and what really pushes the merchant ships into the waterline is the last siege equipment to be transported down, hundreds of siege towers, dozens of siege vehicles, they are the real weapons of siege.
Ten full formations, more than 20,000 people made Albrand and O'Doric swell unprecedentedly, and they went directly around the edge of the important town of Elhart, without fighting or shouting, and walked over so arrogantly, everyone understood that as long as Aldolph was defeated, then the other towns would be all scum. Moreover, at present, unless the armies of Zhang Hao, Robert and Walkma are all gathered together, this is not a level at all, especially the imperial army that is now taking the elite route, a few tanks + griffin knights + musketeers + artillery and the like may have a few hundred people, but this has liberated a lot of strong labor force to enter production and develop the economy, so the empire that occupies the best land has developed rapidly without shortage of food and money.
At this time, when he learned that the army was pressing, the atmosphere in Aldolph was not very tense, plus two city defense armies, an elite legion and an ordinary full legion, a total of four legions were deployed in an orderly manner, this was the first time Aldolph defended the battle, the older residents couldn't remember clearly, there were sneak attacks, some broke out from the inside, and this is the first time everyone has heard of it for at least a few days, but the army of 20,000 people, this number is indeed a lot.
Zhang Hao knew that Boris might be in the shadow of Aldolph, so he didn't bring any of the strongest mages in the Academy of Magic, in this world of swords and magic, it was extremely terrifying for a legendary-level mage to really start a surge, but he didn't see Herman slaughtering a city alone, not to mention, a large army of low-level dead would rather let the elite led by Kreuz not even touch him, and in the end, he was seriously injured by the support of Walkma. Moreover, there are not only mages in the city, but also battle priests and imperial captains, and their individual strength far exceeds that of ordinary soldiers, they will be lord harvesters together, and with various blessings, I believe that even the legendary level will not last long, but war is never one or two people who can decide the outcome of the war, even if the chaotic eternal god choice is thrown among these 20,000 people, he also has to kneel, so just looking at the data, the two sides are actually five or five.
——————
Compared to the battlefield of Aldolph, Zhang Hao's current situation is very easy, when a silver-white signal flare flew in Hejig City, Zhang Hao rode his wool and flew towards the city wall first, doing various extreme postures, taking the first step to attract long-range firepower on the city wall.
At this moment, high in the sky, you can see that the battle priests and witch hunters who had entered the city a few days earlier under the protection of the deception spell of the gray mage had firmly occupied the three city gates, which made it difficult for the defenders who were basically all on the city walls to take care of both ends, the front was the upcoming siege tower, and below was a group of highly skilled officials, and there was a giant beast flying around in the sky, whether to stay or go.
And the defense tower facilities on the city wall were under the continuous bombardment of mages and artillery one after another under the corresponding protection, which made the siege towers almost undamaged on the city wall.
Zhang Hao saw that the siege towers were set up on the city wall one after another, and after opening various halos on the wool line, he plunged into the queue of long-range crossbowmen, the huge body of the wool line can sweep a circle of people with a quick turn, and the powerful limbs with sharp claws like sharp blades, even slapping and cutting, almost a few movements, this team of crossbowmen almost died. Driven by the huge power of its hind limbs, even if he didn't fly, he took Zhang Hao to pounce left and right on the city wall, not seeking to kill the enemy but to disrupt the formation, and the enemy on the city wall could not effectively connect the enemy for a while.
In addition to the huge perimeter wall of the city, as a city fortress, Hegig also has an inner city in the city, the fortress city, although its walls are narrower than the outer walls, but its firepower is concentrated, and the defensive area is relatively small, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But alas, Hedjig's army simply did not have so many people to complete the defense of the city.
When the steam tank and the rest of the infantry rushed into the inner city and bombarded the green key skull banner of the city fortress, the defenders of Hedgig finally couldn't resist the pressure and surrendered, although there were not many people left.
The civilians of the city did not participate in the war, no matter who was in power, the empire would not become, as long as it was not a crisis for the survival of the race, people without faith could not convince themselves to voluntarily give their lives for the sake of others, so when death claws entered the city, they received neither flowers nor rotten eggs.
The Battle of Hedgig did not last long, and the losses were negligible for the besieging side, but the bodies of the fallen soldiers had to be collected and brought back to Tarabeheim first, and then returned to the martyrs' cemetery in Aldolph after the battle.
The province of Hawk is a small province of the empire, except for the capital Heji, which is to the north, a brass fortress hidden in the mountains, a fortress city that is no less defensive than a normal capital, unlike a fortress in the city, the city of the brass fortress is in the fortress.
"Your Highness, there are two things! But it's not a good thing. Chrissy in the image looks a little haggard, and the battle hidden in the sunlight is no easier than the battle on the surface.
"Say, Your Excellency Chrissy, no matter how difficult it is, we have to face it" Zhang Hao was covered in the blood of the enemy, Chrissy was tired, and both of them knew that now was not the time to comfort each other.
"At least eight full troops posing as Kislev's envoys landed near Earhat through Marienburg."
"Boris's army is out? I need specific values for Lord Chrissy. ”
"There are too many enemy light cavalry, and there are a lot of witch hunters hiding in the field, and our people can no longer observe from a distance, so they can only follow from a distance, so it is difficult to determine the specific value."
"What about the other one?"
"Boris successfully crossed the river with two elite troops and a thousand white wolf knights, I don't know if the target is Tarabeim or ......"
