In just two hours, the war was over.

Most of Gargo's soldiers were not killed or even wounded, and hundreds of the three hundred and fifty cavalry sat on the ground in a daze, still not freed from the fear of the bombs.

The infantry was pursued all the way and simply surrendered.

It has to be said that the first appearance of firearms is amazing, and its amazement comes not only from lethality, but also from deterrence.

The sound of explosions like thunder completely shredded the arrogance of Gargo's elite soldiers, so that their powerful military power could not be used in the slightest.

Luo Lan stepped into the chariot and looked out at the battlefield in the distance, and in the smoke of gunpowder, Barrett's guards were collecting the enemy's weapons.

It was a one-sided grind.

However, due to their own inexperience, they also suffered a lot of losses. More than half of the third rocket army was knocked over by horses, and the soldiers behind were also affected, and their own positions were also wailing.

"Your Highness, we have more than fifty wounded, and the death toll is more than ten. When the cavalry collided, the rocket troops in the rear did not listen to the order, they were all in chaos, trampled on each other and fled, and even the launchers were thrown to the ground. ”

Karl inspected the position and reported, his words furious. He was a general, and he couldn't tolerate his soldiers being so timid and afraid.

Luo Lan said: "Merit outweighs fault, punishment should be rewarded at the same time, this is their first time fighting, and it is not bad to have this kind of performance." ”

Luo Lan will not tolerate the timidity of the soldiers, but he will not forget their merits, this thousand peasant army is really not easy.

Karl said he understood, and went to reassure the soldiers.

Charles rode back from the battlefield with a little more black ash on his face.

"Your Highness, they all surrendered, and the officers didn't resist, and said that everyone didn't want to go north in the first place, they were all forced by Gargo, I don't think they look like they are lying......"

Charles is pleading with the soldiers of the Southern Pradesh, Luo Lan didn't know his careful thoughts, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Southern Pradesh is already a poor relative, as soon as Gargo dies, the people will naturally follow the rich relatives, I want these soldiers." ”

Charles was overjoyed, he was afraid that Luo Lan would embarrass these soldiers.

In fact, Luo Lan was also happy in his heart, the soldiers of the southern state were of extremely high quality, they had been trained by Gargo for two years, and they had crushed the northern soldiers in all aspects, and it was better to take them all for their own use this time.

Luo Lan deliberately went to check on a soldier, each soldier turned pale and frightened, and when he saw Luo Lan coming, his hands were shaking in fright.

They stood or sit, like exiled miners, without the heroism of soldiers.

Luo Lan was silent, and he asked Barrett to bring one of the surviving generals.

The general was the commander of the infantry, named Jack, a tall and mighty man, who was about to catch up with Barrett.

Barrett looked at him very unpleasantly, because this Jack was still a little calm, and everyone else was stupid by the bomb, he was fine, and he was still thinking about what the bomb was in a panic.

"Get on your knees!" Barrett kicked Jack, and Jack was powerless to resist and knelt in front of Luo Lan.

Luo Lan looked down at him and asked flatly, "What do you seem to be thinking about?" ”

Jack looked up, and under his long, messy hair was a pair of large black eyes.

"What's that?" Jack said hoarsely, his words not without fear.

"You want to use it?" Luo Lan smiled.

Jack was stunned, and Charles sighed, "We are all people of Phuket Island, but there is a war, which is really not what I want. Jack, you only have two choices now, either go back and be a farmer, or continue to be a soldier to defend Phuket Island. ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Jack, but also the decadent soldiers nearby pricked up their ears.

"What do you mean? Want to recruit us? A startled Jack asked.

"Yes, from today onwards, the southern state no longer exists, and below the Middle Island mountain range, it is the southern province."

——————

Five days later, after the aftermath of the war was completed, Luo Lan personally led his troops south and arrived at the city of Gargo.

Here, there are still soldiers guarding it, and the power of the Gargo Palace is still well preserved, with at least three hundred city guards on the city walls, and their bows and arrows are aimed at the outside of the city.

The inhabitants of the city had learned of Gargo's defeat and hid in their houses all day long, fearing that they would be implicated.

Luo Lan tightened his horse's rope and looked up at the towering walls of Gargo.

The inner and outer walls of the city are well defended, and in addition to the city guards, there is also a cavalry left behind.

"Who's guarding the city?" Luo Lan rode forward a few steps and shouted towards the city wall.

The soldiers on the city wall looked at him nervously, not daring to let go of their arrows easily.

Behind Luo Lan, there were a hundred rocket troops, who carried canister launchers, protected by cavalry, staring coldly at the city wall.

After the Battle of Nakajima, these rocket armies finally had the confidence, and now it was their turn to attack the city.

"It's me, Marquis of Rose, I, the two hundred nobles of Gargo City, are guarding the city, if you want to take the city, you have to weigh it clearly, just with your people, you can't even break the outer city!"

A man with a black beard appeared, probably in his forties, wearing a black hat and a look of panic on his face.

"What are you? Still holding on to Ciudad Gargo? Surrender or die! The grumpy Barrett scolded, and many knights drew their swords.

However, the Marquis of Ross did not pay any attention to it, and he shrank his head and disappeared.

He is very confident in Gargo City, which was built with the help of Nanshan Kingdom, and is claimed to be able to resist 10,000 elite soldiers, Luo Lan only brought a few hundred soldiers, how can he break through Gargo City?

Luo Lan's face was very calm, and Charles behind him said in a low voice: "The nobles in the city are playing ghosts, they must be delaying time to transport their belongings, and when the treasure is gone, they will naturally run away, either to Nanshan Country or to Nanyuan Ling, should we wait for a few days?" ”

Charles saw it very clearly, these nobles did not have such a high temperament, they would stick to the city of Gargo, they just wanted time to transport the treasure, and then leave the southern state to go to the mainland to live a fancy life.

"Don't wait, inform Meade, give me a bang."

Luo Lan sneered, the nobles in the north left and took away all the valuable things, but Luo Lan was angry. Now that he has the strength, how can he sit idly by and watch the nobles of the southern states do the same?

"Okay, inform the warship, get close to the coast!"

An order was issued, and the northern fishing boats, which had taken control of the ports of the southern state, immediately set out to sea and soon reached the sea lane.

Here, a huge warship blocked the channel, which was full of trebuchets and explosive bombs.

Mead received an order and shouted to the fishing boats cruising nearby: "Keep an eye on the Southern State and the Nanshan Country, no one is allowed to pass by!" ”

After noon, the sun became more intense.

Luo Lan and his party have been outside the city for two hours.

The soldiers on the city walls went from initial panic to calm and then disdain.

They decided that Luo Lan did not dare to attack the city, and it was the northern soldiers who died when they attacked the city.

The nobles in the city also breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to transport the treasure to the port.

However, half an hour after noon, a loud noise was heard.

On the seaward side of Gargo, strange black stones crossed the shore and slammed into the walls, then exploded.

The impregnable walls crumbled in an instant, the whole city trembled, and the defenders, who could not understand the situation, screamed in fright, thinking that the gods had sent a heavenly punishment.

Luo Lan looked at the bombed city of Gargo, turned back to Charles and smiled: "You contact Gandalf, you will be the governor of the southern state in the future, can you do it alone?" ”

"It works." Charles nodded firmly.

"Alright, I'm going back to the north, Bina and Aiman should be back."

Luo Lan left with more than a dozen soldiers, and behind him was the terrifying sound of explosions and the smoke and dust in the sky.
