The fire of the 7-pounder city defense cannon not only crushed the archers who had already become frightened birds, but even the large catapults that had been painstakingly transported and built with great difficulty had been destroyed one after another.

The heavy solid iron ball is very powerful, compared to the stone bullet fired by the cannonball, especially the power of direct fire, as long as it rubs against the wooden structure of the trebuchet, it can easily destroy the wooden structure as a support, whether it is a hard wooden stick or a bracket specially equipped with iron bars, it can not withstand a whistling solid iron ball.

But no one cares, because the crowd of people who were still attacking like a tide has now begun to retreat, no, it is better to directly define it as a rout, not so much a retreat.

A group of defeated soldiers have lost the ability to continue fighting, and the panic effect of the group permeates everyone's hearts, even those noble warlords with pride and honor are already in the group of defeated soldiers, fleeing in panic with the figure of everyone fleeing.

No one can maintain high morale under the double baptism of flintlock pistols and artillery, especially with the sound of cannons and gunfire one after another, the figures of their comrades-in-arms falling one by one have completely crushed the belief in their hearts.

Even not far away, the generals who were still commanding the battle, with the help of his attendants, began to flee towards the southern coastline on horseback, taking with them the representatives of the dozens of nobles and the only remaining more than two hundred cavalry, like headless flies, abandoning the scattered troops and fleeing on their own.

But on Cape Mountain, Levi was still holding the telescope in his hand, and Green and Wilmot beside him were also holding their binoculars, at the level of his line of sight, looking at the rout in the distance that had completely lost its original neat formation after it dispersed.

Levi's face also had a little regret, but the smile on the corner of his mouth also showed that he was already in a little relaxed in his current mood, and at the same time, he turned his head and looked through the telescope at the sea outside the east coast, the sailors of Gray Mist City who were still struggling in the water, and the battleship that had not yet completely sunk, and couldn't help but exhale deeply.

"They failed."

The voice was calm, and there was not much ecstasy after the victory, for Levi this may have been a long-expected result, a natural victory.

A group of backward troops in the Middle Ages, still with traditional arrogance and arrogance, wanted to attack Cape Town, which Levi had already arranged, by ordinary means, but they also looked down on the modern firearms civilization of the earth too much, and they were too whimsical, and thought that Cape Town was the ruins that had been abandoned for nearly ten years.

This is a great victory caused by information asymmetry, and it is also a tragic battle caused by the gap between the times, and for Levi, this is a very firm first step in this world!

"Your Majesty, the defenders on the walls are asking if there is a need for pursuit?"

And on the rugged stone road of the hill, the sturdy town militia also ran up quickly, and their panting appearance could not hide the excited look on their faces, and after respectfully saluting the three of Levi, they also said quickly: "The guys on the city wall are ready, waiting for your orders!" ”

"Chase?" Levi subconsciously glanced at the scattered Gray Mist City infantry who were fleeing on the east coast, and the chain mail and weapons and shields that he discarded were also everywhere, almost all the way away, for fear that his speed would be slowed down.

A group of routs can't tell what to do at all, the right choice and the reason of the head have no chance with them, maybe after settling down, think back and be able to distinguish all this at present, but with the appearance of the rout now, it is obvious that they only know how to escape, and the farther they run, the better!

The walls of Cape were like an abyss and a hell to them, and they left their most fearful moments here, and perhaps in their lifetimes, what happened today is an eternal nightmare. 【】

"Two groups of militia are allowed to go out of the city to pursue, without asking for the killing or wounding of the enemy, and the purpose is mainly to expel them."

Nodding slightly, Levi also instructed the town militia who was the herald: "Tell our citizens to organize a group of people to help clean up the battlefield, collect all our loot, and make our hands and feet sharper." ”

"Understood." The herald nodded immediately, saluted, turned around and walked towards the town below the hill, and with Levi's order, the town militia on the entire city wall, as well as the citizens who were still carrying various tools to guard, also took action.

"We need a cavalry unit, and we won't feel embarrassed at this time."

Wilmot also exhaled slowly, although he was a general who was proficient in artillery, his knowledge of land warfare had undoubtedly increased a lot since he became Minister of War.

Looking at the scattered escape, like ants without a clue, the corners of Wilmot's mouth finally showed a little disdain, reached out to tidy up his wrist, and also turned his head and shrugged at Levi and said, "It seems that even if we have an encounter with those guys in the field, their consequences will be quite miserable." ”

"They are quite arrogant, they never take us seriously, you must know that they look down on us from the bottom of their hearts, because in their eyes, we are not qualified."

Green also smiled lightly, his calm face was more relaxed and freehand at this time, twisted his stiff neck, and at the same time swept the Gray Mist City sailors who were gradually appearing on the beach with the waves on the sea, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more and more high: "However, now we have great qualifications to negotiate with those guys." ”

"The negotiations are only temporary, and we need to digest this victory."

Levi nodded, agreeing with Green's words, but he still took a deep breath, and the sea breeze with a faint fishy smell also made him feel refreshed, closed his eyes, and spoke for a while: "This must be fast." ”

"It will be resolved soon." As the chief minister, Green had already drawn up plans with Levi in advance, including going to Grey Mist City after the victory in the battle, discussing with the group of nobles, whether it was compensation or opening treaty ports, and signing trade agreements, all of which would be quickly put on the agenda.

It was an impeccable victory, and Levi himself suffered nothing at all, but for the governor of Grey Mist City, his mouth was almost shattered, and his prestige was crushed.

The most critical reason is that the regular army dispatched by Gray Mist City is almost all the troops that the governor can directly control, and according to the previous combat environment, this force of only 2,500 people can indeed be called elite, and can walk sideways throughout the Great Silver Plate Island, wantonly conquering any enemy.

However, they were annihilated under the city walls by Levi's modern troops, and the rest of the people also threw away everything they could, all of them collapsed on the sandy land of the east coast, and they also lost their honor.

The two sides are at the negotiating table, this is the confidence of Levi's side, for any unequal treaty to sign, a battle that is enough to shake the other party's confidence, and enough for the signing of any unequal treaty, and for the Gray Mist City side, this failed battle is deadly enough.

The aristocrats who are about to move, they all have their own ghosts, and they are barely pressed into a collective, but in fact, they all shirk each other for their own interests, and this defeat has completely caused a huge rift in their connection.

Levi and his Cape Town, the road to rise has been completely smooth, and the Spanish Empire has officially entered the world stage, at least in this big silver pan island and the North Trumming Sea, Levy, who has just won a victory, can already be called one of the strongest forces at present, just because of his troops.

Although Levi could not continue to launch another campaign in a short period of time in order to maintain the results of the battle, the defeated Governor's forces must have been overwhelmed, and it was difficult to maintain the current situation.

The nobles in Grey Mist City are not just limited to Grey Mist City, most of them have their own caravans and trade, if some nobles want to, they can even directly abandon Grey Mist City, or even leave the North Roaring Sea, this is just a very easy thing for them.

For example, the private armies of some nobles are still under their control, and when the elite regular army of the governor is defeated, it is impossible to imagine what the nobles will do.

"Big silver coins, magic items, trade agreements, open treaty ports."

After thinking about it slightly, Levi also turned his head to Green next to him and said, "You're welcome, in order to maintain stability in a short period of time, Gray Mist City will meet most of our requirements." ”

The corners of his mouth curled, and Levi also continued softly: "They don't think it's a tragic defeat, maybe they also think it's the commander's stupidity, but we don't need to care about this, as long as they can digest this victory, they can't be considered a threat." ”

Slowly clenching his fists, Levi's expression was also slightly solemn, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the sheriff's residence, the body of old Morton was still parked in the coffin, and he couldn't help but exhale, and said lightly: "Now, you can rest assured." ”

He once said that he would give Morton a gift for burial, and the rout of the Grey Mist City troops may be a consolation for this old guy who refuses to admit defeat, because the rule of Grey Mist City has been severely damaged by him, and even the current Cape Town has gradually grown into a bloodthirsty shark that devours everything!
