The strongest castles were captured from within. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The war began in the slave market, and the Mamluks with rudimentary weapons were the first to storm the arsenal, and the soldiers were mobilized to the city gates, not expecting that anyone would attack the arsenal, and there would be so many!

"Do you hear anything?" Said the guard of the arsenal.

"It seems to be the sound of running, the sound of many, many people running, a sea of people!" The other guard looked up at the Mamluks surging around the corner! The whole person was scared silly!

"Quick! Close the door! "The guards hurriedly closed the door, but it was too late! The moment they closed, a Mamluk forced his arm in, blocking the door with his humerus.

It was at this time that the Mamluks forcibly pulled the door open. Storm the arsenal.

The Mamluks were mad and unarmed, fighting with their bare hands, and even using their bodies to resist attacks, allowing their allies to kill the Kalad soldiers, even if they were killed by swords.

Under the disproportionate crowd tactics, the battle-savvy Mamluks seized the arsenal and armed themselves, and the armed Mamluks had the opportunity to storm the city gates in turn!

It is difficult to attack the gates from the outside, but it is much easier to attack from the inside. Ordinary Karad soldiers were no match for the well-trained Mamluks, especially when the Mamluks appeared from within the city, the momentum seriously shocked the morale of the soldiers who could defend the city.

"Oh no! The enemy army has entered the city, soldiers, resist it! "There was chaos on the walls, and the Mamluks under the walls were red-eyed, regardless of the shots of bows and arrows overhead, and they were not afraid of death to seize the gates.

There were not many defenders at the city gates, most of them hit the walls. The Mamluks sent some of them to block the passages on the city walls, and the rest of the people frantically stormed the city gates! The defenders of the city gate were rapidly defeated, and in less than an hour, the city gate was lost.

Outside the city, the Sultan of Ezhar waited quietly for news. He had absolute confidence in the Mamluks, and since the Mamluks had been sent, they would definitely succeed.

Sure enough, the sound of a fight came from inside the city!

"Everyone, forward!"

Salander's army advanced, and the soldiers were in good order, gathering outside the attack range of the defenders in the city.

The soldiers were full of energy, waiting for the opportunity, and this was the opportunity!

"Boom!" The gates of the city slowly opened! The Mamluks inside are still fighting.

Ezal Sultan waved his arm, "All of you, whole army, charge!" ”

The crazy Salander soldiers began to charge, and the army swarmed in! From the city gate, to the city wall, to the city lord's palace. The city of Sharitz, after the conquest of the Salanders, fell. The last of the Kalad Pure Land is gone, and there is no more Kalad in the world.

.

On the other side of the battlefield, Gary, King of the Kingdom of Straar (formerly Prime Minister of the Karad Empire), organized a large army to meet the invading Kugit forces.

By the time the army of Jerak Khan reached the city of Harma, the number of Kujit had reached 190,000, which seemed to be huge, but in fact, most of them joined the tribesmen of various small tribes on the march, and the troops lacked unified command and equipment, and there were almost no heavy equipment for engineering.

Neither the Kingdom of Strar nor the Kingdom of Kugit rushed to attack, and although the number of Gary's troops was small, they were all elite troops of the Empire, especially the members of the Knights of the Guards, and their newly trained cavalry. Among them, the Knights of the Guards under Sir Harrah and the cavalry of various lords totaled 50,000, 30,000 elite infantry, and 20,000 imperial crossbowmen. Although the 190,000 people in Kugit are all cavalry, only the lancers and elite cavalry archers can really form combat effectiveness, with a total of 90,000 people, and the remaining 100,000 people are relatively weak. Gerak Khan ordered his cavalry archers to frequently harass the border patrols and villages of the Kingdom of Strar, which caused Gary a lot of trouble.

The mobility of the Kugit riders was much higher than that of the Imperial cavalry. It makes the Imperial soldiers taste falling into a situation where they can't catch up and can't fight. However, in several clashes with thousands of men, Kugit was always beaten by the well-trained expeditionary force of the Kingdom of Strars. In this way the war lasted for almost two years. The two sides have won and lost each other, and they have reached a stalemate.

"This is not the way to go, we need to lure the enemy deeper, bring the damned Kujit into our territory, and use our vast experience to kill them! The whole army, feint retreat. Gary decisively gave the order that he would use stratagem against the eagles of the prairie.

Gary led his troops to retreat, and the Kugit naturally did not give up this perfect opportunity, so the army pressed in. After taking down Fort Reddian with ease. Believing that Strar's army had been completely deprived of supplies, the Kugit continued the pursuit, and soon caught up with Gary's retreating army on the plains behind Fort Redion. At this time, the whole Kugit army believed that this battle would be decided. So began an all-out pursuit, and these people were Gary's bait. These so-called defeated armies are constantly discarding supplies, jewelry, armor, weapons, and so on as they retreat. Seeing this, the Kujits, who had launched the attack, immediately began to plunder, forgetting about the pursuit of the enemy. The scene of the collision between the rear and the front army of Kugit was very chaotic. At this time, the Imperial crossbowmen who were lying in ambush in the nearby forest of Alib began to shoot at the chaotic Kujits. The Kujits' defenses were difficult to withstand the fire of the Imperial heavy crossbows, and the casualties were very heavy, while the previous heavy infantry began to turn and kill, and the undisciplined Kujit began to flee in all directions. The fleeing khan had regrouped his army for a time, but the newly established position was scattered by the heavy knights of the Knights of the Guards. At this point, the Khan completely lost control of his troops, and under the protection of Saiga, he fled with the remnants of his army in the direction of Fort Redion. When the defeated army rushed to the castle, they found that the castle had already been captured by the roundabout Strar army. They were greeted by Imperial light cavalry rushing out of the castle and a rain of arrows from the city. At this point, Kugit's army was completely routed and fled towards Halma. And Gary also received some news that the army of the Rhodok Kingdom was about to move. Fearing the possible possibility of Rhodok's army in the rear, he did not order a pursuit.

This is the end of the first battle between Kugit and Strar.

In this battle, Straar defeated twice his opponent with his training, and in just one day, 70,000 Kujit under Gerak Khan were killed. Heavy casualties caused the tribes of the steppe to withdraw their tribesmen one after another. The threat of Kugit to the empire was temporarily alleviated.
