The strength of the Matsue Army's attack exceeded the imagination of the defenders of Krabi Dicheng.

Although the leader was the Northern Luzon Garrison Division, which was reorganized after the surrender, and there was not much hatred in the face of his own people, the war has always been like this, and once the fight broke out and the red eyes were killed, there was no friendship to talk about. To show mercy to the other party is to joke with your own life!

Moreover, with the stalemate of the battle on the first day, after realizing that a frontal attack alone was not enough to give full play to its superiority in troops, the Matsue army decisively chose to encircle on three sides and attack the city at the same time!

In order to prevent a surprise attack by the Luzon army in Manila, the royal capital, the Songjiang army also released the cavalry for fifteen miles to monitor the surrounding movements.

At the same time, the attack from the east, west, and north walls suddenly made Gars feel strong pressure.

Although there are 5,000 defenders at the northern gateway of the royal capital, the only veterans of the First World War are the 1,000 soldiers of the royal capital army. The other 4,000 people, all recruits with no experience, hastily trained for two days before taking weapons and going into battle. In yesterday's attack, there were veterans to help with, but I didn't see anything yet, but today, the Songjiang army was besieged on three sides, and the number of veterans was insufficient, and there was a big problem just by relying on the new soldiers to defend.

The Northern Luzon Garrison Division, which rushed up on the ladder, only attacked for two hours, and several gaps appeared in the defensive line on the eastern wall. If it weren't for the help of the prepared logs, boiling oil, and a group of archers, the Northern Luzon garrison might have been able to capture a section of the wall on the eastern front in just one morning.

"Chance!"

After getting the report, seeing that the east city wall had an opportunity, and the defensive strength was obviously a notch weaker than that of the north, He Shixiang quickly made adjustments. With a wave of attacks by the Northern Luzon Garrison Division, He Shixiang let these reorganized soldiers retreat, and instead sent the elite of the Songjiang Army to go into battle in person.

Directly belonged to He Shixiang's Songjiang Army First Division and Second Brigade. However, there were several elite units in the Songjiang Army, and the old troops that Chen Wu had when he started in Taiping County participated in the battles of capturing Daqingguan, Yuyang Mansion, and the two Tiannan Wars. It is an exaggeration to say that he has experienced a hundred battles, but his strength is definitely far superior to the defenders of Krabi Dicheng.

When a wing of the 2nd Brigade pressed up, the defenders of the eastern city wall immediately felt several times the pressure from before.

Although the previous Northern Luzon garrison division was not weak, it was stronger than the new recruits in the defending army. It's not as good as the veterans of the royal capital legion. Relying on the advantage of the city walls, they can still fight. However, the new batch of soldiers are tall and large, and they are far better than the North Luzon Garrison Division in terms of morale, physical fitness, and martial arts. Often with a single slash, these recruits have to hold the knife with both hands and try their best to block it.

After a few rounds, the recruits in Krabi Dungeon were exhausted and out of breath.

However, the long-trained Matsue Army on the opposite side was only warming up. With their precise eyes, they only need to catch a slightly deformed movement or omission of the defender recruit, and they can swing through it with a single sword. Complete a harvest!

This is just a one-man battle, and if you add the cooperation between the squad and the battle formation, the recruits in Krabi Dungeon will have no to fight.

If it is one-on-one, with the advantage of defending the city, the defenders can barely fight the Songjiang army. As the Songjiang Army pressed on and gradually seized a foothold, the soldiers were able to deploy, and the defenders were gradually divided and compressed under the attack of the Songjiang Army. In the eyes of these recruits. Obviously, he is the defender of the city, but he always has the illusion that he is surrounded by enemies on the left, center and right.

Although these defenders of Krabi Dicheng have done their best. However, the gap in strength could not be made up in one go, and it soon fell into a dangerous situation - not to mention, when it came to morale, the morale of the Songjiang army would only be even higher than theirs!

"The fifth part of the left battalion of the Northern Army (reorganized) immediately went to reinforce the northern city wall."

"Lord Garth, the western wall has also been stormed by the enemy. Reinforcements are urgently needed! ”

"The Imperial people have invested the main force in the eastern city wall, and they have now captured a section of the city wall twenty meters wide!"

"I'm running out of arrows, so I'll bring ten more bundles."

Throughout the day, there was a constant stream of anxious soldiers coming from the three walls, and Garth only felt that the shape had never been so bad. The recruit he pinched in his hand. A steady stream of them were filled into the city, and then the rout was withdrawn and regrouped. However, the attack of the Imperial people was too fierce, especially on the eastern city wall, and it had reached a point where it could be resisted by more than just numbers!

As a last resort, he transferred the two hundred veterans of the Royal Capital Legion, who had finally retreated to rest, to the east side.

But as a result, the northern wall, which was the first to be attacked, became empty and precarious.

Relying on the consumption of human lives, and even personally leading the reinforcements himself, he supported it on the second day, and even barely withstood it on the third day. However, Garth had a hunch that he might not survive the fourth day as the veterans of the Royal Capital Legion were exhausted in the past few days.

Before that, there was no news of the messenger he had sent to the royal capital to ask for reinforcements. I don't know if it was intercepted by the enemy, or if Wang Du didn't plan to continue sending troops here at all.

Shape shì a piece of bad!

For a few minutes, Garth almost wanted to evacuate and abandon the city overnight. After all, it doesn't have much value to continue to hold onto, on the contrary, if the few thousand recruits left in its hands can survive this opportunity, they will soon be able to grow up.

But he didn't dare!

Once Krabi Dungeon is lost, the enemy will be able to reach the royal capital of Manila in a day. When the king was shaken, in order to appease the anger of the people and the impeachment of the officials, he, the general of the defenders, would inevitably be pushed out as a scapegoat—Suleiman V was not a wise king, and he was willing to defend himself to the death against the pressure of the ministers and the people.

That's it, after all, the principality is kind to him, so let's hold it until the last moment.

Garth made up his mind and led his troops to hold out until the moment the city was broken, and then he came out from the south, where he had never been surrounded by enemies, and fled directly back to his hometown. As for what the final outcome of the principality will be...... There's nothing he can do about it!

With such a decision, Garth felt that the burden on his body was much lighter. At the same time, the Songjiang Army was also deploying tomorrow's general attack. Being delayed here by the Luzon people for several days and paying a lot of sacrifices has already made He Shixiang feel dissatisfied. By tomorrow evening at the latest, he will take this little city!

The solution is simple, it is to suddenly increase the intensity and rhythm of the attack.

At the beginning of the fourth day, the Songjiang Army adopted the usual method of supervising the battle, and sent the North Luzon garrison division into battle in turn. This did not come as a surprise to the Luzonians, but just when two successive waves of attacks and fierce battles were raging between the two sides, the Matsue army suddenly made a large-scale rotation.

Under the three walls, the attacking Northern Luzon garrison divisions were all replaced by the main force of the Songjiang Army.

At the same time, almost all the infantry archers were brought up and concentrated on suppressing the eastern walls of Krabi Dicheng!

Hundreds of arrows rained down, and the damage exploded instantly. The defenders of Krabi Dicheng, who were already in chaos for the Songjiang Army to comprehensively strengthen the offensive, were caught off guard by the rain of arrows. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the elite of the Songjiang Army skillfully climbed to the top of the city, and took out a wave of dying momentum!

Although Garth tried his best to dispatch and support, the defenders of the three walls were all in a hurry. In particular, the sudden increase in the intensity of the siege left the defenders without a process of preparedness and adaptation. The defenders, who were already inferior to the Songjiang Army, were on the verge of collapse in a short period of time.

If there is only one place, Gars can personally lead the team to suppress it, but what if the three walls are like this?

"It would be nice to have a thousand more veterans of the Royal Capital Legion!"

He clenched his fists tightly, his heart full of unwillingness. At this time, the eastern city wall, which had been attacked by the Songjiang army, was attacked by the Songjiang army not long after the battle began, and the soldiers of the Songjiang army completely captured a section of the city wall about 100 meters long and began to expand their superiority in an all-round way.

After gaining a firm foothold at the head of the city, the Luzon recruits, whose morale had collapsed, could not organize an effective counterattack at all, and it was not easy to barely continue to support them. At most, after half an hour, Dongcheng, which has no reinforcements, will be defeated on all fronts, and then the city of Krabi will change hands!

"Don't do anything for ......"

Seeing that the situation was already like this, Garth gave up the idea of fighting to the death. He knew that in the case that the king had not sent reinforcements, even if he went up to personally supervise the battle, at most it would only delay the time of the fall.

Greeting a group of soldiers at hand, he simply packed up some of his belongings and treasures, and rode away through the quietly opened south gate.

This time, Krabi Dicheng is in chaos!

Without the bullet pressure of the generals defending the city, the soldiers who came to ask for help could not find anyone, and they couldn't guess that the other party had fled, and they immediately dispelled the last point of war. As the news spread, the entire Krabi underground city fell into unprecedented chaos. The soldiers, in a panic, began the rout in advance.

After only half an hour, the Matsue army took all three walls one after another, began to receive troops, cleaned up the situation in the city, and completed the control of Krabi City before dark.

As the rout escaped through the open southern gate, the news of the loss of Krabi Dicheng reached the royal capital of Manila that night, causing a huge commotion and uproar again.

Suleiman V personally appointed his henchmen to guard the city and supervise the battle, and arranged a full 5,000 soldiers in the small city, full of hope that they could resist the enemy for a week or even more than ten days. Who would have thought that only four or five days before the enemy attacked the city, the Krabi underground city would be lost. Moreover, except for a very few of the 5,000 soldiers in the city who escaped, the rest were either killed in battle or captured, which was equivalent to total annihilation!

The court meeting on the morning of the second day of the Duchy of Luzon exploded as this news spread.

Everyone knows that after the last portal, Krabi Dicheng, is also lost, the enemy can appear directly outside the royal capital in just one day. Perhaps, by the time they are meeting now, the Imperial army has already set out for camp!

Could it be that the Principality of Luzon is really worried about the loss of the country? (To be continued.) )
