Chapter Twenty-Four: The Capture of Carter City

Outside the north gate of Carter City is a canyon more than ten kilometers long and only two kilometers wide, which is the only passage with the Land Wind Empire, these days there are many merchants of the Land Wind Empire pulling grain and meat into Carter City, taking advantage of the tight food supply to raise the price of grain, and wantonly collect money, but unfortunately the nobles of Carter City do not have too much cash in their hands, and have been looted by me to almost only houses and shops, the city lord They have even owed the army for more than two months, and the city guards are unstable, and their morale has fallen to the lowest point.

The Agni mercenary group entered the city one morning with a high profile, and the 2,000 mercenaries were full of energy, causing a sensation, and they entered the slums west of the city and began to set up camps, which had the meaning of staying for a long time. The nobles in the city couldn't figure out the intentions of the Flame Mercenary Group, and before they could react, in the early morning of the next day, the City Lord's Mansion and some other nobles' homes suddenly rushed into hundreds of people and tied up all the noble officials in power in the city. At this time, several gates of Carter City were also controlled by the Agni Mercenary Regiment, and tens of thousands of horses quietly entered the city and controlled all points except for the city guard barracks.

At this time, outside the barracks of the city guards, the soldiers standing guard were knocked out and tied up, the gun depot and grain and grass depot were occupied, the officers' stations were controlled, and the soldiers who were still asleep were escorted to the playground by the fire mercenary group at gunpoint to wait for processing. When the sun shone across Carter City, the city lord Carter Rahi and a group of aristocratic officials were escorted to the square, and under the gaze of tens of thousands of civilians, they announced the ten crimes of the city lord and others, beheaded them on the spot, confiscated their property, drove their families out of Carter City, and announced that Carter City was renamed City on Fire. The nobles of the 50,000 city guards were identified one by one, and those who resisted were killed, and the rest were expelled from the city.

"Fight local tyrants and divide the fields." This slogan made the city guards of the thirty-three cities in the chaotic area lose their resistance, and the slogan of the civilians in the city to resist the exploitation of the nobles became louder and louder, and the Agni mercenary group unified the entire chaotic area in a month, and the number of troops expanded to 800,000, half of which were civilians and slaves.

The rise of the Flame Mercenary Regiment made the surrounding principalities and the two major empires very nervous, as they seriously offended the interests of the aristocratic class, and these principalities banded together to deploy heavy troops in several important passages to prevent the invasion of the Flame Mercenary Regiment.

The chaotic area was originally a granary, the land was fertile, and after unification, the Agni Mercenary Regiment cultivated food while training soldiers, and the war required strong logistics support. After two bumper harvests in the area, the Flame Mercenary Group began to expand・・・・・・

Lin Sen City at the junction of the eastern part of the chaotic area and the Dak Empire is the fief of a duke and nephew of the Dak Empire, with a population of more than 200,000 and 30,000 city guards, which was easily occupied by the Agni Fire Mercenary Group Burning Winter with 50,000 horses, this Linsen City is a traffic artery of the Dak Empire, if it is occupied by others, the commercial passage of the Dak Empire to the west and the northern Land Wind Empire will be subject to others, and after the city is occupied for five days, it will usher in a counterattack by 200,000 Dak Emperor ** team.

After learning the information, the leader of the Agni Mercenary Regiment, Lielei, personally led 100,000 horses to the tail of the Dak army, cut off their communication transmission, and waited for the news.

When the commander of the Dakdi ** team heard that the rebels in Linsen City were only 50,000 horses, he smiled disdainfully, and ordered the whole army to press, 100,000 horses and horses to storm the east city gate head-on, and the remaining three gates each of 30,000 horses feints.

The battle began at 8 o'clock in the morning, with 30,000 siege troops lined up, followed by 50,000 troops, and the commander of the corps personally led 20,000 Chinese troops to escort the formation, and the other three attacks also began at the same time.

2,000 meters, 1,000 meters, 800 meters, 600 meters, 500 meters, ...

"Launch!"

Two thousand crossbows defending the city have an effective range of one thousand meters, ten consecutive shots, only to see 20,000 arm-thick crossbow arrows flying towards the enemy under black pressure, and suddenly fell a large piece, some people were also strung with sugar gourds, after five rounds, the Darker Empire only had 20,000 cavalry and 10,000 reserves, and before the commander of the legion could react, the gate of Linsen City was wide open, and thousands of cavalry rushed out, and the cavalry that rushed out of the other three city gates totaled more than 10,000 cavalry, and rushed towards the enemy cavalry.

The crossbow in the hands of the cavalry has an effective range of 300 meters, five consecutive shots, and the enemy 20,000 cavalry does not panic, after entering the range of the crossbow, most of the cavalry of the other side is killed before the two sides are short-handed, and then rushes into the enemy infantry and harvests the enemy's life with sabers. Subsequently, the infantry of the Agni Mercenary Regiment arrived, and the commander of the Dakdi ** Regiment led thousands of remnants of the army to flee.

The civilians in the city saw that the 200,000 troops of the Darker Empire were wiped out by 50,000 soldiers of the Agni Mercenary Regiment, and none of the soldiers of the Agni Mercenary Regiment died except for a few hundred minor injuries.

The thousands of remnants of the fleeing soldiers were captured alive by the ambushed Thunder Legion, and none of the 200,000 troops escaped the net. Lin Sen City left a small number of troops and administrative staff to manage the city, and the Burning Winter Legion joined the Burning Thunder Legion with 50,000 new recruits and a total of 100,000 horses, advanced eastward, using the surrendered soldiers as bait, and successively conquered three cities on the border of the Dak Empire, and then entered a strategic rest.

The legions of the Western and Southern Fronts occupied the lands of the surrounding fifteen principalities with minor casualties, and the army expanded to 1 million, as well as 500,000 slave legions, plus other legions, bringing the total strength of the Agni Mercenary Regiment to 2 million.

The southern monarch empire finally felt threatened, gathered hundreds of thousands of horses, laid a defensive line on the border, and prepared to face the fire mercenary group・・・・・・
