Chapter 442: A Sudden Siege

The Ethan Hawke family, a medium-sized family with four cities, more than a dozen settlements, rich in minerals, and an extremely geological land with a large number of crops that are scarce in the underworld.

Purely in terms of strength, the strength of the Ethan Hawke family is stronger than the Hoflan family and the Chivita family, of course, the strength is limited, which is why these three families have been able to maintain a balanced situation for so many years.

However, this balance was upset with the rise of Langdon, and as Langdon began to export some special goods to the other two families, the two families quickly entered another period of rapid development, with a tendency to surpass the Ethan Hawke family.

Therefore, instead of thinking about trading with Langdon, the Ethan Hawke family hated Langdon, and from that time on, they had the idea of destroying Langdon.

With the advent of the Bedasta family, this idea became a reality.

In fact, the Ethan Hawke family took refuge in the Bedasta family earlier than people know, and the housemother of the Ethan Hawke family, who had some inside information, chose to take refuge before the Bedasta family sent troops, and it was precisely because of their help that the Chivita family was destroyed so easily.

And with the help of the Bedasta family, they also realized the idea of sending troops to the Eumasas region.

However, the final result was beyond their expectations, and even the Bedasta family was shocked, and the original plan was postponed.

However, for the Ethan Hawke family, this is the end of the matter, they have suffered heavy losses, and they must rest well, at least until they have replenished their troops before they can use troops in the Yamas region again.

Yes, the Ethan Hawke family was still thinking about attacking, but they didn't think that Langdon would fight back.

This is also normal, Langdon's troops of only a few hundred people are not enough to defend themselves, let alone take the initiative to attack others, plus Langdon does not have the relationship between them and the Bedasta family, they can attack by the way, according to the normal route, Langdon wants to lead the troops to set a big circle, that is a road that will take at least a month, and it is full of dangers, as long as it is a normal person, he will never choose to take that road to start a war.

Therefore, they are not worried at all, and even the Hoflan family is not worried about them recently, with the Bedasta family suppressing them, the Hoflan family is too busy to take care of themselves, and it is impossible to provoke them.

These reasons led them to be so light on their enemies that they did not realize that such a force had entered their territory from the Hovlan family through a pass that was dangerous and hidden enough.

"Therefore, the light enemy is the most fundamental reason for the defeat, throughout the history of so many battles, but where the weak defeated the strong, how many battles were not because the strong side underestimated the enemy?"

Langdon was commenting as his gaze fell into the distance.

It was a small city, a little smaller than the city of Yuanwang, and the walls were also not as high as the city of Yuanwang, and there was no moat or anything like that, relying only on the two mountain walls that reached the top wall.

This is one of the four cities controlled by the Ethan Hawke family, the smallest one, and the one closest to the Hovlan family.

The city is surrounded by mountains on both sides and has a junction of four access roads.

It was originally a camp for soldiers, but because of its good location, it slowly developed and eventually became a city.

But even though it became a city, there were still a lot of soldiers stationed here, but that was before.

More than half of the 2,000 soldiers who attacked Yuanwang Town last time came from the city, and those soldiers did not return in the end, which also caused the number of soldiers in the city to drop significantly.

Where Langdon stood was a shadow around the corner, with only a few men standing by his side, observing the city, not afraid of being discovered.

"From crossing the border to now, five days, no one has been found at all, it is simply surprising to me, this defense is the worst I have ever seen, isn't this a light enemy?"

Langdon shrugged and didn't continue on the topic, instead turning his head and asking, "Is it all in place?"

Zhu Lingqi beside him nodded, "It's in place." ”

Langdon smiled: "Then let's start, I'm in a hurry, there's still a field to catch up." ”

Zhu Lingqi nodded again, turned to leave, and Lu Zijing and Hogg also left, leaving only Lao Wang and the bard by his side.

Langdon looked at Nolan in surprise, "What are you still doing here?"

The bard smiled and said, "Isn't that trivial, I don't need to appear." ”

Langdon shrugged, said no more, and turned to look at the city.

It was a time for people to rest, and the city was silent, except for the footsteps of soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city walls.

At this moment, a melodious sound of trumpets suddenly pierced the air.

The resting people did not wake up to the sound of the horn, and the soldiers on patrol were only stunned.

Although it was a patrol, they had never seen an enemy raid on the city.

Immediately, they reacted and looked out of the city, and then they saw that from the darkness far away from the city, there was really a force rushing out!

Everyone was shocked, and they didn't even have time to take a closer look, so they made a mess first.

The chaos finally stopped, someone went to signal the inner city, and the rest of the people also divided their positions to defend the city, and this was the first time they studied on their own to look at the attacking troops.

Seemingly, that's not right......

The number of people is too small, probably less than 500.

Moreover, is this what the siege looks like, not only is the charge slow, but I also didn't see any siege equipment brought.

Is this here for fun?

Just as they had this thought, the enemy had already launched the first wave of attacks.

A shrill sound that seemed to tear through the air was accompanied by hundreds of spears flying up from the enemy's ranks, flying towards the city at an extremely alarming speed.

On the city wall, the leader of the patrolling soldiers exclaimed, "Hurry up......"

Fast, whether it was a quick dodge or a quick counterattack no one knew, because the words behind it were nailed back into the stomach by a throwing spear.

At this time, there were only patrol soldiers on the city wall, and the number was only a few dozen, and under this round of spear attacks, only single digits remained.

The patrol soldiers were also stupefied.

It was at this time that the soldiers, who had returned to their camps to rest, finally came to the city wall, and the picture was so terrible that the spears were so powerful that they did not stop after piercing those people, but continued to go down until they pierced deep into the hard wall.

Those soldiers didn't have time to fall, so they were fixed there, like totems!

"Everyone, change bows and arrows, fight back, fight back for me!" shouted the leader of the troops who had caught up with the support of the city walls, pulling his soldiers back from the terrifying atmosphere created by those dead totems and getting them into battle as quickly as possible.

The soldiers were also well-trained, and some were assigned to dispose of the corpses, while others quickly changed their weapons and launched a counterattack against the approaching enemy.
