The Potato Mercenaries led by Feder were at the forefront, followed by the other three, while Möngke's own men took a different route, intending to attack the isolated fortress at the same time after dark.

According to information provided by Selena and Luca from the captured enemy patrols, there were 500 men stationed in the fort, while 500 men were stationed on the east and north sides of the fort's perimeter, and the expected 2,000 East Oguna Imperial invasion troops were actually only 1,500 men.

Because of the distribution of the enemy's forces, Fidel and Möngke decided to divide their forces into two routes, first breaking the 1,000 men stationed outside the fortress, and then attacking the fortress together. Selena offered to go around the rear of the fortress with all the cavalry squadrons led by Lukka, where they patrolled in case enemy reinforcements approached.

And the leader of the Ah Hei mercenary group, Ah Hei, also took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he would lead the team to detour to the west gate of the fortress and launch an attack there. The black man's eyes were full of fighting spirit, and it was clear that he wanted to succeed, and perhaps he had the idea of taking Feid's place.

Stanley warned him when he was leaving, saying that the St. Augusta Empire had not won since the Windmill City was taken. Now the whole of the St. Oguna Empire is looking forward to a victory, otherwise, no matter how many troops there are on the defensive line, sooner or later they will collapse due to discouragement. The invading army of the East Oguna Empire relied on its overwhelming momentum, and the defense line of the capital would be self-defeating at that time, so the battle to recapture the fortress was very crucial, and only victory was allowed.

On the way to the march, Fidel also heard Möngke say that the recapture had already been hyped up in the city of Doret - that Möngke, the most heroic and fearless son of the Marquis, and Fid, the leader of the young heroic mercenary regiment, would repel the invasion of the East Oguna Empire that had taken the fortress with a small number of troops. This propaganda is obviously false, but Möngke said that the entire St. Oguna Empire is now in need of such spiritual food, and if they really realize that the St. Oguna Empire has young generals who have stepped forward and led them to defeat the invaders, then the soldiers and civilians defending the land will definitely become more united.

Fidel certainly understands the power of unity, and since the Regent Shumo lost the hearts and minds of the Regent, and the Holy Maiden Golia, who did not show up in the City of the Righteous King, every soldier of the Theoguna Empire that Fidel met could see the disappointment written on their faces. So no matter whether the opponent is strong or weak this time, winning is a must.

Before Fei De allowed Fei to attack the western detour of the commander of the black regiment, the dark-skinned regimental commander left the main team with his six hundred mercenaries and set off for the grassland to the west.

Marcus said that this area was grassland, and they had to take the fort as soon as possible, otherwise if there were enemy cavalry reinforcements, it would be a great loss to fight in the open field area. Fed decided to let Patrick lead a hundred mercenaries from the Potato Mercenary Regiment and stay on a hill to the north. As it was getting dark, he ordered Patrick not to take part in the recapture of the fort, but the champion gladiator and a hundred mercenaries had to find some branches and sticks, and each of them lit one or made a campfire to serve as a catch.

Patrick understood what Fid meant, after all, the fortress only had 1,500 enemies, and it was reasonable to say that it would not pose any threat to Fidel and Möngke, and he was afraid that reinforcements would appear. He immediately led a hundred people to search the grassland, and everything that could be lit on fire and illuminated the surroundings was found.

Then Fei De took the remaining more than 1,200 mercenaries to the target location at full speed, and there were no obstacles along the way, and by the time Fei De reached 500 meters north of the fortress, the personal troops led by Meng Ge had already engaged in a fierce battle with the invasion army of the East Oguna Empire in the fortress.

The 500 enemies stationed in the north also joined the battle group that held back Möngke's own soldiers, and Fide immediately sent half of his men to support Möngke, while the other half approached the fortress's gates, looking for an opportunity to break through the fortress's gates.

Fei De led the mercenaries of the Mulihua Mercenary Group to charge into the battle formation where Meng Ge was, and none of the mercenaries of the Mu Lihua Mercenary Group took out their melee weapons, but just shot at the battle formation with short crossbows, and many of Meng Ge's own soldiers were shot. Jasmine, the leader of the Mulihua Mercenary Group, didn't care at all, she also stepped up to let all her subordinates shoot, and would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go. Fei De wanted to stop them, but these male mercenaries with slender fingers and soft movements completely ignored Fei De's words, and the regiment leader Jasmine only snorted coldly. On the contrary, Meng Ke noticed that his men were being attacked by friendly forces, and he immediately ordered his own soldiers to retreat.

The numerical advantage was soon apparent, and although the captured invading army said that there were 1,000 people stationed outside, there were actually less than 800 people, so even without the support of the mercenaries on Fidel's side, Möngke's own soldiers could easily gain an advantage. And Fei De noticed that there were only a few guards on the fortress, and it was estimated that the defense was scattered by the simultaneous attack of the Ah Hei mercenary group and the superior mercenary group on the northwest side.

Ayana raised her bow and aimed at an enemy on a walled city, and with a single shot it hit two people at the same time. The guards were shocked and fled to the edge of the battlements. The mercenaries of the Mulihua Mercenary Regiment immediately tilted a large number of crossbow arrows on the city wall, and the other party was unable to parry the crossbow arrows like raindrops, and there was no one left.

Seeing that the situation was gradually under control, Fidel immediately led the rest of the mercenaries to the north gate, while Möngke led his own soldiers to storm the east gate, attacking on three sides at the same time.

By the time Fed reached the north gate, Captain Charlie had already set up a ladder for his mercenaries to climb the city, allowing the only ram to pound violently on the fortress's gates.

At this time, a cavalry squadron of mercenaries rushed from the south to report to Fidel: "Deputy Commander! The invading troops of the East Oguna Empire who are inside the fortress have begun to evacuate from the south gate of the fortress and have all fled to the south!"

Feder ordered his mercenaries not to pursue, and Charlie's mercenaries had all successfully climbed the city walls, and the city gates were also smashed open by the battering ram, and everyone rushed in.

"Wow! what a treasure!" cried out one of the mercenaries as he ran into the fortress.

Fed and his captain entered the fortress and found it bright, with torches hanging from many of its walls, like a grand welcome. And every corner of the fortress is scattered with gold coins and treasures, as well as weapons and baggage, I don't know if these materials are originally in the fortress or those left by the invading army of the East Oguna Empire. Ahei's mercenary group has also successfully entered the West Gate, and they, along with other mercenary groups and Meng Ge's own soldiers, have rushed to the treasure.

For the sake of the gold coins scattered all over the ground, they dropped their weapons one after another, and focused all their attention on snatching the money. Some even fought hard, and one of the mercenaries reported to him that Möngke had led hundreds of his own soldiers to the south to continue the pursuit of the fleeing invasion of the East Oguna Empire.

Feder noticed that the chests that were supposed to contain gold and silver had already been opened and turned to the ground, apparently deliberately shaking out the gold and silver treasures for everyone to snatch.

This may be a trap that Phylla subconsciously thought. Fed immediately asked Marcus and Matthews to lead the mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Regiment out of the fortress, but before they could exit the north gate of the fortress, Lukka and Selena were already galloping on their horses, and there were many fewer horseback mercenaries behind them.

"Big deal! From the south, a large group of light cavalry of the East Oguna Empire appeared, and they attacked our troops! And it seems that they have met Mönggo's pursuing force and are in a battle!" Lukka also had some blood stains on his body, I don't know if it was his own or someone else's.

Is it really a trap? Fidel asked Noor and Leonard to immediately inform Charlie, Ahei, and Jasmine, the three mercenary captains, but they thought that Fide was being alarmist, and completely ignored what Fidel said, and only let his subordinates stuff all those valuable things into the box, and they could grab as much as they could. Möngke's own soldiers who remained in the fortress were also not under the command of Fidel, and they also joined in the looting of money and spoils. Less than a hundred of his own soldiers obeyed Fed's move, and they all offered to come to the Lord's rescue.

"It's too late to go, so close the four gates of the fort at once, and hold on. Fidel let all the more than 200 mercenaries of the Potato Mercenary Regiment withdraw from the fort, and immediately asked Luca and Selena to lead the cavalry squadron to Bacheng to report and ask for support.

Marcus asked, "So what do we do now?"

"Let's retreat first in the direction of Patrick's hills, since it was the light cavalry who set the trap, it should not be so easy for them to break through the gates and take the fortress. We don't know how many enemies there are, so we can only wait for reinforcements!"
