Chapter 22: Assault on the Fortress
"Argyll, hard work. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 In the Thundering Fortress, General Bitley patted a brown-haired man on the shoulder, "It's nothing, it's just an easy task. The brown-haired man named Argyle said with a smile.
Argyll served as the Thundering Fortress's Grain Transporter, who was tasked with transporting grain and grass from the towns in the rear to the Thundering Fortress every month.
"Quick, go and put the grain and grass in the warehouse and unload it. Argyll instructed his soldiers, who pulled their horses to carry grain and grass in the direction of the warehouse.
"Argyll has been at Thundering Fortress for five years. The young general Ness said as he looked at the busy figure of the grain transport officer.
"Yes, Ness, Argyll entered the Thundering Fortress before you. Bitley laughed. "You look at him so hard, who would have guessed that he was originally the commander of the Bretan Territory Army. Bitley said, turning to look at Ness.
Five years ago, the Kingdom of Bretan and the Kingdom of Armas in the southwest broke out in war, taking advantage of the main force of the Bretan army to fight with the army of the Kingdom of Armas on the southwest border, the king of Gilgias, Landry Pars, led an army of 300,000 troops to invade the Kingdom of Armas from the north, and Landry led the army to capture several cities of the Kingdom of Bretan, including a city called Iron Ridge City.
Tieling City is a large city in the Brettan Kingdom, the lord of Tieling City Norsander has more than 40,000 territory troops, under the onslaught of 300,000 Gilgidian troops, Tieling City held on for nearly ten days, but in the end Tieling City was captured by the Gilgidian army, and the reason why the Gilgian Kingdom was able to take Tieling City was that this Bretan named Argyll made a contribution.
Argyll was originally a commander under the lord of Iron Ridge City, Norsandr, when the Gilgidian army stormed Iron Ridge City, the main force of the Bretian army was still fighting with the Kingdom of Armas under the leadership of the commander Voncis Varun, Argyle thought that the territorial army in the city could no longer hold Iron Ridge City, so Argyll led his 2,000 soldiers to launch a rebellion, Argyll's rebellion allowed the Gilgidian army to successfully capture Iron Ridge City.
In recognition of Argyll's sensibility, King Landry of Gilgias left Argyll in the army of the Gilgidian royal family, and since then Argyll has remained in the Thundering Fortress with his surrendered soldiers.
"General Bitley, Argyle is a man who turned against him when he saw that the situation was not right, and we should be wary of him. Ness said, "Haha, don't worry, Master Camenor has already made arrangements, and I and Vesy will handle all the affairs in the fortress, and Argyll and the two thousand men under him will only need to be responsible for carrying grain and grass." Bitley said with a smile.
As the defense officer of the Thundering Fortress, Carmeno never entrusted the defense of the fortress to the surrendered Argyll, who and his 2,000 surrendered Bretan soldiers were responsible for the heavy and arduous task of carrying grain and grass.
Early the next morning, the fog on Thundering Mountain began to fade, and the sun was about to come out.
"My lord, the Bretan army has appeared on the north side of the fortress, and they have launched an attack on the fortress. "A herald walked into the house of Duke Dulaika, the commander of the Thundering Fortress.
"Let Nice and Bitley hold on to the walls..." The herald left the house.
"Ledton actually came with an army to attack Thundering Fortress. Raising his head, Duke Duraica, who had helped his attendants tie his buttons, said softly, "Come, let Camenor come and see me." The Duke of Duraica raised his hand and motioned for his men to summon General Cameno, the defense officer of the fortress.
"Bang..." A brilliant orange flame rose into the sky and burst into the sky in the Thundering Mountain. In the Brettan military camp stationed on the south side of the Thundering Fortress, a purple-haired man stood in the barracks, this purple-haired man had two silver earrings hanging from his earlobes, and when he saw the orange flame flashing in the Thundering Mountain, the purple-haired man's eyes showed a trace of long-awaited excitement.
"It's been almost three months for you to come here, Lieton, it seems that you haven't taken Ziyang City..." The corners of the purple-haired man's mouth curled slightly, "Herald, inform the troops, and immediately launch an attack on the Thundering Fortress." The purple-haired man raised his hand and ordered.
"Yes, General Shaloman. The herald took the order, and the purple-haired man standing in the Brettan barracks on the south side of the Thundering Fortress was the "Abyss Demon Serpent" Shaloman, who was on par with the "Winged Flying Tiger" Lyton in the Bretan Army.
In the Thundering Fortress, "Carmenor, you send another 5,000 soldiers to the west side of the fortress..." "Your Excellency. A herald hurried.
"The 100,000-strong Brettan army stationed south of the fortress has begun to attack the Thundering Fortress. The herald's briefing took Dulaika and Carmeno by surprise.
"My lord, Lieton in the north has just led his troops to attack the fortress, and the Bretan army stationed in the south immediately responded, it seems that this is a premeditated action by the Bretans. Camenor began.
"Hmm," Dulaika sitting in a chair looked solemn, "The commander of the Bretan army, Voncis Varuan, should know that it is impossible to capture the Thundering Fortress with only 100,000 troops, but he has been keeping this army south of the Thundering Fortress for more than two months, and the old fox Vonsis has been planning to attack the Thundering Fortress from the beginning..."
"My lord, Lieton has led an army from the north to attack the Thundering Fortress, and the Brettan army from the south has responded in unison, but I don't think it will be possible for them to break through the fortress. Carmeno said.
The most dangerous terrain held by the Thundering Fortress built on the Thundering Mountain, the large siege equipment in the Thundering Mountain cannot be used, and the sealing magic stones are placed in the city walls, which imprisons the flow of the elements, and the fighting spirit magic cannot be used, even if the Brettan army attacks from both sides of the fortress at the same time, it is still difficult to shake this strong fortress.
"The actions of the Bretans are very strange, I suspect that the old fox Vonseth has other tricks, Carmeno, you and Vesy take care of the southern defense of the fortress, and I will personally patrol the northern wall..."
"Yes, Lord Duke. Carmeno took the order.
In the mountains and forests north of Thundering Mountain, Retton, the commander of the Bretan Army, stood under a pine tree and silently watched the fortress that the Bretan army was attacking not far away.
"General, we have already lost two battalions of soldiers. "An officer came over and reported to Lieton that one battalion was two thousand five hundred men, and two battalions were five thousand soldiers, and that it had only been two hours since the attack on Thundering Fortress had been carried out for five thousand soldiers.
"Well, let the soldiers go on the offensive. After listening to the officer's debriefing, Lieton just nodded and whispered. Lieton knew very well that it was impossible for his 50,000 men to break through the fortress alone, but Lieton still ordered his troops to continue to storm the Thundering Fortress, standing under the pine trees, Lieton silently prayed in his heart, hoping that the turning point of this battle would come smoothly.
