Under the fierce offensive of the Federation Army for nearly half a month, several cities around Alpine City have already fallen and become an isolated city. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This city, which was already very difficult to supply, now that even the last supply line has been cut off, and the Federation army is very patient to gradually encroach on it.

After a series of fierce battles, the number of defenders in Takayama Castle was less than 5,000, and even though the heavy rain had washed away in recent days, there was no sign of stopping.

But the heavy rain still couldn't wash away the strong smell of blood, and a large number of wounded people fell in leaky houses, and doctors were treating their injuries.

These doctors had studied at the Far Eastern Medical College for a while, and had brought medicines to work in the mountain town, but now they were running out of medicines.

Coupled with the bad weather, the disease was rampant, which put the defenders to a heavy test, and it was difficult for them to hold out for much longer.

"Damn, if we continue like this, we won't be able to hold on for a week at most, and there will be no one to support us? ”

"Now that there is a war on the western and eastern fronts, where is there any spare strength to support us, but once we lose, the entire province will fall. ”

"These Federation guys are damned, if we hadn't had to deal with several fronts at the same time and have experienced a civil war, we would have absolutely broken them. ”

The soldiers looked resentful as they looked at the sky, where it was already gray and bright, and after a short rest, a new day of fighting was about to begin.

"As soldiers, all we can do is to do all our blood to protect our land, continue to go up, everyone have to come on. ”

"I should have died in yesterday's battle, I didn't expect to live one more day, this is already earned, I must kill two more enemies!"

"Let's see which of us will fall on the top of the city today, but I can tell you first, if you die, I won't be able to collect your body. ”

The soldiers slowly stood up, picked up their weapons, put on their helmets, and moved in the direction of the city walls, to return to their defensive positions.

The corpses of the soldiers killed yesterday had been carried away from the castle tower, and the heavy rain washed away all night, but there was no way to wash away all the blood.

The rain "crackled" on the armor on their bodies, and everyone's footsteps were very heavy, and every dawn meant that someone had fallen, from the initial enthusiasm, to the later fear, until finally everyone became numb, calmly accepting that everything was about to happen.

However, when the soldiers were ready for a new day of fierce fighting, they stood on the wall and looked at it with a somewhat surprised expression.

"What's going on? Normally, at this time, the Federation Army has already begun to line up and prepare to attack, why didn't you see a single figure today?"

"Do they want to do something else? Do they want us to take it down and take it by surprise? Or is there some other plan?"

"Look over there, look in the direction of the Federalist camp, they seem to be starting to retreat? What's going on? They're retreating?"

When the soldiers were puzzled, they pointed forward with sharp eyes, and clearly saw that there were soldiers in the camp of the federal army one after another.

"Do you want to abandon our Gaoshan City and directly attack the Iron Wall Province? We can't let them succeed, we must attack them!"

"But if they don't take down the mountain city, can they really attack the Iron Wall Province with confidence? ”

"Brothers, I just got the news that the Federation Army has indeed retreated, and they have made it clear that they want to return to the country, and the news is absolutely reliable!"

Someone rushed to the city wall and announced the exciting news, and immediately some soldiers took off their helmets with incredible expressions on their faces.

"What did you say? They retreated? And they went back to the country? What is going on? How can they withdraw when they are about to win?"

"Yes, I'm ready to die here, and they would choose to retreat at such a time?

"I don't know, but this news has been confirmed by His Highness Rennes, they really retreated, and the war is finally over!"

The soldiers shouted excitedly, trembling with excitement, they had been fighting here for too long.

The brutal battle made their nerves tense to the extreme every day, and they saw their comrades-in-arms fall in front of them one by one.

They had long given up their plans to survive, and only thought about doing their duty to the end, but they didn't expect to tell him that the war was over at such a time?

"Is it over? It always feels a little too sudden, we have been fighting for so long, and it is suddenly over? Did you survive?"

"Can you sleep well, no longer have to worry about the enemy attacking, and you may lose your defensive position at any time? ”

"Although we still don't understand the situation a little, doesn't the retreat of the Federation Army mean that we have won and held out to the end?"

The soldiers looked at each other, unable to accept this fact for a moment, but after a brief silence.

A burst of cheers erupted, and many people choked up and wept, they had lost too much in this war and paid too much price.

But in the end, I still persevered to the end, this was a hard-won victory, the heavy rain could not extinguish the enthusiasm, and the whole city was boiling!

Standing in the pouring rain, Wren watched the departing Federation troops from afar, and was accompanied by several officers to the Union army camp.

At this time, the camp was empty, the soldiers of the Federation Army had retreated, and Wren was silent for a long time when he saw this messy battlefield.

"Your Highness, we have won this war, this is really something to celebrate, you see, those guys have all fled!"

Some of the officers had ecstatic expressions, they were all numbed by the fierce fighting for more than two months, they were so tired.

When they were ready to die in battle, they suddenly learned that they were alive, and this ecstasy hit their hearts, and the excitement was indescribable.

"Celebrate? At such a terrible price, is such a victory really worth celebrating? And the war is far from over!"

Wren shook his head, he looked at the sky to the west, lightning pierced the sky, and even though it was already dawn, it was very gloomy.

"We've got about 5,000 men left, right? Gather 2,000 cavalry, prepare dry food and water, and set out with me in an hour!"

Wren waved his hand and gave the order, knowing full well that the battle on the Western Front was the key to the Empire's success.

His war is not over, the threat of the empire has not been lifted, and now is not the time to celebrate victory!
