Chapter 025: The Great Army Sets Out

Two thousand elite archers were soon lined up a hundred meters away from Shotoku City, and these carefully selected archers were all burly and ape-length arms. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info years of training have made their arms as thick as an oak stump for twenty years, and at this moment they are already in full battle, and the arrows are full of bows and back, just waiting for an order.

Lawrence led the infantry regiment to follow the archers, the soldiers clenching the bayonet guns in their hands, their faces full of fortitude, and their angry eyes staring at their target, ready to forcibly attack the city.

With Kenny's order, two thousand arrows left the air on their backs, and the peace army on the city wall looked at the sudden rain of arrows, and they were shocked to pick up their shields to resist, and the recruits who did not have time to stop were pierced by several arrows all over their bodies in an instant, and before the painful roar reached their throats, they fell down from the castle tower one after another, stirring up the water of the moat.

Some of the cunning veterans simply fled, crouching down to protect their backs with their shields, and in a hurry many of them rolled down the stairs of the tower, looking extremely embarrassed.

After a few rains of arrows, there was barely a single peace army in sight on the castle tower, and Kenny couldn't help but be a little worried. Marcy still has more than 10,000 horses, why don't you resist and surrender, there are moats more than ten meters wide on all sides of the castle city, if you arrange a thousand archers on the tower, and then place a hundred catapults in the city wall, two formations attack outside the city at the same time, even if the attackers have more troops, it will be difficult to attack the city.

Kenny was not in a hurry to give the order to attack, he repeatedly speculated about Marcy's unusual behavior, he has experienced too many intrigues and cunning, which makes him have to anticipate any possible accident as he has been on the battlefield for many years.

After a long time, there was still no replacement force on the city wall waiting for the Peace Army, and Kenny had no choice but to give the order to attack. Lawrence immediately ordered the infantry regiment to storm the city of Saint-Tak, and the shouts of killing seemed to have been held in the chests of the soldiers for a century, and the moment the order was given, the roar resounded through the battlefield, deafening, as if the whole earth was about to be shattered by them.

More than 10,000 battle-hardened Alliance infantry slaughtered Shotok Castle, flying between the sand and rocks like a group of migrating beasts about to devour Shotok Castle. A group of twenty people rushed to the city gate, they carried a two-person twenty-meter-thick wooden stake to hit the drawbridge, the huge impact hit the iron chains on the drawbridge again and again, they shouted the command in an orderly manner, each impact was accompanied by the sound of sawdust flying and the chains shaking, but in a few minutes, Lawrence led his troops to rush into the city of Sainte, and did not encounter any resistance on the way.

After the infantry regiment entered the city, Lawrence found that the city was empty, except for the frightened slaves and the townspeople, no Marcy's army was found, only a few wandering veterans of the Peace Army, and the city lord Marcy was naturally gone.

Kenny led the Alliance army into Shotoku City, all this came a little too easily, even if Marcy was incompetent, he didn't have the courage to abandon the city and flee, after all, he couldn't escape Bill's sanctions.

After interrogating several of the remaining Peace Army soldiers, and learning that Marcy had led his troops out of the city a few days ago, when Kenny knew all this, he immediately ordered the army to retreat to the city of Karta, and a bad premonition came to his mind, he could already have a premonition that his family might have fallen, but after thinking about it, he was not so anxious again.

The city of Karta was in flames, the west tower was full of devastation, the outside of the city wall was smashed by huge stones in many dents, countless arrows were shot at the tower, Camille looked at all this in front of him, the dead and wounded guards were lying on the ground and wailing, and the corpses of the citizens who had not had time to evacuate the city were all over the street. Camille is just a wandering wizard, he has never seen such a scene, the only little cleverness is used to steal things, but the lord is so trusting to keep the main city to himself, after thinking about it, Camille paced back and forth, but still helpless to look at everything in front of him.

Judging from the defense of the city, the commander of the Peace Army could already estimate the strength of the city, and he clearly knew that Kenny led his troops to attack the city of Shotoku, but he did not expect that he only left that little force to defend his main city.

In addition to the few guards left on the city walls, Camille gathered as many guards as he could, and the first priority was to send Nina out, and if the army broke the city, he would stay and die with the remaining guards and the city of Karta. He ordered all the city's citizens to evacuate from the southern gate and retreat towards the Angolan steppe.

The Guards obeyed the order of the hairy boy, and although they were not very reluctant, Camille was indeed the general who defended the city before the lord set out for the battle. A large number of people began to migrate southward, and a scene of the great migration of humans was staged in the city of Karta.

Nina did not listen to Camille's persuasion, and sat calmly in the palace, as if the flames outside had nothing to do with her. Camille still patiently persuaded Nina to evacuate, and the lord handed over his home and wife to him, even if he lost the city and his own life, he had to send his wife and the people out safely no matter what, because these are the things that the lord cares about the most.

While Camille was patiently persuading Nina in the palace, a guard came to report to Camille that a large number of cavalry had appeared in the south of the city, and that the flag was that reinforcements from the Union Army had arrived.

Camille looked at the calmness on Nina's face, and he immediately knew that the lord had already left a back hand, and then thought about it, it turned out that his general who defended the city was just a false name, and the real defender was on the way here.

At the same time, to the southeast of the city of Karta, Mike led the cavalry regiment of the Angolan steppe galloping across the plain, the wind and sand rising behind them, and the cavalrymen's mouths emitted the characteristic hiss of Angolan herdsmen, and the sharp sound seemed to indicate the imminent death of the enemy of them. The fearless Angolan cavalry raised their weapons above their heads and quickly reached the advance of the Peace Army.

With his excellent riding skills, Mike was the first to rush into the battlefield and slash at an archer, the soldier had not yet shot the bow and arrow in his hand, he only felt a cold on his neck, and then tried to blink his eyes to see the reality clearly, only to see his body standing there, and the human head was gone. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed into the battlefield, and they galloped unscrupulously in the front line of the peace army, as if they were in a no-man's land. The forward forces of the Peace Army, mostly archers and catapults, had little ability to resist the Angolan cavalry regiments.

This cavalry regiment, which had not been opened for a long time, seemed to have gone from the desert to the oasis, and the cavalry rushed forward one by one, wielding bayonets and double-edged axes to kill the poor Peace Army soldiers.

The sunset dyed the sky red with blood, and the front of the peace army that was scattered by the cavalry regiment began to retreat, and the red-eyed cavalry regiment was obviously not enough, they frantically pursued and killed the deserted and fled the peace army, each cavalry waved a weapon, and a peace army fell to the ground, and Ryan, the commander of the peace army, saw everything in front of him, and immediately ordered the troops to retreat, and he received the news that Kenny had raised his troops to attack the city of Saint's Virtue, but he didn't expect to have such a hand.
