Chapter 76: Tucheng

On the vast plains, the weeds turned green and withered, and the misshapen saplings dropped the last few leaves.

Until the arrival of thunder, which broke the tranquility of this plain.

Tall earth-walking dragons roamed ahead, and the dwarven craftsmen happily pasted the last few scales on their bodies, their heavy bodies leaving deep footprints on the soft earth.

Juston rode a dwarf earthwalker behind him, and the bear goblins thundered on the soil of the province of Turang.

The fledgling province was almost defenseless against him, and the Turang family was painstakingly running the earthen towns that had sprung up in the province, and on the plains, there were few boulders and trees, and the only way to build adobe houses was to build them. Every earthen city meant power, it meant a large number of people, and the members of the Turang family were busy fighting for power and profit all the time.

"Woo!" a majestic horn sounded, and it was heard far away, because after a long march, some of the militiamen who were tired heard the sound of the horn were shocked, and the footsteps of the march were much louder.

There is nothing to say at this time, declaring war is just an attitude expressed to the outside world, Lei Ming will naturally not be stupid enough to tell the Turange family at this time: I have already arrived at your territory, I will wait for you to deploy troops and we will fight again!

That's too stupid, he still has some time now, the Turang family has no defenses now, he can take the opportunity to occupy more territory and create an atmosphere of oppression.

The family's private soldiers under the command of Mulendo have already explored the location of the city and the deployment of troops in front of them, and Thundering's ultimate goal is to capture the castle named "Eternal Heart" that the Turang family built on a ruined ground, which shows the ambition of the Turang family.

The army was overwhelming, and the black pressure was overwhelming, and even if they walked between the wide fields, they pulled out an extremely long line of troops, at least, the soldiers standing on the edge would never be able to see the other end, it was too far away, and it was beyond their field of vision.

A cowering army hangs far behind the army, they are the envoys who follow Princess Karina, after Princess Karina was kidnapped, they want to come to Xingshi to ask for their guilt, and at the same time try to make up for their mistakes in not protecting Her Royal Highness, but Lei Ming has long made up his mind to detain Princess Karina, how can they get people back? Moreover, when they came back to their senses, they were already surrounded by a dense army, and the fierce bear goblins almost scared them to death, who had been fearless with their own numbers, plus a private army of the Turange family, their team had more than 3,000 soldiers, but they only woke up at this time, and the other party was more than ten times more numerous than them!

The mission was immediately much more honest after being intimidated by Mullendo, only the private soldiers of the Turang family were terrified to get the news back to the family, however, how could they do it under strict surveillance, but any slightest sign of movement had been cleared, they were like a herd of sheep in the free-range, and the butcher's knife could fall at any moment.

"Bastard, you have what it takes to let me out!" In a carriage that was walking side by side with Thunder, Princess Karina was still shouting in Thunder's ear, the carriage was completely sealed, her hands and feet were not tied, but there was no freedom, and she couldn't go out to breathe.

"What do you call me?" asked Thunder lazily, a stern look that scared Karina and shrank again.

After a while, and after the anger continued to rise, Karina began again: "Thunder, let me out, or my father will not spare you." ”

"Dear princess, didn't you notice that I was protecting you? In front of me is an earthen city of the Turang family, and the war is about to break out, what should you do if you get out of the carriage and be injured?"

"Woo!" the bear goblin sounded his horn again, a swift and powerful attack!

Qilin closed their armor and grabbed the five-meter-long cavalry in their hands, and the earth dragon began to run at the urging of their leader, the earth began to shake, and the militia also trotted under the urging of their respective non-commissioned officers, and the heralds and the elite family private soldiers ran forward and backward, forming a torrent that rushed across the plain.

Karina closed her mouth in some fear, and cowered in the corner of the carriage, the jolting under the wheels made her even more nervous, and her face was a little pale, and the war began with the sound of the horn.

In the distance, on the earthen city, the militiamen standing at the head of the wall on duty have not yet come to their senses, the monotonous days on the plain have been gradually accustomed to them, countless people in the earthen city are busy cultivating small plots of land, and repairing their adobe houses, and the farmland planted with winter wheat is outside the city, now only sparse farmers are busy, many of the lords belonging to the Bourbon family are doing heavy work under the whip of the overseer, mainly in the construction of the huge city lord's mansion, as long as a few months later, the people who have fled will find themselves living the old life again, only more scarce。

The slight vibration of the ground woke up the napping militia, carefully staring at the black torrent that was crushing them, and after a long time they did not react, their ears buzzed, as if there were countless noisy whispers, until the tall earth dragon gradually enlarged in their eyes, and the numb militia ran away crying and screaming, or, calling the private soldiers of the family, these militiamen only do this kind of shift work, they are not paid, they belong to the service, and the private soldiers of the family are paid to support, so, in the event of a possible battle, the first reaction of the militia is to run back, what kind of battle let the family private soldier goBecause if they don't receive a call-up, even if they die, they won't be compensated, and the militia are not stupid.

The clanging sound exploded in the earthen city, and the private soldiers of the Turang family began to gather, and they would not be annoyed when they encountered militiamen fleeing to their homes on the way, but they would inevitably kick these useless mud legs, while scolding the leaders who were in a state of rebellion.

As the army approached, the shaking of the ground became more obvious, and Kawamori Turange, who was sitting in this earthen city, climbed the earthen wall under the protection of the guards, just glanced at it, and was immediately frightened by the rolling torrent, and his legs were weak, as if something had exploded in his head, and it was difficult to escape, he had never seen so many troops, even when the family first swept away the beasts, he was far from using so many soldiers, so many soldiers were killing him, could he not be afraid?

As the third son of the Marquis of Tulange, Hesen has a very good life, and his status in the family is also good, and the family has a great momentum of rise when it is difficult to escape, he is naturally more and more arrogant, but this does not mean that he has any responsibility, after being helped down by the guards from the city wall, his first thought is to run away immediately, counting his guards in this earthen city, there are less than a thousand private soldiers, and if you count the militia, you can pull out three or four thousand, and the earthen wall is not very strong, staying to resist is definitely a dead end, and escape is the most important thing.

Therefore, when the army approached the city, Hesen had already ordered his private soldiers to escort him to open the gate on one side and escaped, and there was immediately chaos in the city.

The earth dragon easily overturned the low city walls, these walls made of earth were not as strong as a ring of wooden walls, the timid lords cowered in the earthen embryo houses and fought with their teeth, only some rich people in panic packed up some of their possessions and fled along the open gate of the river forest, they actually did not know what was happening until now.

"Young Master, do you want me to lead my troops to chase down those who have escaped?" Murendor hurriedly ran to ask Thunder for instructions.

"No, we're not going to stop here, let them bring the panic all the way back!"

Lei Ming categorically refused, he now found that, as old Sean said, the militia under his command does not need much combat effectiveness, the number alone is enough to scare away the private soldiers defending the city, this tens of thousands of Tucheng soldiers took it down without blood, and did not encounter any resistance after entering the city, according to the custom, as long as the army raises the flag into the city, the surrender is not killed, so, under the banner of the Bourbon family, the residents of the city knelt on the ground, all surrendered, there are many Bourbon family leaders who are excited to have their brains congested, and there are also Tulange family leaders who faint with fear, and all living beings are in a variety of states。

Lei Ming did not delay in this earthen city, gathered some militia that originally belonged to the Bourbon family, collected all the weapons, and threw this earthen city to the family militia who were still being beaten and working, and it is estimated that after they left, those who bullied their Turang family will be miserable......

What Lei Ming was thinking about was that it took about ten minutes for them to blow the horn to charge just now, and it took about ten minutes to arrive at Tucheng, he wanted to take down this Tucheng in one go, after all, it was the first battle, and there was no room for mistakes, but he thought about it now, in fact, there was no need to charge at all, just push it over, the momentum of the army's slow advance was enough to crush the defenders of this kind of small city, and the charge was just a waste of the physical strength of the soldiers, Lei Ming smiled dumbly, and secretly said that his experience in commanding operations was still not rich enough, if Old Sean was here, he would not let the army charge。

The army stayed in the earth city for less than an hour, and when they left, many of the militia were smiling, although there were non-commissioned officers supervising them, but the frightened residents more or less stuffed them with some benefits, whether it was food or silver taylor, anyway, as long as there was a harvest, compared to fighting the jackals, they found it easier to attack such a small earth city, and for a while their confidence doubled, and when they left the earth city, their momentum soared.
