Hatangada town

The light cavalry of the Second Legion of the Lord's Army, hearing of the defeat of the Heavy Cavalry Regiment at the hands of the Bena coalition forces in the southern valley, immediately retreated to the town.

In fact, this light cavalry regiment did not want to go to reinforcements, but the heavy cavalry regiment was wiped out after only half a day in the valley, and there was also a mage regiment staring at it in the air.

The commander of the Second Legion was Cyrus, the third son of Lord MacDonnell. Commander McDonnell.

In the lounge of the town hall of Hatangada, Sellers sat on a wicker chair and frowned, staring at the map on the wall, unable to figure out how the heavy cavalry regiment suffered a crushing defeat, the heavy cavalry regiment was his biggest hole card, even in the battle of Talapakang, he was basically able to retreat in one piece.

He tilted his head, pinched the corners of his eyes with his hands, and thought with his eyes closed.

There was so little information coming back from the battlefield, and the light cavalry scouts had brought back only that the valley had been shattered by a fireball dropped by the magician.

Could it be that the Magical Guild of Bena Province sent the Archmage to cast a meteor shower in the valley?

Cyrus stroked the two swarthy mustaches on his lips and was silent in thought.

He is also the most conceited member of the family, and has always considered himself the most military and leadership talent in the family.

He thought that the heavy cavalry had been attacked by the magicians, but he didn't think that the three thousand heavy cavalry had been blown to pieces by Surdak's black powder.

Now he retreated to the town of Hatangada with five thousand light cavalry, and found that almost no heavy cavalry could escape from the southern valley, and he regretted it somewhat...... I was a little too hasty this time.

What's the use of regret?

Now he can only wait for the infantry regiment to arrive in Hatangada on time, so that he can also hold on to the town with the town's defenses and keep the rebels south of Hatangada.

'Grois is stupid! Cyrus cursed inwardly.

If it weren't for his delusional desire to use the power of the Dark Arts Hermitage, it is estimated that the Magical Guild in Bena Province would not have directly joined the camp of the Bena Alliance......

But now those dark mages led the Hell Legion to bite back, and they have occupied four important towns in the northern region in a row, I don't know how the battle situation is in the north, Alvin's situation should not be as difficult as his own.

The current MacDonnell family can't support a two-front battle with Mukuso alone, otherwise the infantry regiment wouldn't have moved so slowly, and there should have been a carriage......

In just one day, his cheeks and eye sockets became somewhat collapsed.

"Young master, the nobles of the town have arrived." At the door came the voice of Bob, the second butler of the MacDonnell family, and his most effective helper.

Sellers got up from his chair, straightened his military uniform, and responded:

"Right away."

The voice was a little hoarse, and the attendant on the side hurriedly handed over a towel.

He took the hot towel from the squire's hand, wiped it on his somewhat haggard face, calmed his mood quietly, and looked in the mirror to make himself look refreshed, so as to give some confidence to the noble lords of Hatangada.

In fact, he didn't have much faith in himself.

Taking a deep breath, he walked out of the room, his leather boots slamming against the hallway floor with a dull sound.

He put on a momentum to make himself, so every step was heavy.

The attendants around him knew that he was in a bad mood and did not dare to provoke him, and their steps were as light as possible, which made him look particularly abrupt in the corridor......

Strode into the conference hall and stood directly on the podium.

He deliberately kept his tone low, and said in a calm voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Resistance is now only fifty kilometers away, and perhaps tomorrow morning when we wake up, the town of Hatangada will be surrounded by a large army, and unfortunately, my Second Legion Heavy Cavalry Regiment has just been defeated in the southern valley."

"If you don't want the Resistance to storm the town tomorrow morning and take away all the wealth you have accumulated over the years, I hope you can send out all the private forces in the manor, and we will form a city defense self-defense force in the town to guard the town of Hatangada."

Well-informed people knew the news of the defeat of the heavy cavalry one step earlier.

"Master Cyrus, what about your infantry regiment?" A nobleman asked curiously.

Sellers tore open the curtain on the wall behind him, revealing the map that had been prepared long ago, and pointed to the avenue between the city of Mukuso and the town of Hatangada with his horsewhip, and said, "The infantry regiment is still on its way here, and if there are no accidents, it will probably arrive in the town tomorrow afternoon." ”

"As long as my infantry regiment comes, the town will be able to hold it."

Then he added, in a firm voice.

"In order to strengthen the defense system of Hatangada Town, I also brought twelve bed crossbows from Mukuso City this time......"

Hearing this news, the noble lords present immediately seemed to be in high spirits, and everyone was full of confidence.

Everyone is having a lively discussion......

"Master Cyrus, I'll let my minions join the Self-Defense Forces."

A noble lord patted his chest and reassured.

Seeing that some people expressed their positions, other noble lords also said:

"We'll ...... too"

The meeting was a great success, and Sellers seemed very happy.

……

Sellers owns a house in the town of Hatangada.

In the restaurant, Cyrus's dinner was a medium-rare meat steak, cut it with a knife, the bloody gravy flowed down the knife, he cut a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, he felt that his hungry stomach seemed to be awakened, he swallowed several large mouthfuls in a row, the juice overflowed from the corners of his mouth, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a snow-white napkin, and poured himself another sip of red wine.

The adjutant cautiously walked in and said:

"Master Cyrus, it's time to make an appointment with the noble lords to meet in the central square......"

Sellers stood up, took two more pieces of brioche from the basket, stuffed them into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Let's go." ”

The adjutant followed him with a worried face, and the carriage stopped in front of the gate of the house.

In fact, it's not that far from the central square......

The carriage stopped next to the empty central square, and Sellers realized that there were very few private soldiers who had come to the square to join the guards, not even two hundred men.

He stepped out of the carriage and looked at the scattered warriors in the square.

When all the nobles released the pigeons, his face turned red with anger, and he slapped the stone carving at the fence of the square with a horsewhip in his hand.

The cronies next to him stood a little farther away, for fear that they would also be whipped.

Instead, the officers who came with Sellers stood by with expressionless faces.

A fast horse galloped down the street, the hussar scouts were almost attached to the horses, and the pedestrians in the street avoided the streets, and the hussars ran straight to the central square and handed a roll of parchment to the officers who met them.

Then the hussar rode away in a hurry.

The officer opened the scroll, walked over to Cyrus with a frown, handed it over and whispered, "My lord, there is movement on the rebels' side, they are rushing to the town of Hatangada overnight!" ”

"So fast?" Cyrus stared slightly, and said with some surprise.

An officer frowned and said, "It is estimated that tomorrow morning, we will be able to see their army under the city walls." ”

Cyrus's face turned pale all of a sudden, and he hurriedly asked:

"Have you arranged the guards on duty at night?"

The officer said calmly: "It's arranged!" ”

Cyrus patted him on the shoulder and told him seriously, "Keep an eye on it, and don't make any mistakes until the infantry arrives." ”

"Got it." After the officer finished speaking, he immediately led the people away.

Sellers took a deep breath and walked over to the less than two hundred privately armed warriors.

……

Surdak ended the battle on this side and quickly rushed to the town of Hatangada with 20,000 heavy infantry regiments, and surrounded the southern city of Hatangada town.

As soon as the sky was bright, 10,000 hoplite warriors dressed in black iron armor stood neatly outside the town of Hatangada, and a two-kilometer-long horizontal row was formed outside the southern wall of the town, with the shields of all the hoplite warriors standing in front of their bodies.

The battlefield was filled with an aura of slaughter.

The walls of the town of Hatangada were also filled with guards with longbows.

The mages are also in the camp of the heavy infantry regiment, and they are all ready, and the task of the mages today is mainly to extinguish all the bed crossbows in the city.

With these battles, there have been no more hellhounds and demon minions in the ranks of the lord army, and these magicians don't want to help the Bednar army fight the Macdonnell lord army, these are the lords' own business, and the magicians don't want to participate in it at all.

However, Archmage Morrison and Archmage Harper stood up and overwhelmed the crowd and ordered the magicians to actively cooperate with the heavy infantry regiment to complete the siege.

The two-headed ogre, as the main attacker, was inspecting the heavy armor pieces on his body, and he was preparing to attack the south gate of the town from the front.

A week ago, Surdak made some preparations for the storming of the town of Hatangada, for which he also used forty four-wheeled carriages to rebuild a batch of siege vehicles, this kind of siege vehicle is to fix an inclined ladder to the wagon compartment, and install guardrails on both sides of the ladder, heavy infantry soldiers only need to push the siege cart under the city wall, and the infantry soldiers can rush up the city wall along the ladder.

When ten carriages run in parallel, a wide avenue can be erected over the city walls.

The walls of the town are not very high, and the height of the front end of the engineering vehicle is completely customized according to the height of the town's city wall.

These siege vehicles appeared in the field of vision of the city defense guards, and everyone's worries were a little more.

The Second Legion now has only 5,000 light cavalry left in the town of Hatangada, and defending the city with light cavalry actually has no advantage, and the only thing to be commended is that their archery skills are not bad.
