Chapter 54: Aaron was not taken into account

Count Nilcha's Heywood was the focus of the meeting, and when King Griffos said that Walls wanted to attack Harrungosburg to the west, Heywood jumped out. As someone who hasn't made a name for himself in recent times, it's too glaring for him to appear now.

Heywood made a request, and he reminded King Graves to beware of Wall's attack on Harryangsburg before marching south to attack Marasburg.

However, this suggestion obviously did not attract the attention of King Graves, and he still carried out the previous battle plan as always, and Idenjarr and Rudejarr had been sent to the front line by Wall, which fully showed that Walls wanted to fight to the death on the plains of Veruga. Therefore, King Griffos was killed, and he did not believe that Walls would attack Marasburg. Moreover, Marasburg is a dangerous terrain, and it cannot be captured in a short time. I believe that Walls will not attack Marasburg for such a big setback, even if Marasburg is captured, there is the city of Aaron as a transit point, and King Graves can quickly deploy troops to deal with Walls' surprise attack.

Heywood knew that his own advice would not make King Graves change his mind, so he quietly withdrew, as the facts will tell.

In fact, as Heywood said, Walls sent troops, and due to King Griffs's policy of shrinkage, there were not many troops in Harlyangsburg Castle, and Wall took the castle without breaking his blow, and then he gathered his forces again and continued to attack Marasburg. Walls had already made up his mind that this time the operation must be secretly protected and not let anyone else know, and at the same time he would take Marasburg at night as quickly as possible.

The plan was implemented as soon as Walls had carried out, and in Marasburg, the army led by Walls continued to storm the castle, it was a moonless night, and many Nord soldiers were carrying torches, and when the Rhodok soldiers saw these sudden enemy troops, they were inevitably a little frightened, originally they all thought that the battlefield of the decisive battle was in Viruga, and they were really lucky to be able to defend Marasburg. They were all ordinary soldiers who had been screened and left, and the soldiers of Viruga who had been transferred were all elites, and at this time, Walls let Jack and Alleyne take the lead, and the others also went along.

The spears of the Rok people are not good at dealing with the Nord warriors, the spears and broadswords are easy to deal with the cavalry, the Svadia knights and the cavalry of the Kugit Khanate will be hit, but in front of them is the infantry corps known as the number one on the continent, the Nord warriors have increased with their husbands, and Marasburg, which has only more than 200 people today, cannot withstand the impact of these berserkers.

Corpses and blood were the decoration of this castle, and soon in less than half an hour, all the soldiers in this city had been killed by Wall, and only a few fish had slipped through the net.

Walls arranged this time very well, called the group to surround this castle, basically not many people can escape the encirclement, maybe the fish that slipped through the net will gradually escape from here to Aaron in the south, and Walls's ambition is also manifested at this time.

The capture of Marasburg is only one of his links, and now he has to take Aaron in one fell swoop while Aaron does not know the news that Marasburg has been breached, and the reason why Wall was able to capture Marasburg as quickly as possible is mainly because of the presence of Arteman, his engineering skills have reached the peak, and in a short time he designed a siege tower and many siege ladders, which made the plan to attack Marasburg successful. However, when facing a large city like Aaron, more siege towers and siege ladders are needed, which cannot be completed in a short time, so Walls thought of another way to attack this city.

Aaron was one of the cities of the kingdom of Rhodoc, and robbing a city of wealth was one of Wall's goals, and it was extremely helpful to weaken the local economy so that it could be used to attack the entire national system.

Walls immediately sent people to the south non-stop, and he personally led the team, with Jack and Alleyne as the vanguard, and himself chose the queen.

The group of soldiers led by Jack and Alleyne changed into the costumes of the soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom to coax the enemy soldiers. The number of this group of soldiers was about 50 people, and the defenders of Marasburg totaled more than 200, and when Jack and Alleyne arrived at the city of Aaron, it was still at night, and the defenders above could not see the faces of the people below, and they could only hear them say that Malasburg had been broken by the Nord Kingdom, and they were the remnants of the defenders who had escaped, hoping to enter Aaron.

Originally, Aaron's lord had already followed King Graves on the expedition, and this time the people who stayed in Aaron's city were just ordinary officers, and the decision was in his hands, and when he heard that the defenders of Manas Fort had retreated here, he immediately opened the city gate and let this group of people in.

But what he didn't expect was that this approach was simply luring the wolf into the house, Jack and Ellene's soldiers were waiting for news from Wall, as long as the city gate was quietly opened at this time and Walls' troops were put in, Aaron's city would be self-defeating.

Just as Jack, Alleyne and others entered Aaron, the army led by Wall himself came to Aaron's city. The soldiers and officers defending the city were all taken aback, they had just learned that Wall had breached Marasburg, and in the blink of an eye, Wall's army appeared in front of Aaron.

However, when they were surprised, they also suddenly found that Wall's army did not have too many siege ladders, so it was impossible for them to break through the city in a short time, and if Aaron had not sent messengers to communicate with other places, they would have known that Aaron had been surrounded, and they would definitely send troops to save Aaron. The soldiers of the Rhodok Kingdom have come to their senses, they know whether the country is in crisis now, and holding on until the last moment, waiting for reinforcements to arrive is the best way for them to save their lives.

But before the lives of the majority can be saved, the lives of a few will be lost. Although Wall's army had relatively few siege ladders, they still faked the ladders for the siege, and Aaron's officers were a little puzzled by this style of fighting with eggs and stones, such a small number of siege ladders could not capture Aaron at all, as long as they destroyed this siege ladder, they could only shout under the city.

Aaron's officers couldn't wait to hear the angry shouts of the Nord troops. He hurried to the top of the city wall himself, but when he approached the city gate, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, the soldiers who had been guarding the city gate had been killed, and standing in front of them were the remnants of the defeated army that had just escaped from Marasburg. It was only at this moment that the Aaronic officer realized that he had been tricked.

It was too late, the city gate had been opened by the group of spies, and then Wall's main force advanced directly into the city gate, and the ordinary Rhodok soldiers did not even react, only to watch as the enemy soldiers rushed into the city one after another. The first few soldiers to react had already been killed by Jack and Alleyne. What followed was a painful battle for the city.

The army of the Rhodok Kingdom, which has lost the city wall as protection, has no chance to resist the charge of the Nord Kingdom at this moment, whether it is in terms of numbers or the quality of the army, an army led by Walls can firmly suppress the Rhodok Kingdom.

Aaron's officers were no longer able to command, and the scene was chaotic, and no matter how much he gave orders to his own soldiers, his own group of soldiers ignored him.

Confusion and fear had permeated the hearts of this group of soldiers, and in any case, in the face of an enemy force that was far outnumbered by himself, these second-line troops left in Aaron could not resist it at all.

It was only a one-sided massacre, and soon, the streets of Aaron's city were covered with corpses, most of which were soldiers from the Rhodok Kingdom, and only a few of the soldiers of the Nord Kingdom.

After Wall rushed into the city first, he immediately locked on the Aaronic officer who was trying to save the situation, and without saying a word, the group of war horses that Wall rode directly bent his bow and arrows, and only heard a whoosh, and a sharp arrow immediately passed through the head of the Aaronic officer, who was originally wearing a helmet on his head, but Wall's sharp arrow was far stronger than the hardness of the helmet. So the helmet had been shot through his head. The officer is dead, and the little situation that the officer has just recovered has collapsed.

There is no doubt that the defeat of the Rhodok Kingdom has been decided, and Walls no longer has any other plans, and quickly ordered his army to rob the wealth of a city, and then leave immediately, this is the hinterland of the Rhodok Kingdom, if you live here for a long time, you will be attacked by the enemy, Rhodok Castle is full of forests, although Marasburg has been captured by her surprise attack, but this does not mean that she can hold on to a castle. After all, King Griffos was extremely familiar with this place.

I'm sure we'll be able to find a way to break through Marasburg quickly.

As a result, Walls had less than 200 men left behind in Marasburg. If King Graves had mobilized more than 1,000 men to attack the castle, he would have been able to capture it in one day.

His army was already exhausted after two battles in one night, and if the enemy was coming to attack at this time, the combat effectiveness would be greatly reduced, and Walls prayed that the news would not be delivered too quickly. However, he also made a clear calculation that even if King Griffos got the news, it would be tomorrow at the earliest. This allows him to rest for half a day.

After a night of tossing and turning, the Nord soldiers robbed the city of its accumulated wealth, and when all the goods were loaded and unloaded, Walls arranged for people to take turns to rest, partly to prevent the remaining Rhodok army in the city, and partly to deal with the raiding army sent by King Griffos.

The deserters who had fled in the city of Aaron quickly brought the news to the villages and castles along the way, and the news passed through the heralds in the inn and immediately reached the ears of King Griffos.

At this time, King Griffos suddenly realized that the troops of Idenjarr and Rudyarl were just a front, and what Wall really wanted to attack was actually his own Aaron.

He immediately called Heywood, who had reminded King Griffos to defend Marasburg that he should really listen to Heywood's advice.

However, before they could reach the castle hall, King Griffos was the only one present, and none of the other lords, guards, or other servants who brought tea and water. It was a secret meeting between King Griffivs and Heywood.

"I should have listened to your advice, and now the news has come that Walls has breached Manasburg, and on the same night Aaron. In this case, our defensive line in the west will have to recover some more, and we must regain the lost territory as soon as possible. ”

Aaron and Marasburg originally belonged to the beauty of the Locke Kingdom, these are the core territories, and the people in them are the original people of the Rhodok Kingdom, and they all respect and love King Griffos, which is completely different from the Swadia people in Harongosburg and Uxhall, their original king is King Harlaus, and it is impossible to love King Griffos for a while.

Therefore, the recapture of Aaron and Marasburg was imminent.

"After two battles in one night, Walls believes that the soldiers are now exhausted, and it is better to take the opportunity to seize Marasburg and cut off Walls's retreat, so that Walls's army will be like this side of the fog, and it will be difficult for him to feed his army in the absence of supplies. As long as we take a little longer, besiege him in the territory of the kingdom of Rhodoc, and add some peasant armies, although these peasants are not equipped to fight in battle, they are huge in number, and they are defending their territory, if Wall does not have enough food, he will definitely take risks to rob those peasants of food, so that we can gather enough people to fight against this large army of Walls. ”

Heywood didn't even think to say his plan directly, and it was clear that he had already figured out the next battle plan when King Griffws didn't take his advice.

This time, King Griffos had followed Heywood's advice. Immediately he personally went out and led 1,500 men to take Marasburg.

In Viruga, there are troops from all over the country transferred to Viruga, and the total number is now about 2,000 people, which is a considerable number, although some of them are still of low quality and lack of combat capability, but they can still make up for the shortcomings by virtue of their numbers.

At this time, Walls was still letting his army rest, dealing with and fighting when they were tired, and they had fought a whole night of fighting last night, under Wall's careful arrangement, Walls did not rob the property of those poor people, first, because they had relatively little property, and Lai Xinwei robbed them of their last bit of property, they may rebel desperately, which is extremely unfavorable for their temporary stationing in this city. So Walls took aim at the nobles and wealthy who were small in number and had huge pockets and were the best targets for plunder.

Just as Walls was about to leave Aaron, a change of heart occurred. The herald from Marasburg told Walls something he didn't want to know.

Marasburg has been breached by the army led by King Graves himself, and the road that Wall wants to leave has been blocked to death, since King Graves has received the news that Wall is leading his own army to run rampant in the territory of the Kingdom of Rhodok, he will definitely strengthen the defense in the major castles, which has caused the dilemma that it is difficult for Wall to leave.

Without a supply team to supply food for himself, he can only sweep around the territory of the Rhodok Kingdom, but this will also incur the resentment of the ordinary people of the Rhodok Kingdom, and it will inevitably cause the country to rebel in the end, which is extremely inconvenient for conquering here.

As a result, Wall was in a dilemma, but he had also tried to think about how he would return to his country if his back road was cut off.

"Go east."

Walls said to his men, this news was like a bolt from the blue, it was hard to believe, it was supposed to go east, there was a gathering place for the army of the kingdom of Rhodok, if he came from afar, the enemy army would be at ease, and it would be a heavy loss. If you go like this, won't you be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

However, since Wall was a commander who used his troops like a god, his prestige in the eyes of the soldiers was naturally extraordinary, and after a short pause, everyone quickly began to pack their things and go to their destination. This time the army marched with Wall, and Wall's army had looted most of the wealth of the city, of course, the most serious victims were naturally the rich people, and the biggest reason why the rich people were able to occupy the top position in this city was naturally because they had a huge amount of wealth. Now that Walls has robbed them of all their wealth, they have become exactly like ordinary people.

As for what happened to Aaron later, Walls didn't care about it, and the top priority was to get out of here as soon as possible, so as not to be surrounded by King Griffos, no matter how he said that he was in the enemy kingdom, and the food supply was seriously consumed. The wealth that was snatched from Aaron was a great deal of inedible gold and silver treasures, which had to be exchanged for food in the villages along the way, but it is not known whether the villagers would be willing to exchange the food in their hands for the gold and silver treasures when their army advanced into those villages.

King Griffws brought Heywood directly to his side this time, and he felt that Heywood was clever enough to help him deal with Walls in some way. After the easy capture of Marasburg. King Griffos imprisoned the remaining Nord soldiers in the dungeon. and told them that their leader, Walls, had fled with the rest of their troops.

This was done to discourage the will of those soldiers, but the effect of King Griffois was extremely weak, and he was still so tall in the minds of the Nord soldiers, that King Griffos could not have touched the hearts of this group of soldiers with just a few words. In desperation, King Griffos restarted the plan, this time he decided to capture Walls alive, as long as Walls was captured alive, the morale of the remaining group of Nord soldiers would inevitably be hit, and Walls, known as the god of war of the Nord Kingdom, was defeated by himself, and I believe that the Nord Kingdom will not attack him again in a short time.

At this time, Heywood suddenly suggested to King Graves that he should give up Aaron for the time being, just send a small number of soldiers to occupy a city, King Grievous has received the news, Walls has given up Aaron, and has not sent a soldier or a general to garrison a city, it can be said that this city is already an empty city, King Graves accepted Heywood's suggestion and sent part of his troops to Aaron, of course, this is only a small part, if Wall continues to attack Aaron, I believe that the city can be easily taken. However, Heywood expected that Wall would not come back to attack Aaron, he had already taken what Aaron wanted, and there could be no next attack.

Originally, according to Heywood's thoughts, Walls should come back to attack Marasburg, but this time it was Heywood's original idea, she and King Griffos's idea was exactly the same, but soon both of them denied their ideas, Marasburg had occupied the geographical advantage, and now King Graves led a large number of troops to be stationed here, and if Walls attacked it, it would be in vain. In that case, Walls wouldn't do such a thing.

"Then there is only one strategic goal he wants to achieve, and it is clear that he wants to join up with Idenjar and Rudyar in Viruga and capture Viruja together."

Heywood suddenly realized that at this time, King Griffos did not think that he should not take Heywood with him, so that Heywood could help Count Mateas to help Count Mattas against Eden Yarrudeyar and Walls.

"Without further ado, gather your forces and stop Walls when he reaches Viruga."

And so it happened, and King Griffos hurriedly led his main army to the south, without paying any attention to the city of Aaron.
