Chapter 437: Dispatch in the Night
The repercussions and tremors caused by the Black Dragon King's bombardment were extremely terrifying, and after the earthquake caused by the shelling, there was soon a city-wide riot in Gainesburg.
Yin Side stood in his Admiralty's Palace, looking through the window at the panicked residents fleeing, his face pale.
The adjutants and officers behind him turned pale and kept persuading Yin Side to leave the city.
They more or less knew why this terrible pirate had come to this place, and the city of Botlion could not have been shelled because of the presence of Her Royal Highness the Princess, but not Gainsburg!
This pirate was just a deterrent just now, if the time is up, and the cannon bombardment of Gainesburg is really launched, then there will be no Gainesburg city in this world from now on!
Yin Side clutched the hilt of the saber at his waist, he had never encountered such a humiliating scene in his life.
If you do not retreat, you will die, and it is not necessarily glorious to die, but it is a great shame to retreat!
Just as he was hesitating, an officer rushed in and breathless: "Great, my lord!"
"What's the matter?" Yin Side turned his face and asked grimly.
"Come, come!" the officer exclaimed.
Yin Side said in a deep voice: "What's coming?"
"Sea, pirates! These pirates are ready to land!" said the officer.
With a bang, the officers and Yin Side in the council hall suddenly poured out of the Admiral's Mansion and rushed to the walls of the inner city.
On the city wall, Yin Side took a look with his eyes, and suddenly saw that the battleships on the sea put down one small boat after another, and the small boats were full of warriors with shining armor and gold!
"Could these be pirates?!" Yin Side gasped, he could see clearly that the light reflected by the armor on these pirates showed that each one was worth ten gold coins!
"When did the pirates become so rich?" Yin Side thought that the things in front of him were simply ridiculous, "Shouldn't these guys have tattered clothes and a stench all over their bodies, and some of them have broken hands and feet?"
These guys actually have a pair of armor for each person, and it's a beautiful armor with full coverage!
Even your own barracks can't make a full armor for everyone!
Yin Side had a strange look on his face and muttered, "Are these pirates too rich, or are we too poor?"
The officers around him looked embarrassed.
But in fact, although Tang Jie is rich and the pirates under his command are not poor, these soldiers in exquisite armor are the magic legion under Fiona.
Although Tang Jie's use of the Black Dragon King's artillery bombardment has achieved a huge deterrent effect, Fiona, Nia and others are still very incomprehensible: why did Tang Jie not directly raze Gainesburg to the ground, but chose a place so far away from Bothelane City to bombard?
Wouldn't it be more deterrent to just raze the city to the ground?
Tang Jie only smiled slightly in the face of doubts, smiling like an old fox who had become a spirit.
"Oh, dear Fiona, stop asking questions with questions on your face, you'll grow old easily. Tang Jie smiled and pinched Fiona's nose, "You'll know the answer soon." ”
Fiona flew away and giggled, "I'm going to know the answer now!"
Tang Jie pouted: "Okay, you lend me a legion, and I'll tell you." ”
Fiona snorted, "Didn't I borrow your two legions?"
Tang Jieha smiled: "Can I be mobilized without your order?"
Fiona said triumphantly, "It's good that you know, let's be honest with the reason first, and then I'll think about it." ”
Tang Jie turned his head, glanced at Nia, who was smiling silently next to him, and sighed: "I really can't do anything about her, if I can't beat her, I will fight with her." ”
Nia and Fiona laughed at the same time.
Tang Jie smiled and said, "You say, if I send a magic legion to land in Gainesburg, will Bowline City send troops to meet it?"
Nia and Fiona stopped laughing and showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while, Nia said, "Yes!"
Fiona also nodded: "It should be, Grand Duke Poly can't withstand the reputation blow of defeat without a fight." ”
Tang Jie nodded and said, "That's right, since they came to fight, then I have to stir up this water a little more muddy, so that the muddy water is easy to fish!"
Fiona and Nia winked as if they didn't understand.
Things turned out to be as Tang Jie expected, in the face of the large-scale landing of the magic legion with less than 2,000 people, the soldiers on the Gainsburg turret only symbolically fired two cannons and fled.
Soon, the port, the outer city walls, turrets, towers, and city streets all fell.
But after the magic legion captured half of the city area of Gainesburg, the troops drove to the square, and then stopped, and the soldiers rested in place, lighting fires and cooking, and the appearance of the garrison of Gainesburg was like nothing.
On more than one occasion, the enraged Admiral Yin Side tried to rush down to the city to fight the rampant pirates, but more than once he was held back by his lieutenants and subordinate officers, and escaped from Gainsburg to Bowline.
After receiving the military information from Botling, Grand Duke Poly quickly ordered 20,000 heavy infantry and 1,000 light cavalry, 3,000 pikemen, and 20 magicians under his command to rush to Gainesburg.
However, to Tang Jie's surprise, he did not find the banner of Grand Duke Poly in the military formation of these soldiers.
"This guy didn't come?" Tang Jie was full of doubts, "Or did he hide in the barracks and didn't come out?"
However, the battle situation that soon occurred made Tang Jie unable to think too much about this.
After a little formation, the soldiers of Botlion City launched a ferocious attack on the Magic Legion, and the Magic Legion, with its own strong and terrifying combat power, was outnumbered by one and ten, and with the help of Fiona, it was entangled with the soldiers of Shira in the central square of Gainesburg for a whole day.
On this day, nearly 2,000 soldiers were killed in the battle of Botlion, and the magic legion only lost 12 of them with its own strength and Fiona's terrifying magical support.
The huge casualty ratio caused the morale of the soldiers in Bowline City to start to shake badly, especially at night, when another magic army began to land at night, and the two magic legions merged into one and launched a ferocious night attack.
The soldiers of Bothelane City were suddenly thrown into chaos, and a large number of soldiers were scattered and routed by the strong charge of the magic legion, and then turned and fled in the direction of Bouterline City.
The Magic Legion, on the other hand, took advantage of the victory and captured Gainesburg and did not continue the pursuit.
Tang Jie took the night troops, picked up the armor and clothing of the soldiers of Bowlinen City, dressed himself as a deserter, mixed with the defeated soldiers, and ran wildly towards Bowtlene City.
"My lord, we're almost there. Giljiko, the captain of the night, whispered beside Tang Jie.
Tang Jie nodded, he could already see with his eyes a huge black shadow standing in the dark night, there was no doubt that it was Bowtray City, and his Angel was inside.
Even the most disciplined soldiers will become a chaotic swarm of bees when they are defeated, and these defeated soldiers will beat the gates under the gates and shout loudly.
The officers at the gate threw several torches at the ground, and after seeing the situation clearly by the light of the torches, they cried out, "Are there any pursuers behind you?"
The defeated soldiers shouted: "No, they didn't catch up!"
After the officers repeatedly confirmed their identities, they released the defeated soldiers into the city, and Tang Jie and the Dark Night troops also rushed in with the flow of people.
After entering the city, Tang Jie and the Night Force found an opportunity, flashed out of the crowd, came to a dark corner, took off their armor and clothing, and began to assemble various tools and weapons such as short crossbows.
By the time they confirmed the residence of Grand Duke Pauly, it was already late at night, and after the onslaught of the defeated army, the city became panicked, and many residents gathered in the streets and alleys to discuss the pirates in horror.
Soon, a large number of vigilant soldiers in the city were dispatched, loudly announcing martial law in the city, and those who dared to go out late at night and did not return were all killed.
The prestige of Grand Duke Poly was unmatched here, and soon calm was restored in the city.
Although this kind of calm made Tang Jie and the others lack the opportunity to fish in troubled waters, the strict guard still couldn't stop these elves in the dark.
Tang Jie and the Dark Night Force were more than a dozen people, all dressed in night clothes, none of them wore shoes, they were running fast in the dark corners, ordinary people couldn't see their figures at all, and they couldn't hear the slightest sound of footsteps.
This force, which surpasses the military philosophy and military literacy of all armies in this world, is like a fish in water in this city.
The inner city wall with a height of more than 20 meters did not block the shadow of the night troops at all, and the strict security did not resist their infiltration.
When it was about two o'clock in the evening, Tang Jie and the Dark Night troops had completely infiltrated the mansion of Grand Duke Poly.
After Tang Jie asked about Angel's whereabouts from the mouth of a guard, he cut the guard's throat without hesitation, and then soon a night soldier came up, sprinkled the waiter's wound with a unique medicinal powder, so that his blood would not flow, and then moved his body to a corner, not only to prevent his corpse from being discovered, but also to avoid the blood he shed from causing others to be alerted.
Tang Jie touched Angel's house all the way to the guard's mouth, and he sensed the situation in the room with his breath a little, and indeed felt that there was a familiar breath in it that was gasping slightly and calmly.
He gently picked the latch with his dagger, then pushed the door open, and at a glance saw a blonde woman lying on a bed, with a slender figure and a beautiful face, it was Angel!
Tang Jie smiled slightly, gently came to Angel's side, and covered her mouth with his hand.
Angel's mouth was just covered, her eyes suddenly widened, she woke up in horror, and without thinking about it, she stabbed the person with the small scissors that she had been holding tightly in her hand.
Tang Jie grabbed it with one hand, made a shushing gesture with his fingers, and then smiled at her: "Do you sleep well?"
Angel saw that it was Tang Jie, a touch of ecstasy bloomed in her eyes, she let go of the scissors in her hand, hugged Tang Jie tightly, and her arms were hard, eager to rub herself into Tang Jie's body.
Tang Jie smiled and patted Angel's back, like coaxing a child, and said softly, "It's okay, I'm here, I'll take you home." ”
Angel's body tightened, and he broke away from Tang Jie's arms violently, and said with horror in his eyes: "Be careful, Grand Duke Poly is here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a low laugh sound: "Come if you want, leave if you want, when I am here in a hotel?"
