Duke Seleto's reinforcements were indeed stunned directly, they didn't know what was used on the other side like Conrad, or they fought according to their previous combat experience, so the situation was to end up with Conrad. After the machine gun fire was completed, in fact, Duke Seleto's troops had stopped advancing, which was really no way to go up, although there were still many soldiers who were not killed by the machine guns because of good luck, or especially the people on the other side, but they didn't dare to move forward at all, and at this time, Ted's troops launched a charge in turn, which was not a second round of fighting at all, just a second round of slaughter.

The sound of the "bang bang" rifle sounded, and the remaining soldiers of the Duke of Seletto began to fall one after another, and the people who reacted turned around and began to run away after seeing the people in front of them start to fall again, and the non-commissioned officer couldn't stop shouting. This so-called surprise attack force did not have any resistance at all in the face of the modern armed troops, and soon, the soldiers fled, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the troops were directly dispersed.

There is no threat to this surprise attack force now, and the trouble is still the troops on Conrad's side. Although the defeat of the other party is now decided, Conrad's retreat is very resolute, even if his own reinforcements appear, the other party has no intention of turning back, and will withdraw when he says withdraw.

I have to say that this really gave Ye Junwen and them a headache, first of all, although this wave of reinforcements was simply defeated after that, but when it first appeared, it still attracted a wave of attention, although it only attracted for a while, but this still made Conrad and their troops slightly retract the formation. The troops still retreated in an orderly manner in formation, which made it difficult for the pursuing soldiers.

The more effective is the pursuit of cavalry, the damage caused by their pursuit is still very large, if you can break up the enemy's formation, the effect will be even better. However, the opposite side was indeed a well-trained soldier, although it was a bit miserable to be chased by the cavalry, but the formation was still maintained, just not chaotic.

Seeing this situation, Ye Junwen really hoped that he would have two modern equipment troops, so Conrad really had nothing to do, but now there was only one, and they were still dealing with Duke Seleto's reinforcements, so there was no way to participate in the pursuit.

In this way, Conrad's troops fought and retreated, and although the losses were heavy, they still managed to retreat to the west, out of the most dangerous plains. The western part of the country was more wooded, which made it difficult for the cavalry to attack, so they had to face only the pursuit of the infantry. As long as the formation is not chaotic and retreats slowly, the loss will not be so big.

"This Conrad is really a turtle." Seeing this situation, Ye Junwen couldn't help but say.

"I have to say that he still has a lot of combat experience, and although he was defeated, he still saved a lot of troops before inflicting the greatest losses." Hegar next to him said.

"The ammunition of the special forces is almost used up, and if you go up after coming back to replenish it, it is estimated that there will be no time to pursue." Ye Junwen said, "In this case, you may have to let the other party go." ”

"Hmm." Hegar also nodded, "Then what about us, continue the pursuit or retreat to repair first?" ”

"Of course, it's a continuous pursuit, and you can do as much damage as you can." Ye Junwen said, "What are you going to do when you go back?" ”

So Ye Junwen's troops chased Conrad's troops all the way to the west, although the other party's retreat was orderly, but after all, it was a retreat, and their soldiers would not face it, so the pursuit along the way was also a big price for the other party. This chase lasted for 3 hours, and finally chased all the way to the city of Maranville, where the Fifth Army was located before, and the opponent's troops entered the city directly, and finally stopped.

In this battle, the troops of the Fifth Army can be said to be a great defeat, not only lost a large number of troops, but also left all the equipment and supplies of the troops, and they could only retreat into Maranville City, otherwise they would be exhausted all the way to the pursuit. However, soon, Ye Junwen's troops who pursued him surrounded the city of Maranville, and the current situation has not completely resolved the crisis.

"Siege?" Hegar looked at the city of Maranville in front of him and asked, although the city of Maranville is not a particularly strong city, but now they don't have any engineering equipment, they originally came to fight a decisive battle on the plains, what are they doing with siege equipment. So those things were kept in the previous Admid City, and if they were to be transported, it would take them a day.

"What else can I do?" Ye Junwen said, "Let's try a little to see if we can blow up the city wall, if it doesn't work, we can only attack the city." ”

Ye Junwen didn't have much confidence in blowing up the city wall, although he really had a bomb in his hand, but looking at the thickness of the city wall, it might be more troublesome to blow it up directly, at most one piece would collapse. But you can't get in if it collapses, you still need to cooperate with siege weapons, and you still need people to put bombs, you are a fool when you are inside, and the people who see you will not shoot arrows in the past. As for the long range, the most destructive is the bazooka, but the bazooka hitting the city wall has no reaction, the power is not enough, this must be artillery.

There is no way, if they don't solve Conrad's troops, they can't continue to go west, otherwise they are likely to be stolen PI shares, so they still have to find a way to deal with the rest of the people. Ye Junwen also said that he was indeed too confident after having a gun, which was still a bit of a mistake, although the frontal troops did defeat the enemy's main force, but the other party retreated in a timely manner.

As a result, the troops of the First and Second Coalition could only besiege and repair the city on the one hand, and at the same time deploy siege equipment from the side of Edmid City, and then make some simple ladders and other things from local materials, which was obviously preparing to attack the city.

Of course, the people in the city are actually much more anxious than them, on the one hand, because of the new defeat, on the other hand, they also saw the city surrounded by the enemy's army, and their reinforcements have not been defeated before, that is to say, they have no reinforcements, which has already killed a group of their own people, can the Duke of Seleto send people over again?

Anxiety spread throughout the city, and the soldiers were clearly demoralized. Of course, Conrad also found out about this situation, but he didn't say that there was any way, so he could only try to appease the soldiers, and of course the effect was not very good.

Obviously, the war has come to this side, and everyone thinks that the rebellion of the Great Prince this time will end in failure, because the strongest combat power on the Great Prince's side is the troops of their Fifth Legion, and they have also been defeated by the First and Second Coalition Forces, and now they are still besieged and trapped here, which seems to be going to lose.

Once they lose, and the soldiers know what their fate will be, this rebellion is a real capital crime, the kind of crime that cannot be forgiven, then they will all be finished.

Of course, Hejiaer and Ye Junwen also guessed what was going on in the city, so of course they also tried to make the other party surrender directly, so that they saved a lot of time, and they could return to the main city immediately after solving the Fifth Legion. So he also sent someone to send a letter of surrender to General Conrad. Of course, it's very good, if you abandon the darkness and turn to the light now, they will try their best to get leniency for you in front of the emperor and the like, after all, the rebellion is too big, and you are obviously lying when you say that you will be 100% protected and so on. But the soldiers can still guarantee it, which means that if you surrender now, your soldiers will be able to save their lives.

It's not just for General Conrad, they are recruiting ordinary soldiers to surrender, constantly sending people to shout under the city, asking these soldiers to surrender and so on. Anyway, the siege equipment hasn't arrived yet, so let's surrender a wave first, and if you don't succeed, it's okay to hit the opponent's fighting spirit.

Seriously, the effect of this surrender is very good, and when they heard the shouts below, the soldiers were also ready to move, and no one wanted to die, did they. The atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense, and the non-commissioned officers began to worry about whether the soldiers would mutiny and arrest them and surrender, so when they saw the surrender letter, many non-commissioned officers also began to be a little moved.

And Conrad, on the other hand, hesitated a little this time. He is not unclear about the current situation, but he really can't surrender for reasons, but for his own personal reasons, he really can't pull all his subordinates to die with him, so he is very hesitant.

After thinking about it for a while, General Conrad finally replied to the surrenderer to give him a day to think about it, that is, to let him come back tomorrow. Of course, the people who surrendered were just passing on a word, and they quickly went back and told Ye Junwen and them the news.

"If there is no refusal, it means that there is hope." Hegar said that to be honest, he is very optimistic about this colleague, so he also hopes that the other party will wake up. Conrad's ability is indeed very strong, and this defeat is also because of Ye Junwen and those new weapons, when encountering this kind of thing, let alone Conrad, anyone will be hit.

"Whether there is hope or not, we can't attack the city now anyway, we still have to wait for tomorrow." Ye Junwen said.

It's true that there is no way to attack the city now, just wait for a day. So the Combined Legion waited for a night while maintaining the siege, and as soon as it was dawn the next day, Ye Junwen was directly called. Rushing to the conference room, Ye Junwen learned a news that surprised him, it was not Conrad who had decided to surrender, but the west...... Something went wrong.
