Chapter 295: The Battle of Tania (Part I)
"Hurry up, take action, and hide everything for me!" In Tania City, led by thousands of Predators, they formed a small team with tens of thousands of civilian warriors equipped with weapons and armor, hiding in all corners of Tania City, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to the Scotts.
Tania City is a small city with a radius of only ten miles, usually has a permanent population of 100,000 people, and the garrison is only a few hundred people, after the mutation of the Principality of Iron Mountain, most of the civilians in Tania City fled for their lives in a panic, and a group of Predators gathered here, because the city defense facilities here are intact, if used for defense, it is more than enough, even in the face of the attack of tens of thousands of troops, it can resist one or two.
The houses in Tania City are characterized by solidity, and the people of the Iron Mountain Principality, which is rich in iron ore, do not mind pouring iron juice in the middle of the houses built of boulders to strengthen the houses, and even those who have special preferences, the whole house is simply made of steel, and the defense power, without a dozen magicians joining forces, can not destroy the iron shell.
It was noon, and there were only a few men standing at the head of the city of Tania, and it was Joseph and a few thin, thin-blooded predators who looked weak. Joseph has already received an order from Prince Rogie from the Scott side: surrender or die!
In the distance, the headquarters of the first division of the first army of the second army of the Scott Kingdom, 20,000 well-armed soldiers slowly advanced towards Tania City, among these 20,000 people, there are 5,000 light cavalry, 15,000 infantry, as the first combat sequence unit within its corps, the combat effectiveness of the first division is undoubted, and it is also famous in the entire group army. They are even better equipped. Their record was enough to throw off the rest of the legion a few blocks away. So, they are a little proud.
Mike Larry was the commander of the 1st Division, with the rank of major general, and this was a military commander with a blend of faces, like an aristocratic lord more than a general. In fact, Mike Larry is indeed an aristocratic lord, oh. No, it's the descendants of the nobility, just a month ago, the family behind Mike Larry operated through various connections, and Mike Larry was promoted to the position of the head of the first division, the ace division, for this expedition to the principality of Wiki to gild.
Yes, in the eyes of most people in the Scott Kingdom, the army of millions of Scott Kingdom against a nascent principality is simply a crushing war without suspense. So, in the eyes of many. The troops who went out this time will undoubtedly receive great merit. And the kingdom of Scott has not launched a large-scale war for many years, and in peacetime, it has led to all kinds of bad habits within the army, and the power of the nobles has penetrated into every corner, so without the knowledge of King Scott and Prince Rogie, among the five million troops on this expedition, half of its officer class has been replaced by children of nobles who do not understand military affairs.
Fortunately, the nobles of the Scott Kingdom also knew that there would be battles on this expedition, and regular officers were needed to command them, otherwise they would want to replace the officers of the entire army with their own children! In fact, there is no way to do this, the nobility bill of the Scott Kingdom stipulates that when the children of the nobles inherit the title, if they have not made any meritorious achievements, the title will be cut off from the first-level inheritance, so in the face of this once-in-a-lifetime and victorious war, many nobles, especially those nobles whose titles have been cut to the end, have exchanged their families for their children for a position as an officer in the army, so that their children can go to the army to gild, so that they can come back and inherit the title safely.
Mike Larry has a very large background, is a big nobleman in the Scott Kingdom, so he won the position of division commander for him, and Mike Larry often fights and brawls in King Scott City on weekdays, and the family elders think that his "military ability" is very good, so he handed over the important position of the commander of the first division to Mike Larry.
At this moment, Mike Larry was riding on a white horse with a silver vest, and Mike Larry, who had two mustaches, had a fair complexion, a flirtatious expression on his face, and some deep-set eye sockets, obviously indulging in wine for a long time, and his whole body looked very strong, wearing a mighty general's armor and a scarlet cloak, but he looked majestic.
The 15,000 infantry of the 1st Division was in the middle, and the 5,000 cavalry were scattered on both flanks, and when the whole advanced to a distance of 1,000 meters from Tania City, they stopped, and Mike Larry, under the escort of his own family's personal guards, stepped forward dozens of meters and shouted loudly: "O Iron Mountain people of Tania City in front, I am here on behalf of the great Scott Kingdom, I am the great General Mike Larry, how have you thought about our construction? Are you stupidly resisting us, or are you obediently surrendering?" I advise you to surrender obediently, because I, Mike Larry, and the 20,000 troops I have collected are here, so you must surrender, and do not cause the necessary casualties, and let's sit down and play with women and drink!"
Although Mike Larry is a gentleman, but under the effect of his family's potion accumulation, his strength also has the realm of a fourth-order low-level golden knight, and when he shouts at this moment, it is a full of neutrality! However, the first half of Mike Larry's words are okay, although he is a little proud, but the soldiers of the first division can still explain that their country must be the greatest! But, Mike? Larry's words later made many soldiers of the First Division blush, who would have thought that His Excellency the commander of his division would actually talk to the enemy about playing with women and drinking, do you think this is a party or a play house for the children of the gentlemen?
"I've decided to surrender to the other side!" Joseph's eyes flickered at the head of Tania City, and he said helplessly to several Predators around him, and then shouted loudly to Mike Larry: "We have decided to surrender, Tania City welcomes the distinguished guests of the Scott Kingdom!"
"No, you can't surrender like this, Colonel Joseph, we Iron Mountain people will not surrender, I don't allow this to happen in front of my eyes! Iron Mountain people would rather die in battle than give in!" Suddenly, a junior officer next to Joseph yelled excitedly, and his words clearly reached the ears of Michael Larry and other Scotts.
"Berner, do you want the whole city and thousands of brothers to bury you? I can't help it!" Joseph also looked excited, and his eyes were full of helplessness and screamed.
When Berner heard this, he was even more furious, stepped forward and grabbed Joseph's shoulder, and pleaded: "Colonel, don't surrender, please lead us to resist to the end!
"Shut up! you want to die, I don't want to die, I'm sorry!" Joseph suddenly threw a heavy punch as if he had made some decision, and with one punch the junior officer named Berner knocked him unconscious, and then, Joseph himself raised the white flag, and opened the city gates himself, and put on a posture to welcome the 1st Division into the city.
"Hahaha, cowardly Tieshan people! Listen to my orders, the whole first division entered the city, and we took Tania City without a single soldier, which is a great feat! Go back and ask for credit for the big guys, follow me Mike Larry, if I eat meat, there will definitely be you who drink soup, I am a very kind person!" Seeing that Joseph chose to surrender, Mike Larry suddenly became triumphant, thinking that the other party surrendered because he was afraid of him, and immediately gave the order to enter the city.
"My lord, no, this is very likely to be a trap on the other side's side! The people of the Principality of Iron Mountain, but they are very cruel, they will definitely not surrender so lightly, there must be some conspiracy in this!" Just as Mike Larry was happy, the deputy commander of the 1st Division stood up, thinking that Tania was a fraudulent surrender and should not be trusted.
Mike Larry was immediately unhappy, the deputy division commander of the First Division had not been replaced, and he was still the deputy division commander of the original First Division, but now the guards and a large number of officers around him were all children of the nobility, and in front of so many children of the nobility, Mike Larry's order was questioned, so he was naturally not happy.
"Colonel Mark, please pay attention to your words! Conspiracy? Where did so many conspiracies come from? You must have read too many legendary novels, right? You see, our Scott Kingdom has an army of more than five million people attacking like a torrent of steel, who in the Principality of Iron Mountain can stop it? Tania City is a small city, and its armed force is probably less than a thousand, right? We have 20,000 well-trained elite soldiers, even if they have an ambush, we don't need to be afraid! Enough, do my bidding, or I'll suspect you've betrayed your loyalty!" Mike Larry suddenly shouted loudly, and at the end, a big hat of betrayal was about to be put on the head of Mark, the deputy commander of the 1st Division.
"You...... I hope that as you say, the city of Tania has really surrendered, not an ambush!" Mark was about to say more, but he was pulled by his own soldiers, and he couldn't help but be discouraged, and reluctantly obeyed Mike Larry's order, and let the army advance quickly into Tania City.
Soon, Mike Larry rode a heroic white horse to the gate of Tania City, and when he saw Joseph, he couldn't help but tap Joseph's chest with his horsewhip, and said with a smile: "What is your name......?
