554 Battle of Xilin

On 15 August, Snowton's small force of rangers began to cruise around the city of Severa.

Most of them came from the scout troops of the Central Route Army, equipped with two horses, and were agile and alert. The Northwest Theater is a flat river, and if there is an enemy sneak attack, you can see it from a distance and flee quickly. Ian's army had set up several ambushes, but they had few successes, so they also gave up this idea and just held the city and let the other side snoop on it.

"Even compared to Vanuna, Severa is not far behind. A team of rangers, stationed on the slow hill to watch, the sharp-eyed captain, looking at the big city in the distance, couldn't help but sigh.

As the defensive core of the Northwest Theater, the city of Severa is second only to the holy city of Ranken in the sequence. There are three layers of inner and outer walls, the lowest of which is the outer wall, which is 20 meters high. In addition, in terms of architectural layout, it also adopts a unique "double fort" structure. Viewed from the sky, Severa resembles a large crab, with huge pincers stretched out on either side of it.

It was two towering fortresses, connected to the main body of the city by a wall. The fortress is divided into four layers, 36 meters high, and the bottom two layers are built with huge stones, and the interior is completely filled, which is integrated and unusually strong. The third floor houses ordnance, and the fourth layer has a circle of square holes for archers to shoot. On the top floor, there are also bed crossbows and catapults, and these two fortresses and city walls are also blessed by divine power.

With a perfect range of firepower, the "Twin Forts" are a great threat to the besieging side. However, due to the terrain, the other directions of the city of Severa are not suitable for large armies to fight, so the enemy can only attack from here.

"If there was no river in the south of the city, it would be much easier. A dark, thin Ranger spoke. In the past few days, they have surveyed various areas outside the city of Severa. In order to provide reference materials for the following military operations.

"These are all issues that the generals need to consider, and they have little to do with us. The Ranger captain replied, turning his horse's head and waving. Signal to return to the camp.

"We're coming back soon, aren't we?" asked another ranger, casually. He has a fair complexion and a beautiful sword at his waist, which should be of noble origin.

"If the army arrives in Severa, we'll be sent further south, and the scouts will always be further ahead of the front," the Ranger Captain smiled. added, "Besides, before the end of the war in Xilin County, the imperial army will not go south lightly. ”

"Yes, I heard that after the capture of the Northwest Theater, the king will reward the meritorious deeds and divide the land that has been occupied. The ranger who asked the question just now spoke. "The empire wants to rule here completely, so it is natural to be solid and consolidate its advantages. ”

"I don't know, how is the fight over there in Xilinshire...... the rangers galloped and looked northwest.

The war in Xilin County was tepid.

The stout commander of the Western Route Army, Ebert. He is the favorite general of King Nacini, and in the military sequence, he ranks third after Kudran and Cattroman. Prior to the war, he was the supreme commander of the Northern Metropolitan Guard Theater. He was mainly responsible for the siege of Vanuna, which shows the trust he receives.

The "Horse Rejection Spear" among the heroes of the Five Lands is from the command of Ebert, and even the Knights Templar have no way to deal with the iron hedgehog-like spear array. He is steady in his use of troops, and he does not lose the opportunity to change, and he is a handsome talent who is enough to take charge of himself. Therefore, King Nacini appointed him as the commander of the Western Route Army, and led the Fourth, Fifth, and Seventh Army Corps of the Southern Expeditionary Army, as well as most of the "Horse Dragon Spear", to attack Xilin County and clear the flanks for the Central Route Army.

In the entire "War of Kings", Albert was not a dazzling one. But he has always been the staunchest supporter of the Lion King, and even in the face of ups and downs, he still abides by his original vows.

Due to Frodo's experience, Albert did not dare to persecute Sillinshire too much, lest the Holy See of Light break the jar and once again convert the entire city of soldiers and civilians into fanatics.

In addition, he was tasked with discovering the secrets of the Church. In the next war, the Southern Expeditionary Army could never bypass the hurdle of the county town. If you encounter Frodo's situation every time, there is no need to fight this battle.

For various reasons, the offensive of the Western Route Army was quite "gentle". Albert did not give his best, but kept adding fuel to the fire, testing the other party's hypocrisy.

At the same time, Snowton's mage troops also carried out research on the magic array on the city wall.

At the current rate, I'm afraid it won't be until a week later that there will be a breakthrough in the battle in Xilin County.

Snowton South Expeditionary Army, Large Battalion.

On the north side of the camp, an area was specially divided for the red dragon Pringer to rest. It is a sandy area with a slight depression in the middle, covered with a layer of dry pine sulfur grass. The dragon leaned down and snorted comfortably, spewing out a cloud of spark-infused smoke from its nostrils.

Several soldiers of the logistics unit drove a few cattle and sheep over with trepidation. However, when there were still a hundred paces away, the cattle and sheep were weak on all fours, and they collapsed to the ground, and all the feces and urine came out.

The coercion of the dragon is especially evident in these animals.

"Slaughter it, wash it and send it over. Davide jumped out of the saddle, wrinkled his nose, and commanded dissatisfiedly.

"Yes, yes!" the soldiers replied with a nod. Those cattle and sheep couldn't stand up, so they even carried them and pulled them before they could get them away.

"Pringer, I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you later. Greeting his mount, the dragon, Davide turned to leave, just in time to see Cartroman, walking towards him.

"Marshal!" he immediately stepped forward and gave a bow to his chest.

Cat Roman, dressed in civilian clothes, was somewhat out of place in the well-groomed barracks, but no one dared to gossip.

What if he didn't wear armor, could anyone break through the protective strength of a legendary warrior? The large battalion of the Southern Expeditionary Army was all the elite of the empire, and it could be called a lot of talents, and even the high-ranking warriors could find a lot. But if Cattroman is the light of the sun and the moon, they are the light of fireflies, far from the same.

In the whole of Snowton, except for King Nacchini, only Villanoo and Cattroman, Davide was afraid. Among them, the latter is even worse. Therefore, he stood respectfully and solemnly in place, waiting for the order of the commander-in-chief of the Southern Expeditionary Army.

"Coming back?" said Cartroman, smiling gently, "Come to my tent, there are some things I want to discuss with you." ”

"Yes, Marshal," Davide asked tentatively, "I don't know exactly ......."

"It's about Allegri. Carter replied cheerfully, and at the same time, he looked at him with a smirk.
