Otherworldly Castle Era
Vol 3 Chapter 55: Occupy the fortress
This ambush was quickly over, and the enemy troops escaped from the siege, which was less than three floors in total. This was also because of the long and narrow terrain.
"General! We should take advantage of the victory and pursue, take advantage of the situation to seize the northern pass, and close the door to beat the dog!" Lu Su immediately suggested that the enemy army fled.
When formulating this action plan, Di Qing, Lu Su, and Zhang Wei booked several plans. One of them was to take advantage of the situation to seize the northern pass.
Lu Su's suggestion was in line with Di Qing's heart, and Di Qing immediately ordered: "Okay, order the whole army to pursue!"
Speaking of chase warfare, it's a great skill for cavalry! They will make the enemy feel the sense of despair that he can't escape no matter how he escapes!
When the fast-moving cavalry is chasing the enemy, the enemy has no choice but to survive again and again with a short tail.
Otherwise, the cavalry will use their powerful mobility and impact to let the enemy know what there is nowhere to escape.
But even if the troops are sent off again and again, it is just a way to quench thirst by drinking poison, unless the opponent has reinforcements!
------------
At this time, after Amon ordered another troop to break, including the first team, this was already the fifth army he sent out to be responsible for the break.
But every time they didn't wait long, the strange cavalry behind that made them daring to fear and fear will soon catch up, especially the heavy cavalry of the enemy cavalry, which is full of iron armor, which makes them terrified.
This small number of heavy cavalry will cost Eamon's men a lot every time they charge. It should be known that his men are the most elite unit south of the Hatten Tauhai Mountains, even the bow-hunting archer who hunts the bow. It is incomparable.
Emon, because he was responsible for guarding the fortress of Hatengtaohai all the year round, and protecting Shang Dao from the harassment of those powerful territories outside the northern fortress, he was awarded the title of guardian knight by the lord.
But now, he has a hunch, I'm afraid this war is not that simple.
Since Aimon received the support order from the lord, he has led all the elites of the fortress to support.
What he didn't expect was that after more than three days of marching, he was about to reach the city where Lord Lord was, and he was immediately ambushed by the enemy.
Fortunately, his soldiers are all elite and well equipped. Even ordinary pikemen have a leather armor that can protect their chest, so the loss is still within an acceptable range.
Emon also saw the legendary sound like a sky thunder, which can launch weapons that can explode iron balls. Of course, he can't let the enemy go wild like this. He immediately asked the soldiers to launch a counterattack and prepare to destroy or capture the enemy's weapons.
But the next battle shocked him!
Whether it is the enemy forces that are moving forward and backward in an orderly manner, ordering and prohibiting, or the enemy's generals' grasp of the fighters, he is very shocked.
He has never seen an army like this, especially the enemy’s heavy infantry in iron armor. The combat effectiveness is extremely powerful. After forming a battle formation, the elite fighters he has been proud of are even harder to counterattack. The hard things are all different.
Seeing that the counterattack ended in failure, Emon saw that he could only choose to break through, but before he ordered the direction to break through, the enemy cavalry arrived and gave him a blow.
Finally, under the three-sided attack, his soldiers reduced at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he decisively ordered a breakthrough towards the fortress.
After Eamon led the few remaining soldiers to successfully break through the encirclement, the cavalry behind cut through the entire road, rushed up, and launched a pursuit war against them...
"Guardian Knight! The front is Hatten Tauhai Fortress, we are almost there!" An officer by his side reported to the desperate Emmon.
Aimon raised his head when he heard the words of his officers, and looked at the fortress between the two mountains, feeling very cordial. He has been here since childhood!
"Look at fast entering the city, the cavalry behind is estimated to catch up again!" Eamon cheered up and instructed the officer under him.
"Yes, Lord Guardian Knight!" After the officer took the order, he organized the few soldiers into the city.
Eamon looked at the few soldiers left behind, and made some statistics. There were only about 1,000 soldiers who could return to the fortress safely, only about one-tenth of the time when they were dispatched.
This made him very scared, sad, and a trace of fear and despair from the heart!
Eamon can be respected by his subordinates because he is different from other dignitaries, that is, he values his subordinates as soldiers, and does not think that these soldiers are weightless consumables. This may be related to his experience. Maybe his men are all elite related...
No matter what, he felt sorry for the soldiers who didn't return, and he was frightened by the defeat.
"Hey~!" Standing on the wall of the fortress, Eamon sighed deeply as he watched the cavalry chasing from a distance, and ordered helplessly: "Send someone to ask for help!"
If this order for help was not a last resort, he really didn't want to give it. After all, it would be very embarrassing for him to have an old opponent for decades to support him.
Before supporting, Eamon knew that this war was to protect the "Continental Pact" and to conquer the new territory that broke the Convention in the south, so he was not afraid that the old opponents in the north would not come to support. .
It’s just that he doesn’t know if he can stick to the day when he arrives with support!
"Order all the young and strong civilians in the fortress to go up to the wall for defense! Also, prepare to demolish the house!"
------------
"Order! The whole army attacked!" Di Qing saw the collapsed city wall and decisively ordered the attack!
This is the fifth day of the pursuit, and the remaining enemies behind have been handed over to the cavalry led by Zhang Wei to clean up-who makes the cavalry more mobile!
The infantry also arrived outside the fortress one day ago. After nearly a day of bombardment by field artillery, after successfully preventing the enemy from standing on the head of the city, Di Qing sent artillery with gunpowder to the root of the city wall~www.wuxiaspot.com~Start Gunpowder was buried.
The wall of the invincible fortress in the eyes of the enemy was destroyed by a wave of swaying mountains, and by the way countless enemy troops were crushed!
Following Di Qing’s order to attack, the first to enter the city was the heavy infantry in front.
This fortress in the eyes of the enemy has two walls, front and back, one south and one north. To the north, the city wall outside the mountain range is extremely tall and strong, even taller than the wall at Tianchuan Pass, but it does not have the complete city defense facilities at Tianchuan Pass.
The city wall facing Shangdao City in the south is not so strong, it is just an ordinary city wall.
According to the information obtained by Chen Ping, it is said that there was no such a wall to the south in the past. However, the prevention wall was built only after mercenaries attacked the fortress.
But no matter what, this fortress is now under the control of Xia Guo!
"Enlighten General! This pass has been taken by our army, and all the enemy troops stationed there have been killed!" After Lu Su integrated the battlefield intelligence, he reported to Di Qinghui.
As for why the enemy was "killed", it was because Xia Guo did not accept captives in this war!
"Well, very good, drive away the civilians in the pass to prevent accidents." Di Qing stood on the tall city wall in the north of the pass, looked at the vast world outside the pass, and said with his back to Lu Su: "How about the casualties of our army?"
