Rise of the Empire Total War

"The enemy has finally retreated!"

Seeing the coalition forces retreating like a tide, the city wall was suddenly plunged into a sea of ​​cheers, and every soldier couldn't help cheering, feeling lucky that they survived this tragic fight.

The Danish lieutenant Tooragris, who was covered in blood all over his body, stood among the cheering crowd and heaved a sigh of relief. His arms, sore from the continuous high-intensity fighting, were also hanging on his sides. Viking, who had always felt light At this moment, the tomahawk and shield suddenly became heavy.

At this moment, Condela, who was also the deputy general, led the replacement troops up the city wall. He saw Toolagris who had almost become a blood man at a glance. He was shocked and hurried forward, saying: "Too Lagris LaGris, are you alright?"

"As long as I have enough rest, I can fight for His Majesty Richard again." Seeing that it was Condela, Tooragris said with a big mouth, and said with some reluctance, how could Condela not understand his words? Reluctantly, he smiled and said: "I was ordered to replace you, you are all doing well, go down and rest."

"Okay." Toolagris nodded without being pretentious, and directly greeted the soldiers who had been fighting for a day to leave the city wall together, and gave up the fighting post to Pao Ze who came to take over.

However, the coalition forces did not launch another attack in the next few days. Richard guessed that the tragic casualties in the first few days might have frightened them, so he changed his strategy and did not attack.

Richard didn't care, so let them besiege the city. Anyway, the poor coalition forces didn't have a navy, so they couldn't pose a threat to Richard's command of the sea. As long as he still firmly held the command of the sea, the coalition forces couldn't threaten him.

He could even take advantage of the fact that the main force of the coalition forces gathered in Bell Harbor, let the navy transport part of the troops to land behind the coalition forces to open up a second battlefield, so that the enemy could not look at each other from head to tail, and fell into a dilemma.

Yes, he finally made up his mind to let Sigurd lead the navy to attack the empty city of Ravana - according to the information brought back by the spies sent by Sigurd, the city of Ravana was empty, and Bandak took almost all All the troops were taken, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled.

In addition, he also brought back a very important piece of news. The residents of Ravana City were very dissatisfied with the Winster coalition forces invited by Bandak, and they were also dissatisfied with Bandak's rule. Bandak may be a qualified military general, but he is definitely not a qualified ruler. Even in the Cork Territory, he still manages the territory with his subordinates.

This gave Richard a lot of room for movement. Perhaps when Sigurd led his army to break through the sea wall and land in the city along the Fabrici River, not only would the local residents not oppose Richard's army, but they would also join the road. Welcome, as long as Sigurd can make good use of it,

Taking the city without bloodshed is not a problem.

So, under Richard's instruction, Sigurd took his fleet to carry part of the army slowly out of the port of Bell Port on a dark and windy night, away from the coastline and head east, waiting to be far away from Bell. After the siege camp of the port, it sailed close to the coastline until it entered the Fabrici River.

...

After several days of sailing, Sigurd's fleet finally returned to the mouth of the Fabrizi River they had blocked. Since Richard's naval threat has been lifted, there are merchant ships sailing here again, and Sigurd decides to Following Bundak's previous tactics, he intercepted several merchant ships at the mouth of the sea, coerced and lured the captains of the merchant ships to cooperate with him, bought half of the goods in the warehouse at market prices, and used the remaining half of the space to load fully armed The soldiers, those sailors were also replaced by their own soldiers.

Then, the merchant ship went up the Fabrisi River and sailed all the way to the city of Ravana.

The war has been far away from the capital of the Ravana Kingdom for almost half a month, but the traces of the siege on the city wall are still faintly visible, and the craters hit by the catapults silently tell people the tragedy of the war.

Looking at the crater on the sea wall smashed by the ship-borne ballista, Oldmag was a little emotional. Half a month ago, he was besieging the city as a soldier, but now, he was actually a sailor on a merchant ship. The identity of the sailor revisited, although the identity of the sailor is false.

The news of the siege of Port Bell by the coalition forces had already been sent back to the city, so the defenders seemed not worried that Richard would be able to counterattack back, and the management of the waterway was very lax. They only let the captain go after questioning, and even searched the cabin. None, which surprised Oldmag. They conquered the city by water, and they didn't strengthen the management of the sea wall.

He wronged Baden, the interim governor of the city. Although the determined heir to the throne is full of ambitions to manage the city, but he has no choice but to obey others. Everyone thinks that they occupy the general power now. He was too serious, so he always dealt with the orders from above hastily.

They never imagined that it was because of their perfunctory that the history of Bundak's use of disguise to seize the outer city was repeated again.

Standing on the deck, Oldmag admired the scenery along the Fabrici River curiously. The buildings in the outer city of Ravana City are very crowded, especially the buildings built on the Fabrici River. There are even many houses. It is built on the water, and the bottom is fixed with thick pillars.

He also noticed that although the building destroyed in the siege battle half a month ago is still in ruins, much of the wreckage has been cleaned up, and reconstruction work is underway.

Although the entire city has experienced several months of war and harassment from the Winster Expeditionary Force, it still develops stubbornly. After all, she is the heart of the entire kingdom and the residence of the king.

Soon, the fleet sailed into the mooring area. The captain of the merchant ship called the soldiers disguised as sailors to go to the cabin to carry the remaining half of the cargo. Oldmag did not move, he stood quietly on the deck and observed Regarding the security situation in the inner port of the city, there are not many soldiers deployed in the inner port of the city, but a group of dozens of patrols patrolling there, apparently to maintain law and order here.

Looking over the surrounding buildings and looking towards the city wall of Ravana City, there is a soldier standing every tens of meters on the city wall, and a patrol team passes by from time to time. It seems that the security is heavily guarded, but Oldmag knows , all of this is just an appearance, the real situation in Ravana City is tight on the outside and loose on the inside, everything is just a bluff.

After thinking about it, he didn't inform the soldiers hidden in the cabin to take action, but joined the ranks of moving the cargo. He first shared his thoughts with the soldiers in the cabin, and then walked down the port with the cargo, and with the commanders of other merchant ships, discuss.

Actions during the day are prone to failure after all, and the best time to act is at night when the moon is dark and the wind is high.
