Rise of the Empire Total War

While Seplin and his soldiers were eating the dark food cooked by the farmer's family, in Abadran, an army with a yellow double-headed eagle flag on a black background marched along the pavement. The avenue entered the fallen country. The number of this army was about 4,200. Its commander was the Danish commander Toolagris who had just conquered the Kingdom of Delj and was ordered to go south to help the Ramirez battlefield. .

I forgot to mention that on the way he came, he received a commendation order from Richard. In the letter, Richard had already promised to make him the lord of Dukang and Ganyue, and his second-in-command Hulk Li will also be canonized as the earl of Cooley - even, Richard also promised that if Toolagris can conquer the Kingdom of Ramirez in one fell swoop, he will be canonized directly as the Duke of Delj, becoming the The first duke of the whole kingdom!

With Richard's promise, Toolagris was eager to try. He ordered the army to speed up the marching pace all the way. In less than half a month, he marched along the convenient stone road in the kingdom to Luwenling, and Mark After the meeting with Count Cimmerian, he also learned of the current situation, and had a preliminary estimate of the military strength of the Kingdom of Ramirez in his heart.

The people of Ramirez don't have many soldiers left to fight. This is beyond doubt. The explosion of soldiers five years ago has prevented the Kingdom of Ramirez from recovering its manpower. Even this time the war is exhausted. The last strength of the country is that it is no longer able to recruit soldiers to deal with the attack of the Winsters—no, it is a bit absolute to say this. After Croft regains the territory of Abadland, this territory can bring him Some conscripts were in emergency. If Croft gritted his teeth and stepped up the conscripting efforts, it was still possible to pull up a large group of troops, but the loyalty of Abadran's conscripts was yet to be verified.

Therefore, our new Earl Tooragris is very confident about whether he can conquer the Kingdom of Ramirez in one fell swoop. After all, he has more than 4,000 elite Second Legion soldiers in his hands.

On the other side, King Croft and his nobles who had retreated to Abadran also learned of the arrival of Winster reinforcements. The usurper still couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He had a premonition that this group of reinforcements was definitely not the ones he had fought outside Luwen City before. The combat effectiveness of that group of soldiers was not as good as that of his soldiers Not much, not even fit to carry the shoes of the Ravana army that had defeated his father five years ago on the Plains of Leuven. If the new batch of reinforcements were at the same level as five years ago, this battle would basically be unnecessary. Given the kingdom's current shortage of major generals, it would be impossible to resist.

Looking around, the combatable soldiers in Abadran City are only in the early one thousand, and the knights and cavalry units among them are only close to two hundred. It is no exaggeration to say that the army under his command Here, the most effective ones are only the king's personal guards of about a hundred people, some noble private soldiers, and the ninety-one knights and one hundred and three cavalry.

Just as King Croft and his nobles were arguing whether to withdraw to the city of Aquique, a new military situation was placed in front of them: the number of this new batch of enemy troops was about 4,000,

And there are many elite heavy cavalry and light cavalry mixed in the army.

When this military situation was placed in front of them, everyone closed their mouths, stared at each other, and remained silent for a long time before someone finally choked out a sentence, breaking the strange calm: "So, we are Shouldn't we retreat immediately?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene fell into silence again. After a long while, King Croft opened his mouth, barely uttering a word: "...retreat."

"I obey, my king." Everyone responded in unison, and there was a sense of relief in their words, which could be clearly heard by others.

Immediately afterwards, the order to withdraw troops quickly spread throughout the barracks, and the soldiers also learned from various channels that the enemy army several times their size was approaching Abadran, and they also began to get nervous, using the fastest time to send their personal Pack up your belongings, then flee the city in a haste and flick.

Croft obviously didn't deliberately block the news. During the army's evacuation, the residents of the city also more or less learned of the existence of Toolagris and his army, so they all nervously packed up their belongings at home. Finances, wanting to escape the city before the enemy army came to the city - no wonder they want to flee, no one knows what the Winsters will do to Abadran, a city that has betrayed them .

The next day, when even the poor were hesitant to run away, Toolagris and his second army approached the city, looking at the city flying the flag of the Kingdom of Ramirez. There was a look of disgust in his eyes. Five years ago, when he followed Richard's counterattack, the city fell against the wind and abandoned the old owner to become Richard's dog. Five years later, when a new war broke out, the city once again As a traitor, he had no doubt that surrender was the city's "honorable tradition."

He swore that if the city dared to resist his army, after the city was broken, he would not show mercy, and would generously let his soldiers plunder the city for several days.

However, the city did not let him down. Facing the black masses of Winsters, Abadran cowardly chose to surrender again. The cowardly citizens opened the closed city gates and let the kingdom they once loyal The army entered the city without a garrison.

Toolagris recovered the city without bloodshed. Most of the rich people in the city fled to the capital Aquique with King Croft's army. It's just the rich who left the industry.

Oh, it's worth mentioning that when the Legion took over the Santo's Mansion, they found the former lord Pabala and his eldest son Alik imprisoned in the dirty dungeon. Thin, with protruding cheekbones, and listless, he didn't react immediately when he saw the soldiers of the Second Legion breaking into the dungeon, thinking that King Croft was finally about to order them to be executed.

When the soldiers reported their findings to Toolagris, the latter just let out a faint oh before waving his hands, as if trying to drive away flies, with disgust in his tone, and said: "Take them anywhere. Buried alive in one place, this kind of waste is of no use to us, it can only waste our army’s food.”

"Obey." The soldier who reported promised, and then dragged the hungry father and son out of the dungeon with a few people, dug a hole in the garden of the city lord's mansion, and buried them alive.
