Therefore, on the same day that the main force of the Northland Kingdom began to move southward, the troops of the kurut Kingdom on the grassland also began to gather southward.
Thirty thousand Northland soldiers, fifty thousand grassland cavalry, and mercenary guild members attacked by water in the boat of pattini island. From the moment of the outbreak of the war, it was doomed not to be a local conflict. In King Gladwell''s plan, the war could at least be seen as a preview of the demise of the Norman empire.
"You can''t go out of the city to fight a decisive battle! The other party has advanced so far day and night. There must be something to rely on. At this time, take risks to attack the other party. If you win the other party, there may be follow-up troops. If you lose, we will lose Raleigh town." standing at the head of the city and looking at the troops holding high the imperial flag on the distant plain, Raymond, the garrison officer of Raleigh Town, pressed his long sword, Comforted his subordinates who wanted to fight.
Raleigh town is an emerging town subordinate to golgaron. With the victory of the last expedition and the wealth brought back, this small place, which was once unknown, has been vigorously developed. Now it has become the largest town around the border, with a new strong defensive fortress.
His voice seemed to have magic. After hearing his analysis, the soldiers who were ready to fight the enemy in the city pressed their mind to revenge and kill the enemy.
"Let our people have a rest as soon as possible. The other party may not attack immediately, but we should be prepared for defense. There can be no difference in the city wall!" Raymond is an experienced veteran who has been tested in the battlefield for a long time.
Some worried looked at the motionless enemies in the distance. He had to add to his men: "if the other party enters the range, use the long-range stone catapults behind the wall to repel them."
Raymond has a great view of the overall situation. He knows that the heishibao expeditionary force under the city can not last long. Their efforts to seize Raleigh town are actually the best proof that they want to enter the town to supply and avoid the subsequent field battle.
Therefore, as a front-line commander, what he has to do is not to destroy the enemy and strive for credit. What he has to do is not to let the enemy complete his campaign objectives, even if the division wins.
As long as the other side can''t attack for a long time, there will be more and more follow-up reinforcements in the kingdom of Northland. He has sent someone to inform king Gladwell. At that time, the other side will have only one choice to retreat.
Therefore, the current situation seems very difficult and complex, but in Raymond''s eyes, the simplicity actually makes him feel a little bored.
"Boom!" just when Raymond felt a little bored, the Blackstone expeditionary army in the distance showed their cards. A magic burst bomb cut through the air and landed in Raleigh town with a sharp roar.
The magic bomb crashed into a house, directly smashed the roof tiles of the house, then exploded in the house and knocked down two walls. Then the surrounding houses began to collapse with the vibration, making a low and depressed roar.
"What''s that?" he stared at a row of houses collapsing behind him. Raymond''s steady voice trembled and asked his adjutant subconsciously.
Similarly, the adjutant, who was too shocked to speak, was not in the mood to answer Raymond''s question at this time. He looked at the collapsed house with the spread of gunsmoke, and his ear was still the unforgettable explosion just now.
"Boom!" before the shock of the two people ended, the second magic burst bomb hit the wall of Raleigh town. The explosion cracked the whole wall, but the thick wall still stubbornly didn''t fall down.
But the soldiers on the city wall have turned pale with fear from two consecutive huge explosions. They are not afraid that the enemy will rush to their feet, because they have too many ways to compete and fight with the enemy attacking the city.
But now, everything in front of them has been beyond their cognition. Now they know nothing about what is happening, and the fear of ignorance is the real fear deep into the bone marrow.
"Boom!" it was like the bell of the end, and the explosion was endless. The third explosion also occurred in the urban area. Another innocent building collapsed and billowed black smoke.
Raymond had no danger of anything going wrong. He knew that he had no idea that the strategy had been completely useless. It seems that the city wall, which could hardly be broken, is simply vulnerable in the eyes of the opponent.
"Is this the legendary magic crystal cannon?" Raymond sighed, staring at the imperial flag in the distance in the rolling smoke.
"Hold your ground! Don''t retreat! We are the warriors of Northland! Death is like going home for us! Our ancestors are calling us in the spirit hall!" he suddenly shouted to all the soldiers in front of him, and the morale boosting voice floated far away in the gap of the explosion.
"Boom!" but a few seconds later, the more fierce gunfire completely suppressed the cry above Raleigh town. The heishibao expeditionary army under the city gathered almost all the magic crystal guns. The power of one volley is not that the body can compete with.
"Boom!" with another round of Volley against the city wall, the heavy city wall of Raleigh finally broke and collapsed in the sound of explosion. The crenels rolled and fell to the bottom of the city. The soldiers on the city wall and the bodies of soldiers also collapsed and were buried between smoke and rubble.
Seeing that there was a gap in his wall, Raymond knew that this defensive war was destined to become difficult. He knew that sometimes soldiers had to face the worst results calmly.
A towering catapult was torn apart by the blast wave, and countless wooden supports collapsed and cracked. The soldiers under these catapults had long been in a mess. A huge wooden crowbar hit another catapult nearby, making a creaking sound.
Under three rounds of shelling, the city of Raleigh was like the end of the world
"Sir, the other party didn''t surround us. Let''s retreat north!" Raymond''s adjutant, whose face was full of smoke and dust, took Raymond''s arm and loudly persuaded him.
There is no way. Under several rounds of shelling, the voice of everyone on the battlefield will become huge, because they have been used to the deafening environment, and their ears have long become less sensitive.
