Rise of the Empire Total War

Chapter 70: Manan falls

   "We have won! The enemy has retreated!"

   When the dusk gradually fell, the noble rebels that launched the attack on the city retreated like a tide, leaving the corpses all over the ground and the wounded still wailing.

   This is almost a rule. Since the noble rebels surrounded the Kingdom Legion, the same thing has been repeated every day: offensive, offensive, re-offensive, retreat, retreat, and retreat.

This made the commander of the Kingdom Army Wood Keith a lot of doubts. The commander of the noble rebels outside the city seemed to want to take the city and destroy them regardless of the casualties, even the tragic casualties that fell in the past few days. They dispel this idea.

   Standing on the wall that was almost stained red with blood, General Wood quietly observed the enemy's station outside the city. The old and famous man was full of mature and stable aura, and the same was true in strategic deployment and tactics. He would not make a judgment easily before he knew the enemy's reality.

   And it is his stability that allows King Anders to appoint him as commander-in-chief with confidence-when the strength is lower than that of the noble rebels, a stable general is what the kingdom needs most.

   "Let the soldiers rest well, we can guard this wall until we die!" Wood said.

   However, in fact, under the wall of Manan, the noble rebels of the siege have dug a tunnel day and night. In order to prevent the tunnel from collapsing, the rebels brought in wooden planks as a support and reinforcement.

This is the idea that Ingiard, the leader of the noble rebels, came up with. In order to successfully conquer the city in front of him, he sent people to inspect the quality of the local land as early as the first day of the siege, and finally got good news. —The ground is soft and suitable for tunnel excavation.

   After several days of fighting day and night, this tunnel was finally dug into the wall of Manan. It only needed Ingiard's order to break through the ground and break into the city along the tunnel, giving the defenders a big surprise.

  ...

   into the night.

At night, Manan City was silent and dark. Except for the light emitted by the torches set up every few meters on the city wall, there was no other light source. The neat stepping sound of the soldiers on patrol was between the iron plates with armor. The friction sound was infinitely amplified in this silent night.

  铿铿锵锵—

A team of patrol soldiers walked neatly under the city wall with spears and shields. After they walked far, the soft ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a black hole. Then, a head appeared, confirming that this was the city wall of Manan City. Later, the owner of the head quickly got up from the hole, and a small group of soldiers armed with weapons soon followed behind him.

"Kill the patrols and sentries without attracting the attention of others, control the walls, and respond to the soldiers from outside the city!" said the leader, and the soldiers who came out behind him whispered their promises, and then separated into action. .

   This is the first squad of the noble rebels, and their task is to lead the story in the population.

   Through the dark night, a massacre against the Kingdom Army is about to begin...

  ...

   "Enemy attack!!"

The moment he heard the warning of the enemy attack, General Wood suddenly got up from the bed. Before he could think about what was happening outside, he quickly took the saber placed on the table, opened the door of the room, and walked out. Stepping out a few steps, a **** soldier stumbled towards him, fell to his knees, panting heavily, and said, "Master General, the rebels don’t know what method they used to invade the city. A large number of people raided our barracks, and a group of people came towards us!"

"what?"

Wood’s most worried thing finally appeared. He didn’t have time to be surprised. He passed the kneeling soldiers, ran out of the city lord’s mansion and stood on the steps of the city’s lord’s mansion. Looking around, the whole city fell into chaos. , The streets of the city that should have been dark are full of sparks-it is the light emitted by the torch held by people, and these sparks are gradually converging towards the city lord's mansion in the center of the city!

   And in the military camp near the city wall, the flames are already blazing into the sky. With the light from the fire, UU reads www.uukanshu. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Com are fighting against the noble rebel soldiers who launched the night attack. The soldiers of the Kingdom Army who were caught off guard by the night attack reacted quickly after the initial chaos, looking for weapons that could be used around them to fight back against the enemy, but lacking weapons and protection, they could only be crushed and beaten by the inferior number of enemies.

   "General Wood, the guards have been assembled!"

   Just then, a rough voice sounded, and Wood looked at it. It was the captain of the guard assigned to him by King Anders, and behind the captain was a fully armed elite guard.

   "Go to the barracks, I want to save the army of the kingdom!" Wood yelled, and immediately mounted on a war horse with the assistance of the soldiers, and drew his sword to the barracks, regardless of wearing civilian clothes.

   But he still failed to get what he wanted, because when he was about to drive the horse to run, a large number of noble rebels had already killed along the street, and Wood could only lead the guard to charge the enemy.

   "Kill! For King Anders!"

  ...

   When Richard rushed to Manan City, the familiar red roaring war bear flag was flying on the walls of this city. On the gate that was opened, there was a deadly horrible head hung. After seeing all this, Richard couldn't help but feel annoyed. He knew that he was too late, Ma Nancheng had fallen, and the Kingdom Army was too late. Annihilated here, the hanging head must be the commander of the Kingdom Army.

   He was so upset, but it didn't help, so he had to leave the place with his corporal and walk in the direction of Aosta on the map.

  Since the army is destroyed here, the royal family must be the weakest time at this time. Richard should be able to help when he goes to Aosta. Since he has not been able to catch up with the battle of Manan City, he must not miss the battle of Aosta.
