Chapter 10 10 The Battle of Mayne

On the other side, Vagron was already slashing outside the Castle of Mayne. The troops that came bypassed the main force of Maine and killed the city of Maine as if they were in a no-man's land.

"We must take Maine as soon as possible. On the frontal battlefield, our troops don't know if we can hold it... So we must win quickly here!" Refers to the city wall of Maine, where there are not many defensive soldiers.

"We brought 300 cavalry and only 100 infantry, so we can only rely on artillery to siege the city." Coria, Valgeron's adjutant, said worriedly: "I don't know what we brought. Artillery, how strong is the damage to the city wall?"

"Order the soldiers to cook rice! The artillery is ready to attack! After resting for an hour, start the attack immediately!" Taking the reins, he withdrew to his cavalry formation without looking back.

"Send someone to persuade them to surrender! If they are willing to hand over the Castle of Maine, give them a chance to live!" After returning to the array, Vagron added another order.

Coria randomly ordered two soldiers to go down to the city of Maine with the Serris flag to persuade them to surrender.

The two soldiers trembling with fear came to the gate of the castle, holding the king flag and shouting loudly to the Mayne soldiers on the city wall: "The soldiers of Mayne listen! You have no way out. Put down your weapons and surrender!"

"Hahaha!" Above the high city wall, Mayne's guards pointed their fingers at the Serris cavalry under the city with their weapons, and the sound of ridicule was even the city's Can hear clearly.

"Soldiers of Mayne! You have no choice! Put down your weapons and surrender! This is your last chance!" Hearing the sound of laughter, the two cavalrymen felt flushed, and they had to Once again summoned up the courage, shouted loudly to the city wall.

"sou!" A feathered arrow hit the Serris cavalry's hoof, and the soldiers on the city wall gave their warning: "Go back! One more shout and we'll fire the arrow! "

a wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him , the two Serris cavalry looked at each other and immediately turned their horses and ran away. Behind them, the laughter of Maine's defenders became more unscrupulous.

Wagron sneered after hearing the report of his subordinates, and continued to watch the artillerymen laying out their artillery positions one kilometer away.

These 90mm caliber cannons are not advanced weapons and equipment themselves, but in this world, they can definitely be called Great Killing Artifacts.

Combined with a fuze-triggered grenade, it has a very strong lethality against general defense targets.

"Wait a minute, those idiots won't be able to laugh." Beside Vagron, his adjutant Coria looked in the direction of the city wall, curl one's lip to vent his hatred.

"Two ammunition bases, grenades... After that, send someone to persuade them to surrender!" Vagron coldly said: "Let the shells talk, it's better than we talk."

p>

"Haha, you're right." Adjutant Kolya grinned when he heard Vagron's words: "What did the Sir City Lord say? Cannon range...range... "

"Alanhill is the truth within the range of the artillery!" Vagron pulled the reins: "Get the soldiers ready! Attack in ten minutes!"

"Yes!" That's right! Within the range of the cannon! Alanhill is the truth!" Coria nodded, riding up to Vagron: "Ready to fight! Prepare to fight!"

"bang!" The 90mm caliber field gun roared, and a shell hit the building behind the city wall, and the explosion knocked off half of the tower.

The second shell directly tore the flagpole of Maine City, knocked the Maine flag off the top, and blew a corner of an arrow tower behind the flag.

The laughter stopped abruptly—all Mayne's soldiers watched in horror at the explosion on the building in the distance, not knowing what to say for a while.

In Myths and Legends, this world has dragons - Magic Empire's Dragon Knight can easily cross the city wall and destroy the castle with powerful force.

At this moment, there is no giant dragon in front of me, but the thick city wall trembles in the sound of the explosion. God knows what spell the other party made to make this incredible thing happen.

"The other party has magician!" A soldier screamed hysterically. Not far from him, the black smoke from the explosion was dispersing, and the stumps and arms around him reminded him that just now Exactly how terrifying the explosion is.

"Quick! Quick! Hang the white flag!" The officer in charge of defending the city was so frightened that he stuttered, pointing to the crenel in the distance, and loudly ordered: "Look for the white bed sheet! Quick! We surrender!"

It is not a wise choice to disobey the magician, because those powerful magicians are more proud and noble than kings. If they were really angry, it would be easier to burn a few mortals with magic.

Now, for the people of Main City, surrendering as soon as possible is the best choice to save their lives. Although they didn't know how Serris would invite magician, the explosion in front of them really made people have no courage to resist.

"bang!" The second round shelling started just as the crying father and mother in Maine were looking for the white sheets. The cannonballs fell like raindrops, and several flame flowers bloomed near the city wall in an instant.

The crenel was blown to pieces by the cannonball, and the soldiers were blown into the sky by the cannonball, and fell to the bottom of the city wall.

In the thick black smoke, the city gate of Main Castle slowly opened. On the city wall was a white flag made of four sheets, twisting and swinging with the wind.

"I thought how tough they were..." Adjutant Coria, who was waiting outside the range of the bow and arrow, ready to attack at any time, scolded with contempt while pulling the reins.

"Pop! You bastard! Surrender early and I can save some shells." Vagron stretched out his right hand and waved forward in the void, and the cavalry behind him urged the horses forward and poured in.

Main Castle.

The Serris infantry, who didn't even have armor, pressed the long sword on his waist, pushed away the embarrassed Mayne defender, and walked up the stone steps of the city wall.

The Serris black flag, which had been prepared for a long time, was spread out and spread on the outer wall of Main Castle.

Vagron stood on the city wall, watching the hundreds of Mayne defenders gathered together, but there was no joy of victory on his face.

"You lead 100 cavalry, and immediately return to Serris along the road!" He was worried that there was a problem with the frontal battlefield commanded by Chris, so he immediately ordered Adjutant Coria to divide his troops to rescue after capturing the Castle of Maine.

He knew that Chris only had less than 500 soldiers in his hands, but he was facing the main force of Maine - if there was a mistake in the frontal battlefield, his victory in capturing Maine Castle would be greatly reduced. .

Unfortunately, the situation changed again when Koriya gathered 100 cavalry and prepared to return to the frontal battlefield.

"General! Another army has come from outside the city! There are thousands!" An infantryman rushed to the city wall nervously and reported the latest situation to Vagron.

"What? Where did the army come from?" After hearing this report, Vagron was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately led people to the other direction of the castle.

Then, lying on the crenel of the city wall, he saw one square formation after another, slowly unfolding up ahead of Main Castle.

"Blue's wave flag... Ferry City!" Looking at the flag of the other side, Vagron frowned: "Order everyone to prepare for battle! Let the artillery immediately find a suitable location in the castle to deploy Stand up! Prepare to fire back!"

"Raise Serris' black iron flag! Tell those bastards in Ferry City that this is our city! Don't blame us if they dare to mess around! You're welcome!" Waggon said in a low, muffled voice with his long sword drawn from his waist.

Below the city wall, City Lord Berman who led the Ferry City soldiers to the Ferry City in Maine was also in a state of confusion at this time.

He had previously rejected Mayne's plan to attack Serris together, in order to get the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind, sneak attack Mayne sit back and become the fisherman who sweeps the benefits .

Whether the Maine City Lord Ensel succeeds in attacking Serris or not, the victorious side will be exhausted: if Maine wins, he will suffer heavy losses, and it is impossible to return to save Maine Castle; Serris is also incapable of winning. Enter, and compete with the intact ferry city for the fruits of victory.

As a result, he had a lot of calculations, but absolutely did not expect that the city of Maine would fall into the hands of the Serris City Alanhill family in just a few days.

If this Lord Berman knew the truth of the matter: the city of Maine did not hold on for two hours, and then surrendered to Vagron, and it was estimated that he would die of anger in the city of Maine.

Watching the soldiers on the city wall unfold a huge black iron flag and hang it on the city wall, Berman City Lord pressed the sword on his waist and couldn't help himself to storm the Castle of Maine. impulse.

Unfortunately, he was worried that the preparations he had made were too obvious to be discovered by Mayne, so he only gathered his troops and drove in all the way, and he was not ready to attack the city. It's not really a spur of the moment thing.

There are no long ladders or catapults. As long as there are 300 guards in front of the tall city wall, it is not a fortification that can be easily broken. Rather than wasting precious soldiers here, it would be more appropriate to keep these soldiers for defensive battles.

Thinking of this, he gnashing teeth twice wanted to pull out his sword to order a strong attack, and twice resisted his urge again. A self-proclaimed scheming man, in the bones isn't that impulsive type. He has always planned to move later, this time sneak attack Mayne is like that.

"Retreat!" Finally, feeling that he didn't need to waste the elite troops on the city wall, he gave the order to retreat: "Swept away all the civilians and food along the way! Go back to the ferry!"

Watching City Lord Berman of Ferry City leading the troops to retreat under the city, Vagron stood behind the crenel with a long sword. He didn't know yet that these Ferry City soldiers who left, looted and destroyed them all the way. half a main.
