#1087 war
If it was based on the original situation, it would take at least four or five days to march from Taris to the Principal of Sila day and night. But now it is different. A highway network has been laid in the empire, and at the same time, Tang En also equipped them with a large number of transportation vehicles. Although they could not send everyone there in one go, they could transport at least 3,000 people and supporting food and grass in the early stage, and it only took one day to reach the destination.
After delivering a group of people, the transport truck can also return to continue picking up people. In this way, it only takes three days to deliver all the people to the place, saving at least half of the time!
Just as the soldiers of Tarius began to set off, the Duchy of Sila had already begun to resist fiercely...
Lakeside Town is located to the west of the Principal of Sila. There are about 50,000 permanent residents here, and it is also a considerable town in the Principal of Sila.
But now, this town, which was originally a beautiful and pleasant climate, is submerged in the war.
The hot flames ignited the entire town, thick black smoke covered the sky, heart-wrenching screams resounded on the streets and alleys, and the heavy sound of horse hooves proclaimed the approaching of death. The hideous expression of the Grace cavalry was like the smile of death, and the hot blood spilled the town and dyed the lake red.
The townspeople were dominated by fear and fled desperately to the outside of the town. How could their feet run past the war horse?
"Escape, run, hahahahahahahaha"
A Gris cavalry caught up with the fleeing townsmen. With a knife, the townsmen's back was torn a deep bone-visible wound. The horse's hooves were raised high, and under the man's hoarse gaze, it fell heavily on his chest!
It was as if it was hit hard by an iron hammer, and the sternum was broken, and the bones were inserted into the internal organs, and blood gushed out!
"Why don't you struggle a little longer? It's so boring..."
The Gris cavalry cut off the man's head and then began to search for the next prey.
Suddenly, he saw a girl in her teenage years old, his eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed forward and grabbed the girl.
Another cavalry rushed over and said, "Rowell, you bastard! Let her go! I discovered it first!"
Rowell scolded: "Come first and then come! Whoever grabs it first will be whoever is! If you want to search for prey for His Majesty Stanley, go and find it yourself!"
After Rowell finished speaking, he looked at the little girl he was holding, and laughed out loud: "Not bad! It's really good! Maybe there's hope for an increase in the position this time!"
It is an open secret that His Majesty Stanley likes little girls between the ages of ten and sixteen. There was a soldier who had captured a cute little girl, Harriet, and gave it to His Majesty Stanley. As a result, Stanley happened to win Stanley's favor. After Stanley killed the previous little queen, he immediately made Harriet the new queen. At the same time, the soldier also received the commendation and directly won the baron. At the same time, he was promoted to a centurion and commanded a team of 100 people.
The treatment of that soldier stimulated others. Since then, in order to please the king, all the people of the Kingdom of Gris have begun to work hard to collect beautiful and cute little girls for Stanley. Some parents even took the initiative to give their little girls to Stanley. Even parents are like this, let alone these soldiers?
Seeing that her daughter was kidnapped, her parents suddenly panicked. Her love for her daughter defeated her fear of the Grace cavalry. They rushed to the war horse, hugged the cavalry's legs tightly, and begged: "Please! Food! Coins! Take all of them! Please let her go! She is just a child!"
"You untouchables dare to touch me! Go and die!"
Rowell sneered and cut off the couple's heads, completely ignoring the blood sprayed on his body. He looked at the crying little girl and laughed, "What I want is a child."
Perhaps because of the noise of crying, Rowell cut the little girl's head with one palm, knocked her out and placed it behind the war horse.
"You guy don't know how to be gentle!"
Another cavalry sneered: "She is a gift to His Majesty Stanley, and she may be our little queen in the future. If she blows the wind beside His Majesty in the future, your head may be divided."
“We never knew what tenderness was.”
Rowell raised his cavalry sword, cut off the head of the militia that was rushing over, and shouted with a wild smile: "We are noble and powerful Gris! If you like it, go and rob, and go to go and learn what Irrus people! This world belongs to Gris people! His Majesty Stanley!"
The Gris cavalrymen not far away were all infected and roared loudly: "Ao! Long live Gris! Kill all these untouchables! Take everything from them!"
Faced with the fierce offensive of the Gris soldiers, the defense line supported by the Principal of Sila, which had only less than 5,000 soldiers, kept retreating and then retreating. After sending all the soldiers, they even had to start forcibly recruiting soldiers, summoning the farmers and sending them to the battlefield. It was not that Palmerceciel, the king of the Principal of Sila, was too cruel, but because they had no choice.
He found that this year was different from previous years, the offensive of the Kingdom of Grace was particularly fierce, and it did not seem like it was just a snatch and it was a sign of a full invasion and direct destruction of the Principality of Sila.
Therefore, in addition to forcibly summoning militias to join the war, Palmer, the king of the Principal of Sira, sent an urgent letter to the Irrus Empire. Since he had always been inclined to surrender to Sorant, the Principal of Sira had never established formal diplomatic relations with the Irrus Empire for more than a hundred years, so naturally there was no question of leaving an emergency contact information (magic letter).
King Palmer sent an expedited letter with great anticipation, allowing one of the only Warcraft Knights in China to ride a flying monster to Yalinx to deliver the letter. However, in the days when he was on the road, the war began to spread rapidly from Lakeside Town. Qingxi Town, Rose Flower Town, Gravel City and other towns were quickly declared destroyed within three days. Ten thousand Gris warriors extended the front line, forming a siege, and quickly approached the capital of Sila, the Duchy of Sila.
When Aurelia received a letter of help and arranged for Nitro to send troops to support the Principality of Sila, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gris had already surrounded Sila. The general Henry Cecil, who led the army, was standing outside Sila's gate to challenge the battle.
"Your Majesty! You can't hold on anymore!"
In the castle of Sira, the ministers looked pale and obviously were not in good condition.
"These days, the residents in the city are panic. Some people have begun to instigate to open the city gate and surrender to the Kingdom of Grace! If this continues, we will not be able to escape and die!"
King Palmer cursed with gritted teeth and said, "Those idiots! We are robbed by Gris every year. After so many years, don't you know what the outcome of surrendering to Gris Kingdom will be? I have already sent an urgent request for help. Now our only way to survive is to wait for the support of the Irrus Empire!"
"But your Majesty, the Irrus Empire has just recovered Sorant, and the army is now being reorganized. Even if they decide to send troops to support it, it will take ten days to send troops from the nearest garrison! Ten days are enough for the Grace cavalry to level Sila!"
King Palmer cursed: "Shut up! You idiots! Even if we die, we must not bow to Grace! Do you still know the consequences of opening the city gate??"
King Palmer's eyes were dark and his face was haggard. He was in a very bad mood these days. Many cities in Xilah were declared to have been broken, and more than half of the five thousand troops were killed or injured and defeated one after another. The number of enemies captured was even less than a thousand, which shows how far the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides is.
In such an extremely harsh situation, it is too difficult to ask for a glimmer of hope. The soldiers of the Kingdom of Grace would not give him that opportunity!
Now the city of Sira is overcrowded and its homes are destroyed. A large number of refugees fled from the war in carriages and hid in Sira City. Standing on the windowsill of the castle, you can see the dark and dense refugees in the city crowded on the streets. Now the number of people in Sira City has far exceeded the load limit of the city.
To put it bluntly, even if the soldiers of the Kingdom of Gris could not break through the city, they just stood there, and for less than a month, the city of Sira would be destroyed without conquering the attack and destroyed directly from the inside.
Reinforcements!
Where are the reinforcements?
...
Henry always felt that he was a very kind person. After the soldiers he led would never leave any trouble to his original owner after snatching things, and would burn them cleanly and nothing would be left behind.
Therefore, the location of the villages and towns on the border of the Principal of Sila will change every year, and those people may also understand his kindness, so the houses built are mainly wood, which is very easy to burn.
Well, it's great to consider each other like this.
He felt very pleased, so although this year's routine activities were radical, he ordered the soldiers to ban the abuse of prisoners and wounded. Although His Majesty Stanley's plan required a lot of labor, the people in the Principality of Sila were too weak and he looked down on them at all. It was not as good as the kowtows, so they cut all the wounded and prisoners to death with one knife.
Look, I didn't abuse them and torture them. I'm so kind, right?
Henry gently stroked his sword and looked at Shirat City not far away with regret.
What a pity, they don’t even know how to cherish the opportunities given by me, such a kind general.
