Chapter 110 The Battle of Eagle City (1)

After a night of rest, his men had already eaten and drank enough, ready to go. The sun gradually changed from orange to bright gold, the fog began to dissipate, and the earth-brown city wall also showed its true form. In the eyes of the new king, it was not a real city wall at all. At best, it was just a earth slope. From the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope, there was a slope with no siege ladder, and you could climb up with your hands and feet. A circle of log fences that were more than one person were inserted diagonally on the top of the slope, which could block refugees and robbers, but could not stop fully armed soldiers.

The people on the city wall stood sparsely, obviously not as if they were preparing to defend the city.

"Your Majesty, the cavalry responsible for keeping a track of the south gate said that they had observed the actions of the large group of people." The Rinfeng Knight ran back to the new king and reported.

Tifeco handed the lookglass to Duke Fran, and said in a relaxed tone: "It looks like she wants to run away."

The latter looked carefully for a while and nodded, "It is a decisive choice to make up his mind so quickly. Eagle City is not suitable for defending the city. She puts her men and horses in the city and will only be beaten by us." The Duke laughed at this point, "As you expected in the combat meeting last night, she did not expect us to come so quickly."

"We arrived at the right time," said Tifeco. "Even if she wanted to escape, she couldn't move at night."

"You are right. Marine at night is a taboo. If she really does that, we will defeat the team without taking the initiative. Once the troops are separated at night, there is almost no possibility of gathering. In this way, even if she escapes back to Bishui Port, there is only one way to die."

"So my dear sister must wait until dawn before commanding the army to retreat." Tifeco looked at the Eagle City, which was within reach, and thought that everything she did was not more than she expected. Garcia was too greedy for the symbolic status of Eagle City, and stationed her troops here - occupying the mansions guarded by the southern border for all dynasties is indeed easier to conquer the hearts of the southern nobles, but the benefits are also accompanied by crisis. He specially sent a feint army to go slowly on the road, leading the cavalry to the east border first, without infantry, and all the dry food consumed was transported by horse and carriages. After arriving in the East border, the duke would supplement the remaining troops and circling from the other side of the kingdom to Eagle City. The cavalry blocked the road first, reducing the possibility of spies sending messages.

It is impossible for the army to go as soon as possible. Jiasia had received news about Mo Ling Liangke two or three days ago. He began to retreat at dawn today, which was a hasty move. It takes a day to walk from Eagle City to Qingquan Town. Both legs could not run four legs no matter what. As long as he gathered a thousand knights to catch up with her team and chased her, her ridiculous coalition would naturally collapse.

Unfortunately, Crasia still may escape from her hands. If she leaves three thousand people, she will leave with her own riding and returns to Bishui Port alive.

He finally had to go to her lair to finally end the farce, he thought.

"Your Majesty, then follow the plan you have set before." Duke Fran said, "Are you waiting for me to attack the city, go through the city and chase the south gate, or go by? If you go by, go by one more road."

"It's better for me to go around from the southwest," Tifeco thought for a while. "The knight is inconvenient to move in the narrow streets, and Cácia may also block the streets with debris and hinder the passage of the troops. Even if you go around for an hour at night, it will not hinder the subsequent pursuit."

"Then I'm leaving, Your Majesty."

"Be careful," Tifeko reminded, "Carcia would not leave any troops in the city, and there are probably many traps. Also, beware of narrow streets and numerous private houses. Just ambush a group of dead soldiers, which can threaten your safety."

"Hahaha," Duke Fran smiled heartily, "Please rest assured, your Majesty, when I followed your father to fight, I cut off hundreds of heads, and I have never been injured." He waved his hand to the guards beside him, "Roll, attack!"

The army behind them surged, and several streams of people walked out of the formation, and led by several knights, they walked towards Eagle City - the free people as pioneers, followed by mercenaries in armor, and the main force of this siege. The knights brought by the duke had all been concentrated under his command.
