Vol 6 Chapter 124: Ebden **** battle

On the eighth day of Ebden's offensive and defensive warfare-as the elven fleet's purpose of capturing the castle was completely exposed, the battle between the offensive and defensive sides finally entered the most intense state.
After only a full night of rest, the army of 40,000 elves approached the wall of Ebden again; almost at the same time, another small-scale fleet bypassed the port and landed on a smaller beach not far away, and the army landed.
Calling it a "small fleet" is only relatively speaking-three thousand elite warriors established temporary siege camps and fortifications along the banks of the river, surrounded and launched a fierce attack on the ancient castle.
For the first time, Eboden's defending army "really" felt the pressure brought by the enemy's full-line offensive.
From the ring fortress to the ancient castle on the other side of the Jewel River, all the alarm bells on the entire Ebden line were almost the same as "drumming and passing flowers"; there were continuous lines of defense and strongholds that caught fire under the desperate attack of the elf warriors, almost all the lines were urgent.
The fragile Eboden Wall is like a leaking iron net, and the only few fortifications are filled back by the enemy's military advantage.
And once the locals have lost the advantage of more enemies and less enemies, under the one-to-one situation, Eboden's defenders against the elves can only be one-sided slaughter!
In the face of the enemy's full-line offensive, Loren can only take a small part of the Bayern knights and demon hunters as "firefighter captains", running back and forth on the city wall defense line, as far as possible to block the enemy's pace.
The terrible screams continued to return home over the port. The broken bodies fell one by one from the city walls-rubble, broken corpses, broken curtain walls and ballistas, falling with the smoke and dust rolled up by the explosion, Stacked in trenches on both the inside and outside.
At this stage of the battle, if the Eboden defending army is based on guarding his homeland to persevere, then the mercenaries are purely out of fear.
Although the number is very small, the enemy has landed on the other side of the river; if there is no response from the reinforcements, retreating is tantamount to death.
Perseverance is death, and escape is death; mercenaries snatched them a bag of gold and silver coins, looking at the enemies swarming under the wall, only crying without tears and rushing up, cursing in their hearts At first, why did you think that you were a fan of wealth, and didn't run before the elf came.
But now it's too late to say anything.
At night, the elves who failed to completely capture the city walls again chose to retreat; Ebden, who was just relieved, had not waited to enjoy a hot meal, and was ordered to return to his post immediately while taking a good sleep before the rotation. Stationed.
In the face of such an "inhuman" commander, the defenders-or mainly mercenaries-were no surprise riots.
Then they experienced the "treatment" that only elves could enjoy before.
The twelve leaders were directly blown into coke by Loren Turin's "Fire of Torino"; then he carried the "Dawn" sword and killed these defeated soldiers with one enemy to a collapse.
The mercenaries who surrendered on their knees were separated, and a dozen or so legionary soldiers were sent to the castle for defense with less blame, and the rest were hanged on the city walls, especially as a result.
As a result, no one dared to resist the order of the Duke Byrne.
Until late at night, the defender of Eboden finally knew why Duke Byrne was so "unfriendly."
Because the Azores are here again-and it is exactly the time for the original rotation, as if planned!
Why can I guess, the reason is also very simple: because before the elf fleet retreated, the "light beam" that was launched into the city wall like a "watch" was not just to watch the fireworks, but from the reaction of the wall and the ice barrier Strength to measure the exact time of the changing of the guard.
In eight days, they finally counted!
Immediately, under the cover of night, the army of forty thousand elves came to commit another crime.
Forty thousand troops, no more, no less, just enough for the enemy ’s main army to be rotated once, the strength is still twice that of the defenders, and it can just fill the entire front line of the Eboden coast!
Fighting at night is more difficult than during the day-the garrison, who had no time to rest, and had just complained about it because of a riot, had to face the fierce offensive of the elven army without even preparing fortifications.
This time, it was not only Loren who brought people to "fire", but to fight in person to suppress the momentum of the enemy's attack; in the end, thousands of women and children in Eboden were forced to serve as auxiliary soldiers and replaced three thousand patrols. The city wall only filled the gap.
The battle continued until early in the morning, and after paying the loss of 3,000 people, it finally managed to repel the elves again-but whether it was the city wall or the ancient castle on the other side of the river, it was already crumbling.
It was dawn, and the exhausted garrison ushered in addition to the sunrise, and the horn of the Azoreian elf army that sounded with the sunrise.
After the night's army was completely evacuated, the warships and boats loaded with another 40,000 troops launched another offensive on the coast of Ebden.
By the tenth day of the offensive and defensive battle, the entire Ebden was already in mourning.
The Defender of Ebdon finally understood the elves' plans, and finally understood why they were just "tasteless" feints every time, and retreated before the casualties increased.
Because there is no need to fight anymore, as long as the high-intensity uninterrupted attack continues for another two or three days, without them, the extremely tired defenders can collapse themselves!
The weak and weak Eboden defender could not cause any damage to the retreating elf army-because as long as they are out of the protection of the city walls, what is waiting for them is a slaughter!
Tormented by severe cold, disease, exhaustion and tense nerves ... not to mention fighting, they have even lost their motivation to live-the number of casualties is expanding several times compared to before.
Facing the crumbling line of defense, the always cautious Count Eckert of the Fortress of Fury, and the rest of the Liberty Council of Ebden (although almost all the family on the side of the Wizard Tower), finally agreed to Loren's plan to fight out of town.
So in the early morning of the same day, when the elven army retreat calmly, the gate of Ebden suddenly opened, and the assembled 1,000 Bain knights and the light cavalry composed of 2,000 mercenaries launched a sudden charge towards the beach.
The goal is not to kill, but to burn down the boats and rafts that transport the soldiers!
At the moment of the raid, the unprepared army of elves was torn apart, unable to organize an effective defense; the three thousand cavalry rushed to the beach immediately, using fire oil tanks and ignition agents, or even anything that could be ignited. Arson on the beach full of ships.
The enemy's response was also very rapid-in less than a quarter of an hour, the elite of the rear line was quickly rectified, and began to specifically block and surround the cavalry.
Although Loren led the retreat immediately, he continued to be caught up; the galloping horses were trapped in the beach, the heavily-armed Bayern knight was dragged by the enemy from the horse, and the panicked mercenaries died in the arrow rain ...
The plan was successful, a large number of small boats were burned, even if the elves rescued some with sea water, the damage was more than one-half; and the Bayern Knight when he started with Loren also lost one-third, Mercenaries are more than half of casualties.
In any case, I finally got a break for the defenders of Ebden; the morale-damaged elf fleet did not attack again in the following day.
Seeing the injured Duke Byrne, Eboden never dared to question his decision and judgment from parliament to civilians.
Or when it comes to this point of despair, Loren is their only hope, and you have to listen if you do n’t listen.
But Ebden was indeed on the verge of collapse—the elves only needed to hit the door once more to let this decayed gate fall.
The twelfth day-the defender who won a day ’s rest was not wasted, but he put most of his energy on the repair work; the elf fleet that broke the half of the boat, although trying to supplement it, the military looks Obviously not as powerful as before.
The only "surprise surprise" was that a very small elf army attacked the city wall near the south; despite being small and repelled, Loren ordered the news to be blocked, and the publicity was to send troops to search for supplies.
The current Eboden is completely supported by the belief of backing the World War I and defending his homeland; once he learns that the enemy has begun to land in the army, copying himself from the backpack, the morale will pour out!
On the thirteenth day, the commander of the legion of the old castle finally called for help from Loren Turin.
The legionnaires who were alone in the old castle were not only tired, but also suffered heavy casualties, but also faced three to four times the enemy-able to make the proud commander of the army open for help, enough to prove that the situation has reached a point where the old castle will fall at any time. .
But the reality is that Loren himself can't mobilize any staff now-the casualties are constantly expanding, and the wall defenses are also at stake. He has already recruited 5,000 workshop workers in the city, equipped with armor and weapon shields to fill the vacancies left by the casualties .
But these "soldiers" are only enough to fill the number of people. Apart from morale, they can't even do basic phalanx and offensive and defensive battles. With their blood and blood fighting, they are almost using their corpses to block the enemy's attack.
All Loren could do was give a final order to the castle, let them see the situation clearly, and after realizing that the enemy had signs of retreat, they immediately withdrew from the fortress.
The fall of the old castle has entered the countdown.
On the fourteenth day, the legion commander, who still had no support, could only evacuate the castle with the remaining two or three hundred men, while destroying the gates so that the enemy could not pursue them.
But as Loren had expected-after the battle had reached this point, and after a very heavy loss, the enemy probably did not want to capture this fortress.
No way, the plan can't keep up with the change; he has successively killed Chief Eugen, the Chief Deputy, and captured the Chief Deputy Officer.
Sure enough, while the troops besieging the old castle retreated, countless beams of light descended from the old castle like rain and fire.
The explosion of flames and roar is like hell!
The sparks of the explosion continued to rise above the old castle, in the thick smoke and dazzling light, the wailing of the city walls and towers continued, and the shadow of the old castle could not be seen in the diffuse smoke. Too.
On the fifteenth day of the offensive and defensive battle, the castle fell!
………………………………………
boom--------! ! ! !
A huge roar came from the direction of the port of Eboden, and even the elven flagship across the coast could clearly feel the uncontrollable vibration.
The heavy sea blocking chain is like a steel dragon, sinking to the bottom of the sea after a whine, and exploding a large wave of waves in front of the coast; the rolled water curtain hit the shore heavily, and also on the deck of the battleship, forward Several of the warships were even hit by the waves and flew back.
If not the entire elf fleet had been anchored and moored, only one-fifth of the fleet would suffer heavy losses just by collision.
At the other end, the tower on the circular fortress that was dragged by the chains collapsed with it. Half of the tower with the top was completely fragmented and turned into countless boulders and rubble from the sky. The elf army under the tower had no time to dodge, and it was in the roar The dust and rubble together turned into dust.
There is no bone.
"Fallen! It fell! It finally succeeded!"
The hearty and sunny boy sound sounded on the deck of the elven flagship, and the cheering elven prince raised the monocular in his hand and danced in front of the rudder: "Fifteen days, I finally took this nasty chain off ! "
"Congratulations, Your Highness Rodria!"
In front of the deck, headed by Anson Zade, the chief wizard of the imperial court, a group of elf warriors immediately knelt down on one knee, complimenting uniformly: "Ebdon City is already in the pocket of His Highness!"
"What's in the bag, hehe hehe ..." With a meaningful smile, the little prince exhaled slightly.
Still a long way to go.
Loren Turin ... The Duke of Byrne would not have captured himself so easily. He dared to give up the castle on the other side of the river, which showed that there were backers and reinforcements.
Exactly, as I expected ...
Would you like to wait any longer ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Maybe he can give himself more surprises?
The little prince who was just pleased with victory suddenly fell into huge hesitation.
At this moment, a cold sea breeze suddenly brushed his cheek from behind, and the cold touch seemed to be mixed with some condensed ice particles, or maybe it was just because the sea breeze was too strong and too cold. It was extremely stiff.
It's getting cold ... If you continue to drag on, it will be very bad for yourself.
Forget it, anyway, if he does n’t even have the ability to support the arrival of reinforcements, it means that he is not worthy of his own expectations ... die if you die.
Well, just revenge Eugen and his lieutenant.
Hesitantly flashed from the corner of his mouth, the little prince who had become elated again clapped and jumped on the deck without a figure:
"Target the Eboden port city wall, the whole army is dispatched-let Loren Turin pay the price for the death of Chief Eugen!"
"For the glory of the eagle king-!!!"
