In the 992nd year of the True Divine Calendar, the great city of Bielsa, the first line of defense on the border of the Charles Empire, was attacked day and night by 13,000 troops from the Louis Empire. Due to the cutoff of the logistics line, the soldiers who defended the city fought desperately regardless of their lives. Eight days later, it fell.
This news, like having wings, spread throughout the three major human empires in the God-given Continent in just a few days.
The Louis Empire is naturally rejoicing.
The Charles Empire, which had already been angered by Claude's new "Grass Ring Order", became even worse after hearing the news. The civilians no longer had the smiling faces of the past, and the nobles also canceled many of their long-standing agreements. At the ball, all the eyes of the Charles Empire were staring at the developments on the front line, and everyone's ears were set up, listening carefully to the sounds from Reykjavik.
"The Edmund Empire, which has nothing to do with itself, is sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers and tigers with a purely spectatorial mentality. However, under the undercurrent, no one knows whether the Edmund Empire can survive alone.
The voices in the three empires are destined to be unable to influence the development of the situation.
After the Louisians broke through the city of Bielsa, they only made slight adjustments before sending out troops again. The troops were directed at the small town on the second line of defense of the Charles Empire, Gaia!
It makes sense!
Everyone understands that the Lewis people, who have broken the city in one fell swoop, will definitely continue to fight with the prestige of having just broken the city. Where they will stop depends on the performance of the Charles people.
However, many military analysts have raised their doubts. If the Lewis people really wanted to expand territory for Lewis, they should attack the city of Cologne, which is adjacent to the city of Bielsa. How could they direct their troops towards the small city of Gaia? Woolen cloth?
You must know that of the five great cities built by Charles on the first border, only Bielsa and Cologne bordered Louis' empire. These two great cities were like the left and right door panels of the gate, locking Louis firmly in Charles beyond the border.
As long as these two great cities are captured, the Charles Empire will open the door to the Louis Empire. Even if it can stop the Louis people from advancing again, it will lose a large area of ??land!
And with the current ability of the Louis people to successfully attack Bielsa City, attacking Cologne City is almost guaranteed. Why would the Louis people give up such a good opportunity to expand their territory and target the attack on the small Gaijin City? What about Ya Xiaocheng?
Is there something fishy in this?
Or maybe there could be something extraordinary in the small town of Gaia?
All military analysts are puzzled.
It can be seen from here that there is definitely a certain truth in the fact that the butt determines the head, because in the eyes of the mainland nobles, there is really no explanation for things that military analysts cannot figure out even if they try hard to figure it out.
Because the generals commanding the Louis army are nobles, to be precise, they are nobles of the Darcy family, not military generals of the Louis Empire.
If he were a military general of the Louis Empire, he would definitely put the unparalleled military achievements of opening up territories and territories first.
" However, if you are a member of the aristocratic family of the Darcy family, your first priority must be interests, or to put it more informally, it is two words, gold coins!
Only by making such a choice can we conform to the consistent behavior of this ancient family with the golden fleur-de-lis as its coat of arms.
In fact, although the nobles¡¯ guess was not correct, it was not far off.
The two young nobles of the Darcy family, Gergil and Andy, the "eldest brother" and "brother" who were watching the singing and dancing in the Chinese army's tent, acted very quickly. The fool Harvey had just conquered the city of Bielsa, and as soon as he opened the city After opening the door, Gergil and Andy led a group of people to get in first.
For this kind of situation, not to mention fool Harvey, everyone in the Louis Empire is used to it. Who doesn't know that the Darcy family dominates the Louis Empire, especially these young children now, no one can find anything if something happens. The advantage is that he can run faster than anyone else.
???????????????????????????????????????¡ªThe first person to enter the city is the one who is currently serving in Louis' army, who has not been robbed of military honors and taken advantage of by these guys.
However, what made Harvey's Louis soldiers secretly relieved was that the Darcy nobles rushed into the city first and caught nothing!
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even the rats on the street are basically crying till they die!
It¡¯s right to think about it. The defensive sergeants of the Charles Empire even had to wait to pick up the arrows shot into the city by Louis¡¯ side. This shows how scarce the supplies in Bielsa¡¯s city are!
There is no food and supplies at all, even though the buildings in the city have been almost demolished, and the stones are used as thunder stones.The beams were used as rolling logs, the door panels were split into four halves and used as shields, and even small pieces of wood like window frames were used to heat hot water
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Out of the hands of General Wells, what they got from General Wells was an empty city with only the surrounding walls left!
For such a result, the fool Harvey has nothing to do, and the Darcy family's Gergill and Andy will not do it.
"I got out from under the skirt of the noble lady and ran to the Charles Empire with all kinds of hard work. Why? Isn't it just to get some military glory, and then plunder it, and get more gold coins for myself and the family!"
Now, the city of Bielsa has been captured, but there is nothing, so what can we do! ?
To the north of Bielsa City, past the small town of Gaia, is the hinterland of Charles, right? ?
The families of the border troops have all gone to the small town of Gaia, right? ?
What! ? All the gold and silver that was originally in the city of Bielsa was brought to the small city of Gaia! ?
What are you waiting for! ?
Gergil and Andy of the Dulcie family hit it off with the incompetent fool Harvey, and they join forces to Gaea!
As for whether to attack the city of Cologne again, to open the door to Charles for Louis, or to open up territory for Louis, the profit-driven young members of the Darcy family have never even thought about it!
From their point of view, what if they could capture the city of Cologne again? It is still an empty city. Who would do anything that is not beneficial? ?
Gaia Town?
"Oh, I have heard that if you can make the knight tourney the first chaotic tourney in history, how promising it can be!" ?
What do you say! ?
Let¡¯s go!
In fact, the thoughts of the Lewis people are also the thoughts of most people on the God-given continent. The small city of Gaia is just a small city on Charles's second border defense line. It is said that the entire city, including the old, young, sick and disabled, is only five With thousands of people facing the attack of 13,000 Louis troops, it would be good if they could hold out for a few days. Therefore, no one was optimistic about the defense of the small town of Gaia.
Except Ortega and Roderick!
"Defending the city, the most important thing is morale! Morale is low. Even a mighty city thousands of feet long cannot escape. Morale is like a rainbow. Not to mention that we still have Gaia City. Even a small grass and tree fence makes it impossible for the Lewis people to come and go. Come back!"
Ortega looked at Roderick, the actual military director of the small town of Gaia, and listened to his words quietly without comment.
"When you say this, to put it nicely, it means that Roderick represents the high morale of the small town of Gaia. To put it badly, it's just two words, arrogant!
But Ortega didn't say anything, because he had seen Roderick's actual efforts during the recent period. After carefully recalling Roderick's preparations to defend the city, Ortega felt, It is still possible to defend the small city of Gaia, at least for a while.
Only to hear Roderick continue: "The biggest mistake of the Lewis people is to underestimate us Charles people, especially to underestimate the special group of Charles frontier troops! The more than 3,000 people I brought with me are basically from Bielsa City The families of the frontier soldiers, even the five thousand residents of the small town of Gaia, are inextricably linked to the frontier soldiers in Bielsa"
"Now the city of Bielsa has been broken, and all the 2,500 defenders, from General Wells on down, have died in the battle! Even if some can escape, they are all missing! Now there is a cry of mourning in the family camp!"
"Hu Bu Wen, the sad soldiers will win!? Now the family members are collectively petitioning to fight for their dead relatives and Louis to the end! Even the city guards of the small town of Gaia are like this! The preparations we have made to defend the city, It was completed three days earlier than expected! Now, the morale in the city is as high as ever! Definitely, fightable!"
"Can we fight?"
Roderick¡¯s impassioned words made Ortega¡¯s eyes shine!
"Of course we can fight!"
Roderick laughed loudly, and then his face suddenly became extremely cruel, "It's better if the Louis people don't come. If they do come, I will let them know that Charles is not only a soldier of the frontier army, but also a family member of the frontier army. Same, dare to fight!"
"good!"
Ortega was so excited by Roderick¡¯s words!
It¡¯s just to defend the city, not to capture the city. How much fighting spirit is needed? How many war horses are needed! ?
The current city of Gaia is short of fighting horses, but there is no shortage of war machines and ordinary people who use the machines needed to defend the city!
No matter how strong your fighting spirit is, can you withstand the Eight Ox Crossbow Shooting! ?
Ortega didn¡¯t believe it. He and RodriAfter preparing for such a long time, he really couldn't defend Gaia City!
Furthermore, there is good news. Ortega decided to tell the current actual commander of Gaia Town first.
"Lord Roderick, I have contacted many members of the royal family. At this time of Louis' invasion, these members of the royal family have decided to gather their own strength to defend their homes!"
Roderick was stunned when he heard this, and took a closer look at the Ortega in front of him. He really didn't expect that the lord of the small town of Gaia, who usually smiled warmly, would actually cause thunder in a silent place. Such a big event was accomplished without saying a word!
"Seven days! As long as we hold the town of Gaia for seven days, all the troops organized by the royal family will be able to reach the town of Gaia! By then, we will really make sure these Lewis people never come back!"
"good!"
Roderick laughed heartily, speaking his mind so heartily!
Then he looked up to the sky and cried out in sorrow!
"Lord Wells! Let's see how my subordinates avenge you!"
Three days later, the Lewis people came!
The small town of Gaia has once again become the focus of the God-given continent!
