    Section 7 Attack on Milis City

    Boom!

    Boom!

    ¡­¡­

    The bronze cannon built on a three-meter-high curved mound was assumed to be 500 meters away from the inner city wall, and launched an attack on the weak wall in the southern part of the inner city of Milis.

    "Someone come quickly!"

    ¡°They launched an artillery attack from the south.¡±

    "Tell the general quickly."

    "The ballista units are aiming towards the south, we are counterattacking!"

    ¡­¡­

    ? One by one, rubble and bricks fell from the southern city wall of Milis inner city, and the buildings around the entire city wall trembled.  The officers stationed here shouted in surprise.

    Whoosh!

    Whoosh!

    Boom!

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

    ¡­¡­

    While the naval artillery was loading the third cannonball, five spears and stone bullets were released from the southern city wall, hitting the house in front of the bronze cannon.

    "Do not be afraid!"

    Heitel raised his hands loudly and said: "Our giant cannon has a range of one or two kilometers, and their catapults have an effective range of only 500 to 800 meters. It is difficult for them to hit us. Now the cannon changes its direction and aims at the middle watchtower.  , give them a shot quietly."

    "yes!"

    Although he never doubted Haiter's judgment, Lin Fenghan still mobilized dozens of surrounding soldiers to defend near the cannon with shields, while he himself retreated more than 300 meters.

    Boom!

    Boom!

    Boom!

    ¡­¡­

    ? Continuous sounds continued to sound from the southern city wall, followed closely by the northern city wall.  Eastern area.  Rana.  Ma Youdun and others carried the four catapult ballistae captured from the city wall and fired stone bullets at the city gates on both sides.

    "damn it!"

    "Why is this bronze cannon so powerful? We have only fired more than ten cannons and we have already collapsed more than 20 square meters of the city wall. Our soldiers on other city walls feel a little unstable now, and the angle is a little tilted. If this continues, the foundation of the city wall will suffer.  Destroy it, wait for them to mobilize dozens of trebuchets and launch them together, and part of our entire southern wall will collapse." Miralis said anxiously looking at the place where the fire was spitting out below.

    "What should we do?"

    Young Baron Milis was afraid and said: "According to the answer of our ballista officer, our ballistae and trebuchets cannot hit each other at all. Their terrain is too short and their range is too far."

    "Report. The Elantra army has launched a general attack. They are attacking from three directions." The Guards Cavalry said loudly to Milis and others.

    "Oh? What about the western city wall?"

    Miraris asked nervously.

    "There is also an attack, but the number is very small. According to our personnel from the west, they have a small number of troops that have detoured from the north and south. They have very few ladders and ballistae. They are occupying nearby houses and cutting down wood to form a siege force.  .¡±

    "oh!"

    Miralis frowned and thought with a serious face: "Although the city wall that their cannons bombarded was very weak. We collapsed part of the city wall, but the curvature of the stone blocks and hillside of those parts of the city wall is still 40 degrees. 45 degrees, 60 degrees. As long as we  The archer troops firmly guard the city wall and shoot from a high position, so they will not have any troops that can break through the gap in our city wall while our archers still have bows and arrows. During this period, we can use the masonry reserves in the inner city,  Timber was used to repair the defenses of our walls."

    Boom!

    Boom!

    Boom!

    ¡­¡­

    The bronze cannon fired more than 40 shots continuously until part of the city wall of fifty or sixty meters was destroyed. At this time, the Elante troops stopped attacking. In front of the main entrance of the Eastern City Gate, a cavalryman walked forward holding a white flag.

    "Soldiers in front, listen, I am the messenger of Illantes. Baron Yiliuyun has something to convey to your general. Please report it quickly." Guards Cavalry Officer Philip looked at the many noble soldiers above who picked up their bows and arrows with anxiety.  shouted loudly.

    "Report!"

    "Report! Elantra sent a messenger to ask for a meeting."

    Looking at Philip's flag and listening to his voice, the frontline officers did not dare to neglect and quickly sent out cavalry to the two people who were observing the damage to the southern city wall at the southeast watchtower.

    "What?"

    "After fighting for so long, we finally sent a messenger. Let him in. Let's listen to what they have to say  "

    Miraris nodded with a big wave of his hand, and together with Baron Milis, turned around and ran towards the east main city wall tower.  At this time, the southern city wall of Milis City was already full of pits and collapsed in six or seven places. The foundation of the entire 600-700-meter southern city wall had been shaken. This made the two men, including many noble officers, deeply uneasy and panicked.

    In panic surprise, Philip was invited into the east hall of the castle room by a group of aristocratic soldiers with red eyes and awed and angry faces.

    "Who are you? Who sent you here? What is your purpose?"

    Wearing golden chain mail and silver armor, Milaris stood next to a blue-robed boy in his twenties with a majestic expression, looking at Philip and asking.  Looking at the knights and officers around him with normal eyes, Philip nodded suddenly and said calmly: "You must be the real person in charge of General Milis City! I am a cavalry member of the guard of the head of state of Yiliuyun, commander of Yilantes.  Officer, I have been ordered to come and persuade you to surrender."

    "Yi Liuyun?"

    "But that crazy baron who led troops from the Elante Islands to fight here."

    "Is it really that little baron?"

    Miraris breathed rapidly and said with a serious face: "Is he really leading the team himself? Unexpectedly!"

    Miraris breathed rapidly for a moment, then looked at Philip calmly and asked: "What does that outstanding general want to say to you?"

    Philip's face was stunned, and he looked at the officers and knights who respected and respected the surrounding officers and knights with admiration and shock. He took a proud breath and said: "The great General Yi Liuyun has led more than 40,000 troops to attack the city of Ramis.  Castles surrendered to our forces, including the nearest castle of Termoras."

    "Today we have arrived here with more than 30,000 troops. The infantry troops arrived here quickly after a rapid march. The artillery troops and logistics troops with more than 300 catapults fell behind due to the slow speed. Today itself  We had no plans to build a project. But we heard that the fleet of our Southern Navy Fleet had arrived at the nearby river. The naval guns had been transported to the city of Ramis, so we launched the attack."

    "Because the road is far away, the bronze cannon is too heavy, and transportation is particularly inconvenient. Today we quickly arrived at one cannon and 100 rounds of shells. You must have seen the power of the bronze cannon just now. I want to replace it here.  Our naval artillery tells you that our bronze cannon fired more than forty shells tightly and sixty rounds were not fired, and it has broken six gaps. The total is more than a hundred meters of city wall gap. As long as we wait  Our artillery rested for a while, and the bronze cannon fired the remaining shells. It can definitely break through a gap of three to four hundred meters, break a city wall, and create a route for our infantry."

    "The reason why I am here is to tell you on behalf of our commander that our ballistae unit will arrive at Ramis City from the hill area at around 10 o'clock tomorrow. By then, even if your inner city castle has two walls for defense,  Our troops cannot be stopped."

    "In the previous castle siege, more than ten soldiers from noble castles surrendered to our army, so the baron asks you to be self-aware, learn from the noble predecessors in other places, and surrender to us together. As long as you can surrender, Head of State Yi Liuyun  It can guarantee that you will be exempted from unimportant sins. You will be given the status of civilians of Elantes. Most of the castles in the inner city of Milis will still be used by your Milis family, but the ownership of the castles and land will belong to the General Government of Elantes.  Fifty percent of the assets in the entire city and castle reserves will be left to the Milis family."

    "What?"

    "Are you not going to hold us accountable for resisting them?"

    "Remove prisoners of war and grant civilian status?"

    "Can the castle still be used by the Milis family?"

    "Half of the property belongs to the Millis family."

    ¡°This condition is not good at all!¡±

    "But it doesn't seem bad! After all, half of the wealth is still left."

    ¡­¡­

    Many knight officers present lowered their heads to discuss. Baron Milis's eyes flashed with anger, and he whispered to General Milis who was nearby: "This Yiliu Yun has a huge appetite and will directly confiscate all our territories except the castle.  , leaving us half of the assets, such a condition is absolutely unacceptable."

    "um, yes!"

    Milaris nodded slightly and whispered in Baron Milis's ear: "Although this Baron Yiliuyun of Yilant is very good at fighting, he has offended His Majesty the King, His Royal Highness the Duke of Brant. The King has issued a national mobilization order.  , preparing to recruit the lords and armies of the country to deal with him, and the explicit conditions he gave us were veryJin, so we cannot rely on him. We must preserve our strength and wait for the next time the king and Duke Brandt lead their troops to attack here to reoccupy this land and retain our family's property.  "

    "Ah! What do you mean, uncle?"

    Baron Milis looked at General Milis suspiciously.

    Miraris smiled softly and slowly explained: "After the bombardment of the bronze cannon just now, I have given up my plan to defend the city. You have also seen the power of their bronze cannons, not to mention how many shells they have left.  We will be in trouble tomorrow morning when their conventional artillery siege force arrives. Originally, according to my inner prediction, our army could defend for at least one or two months according to the conventional siege mode, but now it seems that it can last for a week.  That¡¯s pretty good.¡±

    "They brought bronze cannons, so there is no need for us to delay for Count Ramis despite heavy losses. The city of Milis will eventually be captured anyway." Miraris looked at Baron Milis with wise eyes and said.

    "In this case, in order to ensure the strength of our family, I decided to lead our most loyal two to three thousand troops to break out tonight. As long as our army breaks through successfully, we will go to the north to join Duke Brant in the coming day.  It will be absolutely no problem to get back our family castle and territory if we achieve meritorious service in the battle. You must remember clearly the secret burial place of the family treasure I told you before. That money will be crucial when we make a comeback in the future."

    "Um!"

    Baron Milis whispered to General Milis: "Uncle, that little knight is a little impatient waiting."

    "Oh! Don't say anything for now, let me test him."

    General Milaris touched his forehead.  Turning around and looking at Phillip, he slowly said: "After careful consideration, we found that the conditions given by General Yi Liuyun were too bad. We are ready to continue our defense, because I don't think the 12,000 or 20,000 of you outside can defeat us.  This inner-city castle houses more than 10,000 people.¡±

    "snort!"

    "snort!"

    Philip proudly straightened his slender figure and said angrily: "You don't want to shed tears until you see the coffin. The reason why we have so few soldiers besieging this place is because one-third of our army is collecting food, cutting wood, and building siege equipment.  Just wait until the city wall is breached tomorrow!"

    "I will convey your words to our commander-in-chief, Yiliu Yun, unchanged. Only then, when we come to the city and capture you, will you know how tempting the conditions we have given you today are, hum!"

    ?? Phillip looked around.  He puffed up his chest and walked towards the outside of the hall.

    "Arrogant!"

    "Arrogant!"

    "Damn it!"

    "kill him!"

    ¡­¡­

    Miraris suddenly touched his head after listening to Philip's words, his eyes sparkled, he curled up his arms and sighed loudly: "We are no match for the Elantians, let him go, we will fight tomorrow  You can also get some good treatment.¡±

    "snort!"

    ¡°You¡¯re taking advantage of this guy.¡±

    "It's so crazy!"

    ¡­¡­

    Many Milis city officers and soldiers pointed at Philip¡¯s back and watched him leave with curses.

    At this time, he looked at Philip who had completely walked out of the hall and ran towards the city gate on horseback.  The sluggish Milaris suddenly cheered up and said with a sneer: "These Elantians are really arrogant and disgusting. A group of low-status soldiers are so arrogant and deserve to be surrounded."

    "Uncle. What are you going to do?"

    Baron Milis nodded in agreement.

    "We will gather our most loyal soldiers later. We still have more than 500 war horses in the inner city castle. There are more than 300 ordinary horses. Now we have a total of nearly 10,000 people in the inner city including their families and women, including more than 6,000 soldiers. We ourselves  There are more than 3,000 loyal people and vassal soldiers."

    "My plan is to wait until night when our army suddenly lights torches and sends out militia troops to attack from three directions. The external elite noble knight troops and city defense troops will defend the castle, waiting for the Elante people to be alerted to defend the castle. At this time we  Then he will lead three thousand troops to break through the city wall from the west and run directly towards the city of Ramis to the west, or turn around and head north depending on the situation."

    "ah!"

    Young Baron Milis's eyes lit up, and then he said worriedly: "Uncle, aren't you afraid of the Elantians intercepting them? I remember they have many troops to the south, and there is a troop in the southwest corner with a battering ram ready to attack our cities to the west.  ?¡±

    ¡°?Suddenly scared.  "

    "Ha ha!"

    Miraris looked at Baron Milis, who was instinctively shrinking his head, and laughed loudly: "I looked at the defenses around the Elant army earlier. There are only a few troops to the west of them, only a few more than 1,000 people. It is expected that there will be no more than 1,000 people at most.  2,000 people. You heard what the Elante messenger cavalry said when they arrived just now! Half of their troops were busy cooking, collecting food, cutting wood, and accumulating supplies. The number of armed forces actually on duty at each city gate  Not much. As long as we are prepared at night and rush out suddenly at a certain time, then they will not be able to stop us unprepared. Even if they are blocked by their troops, don¡¯t be afraid. I have already taken advantage of our troops.  We have selected more than 700 of the most loyal and powerful warriors. These people all have the qualities of knight officers. They can command the army and fight more with less. As long as these people have no problem with us, then we can follow their principles as officers.  The bottom class, through our family's secret wealth and borrowings, successfully re-armed a huge army to take back our industry."

    "Uncle is so clever!"

    "Ha ha!"

    "As you get older, you will naturally pay more attention. If you study more, you will become a great general in the future." Miraris touched his eyes and the admiring Baron Miris laughed heartily.

    "yes!"

    At around seven o'clock in the evening, the Elant army that had occupied the city of Milis had dinner with the help of the citizens of Milis town. At the same time, the infantry centurions and centurions of the Elant army continued to hire the busy citizens,  Asking them to continue making dry food for the Elante army made the small citizens whose livelihoods were interrupted by the siege very happy and worked harder.

    In the large courtyard of a stone house in the west of Milis City, Lin Fenghan and others were paying close attention to the city gate to the west of Milis, about 500 to 600 meters away.

    Vera asked with some confusion: "Baron, can you tell me that the general named Milaris will really escape from the city with his troops at night?"

    "I am 50% sure. After listening to Philip's description, I am now 70% sure that they will leave the city. The only uncertainty is the time of leaving the city." Lin Fenghan said firmly.

    "Yeah?"

    Philip stood next to Lin Fenghan and asked in surprise: "Baron, what time do you think they will go out at night?"

    "There are three most likely time periods." Lin Fenghan looked at the glowing inner city castle with a solemn expression and said calmly: "The first time period is around 12 o'clock in the morning. This time is the beginning of a new day. Many people are here at this time.  Everyone will fall asleep. The second period may be around three or four o'clock in the morning. During this time, people sleep very soundly. As long as they seize the opportunity, they can sneak out. The third period is at five or six o'clock. At this time, our soldiers  They are still sleeping soundly, and some of them are already awake, but their bodies lack strength in the early morning. As long as they work together to escape, they will definitely succeed."
