Harvey Crown Prince Crystal was wearing a slightly worn-out armor. He looked back to the east from the heights of Harvey Palace. An officer in charge in the city was reporting the battle situation to him. Carrister looked a little confused. It's blue and tight. He leaned forward and pressed against the fence of the palace balcony, his mouth twitching from time to time. King Harvey is not here, and Naberet is not here. Crown Prince Crestel is the backbone of the entire royal capital. When Ikal¡¯s army approaches the city, the city wall is destined to be undefendable, because the wall of Harvey¡¯s capital is more than ten miles long, and inside the city There are only about 20,000 troops. It would be a joke to hold on to the city wall with such a force. Fortunately, the Ikar army came with a strong momentum. The strength is about 50,000 to 60,000. It is impossible to launch a full-scale attack on the entire city wall. Otherwise, the city wall would have been broken. Fortunately, the city wall was taken off by Ikar's army for several hours, otherwise it would be difficult to deploy the defense in the city. "Your Highness, the heads of all the families in the city are waiting in the hall." "Tell them that the main force of Lord Naberle has returned to the army." , Everyone, please hold on, otherwise they will bear the brunt if the Ikars attack the royal capital. They are not fighting in the Harvey royal family at this moment, but fighting for their life and death." Kristel took a deep breath, Turning around and saying to the attendant officer, he was secretly sweating because of this dangerous move by Nabor¨¦. In this raid and counter-raid, Nabor¨¦ openly drained all the troops in the royal capital, but in fact, A new force with strong combat power was secretly left behind, that is, the private army of the nobles. Although the private army of the nobles of the Kingdom of Harvey is not as large as the nobles of the Kingdom of Aden, there are thousands of people in the large ones and dozens of people in the smaller ones. It is precisely because Control the number, so most of these private soldiers are well-equipped and extremely loyal to their masters. Some time ago, due to the strong raid of the Ikar Army, the defense line in the Harvey area was almost swept. In addition to lack of preparation, another important reason is that The Wei side ordered the garrison from all over the country to gather in the royal capital, because the Harvey side knew that the Ikar people had been planning for a long time, and as former subordinates, many officers of the Ikar army had served in important towns in various places in Harvey. For the defense of the Harvey army Weaknesses are well known, so the Ikar army's surprise attack easily broke through the Harvey army's defenses like a hot knife cutting through butter. Facing an opponent who is familiar with you, the only way is to reshuffle the cards. If you want to do it in a short time Adjusting and repairing the entire defense internally is tantamount to wishful thinking, so Nabor¨¦, as a defense master, put forward the suggestion that "since it is impossible to rebuild the defense line, then simply withdraw the active troops back to the royal capital area", because compared with Compared with other areas, the Ikar people have the weakest understanding of the Harvey capital area, and although the Harvey military has always used the Ikar soldiers as cannon fodder, they are not so big-hearted that the Ikar soldiers are involved. The military defense of the Harvey capital came from "The ultimate goal of the Ikar people's raid is the Harvey capital. As long as the Harvey king is not defeated, the Ikar people will only be defeated." As a defense master, Na In order to boost the low morale of the military, Burley made such a firm conclusion. However, what neither Burley nor Harvey expected was that during this large-scale military retreat, a large number of nobles from all over the country also wanted to protect themselves. Following the movement of the wind, the retreating troops poured into the capital of Harvey. It wouldn't matter if it was just one area. Instead, two-thirds of the noble families on the Harvey Plateau gathered together. Those who originally chose to stay on the Harvey Plateau. The families are basically old families with more than a hundred years of history. They own considerable manor properties and a large number of private soldiers in the region. Now these families have gathered in the capital of Harvey, and the total number of noble private soldiers has reached An astonishing more than 30,000 people, but this force, even Harvey's military was unable to mobilize. Nabori once wanted to propose at the Royal Council to organize these noble private armies into two reserve legions. This was very important to King Harvey. Du's military strength was a huge addition, but there was only a little bit of news. As soon as he went out the next day, he was attacked by a large number of nobles. Before he arrived at the Ministry of Military Affairs, he had to hide back in his mansion in despair. He promised that only When the army approaches the city, each family will be asked to mobilize private soldiers to participate in the war, which can calm the public anger. Otherwise, even the hero of the defense of the royal capital cannot afford to offend three-quarters of the nobles in Harvey. With such power, it is impossible not to use it. These noble private armies will not go to the battlefield unless they are pushed to the point of life and death! Nabor¨¦ personally led the main force of the royal capital's army to counterattack and took away 150,000 troops in one breath. The remaining troops, less than 20,000, were left in the royal capital. They were all incomplete and resting troops. Is the defense power neutral? Wrong, how could Naberle, as a defense master, not see this fatal weakness? Intelligence is just intelligence. The intelligence personnel of the Ikars naturally ignored the private army in the hands of the Harvey nobles, and did not attack the city without troops! These families don¡¯t know how to talk about their own families.The soldiers called out. Crown Prince Harvey, Crystal, felt the coolness from the metal hilt in the palm of his hand. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked back from a distance. He walked into the palace hall in front. There were many people inside, wearing various colors. When the Harvey nobles in fine clothes saw Crown Prince Crestel, they immediately gathered around. Everyone looked uncertain. No one knew whether they could hold on to the royal capital this time. As expected, with people panicking, the Harvey nobles had no way out. Select, their families and belongings are now in the royal capital. The life and death of the royal capital has been closely linked to them, and now the war has spread to their residential area. Last night, the Ikal Army mobilized 20,000 troops, A siege ladder was prepared. In order to prevent the sentries from seeing the reflection of the weapons, the sharp knives in their hands were wrapped in black cloth. Under the cover of darkness, they crept barefoot to the Shuobo neighborhood, the center of the battle. Ikar soldiers used ten siege ladders to support the houses on both sides of the street at the same time, and then the infantry rushed up the ladder unstoppably. By the time the sentry spotted them and issued a warning, the first batch of nearly a hundred Ikar soldiers had already arrived! They were extremely brave and quickly hacked to death the few sentries. There was a roar in the darkness! But at this most critical moment, it can only be said that God has not abandoned the defenders of King Harvey. A group of noble private soldiers patrolled and discovered the presence of Ikar soldiers in the Shuobo neighborhood. Everyone's faces turned pale. Without any orders, the private soldiers rushed forward and started fighting with the Ikar soldiers. One side is bound to win, but the other side is fighting to the death to protect it. The two sides are fighting inextricably. "Kill! Get what you lost" The Ikar army has a numerical advantage, but the noble private soldiers have another advantage. Many of the private soldiers are martial arts masters! Their combat power was far greater than that of ordinary soldiers, and their equipment was much better than that of the Ikar army opposite them. In the close combat conflicts in the narrow area, the Ikar army was hacked and retreated continuously. Large numbers of people and corpses fell from the heights of the houses on both sides of the street. It fell down like dumplings. With a quick glance and relying on hand-to-hand combat, the noble private army defeated the attacking soldiers of the Ikar army and finally had to retreat in embarrassment. "What's going on?" , Where did these soldiers come from?" Prince von Muerger also discovered this problem, and added the reserve team to the flesh and blood grinding mill in front, but it seemed to be lost in a deep pool, "It seems to be the noble Harvey. "Private soldiers? Are you kidding me? Are you saying that my army of tens of thousands was blocked by the Harvey people's private soldiers?" Prince von Muerger was obviously stunned when he heard the report. There was a debate on whether it was a rescue or a surprise attack on the royal capital. The Harvey Army suddenly launched a massive counterattack. The two main armies of the Ikar Army collapsed and retreated. The incident happened so suddenly that the command of the Ikar Army was unable to judge the Harvey Army for a while. Do you want to take risks, or do you want to fish in troubled waters? "The so-called fighter plane is fleeting, just like the flash of lightning in a heavy rain. Those who can grasp it are the famous generals." The shortcomings of King Ikar's absence in the army were also revealed at this moment, and the Ikar army was therefore Divided into two factions, the Ikal Army finally wavered under the huge temptation and chose to go straight in on the choice between a large army rescue or a decisive battle. The situation of the Fifth Army and the Eighth Army could no longer be reversed. The result of the forced rescue was It was a life-or-death battle with the Harvey Army. After losing the Fifth Army and the Eighth Army, the original strength advantage our side had was gone. Instead, the Harvey Army took advantage of this to fight. The morale of the army has been greatly improved, and a direct decisive battle is obviously detrimental to our army! " "Capture the capital of Harvey and complete the battle. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult for the Harvey people to go crazy next time." "Today, the number of troops in the capital of Harvey is less than 20,000. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. , if you let it go, you will be punished by God! And from a strategic point of view, it is the wisest to end this war as soon as possible, because since the war began, although our army has swept all the way and been invincible, and it only took half a month to reach the royal capital, but because it advanced too fast, it fell into It is almost impossible to effectively control the Harvey trap in the occupied area. Many of the army's logistical supplies still need to be transported from Ikar, because they plunge too deep into the trap. By the time our army realizes that it has fallen into the Harvey trap, At this time, it is no longer possible to readjust the military strength. The capital of Harvey is very close. Instead of deploying troops to stabilize the occupied area at this time, it is better to capture the capital of Harvey in one go. As long as the capital of Harvey falls, the resistance in the occupied area will be destroyed. The will will naturally give up resistance.¡± The Ikar Army finally chose to risk a battle, but the Ikar Army did not expect that the Harvey Kingdom, which clearly only had less than 20,000 troops, would actually erupt with a combat power that would make it difficult for their 50,000-strong army to break through quickly. "Is there any error in the intelligence? If there are really only 20,000 Harvey troops in the city, I, Nagulas, am willing to cut off my head! "The generals of Ikal also became more and more depressed as they fought. The army marched straight in and came to the gate of King Harvey's capital. They thought that the capital of King Harvey in front of them wasIt was a piece of fat meat that was left to be slaughtered, but I didn¡¯t expect that it was not fat meat, but a hornet¡¯s nest. It couldn¡¯t be seen from the outside, but when I poked it, all kinds of monsters and monsters came out. I started to attack from all sides, and after more than ten hours In the fierce fighting, the offensive of the Ikar army continued. They left thick layers of corpses in various neighborhoods in the city. Although the commander was still constantly dispatching troops and dispatching fresh troops, However, the soldiers were obviously tired physically and mentally, but the progress of the attack was not ideal. So far, the army had suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and they had only swept two blocks. The Harveys, both civilians and soldiers, were resisting desperately, and they would The streets turned into battlefields, and each block required a considerable price. One after another, the vigorous team was sent up alive and turned into corpses. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, and the ground was rotten and soft under the feet. Their flesh and blood were blurred, and the blood flowed and piled up into a small river. The morale of the Ikar army became lower and lower, but the military orders rang in their ears and they had to move forward, so everyone began to dawdle and slowly move forward little by little. , I just hope that the offensive will end when I can't see anyone at night, or that other troops will progress faster, and don't let it be my turn to climb the "meat grinder". The momentum of rushing to be the first and taking the lead in the initial raid is no longer there. . "The opponent's offensive has begun to weaken. Our army will win this battle." Crown Prince Crestel could already sense this. He looked solemn, glanced at the nobles in the hall, and said with great confidence.
