Release that Witch Chapter 110: Battle of Eagle City (Part 1)

Across the misty morning fog, Timothy Wimbledon can vaguely see the flag flying over the city.

He raised telescope and tried to identify family emblem on the banner. The sailboat and crown motif on the green base undoubtedly belongs to his sister, Garcia Wimbledon. This is also the city's most flag.

The second is the white flag, the high tower on the white cloth and the poisonous snake wrapped around the tower, which is the emblem of the Balya family. Oh, he sneered at bottom of heart and took refuge in Queen of Clear Water, but still hung the banner of the high tower pattern, which was almost shameless. When I catch you, traitor, I have to feed the flag to you and swallow it, Master Balya Earl. He thought.

At the end is the red bottom high tower male lion, the same shameless Shita family. Timothy was expressionless, but he had already sentenced Erin Stark to death, just like Torman Baltic. Of course, you also have to eat the flag.

"Knight Neiman, raise the banner of Kingdom of Greycastle!" Timothy ordered.

"As you bid, Your Majesty." Knight Howling responded, then sprinted to the army behind him, "King is alive, set the flag!"

The new King turned back and saw that one flagpole was lifted, the gray flag unfolded in the wind, the black pattern looked solemn, the huge high tower and the long, dumped, crossed arms on both sides, this is the emblem of King of Greycastle . Any traitor will grant the first confession under this banner.

Received news from Garcia, he immediately took countermeasures -- to mobilize eastern region and Kingdom Capital to attack Eagle City. Although at the time his bottom of heart seemed to set off a huge wave of heaven-shaking, he remained calm on the surface, which strengthened a lot of confidence for the minister who supported him.

It took almost a month to convene the vassal and the troops. It took a week to go to eastern region, and it took another half a month to get here. Timothy finally arrived at Eagle City when the sun went down yesterday. Fortunately, Kingdom Capital is not affected by Months of Demons. The road to southern region will not be inaccessible because of snow, but the ground is frozen because of the low temperature. The carriage team carrying food is faster than those of freemen.

His team is very large, mainly including his own personal guard team, Kingdom Capital Knight group and eastern region Duke Fran. Cherritt troops. The three groups of men and women totaled as many as 6,000. Among them, there were well-trained and well-equipped Knight, as many as 1,000. According to reliable information, Garcia's troops have fewer than 3,000 troops, and most of them are Port of Clear Water's freemen. Usually, unarmed farmers and merchants are okay. impossible is the opponent of Knight.

Sir Minister of Finance Gordo has raised objections. He believes that after Months of Demons, farming will be carried out in various places. At this time, the recruitment of troops will adversely affect the harvest. Therefore, Timothy did not require vassal to dispatch serfs to fight, but to convene freemen on the territory, and they were responsible for logistics delivery. In this way, even if they fight in southern region, they will not fall into the spring.

However, Timothy Wimbledon must not allow Garcia to stay in southern region. Eagle City is not a strong city. Its predecessor was a bazaar, located just in the middle of the surrounding towns. Later, as the development of commerce gradually evolved into a city, it took less than a century. In addition, in order to promote its pro-business image, feudal lord has not built insurmountable high walls. The civilian force of 3,000 and the two Earl men are not a big army. The sooner countermeasures are taken the day before, the greater the chance of winning. If you give her the opportunity to completely integrate the entire southern region, it will be very difficult to defeat her.

After a night of rest, his men and women are full and ready to go. The sun gradually changed from orange-red to bright gold, the fog began to dissipate, and the earth-brown city walls also showed the real body -- in the eyes of new King. That was not a real city wall at all, at best it was just a dirt slope. . From the bottom of the **** to the top of the **** are all slopes, without any siege ladder, you can climb up directly with your feet on both hands. The top of the **** is obliquely inserted into a circle of one-person tall wooden fences, which can block homeless people and robbers, but cannot block armed soldiers.

The people in the city stand sparsely, obviously not as if they are ready to defend the city.

"Your Majesty, the cavalry responsible for tracking southern gate reported that they had observed the movement of the brigade." Knight Howling ran back to the new King, Lemahui reported.

Timothy handed telescope to Fran Duke, and said easily: "It looks like she wants to escape."

The latter watched carefully for a while, and nodded, "It's a decisive choice to be able to make a decision so quickly. Eagle City is not suitable for standing still. She puts people in the city and will only be beaten by us." Duke said Laughed here, "As you expected at the combat meeting last night, she didn't expect us to come so fast."

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

"You're right, marching at night is a taboo. If she did that, the team wouldn't be defeated without us taking the initiative. Once the horses and men dispersed at night, there was almost no possibility of gathering .In this way, even if she escapes back to Port of Clear Water, there is only a dead end. "

"So my dear sister must wait until dawn to command the army to retreat." Timothy looked at Eagle City at her fingertips with satisfaction, thinking that everything she did did not exceed her expectations. Garcia is too greedy for the symbolic status of Eagle City, and stationing troops here. -- occupying the mansion guarded by the historical southern region is indeed easier to conquer the hearts and minds of the southern noble, but the benefits also come with a crisis. He deliberately sent a puppet army slowly on the road. He led the cavalry to the eastern region first. Without the infantry, all the dry food was transported by carriage. After arriving at eastern region, the remaining troops will be supplemented by Duke, and detour from the other side of the kingdom to Eagle City. The cavalry will block the road first, reducing the possibility of the spy passing the message.

Army operation impossible said go, Garcia should have received ambiguous news two or three days ago, and today began to retreat at dawn, which is considered a hasty move. Retreating from Eagle City to Clear Spring Town requires a day of walking. Two legs can't run four legs anyway. As long as she gathers a thousand Knight to catch up with her team and chase after the title, her ridiculous coalition will naturally collapse.

Unfortunately, Garcia may still escape from her own hands. If she leaves 3,000 people alone, she will ride on both rides and return to Port of Clear Water alive.

After all, she has to go to her nest to finally end the farce, he thought.

"Your Majesty, then act separately according to the plan set before." Fran Duke said, "Are you waiting for me to enter the city, chase southern gate through the city, or bypass? If you bypass, you need to take a bit more Way. "

"It's better for me to get around from the southwest," Timothy thought, "Knight is inconvenient to move in narrow streets, and Garcia may also block the streets with debris and hinder the passage of troops. Even at night For an hour, it will not hinder subsequent hunting. "

"So I'm set off, Your Majesty."

"Be careful," Timothy reminded, "Garcia will probably not leave any troops in the city. There are many traps. In addition, beware of narrow streets and numerous houses. As long as a group of dead men are ambush, they can threaten To your safety. "

"Hahaha," Fran Duke laughed heartily, "Please be assured that Your Majesty, when I followed your father's battle, there were hundreds of heads that I personally cut off, and I have never been injured." He waved to personal guard beside him , "Honk, strike!"

The army behind them surged, and several people flowed out of the array. Under the leadership of several Knights, they marched forward to Eagle City. -- was the pioneer freemen, and behind them was the armored mercenary. , Is also the main force of this siege war. The Knight brought by Duke has been fully concentrated in his Majesty.

When the large troops begin to hit the city wall, Timothy leads the remaining Knight and squire to the southwest.
