Guan Xiaoxi stood a hundred feet away from Ephesus.
On the top of the city of Ephesus, the Marquis of Welles, also dressed in military uniform, looked at the army in silver armor that appeared in his sight.
The news that the 100,000 reinforcements rushing to the aid of Millaita had been completely wiped out had already come back. This was obviously extremely shocking news, and it immediately plunged the huge city of Ephesus into panic.
All the residents were at a loss at this moment, and then frightened. They didn’t know where such a powerful enemy came from. They only knew that this was probably the next huge crisis for the city of Ephesus. .
The Marquis of Welles was speechless for a long time after hearing the news, but his beard was trembling. In disbelief, he issued an order to close the four city gates. The defense is also unprecedentedly tight.
There are about three hundred cannons placed on the city walls. He believes that with these powerful cannons, he can keep the enemy at bay.
As for leaving the city to annihilate this enemy army, he didn't even think about it.
He has sent an urgent message to the capital of the kingdom, the city of Antioch on the Oronte River.
He believed that the great Seleucid king would send an army to destroy all these invaders!
So, what he needs is to hold on to this city!
In the distance, Guan Xiaoxi carefully checked the defenses on the city wall through the telescope. Of course he saw those dark cannons and the defenders carrying guns on the city wall.
He did not make He Sandao's mistake, but thought very calmly for a moment and let everyone set up camp here.
"The main reason is that we cannot bear the consequences of too many casualties!"
Guan Xiaoxi looked at the nine division commanders and said: "Even if we can fly up the city wall, the enemy has a gun in his hand. Although we can kill some enemies in the air, we are ultimately the enemy's target and we will not die. There will be less.”
"So we ordered all the ministries to repair in place and wait for the arrival of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Divisions. The First Army Air Force is the 1st and 2nd Division. After Yu Dingshan and Yu Dinghe arrive... we will use air strikes to attack these troops. The city's defenses are all destroyed before attacking."
"At that time, the enemy has been defeated. It is always easier to kill a drowned dog than to chew a turtle shell, at least it will not break the teeth."
……
……
The Marquis of Welles on the city wall was also looking out with a monocular at the moment. What he saw was a vast field of neat and solemn soldiers wearing silver armor——
He frowned, thinking that the most powerful spearmen in the Seleucid Kingdom also wore black armor. Whose army are these soldiers in silver armor?
Prince Arthur?
Count Arista?
None of them are right!
The enemy comes from the east. The two big figures of the kingdom are in Kantuoya Mansion and Haos City in the west. Although they have half of the kingdom's spearmen, there is no news that they have rebelled!
The great Seleucid I was in his prime. Prince Arthur and Count Alistar were his right-hand men and the most trusted people among his closest comrades-in-arms. It was impossible for them to rebel.
Where can there be such a powerful enemy in the east?
I heard that Alexander the Great launched an Eastern Campaign when he ruled this continent. It was a failed war, and Alexander the Great was buried in that mysterious land in the east...
He was suddenly startled, remembering the news that a living soldier brought back a few years ago——
What they met in the country called the Mauryan Dynasty was a powerful silver army!
His pupils shrank suddenly, he held the telescope carefully for a moment, and then ordered the bodyguard beside him: "Go and call Totti to this lord!"
After a moment, a strong man about thirty years old ran in front of the Marquis of Welles.
He handed over the telescope, "Look, do the enemies you met in the Peacock Kingdom look like this!"
Totti raised the telescope, and he saw the silvery warriors under the sun. At this moment, he became nervous as if he had seen a lion - the muscles all over his body suddenly tightened, and his heart beat rapidly. This moment suddenly accelerated, and the hand holding the telescope was trembling.
He almost forgot to breathe!
He bit his lip and put down the telescope after dozens of breaths, only to find that his legs were also shaking.
"Honored, respected Lord Marquis...the demons...they...they are the demons from the east!"
Wellis's gaze froze: "Did you read that correctly?"
"Hui, Hui, Lord Marquis... You can't be wrong! Silver armor, invulnerable silver armor! And, and the Goshawk Divine Sword Flag... Lord Marquis, we, we can't defeat it, so hurry up. Leave!"
"Bah...!"
The Marquis of Welles gave Totti a resounding slap in the face with a wave of his hand. He stared at Totti fiercely, "We have a strong city, powerful artillery, and muskets. If they are sure, they can capture this city. They have already launched an attack. Don't try to confuse the public with your lies. If you say such words again, I will definitely behead you!"
Totti lowered his head and whispered: "The villain knows."
After Totti left, the Marquis of Welles took a deep breath. He looked at the bright silver-armored army again, thinking that he would at least need to wait until the reinforcements sent by the great king. Guard Ephesus for a month!
The news returned by the scouts was that the 100,000 reinforcements were wiped out in the mountains and fields. What they encountered was an army of approximately 30,000 people... There were approximately 80,000 people on the opposite side, so the enemies encountered by the reinforcements were not this group. .
Thirty thousand people wiped out one hundred thousand light cavalry, or the light cavalry who had just been equipped with muskets... According to the scouts, the battle only lasted three quarters of an hour... Although the enemy had already ambushed, our own people were obviously at odds with the opponent. The difference in strength is huge!
How did the enemy know that Ephesus had sent reinforcements?
Since the enemy knew that Ephesus had sent 100,000 reinforcements, but only 30,000 were left to ambush, this fully demonstrated the enemy's absolute confidence in that battle.
So is this the enemy's main force on the opposite side?
If so, are they waiting for the 30,000 people behind to arrive?
After they join together, there will be an army of more than 100,000 people... Don't be afraid, there is a strong city to defend. They obviously come from the Peacock Kingdom. They have no siege equipment, as long as they dare to step into the cannon Within range...
Marquis Welles's eyes slowly narrowed, and he must make sure there is no way for them to come back!
The sun was a bit hot, and beads of sweat appeared on Marquis Welles' forehead.
"General Hamill!"
"Dear Lord Marquis, the general is here!"
"You have to keep an eye on me. There are three hundred cannons. Make sure each cannon has enough shells!"
"In addition, there are more than ten thousand guns and hundreds of thousands of bullets in the warehouse, all of which are distributed to the soldiers!"
"Remember, as long as the enemy steps into the range of the artillery... I will teach them a lesson!"
The burly General Hamill stood up straight: "I promise that as long as the enemy dares to invade, they will never come back!"
