Chapter 110:Xiongying Cheng Battle (Part 1)

In the morning mist, Tifeco Wimbledon could dimly see the flag flying on the city.

He raised his mirror to try to identify the coat of arms on the banner.The sailboat and crown motif on the green bottom undoubtedly belonged to his sister, Garcia Wimbledon.It is also the largest flag in the city.

The second is the white flag, the tower on the white cloth and the viper wrapped around the tower, which is the emblem of the Barya family.Oh, he sneered in his heart, took refuge in the Queen of the blue water, but still hung the flag of the high tower pattern, which was simply brazen.Until I catch you as a traitor, I must feed you and swallow it, Count Baria.He thought in his mind.

Finally, the tall tower lion on the red bottom, the equally shameless Sheta family.Tiffico was expressionless, but in his heart he had already sentenced Ayling Sheta to death, as was the case with Toman Barya.Of course, you also need to eat a flag.

"Sir Nemen, raise the flag of the Kingdom of Grey!"Tifeco ordered.

"Follow me, Your Majesty."The knight of the wind answered, and then the horse ran to the army behind him, "The king has a life, raise the flag!"

The new king looked back and saw a flagpole being raised, the gray flag unfolding with the wind, the black pattern looked solemn, the huge tower and the long gun dumped on both sides and cross each other, which was the emblem of the king of the gray castle.Any traitor will plead guilty under this flag.

After receiving the news of Garcia, he immediately responded - mobilizing the people and horses of the eastern and royal capitals to attack the Eagle City.Although his heart was like a huge wave at that time, he remained calm on the surface, which strengthened the confidence of the minister who supported him.

It took nearly a month to gather the vassals and troops, and a week to the east, and another half a month to get here, and Tifeco finally arrived at Eagle City yesterday when the sun set.Fortunately, the king was not affected by the demon's moon, and the road to the south would not be impassable because of the snow, but the ground was very strong because of the low temperature and cold, and the carriage team carrying grain was faster than those free people.

His ranks were large, mainly by his own SS, the Knights of the Royal City, and the troops of the Duke of the East, Fran Cherit.Three groups of horses add up to six thousand people, of which well-trained, well-equipped knights, up to a thousand.According to reliable information, Garcia's troops were less than three thousand, and most of them were freemen in the port of Bishui, and they usually plundered unarmed peasants and merchants, and the frontal battle could not be the knight's opponent.

The Minister of Finance, Sir Gold, had raised objections, arguing that after the end of the month of the Devil, farming was to be carried out everywhere, and that the conscription of the army would adversely affect the harvest.Therefore, Tifeco did not ask the vassals to send serfs to the war, but gathered the free people in the territory, who were responsible for the logistics.In this way, even if they fight in the south, they will not fall into spring cultivation.

In any case, Tiffanyko Wimbledon must not allow Garcia to stay in the South.Eagle City is not a strong city, its predecessor is a market, just in the middle of the surrounding towns.Later, with the development of commerce gradually evolved into a city, the time is less than 100 years.In addition, successive lords have not built insurmountable walls in order to promote their pro-business image.The civilian army of three thousand men and the two count's men did not add up to any large army, and the earlier the counter-measures were made one day, the greater the chance of victory.If you give her the opportunity to let her completely integrate the whole Southland, it will be very difficult for her to defeat her again.

After a night's rest, his horse has been full of food and drink, ready to go.The sun gradually changed from orange to bright gold, the fog began to dissipate, and the earth-brown walls appeared to be real - in the eyes of the new king, it was not a real wall in the true sense, at best, it was just a soil slope.From the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope are a slope, without any siege ladder, directly by both hands and feet can climb up.The top of the slope is a circle of more than one person high round wooden fence, which can block the vagrants and robbers, but they cannot stop the fully armed fighters.

The people at the head of the city stood sparsely, obviously not as if they were ready for the city.

“Your Majesty, the cavalry, who was in charge of stalking the southern gate, reported that the action of the brigade had been observed.”The knight ran back to the new king, Lema reported.

Tifeco handed the lookout mirror to Prince Fran, and in a tone he said easily: "It looks like she wants to escape."

The latter looked at it carefully and nodded, "It is also a decisive choice to make up your mind so quickly."The eagle city is not suitable for death, and she put people and horses in the city, and it will only be wiped out by us."The duke laughed here, "As you had expected at the war meeting last night, she didn't expect us to come so soon."

“The time we arrived was just right,” said Tiffico. “She couldn’t move at night, even if she wanted to escape.”

“You’re right, the night march is a big deal.If she does not have to do that, without our initiative, the team will not fight.Once the people and horses are separated at night, it is almost impossible to gather together.In this way, even if she escapes back to the port of Bi Shui, there is only one way to die.”

“My dear sister, therefore, must wait until dawn before she can command the army to retreat.”Tifeko looked with satisfaction at the city of the eagle, thinking that everything she had done did not exceed her own expectations.Garcia was too greedy for the symbolic status of the Eagle City, and the troops stationed here - the occupation of the southern country guarded the mansion is indeed easier to conquer the hearts of the southern aristocracy, but the benefits are also accompanied by the crisis.He specially sent a feint army to slow down the road, he first led the cavalry to the east, without step, the food consumed by the carriage.After arriving in the east, the Duke filled the remaining troops and traveled from the other side of the kingdom to Eagle City, and the cavalry blocked the road first to reduce the possibility of the spies passing on the news.

The army operation could not have said to go away, Garcia should have only received the news of the two or three days before, and it was a hasty act to begin to retreat at dawn today.It takes a day to retreat from Eagle City to Qingquan Town, and two legs can't run on four legs anyway, and as long as a thousand knights catch up with her team and follow up, her ridiculous coalition will naturally collapse.

Unfortunately, Garcia is still likely to escape from her own hands, and if she leaves three thousand people, one person rides away, it is not difficult to return to the port of Bishui alive.

It will be time to go to her old nest to finally end this farce, he thought.

"Sire, then, act according to the plan you have set it up."Prince Fran said, "Do you wait for me to attack the city, and pursue it through the south gate of the city, or to go around?"If you go around, take a more walk.”

"It is better for me to go around from the southwest," thought Tiffico, "that the knights are inconvenient in the narrow streets, and Garcia may also block the streets with debris and hinder the passage of troops."A detour, even if it is an hour at night, does not prevent the subsequent pursuit.”

"Then I'm leaving, Your Majesty."

"Beware," Tifeco reminded, "that Garcia must not have left any troops in the city, and the traps are estimated to be many."Also beware of narrow streets and many places with houses.Just ambush a group of dead people can threaten your safety.”

"Haha," said Prince Fran, with a smile, "peace be upon your majesty, that when I followed your father into battle, there were hundreds of heads cut off by hand, and never were wounded."He waved to the guard around him, “Mong trumpet, attack!”

The army behind him surged up, several people came out of the formation, led by several knights, and marched toward the Eagle City—the free people who were pioneers, the mercenaries in armor behind them, and the main force of the siege.The knights brought by the duke were all concentrated under himself.

When the great forces began to storm the city walls, Tifeko led the remaining knights and tugs from the south-southeast.
