Chapter 334 A great victory

Upon seeing this, the great elder shouted excitedly and charged towards the defenders who were fighting back.

At first, the defenders, led by the armored officer, still had some courage.

But when they saw the army outside the city, their morale suddenly collapsed.

"Escape"

Most of these soldiers were mercenaries, and their loyalty to Malacanda was very limited. When they saw the large army appearing outside the city, they quickly judged that it was not something Malacanda could resist.

Therefore, after only fighting for half a quarter of an hour, the city gate defenders dispersed, leaving only the officer and a few soldiers continuing to fight.

These few soldiers can be called warriors, but relying on a few others is nothing more than a mantis' arm as a chariot.

These people were quickly killed, and the army from outside the city also smoothly poured into the city.

"Attack with me!"

After the army entered the city, under the command of Mas, a small number of troops were left to meet the follow-up troops, while the rest immediately went to the inner city.

"What's going on!"

Kandar heard the sounds coming from the city and quickly got up.

"Your Majesty is in trouble...the enemy has come in!"

A guard ran in shouting.

"What's going on? Where are the enemy troops coming from?"

Kandar asked anxiously.

"It's too dark, so I don't know for sure, but he should be coming from Dongcheng!"

"The person who came from Dongcheng is the Great Elder Mas of Dawan!"

Kandar immediately thought of Mas who entered the city today.

"Do people from other chambers of commerce want to make a move?"

At this time, Kandar thought that his tax increase policy had caused the businessmen's coup.

"Probably not!"

"What do you mean there shouldn't be!"

Kandar was furious when he heard this.

"Damn it, gather the palace guards immediately. It's time to show these damn businessmen how powerful they are!"

While Kandar was shouting, the east gate of the inner city had already fallen into the hands of the Dawan people.

At this time, the nobles in the inner city also thought that the caravan in the city was causing trouble, so they didn't take it to heart, and instead prepared to see Kandar's joke.

Kandar's policy of increasing taxes on caravans also offended the interests of these nobles.

The palace guards in Kandar are well-trained.

He was able to sit on the throne of the king only because of the 400 palace guards in his hands.

Under his order, the guards quickly completed their assembly.

Kandar left sixty guards to continue to defend the palace, and led the rest of the guards to kill the east gate of the inner city.

When he arrived at the east gate of the inner city, the outer city had completely fallen into the hands of the Dawan people.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. The merchants in the city could not have such powerful power.

When he discovered this, he hesitated, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

After repeated urging from his subordinates, he made up his mind to launch an attack on the east gate and recapture the city gate.

Unfortunately, it was already a bit late at this time. Kandar had just launched the attack, and the Great Elder Dawan had already led his army to the east gate.

The two sides had an encounter at the east gate of the inner city.

Kandar's army was small in number but well-equipped and well-trained.

The Dawan army is poorly trained and equipped, but it has a numerical advantage.

The battle between the two sides became intense as soon as it broke out.

Both armies suffered heavy casualties, but as time went by, the number of Dawan troops increased.

Although by this time the nobles of Maracanda had already noticed that something was wrong and came to support.

However, the additional troops Kandal received were still far inferior to those of the Dawans.

As the battle continued, Kandar gradually couldn't resist and had to retreat to the palace to defend himself.

After Kandar retreated to the palace, the Great Elder of Dawan did not continue to attack the palace, but devoted his main force to other nobles in the inner city.

Facing the Dawan army that already had an absolute advantage, the nobles in Malakanda did not continue to resist, but chose to surrender knowing the current situation.

With the cooperation of these nobles, the Dawan army had completely controlled the inner and outer cities before dawn.

…

The long dark night has finally passed, and the brilliance of the sun shines on Maracanda again.

At this time, Kandar had less than two hundred soldiers left.

Facing the Dawan army besieging the city, the soldiers were filled with despair.

"Please come out and speak, King Kandar!"

Dawan Grand Elder Mas changed his usual attire and wore an armored cloak. The attendant behind him held a battle flag and rode forward calmly.

Everyone in the palace was in a panic when they saw this. In the panic, someone shot a bow and arrow at Mas and others, but the arrow fell to the ground more than ten steps away.

Mas looked at the arrow that fell on the ground and smiled, then continued to order his followers to shout, "Please come out and speak to King Kandar!"

Half a quarter of an hour later, Kandar finally appeared on the palace wall.

At this time, Kandar had long lost his former charm. After just one night, he had become much older.

Kandar, who used to be full of energy, disappeared, leaving only a decadent little old man.

"Mas, this king has not violated Dawan's interests, why are you harming me?" Kandar asked first.

Mas smiled and said, "Kandar, you are also considered the king of a country, how can you be so naive... You have no way to retreat. Continuing the battle will only increase casualties, so you should surrender quickly."

Kandar looked at Masr contemptuously, "Masr was too proud. Our Parthian Empire has millions of troops... The Parthian army will definitely crush you Dawan the next day!"

When Maas heard this, he shook his head, "An Anxi will not stand up for you... The big man is the most powerful country in the world!"

Kandar's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but he still said calmly:

"Masr was a hero when he was young, so why bother with false threats? How could the Han Empire support Dawan?"

Mas smiled and said, "Without the support of the big man, how dare I, Dawan, do this!"

Kandar was silent when he heard this.

At this time, he was already convinced. Without the support of the Han Dynasty, Dawan would not dare to go to war with the Parthian Empire.

Thinking of this, he raised his head and shouted to Mas:

"Mas, even if Dawan has the support of strong men, don't forget that this is the middle of the river. Anxi is close but the strong men are far away!"

Ma Dao said, "Don't you know that Dahan has already built the road between Dawan and Dahan?"

"The army of the Great Protector of the Western Regions of the Han Dynasty can extend the road and enter the river at any time!"

"Kandar, your only way out now is to surrender!"

Kandar gritted his teeth and said, "You can surrender if you want me to, but Dawan must agree to my conditions!"

Mas smiled and said, "Kandar, it seems you still don't understand the current situation. You can only surrender unconditionally!"

Kandar said angrily, "Mars, aren't you afraid that I will fight you to the death?"

Mas smiled contemptuously and said, "Kandar, you can try it!"

At this time Kandar turned around and looked at the soldiers behind him.

At this time, the soldiers' faces were full of frustration.

Kandar understood that the soldiers had lost the confidence to fight.

At this time, Mas continued to shout, "Kandar, I can promise you that as long as you surrender now, you can still retain your position as a noble!"

Kandar was silent for a while and then painfully replied, "I am willing to surrender!"
