"Okay, then Volantis and Eredar will leave fifteen hundred men each, and the rest will start moving immediately. We must seize the time and be in position before the Hinterlanders land. Peter, let your
The maritime force is trying to slow them down, and the rest of them will gather their troops and set off immediately!" Jino commanded the others, but the others did not contradict him, but nodded and left the tents to take action.
Soon, under the cover of night, this behemoth entrenched on the ground quietly moved into action. Although the coalition forces did not move with great fanfare, the mobilization of tens of thousands of people was inevitably discovered by Taiweisan's defenders, who immediately
The commander currently in charge was found.
Rexxar also followed them to the city wall. After carefully observing the enemy camp for a while, Rexxar's expression suddenly changed.
"The last batch of reinforcements from the Hinterlands are about to arrive. The enemy must have gotten the news and are planning to go around and raid the port when the reinforcements land. Mashan must release the Long Eagle to notify Terra City and the Hinterlands reinforcements.
, get them ready!”
The commander who stayed behind in Terra also realized the problem. He immediately grabbed the adjutant beside him, issued several orders in succession, and then turned back to ask Lexa:
"Then what should we do? Just stay here?"
"If we don't prevent us from attacking them from the rear after breaking through, the enemy army will inevitably leave some defenders to stop us. It depends on what Terra City says. If they can't hold on, we can only give it a try!"
On the other side, after receiving Taiweisan's letter, King Terra was discussing with Hogul.
"It seems they can't sit still and are preparing to raid the port when the reinforcements have just landed and are tired. Hogul, what do you think we should do?" King Terra asked Hogul after reading the letter.
"We must support and we must not let them succeed. Although the reinforcements are very tired after marching on the sea for a long time, the enemy's army is bound to be in imperfect condition after three days of attacking. We still have a good chance of defeating the enemy with the help of street fighting at the port. Moreover, the enemy has rushed deep.
In the hinterland of our army, supplies will definitely not be able to keep up.
They won't fight us to the death, and they will retreat when they find that they can't achieve their goal. We don't have to pursue them rashly at that time, we can launch a counterattack after the reinforcement round is completed.
But we must find a way to tell the coalition forces at sea so that they can be prepared."
"Well, okay, I'll do as you say, Hogul. You lead the troops and set off immediately. Although Longying is fast, the enemy should have covered nearly half of the distance. We must not let them succeed."
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that needs attention!"
"Huh? Say it!"
"It's the prince's side. They are still within the enemy's radiation range. If the enemy's raid fails this time, they are very likely to give up the siege of Taiweisan and instead send a large force to break through the prince's fortress and capture the prince and me alive.
Negotiate with the army or kill the prince directly to cut off the successor of our country!"
"Well, it's true. Let someone write to them and let them be prepared. After we repel the enemy, we will take a rest and then gather all the troops to rescue them. I hope they can hold on before then."
King Terra and Hogul looked at each other and sighed at each other. Their sons were in deep danger at this time. They couldn't help but worry, but there was nothing they could do. For the sake of the overall strategy, they must not send troops to rescue them now.
"What did Seljuk say?" King Terra asked again.
"I have already sent a reply, but their asking price is very high."
"Promise them, we can't lose this war!"
Two days later, the Hinterland fleet had appeared on the sea level, and all the residents in the port had been dispersed. The rooms were full of soldiers from Terra, and the cavalry regiment led by Count Sirabi was not far away.
Get into position, and once you see the signal, you will launch a charge to face the enemy from the side.
The fleet slowly docked. This time the fleet was larger than the previous two combined. In addition to the Hinterlands troops led by Master Mordo, there were also nearly two thousand mercenaries attracted by Terra's generous commissions.
The heavily armed soldiers disembarked in batches, but did not carry supplies. Obviously, they had already prepared. After receiving the news, Hogul found Sirabi that night and informed him of the situation. Sirabi immediately used Xint.
Lan's unique contact information informed Mordo of the possible raid.
Sure enough, when most of the soldiers had disembarked from the ship, there was suddenly a cry of killing in the distance.
"Kill!!!!!"
The terrain in the port is not suitable for cavalry charges, so Volantis's heavy cavalry are making the final push and acting as reserves. At this time, the two mountain tribes who rushed into the port were the vanguard, the Eredar warriors and the Volantis slaves.
The regiments are infantry on both wings.
In fact, Tiberius had already sensed something was wrong when he rushed into the port and found that there was not a single civilian in the port. When he found that the enemy troops were waiting at the ship harbor instead of carrying goods, Tiberius knew that his feeling was right.
, the enemy had long known that they would launch a surprise attack.
But the troops behind pushed the troops in front, and it was impossible to retreat at this time. Tiberius could only grit his teeth, hold the double-sided battle ax in his hand, and charge forward with his men roaring.
In the open area of the ship harbor, the Hinterland reinforcements were ready. The first group was mercenaries holding long contradiction cards and wearing various armors. Behind them was the 3rd Hinterland Infantry Regiment led by Mordo, numbering 1,500.
A mixed force of hundreds of bows, arrows, swords and shields.
In order to transport goods back and forth, the main road of the port was built very wide, and there were many crooked alleys extending unexpectedly from the two main roads, and there were scattered residential buildings.
Dense arrows were shot from the Hinterland troops, and the tribal warriors raised their shields to block. Only a few unlucky ones were hit by the arrows, and were trampled to death by the soldiers who rushed up.
Tiberius raised his giant axe, using the wide blade of the ax as a shield, and kept charging towards the Hinterlands troops.
The distance of a few hundred meters passed in an instant. The soldiers in the front rows of the two armies collided fiercely. Some tribal warriors were pierced through the chests with spears, and some Hinterland mercenaries were knocked down by shields. The soldiers in the first rows of the two armies collided violently.
Almost all died instantly, and the soldiers who followed roared and continued to move forward and entangle themselves.
At the moment when the two armies handed over, countless soldiers rushed out of the alleys on both sides of the main road. They were Terra's ambush troops. They were hidden in civilian houses and rushed from both sides when the coalition forces and the Hinterland troops fought.
When they came out, they immediately defeated the coalition forces, and they were immediately surrounded on three sides.
Jino, who was looking at the battlefield through binoculars outside the port, changed his expression when he saw this situation. When he knew that the sneak attack turned into a direct battle, he immediately thought of something.
"Quick! Let the reserve team defend on the east side. Terra's troops will never be able to just have a few people. They must be nearby. We must not let them sneak attack us from behind, otherwise the troops in the port will become turtles in the jar!"
