When the first light of dawn slowly shone on the earth, the wilderness in front of the walls of Watt Fortress seemed so peaceful and peaceful. Looking at this scene, no one would have thought that it was here. Just last night, there was a tragic killing, where tens of thousands of people shed their blood, and tens of thousands of people screamed here. Now, only the exposed land that was still faintly red can remind people of the massacre last night.

The thorny flags on the city wall are still standing, but the soldiers standing on the city wall are already full of fatigue and confusion. In the middle of the night last night, the Great Moon Kingdom suddenly launched a fierce attack on Wat Fortress, and the battle continued until dawn. After the two sides paid the price of thousands of casualties, the Great Moon Kingdom finally withdrew.

At this moment, the soldiers on the city wall did not sleep all night, and looked blankly at the military camp of the Great Moon Kingdom in the wilderness in the distance. In the continuous barbarians of the aliens wearing fur and long scimitars had already begun to form a team. "It seems that today is another fierce battle..." Some veterans couldn't help but sigh, and looked at the sun that had just risen in the sky, wondering if they could survive today.

The originally strong and tall city wall was already full of wildfires. The black smoke and red blood dyed the city wall into a terrifying gray-death color. The city gate was smashed to pieces in the battle last night. Although the soldiers in the city had urgently reinforced it with giant trees before dawn, the soldiers on the city wall could not help but feel up and down when they saw the heavy and sturdy crash slowly coming out of the Great Moon Kingdom.

General Ruben, the commander of the Northwest Legion, stood above the city gate. He had already fought for one night last night. At this moment, he felt physically and mentally exhausted. The defeats over the past few days made him feel frustrated. As the commander of the Northwest Legion of the Empire, he lost a large area of ​​the empire, suffered losses, and was finally besieged in this Wat Fortress. Ruben knew in his heart that even if he could hold on here, by the time the reinforcements defeated the army of the Great Moon Kingdom, his legion commander would have been over. After the war, His Majesty the Emperor would definitely be the first to kill him, the defeated general.

But Ruben is still struggling to support it. Just because he must not let the Northwest Army be wiped out in Wat Fortress! As a loyal soldier of the Empire, he must hold on until the last moment! He cannot let the last barrier of the empire's northwest - Wat Fortress fall into the hands of the Great Moon Kingdom! He knew that behind him was the flat northwest plain! If the Great Moon Kingdom breaks through the last line of defense of Wat Fortress, then the entire Northwest Plain will be ravaged under the iron hooves of the Great Moon Kingdom!

Morality had already fallen to the bottom, and he was defeated continuously. Only less than 100,000 troops were left in the 200,000 army. And Ruben knew that even among the 100,000 soldiers who had been injured and lost their combat ability, less than 70,000 people who still maintained combat ability. Ruben felt a deep fear of Luo Yantar, the commander of the Great Moon Kingdom. This terrible opponent has a weird military use, especially good at long-distance raids. Just like a wolf on the grassland, he can always find the opponent's weaknesses and then bite it hard!

Frankly speaking, Ruben knew that he was not an excellent strategic expert. He was a diligent and determined soldier. He was better at being an executor rather than a decision maker! Back then, when he was under the command of the great Duke of Tulip, he could do his best to complete any instructions and tasks issued by the Duke!

He slowly rose to this position today after he fought bravely under the command of Duke Tulip and accumulated military merits. Of course, this was related to the lack of real military talents in the empire after Duke Tulip passed away. However, if he had Ruben become the commander of the first army, he would let him plan and win a thousand miles, it would not be possible for Ruben to be the commander of the first army.

Especially facing the opponent Luo Yantar, who is famous for his cunning and cruelty on the grassland, since Ruben fought with him, he was defeated step by step! He was in a completely passive state!

Thinking of his glory when he was under the command of Duke Tulip, Ruben sighed deeply and couldn't help but touch his half-white beard. He didn't like to be the commander at all. In comparison, he prefers to be a brave commander under the Duke. At that time, he could not think about anything, just carry out the orders he had drawn up! - Instead of following a group of staff members in the commander's headquarters all day long, racking his brains to think about the next move of his opponent.

Shaking his head, Ruben forced himself to concentrate—the army of the Great Moon Kingdom in the distance has begun to assemble the entire team! It seems that today will be another bloody battle!

"Hmph! Let's see if your saber is powerful or my long sword is powerful!" Ruben sent an order loudly, asking all the soldiers under the city to go up to the city wall to prepare for the battle.

Fortunately, like the tradition of the barbarians on the grassland, Luo Yantar also has his weaknesses - he is good at plains and field battles, but he doesn't seem to have any good ways to attack the city.

After learning that he used sneak attack methods and lightning speed, Ruben pulled out Black Stone Fort and Trier Fort in one breath. Sure enough, these days, the Great Moon Kingdom has re-used the same trick again. First, on the night before, more than 100,000 troops suddenly drove to the city, and then attacked the city without stopping, almost caught him off guard - those damn explorers were all idiots! Two hours ago, he also reported that his opponent's main force was still in the Mudan important town hundreds of miles away, but he ran down in a blink of an eye! If Ruben had not been prepared for his loss several times in a row, he would have succeeded in sneak attacking again.

These days, the other party always attacked the city while the night was dark, and during the day it was just symbolic harassment. It was obvious that he wanted to use this method to consume the combat effectiveness of his army and to use fatigue harassment tactics to drag him down.

The soldiers were already exhausted, but the main army of the Northwest Army was the elite of the empire after all! Ruben could not defeat Luo Yantar on the plains, and the alien cavalry on the grassland came and went like the wind, which was indeed a headache, but you must know that no matter how powerful the cavalry was, it was useless! The siege was based on infantry!

Ruben ordered the archer to prepare. The only capital he had in his hands now was the archer. When Luo Yantar sneaked into the important town of Mudan, the army retreated and lost all its equipment, especially the stone catapults and fire crossbows that were indispensable to the city defense. Those things were not brought out in chaos!

Fortunately, Ruben made the most courageous decision in his life!

When he saw that the defeat was irreversible, Ruben resolutely ordered the burning of all the military supplies that could not be taken away! Although he felt very distressed, Mudan City had stored sufficient combat preparations for many years, various excellent equipment, stone catapults, firecrowns, etc., and enough food and grass for a hundred thousand troops to eat for a year, all of them were burned by a fire! The fire that was lit took three days and three nights. In the end, although Luo Yantar gave the death order to put out the fire at the cost of killing and injuring hundreds of people, he only rescued the remaining little food.

Fortunately, Ruben made that decision! Otherwise, Luo Yantar would have obtained the excellent equipment, and I am afraid that they would have pushed the catapults made by the empire to attack the city!

"Sir! They are coming!" a commander under his command shouted loudly.

Ruben cheered up, drew out his sword, and whispered: "Rise the battle flag!"

Under the city, the army formation of the Great Moon Kingdom has been assembled, and the cavalry is on both wings, and in the middle are neat infantry formations!

"Damn it!" Ruben cursed fiercely: "Infantry! God knows how Luo Yantal trained those barbarians who only know how to ride horses and can't walk into infantry! Humph, do you think that if you can arrange two square formations, it's infantry?! Let me see how powerful your infantry is!"
Chapter completed!
