When the Landis's assault boats finally came to the beach, the rebel defenders in the port area finally collapsed completely.
Landis' assault boat finally broke through the blockade of the sea entrance. The densely packed boats carried Landis' soldiers, raised swords and shields, and archers. They turned over without waiting for the boat to land at the diving place. Jump into the water, hold a crossbow and shoot at the rebel defenders on the shore.
Bow and crossbow came and went, but the rebels who were already in chaos on the shore were mostly injured.
Once the Landis came ashore, the battle for the port officially came to an end. Ghislent's guess was not wrong. The rebels lacked the courage and determination to fight to the death. More importantly, these rebels did not intend to die here. They were not familiar with the coastal defense system of the port, and were only attacked when they encountered an attack. After that, I resisted instinctively for a while. After the officers were all scared, and the team with Ruhr, although there were not many people, but the quality of the elite team made troubles behind, once the situation became chaotic, it would stop. Can't get over it either.
Landis's landing army soon split into a tight formation on the coast. Archers and soldiers holding swords and shields lined up to stand firm to meet the increasing numbers of Lan who landed in small boats behind. Tees Army.
Standing on the bridge of the flagship Freelander, Ghislent looked at the shore with a telescope. The first wave of troops who landed had already established a firm foothold, and they were still lining up in an orderly manner to meet more people... This Randy The commander-in-chief of the navy suddenly sighed: "Oh, it's still too conservative." He glanced at the lieutenant beside him: "Who is the leader of the first wave of landings?"
The lieutenant next to him also retracted his binoculars and smiled lightly: "It's that guy Reagan. It seems that he did a good job. The beach has been occupied, and the next battle will be easy."
Jislent shook his head, frowning and said, "Legen's courage is still too small, too safe. You see, the defenders on the shore have obviously collapsed on their own. At this time, since they have landed, they are still strict. What are you lining up on the beach waiting for the follow-up troops to do? Concentrate your troops and rush up immediately! Those defenders are already scared, as long as we take a charge posture, I am afraid they will all be routed immediately. Legan seems to be old after all Now, doing things safely is not enough, but aggressiveness is not enough. Hey, you know, in our navy, we just need to maintain a heart that dares to take risks and dare to gamble.”
Gislent thought for a moment, then said to the lieutenant: "Write it down, remind me after the war, and send Legan to serve in the Admiralty."
The lieutenant next to him was a bit complicated in dark color, but under Ghisrent's serious eyes, he just lowered his head and wrote it down.
Jislent decided the fate of an admiral in his words, but he took off the command knife from his waist and threw it to the guards around him. Most of them walked to the deck of the ship and shouted: "Put down one Small boat! I'll take people ashore first!"
As soon as he spoke, several lieutenants around him changed color, and someone stopped him: "Sir! The battle on the beach is not over yet, when our second wave of landing troops is up, it will not be too late for you to take command... "
"Ha! Legan's courage is too small! Wait for the second wave of people to go up, I'm afraid it will be dawn! Now this time, every moment is as precious as gold! Release the boat!"
Seeing that the people around him were still trying to stop him, Ghisrent finally glared and drank.
The number of troops who landed in the first wave of the Landis was only two or three thousand, and they were still on the shore in accordance with the practice of landing operations. The troop carrier has just entered the sea entrance, and the boats have not had time to put them down.
Ghisrent, with no more than twenty guards and a few lieutenants, left the flagship in a small boat and landed!
The commander-in-chief of Landis's navy is indeed vicious, and he is also extremely keen on the timing of the war. As soon as he got ashore, he immediately took over the command without any hesitation, and ordered the first wave of troops that had landed, not to use it. Waiting in line on the spot, the entire army immediately divided into several battalions, divided into several directions, and charged towards the harbor area!
At this time, the Landis people actually did not have enough troops ashore, but two or three thousand people, and the number of rebels in the harbor area was probably more than the first wave of Landis landing troops, and there were a large number of coastal defense colleagues. In hand, if there is a strong command and determination to resist, these two or three thousand people want to seize the seaport area in one go, it is simply a joke. If they encounter a counter-charge from the defenders, I am afraid they will be able to drive the two or three thousand people directly into the sea. Even if they lack the courage to counter-charge, as long as they stick to the fortifications of the arrow towers, these two or three thousand are absolutely incapable of taking over the strict and deep and generous coastal defense system. Consumption, it can also make two or three thousand people bleed dry on the beach!
But, Ghisrent bet was right!
However, the landing troops of two or three thousand hurriedly launched a charge. The defenders in the harbor area had no intention of resisting at all. Seeing Landis's army rushing up with swords and shields, the defenders just hurriedly put down a few arrows and started to retreat at random. In the beginning, it was just a retreat in twos and threes, and finally it evolved into an evacuation of the formation of a team. Once someone picked the lead, how could the others be willing to fight to the death
The arrow towers on the coast were originally the strongest fortifications. If the defenders carried it hard, even if the Lantis people could chew them down, they would not know how many lives they would have filled, but once they charged, they found those arrows. The defenders in the tower hurriedly withdrew from the inside, and then swarmed towards the city and ran away in a hurry, even in a hurry, and even threw away their armor and crossbows. .
Several passers-by charged over and seized six or seven arrow towers in one breath, but none of them died. The Landisians took down almost all the arrow towers around the landing beach without firing an arrow.
Jislent did it even more thoroughly. He even ordered that no one should be left to guard the captured arrow towers. The whole army just rushed forward and rushed forward!
In the harbor area, a ridiculous and absurd situation suddenly formed: only two or three thousand landing troops drove the scattered defenders that were multiples of their own to chase and kill, and gradually gathered into a group, heading towards the city. Rushing away.
On the dock, the direction of the warehouse was still full of fire, and the fleet of the Landisians on the coast had already entered. It only took less than half an hour for Ghislund to completely occupy the entire area of the harbor area, and the defenders were all was completely expelled from him.
In the end, Ghisrent finally saw the fat man Ruhl who was covered in blood under an arrow tower.
There were only more than 30 people left around Ruhl. All of these elites were seriously injured, and some of them were already sitting on the ground so tired. Seeing the arrival of the Landis, they could only lean against the wall and gasp for breath.
Luer has a knife in his hand, the blade has been mottled and I don't know how many cracks. The armor on his body is also damaged in many places, and his fat face is full of blood, and he can't even see his original face. . Fatty was also stabbed on the shoulder, and his shoulder armor was cut off, and the blood was flowing non-stop, but watching Ghisrent lead someone to rush up, Fatty immediately threw the knife in his hand and shouted loudly: "My own man. My own!"
Jislent rushed to the front, saw the fat man's appearance, and finally took a breath and said with a smile: "I guessed that there was someone on the shore, and it was you! Ruhl, if you weren't here, I'd be afraid of me. We have to fight hard until dawn to get ashore.”
Seeing that Ruhl threw the knife to the ground just now, Gisslent frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Ruhl smiled, squinting at the bearded general of Landis in front of him, and said lightly: "You are very cunning, others don't know you, when you were in the Imperial Military Academy, you didn't know how to fight with you. Hundreds of games, I still don't know you? If I don't throw my knife and declare my identity loudly, maybe you, a sinister guy, will take the opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to kill Laozi! Hmph... In the chaos of the army, if you die in In your hands, where did Lao Tzu complain about his grievances, you just spread your hands after the incident, and you explained it with an accident."
Jislent's eyes changed, looking at Ruhl, both of them laughed a few times.
Ruhl immediately said: "The pier is already yours, Ghisrent, now there are at least more than 100,000 rebels in and out of the city, now..."
Jislent did not hesitate: "Now, of course, there is no need to ask! I will bring people into the city immediately, and go straight to the palace! As long as the palace of your country is not broken and Your Majesty is still alive, this battle will still be fought!"
Ruhl sighed, he nodded, but looking at Ghisrent's eyes, his eyes became more and more gloomy.
(Go straight to the palace... hum... )
Although Ghisrent has the heart to gamble, he is not a fool. This time he did not dare to bring more than 2,000 people into the city. The city is full of rebels. People swallowed.
He was patient and kept urging his subordinates to give orders. After more than half an hour, the second wave of landing troops finally came ashore.
There were tens of thousands of troops gathered, and Jislent immediately took people out of the harbor area and swooped all the way towards the palace!
The city is in chaos again.
The seaport area ping-pong-pong played in the middle of the night, and then, the defenders in the harbor area retreated, and the Landis army landed ashore, and the news that they had occupied the pier kept spreading.
The originally huge Osgeria, after the city was destroyed, has been divided into pieces of spheres of influence by various rebels, and the rebels are entrenched in different neighborhoods in the city, looting and plundering.
Once Ghislent brought people and killed him non-stop from the harbor area, the rebels in the city didn't even have time to make a strategy of resistance.
The rebels from all walks of life fought their own way, and Gisslent had no intention of taking over the entire city of Osgeria at once. He just personally led a team of no more than 10,000 people and rushed towards the palace. In the past, if the rebels in the blocks along the way blocked him, he would naturally beat and dash without hesitation, but if the rebels along the way did not block him, he would also roar past with people, not even interested in taking a look.
In this situation... It was made clear that they went to the palace to fight hard, and whoever fought hard with him would be foolish.
Rushing all the way, only two groups of rebels resisted a little, but under the footsteps of the imposing Lantis people, they were quickly smashed, and the rest of the rebels simply stopped. Not moving forward, and I have no intention of going up to contain it.
At this time, there is no prestige commander in the rebel army who can suppress all the way, and there is no strategy that has been unanimously approved by everyone. Everyone is so messy, the Lantis people rushed all the way to the palace, but it went smoothly. Even Ghisrent himself almost lost his eyes.
These Byzantine rebels... are they all mindless? !
Outside the imperial city, it has been killed into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
In the middle of the night, Hughes went mad and urged the troops to attack overnight. The ping pong pong in the harbor area made the Governor's face even more ugly!
In the end, if his subordinates hadn't tried desperately to stop him, the governor would have rushed forward with his armor on!
His own commander was so mad, his subordinates had to fight hard. One by one the flag regiments were moved up one by one. Outside the palace gate of the imperial city, although the square was considered to be spacious and magnificent, after all, a palace cannot be compared with the real city. In such a big place, no matter how many troops are spread out If it is not open, only one flag regiment and one flag regiment can be transferred to fight.
The guards in the palace have always been strict, and the defenders know that they are at the end of the road. If the palace is broken again, it will really be dead!
There is a death on the left and right, it is better to fight to the death, kill one more rebel, and also pull one more back!
In addition, the emperor himself stood up to boost morale, and the defenders fought bravely.
Tonight, the rebels suddenly went crazy and fought for their lives, but the defenders knew what was going on in the harbor area. After many days of fighting, they finally saw some hope! Everyone is the last Yu Yong to rise up!
The rebels used human life to fill it, and the defenders also used human life to fill it!
After fighting for these days, the defenders have been severely damaged. Even Emperor Garcia's own guards have already put on armor and fought on the city wall. Some of the strong court servants in the palace have also sent weapons and armor to the city wall to resist.
The rebels launched four or five consecutive charges overnight. Under the madness of Hughes, who fought for his life and did not care about losses, he even captured a section of the imperial city wall and almost took down the gate of the palace. In the end, it was General Spahn himself, with several officers, who rushed to plug the gap in person. In the end, several lieutenants around Spahn were killed in action, so the rebels were forced to drive down.
This is the most dangerous time... but also the last time!
After several consecutive charges, the rebels were finally exhausted. No matter whether Hughes jumped behind or vomited blood, the troops could no longer attack.
After days of bloody battles, after entering the city, other families are robbing and making a fortune, only their own troops are still crying, and they have already accumulated too much dissatisfaction. The generals have tried their best. At this moment, if Hughes wants to forcibly drive away again, I am afraid that the next step will be to provoke a mutiny!
After the last charge was driven back, Hughes turned his ears and heard the sound of ping-pong-pong fighting in the harbor area, as well as the roar of the ballista, and he didn't know when to stop.
This rebel governor's face that was originally blushing suddenly turned pale by the way. He swayed and looked at the imperial city in front of him - up and down the square, there were fallen corpses everywhere, broken armor and swords all over the floor. , the blood has accumulated a thick layer on that square! In such a cold weather, a layer of blood ice even accumulated! No matter how cold the air is, it cannot suppress the strong bloody smell...
tried my best... really tried my best...
Hughes suddenly smiled bitterly, opened his mouth, and a mouthful of blood came out of his mouth.
He swayed again, and someone around him had come to support him.
"grown ups… "
Hughes snorted, about to speak, but before he opened his mouth, another mouthful of blood came out, and his face became even more pale and blue.
"Sir!" There were tears in the eyes of a confidant next to him: "I'll take someone up here myself, instead of taking down the palace gate, I'd rather die on that gate!"
As he said that, the general was about to turn around, but Hughes suddenly opened his mouth behind him. His voice was not loud, but he was very determined: "Stop!"
The general turned back, Hughes had already smiled miserably, shook his head and whispered: "No need... The opportunity has passed!"
He struggled to stand up, and in a very strange tone, he said slowly: "The order... retreat! We retreat... get out of here!"
"My lord... let's go back... where do we go?"
Some of the subordinates are suspicious. The territory of this whole city is almost divided up by the rebels from other families. The army of their own family said they were retreating, but where did they retreat
"Where?!" Hughes suddenly smiled again, but in this smile, his eyes were even more ugly.
Finally, he gritted his teeth hard, and almost squeezed out such a sentence from his mouth.
"We... out of town!"
As soon as these words came out, the subordinates were immediately shocked, and some people shouted: "Sir! We fought hard to enter the city! How can we get out now?! Even if the territory is divided by other families, with our Armenian No one can give us a little bit of strength! Even if the Lantis people enter the city, we are not afraid of dozens of rebels... How can this city of Osgeria be easily let out... "
"Shut up!" Hughes' eyes were red, and he finally shook his head: "You don't understand... If we can't conquer the palace, this city is no longer ours!"
He suddenly clenched his fists: "Hateful! All the accomplices are a bunch of short-sighted clowns! If it wasn't for these guys being stupid and short-sighted, how could the good situation be ruined like this! Ridiculous! Above this history book, I, Hughes, will eventually be the laughing stock. !"
He was already desperate in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Assemble the whole army! Get out of the city! Get out of the city! Let those idiots fight the Landis people in the city! If you don't leave now, it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave if you want to!"
The Armenian rebels received an order to retreat, and the whole army was already tired of the war. Once the order was given, they immediately left the Imperial City Square in waves. Hughes didn’t talk nonsense, and took the people to the northeast of the city. On the way, I also encountered the army of El Salvador, who originally planned to join forces with Hughes to attack the palace. Seeing that Hughes had withdrawn, how could El Salvador not know the situation? He also did not hesitate, and immediately ordered his troops, together with Hughes's troops, to slowly move towards the northeast and leave the city overnight!
"Return?!"
Jislent's team had already rushed to the distance of only two blocks from the palace, and news came back from the vanguard troops who had opened the way. It was only said that the rebels under the palace had already arrived before their own army came up. The assembly was withdrawn, and the queue slowly went away, but it was just the work of the front and back feet.
Even when the vanguard of Landis' army arrived at the palace, the retreating rear of the rebels were within sight. But the rebels didn't seem to have any intention of fighting, but the rear team took a posture of strict precaution and slowly evacuated.
The square outside the palace is full of corpses, as well as the buildings outside the surrounding square, almost all of which have been demolished. The stone materials were used to make ramming wood and throwing stones during the siege of the city, and there are ruins everywhere. .
When Landis' vanguard arrived on the square, they only saw the imperial flag and eagle flag of the Byzantine Empire standing above the palace gate on the top of the palace.
"It's good to go."
After carefully savoring the news sent over, Ghisrent calmed down immediately after being surprised for a while. He even stroked his beard and said, "Hughes is really not a fool, but he can see the situation clearly. This person is also a bachelor. He knows that he has lost, and he does not entangle. When he leaves, he simply leaves! Hey!"
It's just the humane who reported earlier: "Sir, there is only one thing..."
"what?"
The officer who sent the message looked a little gloomy: "Our former army has already gone outside the palace, and the enemy has been cleared, but the gate of the palace is still closed, and the person who called us went up, but the other party refused to open the gate of the palace. Moreover, our people are not allowed to approach the city wall of the palace! The defenders on the city wall are very vigilant, and the swords, weapons and bows and crossbows in their hands have never been put down. When some of us tried to approach, the other party shot arrows to warn... Sir, these Byzantines... "
When Jislent heard this, he suddenly smiled strangely. He looked at the officer and said lightly: "It's nothing strange. At this time, how dare the Byzantines open the gate of the palace to let us in... Humph! They are the last ones left. A little bit of capital, the emperor is still there! If the door is opened, we will take the opportunity to enter and hijack the emperor..."
Suddenly his eyes lit up again, and he couldn't help but whisper to himself: "If, really..."
Jislent raised his head suddenly, his expression extremely awe-inspiring! Staring at this subordinate: "Look at the garrison on the imperial city... If we rush up, can we be sure to break the city gate and enter within a moment?"
