Chapter 55: Occupying the fortress

The ambush ended soon, and the enemy's troops broke through and escaped were less than three floors, which was also due to the narrow and long terrain.

"General! We should take advantage of the victory and seize the northern pass, and close the door and fight the dog!" Lu Su looked at the enemy who fled in the panic and immediately suggested.

When formulating this action plan, Di Qing, Lu Su, Zhang Wei and others booked several plans, one of which was to seize the northern pass.

Lu Su's suggestion was exactly what Di Qing wanted, and Di Qing immediately ordered: "Okay, order the entire army to pursue!"

When it comes to pursuit, it is completely a specialty of the cavalry! They will make the enemy feel the sense of despair that they can't escape no matter how they escape!

When the fast-moving cavalry chased the enemy, the enemy had no choice but to survive again and again.

Otherwise the cavalry will use their powerful mobility and impact to let the enemy know what there is nowhere to escape.

However, even if the troops are sent to cut off the rear again and again, it is just a way to quench thirst, unless the other side has reinforcements!

------------

At this time, Emon ordered another army to cut off the rear. Including the first team, this was the fifth army he sent to be responsible for cutting off the rear.

But every time, the strange cavalry behind them that made them dare to be frightened would soon catch up, especially the heavy cavalry among the enemy cavalry, which was even more frightened.

This small heavy cavalry will cause heavy losses to Emon's subordinates every charge. You must know that his subordinates are the most elite troops south of the entire Hartengtaohai Mountains, and even the bow hunter hunter who hunts the bow collar cannot compare with him.

Because he was responsible for guarding the Hartengtaohai Fortress for many years and preventing the Shangdao leader from harassment from those powerful territories outside the northern fortress, Emon was given the title of guardian knight by the lord.

But now, he had a premonition that he was afraid this war would not be that simple.

Emon has been ordered by the Lord to support him, he has led all the elites of the fortress to support him.

What he didn't expect was that after more than three days of march, he was about to reach the city where the lord was located, and he was immediately ambushed by the enemy.

Fortunately, his soldiers were all elite and well-equipped. Even ordinary spearmen had a piece of leather armor that could protect their chests, so the losses were still within acceptable range.

Emmon also saw the legendary sound like thunder, which could fire weapons that would explode iron balls. Of course, he could not let the enemy go so wild. He immediately asked the soldiers to launch a counterattack, ready to destroy or capture the enemy's weapon.

But the subsequent battle shocked him!

Whether it was the enemy who advanced and retreated in an orderly manner, the orders were prohibited, or the enemy generals' grasp of the fighter jets, he was very shocked.

He had never seen such an army before, especially the enemy's heavy infantry wearing iron armor, with extremely strong combat power. After forming a battle formation, the elite soldiers who he had always been proud of were even difficult to counterattack. Everyone who wanted to be strong would be in a different place.

Seeing that the counterattack ended in failure, Emon had to choose to break through with the loss of troops and generals, but before he could order the direction of the breakthrough, the enemy's cavalry arrived and gave him a blow.

Finally, under three attacks, his soldiers were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he decisively ordered a breakthrough in the direction of the fortress.

After Emon and the few remaining soldiers successfully broke through, the cavalry behind him actually drilled through the entire road, rushed up, and launched a pursuit battle against them...

"Guardian Knight! There is the Harteng Sea Fortress ahead, we are almost here!" An officer next to him reported to the devastated Amon.

When Emon heard the words of his officers, he raised his head and looked at the Xiongwei Fortress between the two mountains. He felt very friendly. He had been here since he was a child!

"Look at the moment, the cavalry behind are probably going to catch up again!" Amon cheered up and ordered to his officers.

"Yes, Lord Guardian Knight!" After the officer received the order, he went to organize the few soldiers into the city.

Looking at the few soldiers left behind, Emon looked at the rough count and found that there were only a thousand soldiers who could return to the fortress safely, only about one-tenth of the time they sent troops.

This made him very frightened, sad, and a trace of fear and despair from his heart!

Emmon was respected by his subordinates because he was different from other powerful people, that is, he attached great importance to the soldiers being soldiers and did not think that these soldiers were consumables without any weight. This may be related to his experience, and perhaps his subordinates were all elite...

No matter what, he felt sad for the soldiers who did not return, and was also shocked by the defeat.

"Oh~!" Emmon stood on the wall of the fortress, looked at the cavalry chasing from afar and sighed deeply, and ordered helplessly: "Send someone to ask for help!"

If this order to ask for help was not a last resort, he really didn't want to issue it. After all, it would be embarrassing to let his old opponents who had been for decades support him.

Before supporting, Emon knew that this war was a war to protect the Continental Convention, and it was to conquer the new territory in the south that broke the convention, so he was not afraid that the old opponents in the north would not come to support it.

But he didn't know if he could still persist in getting support on the day he arrived!

"Order all young and strong civilians in the fortress to go up to the city wall to defend! Also, prepare to demolish the house!"

------------

"Order! The whole army attacked!" Di Qing decisively ordered the siege when he saw the collapsed city wall!

This is the fifth day of the pursuit battle. The remaining enemies behind have been handed over to the cavalry led by Zhang Wei to be responsible for cleaning up - who made the cavalry more mobile!

The infantry also arrived outside the fortress a day ago. After nearly a day of bombardment by field artillery, the enemy was successfully afraid to stand on the top of the city. Di Qing sent artillery to the base of the city wall with gunpowder and began to bury gunpowder.

The city wall of the invincible fortress in the eyes of the enemy was destroyed by a swaying mountain and earth, and by the way, it crushed countless enemy troops to death!

With Di Qing's order to attack, the first one to attack the city were the heavy infantry lined up in front.

The fortress in the eyes of this enemy has two city walls, one south and one north. The city wall outside the mountains to the north is extremely tall and strong, even taller than the city wall of Tianqianguan, but there is no complete city defense facilities of Tianqianguan.

The wall facing the Shangdao City in the south is not very strong, it is just an ordinary city wall.

According to the information found by Chen Ping, it is said that there was no such city wall to the south before, but this prevention wall was built since the mercenaries attacked the fortress.

But no matter what, this fortress has now fallen under the control of Xia State!

"Report to General! This pass has been taken down by our army, and all the enemy troops stationed in the army have been killed!" After Lu Su integrated the battlefield intelligence, he reported to Di Qinghui.

As for why the enemy was "been" killed, it was because the Xia Kingdom did not accept prisoners in this war!
