Chapter 184: August 7th
But regardless of the consequences, Sun Lin was still very excited to make a preface to the attack at Fort Biliga, and firmly declared that it was because the atrocities committed by the Warsaw people in the Mars Empire were really miserable (obviously the Warsaw people were beaten by the weapons of war in the Mars Empire), and Sun Lin sent troops to the Warsaw Alliance on the grounds of saving the Mars people and the dire situation. And smiled and told the two envoys of the Mars Empire and the Warsaw Alliance that he was just going to pick up the slightly naughty General Bobby under his command to pick him up, and he would not do anything about killing, of course, Sun Lin also told the envoys of the Warsaw Alliance that wherever the army goes, it is the territory of the empire, because Sun Lin said: "Our army will never set the sun and promise the two, and our troops will only walk under their own territory." ”
And then, and then there was none. After sending away the Mars envoy who gave him the control seal that originally belonged to the Lance Empire and gave it to him, and the Warsaw Alliance envoy who had been plucking out his tongue in the course of the actions of the Empire, on August 3, at noon, Sun Lin's 80,000 vanguard troops composed of 40,000 hook sickles and 40,000 Lanster hammer soldiers attacked the capital of the Warsaw Empire's territory that had been taken by the Warsaw Empire and originally belonged to the Lancester Empire with rudimentary siege weapons. Although the high-level leaders of the Warsaw Alliance had already known that the Sun Never Sets Empire had declared war on itself and strengthened the defense of the capital of this territory and the troops stationed there, because most of the main forces of the alliance were either attracted to the mountain city battlefield on the northeast defense line of Mars, or were dragged by the Sun Never Set cavalry troops that penetrated deep into the alliance, the number of troops guarding the city at this time was not even 30,000, and they were all soldiers at the level of lightly armed sword and shield warriors, not even strong heavy infantry and crossbowmen.
In this regard, the leader of the vanguard force, Captain Leo, directly chose the simplest 2 waves to send it, and without long-range weapons and engineering weapons in the team, let 40,000 Lanster Mace soldiers with improvised siege ladders raid the walls of the capital city on all sides.
The Warsaw city guards, who were no match for the lightly armed sword and shield men recruited from the Colosseum, were beaten without even a trace of temper under the blow of the mace, and the crossbow-wielding militia of Warsaw did a lot of damage to the Leinster soldiers before they advanced to the city walls, and crossbows and armor-piercing weapons were indeed the two nemesis of the lightly armed troops. However, after these Lanster soldiers attacked the city wall, these crossbowmen were extremely poor in melee combat, and the militia, who could not even use a long dagger, were immediately subjected to the special care of the hammer soldiers.3 After the defeat and surrender of the Warsaw garrison troops, 60% of them were killed, and most of the dead troops were crossbowmen, but those who took iron shields and one-handed swords did not die much.
And next, in addition to opening the city gate to welcome the main force of the sunset, is to rectify the security hazards in this territory, but it is also very simple to rectify. Although the Warsaw Alliance has a spy network called the Friends of the Forest, the Empire of the Sun Never Sets also has the Killer Guild and the Thieves' Guild, and under the handling of the elites of these two guilds, the members of the Friends of the Forest lurking in the territory were all eliminated on the night the capital city was broken. Then, according to the usual practice, Sun Lin immediately transferred 2,000 Italian militiamen from the logistics force to maintain law and order after leading the main force into the territory, and ordered all the Warsawians in the territory to be assembled and let another 2,000 Italian militia force lead them to move to York, so that the number of Nerandians and Warsawians in the territory reached 4 to 1, and then began to re-march, at this time it was August 7.
There were two other incidents that occurred at the same time, one was that the troops of the Mars Empire, after obtaining the medium catapults and ordinary torsion ballistas provided to them by the Sunset Empire, crossed the northeast defense line on the morning of August 7, and marched to the main city of the Warsaw Alliance with the Sunset Empire, and this time the Mars Empire gathered a total of 180,000 people from 80% of its professional troops in the country after the previous Battle of Mountain Castle.
However, the Mars Empire did not have the good fortune of the sun never setting, although the previous defeat of the Warsaw people in the mountain city left a shadow of defeat on many generals and legion commanders in Warsaw, but the Warsaw people fled back after the defeat as many as 40,000 troops, including more than 4,000 Warsaw Guards, and there was a 80,000 professional army led by a king in the alliance 3 royal family stationed in the castle where 40,000 Warsaw defeated soldiers gathered, so the Mars Empire encountered a difficult bone at the beginning.
Fortunately, the 30 medium-sized torsion catapults provided by the Sunset Empire this time are powerful and can throw stones of less than 230 kilograms, while the 20 ordinary torsion ballistas provided by the Sunset Empire are only slightly worse than ordinary scorpion crossbows in terms of accuracy, and it is more than enough to shoot the Warsaw soldiers hiding behind the wooden baffles on the city wall, of course, it is definitely not comparable to the accuracy of the steel improved scorpion crossbow. Under the blow of two weapons, the Warsaw soldiers did not even have the courage to go out of the city to fight, and the Warsaw Guards also wanted to go out of the city to fight, but not to mention the Mars Hunters (a new long-range unit produced by the imitation of the Sunset Longbowmen, used to replace the compound archers, but their weapons are still compound bows) learned from the Sunset Longbowmen to set up pointed wooden stakes, even those 20 ballistae can make these Warsaw Guards never have a chance to return after they get out, The king who led the army didn't seem to want his soldiers to waste on such meaningless sacrifices, so the king refused to go out of the city to meet the battle, so that the 120,000 troops could only be crowded in a small castle, anxiously waiting for the siege weapons and ammunition of the Mars Empire to be exhausted before going out of the city to meet the battle, but the king did not know that there was a smuggling caravan that never set on the Mars Empire and New Edinburgh.
By the way, the territory returned by the Mars Empire was merged into the Edinburgh Territory, and the original Lancester Empire Territory that the Sun Never Sets Army previously recaptured from the Mishar Empire was merged into the newly established Wilcot Territory, only that piece was initially rectified on August 7, that is, today, and the territory recaptured from the Warsaw Alliance was in a pending state, so far, Sun Lin has finally completed the task of fully conquering the Lancester Empire, the reward is currently unknown, and Sun Lin is ready to receive it after dealing with the Mishaal and Warsaw issues.
As for the second thing that happened, it was also caused by the Sunset Empire, because just today, the 90,000 elite troops in Fort Wilcot attacked under the leadership of Andert, and there was also a major rebellion in the Michael Empire that had never appeared before, Duke Curt and Duke Creekt officially took over the two dukedoms killed in the previous battle today, and announced their separation from the Mishar Empire and allegiance to the Sunset Empire!
