I was a knight in the Middle Ages

Chapter 137 City Attack and Defense

"Report to Lord Russ, the enemy is attacking our mining area. They have captured the east gate and are pouring into the city in large numbers. We can't stop the enemy at all." Cromwell had just finished speaking when the enemy's intelligence arrived.

"Cromwell, you actually colluded with foreign enemies to attack us. Are you worthy of our Scottish Empire?" Ruth roared angrily.

Although this is the Prairie Kingdom of Porto, it is almost an open secret that a large number of mining areas are occupied by foreign countries. This is also the mining area of ​​the Scottish Empire.

"King Charles is not worthy of being king. He only oppresses the people and harms the country. You are not trustworthy. You promised to let me manage this place, but you just put me under house arrest." Cromwell was a nobleman of the Scottish Empire, but he belonged to the anti-imperialist camp. In order to win over Cromwell, the Scottish royal family actually gave him the management rights of overseas gold mines.

"Don't tell me that you are exploiting the people and harming the country. If the gold mine is really handed over to you, you won't talk like that. You are only doing it for profit. Now the whole world is the back garden of my Scottish Empire. What else are you dissatisfied with?" Ruth was a pure royalist, dedicated to serving King Charles.

"Ruth, surrender, you will definitely lose." Cromwell just watched coldly, as if everything was under his control.

"Even if I fail, I won't let you survive." Russ knew very well how powerful the other party was, and that ability to bewitch people was terrifying.

"Ruth, you are doing an injustice to the Scottish Empire by doing this. I also hope that Scotland can become strong and go to the world, but King Charles does not have that ability or determination." Cromwell's reminder was drowned out by the increasingly fierce sound of fighting.

Although it was inevitable that Rowling would occupy the gold mine, it also seemed that Russ would capture the underground miners.

Under the attack of Ruth's army, the miners' resistance was almost ineffective. The key point was that Ruth only attacked Cromwell. The instinct of survival made more miners give up protecting Cromwell.

"Ruth, you have seen how powerful our Scottish Commonwealth Empire used to be. The whole world is our backyard. But now Scotland and Ireland are divided, and the country is no longer like a country. What else can the king do except exploiting the people and harming the country? All this wealth was won by our nobles at sea, and now he takes it all away with just one word, and he wants to cut off our navy. We cannot allow this." Cromwell had given up persuading him and roared mercilessly.

"All this was given by the king, and there is nothing wrong with taking it back now." Rus's loyalty has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

"No, this is given by this country. Charles wants to destroy this country, and I will not allow it." Cromwell shouted angrily.

"Cromwell, don't be a noble in your next life." Ruth kicked Cromwell away and raised his sword to give him the final blow.

At the critical moment, a sharp arrow pierced Rus' chest. With the sharp arrow in his chest, Rus fell down dejectedly.

"Put down your weapons, surrender, and accept the sanctions from our Alpha Legion, otherwise you will be killed without mercy!" Rowling shot accurately, and the underground world returned to peace.

"Everyone, line up and surrender in order. No noise or chaos!" Under Rowling's rebuke, everyone rushed to the ground to discuss the matter.

At the same time, Rowling sent Lilia and Gunn to lead 400 cavalrymen to meet Makina's knights. After discussing the plan, they returned triumphantly to support Lord Alpha in Titanium Mine City.

Since then, the external plans designated by Alpha have been completed in excess. Although they can continue to occupy other mining areas, the problem of insufficient personnel has also been exposed. In particular, Alpha has attracted a large number of enemies in the Titanium Mine City and must be supported. Otherwise, the foundation will be shaken and everyone will become rootless duckweed on the grassland.

……

"Lord Alpha, the enemy has been attacking us for two days and two nights. If this continues, we will be exhausted sooner or later." Phyllis was exhausted, with obvious dark circles under her eyes.

"Confirm, have all non-combatants evacuated the industrial zone?" The core of Alpha is the industrial zone, where the city walls are tall and thick and the attacks are relatively few.

"Everything has been arranged. At the same time, militia reserves are being sent to the front line one after another, and casualties have been dealt with in a timely manner." Phyllis has arranged everything in an orderly manner.

"Well, you guys retreat to the industrial zone immediately. It's too dangerous outside now." Although the outer wall is still in their hands, the battle for the wall has lasted for no less than five times. The situation is very dangerous. "I will inform you in time if there is any situation."

"Lord Alpha, our catapults are out of ammunition, and our bows and crossbows are also in short supply." Lim also reflected on the current difficulties he was facing.

"Use slag ore to make ammunition and transform the crossbow into a large slingshot. Don't waste any resources." Alpha could only make such improvements because he was not a magician and could not conjure supplies out of thin air.

"Something bad is happening, Lord Alpha. Strong magical fluctuations are appearing in the direction of the south gate. I'm afraid something big will happen soon." Darwin suddenly shouted.

"It's just as I guessed. What's the worst case scenario when the enemy also has a magician?" Since Darwin is a magician, Alpha guessed that there must be a magician in the enemy team.

"It must be some powerful magic that can destroy the city walls," Darwin said with worry in his tone.

"Can you find out the enemy's position and kill them?" This magic that can destroy the city walls is too threatening, and Alpha must destroy this important weapon of the enemy in time.

"Yes, but it will take some time. They have broken the agreement that magicians cannot participate in human wars, which has violated the provisions of the Magic Alliance Agreement." Darwin has begun preparations.

"Phyllis, ask someone to inform Liad that without my order, Liad is not allowed to go up to the city wall, even if the wall has been breached. Veterans must only attack after the enemy has reached the top. Once the enemy's offensive is reduced, our personnel must stay fifty meters away from the city wall. Once the wall is breached, immediately retreat to the inner city." Alpha cannot rely entirely on Darwin and must minimize losses.

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Phyllis also heard Darwin's warning and immediately arranged for someone to notify Liad.

……

"Lord Alpha, what kind of crappy order is this? Isn't this going to tire us old soldiers to death?" Upon hearing such an order, Liad was extremely dissatisfied.

"Captain Liad, the enemy's main force is retreating. What should we do?" We were supposed to rest, treat the wounded and organize our equipment, but now no one knew what to do.

"Carry the wounded away, leave only the reconnaissance sentries, and everyone else get down." Liad gave the order with dissatisfaction.

"Found it, Lord Alpha." Darwin said solemnly, "I am going to deal with these scums who violated the alliance agreement."

Darwin's magic had locked onto the target, making a terrifying aiming sound.

Instantly, a loud rumbling sound shook the earth, like a landslide. A strong and dazzling white light spread from the center of the explosion, and the surroundings were immediately surrounded by a powerful energy wave. The air was filled with thick black smoke and dust, and the temperature rose instantly, making people feel suffocated and hot.

After the explosion, the entire South City was reduced to ruins, the city walls collapsed and turned into rubble, and there were stones and dust everywhere.

The explosion did not attract attention among the enemy group in the distance and only caused dozens of deaths. However, these people were not simple. They were all magic apprentices who had the hope of becoming magicians.

"Damn it, who is that? I'm going to kill him." Seeing all the magic apprentices he had trained with great effort buried here, the magician Gus was extremely angry.

"Mage Gus, the Magic Association has long stipulated that it is not allowed to participate in human wars. You have violated the alliance agreement. If you take action yourself, no one can save you." Another magician immediately grabbed Gus and reminded him of the provisions of the alliance agreement.

"But they actually killed all my magic apprentices. I can't swallow this." Gus' eyes were red and he was furious, but he didn't dare to take action.

"Mage Gus, we have to report this to the Magic Association. They are using magic against ordinary people. We can report it in advance." Magician Coslin was very curious about the strength of the magician opposite. He was able to find Gus's location just by magic fluctuations, and killed the magic apprentice trained by Gus in one fell swoop. It can be seen that the opponent is quite powerful.

"Okay, I'll report to the Magic Association and make him pay the price."

......

"Oh my god, Nancheng is finished, Lord Alpha saved my life again." Liad looked at the ruined Nancheng, his heart still beating fast. If Alpha hadn't reminded him just now, if he hadn't obeyed Alpha's orders, he would probably have become scum in the ruins now.

"Lord Liad, what should we do now?" The city walls are gone, and there is no favorable terrain for resistance.

"Tell Lord Alpha that the South City has been lost and we are now retreating to the inner city." Liad could only continue to resist with his soldiers.

The inner city was now isolated by Alpha's magic into a dozen small walls three or four meters high. Alpha had expected the outer wall to be breached, so he was not surprised.

"Charge." After two days and two nights of continuous attack and the loss of nearly 1,500 people, the bandit army finally broke through the outer wall of the Titanium Mine City.

Just when the enemy was preparing to start a massacre and celebrate their victory, they saw the low wall and defensive measures in front of them. For a moment, they looked at the wall in front of them in confusion, not knowing what to do.

"Charge." The enemies in the distance were completely turned into living targets for the city guards, and the enemies nearby were turned into hedgehogs under the attack of the gun holes in the city walls.

"Attack with gunpowder and poisonous smoke." There were traps in the city. A large amount of chemical weapons were thrown into the narrow corridors outside. The enemies who had no way to escape were burned into jerky by gunpowder and half-dead by poisonous smoke.

"Everyone put on gas masks and don't inhale too much poisonous gas." The city guards had already been prepared, and each of them put on protective gear, reducing the losses to a minimum.

"Lord Liad, the wall of the third area has been destroyed by the enemy's heavy weapons. What should we do?"

"So fast? Stop them, use gunpowder and charcoal to burn them to death." Although the trap takes time to set off, Liad knows very well that whether it is poisonous smoke or gunpowder, he must block the enemy's offensive layer by layer to buy time for the trap to take effect.

"Mobilize the chariot crossbows and shoot those heavily armored cavalry to death."
