Chapter 164 Siege

Duke Seleto's reinforcements were indeed stunned. Like Conrad, they didn't know what was being used on the other side, and they still fought according to their previous combat experience. In this way, the situation was to end up with Conrad. After the machine gun was fired, Duke Seleto's troops had stopped moving forward, and there was really no way to go up. Although there were still many soldiers who were not swept to death by the machine gun because of their luck or especially those who were blocking the situation, they didn't dare to move forward at all. At this time, Ted's troops launched a charge in reverse, which was not the second round of battle, but just the second round of massacre.

The "bang bang bang" rifle sounded, and the remaining soldiers of Duke Seleto began to fall down one after another. After seeing the people in front of him, they turned around and started to run away. The non-commissioned officers couldn't even shout. The so-called surprise attack troops had no resistance at all when facing the modern armed forces. Soon, the soldiers fled, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the troops were directly disbanded.

The surprise attack troops are no longer threatening, and the trouble is still the troops on Conrad's side. Although the opponent's defeat is now decided, Conrad's retreat is very determined. Even if his reinforcements appear, the opponent has no intention of turning back and retreating as soon as he says.

I have to say that this really made Ye Junwen and the others quite a headache. First of all, although this wave of reinforcements was simply defeated, it attracted a wave of attention when they first appeared. Although it only attracted a while, it still made Conrad and his troops slightly gather the formation. The troops still retreated in an orderly manner along the formation, which made it difficult for the pursuing soldiers to deal with.

What is more effective is the pursuit of cavalry. The damage caused by their pursuit is still very large. If they can disperse the enemy's formation, the effect will be even better. However, there are indeed well-trained soldiers on the opposite side. Although they are chased by cavalry a little badly, the formation is still maintained, just not messy.

Seeing this situation, Ye Junwen really hoped that he would have two modern equipment troops. In this way, Conrad really had no choice. However, there was only one, and they were still dealing with Duke Seleto's reinforcements, so they could not participate in the pursuit.

In this way, Conrad's troops fought and retreated. Although they suffered great losses, they still retreated smoothly to the west and left the most dangerous plain area. The areas to the west have many woods, which is very troublesome to impact the cavalry. In this way, they have to face only the pursuit of infantry. As long as the formation is not chaotic and they retreat slowly, the losses will not be that great.

"This Conrad is really awesome." Ye Junwen couldn't help but say when he saw this situation.

"I have to say that he has rich combat experience. Although he was defeated, he still preserved a large amount of troops before causing the biggest loss." Hejar next to him said.

"The ammunition of special troops is almost used. If you come back to replenish supplies and then go up, you probably won't have time to chase him." Ye Junwen said, "If this happens, you may have to let the other party go."

"Yeah." Hejar nodded, "What about us, should we continue to pursue or retreat to repair first?"

"Of course, it's a continued pursuit. The damage it can cause is as much as it can." Ye Junwen said, "What should I do when I go back?"

So Ye Junwen's troops chased Conrad's troops all the way west. Although the other party's retreat was orderly, after all, it was a retreat and their soldiers would not fight, so the pursuit along the way was also a considerable price for the other party to pay. This pursuit took three hours and finally chased to Maranville City, where the Fifth Legion was previously located. The other party's troops entered the city directly and finally stopped.

In this battle, the Fifth Legion's troops were defeated. Not only did they lose a large amount of troops, but all the equipment and supplies of the troops were left behind. They could only retreat into Maranville City, otherwise they would be exhausted. However, soon, Ye Junwen's troops who were chasing him surrounded Maranville City. The current situation and the crisis have not been completely resolved.

"Are you siege?" Hedgeal looked at the city of Maranville in front of him and asked. Although Maranville is not a particularly strong city, they do not have any engineering equipment now. They were originally here to fight the decisive battle on the plains, so why do they bring the siege equipment? So those things were all kept in the city of Edmede before. If they were transported over, it would probably take one day.

"What else can I do?" Ye Junwen said, "Try it a little and see if it can explode the city wall. If it doesn't work, you can only attack the city."

Ye Junwen has no confidence in blowing up the city wall. Although he really has a bomb on his hand, it may be more troublesome to blow up the wall directly, and at most one piece is blown up. But it can't get in even if it blows up. It still needs to cooperate with siege weapons, and people need to put them on the bomb. You think that the person inside is a fool, and you can't shoot arrows when you see your people in the past. As for long-range, the strongest destructive power is the rocket launcher. However, the rocket launcher has no response to hitting the city wall. It is not powerful enough, so you need a cannon.

There is no way. If Conrad's troops are not solved, they will not be able to continue walking west, otherwise they may be stolen by others, so they still have to find a way to solve the remaining people. Ye Junwen also said that he was really too confident after having the gun, and this was still a bit of a mistake. Although the frontal troops did defeat the main force of the enemy, the opponent retreated in time.

So the troops of the First and Second Alliance could only siege the city while adjusting the city, and then used local materials to make some simple ladders and other things, which were obviously preparing to siege the city.

Of course, the people in the city are actually much more anxious than them. On the one hand, it is because of the new defeat, and on the other hand, it is also because of the enemy's army. Their reinforcements have been defeated before, which means they have no reinforcements, which has killed a group of people. Can Duke Seleto send people to come?

An anxious mood spread throughout the city, and the soldiers were obviously depressed. Of course Conrad also discovered this situation, but he didn't say anything. He could only try to appease the soldiers, and of course the effect was not very good.

It is obvious that the war is over here, and everyone thinks that the eldest prince's rebellion will end in failure, because the eldest prince's strongest combat power is the troops of their Fifth Legion, and they were defeated by the First and Second Alliance, and are now trapped here by the siege. It seems that they are going to lose.

Once they lose, the soldiers know what their fate is. This rebellion is a real death sentence, and the kind of crime is unforgivable, so they will be completely ruined.

Of course, Hejar and Ye Junwen also guessed what was going on in the city, so of course they also tried to make the other party surrender directly, which saved a lot of time and could return to the main city immediately after solving the Fifth Army. So they also sent people to send General Conrad a letter of surrender. Of course, what they said was very good. If you abandon the darkness and turn to the light, they would try their best to fight for you in front of the emperor. After all, the rebellion is too big. You say that you can save you 100% and that is, it is obviously a lie. But the soldiers can still guarantee that, that is, if you surrender now, your soldiers can save their lives.

Not only were they targeted General Conrad, they carried out the work of recruiting ordinary soldiers to surrender, and they kept sending people to shout at the city to make the soldiers surrender. Anyway, before the siege equipment arrived, they would just recruit a wave of surrenders first, and it would be fine if they failed to successfully attack the opponent's fighting spirit.

To be honest, this trick was very effective. When the soldiers heard the shouts below, they were ready to move. No one wanted to die, right? The atmosphere in the city suddenly became tense, and the non-commissioned officers began to worry about whether the soldiers would mutiny and arrest them and surrender. So when they saw the letter of surrender, many non-commissioned officers also began to be a little moved.

Conrad, he hesitated a little this time. He was not unclear about the current situation, but he really couldn't surrender. However, he really couldn't help but pull all his subordinates to die with him for his own personal reasons, so he was very hesitant.

After thinking for a while, General Conrad finally replied that the surrendered person would give him a day to consider, that is, he would come back tomorrow. Of course, the surrendered person was just a message, and he would go back soon and tell Ye Junwen and the others the news.

"If you don't refuse, it means there is hope." Hejar said. To be honest, he is very optimistic about this colleague, so he also hopes that the other party can wake up. Conrad is indeed very capable, and this defeat is just because of Ye Junwen and those new weapons. When encountering such things, no matter who comes, no matter who comes, anyone will be caught.

"No matter whether there is hope or not, we can't attack the city now, and we still have to wait for tomorrow." Ye Junwen said.
