When they arrived at the city gate, they found that the city gate was already crowded with people. Various vehicles and people blocked the city gate, moving step by step toward the outside of the city like turtles.
The city gates were open openly like this, and there were no defenders visible on or below the city. All order seemed to have disappeared, and people were scrambling, crying, and squeezing their way out of the city.
Lorraine looked at the crowded crowd at the city gate and couldn't help but frown. He shook the riding whip in his hand and made a loud crack in the air. Then he shouted loudly: "First Cavalry, get rid of the crowd."
.”
At that moment, dozens of knights agreed, and then rushed towards the city gate aggressively, only to find that the civilians who were leaving the city ignored them at all and continued to fight for themselves.
A group of knights saw this, but they did not dare to gallop. If the war horses trampled these unarmed civilians, even if the checking military police did not cause trouble for themselves, they would be ridiculed by their colleagues as "road killers" in the future.
His reputation is in disgrace.
They had no choice but to slowly rein in their horses, then waved their whips and shouted loudly: "Get out of the way, get out of the way~!"
Those who were fleeing from the city were extremely tough. They didn't even look at these ruffians in military uniforms.
They either pushed each other and continued to squeeze out, or they yelled at Lorraine and the others: "The city gate is crowded like this and you are still rushing in. You have no brains."
Someone even shouted: "Brothers, stop working for the officials, they have already escaped."
Some people even put their hands on their hips, showing off their official power, and shouted: "You bastards! You are really blind. Do you know that I am the brother-in-law of the mistress of Lord Guard's thirteenth room?"
If you dare to lay a finger on me, I will report it to the garrison master and ask him to whip you bastards to death~!"
For a time, the field was extremely chaotic.
The current cavalrymen were already crowded together with the civilians, but they could not move even an inch as they looked at the city gate that was just around the corner. In order to advance forward, the cavalrymen were forced to pick up their whips and whip them at the surrounding crowds.
.
Who would have thought that the civilians who were being beaten not only did not retreat, but actually shouted, 'They hit people, they hit people again~!"
All the knights couldn't help but feel extremely depressed, "Why do you say it again?"
At this time, the common people shared the same hatred, shouted and surged up. They shouted loudly: "Beat them, beat their brother-in-law. Beat those bastards~!"
They waved their fists and wooden sticks above their heads, and some impatient people even rushed forward and pushed the horses and knights hard, forcing them to retreat or even tilt.
The knights could only use their legs to clamp the horse's belly and control the horse to rock back and forth.
Seeing that they couldn't squeeze through, some guys simply turned around and ran towards Lorraine, pointed at Lorraine's noses and started to curse.
Lorraine listened attentively, and there was nothing new in the scoldings made by those people. They were probably scolding them for eating people's food and not doing anything for human affairs. Officials only knew about corruption and bribery. When they saw the enemy, they had diarrhea and ran away alone.
class.
And at most it's just shit, shit, shit, etc. It's far less exciting than the curse words I've heard before that incorporate the essence of five thousand years of civilization.
The few knights under the city gate were surrounded by civilians on three sides and kept pushing and pushing them. But against these unarmed civilians, driven by their strong sense of honor, the knights only dared to use whips instead of knives at most.
deal with them.
As a result, they were outnumbered and unable to retreat after being defeated by those brave and skilled common people.
During the pushing and pushing, there was a "chip" sound, and the Almohad uniform, which was originally poorly made and had holes in it, was torn open, and then, it was forcefully pushed.
Pulling, they immediately took off the outer covering, immediately revealing the white-on-red-cross attire of the Holy Knights they wore underneath.
Seeing the conspicuous Maple Leaf Danlin logo on the knight's robe, the knight and the people around him who were pushing and fighting all froze.
Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "He is an enemy. They are all enemies."
Immediately afterwards, countless voices shouted in panic, saying: "The enemy. The enemy. The enemy is coming. The bad guys from Maple Castle are coming to kill them."
When Lorraine saw that his identity was exposed, he could only sigh and turned around and ordered: "The whole army is ready for war and ready to charge. Follow me..."
He hasn't said the word "rush" yet.
Immediately, the civilians were heard shouting in unison: "Run away, run away. They are coming to kill them."
After saying that, the crowd that had just blocked the gate of the city, with three floors inside and three floors outside, collapsed like a snow mountain collapsing.
They dropped their packages and vehicles and fled in all directions, screaming.
It seemed that only a blink of an eye had passed, and before Lorraine could react, the common people had already fled in a hurry.
Only an empty door and a mess on the ground were left. Then a wisp of cool wind swirled, carrying a few fallen weeds and leaves, making a whooshing sound, blowing in front of everyone in Lorraine.
.
Through the open city gate, you can still see the billowing smoke and dust disappearing at the end of the horizon at the other end of the long street. At the same time, there is a faint voice: "It's too scary, run away quickly. Hurry up.
Run away. Otherwise, you will die..."
A wild dog sprang out from nowhere, holding a bone in its mouth. It looked at everyone in Lorraine with disdain, then raised its tail proudly and walked past in a grand manner.
A big drop of cold sweat dripped from the back of everyone's heads, and then they all looked at Lorraine with a resentful and reproachful look, without saying a word.
Lorraine was also depressed, cursing in her mind: If I had known they were so cowardly, why would I have asked everyone to change their clothes? I really got kicked in the head by a donkey.
Under the embarrassment, the anger in his heart surged, and he tore off the Almohad uniform on his body, then waved the long sword in his hand and shouted angrily: "Are you still waiting for milk? Come at me~
!”
After saying that, he shook the rope, urged the war horse, took the lead, and galloped towards the city.
The knights saw this and immediately laughed loudly. Then in the laughter, they urged their horses and rushed towards the city following Lorraine.
For a moment, the iron hooves rolled, as fast as thunder.
When the mages saw this, they also knew the importance of this battle. At that moment, Lester whistled and led them into the air. They covered Lorraine in the air and rushed directly towards the port.
Lorraine led a group of cavalry, and under the support and guidance of the mages in mid-air, they rushed through the city and rushed directly towards the port.
As Lorraine ran wildly, she saw the houses on both sides of the road passing by, but she felt extremely strange in her heart. The enemy's attack was too smooth.
If the city was prepared, why did they disperse in a hurry?
If they were planning to abandon their wives to trick hooligans and pretend to be defeated, so as to lure the enemy deeper and catch them all, it would be a reasonable explanation. But seeing that there are so many magicians and temples on their side
Knight, if he uses such tactics again, it is obvious that he is the product of incest marriage.
But if there was no preparation, why did we happen to encounter enemy troop movements on the road? And...
While he was thinking about it, he saw the front team turn along the street, and then his eyes widened. Unknowingly, they had passed through the city and arrived at the edge of the port.
Lorraine looked up and his heart suddenly sank. He sighed inwardly: It was just as he expected, these guys are really ruthless~!
I saw that the trestles on the port that penetrated deep into the deep water were all piled with firewood, grass and sulfur. As long as the fire was given and the fire was put in, a fire would immediately burst into the sky, completely destroying the entire port and burning it to a white ground.
But the strange thing is that there is not a single Almohad warrior guard in the entire port. It is empty without a single person in sight, just like an airport.
Lorraine felt awe-struck and did not dare to be careless. He immediately shouted an order and said: "Order, the magicians should be more vigilant and expand the warning range. If you see someone holding fire, shoot him on the spot."
Someone immediately agreed, then puffed up his cheeks and blew the horn.
After receiving the order, the magicians immediately rose into the sky, looking down at the earth like eagles. The colorful lights in their hands kept flashing, and they prepared various spells. As soon as there was any movement, they would immediately kill them.
Lorraine glanced up, and then ordered the knights to stay on guard. The rest of the people all dismounted and cleaned up the firewood. If you can push it into the sea, push it into the sea. If you can't push it into the sea, find a way to move it away.
If that doesn't work, just pour sea water on it.
While Lorraine was directing everyone, he cursed in his mind: Which bastard came up with this vicious plan? If this fire breaks out, the port will be completely scrapped. It will take at least a month or two.
It has been completely repaired. And the large troops who came by boat can only float on the sea for two months with nothing to do. By then, even if they are not sick, they will probably be shaking when walking.
And this is still a good thing. Once the enemy reinforcements arrive and consolidate the port, the army is so large and vows to hold high the flag of justice, and the army that conquers the empire can only turn around, tuck its tail between its legs and go back in despair.
By that time, it will be a big loss.
Thinking of this, Lorraine felt a little curious: 'Mobilize the army in time, intercept at the right time, pile up firewood, and if something happens, burn it with fire. What kind of person is he who can formulate such a vicious plan?'
He didn't know it at this time, but his opponent was actually the world-famous General Amor and Hadou~!
That series of defense plans were all drawn up by him himself.
In other words, to a certain extent, he has defeated the peerless general who made the entire Ruman Empire fearful and could only live under his terrifying shadow~!
However, this does not mean that the general's plan cannot work. But...
Just as there is a wise saying from ancient times: "If you are not afraid of good things, you are afraid of not being good people~"
It is true that the local commander is too bastard and cowardly. Even if Maple Leaf Danlin sends an ace spy like 007, he may not be able to achieve such an effect.
The general originally formulated this plan to prevent the Ruman Empire from invading one day in the future.
Like a prophet, he accurately foresees the occurrence of every event with the piercing eyes of a master of military art.
The feint of a large-scale fleet attracts attention. The elite troops move quietly. Choose a beach, abandon the boat and land ashore, rush all the way, and make a sudden surprise attack...
Therefore, a detailed plan was formulated for this series of actions. If executed properly, even if everyone in Lorraine cannot be wiped out, at least they can resist for a while, fight steadily, and hold off the enemy army until reinforcements arrive.
Outside the country.
However, there is no plan, but the entrustment is inhumane.
What's more, the past year, 831 in the Julian calendar, was not only a difficult year for the Ruman Empire, but also a disaster for Almohad.
At the beginning, the Ruman Empire's northern front was defeated, and the two legions were completely destroyed in the crusade against the Delenn barbarians. The news came. The Almohad Empire saw the enemy's misfortune, which was a great joy in life. Of course, it rejuvenated the country and rejoiced.
But then, the feng shui began to change.
After discovering that the threat from the Ruman Empire in the north had been lifted, His Majesty the Emperor immediately granted a large number of ministers. In order to please his lover, he first made a large number of appointments and made wishes, and brought them into the court.
Even though Queen Isabella tried her best to maintain it, due to the two Despies taking power, in order to expand their strength, they immediately accepted bribes and bought and sold officials.
It is not easy to establish an imperial regime, but it is very fast to destroy it. Soon, the court and the local area were filled with a large number of brothers-in-law and second-generation ancestors.
Although there have been many outstanding figures among the second generation ancestors, such as King Wu of Zhou, Li Shimin, Liu Che and Liu Xiaozhu, but more of them are like Yang Xiaoguang and Jia Baoyu.
A flower-like figure.
Among them, Lord Zoral III, the garrison commander of Hafs Port, is the most outstanding representative.
His ancestors were originally smugglers of salt.
It turns out that in order to defend their sacred and inviolable right to free trade and benefit the poor people, these private salt dealers are engaged in an epic and unremitting struggle with the tax collectors of the empire. It is normal for the white knife to go in and the red knife to come out. There are also
Three points of blood.
But by his generation, it was already the third generation.
"You cannot be rich for more than three generations" may refer to his kind.
With some money in the family, the bloodiness has faded by seven points. In addition, when my father once waved his saber and risked his life to have a friendly exchange with the tax collectors, he fell under a hidden arrow shot from behind.
.
After Sanshi took over, he withdrew from this highly profitable and highly competitive industry. He happened to have a large amount of funds in his hands, and when he saw the opportunity, he spent money to buy an official job.
After he came to power, he neither inspected the military parade nor repaired the defenses. He inherited and carried forward the business spirit of his ancestors. He just thought of ways to drink the blood of the soldiers and eat empty wages every day. Then he took advantage of his youth to do whatever he wanted.
, spent all that money in the eight alleys, and made a huge contribution to the prosperity of the empire's economy.
If the port of Hafs were to be large, the standing force should be 50,000, but under his careful management, it has shrunk by more than half. Even so, those Qiu Ba who serve as soldiers and eat food often only get half their pay. Moreover,
It was from three months ago.
If anyone dared to complain, the old man would just stare: "If you don't want to do this, get out! Three-legged toads are hard to find, but there are plenty of two-legged people!"
With him in charge of this place, he was able to eliminate the soldiers of the Almohad Empire, which was three times more powerful than the bloody-handed butchers of the feuding Ruman Empire and the prestigious Archduke Julius.
It is said that those who are good at fighting do not have great achievements, and that is nothing more than this.
Later, news was received that Maple Leaf Danlin was organizing an army to attack the empire. The Hafsport garrison followed the regulations formulated by General Hadou and launched a pre-plan.
When he raised his troops and took the oath, he was also full of ambition. He pricked his fingernails cruelly, and then drank a whole bottle of wine. Then he vowed to annihilate the evil Maple Castle invading army.
Although he believed that it was wrong to lead the army to the expedition, and it was impossible for the enemy to land elsewhere. However, under the persuasion of the officers, he still followed General Hadou's plan and mobilized the troops for the expedition.
When Master Zhuo Laer III set out with his army, he still felt good. It seemed that it was an easy task. He could do it with just a flip of his hand. Then he accomplished great achievements, which made him far more famous than General Hadou.
Maybe one day, when a high-achieving town leader is poisoned by the emperor's poisonous wine, he can follow the example of those loyal ministers in history and say loudly: "Your Majesty, you are cutting with your left hand."
Give me your right hand." (It's not that he doesn't want to play His Majesty the Emperor's management buyout, but that he still knows subconsciously how much he's eating.)
Just when he was riding on his horse, engaging in sexual immorality with infinite narcissism, news of encountering an enemy came from the front.
When the confrontation between the two armies began, Master Zhuo Laer III saw the murderous aura that filled the battle formation and already felt his bladder tightening.
And when Lorraine led the assault and the powerful spells released by the mages almost destroyed the cavalry regiment sent out in an instant, he had already peed his pants in fear.
Seeing the Templar Knights charging forward bravely and killing him, Zoral III suddenly discovered that he was an anti-war person who opposed war and called for peace. 'Life is so beautiful, the air is so fresh, but war is so painful.
Cruel, quite bad.'
At that moment, he turned the horse's head, even throwing down the legion's battle flag shamefully, and rushed back to Hafs City in a panic, beating the horse like flying.
After returning to the city, he didn't notify anyone or raise an alarm. He even didn't organize any resistance. He ran straight back home, packed up, took his beloved mistress and concubine, and fled in despair.
All the high-ranking officials in the city lived together. When they saw him escaping, the others were not fools. They immediately inquired and found out that they also had a roll of stuff, loaded it on a carriage, and fled after him.
When Lorraine appeared at the city gate, they had already fled fifty kilometers away.
When the soldiers saw that all the high-ranking officials had run away, coupled with the unrest in people's minds, rumors were flying all over the sky. At that moment, they became panicked, blew a whistle, and then took off their uniforms. They pretended to be deserters.
Therefore, everyone in Lorraine had an unimpeded journey straight to the port.
