He was waiting for the soldiers to change the defense, and he was very tired after standing all night.
Finally, he looked back at the city many times and finally saw a group of soldiers slowly walking towards the city gate. It was the Eden City defenders who replaced them.
The Alton Empire, which has been at peace all year round, except for a limited number of troops that maintain high-intensity training, the rest of the local garrison and noble private soldiers have neglected military affairs.
We can't blame them. After all, in the Alton Empire, no one is willing to serve as a soldier as long as they are not the kind of people who can't survive. It is a popular saying in Alton that good men should not be soldiers. Because the developed people
The business environment gave rise to the embryonic state of capitalism, and the Senate was also a national product of this stage.
When Zhou Yunfei was studying the situation on the mainland, he was very concerned about the Alton Empire.
As a modern person, Zhou Yunfei clearly knew that the Alton Empire was in the process of transforming from feudalism to capitalism. However, due to the special external environment of the Ross Continent and not only human society, this process has been proceeding slowly.
In the Alton Empire, business has been prosperous for a long time. People can earn a certain amount of wages by working in shops or participating in labor, so as long as they can survive a little, no one is willing to risk their life and death to become a business owner.
soldiers.
This also explains in disguise the reason why the Alton Empire evacuated its military affairs.
As a well-known force in the northwest of the Alton Empire, the Eden family has been based on business for generations.
After being attacked by the Dragon City caravan, the Eden family made several proposals to attack the Dragon City caravan in Senate meetings. However, due to the interference of many opposition forces, these proposals were repeatedly shelved. The first assassination of Zhou Yunfei was
The plan was planned privately by the Eden family and the Barrow family. However, they acted under the banner of the Senate, which made many other members of the Senate quite dissatisfied. However, instead of shrinking, Dragon City did not shrink.
Further expanding the business scope in the Alton Empire, the Senate approved the plan to attack Dragon City for the first time, which led to the previous series of assassination plans and actions.
The destruction of the Barrow family once caused the members of the Eden family to panic all day long. However, after waiting for half a month without any movement, and the Senate and the Byvost Empire reached an agreement, the conflict was "perfectly" resolved after paying the price.
, and also made the people of the Eden family feel relieved.
But little did they know that the Second Army led by Zhao Yun had already arrived at Eden City!
When the soldier at the top of the city saw the soldiers arriving for the change of defense, he ignored the cumbersome verification procedures and walked directly down the city wall to leave.
The soldiers who were handed over were also accustomed to letting the replaced soldiers leave. They had long been accustomed to these steps that they had to go through every day. In this war-free Eden City, even the bandits and thieves in the north did not dare to come to the "heavily guarded" place.
Eden City. So, these tedious procedures have become boring processes.
Yawning and rubbing their sore eyes, the soldiers prepared to leave the city and return to their warm beds for a good sleep.
Just before this alternation process was over, a hundred tiger and leopard riders who had already been ambushing near the city gate rushed towards the empty city gate.
Seeing the tiger and leopard cavalry charging towards them, the soldiers who were preparing to switch defenses all froze on the spot, completely confused about the situation, and lacking good training and measures, which resulted in them being caught off guard.
Facing more than 300 Eden city defenders, the dismounted tiger and leopard cavalry formed a sharp knife formation in groups of three, waving their sharp swords and hacking to death the dazed Eden soldiers.
After losing dozens of soldiers, a leading officer reacted and shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
At his shouts, the confused Eden defenders began to resist in confusion.
But what they faced was the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry! They were the elite among the elite in Dragon City! Their skillful tactics, sophisticated equipment, and inner anger all caused the Iden defenders to retreat steadily. Their completely overwhelming strength made the Eden defenders retreat.
The battle at the city gate ended in a short time.
Not a single tiger or leopard rider was killed, only a dozen injured soldiers, and their good tactical skills and excellent protection allowed them all to suffer only minor injuries!
The gap, this is the gap between the two parties.
After taking control of the crucial city gate, the intelligence personnel in the city released the fireworks they brought with them into the air.
The 20,000 cavalrymen of the Second Army waiting outside Eden City are paying attention to the direction of Eden City.
Zhao Yun held the horse's rein tightly. Suddenly, a bright red track appeared in the sky above Eden City, and then there was a "bang" in the air, and a beautiful firework bloomed.
Zhao Yun took a deep breath, and then shouted loudly to the soldiers of the Second Army: "Let's go!"
The team quickly divided into two parts. The first team was led by Dian Wei and had as many as 10,000 people. It was responsible for rushing into the city, quickly occupying various key defensive positions, and wiping out all resistance forces in the city.
The second team is led by Ma Chao. He will be responsible for commanding the remaining 10,000 cavalry, scattered on the four city gates and numerous trade routes, to intercept and kill all those who run out of Eden City!
No matter Dian Wei or Ma Chao, the orders they received were to kill without mercy!
In other words, this revenge operation will be full of blood along the way! However, for the Second Army, this is not enough! Far from enough!
The first team led by Dian Wei, after receiving the order, quickly formed a marching team and accelerated towards the city gate.
The advance team who took control of the city gate were waiting boredly. Eden City's lagging and evacuated city defenses allowed them to open the city gate leisurely, and there was no big reaction even from the city.
This cannot be blamed on the defenders of Eden City. They had already received the news of the enemy attack. However, in their panic, they did not see the generals and left them alone.
The lord of Eden City and the younger brother of the head of the Eden family, Jareth Eden, was angrily scolding the general in front of him.
"Asshole! Who is it? Who dares to provoke the Eden family! Where is your army? Why haven't you pushed back the enemy?" The scolded general said bitterly that he had been neglecting defense all year round, and the defenders of Eden City only had more than 3,000 troops.
, and most of them are untrained soldiers. How do you expect them to repel the enemy? Is this possible?
Not to mention that he doesn't know where the opponent is now, just gathering the troops in the city and the private soldiers of the noble merchants will take half a day! Now that the entire Eden City is in chaos, what can he do to resist?
While the two of them were talking, Dian Wei's troops had already entered the city through the opened city gate!
According to advance preparations, the intelligence personnel immediately contacted Dian Wei.
The city defense stronghold of Eden City, the location of the main noble merchants, the location of the city lord's palace and its garrison strength were all obtained by intelligence personnel.
This great gift made the Second Army feel like a treasure. It was quickly divided into many small groups, and 10,000 Second Army soldiers started running on the spacious roads in the city.
Many people looked blankly at the Second Army galloping down the street. These strange knights with black hair and black eyes were all murderous. Although they could not understand the situation, the people subconsciously thought that something bad was going on. Almost everyone
They all hid in their homes, fearing to cause trouble. When more merchants and nobles saw the black "汉" character on the dragon flag held high by the knights, their faces turned pale, and they quickly packed up their belongings and prepared to flee Eden City.
"They are the Dragon City army! They are here for revenge!" Such thoughts filled the minds of every noble businessman who saw the Dragon Flag.
Dian Wei led five hundred cavalry and rushed straight to the city lord's palace!
The city lord's palace has more than 700 private soldiers of the Eden family. These private soldiers are elites that the Eden family spent a lot of money to build!
After receiving the news that the enemy had entered the city, Jareth Eden hurried to the gate of the city lord's palace to command his troops, cursing the second army. Until now, he still believed that these were just some bandits or thieves who had eaten bear bile.
He wanted to come to Eden City to make a fortune. But when he saw the second army rushing towards the streets in the distance, and the bright red dragon flag flying in front of the army, his whole body seemed to be drained of energy in an instant.
"Dragon...Dragon...Dragon City!" The trembling words made Jareth Eden's face turn pale and he broke into a cold sweat when he saw the dragon flag!
He never expected that the Dragon City army was coming! Aren't they afraid of provoking a war between the two countries! How dare these madmen go deep into the empire! Aren't they afraid of death? These thoughts flashed through Jareth's mind instantly.
Don't rush to think about the answers to these questions. The only way to survive now is to defeat the enemy!
Jareth Eden had high hopes for Eden's elite soldiers, each armed with a sword and a shield, arranged in several formations, ready to resist the charge of the second army.
When the two parties were about 200 meters apart, Dian Wei let out a loud roar first, and then the tiger and leopard riders behind him adjusted their ranks.
Most of the cavalry charging in the city were arranged in a wedge formation, so Dian Wei was the first to be at the forefront!
One hundred meters!
The tiger and leopard riders began to accelerate in unison.
In just three breaths, the charging speed increased to the highest level!
Jareth Eden looked at the charging cavalry tremblingly. The soldiers who saw the charging momentum of the cavalry for the first time were all frightened! Some even dropped their weapons and turned around to run away! These have never been on the battlefield.
Many of the new recruits on the battlefield were so frightened by the pressure brought by the cavalry charge that they peed their pants!
This is no joke, few people can face the charging cavalry calmly.
After a short distance, Dian Wei put down the reins of his horse and tightened his legs on the horse beneath him. He pulled out the two halberds from his back with both hands, and his bloodthirsty face made Dian Wei look like an evil ghost in hell.
"Kill!" Dian Wei's roar resonated with the second army behind him who was at peak speed.
In an instant, "Kill!" resounded throughout the sky, and the battle began in the fury of revenge!
