Chapter 733: The Fall of Muhawitsi Fortress
The assault on the Muhawicz Fortress continued until dawn.
When the sun finally emerged from the mountains in the east and gave off thousands of rays of light, the Knights of Michael finally completed the complete occupation of the Muhawicz Fortress.
Willy and the knights held four flags and climbed up to the south wall of Muhawicz Fortress.
Together with the knights in the army, he wanted to plant the flag of their Britannia Empire on the southern wall of Muhawicz Fortress.
Willy and the knights planted the four flags one by one on the south wall of the Muhawicz Fortress.
These four flags are - the regimental flag of the Knights of Michael, the flag of the Britannia Empire, the flag of the Britannia Army, and the flag of the Britannia Empire Navy.
This fortress was captured by the Michael Knights of the Britannian Empire, so there is nothing wrong with planting the first three flags.
The reason why the flag of the Britannian Empire Navy was also planted was because the navy contributed a lot in this battle.
Without the navy's escort and the navy's annihilation of the enemy fleet in Bishui Port, the Michael Knights would not have been able to take down the Muhawicz Fortress.
Planting the navy's flag is to tell everyone that the Knights of Michael have not forgotten the help of the navy.
Let everyone know: the successful attack on Muhawicz Fortress was also due to the Navy.
Looking at the four flags fluttering in the wind, everyone present was excited.
"We...did it..."
Maybe it's because she's a woman. As the commander of the 4th Army, Dale is more emotional.
Looking at the four flags spread out and stretched in the morning breeze, Dale's eyes showed a hint of moisture, and his lips trembled slightly: "Everyone's efforts and sacrifices have not been in vain... The Knights of Michael Today...for the first time in history...the flag was planted on the Mukhavis Fortress."
"Well, yes..." Enli clenched his fists to prevent his body from shaking too much with excitement.
In order to capture the Muhawicz Fortress before the Hiran army in the Eghar Corridor returned for reinforcements, the Michael Knights launched an ultra-high-intensity long-distance attack after landing at the Clearwater Port.
The journey of more than 400 miles might have taken other troops 10 days.
The result of the Michael Knights is - 5 and a half days!
The Knights of Michael, who were mainly infantry, covered a distance of more than 400 miles in only five and a half days.
The average daily marching speed is more than 70 miles.
This speed of attack is definitely enough to go down in history.
It took 5 and a half days to attack not far from the Muhawicz Fortress, then another half day to rest, and finally launched the attack in the early morning of today.
There were almost no defenders in the Muhawicz Fortress, and the Hiran army in the Eghar Corridor did not have time to return for reinforcements.
Facing the attack of the Michael Knights army, there was no way to resist.
Not long after the battle began, the northwest gate of Mukhervitz Fortress was captured, and then the entire fortress was cleared when the sun rose.
At present, the aftermath work is being done on the Muhawicz Fortress.
Count the casualties, count the material reserves in Muhavic Fortress, count how many civilians and prisoners of the Holy Hiran Empire are left in Muhavic Fortress...
As originally expected, Muhawicz Fortress stores a large amount of supplies. If you open any warehouse, there will be an astonishing amount of stock inside.
Perhaps because their attack yesterday was so sudden, the defenders in the fortress forgot to destroy these supplies, and now they have been given to the Michael Knights in vain.
They no longer need to worry about supplies, and now it is no problem to have food for every meal.
Willy stood on the southern wall of Muhawicz Fortress with a high-spirited look, looking at the Eghar Corridor in the south and murmuring:
"The supply of the 300,000 Xilan Army has been cut off. The next thing to do is to slowly drag the 300,000 Xilan Army into the corridor and collapse due to the lack of supplies..."
…
…
——Did the Muhawicz Fortress actually be captured...
Camille, who was hiding in the crowd, silently looked at the cavalry of the Michael Knights who were walking in the middle of a certain avenue of the fortress, showing off their power.
Unlike the ordinary civilians around him whose eyes were full of fear, Camille looked at the cavalry of the Michael Knights walking in the middle of the avenue with neither sadness nor joy.
Camille recognized the flag carried by these Britannian soldiers—it was the regimental flag of the Knights of Michael.
The fact that the Michael Knights captured the Mhavitz Fortress did not seem to make Kamil panic.
Kamil has been very calm since he learned about the attack on the Muhawicz Fortress in his room early this morning.
Momo took out her money bag, put on a pair of ordinary clothes, and then quickly escaped from her room and hid in a secluded place in the fortress.
When it got light and the noise outside was no longer so noisy, Camille slipped out to take a look at the situation.
When Camille came out to see the situation, she did not forget to grab a handful of dirt and make her face and white hair dirty.
Camille has never cared much about her appearance, and has never paid much attention to her own grooming and maintenance.
But even if she never cares about or maintains it, Camille still has a nice face.
Gabriel once commented on Camille: Apart from being too short in height and having a figure too boyish, Camille, you are still very feminine.
The attackers captured the city and wantonly ravaged the innocent civilians in the city - this was a very common scene in this era.
Massacre was a common method used by the army to boost morale and deter the enemy.
Camille didn't know how the Knights of Michael would treat the innocent people in the fortress, so to be on the safe side, Camille took the lead in smearing mud on her face and her white hair, making her look dirty and less noticeable.
Camille quietly hid in the crowd, observing these Knights of Michael who were showing off their power on the street.
——How did the Knights of Michael capture the Muhavitz Fortress...
——Could it be that the front-line army in the Aighar Corridor was defeated...
——No, it's impossible.
——If the front-line army in the Aighar Corridor was defeated, it would be impossible for the Muhavitz Fortress not to receive the news.
——Then the only possibility is that the Knights of Michael attacked from the rear of the Muhavitz Fortress.
——But how did they do this...
——Did they cross the Aighar Mountains?
——No way, the Aighar Mountains are so steep, it's impossible for so many troops to cross them.
——Forget it, don't think too much about it.
——It doesn't matter how the Knights of Michael got here.
——It doesn't matter whether His Majesty Vasili escaped successfully or not. It would be a good thing if His Majesty Vasili died. It would be a great misfortune for us Hiran people to let this guy continue to rule the Holy Hiran Empire.
——The most important thing now is that the supply of the 300,000 troops on the front line has been cut off...
——Not good... Really not good...
——If the Muhavitz Fortress is not recaptured quickly, the 300,000 troops will be wiped out in the Aighar Corridor...
——It's too late to transfer troops from the rear to help. By the time the rear has assembled enough troops to recapture the Muhavitz Fortress, the troops in the corridor have all starved to death.
——We can only hope that the army in the corridor can recapture the Muhavitz Fortress before the supplies run out.
——Teacher...Gabriel...El...
Camille chanted the names of these three people in his heart.
At the same time, he silently clenched his fists.
Pray for these three people.
Pray for the safety of these three people.
