Chapter 846: The Fall of Chubol Fortress (Part 2)

Remember in one second【】

The horn sounded and the momentum was like a rainbow.

The cheers and shouts are deafening.

The boots on the ground were like thunder.

The enemy screamed and moaned.

——An overview of the "Aurora" offensive in later history books

Lowering the drawbridge on the southern wall and waving 15 torches on the southern wall - this was the signal they had agreed with Adair.

The meaning of this signal is that the Britannia army can safely enter Chupol Fortress.

So after learning from the messenger that the suspension bridge on the south wall had been lowered and that 15 torches were still waving on the south wall, Su Cheng quickly put down the Tekun cards in his hand and walked out of the tent quickly.

After seeing that the hanging door on the south wall of Chubol Fortress was really lowered and there were really 15 torches waving and shaking on the south wall, Su Cheng could no longer hold back the joy on his face.

But Su Cheng did not relax his vigilance and did not move the army in recklessly.

After all, no one is sure whether Adair is playing tricks on them.

To be on the safe side, Su Cheng first sent an advance force into the city.

After investigating and finding out that the city is really safe, we can send the large forces in.

…

…

Adair is now standing on the south wall of Chubol Fortress with an indifferent expression, watching with calm eyes the black torrent that is constantly approaching the south city gate.

Adair could still remain calm, but the generals around him could no longer remain calm.

"Ai, Acheson, wait a minute!"

The young officer who questioned Adair just now happened to be standing next to Adair at this time.

After seeing the cavalry of the Britannia Army approaching Chupol Fortress, the young officer hurriedly said to Adair:

"Acheson, wait a minute! The cavalry of the Britannia Army is coming soon! Let's quickly pull up the hanging door!"

"You're so annoying.

"

Adair glanced at the junior officer.

"Didn't I just say everything? These are all tactics."

"Tactics? I have never seen such a ridiculous tactic! Just lower the hanging door and let the enemy march into the city. Is there such a tactic?"

"This only shows that you are short-sighted."

After saying that, Adair ignored the young officer and walked towards the city with his hands folded.

The young officer looked at Adair, and then at the black torrent outside the city that was rapidly approaching here.

He had no choice but to be anxious.

…

…

Su Cheng sent 3,000 cavalry into the city to test.

The 3,000 cavalry passed through the south gate in a swaggering manner. After discovering that the city was safe and that Adair had not cheated them, the 3,000 cavalry quickly took control of the south gate of Chupol Fortress.

Controlling the southern gate of Chupol Fortress, the 3,000 cavalry were divided into two parts.

Some stayed at the south city gate to send messages to the large forces outside the city, informing them of the safety of Chupol Fortress and waiting for the arrival of the large forces.

The other part went to capture the remaining gates of Chupol Fortress.

It was not until these 3,000 cavalry took control of the south gate of Chupol Fortress and attacked the other gates that the defenders of Chupol Fortress finally realized what they were doing.

As the horn sounded and the sound of fighting was loud, the defenders in the fortress immediately hurriedly put on their helmets and armor and attacked to meet the enemy.

Soon the whole city was lit up with torches, people were coming and going in the streets and alleys, and the sound of footsteps shook the heaven and earth.

But because all the generals and generals in the city have been wiped out, the defenders in the fortress are now like headless flies. Some are going south, some are going north, and they are running around in the city without knowing where to go. Know.

To put it bluntly, the fortress defenders who now lost their command were just a bunch of rabble.

There is no need for large troops outside the city to enter the city to help in the battle. The 3,000 cavalry who entered the city first can defeat the ragtag fortress defenders.

After the cavalry charged inside the Chupol Fortress, they arrived at the east gate of the Chupol Fortress.

After lowering the hanging door of the east gate and leaving some troops to guard the east gate, the remaining cavalry turned their horses again and charged towards the northeast gate of Chupol Fortress.

Since all the generals have been wiped out, only some petty officers can now command the soldiers to defend themselves against the enemy.

Under the leadership of small officers, there were small groups of troops along the way to intercept the cavalry team that was rushing around the city of Chupol Fortress.

However, due to uncoordinated command, their strength was simply unleashed, and there was no way to stop the cavalry.

The cavalry team slashed and killed, and the Xilan army who came to intercept them immediately dispersed.

This cavalry was invincible, and the bodies of defeated Hiran generals were everywhere.

Until now, most people still don't know how many soldiers of the Britannia Army rushed into the fortress, and they don't know how these soldiers of the Britannia Army entered the fortress.

After the cavalry attacked the northeast gate of Chupol Fortress, large troops outside the city also arrived one after another.

All the generals were wiped out, and the generals and generals could not be found in the Chupol Fortress. The fortress became a mess, and everyone was fighting without a clue, and the original strength advantage could not be used at all.

The current state of the Chupol Fortress cannot even handle the 3,000 cavalry.

^0^ Remember in one second【】

No, let alone blocking the large forces of the Britannia Army that have been entering the city one after another.

…

…

After the arrival of the large troops, the resistance in the Chubol Fortress was gradually suppressed.

It took only more than 2 hours from the entry of the advance force of 3,000 cavalrymen into the city to the elimination of all resistance in the Chubol Fortress.

All the generals in the fortress were poisoned, more than 20,000 of the 70,000 defenders were killed, and the remaining 50,000 all put down their weapons and surrendered.

A considerable number of the more than 20,000 people who died were killed by their own people.

In this era when communications were not well developed, the army was most afraid of chaos.

Once there was chaos, trampling was very likely to occur.

The destructive power of trampling was no less than that of a wall charge of a heavy cavalry team.

In the streets and alleys of the Chubol Fortress, there were pools of meat patties everywhere.

Lacking unified dispatch and command, the resistance of the defenders in the fortress was extremely chaotic, and most people didn't even know where to go.

In this chaotic environment, at least 10,000 people were trampled to death by their comrades.

After the Chubol Fortress was completely cleared, Su Cheng rode his horse and led his guards leisurely into the Chubol Fortress, which the Holy Xilan Empire had spent a lot of effort to build.

The troops were dispatched on April 15, and on the night of April 19, they captured the Chubol Fortress, a major town that cost the Holy Xilan Empire a lot of effort, at a very low cost, and wiped out all the 70,000 defenders in the fortress.

Including the marching time, it took only 4 days to capture a fortress, and also wiped out all the 70,000 defenders in the fortress, and successfully took all the supplies in the fortress - this speed is definitely enough to be recorded in history and admired by future generations.

The start of this "Aurora" offensive is perfect.

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
