------------------
In the northeast of the Holy Empire, there is a huge fortress, which is located between the upper reaches of the Midok River and the Kato Mountains, which is the most important defensive support in the northeast of the Holy Empire.
This towering fortress has now become a stumbling block to the northern attack of the whole Yongye Empire. Under the leadership of General Xia Changkong, the Rosefinch Army crossed the Midok River, captured the northern town of Baote City, and began to outage the Thor Fortress in the southwest. The White Tiger Army moved from the north of the Kato Mountains to the Rosefinch Army. Yongye The end of the empire's huge northern offensive was to take the Thor Fortress and then defend against the Holy Empire's counterattack on the spot, so the Thor Fortress was the top priority of this northern battle.
The Yongye Empire is fully prepared for this northern battle. The first-line attack force of the Suzaku Army is 490,000, including 70,000 cavalry, which is Xia Changkong's pro-military, and the Red Flame Iron Horse, which is the most brave and good at fighting in the Zhuque Army; the mage army is more than 20,000, and the rest are infantry. In order to attack the Thor Fortress, many troops are equipped with large siege weapons and carry a large number of magic scrolls, which can be said to be very well prepared. The price paid for this is that the whole army moved very slowly. The whole army crossed the Mildock River three days later than expected, and it took more than 2 days to capture the city of Baote, so that the rosefinch army, which was originally planned to arrive at the Thor Fortress earlier, entered the bottom of the Thor Fortress almost at the same time as the White Tiger Army.
As a reinforcement force, 370,000 people of the White Tiger Army, in the year of the creation of the gods, on the morning of November 17, 1574 of the Holy Empire rushed to the city of Thor Fortress in the morning of 1574, meeting with the belated rosefinch army and completely completed the siege of the Thor fortress. The eldest prince Ye Shengwu handed over the command of more than 300,000 people of the White Tiger Army to Xia Changkong. The 60,000 Snow Moon warriors of the White Tiger Army are still under the jurisdiction of Ye Shengwu. This elite infantry, which is claimed to be able to shake the cavalry, is the direct trump card of the eldest prince Ye Shengwu. All of them are carefully selected strong men with heavy armor, long guns and iron shields, and equipped with a large number of magic scrolls and magicians. They are extremely brave. In front of the array of long guns and armor, many troops withdrew in dismay without even confrontation, and were extremely confident in the power of their long guns, and even made them not even equipped with bows and arrows.
The Holy Empire is not waiting to be killed. Thor Fortress was built by the Holy Empire to defend against the Eternal Night Empire. The most brave Night Tiger Emperor of the Eternal Night Empire was completed during his reign. It took more than 300 years and was reinforced and repaired 16 times. It is the defense hub of the Holy Empire in the northern part of the Eternal Night Empire and also the Holy Emperor. The first fortress in the north of the country, the thickness of the city wall, the number and quality of magic arrays can be described as horror. The 33 defeats of the Yongye Empire can be seen that the Thor Fortress is strong.
In order to ensure that the Thor Fortress is foolproof, the Holy Empire has reduced all the surrounding forces here. The city's troops include a total of 5 regiments of cavalry, more than 100,000. The 10 meters wide and 3 meters deep trench is full of iron trembus, with an average of more than 25 meters high, a complete magic array defense system, enough food reserves for 300,000 people to eat for a year, a huge arsenal of more than 200,000 weapons, and 500,000 bows and arrows piled up like mountains, known as the third strongest fortress in the world. The 100,000 troops in the city have brought a sufficient sense of security.
Under the leadership of General Baoken, the first legion, the third legion and other main forces of the sacred empire mobilized on the road of unity. More than 600,000 troops of the Holy Empire have crossed the Meilan River, and their purpose is also Thor Fortress. Of course, they Under the Thor Fortress, cooperate with the defenders and defeat the invading army of the Eternal Night Empire.
In the Supreme Command of the northern battlefield of the Yongye Empire, General Xia Changkong, the younger brother of Prince Xia Wu, sat on the main seat, and the eldest prince Ye Shengwu sat next to him. The two were discussing the specific strategy of attacking the Thor Fortress with a group of generals.
"Two adults, our army has just advanced to the city of Thor Fortress and needs to be repaired for a day. It is best to start the attack tomorrow. Since the beginning of the war, our army has been repeatedly blocked by the enemy and fought more than 100 battles. It has just attacked Baote City and needs to rest." A rosefinch general said to Xia Changkong.
"Your Highness, you have also seen that after a series of battles, our troops are very tired. The Rosefinch Army has just besieged and annihilated 50,000 defenders in Baote City, and they are short of people!" Xia Changkong also said helplessly.
"I understand the situation of the Rosefinch Army very well, but now I am competing with the Holy Empire Army. I will immediately lead the White Tiger Army to attack the city. How about the whole army of the Rosefinch Army repairing overnight and participating in the attack tomorrow?" Ye Shengwu was dressed in gold armor, and his handsome face was full of pride. He stood up with the hilt of his sword and continued, "General give me an order. I will lead 50,000 troops to explore the truth for the general."
"Then there will be the eldest prince, General Shang Zhiyong. Your department is under the command of General Shengwu. An hour later, the White Tiger Army took the lead in attacking the city." Hearing that he did not need to touch his direct rosefinch army, Xia Changkong naturally agreed, and he also thought about letting a unit explore the reality of the defenders before making plans.
"I want to use 40 siege ladders and 30 large crossbow guns prepared by the Rosefinch Army, and I also need the Rosefinch Army to support my 100 drummers and 50 military drums." Ye Shengwu took a look at Xia Changkong and said.
"Of course, there is no problem. Just take it casually." Xia Changkong smiled and immediately agreed. He said casually: "Prepare 50 siege ladders, 50 large crossbow guns, 100 drummers and 50 military drums for the eldest prince General Shengwu. An hour later, the general can launch an attack.
Ye Shengwu hugged his fist and turned out of the camp. Xia Changkong looked at his confidant full of tent and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he said leisurely, "After all, he is still young. I thought that if there were more drums to improve morale, he could climb to the top of the city to win the first hand. If the Thor Fortress was so vulnerable, my Eternal Night Empire would not have waited until today. Come and attack, hehe." After saying that, he twisted his beard with his hand and ordered loudly, "The whole army rest and wait for our eldest prince to return triumphantly."
"My subordinates are obeding." After saying that, a group of generals also got up and walked out of the camp.
On the way to the siege force, a cronin came forward and whispered, "It's really hateful for Xia Changkong to shamelessly preserve the strength of his army at such an important time. Why didn't Your Highness sue him?"
"He is just a pawn arranged by his father to counterbalance the godless moon in the army. He is stubborn and has no ability, huh!" Ye Shengwu said coldly with the reins, "Look at his incompetent appearance today. How can I have the ability of my second brother Shengwen? If it hadn't been for the same bad health as his father, the Holy Empire would not have been arrogant until now? Today, I will let the Holy Empire show me my ability, and in the future, millions of troops will also be deterrent to me.
"Give my order, the borrowed war drums and drummers, now knock me down to the city until our army attacks. As a suspect, I want the defenders of the sacred empire in the Thor Fortress, even if they fall asleep, have to give me ears!"
"My subordinates are obeding." The cronies turned the horse's head and ran to the back team.
The sound of drums has lasted for more than 40 minutes, and the defenders of the Holy Empire, who are very energetic and ready for defense, just look at the troops of the Eternal Night Empire without any movement. Anyway, the drum is still beating repeatedly.
With the long wait and a different horn, the first attack of the Eternal Night Empire on Thor Fortress began. At 13:15 p.m. on November 17, 1574, the Eternal Night Empire and the Thor Fortress of the Holy Empire began a tragic battle. It kicked off.
