Eight days ago, on April 24, 1127 in the continental calendar, a total of more than 16,000 troops of the Holy Roman Empire surrounded the capital of the Kingdom of Burgundy, Brad Tuan. This is an isolated city, looking at the entire Burgundy. In the Kingdom of Dia, only this city has the power to resist the invaders.

Leading the army to encircle the city are the units of the 2nd and 3rd Brigades of the Holy Roman Empire’s Second Army. Their commanders are Gilad Pulis and Richard Bono. They use their superior forces to The four walls of Brad City were surrounded by groups. Based on the principle of waste utilization, they drove the surrendered Burgundian army to the front line and acted as cannon fodder. It is said to be cannon fodder, but it is not always true, because they do not need to bear it. The enemy's firepower net rushed to the bottom of the city wall to set up siege equipment.

Their task is very simple. After the city wall is bombarded by artillery, they raise their shields in front to attract firepower for the offensive line infantry. As long as the cannon fodder is careful, they can survive this war, and they understand this. For one thing, they did not develop resistance—even if they did, it would have no effect, because the two brigade commanders would not consider the ideas of these prisoners of war.

On the second day of the siege, 80 long-barreled guns from the two brigades began to bombard the city wall. A large number of artillery shells fell heavily on the surface of the city wall, smashing deep craters one after another, and cracks appeared around the crater. There was a painful groan, and the soldiers above fell into panic.

They have never seen such a weapon. The movement at launch is as shocking as thunder in the day. The projectiles fired are more destructive than the catapult. Anything hit by a high-speed iron ball will be smashed to pieces, even if it is just A large piece of flesh and blood will be taken away if you rub it slightly.

The shelling lasted for three days. The continuous shelling for three days caused the city's walls to collapse in many places, and most of the buildings in the city were also affected and left in ruins. A large number of soldiers and civilians died under the shelling, and the survivors fled into the safer sewer with fear of the enemy. Although there was a smelly place, the shells could not penetrate the surface and hit the bottom.

On the fourth day of the siege, the Holy Roman Empire began to attack the city. A large number of former Burgundian soldiers raised their shields to provide long-range defense for the line infantry behind them. The walls or arrow towers of military activities fired. The offensive lasted less than an hour, and the army invaded the city, advancing toward the palace along most of the ruined city streets.

Although the Burgundian defenders have the buff to defend their home and country, under the attack of gunpowder weapons, they did not have the slightest strength to fight back. Three hours after the start of the siege, the Holy Roman Empire’s army surrounded the palace from all directions. During the offensive, they found civilians hiding in the sewers. Because of strict military regulations, they just took these The civilians drove out of the sewers and placed them outside the city to prevent accidents.

The most difficult part of Brad's siege was the attack on the palace. The defenders knew they had nowhere to go, so under the leadership of King Glass Moses, they resisted stubbornly. The nobles who hid in the palace also took up arms. , Into the fight. The line infantry can only rely on the building outside the palace to shoot at the defenders on the palace wall. They cannot break through the palace gate until the artillery is transported here.

After the artillery was finally transported to the front line, the deadlock was broken. With a deafening roar, the wooden gate of the palace was blasted into a big hole and it was crumbling. After two more shots, the gate fell, and a large number of line infantrymen fell. He rushed out of the bunker amidst the loud horns and attacked the wide open palace gate. During the assault, soldiers were shot to the ground by arrows from the sky, but they were fearless and rushed all the way to the palace gate.

Behind the gate of the palace, a large number of Burgundian soldiers set up a tight shield and stood in battle. The line infantry who charged were forced to stop and list three rows at the fastest speed. The first row of soldiers squatted down quickly, and The second row of comrades pulled the trigger together, and the gunpowder burned out immediately, covering the line of infantry. When the gunpowder dissipated, the Burgundian soldiers behind the palace gate had fallen down, and the remaining people were also shot. The shocking power is shocking, and the heart is throbbing.

After a few rounds of volleys, the Burgundian soldiers behind the palace gate suffered heavy casualties. They retreated one after another, and the line infantry marched in. They shouted loudly, with an unstoppable momentum. However, just as they rushed into the palace gate, a large number of arrows flew in the air from all directions, shooting the soldiers in front of them into hedgehogs. The death of the comrades in front scared the soldiers behind. Before they even reacted, another round of arrows fell from the sky, forcing them to retreat.

Seeing that the frontal offensive was frustrated, Gilard Pulis, who had personally commanded the front line, ordered a concentrated artillery bombardment of the palace wall, which soon collapsed, and then he personally led the guard to rush inward along the gap in the palace wall, and the leader took the lead. , The soldiers were encouraged and roared and charged, and artillery shelled to cover the friendly forces at this time. The sound of artillery and musket firing gathered in the sky above Brad City, forming a shocking symphony of war~www.mtlnovel .com~ Under the charge of Gillard's pioneers, the Holy Roman Empire defeated the Burgundian soldiers who were still resisting, and finally surrounded King Grasse Moses and a group of loyal nobles in the palace. Gillard's persuasion to surrender, His Majesty the King and his nobles were unmoved, and finally fell to the ground after being shot several times under the volley of firearms.

The fall of King Glass Moses and the fall of Brad City plunged the entire Burgundian kingdom into chaos. After the news came out, a large number of nobles surrendered to the Holy Roman Empire, and some nobles supported the royal family with royal blood. The members are crowned as new kings and continue to fight the invaders who captured Brad.

The fate of those rebelling against the nobles is obvious. Under the strong attack of the Holy Roman Empire army, in just half a month, except for some land that was taken by neighbors to send troops to swallow up, almost all the territory of the Kingdom of Burgundia was Capture.

The collapse of the Burgundian Kingdom made the situation of the sacred Kuyawi Empire, which was already at a disadvantage, even more unfavorable, and it had to draw two from the six legions of the north and south to garrison the area at the border with the Burgundian Kingdom. In addition, after learning of the bad news, Her Majesty the Queen issued a conscription order and asked the nobles everywhere to provide more soldiers again. She knew in her heart that the cost of peace talks will be very high when the war is underway, so She will not easily agree to a peace talk.
