"Speed ​​up! Begowo city is ahead!"

On the earthy road to Begowo city, the huge indigenous coalition forces marched northward and headed towards Begowo city. The governor Ajit and the chiefs all rode on war horses to prevent sandstorms. Everyone wore a white windshield on their heads. If Richard were here, he would have exclaimed how many Arabs would be here.

Since their army retreated from the battlefield of Bocantu, they have gone all the way south and returned to the gathering places of various tribes to replenish new soldiers and war elephants. After a few days of repairing, Governor Ajit believed that the Holy Roman Empire army would definitely not continue to rest. Staying in the Bocantu Wilderness, he would wait for an opportunity to attack Begovo, so he urged the coalition forces to go north and stationed in the city before the enemy succeeded.

However, they did not know that the expeditionary army had captured Begovo and persuaded all the strongholds in the territory to surrender. Thanks to Trond, who immediately blocked the news after the mission was successful, and shot those who intended to go out of the city to report the news, they avoided Aggie. I heard the news of the fall of the city in advance.

After learning that Ajit was going to lead the army back to Begovo, although Trond had intentions to defend against the city wall, he noticed the collapsed sections of the city wall. Indigenous coalition forces would surely rush in from the gap in the city wall. It is not a particularly good way to line up to meet the enemy outside the city. The indigenous coalition forces came back this time with a hard-skinned war elephant. It is better not to face the enemy head-on until they are not sure enough to deal with the war elephant.

After talking with several generals, Trond was inspired. He was prepared to take advantage of the fact that the indigenous coalition forces did not know the news of the fall of Begovo to teach them a profound lesson.

...

Two days later.

Outside the city of Begovo, Ajit, who was riding on a war horse, looked at the bombed wall with multiple collapses. His face was full of dignity, and the faces of the indigenous chiefs beside him were not. How good they look, they looked at the gaps in the city walls, and their hearts were full of shock. If the weapons that could blast the fortified city walls were used on their soldiers, they would surely cause heavy casualties.

Ajit looked at the city, and it took him a long time to notice that the blue-bottomed wolf-headed flag belonging to the Ansmara Republic was still flying on the wall. This made him feel relieved, but a trace of doubt rose. All have suffered such a bad hand, why hasn't the city fallen into the hands of the enemy?

He was puzzled, but the city gate of Begovo suddenly opened, and a team of cavalry rushed from inside. The cavalry team quickly came to the coalition forces, and the leader was the garrison officer of Begovo. The garrison had a normal look. He saluted Ajit from a few meters away, and said loudly, "Your Excellency, welcome you and your army back!"

Ajit didn't want to be polite with him, and asked straightforwardly: "Guardian Bermank, the army of the Holy Roman Empire has once surrounded the city of Begovo?"

"Yes, Master Governor." The garrison officer named Bermank agreed. He pointed his finger at the city wall behind him and said: "The Holy Roman Empire army attacked the city of Begovo two days ago. They used a kind of slave An unseen weapon capable of firing lightning blasted down the city wall and killed many civilians and soldiers. However, under the brave and tenacious resistance of our army, the enemy's attempt failed and was forced to evacuate."

"Evacuate?" A strange emotion flashed in Ajit's eyes, and he asked: "When did they evacuated, and in which direction?"

"Your Excellency, they started to retreat yesterday afternoon, they retreated to the east." Bermank defender replied unhurriedly and calmly.

"It seems that I got the news that our army is coming and retreated ahead of time." Aji nodded his head clearly, and his doubts were immediately released.

Bermank is a member of a prominent family from homeland and is unlikely to surrender to the Holy Roman Empire, so he didn't think in that direction.

He didn't know that it was his carelessness that caused the entire army to go to the abyss of hell.

...

"Enter the city!"

Riding a war horse and stepping into the wide-open city gate, Ajit looked at the city and streets he was familiar with, but he felt a sense of peace of mind when he was going home, but he felt a slight strangeness in his heart. It was obvious that the surroundings were so familiar. But he still felt something was missing.

what is it then?

Around Ajit are the indigenous chiefs who have passed through Begovo in the future. While looking at the surrounding buildings, they made curious sounds. However, some of the chiefs suddenly discovered something, one of them I touched the person next to me and asked, "Have you found anything wrong? Why didn't you see a civilian on the street in such a big city?"

His voice was not loud, but his words were passed into Ajit's ears without a word. His words seemed to be handing Ajit a key to unlock the answer, and Ajit Mousset suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes glaring. Great, I finally realized what was wrong!

civilian! Why can't this city see a civilian! Except for the sound of their marching footsteps and conversation, there was no sound coming!

"not good!"

His instinct as a soldier quickly made him realize what was wrong. He just wanted to speak for warning, but suddenly heard a sharp trumpet sound from all over the city. Then, a large number of soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire in dark blue uniforms. Poke his head from the roof, and aimed the terrifying long-barreled musket at the coalition marching on the street!

"This is a trap!"

Just as he roared at the same time ~lightnovelpub.net~ a series of crisp gunshots burst out on the roof. Flames spurted out from the muzzle with projectiles and flew into the coalition forces on the street. They immediately shot and killed a large number of coalition soldiers, headed by them. The Ajit and the chiefs were even more carefully taken care of. Dozens of guns were aimed at them riding on the war horse at the same time, and they were shot into a sieve in the first place!

Bang bang bang ——

boom--

The gunshots were mixed with several grenade explosions from time to time, and the ambushed coalition forces were instantly plunged into chaos. They were already low-disciplined, and this shortcoming was directly magnified several times after losing the leader. The coalition soldiers screamed and wanted to retreat, but they were huddled in a group, unable to perform their actions. Many people were pushed down in the chaos, trampled on their bodies countless, and trampled to death alive.

In the team, those war elephants that heard gunfire and explosions were frightened, screamed screaming, and rushed across the crowd, trampling a large number of soldiers under their feet and turning them into a pool of fleshy mud. The grenade also became a killing weapon at this moment. Once it exploded in a dense crowd, soldiers within a few meters of the surrounding area would be killed by shrapnel. For a while, the entire coalition team was full of miserable howls and pain before death. moan.
