Vol 2 Chapter 967: , Eastern Light of the Empire - Herzig
PS: Updated, a little late today, please forgive me.
PS2: This chapter is 5,000 words long. I wish you a happy reading!
The news from Surya's side was actually a bit late. When the knight queen and the goblin maid were still discussing the battle, the siege of Herzig, the capital of Hawke, was actually over.
At the time of the Battle of the Three Kings, the Slaanesh Legion led by Prince Sigwald, the champion of Slaanesh's Chosen, was still several days away from Middenstanger. , Prince Sigwald immediately gave up his approach to Middenstanger and turned to attack Hawke's Land.
This ancient imperial province has faced yet another severe catastrophe and dire ordeal.
The Slaanesh Legion took advantage of the fact that the empire's attention was all on Oster and Ostermark, and immediately swept the entire Hawkland. Under the command of Prince Sigwald, the Slaanesh Legion gave full play to their speed. And the characteristics of the invasion like fire, the marching speed is extremely fast, and often the defenders have arrived before they can react, and the Slaanesh Legion's crossing is not like the Khorne Legion to kill enough people to get enough skulls and bleed enough. , and unlike the Legion of Nurgle, whose minds are full of spreading plague and corruption, the Legion of Slaanesh transits as quickly as the wind, celebrating enough in one place and satisfying their desires before heading to the next place.
Of course, Prince Sigwald aimed at Herzig, the capital of Hawke, the city known as the Eastern Light of the Empire, and killed tens of thousands of Hawke leaders and looted several along the way. Town, a few days later, the Legion of Slaanesh has come to the city of Herzig.
The Elector of Hawke, Edbrand Ludenhof, personally led the Knights of the Broken Sword and the defenders of Hawke to fight against the Slaanesh Legion. The siege lasted about five or six days. And the Slaanesh Legion in the field lacked siege weapons and failed to siege the city, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, and the Slaanesh Legion was in high spirits, because the coach promised that once Hezig was captured, no matter how terrible the desires and strange habits can be obtained. Satisfy.
At the same time, Prince Sigwald also managed to "charm" a large number of Beastmen from the Drakwald Forest, who joined the siege as the "Royal Army".
Edbrand-Ludenhof gathered almost all adult men to form an army of more than 20,000 people, and was ready to besiege the city for a long time. Fortunately, there was a bumper harvest last year, and the food reserves in the city were not bad. adequate.
Edbrand Ludenhof is a tall and thin middle-aged man with a horse face. In addition to the elector, he also holds the title of Grand Baron of Hawke, Marshal of Tarabek River Cruise, The title of the guardian of the temple, Baron Herzig, the elector has always been known throughout the empire for his loyalty and bravery. He fought valiantly and was especially good at dealing with huge enemies. His eyes were like eagles, and he was tall and thin. Unexpectedly strong, is a rare brave general.
There are advantages and disadvantages. As an elector, Edbrand doesn't like to stay in his palace. He stays in the hunting palace in the south of Hawke's territory all the year round and indulges in hunting activities. He rarely interferes with internal affairs. Proud of his large collection of hunting birds of prey, each room in the palace has at least one large bird of prey perched because of its large number, even in battle the elector keeps the falcon on his arm.
Only when the winter hunts are out of the question will the Elector return to Herzig and spend the winter in his Elector Christopher Castle, a high walled fortress that will take him and his family and the filthiest and most filthy of the poor.
In February, it was winter, and the annoying ice and snow used to be something that Hawkling hated deeply, but now they cheered for every heavy snow, because the low temperature would prevent the Chaos army from attacking the city, and the first surface was still colder than before. The bones are still hard, the trees stretch their bare branches to the gray sky in vain, the refugees inside the city wrap themselves up, terrified and trembling in the dark, listening to the voices outside and chanting In the name of Charlemagne, Uric, Tar, or Varenna, hoping for redemption.
The streets and lanes of Herzig were empty, and the city was under the strictest military control. The elector asked every resident and refugee to stay in the house as much as possible and not go out, and at the same time recruited every male aged 16-50 to the battlefield. , Now, the entire Hawke Territory's small urban areas and blocks have become tidy, and groups of patrolling soldiers are walking on the road, vigilant about everything.
On the wall, the Elector was discussing the defense of the city with his general, General Scharnhorst.
Hawk Land is located in the east of Midden Land, the south of Central Mountain Range, the north of Tarabek Land, and the west of Oster Land. It can be regarded as the central transportation hub of the empire. Because of this, the Hawk Land people will not be hostile. Outsiders, they are optimistic and cheerful, and at the same time as wise and flexible as an old hunter, but the war still plagues the people here. Every two years, there will be at least a large-scale security war in Hawke. After Gertwo ravaged, Herzig never regained its former glory, but the people here always refused to succumb to the darkness. They would rather die than give up their homeland.
"The Chaos Chaos has attacked the North Gate and the West Gate these days." The elector said to General Scharnhorst: "We must be more vigilant, there must be other possibilities waiting for us."
"The enemy's attack is very fierce. Our order is to avoid close combat as much as possible. We have recruited every firearm, every bow and every sword in the city." General Scharnhorst said: "Chaos The offal lacks siege weapons and has no numerical advantage, and Herzig will never fall so easily."
"Where are the reinforcements from the King of Knights and Boris?" General Scharnhorst was a general trusted by Elector Edbrand, and the Elector would not hide his worries in front of him: "We can't fight alone and persevere. too long."
As Edbrand said, Herzig couldn't last too long in front of the Slaanesh Legion, because Hawkland is the smallest province of the Empire's provinces, with a small population, and Hawkland and the Empire There is one biggest difference among the provinces, that is, the Hawke has only public security patrols and semi-professional defenders, plus the elector's personal guards. This province does not have a strong standing army, and the reason is very simple. , that is, the small area of Hawke's territory does not allow a fully professional army to be raised for a long time.
When Ostland was invaded, Hawke also sent a lot of troops to Ostland to support, so now Herzig City lacks elites other than the electoral guards, even if all adult males are recruited , and the defenders were only 20,000.
Now the most elite army in the city is the famous Hawkerling Drakwald patrol battalion. The commander of this reinforced battalion is the imperial general Kazburg, who is a legendary powerhouse with a long-standing reputation. The most famous heroic deeds are Known throughout the province for killing a Minotaur in heads-up.
The Patrol Battalion consists of five companies, three of which are collectively referred to as the "Green Caps". These halberdiers are acclaimed for their red and green uniforms and their ability to face the Beastmen's charge without changing their faces.
A swordsman company of "Crimson Rebels", responsible for protecting the flanks of the halberds, known for their bravery and tenacity.
Of course, none of the first four companies are as famous as the last one.
"Ganderman's Total Victory Shooter", the most famous fire gun company in the old world used Yishui's special long-barreled sniper fire gun. Captain Ganderman Burz can shoot a coin from 350 meters away, which is of course impossible, but if 100-150 meters are given enough time to aim, the marksman may really be able to do it.
This patrol battalion is the backbone of the elector's army. In addition to its strong combat power and excellent ability to fight in the forest and wilderness, the patrol battalion is also notorious for its dirty hands and feet, and many of the baggage and taxes that pass through their patrol routes are often " Bizarre disappearance." After several investigations, it was finally resolved. Considering the arduous task of patrolling the forest and the possible trouble and turmoil of a thorough investigation, the elector himself finally chose to acquiesce.
"It should be very close." General Scharnhorst replied: "If nothing else, reinforcements will arrive today or tomorrow."
Edbrand-Ludenhof breathed a sigh of relief. Such a large reinforcement should be able to solve the Chaos army besieging Herzig once and for all. He was extremely fortunate that the Empire and Britania had signed an alliance treaty. Man and Tal are on top, and he was still firmly opposed to the one who signed the alliance, because the alliance with Brittany may affect the timber export, glass manufacturing and animal husbandry production of Hawke.
Since he only had to hold on for another day or so, the elector was much more relaxed. He looked at the barbarian army under the city. They seemed a little helpless in the face of Hezig's city wall. .
Hawkland has never lacked excellent musketeers and hunters. The volley of muskets and the waterfall-like rain of arrows fell on the city wall. The prince refused to bring the behemoth troops because he didn't like ugly, and the original Chaos Hell Cannon was also lost in the great battle of Zedevka, so when he encountered the siege, it was difficult.
The Slaanesh God's Chosen champion tried to lead the Slaanesh warriors to attack the city walls of Herzig in person, but because his clothes were too conspicuous, he directly attracted the focus of the Hawk's long-tube gunners, bullets and bullets. Sigwald's armor sparked a lot of sparks, which scared the Slaanesh's Chosen champion, he came to the old world with Motkin, and he didn't want to die. delivered!
"According to the strength of this attack, we can support it for a long time, my elector." Another imperial general came up, holding a revolving gun in his hand, and the equipment was obviously better than the surrounding Hawk's leading military nobles. A lot of luxury, black and gold military uniforms and gorgeous full-body plate armor gleaming.
He was the military advisor sent by Noor, General Erich von Küchler, a senior artillery specialist who was in charge of the artillery units of the Hawke Territory, and was sent by Countess Emmanuel to provide professional expertise. Artillery commander, the elector attaches great importance to him, after all, his eldest son Konrad Ludenhof is studying at the Noor Gun Academy.
"I hope so." The Elector continued to command the battle in person. The Slaanesh Legion attacked again and again, but they were all repelled by the heroic Hawke leader. The cannons on the city wall continued to fire, and the proud Hawke led the musketeers. Pour rows and rows of bullets and white smoke at the Slaanesh warriors, trying to keep Prince Sigwald out of trouble.
Sigwald did not want to give up, he hoped to dedicate the eastern light of this empire to Slaanesh, to his master, the Prince of Pleasure.
Until in the twilight of the setting sun, a mad knight rushed to Prince Sigwald's side: "The situation has changed, the champion of the master, a huge army is coming towards us from the west! There are many of them. , also carrying a large number of artillery, look at the flag, that is the human coalition army of Knight King Ryan-Malcador and Midden-led Boris!"
"Idiot! I already knew that!" Prince Sigwald waved his hand impatiently, signalling the mad knight to go away.
Hearing that a large army was coming, Prince Sigwald's Guards of the Mirror Guard all turned their attention to their master.
The prince raised his reflective and transparent shield, lightly checked his arrogance, and then said lightly, "Give it up, in terms of beauty, Rian Macado can't compare to me."
"Your Excellency, the number of enemies is much more than us!" A magic mirror guard reminded: "Once we fall into a double-sided attack, we will be in danger of being wiped out!"
"Shut up!" Siegwald's voice sharpened. "Don't I know? I, Siegwald, don't need anyone to remind me!"
"I have sent several Beastmen chapters to set up an ambush on the periphery! Today is the day of the demise of Ryan Malcador!"
On the other side, in the Drakwald Forest, Hawke leads the way.
The army is advancing fast.
"Your Majesty, Herzig is under siege!" The scout sent information: "We are less than three kilometers away from Herziger!"
"All army, speed up!" Ryan ordered loudly, and the King of Knights personally walked at the front of the team.
The human army eager to support Herzig slammed into the ambush of the Beastmen like this. In a flash, in the dark jungle, hundreds of Beastmen and Horned Beasts led more bad Horned Beasts, Centaurs and more. All kinds of monsters rushed out of the forest, led by dozens of bighorn beasts and minotaurs, like waves on a green ocean, pouring out from all directions.
"Hoo~hoooooooooo~"
"Ooooooooo~"
"Kill...humans...meat...eat!"
Thousands of Beastmen looked extremely ferocious, and the screaming shamans praised the name of the evil god, heralding the coming of glory, and the beasts were given the opportunity to serve the evil god. The sons of chaos opened their lazy mouths, and muttered, Then there was a scream, and then the hordes, roaring loudly, praising the gods, rushed out of the forest in swarms towards the vanguard of the human army.
The next second, they saw the king of knights, Ryan Malcador, riding on the Griffin Imperius, and the bearskin hats behind him, and the bearskin hats were holding up the gold "L" letter and Tricolor flag embroidered with lots of place names!
"The king of knights, the god-chosen champion of the lady, Ryan Malcador is here! Who dares to fight me!" Ryan and a griffin took the lead, and the king of knights raised Thor's hammer, he was like a **** descending into the world: "Ryan is here this!"
"Forward! For the lady and the king! For Britannia!" The old guard and the Knights of the Holy Grail followed immediately.
"Wow wow wow wow wow! It's... Ryan! It's... the natural enemy!"
"Woooooo~ Apocalypse...coming...Destruction...coming!"
"We... doomed... to fail!"
"Gore... cry!"
"Lane is here! Ryan is here!"
"Lightning...will...burn us!"
"Escape... escape!!!"
When the bighorn beasts saw Ryan and the bearskin hats pressing directly over, they were terrified and shivered. These beastmen, who have always been known for their strength and bravery, almost subconsciously threw away their weapons and turned their heads to run for their lives~www.wuxiaspot. com~ The screaming shamans were terrified. They threw away their staffs and ran around. They didn't even have the courage to look back. .
Horned beasts and bad-horned beasts are even more unbearable. They have been scared to the point of excrement and urine, their legs are weak, and they can only crawl out of the battlefield by crawling on all fours. "On-site defecation and urine removal.
All the beastmen were running for their lives. The only thing they thought about when they saw Ryan appeared was to run for their lives. They obviously took advantage of the geographical advantage and through ambushes, the big horned beast group was caught off guard by the human coalition. The first reaction was not to take the opportunity to melee Taking advantage of their strengths, they wanted to escape, and they fled in all directions in an unorganized and disorderly manner, taking care of themselves.
The big horns are like this, and the remaining beasts are even more unbearable and completely defeated.
escape! escape! Run as far away as possible! We can't beat Ryan, never!
The ambush tactics carefully designed by Prince Sigwald were defeated like this. Thousands of beastmen were completely defeated without even killing one of the human army. The moment Ryan appeared, the outcome was already doomed.
Fear of the King of Knights and his army is etched into the DNA of the Drakwald Beastmen, and it's hard to get rid of it.
Ryan showed no mercy. With a wave of his warhammer, the knights took the opportunity to chase and kill them. After a wave of charges, more than half of the thousands of beastmen were killed, and the rest had all fled. Except for a hapless knight riding on the human army The warhorse accidentally tripped over a corpse, causing the horse to fall off and break his leg, but no one was injured.
"WTF?" Prince Sigwald stared at this scene dumbfounded.
Before it was too late, Ryan personally led the knight brigade and rolled toward the Slaanesh army formation on the outskirts of Hezig!
