Summoning Total War

Second Age Era 387, February.

The Principality of Athens raised 100,000 troops and formally declared war on the Parliament of Nobles. After the declaration of war, the Athenian army divided into two routes across the Karazhan Mountains and entered the plain area. One route went eastward and captured twelve cities in the northeast of the southern plain, and the other route went southward. The headquarters of the Parliament of Nobles. Under the strong military strength of Athens, the territories of those big nobles have no resistance at all. The first armored heavy cavalry regiment in human history is now in Athens. The noble council has almost no chance of winning on the plain battlefield. Athens captured more than ten cities in succession like a devastating blow.

The era of a kingdom is coming!

After Athens raised its troops, the entire human city-state echoed with a voice.

Murphy's reputation and the strength of Athens, as well as the corruption and increasing greed of the aristocratic parliament, made the lower class people easily accept the rule of Athens and Murphy's rule. Moreover, according to the decree of the Principality of Athens, after the establishment of a new kingdom, anyone can be allocated a piece of land. This makes the lower class people who are eager for land firmly stand on Murphy's side.

The role of fame is fully displayed at this moment!

The huge fame gives Murphy unparalleled voice and appeal. People believe in his promise and his promise to build a powerful human kingdom. They also believe that the laws issued by Murphy will be truly implemented. People believe in the future of mankind. There will no longer be the Right of the First Night in the kingdom, there will no longer be the Marriage Tax, and there will no longer be those outrageous noble privileges!

Everyone can own land, and as long as you pay for it, you will be rewarded, and you will be able to fill your stomach and not starve or freeze.

Southern Plains, Folon City.

Thirty thousand Athenian troops were stationed outside the city, with numerous military camps and overwhelming momentum. Groups of Athenian soldiers were waiting in formation, just waiting for Murphy's order to capture the city in front of them. Since the establishment of the Athens Second Army, the number of Murphy's troops has expanded to 50,000. If the reserve militias from various places are added, then this number can expand to 100,000.

The master of fact.

Now the Athenian army is far more than that.

Murphy underestimated the wealth in the hands of those nobles, and even more underestimated their greed. After successively conquering several noble territories of counts and above, Murphy discovered how much wealth these aboriginal nobles had accumulated. Hundreds of years of accumulation and long-term rule have allowed them to hold a large amount of wealth in their hands. This wealth is held firmly in their hands by these aboriginal nobles like misers. If they can take out part of it, Recruit soldiers to eliminate monsters. The southern plains will never remain the mess they are now!

Since last year, a slight famine has occurred in the southern plains. Many lower-class poor people have had to eat wild grass and vegetables to satisfy their hunger due to reduced food production. However, after Murphy captured several count's castles. But they found that it was filled with food, not just food. In order to cope with the next crisis, these aboriginal nobles also stocked up a large amount of meat and so on in the castle.

Facing those hungry people with sallow faces and skinny muscles, Murphy hesitated for a moment and then ordered to open a warehouse to help the people!

The supplies in Athens were not very abundant, especially after the army started, and supplies were a little tight. However, after all, he was from Earth, Century, and it was strange for him to watch a group of people starve, freeze, and eat grass roots. He really couldn't bear it. The aboriginal nobles of these viscounts and counts have accumulated so much wealth, so other great nobles must be even richer, right?

Murphy hoped that the spoils of war would satisfy him. After all, rebuilding the armament after establishing a kingdom also required a lot of wealth.

The Governor-General and the Cong refused to surrender! the herald quickly came to Murphy and shouted loudly.

Murphy's eyes were slightly cold, and he stared coldly at a middle-aged general on the city wall. He no longer hesitated and ordered in a deep voice: Prepare to attack!

There are twelve large cities in the human city-states in the southern plains, and the city of Folon in front of you is one of them. Compared with other human cities, large cities like Fulun City have strong walls and sufficient food and armaments. They can even persist for a long time when under siege. Perhaps this is also the reason why the nobles in the city refused to surrender. They may also expect that the Grand Dukes of the Noble Council can send reinforcements.

Boom boom boom!

………

Amidst a dull sound, giant trebuchets were pushed out. All of these giant trebuchets were enhanced versions improved by the craftsmen. They were almost equivalent to the highest version of the original trebuchets. Murphy - The reason for delaying the attack until now is not only to accumulate strength, but also to spare enough time to build these giant trebuchets, because only after Athens is upgraded to a big city, the corresponding technology will be available to build these huge trebuchets. City equipment.

This is not the end.

After more than thirty giant trebuchets were pushed out, other offensive equipment was continuously shipped out from the rear of the military camp.

Scorpion crossbows imitated by the Roman Empire were sent to the battlefield. These scorpion crossbows represent the highest achievements of Athens' current craftsmanship. Not only do they have a range that far exceeds other siege equipment, but they also have the characteristics of two bursts. ! The lethality of these repeating scorpion crossbows is far greater than that of crossbows. A large-scale shot can be devastating to the enemy!

Catapult!

...so many catapults!

………”

There was a commotion on the city wall. The indigenous soldiers who had felt a little panic when facing the famous Spartan warriors suddenly lost their morale after seeing so many trebuchets being pushed into the battlefield. There was a slight wavering.

Then hundreds of scorpion crossbows appeared, which knocked their morale to the bottom.

If the appearance of the giant trebuchet could give them a little bit of fighting spirit to resist, then so many scorpion crossbows being sent to the battlefield completely shattered their will to resist.

There's no need to fight at all!

Faced with so many large siege machines and the suppression of Athens' long archers, even if our own side has the advantage of the city, there is no chance of winning.

What's more, Athens sent its army south to establish a unified human kingdom. After capturing the city, the Athenian army did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor did they rape or plunder. They even opened warehouses several times to help the people and resettle those Hungry refugees. Athens' target was the Parliament of Nobles, the aristocratic class that held power, and had nothing to do with them, the lower-level soldiers.

Do you really want to fight for those greedy nobles and those powerful Spartan warriors?

—At that time, all the aboriginal soldiers were thinking about this issue.

Once this idea appeared, their will to fight completely disappeared. Who can't rule human city-states, why not! Do you have to stand on the side of the noble council? Wouldn't the future of humanity be better if the powerful Athens were in charge?

Before the battle began, deserters already appeared on the city walls.

Before the generals from the noble council could kill people to establish their authority and restore military discipline, the Athenian army had already begun to attack.

Boom!

More than thirty giant trebuchets aimed at the city gate, and under the control of the craftsmen, they fired a salvo. These giant trebuchets are all enhanced versions, with a range of up to 100 meters, even farther than many bows and arrows. With just one salvo, a tower near the city gate was blown down, and the city wall was also blown away. A corner. Heavy stones fell one after another, hitting the solid city wall with huge kinetic energy. Every time a huge stone fell, there was a muffled sound, and even the city wall shook unbearably. , and those who were unfortunate enough to be hit, had an even more miserable fate!

Once the offensive is launched, the Athenian army will show no mercy!

After several rounds of volleys from the giant trebuchet, more than a hundred scorpion crossbows also began to show their power. These scorpion crossbows would kill people if they hit people. If they were hit directly, the whole person would be torn apart. Before this era, although there were many awakened people, there were still no people who could compete with large siege equipment with weapons.

attack!

The desolate horn sounded, and as the dull war drums echoed on the battlefield, the Athenian military formation also began to advance slowly.

When the army closed to a distance of four yards, the Athenian longbow troops began to fire towards the city wall, suppressing the long-range firepower of the defenders. At the same time, a group of elite soldiers fully armored quietly walked around the city wall, threw out the hooks in their hands, and climbed the nearly ten-meter-high city wall. Although this elite force was heavily armored, they moved extremely quickly. The two-story height did not seem to be difficult for them at all. In just a few breaths, they turned over and jumped onto the city wall, launching a close-quarters fight. Fight.

——Dong dong dong!

The thundering drums sounded, and before the aboriginal defenders on the city wall could recover from the series of attacks, a burst of heavy footsteps came from the other side of the battlefield. The aboriginal generals nervously dispatched their troops, but when they saw the behemoths that appeared, they lost all their fighting spirit!

More than a dozen fully armored mammoth war elephants entered the battlefield. They were covered with a layer of metal armor and carried a wooden tower on their backs! These huge war beasts are undoubtedly not several meters high. If you add the towers placed on their backs, they are almost as high as their city walls! The mammoth war elephant is equipped with archers and spearmen, and is fully capable of carrying out a suppressive attack on the enemies on the city wall!

It's not over yet!

Behind these huge mammoth war elephants, a team of giant mountain Vajras followed behind them, holding huge logs as thick as buckets. The number of these giant mountain Vajras was not large, but they were undoubtedly not fully armored, and their momentum was soaring!

The defenders on the city wall - seeing this, they immediately had a psychological breakdown.

The aboriginal general who directed the battle was so trembling that he almost couldn't hold his weapon steady. He shouted to the guards beside him: Open the city gate! I hate opening the city gate!

We surrender!
