C157 Seize Gold

Tianchen saw that Sida was still hesitating, but he clearly showed a look of fear. Tianchen secretly handed the matters here to Carl and Carter, then he turned around and headed towards Gode Fortress.

Have you seen the scene of 300,000 cavalry charging over 200,000 infantry? Especially since these infantry were scattered around to attack the city, how could they have the chance to gather together and defend?

Spark did not have the time to ask the central camp to send troops to stop them, because the fifty thousand cavalry had already been sent to the east to fight against Fourth Prince's true reinforcements. Spark also did not have the ability to send infantry. Not to mention whether the infantry had the speed to reach the grassland knights, after all, on the road. In his middle camp, other than the protection force of one division, there was only the siege force that had just retreated. After fighting for an entire morning, how could they have the morale to stop the cavalry that was charging over with a shocking momentum?

At this time, Spark could only watch helplessly as the grassland cavalry split up the two infantry divisions that were attacking the city and scattered them. He hated himself for not setting up the rear camp so far. If the other three divisions rushed over, although they would not be able to deal with so many cavalry, At the very least, they would be able to help the siege formation. Now, his middle camp did not have the ability to fight against so many cavalry.

What made Spark the most furious was that the two siege formations had started to attack the city. The Gode Fortress was about to fall. Spark could clearly see that many soldiers who had climbed the city wall were at a loss. They were either killed or kicked off the city wall.

. . .

The generals on the wall of Gode Fortress were also shocked by the sudden change. What was going on? Could it be that reinforcements had come, but these knights were still wearing animal skins? No matter how one looked at it, they did not look like the cavalry forces of friendly forces. Instead, they looked like the legendary grassland knights. As the general of Black Heaven Empire, who did not share a border with the grassland, he did not know why the grassland knights suddenly came to Gode Fortress. Moreover, their numbers were shocking. They were as many as ants, and they actually split up the siege forces of at least two divisions under the city.

However, the defending general understood one thing. He could no longer participate in the counterattack. The remaining 20 thousand soldiers with heavy casualties could not bear any losses. If not for the arrival of the grassland knights, it would only take half a day for Goth City to be destroyed.

Suddenly, a man appeared in front of the garrison general. No, judging from his age, this man who suddenly appeared should be a young man.

The wind on the city wall suddenly stopped. The wind that was originally blowing was blocked outside as if it had encountered an invisible robbery. The city wall had just been fighting with all its might, but the sound that shook the sky suddenly became unusually quiet.

The young man seemed to have turned a blind eye to the fierce fighting on the city wall. He shook his head and said with a hopeful expression, "Respected commander, I personally admire your bravery in defending the city, but how long do you think you and your subordinates can last?"

The general suddenly understood. It seemed that this young man was here to persuade them to surrender. He smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know which party sent you, but I have already submitted the surrender letter this morning. Unfortunately, General Spark below did not agree. He did not even agree to the small request of me wanting to retreat with my subordinates. . . "

This young man was of course Tianchen. When he heard the general's words, Tianchen understood that the other party had wanted to surrender a long time ago. However, they were surrounded by the stronghold and wanted to retreat with their soldiers. Spark might have considered it and did not agree.

He nodded. Tianchen said, "I am the leader of the cavalry forces that just arrived. I allow you to leave with wounded soldiers, but you must ensure that the remaining resources in the city are not taken away. I only allow you to leave with basic defensive weapons and three days of rations. How about it?"

The general agreed, what else could he do? This request was not too much. If it was the Conquering Army that Spark commanded, Even such a request wouldn't be accepted. As for the young man in front of him. . . The chief general had already recognized that he was the lord of Zhonghua City, Yu Tianchen. As the dragon knight, Tianchen had already agreed to his request. At least, no soldiers would be ambushed after leaving the stronghold.

Very quickly, under Tianchen's command, the cavalry of the three divisions dispersed the more than 100 thousand scattered sieging troops in the direction of the Conquering Army's camp.

When Spark saw this, he was overjoyed. He did not expect that Gode Fortress would have a new master. He thought that the sieging troops would retreat on their own accord and quickly ordered the troops in the middle camp to bring back the defeated troops. No matter how strong the grassland cavalry were, it was impossible for them to attack the middle camp, which was not weaker than the city wall's defense.

Seeing the troops coming back, Spark also urgently ordered the troops in the back to quickly move closer to the middle camp, preparing to use the camp defense to face the grassland cavalry's charge.

On the other hand, the rescue troops that Fourth Prince sent out were also intercepted by the cavalry forces that Spark previously sent out. A great battle immediately broke out between the rescue team and the five blockades. As the rescue team did not know whether Gode Fortress had fallen or not, Hence, the rescue cavalry commander was very anxious and ordered the cavalry under his command not to fight with the enemy cavalry. Although the number of cavalry in Conquering Army was reduced by half, the victory was only to intercept. After a battle of blockades, the rescue cavalry was still blocked by the cavalry on the rescue route.

The tens of thousands of rescue cavalry who were able to escape the interception of the cavalry were immediately intercepted by the 100,000 foot soldiers of Conquering Army. If they went around, who knew how much time would be wasted.

The commander of the rescue cavalry was helpless. He could only hope that the follow-up infantry would follow up quickly and break through with a large number of troops.

Luckily, it was not too late by an hour. The three hundred thousand infantry of the rescue army quickly followed. Not only did they surround the obstructing cavalry, but they also began to attack and defend against the obstructing infantry.

Spark, who had received the rescue team and the intercepting troops, looked at the hundreds of thousands of cavalry in front of him. He did not want to be separated and destroyed, so he could only order them to fight and retreat. He hoped that they could work together with the middle and back troops to resist the rescue team and the hundreds of thousands of cavalry that suddenly appeared in front of them.

Tianchen ordered Hank and Acre to push back the 120 thousand soldiers hidden outside and the Conquering Army troops that surrounded the Gode Fortress from a few directions. They quickly exchanged with the defending troops from the back door of the Gode Fortress.

The handover with the Gode Fortress was very smooth. Spark had already seen that the chances of breaking into the Gode Fortress were slim. He had ordered those soldiers to return to the main camp. Tianchen's troops only separated a few tens of thousands of cavalry to get rid of the sieging soldiers. The following troops smoothly accepted Gode Fortress, and the lead troops were also "magnanimous" under Tianchen's command. They took the basic defensive weapons and rations and left dejectedly.

When the dust settled on the second day, when the three forces confronted each other in a triangle, everyone realized that the Gode Fortress had changed its master, and this new master was the Zhonghua City troops that should not have appeared.

. . .

"Damn it!" In the main camp of Conquering Army, Spark roared furiously. He had never thought that his plan would be perfect. It could be said that it was a diversion, and it was a strategic plan that was exchanged for the honor of the Golden family. In two days of sieging, there were close to a hundred thousand casualties. Twenty thousand warriors lost their lives at the foot of the city of Gotham, and in exchange, they were used as collateral for others. This was especially the case when the person who had stolen the chestnuts was the most hated person in the Zhonghua City, Yu Tianchen. This hateful villain who had stolen his fiancee!

With such an outcome, Spark almost wanted to take a break from Sri'di's madness. However, there were more than 100,000 soldiers from Zhonghua City in Gode Fortress, and there were close to three divisions of grassland cavalry. Spark's rational brain told him that it was almost impossible to attack Gode Fortress without an absolute advantage in numbers.

He only had 700,000 soldiers left to fight. More than 50,000 of them had died under the city of Goth, or were killed or intercepted by the reinforcements. There were also more than 100,000 wounded soldiers who had lost their ability to fight. Facing Tianchen's 400 thousand troops, it was not impossible to break through the reinforced Gode Fortress. The casualties were definitely shocking and heavy.

Originally, Spark had planned to attack the Gode Fortress to avenge his honor and humiliation, but there were more than just Conquering Army and Zhonghua City's troops here. There were also nearly four hundred thousand rescue troops that came to rescue them. No one knew what Tianchen had done, but these rescue troops didn't attack the Gode Fortress. Instead, they directly clashed with the Conquering Army.

Spark couldn't do anything about it, so he could only swallow the bitter fruit. He temporarily withdrew his troops and retreated 50 miles to set up camp. He wanted the rescue troops to leave as soon as possible. He turned back and continued to attack. By then, most of the wounded soldiers would be able to recover their strength. Attacking the Gode Fortress, which had a lot of cavalry, as long as they steadily advanced. Without giving the cavalry an opportunity to attack, it was not impossible for the Gode Fortress to attack. In the future, they would be able to obtain great results and sacrifice even more of their forces. Spark could also bear it.

. . .

In Gode Fortress, Tianchen and Fourth Prince's rescue army commander were drinking and chatting happily.

"Earl Bordeli, we haven't seen each other for a long time. The last time we met was when I just inherited the title of nobility. You came to watch the ceremony. We haven't seen each other for a few years, but you are still as elegant as ever!" Tianchen raised his old cup and said to Borderi.

Borderi was not unfamiliar with Tianchen. He was the deputy commander of the Southern Legion Corps. He had been stationed in the south for a long time. He had seen Tianchen a few times in Lami County, which was close to the south and was considered the lord of the southwest. However, he was not that familiar with Tianchen.

"Marquis Tianchen, you took advantage of the time when Conquering Army attacked Gode Fortress to lead the army first. It seems a little unfair!" Borderi looked at Tianchen with interest. His tone was not as stiff as it seemed. It seemed that he was not too disappointed with the outcome of Tianchen obtaining the Gode Fortress.
