Chapter 278 The northern land joins the war

In the southern battlefield, the armies of King William and King Charles cooperated with each other and were on par with Regent Philip's army. The two sides have been in a stalemate for some time, but according to the latest information, Regent Philip will send new troops to join the southern battlefield. So Once it comes, it will break the balance of the battlefield. When the two kings William and Charles were worried, Christine said, "Two kings, don't worry. Today, my father, Count Alexander, sent news. The deployment in the north has been completed. My father personally led the army to open the northern battlefield to contain Prince Regent Philip's army. In this way, Prince Regent Philip did not have many troops to support the southern battlefield." "That's very good. With the addition of Earl Alexander, it will be difficult for Philip to take care of both of them." After hearing the news about Christine, King William swept away his worries from the day before and said happily, "Well, should we take advantage of this? Time to launch a counterattack. The opening of the northern battlefield will definitely demoralize the enemy. If we spread the propaganda, then," King Charles said thoughtfully. King William and Christine heard King Charles's words. Opinion, I couldn't help but think in my heart, "Char is still like this, he is full of evil thoughts." In the northern land, Maicheng, the troops are gathering. From other cities in the northern border, troops are constantly gathering on trains in Maicheng. Yes, Now that the northern border has been fully opened to traffic and has gone through some rest and recuperation, at least the cities have been equipped with artillery. Although each city will divide a part of the soldiers to form the southern expeditionary army, the remaining soldiers face the battle and rely on the city walls and The artillery is enough to wait for the arrival of reinforcements. In this way, the worries are finally solved. Outside Maicheng, Count Alexander, dressed in military uniform, with tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, the vast and melodious horn sound sounded, and all the soldiers had a look on their faces. There was a solemn killing, no swearing-in meeting, and no drinking practice. After the horn sounded three times, Count Alexander reined up his horse and moved forward, taking the first step of the southern expedition. The soldiers behind him followed neatly. Although there were many people, there was no trace of them. There is no noise. It can be seen that the quality of these troops is much better than that of ordinary family private guards. Yade City is close to the northern border, but it is under the control of the imperial capital. It is the most controlled by the imperial capital in the north. Far away, compared to the raging battlefield in the south, the northern part of the empire is indeed much calmer, so there are not many troops stationed in Yade City. After all, the northern land still belongs to the Odins Empire in name. , did not go out independently, but today, the soldiers who were originally on guard on the city wall saw a large army spreading beyond the city of Yade, and each of them was in bright armor and high energy. It was obvious that this army , the rapid beating of war drums with evil intentions and impure intentions rang on the city wall. The panicked soldiers hurriedly sent out a signal to gather the garrison troops. At the same time, they hurriedly reported to the Lord of the City that Count Alexander led the army to directly attack the city of Adelaide. Over ten thousand, there was a sea of ​​people. Looking around, the dark area outside the city was filled with Count Alexander's army. It was precisely the dark clouds that were pressing down on the city that was about to destroy it. Therefore, when the lord of Ader City stood on the city wall and looked outside When he attacked Count Alexander's army, his legs couldn't help but tremble, but for the sake of face, he still had the courage to shout to Count Alexander outside the city wall, "Count Alexander, you, you, with so many soldiers, want to do it, What are you doing, you want to rebel against the country?" After the city lord of Yade City, Zhuang Xianghe, shouted, he quickly hid behind the city wall. Of course, for the city lord of Yade City, a young nobleman who had just grown up and had been well-dressed and well-fed since childhood. , he had never seen such a scene. His father led most of the family's guards to respond to Prince Regent Philip's call and went to the imperial capital to assemble. Most of the nobles in the city took their guards with them and responded to the call. Although many nobles were questioning it at the time, no one dared to disobey Regent Philip's order. Therefore, the current defensive strength of Adelaide City was already weak. In addition, the noble young master had just come of age and faced a large number of people. Count Alexander, how could he not be timid? "Prince Regent Philip, greedy for power, killed the king, persecuted the prince, and punished everyone. Today, I, Count Alexander, obey the public opinion, go south to attack the traitor Philip, open the city gate, give up resistance, and join us from "Treat me leniently." Earl Alexander loudly explained the purpose of his visit below, "You are talking nonsense, you, you are treason. If you retreat now, I will treat it as if nothing happened." The little city lord of Yade City said, "Attack "City" looked at the Lord of Yade City who still wanted to resist, Count Alexander said, several artillery pieces were pushed out and faced the city gate. At this time, an artillery team dispatched by Halson from the border town followed. The army went out. Under the skillful control of the artilleryman, the bomb was put into the dark barrel, the angle was adjusted, and the fire was fired. "Peng, Peng Peng," there were several loud noises in succession, and a gap was blown out of the city gate. After all, it was like For a small city like Adelaide, the quality of the city gates could not withstand the artillery bombardment. The city gates were breached before the battle even started. The little city lord on the city wall was frightened and immediately announced his surrender. Prince Regent Philip also returned In the imperial capital, he was thinking about the southern battlefield. The two princes were far more difficult to deal with than he thought. Therefore, Prince Regent Philip had sent the third legion of the Thorn Flower Guards to support the southern battlefield. The two legions were attacking from a pinch. Together with the troops of local forces, Prince Regent Philip thought that the results of the southern battlefield should be decided soon. At this time, a servant came to deliver a message, "Prince Regent Philip, there is news from the northern front, Count Alexander. , led the Northern Suppression Army and has captured the city of Yade." "Ahem, cough, what?" Regent Philip, who was tasting wine, was choked by the news and looked at the servant with a questioning look on his face, "Prince Regent Philip, Alexander of the North The Earl joined the battle," the servant said cautiously. "Count Alexander actually dared to interfere in political affairs. I knew that Alexander would not give up so easily. I originally thought that after cleaning up the southern battlefield, he would come to the northern land. Since you are so impatient, then capture the northern land first." Prince Regent Philip's eyes of different colors exuded a strange light, and he murmured to himself, "Send the second legion of the Thorn Flower Guards to lead the way. "Local private troops, go to the northern battlefield to meet the enemy," Prince Regent Philip issued the order. The northern battlefield was opened, and the victory in the first battle greatly boosted the confidence of the southern battlefield to fight against Prince Regent Philip.
