One thousand ninety-six chapters full city flags
Galahad was in a bad mood now, and he felt that he had miscalculated.
At this time, the vanguard troops were rectified, and Galahad stood outside the capital city. 400 meters ahead was the main gate of the capital that was blocked by steel. It was also the only way to enter the capital of the empire during the war. He was only one step away from his success.
However, this step was blocked.
Galahad looked up and saw a scene covering the sky and the moon.
The walls of the capital are lined with flags, and various military flags are like black clouds covering the city. The shadows cast by the backlight cover the area dozens of meters ahead.
Under the military flag, there were crowds of people everywhere, and soldiers were running. They were condescending and staring at the vanguard of the church.
In the Red Blood Empire, only the first-level combat units of the "army" level have their own flags, and the scale of an army is at least 20,000 to 30,000. There are millions of military-level combat units like the Eagle Flag Army, which have gluttonous beast-level combat units. Of course, this is not universal.
But at this time, there were more than forty military flags standing on the wall of the royal capital. Even if the minimum number of 20,000 soldiers per army was calculated, there were 800,000 defenders here!
At first, Galahad thought there would be a fraud. After all, hanging the military flag is not a laborious task. If you wave it to scare people, the purpose will be achieved.
But after careful observation, Galahad found that the situation seemed a bit serious.
Military flags can deceive people, but soldiers will not deceive people.
Galahad stared outside the city for an hour and sent statistics personnel in other areas to calculate the number of soldiers entering and leaving. They soon discovered that in just one hour, more than 100,000 soldiers were in and out. From this point of view, even if the number of 800,000 was false, it would not be far from the difference.
Galahad suddenly felt a fire. The information he received was that the Red Blood Empire was defeated. The northern personnel had fled to the Jiangnan area on a large scale, and they fled with the civilians and soldiers. Why did the king still have 800,000 defenders?!
If the intelligence officers were present, Galahad would have slashed the bastard's head with one sword!
Because of blindly pursuing the speed of attack, after breaking through the outer defense line of the capital, Galahad's vanguard troops dropped sharply to 600,000. Although they are all elite, the siege battles are different from those in the field.
It’s like the Chang’an defense battle, where 35 million troops fought against 600,000 troops, but they fought 8 million before they attacked. Although it was because they encountered Luo You, it was enough to prove that the attacker in the siege battle was at a loss.
According to the current situation, Galahad is afraid that he will not be able to seize the capital.
When Galahad thought that the opportunity to achieve success was close, he could get the highest reward from the Pope, but because of the intelligence issue, he became more and more angry the more he thought about it.
At this time, a team of knights came over and asked in a deep voice: "What should we do?"
Galahad pondered for a long time, squinted his eyes and said, "Collection of the spiritual vision and explore the reality and reality."
The Spirit Visioner came soon, possessed a falcon to prepare to cross the city wall. However, there was a loud sound of fire coming from the city wall. All the falcons that took off were killed in the air. Several Spirit Visioner who had no time to leave were severely injured. Both eyes were covered in blood and fell to the ground to wail.
Galahad was so angry that he shouted, "Fly higher!"
The falcon possessed by the Spirit Vision begins to take off from the rear position, first reaching the extreme height that the falcon can reach, and then approaches the capital of the king.
But this still has no effect. The anti-aircraft cannons in the capital were quickly opened. These anti-aircraft cannons were all designed to fight against high-altitude weapons. Even the cruise altitude of Valkyrie can reach. The Falcon's only carbon-based creatures have a flight limit completely within the strike range of the anti-aircraft cannon.
Not long after, three more spiritual visionaries were seriously injured.
The Spirit Visioner is a treasure in the church. Galahad only felt his heart bleeding. His eyes stern and he said fiercely: "Send the demigod body to see!"
Soon, the two demigod bodies roared and approached the city wall, but just as they reached the starting point, the sound of trumpets tearing their eardrums came from the capital city, and they were shaking the sky with the gongs and drums. All 500 beacon towers were ignited. The roars of the soldiers' roars of fighting sounded like thunder. The demigod bodies affected by the noise began to shake their heads, and even Galahad covered their ears with sore teeth and signaled to withdraw in sign language.
The enemy's approach seemed to inspire the fighting spirit of the royal guards. The sound of gongs and drums and horns tore the sky, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, the city was filled with beacons on the city wall, and people were crowded. Various red blood military flags rushed at high speed, woven together to form a fire dragon with its teeth and claws.
Such momentum is more than a few hundred thousand people...
Galahad's face turned pale when he saw this scene and had to lead his troops to withdraw back to the camp.
After entering the military tent, he cursed and said, "Contact Gao Wen quickly and ask him to mobilize people from Chang'an for me. We can't attack us."
A staff member named Knight frowned and said, "The Pope knows that he will be unhappy."
Galahad snorted coldly and said, "It's better than being slaughtered like a dog."
There were not many staff members and knights, so they sent the request for reinforcements to Chang'an.
At night, Galahad was unwilling to give up and secretly approached the city wall. He observed carefully for a while and found that the city wall was silent. The ignited beacon had also been extinguished, and it seemed that it was resting.
Galahad patted his companions' armor, and the knights behind him whispered in a low voice, conveying the gathering information. Soon, tens of thousands of siege troops secretly assembled.
Galahad raised his hand and was about to wave it...
"kill!!!"
"kill!!"
"kill!!!"
The royal capital city wall sounded overwhelming shouts and killing sounds, and the endless military flags began to dance like fire dragons. 500 beacons were ignited again, and figures kept coming in and out, and the entire city wall came alive in an instant.
Not long after, guns and cannons came, because Galahad's siege troops were too close and were blown up for a moment. He wiped a handful of soil splashed on his face and said with a grim face: "Back back! We're trapped!"
Faced with the fierce defenders, Galahad had to retreat to avoid being doomed.
There were no more casualties, but the more headaches of Galahad continued.
The night attack just now seemed to have stimulated the royal capital defenders. The beacon fires had not been extinguished all night. There were people coming and going on the city walls, with the sound of trumpets, gongs and drums, and the sound of killings shockingly, which made every knight of the church hurt his eardrums and couldn't even sleep well.
In the early morning, Galahad, who was quarreled to the point of neurasthenia, finally couldn't stand it anymore and ordered the tent to be removed. The entire army retreated three kilometers and kept a certain distance from the king. Then he slept tiredly.
