Chapter 240 This City Is Worthless
Soon, the third day came.
Silicius reorganized his army and the Pabuvian army launched another attack.
The offensive on the third day was even more fierce than the previous two days, because Sirius knew that today they had to consume most of the stone cannons of the Absolute Knight Castle.
It seemed that the soldiers in the Pabuvian army also knew what the purpose of today was.
A large number of miscellaneous troops were sent to the front.
These past few days we have been consuming the miscellaneous troops in the main army.
Although these ragtag troops knew they were going to die on the battlefield, they had to obey orders.
Because if you disobey orders on the battlefield, these nobles will have thousands of ways to make you pay a heavy price...
More than 20,000 miscellaneous troops were ready to climb the rocky mountain of the Knight's Castle.
In order to quickly capture the Knights' Castle, Sicilius ordered the craftsmen to make a large number of giant iron nails.
And cooperate with the magician to start building the plank road.
In two days at most, all the natural defenses of the entire Knight's Castle will disappear completely.
Without the protection of the cliff, how long would it take for the Knight's Castle to be breached?
Looking at the Pabuvian ragtag army coming like a tide.
Giovanni ordered his soldiers to keep some of the stone cannons and throw away the rest.
Consume the enemy's manpower as much as possible.
And a large amount of oil was poured down, and the Papua soldiers walked on the stone road covered with oil.
They couldn't stand steadily at all and many soldiers slipped and fell.
And that’s not the scariest thing.
The most terrifying thing was that the Xiro archers shot rockets at the oil!
Watching the rockets fall to the ground.
The faces of the Pabuvian soldiers were filled with despair.
"No!"
The next second, the flames ignited the entire ground.
Large numbers of Papua soldiers danced with fire.
The soldiers of the Principality of Xiro were a little reluctant, but their reluctance was quickly suppressed.
This is a battlefield, there is no mercy, only life or death!
Seeing that the fire was forcing the army back, Silicis ordered the magicians to put out the fire immediately, and at the same time, ordered the army to speed up the construction of the plank road.
The plank road must be completed tomorrow!
To this end, the army had to capture people from the Principality of Xiro from villages dozens of kilometers away to serve as laborers.
The cavalrymen accepted this lucrative job and subsequently sent thousands of them to the villages dozens of kilometers away to capture laborers.
A large number of ordinary people were captured and packed up and sent to the Knight's Castle.
If we advance day and night without stopping, we will reach the Knight's Castle as early as tomorrow dawn.
These ordinary people originally thought that they could breathe a sigh of relief after avoiding the army's advance route, but they did not expect that they would still be unable to escape the torture of war...
More than 10 civilians from the Principality of Xiluo were captured.
These civilians have no time to rest, and what awaits them is endless labor...
At the same time, Lyon, who was drifting far away on the sea, also received news that the Principality of Xiluo was attacked.
Taking off from the airport closest to the border of the Violet Principality, the straight-line distance to the Knight's Castle is 6400 kilometers.
The maximum combat radius of the B29 is only 5800 kilometers.
This means that it is impossible to provide direct support to the Principality of Xiluo from within the territory of the Violet Principality.
If you want B29 to support Knight Castle, there are only two options.
Or the B29 bomber could reduce its ammunition load, but the effect would be minimal.
Or build a new airport near the capital of the Holy Empire.
Let the B29 bomber take off from the Violet Principality and fly to the capital of the Holy Empire, the Imperial Capital, for resupply.
Then fly to Knight's Castle again for support.
And the straight-line distance from the Imperial Capital to the Knight's Castle is only 4000 kilometers.
This distance is sufficient for the B29 bomber to maintain sufficient bomb load.
Lyon immediately telegraphed Emperor Charles, asking him to order his magicians to build an airport.
When Emperor Charles learned the news, he started building the airport without any hesitation because he also knew the importance of the Knights' Castle.
If the Knight's Castle is lost, the entire Principality of Xiluo will be annexed by the Holy Southern Empire.
Neither the Holy Empire nor Great Yan wanted to see this happen.
Therefore, building an airport is imperative.
But even a magician needs time...
And can the Knight Castle hold out for another two days?
Knight Castle, as the sun is about to set.
The sound of retreat horns was heard from the Pabuvian army.
After a day of fierce fighting, the Pabuvian ragtag army breathed a sigh of relief.
They finally survived...
Of the 20,000 miscellaneous troops, 12,000 were killed today...
The remaining 8000 miscellaneous troops were also covered in wounds.
However, the defenders of the Knights' Castle were not having an easy time either.
Because of the desperate charge of these ragtag troops today, the casualties of the Knights Castle defenders increased greatly.
Over 800 soldiers lost their lives today alone.
And more than 100 people were seriously injured.
Only a few dozen soldiers were lightly injured.
Why are there so few soldiers with minor injuries?
Because after the soldiers were slightly injured, they still fought on the front line, continued to fight until they were seriously injured, and finally fell on the city wall...
Of course they knew they could use their injuries as an excuse to withdraw the wall and survive.
I survived today, but what about tomorrow?
If you don't fight with all your might, there will only be one outcome.
The city was destroyed and people died...
Giovadini was ordering his soldiers to gather up the bodies of their fallen comrades.
Looking at the bodies of the soldiers whose voices and faces were still vivid yesterday.
Giovanni could no longer bear it and had 3000 soldiers.
There are only about 1000 people left.
These 3000 soldiers accompanied Giovandini for seven years.
Giovadini witnessed the growth of this army, and this army also witnessed the growth of Giovadini.
But this army is about to be wiped out...
Giovadini patrolled the city and saw that every household was praying to the statue of the Goddess of Light, praying that the defenders of the Knights' Castle would be able to repel the enemy and return alive.
Many civilians were forced to sleep on the streets because their houses were demolished.
But they have no regrets.
Looking at the more than 30,000 civilians in the city, Giovadini smiled with relief.
I fought for a whole day, wasn’t it just for them?
Giovadini never believed in the rhetoric of doing it for the country and the empire.
He just wanted to protect his subjects and ensure that they had enough food and clothing.
Giovadini also heard that there was a powerful country in the west called Dayan.
After resolving the rebellion in the Holy Empire, Giovadini would definitely go to Da Yan to see this rumored extremely powerful country...
At this moment, Silicis once again came to the city.
"Giovanidi, there is no point in defending it any longer. The army will destroy the Knights' Castle tomorrow!
Surrender, if you surrender you will survive!"
Giovadini shook his head.
Sirius was not angry and continued.
"What is the value of this city? Why are you trying so hard to protect it?"
Giovadini shook his head.
“This city is worthless.”
Sirius narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
Giovadini tilted his head to look towards the city where everyone was huddled together for warmth, then turned back to look at Sirius and said.
“But it has supreme value!”
Sirius nodded and left. Both sides had given their answers.
Tomorrow will tell...
