Chapter 521 Victory?
This time, Chris's snow palanquin was not far from the battlefield.
In the hazy light, he could even see the gray city walls of Hedy Square.
Compared to kingdoms, most of the frozen continents do not build their city walls too high.
This region rarely sees war, but conflicts between wizards are frequent.
However, the walls' functionality is greatly diminished when faced with wizards of diverse abilities.
Therefore, apart from major towns and fortresses, there were almost no city walls.
This is why Chris's army was able to advance rapidly and capture several cities in a short period of time.
His central plaza allows him to rapidly expand his territory.
It is easy to attack but difficult to defend, so the defensive forces deployed on the flanks are a deployment that Chris considers superfluous but very necessary.
Hedy Square is located in Qianzhong Town, but to be honest, the city walls are not very high.
There was only one tower on the west side, so Chris chose to concentrate his forces and attack the city gates on the southeast and southwest sides.
He was very satisfied, as observing the battle up close made it easier to have precise control over the troops.
Of course, this also means greater danger.
But this time Chris wasn't worried; he knew the battle would end quickly.
Even with the utmost caution, Chris's previous attacks inevitably revealed his movements to the enemy beforehand.
Therefore, at least a week before Chris's troops arrived, the soldiers in Hedy Square were in excellent defensive condition.
Moreover, Chris also needs to arrange manpower to make siege ladders and battering rams.
Even if they can be done simultaneously.
But the time spent is different.
But this time is different.
Chris deliberately abandoned the siege equipment at a distance that wasn't too far, but too troublesome for the people inside the city to retrieve.
Upon his return, he only needed to order his troops to retake it.
More importantly, the enemy would never have expected Chris to launch a surprise attack.
Chris's withdrawal was timed perfectly to coincide with nightfall.
The people inside the city have been fighting for days and must be exhausted.
Even so, it is impossible to relax immediately.
At most a few hours, those soldiers who were still fighting should be allowed to rest.
Chris chose this moment to launch his counterattack.
Faced with the surprise attack by Chris's main force, the soldiers were bound to panic.
Amidst the chaos, the difficulty of commanding operations is greatly increased.
In fact, according to Chris's observation, the counterattack organized on the city wall was indeed very chaotic and did not cause any effective damage to Chris's troops.
In this way, the process of breaking down the goal is greatly limited in terms of interference.
All they need to do is breach the city gates and allow his troops to enter.
The wizard legion's frontal combat capabilities should now be put to use.
If all goes well, the crushing should be completed.
Therefore, Chris judged that this battle would not last long.
Chris felt that he was truly a "genius" for coming up with this strategy.
He couldn't help but laugh—I really am a born king!
Perhaps this is fate reminding him that he might be able to rule the entire icy land with his military talent.
Of course, Chris's plan has a fatal flaw.
That is, the premise of the strategy is that the enemy needs to reorganize.
Chris's army had also fought for a long time and was exhausted from their journey.
Logically speaking, one's own soldiers need rest more than the enemy's.
But Chris knew very well that his unit was a wizarding force.
Chris can use witchcraft and alchemical potions to maintain their energy.
In addition to brewing potions for him, the alchemists under his command also used spices and poppies to create a new, extremely effective alchemical potion.
This stuff, even a tiny bit, can put a person in a state of euphoria.
However, once the effects of the medication wear off, it can leave a person in a state of extreme lethargy.
His mental state cannot be restored unless he takes the alchemical elixir again.
Although the drug's efficacy still needs to be tested, Chris is willing to bet that the side effects are definitely more than that.
But it doesn't matter, those soldiers are just consumables anyway.
They had already taken the potion and didn't have much time left to live. Suffering from some side effects wouldn't make their suffering last too long.
Therefore, Chris's surprise attack was also based on this alchemical drug.
Of course, Chris's ability to think of using it in warfare is also a testament to his talent.
If there's anything else helping Chris, it's the blizzard.
It made Chris's army harder to detect, greatly improving the quality and effectiveness of the surprise attack.
The blizzard was also an obstacle, but Chris's troops were already used to marching in the snow.
After all, Chris wasn't worried about them freezing to death.
In short, the war is progressing smoothly.
The storm, like a giant white bird, hovered over Hedy Square.
Chris heard its roar, which didn't sound like it was tearing apart the old bricks of the city wall.
It will collapse—Chris was certain—and if I take it down, I'll have already won half the battle.
Hedy Square was a key point on the enemy's supply lines; without its control, all the land to its west would have been Chris's.
Moreover, by holding the city firmly, they could easily withstand counterattacks and retaliations from the east.
The enemy will eventually sue for peace, then Chris can enjoy his life as king without worry!
"Rush!"
"kill!"
A deafening, sudden shout from ahead made Chris's lips curl into a smile.
Moody arrived late to report: "Elders! We've successfully breached the city gates!"
I already know, you idiot: "Very few. Send a single unit to take the enemy's command post directly. You go with them and arrange a makeshift ceremonial guard to welcome their God into the city!"
Moody left to relay Chris's instructions.
With the outcome decided, Chris climbed into the snow sedan chair and led the way.
Chris savored the victory while brainstorming how he could make an even more impressive entrance next time.
He pulled down his collar—it was warm inside!
When his snow palanquin arrived at the command camp, the city was basically under the control of his army.
The snow palanquin stopped, but he did not immediately disembark. He waited for someone to call out, "Elder, the enemy general has been captured."
Chris then slowly walked out and immediately saw the imposing honor guard and all his subordinates and generals, including Moody, kneeling to greet him.
Meanwhile, the opposing command battalion members were all bound to the ground, staring intently at Chris with resentful eyes.
snort!
He stepped onto the snow and lifted his cloak.
The blizzard whipped the cloak around, making it flutter like a flag.
"Hoo-hoo~"
Listening to the bugle call that resounded through the sky—
I must have been incredibly proud!
Chris stepped forward and stared at the general at the front.
"Pah!" He spat at Chris.
Moody stepped forward himself, punched the other man, and then slammed his face to the ground.
Chris, unfazed, bent down: "You disagree?"
"A despicable victory!"
"Ha!" Chris laughed. "Not at all—"
"Hoo-hoo~"
"————Hate deception————" Chris frowned. "Alright, Moody, tell the horn player to stop blowing."
"Elder, that bugle call sounds like—"
Moody's face showed horror. "It's an enemy attack!"
