Chapter 1079 The beginning of the defense of Pendragon
The sun gradually rises from the eastern horizon.
The warm dawn spreads over the earth and illuminates everything.
Britannia Empire, Pandragorn, the rebel camp outside the city, the main formation.
As soon as dawn was dawn, Allen stood above the formation, frowned and looked at Pandragong, who had been surrounded by him.
Since the army arrived at the city of Pandragorn at dusk yesterday, this imperial capital, which had been seen many times before and had lived in a long time, gave him a sense of incongruity.
There is a strange feeling that is indescribable and unknown.
Pandragorn is a little…too quiet.
There were not many soldiers patrolling the city, nor did they hear any noise coming from the city.
Allen couldn't help but have a question - did the Central Committee of the Britannian Empire give up Pandragon?
Because of the huge difference in combat power between the enemy and us, we decided to give up Pandragon and evacuate to the safe western rear - this is not something impossible.
Allen spent the night with the question of "Did the Central Committee of the Britannian Empire give up Pandragon?"
At dawn, Allen couldn't wait to walk out of the big tent where he lived and began to make an attack.
After a while, all the troops responsible for the attack will be in place and then the attack on Pandragorn will be launched.
Whether the central government of the Britannian Empire really gave up Pandragon—the answer to this question will be known only after Allen leads his army to launch an attack.
Just as Allen looked at Pandragong in the distance, a male voice suddenly rang behind Allen-
"Good morning, Allen, you got up so early."
"Good morning." Allen said in a calm tone that was neither salty nor light, "I usually get up at this time."
The master of this male voice was Eber, the first spy of the Frank Empire.
After Allen successfully launched a mutiny on the banks of the Yenny River, Ebel and Allen were briefly separated.
The reason why Eber separated from Allen briefly was to go to Pandragon to sabotage—spread rumors that Ilsa is dead and disrupt Pandragon’s people and military morale.
The day before yesterday, when Allen and his army were about to come to the city of Pandragon, Eber finally got along with Allen, who had been away for a long time.
Eber walked a few steps forward and came to Alan's side, shoulder to shoulder with Alan, looking at Pandragon in the distance together.
Looking at the majestic city in the distance, Eber couldn't recognize it and sighed in a low voice:
"Finally... our Franks' long-cherished wish is finally coming true..."
"We are finally going to capture the capital of the Britannian Empire..."
"We have been waiting for this day for more than a hundred years... for more than a hundred years... It's really too long and too difficult..."
Allen ignored Ebel's feelings.
He interrupted directly:
"Eber, do you know what happened to Pandragon these days?"
Alan interrupted his feelings, making Ebel unable to help but look at Alan with an unhappy look.
But Eber is a person with clear public and private affairs, and Eber will not be vague in dealing with matters related to the serious matters - especially the capture of Pandragon.
"I don't know." Eber shrugged, "Since Gael became the Regent, he has increased his search for spies in Pandragon."
"With such a search force, even I can easily get caught."
"So after Gael became the Regent, I left Pandragon and hid outside Pandragon."
"So, since Gail became the Regent, I don't know what happened in the city of Pandragon."
Speaking of this, Ebert paused as if he had remembered something.
Then added:
"However - a few days ago, the central government of the Britannian Empire seemed to have increased its efforts to evacuate citizens in the city."
"Evacuation?" Allen asked back with a frown.
"Yeah." Eber nodded, "About 20 days ago, a large number of citizens left Pandragon, and it was the government's people who helped the citizens evacuate, because I saw a large number of officials and soldiers dressed in them leading and assisting these citizens to leave Pandragon."
After Ebel finished speaking, Allen murmured:
"Did the Central Committee of the Britannian Empire strongly assist the citizens in withdrawing from Pandragorn... This is a noteworthy intelligence."
...
...
When the clock hand pointed to the number "7", the troops responsible for attacking Pandragorn were finally ready.
An attack on Pandragorn is available at any time.
After learning that the troops were ready for the attack, Allen did not wait any more.
He waved the order directly and issued an offensive order.
The army, which resisted the long ladder, rushed towards Pandragon from all directions.
The crossbowmen followed closely behind, ready to shoot Pandragon's city wall at any time and cover and shoot for their comrades.
They were going to go to the Rhineland Plain to fight the hundreds of thousands of Frank troops.
Because we were going to fight in the wild, the army did not carry any siege equipment.
Allen had only a few short ladders that were temporarily made.
As for large siege equipment such as siege towers, catapults, and siege crossbows, there was nothing under Allen's command.
This kind of large siege equipment cannot be made temporarily. Therefore, Allen could only ask his subordinates to rush to build a large number of long ladders and then use these long ladders to siege the city.
Generally speaking, relying solely on the long ladder to come to the city of Gong, especially to attack large cities of Pandragon, is completely a matter of seeking death.
However, even though there were only a few long ladders on hand, Allen had sufficient confidence to capture Pandragon.
Because he knew that there was no military force in Pandragon City that threatened him at all.
If there are not enough soldiers, no matter how high or thick the city wall is, what's the use?
Soon, the siege soldiers quickly approached Pandragon's walls and entered the shooting range of the crossbow.
But at this moment - something strange happened.
After the soldiers entered the shooting range of the crossbow, no arrow shot out from the walls of Pandragon.
The walls of Pandragon are still quiet...
Allen stayed in the group and paid attention to Pandragon's movements.
After seeing no arrow shot out from Pandragorn's wall, Allen's brows frowned instantly.
The brow was so tight that it could kill a mosquito.
Also frowned, Eber, who was standing beside Alan.
"Strange..." Eber murmured, "Does Pandragorn have no defenders now?"
Allen didn't speak.
He continued to frown and stared at the extremely quiet Pandragorn in the distance.
Allen's troops arrived at the city of Pandragon without any injuries.
Then each long ladder was successfully mounted on the walls of Pandragon.
Then, the soldiers couldn't wait to follow the long ladders to climb the walls of Pandragon.
