Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

At this moment, General Adam was confused. He didn't know why his plan was known in advance, nor did he know why a castle suddenly appeared on the plains that he had clearly scouted.

"If it's true as they say, then they must have known all my battle plans. But retreating like this would be too humiliating," General Adam thought.

"Artillery, prepare to place the cannons." After thinking it over, General Adam decided to go all out and try out the effectiveness of this batch of cannons first. The caliber of the cannons made by Yoda is roughly the same as the ones bought by John, or it can be said that they are pure imitations. Except for the decorative patterns, everything else is similar.

"Everyone crawl down and take cover from the city walls. Don't show your heads. Block the city gate with something." Hank on the city wall quickly asked the soldiers to squat down to prevent being directly hit by artillery shells.

30 minutes later

"Are you done? Why are you so slow?" Adam said anxiously.

"General, although this cannon is small in size, it is still very heavy. It takes at least five or six people to operate it." The artillery officer said quickly. This was the first time he handled this thing. All of his artillerymen learned it from the Southern Kingdom artillery officers of the Military Academy. This battle was his first time to use it.

It took a few more minutes to adjust the angle of the cannon, and then I started loading the shells.

"Sir, please cover your ears," the artillery officer said to Adam while firing.

"Why, isn't it just a loud noise? What's the big deal?" Adam didn't think much of it. He had never used a cannon, but he had heard of some. But no matter how loud the noise was, how big could it be?

"Ready, fire!" The artillery officer had no choice but to order the fire, then found a place to plug his ears.

"Boom!" Ten cannons fired at the same time. The noise caused Yoda's troops to fall to the ground. Some horses did not listen to the soldiers' commands and began to run around. Yoda's troops had to reorganize many times before they could get the entire army in line again.

When the smoke cleared, General Adam quickly asked his soldiers to see what was happening on the other side.

"Sir, it's too dark and we can't see clearly," the artillery officer replied quickly.

"Did the shell hit or miss?" Adam asked.

"Judging from the sound, it should have been hit." The artillery officer didn't know either and could only respond based on his intuition.

"I knew that your artillerymen are useless. Tell the infantry regiment to prepare ladders and siege cones and attack!" Adam also knew that this artillery officer was useless, so he thought that he would never use artillery again. Not only was it useless, but it also delayed time. How could he demonstrate the advantages of his ancestors' lightning tactics?

"Infantry, forward!" Yoda's officers quickly commanded the infantry to move forward. Because it was night, they also tied a torch to the flag.

"Woo woo woo!" Yoda's bugler blew the charge, indicating the beginning of Yoda's first round of attack.

"Get up, everyone. Yoda dog is coming. Shoot arrows quickly!" Hank saw the enemy start to attack and urged the soldiers to get up and shoot arrows.

The crossbowmen who had been prepared long ago began to shoot arrows at the soldiers in front of the city gate. For a while, the wailing of Yoda's army resounded in the dark night. The crossbowmen were not stupid. After shooting an arrow, they quickly squatted down to prevent Yoda's troops from ambushing them. With such a huge disparity in casualties, Yoda's troops gradually approached the city wall.

"One, two, put up the ladder!" Four Yoda soldiers put the ladder on the city wall. When the soldiers on the city wall saw the ladder coming up, they quickly pushed it towards the outside of the city wall with forks. The Yoda soldiers also pushed hard inward and let Yoda's infantry go up. However, the crossbowmen were not vegetarians either. As long as anyone dared to climb the ladder, they would shoot at him, causing no one in Yoda's troops to dare to go up.

However, the numerical disadvantage was finally revealed. More and more Yoda soldiers began to put up ladders, so that as soon as the defenders knocked down one ladder, three more were put up. Many Yoda's soldiers also climbed the ladders to attack the city walls while using shields for cover. At the same time, siege cones also reached the bottom of the castle. Yoda's soldiers operated the siege cones and began to hit the city gate again and again.

"I told you, as long as Yoda's troops start attacking, no one can stop them. Our Yoda's troops are the best troops in the entire continent, especially my General Adam's troops." General Adam laughed loudly after seeing this, and at the same time kept bragging about the strength of his own troops, which attracted a round of boasting and flattery from his subordinates.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook, scaring General Adam.

"Huh? What happened? Was there an earthquake?" General Adam asked when he saw that the situation was not right.

Behind Yoda's troops, a Midlan cavalry unit was charging towards them. Because it was difficult to see clearly at night, the sound of the cavalry's trampling could be heard all around.

"Damn, we fell into a trap set by the cunning Midlanders." General Adam knew he had fallen into a trap as soon as he saw it, and immediately ordered his troops to return to defend. However, most of the troops had gone to attack the city, and there were only more than 1000 Blue Whale Heavy Armored Knights cavalry left with Adam. According to General Adam's conjecture, they would definitely not be able to break through the enemy head-on, and now the siege troops could not break in either.

So in full view of the Mitlan and Yoda soldiers, General Adam abandoned his soldiers and ran away, taking his knights around the castle and running towards the heart of Xibalden, leaving the soldiers staring in disbelief as they were surrounded by enemy forces from front and back. The Yoda soldiers were in chaos without anyone to command them.

Charlie and his cavalry took a look and thought, wow, it’s just the right time to defeat them one by one. He divided the cavalry into several groups and cut Yoda’s soldiers into several groups.

After Hank dealt with the siege troops, he ordered the gate to be opened, held up torches, and led his soldiers to attack the surrounded Yoda army directly.

“Ahhh!!! My hand!”

"Who pushed me!"

In the darkness, the Yoda soldiers had no idea who was facing them and just drew their swords and attacked. On the contrary, although the Midlan troops attacked, they did not go deep into the enemy. Instead, they surrounded the enemy and killed any Yoda soldiers who were alone.

So after a desperate fight, the remaining Yoda soldiers saw that there was no hope of breaking out and had no choice but to surrender on the spot.

In this battle, the Governor's army killed 3,000 enemies and captured 4,000 Yoda soldiers, while the rest fled to the heart of Xibalden.

"Don't we need to worry about those escaped cavalrymen? General Adam is right there," asked Special Envoy Yoda at the celebration banquet and the Yoda Envoy's appeasement ceremony.

"Don't worry about it. If my calculation is correct, your General Adam will most likely encounter the supporting troops sent by our governor. By the time we return to Binsey, the grass on Adam's grave will be two meters high. Oh, by the way, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name?" Charlie asked after looking down on Adam.

"Eugene, Eugene Stephens"

The early morning light shines on the West Barden Plain, and the vast grassland is in full view. There is only one hill that easily blocks the view, but it is also an excellent viewing spot.

General Adam led his knights to gallop across the grassland. After finding that there were no enemy troops tracking them, he suddenly laughed out loud, leaving everyone puzzled.

"Why is the general laughing?" one of his men asked.

General Adam laughed and said: "I laugh at Midland's lack of strategy and the enemy's lack of wisdom." Then he pointed to the hill with his hand.

"If the enemy general of Midland ambushed tens of thousands of troops here, we would definitely not be able to escape. Unfortunately, no matter how smart General Midland is, he could not have thought that we could escape. This is the shelling tactic that has been passed down in our family for hundreds of years." General Adam analyzed while proudly introducing their family's ancestral tactics.

Then he noticed a group of people suddenly emerging from the hill.
