Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

John, blown by the sea breeze, held a telescope in his hand and looked at the fortress city of Chusda in the distance, and the people who were fleeing into the city in panic. Some fishing boats also rowed desperately towards the shore after seeing it.

Stephen came over and said, "Sir, we are already within the artillery range."

Originally, Stephen was in charge of the army's artillery, but due to the problem of ships, some artillery used on land could only be moved to the ships for use. So Stephen now manages both land and sea artillery at the same time.

"Oh, then order the attack," John replied.

"Everyone, fire!" Stephen ordered, and immediately the flag bearer of the Seawolf waved the artillery flag to signal to open fire. The warships on both sides saw it and continued to wave flags. The information spread to the surrounding ships, and the artillerymen of each warship quickly opened the gun ports, pushed the artillery forward, and began to ignite and fire the shells that had been prepared long ago.

"boom!"

As the Sea Wolf opened fire first, the shells fired from the 25 cannons on the right hit the walls of Chusda directly, and the shells fired from the cannons on other ships followed suit and completely covered the southern walls of Chusda. Some Yoda soldiers on the walls who did not have time to load their cannons were hit hard by the whistling shells, and even the cannons installed on the walls were either dented or broken into pieces by the shells.

The soldiers on the city wall were not stupid. Not to mention whether the cannons from 20 years ago could hit the ships on the opposite side, just based on the continuous bombardment from the opposite side, they definitely could not stay on the city wall for the time being, so they ran down the city wall and waited for the bombardment to end.

The city wall that had been exposed to the sea breeze for more than 20 years finally played its due role. Listening to the sound of cannonballs hitting the city wall, Governor Chusda, who felt the power of cannons for the first time, was secretly glad that he did not listen to the idiot colleagues at the time and deduct the cost of building the city wall just because it was not a major battlefield. Otherwise, he would have fallen directly off the city wall when the firing began.

"Master, what should we do now?" Governor Chusda's wife said in panic. She was first frightened by her husband's previous shout, and then she was dragged down the city wall by him at a speed she had not seen in 20 years.

"Don't panic, leave this wall first." Governor Qiusda took his wife away from the wall and ordered the soldiers next to him:

"Tell the soldiers to find some large objects to use as obstacles. When the enemy's shelling stops, it will be time for the enemy to charge. At that time, use these obstacles to block the entrance of the cave, and then use the walls built with these obstacles to attack the enemy from above. Go!"

As the bombardment continued, fragments of the city wall continued to fall, and the soldiers had to run farther away from the city wall, but leaving the city wall did not mean they were safe. Some shells flew into the houses and streets near the city wall.

Seeing this, the confused people could only flee northwards to the church, where they ran head-on into Yoda's reinforcements heading south. Seeing this, Yoda's soldiers could only disperse the people, and the city was in chaos for a while.

With a vibration, a section of the wall that had stood in Grant for 20 years collapsed. Yoda's soldiers hurriedly took all kinds of messy furniture looted from the house and threw them at the gap. After all, no one wanted to see if the other side would fire. Soon a small hill was piled up.

"What are they doing? Putting so many broken furniture into the gap." John looked at the Yoda soldiers' operation with a telescope in confusion.

"Stephen, order the artillery of the warship on the right to make a gap in the section of the city wall where there is no gap, symmetrically on both sides." John ordered. He found that wherever there was a gap, the Yoda people would concentrate on guarding there, so he would open another gap to disperse the troops, so that it would be easier to charge when landing.

Seeing that another gap was about to be opened in another part of the city wall, Governor Qiusda quickly ordered the officer next to him: "Go to the northern military camp and ask those civilized Yoda people to come to support us."

"Sir, the emperor has ordered that no one except the native Yuda people can enter Qiusda." The officer said with embarrassment.

"What kind of order is this? My life is almost gone! Special matters must be handled specially, do you understand? Go quickly!" Governor Qiusida was also anxious. How could there be such a stupid person? He shouted at him.

After the officers hurried north, Governor Chusta looked at the wall worriedly, hoping that it could hold out a little longer.

However, the reality was very cruel. Not long after, cracks began to appear in another section of the city wall, followed by the sound of the wall collapsing and rising dust, and a large gap appeared.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and move the things to fill the gap!" Governor Chusda looked at the Yoda soldiers who were in a panic and did not take any action, and urged them.

After seeing that both sides were opened, John observed and ordered:

"Order the ships carrying the soldiers to head to the port and wait for further instructions at a distance at the port."

"go ahead!"

As the flag bearer gave the order, more than fifty cogs and caravels carrying 5000 soldiers marched towards the port. They did not encounter any counterattack on the way and successfully anchored in the port. John sailed behind the team on the Sea Wolf. Only after the soldiers had complete control of the port did John order the Sea Wolf to move forward.

After getting off the ship, the soldiers took control of the port and captured the Yoda people who were still staying in the port. Then the engineers began to build fortifications and piled various obstacles in front to block the enemy's long-range attacks that could come at any time.

Yoda was not stupid either. He knew that the Midlan people were well prepared, so he guarded the gap directly and stared at John's troops to see who would attack first and suffer.

John saw this and called Stephen: "Bring down those land cannons."

So the Yoda people waited and waited, but what they got was not an attack from the Midlan people, but a lot of Midlan cannons.

"Hmm... let me see what I can use." John looked at the various types of artillery with interest.

"Oh, I see. Let's try this." John made up his mind and ordered:

"Bring up the Greek fire." Soon several artillerymen came up carrying a Greek fire launcher. This is a cannon similar to an organ cannon, but it does not spray shells but flames. Since this type of gun carriage had just been completed, only two were made.

"Load fuel!" After hearing this, the artillerymen hurriedly loaded the fuel into the launcher, and one of the soldiers pointed the muzzle of the gun at the gap blocked by furniture.

"Ignite!" As the fuel was ignited, the launcher spewed out flames, directly rushing towards the gap filled by the wooden furniture.

At first, the Yoda people were wondering why the Midlan people didn't load shells in their cannons. The next second, they were engulfed by the blazing flames, and even the wooden furniture was burned in the flames. The entire gap was in chaos, with either burning furniture or firemen rolling on the ground.

"Sir, shall we go?" asked the centurion of the White Wolf Knights.

"What are you talking about? Don't you see the fire is so big? You're not afraid of getting burned if you go in, right? Wait a little longer." John asked the captain to stay calm while he continued to observe.

When the flames had almost died down, John drew his sword from its scabbard and said to the soldiers:

"Soldiers, follow me! Drive these Yoda dogs into the sea!"
