Berserk, Total War: Second Son of Nobles

While John was fighting hard, the soldiers on the east and west walls were also engaged in a tough battle. The Yoda people on the opposite side took advantage of the narrow space on the city walls and used arrow towers as strongholds to block the enemy. It often took the soldiers a lot of time to capture an arrow tower.

"At this rate, by the time we reach the north wall, Lord John in the city will probably have finished the battle!" The centurion in charge of commanding the east wall said to the adjutant next to him while using his shield to block the Yoda people's arrows.

"Sir, the only way to the north wall is from the west wall and the east wall. If you go down the wall, you will encounter those Yoda soldiers in the city." The adjutant responded, also holding up a shield.

"Is there anything that can knock down these arrow towers?" The centurion thought while looking around, and finally he found the cannons scattered on the city wall and the shells next to them.

"You, find a few people and quickly ask Lord John for a few artillerymen. The rest of you carry the cannons and retreat!"

So under the attack of rain of arrows, the soldiers retreated to the south city wall with the wounded, dragging cannons and shells.

On the main road here, because some Yodas kept rushing out from the alleys, although John had set up a defensive formation, he was still suppressed on the spot because of too few people.

"Musketeers, fire forward!"

Seeing that the artillery could not be fired temporarily, John immediately ordered the fire team to move forward for long-range output.

This time, the musket troops John brought were very small, only 200 people, some of whom were mushket musket soldiers, some were musket skirmishers, and some were musket skirmishers. Fortunately, the main road here was wide, which could accommodate about 30 soldiers side by side.

About 120 skirmishers lined up in four rows, holding short-barreled muskets and pointing them at the Yoda crowd that was rushing in like a tide. This short-barreled musket had a short range but was quick to reload, which was suitable for the current situation.

"First row, open fire!" As the commander of the musketeers waved his sword and gave the order, a row of skirmishers pulled the trigger. In an instant, dozens of puffs of smoke dissipated, and thirty bullets were fired at the crowd in the distance. From time to time, someone was shot and fell to the ground, or was hit in the limbs and wailed in pain. However, after all, there was no deterrent effect like artillery, and more Yoda people still charged towards John's troops.

"First row, crouch down. Second row, fire!" As the commander swung his knife again, the second row repeated the actions of the first row and pulled the trigger. Another thirty bullets hit the crowd, with people constantly falling down or wailing.

The Yoda people charging in front also felt something was wrong. Looking at the muzzle of the gun on the opposite side, no matter how stupid the Yoda people were, they knew that this might be a secret weapon made by the Midlan people. If they charged like this and waited for the next shot, there was a high probability that they would die. For a moment, fear overwhelmed everything, and the Yoda people in front retreated one after another.

The people at the back only heard the sound but couldn't see what was in front, yet they still rushed forward. As a result, the Yodas at both ends squeezed each other, and with the addition of obstacles such as corpses on the road, the entire team was stuck in the middle of the road and unable to move.

While the cannon was being loaded, John looked at the crowd in front and decided to quickly clear out the Yodas in front and then clear out the sides.

"Artillery, fire!" As another round of artillery shells hit the crowd, the Yoda people finally realized the fear of artillery and began to retreat, leaving only corpses on the ground.

"Look, sir, our people are trying to come over from behind." At this moment, the knight next to him saw the adjutant coming to ask for the artillery, but he and the soldiers guarding him were surrounded by a group of Yoda people and could not escape.

"White Wolf Knights, kill all the Yodas behind us." With John's order, 1000 White Wolf Knights formed a charge formation and attacked the Yodas behind them. The soldiers who were resisting saw the knights charging from behind and quickly evacuated to both sides.

Before the Yoda people could react, they were chopped into pieces by the knights rushing towards them.

The weapons of the White Wolf Knights are mostly long swords, double-edged guns, and giant axes, which are suitable for using invincible weapons when surrounded by enemies in open terrain. It just so happens that most of the people on the opposite side are armed Yoda civilians without armor. They can just go in and swing at the crowd, and the weapons in their hands can kill multiple enemies.

Like wolves entering a flock of sheep, the knights swung their weapons. If they couldn't break the target once, they would strike again. The knights, who had undergone long-term training and battle trials, were least afraid of slashing.

Some Yodas also thought about fighting back, but it was of no avail because the weapons in their hands were all obsolete and could not even break the enemy's armor. They often broke when they hit the knights' armor.

Faced with the increasing casualties, the Yoda people who had no organization had no choice but to flee in all directions. This running directly caused a group effect. When the other Yoda people saw that they had all run away, they thought, "Why should I waste time here?" and they also ran into the nearby residential area.

At this time, the White Wolf Knight came to John with his breathless adjutant.

"Sir, the attack on the city wall has been thwarted. We need artillery to take down all these arrow towers!" After seeing John, the adjutant quickly stated his purpose.

"Stephen, give him a team of artillerymen, and send some of the others to take the wounded out of the city. The rest will continue to move forward with me. We will kill any armed men we encounter on the spot."

Taking advantage of the enemy's rout, John would be sorry for the dead and wounded soldiers if he didn't directly raid the enemy's lair. With the White Wolf Knights fighting like crazy, John's troops pushed directly to the church.

The people in the church first saw the Yoda armed civilians and soldiers fleeing back from the front line, and then they saw the Midlan soldiers rushing over from the opposite side.

The bishop quickly ordered people to force the gate shut, directly blocking the Yoda people who had escaped back from the front outside the gate, and blocked the gate with benches and other large objects.

The Yoda soldiers outside the church kept banging on the door while shouting and cursing, but when they saw that it was useless, they all fled in all directions.

After seeing that the door was closed, John directly ordered his men to blast the door open with cannons. With a burst of cannon fire, the church door was blasted open. The Yoda people, who were already frightened and at a loss, screamed like larks when they saw the Midland soldiers, and then ran around the room.

John didn't care how loud you screamed. He rubbed his ears and said to his soldiers: "Tie up the clergy and kill anyone else who dares to threaten you, regardless of gender, age or status."

While John was clearing out the Yodas, the war on the city wall was steadily progressing.

After receiving artillery support, the soldiers on the east wall immediately began to bombard the arrow towers on the wall. As the arrow towers were pulled down one by one, the east wall also fell into the hands of the soldiers. Then the soldiers occupied the north wall as they did the east wall, and directly besieged the west wall from two sides.

Looking at the tied-up clergymen and the Yoda people who were circled together in the city, John couldn't help but think about how to deal with these people. After all, they have been an unstable factor since they fought against the Midlan army. Letting them go directly would definitely endanger John's rule here. If he killed them all, firstly he would bear the infamy, and secondly he would come into enmity with the Hall of the King of Law, which would not be good for John's plan.

However, now is not the time to think about this, let’s deal with the garrison in the inner castle first.

On the wall of the inner castle, the panicked Governor Chusta quickly closed the gate after fleeing into the inner castle and observed the situation outside with a telescope. After seeing the church fall, he felt that the current situation could not be defended any longer.

After a few seconds of mental struggle, Governor Chusda was ready to do something that would go against Emperor Yuda and surrender.

So while the battle was still going on outside, a white flag was raised over the castle, and then Yoda's messenger conveyed the peace talks to John.

As the city gate opened, the Yoda soldiers inside walked out one after another. Then, under the command of the soldiers, they threw away their weapons and were divided into two groups according to the officers, squatting with their heads in their hands.

The war on the city wall ended with the governor's surrender. After the White Wolf Knights entered the castle, the entire Chusda officially fell into John's hands.
