Shupel Kingdom, eastern border, Bruges.

March 29th.

0:44 a.m.

Schupper kingdom is an "absolutely neutral country" and will never take the initiative to launch a foreign war. At the same time, because it has no value of aggression, according to common sense, neither the British Empire nor the Frankish empire will send troops to attack schupper kingdom.

Nevertheless, as a country, there should be national defense forces.

At any time, a large number of soldiers patrol the walls of Bruges on the eastern border, monitoring the eastern horizon.

"Ha..."

"Is it sleepy to yawn so much?"

"Yes, I drank with someone all night yesterday. Now I'm so sleepy that I'm in a trance."

"You can take a nap now. I'll watch it for you. When the officer comes, I'll wake you up."

"Ah, that's a good idea. I'll trouble you. I'll take a nap first, and then I'll buy you a drink."

Gossip like this can be seen everywhere on the walls of Bruges.

Schupper Kingdom has been peaceful for a long time, no one is interested in attacking it, and it will not take the initiative to attack other countries. Up to the founding of the people's Republic of China, there have been few rebellions in China. Therefore, since the founding of schupper Kingdom, the people have not seen much war.

One of the costs of Chengping for a long time is that the soldiers are a little slack in their usual training and tasks.

According to the regulations of schuper's army, when standing guard and patrolling on the city wall, we should keep twelve points of vigilance, not to mention taking a nap secretly, even whispering is not allowed.

The soldiers standing guard on the wall of Bruges were blatantly violating this military discipline. No one pays attention to this regulation.

Their ideas are surprisingly consistent: anyway, schupper kingdom is so safe that no foreign enemies will attack them. Why do they bother to stand guard and patrol?

The people who hold this idea are not only soldiers, but also many officers in the army.

So even when they see these soldiers gossiping and doing things that have nothing to do with guarding and patrolling, most officers turn a blind eye, or at most just give a loud reprimand.

A few officers even joined the ranks of the soldiers and chatted warmly with the soldiers.

"I tell you, my wife tried to make apple pie the other day. I really don't know how to describe the taste. How on earth did she make apple pie smell like snot... Huh? "

A soldier standing guard on the east wall of Bruges was chatting with several comrades in arms beside him.

Before he had finished, his words suddenly stopped.

After making a strange "um" sound, he frowned and looked at the dark eastern horizon in the distance.

"What's the matter?"

The comrades in arms beside him asked.

"... there seems to be something wrong." He replied in a deep voice, "I seem to see something strange near here..."

The soldier's eyesight is notoriously good.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, his comrades in arms immediately became nervous and asked in a hurry:

"What do you see?"

The soldier, who had not yet seen what was close to Bruges, did not answer the question of his comrade in arms.

Instead, he frowned deeper and took a few steps forward so that he could be closer to the battlements of the city wall.

After approaching the battlements of the city wall, the soldier with excellent eyesight finally saw what was approaching Bruges because of the closer distance.

After seeing the specific appearance of this thing, the soldier's eyes suddenly widened and his pupils narrowed. After taking a deep breath, he screamed bitterly at the highest volume he could reach:

"Enemy attack! There is a large army approaching!! "

As if to respond to the soldier's scream, after the soldier's scream fell, the sound of bow string trembling suddenly sounded in the dark wilderness outside the city.

Then black locusts rose from the dark wilderness outside the city and covered the east wall of Bruges.

In the twinkling of an eye, the dense arrow rain killed and wounded many soldiers who had not yet responded to what had happened.

Cries of pain and howls were heard one after another on the east wall of Bruges.

After the first round of arrow rain fell, the second round of arrow rain came immediately, which did not give any breathing opportunities to the soldiers of schuper army on the city wall.

Under the cover of arrow rain, a long ladder came to the east wall of Bruges.

Then, a large number of soldiers wearing pointed helmets climbed up the long ladder to the east wall of Bruges.

The troops and soldiers coming from the East wear iconic pointed helmets - the identity of this sudden enemy is self-evident.

After seeing the pointed helmets on the heads of the soldiers who climbed the wall, many schuper soldiers shouted:

"It's frank!"

"The Franks invaded us!"

"Why did the Franks invade us?"

……

They could not understand why the Frankish Empire, which was vast in territory and abundant in resources, would launch aggression against a small country like them? Waste valuable military power here.

Neither officers nor soldiers can figure out the answer to this question.

However - it's no use thinking about this now. It's urgent to try to keep Bruges.

In addition to a large number of Frankish soldiers on the east wall, the walls in other directions were also put up long ladders and attacked by the Frankish army.

After a large number of Frankish soldiers boarded the city wall, Bruges's garrison finally realized it and began to resist.

This resistance is doomed to be a wrong resistance.

The soldiers who devoted themselves to this battle were all elite soldiers of the Frankish imperial army.

How can the long-standing schuper army in Chengping be compared with the elite soldiers of the Frankish army in terms of individual combat effectiveness?

In terms of quantity and quality, the schuper army is at an absolute disadvantage.

There are only 2000 defenders in Bruges, and the Frankish army besieging Bruges is like a tide. I don't know how many troops the Frankish army has invested to attack Bruges.

In less than half an hour, the walls of Bruges fell one after another. Bruges's defenders had to retreat to the city and fight in the street with the Frankish army.

Bruges' garrison is just surviving. It's only a matter of time for them to be wiped out and Bruges to fall into the hands of the Frankish Army

……

……

Bruges, outside the city, the first formation of the Frankish army, this formation.

Riding on a tall horse, bazel looked at Bruges in the distance with cold eyes without any emotional color.

A general rode his horse slowly to bazel's side and reported to bazel:

"General Ludendorff, all the defenders in the city have been wiped out, and Bruges has been captured by our army."

"Yes." Bazel nodded, and then gave orders to the generals around him, "1000 people will be assigned to guard Bruges, and the rest will continue to march! Within 7 days - destroy schuper! "
