Chapter 435 The Whole Army Retreats, You Should Thank Me (1/2)

Chapter 435 The whole army retreats, you should thank me

Aaron saw the archers aiming on the city wall and knew that he couldn't slack off.

It's okay to watch the show, but you still have to be careful.

Those who participated in the raid were all Narnia's elite. If they suffered heavy losses in this siege, the subsequent battles would be even more difficult to fight.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three gunshots fell very clearly into everyone's ears, and both sides who were fighting couldn't help but pause for a moment.

After a short silence, the centaur leader shouted loudly, "Retreat, retreat quickly."

The Narnians gave up their opponents and rushed to the city gate.

Aaron turned a few guns, put away the silver pistol, and then quietly retreated outside the city gate.

He has done this step with no regrets, at least he has preserved Narnia's combat power to the maximum extent.

"Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly." Miraz roared angrily.

In his opinion, tonight should be a beautiful defense of Tanmore.

Although it was a little exciting, as long as the invading enemies were wiped out, everything would be worth it.

Kill Caspian and he would be the only heir to the throne.

Annihilate the Narnians and he would fulfill the last wish of his ancestors.

This achievement was enough for him to inherit the throne legitimately, and the elders of the parliament could not find any fault with it.

But if they were allowed to escape, there would be a flaw in this defense, just like a thorn in the heart.

Peter was also confused. He didn't expect Aaron to have a second gun, and he didn't expect him to send a retreat signal without him.

He was planning to rush to the castle to capture Miraz, but once the retreat signal was sent out, he had no other people to cover him, and going up alone would be a death sentence.

"Go, Peter." Susan shouted loudly.

Peter's chest was heaving violently with anger, but whether he wanted to or not, he could only retreat now.

"Take her out." Peter said to the centaur leader, asking him to take Susan away.

He stayed in the city and tried to evacuate the wounded as much as possible.

"Where's Caspian?" Susan asked as she passed the city gate.

"I didn't see him." Aaron said truthfully, "If nothing unexpected happened, he went to rescue his teacher.

Don't think too much, the retreat signal has been sent out, as long as he is not deaf, he will know where to run."

Susan was speechless and followed the centaur leader to leave.

Edmund also heard the gunshots, but there were pursuers behind him and dozens of meters high walls in front of him. He really had no way to go.

Fortunately, the griffin that sent him here seemed to have discovered his helplessness at the moment, and flew over quickly, grabbed his shoulders and took him up to the sky.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

The soldiers on the tower worked hard to cut off a chain, and a large bag of stones tied to it fell down.

This is an emergency control device that can temporarily close the city gate and the drawbridge, in order to deal with the current situation and prevent the enemy from escaping.

The city gate began to descend, and the drawbridge outside began to rise slowly.

More than 80% of the Narnia army withdrew, but the remaining part was far away from the city gate and had no time to retreat.

Seeing this, a human bull immediately stood under the city gate and carried the gate weighing thousands of pounds by himself, giving others a chance to escape.

At this time, a side door in the castle suddenly broke open, and Caspian and Cornelius rushed out.

They each rode a horse, and Caspian also led one to Peter.

Peter did not hesitate, and immediately jumped on the horse and rushed to the city gate.

"Attack, order an attack." Miraz said.

"But our people are still down there." The general said in embarrassment.

Miraz didn't care about that. He took the crossbow from the general and said, "Attack now."

If the Narnians escaped, they would escape. At most, he would lead troops to encircle and suppress them after the bridge was built.

But he couldn't let Caspian escape. This was a threat to his throne and his son.

Moreover, Caspian now knew the cause of his father's death. There was no room for easing between them. Caspian would never let him go once he succeeded in seizing the throne.

Dense crossbow arrows shot at the city gate, and many Narnians fell on the way of retreat.

The bull's thigh was also shot by a crossbow arrow, but he continued to persist.

"Tough guy!" Aaron exclaimed, "To be honest, I don't like you like this, but I still admire your behavior very much."

"Don't talk nonsense, leave here quickly, I can't hold on for long." The bull said in a muffled voice, "After I fall, not only the city gate will be closed, but also the drawbridge."

Hearing this, Aaron sighed and walked into the city gate again.

"You're crazy, hurry up and leave!"

"Help them to the end. After all, I was the one who sent the retreat signal.

It's a bit inappropriate to stand by and watch." Aaron said as he drew out his sword and split several arrows shot at the bull. "But let me say this in advance. I can only block the crossbows shot at you, but I can't take care of others."

The bull fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

In the next few minutes, Aaron kept swinging his sword, with a clear rhythm and no unnecessary movements.

After everyone left, in addition to several corpses, there were dozens or even hundreds of arrows shot down in front of the city gate.

Not to mention the bull, even the Tanmo soldiers, the general, the king, and even Peter and others on the other side of the suspension bridge were stunned.

They seemed to have returned to the time when they first learned swordsmanship, and Aaron was the swordsmanship instructor, demonstrating top-level swordsmanship.

"Kill him." Miraz murmured, with a hint of fear in his expression, "We must kill him, his threat is too great."

"But... Your Majesty, our archers can't do anything to him."

"Then we'll fight in close combat. I believe he can beat a dozen, but he will definitely not be able to stop dozens." Miraz said coldly, "And the bull is still there, he won't retreat easily."

The general nodded, and immediately ordered fifty soldiers to kill towards the city gate.

"Almost."

"It's almost." The bull said with relief, "You can go now. It's lucky for the emperors to have a friend like you."

"Maybe!" Aaron shrugged, then kicked the bull in the abdomen and kicked him to the suspension bridge.

Clank!

The huge and heavy iron gate fell quickly, picking up a layer of dust on the ground.

"You..."

The bull hurriedly climbed up and ran to the city gate, trying to lift the gate.

But he had consumed too much energy and couldn't lift the city gate at all.

"Why are you here? The suspension bridge will rise soon."

"What are you going to do?"

"I'm sure I'll be fine." Aaron said confidently, then squatted sideways, grabbed the iron gate with one hand and slowly lifted it up.

Gulp!

The sound of swallowing saliva came one after another.

The bull turned around immediately and ran out with his injured leg.

The general and dozens of soldiers stopped in astonishment when they saw this scene. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that humans actually have such strength.

One hand can carry a thousand-pound iron gate. There must be a limit to joking!

"With only fifty people, can we win?" The general thought doubtfully, thinking that at least a hundred people would be needed to take down Aaron.

"Hurry up!" Miraz shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Kill him now!"

The general came to his senses and immediately ordered, "Kill."

Dozens of people launched a charge again, but it was still a step too late. When they rushed to the front, the iron gate had been carried to the height of Aaron's shoulders.

"Goodbye."

Bang!

Aaron turned over and jumped out of the city gate.

As the gate fell, the drawbridge outside began to rise slowly.

Aaron did not delay. He took a run-up and jumped high when the drawbridge was halfway up. He landed steadily on the other side of the drawbridge after crossing a distance of five or six meters.

"You..." Caspian opened his mouth in astonishment, "Are you really human?"

"Fifteen years old?" Susan's eyes twitched constantly.

"Don't insult my noble character with your suspicious eyes." Aaron rolled his eyes and said, "Don't stand here, we are at the city gate!"

"Retreat."

Peter had no choice but to order and led the Narnia army out of the castle.

Aaron took out Lucy's medicine bottle on the way and asked Susan to treat the wounded, so as not to affect the speed of advancement.

At dawn, everyone just returned to the bunker.

However, compared with before, the atmosphere in the team was a little more depressed.

"What's wrong?" Lucy asked worriedly.

"Obviously, it failed." Aaron shrugged casually, and then returned the medicine bottle to Lucy, "This thing is really useful, saving a lot of wounded people!"

"I was wondering why it disappeared." Lucy said speechlessly, but it was hard to blame anything.

"You should give me back my gun!" Aaron looked at Peter meaningfully and asked.

He pursed his lips and returned the revolver.

"You have a second gun, why didn't you tell us?"

"You didn't ask!

Besides, I'm not familiar with you, and I really don't dare to hand over the weapon without a backup plan."

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation for the retreat signal?" Peter said with a bad look.

"You should thank me." Aaron said confidently, "From the moment the alarm in the castle was sounded, we no longer had any advantage.

You insisted on launching an attack, and I didn't stop you. After all, there will always be casualties in war, and we are all mentally prepared for this.

But when you are at a disadvantage, you should act decisively, and you were so confused at that time. If I hadn't sent the retreat signal in time, when Miraz closed the city gate, what awaited us was the annihilation of our army."

"I want to capture the thief first, and take down Miraz..."

"Great." Aaron clapped his hands, "But the premise is that you have to fight your way to the top of the tower. Even if the soldiers fighting ignore you, you only need to kill about 40 guards."

"I have other people to cover me." Peter said unconvinced.

"I don't deny it." Aaron nodded, "But at that time, two rows of archers were already in place. Are you going to fight your way up in the rain of arrows?

Even if you are lucky enough to kill your way up, I'm afraid that only one in ten of Narnia's army will survive."

"Your gun is in my hand. It's still possible as long as there is a chance to get close."

"Haha!" Aaron couldn't help laughing, "Excuse me, you should have never touched a gun!

How confident are you in your shooting skills?"

"This..." Peter was speechless. At that time, there were many guards next to Miraz. If the first shot didn't kill him, there would be no second chance.

"You should be able to kill him, right?" Caspian asked tentatively.

"Yes, you have a second gun." Peter seemed to have grasped the point, "Your shooting skills are so good, if you..."

"Stop." Aaron said speechlessly, "I was at the city gate at the time, and Miraz was on the city wall.

It's a joke to kill a well-protected king with a pistol from a distance of hundreds of meters."

Aaron has a clear understanding of himself. His shooting skills are good, but there is still a big gap from hitting the target every time.

At a distance of hundreds of meters, unless he replaces the pistol with a sniper rifle, he really can't hit.

But he can't explain clearly when he takes out the two guns. He doesn't want to use magic in front of so many people.

"By the way, you and Susan together couldn't take down Miraz?"

When Peter heard this, he was immediately furious and glared at Caspian fiercely, "You have to ask our prince about this."

"Me?"

"If you had followed the plan, we wouldn't have been so embarrassed."

"I admit that I am responsible." Caspian took a deep breath, "It's really hard to stay calm when facing the murderer of my father..."

"The murderer of my father?" Aaron immediately showed an interested expression, and a drama of brothers fighting openly and secretly for the throne emerged in his mind.

"It has nothing to do with you." Caspian's mouth twitched slightly, and he continued: "Even if I follow the plan, we may not succeed.

You two are also in his bedroom, and the crossbow arrows are next to his pillow when he sleeps, and things will not change.

In my opinion, staying here and defending may have a better chance of success."

"You asked us to come, have you forgotten?"

Caspian paused, "That's my mistake."

"No, your mistake is to think of yourself as a savior who can lead everyone."

"It's not me who abandoned Narnia."

"But it was you who invaded Narnia, you, your father, Miraz..."

"Enough." Aaron interrupted the two, "I have to remind you two that the bridge in Belluna will be repaired soon, and the Tanmore army will attack soon."

Hearing this, Peter and Caspian stopped arguing.

The current situation is very unfavorable to them, and building fortifications to deal with Miraz's army is the top priority.

At the same time, the castle of the Tanmore people.

Miraz officially ascended the throne in the parliament hall, and Psoupy crowned him.

The elders of the parliament did not raise any more objections, after all, the raid of the Narnians last night made them all feel threatened.

They were not sure whether Prince Caspian was mixed with the Narnians, but that was no longer important.

What the Tanmore people needed most at this moment was not a prince, but a king who could eliminate threats and protect the kingdom, and no one was more suitable than Miraz.
