Chapter 435 The whole army retreats, you should thank me

Aaron saw the archers taking aim on the city wall and knew not to fish.

It’s okay to watch a show, but you still have to pay attention to propriety.

Those who participated in the raid were all the elites of Narnia. If they suffered heavy damage in this siege, the subsequent battles would be even more difficult to fight.

boom! boom! boom!

Three gunshots fell very clearly into everyone's ears, and both sides fighting couldn't help but pause.

After a brief silence, the leader of the men and horses shouted loudly, "Retreat, retreat quickly."

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

Aaron turned around a few times, put away the silver pistol, and then silently retreated outside the city gate.

He felt clear that he had accomplished this step, at least preserving Narnia's combat power to the maximum extent possible.

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

In his opinion, tonight should be a beautiful defense battle for Tanmo.

Although it is a bit exciting, as long as the invading enemies are wiped out, it will all be worth it.

Kill Caspian and he will be the sole heir to the throne.

By annihilating the Narnians, he fulfilled his ancestor's last wish.

This achievement was enough for him to inherit the throne legitimately, and the elders in the council could not fault him at all.

But if they were allowed to run away, then this defense battle would be flawed, as if there was an extra thorn in the heart.

Peter was also confused. He didn't expect that Aaron actually had a second gun, and he didn't expect that he would actually send a retreat signal over him.

He was planning to charge towards the castle and capture Miraz, but as soon as the retreat signal was given, he had no one else to cover him, and if he went up alone, he would be killed.

"Come on, Peter," Susan shouted.

Peter's chest heaved 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 himself stayed in the city and helped 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 else, he went to save his teacher.

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

Susan was also speechless and followed the leader of the troops away obediently.

Edmond also heard the gunshots, but with the pursuing soldiers behind him and the city wall dozens of meters high in front, he really had no way to go.

Fortunately, the gryphon that sent him here seemed to have noticed his helplessness at the moment, and flew over quickly, grabbing his shoulders and carrying him high into the sky.

when! when! when!

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 gates and suspension bridges to deal with the current situation so that foreign enemies cannot escape.

The city gate began to descend, and the suspension bridge outside also began to slowly rise.

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

Upon seeing this, a man and an ox immediately stood under the city gate and single-handedly lifted the several thousand kilograms of gate, giving others a chance to escape.

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

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

Peter didn't hesitate, got on his horse and rushed to the city gate.

"Attack, order the attack." Miraz said.

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

Miraz didn't care so much and took the crossbow from the general's hand, "Attack now."

If those Narnians escaped, they would just flee. At worst, after the bridge was built, he would lead his troops to encircle and suppress them.

But he couldn't let Caspian escape, it would be a threat to his throne and his son.

What's more, Caspian now knows the cause of his father's death. There is no room for relaxation between them. Caspian will never let him go once he succeeds in seizing the throne.

Dense crossbow arrows were fired at the city gate, and many Narnians fell on the way to retreat.

Man-Niu was also hit in the thigh by a crossbow arrow, but he continued to hold on.

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

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here quickly. I can't hold on for long." Renniu said angrily, "After I fall, not only the city gate will be closed, but also the suspension bridge."

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

"You're crazy, leave now!"

"Help people to the end, I was the one who sent the retreat signal after all.

It's somewhat inappropriate to stand on the sidelines. "Aaron said, pulling out his long sword and splitting several arrows that were shot at humans and cattle. "But speaking of the front, I can at most block the crossbow arrows that are shot at you, but I can't care about others. "

Renniu 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 without any unnecessary movements.

After everyone had evacuated, in addition to a few corpses, there were dozens or hundreds of downed arrows in front of the city gate.

Not to mention humans and cows, even the Tanmer soldiers, generals, kings, 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-notch swordsmanship.

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

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

"Then let's fight in close combat. I believe he can fight a dozen, but he will never be able to stop dozens of them." Miraz said coldly, "And the man and the cow are still there, he will not retreat easily."

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

"about there."

"It's almost done." Renniu said happily, "You can go now. Your Majesty is lucky to have a friend like you."

"Maybe!" Aaron shrugged, then kicked the man-ox in the abdomen, sending him flying onto the suspension bridge.

Bang, bang, bang!

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

"you..."

The man and the cow hurriedly got up and ran to the city gate, trying to lift the gate.

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

"What are you doing here? The suspension bridge will be raised soon."

"what would you do?"

"I'm sure nothing will happen to me." Aaron said confidently, then squatted sideways, grabbed the iron door with one hand and slowly lifted it up.

Gulu!

The sounds of swallowing came and went.

The man and the cow immediately turned around and ran out dragging their injured legs.

The general and dozens of soldiers stopped in shock when they saw this scene. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe that human beings had such power.

One hand can carry an iron door weighing thousands of kilograms, so there must be a limit to joking!

"With only fifty people, can we defeat him?" The general thought suspiciously, feeling that he would need at least a hundred people to take down Aaron.

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

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

Dozens of people charged again, but it was still a step too late. By the time they rushed forward, Aaron had already carried the iron door to shoulder height.

"goodbye."

when!

Aaron turned over and jumped out of the city gate.

As the gate fell, the suspension bridge outside also began to slowly rise.

Aaron didn't waste any time and took a run-up. When the suspension bridge was halfway up, he jumped high and landed firmly on the other side of the suspension bridge across a distance of five or six meters.

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

"Fifteen years old?" The corners of Susan's eyes also twitched.

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

"withdraw."

Peter reluctantly ordered and led the Narnian army to leave the castle.

Aaron took out Lucy's medicine bottle on the way and asked Susan to treat the wounded, so that the forward speed was not affected.

At dawn, everyone just returned to the bunker.

However, compared to before, the atmosphere in the team was a bit more depressing.

"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 and has saved many wounded people!"

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

"It's time for you to return my gun to me!" Aaron looked at Peter pointedly and asked.

He pursed his lips and returned the revolver.

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

"You didn't even ask!

Besides, I'm not familiar with you, so I really don't dare to hand over the weapon without some backup plans. "

"Should 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 was raised in the castle, we no longer had any advantage.

You insisted on launching an attack, but I didn't stop you. After all, people always die in wars, and we are all mentally prepared for this.

But when you are at a disadvantage, you should make a decisive decision, and you were stunned at that time. If I hadn't sent the retreat signal in time, when Miraz closed the city gate, our entire army would have been annihilated. "

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

"Amazing." Aaron clapped his hands, "But the premise is that you have to fight all the way to the tower. Even if the fighting soldiers turn a blind eye to you, you only need to kill about forty guards."

"I have other people covering me." Peter said unconvinced.

"I don't deny it." Aaron nodded, "But at that time, two rows of archers were already in place. Do you plan to fight against the rain of arrows?

Even if you are lucky enough to kill him, Narnia's army will probably be wiped out. "

"Your gun is in my hand. As long as there is a chance to get close, it is still possible."

"Haha!" Aaron couldn't help laughing, "With all due respect, you probably have never been exposed to firearms!

How confident are you in your marksmanship? "

"This..." Peter was speechless. There were many guards beside Miraz at that time. 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 also have a second gun." Peter seemed to have grasped the key point, "Your marksmanship is so good, if you..."

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

Killing a closely guarded king with a pistol from a few hundred meters away was a bit too much of a joke. "

Aaron has a very clear understanding of himself. His marksmanship is good, but there is still a big gap between him and his perfect shot.

At a distance of several hundred meters, unless he replaced his pistol with a sniper rifle, he really couldn't hit it.

But he couldn't explain clearly when he took out the two guns. He didn't want to use magic in front of so many people.

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

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

"I?"

"If you follow the plan, we won't be so embarrassed."

"I admit that I am responsible." Caspian took a deep breath, "It's really hard to stay calm when facing the enemy who killed your father..."

"The enemy who killed his father?" Aaron suddenly showed an interested expression, and a big drama of overt and covert fighting between brothers for the throne emerged in his mind.

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

The two of you are in his dormitory, and the crossbow is next to his pillow when he sleeps, but nothing will change.

According to me, if you stay here and use defense as offense, you may have a better chance of winning. "

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

Caspian paused. "That was my mistake."

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

"I was not the one who abandoned Narnia."

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

"That's enough." Aaron interrupted the two of them, "I have to remind you two that the bridge in Belluna is about to be repaired, and the Tamar army will attack soon."

At this Peter and Caspian ceased their quarrel.

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

Meanwhile, the Tammer's castle.

Miraz was formally enthroned in the Council Hall, and Psuppi crowned him.

The elders of the council did not raise any objections. After all, the Narnians' raid last night made them all feel threatened.

Whether Prince Caspian was hanging out with the Narnians or not they weren't sure, but that didn't matter anymore.

What the Tanmer people need most at the moment is not a prince, but a king who can eradicate threats and protect the kingdom. No one is more suitable than Miraz.
