Land Battles
Merchant Republic of Aelport VS Commonwealth of Vertston
Province: Verston
The two armies met just outside Vertston Port. The defenders had erected a varitable maze of fortifications, entrenchments, and other defenses around the port. There were negotiations, no demands for an honorable surrender. Both sides knew that the fate of Vertston would be decided by strength of arms and sheer determination.
The merchant republic made the first move, using its cavalry to probe the defenses and search for a weak point in the defenses. They finally found one near the south-western approach to the city. The republic formed up and began their assault in earnest. The Republic's knights formed the vanguard of the assault with the infantry following close behind and the archers raining death from afar. Vertston's troops attempted to hold the line, but were forced back into the city by the ferocity of the assault.
From there the final outcome of the battle was assured. forced from their defenses, Vertston's troops began to give ground, slowly at first, but as the Republic made more and more gains they were forced back further and further. They attempted to re-form the defensive line at the Markets but the republic's troops forced them to fall back to the docks where they were annihilated to the last man.
