Chapter 122: Siege

City of Devas.

Early this morning, the guards on the tower of the city saw that the army had just left the city and hurried back again.

However, the return of the army was less than a tenth of what it was when it went.

It was obviously a lost battle, but looking at their outfits, there was no sign of a battle. This made the soldiers defending the city a little overwhelmed, and they turned a deaf ear to the call from the door.

Later, when the city guards saw Queen Revina's familiar face, they quickly ordered the guards to lower the drawbridge and open the city gates.

Queen Ravina, with an ugly face, rushed into the city gate first, and immediately ordered the city guards to close the city gate and not allow anyone to enter or leave. Then he hurried back to the palace.

Fools know that the queen is a big defeat.

There was no secrecy these days, and the queen didn't bother to care. So it didn't take long for the news of the crushing defeat of the Queen's army at the front to spread in the city.

However, the reaction of each class is different.

When the palace was neutral, there was a gloomy fog, and everyone had a sense of impending disaster.

"Ah...... Eight thousand people, eight thousand troops, even eight thousand sheep would not have been defeated so quickly......"

"What should I do, what should I do? Snow White is going to come back......"

"Doesn't the queen know how to do black sorcery, why don't you kill those enemies with black sorcery?"

At this time, Queen Revina has been in control of this country for ten years, and the remnants of the previous dynasty in the palace have long been cleared, and now all those in the palace are from the queen's faction, at least it cannot be the princess party.

Now looking at the queen pills, these queen parties are of course as anxious as ants on a hot pot. Many of them fell into the well of Snow White and had a grudge against Snow White back then, and now they see that the enemy has come back, where can they still sit still. If Snow White regains the throne, how can they have a good life?

However, seeing that although the queen fled back in a gray manner, she was not too panicked, which means that there are hole cards. That's why I didn't pack up and run away as soon as possible.

"Hahaha, this greedy stupid woman has finally been punished! Where is my sword......"

"Sons, prepare your weapons and welcome the princess into the city!"

"Brother, that woman failed, I saw with my own eyes, she was like a defeated dog, and she fled back with her tail between her legs......"

The happiest were undoubtedly the city's wealthy merchants and wealthy citizens, who had a particularly hard time after Revina came to power, and the queen was extravagant by nature and set a tax rate that was almost like killing the eggs and killing the eggs. Because the poor have no oil and water, the exploitation of these wealthy classes is the most ruthless.

Especially a few days ago, the queen urgently levied a "special tax on crusading traitors" to recruit troops, which was so large that many wealthy classes were about to go bankrupt.

So this class is the most hated for the queen. But because of the queen's strength and terrifying black magic, they dare not speak out.

Now that the queen was about to hit the streets, they suddenly felt hope. Many people are preparing weapons to cooperate with Snow White's army.

These wealthy classes have money and leisure, and at the same time, they are also affected by the social atmosphere, and basically they have practiced a few times, and every family has a weapon. If it is really organized, it can be regarded as a large force.

Even those who didn't want to stab themselves in the back had no intention of helping the queen.

However, for the majority of the poor in the cities, their attitudes do not matter. Whether it is the Black Queen or Snow White, they are very strange existences.

Or maybe they are more familiar with the Black Queen, because the queen bathes in milk every day, and when she is done, she releases the milk for the poor to drink. Every time she discharged the milk after bathing, the poor people outside rushed to pick it up. (That's right, in the original play, it's drinking bath water, no, it's bath milk.) )

As for the position of those mercenaries, of course, it depends on the queen. In their eyes, Queen Revina is their boss. As for Snow White, who is that? Where did the wild girl come from?

Of course, don't expect them to be loyal, if they see that something is not the right way, they will immediately surrender or run away. Mercenaries are working, taking money to do things. took the boss's money to help the boss work hard, which is a matter of course.

But if you help the boss with your life, then ...... You have to pay more!

Now a few mercenary chiefs are in the palace asking the queen to add money.

"Your Majesty, now that our army is no longer superior in numbers, it is not impossible for us to fight with superior enemy forces, but the money you gave us at the beginning is not enough, and we have to add ......money," a bearded mercenary said seriously.

Another tall mercenary said, "Your Majesty, you know the market. Inferior troops defending the city are the most expensive, and the previous money was only enough for field battles, so you either add money. Either we cancel the contract ......"

Several other mercenary leaders had the same attitude, either adding money or leaving.

Ravena's pretty face was frosty: "Are you threatening me?"

The bearded man laughed and said, "Hehe, Your Majesty, this is business, how can it be said to be a threat?"

The fact that mercenaries rebelled against their employers was not new, but they didn't dare here, after all, the queen was not a weak woman. Her army is mostly gone, but she's a terrifying dark wizard herself.

"Well, I can add money to you......" The queen suddenly smiled, leaving several mercenary leaders stunned.

Suddenly, their expressions froze on their faces, and the eyes that were still intoxicated just now instantly turned into extremely frightened. Looking at their eyes, they desperately wanted to escape, but they couldn't move, and they couldn't even speak.

Because they don't know when there was a spider-like monster on the back of their necks. The monster's ten legs had been inserted into their flesh and were merging into their bodies.

It didn't take long for the eyes of several mercenary leaders to turn confused. Their mobility was then restored, but stiff as wooden men. They knelt in front of the queen and said indifferently, "Master......"

"A bunch of fools, you have wasted my magic power for years!" the queen said through gritted teeth, "Get out of here and continue to defend the city!"

"Yes, master......" The mercenaries left with blank expressions.

"These idiots are really unreliable! Looks like that's the only way to do it......" A hint of ruthlessness and determination flashed in Ravena's eyes.

............

After the queen's army fled back, Snow White's two hundred light cavalry arrived at the city, and after seeing that there was no chance to take advantage of it, she sent a dozen of them back to report, and the other cavalry were under the city to watch.

In the evening, the main force of Snow White, who had finished cleaning the battlefield, came to the city.

Originally, Bai Xue's army was only more than 3,000 people, and there were no casualties in the battle just now because of the formation. After that, she collected a large number of surrendered troops, and now the strength under her command has swelled to 10,000!

Devas City is a city built on a peninsula, surrounded by water on both sides, and only the southeast side can be attacked.

An army of 10,000 surrounded the two walls, then set up camp and began to make siege equipment for the attack tomorrow.

Because of packing up the array, Su Lei and the others, who were late, came to the camp under the city and were immediately warmly welcomed by the princess.

Not only were the most luxurious tents specially prepared for them (the queen's royal supplies that had just been seized), but they were also equipped with maids and the most high-end utensils (which were still captured). Ying Lina's formation shocked the princess unwanted, and with her cleverness, she couldn't hold these "Oriental wizards" high.

Su Lei and they also accepted it calmly, anyway, they were going to leave when they got the mirror, and they couldn't enjoy it for a few days. But the maids didn't ask for it.

They talked with the princess for a while, and then came out to see the situation, and then saw that the royal flag in the city was still there, and there were still hundreds of people guarding the city wall, and it seemed that it was still stable, and the morale was not very low.

Chen Shiyi couldn't help but be curious: "Hey, it's all like this, why doesn't the queen run away? Does he think that he can still kill back with these hundreds of people?"

Ying Lina smiled: "There should be any hole cards, after all, it is a dark wizard similar to the seventh grade......"

Qiao Qiao said disdainfully: "What about the seventh grade, there are tens of thousands of troops here, even if it is the sixth grade and the fifth grade, I am afraid that it will not be able to turn the tide of the battle......"

These people are all from professional backgrounds, and of course they know the limits of extraordinary strength. Even if it is a monk equivalent to the sixth grade, he is quite powerless in the face of tens of thousands of troops, and it is not a big problem to escape, but it is better to save if he wants to turn defeat into victory.

Su Lei and Zhou Mingrui didn't speak, and both of them were using spells to observe the city.

Ying Lina walked over and asked, "Hey, what did you two smart people find?"

Zhou Mingrui took a telescope-like magic weapon and aimed around, and then deduced on a type disk.

Then he said with a solemn expression: "The king's qi in the palace is about to collapse, which means that the queen has pills." But her complexion and ferocious aura showed that there was an ambush in the palace city, and she would fight hard. After the city is broken tomorrow, we will all stay behind, and wait for those troops to blunt their troops first......"

There are ready-made cannon fodder, of course, everyone will not be in the limelight, and everyone agrees.

"Let's prepare tonight, Lao Zhou, is your mirror confirmed?" asked Lina Ying.

"It's still there, I can feel its position ......," Zhou Mingrui smiled.

Early the next morning, the princess army, who had finished breakfast, began to attack.

Thousands of crossbowmen rained arrows at the city walls, and after crushing the defenders at the head of the city, there were large piles of soldiers carrying sandbags to fill in the trenches under the cover of dozens of shield carts.

Last night, taking advantage of the cover of night, the princess sent men to fill in a dozen offensive roads. The shield cart was pushed to the edge of the trench without incident, dropping a large pile of sandbags, which were then pushed back by the soldiers. After a few rounds, the trenches were filled in a dozen places.

At this time, several well-mounted railing carts were also pushed over, relying on the advantage of being higher than the city wall, and suppressed the defenders with a flurry of arrows.

The soldiers carrying the ladder took the opportunity to rush under the city wall, set up the ladder and began to attack the city.

The war was immediately at a fever pitch, with soldiers on both sides screaming and killing each other, and from time to time someone fell from the walls......
