Chapter 163: Opening the city and surrendering
In the face of the offensive of the orc legion, the successive routs made Chen Feng choose to avoid the battle, and dug trenches outside the camp overnight to build fortifications.
But this move further confirmed the conjecture of the Tatar chieftain, and made him secretly riveted in his heart, planning to capture the city of Monty in one go.
The mysterious weapons that caused a fatal attack on the wolf king Antonio may have been stolen by the dragon clan long ago, and even if the two clans married later, they could not return this batch of equipment, otherwise the Monty Empire would definitely not be the same as it is now.
According to the information that the Tatar leader received from the spies three months ago, the Terrans only had 150,000 regular knights, and some time ago they were subjected to dragon air raids and civil strife, and this number may drop sharply.
Chen Feng confronted the pants clan, presumably transferring all the defenders in the city, and there was nothing more than an empty city behind him.
As long as the camp outside the city is captured, the city of Monty will not be breached.
But in fact, although Chen Feng sent 250,000 troops to camp outside the city, most of them were sword-wielding knights, and they were recruits who had just been recruited in the past few months.
But the 200,000 elite forbidden troops are not outside the city at the moment, nor are they inside the city.
"In the autumn of this kind of crisis, what about our Supreme Commander Greenland, where did she go?" The counts didn't dare to complain to Emperor Chen Feng and Princess Leia, so they had to point the finger at Greenland, who had been missing for a long time.
"Being in a high position, but not doing practical things, it is difficult to convince the public!"
"With 50,000 forbidden troops, she said that she was going hunting, but she has not returned yet, I really doubt that she led the army of the human race to join the pants industry clan?"
"Emperor Chen Feng's behavior, I and other old ministers really can't understand it, we can rely on the city wall to defend it, but we have to be brave for a while, and run out of the city to bury tens of thousands of knights in vain. ”
The counts were talking, and suddenly someone dared to ask, "What should we do if the city is broken?"
At present, the new army led by Emperor Chen Feng is being defeated in front of the elephant cavalry of the trouser clan, with 250,000 troops, more than half of them killed and wounded.
Stubborn resistance, a dead end, Kaesong surrenders, maybe there will be a glimmer of life.
In the face of the doubts of these ministers, Princess Leah ignored them, their rhetoric was not unreasonable, according to the current battle situation, Chen Feng was only one step away from defeat.
Leah was so anxious that she couldn't bear the worry in her heart, rode out of the city on a white horse, and galloped to Chen Feng's main camp.
"Princess Leah, it's dangerous! Why are you so reckless? You are a royal princess, how can you casually run to the front line?" the counts tried to stop it, but it was too late.
These old ministers are all hereditary nobles, weak in strength, very delicate, even if they see Leah in trouble, they are just saying a few words, and no one dares to go out of the city to recover the princess.
"Leah, why are you here? It was said that it was windy outside, so I told you to go back to the dormitory to rest, and when you wake up, the war should be over." Chen Feng tore off his robe and draped it over Leah's shoulders.
"Are you sure?Do you need to send the knights from the city to help?" Leah frowned and came to Chen Feng's tent.
"At present, there are only 250,000 recruits left in the city, and there are still those who stay in the city to prevent the sneak attack of the pants industry. Chen Feng explained.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand? or the Knights of the Sword?"
Hearing Chen Feng's words, Leah's brows furrowed even deeper.
The number of garrison corps in King Monty City is not clear to others, but she knows that there were originally 700,000 troops in the city, including 200,000 elite forbidden troops and more than 1 million reserves.
How did it suddenly become 250,000? plus 250,000 outside the city, a total of 500,000 sword-wielding knights.
"What about the 200,000 Forbidden Army, who vanished out of thin air?" asked Leah.
"This is a barracks, there are so many people that you can't explain it for a while, and then you'll understand. ”
Chen Feng lay in front of the sand table, studying the battlefield, and said coldly: "If you have confidence in me, just watch me defeat the pants industry clan." ”
Leah remained silent, walked quickly to Chen Feng's side, followed his line of sight and observed the sand table, her frowning eyebrows slowly relaxed, and whispered, "It's underground, right?"
"It's Princess Leah, smart enough. ”
"How do you do it? Even if you dig in five days, you don't have enough time, not to mention that the grassland soil is loose and prone to collapse. ”
This puzzled Leah.
It was a legion of twenty people, not two or three hundred, and if you wanted to hide all of them underground, you had to dig tunnels that were dozens of miles long, and this was not a small project, even if you mobilized Monty's subjects, it would take at least half a year to complete.
As soon as Chen Feng wanted to speak, the sentry hurriedly came to report, "Your Majesty, the Tatar leader personally led a large army, poured out, and approached our army's defense line. ”
"It's good to come, prepare for the battle, no, it's to watch the battle!" Chen Feng pulled Leah and rode his horse to the nearby hills, standing here overlooking the battlefield.
"Aren't you staying in the camp to command the war?" Leah stared at Chen Feng with a suspicious face, muttering, "Do you want to abandon the knights in the camp and run for your life alone, using them as cannon fodder?"
"They are just decoys, they do not need to go to war, real command centers, in the hills, not camps. ”
Chen Feng came to the top of the hill, which was filled with boxes of flares, and there were also wine and fruits next to it.
Standing on a high place, looking around, the orc legion of the trouser clan, the rear army pressing the middle army, and the Chinese army pressing the vanguard, all spread out and put on a charging formation.
At the forefront, there are 20,000 elephant cavalry, which is the elite division of the trouser clan.
In the steppe battle, the elephant cavalry will be invincible, and no one can stop them from attacking.
"The army of 300,000 is overwhelming, densely packed like ants, it seems that this is the signal of the beginning of the general attack, the Tatar leader is in a hurry, he is afraid that Antonio and the triumphant leader will unite with the Terrans to attack him, so he is eager to capture the city of Monty. ”
"Now is not the time to analyze the battle situation, you can make it clear, how should this battle be fought?"
Unbeknownst to her, Leah was afraid that Chen Feng would be blindly confident and ruin the nascent Monty King City.
Although she trusts Chen Feng very much, the current battle situation is not optimistic, even if all the 700,000 troops in Monty Royal City participate in the battle, they may not be able to defeat the Pants Clan Legion, but Chen Feng wants to rely on the 200,000 forbidden army that has not yet shown up to win the victory.
"Wait! ”
Chen Feng discovered the abnormality, and through the sniper eyepiece, he saw the gate of King Monty's city not far away, presumably those counts who planned to take the initiative to surrender to the pants industry clan in order to survive, in the absence of Leah and Chen Feng.
