Section 41 Tempting the Enemy
On the seventh day, the 9th level cardinal appointed by the temple finally arrived at the 'Meng' Fruit City. Murdorf also breathed a sigh of relief, and 'handed over' all the command to the other party, unloading the burden on his body.
These days, the Crusaders come to the city almost every day to curse. The words of the scolding are strange, five 'flowers' and eight 'doors'. Murdorf also sent 200 sharp-tongued soldiers to stand at the head of the city and insult each other. But scolding is not a war, and it is not useful when there are many people.
In terms of volume, although the crusaders were only a hundred, each of them was equipped with a strange thing. If you put it to your mouth, you can shout 4 or 5 times louder than usual. It was Harry's invention of the horn. With this thing, the two hundred people of 'Meng' Guocheng have nothing to fear.
In terms of scolding, the crusaders could understand the words of the soldiers of 'Meng' Guocheng, and easily refute them, or at least they could fight back-for-tat. However, half of the crusaders' curses were incomprehensible in the city, and if they wanted to refute them, how could they refute them, let alone fight back.
Moreover, the crusaders pressed more than 2,000 people from the other side in the city with only 100 people and did not dare to come out, and they had the upper hand in morale, and they were naturally full of confidence and arrogance when they scolded people.
Therefore, within two days, the two hundred soldiers of the scolding array lost their armor and collapsed. Later, the people at the head of the city simply plugged their ears with strips of cloth, and this was a little cleaner.
In order to suppress those scolded, the seven-trick smoke-making and thunderous level 8 powerhouses almost struggled with all his efforts. Sometimes he let them go if he really wanted to, and let them fight to the death with the Crusaders.
As soon as the cardinal archbishop came, a group of strong men asked for battle, vowing to peel the skin of the crusaders below and 'cramp' them, and to be humiliated for many days in a row. This is also Murdorf's delaying tactic, and he will not allow the slightest mistake during his tenure. If you're going to fight, wait until the Cardinal comes.
"Why are you so angry? His Holiness the Pope has ordered me to hold on to this city. The enemy's actions are clearly an act of 'luring' the enemy, and you must not be fooled......" The man who came was named Bonier, and unfortunately he was assigned here because of the 'lottery'.
But he thought about it, he had more than 2,000 'elite' soldiers in his hands, and 24 level 8 powerhouses. The other party only has 1,000 crusaders, although the Holy Son and the commander of the crusaders suspect that they have level 9 strength, but there are only 3 level 8 powerhouses in their hands, no matter how you look at this battle, they still have a great chance of winning.
Moreover, the Pope only asked him to defend the city of 'Monte'. If there is an unexpected situation, if the city of 'Meng' Guocheng is still unable to hold, as long as you lead the main force to retreat to the fortress of Mada and hold on for three months, you will be considered a meritorious service.
The task should be easy...... I should just come out and supervise it.
"But the other party's words are really too deceitful, and we would rather die in battle than suffer this nameless anger!" Several strong men were filled with righteous indignation.
"God says that those who insult others will be punished! Do not be like them, God will condemn them!" Bonnell smiled and comforted the crowd.
"There are only 100 men on the other side, so why should we be afraid of them, and the crusaders are only about 1,000 in total, and even if we fight head-on, we may not be able to defeat them!" spoke a knightly general of the former royal family.
"Bincy, watch your words! We are not afraid of our opponents, and the wisdom of His Holiness the Pope is beyond your own speculation! Don't forget that you are still guilty now!" In the face of the royal generals who had participated in the rebellion, 'Bo' Nev was not so polite.
Bincy blushed and said no more. Several level 8 knights around him who had served the royal family also showed a look of disgruntle.
"Now...... Let me go to the city and see what kind of rebel army the Crusaders were. Berniel had made up his mind, and after doing some of his routine, he was comfortable in the church. There are many strong soldiers in the city of 'Meng', as long as he defends it, he really doesn't believe that the other party can attack it.
"Huh!, everyone, look! A red-skinned 'fat' pig has come out!" The soldiers of the crusaders seemed to be invigorated by a shot of cardiotonic, and they suddenly came to their 'spirits' one by one.
What kind of monster is this? Boniel was slightly stunned, and when he saw the people around him looking like they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he was relieved. A hint of anger suddenly appeared on his face.
Calm down! I'll make a routine round and leave at once...... Bonnel took a deep breath and returned to a kind smile on his face.
"You're really bad-eyed, you're obviously a bishop, where is the red-skinned boar!" said this sentence, which made Bonnel feel a little more comfortable. But then......
"Although it looks 'quite like'. "Bonelje felt the urge to vomit blood.
"I don't know what kind of evil his father and mother have created......! Could it be that he has pig blood in him?" the crusader cried out unrelentingly.
His Highness the Holy Son teaches us that the genes of animals and demonic beasts are different from those of us humans, and it is impossible to give birth to offspring. Although I don't know much what this gene is, His Highness the Son must be right. The soldier explained in a serious manner.
"But he does have a lot of pigs on his body, presumably it must be that his parents have too frequent relationships with pigs on weekdays, so that they affect the so-called genes, called ...... What is it called? That's what His Highness the Holy Son said, hey, it's pitiful......" After speaking, he nodded heavily, as if satisfied with his understanding.
Bonnell's face had turned purple into a purple color, his teeth were clenching, his hands were clenched into fists, and several green tendons could be faintly seen under the two-inch thick 'fat' and 'meat'.
"I'm! I'm!" Bonnell burst into a rage.
"God says that those who insult others will be punished!, Bishop Bognel, do not be like them, God will condemn them!" Murdorf forced himself to hold back his laughter, and hurriedly persuaded Bonnel what he had just said.
"I want them to be punished now!" Bonnell mustered up his holy power, and flew off the wall to the top of the crusaders. Regardless of the shouts of their own people in the rear.
"This is the enemy's ploy to 'lure' the enemy, Lord Benel, don't be fooled...... Hey......" Murdorf rolled his eyes, how could he turn his eyes and the cardinal forget what he had said?
A disc appeared in the sky, shooting a pillar of light downward, shooting straight at the two crusader soldiers who had insulted him.
A hint of solemnity flashed in Bibke's eyes, and he held the long sword in his hand and slashed it into the sky. A wide cross-light saber soared into the sky, facing the opponent's holy word technique.
The upper and lower attacks were evenly matched, and with a loud bang, both of them were shocked. A surprise flashed in Boniel's eyes, the other party's level 8 holy sword technique was actually able to block the holy word technique of his level 9 cardinal!
He also saw a faint bird in the woods behind the enemy, startled, suspected that there was an ambush, and missed the blow, and immediately retreated into the city. When Binxi and other former generals of the royal family saw the cross lightsaber, their eyes suddenly showed a familiar look, and they looked at each other, and they couldn't tell whether they were happy or worried.
"Bincy, you lead your 500 soldiers out of the city to test the enemy's reality. Boniel's anger was still there, and the two soldiers were still talking and laughing uncontrollably under the city. At the sight of them, Bonnel's blood rushes straight to the 'door' of the brain, which cannot be suppressed.
Obviously, Boniel's intention was to let these former royal generals and soldiers go as cannon fodder to vent their own anger. If the other party is 'baiting' the enemy, it is not a big deal to lose 500 soldiers and a few level 8 powerhouses who are not trusted.
The eyes of the former royal generals flashed with anger, but the cardinal's order could not be ignored, and they had to prepare to go out of the city to meet the enemy.
The big 'gate' of the 'Meng' fruit city slowly opened, and Binsey and the rest of the generals had a total of five teams, each with a team of 100 people, rushed out of the city.
With a move of his right hand, two puffs of smoke and dust suddenly rose in the woods behind him, shouting to kill the heavens, and two teams rushed out, the momentum was quite huge, but I don't know how many people there were. The Bibek hundred-man team under the city also immediately changed their expressions, tightened their formation, and a killing intent permeated from the ranks of the crusaders.
"Attack canceled! Return to the city immediately. "Boniel's face changed, and he ordered the troops who had not yet completely broken out of the city gate to retreat back to the city immediately. Even if he wants to lose, he can't lose in vain, seeing that the other party obviously has ambushes, Bonniel chose to be cautious. Trying out the other party's arrangement, Bonnell seemed to be a little proud, and half of the anger that had been insulted just now was gone. He was really wise, and he sent someone out of the city to shock the other party, and then he found out of the enemy's ambush. But they have nothing to lose.
Seeing that the other party fled back to the city with his tail between his legs, Bibco's face was full of mockery, and the soldiers around him also put on a lazy appearance again. The two groups that rushed out of the woods consisted of only 50 men on one side, and gathered around Bibzak, a total of 200 soldiers. The 100 ambush soldiers behind each dragged a thick branch and leaf, and were responsible for raising a large amount of dust to cover the opponent's vision during the sprint, and also held a horn in their hands to increase their momentum.
Hahahaha! Two hundred crusaders mocked the cowardice and idiocy of Bonnell at the same time under the city. Bonel, who was still beaming proudly just now, suddenly lost his angry mouth. Bincy and the others also 'showed' their faces with ashamed 'color', and they were so frightened by the mere 200 soldiers that their 500 men and horses retreated back to the city, which cannot but be said to be a shame for the soldiers. Although he did what he was told, the deep sense of humiliation could not be taken away.
"Brothers, our truth has been exposed! Retreat quickly, or it will not be good for the enemy to chase after us!" Bibs shouted, leading the Crusaders to retreat back to their camp with great arrogance and laughter.
The two sides starred in a siege farce......
"What the hell are these Crusaders trying to do!" Bonnell yelled angrily at the group of level 8 powerhouses.
"The subordinates don't know, if Bincy did attack just now, with a mere two hundred men to resist our army, could this Bibget be a madman, dare to take such a risk!" said Murdorf.
"What are we going to do if they come back tomorrow?" asked Bonnell. Today, he was quite unconvinced by this humiliation. But the Pope ordered himself to defend the city of 'Meng' Guo, and if he attacked rashly, he would be guilty if he fell into the trap of the enemy.
"Bishop Boniel, I think we should decide our strategy first, will we attack or defend?" Bincy finally spoke.
"How's the offense, and what's the defense?" asked Bonnell with a deep voice, glancing at Bincy.
"If we want to attack, our strength is several times that of the enemy, and there is no need to be afraid at all. If Lord Bonnel sends me a thousand soldiers and 10 strong men, I will set up camp on the northwest hill outside the city, and I will form a horn with the city of 'Meng'. If the enemy comes again, we will attack on both sides, whether they are 'luring' the enemy or attacking, we can calmly deal with it. ”
Want military power?Boniel glanced at Bincy. This crusader commander knows holy swordsmanship, and he has nothing to do with the former royal family, who knows if this Binsey is in a gang? He can't be so stupid and 'hand' half of his strength to a general who can't be trusted.
"What if we keep it? His Holiness the Pope told me to keep the city of 'Monteon' for three months. Bonnel asked.
"It's easy to stick to it. Close the door and ignore the other party's provocations. A small number of patrols and garrisons are sufficient at the head of the city. The large army was firmly in the city, raising its 'essence' and accumulating its strength, and when the enemy could not hold back the siege, we counterattacked in one go. If the enemy does not attack the city, Lord Bonnier and the other adults should not go up to the city again, lest they be humiliated by the other side again, and they will fall prey to the enemy's schemes......"
Bincy's countermeasures can be said to be very safe, but in the ears of Benel, who has a heart, it is not like that.
What does it mean to be rash? Is I, Lord Bonnel, such an impulsive person? Will I be so easily fooled by the enemy? Although I have miscalculated today, I have no loss in the city of 'Meng', and you, a small rebel general, dare to criticize me, the Bishop?
Besides, we are all staying in the city, and if the enemy makes any moves, you Binsi will cooperate again, and the crusaders may not know about the attack on the city!
The more Boneel thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and the more suspicious he became, and he felt that Bincy's words were all traps. It's so easy to fool me about Lord Boniere. However, what he said at the beginning was not bad, the strength of 'Meng' Guocheng was several times that of the rebels, and he was afraid that he would do something, even if he fought hard, it was the Crusaders who died in the end.
Thinking of this, Bonnel made a decision.
"Tomorrow! "Binxi, Binsey, I'll see how you play for me tomorrow......
Bincy was stunned, there didn't seem to be such a thing as opening the city to meet the enemy in the plan he had just offered, right? Immediately, he saw the suspicious light flashing in Bonnel's eyes, and then he realized that it was ...... I can't get the trust of the temple in the slightest......
The next day, Biebco still stood under the city with a brigade of 100 men. And Bonnel also walked up to the top of the city, looking down proudly.
