Chapter 792: Taoyan City surrenders
At 11 o'clock at noon on February 13, 1175, Yan Tielong took his fiancée and six hundred elite iron horsemen into Lemuge Village.
When he came to the castle hall, Yan Tielong saw that Baron McRojne was communicating with a young man, so he asked the butler next to him to prepare food, after all, he had never eaten a good meal in the past few days.
Soon, after the exchange, McRojen saw Yan Tielong, who was already waiting for him, so he pulled the young man opposite to Yan Tielong to introduce him.
Yan Tielong nodded to Baron Simi Idro, and then asked Baron McRojne, why is there anything wrong with him in a hurry?
Baron Merrojne heard that Yan Tielong's tone was not friendly, and he hurriedly took out two scrolls from his arms and told Yan Tielong that the two scrolls were sent by Prince Ospine and King Sirolugus.
Hearing that it was sent by O'S Pine and the Kingdom of Sirolugus, Yan Tielong took it and opened it and looked at it carefully.
Ospine's scroll tells Yan Tielong that the day before yesterday, the king of Sirolugus attacked the king of Guxide, and the record is very detailed, but unfortunately he did not succeed in losing a small part of his manpower for a day and a night, and finally asked Yan Tielong what good tactics he had to take down the capital of Guxide.
Yan Tielong was not surprised that King Xiluo Gus failed to defeat the Guxide Royal Capital, after all, Yan Tielong had seen the whole picture of the Guxide Royal Capital through Xiaoyin, and he found that the ancestors of the Xiluo Royal Family were very powerful in building the Guxide Royal Capital into an iron pass, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and with the assistance of the enemy's magician, even he had no good way to break the Guxide Royal Capital.
And the scroll of the king of Sirolugus is to ask Yan Tielong to transport supplies and soldiers to pave him, after all, after the battle the day before yesterday, Sirolugus is worried that there are not enough soldiers to ensure that the kingdom of King Guxide will not be able to escape.
Regarding King Sirolugus's request to pave, Yan Tielong showed the scroll of King Sirolugus to Baron Merrojen after a little thought, and asked how many people could be gathered before tomorrow?
After reading the Kingdom Scroll and hearing Yan Tielong's inquiry, Baron Merrojen told Yan Tielong that he could gather more than 30,000 people after a little consideration.
Hearing that 30,000 people could be recruited, Yan Tielong was very surprised, after all, the population of Remuge Village did not exceed 6,000 now, and there were nearly 3,000 captives here.
Baron Merrojn saw that Yan Tielong didn't believe it, so he told Yan Tielong that because Yan Tielong publicized that the current king was fake and was controlled by his uncle, more and more nobles now learned that the previous uncle of the kingdom had formed robbers on the orders of the king, and they expressed their support for the king's side and brought those robbers to justice, and it was not difficult for those dozen nobles to gather 30,000 people.
Yan Tielong heard that more than a dozen nobles had joined, and he was a little puzzled as to why so many nobles had joined, after all, when Yan Tielong conquered Remuge Village, only Baron Merrojne joined.
Baron McRojn was puzzled when he saw Yan Tielong, and he said that because he sent a large amount of evidence of the previous uncle of the kingdom, more and more nobles with a sense of justice knew about it, so many people joined.
Hearing Baron McRojern's explanation, Yan Tielong fell into thought and said, "McRojne, how many people can you muster now?"
Merrojne said that he could muster three hundred men, after all, there were many people in the village watching the captives.
Yan Tielong heard what Merrojen said, and he also knew that the other party's 300 manpower was the limit of the other party, and he even had to take risks, after all, it was still very difficult for a thousand ordinary armed forces to take care of more than 3,000 prisoners.
Just as Yan Tielong was thinking about how to gather more people in the shortest possible time, he suddenly heard, "Lord Yan Tielong, may I ask what you want to do in such a hurry to recruit people?"
Hearing that it was Baron Simi Idro who made the voice, Yan Tielong thought for a while and said: "The forces related to the uncle of the ancestral kingdom here have been greatly weakened by me, but Taoyan City has been shrinking without loss, so I plan to take Taoyan City before tomorrow." ”。
When Baron McRojern heard Yan Tielong's plan, he wondered why Yan Tielong gave up attacking the city because of the strong city of Taoyan City, why did he now think of fighting Taoyan City again?
Regarding Merrojien's doubts, Yan Tielong directly told the other party that he did not give up the siege because of the strong city of Taoyan City, he had previously used Taoyan City as a bait to attract the surrounding nobles who had a relationship with Count Tao Baigusi, and weaken the strength of the supporters of the uncle of the first kingdom.
Yan Tielong then said that now that the forces surrounding him who supported the uncle of the Xianguo Kingdom had been greatly weakened by him, there was no threat, so Tao Yancheng should also be dealt with, after all, Tao Yancheng was there, so he suspected that the forces that supported the uncle of the Xianguo Kingdom would revivenation.
After listening to Yan Tielong's explanation, Baron Simi Idro on the side expressed to Yan Tielong that he was willing to lead the team to fight together.
Yan Tielong heard Baron Simiidro on the side say something, and he asked curiously how many people the other party had brought?
Baron Simiidro was a little shy and said that he had brought five hundred people, and the equipment was very bad, and he hoped that Yan Tielong would not dislike it.
Yan Tielong heard Baron Simit's words, he smiled and said that he was not a high nobleman, for the present, the more people the better, and then said to look at the other party with people.
When Yan Tielong saw the armed forces brought by Baron Simiid, he thought that he could now deal with all the peasants in front of him with thirty cavalry.
In order to let the peasants in front of him have some combat effectiveness, Yan Tielong directly asked Baron McRojne to take out five hundred sets from his booty and give them to the other party.
Baron Merrojen heard Yan Tielong's order, and he asked his subordinates to quickly pull a batch of loot obtained by Yan Tielong from the warehouse to reinforce the troops in Taoyan City, these loot equipment has reached the level of iron equipment, which can be regarded as high-level equipment, of course, in Yan Tielong's eyes, those iron equipment is much worse than the leather armor and weapons made by the Feather Wing Clan.
Baron Simide saw that all the equipment in front of him was for his soldiers to wear, and his own eyes were red.
You must know that the Barony of Simiid has also been plagued by robbers, and many members of his family have starved to death in recent years, and even the underwear on his body has been patched with more than a dozen patches, so you can imagine that he has the money to arm the soldiers recruited by his family.
The militia led by Baron Simide were very excited when they learned that the equipment in front of them was all for them, knowing that they had an agreement with the lord, and this agreement was that they would take half of the loot and all the spoils would belong to them, and they were just following the lord's orders, after all, they were too poor to live, so they decided to fight with their own lord.
After the refugee soldiers in front of him finished wearing their equipment, Yan Tielong ordered Baron Merrojne to gather the soldiers, and at the same time attack Taoyan City together once the soldiers arrived, and then led his own 600 cavalry and 500 infantry to start advancing towards Taoyan City.
When the soldiers of Taoyan City saw Yan Tielong and them appear, he hurriedly reported to the lord, after all, they knew that the enemy in front of them was the demon in the mouth of their lord.
When Count Taubergus heard the soldier's report of the demon's sight, he nervously asked the soldier how many enemies there were.
When Count Taubergues heard that the demon was only leading more than a thousand people, he breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he did not believe that the other party could take down his city with a thousand men.
Knowing from the gatekeepers that the demon was only attacking one city, and the other gates did not even have a single soldier, this made Count Taubergus very puzzled, after all, once the city could not be defended, then Count Taubergus would lead people to escape.
In fact, the reason why Yan Tielong attacked one city gate and there was no soldier at the other city gates was that he believed that Count Tao Baigus would not be able to escape at all; even if Count Tao Baigus could escape, and his family stayed here, he would not have the strength to do so, and it would be irrelevant to Yan Tielong.
Soon Yan Tielong asked the soldiers to build ten catapults from the forest, and then commanded the catapults to attack Taoyan City, while also waiting for reinforcements to arrive.
What Yan Tielong didn't expect was that Tao Yancheng had already prepared, and when Yan Tielong commanded the soldiers to push the catapult to an effective range, Tao Yancheng threw six large stones of more than ten catties.
Yan Tielong found that the five big stones were not on the right track, but one of them fell from the position of the team led by Baron Simiid behind him.
So Yan Tielong slashed the big stone that flew above his head and split it apart; Qiang Ran Yan Tielong had already split the big stone into pieces, but the split small stone still caused damage to the infantry, but fortunately it was not very serious.
For Yan Tielong's bravery, the morale of the soldiers led by Baron Simiid skyrocketed, after all, for them, they can block the big stone with a hundred catties of power, which only the legendary brave can do.
Then Yan Tielong and Tao Yancheng began to throw stones to attack each other for nearly three hours, of course, due to Yan Tielong's protection, Yan Tielong's side did not suffer much loss, but the catapults on Tao Yancheng's side were almost destroyed, and even the city wall was smashed out of a gap.
And the reason why Yan Tielong stopped the catapult was because he wanted to welcome reinforcements of his 8,000 armed forces, after all, there were 2,000 Ospie troops led by Elia, and the remaining 6,000 armed forces were summoned by Baron Merrojne for the surrounding nobles, and the combat power was a little bad.
With nearly 8,000 armed reinforcements, Yan Tielong decided that as long as the catapult broke the city wall, then his whole army would press into Taoyan City.
It's just that when Yan Tielong wanted to attack the city with catapults again, Tao Yancheng opened the city gate and sent two envoys and a prisoner to surrender to Yan Tielong.
The messenger stated that their lord, Count Tauberges, said that he would be willing to be a tainted witness and take his eldest son hostage as long as the kingdom of Sirolugus recognized his status and territory.
In order to show his sincerity, Count Tauberge escorted the youngest son of Viscount Kuba Zilei to Yan Tielong.
