Chapter 119: The Battle of the Two Heroes (2) Input
After the Saliwan army took control of the Gale Fortress, they did not continue to march towards Amesvalon, but steadily managed the Gale Fortress. See. Wool, Chinese net
The Golden Lion Kingdom is built on the basis of the Black Diamond Kingdom, which has lost a lot of national strength after many wars, and the most important thing now is not to conquer the city, but to make time for steady development in the country and accumulate national strength.
In the past two months, Saliwan has vigorously restrained his troops and continuously sent special envoys to reassure the people, and all the cities around the Gale Wind Fortress have been annexed.
Shaliwan strictly ordered the army not to harass civilians, this is the most important thing, and if a soldier dares to harass civilians, he will be punished with death.
Sha Liwan inspected the Gale Fortress many times, found out the weak points, strengthened the Gale Fortress again, and built more tall towers around the fortress, preparing to continue to build a strong low wall on the periphery, with two high and low walls to defend, it is difficult for even the strongest army to capture the Gale Fortress.
After a few months, the hard work of the previous investment began to pay off, and the inner stability of the Golden Lion Kingdom began to gradually stabilize, and the nobles and commoners gradually adapted to the rule of the new king.
Worthen also successively issued several decrees to benefit the people, so that the common people completely settled down, and the national strength of the Golden Lion Kingdom gradually returned to the level when Andrei had just succeeded to the throne, you must know that the strength of the Black Diamond Kingdom was still very strong at that time, and the Black Diamond Kingdom was still a behemoth in the East.
On the Amesvalon side, led by George, a series of moves were also initiated.
George took Lancelot and Alexei to a treacherous terrain near Gale Fortress, and after many surveys, began to build a camp and establish a stronghold.
"Brother George, let's build a stronghold here, won't the other party come to find trouble?
"Lord Duke, my sister is about to give birth, don't you go back to see her?" I don't think Sha Liwan has made a big move for the time being, why don't we also take the opportunity to hoard strength, and now it doesn't make much sense for us to lead the army to guard here, right?"
George laughed and said: "You don't understand, right? This place is a bait, just to lure Shaliwan to attack, as long as Shaliwan continues to attack here, then it will become a war of attrition, although our army is numerous, but it is not a simple matter to capture the Gale Fortress, so when to consume Shaliwan to death, the set goal will be achieved!"
After receiving the news that George had built a camp on the nearby dangerous terrain, he was very disappointed, it seemed that the other party's general was a mediocre talent, what was the purpose of building a camp under his nose? The biggest purpose was to lure himself to divide his troops to attack, and it was rumored that the Crescent Federation had the most cavalry and strong mobility ability. See. Wool, Chinese net
But if you don't go out, the cavalry field battle is terrible, and the siege is scum, I won't go out to see what you can do? Shaliwan thinks that George's approach is too naïve and too wishful thinking.
In the blink of an eye, in October, Lan Ya gave birth to a big fat boy, named Peter, although George wanted to go back to see the child, but he still held back, he had to be with everyone, mainly he was here, then the people's hearts were here, and his plan could continue to be implemented!
Lanya and Vine mix together every day, not to mention how intimate, Tina and Hugo change to take care of the children every day, and they are very busy, but Tina is still angry and does not return to George.
George saw that Saliwan was too lazy to even move a small group of harassing troops, ready to play big!
George mobilized 30,000 auxiliaries, began to burn paper on a large scale, and chose a dangerous location to start building a fortress based on the camp.
Shaliwan almost got his nose crooked when he saw that George actually started to build a fortress, who is his opponent, Taier, right?
What's the use of you building a fortress? I won't beat you, besides, it takes a long time to build a fortress, and when the fortress is repaired, a few years will pass, and the Golden Lion Kingdom will already be in full swing for a few years!
Shaliwan still underestimated the Crescent Federation's ability to build cities, unlike other countries, the Crescent Federation's burning technology was not monopolized by alchemists, most people knew the operation method, and George collected a lot of insect binders, wrapped in the brick mud of the city, and the bricks burned out were exceptionally strong.
Before the first heavy snowfall in December, the fortress had already taken shape, and Shaliwan had gone out of the city many times to check it, but when he saw the rows of round houses built by George, he laughed heartily! These rows of Western Regions-style Duke Yuancrescent were born as horse thieves, and it seems to be true, isn't this just a group of horse thieves from the Western Regions?
Shaliwan didn't know that this was a domed house that was designed to save construction time, although it looked a little strange, but it was not discounted in use, and the construction time was one-third of that of a normal house.
George looked at the rows of houses and sighed: "The old thief Shaliwan is really spicy, since you don't come to fight me, then I will build a fortress for you to see, and when I get a foothold here, you don't regret it." ”
"Brother George, why do we have to work so hard to build a house? Tens of thousands of people are here to eat and not fight, and the consumption is also very large!"
"Aliksai, don't worry! When the time comes, Shaliwan will definitely not be able to hold it back, and when the time comes, you will shout tired!"
"Lord Duke, why do you say that the old thief is so calm! If I hadn't been able to bear it, I wouldn't have been able to bear it!"
"Lancelot, Shaliwan is indeed a fierce general, but he is not necessarily a good strategist, when he sees a large fortress appear in front of him, it is estimated that he will be crooked!"
In March, when the fort was completed, George ordered the auxiliaries to return to Ammeith Bandung for spring ploughing, leaving 500 men to build the tower.
When Shaliwan saw the towers popping up like weeds, he felt a hint of threat, what kind of magic did these horse thieves use? Repair the fortress so quickly? No! It must be a fake! Just to deceive himself into attacking! Those fortresses must also be vulnerable, they are all fake. Otherwise, how could it be repaired in half a year?
When George mobilized a large number of giant crossbows to be installed on the fortress, Shaliwan couldn't sit still, the fortress in front of him had gradually taken shape, was it a test? No! We must not be fooled, we must continue to train the army and maintain our military strength.
In April, George hung the crescent flag on the fortress, named it Snail City, and began to hoard troops and food and grass.
Behind Snail City, a large number of troops began to be stationed, and George began to gain a foothold here.
When Shaliwan saw George's army, he still felt disdainful! Even if these horse thieves were able to gain a foothold, what could they do?
In May, Snail City was expanded, doubling in size, the walls were stronger, and countless towers had been built.
A smile finally hung on the corner of George's mouth, and it was finally time to fight back, although he had invested countless food and resources, everything was worth it!
Sha Liwan, after all, you are just a fierce general, too rigid, want to hold the Gale Fortress and let the country steadily develop its strength? No way! Today I will let you know how fast the horse thieves in the Western Regions are?
