Chapter 185: The Glory of the White Lion (2) The decisive battle of Panya

There are many things that can break people down in this world, and one of them is the lack of food.

If it is a solid family, three meals a day, then you can barely survive without eating one meal occasionally.

But compared to those who work hard, or those who are tall soldiers, the hunger in their stomachs will turn them into a mess of soft mud.

Nearly 100,000 people in the fortress have lost their food sources.

Originally, the aristocratic coalition wanted to solve the food problem by collecting grain near the fortress of Panya.

The villages around the fortress have long since been scorched, and even if some barely survived, they would have joined the rebels.

There was no food source from outside, and the food stocks in the fortress had been depleted.

100,000 people, even 100,000 ants will not consume too little in a day, and the endless haze is shrouded in everyone's hearts, after all, no one wants to die, especially to be starved to death!

The food ration for ordinary soldiers was reduced from one meal a day to one meal every three days.

Soon after, even one meal for three days was not guaranteed!

Unable to resist hunger, all began to fight for rations in small wars.

Seeing that the collapse of the aristocratic alliance was imminent, Zhenkun seized the opportunity to attack the Panya Fortress.

Hungry and unable to even hold a weapon, how can he raise Zhenkun's army, the fortress was captured in one day.

In this unsuspenseful battle, only thirty percent of the nobles fled from the city, and the rest of the nobles, including their soldiers, were all killed.

Although he took the Peppera Fortress, Zhenkun was not interested in occupying it.

What impresses Zhenkun is the weapons and baggage here, and Zhenkun's troops have always been short of weapons and armor.

This time he was able to successfully occupy the rock climbing fortress, and the strength of Zhenkun's army has been greatly improved.

Like everyone else, Zhenkun also faced the problem of not having food.

If you want to hold Panya, you must get enough food, but for the Giant Elephant Country, which has been fighting for many years, neither the national army nor the rebels have much food in stock.

After thinking twice, Zhenkun chose to give up Panya, but before the army could retreat, Duke Papong's army arrived.

Zhenkun had no choice but to stay in Panya Fortress temporarily.

The Papon army was originally heading towards Baiyun City, and the marching half learned that Baiyun City had repelled the army of the White Lion Kingdom and inflicted heavy losses on its main force.

This news surprised Papon very much, how could the elite army of the White Lion Kingdom also meet the nemesis?

It seems that Duke Zheyu is still very powerful, since he has defended Baiyun City, he can't just go back, he must do something meaningful, Papong's army changed its route and headed towards Panya Fortress.

"Lord Duke, do you think that we can successfully defeat the enemy army by attacking Panya Fortress this time?"

"Hmph, I don't think we need to worry about whether we can capture Panya this time, what worries me more is our rear!"

"Lord Duke, aren't we getting enough supplies in the back, do we really need to worry about supplies?"

"You've just been a lieutenant general, it seems. You haven't dealt with the Crescent Kingdom yet, have you?"

"Lord Duke, although I am young, I still have some command experience, please don't underestimate me!"

"Haha, it's good to be motivated, but you should have heard of it, every time the Crescent Moon King fights, no matter how many troops the other party has, it can be easily defeated!"

"Lord Duke, but we're fighting the rebels right now!"

"No, our opponent is the White Lion Kingdom, and it won't be long before they come!"

"Lord Duke, it's a big deal that we can defend the city! Panya City is so high, the other party can't easily attack it!"

"Haha, so what if the other side harasses our supply lines?"

The young officer was suddenly stunned, not knowing how to answer, Papon snorted and rode away, apparently this complex question that even Papon did not know what to do.

Inside the Panya Fortress, Zhenkun saw the banner of Papong and felt a little weak.

If there were other troops of the Giant Elephant Country on the other side, it would be completely true, but Papong was a famous general of the Giant Elephant Country.

There is a high chance that he will be defeated in the face of Papong, so the materials he worked so hard to get before will be lost in vain.

After thinking about it again and again, Zhenkun came up with a plan, on the surface, Zhenkun gathered a large army to put on a position, prepared for a decisive battle with Papong, and secretly dispatched elite to escort a large number of supplies back to his station, and the troops lost were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and it would not be a pity if they were lost.

"Lord Zhenkun, we have already arranged the army, should we retreat now?"

"Okay, retreat, remember to be fast, especially weapons and armor, take them away first!"

"My lord, what about the treasure?"

"Don't be so short-sighted, what kind of city can't be defeated when we have weapons, transport weapons first, don't hesitate!"

Tens of thousands of old and weak people are in front of the Papong army, waiting for the fate of dying together! The look of death as if it were a return and the wildness of abandoning life and death have made these people have an indescribable temperament and pressure!

In Papon's eyes, this situation becomes a different hypothesis.

The other side dispatched a large number of old and weak, what are they going to do? It won't be to lure themselves into attacking!

"Lord Duke, it seems that the other party has no strength anymore, and the army is so unbearable, all of them are old, weak, and disabled!

"Hmph, what do you know? We can't attack rashly, the enemy is likely to have ambushed heavy troops, waiting for us to send them to the door! These people are just bait for the enemy to send out!"

"I see, Lord Duke, you are so clever! We admire you... ”

"Alright! Don't be a sycophant, listen to your stomach! Immediately send out a reconnaissance force to check the surrounding situation and search to determine the enemy's main force! I want to see what tricks the enemy is going to play!"

Papong's army quickly divided into several units and searched around the fortress, and all the scout cavalry reported the news that the fortress was constantly coming and going.

Papon believes that this situation is absolutely abnormal, there must be an ambush, and his troops must not blindly enter the palace, but must fight steadily.

"Withdraw our troops, look for dangerous terrain and set up camp, isn't the enemy trying to ambush us? We are not fooled, we hold the dangerous terrain and see what the other side can do!"

"Lord Duke, you are really a soldier! ”

A few days later, a large number of supplies in the city were taken away, and Zhenkun also led the army to leave.

By the time Papong's reconnaissance team found out that the other party had withdrawn, the building was already empty!

"Lord Duke is so powerful, he actually scared the other party's army away!"

"Yes, Lord Duke is worthy of being the god of war in the Giant Elephant Country!"

Regardless of everyone's praise, Papon checked the clues in the Panya Fortress in detail, and finally determined one thing, a large number of supplies were missing, it turned out that he had been fooled!

As soon as Papong's army gained a foothold in the fortress of Panya, Ian's army arrived, and the majestic white lion knights and rows of neat and well-organized military formations all announced the strength of the white lion kingdom's military appearance.

"Lord Duke, is that the army of the White Lion Kingdom?

"Really, you look at the formation on the other side, and you ask yourself if you can put it out, and even if you can, how should you command?"

"This ,,, me ... ”

Papon stared worriedly at the army in front of him, and said in his heart, it's over, I'm afraid I'm going to be martyred this time, I didn't expect it!

Believing that the fortress of Panya was easy to defend and difficult to attack, Ian decided to abandon the siege and adopt a siege method, and divided multiple forces to harass and intercept, not only cutting off Papong's supplies, but also intercepting a large amount of supplies.

Ian distributed the supplies and weapons to the rebels, so that the small group of rebels who had been scared by the army of the Giant Elephant Kingdom were rejuvenated again, and they all went to kill all parts of the Giant Elephant Country!

"Lord Duke, no, our supply line has been cut off, do you want to send troops to open up the supply line?"

"Hmph, that's really the case, how long can our food stock last now?"

"Lord Duke, our food stock can last for a month!"

"Start mobilizing all the troops, we have to fight the miscellaneous people of the White Lion Kingdom!"

"Lord Duke, is there finally a decisive battle? Let's go and prepare, we will definitely defeat each other!"

The next day, Papong gave up the advantage of defending the city and led his troops to prepare for a decisive battle with Ian outside the fortress of Panya.

Ian thought that the other party would go out of the city to look for fighters in more than ten days, but he didn't expect that Papong couldn't hold it back at this time, or that Papong fought with himself in order not to be trapped by himself while there was still food in stock and the soldiers maintained a certain combat strength, I have to say that Papong still has a bit of brains.

Ian led the army and Papong's army to face off from afar.

Papon's army had longbowmen and was not afraid of the light ballista cavalry of Ian's troops, but Ian sent George's reinforcements this time, and the magic crossbow cavalry was strong.

Papon was surprised at first when he saw that the other side had dispatched a force of several hundred men, how could he start shooting from such a distance? Is it adjusting the range?

In the next second, countless Giant Elephant Nation longbowmen were shot through the chest.

"Damn, what are these people using! Why can you shoot so far? Send out cavalry to chase the opposing crossbowmen!"

"Lord Duke, we don't have many cavalry! ”

"There is no other way, if our longbowmen lose too much, they will not be able to stop the opposing light ballista!"

Ian saw the opponent's cavalry attacking, and a chuckle leaked from the corner of his mouth, is it a novice knight who doesn't have much combat power?

It just so happens that you have a long-term sought-after who has not experienced a few major wars, so let your long-term stalker test the water.

5,000 sought-after and 2,000 long-term fighters were mixed into a human wall of more than 7,000 and began to block the offensive of the opposing cavalry!

"Look, Lord Duke, the other side actually sent infantry to meet the cavalry!

"Oh, there is such a thing? It's not good to let the cavalry withdraw quickly! The other party must have something to rely on, otherwise it wouldn't be so unscrupulous!"

"No, Lord Duke, there is no cavalry that can't beat the infantry! ”

After a brief period of fright, Ian's pikemen gradually took advantage of the pikeman's formation, and the long-go's hand also began to play a role, and Papon's cavalry was surrounded and couldn't move!

Papon gritted his teeth and ordered: "Send out the elite infantry, attack the opposing infantry, and the longbowmen cover!"

Ian saw that the other side had dispatched infantry, as long as he wanted to entangle the troops of both sides and use the infantry to suppress his own leader.

Hmph! I can't let you get what you want! Crossbowmen are dispatched to concentrate on destroying the opposing infantry!

Three thousand crossbowmen began to move forward, tilting a rain of arrows towards the infantry of the Elephant Nation.

Papon was waiting for the opponent's strong crossbowmen, exposed to the layers of defense.

"Order! Dispatch the Heavy Armored Battle Tiger and kill all the crossbowmen on the opposite side!"

The heavily armored battle tiger began to charge, ordinary crossbow arrows could not penetrate the heavy armor, and the strong crossbow soldier position was breached!

Behind Ian, a number of summoners with silver eagles embroidered on their chests suddenly appeared, and they summoned the Three-Eyed Wind Monster and instructed the Three-Eyed Wind Monster to throw boulders into the midst of the battle tigers.

In fact, there are already more than half of the Crescent Kingdom troops in Ian's army, but now Ian's prestige has reached its peak, and the White Lion Kingdom army has long been served by Ian's military orders, so no one is surprised by the changes in the army.

"Lord Duke, look, it's not good, the Battle Tiger Cavalry is being suppressed by the other party!

"Damn, the order, all the troops assaulted the opponent's main formation, the opponent's main force was all dispatched, and now the formation is empty, and it is our only chance to win!"

Papong led all the elite guards of his private army and began to attack Ian's main position.

Ian laughed when he saw the other party's army attacking him, it seems that the prestige of the summoner family has been forgotten by the people of this world for the time being!

The legend of the Capetian summoner will be re-tolded in the world starting today!

The Silver Eagle Mage Corps has summoned countless summoned creatures, and even a legendary magical creature, the Poison Fire Lizard, has appeared.

In the last days of Papon's life, he saw countless magic bombarding his side!Why?Isn't the Capet family history?Why is it here?I am not reconciled... Unwilling!

Ian sent 5,000 light crossbow cavalry to finish up and disperse all the Elephant Nation troops.

"Lord Ian, we have won! You are really clever and have a good way of leading your troops!"

"Don't talk nonsense, we have too many recruits this time, and the battle damage is not small, this battle is not too good! Hurry up and clean up the battlefield and bury the dead brother well!"

"Ian-sama, you see it's the corpse of the enemy leader!"

Ian came to Papong's body and cut off Papong's head.

"Someone, pack Papong's head and send it to Skyscraper! Let the Elephant Nation of the Giant Elephant know what will happen if you go against us!"

"Lord Ian, the fortress of Panya is empty, will we occupy it?"

"Withdraw troops, Panya Fortress is currently an empty city, and our supply line is too long, which is not conducive to defense, first withdraw to rest and recuperate, and then send troops to Baiyun City!

After the withdrawal of the White Lion Kingdom's army, many rebels took a fancy to the fortress and began to occupy it and began to infiltrate the skyscraper.

Skyscraper, inside the palace, Mi Kun happily commanded a large-scale dance, having a lot of fun, outside the palace, everyone was in a mess, except for the Praetorian Guard, there was no military force anymore, and the rebels were already going to fight outside the city!

One of the ministers said ruthlessly: "For the sake of today's plan, I can only advise the king to go to the south temporarily!"

"Yes, let's go to Duke Milou with the king!

After enjoying the song and dance, Mi Kun came to his dormitory alone, Mi Kun tidied up his clothes, and then lit the grease that had been prepared for many days, and the dormitory suddenly burst into flames.

A few days later, all the ministers and nobles of the Sky City moved south! The history of the Elephant Kingdom entered a corner here, and the era of Queen Milu began.
