Chapter 239: Battle Song of Ice and Fire (1) The Twins Fall

In September 2136 of the York calendar, the northern expedition of the Crescent Kingdom, which has been described in the history of the continent, began.

Let's go ahead of Lancelot, as a long-term general under George, Lancelot is not only experienced but also clear-headed, Lancelot has elite magic crossbowmen in his hands, if the other party does not have a Vis submachine gun, these elites of Lancelot have unparalleled deterrence.

Lancelot had tried to conquer the Twin Cities many times, after all, this place once belonged to the Kingdom of Da Yu, that is, the territory of the Crescent Kingdom, and George ceded the Twin Cities in order to win over the Northern Kingdom.

Now, Lancelot is ready to conquer the Twin Cities and turn them into the territory of the Crescent once again.

"Lord Marquis, now that our army is approaching the Twin Cities, do you want to attack?"

"Don't worry, we don't know the other party's layout yet, and we don't know if the other party retains the Weiss infantry! Let's send troops to harass the surrounding cities first, and try the quality of the other party's main general!"

"Lord Marquis, what about which force we send?"

"Go and call Randy, and the task of raiding the surrounding cities will be handed over to him!"

"Lord Marquis, the son is still old... ”

"No, I was about the same age when I led the soldiers, learn to lead the soldiers early, there are still many things waiting for him to do in the future!"

Randy is the best of Lancelot's children, among whom he is the most magical, and he has a flexible brain and is good at change, Lancelot often takes Randy with him, teaching him by word and deed, hoping that Randy will inherit his mantle in the future.

Randy is very humble and down-to-earth, and does not neglect others because he is Lancelot's son, but often asks for advice from the generals around him who are more experienced than him.

This time, Randy led 5,000 cavalry to raid the area around the Twin Cities.

The defender of the Twin Cities is called Minensky, Minensky's family is very powerful, in order to seek the position of the defender of the Twin Cities, the family has invested a lot of money, in the past few years of Mingen's tenure, Mingen not only frantically looted the people's wealth, but also got a lot of resources from the Twin Cities back to his family.

This time, the Twin Cities were besieged by the army of the Crescent Country, and Ming En was not in a hurry, after all, the Twin Cities were not only strong but also had sufficient resources, even if the 100,000 troops of the Crescent Kingdom continued to attack, they might not be able to take it!

When Randy attacked the surrounding cities, he found that most of the city's civilians were living in a miserable situation, their families had basically run out of food by the army, and the long-term bullying made the people very afraid of the army, while the nobles in the city were even more murderous, only caring about exploiting and oppressing the people.

"The northern kingdom has been reformed for many years, but why is the fate here so miserable... ”

"General, don't you know, the northern country is basically managed by the aristocracy, although it has undergone many reforms, but the reform decree has not touched the fundamentals, the northern nobles have a lot of copper leakage to drill the camp, in the long run, the nobles gradually got all the power into their own hands, so that the reform was abandoned halfway. ”

"Every time my father mentioned the reform in the south, he would mention Lord Yelon, and I thought that Yelon's methods were too radical, but now it seems that if the reform is not complete, then all the efforts made by everyone will come to naught!"

"General, you may not know that Duke Milu has reformed in the south many times back then, all of which ended in failure, and most of the decrees of our Crescent Country were formulated by Duke Milu, but when Duke Milu implemented them, he failed to implement them... ”

"My father used to let me go to various regions to see, and it seems that my father's intentions are far-reaching! Only by experiencing it for myself can I understand whether my efforts are effective or not!"

"General, I think your ability is not only limited to leading troops, you are also very good at government affairs, and you will definitely be able to ascend to a higher position in the future!"

"Okay, okay, I'm just a fledgling son,,, I have to rely on everyone in the future, if I can be promoted in the future, your credit is indispensable!"

Randy led his army to capture several cities in a row, and the armies in these cities were very scattered, and they were basically defeated just after seeing Randy's army.

While Randy conquered the cities, he also promoted the policies of the Crescent Nation to the people in these cities, and many people applied to join the Crescent Nation after learning about the decrees of the Crescent Country.

Randy sent someone to arrange for these would-be people to return to the rear.

Minensky didn't care about Randy's harassment, as long as he wasn't attacked here, then he could toss the Crescent Kingdom army no matter what!

Lancelot was surprised to see Minensky's reaction... Could it be that there is any trick that cannot be done, why is Minensky acting so steady, and is it possible that the Drifting Snow Country will send such a person to guard the military town of Twin Cities? If this is the case, you are not welcome.

"Send out some more scouts to see if there are any ambushes around the Twin Cities!

"Lord Marquis, we really haven't found any ambushes so far!"

"Don't be careless, wait for a while, don't let go of any details!"

Lancelot sent a large number of scouts to repeatedly probe around the Twin Cities, and found that there was no ambush... It seems that the Drifting Snow Country has given up on the Twin Cities, after all, the geographical location of the Twin Cities is relatively awkward, except for a few cities around the Twin Cities, most of the area further west is the undulating hills and Gobi, and the Drifting Snow Country has no interest in these lands that do not have any oil and water.

Lancelot relieved himself this time, and gradually gathered his army around the Twin Cities, preparing to attack the Twin Cities.

"Randy, how about giving you a difficult task?

"Father, of course I dare, I can now lead troops skillfully, I hope I can make meritorious contributions on the battlefield!"

"Hmph, you bastard, you just rode a horse and ran a few laps and dared to learn to lead the troops yourself... Okay, that's the case,,, although there are no traces of Weiss infantry in the surrounding area for the time being, but we can't be careless, I'm going to let you lead troops to ambush around, your task is not to block the enemy, but to prepare to identify what kind of enemy army is attacking, if it's Weiss infantry or tank troops, immediately rule me with the fastest speed, this task is very difficult, do you dare to follow?"

"Father,,, you have arranged a quiet job for me... Everyone knows that the Northland has no heavy troops in the Twin Cities... I can't even participate in siege battles, it's so boring!"

"Randy, fighting is not a child's play, I didn't joke with you, the task of detecting the enemy's situation is also very important, I believe that you gave you this task! ”

"Okay, father,,, I know, I'll take the troops immediately, don't worry, I will definitely investigate the surrounding situation according to your requirements!"

After Randy left, Lancelot sighed, although his son is very outstanding, but still a little tsundere, this problem is not good, young fame is inevitably too contemptuous of opponents, when he followed George to fight in the north and south, he saw countless famous generals died under frivolity, Lancelot didn't want his son to become a too arrogant general.

With everything arranged, Lancelot began to attack the Twin Cities.

The structure of the Twin Cities is very interesting, they are two separate cities, and Minensky obviously has no experience in defense, and actually sets up defenses in both cities, which results in too much dispersion of the defense.

"Lord Marquis, where are we fighting? Where did the Drifting Snow Country find so many soldiers, Lord Marquis, you see that the city is densely packed with people!"

"Hmph, but they're all private soldiers... You see, the styles of those Rao armors are different, and many soldiers wear simple half-body armor, or leather armor, it seems that the ability of the generals defending the city is not very good... ”

"Lord Marquis, where do we choose to attack?

"Look at the road to the east ... There are a lot of ruts there... The road to the west is covered with sparse grass, so there are not many vehicles passing by in the west... ”

"Lord Marquis, what a clever plan, then we will attack the city to the east!"

"Hmmm... We concentrate our forces on a feint to the east, and then we concentrate our forces on the cities in the west!"

"Marquis, ??? you?"

"Haha! The opponent's defense in the east must be very strong, although we can take it by storming, but we need to pay too much price! We will first capture the west, and then dig a tunnel from the west to let the army attack through the tunnel at night! Then our army's losses will be reduced to the maximum!"

Everyone looked at Lancelot with admiration, not because of Lancelot's subtlety, but because Lancelot was sympathetic to his soldiers, and everyone felt honored to be able to serve under such a soldier-loving general...

The people of the Twin Cities, Minensky seemed very nervous, he used money and connections to get this position, and how many catties and taels he had, Minensky still knew it.

"My lord, the army of the Crescent Moon Nation has begun to attack!"

"Gather the elite army and bring me the army of the Crescent Moon Kingdom to the city!"

Despite Minensky's heroism, Minensky did not want to go to the battlefield at all, and after assigning several generals, Minensky hid in the basement of his house, waiting for the results outside.

"My lord, my lord, the army of the Crescent Moon Country was repulsed, and the opponent's attack was not too sharp, and it was easily repelled by our army!"

"My lord, my lord! Oh no, no! The city to the west has been breached by the army of the Crescent Nation!"

"What? The group of rubbish in the west, I already knew that they couldn't be relied on! Forget about it, let's break it! Defend our side well, there is nothing in the west, it's all a bunch of mud-legged people living in the west, regardless of them!"

During the night, Lancelot again led his army to a feint, and a large number of troops were concentrated in the east, although the momentum was amazing, but it was not really put into the elite...

But Minensky in the Twin Cities was terrified, could it be that the army of the Crescent Moon Kingdom was trying to use the night attack to break through their city?

"How's going on outside? Someone has sent out the most elite troops, and they must stop each other. ”

"My lord, don't panic, our elites have all been dispatched, don't worry, even if the other party launches a night attack, it won't be easy to attack!"

The shouts of killing became louder and louder, and the army of the Crescent Moon Kingdom outside the city set off waves of siegers.

The defenders of the city also began to beat drums... Is the other party going to make a desperate bet?

After all, the army of the Crescent Kingdom was only a feint, although the momentum was huge, but it did not last long, and the army gradually withdrew...

"The Crescent Moon Country has withdrawn, go and report to your lordship!"

Seeing that the army of the Crescent Kingdom was once again repulsed, the generals defending the city were anxious to report to Minensky and sent someone to report to Minensky about the situation of defending the city.

"Good news, my lord! The army of the Crescent Moon Kingdom has been repulsed! The night attack has failed!"

"Hmph! I expected that, uh-huh... The army of the Crescent Kingdom is not to worry, everyone should have a good rest, and prepare to continue to defend the city tomorrow. ”

It also gradually deepened,,, Lancelot gradually infiltrated from the tunnel with elite troops, and in a short time after sneaking in, Lancelot led the elite crossbowmen to kill all the guards of the surrounding towers, and replaced them with his own people, with the increase in the number of people entering the city, soon formed a military formation, Lancelot led the army, and began to move towards the city lord's mansion...

In the silence of the night, there was a faint sound of countless bowstrings breaking through the air, and soldiers were constantly falling to the ground, and Lancelot soon led the army to attack the city lord's mansion.

Minensky had just fallen asleep when he noticed a noise gradually appearing outside the house...

"Come on, see who's making noise outside, catch me, I have to tear these bastards who don't know the thickness of the high ground and feed them to the dogs!"

"My lord! My lord! Oh no, it's not good! Flee quickly! The enemy army has hit the city! It's just outside the city lord's mansion!"

Minensky got up with a grunt and hurried out without even putting on his clothes!

As soon as he ran outside the house, Minensky saw the corpses of his own soldiers all over the ground, and not far away stood rows of elite crossbowmen and pikemen, and a general in bright silver armor was smiling at him with a long sword at his waist...

"Excuse me,,, who is Your Excellency?"

"I'm Lancelot, the commander of the army of the Crescent Country's West Road!"

"Oh,,, it's the Marquis... You see, I was forced to die for the snow, knight, I have always admired His Majesty George, and I have long hoped to be loyal to His Majesty... ”

"Alright, alright, Lord Minensky, I'm not going to kill you, I'm not going to keep you, I'm going to give you a chance to regroup, I'm going to let you go back today, I hope you can continue to organize the army, and we'll fight it out next time... ”

"Lord Marquis? Is yours real? Okay, I'll reluctantly go back and organize another army, and I'll talk to you again... Then I'm gone???"

"Okay! Let's go! ”

The time Minensky walked out of the Twin Cities, he couldn't believe that he was free, and kept looking back, for fear that there would be pursuers behind him, but no matter how many times he turned back, he could only see endless darkness... It turns out that this is true, and he is free! Without hesitation, Minensky and one of the guards around him mounted their war horses and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"Lord Lancelot, why did you put them back?"

"This is still what I learned with Your Majesty before,,, waste must be put back, so that as long as he continues to lead the army, we can easily win every battle after that... ”

A kind of general began to look at each other... It turns out that His Majesty's means are so... Brilliant...
