Chapter 255: Recapture the Seven Cross Fortress
Two days later, Mo Shen personally led three thousand troops towards the Seven Cross Fortress, this time Mo Shen prepared a large number of catapults and ballistas, I have to say that the manufacturing capacity of Lion City is stronger than that of Changhe Town, according to the information on the intelligence, there were not many civilians in the Seven Cross Fortress itself.
After all, the Seven Crosses Fortress is not an ordinary town fortress, because the geography is willing, the Seven Crosses Fortress is completely one, and the military fortress on the border is to be lower than the invasion of the emperor, and those civilians who are doing business during this time have already left the Seven Cross Fortress.
Now in the Seven Crosses Fortress, all of them are emperors, so that Mo Shen can let go of the fight, the reason why when attacking the Lion City, Mo Shen almost gave up the catapult attack, not because the catapult is not powerful enough, but because there are a large number of people in the Lion City, which are all the people of the Lion Realm.
Mo Shen understands that if you want to ascend the throne smoothly and sit on the throne of the Lion Realm, the people's will is the most important thing, and it turns out that Mo Shen's approach is correct, in fact, it is not only because of Sadrico's surrender that everyone surrendered, but also because most of the family members of those soldiers live in the city.
Mo Shen's approach won their hearts, and this was the reason why they chose to surrender, not because they were afraid of Mo Shen, but because they agreed with Mo Shen.
Now the people in the Lion City, none of them say that Mo Shen is bad, the cohesion of the Lion Realm is unprecedentedly strong, Duke Elvwan and Duke Brenus also know in their hearts that Mo Shen's ambition is not only limited to the Lion Realm, but also they also understand that it is better to cooperate sincerely than to oppose each other between the two of them.
What do they have a hunch that in the future, the chaos in the Pande Continent will be restored under Mo Shen's conquest, and once they succeed, then at that time, they will no longer just have one or two cities, so whether it is for the sake of future interests or for something else, only cooperating with Mo Shen is correct.
And they are not fools, if there is another infighting between them, or if Mo Shen's orders are disobeyed, this new king, His Majesty, will destroy them sooner or later, just look at the fate of Duke Allama.
At this time, Mo Shen's army had arrived outside the Seven Cross Fortress, after Mo Shen gave the order to attack, it was only less than half an hour, and he successfully captured the Seven Cross Fortress, the emperor ** in the fortress, there was not even a general, and more than 300 emperors were captured in this battle.
Mo Shen thought about it and guessed the reason, it was likely that the previous war was related to the invasion of the Duchy of Dexia, and there must have been something going on inside the emperor.
Sitting in the big tent of the Seven Cross Fortress, Mo Shen called a junior officer in the emperor's ** over.
"Tell me, where is your marshal Justes?
The Seven Crosses Fortress is so empty?" Mo Shen asked.
"Lord Mo Shen, last night....... Last night Marshal Justers, with ten commanders and a large army, was evacuated, it is said that ...... It is said that Emperor Marius removed Lord Justus from the position of marshal and appointed his uncle Levius as the new marshal. The petty officer said.
"Well, I know you go down," Mo Shen said with a wave of his hand.
Sorrento smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor ** is really destroying the city wall, and he finally took the Seven Cross Fortress, but it was taken by us like this." ”
"Hehe, to put it mildly, all the ** teams are good, it's just that they have a brain-dead king, and Marius is also crazy, as far as I know, Justes's prestige in the empire is very great, and even nearly two-thirds of the generals in the army are his students, or single-handed.
This battle Justes is actually not a loss, and I have also read the intelligence in the previous wars, Justes has a lot of credit, and now that the Duchy of Dexia has declared war on the Empire, and we have also declared war with the Empire, that Marius actually dared to remove the meritorious marshal at this time, he is really looking for death. Mo Shen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this wolf son ambition of the Duchy of Dexia, I'm afraid that sooner or later in the future, he will attack our Lion Realm. Sorrento said.
"You're right, but the current enemy of the Duchy of Dexia is not us, you look at it, the Sava Fort is also very important to the empire, and the emperor will definitely not give up, I'm afraid that in the future, the Savoie Fort will probably be a meat grinder, but this is only good for us. Mo Shen said.
"Your Majesty, what you said is true, but next, should we take advantage of the war between the Emperor ** and the Duchy of Dexia to attack the imperial cities on the border?" asked Sorrento.
"Since you said it, according to what I know about you, you must have some thoughts, right? Mo Shen asked.
"Your Majesty, you see, now the emperor's energy must be on the Sava River Fort, and a few days ago, our spies came to report that Kalunburg and Shield Wind Fort only have less than seven hundred defenders, and these two castles are very close to us, we can send troops from Changhe Town to support Yongdun Fort and attack Dunfeng Fort.
At the same time, we will send troops from the Lion City and the Seven Crosses Fortress to attack Kalenburg, once we can capture these two castles, then it will provide a very great strategic significance for us to attack the empire in the future, and we can take advantage of the geographical location of these two castles to directly attack Bozhi City!" Sorrento said.
"Well, I've thought about what you said, but when do you think the best time to send troops?" Mo Shen asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I don't need me to say that you have also thought of it, that is, after the battle between the Duchy of Dexia and the Emperor ** enters the white heat, let's take advantage of the situation to send troops, in this way, even if the Empire has the heart to fight us, it will not be capable, after all, the Sava River Fort will directly threaten the Imperial Capital of Siyuan City!" Sorrento said.
"Well, you're right, I think so too, leave a thousand defenders in the Seven Crosses Fortress, and then let's go back to the Lion City, during this time hurry up to recruit troops and make ballistas, although the ballista can only be loaded with three iron crossbows at a time, but think about it, if we have hundreds of ballistas, there is a city that can stop us. Mo Shen said.
"No!"
Early the next morning, after leaving behind the former defenders, Mo Shen led his troops back to Lion City, and at the same time asked Byrne to arrange for Elvwan and Brenus to come to Lion City.
Two days later, in the war room in the palace of the Lion City, Duke Brenus spoke: "Your Majesty, yesterday in the Sava Fort, a big battle broke out between the Empire and Dexia, and the two sides once again gathered about 5,000 troops, but in the end, although the Emperor won a small victory, this morning, the Duchy of Dexia once again sent troops to recapture the Sava Fort. ”
"Your Majesty, I have received some news about the Raven Realm and Fieldsway, Fields has gathered a large number of troops and is preparing to retake Iron Oak City, but the Raven Realm is unwilling to give up and is also gathering forces. Alfwan said.
"Well, I also received the information that the two of you said, but this is our chance, this time I called you over, first of all, Duke Elfwan, you mobilize a thousand soldiers, responsible for supporting our army near Changhe Town at any time, and at the same time, I am worried that the Duchy of Dexia will choose to join forces with Fieldsway.
So Duke Brennus, I've been keeping an eye on Kyle Ledam City and Howling City during this time!" Mo Shen said.
"No!"
At this time, in Siyuan City, the imperial capital of the empire, Ma Luo listened angrily to the report of his subordinates.
"Bastards, what about Justus, and Agathon and Valerius?" asked Emperor Marius angrily.
"Your Majesty, the three adults are unable to come to Siyuan City on the grounds that they are seriously injured, and they are recuperating in their respective cities!" said a civil official.
"Bastards, they actually withdrew all the soldiers of the Seven Cross Fortress, and now the Seven Cross Fortress has been recaptured by the Lion Realm!" Emperor Marius said angrily.
"Urgent military situation at the front, Marshal Livius has been defeated by the army of the Duchy of Dexia, and has now withdrawn from the fort of the Sava River, asking for your Majesty's support!" said the herald.
Boom! Emperor Marius heard the herald's words and knocked over the fruit bowl on the table.
