Chapter 252: Sending troops to the Lion City
A day later, Riddle brought Mo Shen's words to Duke Aldemar, and Duke Alderma smiled happily when he heard it and said, "Okay, okay, this time I see what Alexis is going to fight with me, if this fool hadn't offended Mo Shen to death, how could he be today!haha!"
Riddle said: "My lord, this time the young master must be fine, but now King Gregory has wanted to suppress us, once the young master becomes the commander of Iron Oak City, will the king .............?"
Duke Aldemar waved his hand and said, "No, he doesn't dare! Do you think he is just suppressing our family? The other two dukes are also suppressing, hehe, he doesn't dare to start a war with three families at the same time! And have you forgotten the one in Shadow City? Gregory doesn't dare to jump into a civil war easily."
Alexis and I seem to have fought fiercely over the years, but in fact, Gregory is most afraid of Duke Adarian who made the fall of the bay, you must know that Duke Adarian's father was the one who followed him in the first place...................
Therefore, whether this Iron Oak City is earned by me or Alexis, he will not interfere too much, and whether it is Ulster or Dresser, it is impossible to join forces with Duke Adarian, and that is enough!"
"Your Excellency is wise, but His Royal Highness Mo Shen has given us such a price.............. It's not going to be repaid!" said Riddle.
"Well, that's true, during the time that His Highness Mo Shen was in the Raven Realm, he had a good relationship with us, he was protecting these villages around the Misty Mountain, and at the same time, this battle with Fields Miles was also the time he snapped up Alexis's military rations, which gave us a chance.
When Alexis assassinated Mo Shen, they were already immortal, as the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and when the year is over and the situation is stable, I will find a chance to have a drink with him!" said the Duke of Aldemar.
In the war room of Changhe Town, Mo Shen looked at Sorrento and motioned for Sorrento to speak.
"Your Highness, for the sake of safety, I suggest that Duke Elfwan send troops to patrol the north of the Lion City and the Seven Cross Fortress, near Yarragar, and let's make a detour from Kwyn in the west to the Lion City, and at the same time Duke Brenus will also send troops. In the vicinity of Howling and Kelledan, lest Fields or Descha take advantage of the situation!" Sorrento said.
"Well, just march according to the route you specified, and send two hundred veterans to Fort Shield, I'm worried that the ambitions of the empire have not dissipated, and Fort Shield is now empty, it's a problem, there are 1,000 defenders left in Longriver Town, and the rest will send troops to Lion City, Charles, you can stay in Longriver Town to train recruits."
Teddy, I'll hand you over a strong elite cavalry ambush in the jungle near the Seven Crosses, and I'm afraid the Empire will wait for us to finish the fight before attacking.
Teacher Luo, you stay in Changhe Town, and during my absence, Changhe Town will be handed over to you!"
"No!" replied.
The next day, Mo Shen personally took command and waved his army to conquer the Lion City, and at the same time, Dexia also sent troops, and their goal was very clear, that is, Sava River Fort!
"Lord Marshal, the spies have sent news that Mo Shen has sent troops to Lion City, but they have chosen to take a detour, and at the same time, early this morning, Duke Elfwan sent two thousand troops to rush to us!" the soldier reported.
"What do you think?" asked Field Marshal Justus.
"My lord, is Mo Shen going to take back the Seven Crosses Fortress after taking the Lion City in one go?" said one of the commanders.
"Hehe, you're thinking too much, if I'm not mistaken, he's worried that we're going to take the opportunity to send troops to rob the Lion City, how strong are our troops now?" asked Justus.
"Marshal, we now have five thousand men assembled in the Seven Crosses, including 1,000 recruits, 3,000 veterans, and 1,000 elites! 2,000 archers, 2,000 infantry, and 1,000 cavalry!" reported one of the commanders.
"Very good, order the whole army to be ready at any time, hmph, he thinks that one Elfwan can stop our Imperial Army?This is an opportunity for us, if we can't take the opportunity to take the Lion City, sooner or later we will be consumed by the Lion Realm!" Justes said.
It took Mo Shen's army a day and a night to travel, the reason why it was so fast was because those heavy ordnance were put in the system backpack by Mo Shen, the speed of the legion was very fast, two thousand people marched towards the Lion City, after nightfall, Mo Shen chose to camp in the Deer Heart Fort near the Lion City.
The commander of Fort Deer Heart is Charles, the son of Duke Brenus, and Charles has already received news from his father, and he is very active in helping Mo Shenjun to set up camp.
In the palace in the Lion City, a soldier ran in and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the spies from the front have come to report that Mo Shen has gathered 2,000 people and has arrived at Luxin Fort, and will attack tomorrow at the latest!"
Alfred II frowned and said: "Pass the order, all the soldiers cheer up, in case the other party sneaks up tonight, the city tower patrol soldiers send an additional 100 people, and pass on my order to destroy the bridge outside the moat, and give the order, who can kill Mo Shen in this battle, reward the duke!"
"No!" the soldier roared.
Although it is said that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, but in the military camp of the Lion City today, the soldiers are all in danger, and the deeds of Mo Shen these battles have been spread all over the Lion Realm, and most of the soldiers in the Lion City are recruits, and they have not seen any big scenes at all, this fear spreads among the soldiers, and some soldiers want to sneak out of the barracks in the middle of the night.
"General Sadriko, this is the eighth man for the day!" said the patrol veteran.
"Hey, what can I do, forget it, tell my brothers, turn a blind eye, even if you force them to go to the battlefield, you will die!" said General Sadrico.
"Yes, sir!" said the patrol veteran.
Every household in the Lion City had closed their doors and windows early, and some wealthy merchants and nobles who had received the news in advance had already left the Lion City and hid in the countryside.
Early the next morning, Mo Shen led his troops to the woods outside the Lion City.
"Your Highness Mo Shen, the bridges outside the Lion City have all been destroyed!" the soldier reported.
"Hehe, did he think it would be okay like this? The order went down, the infantry raised their shields to advance, the archers advanced ten meters, and opened the military formation, suppressing the firepower of the Lion City with all their might, the ballistas, and catapults were ready, and once the enemy poured into the city, he would fight Lao Tzu!"
After Mo Shen's military order was issued, the war drums thundered, and rows of arrows shot towards the Lion City, in the face of the rain of arrows, the soldiers on the city wall could only use their shields to protect their bodies, and the most embarrassing thing was the archers in the Lion City, because the distance of the Mo Shen army, they couldn't hit at all, but the archers of the Mo Shen army were very accurate in harvesting their lives.
After Mo Shenjun fired a volley, rows of iron crossbows roared out of the crossbow carts, piercing the soldiers raising their shields one by one, and there were countless dead bodies on the city wall.
Sadriko shouted: "Quick! Three soldiers with a heavy huge shield, give me a top, the archers whether they can hit it or not, shoot me arrows, and suppress the enemy!"
Looking at the giant shield on the Lion City, Mo Shen sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Catapult, let it go!"
Boom one by one boulders, smashed on the walls of the Lion City, the soldiers who raised the shield were stoned to death, many soldiers fell down the city tower in order to dodge, after these three axes, the Lion City has lost more than 600 people at this time, and there were more than 100 deserters in the Lion City last night.
In other words, the original army of 3,000 is now less than 2,200 people left, and what is even more fatal is that Sadrico has no way to take the army at this time.
As the war continued, a new round of crossbows had arrived, killing more than a hundred soldiers again, and Sadrico shouted: "Everyone retreat to the second floor of the wall, and wait for the enemy to attack and engage in hand-to-hand combat!"
Mo Shen looked at the soldiers who gradually disappeared at the head of the city, and smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, this is planning to let the soldiers on his side kill and then engage in hand-to-hand combat, interesting, I don't know who is commanding the battle this time!
"The whole army listened to the order, the siege vehicle advanced thirty meters, do not put down the siege board, the archers boarded the siege vehicle and continued to shoot, and the infantry began to set up siege ladders!
