Chapter 791: Besieging the city for reinforcements

At nine o'clock in the morning of February 10, 1175, thirty kilometers west of Lemuge Village, Yan Tielong was resting with his fiancée and a thousand cavalry, after all, the mount was a little tired from seven o'clock in the morning, so let the mount rest and wait for the next battle.

Arya led the war horse to her fiancé and asked, "Dragon, are you really so relieved that you will hand over the Lei Mu Village and the loot to Baron Merrojne to manage?"

In response to his fiancée's inquiry, Yan Tielong said that he didn't fully trust Merrojne, so the loot he left for Baron Merroen looked like a lot, but the value was not high, and even one of the jewel nobles he left behind was more than half of what he left.

Yan Tielong thought of something after speaking, so he took out a gold tiara inlaid with five sapphires of different sizes from the space ring and gave it to his fiancée, and said that it was a gift.

When Lion Arya saw the five sapphire tiaras, she liked them a little, but the sapphire tiara was so beautiful that it was definitely not ordinary, and it was a bit like a royal style, so she refused to accept it.

Seeing his fiancée's refusal, Yan Tielong said that the tiara in his hand was an old style that was not suitable for his fiancée at all, so he told his fiancée that he would create a more luxurious and beautiful tiara than the tiara in his hand and give it to her.

Arya was very happy about her fiancé's promise, but when she thought of the purpose of this time, she asked her fiancé who was the target this time?

Hearing his fiancée's inquiry, Yan Tielong took out a map from the space ring and pointed to a small city ten kilometers west of them

Arya frowned when she saw the place her fiancé was pointing to and said, "Dragon, I remember that the name of the city is Taoyan City, and the lord of this city is the Count of Taobaigus, right?"

Seeing her fiancé nodding, Arya frowned and said, "Dragon, I can understand very well that you chose the weakest attack before, but Count Tauberg has five thousand weapons, and the vigilance and city wall defense are not comparable to Remug Village, do you really think we can take this city?"

Hearing his fiancée's very serious inquiry, Yan Tielong said that he did not want to capture Taoyan City, but to use the siege method to arm the current king of the Kingdom of Xiluo Aide with the force, after all, the cavalry is suitable for plain warfare, and it is too wasteful to use siege and the number of people is not enough.

Lion Arya was relieved to hear her fiancé's plan, but she also pointed out that if the enemy reinforcements were very strong, what should be done?

When Yan Tielong heard his fiancée, for example, he couldn't help pinching his face, and his fiancée's face reminded them that they were cavalry, and once they found that the enemy was very strong, they couldn't fight, of course, they chose to flee.

Arya was a little dissatisfied with her fiancé's pinching of her face, but after listening to the other party's story, she also knew that she was asking a relatively low-level question, after all, she was also a highly talented student who graduated from an elite college.

When Tao Yan City Lookout saw a cavalry appear, he hurriedly sounded the alarm, and when the Tao Yan City guards heard the alarm, they did not hesitate to close the gate, even if the merchants outside the door sent money, it was useless.

Yan Tielong took his fiancée and a thousand knights to see Tao Yancheng so vigilant, and directly closed the city gate to defend, he was a little impressed by Count Tao Baiges, after all, in the information he obtained, Count Tao Baigus was a very arrogant person, and he thought that the other party would send troops to fight him.

In fact, the reason why Count Taubergues did not send troops to defend was because he was influenced by the youngest son of Viscount Kuba Zilei who ran to them.

It turned out that yesterday Viscount Kuba Zilei knew that he could not escape, and he also thought that his eldest son could not escape, so he asked the eldest son to escape through the back door to attract the enemy to give the younger son time to escape through the secret passage.

And the youngest son of Viscount Kuba Zilei added fuel and vinegar to exaggerate the strength of the team led by Yan Tielong, which also caused the very arrogant Count of Tauberges to be coaxed.

Count Qiang Ran Taubergus was stunned for a while, but he didn't think that the cavalry outside was strong enough to break through his city, so he released the letter bird to ask for reinforcements, and when the reinforcements came, he would kill the knights in front of him.

Yan Tielong didn't pay attention to Count Taobaigus's use of the letter bird for help, and even happily agreed, after all, his original goal was to besiege the city and send reinforcements, but he still asked Xiaoyin to expand the scope of investigation.

Yan Tielong's main force was placed at the east gate, and the other sects sent a hundred cavalry to surround it to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, after all, Yan Tielong only had 1,000 cavalry, and the other party had 5,000 armed forces, so he had to prevent the enemy from sneaking around the city.

After Yan Tielong had set it up, he himself used a megaphone to read aloud from outside the range of the archers, any collusion between Count Tauberge and his uncle to form a bandit group to plunder the wealth of the villagers and trade slaves.

When the soldiers of Taoyan City heard that Yan Tielong had exposed the crimes of Count Taobaiges, the morale of the soldiers directly dropped, and Count Taobaigus directly scolded him, saying that he had amazing wealth and had no reason to destroy his reputation and form a bandit group.

Yan Tielong's ears are very good, when he heard Count Tao Bai's remarks, he directly refuted that the Tao Bai family is a century-old aristocratic family, but the Tao Bai nobles used to borrow money to live, until the first robber appeared, Count Tao Baigues suddenly turned out money, Yan Tielong directly asked the other party how to make so much money!

When Count Tao Baigues heard Yan Tielong's question, he didn't think of how to answer, but he just told Yan Tielong that he was slanderous, and even said angrily that he would lead the legion out of the city to destroy the other party.

If it weren't for the family knight who stopped him and said that it was all an enemy conspiracy, maybe Yan Tielong would have taken Taoyan City very lightly.

Seeing Tao Baigus City as a shrunken turtle, Yan Tielong, who was already tired, took out the catapult from the space ring, after all, in Yan Tielong's words, the siege of the city must have the appearance of a siege.

Soon the stone projectile of the catapult was ready, and then Yan Tielong began to measure the distance between the catapult and Taoyan City, and then began to attack Taoyan City with the catapult.

For the use of catapults to attack under the city, the soldiers of Taoyan City had to be careful to dodge, after all, they were hit by more than a dozen catties of stones and played directly, which also made the morale of the Taoyan City guards drop.

Yan Tielong: After they smashed for nearly three hours, they stopped smashing.

The reason was not that the catapult was damaged, but that through Xiao Yinyan Tielong, he found that an armed team twenty kilometers away from them was rushing in the direction of Taoyan City, and Yan Tielong wanted to pack up the reinforcements, so he directly took away some important parts of the catapult to prevent the catapult from being used by the enemy after they left.

When Count Tauberce learned that the cavalry had just been attacked with catapults and all of them had left in a puff of smoke, he was puzzled to send someone to reconnoiter where the enemy cavalry had run, and at the same time send a small team to carry back the enemy's abandoned catapults.

As Count Taubourth began to enjoy his lunch, a scout hurried up to Taubourth.

Seeing the soldiers entering, Count Taupergus was about to scold, but the soldiers hurriedly reported that they had just discovered that an armed army of reinforcements had been destroyed.

Hearing that the reinforcements were destroyed, Count Taubaigus didn't react for a while, and when he reacted, he nervously asked who was destroyed?

The scout hears the lord's inquiry, and he asks his men to carry what the enemy doesn't want, and soon two men dressed as scouts come to the lord with a few flags and some weapons.

When Count Tabegus saw the standard patterns on the flags and some weapons, he immediately recognized them as allies with him, the Lia family, the Baiwen family, and the Fengde family, so he asked what the scout was all about.

Hearing the lord's inquiry, the leading scout told the lord that they were following the enemy cavalry according to the lord's orders, and that they were a little far away from the enemy cavalry for fear of being exposed, so they only saw the enemy cavalry charging an armed rank.

The scouts reported that the enemy cavalry had wiped out an armed group in a short time, and when the enemy cavalry had left, they found corpses and abandoned equipment, so they brought back some equipment and flags.

When Count Taubergus heard the scout's report, he immediately thought that he had sent a distress letter not long ago, and the three noble alliance families sent troops to support, but as a result, the three combined legions were quickly wiped out by the enemy cavalry, which scared him into a cold sweat, after all, he knew very well that the armed forces of the three alliance families were poor, but they were destroyed in such a short time, so the enemy was definitely the elite of the elite.

In fact, the cavalry commanded by Yan Tielong is not elite, according to Yan Tielong's evaluation, these cavalry are just horsemen who can do kung fu immediately.

When Yan Tielong found that the enemy's 3,000 infantry reinforcements were reinforced, in order not to make the previous mistake, Yan Tielong released the Earth Shield, Stone Skin, and Earth Armor to the cavalry team、...... A lot of subsidized magic, and as a result, the Iron Knight became a Knight with heavy armor.

When Yan Tielong led a thousand knights who had been strengthened to heavy armor to charge against three thousand ordinary armed soldiers, the enemy's iron spears, bows, javelins and swords could not break through the defense, and as a result, Yan Tielong and their one wave of charges collapsed the enemy's three thousand legions, and the second wave directly captured three nobles and some knights and ordinary soldiers.

Of course, there were many enemies who fled, after all, the collapsed enemies scattered and fled, and Yan Tielong had no time to waste chasing them.

However, Yan Tielong also paid a lot of potions to replenish magic and spiritual power, after all, subsidizing magic for thousands of people also consumes magic and spiritual power very much.

Solving the first enemy reinforcement, Yan Tielong sent a hundred cavalry to escort more than a hundred prisoners to Lemuge Village, while he himself led his fiancée and the remaining cavalry to aim at the next target.
