The garrison in Diguan Town, under the command of the leading baron and several knights, hurriedly moved the fire oil, rocks and rolling wood and other equipment and materials that the Count of Kodor had ordered them to prepare before the expedition to the city wall. The arrows that had been prepared for a long time were also distributed.

Although they had not been in battle for many years, the Kodor soldiers were still relatively proficient in completing the defensive deployment of Diguan.

In the arrow tower high above the city wall, the Kodor soldiers were already in place, bows and arrows. The soldiers in charge of the battlements had already placed their stacks of stones, ready to greet the besieging enemy, and behind them stood the soldiers with shields.

The garrison on the other side of the river on the west side of the wall also increased their vigilance after receiving the order. On the east side of the city wall, when the outpost of the Wells Legion had just arrived on the outskirts of the town of Diguan, the timid soldiers on duty ran towards the city, leaving an empty fort behind......

"Lord Baron, there are only more than a hundred of us in total, how can we resist those enemy troops under the city?" One of the knights beside Yuri looked at the Wells Legion and the Longxia Legion under the city walls, and couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

"Resist?" Yuri asked rhetorically, "I still don't know how many pounds and taels we have." The enemy is two thousand people, and what can we resist it? ”

"Yes, even the Earl~"

"Huh?" Yuri turned his head and glared at the knight, so frightened that the knight quickly held back his words.

Seeing that half a day had passed, the army under the city had delayed attacking the city, and the defenders of Diguan Town were also a little tired in addition to palpitations. Some soldiers hid in corners in the absence of their commanders, drinking and gambling on beans. Seeing that the enemy had not moved, the soldier in charge of the guard also sat down on the ground and rubbed his legs, which had already stood numb~

"Report!" A sentry hurried towards the hall of the lord of Diguan Town. Baron Yuri, who was discussing with the officers about defending against the enemy, hurriedly got up.

"Has the enemy begun to attack the city?" Yuri asked the herald.

"Report to the Baron, they did not attack the city, but went to the south of the city gate, leaving only more than a hundred cavalry to suppress the formation."

"You mean they're gone?"

"Yes, Lord Baron."

When the officers heard that the enemy was heading east, they breathed a sigh of relief. If you really start with these people, I'm afraid everyone here will be in a different place.

"Let's go, let's see." Yuri led the officers towards the southern wall.

"My lord, I have placed seven or eight secret outposts around the town of Diguan according to your orders, in case the defenders of Diguan attack us from behind when we go to Kodor City." Otto rode from behind to tell Arte.

"In addition, a hundred cavalry will press at the end of the army, and we will follow after we have detoured to the north of Diguan Town, so as to prevent the enemy from attacking."

"Okay, pass the order, and the army will speed through."

"Yes, sir."

Early this morning, the brigades of the Wells Legion and the Midsummer Legion left their temporary camp five miles south of the town of Diguan and marched towards the town of Diguan. By the time the army arrived at Diguan Town, the city wall on the southeast side of Diguan Town had been wrapped in golden sunlight.

According to the analysis made by the commander of the camp of the Central Army of the Wells Legion yesterday, the Wells Legion and the Midsummer Legion are close to 2,000 men, and it is not a problem to attack a town of Diguan with only a hundred defenders. But in this case, there will definitely be some casualties, and it will take more time than detouring to the east of Diguan Town.

The soldiers were so fast, and it was less than five days before Flender set the time, so there was really no need to disrupt the pace of the march for the sake of a small town of Diguan. After some deliberation, Art finally decided to take a detour from the east side of Diguan Town, and then follow the trade route all the way north to the city of Kodor. As long as the Wells Army takes the city of Kodor, the town of Diguan in the south will become an isolated city, and it will naturally abandon the city and surrender at that time.

After the cavalry of the Welsh Regiment had left, Baron Yuri, the lead baron, ordered a symbolic shot of a few arrows and a few stones at the garrison. lest the Count of Kodor be held accountable in the future, and he will be accused of fearing the enemy and not resisting.

To the north, the city of Kodor, which is a day's walk from Diguan Town, has been busy one after another at this time......

After the Earl of Kodor fled back to Kodor from Diguan Town a few days ago, he could not take a break, so he summoned a group of civil and military officials to his Earl's Palace to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy.

After seeing the strength of the Wells Legion and the Midsummer Legion, Count Kodor began to become cautious. He knew that in a few days, the Wells Army would definitely attack the city of Kodor all the way north. Although there is still a town of Diguan to the south that can barely withstand it for a while, it will be captured by the Wells army sooner or later. Therefore, the Count of Kodor ordered the troops around Kodor City to be mobilized to Kodor City to strengthen the defense of Kodor City. At the same time, the city defense was strengthened and equipment was prepared to defend against the enemy. Even so, the garrison of the garrison was only 500 men, and it was simply unable to compete with the nearly 2,000 men and horses of the Wells Legion and the Longxia Legion.

While the Earl of Kodor was worried about the upcoming war, two secret letters from the herald made the Count of Kodor restless.

A secret letter came from a friend of the Count of Codor at the court of the Kingdom of France. The letter informed the Count of Codor that the Knights Templar had secretly provided Flender with a loan of several million Fennigh to support Flender's recruitment and purchase of strategic supplies. Under the influence of the Pope, the King of France sent troops to attack Besançon, and as long as the Duchy sent troops to attack Besançon, then the French iron cavalry would immediately cross the border line and annex the territory of the Duchy. In addition, the Archbishop of France declared his support for the Flemish side, because Bernard had colluded with the infidels and the Church intended to send the infidels who had betrayed the emperor to the fire.

And the other letter made Count Kodor convulsive for a while after reading it. The letter came from the Count of Codor's business partner in the Duchy. Because he often deals with the princely court nobles, as long as he is willing to spend money, he can get some valuable information from those people. According to the business partner's inquiry, the Duchy, under pressure from the Kingdom of France and the Church in the west, no longer supported the side of the Thorne court, but instead sent an envoy to the court of Besançon to make overtures with Flanders, renewing the "friendship" and continuing the previous covenant. In this way, the Thorne court has become the target of public criticism, isolated, and it is obviously unrealistic to want to make a difference......

After reading these two secret letters, Count Kodor was in a dilemma. On the one hand, as an ally of Bernard, he has sworn allegiance to the Thorne court and declared war on Flender, and he has been tied to the Thorne court at this time, and it will not be so easy to get out. To continue to support the court of the Thorne would be to declare war on France and the Church and the Duchy. In the end, I will definitely not end well.

On the other hand, the Welsh Legion to the south was heading towards the city of Kodor. And his defenders are only 500 people, and they can't confront the enemy for a long time, and in the end the city will definitely be destroyed. At this time, the Thorne court had been pressed step by step by the Liberation Army on the northern front, and it was impossible to get out at all.

Just as the Earl of Kodor was in deep thought, the herald who hurriedly came with the shocking news that 2,000 men of the Welsh Legion and the Midsummer Legion had made a detour to the town of Diguan in the direction of Kodor......
