Chapter 549: Secretly Preparing

The Duke of Bunkerson's army is approaching the city, and the White Rose Kingdom also knows about it, and Queen Daline's father, King Lerna, is ready to lead an army to support.

However, after all, the Kingdom of the White Rose was also a traditional feudal country, and it was too much time to mobilize vassals to support, so King Lerna only sent his own 3,000 direct troops, as well as mobilized nearby vassals, adding up to 4,500 soldiers and 500 knights to support the city of Briyek.

However, although the White Rose Kingdom and the Tskema Kingdom are neighbors, the distance between the two sides is not too far, and the capital of the Tskema Kingdom and the capital of the White Rose Kingdom are almost two extremes.

The distance between the two capitals reached more than 800 kilometers, which is more than a month's journey, which means that Queen Dai Lin had to use 500 guards and 80 royal knights to resist more than 3,000 enemies for a month.

It has to be said that this is a difficult task, and although the city of Brijek is tall and majestic, its circumference has become a huge problem.

With such a long city wall, it would take at least more than 1,000 defenders to be able to fully defend it, and these more than 500 people guarding such a long city wall are obviously overstretched.

And once the enemy relies on the superiority of troops to launch an attack on the city wall from all directions, these soldiers will definitely not be able to resist.

If not, it wouldn't be too difficult to rely on the tall walls to fend off the enemy.

What made Queen Daline even more anxious was the rumors that Duke Bunkerson had spread into the castle.

What Queen Daleen fornicated, the original little king was not the heir of King Brolin at all, or there were spies of Duke Bunkerson in the garrison, ready to secretly open the city gates at any time, or Duke Bunkerson promised that after conquering the castle, he would not commit any offence against the inhabitants.

This rumor made the few remaining residents in the castle even less confident, and even wanted to mobilize them to help defend the city, which would be because of the Duke of Bunkerson's assurance, as long as he did not assist in defending the city, he could not mobilize after conquering the castle.

And long before Duke Bunkerson's soldiers came to the city, some people in the castle who got the news earlier, and still had some property and spared their lives had already moved out.

At least tens of thousands of people were in the city of Brijek, and now there are no more than 5,000 inhabitants left in the castle, including the merchants who have withdrawn and the residents who have fled.

The huge, usually crowded city of Brijek looks a little deserted at this time.

And William, who was in Denlenburg, also received the news that Duke Bunkerson was approaching the city early, in fact, since Duke Bunkerson entered the border of the Kingdom of Tzkma, William's surveillance of them has not stopped.

Compared to the assassins trained by Ariel for assassination, the ninjas who have taken shape after half a year of training in the mountain village are more suitable for this kind of intelligence-gathering plus stealing and surveillance.

It can be said that the ninja trained by the mountain village is a combination of the assassin of Ariel and the dark dagger of Tuth.

Along the way, Duke Bunkerson could not hide any action from William's eyes, and Queen Daileen also sent a messenger to ask Duke Bunkerson for help before he arrived in Brijek City.

However, William was happy to see Bunkerson conquer the castle, and he had previously planned to claim the throne with Earl Creed.

But now, looking at this form is completely unnecessary, he plans to learn from my Daqing in his previous life, and after Li Chuang is wreaking, he will enter Shanhaiguan under the guise of revenge for the Ming Dynasty, and this will be the three hundred years of the Manchu Dynasty.

It has to be said that after the enemy has ravaged the enemy, the best way to obtain local rule is to expel those who are hated by the locals.

If the Manchus were not alien, perhaps the Qing Dynasty was second only to the Ming Dynasty, who expelled the Tartars.

At this time, the situation was somewhat similar to the late Ming Dynasty in another world, the Duke of Bunkerson was rampant in the occupied area, and the unoccupied enemies were also terrified of the arrival of the Duke of Bunkerson.

His army was under Brijek, and its inhabitants were bound to flee elsewhere, and the viciousness of Duke Bunkerson would surely spread throughout the kingdom by then.

And when he offended most of the people, almost mutilated the nobles and everything, and the commoners hated him to the core, as long as William sent troops to expel or destroy him, then he could gain everyone's loyalty.

At that time, he could excuse himself by saying that he did not have any coveting of the throne, but he did not want to see the evil Duke Bunkerson wreak havoc in the Kingdom of Tskema, so he could only send troops to expel him and protect the legitimacy of the kingdom.

In this way, he can not only pluck himself out of conspiracy theories, but also easily gain the support and loyalty of everyone.

Compared to the previous plan to claim the throne with strength, this is simply a stroke of genius.

When the time comes, let Pope Uban II personally crown himself, and he will be the saint of the time, the expulsor of the Duke of Bunkerson, and the one who has restored the kingdom, and will not be justified as this king?

Thinking of this, William became fiery, but he also received news from the Dark Dagger that King Lerna of the White Rose Kingdom had sent a large number of troops to support, and it would be there in about a month.

To be on the safe side, William certainly couldn't have let them arrive within a month, and in his opinion, the walls of Brijek would take at least a month to be taken, and the Duke of Bunkerson was not necessarily in a hurry, so he had to help him delay for two months.

When the time comes, there will definitely be no problem in conquering the king.

Therefore, William sent the ninjas trained in the mountain village to complete this mission, which was nothing more than destroying bridges and creating obstacles.

After accepting William's employment, Yamamura immediately selected men to train.

Up to now, only forty of the original more than 300 people have been eliminated, but each of them is relatively proficient in the so-called ninjutsu.

There are some experiences in reconnaissance and sabotage, as well as assassination, although in the eyes of the mountain village, this is not comparable to the Jinyi Guard of the Yun Dynasty and the local Shangnin Zhongnin of Yingzhou, but it is enough to carry out these tasks.

In this way, thirty ninjas with different equipment rode a war horse known for their endurance in the direction of the march of the White Rose Kingdom.

And he also ordered the blacksmiths to speed up and build armor as soon as possible, so that the soldiers could wear two and a half layers of fried steel to make iron armor.

With the help of hydraulic stamping, pieces of nail leaves are created and strung together, except for chain mail, which is still woven using the traditional method.

At this rate, in another four or five months, all the soldiers will be able to be equipped with two and a half layers of iron armor again, which is still high-quality iron armor made of fried steel.

In addition, the training intensity of the soldiers has increased again, and in order to prepare for the upcoming battle, they must digest the experience of the war as soon as possible, and quickly transform themselves into brave veterans.
