Most of the young men have gone out to help His Majesty Lothair, and most of the people who remain in Eumsburg are the old, weak, sick and disabled, and food has become a big problem. Earlier, Jurico had opposed Lothair's decision, after the great plague, the empire was very weak, and the kingdom of Saxony also had a lot of troubles, first of all, food was a big problem, and to start a war, it was bound to mobilize all the resources of the principality. Although His Majesty felt that the highland war could be quickly resolved, Jurico was cautious by nature and always prepared for the worst, for fear that the imperial soldiers would fall into the quagmire of the highlands and not be able to escape. As a result, the Orientals did not know what method they used to drag countless imperial soldiers to death, but the empire had a steady stream of resources sent to the Istrian highlands, and now it is the middle of winter, once the food is cut off, the consequences are unimaginable, do you let the people run to the corner of the wall to dig up rats in the dirt to eat?

Tens of thousands of troops, the army is at its peak, Zhao Yougong is not polite, although he did not order the siege of the city, but let tens of thousands of soldiers and horses scatter, and besieged the city of Yumsburg, let alone a person, even a vicious dog don't want to break out of the siege. A whole day passed, and Yurico looked at the army outside the city, his face sad, and he longed to grow wings and fly away. Now, Yuliko has lost that bit of luck, and it is impossible to say that the Orientals will not fight Yumsburg. Since the Easterners have called, there is no reason to retreat, and after Eumsburg is the Elbe, and once they reach the Elbe, the castle of Suplin will tremble. Faced with the current situation, Yurico was worried, and even Turick next to him couldn't lift his spirits, "Lord Duke, how is this good?" What kind of medicine are the Orientals selling in this gourd, surrounding Yumsburg but not attacking, do they want to consume us alive and force us to take the initiative to open the city and surrender? ”

As if he was inadvertently complaining and asking, Yurico frowned, is Turick asking like this, is he tempting? Sure enough, Jurico saw a trace of solemnity flash between Turick's eyebrows, and this solemnity was aimed at him, Yulik. Teach these people, it's really pervasive, and they want to plug in everything. Yurico was slightly angry in his heart, but when he thought of the thousands of remnants under Turik's command, he had to deal with it carefully. Although the Yuliko family has 5,000 soldiers, they are also half a catty to eight taels with Turick's church soldiers, and if they really want to fight, I am afraid they will not get much benefit. The reason why Turik was tempted was probably because he was afraid that the Yurico family would surrender in the city, after all, Turrick was a hardcore church member, and he would not turn his back on the pope even if he died. Jurico thought for a moment, made a very helpless expression, and said with a wry smile, "It doesn't have to trap us, the target of the Easterners is the Elbe River, which is the core of the principality, Supulin Castle, only by taking Supulin Castle can they deter the imperial nobles, how can they spend too long in Yumsburg?" ”

"Then what is the reason for the Orientals to do this?" Turrick's forehead is noisy, and his beard, which has not been trimmed for a long time, looks dirty, but at this time, no one cares about Rick's image. Yurico thought for a moment and shook his head gently, "Who can explain this?" Only the Orientals themselves know why, but they can guess some. After a crushing defeat at the top of the Nushui Mountains, the Orientals reached Yumsburg, and beyond that was the Elbe. I'm afraid that the Easterners want to see how many troops the imperial nobles can come up with, and the imperial nobles will definitely make the last resistance, and the Kingdom of Saxony is the territory of the empire after all. ”

Yurico's guess, although not all right, is not far off. Zhao Yougong did have the intention of this aspect, and when evening came, the cold wind was blowing outside Yumsburg, and there was a whirring sound outside the tent. Zhao Yougong was also uncomfortable, but he still ordered to postpone the siege and wait for two days. Sanniang, Dongfang Jin and Shi Wengong stayed in Festaq City, and only Xiao Zhiyun was left by her side. Xiao Zhiyun was obviously a little unaccustomed to the Latin American winter, and contracted the wind cold, but fortunately it was not too serious, lying in the crook of the man's arm, the red face was very clear, and the wrinkled and sour nose was wrinkled, she asked softly, "What do you think, the Elbe River is ahead, and it should be a quick decision at this time, why did you stop at Yumsburg, this is not your style, are you worried that Yumsburg will not be able to attack for a long time, if this is the case, it is really unnecessary." ”

"You, you're still a little anxious, can this king attack Festaq City without hesitation, will he stop at Yumsburg? In fact, the postponement of the attack is also a temporary intention" Zhao Yougong pampered you with Xiao Zhiyun in his arms, and the brazier next to him was burning, driving away the coolness on his body, "The battle on the top of the Nushui Mountain has reminded this king, since the church can send an army of more than 20,000 people, even if it is other Germanic nobles?" Although a large number of Germanic soldiers were still in the Istrian heights, the Danube nobility and the eastern nobility were still strong, and it would not be a good thing for them to send a large army to ambush near the Elbe. It is better to postpone the siege of the city, so as to allow time to find out the situation on the Elbe, if these Germanic nobles want to be strong for the Saxons, we can take the opportunity to destroy these blind ones first, and then turn back to Yumsburg. For us, Yumsburg is only a matter of time, and those Germanic nobles are the real trouble. ”

For Yumsburg, Zhao Yougong is not worried, with the strong strength of the Dingguo army, if he attacks with all his strength, I am afraid that he will be able to defeat it in one day. The key is whether or not the Elbe can be successfully captured, and those people in Dolle are also notoriously ruthless characters, and if they are not strictly guarded against, it is not impossible for the boat to capsize in the gutter. In fact, when you arrive in Yumsburg, you are already very close to the Elbe River, and even if you don't attack Yumsburg, you can stimulate the sensitive hearts of the Germanic nobles. Zhao Yougong is a person who pays attention to practical interests, and since he wants to eat, he must eat enough benefits. Xiao Zhiyun smiled and patted Zhao Yougong, feeling that this guy was too cunning, and he always kept coming up with some calculating thoughts, I hope that the Germans had better not move their minds, otherwise they will not be able to eat and leave again this time.

Whether Zhao Yougong is cunning or smart, his calculations are always on point. The siege of Yumsburg by the Eastern armies was no secret, and now the Germanic nobles were all watching the situation in Latin America, especially the likes of Dolle and Schwein. Dolle was so depressed that things had come to such an extent that he knew that the envoy sent to the Caucasus had been tricked. Wofrey was a reckless man, he didn't have so many twists and turns, and he could play the messengers around, and eighty percent of them were instructed by the Orientals. As soon as the Orientals attacked Festak, Dolle summoned the messenger back with interest. At this time, it was almost evening, a military newspaper was placed in front of him, Dolle opened it and looked at it, and his brows furrowed tightly, the pace of the Oriental people is really fast enough. Dolle did not want Saxony to fall into the hands of the Orientals, the vast land of the Kingdom of Saxony, rich resources, who did not want a piece of the pie, especially the Elbe River Valley, Dolle dreamed of sharing some interests. The Orientals advanced to the vicinity of Yumsburg with an army of 60,000, and such a force still had a chance to take advantage of it. After thinking about it, Dolle sent people to Schwein, and because the situation in Saxony was uncertain and the church sent a large army to it, Schwein also withdrew to Hohenzollern. Soon, Schwein, who was talking to Gregory, came to the private domain of Dolle. The Frederick family has survived for hundreds of years, and the heritage is naturally not comparable to a rookie family like Schwein. Dolle gave Schwein a lot of face, and personally stood at the door to greet him, and the two exchanged pleasantries and walked into the castle side by side. Mo looked at it as a smile, but it meant that the great nobles of the east, led by the Frederick family, had finally recognized the status of the Danube nobility.

The two sides took their seats, and Dolle did not ramble and explained the situation in Yumsburg in detail. Schwein was extremely smart, and when he heard something in Dorle's words, he lowered his head slightly, and smiled a little uncertainly, "Lord Dolle, do you want to make a final effort?" If you want to do it, the Elbe is the last chance, after the Elbe, only Suplin Castle can be defended, but in that way, we will not be able to get out, and we will inevitably fight the Orientals. ”

"Yes, I want to make a final attempt near the Elbe, is Lord Schwein willing to see the interests of Saxony fall into the hands of the Orientals? Although you and I don't look down on Lothair, but the Elbe valley can feed millions of people, how can we give up easily? Dolle pointed to the map on the table and pointed to a certain place, "The misty forest in the east of the Elbe River must not be forgotten by Lord Schwein, this jungle is vast, and there is often dense fog in winter, if we use it well, we can use a small number of troops to drag down the army of the Easterners, but I don't know how many people Lord Schwein can send." ”

Dolle obviously didn't want to give Schwein a chance to refuse, Schwein smiled faintly, and did not have the slightest anger, but asked with the corners of his mouth curled, "It's not impossible to block the Orientals in the Misty Forest, but, for the interests of the Elbe, we want half." ”

After listening to Schwein's unceremonious words, Dolle frowned a little unhappily, half of the benefits of the Elbe River are equivalent to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth. Once the Danube nobles take half of the benefits, it is equivalent to occupying an important piece of land in the north of the eastern aristocratic principality, which is not a matter of land, the eastern nobility will face a flanking attack, and the Danube nobles can also jump directly from the south to the north, and even extend their tentacles to the Hohenzollern area. Schwein was really ambitious, and Dorle thought about it for a long time, but decided to agree, no matter how difficult the Danube nobles were, they could not compare to the Orientals. Dolle is known as the century-old hero of the Frederick family, and naturally he is not in vain, he can afford to put it down, at least on the surface, there is no dissatisfaction, which even Schwein deeply admires. Stretching out his right hand, Dolle smiled, "Okay, everything is according to what Lord Schwein said, but in this battle of the Misty Forest, the Danube nobles will have to take out at least 10,000 soldiers and horses." ”

"Very good, Lord Dolle is quick to talk, and the deal is done" Schwein slapped his hands with Dolle very happily, which can be regarded as a verbal agreement. Schwein's arrogance is for a reason, he actually doesn't want to watch the interests of the Elbe River surrendered to the Orientals, he has already prepared soldiers and horses, otherwise he would not have negotiated with Pope Gregor. It's a pity that Gregory couldn't spare enough people to rush to the aid of the Elbe, but he didn't expect that the east was not bright and the west was bright, and Gregory couldn't help, but the Frederick family took the initiative to send it to the door. Schwein was so cheerful that it made Dolle feel a little empty, and he didn't know whether today's decision was good or bad.

The territory of the Kingdom of Saxony seems to be calm, but underneath the calm there is an undercurrent. Yumsburg was still silent, but the city of Kyiv, hundreds of miles away, was already full of swords and guns, and after a long struggle, Lothair finally ordered the occupation of the sacred place and began to approach the Suzdal River. No matter how reluctant Lothair was, approaching the Suzdal River and attacking Vladimir was already the last hope of the Germanic warriors. Whether the city of Vladimir will be able to be taken is still unknown, but the Suzdal River has to be hit. Nearly 70,000 Germanic troops left the city of Kiev and launched a full-scale attack on the defense line of the Suzdal River, and the garrison stationed along the river immediately felt a huge pressure. In order to deal with the threat of the Germanic army and the Danes, Hai Dongzhu also came to Vladimir City, since the Battle of the Suzdal River began, the military reports of all parties were sent to the city like snowflakes, this is the first time that Hai Dongzhu commanded such a huge battle, and it is inevitable that he is a little nervous, "How is the western defense line?" If there is a problem, immediately send Gu Suha's soldiers and horses to the top. ”

"The sea nobles rest assured, the western defense line is as stable as Mount Tai, but the Germanic attack is very fierce, these Germans are very fierce, and they dare to swim from the river on such a cold day" Saito said this, unable to hide the fear on his face. Hai Dongzhu is also worried, I am afraid that the Germans are also aware of their situation, so the battle of the Suzdal River is extremely desperate, anyway, their own troops on the front line of the Suzdal River are far inferior to the Germans, if they blindly fight hard, it may not be a good thing, "Is there any movement in the Rogda hills?" Ordered Cao Yuan's subordinates, no matter how the war develops in Vladimir, his soldiers and horses must be nailed to the Rogda hills, and if he dares to take a step back, I will cut off his head. In addition, the Turov garrison is all going south, and it is necessary to reach Vladimir in three days' time, and I will see if the Germans have any three-headed and six-armed forces who can swallow Vladimir from us. ”

Although Hai Dongzhu is a woman, the momentum between her words is very fierce, and before the Suzdal River is over, she has already decided to fight the Germans in Vladimir City. Saito sighed a little embarrassed, although this sea nobleman is a little inexperienced, but this courage is really not inferior to a man. The battle on the Suzdal River was very tragic, and neither Bysr nor Sugus spared at this time, and tried their best to repeatedly attack the Suzdal River defense line. Because the boats were taken away by the Dingguo army in advance, the Germans could only swim through the river, and in the winter, the river was wide, and many Germanic soldiers became numb in their hands and feet halfway through the swim and drowned directly in the river. In the face of the roaring rain of arrows, the road forward was full of blood, the Germans paid a heavy price, and still failed to hit the other side, Baisel's heart was dripping with blood, and he walked around in a hurry, "Suggs, you can't fight like this, if you keep fighting like this, even if you take the Suzdal River, how many people will be left in the end?" Don't forget, there's another city of Vladimir behind the Suzdal River, damn it, the Orientals are made of iron, and they don't take a step back until now. ”

In such a white-hot battle, the Germans suffered heavy losses, and the Dingguo army guarding the river bank was not much better, and the Germanic soldiers rushed up without their lives, especially the soldiers and horses guarding the bridgehead, who had lost more than 2,000 soldiers and horses in the face of the repeated attacks of the Germans. Corpses lay across the stone bridge, the cold wind swept by, leaving stiff blood clots, war is always cruel, and the merciful will only fall sooner. Sugus also saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, "Stone Bridge, yes, it is Stone Bridge, as long as we can take Stone Bridge, our soldiers and horses will continue to arrive at the other side." I don't believe how much oil is still in the army, all of which is thrown into the stone bridge, and people are holding the oil canisters and rushing over, and these Orientals don't know how to be afraid. ”
