Chapter 114: Buying Property

Thinking of this, Mullen suddenly stood up and shouted outside the door: "Someone! ”

"Your Highness." The guards outside the door came in and saluted.

"Get me the captains of each building!" Maren commanded.

"Yes!" The guard said and withdrew.

At this time, Anna walked in with a teacup, and when she heard Mullen's order, she put the teacup down and asked, "It's getting dark, is it for the sake of Gurlitt to call the captains of the buildings in such a hurry?" ”

Maren nodded, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, the temperature was just right, and said: "Gullitt is fighting hard, we can't passively wait for him to fight back." ”

"You were able to defeat him in one battle when he was in his prime, and now that he has become a lost dog, what is there to fear?" Anna asked, a little confused.

"You don't understand, it's a fluke that I was able to defeat Gullit and the Thirteen Towns coalition. At that time, they were all exhausted, and my Warcraft army attacked suddenly, plus they hadn't seen so many Warcraft attacking at the same time, which made the soldiers on both sides panic, and ten percent of the strength could not be exerted, so I had a chance. ”

Saying that, Maren sat down again, let Anna sit down next to him, and continued: "Now it is different, Gurlit's ability to recruit troops in Bill and Asia City shows that he has received the support of Bill and Iacheng, even though Gurlitt was like a lost dog when he fled, he still took a lot of money with him, and he has many loyal advisers around him, and his strength should not be underestimated. ”

"Look at our side again, my Warcraft army is many, but the level is too low, there is no advantage in surprise attacks, and in frontal combat, I can top an army on the top, this is one of them."

"Second, I have just ruled Youlan City, although I have done some things that conform to the will of the people, but the time is still short, and I can't achieve the people's heart, if I can win on the battlefield, if I can't win, there will be a danger of collapse at any time."

Listening to Maren's words, Anna was also a little flustered, and asked anxiously: "Then what should we do, we can't give up Youlan City." ”

"Of course not!" Mullen smiled and said, "Don't be too anxious, I just planned for the worst, in fact, we also have our own advantages." ”

"Really!" Anna asked nervously.

"Of course! As you just said, Gullit is now a lost dog, has lost his foundation, and only rules the old ministry with the remnants of the past, and we cannot afford to fail, let alone fail. Mullen analyzed her: "Although Bill and the city lord of Yacheng promised to help Gurlit, but after all, they are in the same bed and have different dreams, and they can't play their normal level at all, and all our current troops are in my hands, it can be said that we are united, and our chances of victory are great." ”

"Then what you just said is so serious, it just scares me." After listening to Mullen's analysis, Anna finally didn't worry so much, thinking of Mullen's intimidation of herself just now, she glanced at Mullen and said coquettishly.

Anna was carefully dressed up before coming in, the neckline of a big red silk skirt was opened very low, revealing a plump ****, her face was like a hibiscus, her eyebrows were like willows, her eyes were more charming than peach blossoms, her skin was like snow, her black hair was pulled into a high beauty bun, and her beads were dazzling in the sun.

Seeing Maren's expression, Anna was also happy in her heart, she finally didn't dress up in vain, and the maid who made up herself must be rewarded well.

Ellen gently walked to Anna's chair and stretched out her right hand, and Anna, who was slightly panicked, quickly stood up, at this time Mullen's hand had touched the hair around Anna's ear, and her fingers slid down Anna's cheek to her chin.

"Your Highness, the captains have arrived." When Maren wanted to make further moves, the guards outside the door interrupted the moment.

"Got it!" Tun, who had been interrupted from his good deed, replied angrily: "Let them wait in the conference hall, and I will be there immediately." ”

The guard didn't know why the Duke was angry, but he knew that he would be unlucky if he didn't flash, so he said yes through the door and left quickly.

was interrupted by the guards like this, Anna didn't have the courage just now, Anna, whose cheeks were slightly red, glanced at Maren again, said "hooligan" and ran out with her skirt.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw his father and the captains who were being led by the guards to the conference room in the corridor, and his cheeks turned red again when the spring tide had just receded, and he said hello to his father and the captains and went upstairs quickly.

"Anderson, Your Highness is about to call your father-in-law." Captain Zachareas, who had the best relationship with Anderson, teased.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Anna and Her Highness are a match made in heaven. Everyone also laughed and said, "Be sure to have a treat." ”

"It's all about the kids." Anderson said embarrassedly: "Let's go in quickly, don't let His Highness wait." ”

"Waiting? Your Highness hasn't come out yet. ”

"Ah!!h

When Mullen arrived in the conference room, the captains of each building had already sat down on their stools, and when they saw Mullen coming in, they all stood up and bent down and saluted, "See His Royal Highness the Grand Duke." ”

"Sit down." Mullen sat down on the chairman, waved his hand, and said, "I gathered everyone here today to ask how the training of your soldiers is. ”

"Your Highness, don't worry, I can't guarantee the other buildings, my building is definitely a soldier." Clement, the fifth captain of the Fifth Building, who had always liked to express himself and had a lot of nerves, said immediately.

"Your Highness, is something wrong?" Old Cheng asked Selwin, the second captain of the old and solemn building.

"I have received news that the remnants of Gurlitt are under the protection of Ulysses Bill, the lord of Bill and Yacheng, and are recruiting troops in Bir and Yacheng, and may counterattack Yulan City in the near future." Mullen sat in his chair and spoke slowly, as if he was saying something inconsequential.

"Ahh With the exception of Selwyn, the other captains all looked surprised.

"Selwyn, do you know about Gurlit's recruitment in Bill & Ya?" Seeing the only calm Selwin, Maren asked curiously.

"Back to Your Highness," Selwyn replied hurriedly, "I know Gurlitt better, this man, although brutal and luxurious, is very resilient, and will not easily accept his defeat. I don't know that His Highness has already sent spies, thinking that His Highness will not be able to remember about Gurlitt for a while, so some time ago, I privately sent someone to inquire about him, so I told His Highness about his recent situation. Just now my spies came back and brought back the latest situation of Gullit, and before I could report it to His Highness, His Highness sent someone to summon me. ”

"It's still General Selwyn who thinks thoughtfully," Mullen exclaimed after listening to Selwin's answer, "I don't know the specifics of Gurit yet, but let's listen to the information from your spies." ”

"Okay," said Selwin, taking out a stack of papers from his bosom, opening it, "On the third day after Gullit's escape to the city of Bill and Asia, he persuaded the lord of the city of Bill and Asia that Ulysses Bill and Asia agreed to temporarily lend the town of Puster, which belonged to the city of Bill and Asia, to Gullit, and let Gullitt recruit troops there. ”

"Gurlitt has gathered a total of more than 20,000 people so far with the property he took from Youlan City, most of these people are mercenaries and adventurers who travel to and from the entire Lott Plain, although the quality of individual soldiers is very good, but they are all stragglers, extremely lacking in discipline and organization, and are in a disadvantageous position in the battle of the large army."

"In addition, when Gullit escaped from Youlan City, he took away the three thousand guards around him, these troops are all soldiers with high martial arts, because the guards are all veterans, although it can't be said that one is ten, but it is okay to take one as three and four as one, so this army is the most threatening."

"According to the agreement reached between Gullitt and Bill, Billia agreed to send five thousand troops to assist Gullitt in the battle."

"It seems that the situation is very serious," after listening to Selwin's answer, Mullen sighed: "I have only taken over Youlan City for more than a month, and the internal situation is still very unstable, so this war cannot happen in the territory of Youlan City, we must strike first and control the war in the territory of Bill and Yacheng." ”

"And when are we going to send troops?" Anderson asked.

"Three days later!" Mullen said loudly: "General Selwyn, I have appointed you as the commander-in-chief of the Left Route Army, commanding the second and third buildings to set out from the town of Nashville and attack the town of Magnolia, the southern important town of Bir and Ya. ”

"The last general commands!" Selwin stood up and replied.

"General Badas, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, commanding the fourth and fifth buildings from the town of Pyrsi to attack the town of Bill and the town of Fordes, an important town in the north of the city." Mullen continued.

"The last general commands!" Bardas replied, standing up.

"Anderson led the first building to stay in Youlan City, and I personally led the Guards and the Sixth Building, as well as the Warcraft army, as the middle route army, to attack Bill and the central town of Puster from Atlanta Town." Mullen continued, "Let's all go back and get ready." ”

"Yes!" The crowd stood up and saluted Mullen, and then they all walked out one by one.

The next day, Mullen handed over the list given by Apredo to Browns, and at the same time sent someone to invite Anderson to provide personnel support for Browns' affairs during the period when Mullen was away from Orchid City.

Early in the morning of the third day, Mullen led the guards to the school field outside the city, except for Anderson's first building to enter the city to take over the guarding of the guards, the remaining five officers and soldiers were neatly divided into five phalanxes and stood under the point general.

After the three drums, Mullen began to point the generals, and the officers and soldiers of the five buildings had already arrived, and Mullen did not talk nonsense, and directly issued orders according to the plan three days ago, and the captains of each building led the soldiers out of the school field and went to the front line in turn.

The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, and the political director who was in charge of the logistics of this expedition when Mullen was in charge of the general, Apredo, had already prepared the people and baggage he needed, and every team that was going to go to the battlefield was equipped with enough food and grass for a month and the people who escorted the grain and grass, and he had already begun to prepare for the follow-up supplies Apredo.

In the Mullan Continent, only metal weapons can withstand fighting spirit and enchantment, so the weapons of the army in the Mullan Continent are relatively simple, the heavy infantry uses one-handed giant swords and iron shields, the light infantry uses two-handed giant swords, the heavy cavalry uses three-meter-long iron cavalry spears, and the light infantry uses bows and arrows and one-handed swords.

The barren Lott Plain is extremely short of war horses, and the monsters only accept orders from their masters, so there are a large number of monsters in the Mullen sky and can only form infantry.

However, with the use of the armor seized from the castle, Mullen formed a bend of heavy infantry for each of the buildings to attack the fortifications, while the other four bends could only wear leather armor with weak defenses.

In two days, Mullen led his men to Atlanta, rested for the night under the hospitality of Atlanta Mayor Gallup Atlanta, and the next day marched to Bill and the town of Puster in Atlanta.

After another two days, Mullen had arrived at the city of Pust, but Gurlit, who had already received the news, had ordered all the gates of Pust to be closed.

Gullit, who already had 20,000 mercenaries, stood on the gate of Pust Town, if he looked at the army of less than 10,000 people under the city and the violet banner representing the Grand Duke of Roland in the army, and did not understand who attacked him, the tens of thousands of demonic beasts next to the army had already clearly told Gurlitt that the enemy under the fence he had killed was coming.

Taking advantage of the fact that Mullen had come from afar and had not yet gained a firm foothold, Gullitt led his most elite 3,000 guards to mount his war horses and rushed to Mullen, who was encamped.

Seeing the army coming in the city, the soldiers who were camping immediately panicked, and while sending Zakalaias to pacify the army, Mullen ordered the Warcraft army to leave the camp and assemble, and after assembling, they rushed back to the Gullit army that came out of the city.

Although Gullit's guards are all elite, and each soldier is a swordsman above the third level, the level of the Warcraft that is better than Mullen is okay and far more numerous than Gullit's cavalry, and the two armies have delayed the offensive of Gurlit's cavalry as soon as they first met.

Although there was no shortage of sixth-level swordsmen in the Gullit army, and each commander was a seventh-level swordsman, he also became scrambling in the face of hundreds of demon wolves and hundreds of Kodo beasts at the same time.

The first encounter of this war took place in such a hurry, and the combat effectiveness of Gullit's Guards was a bit higher than Mullen thought, and Mullen's Warcraft army was not as simple as Gullitt imagined.

Neither side wanted to lose the lead in the first encounter, thus turning such a small surprise attack into a contest of strength between the two sides.

In the Mulan Continent, the war horse is an outlier, although it is not a Warcraft, but it has the speed and strength that ordinary low-level Warcraft cannot have, so that an ordinary knight can resist twice as many Warcraft of the same level with a Warhorse. (To be continued.) )
