Zacharaias is the commander-in-chief that Hale values most in addition to Selwin, but at the age of twenty-seven, he has already reached the intermediate level of the seventh-level swordsman, and with his qualifications, he is likely to reach the level of the ninth-level great swordsman before the age of forty. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Kazalaias has a big hobby is that he likes to duel with people, especially with a swordsman who is higher than his own level, Hale, who has reached the seventh level of the sword master, has not been guilty of him less, and is often beaten by Hale with a blue nose and swollen face, but Kazalaias has improved every time he is abused.

This time, Kazalaias's opponent is also a seventh-level high-level swordsman, who is not a few years older than Kazalaias, but judging from the fighting spirit of this swordmaster, there are already faint signs of breaking through to the peak of a seventh-level swordsman.

By the time Hale arrived at Simon, Kazalaias' offensive had already weakened, and he was completely pressed by his opponent, but with years of cross-level challenges, Kazalaias defused his opponent's offensive one by one.

Kazalaias, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, saw Hale leading the crowd to stand on the periphery, and was afraid of his recklessness for a while, and his moves were already a little messy in his panic, and he was soon found a flaw by his opponent, and was hit in the chest by a sword, shattering the heart guard, and Kazalaias himself was also knocked away.

Hale, who was quick-eyed, quickly jumped up, picked up Kazalaias from the air, and probed his fighting spirit into his veins, and only after probing Hale was relieved, he was worthy of being a master who was often abused, and such a heavy blow was only a little slightly injured.

After being picked up by Haleas to the ground, Kazalaias hurriedly saluted Hale: "The last general is reckless and almost ruined His Highness's great affairs, please punish His Highness." ”

Chapter 28 The soldiers are coming to the city

Hale glanced at Zacharaias angrily and said, "Your account will be settled later, go down to recuperate first." ”

"Who are you?" The swordsmith asked, seeing that Zacharaias had been taken, pointing his sword at Hale.

"I am Hale Tours, Grand Duke of Roland," Hale said to the swordman, handing the wounded Zacharaias to the soldier behind him, "My soldiers have surrounded you all, and you are now in a position to escape, and I advise you to be restrained and not to make unnecessary sacrifices." ”

Hearing Hale's words, the swordsman did not answer, but raised his sword and attacked Hale.

A young seventh-level high-level swordsman, Helto suddenly became fond of talent, and did not let the soldiers rush up and cut him into pulp, but raised his sword to meet him.

After all, he had been fighting with Zacharaias for a long time, but in just ten or twenty minutes, the swordsman already felt that the fighting spirit was unsustainable, and after a few rounds of fighting, he was put on the neck by Hale with a sword.

The soldiers on the periphery saw Hale's victory and instantly boiled, and the sound of "Wan Sheng" was endless, and the faces of the people on the side of the besieged Puster Homestead were like ashes.

"Convincing or not?" Hale asked the swordsman who had fallen to the ground and closed his eyes waiting to die.

"Humph!" When the swordsman saw that Hale didn't kill him immediately, he opened his eyes and said unconvinced: "It's just taking advantage of the danger of others." ”

"Hehe, you've been fighting Zacaraias for a long time, and you're already exhausted, and I'm really invincible." Hale put away his sword and chuckled, "It's a pity that your talents are buried here, why don't you surrender to me?" ”

"Hahahaha......" The swordsman laughed as if he had heard a big joke.

"Why, are my words so ridiculous?" Seeing the swordsman so presumptuous, Hale was slightly angry.

"You said you were going to recruit me, do you know who I am?" The swordsman sneered, despite Hale's discolored countenance.

"Oh," Hale intrigued, and followed the swordsman's words and asked, "and where are you?" ”

"Listen, my name is Albert Puster." The swordsman puffed up his chest proudly when he said his surname again, and wanted to wait for the other party to make a surprised sound, but the other party didn't react at all, and couldn't help but be a little discouraged, and then said: "My father is Feo Pusterton. ”

"Oh, so what's going on?" Still puzzled, Hale asked, "Why don't you let your father stay with you and continue to be the head of the Puster Homeland?" ”

"Uh," Hale's words made Albert Puster stunned for a while, and asked in a distrustful tone, "Are you willing to accept my father's surrender, not kill my father, and let my father continue to be the owner of the Puster Homeland, and not let your generals be the master of the Pulster Homeland?" ”

"It seems that you still don't understand the rules I have set," Hale patiently explained, "Under my command, the lord of the homeland is not allowed to lead troops, and the general who leads the army is not allowed to act as the governor of any place, so as long as your father surrenders to me, I can still make him the lord of his homeland, but he must hand over the army of the Puster homeland." ”

Listening to Hale's words, Albert Pust glanced at his father, and Feo Pust walked out of the crowd, nodded to Albert, and then knelt on one knee with Albert and swore to Hale: "The Lord of the Puster Homestead, Feo Pust, and Albert Pust owe allegiance to His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Roland." ”

Hearing the allegiance of Feo and Albert, Hale happily helped them up, but at this time, Gurlit, who was still in the encirclement, was like ashes, and led his diehards to break through while Hale helped up Feo and his son, but was instantly hacked to death by the soldiers on the periphery.

After the capture of the Pust Homestead, Hale rested in the Puster Homestead for three days, mainly to collect prisoners and house the wounded, and Hale was also busy domesticating the monsters to make up for the losses in the siege.

The war in the era of cold weapons has such a little advantage, the soldiers on both sides killed in the dark, but the result is not many dead, usually the casualties reach 30% and are already considered elite before the rout, and the cavalry of Xiang Gurlitt died to the last person when the city was broken, which can be called a dead soldier, which is not achieved by nine out of nine soldiers.

The results of the post-battle statistics were that the besieging side had only 400 casualties on the monsters, while the defending side had collected more than 5,000 corpses, including 3,000 cavalry from Gullit.

Gullit's army of more than 20,000 was captured when the city was broken, and eight or nine thousand people were captured, and the rest were all scattered in a hurry, or they ran outside the city, and those who did not have time to run outside the city hid in the homes of the people.

Most of the soldiers hired by Gurlitt were brave and ruthless outlaws, and the hasty release of them was a very unstable factor for Hale's future rule, so Hale only released some soldiers with families recruited locally, and the rest were collected and arranged in the baggage team by Hale.

Hale's arrangements were only for soldiers of the third and fourth ranks, and for those officers above the centurion, Hale's aim was to come and go freely, but for the remaining officers, Hale promised to reserve corresponding positions for them in future expansions.

Although the armies of the countries on the mainland are led by the strong, most of the important positions are held by those nobles who have made achievements, and it is precisely because the development space of the poor in the army is too small that those poor swordsmen who are not high or low become mercenaries and live a life of licking blood on the edge of the knife.

However, because Hale had risen suddenly, and had not yet formed a group of nobles around him who were united by interests, most of the officers in Hale's army were of poor origin and did not have a high sense of the door, so most of the officers who were captured chose to stay.

Three days later, Hale left a brigade of soldiers with Fio Puster to guard the Pust Homestead, and continued his march towards the city of Smitters with the baggage collected from the Pust Homestead.

The army traveled more than 60 miles in a day, and it took two days to reach Roseville, another subsidiary of Smitters.

There are only 4,000 soldiers in the Roseville homeland, and they can't stop Hale's tens of thousands of troops at all, and the owner of the Roseville homeland is also an interesting person, seeing Hale's army under the city, he hurriedly opened the city gate with all the officials and people of the homeland to welcome Hale's army into the city.

For such a well-informed homeowner, Hale did not make it too difficult for him, but asked for 4,000 homestead soldiers in his hands and took away the excess grain and grass in the city, leaving another brigade of troops to maintain local law and order.

It was at this time that Hale received reports of the battle from the left and right armies, and since Vobot Smits had sent a corps of 5,000 men each to the Foudes and Magnolia homelands in time, the attack on both sides was hindered, and Selwyn and Bardas sent someone to inquire about Hale's battle plan.

Since Fu Bot sent 5,000 reinforcements to each of the Fodes and Magnolia homesteades, the number of defenders in these two homes reached at least eight or nine thousand, and although the young and strong of the two cities could not play any role in defending the city, they could carry siege equipment and carry the wounded, which had liberated many soldiers defending the city, and it could be said that even if they fought in the field outside the city, their own army did not have much advantage.

Now that the goal of containing Fourbott has been achieved, Hale immediately ordered Selwyn and Bardas to go on the defensive, and wait for Hale to break through the city of Smiters before turning back to clean up the rootless duckweed.

In order to ensure that the command can be secure. Quickly reaching the hands of Selwyn and Bardas, this time Hale did not let the soldiers pass the news, but each sent five horned bee beasts as heralds to fly to the left and right armies.

After another two days, Hale finally led his army to the city of Smites.

For Hale's army to gather in Smits City, the entire Smit City instantly panicked, although everyone knew that the Grand Duke of Roland in Youlan City sent troops to attack Smits City because Fu Bot took in Gullitt and allowed Gullitt to recruit soldiers privately, but after all, it was a matter on the border, and it was originally a very distant thing, but who knew that it had been beaten to the doorstep by the other party in just over half a month.

When Hale's army arrived in the city of Smites, Fu Bot was directing his staff to arrange the food and grass for the more than 10,000 soldiers who had just gathered from the four homes in the west.

In fact, from the beginning of the war, Fu Bot had already spread scouts to the east of Smits City, but due to Hale's ability to fly, the Scouts could not approach the battlefield.

Although there is no information about the scouts, according to his previous experience, even if Hale's army wins, it will take a long time, and it should be a miserable victory, which is just convenient for himself to take advantage of the fisherman, and it is even possible to counterattack into Youlan City and seize the rich land that he has already coveted.

It has been more than half a month since the start of the attack on the city of Smitters, and Hale estimates that Fu Bot has gathered the soldiers of various homes, these soldiers are different from the rabble of Gurlit, they are all veterans of the battlefield, so Hale is ready to fight a protracted war.

As Hale had expected, the more than 10,000 troops who had gathered in Smiters on Hearbert's orders were now stationed in the barracks west of Smiters, which were only temporary quarters that had just been built, with little defense at all.

Hale's tens of thousands of troops came in a mighty way, raising smoke and dust to cover the sky for more than ten miles, the officers and soldiers in the barracks outside the west city are all battle-hardened people, and the number of enemies can be judged from the dust raised, and at this time, the commanders of each battalion are in the city lord's mansion, and there is not even a person in charge of the battalion, and the soldiers of the whole battalion are running around in horror.

Whether it is in the past life or in this life, it is often some uncertain factors that play a key role, the main thing is whether you can grasp it, and this time Hale has grasped it.

Upon receiving the news that the horned bee beast serving as a scout had returned from the west of the city, Hale immediately ordered the army to circle the city and storm the military camp west of the city.

The armies on the west side of the city came from four different places, and the sudden attack caused them to go their separate ways, and with the fact that their commanders were all in the city, they lost the possibility of coordination with each other, and as a result, they were broken by Hale's army.

When Hale's army attacked the military camp west of the city, Fu Bot, who had fainted in the city lord's mansion, also woke up under the treatment of the priest.

One of the things that Fu Bot did after awakening was to order the 5,000 troops in the city to immediately support the troops outside the city, and the commanders of the armies outside the city also went out of the city with the army to take over the troops outside the city, and at the same time ordered 3,000 guards to take over the defense of Smitus and patrol the streets to prevent small disturbances.

Of course, the troops in the city could not hide Hale, who was engrossed in deploying his mental power to command the battlefield, and when the defenders in the city were assembled and left the city, they were immediately blocked by the Sixth Brigade led by Zakalaias.

At this time, the Boliu Corps had been stationed in the city after many divisions and the losses on the battlefield in the early stage were now less than 4,000 people, and it was very difficult to face the attack of the 5,000 troops in Smits City, and it was only by virtue of the morale aroused by the victories in the past few days that it was able to block the opponent's attack.
