Chapter 201: Reinforcements Arrive
A large number of shouts and screams in the Silver Pine Village reached the bottom of the mountain, but after a long time, no news came back, and Odoase, Hall, and Mondy didn't need to think about it to know that the matter was exposed, and the three hundred elites had gone and had no return.
Inside the tent of the coalition forces, Hall was furious: "How can this be? Why is this the ending? Didn't you say that the mountain path was very secret, Odoase? Why didn't any of them come back? โ
Mundy said with an ugly face, "I don't think there's any other explanation for this matter than that there are spies between us!" โ
Hall and Mondy both looked at Odoaser at the same time, Odoase's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Hey, what are you looking at me for?" I proposed this action, do you think I will report to the Huns myself? And among those three hundred, there are also one hundred of me, and I haven't been generous enough to give my own people to the Huns to kill, right? I think there must be something we don't know about! โ
Hall and Mondy thought about it, if Odoase was a spy, he would definitely not let his men accompany him to his death, no spy has such a large capital, and he will not be so generous.
Since Odoase is not a spy, what is going on? Hall also stopped targeting Odoase, and snorted angrily: "Anyway, we must have Hun spies inside, otherwise this kind of thing will definitely not happen!" โ
Mundy frowned, "But the only three of us know about this!" โ
"Check, it must be bad, or we will live under the surveillance of spies all day long. Our every move is in someone else's hands! Hall shouted.
The investigation was immediately launched, and soon the guards outside the tent were the first to be called in for questioning. Valdoru appears in the eyes of the three chiefs, and Valdoru is quickly brought into the tent for interrogation.
Waldo is Odoase's cousin, but the big picture is at stake, and Odoaser is not easy to brazenly protect, and the interrogation is conducted by Hall and Mondy, but Odoase is on the sidelines.
Mundi looked at Valdoru for a while and said, "Tell me, what benefits did the Huns give you?" Why did you betray us. There's your cousin here! โ
Valdoru looked dazed: "Leader Mundy, you, what are you talking about?" How do I not understand what you are talking about? What the Huns gave me benefits. What a betrayal, I don't understand at all! โ
"Smack!" Hall slapped the table angrily and shouted, "Valdoru, don't pretend to be confused for me, last night the three of us planned to send three hundred people from the trail up the hill to raid the Silver Pine Village this morning. But the 300 people never came back after entering the Silver Pine Village. None of them came back, and you were the only one who came outside the big tent at that time yesterday, and you must have listened to our conversation, who would it be if you didn't report the news to the Huns? I advise you to stop quibbling, and admit it as soon as possible, so that the leader of Mondi and I can intercede for you before Odoas, and for the sake of your cousin, you will be spared death!" โ
How could Valdoru not understand that Hall was cheating him, and of course he would not admit it if he was killed. Not to mention that no one saw him eavesdropping, even if someone did. As long as there is no evidence of the scene that he eavesdropped, he doesn't have to worry, you must know that he is Odoase's cousin, this identity is very useful, at least for now, because Odoase has been guarding against Hall and Mondy for the final ownership of Lazlog, and he Valdoru is an arm of Odoyase, if Odoase is missing Valdoru's arm, it will be more difficult to deal with Hall and Mondy, as long as they have no conclusive evidence, Odoaser will definitely not let them touch him, for this, Valdoru was convinced.
"Hall, don't think that if you are the leader, I will be afraid of you, I sue you, you are not my leader! It's okay if you want to frame others, but if you want to frame me, I'm not done with you! Valdoru was furious, and then said: "That's right, I did come to the big tent last night, because I had something to see my cousin, but I was stopped by the guards outside, and I only stayed for a few breaths before leaving, if you are still clear-headed, you should know that it is impossible to hear anything in such a short time, not to mention that the sound of your conversation has not been heard outside at all, how can I hear it?" Cousin, don't be fooled by these two old guys, they don't have a good heart at all, maybe they just want to use this matter to get rid of me and cut off your right-hand man, you must not fall for them! โ
These words can be said to say that Odoase's heart went to him, he carefully asked the guard at the door, Valdoru did only stay outside the big tent for a few breaths, and it was impossible to hear anything substantive to talk to the guards in such a short time, and he was worried that Mondy and Hall would join forces to deal with him, and now his strength was greatly damaged, and he could not be compared with these two old guys in terms of troops, so it was better to be careful, although Valdoru had been separated from him for many years, but for more than half a year, He has always been with Valdoru, thinking that Valdoru will definitely not be Qin Dong's spy, you must know that at that time, Qin Dong had just come to serve here from the Xiongnu court, how could he have a relationship with Valdoru?
Valdoru succeeded, and he successfully took advantage of the previous conflict between Oddoace and Hall and Mondy, so that he was protected by Odรณyasse. Odoaser said: "The head of Hall, the leader of Mundi, we are now an alliance, there is no evidence, I think the two of you should be careful to deal with it, so as not to hurt the relationship between us, just because he appeared outside the big tent, it is not possible to judge that he is a spy of the Huns, and the movement of us to send three hundred people to secretly go up the mountain is not small, if we have spies inside, we may be aware of it, and it is not difficult to deduce their purpose from the whereabouts of those three hundred people, Valdoru is my cousin, what kind of person is he, Of course I know it, and I'm sure he won't be the one who leaked the news! โ
Odoaser is a bit of an obvious shortcoming, according to reason, Odoase should avoid suspicion, but he actually intervened directly and vouched for Valdoru, Hall and Mondy can't fall out with him, and now it's not a joke for the Huns to fall out with Odoase? There is no way, this matter can only be investigated in secret.
After two days without any results, there was good news from the side of the coalition forces, reinforcements from the Macedonian province of the Western Roman Empire arrived, but the Greek province of the Eastern Roman Empire did not send reinforcements, and Leo I played a great role.
The 1st Wing of the 13th Legion, stationed in the province of Macedonia of the Western Roman Empire, was twice as strong as the other nine Legions, a total of 1,322 people, and was led by the Captain of the Chorses Wing.
To the disappointment of Odoase, Hall and Mondy, the captain of the Homsis Wing did not bring the siege troops with him this time, because the letter of help received by the governor of Macedonia Province was sent by Odoyasse on the day that Qin Dong led his troops to Lazlog, and the letter only said that more than 2,000 Huns were attacking Razlog, and Razlog had not yet fallen at that time, and the Macedonian governor did not know that Razlog had been lost when he received the letter, so the reinforcements sent were only infantry, of course, there were no siege troops, not even the heavy armor and large shields of the infantry, In order to get to Lazlog as quickly as possible, this wing was only equipped with light armor and weapons, and no other equipment was brought, so how could this army attack the city?
In the big tent, Odoase, Hall, Mondy and others all had a sad face, the spy didn't find it, not to mention, now the reinforcements are coming, but these people are like them, there are no siege weapons to use, do they really have to use human lives to pile up?
Seeing the expressions of Odoases and the others, Homsis asked, "Don't worry, don't worry, the three leaders, can any of you introduce me to the situation of this Hun thousand-commander Qin Dong?" โ
The three of them glanced at each other, and finally Odoaser answered, "Let me tell you, only I am the most familiar with him, we have dealt with him a few times, and only I know him best!" โ
With Odoyase's explanation, Homsis also gradually understood Qin Dong, and when Odoaser finished his introduction, he said: "I believe what the leader of Odoasse said, this Qin Dong is indeed not a simple Hun commander, but you don't have to worry, I believe that Qin Dong may really have a set in field warfare and siege, but now the offensive and defensive momentum has changed, it is our turn to attack, and he has to defend, you think about it, the Huns have no city at all, when did they fight a city defense war?" Even if he knows how to defend the city, he hasn't really fought after all, so it can be said that Yan Zรฒng is inexperienced, and I don't believe that with so many of us, we can't attack Razlog, who is not a person who can't defend the city at all! Three leaders, let your people start building siege ladders in the afternoon, and the day after tomorrow we will officially attack the city, and my people will take the lead! โ
The three leaders looked at each other and nodded in agreement, Odoase listened to Homsis's words and judged that this guy must be a master of great joy, fighting this kind of thing, especially fighting this kind of reinforcement battle, there is no benefit at all, even if he wins, there is no reward, and the average general can't hide, how can he be so self-motivated? It's even worse if you lose, not only will you lose your reputation, but you will also be punished when you go back, and you don't know if you are dead or alive!
Odoases also saw that Homsis was completely stunned, thinking that he was a general of the Western Roman Empire, so he did not take these three leaders seriously, and looked like they were barbarians, and at the same time underestimated the enemy on the other side. However, since Homsis himself took the initiative to take on the main force of the siege, he was not good at discouragement of others, and he had to cooperate carefully, I hope this guy has some military talent, not a brain.
