Chapter 548: Attack and Defense of Aran City (7)
"This tactic sounds unreliable, but what if the gates can't be opened? What if Riewig can't open the situation? Lin Buyi also came to the princess's tent, and said with a frown: "Even if they take Odani's words as a deaf ear, do they really think that this battle can be won nine times out of ten?" ”
"It's just a general tactic, and if something happens, the commander can temporarily change the combat policy." Jiang Ling continued: "I think this Yalord has something else to hide, maybe he has already arranged other plans of action with the general of Ni'an and the three chieftains close to him. This wolf-ambitious guy is afraid that he will not only capture the city of Alan, but also make some moths to eradicate dissidents. ”
Lin was annoyed and said: "It's a vicious battle with an unknown outcome and an unknown outcome, and you still have to think about fighting in the nest?" Is he crazy? ”
Luo Ling thought about it and said worriedly: "If he really has different intentions, wouldn't it be very dangerous for General Liweig to lead his troops to take the lead?" ”
"It's not just a danger, I think it's jumping into a fire pit." Jiang Ling stared and said, "I have to think of a way." ”
"The siege is about to begin, and we don't have time to change the attack plan." Yasna also looked anxious, she looked at Jiang Ling and asked, "What can I do to protect General Liweig?" ”
Yasna threw this question to him out of trust in Jiang Ling, but Jiang Ling was also very distressed at this time, and he said: "According to my guess, this battle should be a must-lose situation, and all we can do is how to reduce the losses." But so far, there is no main quest issued, but it can't be preconceived, maybe the victory or defeat of this battle is really only between the two. ”
The main quest was not issued, and Jiang Ling could not determine whether this battle was a regular offensive and defensive battle or a doomed escape war, so he could only take both possibilities into account.
"If it's just a regular offensive and defensive battle, as long as Yalord doesn't deliberately play tricks, and the follow-up troops can keep up, this head line is not impossible to fight." Jiang Ling was puzzled: "But if this battle is destined to be unwinnable, then Riweig, who is the first to rush into the city, is almost a certain death." ”
"What then?" Yasna was anxious, Riwig was her loyal subordinate, and it was because she was too close to her that she was so targeted by Yarod, if Riwig died in this battle, her influence in the army would be further reduced, and more importantly, Yasna would feel guilty and difficult to let go.
"I wish the gate was stronger than we thought, so that Rywig wouldn't have to go into the city." Jiang Ling sighed and said: "This main task, it seems that it will not be issued until one second before the start of the fight, is it to test our judgment and reaction speed?" ”
"Or I'll go with General Richig?" Lin did not live up.
Jiang Ling immediately shook his head and said, "It's too risky." ”
Yasna thought for a moment, looked at Jiang Ling and said, "Although I also keep the words of Odani's predecessor in mind, judging from the current information, our side does have a great chance of winning. ”
"So you think this battle has to be fought?"
"Indeed, along with the national division to the front line, there is also a new batch of grain, grass and armor sent by Ion, as well as a strengthened version of the magic crystal cannon. Moreover, in the past two days, the army has been mobilized, and our side has a total of nearly 120,000 troops, and it stands to reason that the garrison of Aran City will not be able to withstand this offensive. Yasna bit her lower lip and said, "Could it be that Odene Senpai's admonition actually refers to something else, not about combat?" ”
"It's not impossible." Jiang Ling paced inside the account, thinking about the various situations that might happen.
At this moment, a dull roar suddenly exploded overhead.
Jiang Ling was taken aback and asked, "What is this?" Aran City's magic crystal cannon has been activated? ”
Yasna walked quickly to the tent and took a look, then said, "It's thunder." ”
"Thunder?" Jiang Ling thought to himself that the weather was quite sunny just now, why did thunder suddenly sound? He was puzzled: "Is it going to rain?" ”
Yasna shook her head and said, "The clouds are thin in the sky, and it may not rain. These two days are naturally out of phase, and it is not the first time that the sky has been thunderbolted. Even yesterday at noon, a few snowflakes fell strangely, and it has never snowed here in the past two months, and I don't know what happened. ”
"Huh?" Jiang Ling was surprised when he heard this, thinking that this was some kind of omen before the war? Or is it a sign of something else?
"It's been strange in the last few days, but now is not the time to talk about that." Luo Ling hurriedly turned around and said, "It's about to go into battle, is there any good way?" ”
Outside the tent, there was a sound of footsteps, indicating that the troops had begun to assemble.
Yasna put on soft armor and luxurious robes, took a deep breath and said, "Now that it's over, I can only take one step at a time. ”
Jiang Ling was still thinking about the thunderous thunder, Lin Buyi patted him lightly, and said, "I want to follow the national teacher, the princess is handed over to you for protection." ”
"Okay." Jiang Ling nodded, Lin Buyi and the princess nodded in greeting, and then walked out of the military tent.
Jiang Ling retracted his thoughts, looked at the princess and asked, "By the way, who is that Kezi chief?" ”
"He is the eldest chief, he is old and steady, and he is cautious in his words, and he has never made it clear whether he will help my brother or me." Yasna said truthfully.
"Then what is Wang Yuanou doing with him?" Jiang Ling muttered, just finished the pre-war meeting, thinking that the three of them would get together to discuss it first, who knew that Wang Yuanou would follow Nakezi directly and leave. Jiang Ling didn't have a problem with this indifferent guy, and then sighed: "Then take it one step at a time, you must remember to protect yourself." ”
"I know." Yasna nodded and said, "Tadon, Luo Ling, and Unomon will always follow me." ”
Luo Ling also raised his chest and said, "I will always be by her side." ”
"There will inevitably be many Xuanji powerhouses participating in this battle, you have to be extra careful." Jiang Ling patted Luo Ling's shoulder and said seriously: "You should also be careful, don't act impulsively." ”
As Princess Vero, Yasna is naturally a noble person, and Luo Ling, a wild boy, is actually the only son of the apostle Luo Anhan and the former Princess Dainian, and her status is only higher than Yasna.
Originally, Audene was not allowed to attack Aran City by the coalition forces, and if Luo Ling died in this battle, Audene would not be angry to death.
Jiang Ling sighed and muttered, "Without the support of the Divine Court, if the other party has someone from the Divine Court, it will be difficult for us to deal with it." ”
Yasna suddenly looked up at Jiang Ling, as if she had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ling asked.
Yasna leaned into Jiang Ling's ear and whispered, "Actually... The deputy commander of the Divine Beings is in our army. ”
.......
"It's coming soon." On the wall of Aran City, a man with a fat figure but still looking powerful looked at the enemy camp in the distance, and said, "After gathering so many men and horses, and transferring the Ni'an National Division, these greedy guys are really going to force us to a dead end." ”
On the city wall, hundreds of soldiers have been waiting for them, and some soldiers are constantly running behind, crossbow arrows, sasswood, rolling stones and other city defense equipment have already been prepared, and there are also baskets of crystals near the two magic crystal cannons.
The fat and strong man picked up a spar in his hand, sneered and said, "Nian's side thinks that our magic crystal cannon can only fire three cannons, but in fact, our magic crystal cannon is enough to fire five cannons, and these five cannons will be enough for them to have a headache for a while." ”
The magic crystal cannon uses the hedron as an energy source, which is hugely powerful, but also consumes a lot of money, and each magic crystal cannon can send out several attacks, not only depends on the reserve of the crystal, but also has an inseparable relationship with the quality of the magic crystal cannon itself.
The magic crystal cannon itself is made of extremely rare metal, and there are complicated inscription arrays engraved during the period, which can convert a large amount of spar energy into a brilliant means of attack, but this process will also cause a certain amount of loss to the magic crystal cannon itself, and it must take a while to recover after firing several times in a row and the cannon body is running to the extreme.
If you don't cool down for a while, forcibly activating it will cause damage to the magic crystal cannon, and even make the energy explode, but hurt yourself.
And the two on the wall of Aran City are obviously more advanced magic crystal cannons, and they can fire five cannons in a row.
"These two cannons will shoot a total of ten shots, but they will consume a small half of the treasury's reserves." A slightly older man with gray sideburns stood aside in his usual brown cloth robe, stroked his goatee, and said, "Your Majesty has begun to urge those princes and ministers to hand in the spars, and those adults are going to have a pain in their flesh." ”
The fat general didn't dare to take this stubble, but asked: "Old general, a spy reported that Nian also sent a magic crystal cannon to the front line, what do you say they want to use this magic crystal cannon for?" ”
"That magic crystal cannon, nine times out of ten, it was the one that the former Emperor Nion spent a lot of money to drum up, it was named the frost cloud cannon, I heard that this frost cloud cannon is not the same as the normal magic crystal cannon, it consumes more spars, it is extremely powerful, and it can hit a blow close to the middle realm of Xuanji. But the disadvantage is that after this shot, there is no stamina, and it will not be used for a second time in ten days and half a month. But Nian hasn't used this cannon much, who knows if it's true or not. The old general squinted his eyes and said, "These guys may want to use this magic crystal cannon to bombard the city gate." ”
"Boom at the gates?" The fat general was a little unexpected, and then said with some fear: "If there is really a blow close to the Xuanji Middle Realm, it is really possible to destroy the defensive array of the city gate." ”
"It doesn't matter, even if you open the city gates." The old general said flatly.
The fat general was a little uncertain, there were only 50,000 defenders in Yalan City, but the other party had 120,000 troops, and what they relied on was the sophisticated city defense equipment.
The fat general asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Heh, what kind of are you talking about." The old general chuckled, shook his head and said, "This is war, where is the time when there is nine out of ten." People who think they are going to win before they start fighting, that is a problem with their brains. ”
was so squeezed by the old man, the fat general with a sideways face didn't dare to speak.
The fat general was the leader of the garrison of Aran City, named Candello, with the rank of Grand Knight Chief, the title of Marquis, and his status in the Rosen Army was second only to several Templar Commanders. On weekdays, he is also a good-tempered and ruthless lord. But in front of the old general, he behaved like a sheep.
At this time, two of the retinue put on armor for the old general, which was a pair of silver-gray armor with a dragon carved on his chest. Then another golden cloak hung on the old general's shoulders.
Candelo swallowed subconsciously.
Jiaolong armor, only the Templars can wear it.
The golden robe can only be obtained by those who have made monstrous feats.
The old general patted the long sword on his waist, his voice became much duller, and he said: "But then again, today's battle is an exception, what does Aran City mean, I'm afraid that the stupid emperor of Ni'an and the group of barbarians like Vero have forgotten." But someone will remember, so we have to win, and we're going to win. ”
The old general's tone was ordinary, but there was a mountain-like momentum, as if he was stating a truth.
He turned to Candelo and asked, "What about the two Skywalkers?" It's called Hleimond and Clendia, right? Call them to me. ”
"Yes."
