The army has been assembled, and war is on the verge of breaking out.

In its present form, the fort of Lundiya was garrisoned a large army of Dastam and his troops of Agur and Ubai, plus a large number of ringing horses, totaling more than 15,000 men. And did a good job of defending tightly. The large army of Saiga Khan has been gathered at the junction of the plains and the steppe, with their mobility, they can reach the Lundia Fort in half a day, and the Saiga Khan has also made a bloody effort, bringing almost all the elite troops, and spending a lot of money to hire a lot of mercenaries, some of which are from neighboring countries. The total is around 30,000.

Dastam announced that he was the king of the Kugit Khanate, which undoubtedly dealt a great blow to the majesty of Saiga, and if Saiga did not respond to this, those who did not know the situation would probably think that anyone could compete for his royal power.

On the other hand, in the city of Decherim, the assembled counts discussed for several days without any result, their losses were relatively large, no one wanted to fight again, and they did not know whether the large army from the east was the same as the army of Fort Lundia, but at this time King Harauth was not present, and none of them could make a decision, not even Craggs. If you rush out and fall into the trap, then the blow to the Swadia Kingdom will be devastating. However, the remaining 10,000 elite soldiers, plus the soldiers defending the city, were enough to resist Saiga's 30,000 army, but those villages were about to suffer again.

After a short pause, the Sega army sent several vanguard teams to reconnoitre, and further on it was someone else's territory, so it was necessary to be cautious. Saiga knew that Dastam's troops and these ringing horses were suitable for fighting in the steppe, and they had no advantage in the plains, but they were cowering in the city, and it was a difficult battle.

In the city of Castelo de Lendia, an adult is sitting in the castle hall, sipping a good cup of tea.

"This tea tastes really good." The adult said.

"Yes, it's the best in the mountains near Fort Lerague."

"Let's treat it as a national treasure in the future."

"Yes, my lord is really interested."

"Report." A crisp and loud voice came from outside the door.

"Come in."

"According to the soldiers defending the city, about two thousand light cavalry came from the east."

"I see, you step back first."

The Khan's guard bowed and left silently.

"Do you have any comments? Akrone. ”

"I think it's just Saiga's reconnaissance unit, so we don't have to worry about it."

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about how things are going on your family's side."

"All the best."

"That's good."

The scouting force roamed outside the heavily armed city, but kept a safe enough distance that the city's defense equipment and bows and arrows could not reach them.

Kugit has never been good at siege warfare, the soldiers dismounted like a fish lost water, and their combat effectiveness declined very badly, plus most of them were lightly armed, and there was no advantage in siege warfare, only by the rain of arrows.

Saiga was bound to win this battle, and the combat effectiveness of those ringing horses was low, and it was just a matter of filling. The real opponent is only about 5,000 elite soldiers. But Sega always felt like he was stuck in a deep, deep quagmire.

After the reconnaissance force returned to report, the large army did not set off immediately, but set up camp on the border, and built many fortifications, and the engineers were also nervously building siege equipment, but with their strength, it was difficult to build a giant equipment with great lethality. Saiga had no idea of storming, and even from here it would only take half a day to get to Fort Lentia. It is completely possible to besiege the city, consume them to a certain extent, and they will open the gates themselves. Saiga has prepared a large number of rockets for this.

Late at night, in one of the tents of the Sega troops.

"Are we really going to do this? That's infamous. A man said.

"Do we have a way out?" Another man said.

Suddenly, the air was suddenly quiet.

"Let's do it." The man said again.

"The result is the same anyway, why not die a heroic death?"

Early in the morning, hundreds of soldiers sounded the horn of assembly, and the soldiers quickly put on their equipment, brought weapons, and mounted their horses.

Densely packed with a large area. But there is no superfluous noise.

After a long time, Saiga appeared in the field of vision wearing a golden robe and riding a tall armored war horse.

After the rectification, the morale of this force reached a climax.

According to Saiga's order, 10,000 soldiers cut off the castle from the outside world, and sent another 10,000 men to suppress it, while the rest of the people stayed in the headquarters to rest, and at night the people in the headquarters rotated with the frontal battlefield to fight wheel battles, so that they could replenish and rest in time and effectively. Saiga has always been such a cautious monarch.

In the first round, Sega was definitely going to be involved, which would help morale, but after the substitution, he was watching from the sidelines, which was good for the command.

More than 20,000 people set off in a mighty way.

"Saiga, old thing, play siege for me." Dustam said.

"So how do we respond?" Although Agull was quite confident before, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked when he saw this black pressure on a large number of cavalry quickly surround the castle.

"As long as your business is done, we won't lose."

"I'm afraid that even if they are counted, it will not be easy to fight this army." Agull said worriedly.

"Rest assured, this cautious old fellow won't fight us to the death. When more than half of his army is lost, it is time to retreat. ”

"One of Sega's troops has cut us off from supplies to Dehrim." A Guardian reports.

"It's okay, we've brought enough food with us."

"No matter how much we say we have so many more people, I'm afraid it's ......"

"How can there be so many problems, Agull, your bravery in fighting outside has spread throughout the continent."

“……”

"Alright, step down, I have my own arrangements."

Dustam was unfazed by this terrible situation, he knew Saiga.

The old king, Rodford Elut Campbell, was a man of many offspring when he invaded the steppe from the other side of the continent, but most of them died before they died (nobles usually intermarried with nobles, and if they couldn't find them, only close relatives married). ）。 Some of those who survived were instilled by their mothers with the idea of seeking power and usurping the throne since childhood, causing them to fight openly and secretly from an early age.

Dustam is a prime example, he was a master of swordsmanship since he was a child, and sometimes he did not hesitate to poison the blade of his sword or his opponent's food in order to achieve his own goals. When he grew up to be a young man, he was even more of a killer, employing many professional assassins from Salander to kill those princes to the ground. With one exception, Saiga learned from an early age that swordsmanship between princes was no joke, so he hardly participated in these activities, and was naturally deprived of the right to inherit by the old king, but it was a blessing in disguise, because the professional killers were tasked with killing all the heirs except Dastam. In order to inherit the position of Khan, Dastam used a little means to make the old king die early, so he took the throne smoothly.

But he never imagined that most of the ministers would not accept him, but would instead support Sega as the new khan, and Dastam accused these ministers of not having the spirit of nobility, but instead they were deprived of the rights of the nobles and expelled from the city.

Years of shame, Dastam never forgets.

His plan was to break out of the siege after pretending to be besieged for several days and running low on supplies, and at this point Sega must have taken precautions. When the time comes, the family of Agull will mutiniate en masse, and with the advantage of their horses, they can easily defeat these dismounted soldiers, and then their own army will attack as a whole, and Saiga will flee with his tail between his legs knowing that he has lost a large number of men and horses.

However, Sega seems to be more cautious than Dasham had imagined.

Just when Dasham was implementing the plan step by step, the most critical step came to lure Sega to attack the city, but it failed. Saiga's army, as if seeing through his plan, was not to approach the castle. Guerrilla warfare is fought only outside, even if the gates are wide open.

"This old fox." Dustam said through gritted teeth.

"According to these circumstances, even if all the people of my family are combined, I am afraid that they will not be able to defeat Saiga." Agull grew disillusioned.

This castle is really as Saiga expected, the food is exhausted, the rest is monopolized by the nobles, and the horses riot again, and if it drags on, it may not be self-defeating. Originally, the food that Dustam had stored for several years was completely sufficient, but this Saiga fired a large number of rockets, turning a large amount of food in the city into ashes, and only a few high-quality products placed in the castle were unharmed.

This time, it was Dashtam who was negligent, and although he was very talented in fighting, he was expelled after only a few years of training. Therefore, most of his ideas are theoretical knowledge in books, and he lacks practical experience. After all, he was defeated by Saiga.

Dustam let out a long sigh, and at this point he made a decision that it would be okay to fight Sega to the death.

"Tomorrow, all out of town, target, Sega." Dastam straightens up military discipline and declares goals.
