The Newcomer Chapter Ninety-Four: The Momentum of the Counteroffensive

Yi Ye's pretended to refine the special oil that caused a great commotion, and the alchemist master of Ahuenburg and many experts collected some for study. All of them racked their brains, and they couldn't figure out how this ordinary oil and these impurities could have such a strong chemical effect.

Saiga can now send most of the people to Rana, which can ease a lot of the pressure. But he didn't give the order because he believed that many people were "gone forever", and Sega didn't want to be disbanded like that, and he needed a big victory to rebuild his morale.

This oil can be mass-produced, which means that Saiga can completely carve out his own way of warfare, go south to attack Halma, and reclaim his territory in one fell swoop. But until then, more roads have to be opened up to support logistics.

Yi Ye was temporarily appointed as the leader of the seventh siege group.

Saiga was already preparing for the siege battle, and Yi Ye was appointed as the leader of the seventh group, which was only known to him, which was already a confidential matter. Although Yi Ye didn't know why Saiga dared to trust him so easily, the mere fact that Kress was captured in Halma was enough for him to fight.

All the oil in Ahuenburg was confiscated, and a new decree was added that every Kugit was to hand over all the oil, and that anyone found not to do so was to be hanged. Although most people can live on bread and cheese without touching oil and water, many nobles who are accustomed to big fish and meat are strongly opposed.

Noble Quarter

On the third floor of a six-story building, a man poked his little head out. Yi Ye's mood was very heavy, he was appointed as the leader of the siege team this time, and the change in the attitude of the people around him made him feel that he was indeed about to change qualitatively, the pheasant became a phoenix, and the commoner became a nobleman. It is not too difficult to be promoted to the nobility, someone is promoted, there are dinars, these two conditions are enough. But the problem is that after becoming a nobleman, it is also at the bottom, in front of the upper nobles, the lower nobles are powerless, and the nobles usually do not allow too many new nobles to appear, taking into account their own interests. Most of the new nobles came to a miserable end. However, Yi Ye didn't care about this problem, he just felt that he was going farther and farther, flying higher and higher, he was a little confused, so confused that he forgot his original self.

Yi Ye leaned against a delicate wooden sandalwood window, looking at a crescent moon, a little nostalgic.

The castle began to regain its blood, and the lazy people moved, and most of them devoted themselves to refining the "divine oil", and once it was refined, it was immediately put into use, and soon the snow around Ahuenburg was cleared. The surviving bow and arrow masters, the weapon masters, began to devote themselves to their work, did not move for a while, their hands were a little rusty, but soon entered the state.

Ahuenburg is alive, this is an extremely useful piece of information, if it were in normal times, it would have been spread a long time ago, but now this news is still known only to the people of Ahuenburg, and no one can get away before the road is opened.

Halma

Count Azwagan looked at the white expanse, still in deep thought. Anyone who knew that Sega's army was trapped in a small castle and considered the consequences, he was worried about the situation in Ahuenburg - no one wanted to be slaves to the country, and even if the nobles could take refuge in another country and make a comeback, it was the best way to go. No matter how high this mountain rises, it will be disgraced in history.

Halma didn't have many defenders, more or less resources were divided among the various lords, no one wanted to defend this castle that had been squeezed dry, coupled with the summons of the Sultan of Hakim, this place was already empty, and if Count Azugan wanted to, he could immediately spend a small amount of dinars to redeem himself. But with the presence of this thick snow, this is obviously impossible.

The defenders here are only sparsely scattered around 5,000 people, nearly half of them are remnants of the defeated army, once the fight is completely unbearable, but the guards are very relieved, at least before the heavy snow disappears, there is no need to worry, this is still a good thing for them, just stand guard to get a salary, although it is only half of the usual, but it is better than fighting the battlefield. Although they have been trapped by this snow for a long time, the people of Halma are quite nourished, at least they will not go hungry, I don't know if it is because of the lack of people, or because the nobles have evacuated here.

When Halma was originally built here, it was just to strangle the caravans that passed here, but he didn't expect to find many hidden iron and stone mines, so that the small castle that was originally just a few rows of stone walls stacked up developed into a large town in one fell swoop. But prosperity at the same time brings more war, neighboring countries all peep here, but now it is different, after the baptism of war, a large number of iron ore has been plundered completely, people only find that this is just a poor mountain and bad water.

Halma is one of the few towns where you can grow a lot of crops in the city, because it is covered with loess, which has a super fertility capacity. Due to its remote and dangerous location, the lords of their country, including Saiga, rarely come here. The Lord's Hall, which leads to the inner castle and the place where the lord's face is maintained, is slightly inferior to other towns. It also frees up more space for planting and welfare for the common people.

Saiga tried his best to recapture this place in order to curb the development of the Salander Sultan, the yellow sand of Salander and the loess of Kugit are blocked by a large continuous high mountain, and it is almost impossible to pass through this mountain, Salander's diplomacy relies on three passes, namely "Weiyeha Fort Pass", "Halma Pass (Salander people call Gamiyad Pass)" and "Azugan Fort Pass", most of the reason why Salander has been suppressed in the desert area for many years is that Halma and Azugan Fort are working, As a result, the Salanders could only enter and exit through the Weiyeha Fort Pass, which was extremely inconvenient and crowded. And now that the Salanders have been liberated, I am afraid that they will use Halma as a base and drive straight into the Rana region. This was Saiga's greatest fear, as the town of Lana guarded the western side of the kingdom and occupied a wealth of resources, and it was almost the only wide transportation artery in the kingdom. You can go out north and south of Turga, but it takes time and effort to get out of these passes, and it is absolutely impossible to earn dinars. Assuming that Rana is occupied, the Kugit Khanate will be "trapped and fighting". It didn't take much effort to "catch the turtle in the urn" to catch Sega to death.

Saiga was not very well prepared, saving about a week's ration every day, and the distance from Fort Ahuen to Rana was almost enough, and if you count the days of preparation for the siege, the soldiers would have to go hungry. However, this does not mean that this is a bad thing, Xiang Yu can still "fight against the water". It's just that the generals are different, and the soldiers' comprehension ability is different, which is not necessarily.

Almost all the oil in Fort Ahuen was spent, and this "road of war" that could accommodate 100,000 people was paved. Led by Saiga, the army of the Giant Lord and Bo Lun as the left and right protectors marched towards Halma, and the military advisor Boli could only sit on the cold bench for this siege plan for some reason. Due to the importance of this battle, there is no suitable candidate for the position of "marshal" for the time being, and Saiga is still holding it. The king who is a marshal is basically an existence that does not give up until the goal is achieved, and the king cannot play a positive guiding role if he becomes a marshal, so what kind of face should he use to face the people.

It wasn't until the day of departure that Yi Ye learned that Hiss had given him a hundred mercenary swordsmen, although they were mercenaries, they were armed with armor and their combat effectiveness was not low. Hiss wanted to repay Yi Ye and asked him what he wanted, Yi Ye repeated several times to save Halma's captives, without changing a word, Yi Ye's primary concern now is their safety, forgetting that he had done a great good deed, and it was understandable to take this opportunity to become an official. This hundred swordsmen were forcibly given by Heath, and how could they save the captives without soldiers.

With the network between Saiga and Hiss, Yi Ye's actions have long been thoroughly touched by them, although many people know that Count Azwagan won two victories on the border, but they may know the details better than Count Azogan Earl. Including the details of Yi Ye jumping at least ten feet high and cutting Rakumboye off his horse. That said, after that, Rakumboye had retreated to his domain, Migayet, for many days. Not only that, but all of Yi Ye's itineraries starting from Swadia were written on a few pages of vellum, and he was clearly arranged.

However, Yi Ye is a very upright person, even in this year, he has not done anything unseemly, Yi Ye has done some bad things, but the king and prince are not gods, and it is impossible to know everything.

The data shows that Yi Ye is a very strong "fighter", especially in swordsmanship, which is second to none, and defeating Vuldetrateboye is his most brilliant deed of these kraft papers. That Vdrat Boye was defeated by a civilian, and even suppressed by the momentum of this civilian? It's so ridiculous that anyone who sees this will think it's a bad joke. But Saiga and Hiss knew that was the truth, and that they couldn't go wrong with their eyeliner. In the eyes of the two of them, Yi Ye is a lamb that has yet to be cultivated.

Like a light, Yi Ye brought hope to the muddy Kujit, and Yi Ye "saved the captives of Halma" three times in a row strengthened Saiga's idea of besieging the city, and Saiga firmly believed that this person who could give hope to the kingdom would definitely bring a second hope, until this hope turned into heaven and earth and filled people's hearts. He firmly believes that this light can lead them forward and lead them to the brightest places.

Where there is light, there must be darkness, and if you want to face the light, you must turn your back to the darkness, and if you want to go to the light, you must embrace the darkness. The Kugit Khanate has been plunged into darkness for too long, and behind this darkness is light!
