Volume 2 Chaos Chapter 76 The Avant-Garde City 1
"Wait."
"What else does the Generalissimo command?"
"Make it clear to the soldiers."
"Yes."
Originally, I wanted Andrew to send a team of scouts to explore the way, but he was originally a general with troops, so he shouldn't even know this, and if I reminded him again, it seemed too much to underestimate him. So I changed my tune for the time being.
When the army had been assembled, and everything that had to be said had been said, they marched on to the city of the front guard. When I passed the gate of the City of Fear, I saw that the gate was closed, and the roar of zombies could be heard from time to time, and outside was a huge crater that was 100 meters long and five or six meters deep. Presumably, the zombies can't come out for the time being, but if the evil dog comes back to release the zombies......
We can't help it!
Getting closer and closer to the avant-garde city, I can't help but wonder what if the avant-garde city is already controlled by MiGs?
Siege?
The people are plunged into an abyss of misery!
Don't you siege the city?
The arrow is on the bow, we have to send, we have no way back!
There is no way, war must be accompanied by death, so we can only try to control it and not hurt the people.
"Andrew."
"Marshal."
"Let the soldiers be careful not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and not to harm innocent people."
"Yes."
Then I heard him call a herald to convey my message.
That's probably all I can do now.
A fast horse came running forward until Andrew approached, and the soldier reported to Andrew:
"My lord, the gate of the avant-garde city is wide open, and the city lord leads the city officials to greet you at the city gate."
I asked, "Does Lord James know the news of His Majesty's death?" ”
The owner of the avant-garde city is named James Aldington, who has passed through the avant-garde city several times and has had several encounters. Lord James was a middle-aged man, neither tall nor short, neither fat nor thin, and average-looking. As for his character, because he hasn't been together for a long time, he doesn't know much about it.
The soldier replied, "My lord, the Lord of James said that the news of the death of the former king had reached the avant-garde city, and he and MiG were at odds with each other. ”
"Okay, hard work, let's go down."
Since the Lord of James already knows about this, it will be easy to do, and in this way, the strength of our army can be directly increased.
In less than half an hour, we could already see the city lord and a group of officials standing at the city gate from a distance. When there were still a hundred paces left before the city gate, the lord of James led the crowd to meet him.
"James Aldington, Lord of the Avant-Garde, see Her Royal Highness the Princess." James saluted Lea first, and then greeted Andrew, me and Andrew.
I said, "Presumably, Lord James already knew about MiG's rebellion. ”
The Lord of James City had hatred on his face, and said angrily:
"The dog thief is simply a pig and a dog, and the first king respected him very much, and built a luxurious palace for him in the palace. And he already has a heavy army, has the title of duke, and is a very powerful minister. However, this did not satisfy him, and he dared to commit such a rebellious thing, which is really condemned by everyone! ”
"Exactly, now that the first king has died, His Royal Highness Liya has inherited the throne according to the will of the first king."
He was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Riya: "James Aldington, the lord of the avant-garde city, see Her Majesty. ”
After entering the city, the lord of James first arranged for our 10,000 soldiers and horses to be stationed in the west of the city, and then invited us to a dinner party to discuss important matters.
In the banquet hall, Liya sat in the first place, and the rest of the people sat on either side.
After the dinner, the maid cleaned up the banquet table.
I asked, "Lord James, how many soldiers are there in the avant-garde city?" ”
James, said, "30,000." ”
Great, now we have increased the number of troops from 10,000 to 40,000, which is a very smooth start.
I asked, "How many soldiers and horses do you need to defend the avant-garde city?" ”
James said, "This city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only 10,000 soldiers and horses are needed to withstand an army of 50,000. ”
Immediately, James suggested: "Your Majesty's body is inconvenient to move with the army, so it is better to set up the avant-garde city as a palace for the time being, leave 20,000 soldiers and horses to guard it, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses to go to the royal capital." ”
"This ......," Andrew said again.
I said to Andrew, "It doesn't hurt if the general has anything to say. ”
It's also strange, except for Liya and me here, Andrew is the biggest official, what else does he dare not say?
I only heard Andrew say: "20,000 soldiers and horses are probably not enough. ”
I asked, "Not enough for what?" ”
The one who stayed behind was 20,000, and the one who went out of the city was also 20,000, which one was not enough?
He probably just noticed that he didn't speak clearly enough, and he was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and said:
"With only 20,000 soldiers and horses, I'm afraid I can't beat the royal capital."
Linghuan also said: "The general is right, since MiG has occupied the royal capital, the defenders of the royal capital must be more than 20,000, according to me, even if there are 200,000 troops stationed there at this time, it is not an exaggeration." ”
Two hundred thousand?!
So much?
It seems that I underestimated the number of troops in the kingdom and underestimated the power of the MiGs. At first, I thought that we had an army of 10,000 people here and that we were already a very strong army, but I didn't expect it to be so small.
Although I was shocked in my heart, I couldn't show it on my face.
I said, "Since the royal capital has already stationed so many soldiers and horses, with our current strength, we are only hitting stones with eggs. It's better to go to other towns and gather other teams first. ”
James said: "My lord, although we are temporarily short of troops, we have you, Lord Hero, as long as you are there, even if MiG really stationed 200,000 troops in the palace, it must not be impossible to fight." ”
Isn't it impossible to fight? He thinks too highly of me, doesn't he?
Although heroes are more powerful than ordinary people, I don't know how many times, but I want to deal with an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000 alone?
What international jokes? I'm tired and tired.
I looked at James and smiled, "Lord James is really joking, although I am a hero, I am still a human being, not a god. ”
James smiled wryly, but did not answer.
Andrew said: "The subordinates also believe that they should take the other cities first, and then launch a final general attack on the royal capital when the army is strong. ”
James took out a map of the kingdom, opened it, and placed it on the banquet table, and said:
"The two adults have a reasonable analysis, but their subordinates are stupid. It is better to leave 20,000 soldiers and horses to defend the palace, and the remaining 20,000 soldiers and horses to go out of the city to attack the highland city. Highland City is the closest city to it, and as far as I know, there are 50,000 garrisons there. With the strength of the adult hero and 20,000 soldiers and horses, it should be easy to attack. ”
I looked at Andrew and Phantom and asked, "What do the two generals think?" ”
Andrew said, "Lord James has a point. ”
Linghuan also said: "The city of the highlands is indeed the closest, and there are not too many garrisons, but we only send 20,000 soldiers and horses, I don't know if it is enough." ”
James said, "Phantom General, it seems that you don't understand the power of the hero......"
"That's not what I meant......" Psychic interrupted him, but I interrupted Psychic again.
I said, "The Phantom General should know more about my power than the Castle Master. ”
With that, I looked at the spirit and nodded, showing my understanding of her.
Then, I said, "I don't care if 20,000 is enough." Although His Majesty is a golden body, he also has very strong power. What's more, now is an extraordinary time, and extraordinary times should be done extraordinarily, in my world, there has never been a shortage of royal conquests, I don't know if there has been such a precedent here. ”
Without letting everyone answer, I said again about the advantage of the royal driver, and finally said:
"Therefore, we don't need to leave 20,000 soldiers and horses, we only need to leave 5,000 soldiers and horses to defend the city."
"Okay, then." James eventually agreed.
After further discussion of other issues, we returned to the garrison, during which time James strongly suggested that we stay in the Lord's Mansion, but I refused.
It is better for the commander of the army to be with the soldiers, and if anything happens, he can know as soon as possible.
Both Psychic and Andrew agreed with this, and also rejected James's invitation. Liya couldn't leave me for the time being, so she also returned to the barracks with me, next to my tent.
Being alone in a tent at night, I can't help but think that this world is really troublesome. Originally, I came to be a hero to destroy the evil forces, but then I found out that the zombies, and the zombies have not been wiped out, and now the king is dead, the kingdom is divided, and I have become some kind of generalissimo.
What a bullshit world, so many things!
If I had been given a choice, I probably wouldn't have chosen to cross over, so I might as well study hard in school. Not long after I arrived at the university, I heard a lot of brothers and sisters say that college life is a heavenly life, whether you go to class or not, you can basically rely on self-study, as long as you don't violate laws and regulations, you can graduate successfully after completing the credits, and you don't care if you play games or what are you doing during the period.
However, if you don't cross here, you won't meet Liya.
And what the vicious dog said, is it true? Am I really from this world? So how did I grow on Earth again?
Forget it, it doesn't make much sense to think about this now, it's better to rest early.
After lying down, I tossed and turned, and for some reason I just couldn't sleep!
Maybe it's too much to worry about.
The lord of James promised to hand over the army early tomorrow morning, and by then there would be 40,000 troops. It seems that James was also a jealous and loyal man to the country, and when he learned that we were coming to the avant-garde city, he brought people to meet us at the city gate.
By the way, at the gates, James called King Ute the first king, and he probably didn't know that Ria had already been king. Should we change our name to the first king before the new king is established?
I don't know if this is the case in ancient times, maybe I'm too short-sighted.
No, assuming that Fanny is also king, and James is already a MiG, then it is logical for him to call King Ute the first king.
Also, during the discussion in the evening, he strongly advocated the division of troops, and even asked me to act separately from Liya, and even suggested that I only bring 20,000 soldiers and horses to attack the royal capital, which may have 200,000 troops stationed?
Why do you think that the more you think James is suspicious?
He can't really be a MiG, right?
"Who?!" A coquettish voice came, and the voice should be Koharu's.
Immediately afterwards, a series of "jingling" sounds of gold and iron came from outside the tent on the side, and the tent next to it lived Liya.
