Chapter 898: The Soldiers of the Headquarters
So in the next few days, although after Duke Mednaqi's army of more than 100,000 people came over, Li Ran's side was already at a disadvantage in terms of troops, but because of the replenishment of some troops, except for a few prisoners, especially those who came with the city lord's family, most of them were the real elites of their city, so Li Ran and the city lords still had some confidence in defending this place in a short time.

Sure enough, after successfully preventing the opponent's two tentative attacks, the city lords here only hope that the reinforcements of the Marquis of Pamela and the Marquis of Nicararo will arrive as soon as possible, otherwise they may be in danger after the other army of the other party comes.
As for what Li Ran said before, they didn't take it too seriously to send troops from their own city to rescue, after all, it was after a fruitless battle, and they were in anger, and in their thoughts, this time this lord brought the most elite soldiers, reaching more than 100,000 people, even if there were still some soldiers in the city, those who removed the defense, there were not many who could really be sent, so in the end, it was up to the other two marquises.
According to these city lords, as long as the two marquis of Pamela and Nicararo can form a legion of more than 100,000 people, and they have a powerful commander under the command of the Marquis of Terris, they have every hope of defending this place.
The Duke of Maidnach had come from afar, and his baggage and troops could not withstand the attrition of months in the field, and it was believed that they would soon retreat, and then they would be able to settle accounts with the lord who had ruined their city.
But they never expected that two days later, there was a news from the capital that made them completely desperate, the legion formed by the two Marquis of Nicararo and Pamela had just gone out, and was ambushed by the army of Duke Noor, and now after the defeat, they were forced to retreat to the city of Marquis of Nigaro, and Duke Noll also surrounded it, and now the situation is very unpleasant, and in the case of their own insecurity, they have no energy to send troops to support them.
This was undoubtedly bad news for the besieged Elissimo and the city lords, with their current strength, it was barely enough to cope with the current situation, and if another large army of Mednaqi came, I am afraid that the city would be destroyed.
At this time, they no longer have the energy to scold the Duke of Knorr, and the other party made it clear that they wanted to take advantage of the juncture of the military and political chief Thortaylor's loss of power to cooperate to exterminate their side of the force, and they only blamed themselves for not expecting these two giants to conspire and miss some of the opportunities ahead.
"Okay, you must also know our current situation" At this time in the conference hall, Marquis Elisimo looked at the city lords and said: "This time it seems that we have completely failed, but fortunately, under the leadership of Marquis Terris, now the passage outside the city has been opened, if you want to leave, I will be responsible for sending troops to protect you from leaving, as for the kindness you came to the rescue, I'm afraid I can only owe it"
Hearing this marquis say this, all the city lords present at this time couldn't help but feel a little concerned, and some people couldn't help asking, "Lord Marquis, aren't you ready to leave?" ”
Elisimo sighed and said: "I was born in this city, it has been decades, I don't want to leave, after you leave, I will try my best to hold back the main force of the other party, if I can, I hope you can help me avenge this in the future"
After a long silence, Count Giordano opened his mouth and persuaded: "Marquis Nicarano has not been defeated yet, you don't need to be so sad, it's a big deal that we can break through together, go to Marquis Terres and Lord Rebodo for a while, once Lord Nigar and Marquis Pamela defeat Duke Knorr, we have a chance to turn over, even if this is the case now, we can fight back in the future."
Hearing this say this, the other city lords couldn't help but say yes again and again, to be honest, they are also very at a loss now, even if they have the protection of Lord Eliximo, what can they do if they break out, the city is occupied, and there are not many troops left in their hands, if they stay in their own country, sooner or later they will be wiped out, as for other countries, it is also possible, but not to mention the difficulties, it is still unknown whether people can accept you when they really get there.
But when they saw Eliximo's expression, they were disappointed again, for the Duke of Knorr, who had always been a bit unfathomable, even if he dared to cooperate with the Duke of Mednaci, raised an army and besieged the city of the Marquis of Nigaro, then nine times out of ten it was also a chance to win, how could he give them a chance to turn the tables.
But at this moment, when all the city lords felt a kind of complete despair, Li Ran suddenly stood up and said: "At the moment of life and death, everyone should not be so low and affect morale, my troops in my own city have already gone out, and after they fight with the large army of Mednaqi outside, then everyone will decide whether to leave or not, if it really doesn't work, then we will go to other countries together, so that there will be a response on the way."
Hearing Li Ran say this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up, I have to say that after these few major battles, this person's command ability and personality have also allowed these city lords to completely get rid of the previous influence on this new marquis, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is now the soul of his own side, and even after losing the city, Giodano and a viscount have also said that they want to go to him to be an adjutant in the future.
Thinking that if they were with this person when they fled, everyone couldn't help but feel a little spirited, with such an adult with strong command ability, they would have the confidence to re-establish a home of their own no matter where they went.
And when he heard that his army in the city had been desperately looking for the army of the Duke of Mednaqi, everyone was also a little emotional and admired, especially the Marquis of Eliximo, who stood up and saluted Li Ran solemnly at this time.
Because he was still in charge of command here, Li Ran began a routine inspection after sending Xia Houben away with air cavalry, and at the same time sent several reconnaissance detachments to conduct a more detailed investigation around the Madenaqi army outside the city.
After suffering two more siege blows from Mednaqi, the time was fixed on this afternoon a week later, and the Barranca air cavalry sent information, which was personally ordered by Li Ran! The army led by Xia Houben and Shadow Blade defeated the Duke of Mednaqi's army of nearly 130,000 men in a valley four hundred miles to the north, killing 40,000 enemies and taking more than 50,000 prisoners.
