Chapter 304: Counterattack
Andorhar.
Winter was approaching, and the evening breeze was already carrying a deep chill, and the defenders on the city walls were huddled in corners sheltered from the wind.
When Song Zheng climbed to the top of the city, he looked at the soldiers who lacked winter clothes, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart.
The supplies in the city were originally relatively sufficient, but after such a long battle, coupled with a fire in the south of the city, not most of the supplies have been almost lost, and even the supply of soldiers has some problems.
However, there is nothing he can do about it, and the storage ring in his hand is too little space to carry too many supplies into the city.
He didn't cancel his stealth, but continued to quietly rush to his guild's station, and there were quite a few wounded soldiers along the way, and it seemed that during the time he was away, the undead scourge had not stopped besieging the city.
When he appeared in the guild, it immediately caused quite a stir, and Bridget and others ran to greet him happily.
"President, the last time you went into the city, you didn't even come to see us, and you left again, and after you went for so long, we were all worried about you." Lena Imbas's body seemed to have completely recovered, and she had become as bold as before, and even hugged him regardless of her identity, and her towering breasts made Song Zheng blush.
Bridget's body has also recovered a little, wearing a leather armor, but she is still wearing a black eye patch on her eyes, snuggling on the side of the stairs and looking at Song Zheng quietly, as if she wants to try her best to stay calm, but the smile on the corner of her mouth is always difficult to hide.
"How's your injury? I asked Harrison to help me bring you some holy water, did you receive it? Song Zheng walked quickly to Bridget's side and asked with concern.
"I've received it, that thing is very valuable now, I used it too much, so I asked someone to pass it on to Lord Uther, and the holy water on the battlefield can save many people." Bridget said softly.
"You...... Your body is also very important. Song Zheng said as he spoke, and hurriedly took out another bottle of holy water from the space ring and handed it to her.
"You still have holy water on you? This is still better for the wounded to use. Bridget hurriedly pushed back.
"Aren't you yourself a wounded now, you use it first, and when you get better, won't you be able to use the paladin's ability to save people?" Song Zheng said.
"But ......"
"No need to do it, this is what I brought back from Stratholm for you, you take it quickly, and it is best to use it immediately, I will have to go to His Royal Highness the Prince later, so don't let me worry anymore." Song Zheng said.
In addition to passing on the situation on the royal capital, he also had some other things to discuss with Arthas and the others.
"Hmm...... Okay, but I can't use that much by myself, so I'll give the rest to the other wounded later. Bridget's cheeks flushed a little, and she quickly lowered her head.
"Yes, Lena, help Bridget upstairs to heal, and I'll go find His Royal Highness the Prince." Song Zheng said.
When Song Zheng came out of the guild, he found that he still didn't know Arthas's current address, so he had no choice but to look for Gianna first.
When he arrived at Gianna's quarters, he learned that she had gone to the command center to discuss the defense of the city with Arthas and the other commanders.
"Is there a meeting...... That's just right. Song Zheng was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly let people take himself to the past.
With Song Zheng's current status, he was not qualified to attend such a commander's meeting at all, but when he appeared, he was immediately welcomed with great enthusiasm.
"Baron Song Zheng, you're finally back, and we're looking forward to your news every day! I don't know what the situation is like in the royal capital now? Uther, who had always been calm, also looked a little excited.
"It's okay over there in the royal capital, when I left, the undead disaster just launched a large-scale attack, but it was successfully blocked by the troops in the city led by Princess Kalia, and now those undead are repeating their old tricks, and they want to encircle the royal capital, but the undead have no ships and can't control the waterfront area in the south of the royal capital, so the encirclement is actually useless." Song Zheng replied.
The generals around them all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, and Arthas, who had always been full of nervousness, also looked a little more relaxed.
"The geographical location of the royal capital is indeed much better, but hasn't Dalaran sent troops yet?" Da Sohan's voice rang out like thunder.
Song Zheng hurriedly smiled and said: "His Majesty the King has ruled out a few envoys to urge, Lord Antonidas's reply is that the troops will be sent in a few days, it took me several days to return to Andorhar, and now maybe Dalaran's troops have reached the royal capital by water." ”
Arthas also squeezed out a smile when he heard this: "That's good, as long as Dalaran sends troops, there will be no problem for the king to hold the capital, especially when I heard that Baron Song Zheng led the troops to burn down the base of those undead in Stratholme, and destroyed a large number of meat grinders, those undead will definitely not be able to make siege equipment in a short period of time, even we can relieve a lot of pressure here, Lord Baron, this is a great credit." ”
"This is all what should be done, is it everyone's responsibility to defend Lordaeron, but I don't know what the current situation in the city is, and how many troops are still capable of fighting?" Song Zheng asked.
"The troops in the city...... There are still forty or fifty thousand, and if the situation is urgent, one hundred thousand civilians can be mobilized to help defend the city, and there should be no danger for the time being. Uther hesitated for a moment before saying.
"Oh...... If you cooperate with the troops outside the city to attack, I wonder if you will be able to break through? ”
"Breakout? Could it be that reinforcements have arrived? Didn't you just say that Dalaran's reinforcements should be from the royal capital by water? When everyone heard the word breakthrough, they immediately stood up in surprise.
Song Zheng immediately shook his head and said: "It's not the reinforcements from Dalaran, but the troops that existed before, including a mage army led by Luo Ning, there are still three or four thousand people, and there is also a cavalry team of Lordaeron, which was originally one of the reinforcements belonging to Gatherys, with more than 10,000 people, but they were originally responsible for coming from the south, so they were not defeated by the undead, and later, seeing that the situation had deteriorated, they had been holding near the Alterac Mountains, specifically intercepting the undead troops who were trying to go south, Now that they are constantly gathering and routing, the number is close to 20,000, I have just met them before, and we are discussing whether we can take the opportunity to carry out an internal and external attack on the undead scourge besieging the city, and if they can inflict heavy damage on the undead troops, they may be able to take the opportunity to break through and enter the mountains and forests in the south. ”
"There are more than 20,000 troops outside the city? If they have good combat effectiveness, they may really be able to fight the undead, and it seems that the elite of those undead has been much less recently, and it is likely that their logistics are no longer available, plus they have divided most of their troops to attack the royal capital, this is indeed an opportunity for us. Uther and the others immediately began to consider Song Zheng's suggestion.
