Chapter 57: Angelina

"Old Ivan, how did the Marquis of Larcia build such a fortress city? I remember that it was less than 20 years since the province of Zhivadin belonged to the Kingdom of Vegia! Han Ji said with a sigh as he looked at the huge stone walls.

"City of Freedom, Chanda." Old Ivan pointed to the boulder walls and said to Han Ji: "Most of these boulders were demolished from Chanda City, and the Nords destroyed it, but only these stones remained. ”

"I see! I wonder why I didn't see the remains of the city of freedom and mercenaries, which had been reborn in another way. Only then did Han Ji discover that there were traces of flames burning on the boulders of those city walls.

"Arthur, Zilong, how many troops do you think such a fortress will need to attack?" Han Ji looked at the tall lookout towers and the thick city walls and asked softly.

"Your Excellency, with the ability of the army of the Kingdom of Virginia to defend the city, such a fortress will be difficult to capture without suitable siege equipment, without five times the strength of the defenders." Arthur had a high opinion of Fort Radogir as a difficult fortress to overcome.

"Lord, I'm afraid it's not easy to attack such a fortress." Zhao Yun has been carefully observing the terrain and management around Fort Radogir, "If the only weakness of the city is probably the water source. ”

"Lord, you see, it is the largest water source nearby, but unfortunately it is outside the city, if the enemy besieges the city and cuts off the water source, with the location of the city, there must not be a lot of groundwater for the city to use, and after a long time, there must be a lack of water in the city." Zhao Yun said, pointing to a stream that flowed under the hillside.

"Most of the castles on the high ground have such drawbacks, presumably there must be a large amount of water stored in the city, and it is difficult to see results in a short period of time." Han Ji also knows this problem.

"Unless the Kingdom of Virginia abandons this fortress, it will be enough to sustain until reinforcements arrive!" Han Ji did not think that the Kingdom of Virgia would sit idly by and watch the fall of Fort Radogil.

"Haha, boy, don't be delusional, Radogir Fort is not something you should think about! What the Nords have not been able to do, you don't have to think about. Old Ivan watched Han Ji and them seriously discuss the method of breaking through Radogir Fort, and couldn't help but say funny.

"Oh, old Ivan, don't draw conclusions too early, Fort Radogir is not impregnable!" Han Ji thought of the siege equipment large stone thrower, if dozens of them were placed, with the range and destructive power of the trebuchet, it would be guaranteed that the people in the city would have to go out of the city to face the battle.

While Han Ji was talking to old Ivan, Carena finally came back, "Sir, Lord Marquis has promised to meet you, please come with me!" ”

After getting permission, Han Ji and the others finally entered the fortress castle, entering through the road in the middle of the city gate, and the two sides happened to be the training grounds in the city, and Han Ji was fortunate to witness the daily training of the soldiers of Fort Radogil.

"Come on, kill them!" There was a fierce battle on the training ground on the left, and two troops wearing different colors of practice armor were screaming at each other with wooden weapons and shields.

"Rush! Hack them to death! The personnel of both sides, led by their respective officers, passionately engaged in a fierce battle with each other.

The two sides of the battle fought really fiercely and realistically, Han Ji saw a warrior with a two-handed axe chopping down with an axe, smashing the opponent's shield entirely, and the axe hit the opponent's practice armor fiercely, knocking the opponent to the ground, if it weren't for the fact that the weapon in their hands was a wooden practice weapon, Han Ji believed that the scene would have been bleeding a river.

This is the most common combat drill used by the Kingdom of Vigia to train the army, and the intensive training of the Vigia army focuses on the combat skills of the warriors, followed by the formation of queues and group cooperation.

The way most of the Vigia infantry fought was not to talk to me about tactical formations or anything, it didn't matter, my style was to pick up my weapons and rush up.

Many lords have a headache for this, but fortunately, the archers of the Virginia Kingdom are good at shooting in line to play with the rain of arrows, Han Ji saw rows of Virginia archers standing in front of the training target, with an order, nearly a hundred archers quickly shot out an overwhelming rain of arrows one arrow after another, and the sizzling sound of breaking the air was connected and roared towards the target, and the target target and the surrounding open space were quickly filled with dense clusters of arrows.

"It's really a terrifying rain of arrows" Han Ji remembered that the same was true of the rain of arrows of the Snow Plains bandits, but they used second-class strong bows, while Vegia's archers used third- and fourth-rank strong bows, and the difference in power was too great.

The sound of horse hooves running attracted Han Ji's attention, Han Ji looked up, and saw two cavalrymen charging towards each other with wooden moon-bladed axes, Han Ji lost interest on the spot, the cavalry of the Virginia Kingdom is a good hand at dealing with infantry, and it is far worse to deal with cavalry, it is the cavalry unit at the bottom of the same rank, it can only be said that it is better than nothing.

"Sir, please come in with me, Lord Marquis is ready to meet you in the study on the second floor." Kalena led them to the main body of the fortress castle, a red-roofed vaulted castle in the Byzantine style.

"Mr. Kalena, I have prepared a gift for the Marquis, and I hope you will find some people to move them in, and I want to give them to the Marquis of Ralcia in person." Han Ji pointed to the carriage he had brought and said to Callina.

"Okay sir, I'll take care of it." Kalena looked at the carriage and nodded.

Under the leadership of Carlena, Han Ji entered from the main entrance of the castle and entered the vast banquet hall on the first floor, on the left side of the hall were several semi-open rooms, and on the right side was also arranged into a small meeting room.

"Dad, why are you here!" A girl dressed in a maid's costume walked up to Ivan and said in surprise.

Han Ji looked at the girl in front of him who was suspected to be the daughter of old Ivan, and silently praised it in his heart, blonde hair and blue eyes, delicate facial features, white and tender skin, tall and long legs, an absolutely outstanding beauty.

"My darling! Yelena, it's been a long time since I've seen you! Old Ivan stepped forward and hugged the girl and said excitedly.

"Dad, didn't I just go home last month? Where there is a long time. The girl rolled her eyes helplessly and said to old Ivan.

"Dad, let go of me, Sister Angelina is here." Elena whispered to old Ivan.

"Uncle Ivan, you're here." A beautiful woman wearing a silk high-necked lace aristocratic dress stepped forward.

Her brown hair with a slight natural curl, with a ribbon behind her back, carries an elegant and intellectual temperament, which is unforgettable at first sight.
