Chapter 44 The inside should be combined with the outside

The current situation of Shariz is very bad, Raphael's troops are less than 10,000 people, the walls have collapsed and have not yet been repaired, supplies are limited, and the population does not support them. In other words www.biquge.info the populace was more supportive of the Vigian army outside the city to eliminate the Nords who had "invaded" them.

Fergus's army received all kinds of support from the people, whether it was intelligence or manpower and material resources. Fergus never imagined that one day he would be so admired and supported by the people like the Sage, and he was very happy. "The people of Shariz! Ladies of the Salander Sultanate! We will save you from the evil Nords, rest assured! Justice will prevail! ”

"Justice will prevail!" All in one.

The slogan is loud, but reality is reality, and you still have to do it! Siege needs war equipment, what to do? Although the temporarily repaired Chen wall was rudimentary, it was still no problem to defend against the archers of the Kingdom of Vegia.

The kingdom of Vegia has the best archers in the world, but there are no good infantry, they can suppress the walls, but they can't take them.

Raphael's tactics were surprisingly simple, and I hid in the fortifications to fight back. The new fortifications were fired by Manid, which was not conducive to bows and arrows, but was very beneficial to Lee's rich crossbows, which crossbowmen could shoot through the lookout, but it was difficult for Virgian archers to shoot their bows through small holes. Well, the Virgian marksman can really shoot a bow and arrow through such a small hole, but after all, there are not many Virgian marksmen, and one less dead.

Veggia's archers suppress firepower, crossbowmen's attack power is limited, and Vigian warriors can climb the city wall by ladder, but after climbing up! In close combat, Virgia's high-level fighters don't necessarily fight Nord's mid-level fighters, and there aren't many high-level fighters in Virgia, but Nord's high-level fighters do!

The battle was so eerily scorching. Vegia had an absolute numerical advantage, and after paying a terrible price, Vigea's soldiers still captured the outer wall, while Raphael directly abandoned the middle wall and retreated to the inner wall. One is because the middle wall has not been repaired, and the other is because the Vigian archers can be projectile when they climb the outer wall, and this kind of powerful archer is really powerful and helpless.

Thus ended the first day of fighting, and the Vigian army entered the city, demolished houses, built siege engines, and prepared to attack the inner city. Fergus didn't know Manid's tactics, and even if he did, he didn't have such a strong army to attack.

On the second day of the war, it was unusually cruel, and although the Virgian soldiers suppressed the inner wall with bows and arrows, the Nord soldiers on the inner wall still threw the rolling wood thunder stone on the heads of the besieging Virgian soldiers. The interior walls were completely undamaged, and the powerful walls protected the Nord soldiers from invading. Fergus needed to think of new countermeasures in order to take down the inner walls.

.

Virgian Military Tent, Grand Battalion. "General, there's a Shariz asking to see you."

"Ask him to come in." Fergus was studying the sand table, and he hoped that this Shariz man would give him good advice.

A wealthy merchant from Shariz walked into the camp and saluted respectfully. "Good day, my lord. I am a merchant in the city of Sharitz. My goods are in the middle wall, but my house is in the inner wall. You know, businessmen are profit-heavy, and there's nothing you can't buy. So I thought that if you could give me a small payment, I would release the carrier pigeons, and let my inner wall home carry the wine to the officers who defended the city of Nord. If it's just in time for your siege, I think they'll be willing to buy me some wine and get some rest. And my men will open the gates of the city and let your army into the city. ”

"Conditions, businessmen don't play false, say the price." Fergus understands the character of a businessman, and he is too lazy to talk nonsense, if he wants more, it is mostly true, he understands businessmen. If you want very little, then there is absolutely fraud! Kill!

The merchant smiled slightly, "My lord is really fast-talking!" If you take the city of Sharitz, I beg you, let me monopolize all the import and export business of the whole name, I want to be the richest merchant in the city, and of course, I will also share a part of the benefits for you, what do you think? ”

"You're asking for too much!" Fergus is very happy, this guy wants more than he thinks! People die for money, birds die for food, and that's true.

"My lord, please write me a handwritten letter as a guarantee, I am afraid that you will cross the river and tear down the bridge." A lewd smile on the merchant's face.

No treachery, no business! This is the only impression of Fergus! But he likes it, he's not afraid of real villains, he's afraid of hypocrites! "Good! That's it! ”

The businessman left after Fergus's autograph. The next morning, he went to the tent again and handed over a reply from the city. "Tomorrow at midnight, North City Gate!"

Just seven words, but it means everything! Now Fergus has an absolute advantage! He wasn't worried.

Throughout the day, Fergus launched another powerful siege offensive, mainly suppressing the fire and destroying the main city gates, but not many soldiers were sent.

That night, a large number of Virgian soldiers waited quietly outside the North City Gate, and they all looked forward to the moment when the city gate opened.

At noon, the door opened, and a group of people dressed up carefully opened the gate. The blood of the Virgian soldiers is boiling!

"Brothers, victory is at hand! Everyone, charge! Capture Raphael alive! "Fergus commanded the soldiers to storm the gates! It was as if Fergus had seen Raphael as he was captured alive.

"Oh no, the enemy army has entered the city!" There was a rush of sirens from inside the city, and then the sound of weapons clashing, cries, shouts of killing, and so on!

It's done! "Soldiers, go into town!" Fergus commanded the follow-up troops to continue into the city.

At this time, in the city, Raphael was sitting in the palace, holding a wine glass, watching the soldiers retreat, leading the Virginian soldiers to the last defensive point of the palace.

Outside the city, James's Red Reserve is rapidly clearing the sentry post, and Balzac's army is quietly invading the city, completely surrounding the Virgian army within the outer walls of Shariz City!

"How did Manid's head come up with such a bad note! I do like it, though! 150,000 melee and 50,000 archers fight melee combat, this battle is interesting! I like it! Balzac turned to face Murphy, "Murphy, you take 50,000 brothers to guard the outer wall, don't let a single Virgian crush run away!" ”

Murphy smiled, "Don't worry, boss, you can't run away!" ”

"Good! Brothers, the guys! Kill that fool of Fergus! "Balzac's monoliths are strengthened, and they rush towards the inner city first!

"Kill!" The soldiers followed closely and rushed forward.

Raphael heard shouts from the middle wall and knew that the plan had been accomplished. "Order, the whole army attack, kill!"

"Yes, Marshal!" The Nord soldiers in the inner city also began a counteroffensive.

Fergus watched as the outer wall fell, with a rock giant galloping on the right and a red-stabbed cavalry roaring past on the left, both aiming at themselves, or rather, their own heads......
