29. Feed the war with war

At this moment, the army of Lord Renault Caslin was approaching from the bone city of Ritter and the city of Aziz in three ways, and the main force was close to the west of the Laneige Valley, all the way to the north. The defense of those small cities and towns along the way could not stop the advance of King Lin's army at all, especially the inexplicable tragic death of the magician warriors defending the city made the defenders in the surrounding cities tremble.

The news coming back at this moment made King Renault Carsny tremble more and more. Azi City, Bone City, Tang City, and the small cities near the three main cities were all breached, and King Lin's expeditionary army came straight to the royal capital.

And at this moment, his own Third Corps, which he had increased in strength, was constantly disturbing the supply route of King Lin's expeditionary force. But the damage is really not small, more than 30,000 corps were sent out, and in the half-month roundabout war, nearly half of the losses were lost, this is an elite army, although the number of magicians is about one to one, but it is also his most elite strength. Not counting the nearly five thousand wounded, they had to leave the battlefield at this moment, otherwise all those wounded would be harvested by King Lin.

When King Lin's army left Ritter City, it totaled about 120,000 troops, except for his strongest elite 20,000 horses. Nearly 80,000 of them are his combat troops, and nearly 20,000 are in charge of logistics. And so far in the battle, the logistics troops of King Lin's army have nearly 15,000 dead, and the regular troops have lost less than 30,000 people, and the speed of supply at this moment is even faster.

King Reno's Cassny saw from the information he had gotten that King Lin's army was very powerful, and although he didn't find his elite troops, these regular troops were also terrifyingly high in morale, fearless of death, and every battle was a must-win battle.

In the army of King Lin, there are also a large number of healers and priests. With these healer priests, the morale of the soldiers of their army is overwhelming, and as long as people don't die, they will soon be able to get up and fight again. Although such a rapid healing technique has such and such disadvantages and sequelae, it cannot stand the effect quickly and effectively.

And on the battlefield, the speed of recovery of these wounded soldiers has a great impact on morale.

Lord Lin's army rushed all the way through Ark City, and then continued all the way north to Fez. At this moment, Renault Cassny was a little annoyed, and he already knew in his heart that the War Emperor Poole and Xi Tai Bosheng had already been locked up, otherwise they would have rushed back to the rescue, at this moment he obviously felt a trace of exhaustion, and the hair on both temples began to turn white, and it was really he who underestimated the enemy.

If he had joined forces with the Golden Family of the Thesby Empire earlier, and agreed to their conditions, the northwest would have attacked and killed King Lin would not have fallen into the passivity at this moment, he actually tried to use the army formed by the Third Corps to attack and harass a group of battle-fighting divisions, which was simply hitting a stone with an egg.

The Desby Gold Family, which has already negotiated, has already sent a large army, but the speed is still not fast enough, according to their marching speed, these thousands of miles of road, it is not bad to be able to reach it within a month.

At this moment, the Second Corps and the remaining men and horses of the Third Corps have already been stationed in Fez City, a total of 70,000 troops, but can they really stop this guy Lin Wangjue? As long as Fez City explains, King Lin's army can drive straight into the city of Muyin, the royal capital, and as long as the siege does not last for three months, the royal capital will be defeated.

So it's not enough to just protect the king, but at this moment, King Renault Castle is now unable to personally lead a large army to meet King Lin, and he believes that even if he wins, the result will be very bad, and he will be cut off by the army sent by Desby at this moment, but if he really fights with Lin Zaiwangdu, there is a high probability that he will still lose.

King Renault Cassny still has the first corps in his hand at the moment, and he is still outside the royal capital, so the living force has already been exhausted after the cities have been breached, and the first corps still needs to guard the royal capital at this moment. The other 70,000 men had already been sent to Fez, plus the 150,000 reserve miscellaneous troops that could be mobilized, the total was only 220,000. Renault Cassny, who was originally full of confidence, already knew at this moment that it was impossible to stop the pace of King Lin's army in the battle to defend the city with just these horses, after all, Fez City was originally uncomfortable, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the enemy army only needed to attack the mountain, and then they could use powerful magic at will, magic catapults, and drive straight into the city.

Outside the city of Fez, the Second Corps was already lying in ambush on the side of the mountain road, waiting for King Lin's army to pass by.

However, King Lin's army was divided into two roads, not taking the main road, but to make a detour to advance, and soon the spies of the second corps found King Lin's troops and horses, the commander of this corps thought deeply for a while, and exchanged opinions with a group of subordinates, and then decided to carry out an ambush here.

The commanders of the second corps are all second-order warriors, brave in rushing and killing, miraculously not injured until now, and the five of them still carry a kind of magic weapon alchemy crossbow on their bodies.

This magic magic weapon alchemy crossbow has good penetrating power, with fire magic damage, and it can be self-locked, not to mention how convenient it is to use, but if it is against the same level, it seems that the effect is like chicken ribs, and if you kill that kind of ordinary soldier, it is really overwhelming.

But because of those priests and healers on King Lin's side, as long as the soldiers who don't die immediately, they can almost be saved, although the sequelae are very big, but there is no way to manage so much on the battlefield.

After the two battles, each had damage, and King Lin's army had a large number of low-level magicians, which made the second legion, and the casualties showed a terrifying trend.

"General, they're coming!" a spy arrived on a warhorse and burrowed into the ambush by the side of the road.

"Ready!" the general of the Second Legion gave the order at this moment, everyone stopped what they were doing, and the magicians began to bless themselves with magic, and also began to perform offensive magic. The other soldiers began to straighten their armor, carry their quivers, tighten their boots, pick up their bows and arrows, and wind them up to aim.

After all, it is the regular army of King Ni, and the psychological quality of these soldiers is still excellent, even if the recent losses are serious, it has not affected their belief in the slightest, after all, the royal capital behind the city of Fez behind them and their families live there.

And this salvo was just to block the speed of the advance of King Lin's army.

In the distance, there was the sound of horses' hooves, the sound was deafening, the momentum was huge, and from afar, tens of thousands of war horses galloped at the same time, and the rumbling loud sound was as terrifying as lightning and thunder in the sky.

This time, King Lin only brought his elites, and the loss of the army's war horses was extremely amazing, because of the high speed, many war horses were tired to death. However, after conquering the three central cities of Azi City, Bone City, and Tang City, they completely made up for the loss.

After replenishing the war horses and resting a little, he continued to advance, and lost a lot of war horses in the confrontation with the third army.

But even so, this huge army is advancing at lightning speed. Such a mixed army, with cavalry and mage attacks as a prelude, and infantry and warriors to sweep the tail, of course, thanks to the archdemon Ferres, after killing all the best of the mage warriors near the three central cities, they were even more powerful.

Of course, these people have only one goal, the city of Muyin, the royal capital. King Lin's order was simple, he wanted to avenge his brothers, Renault Caszin and Lichel, and kill the mediocre king.

At this moment, when the general saw that there were still a large number of enemies on the other side, and that the number of enemies was several times greater than his own, he immediately made a decision and ordered a retreat.

The archers were not fast in their fire, so they had to retreat and let the broken ones use magic or bows and arrows to attack the enemy from a distance and block their further attacks.

Soon, with the assistance of the magician, the soldiers of the King of Lin quickly rushed into the enemy's ambush site, only to see that the rest of the Second Legion had already fled to Fez City on their horses. Some unhappy magicians simply unleashed several spells such as fireballs, and also let them kill some retreating enemy troops, and of course, some were dodged by some agile swordsmen.

The ambush of King Ni's second corps only caused a little painless damage to King Lin's army, and ended in defeat with heavy losses on his side, and the city of Fes was already in danger at this moment. and almost let the other side encircle and suppress the Second Corps.

King Reno's second army was very lucky, and of course they fled fast enough, otherwise they would have been wiped out by the time they were surrounded by two troops.

After that, King Lin's army did not hinder at all, and all the way to the north, most of the towns that could pass through at this moment had already been burned by the retreating army to stop King Lin's supplies.

Of course, there will also be some pretending to surrender, and then waiting for the army to relax, the stubborn resistance of the town, also caused the army of King Lin to lose a little soldiers, but when the crazy soldiers who had already killed the red eyes began to raise their broadswords to slaughter, it instantly became a dead town. After the madness began, and after the red-eyed soldiers slaughtered several more towns, the residents of the small towns behind them, whether they were residents who had already settled down or merchants who ran businesses, hurriedly retreated with Xiaosoft.

When he already sensed that something was wrong with the soldiers, King Lin immediately ordered that innocents should not be killed indiscriminately, and at the same time, let the magicians and priests release sober spirits so that their own soldiers would not go crazy. Sure enough, the tragedy of the war is incomparable.

King Lin's army began to pursue the Second Corps, all the way north, in the direction of Fez. On the way, the Second Corps was very decisive and asked the rear army to burn all the towns that could garrison them, leaving not a single grain behind, and also turned all the towns within this more than 1,000 miles into a scorched earth, and King Lin got nothing.

In this way, it also slowed down the pace of King Lin's army. After all, King Lin's army, the amount of consumption every day is too huge, and the consumption of each day depends on the materials he carries, and at this moment, it is no longer feasible to fight and support the war, and he can only continue to move forward by waiting for the supply team behind to keep up.

And by the time King Lin's army could keep up, the army of the Golden Family of the Deesby Empire had already arrived at Puth City, and joined up with King Ni's second and third armies and a number of reserve armies.

At this moment, more than a dozen magic forts have already been erected on the wall of Fez, and dozens of trebuchets have already smashed several mountains in front of them, waiting for the frontal attack of King Lin.

At this moment, King Lin's lightning offensive was stopped, and he began to set up camp, and the two armies began to confront each other at the city of Fez.

The strange thing is that the Empire of Agoulas and the Bytine Empire are exceptionally silent, which seems to be a little unusual and unreasonable.
