The next morning, Jason returned to the fortress with the griffin knight. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoCannaston City has been temporarily controlled by Kasia's soldiers, but when he flew to Cannaston City yesterday, the situation in the city was actually very bad. Because Lakaden transferred all the troops in the city, the unusual behavior caused unease among the residents of the city, and some gangsters who were usually idle took advantage of this opportunity to do evil everywhere. Fortunately, Jason led his troops to occupy the city in time, and Kate's father, Jays, contacted a group of families who had a good relationship with their Winslet family to help Jason maintain order in the city, so as not to cause a bigger riot.
However, Jason only had 700 soldiers at his disposal, so he could only arrange 100 soldiers to guard each of the four city gates, and also used 100 soldiers to occupy the city lord's mansion in Lakaden, and the remaining 200 soldiers were divided into ten teams to patrol the city and maintain law and order. With these things arranged, Jason set off early in the morning with the griffin troops to rush back. At this time, Lacarden's troops were still nearly 100 kilometers away from the fortress, and it was estimated that they would not be able to reach the vicinity of the fortress until tomorrow.
After Jason returned to the fortress, Qin Feng told him about the plan of 'capturing the thief and capturing the king first'. "Jason, do you think this is possible? With what you know about Lacarden, how can you get him to take the bait? ”
"This... I guess it's going to be very difficult to do. Lakaden is a timid man who will not easily put himself in danger. Jason frowned, deep in thought. Unless it's to push him into a corner, or there's a huge stake. Only in these two cases can he be tricked. ”
Qin Feng already had a plan in his heart that should be immature, and coupled with Jason's words, he felt that this plan was still possible. "Then we'll do both, and push him into a corner first."
Scarlett went to unite with Count Aix, a few days passed, and there was still no news back, Qin Feng immediately wrote a letter, sent several griffon knights to the border of Gatland to find Count Aix's troops, and then handed the letter to Scarlett who was there. In the letter, he mentioned Lakaden's current situation and his current situation, and hoped that Scarlett would reach an agreement with Count Acka as soon as possible, and was willing to give him half of the credit for the capture of Carnaston, so that Scarlett would also urge Count Ax to send troops as soon as possible to flank Lakaden's troops from behind.
The ten griffin knights set off at noon, and they did not rest at night, flying all night, and the next morning, Qin Feng's letter was handed over to Scarlett. At this time, Scarlett was also anxious, she had the channel of the Ministry of Supervision, and naturally knew about Lacardon's movements, but Count Ex's attitude has always been ambiguous, neither in a hurry to send troops, nor refusing her to put forward a joint opinion. Scarlett was shocked when she saw Qin Feng's analysis of the purpose of Rakkaden's expedition to Kassia in the letter, and hurriedly ran to find Count Aix.
Scarlett rushed directly into the Chinese tent of the Count of Aix, while the other party was eating breakfast slowly. "Lord Earl, if you don't send troops, Lakaden will run away! If Lakaden really breaks out of the encirclement, who will be powerless. When the time comes, I am afraid that you will also have to bear a lot of responsibility and infamy! ”
"Miss Scarlett, take it easy, Rakaden is at the end of his rope now, where else can he go?" Count Aix put down his knife and fork, picked up a napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly.
"I have reliable information that Rakkaden tried in vain to escape into the Elven Forest or the Alan Lagua Mountains, and when he hid in these places, how could you possibly find him? Four lords sent troops at the same time, and if you let him escape, you will become the laughing stock of everyone! Scarlett said sharply and unceremoniously.
Count Aix looked at Scarlett in amazement, and it was only then that he realized the seriousness of the problem. When Scarlett approached him the other day and told him about the kingdom's post-war distribution of territory at Carnaston, Count Aix must have been moved. The reason why he never sent troops was just to fight for more benefits after the war. But now, if Lakaden is really allowed to escape, not only will he not get any benefits, but he may also be blamed by the king.
"Miss Scarlett, is the problem really that serious? You said that Rakkaden has been sending troops for two days, and even if we rush over now, will it be too late? "Count Aix is a little flustered, this is not the result he wants.
"I have just received a secret letter from Cassia that they have sent a force to occupy the city of Carnaston after Lackaden has led his army out of the city. Viscount Allen has asked me to tell you that, on the basis of the agreements I have made with you, he will also take credit for the capture of Carnaston. I only hope that Lord Earl will send troops now, and Viscount Allen will hold the fortress and flank Lakaden with you when the time comes. ”
"Good! Viscount Allen is really a young man, with courage and bearing. If I'm prevaricating, wouldn't I be as good as a young man? I'm going to send troops right now, and I won't be delaying for a moment! Count Aix stood up and shouted out to the outside of the tent. Someone came, pass my order, and the troops immediately pulled out their camp and marched at full speed towards the city of Carnaston in half an hour! ”
And just as Scarlett persuaded Count Aix to send troops, Rakkaden led his troops to finally reach the fortress. The ramparts, less than 100 meters long, connect the two sides of the canyon and block the only access from Carnaston to Kasia. The twelve-meter-high, five-meter-wide walls were filled with crusaders and sharpshooters with crossbows. The defensive formation is very tight, but after all, the city wall is less than 100 meters long, and the maximum number of troops put into defense at one time is two or three thousand. This also means that every time Lakaden throws troops into the siege, they can only deploy in this canyon less than 100 meters wide, and his superiority in strength cannot be brought into play.
At this time, Lacarden, although he also knew that if he attacked the city, the casualties of the troops would be very huge, and if it was before, he would definitely not attack the city easily. But now, as long as he can save his life, even if he fills in all the main forces, he won't care at all. He still has four class camp cornerstones in his arms, and when he invades Kasia and plunders the resources, he will be promoted to the halberdiers.
"Charles, let's start the siege. But you don't have to go into battle yourself, just command from behind. Lacadon said lightly, a resolute expression in his calm voice. At this time, he seems to be a qualified lord. He didn't know anything about combat, and all he could count on was his only hero.
Charles glanced at Rakaden gratefully, saluted him before turning and walking towards the front.
"My lord, they're starting to move." Jason clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand and said excitedly. (To be continued.) )
