Chapter 161: Nothing can be done

The flag is like a curtain, and the spear is like a forest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info's soldiers clasped them in neat steps towards the camp outside Kamplin. Looking at these reinforcements sent by the Lucia Kingdom, Barrett suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. The resources directly used by the other side have completely wiped out the previous efforts of the Boreham Cavalry Regiment, and no amount of gains will help the situation.

After carefully returning to the temporary station under the cover of illusion, Barrett's face was always bad. As soon as Knight Bapti saw Barrett's expression, he immediately understood what was happening: "It seems that Camplin City can't be saved." ”

"Yes! Lucia sent reinforcements. I took a cursory look and there were at least 2,000 of those guys. Barrett wasn't frustrated, but he wasn't in a good mood.

"2,000 reinforcements? If they were all elite troops, Camplin City would indeed be in danger. Even if it wasn't, it would be enough to make up for all the damage we had previously caused. "The Bapti Knight understands Barrett's feelings, and anyone who sees his days of hard work go down the drain like this.

Don't think 2,000 people is a small number. If it is a professional soldier who is completely out of work in 2000, in a battle of the level of Camplin City, he can completely play a role in turning the tide of the battle. Even in larger battles, a reserve of 2,000 men could be a key bargaining chip.

Barrett couldn't help but ask, "It's been so long, and there hasn't been any action on the part of the Cruze Kingdom?" Are those guys going to watch their city fall to the Lucians? ”

"At least according to my current understanding, the Cruze Kingdom has no intention of doing so. At the very least, they don't act like they have the intention of doing so. Speaking of this, the Bapti knight chuckled dryly, "Of course, if those Cruze guys can hide from us when they prepare." Then this time the situation is really stable. ”

There are often a series of signs when an army goes out, and even if the army itself is hidden in a valley, its marginal impact will also be visible to passers-by. Not to mention anything else, the food price caused by the 'soldiers and horses moving first' cannot hide the eyes of those intelligence officers.

Moreover, if you want to lift the siege of Camprin, you will need a lot of troops. In fact, due to the poor quality of their own soldiers, the Cruze side often needed to send more men to be able to win in the field. Even if it was able to rely on Camplin City this time, it would not be much less.

Now that the Bapti knight hadn't even heard the slightest rumor, the situation was naturally going in the direction that Barrett least wanted to see.

"They just let Camplin City fall into the hands of the enemy?" Sure that the last hope was also lost, Barrett made this sound through gritted teeth.

And the knight of Bapti sighed: "Camplin City is not a strategic location. They probably weren't prepared to invest too many resources here. Maybe I don't think it's worth the price! ”

Although many soldiers uphold the belief that 'people survive and land is lost, people and land are saved; People lose their land and survive, and people and land are lost'. But politicians often have areas that they can't give up and have to order to defend - because some cities, if they fall, the impact on the people's hearts and minds is too great. At that time, the negative impact of people's hearts and minds may even outweigh the cost of holding on to the region.

However, it is a pity that the small place of Camprin, which has not produced any well-known events in history, is not enough to be included in the kind of critical areas that must be strictly guarded. Therefore, neither the military nor the bureaucracy gave up on him without psychological pressure. The only ones who suffer are the residents of the city who are still resisting and waiting for rescue.

"Then we can only contact our people in the city. Wait until the city is broken to meet them who have broken through. Anyway, even the Cruze themselves don't care about the city, so we don't have to fight for them. Now that he knew that he couldn't keep Camplin City, Barrett naturally turned his attention to his own people who were trapped in the city.

Knight Bapti smiled: "You can rest assured of this. We've all been here for so long, how can we forget this path? But the battle with the Lucians must continue, lest they discover something. ”

Now that the chief has a full plan, Barrett naturally only needs to do what he is told. For the next few days, Barrett spent the next few days leading his cavalry in the wilderness near the city of Camprin, making trouble for Lucia's army.

Over the next few days, the two sides fought back and forth in several areas outside the city. However, in order to preserve his strength as much as possible, Barrett never dared to rush too fiercely. But there was also the need to put pressure on the Lucians, and it took him a lot of effort to get to grip it.

At the same time, in Camplin City, players who have been struggling for days also gather to talk about their next plans. Reelly, who is the interim captain, said after Noodle confirmed that there were no suspicious people around, "I just contacted Barrett, and he said that Camplin City couldn't hold this time. We should be prepared to break out as well as possible, and when the time comes, we will go with the caravan men, and his cavalry regiment will meet as much as possible outside. ”

"Can't hold it! I feel this even if the captain doesn't say it. Those Lucia guys are like people who can't be used...... "I don't know if this time of baptism has made the dwarf confident enough, and he is much more motivated to participate in the meeting than he was at the beginning."

Of course, the reason why Anvil is able to say this sentence now is also inseparable from his battle on the front line. Because he was on the front line, he was always able to face the Lucian soldiers besieging the city most directly, so he could sense the changes between the enemy and the enemy more than anyone else.

As the siege grew, so did the odds. Although the long-term attack and cavalry harassment put a lot of pressure on Lucia's army, the situation in the city of Camprin, which had been cut off from external communication, was even worse.

Of course, in this world with supernatural abilities, it is only the underlying connection that is broken. The middle and upper echelons often have their own special channels, otherwise the Bapti knights would not be able to contact the caravans in the city. But the disappearance of the underlying channels alone is enough to make the people in the city panic.

Because the civilians at the bottom are the largest group in the city, the news of the closure will give them an emotion that borders on the fear of the unknown. Some of the guys at the top are blocking the news, and some are completely arrogant and didn't channel them in time. As a result, rumors flew all over the Great Wall, and the mood of the people became unstable.

At the same time, because the city is besieged, internal and external traffic is blocked. All kinds of daily necessities from outside the city have also disappeared, which also affects the lives of residents in the city from another angle. Camplain is not a fully consumer city, but it relies on trade for most of its daily necessities - one of the main sources of cash for the towns and villages.

Thankfully, the inhabitants of the Western Continent in this era often had the habit of storing food at home. Although those small citizens have long been accustomed to going to the bakery to buy staple foods, instead of spending a lot of time and energy on baking themselves. But the grains in the kitchen sack still have an irreplaceable role – for example, in cooking porridge.

It is precisely because every household has enough food to eat for a short time, and because Camplin City has been filling in the empty warehouse since the opening of the station, so far Camplin City can still meet the basic survival needs of everyone.

But from another point of view, everyone is dissatisfied with the current situation. There is still a big gap between the basic survival needs and the basic living needs. What's more, if you nibble on bread every day without side dishes, most people can't stand it for a long time. After being blocked, the materials that did not have a long shelf life suddenly fell into a situation of being out of stock.

The lack of material supplies and mental uneasiness immediately affected the mood of the residents of Camprin. Although the guy from the anvil didn't have much chance of contact with the ordinary residents, the people who came to the city wall to deal with the aftermath still showed this change in the city on their faces.

Not to mention that as the battle progressed, there were fewer and fewer soldiers in the city who could still carry swords to kill the enemy. However, the siege intensity of Lucia's side did not decrease much. The anvil, which had to fight with the Lucians, was naturally the most realistic.

"But if we're going to be ready to break out, then we're afraid we really have a lot of work to do." Kleimatis gritted his fingers with his teeth. Of course, there is another sentence she didn't say is that since Camplin City is about to be breached, the promise made by the defenders at the beginning will not be fulfilled.

As the priest of the 'Goddess of Wealth and Commerce', it is a very cruel thing for Clematis to watch the money that should have been in his hands fly away from his eyes like this. Of course, she was right, it was never easy to break through after breaking through the city.

If the current situation of the players is in Suffering Mode, they will fall into Hell Mode when the city is breached. You must know that after the city wall is breached, it will often turn to street fighting as soon as possible. And in history, there are only a handful of examples of the defending side winning by relying on street battles.

As for breaking out before breaking through the city? Don't forget that the Lords of Boreham are not on your own land. Not to mention the rest, it is not an easy time for them to get people to open the gates. And it is clear that the inhabitants and bureaucrats of Camplin City will not let this main force leave at will. When the time comes, the contradictions between the two sides will intensify and they will die faster.

"I'm going to be hoarding as many area effect scrolls as I can in the next few days, and Klematis, you can see if you can squeeze some more oil and water out of the temples in the city." Rielly, who seemed to remember something after saying this, specifically reminded, "If you don't have enough money, let the town hall pay part of the payment first." Let's just say that there is no money to purchase spellcasting supplies now. ”

"Alright! I'll give it a try, but I'm not sure I'll succeed. Who doesn't know that those town hall guys are misers. "Clematis clearly doesn't have too much hope for Rieli's idea.

Rielie had already been mentally prepared for this: "Just do your best." This is only as a supplement. At the beginning, I broke through the enemy's blockade line in an explosive way, and I mainly relied on it. ”

"When the time comes, I will specifically snipe the Lucian junior officers to create enough chaos for the breakout operation. Anyway, there are several arrows to break the enemy, so let those Lucia barbarians know that this time it is powerful! The halfling wanderer also showed his attitude at this time.

―――――― make up tomorrow――――――
