Chapter 161: Silver City
Silver City had prepared a grand welcome banquet for their support army, but of course it only looked lively, and the supplies here were so short that they couldn't even get decent drinks.
Rock Solid had come this time as the King's envoys, and with everyone having a title of nobility, they were now the nominally highest-ranking people in the fortress.
The two armies got along very well at the welcome banquet, but after facing the reality, there were endless disputes, and the Silver Valley now has 45,000 local defenders, plus 70,000 people in the royal capital, and has the confidence to defend the Silver City, but because the factions here are too complex, no one is convinced, and it is difficult to achieve unity in various decisions.
This is very helpless, these nearly 120,000 people are divided into the territory private army, the regent army, the Wielenberg army and the royal capital Janissaries, the command system is extremely chaotic, the officers of all parties stay in the command room every day is to quarrel and quarrel, except for the issue of defending this fortress is not disputed, all other decisions are inefficient.
For example, "whether to take the initiative to find the main force of the barbarians for a decisive battle", or "whether to send troops to protect the rear supply routes" and other questions, conservatives and radicals are arguing, and the local and newcomers are also arguing.
Roy, a young general with no qualifications, couldn't hold back people, and was choked by people again and again, so he had no choice but to come over and ask for advice from the rock-solid team.
As soon as Mu Lan finished meditating, she saw Roy pouring bitter water with Shi Zhengyang with a sad face, and nodded respectfully when she saw her coming.
Why is this person extremely restrained when he sees her, Mu Lan is a little strange, but she doesn't know that Roy has sent her down to earth as a goddess, for fear that she will accidentally anger the gods in the sky.
Every time the "Goddess of Life" makes a move, the situation can be turned into a safe one, and Roy, as Julian's descendant, will of course respect Mu Lan's thoughts, and when he saw that she was confused, he immediately repeated his meaning again.
"Is there a problem with the command of Silver City?" Mu Lan finally understood what he meant.
"This is all a great enemy, can any of you survive the barbarian slaughter?" Lin Yiyi sneered: "Human beings are like this, they always think about infighting. ”
Mu Lan was actually very disgusted with this kind of intrigue, and she also avoided it during her trip to the royal capital, and did not fight with Song Yu in the court, but she didn't expect this kind of thing to be interspersed throughout the copy.
"Do you have any ideas?" Shi Zhengyang looked at Mu Lan.
Mu Lan was silent and didn't speak, and Lin Yiyi said: "Lan Lan must have a plan, don't you see her so calm!" ”
"I'm not calculating all the time." Mu Lan clicked on Lin Yiyi's head, feeling a little crying and laughing, what does this stupid girl think of her, is Kong Ming alive?
"So you don't have a plan!" Lin Yiyi exclaimed: "Every time you say that I have a plan, I have the bottom, this is really rare......
"There is no plan, but there is a way." As soon as Mu Lan finished speaking, she saw Lin Yiyi breathe a sigh of relief.
"There are already more reinforcements from the royal capital than them, and there are several noble envoys, whether it is in name or from the fist, you don't have to bow to them." After Mu Lan finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Ziyu, this kid's comprehension has always been very fast, and he is not unfamiliar with these things from a big family, so he nodded immediately and agreed:
"In the face of absolute strength, intrigue and intrigue are the most inferior."
"That's right!" Lin Yiyi rubbed his hands and said: "You still have the support of the legendary mercenary group, whoever dares to disobey you will beat him!" ”
The rock-solid everyone gave Roy the truth, and he immediately became relieved, and said with a sigh of relief: "Then trouble everyone." ”
In the following time, the rock-solid four showed these army leaders what a real "iron fist" is, a local officer who yelled at Roy was beaten by Shi Zhengyang to be half-disabled, and they were not afraid of the soldiers who rushed in, Lin Yiyi An explosive arrow fell in the crowd, leaving a piece of stumps and broken arms.
The armies of the two sides were originally tense, but the soldiers of Silver City were immediately frightened by the rock-solid behavior of the storm, and no one dared to approach this legendary mercenary group with a great reputation for a while.
In troubled times, we should use heavy codes, and at critical junctures, we should concentrate power, and under the "killing of chickens and monkeys" by a few people who are as solid as a rock, the remaining officers dare not have objections.
In addition to the consideration of their own lives, these people also realized that the king had changed, the regent had already been exposed to the wilderness, and if this continued, it would give a bad impression to the future king, and the rock-solid random killing was a warning to them, and Julian was watching here.
Silver City became effective under the intervention of the iron fist, Roy was finally able to unite several forces, the Warlords from Wellenburg were once again on the move, and new ideas were spreading in the fortress.
Roy knew that he could only become a general because of Julian's trust, but he was too busy dealing with many important military and political affairs, so he could only keep hoping in his heart that General Roland would arrive soon, so that he could unload this burden.
But it backfired, and an urgent news came that General Roland's army and the barbarian army had encountered it head-on.
Since the Silver Valley is a northeast-southwest river valley, the reinforcements from the royal capital can easily arrive by marching from the downstream upwards, but Willenburg is in the east, and it is difficult to hide from the barbarian army on the northern plains, so there is a probability of being discovered and encountered.
"Every Norswar soldier is precious, we can't afford to lose reinforcements from Willenburg!" An officer said.
"It's hard for us to hold even Silver City, so how can we rescue General Roland?" Another officer was-for-tat.
"We are short of cavalry, and according to the news from the scouts, the barbarians have tens of thousands of Warcraft cavalry, how can this be fought! The vast Silver Valley is no different from the plains, and we are looking for death when we go out of the city to fight! ”
"If they were all wiped out, it would be too much of a blow to morale, and we should have the same hatred, and His Highness Julian will not sit idly by here!"
The more noisy it became in the command room, Roy slammed the table: "Enough!" ”
Everyone looked at him, as General Roland's old subordinate, he was emotionally inclined to rescue, but now he had to consider the overall situation, if he rashly went out of the city to rescue, it might really consume Silver City's own strength.
Mu Lan looked at Shi Zhengyang and Shen Wei, wanting to hear the opinions of these two veterans, Shen Wei frowned and stared at the sand table, and then said slowly:
"If you don't look at it so negatively, this is also a good opportunity for a strategic decisive battle." He pointed to the crooked White Galaxy Valley, and then to the Silver City on the heights, and said, "If we have enough troops to outflank the enemy when they fight General Roland, it will be a situation of attacking from both sides. ”
Shi Zhengyang denied: "The troops are insufficient, whether it is us or General Roland, which army is defeated, it will be very dangerous to defend the empty Silver City......"
"Captain Shi, you are too cautious, this is the best time to end this war."
Everyone was startled and looked at the two people who slowly walked into the room, one of them was silent, and the other squinted his eyes and smiled like a fox.
