Chapter 162: Binding the Mercenaries Next

The words of the leader of the Mulihua mercenary regiment made Fei De unbelievable, although the army of the Western Oguna Empire was unstable, but there was no reason for those elite light cavalry to surrender directly before the victory was divided, right? It is estimated that those light cavalry units arranged in the land of Amy were only assigned the task of assault.

Fidel shook his head, and he didn't continue to discuss the issue with the other party. He sent all the mercenary leaders back to their camps, and then had all the mercenaries assembled, ready to face the impending situation. The time that Fidel himself had returned from the walls of the southern side city had been enough for the enemies to storm the edge of the walls of Doret City, but the enemies had not done so, and there was no new news coming from the city, and it was estimated that the invading forces of the East Oguna Empire were on standby.

At this time, Ayana raised her head and looked at the sky, the sky had changed from dusk to dark, the sun was about to set, and in less than an hour, the whole sky and the earth would be dark night. Fide also saw that it was getting late, and if the enemy was going to attack the city tomorrow, then why would they stand in full gear and within the visible range of the city of Doret? Could it be that the invading army of the Eastern Oguna Empire planned to choose to attack the city at night?!

It occurred to Fidel's mind that the enemy might choose to attack the city, but neither was suitable for execution at night. The garrison will have an overwhelming view at night, while the besieging enemy will only be able to hold a sword in one hand and a torch in the other, and will not even be able to raise a shield. Fidel believed that even the commanders of the invading forces of the East Oguna Empire, no matter how stupid, would not choose to storm the fortified city of Doret at night with their superior forces, and that the enemy must have other plans.

"Captain Fed, I think we should consider retreating first, the number of enemies is really terrible" Squad Leader Leonard walked over and quietly reminded Fett's ear.

The captains behind him also showed anxious expressions, but Fei De immediately reassured everyone: "We have built a complete fortification before, and although there are many enemies this time, we still have a slight advantage. "Fide is not lying, he has never tried to stand behind such a towering wall and watch the massive enemy attack him, but this time, no matter how strong the opponent is, the West Oguna Empire, which the potato mercenary group now serves, is ready.

This period of waiting for news was torturous, and the knights who "protected" Fede were also tormented. They had not received any news from the city's headquarters or the enemy, and as the sky was getting dark, the mercenary camp had been lit up and everyone had begun to eat dinner, but the knights kept their distance from Fidel.

Finally, when the command sent the latest order, Fidel, his squadron leaders, and those knights learned of the order of Stanley, the chief of the general staff, "Commander Fed immediately led the potato mercenary group into the city of Doret City, and the superior mercenary group, the Mulihua mercenary group and the Ahei mercenary group, which performed well in the border fortress, were all allowed to enter together. ”

Fei De immediately instructed his men to pack their things and prepare to leave the mercenary camp. The three mercenary groups also gathered their men and followed Fed's potato mercenary group. The other mercenary group leaders all sneered on the sidelines, of course they felt that the mercenaries who were summoned into Doret City were miserable, and the plan of burning the camp and retreating to observe the enemy would not have their share. If the city of Doret were to be destroyed, it would be impossible for them to escape from it, and they would probably be placed on the walls, where death would be very close in the face of huge siege towers and trebuchets.

Jasmine and the other leaders were expressionless, perhaps they had expected to be asked to enter Doret City. Being summoned in is both a trust in oneself by the Theoguna Empire, but it is also a bondage. Fidel didn't know if the three men had conspired with those who had tried to watch the fire from across the strait and decided at the last minute which side they wanted to stand on, but it was certain that they couldn't get far away now.

Before Marcus left the camp, he found Fidel again, and then whispered to Fidel: "Captain, I hope you remember what you promised me, you must let the potato mercenary group be saved, this is the continuation of the Moon Shield mercenary group owned by Commander Andre, I really hope" Before he finished his words, Fidel already understood. He knew that Marcus had always been loyal to Andre, who had the grace of knowing him, so he would also show a hint of awkwardness when calling himself "regimental leader".

Reeves, who was not in charge of taking up arms and fighting, was much more at ease, having refused Fidel's offer to send him to a rear city. He said that there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city of Doret and that these people would be with him. Even if he was unfortunate enough to be defeated by the city, he did not believe that the Eastern Oguna Empire would not kill innocent people. He also reminded Fed that mercenary groups are always employees, and as long as they see the direction at the right time, they can make new decisions even at the last second, and they don't have to be tied to the fate of others. Fide understood what he meant, but the wasteland python Saresa had already clearly marked the price to catch herself, and I was afraid that if the capital of the Theoguna Empire was captured this time, it would be difficult for him to escape with his whole body.

Fed rode a horse and looked at the mountainous western walls of the city of Dorette. Now I have already been as calm as water, and I will not regret it anymore, this is the path I chose, which is completely different from my father's knightly path.

The only four mercenary groups allowed to enter the city were all brought into the southern sub-city of Doret City, a huge sub-city that had long been devoid of civilians, and all civilian residences had been requisitioned by the army. In addition to the regular army that had been assigned to other strongholds in the capital's defensive line, all the regular troops of the Theoguna Empire had now entered the three sub-cities, and some of the regent's own soldiers remained in the main city and the inner city. The southern side of the city had the most defenders, as this was the area that bore the brunt of it. The southern side of the city is surrounded by towering walls to the east, south, and west, while the north side of the city is slightly lower, but the wall that belongs to both the main city and the south side city has become the support of the south side city.

There were also a number of turrets and crossbows on the northern wall, and Stanley, the chief of the general staff, had already indicated that if the enemy attacked too hard, they might strategically abandon the sub-city to the south and defend around the wall. As for the passage connecting the sub-city to the main city in the south, it has long been heavily guarded, and the fortifications of the city gate have been strengthened. Moreover, a secret passage has been dug in the southern sub-city, which connects the city. If the southern sub-city is lost, the city can also send a surprise counterattack to attack the sub-city.

When he returned to the headquarters, he saw that Ludwig, Stanley, Mönggo, and Derek were already sitting in the chamber, and some of the generals were also there. Everyone's expressions were very solemn, perhaps because the enemy had been in view for hours, but there was no movement at all.

"If we fight at night, we should have an advantage, and the enemy will definitely not choose to attack the city at night. One of the generals waited until Feder was seated before he spoke to Stanley.

"Not necessarily, haven't you noticed that several of the main forces of the invading army have not appeared?" Ludwig closed his eyes, as if to close his eyes, but he immediately refuted the general's words.

Indeed, as Ludwig said, according to the lookout sentinels, they did not see the gendarmerie or mercenary units, not even the Knights of Lightning, led by Carlos. Although these units are not as numerous as the hoplites, these elite soldiers are also very strong in combat, and they are not currently in sight.

"They don't have to be afraid if they take a detour to the rear of Doret City, our sub-city to the north is already on guard. Derek said.

"I'm most afraid that there is something else," Ludwig still closed his eyes, "but don't worry, as long as I do what I have arranged before, and destroy all the main forces in front of the enemy, the victory in this defensive battle will be ours." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard a "buzz" from far and near, and then a few seconds later, a loud roar came from outside the headquarters - the enemy trebuchets were attacking the city of Dorette!
