Meria nodded in satisfaction, and then turned to look at the many soldiers.

"Don't be frightened by the enemy in front of you, they won't really attack the city until dawn tomorrow. ”

The soldiers looked at each other and looked at Meria with puzzled eyes.

"From Yode Town to here, the cavalry gallops, even if it is fast, it will take a whole day and a night, and even if the people are not tired, their war horses should be tired. Meria smiled slightly: "I don't think they will launch a formal siege battle, they will only do some mounted shooting." You spread some felt behind the walls, and we might as well recover some arrows. ”

"Kiru, I'm sorry for you to command the battle on the castle tower first, the other officers, let's go to the barracks for a small meeting. ”

Meria left quickly with a group of officers, this was not an easy battle, and it was likely to turn into a tug-of-war, this kind of pre-war meeting, it was quite necessary.

"Captain Kiru, is it okay?" A soldier on the battlement looked at the black-pressed cavalry troops in the distance, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva subconsciously.

"Of course, no problem, now is a good opportunity for us to make a difference. Kiru took the Windgroan Bow from his back, "It's a good bow, I haven't really shot anyone with it yet!"

......

The barracks in the central square were empty at the moment, and all the soldiers had been sent to the front line of the battle, Merial, Will, Ginny, Planck, Nile, and the elven girl Sylph were now in the empty barracks.

"How come the Beru still have so many troops? Nile's fists clenched tightly: "The battle of Hamp City, and the battle of Yod Town, just this one Second Legion, their troops are replenished so quickly?"

"No, I didn't talk about it on the city tower before, according to the scout's news, when the scout's large army was separated from Captain Godin, Godin had judged that this time the participating troops may not only be the second army of Beru, but also the cavalry of other countries in it, although we don't know that the country and the Belu people reached such an agreement on cooperation, but the enemy's troops, it must be enough to eat our small Boer city. Meria said sternly: "This unit has had the experience of being attacked by gunpowder before, so we can't rely too much on the presence of gunpowder. ”

"I'll find a way to heal everyone. Silver's hands were folded around her waist, and she floated her body directly to the same height as everyone else.

"Silver, it's probably not good for you to get involved in this matter. Meria hesitated, the elven clan's life magic is indeed a powerful existence of the flesh and bones of the living and dead, and it can definitely greatly reduce the attrition in the battle, but Sylph is a guest in Boer City after all, and the elven clan is involved, and may suffer possible revenge.

"Your Excellency, you don't have to worry about this, I won't participate in the frontal battle, just bring the wounded and wounded, the enemy won't notice it at all. Sylph smiled slightly: "But my magic power is also limited, and I can't release healing spells for a long time." ”

"Well, that's enough for you to help. The attrition caused by the wounds was not small, and many wounded soldiers could not be immediately put into battle. Meria looked at Planck: "In this battle, we have to take out all the belongings, and the battle materials in the city, have you counted them clearly?"

"My lord, we now have a total of 3,100 soldiers, 900 crossbows, 2,000 bows and arrows, and 160,000 crossbow arrows, each soldier has a sufficient supply of arrows, the only thing missing is armor, many of our soldiers can only wear light armor to battle. ”

"That's my problem. Meria frowned and said: "Actually, shields, armor and other protective gear are very important in battle, when we were in Yode Town, we captured some hard leather armor, this kind of armor of better quality, the defense against the stray arrow will be greatly improved." ”

"Your Excellency, you say so, but we also have to be rich, you know that the money to buy a set of armor is much more expensive than buying a ballista arrow. Planck smiled wryly.

"Hey, that's true, after this battle, even if we win by luck, we have to tighten our belts and get by. Will shook his head.

Footsteps were heard outside, and a soldier hurried in to deliver a letter.

"Is this an arrow shot in by the enemy?" Meria took the parchment and pulled out the cluster of arrows on it: "This arrow is really a good arrow, they didn't attack the city?"

"No, the enemy is just out of range of our city defense ballistas. ”

Meria's gaze quickly swept over the parchment, and she quickly handed the letter to the other officers.

"What does that mean?"

Many officers looked at each other, and the contents of the parchment were both expected and somewhat unexpected by them.

The content of the letter is indeed related to persuasion, but the clause in it is that all the high-ranking officers of the city of Boer will become prisoners of the Beru, and all the armaments and resources will be taken from the city, so that the city of Boer will be spared from the fighting, and the civilians and food supplies in the city will not lift a finger.

"Can you believe it?" Meria sneered.

The crowd shook their heads.

"I think it's a trick played by the Belu people. Let us create estrangement and gap, the enemy is present, if there is a contradiction within us first, then how to deal with the enemy?" Will said in a deep voice.

"Well, in the future, we must be careful that the enemy shoots these letters into the city through a large number of arrows, and our morale must be guaranteed!" Miya nodded and continued: "But Bol City also has an advantage, we only need to face the enemy at the east gate, the west gate only has a path close to the mountain range, and it is impossible for the enemy's Kibin to fight here." I will tell you the ugly things in front of you, and if the gates are lost, I will cut off your heads!, therefore, I will keep the Berus out of the gates, no matter what means you use!"

"Don't worry, my lord, if the city gate is lost, I will die on the front line, and I will not give you a chance to cut off my head. Ginny smiled, and there was a hint of determination in her tone.

They all knew that once the city gate was breached by tens of thousands of cavalry, the only way that awaited them was defeat.

Merial glanced at everyone and said slowly, "Very good! In that case, everyone should write a suicide note!"

The atmosphere inside the command post suddenly became cold.

Outside, there was the sound of galloping horses' hooves, like thunder, the sound of horses' hooves in a large cavalry force.

In fact, it was the enemy's cavalry that was flying around the city.
