Chapter 42: The Siege

Whether it was for the gold coins in front of him, or for the benefit of relying on the big forces in the future, Mayor Lardy decided that after he got on the ship of Heather and Mrs. Cellly, it was impossible for him to get off the ship halfway.

"Damn, you won!" said Lardy helplessly.

"There are now more than 400 cavalry on the outskirts of Yez Town, and all of them are the elite cavalry and mercenaries of the lords. Now there is no way to break through with the personnel of our two caravans and the people of the escort team, and the only way now is to rely on Yezi Town to defend. ”

Barron nodded, this is obviously a very reasonable reason, after all, they are now on the side of absolute disadvantage, whether it is troops, combat power or movement speed, they are completely destroyed by the enemies on the lord's side, and only by relying on Yezi Town, or rather, relying on the mercenaries of other caravans in Yezi Town, as well as the personal guards of the local minor nobles, can they have any hope of defending.

"According to the personnel and materials just counted in the government affairs hall, it is enough for us to fight with the other party, after all, the other party is a cavalry is not good at attacking the city, although the overall combat effectiveness of our personnel is a little worse, but the number is not less than them, and there is a city wall to rely on, so it is not a big problem to defend. ”

Barron summarized and analyzed Heather's information, and found that their situation was not too dangerous, if the other party only relied on hundreds of cavalry, it would not be easy to break through the current Yezi Town, obviously the mayor of the town Laddy would choose to cooperate with them because of this part.

"There are many things we have to do next, first of all, the arrangement of personnel, and then the reinforcement of the defense of the city wall, as well as the preparation of city defense materials, the pacification of ordinary civilians in the town, and so on. Pande also said what he thought.

"My thoughts are the same as those of Lord Pande, and in specific matters, Lord Pande and Barron, you and the sheriff of the town, Drakov, will integrate the combatants, and Mrs. Celli and I will coordinate the supplies, and as for the reinforcement of the city walls and the pacification of the ordinary civilians in the town, it is up to Mayor Radi. Heather added.

Everyone nodded after listening to his specific arrangement, and Heather took into account everyone's strengths.

"Okay, now that you've decided, don't waste time, let's arrange it right away. Pande made a final conclusion.

When the group left the house, Laddy suddenly remembered something, and said:

"By the way, this morning, I originally arranged for someone to set off from the original road where you came to the east, wanting to see if there was time to go out to report for help, but halfway was blocked by a small group of horse bandits, but on the way back, I found a seriously injured person who seemed to be being chased by this group of horse bandits, and now this seriously injured person is already in the town's medical center, and your two seriously injured team members are receiving treatment, I don't know if he is your person, why don't you go and take a look?"

Pande and Barron glanced at each other, they had seen it when they were cleaning the battlefield, except for the 9 surviving people around them, the rest of the team had found the corpses and burned them in a fire, there could be no survivors.

So both Pande and Barron shook their heads, indicating that this person was not part of their team. However, since this person was chased by Earl Harold's cavalry, at least it means that he should not be an enemy.

"Bell! bell!"

"Bell! bell!"

"Bell! bell!"

Just as Pan De and the others were thinking about whether to go to see this seriously injured person, the town suddenly rang 9 consecutive ringing bells!

Hearing the 9 bells, Laddie's face suddenly became unusually gloomy.

"This is the highest alarm bell in Yezi Town, it seems that the 'horse bandits' have arrived!" Raddie's voice became unusually deep at this time.

Pande and Barron could no longer care about the so-called seriously wounded, and hurriedly followed Radi to the city wall to check on the enemy.

............

............

At this time, to the north of the town of Radi, the cavalry of several hundred people was neatly divided into four phalanxes. If it weren't for the messy linen cloak on his body, the face covered with a face towel of different colors, and the same slightly messy weapons in his hands, he didn't look like a so-called horse bandit at all.

In fact, they were indeed not the so-called 'horse bandits', but the elite cavalry of the forces of Count Harold.

In front of the phalanx, there were 5 solitary figures riding on war horses, looking at Yezi Town in front of them from a distance, and it was obvious that these 5 people were the leaders of these 4 phalanxes.

Among them, the [Greedy] Sham and Acadia who came with Sham, wearing a purple silver star robe, were impressively listed, and Arcadia stood in the middle of the five people, and also the front of the entire team, obviously he was the highest ranking person in this team of hundreds of cavalry.

However, he was still dressed the same, with a thick hood that encircled his entire head, making it impossible to see his expression.

"Ferret, Yez looks like it's trying to fight us!"

Arcadia's young voice sounded, he looked at the closed city gate in the distance, and the nervous preparation on the city wall, the Yezi Town personnel of various city defense facilities said lightly.

"Yes, Lord Arcadia, we have sent secret letters a few times ago, telling them to give up the siege as long as they hand over the two caravans of Heather and Celli, as well as the escort of the Jonny Chamber of Commerce, but obviously they did not take our kindness to heart, they should want to rely on the city wall to defend, after all, we are all cavalry, and if we forcibly attack the city, there is a great disadvantage. A man behind Arcadia spoke.

[Ice Knight] Ferret, the captain of the 3rd Cavalry Squadron of the Golden Lion Battalion, is known as the [Ice Knight] because of his expressionless face all year round.

"If they have rejected our 'kindness,' then they will have to bear our wrath! ”

"You give everyone a break for an hourglass, and then you will storm the city, and I will break through the town of Yez before sunset today. Arcadia said lightly.

"But Lord Arcadia, it's too wasteful for our cavalry to forcibly attack the city, can we think of other ways?" asked one of the men standing behind Arcadia.

"What do you mean, Asaya, do you think that Lord Arcadia's decision is wrong, or is it that your Frisian cavalry is more expensive?"

"Of course I didn't mean that, I'm just talking about the facts, didn't Ferret just say that cavalry siege is a great disadvantage? What's more, we haven't prepared any siege weapons yet, and forcibly attacking the city is only to increase casualties. Ashaya still stood by his opinion.
