Chapter 160: Jinsha Town
Then I commanded them to go down and let them go. Shi Qian nodded and ordered the guards to give the order to release them.
The nobles waiting for the news outside the hall were overwhelmed when they heard that they were let go, and they were even more ashamed when they heard that it was the Count of Lovan who let them go. Thinking that the rumors of Lowen and the four of them killing Olsen and betraying the Moss Empire spread to Akita Castle, and they also severed the cooperation of the White Ash Mercenary Group, ashamed, really ashamed.
Although now they do work with the Daikin Empire...... But people let them go regardless of their past suspicions! What a noble personality this is!
The nobles of Akita Castle are all willing to go, except for the lord of the castle, Count Pollock.
Feeling the strange look in the eyes of the other nobles, Count Pollock was furious.
"Let's go, I won't go to Moss City, my relatives are here, where can I go, it's better to go." "Count Pollock saw off the nobles at the door.
"I really envy the Earl for having a virtuous son-in-law. Earl, goodbye. ”
"Goodbye. ”
Inside the hall, Lovan watched as the nobles left under the watchful eye of the guards.
"You're going to let them go like this?" Rowan asked Shi Qian.
"Of course they won't be so cheap. People can go, things have to stay, hahaha. ”
Old Fox ...... Rowan despised Shi Qian again.
Three days after Akita Castle was attacked, peace gradually returned to the city, how to live or how to live, the city changed owners, and the common people still lived the same.
According to the agreement, Akita Castle is now owned by the Daikin Empire. And now Akita Castle serves as the front line, accommodating the western expeditionary forces of the two countries, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers are stationed inside and outside the city, waiting for the next order.
The City Lord's Mansion was converted into a front-line headquarters, and Pollock and Tiffany were temporarily relocated to Luofu.
A large map was placed in the reception hall, and the important figures of the Western Expeditionary Corps of the Tai'an Empire and the Western Expeditionary Corps of the Dajin Empire gathered together to discuss the next battle plan.
"Hey, Akita Plains. Lao Jiang, what do you mean, as long as you conquer this town and master the magic crystal mine, or do you want to hit Moss City?" Shi Qian asked a burly middle-aged man, who was Jiang Wansheng, the general of the Tai'an Empire's Western Expeditionary Legion.
"I don't know what the top means, but I just said that at least the magic crystal mine should be laid, and the others are not indicated. Jiang Wansheng said with an unhappy face. It's no wonder that he was unhappy, he also sent a special team to attack the city gate, but he was unexpectedly discovered by the guards, which allowed the Dajin Empire to succeed. "You've got an Akita Castle, so we'll have to build at least a few towns. ”
Jiang Wansheng didn't know that the people who attacked their team were Luo Wen's people, otherwise he was afraid that he would be angry and kill a few people to dissipate his anger.
"Lao Jiang, this is luck, who can blame this. But if you can capture a few more towns, I really don't mind if you take them from the Tai'an Empire. Shi Qian smiled, "Let's talk about this magic crystal mine, don't sulk anymore." ”
Jiang Wansheng shook his head, this is fate.
The two generals ended the verbal battle, and the soldiers began to seriously discuss how to cooperate with the action.
Rowan and the others stood aside and watched, and did not express an opinion. Although he made a contribution to the capture of Akita Castle, he did not bother to speak because he had no official position in the legion.
According to the map, the Magic Crystal Mine is located under the first town west of Akita Castle, and it is also the first line of defense after Akita Castle. Although this town is called a small town, there are many city walls, moats, and moats, but the area is half smaller than Akita Castle.
The hand-dug moat is drawn from the Shimizu River and is used to irrigate the Akita Plain, which also doubles as a moat. Hundreds of years ago, it was designed like this, just to prevent the enemy from attacking Moss Castle after Akita Castle was broken one day, but I didn't expect it to finally work today.
Lovan watched their fierce arguments, and this posture was estimated to be fruitless for a day or two.
"Let's go, go back. Lovan said.
The two countries discussed how to proceed next for two days.
On the second day of the discussion, the remaining six members of the elite training program arrived at Akita Castle.
"I heard that you have made a great contribution?" Xia Qiu said with a smile when they met.
"It's just a coincidence, haha. Luo Wen said modestly, "Why are you here, the front line is so dangerous, your family agrees to come, and Qianqian is willing to let you come?"
"What are you talking about, how can my brother not come if he has something, Qianqian and her mother agree with me coming. ”
"Okay, it's all here, what else can I say. ”
The discussion at the command was finally over, and it was decided to repair for two days and start the operation when the material in the rear was in place.
Two days later, the assault on the town of Jinsha began.
Going out of the city from the west gate of Akita Castle, the fast horse is Jinsha Town in half a day.
The only wooden bridge leading to the town of Jinsha has been destroyed, leaving only an artificial river more than 20 meters wide. Jinsha Town was full of soldiers inside and outside the town, and even fire dragon cannons could be faintly seen on the city walls. I believe that after Akita Castle was attacked and breached, the commander of the Moss Empire would not make such a mistake again.
Fortifications were built outside the city walls, and various trenches crisscrossed the city, so that even the most elite jungle leopard cavalry of the Dajin Empire could not run freely. The gentle slope of the river is covered with obstacles formed by thick tree trunks, and even if you cross the river, it is difficult to climb over these obstacles, and they are buried high and deep.
The walls were densely packed with archers, and there were more than a dozen dragon cannons. With such a tight defense, it seems that the Moss Empire will never let the Western Expeditionary Army take a step forward.
The Western Expeditionary Corps drove to a safe distance from the fire dragon cannon by the river and stopped, and the commanders inspected the scene and deeply felt that this battle was not easy to fight.
The headquarters of the garrison in Jinsha Town.
"Young master, let us have some support from behind, I'm afraid that we won't be able to defend the crowd tactics. ”
"Anyway, don't call me young master. Now it's a war, call me General. McNair said.
"Yes, General. ”
When the news of General Andu's death came, the Duke temporarily appointed McNair as the provisional general, ordering him to gather the defeated army and gather reinforcements to hold the town of Jinsha, which made McNair feel a lot of pressure. He hadn't been in the army before, and he didn't know how to lead the troops into battle, but fortunately, several of his subordinates came out of the legion, and the arrangements outside were all his subordinates' ideas.
"General, do you want to go to the city wall to have a look, the soldiers will be more morale-boosting when they see you on the scene. The subordinate suggested.
"Well, let's go check it out. "McNair is a person who can listen and talk, and he can't pretend to understand if he doesn't understand.
Going up to the city wall and looking into the distance, the Western Expeditionary Corps was densely stationed on the opposite side of the river, and the cooking smoke rose one after another, and the white smoke blew onto the river to form a white mist.
This errand is not easy to do, it is the duke's credit to do it well, and if he messes up, he will have a reason to deal with his father. McNair was helpless when he thought of these officialdom scheming. If he hadn't been the captain of the elite training program, he would have let the enemy wait for the opportunity to attack Akita Castle, and the Duke would have done it all for him.
McNair made a show on the city wall, pretended to greet the soldiers, and handed over the rest to his subordinates, and went back to the house to make up for sleep......
Inside the tent of the Western Expeditionary Corps meeting.
"Lao Jiang, your investigation department didn't do it carefully enough, two days ago you said that the bridge was still there, and now it's destroyed, it's not in vain to discuss for two days, what can you do now. Shi Qian said dissatisfiedly.
