When the news came, Ying Zihan was a little surprised that the Heilin Duchy would send so many troops, 12,000 people, and nearly 20,000 people including farmers and church personnel.

Of course, these news were not heard by Ying Zihan himself, and he is still a little weak in terms of intelligence now. These are all messages from Stormwind, is it a kind reminder?

Obediently, you must know that the Black Lin people only dispatched 30,000 people to attack the Silver Moon Elf Clan. Ying Zihan's own strength is not badly hidden militarily, he thinks that five or six thousand people from the other party are enough. But I really didn't think about how the other party looked up to themselves, I'm afraid they looked at more than themselves.

As the saying goes: no more than 10,000 soldiers, more than 10,000 boundless. The opponent's combatants were already more than twice as large as Bai Ling. Thorn Ridge doesn't have a big city, and a rock town is just a four-meter-high earthen wall. And there is no danger to guard, so Ying Zihan is very worried about Bai Ling's situation.

No, it's still too reluctant to let Bai Ling, a group of people, take on the army of the Heilin Principality, thinking of this, Ying Zihan immediately sent a message to Yang Yuan, asking him to take the headquarters to help Bai Ling.

Previously, Ying Zihan wanted Yang Yuan to lead the army to suppress Reed's territory, and it was also to guard against Duke Field. But now he couldn't take care of so much, he hurriedly sent Yang Yuan to support Bai Ling. You must know that Bai Ling must not be defeated, and if thousands of Qin people die like this, it will be an absolutely devastating blow to Ying Zihan. At the same time, if Bai Ling loses, I am afraid that the forces that Win Zihan gathers will not be able to resist the invasion of the Heilin Principality.

Reed's territory is a big deal to lose, but Ying Zihan believes that no one dares to take advantage of the fire to rob at this time. You must know that the imperial court is now focusing on this, and at this time, doesn't beating Ying Zihan mean helping the Heilin Principality, this is treason.

Everywhere, a traitor is always worse than an enemy. At least until Bai Ling is defeated, no one will offend their territory. If Bai Ling is defeated, then they will occupy Ying Zihan's territory, but there are too many excuses. The high-level saying is to avoid the Heilin Principality from occupying here, and the low-level can also be fertile water that does not flow into the fields of outsiders......

However, Bai Ling at this moment was not as worried as Ying Zihan, you must know that he was also very happy about Yang Yuan's coming. With such an ally, his odds of victory have increased dramatically. But if Yang Yuan doesn't come, Bai Ling won't be afraid of the army of the Heilin Principality, of course he has his own confidence.

So where is Bai Ling's confidence?

That's right, it's the Divine Machine Battalion!

The Shenji Battalion has always been in a very embarrassing position, but this time they are going to be ashamed and fight a turnaround. You must know that this time, Ying Zihan ordered someone to bring forty crossbows and twelve trebuchets. After seeing the power of these big guys, Bai Ling was simply overjoyed, with these divine weapons and sharp weapons, he might as well die if he couldn't win the other side.

The crossbow is still in its second generation, but it is powerful enough to shoot through heavy infantry from a distance of 600 meters. Not to mention catapults, it is not a problem to throw dozens of catties of things for more than 400 meters, and if the stones are smaller, they can be thrown farther. You must know that the catapult with the longest range is more than 100 people at the same time, throwing more than 100 catties of stones five or six hundred meters away (the largest catapult is real, there is a record in history). Of course, Ying Zihan's army can't do this now, and the catapults under his command are all pulled by twenty people together, and then they throw thirty or forty pounds of stones for about two hundred meters. (These things exaggerate the range, and it's certainly not that strong in history.) But there's no way around this, otherwise the crossbow and the catapult can't even compare to the heavy crossbow. )

Bai Ling began to evacuate and transfer the people after getting these guys, and he came according to the art of war of Yingzi Hanjiao. It is called the vertical wall to clear the wilderness, transfer all the materials of the people, and then strengthen the small city of Yanzhen. Before the army of the Principality of Heilin arrived, he had already raised the four-meter wall by half a meter, repaired all the broken places, and then dug many pits and other things. At the same time, the oil brought by Chaoge, the stones collected, and the arrows were all ready.

And Bai Ling himself had already met with Yang Yuan, and after they discussed, they were ready to fight a war of attrition with the Heilin Principality. It's autumn now, and as long as they hold on until late autumn, they'll win. You must know that winter is not suitable for war, but it is not a joke, first of all, the Heilin Principality has to gather more than 10,000 sets of thick clothes and quilts. Otherwise, what kind of battle will there be after everyone freezes to death, Bai Ling's idea is to spend two months, wait for them to withdraw their troops by themselves, and then there will be time for Qin Di to develop again.

(Here, there is a bug in the previous article, which is not easy to modify, please forgive me.) It's just that there was a period of time before that there was no winter, which was embarrassing)

Because Yanzhen was too small, Yang Yuan's army did not settle here. Yang Yuan set up camp on a hill ten miles away from Yan Town. In this way, only Yanzhen is in danger of breaking the city, and Yang Yuan can send people to support. At the same time, as long as someone attacks Yang Yuan, Bai Ling can also bring people to support.

However, after they discussed, they made adjustments, putting the 1,000 cavalry of the Xuan Ce battalion and the 500 cavalry of the violet cavalry outside, and all the infantry staying inside. In this way, the army outside is all cavalry, and it is more mobile. And it is also very convenient to defend the city with a six-meter spear from the Macedonian phalanx. If the enemy is not strong enough with bows and arrows, it will cost him a lot to climb the city wall.

And now several of Ying Zihan's neighbors have also been disturbed by him, and Field is one of them.

Gru City, a city built by the Field family for generations, is six meters high, ten meters wide at the bottom, and four meters wide at the top. Although this city is still far from Chaoge, it is not much worse than a county town like Stormwind City. With a permanent population of 60,000 people, it is still a bit insufficient for such a city, because it is not difficult to live in a city of more than 100,000 people. However, there were not many people in the Duchy of Field. His territory now has only 200,000 people.

The current Duke of Field is angry in one of the most luxurious mansions in Gru City.

As for the reason, of course, it was the letter he put on the table, which asked him to help support Bai Ling's army in the fight against the Duchy of Heilin, otherwise he would publicize his deliberate rebellion, and the person who paid the money was of course Ying Zihan.

You must know that he sent a thousand sets of equipment to Reed last time, and Reed is now carrying it with him. In order to gain Ying Zihan's trust, Reed directly sold Duke Field. That's why Ying Zihan sent someone to deliver such a letter, and it would be best if Field sent someone to help. He can disgust him if he doesn't help, and tell Field that he has his handle in his hands, lest this guy always have the idea of fighting the territory of Yingzihan.

However, Ying Zihan really didn't expect that Field was really a little hesitant after receiving this letter. His indecisive personality made him start to think about whether Ying Zihan would really denounce him after he was furious.

However, as soon as he thought of the lineup of the Heilin Principality this time, he gave up the idea of supporting. In his opinion, Ying Zihan will definitely not be able to hold on, and Ying Zihan will definitely be killed at that time, and the dead will not sue.

Similarly, Governor Auston also received a letter of help from Ying Zihan, and this guy was very decisive this time, and immediately sent 3,000 troops to the border. He still saw that he understood very well that if the Heilin army came to fight him after killing Yingzihan, he sent troops to support.

It's just that the army he sent to reinforce was not with Bai Ling, but mainly to create pressure on the army of the Principality of Heilin on the border of Thorn Ridge.

He just sent a herald to send a message to Bai Ling, if the two armies were together, then who should command whom? If the relationship is not good, I am afraid it will help the opposite.

Therefore, this time their actions are suspected of sitting on the wall, but if these Black Lin Duchy are defeated, Alston will not mind taking advantage of the fire to loot and share the credit. If Bai Ling was about to collapse at the touch of a button, Auston would not go forward to die.

At the same time, Bishop Allen was also paying attention to the matter. He was quite satisfied with the attitude of the Principality of Heilin to send troops, but when he saw the news that the church had sent five hundred cavalry and one hundred magicians to help, his face had changed.

"Fool," Alan didn't care about his image anymore, he scolded angrily, "Are these people pig brains? How do other empires and countries think about sending troops to attack the territory of the Dawn Empire so openly? Although the cathars of the church are stationed in the territory of the principality and the kingdom, they are still very low-key, the purpose is to reduce the fear of these countries against the cathars.

As soon as this happened, those countries did not keep the cathars under constant surveillance, fearing that this would happen in their own territory that day. ”

Alan was really angry, and what a loss this operation was to the church could not be measured with money. Although he had managed to see that the previous war between the Duchy of Heilin and Dawn had been half provoked, this achievement was simply too miserable compared to the imminent losses.

Alan immediately wrote to Anse El and told him to bring the team back immediately. Then you can give support to other aspects of the Heilin Principality, that is, you can send clergy as healers, and the only thing is that it is forbidden to send troops.

I have to say that Allen's insight is really deep, and this truth is really not something that ordinary people can understand.

For example, the Church is like a concession without territory in these countries, except that they have an army called a cathar. Even if these countries were eager to drive out all these armies and churches, they would not dare to do so because of the majesty and power of the church. But one day, when they feel a serious threat from these cathars, they may secretly guard against them. It's easy for a country to do this, as long as it's within the limits of the church's tolerance.
