Chief Aesh is not willing to fight this battle in the slightest!

Despite the Khan's promise, the ghost place was of no value to the Aesar chieftain.

However, the Khan's orders were still to be carried out, and the chief of Asa set out from the town of Tulbuk and led an army of 5,000 to attack Fort Lelag.

Speaking of which, Chief Asa is also a battle-hardened veteran, following the late Jerak Khan and the current Saiga Khan through countless battles, whether it is the Eastern Mangyuan or the desert Gobi, leaving countless footprints.

But this time it was an attack on the mountain city defenses, and Chief Asa had little confidence.

However, the Asa chieftain still played a trick of attack that was a common tactic used by the Kujits, who were naturally good actors in tactical deception, although most of them were steppe herders.

Chief Asa sent 200 suspicious soldiers to set up a camp in front of the Faramo Mountain Road, and many flags and tents, which seemed to be an army of about 3,000 men, and set up a camp with 500 suspicious soldiers on the side of the Fabius Trail, disguised as an army of 5,000 men.

Since these two places are the only way to enter the mountains to [Fort Lerag], you can successfully evade the garrisons of [Fort Lerag] here, and then, Chief Asa will prepare to attack [Fort Lerag] through the most difficult mountain stream path in the snowy mountains!

It should be said that Chief Asa's tactics were very set, and he did manage to successfully attack the city of [Fort Lerag] without encountering any resistance.

However, the Hantus never thought of taking the initiative to go out of the city to intercept, but relied on the mountains around Fort Lelag and the advantages of the city defense itself to resist the Kugit's horses and scimitars.

Due to the fact that some time ago, the Kingdom of Veggia sent people to bring a large amount of treasure and weapons, and Hantus and Ireli recruited some snowfield bandits and local Virgians. Finally, three thousand men were gathered before the Kugit army arrived.

These people have some combat experience and are also very good at archery. In Virginia, a country with a strong hunting background, archery is not only a combat skill, but also a life skill.

When Chief Asa came to Fort Lerag, he was immediately relaxed, and the disheveled men in the city looked like a bunch of bandits, how could these unorganized and undisciplined fellows be the opponents of the Kujits?

Due to the rugged mountain roads for several days, Chief Asa wanted to understand the battle as soon as possible, so he only brought a siege equipment such as a siege ladder, and did not do a detailed reconnaissance, in his opinion, this was just a group of bold rabble, and no tactics were needed at all.

The arrogant Kujit began to set up ladders to siege the city, and the resistance on the top of the city did not seem to be fierce, protecting the revenge of the Sweetheart's Death

。

They climbed the walls of the southern city as they wished......

The follow-up troops saw that the striker had already gone up the wall, so they desperately squeezed into the southern city. (.cc marshmallow)

A trumpet! On the towers of the city, on the high grounds, behind the houses...... Countless feathered arrows were shot, and they smashed into the Kujiit people who had just come up to the wall like flying locusts, and all of a sudden, they cried and cried for their mother.

It turned out that the Virgian archer Hantus knew very well that if he stood on the city wall and carried the bow and arrow with the enemy, it was meaningless, he could only kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and the gains outweighed the losses.

If you lure the enemy to a prominent position at the top of the city, and let your archers hide in the shadows and shoot arrows at enemies who can't spread out on the top of the city, then the effect will be even better, and the losses of your side will be much lower.

The Kugit soldiers who climbed to the top of the city were immediately shot into hedgehogs by bows and arrows, and countless corpses were smashed from the top of the city to the ladder outside the city, which aggravated the fear in the hearts of the Kujits.

"Retreat, give me all the retreat!" Seeing this, Chief Asa immediately ordered to stop the attack and retreat!

"Don't let any of them go, shoot arrows!" At this time, Hantus pursued relentlessly, leading the archers to climb up to the top of the city and launch a pursuit of the retreating Kujits!

Chief Asa finally withdrew with his men, and after counting the losses, he lost more than 500 people, and most of the rest were wounded by arrows.

As soon as they fought, they were ambushed, and Chief Asa, fearing that this would cause their morale to drop, ordered the whole army to return fire with bows and arrows!

The composite cavalry of the Kugits was a great pride of the Kujits, and in the eyes of the chief of Asa, losing to the enemy was simply deceived by the enemy's deceit, and they could not do it.

When a rain of arrows raged up and down the city, Chief Asa saddened to find that his own people had been completely suppressed.

In fact, the tactics of the Asa chieftain were not bad, and in the face of the slow rate of fire of the Svadia crossbow and the weak Salander hard bow, the Kugit compound bow took advantage of both the rate of fire and the power.

However, in the face of the Virgians, who were rich in archers, they lost their terrain advantage, and in the bow battle, the Kugit could only be unlucky.

In this way, the Kugit people's crusade against [Fort Lelag] came to an end hastily!

The battle-hardened Kugit commander, Sheikh Asa, was crushed by a Virgia veteran of Hantus with a group of improvised militia units.

But no matter what, if you lose, you lose! Although Chief Asa has average military ability, he understands to some extent that he does not blame himself for losing this battle, and there are too many objective difficulties!

Saiga Khan is a relatively wise Great Khan, so he probably won't blame himself!" Chief Asa thought to himself.

The chief of Asa prepared to lead his troops to withdraw from Fort Lerag to his territory, and sent a herald to inform the Saiga Khan of the defeat in Tulga.

However, Asa didn't expect that his younger brother Guru Maha was not reconciled, and secretly led five hundred guards back to the area of [Fort Lerag], preparing to wait for an opportunity to ambush the Virginian Ghost-faced Princess Allure who left the city: The emperor let go of my latest chapter

。

Guru Maha actually had his own little ninety-nine in his heart, and when the army retreated from the snow-capped mountains, he found that the army could only march in a long line in the col. Moreover, it is not easy to coordinate and connect at all.

Therefore, if you secretly take the rearguard unit back, my brother will not find out.

Moreover, Guru Maha knew that his brother's herald would report the battle situation to Saiga Khan, and if he could win a battle, he would definitely show his face in front of people, and maybe he would be able to squeeze out his brother and become a tribal chief in the future!

At that time, Guru Maha asked Chief Asa to be the rearguard, and he was the last to retreat. The kind-hearted chief of Asa thought it was his brother's bravery and sense of responsibility, and immediately agreed.

When Guru Maha secretly returned to Fort Lelag with his troops, he found that it was already dusk, and it seemed that the Vigians who were underestimating the enemy at the head of the city had let their guard down.

Guru Maha was even happier when he discovered the void of the city gates!

If the castle that the elder brother can't defeat, if he sneaks up and takes it with inferior forces, it will be easy to seize the leadership of the tribe with this credit.

At just 21 years old, Guru Maha's eyes narrowed into a line. With a decisive wave of his hand, the Kugit swarmed up and quickly captured the gates.

But, that was the end of his good fortune.

The return of the rifle was a great blow to the Vigias, but they quickly used the fences set up by the houses in the city to limit the movement of the Kujits, and quickly began to counterattack.

Since the Kugits were only one-sixth of the number of the Viggians, and had just lost the battle, the Virgites reacted quickly and were surrounded in a corner of the castle. Then, the Virgians swarmed up......

In a few moments, the small Kujiit were all killed.

In the pile of corpses, Hantus found the body of Guru Maha, who had been shot into a hedgehog by countless feathered arrows!

When he heard the news, Chief Asa was shocked! He could not have imagined that his younger brother would disobey his orders and use troops without authorization, and as a result, he would end up dying on the battlefield.

Immediately after the incident, Chief Asa sent a soldier and shot an arrow tied to his letter into the city, demanding the return of the bodies of the dead!

However, Hantus obviously couldn't agree to such a request just after a battle with someone.

But Hantus replied with a letter to the effect that as long as you Kugits recognized that Fort Legag was not a Kugit territory, and recognized Hantus and Ireli's authority over the castle, you would agree to return the bones of the fallen soldiers.

Chief Asa was surprisingly furious: you got three points of dye and even started a dye shop!

Enraged, the Asar chieftain prepares to ask the Saiga Khan to lead a large army against this damned little castle.

However, when the chief of Asa came to the city of [Tulga], he saw the lord of Taisha of the Kingdom of Virgia becoming the Khan's guest!

Lord Karak Tessa was ordered by King Yarogark to come to the Kugit Khanate to negotiate a marriage to the end, and the president could not wait for him

。

King Yarogark did not want a real conflict with the Kujits, which would be a lose-lose outcome and would not benefit the Virgians much.

Therefore, this time, the lord of Taisha, who can speak and be extremely shrewd, came to negotiate.

Saiga Khan was also reluctant to use troops at this moment, after all, fighting a full-scale war for a place where birds don't was not what the barren Kugit Khanate was willing to see.

The meeting between Lord Taisha and Saiga Khan began in a friendly atmosphere!

Saiga Khan first explained that Fort Lega was legally part of the Kugit Khanate, hoping that friendly neighbors would understand this and stop interfering in Legag's affairs.

Lord Taisha smiled slightly, and told the Khan about the common way of inheriting the realm of Calradia. "That is, the lord himself has the final say, and the lord himself must be a nobleman of his own country. ”

At this time, Lord Tesha took out a knight's appointment letter with the seal of the late King Berlak of Virginia, appointing Hantus as a knighthood of Virginia as a reward for his role in the shooting of Gunding Harebrix at the Battle of Zhivacheze.

"I didn't expect this Viga mercenary to be the Virgia hero of the year!" Saiga Khan's tone looked a little surprised.

Lord Taisha continued: "After the death of the old lord of Fort Lerag, his son should theoretically inherit the land and title, but since the old lord's sons are dead, his son-in-law can inherit the inheritance. Therefore, the fate of Castel Le Rag should be decided by Hantus himself. ”

This sentence made Saiga Khan unable to refute for a while.

In addition, Lord Taisha took out a thick account book, on which recorded the tax transactions of Kudan City, an important town in the south of Vigia:

Due to the friendly relations between Virgia and Kujit, the two sides have repeatedly jointly cracked down on the bandits of the ringing horses and snowfields in the territory, and the livestock products of the Kugit people can be exchanged for iron and timber, medicinal herbs, copper, wine and other necessities from Vigia every year.

The Kugit were far less productive than the Virgias, and trade with Kudan, a town south of Virya, could greatly ease the pressure on material needs in the country.

Lord Taisha said with a smile. "If there is any unpleasantness between the two countries, it will be fatal to the people at home!"

Finally, Lord Taisha pretended to be earnest and said, "We are the protectors and guardians of the people in our respective countries, and if we can't let the people live happily and well-being, our prestige and status will be shaken!"

Lord Taisha's words were still very useful to Saiga Khan, who had no courage or preparation to fight the Virgians. However, it's too shameless to forget it.

As the Khan of Kujit, Saiga decided to make some money! The Saiga Khan asked the Lord of Taisha for compensation. "I need to be compensated!"

At this time, the smile on Lord Taisha's face became even stronger! Now that the other party has spoken, it is better to give money than to fight

The lord of Taisha proposed to the Khan: "Compensation of 200,000 dinars!"

Saiga Khan shook his head and said, "I have to ask for 500,000 dinars!"

So, the two sides began to look like two people around the number of the dinar, and a piece of news the next day made Saiga Khan angry and drove away Lord Taisha!

The message was simple: Hantus ordered the burial of the bodies of more than a thousand Kugits who had died in Fort Lerag!

Obviously, Hantus did not understand the customs of the Kugit, and although Ireli knew something, it seemed to her that burial was also possible.

The [Castle de Legag] where Ireli lives is a remnant of Callad, and most of the people she comes into contact with are Virgians, although she has been the wife of a Kugit, but the time is too short, and she is very active by nature, so she has never paid much attention to this kind of funeral matters.

Hantus and Ireli think that the burial can be regarded as an explanation for the deceased, so that people can be buried in peace!

However, in the eyes of the Kujits, this is an extreme challenge to faith and cognition!

Here, it is necessary to first talk about the funeral customs of the Kugit people:

When a person dies a normal death, his family will sew him naked in a large sheepskin bag, and then his relatives will put him on an ox cart and pull him to the wilderness, where there must be wolves!

When the ox cart bumps and the carcass falls, his family will smear the animal's blood to attract wild wolves!

In the eyes of the Kujits, only when the wolf eats the corpse can the soul of the deceased be accepted by the "Heaven of Immortality", and only by reincarnation can they become warriors.

Wolves, in the Kugit culture, are the closest animals to the sky, although they have no wings!

Even if the corpses on the battlefield cannot be fed to wolves, at least crows or other animals can be eaten, the soul can be sublimated, and at the very least, the violent corpse wilderness will be turned into white bones.

Buried in the earth, the Kujits believe that this is equivalent to feeding the corpse of the deceased to maggots, and after death it must be reincarnated as flies and mosquitoes!

This is a great insult to the faith of the Kujits! Is it tolerable or intolerable! Saiga decides: Use soldiers! A long-winded and unyielding merchant bargains
