Everyone in Xiliu City knows that there are two "generals" in Xiliu City, and their strength may not be very strong, but they are very clever in commanding the legion to fight. One is Luos, the star of Westflow City, who is decisive and ruthless, but unfortunately his head was cut off before he could show his ability. Underestimating one's opponent will eventually pay a price, especially in war, where the price is often death.
In addition to this there is another person, known as the "flash of the city of Westflow", Montreal. People say that these two guys have supported the dignity of Xiliu City for sixty years, and their existence has deterred those who are hiding in the shadows and peeping at Xiliu City to the greatest extent.
At this time, Montreal was standing on a high ground outside of Ortrenburg, and the grass not far away was stenching, and a large area was soaked in dark red. His shoulder-length blond hair swayed slightly in the wind, and the heroic aura between his eyebrows almost burst out. This is a very handsome person, with a height of more than one meter and eight meters, coupled with a handsome appearance, he easily became a household name in the aristocratic circles of Bell Province.
But the funny thing is that the reason why he is famous has nothing to do with the art of conducting, and people are more concerned about his lace news. Today I slept with the hostess of whose house, and tomorrow I got into the curtain of which lady, he is like a crimson news machine, constantly providing people with topics for pastime after tea and dinner.
At this moment, he finally showed another side of himself.
"I've heard that Baron Wren has dug a lot of 'traps' in this wilderness, and I have to say that this is a very outstanding tactic that can hold back for a few days, whether you know it or not. At Montreal's request, the drafted men were carefully searching the pits hidden behind the dead grass, inch by inch. It was no secret that Wren was digging a pit, and as long as people still wanted to, they could afford to satisfy the untouchables of Ortrenburg for news.
Wren, while uniting almost all his powers, will naturally offend a small number of people, and these people will hide, like a wounded coyote, biting him at a critical moment. The information in the city was constantly transmitted to the desks of the coalition forces through various covert ways, and even where Wren was now, how many words he said, and what the content was, they knew exactly what he was.
In the face of such an already unfair war, Montreal still did not take it lightly, Luos just didn't take this group of untouchables seriously, and died at the hands of this group of untouchables. He will not repeat the mistakes of the past, he will approach this war with the most serious attitude ever.
He glanced back at the leader sent by the Horton family, "Are the siege equipment ready?"
The Horton family civilized the entire province of Bell with various craftsmen, and even some other places, and placed a large number of orders with their family. Wren's monopoly on goods in the province of Bell had minimal impact on them, and they were here because the patriarch of the Horton family could not refuse the price offered by Terman, a price that could not be refused.
The leader of the Horton family was far more like a carpenter than a warrior, he was dressed in leather armor, his appearance was thick, and his short flaxen hair was messy, giving people a sense of honesty at the same time, and occasionally the eyes that flashed by would reveal a kind of ordinary people's cunning. He patted his chest and said loudly, "As you wish, one siege vehicle and four climbing vehicles are ready to move at any time." ”
The siege vehicle is like a house with wheels, covered with a layer of steel plates on the outside, and there is a huge ram at the front of the car, which uses the latest solidified magic array of the Magic Guild "Arcane Impact" inside, and every time it is released, the base of the ram will be ejected by the arcane impact, and the force generated by the hammer head of the ram is enough to shake the city gates and walls, which is one of the most conventional siege machines.
The city car, on the other hand, is a large machine like a fire truck with a ladder in another world, with a ramp of 60 meters long enough to climb any wall, and a smooth ramp with snow chains that can withstand more than 20 horses galloping on it.
These siege equipment cost a lot of money, each of which was as high as thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins, and the most expensive of them were those solidified magic arrays and various alchemy products.
Montreal nodded, satisfied. He looked at the sun in the sky and said, "Eat at four o'clock, and attack the city at five o'clock." ”
Someone asked, "Why don't you attack the city now?"
At this time, it was already noon, and it was still more than four hours before 5 p.m.
Montreal explained: "Now that these soldiers defending the city have just been replaced by a well-fed and well-fed group of soldiers, they have a lot of physical strength and energy, and the siege of the city at this time will cause us a lot of casualties. After four o'clock in the afternoon, the physical strength and energy of these soldiers who had been guarding the city for an afternoon would be greatly reduced, and the soldiers who were preparing to change the guard in the city had not yet had time to eat. He laughed at this, his smile extremely bright, "I believe that you would rather fight some hungry fighters than fight to the death with a group of guys who are well fed and have no place to vent." ”
A glint flashed in his eyes, in fact, he still had a back hand.
The easy-to-understand explanation makes it easy to understand, and in our own generation, everyone is indeed willing to fight after eating and drinking, rather than starving.
Some scholars who specialize in war have calculated that fighting in war consumes far more physical effort than all physical labor. A person can hold on to a whole day of heavy physical labor before his physical strength collapses completely, but on the battlefield, the physical exertion caused by fighting often makes an energetic, well-trained warrior close to exhaustion within ten minutes of slashing.
The burden on the body caused by the fight is more serious than imagined.
Think about the gladiators in the gladiatorial arena who are accustomed to fighting and fighting, four or five minutes of high-intensity fighting is enough to make them unable to take a step, not to mention an even more tragic battlefield.
On one side was the high-spirited Boer coalition, and on the other side was the gloomy Ortlenburg.
The law and order that had been maintained for a long time was once again facing collapse, and in the atmosphere of the army pressing, some people who were not able to bear it began to vent their fears by hurting others. There are even some people with ulterior motives, who began to deliberately create panic after making many promises. After all, it was only the inhabitants of the city who were in charge of defending the city at this time, not the more professional, warriors from other cities.
Guards shuttled back and forth through the streets, and from time to time people were led out by them and beheaded on the side of the road. The dead heads scare some people's ambitions, but they also make some people even more crazy.
Inside Ortlenburg, there are already signs of chaos. In the face of the invisible future, not everyone has the same resolute and firm determination as the lord of the castle!
Richard was wearing a bearskin coat, rubbing his fat palms back and forth, his eyes were full of fear, but his face was red from obesity. Alma was also worried, the pressure brought by the 6,000 troops outside the city almost collapsed.
"My lord, it's getting more and more chaotic outside, some people have begun to openly rebel against the rule of the City Lord's Mansion, and the garrison has killed a lot of people, shouldn't you show your face and calm people's hearts?" Thinking about it, he had experienced more terrible and tragic things, and now this little thing was not enough to shake his heart.
Wren sat calmly on the first seat, he rubbed the copper ring on his index finger, the strange symbols on the copper ring gave him a particularly intimate feeling, as if he should know these symbols, but he couldn't remember what these symbols meant.
He glanced up at Cooper and sneered, "Don't you think that the current situation is very favorable to me? If there is no external threat and pressure, I am afraid that these people will only hide deep among my people, in some dark corner that I don't know, and sabotage my plans." Now they're jumping out, and it's what I want, and I'm going to see how many people are going to pop out. He lowered his head again, "Jump out of one, kill one." Even if the blood is flowing like a river. ”
"As for the people out there, that's not something you should be worried about. What you have to do now is to keep the city in order and not let these people cause trouble for me. ”
Wren then turned the conversation to the other two, "What are you doing here? Have you done your business well? Charlie, have the streets of the West End been repaired, and all the houses that are about to collapse have been rebuilt?", Charlie shook his head nervously, "Then you are still standing here and idle, get out of here and do your business!"
"Alma, you should now keep an eye on the rats that might appear in the city, and cooperate with Cooper to do what needs to be done, instead of drinking tea with me. ”
"You remember, if you win, I won't talk about it, and if you lose, it won't be your turn to be miserable. What kind of heart do you have, get out of here and get to work!"
The three of you, you look at me, I look at you, and finally left.
Sitting in the empty hall, Wren clenched his fists.
Isn't he nervous?
Definitely nervous, there were six thousand well-trained and well-equipped fighters outside. And what about him? Just a rabble.
But he can't be nervous, as soon as he is nervous, everything is over.
A slightly cold little hand pressed on his fist, he smiled slightly, grabbed the little hand in the palm of his hand and kneaded it gently.
"Don't worry, don't worry, there will always be a time when the clouds will disperse, and the sun will eventually shine on the world. Wren's mood fluctuated greatly, and at this time his calmness and reason had appeared a little empty because of his nervousness, and he didn't know if those damn nobles would abide by the contract between them, it was a big gamble, and he had everything he had. He reached out and grabbed the girl's soft waist, sat her on his lap, and buried his head in the girl's chest, "Look, Celeste, from this day onwards, I am the king of Ortrenburg, forever and only!"
As if surprised that this man who has always been strong actually showed such an unexpected side, Celeste gently hugged Wren's head with pity, "Yes, you will be the king of everyone, I firmly believe it!"
