Chapter 100: Orders
"Damn it!"
Under a wide wall, warriors covered in blood rushed forward frantically to take down the fortified city erected in front of them. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the distance, there was a huge barracks, and in it there were several particularly tall platforms, on which people watched the battle.
Barrett looked at the stalemate battle situation in front of him, and his face was a little ugly: "Three months, just one city, has blocked my 50,000 troops for so long?"
Seeing him like this, around him, some officers and nobles standing on the table also sighed slightly, expressing their shock at the current situation.
Originally, the Principality of Indeli was founded hundreds of years ago, and it was originally one of the most powerful powers in the Northern Regions. And after the current king Barrett succeeded to the throne, he was even more invincible, pacifying several other old principalities that originally competed with him one by one, and almost swept the entire Northern Regions.
This expedition has both pressure from the royal court and the idea of once and for all, wanting to pacify the entire northern region in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the fact that the royal court can't move its hands and feet at this time to go south. Therefore, it was almost poured out, and an army of 50,000 was dispatched, and the prestige was amazing, and there was no force that could stop it before. It had to be surprising that it was still blocked by the enemy.
Thinking like this in their hearts, they were a little admired in their hearts, and at the same time, their attitudes were particularly serious, and they felt the pressure.
A nobleman stepped forward, looked at Barrett with a gloomy face in front of him, and said, "Your Majesty, I just received news from the rear that our slave soldiers are running out, and at the same time, food is beginning to be in short supply. ”
Suddenly, Barrett was slightly stunned: "Are you already dead?"
He looked up at the front, looking at the corpses and blood stains on the ground, his face could not see sadness and joy, and said, "How many people have we lost these days?"
Seeing him say this, the people below looked at each other and didn't dare to answer.
Seeing this scene, the nobleman who walked out before sighed slightly, understanding that these people did not dare to come forward, and they touched their heads when the king was in a bad mood.
You know, Barrity's temper was not very good, and it can even be said to be cruel and tyrannical. And because of the recent siege failure, Barrett has been in a bad mood, and some time ago, he even hacked to death one of his concubines who he originally liked very much, just because the other party accidentally broke a wine glass.
Under such circumstances, these people naturally did not dare to come forward, so as not to invite death for themselves.
He walked up stubbornly, stared at Barrett's gloomy eyes, and said, "In terms of war slaves, because our offensive was too fierce before, coupled with the strength of the opponent's bow and crossbow, almost seventy percent of the battle losses have been lost at this time, and there are only about a few thousand people left. ”
"And the knights were also seriously damaged, three thousand were killed and seriously wounded in battle, and the rest of the minor injuries could be healed, and there were seven or eight thousand, almost all of whom were affected by the opponent's bows and crossbows and magic skills. ”
Hearing him say this, Barrett frowned and remained silent, but his originally gloomy and tyrannical eyes suddenly calmed down and appeared very silent.
After a long time, he raised his head again: "In other words, we have almost killed and seriously injured nearly 10,000 people in battle, and the rest have tens of thousands of minor injuries?"
"Yes!" A voice came from the other side, silently responding to him.
The scene seemed a little silent for a while, and after a while, another burly man in armor with a scar on his face came out and said, "Your Majesty, why are you worried?"
"The strength of the Principality of Yadixu is not as good as ours in the first place, not to mention that the number of troops at this time is less than half of ours, although it is guarded by the city wall, but if we fight now, we should be about to be unable to hold on!"
"After all, we still have tens of thousands of slave soldiers to consume, but the other side can only use soldiers to defend the city wall, and it is already very remarkable to be able to support it for three months, and it must have exhausted most of its strength. ”
Hearing this, Barry nodded in agreement.
After all, this is a common sense, in the case of one's own number and strength, it is still very difficult, and some can't support it, let alone the other party, it must be even more difficult, and even after a while, it will be broken.
He looked up ahead, observing the battlefield where the battle was still going on.
"Sure enough, the resistance is much weaker!"
He said silently in his heart.
I saw that at this moment on the city wall, the originally solid and stable defense line began to fluctuate slowly, and from time to time there were soldiers rushing to the city wall. Although it is still well defended, it has been greatly weakened compared to three months ago.
"Give the order, let the rear send a part of the slave soldiers and knights over, and at the same time issue a collection order, let the lords send reinforcements again, be sure to keep the offensive. ”
"At the same time, order those small city-states that are attached to us, order them to send food over, and be responsible for slaughtering them!"
He clenched his fists fiercely, and in his body, a little bit of terrifying fighting spirit was brewing, as if it was about to burst out: "This month, you must break through Cecil City!"
Put him like this, and suddenly a figure below had a solemn face, and it should be claimed that it was.
However, there are also some worried voices.
"However, Your Highness, those affiliated city-states have already dispatched the troops of the country to attack the Duchy of Adisu at this moment, if they are forced to send food like this, will they have complaints?"
One said hesitantly.
After all, the food needed by tens of thousands of troops is not a small amount, and these small city-states, originally in response to the dispatch of troops, were already forced by the majesty of the Duchy of Yingdeli, and they were almost bleeding to fight with their own national strength, if they were oppressed like this, it was likely that some accidents would happen.
However, Barrett smiled contemptuously at this: "A group of rubbish who can't even break through some castle defenses that are not garrisoned by many troops, even if they are dissatisfied?"
"As long as our army is still there, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can only lie on their stomachs and ignore it. ”
He looked at the people in front of him, his face was indifferent: "The most important thing now is this battle, as long as we win and capture Cecil City, then in this vast northern region, there will be no enemy who can compete with us!"
"Beauty, wealth, land, all can be plundered from the enemy. At that time, the small city-states will have to kneel more at our feet, and dare not make a sound. ”
When he said this, he had the slightest tyrannical, terrifying temperament, and a momentum that was shocking.
Seeing Barritt's appearance, everyone present felt righteous in their hearts and understood that they could no longer disobey at this time.
As a result, the audience was silent for a while.
