As night fell, after ten hours of fierce siege on Ziyang City, the Bretan army still failed to break through Ziyang City, and the commander of the Bretan Army issued an order to stop the attack, and the defenders in Ziyang City could finally take a breath. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Excellency, our 7th Battalion has lost more than 480 casualties in today's battle, and more than 200 have been wounded..." Standing on the city wall and looking at the brightly lit Bretan barracks not far away, Bogura nodded in response.

Turning, Bogula walked to the steps behind the city wall, where Meng Fan and Parker sat and rested, along with many soldiers.

"Claude, Parker, you're alright. Bogura came to the two and asked,

Just before the end of today's battle, the Bretan army launched the last wave of fierce attacks, and a Bretan soldier climbed the city wall and rushed towards Meng Fan in the rear,

Bogura was directing his men against the Bretan soldiers who were constantly climbing the walls, and he didn't have time to look after his brother.

Seeing the Brettan soldier rushing towards him with a big knife in his hand, Meng Fan's legs trembled, and the sword in his hand was unstable, seeing that Meng Fan was about to be killed by the Bretan soldier, Parker bravely pounced towards the Bretan soldier.

Parker threw the Brettan soldier to the ground, hugged the other party tightly with both hands, the Bretan soldier smashed Parker's face with his fist, Parker just didn't let go, Meng Fan gritted his teeth and took two steps forward with the sword in his left hand, raised the sword and slashed at the head of the Bretan soldier.

As soon as the sword went down, blood overflowed, Meng Fan failed to kill the Brettan soldier with a sword, Meng Fan's right hand was injured, and the left hand was not his dominant hand, coupled with the fear in his heart, Meng Fan did not kill the Brettan soldier.

The Bretan soldier whose head was cut off roared angrily, and actually stood up with Parker, who was holding him tightly, and the Bretan soldier grabbed Meng Fan's neck with both hands, and all three of them rolled to the ground.

Meng Fan, who was pinched by the Bretan soldier, was almost out of breath, and Meng Fan kept hitting the Brettan soldier's face with his fist, but the other party seemed to be desperately strangling himself to death.

Just when Meng Fan felt that he was about to lose consciousness, the hands of the Brettan soldiers let go and collapsed to the ground, Meng Fan looked up at the sky and gasped for breath.

When he came to his senses, Meng Fan turned his head to see that the Brettan soldier was dead, and there was a dagger in the soldier's stomach, Parker, as a wanderer, often carried a dagger with him, and just now Parker stabbed the dagger into the stomach of this Bretan soldier.

"Big brother, I'm fine, Parker... is injured. Meng Fan, who was sitting on the steps, looked up at Bogura who walked in front of him and replied, "Parker" Bogula squatted in front of Parker, "Lord Commander" Parker whispered hello to Bogula, Parker's face was swollen by the Brettan soldier, and there were still blood stains on his nose and the corners of his mouth.

"Parker, thanks to you for saving Claude. Bogura patted Parker on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing. Parker squinted his swollen eyes and swung his arms.

"Commander Bogula, Lord Dorne, the city guard, has come to make an inspection. A soldier came and reported, "Okay, I'll come here." Bogura stood up, "Claude, Parker, you have a good rest here. With that, Bogura walked towards the other end of the wall.

Meng Fan looked at Parker, who had a blue nose and swollen face beside him, "Parker, thank you for saving me." Meng Fan said with a grateful face, "Hehe, it's not enough to thank me, Claude, how can you repay me for saving my life." Parker grinned.

"Parker, I, Meng and Claude, promise you that as long as I have it, you will have it, and we will be brothers from now on. Meng Fan said as he pressed Parker's shoulder.

"Claude, you and Lord Bogura are brothers, so it's good for the two of us to be friends. Parker shook his head and said, there is no habit of calling brothers and sisters like on the earth in the Qinglan Continent, and it is already a very good relationship to be called friends.

"Parker, I've made up your friend. Meng Fan nodded with a smile and stood up from the steps, "Claude, where are you going?" asked Parker, who was still sitting on the ground, looking up.

"I'll walk around the walls, Parker, just stay here, I'll be back later." Meng Fan replied that after a day's fighting, the walls of Ziyang City were stained with blood everywhere, and those seriously wounded soldiers were carried on stretchers to the city's treatment points, and some farmers pulled trailers to collect the bodies of the soldiers killed in the battle and dragged them away.

There are still a lot of corpses of Brettan soldiers piled up under the city wall, these cold and stiff corpses make Meng Fan's heart tremble, just a day ago, Meng Fan was still sitting at home on the computer side playing games, but now, he has experienced a cruel and bloody battle, the air is filled with a bad smell, those stumps and broken arms on the city wall that have not been collected make Meng Fan's stomach uncomfortable, Meng Fan gritted his teeth and endured not to let himself vomit.

"Claude. Bogura came over from the other end of the wall, "Big brother. Meng Fan turned his head and looked at his younger brother in front of him, "Claude, you performed really well on the battlefield today, if Manier's group of bastards saw you today, they promised not to laugh at you again." Bogula put his arm around his brother's shoulders and laughed.

Manier is a soldier in the Blackstone Territory Army, and was previously in a squad with Bogula's younger brother Claude, who often taunts Claude for being a soft-ass waste.

"Big brother, you just went to see the city defense officer?" Meng Fan said, "Yes, each commander has to report the number of dead and wounded of his soldiers to Lord Dorne." Bogura replied.

"Big brother, how many soldiers did we sacrifice today?" Meng Fan continued to ask, "Today, there are a total of four battalions of soldiers fighting on the city wall, and four battalions are responsible for support, and the seventh battalion under my command has suffered nearly seven hundred casualties, and a rough estimate of the number of casualties among the defenders in the city is about three thousand." Bogura said with a frown.

There were nearly 3,000 casualties in one day, and there were only 30,000 territorial soldiers in Ziyang City, and Meng Fan's heart suddenly tensed.

"The commander of the Bretan army, Voncis Varouan, is really powerful, while leading the main army to attack the defense line of Fanxin Lake in the south of the Gilgidian Kingdom, and at the same time sending 100,000 troops to the Kingdom of Fran to attack from the northeast of the Gilgidian Kingdom, he must have expected that His Majesty the King would transfer the 50,000 royal troops in Ziyang City, which is closest to the Red Flame Fortress, to the defense line of Fanxin Lake..."

Ziyang City is the largest city in the northeast of the Gilgidian Kingdom, Ziyang City guards the main road from the northeast into the hinterland of the Gilgidian Kingdom, and there is a royal army of 50,000 people stationed in Ziyang City all year round, but a month ago, the 300,000 troops led by the Gilgidian King Landry were defeated by the commander of the Bretan Army, Fengsis, and Landry retreated to the Red Flame Fortress of the Fanxin Lake defense line with more than 100,000 remnants.

The defense line of Fanxin Lake is a defense line built by the Gilgidian Kingdom based on Fanxin Lake, the largest inland lake in the Qinglan Continent, this defense line is composed of two fortresses in the east and west, the Red Flame Fortress in the east and the Thundering Fortress in the west.

In order to hold the defense line of Fanxin Lake, King Landry ordered the 50,000-strong royal army stationed in Ziyang City to rush to the Red Flame Fortress, resulting in the 100,000 Bretan army invading from the northeast of Gilgias, and only 30,000 territorial troops under the command of the lord Marquis Lewin remained in Ziyang City.

The commander of the Bretan army, Vonsis Varun, Meng Fan had some information about the commander of the Bretan army, Voncis Varuan was known as the "undefeated military god", as the best general of the Bretan Kingdom, Vonsis participated in dozens of large and small battles, and won without exception.

Five years ago, in 7134 of the Bright Calendar, a war broke out between the Kingdom of Bretan and the Kingdom of Armas in the southwest, and the king of Gilgias, Landry Pars, took this opportunity to personally lead an army of 300,000 to invade the Kingdom of Brettan.

The Gilgidian king Landry led his army to capture ten cities in the kingdom of Bretan, but in the plains of the Sand River of the kingdom of Bretan, the Gilgidian army was resisted by the Bretan army, and the commander of the Bretian army, Voncis Varouan, used only 120,000 troops to block the advance of the Gilgidian army.

In the Sand River Plain, the Kingdom of Gilgias fought a fierce battle with the Kingdom of Bretan, and the Gilgidian army was divided into several pieces by the clever tactics of the commander of the Bretan Army, Vonsis, who ordered his elite troops to attack the position of the Gilgidian king Landry.

The soldiers around Landry fell one by one, and if it weren't for the timely arrival of General Coolum, the fierce general of the Gilgidian army, the king of Gilgias would have been almost captured alive by Bretan.

Since that war, King Landry Pars of Gilgia has hated Voncis Varouan, and it is said that every day in the royal palace Landry would chop the scarecrow with the portrait of Vonsis into powder to let him sleep.
