Chapter 17: Confusion (5)
Everything is going according to plan. A few guerrilla heroes www.biquge.info Pen Fun and Pavilion began to sail north with great fanfare, assuming the posture of an expedition to fight York, while the two main forces of Gu Shiyu and Altyn secretly marched eastward and stealthily entered the territory of Eufritin.
It's a strange territory, and no one knows where Everettin's stronghold is. The two hid their troops in the dense forests of the mountains, sent scouts everywhere to investigate, and captured a few woodcutters and shepherds, and roughly figured out the distribution of the four castles.
The capital of Everritin is the Rain City in the middle of the continent, a forest castle with the strongest creature in the fortress being the Golden Dragon. It is dotted with the City of the Valley and the City of Silence, which is also a castle of the Forest, and there is also a human castle of Yamlit. The castles were not very far apart, at most a one- to two-day march.
The scout's report is consistent with the information provided by the woodcutter and shepherd.
How to deal with the woodcutter and the shepherd, Gu Shiyu had an argument with Altyn. Altyn meant to let these people evaporate out of thin air, so as not to reveal the whereabouts of the troops, but Gu Shiyu was adamantly opposed to this.
"These people don't seem to be loyal to Eufritin, otherwise they would never have been so candid about Eufritin's defense. I think I'd better send them some gold coins and let them go!"
"My lord, if they are not loyal to Eufritin, will they be loyal to you? I think they are loyal only to money, and if you give them gold, there is no guarantee that they will go to Eufritin's informant in order to get more bounty. ”
"Let them go, they're innocent, and we'll find a way to act before they leak it. ”
"Why don't we tie them up in the forest and let their relatives find them? ”
"No, there are so many beasts in the forest, they will be eaten. Let them go, I don't think we need to spend too much energy on this. Gu Shiyu pointed to the map and said, "My opinion is to capture these two cities, one is the human castle Yamrit, and the other is the forest castle Silent City. They are no more than a day's apart, and you and I are each other's horns and support each other. ”
"Okay!"
"The swamp soldiers you brought with you will find a way to replace them with those from the Forest Castle in the future, so that you can get reinforcements at any time. ”
"Yes!"
"Stealthily march at full speed along the way, don't get entangled in mines, treasures, and other things, which will be ours sooner or later. Be sure to capture the city before Everyfretin finds out. ”
"Yes!"
"In addition to marching into Amrit and the City of Silence, scouts will be sent along the way to find out what is happening in the City of Rain and the City of the Valley. After you have captured the Silent City, if Everyfretin comes to attack with his troops, you will fight if you can, and if you can't, you will lose the Silent City and turn behind him to attack the City of the Valley. ”
"That is, if Yoffretin comes to attack you, you will abandon the city and go to attack the City of Rain and take his capital?"
"Yes, if you use this method to mobilize Everyfrittin to run non-stop, he will be so tired that he will collapse to the ground. ”
It's like playing basketball, where one person challenges two people. The two keep passing the ball to each other, and if they can prevent one and can't prevent the other, how can they fight?
The two took advantage of the night to march at great speed, and all the pedestrians they met along the way were detained, and Gu Shiyu finally came to the city of Yamrit when the sky was getting brighter, and took advantage of the defenselessness in the city to occupy the city in one fell swoop.
There was no unrest in the city as expected. The residents were quite welcome when they saw these fighters of the same kind.
Gu Shiyu's gold coin that he was most concerned about. He hurried to the council hall and summoned the members of the council.
However, he was disappointed by the results. There were only tens of thousands of gold coins in the vault, not the hundreds of thousands he imagined.
What about the money? Gu Shiyu looked at the parliamentarians suspiciously.
"Everyfretin escorted all the gold coins from the castle away the other day, and we tried to convince him to keep the money for conscription, but we didn't expect you to be so fast. ”
"What does he want to do?"
"I heard that he concentrated almost all the gold coins and recruited all the soldiers in the three forest castles. ”
"Yamrit didn't take his soldiers, did he?"
"Nope. If Yamlit's soldiers were also forest warriors, I guess he would have taken them with him. ”
This is the best news Gu Shiyu has heard so far. The bad news is that the money is gone, and it all allows Eufrittin to spend on recruiting soldiers.
"Everyfreting gathered the soldiers of the three castles, what kind of combat power is it?"
"Everyfretin has not yet been attacked, so he completed the construction of the interior as quickly as possible, and then built the barracks as quickly as possible. With the soldiers of the three castles combined, I think he should have about 400 centaur warriors, 300 dwarven warriors, 250 forest archers, 180 silver pegasus, 80 unicorns, and about 20 golden dragons. ”
Oh my God, isn't that twice as powerful as your own?
This is confirmed by the intelligence of the bard in the tavern, and the overall ranking of the contest is now as follows:
Ranking of the strongest combat power: Eufritin, Gu Shiyu, York, Boris.
Strongest Hero Ranking: Gu Shiyu, York, Boris, Eufritin.
Most money ranking: Gu Shiyu, York, Boris, Eufritin.
Gu Shiyu scolded fiercely in his heart: Your sister's Eufritin, hundreds of thousands of gold coins let you spend them so quickly? Alas, how can there be such a loser?
"Is he alone with so many soldiers?" asked Gu Shiyu worriedly.
"It seems that Uhfritin also has a lieutenant, I don't know if it's called, it's called ......"
"I don't care what his name is, you just say how many soldiers this lieutenant may bring, right?"
"He should have brought with him a hundred centaurs, fifty or so dwarves, more than fifty forest archers, and nearly seventy deadwood warriors. ”
Such a troop Gu Shiyu is still not afraid, and his strength is probably about the same as Altyn. Even Altyn would not have taken such a force into account. He had more than eighty werewolves, fifty lizard shooters, fifty dragonflies, thirty monitor lizards, twenty bison, and a dozen wyverns, with the only regret being the lack of a powerful hydra. Although the Deadwood Warrior's attacks are terrifying, Altyn was once a hero and should have been much more capable than Eufritin's off-hand.
Altyn, the nativity pond for the hydra, has been built, but he has not had time to go back to conscription.
Gu Shiyu immediately let the carriage drag all the gold coins to the military camps, ready to recruit troops and horses.
Hey, how can there be a golden city above the clouds? Could it be that this is the legendary city of clouds, which can recruit archangels to fight?
Gu Shiyu expected to be good. He finally managed to recruit five epic warriors, but each cost him five thousand gold coins and three diamonds.
This is too expensive, isn't it?!" Gu Shiyu gasped. Recruiting an archangel costs almost a hundred pikemen.
Fortunately, Gu Shiyu still had tens of thousands of gold coins with him, plus the one he had just grabbed, there were nearly 100,000 gold coins. But after recruiting all the soldiers, there wasn't much left.
Now he had more than three hundred spearmen, two hundred longbowmen, one hundred and forty royal griffins, nearly a hundred swordsmen, sixty druid monks, sixty heavy cavalry, and five archangels. With the exception of the Archangel, all other classes have increased their soldiers by a third.
Gu Shiyu finally grinned. He didn't expect Eufrittin to leave him so many soldiers, and if Eufrittin knew, he would definitely vomit blood in anger.
He immediately asked the bard, who was the most powerful now?
The bard said: "In terms of numbers, he is still stronger than you, but in terms of overall strength, you should still have a fight with him." ”
Then don't fight him head-on, if my brother is beaten to the commander of the light pole, how can he fight York?
With the bard's reply, Gu Shiyu was slightly relieved. At least he didn't have to run away in a hurry when he saw Eufritin, if he wanted to gnaw on himself, he had to see if his appetite was good.
By night, scouts from all over the place had reported back, and Altyn had succeeded in his hand, but all of the Silent City's soldiers had been taken away by Eufritin, and there was little defense. Scouts to the City of Rain and the City of the Valley reported that no of Eufritin's troops had been found in either city.
Strange, where did Everyfrittin go? Gu Shiyu ordered the troops to camp in the city to rest, and the next morning they set out camp and marched towards the city of rain.
Altyn also set out from the City of Silence to attack the City of the Glen.
Everfritin's capital, Rain City, was only guarded by the lieutenant general, who had been sweeping the remnants of the army in the field, but after hearing the scout's report, he hurried back to the city to defend, and before he could wipe his sweat, he was attacked by Gu Shiyu.
Brother Gu was already dizzy, and immediately sent the archangel to fly into the city, and wiped out more than half of the forest shooters in the first attack. He was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut, it seemed that although the archangel was a little expensive, it was definitely worth the money.
More than a hundred griffons, under the accelerated magic of Gu Shiyu, responded to the battle of the archangels, and also flew directly into the city and began to attack the deadwood warriors. But Gu Shiyu was startled by the dead wood warrior's counterattack, only to see countless tree whiskers entangled the royal griffins, not only strangling a dozen or so of them at once, but also making them unable to move at all.
A hundred or so centaurs rushed towards the archangels, and the result was that about half of the centaurs fell, and the angels were covered in blood, and it was not known whether the blood was from the centaur warriors or the angels.
Gu Shiyu was very distressed. Hey, the angels can't die, that's five thousand gold coins each!, he immediately ordered dozens of druid monks and archers to concentrate on shooting the dwarven and centaur warriors, and finally withdrew the angelic forces.
But the royal griffin army is trapped in the city and can't get out!
Heavy cavalry, swordsmen, and pikemen had already rushed to the city, erecting pontoon bridges over the moat, covering the siege engines from crashing against the gates, and catapults firing boulders at the city.
But the rain of rockets from the arrow towers of the gates also knocked down a large number of pikemen.
Gu Shiyu knew that he had made a big mistake. He shouldn't have taken the liberty of ordering the angelic forces to storm the enemy city! In order to save the angels, he threw in the royal griffons, and in order to save the royal griffons, he had to order all the troops to forcibly attack the city!
But everything is irretrievable.
What he didn't expect was that the archangels, who had been specially cared for, were bored watching the battle, and actually began to pray and resurrected a dozen royal griffins.
After the battle, Gu Shiyu lost about sixty pikemen, forty archers, and nearly half of the royal griffons were killed.
This was the strongest time for Gu Shiyu's troops, but it was also the most casualty one, which made him feel very distressed.
He wanted to burn the corpses of these warriors as firewood, especially since they were dead wood roots. But seeing the hostile eyes of the inhabitants of the city, he had no choice but to hold back, and ordered the corpses to be buried according to the custom of the forest castle, and strictly ordered the troops to prohibit disturbing the people.
The forest castle is very beautiful and peaceful. Centaur stables, magic springs, deadwood arches, forest sanctuaries nestled in dense forests, and mysterious magic pools and lucky springs. Surrounded by rows of dwarven cottages and elaborate wooden huts of elven archers, the smoke curls and smokes, making it an idyllic setting. The castle is built on the mountain, and there are many huge caves on the cliffs of the cliffs, and some young green dragons hovering in the twilight.
That should be the Dragon Cliff, and the green dragon will be the golden dragon after it grows up, and like the archangel, it is a powerful warrior of the epic level.
Gu Shiyu really wanted to recruit a few golden dragons to see, but he had already asked Eufrittin to recruit all the soldiers in the barracks, and the next batch of trainee soldiers would not graduate until the end of this week, so he had to wait a few more days.
There were also not many gold coins left in the castle, and even the capital of Eufritinne was so poor, it seemed that Gu Shiyu's plan to rob him had completely failed.
The Scout Starry Night reported that Altyn had also succeeded in capturing the city of Glen without encountering any resistance.
This is so strange, where did Everitin go? Gu Shiyu thought that there would be a bloody battle with Everitin, but he didn't expect to succeed so easily.
Filled with questions, he went to the prison to visit Everitin's deputy. During the siege of the city, Eufritin's lieutenant saw that the city was about to fall, and was about to abandon the city and flee, but when he was caught by Gu Shiyu, the tears of the gods shot him off his horse with an arrow, and then he was tightly bound by the swordsmen who swarmed up, and is now humming and screaming in the prison.
"He's not going to die, is he?" Gu Shiyu asked the military doctor.
"Thankfully, he wasn't shot in the spot, but the arrow was enough for him, and it looked like he was going to be paralyzed in bed for a month or two. ”
Gu Shiyu nodded, leaned over and asked, "You are a hero, I will instruct them to treat you well so that you can recover as soon as possible." ”
"You are despicable! you are a kind of real fight with our lord on the battlefield, what kind of hero is a sneak attack!" the lieutenant shouted angrily, but the force was too strong, causing a violent cough, and blood oozed from the wound.
Gu Shiyu couldn't help but shake his head, how can dwarves have a virtuous nature, just like Youland, they blow their beards and stare at every turn.
"Okay, you tell me where he is, I'll fight him face-to-face and see who's the best!"
The dwarf closed his eyes and ignored him.
"Haha, I see, it must be Eufrittin who learned that I was going to fight him with a large army, and was so frightened that he peed his pants and fled faster than a rabbit, leaving you unlucky bastard to die. ”
The dwarf said angrily: "You can be proud, when he has conquered all your castles, he will come back to you for a decisive battle!"
Gu Shiyu was taken aback! Could it be that Eufrittin fell for his suspicious plan, thinking that he was going to attack York, and began to take the opportunity to sneak attack his territory?
No wonder this kid recruited all the soldiers of the Forest Castle!
The castles are just like this one, they're empty!
It's over! Gu Shiyu ran away, accidentally hit his head on the door frame, and didn't bother to rub it.
The dwarf laughed smugly and coughed violently.
Gu Shiyu ordered the scout as he ran: "Go to the city of the valley immediately, and ask General Altyn to come to the city of rain immediately!"
