Chapter 127: Death
"Withdraw after a month of defending Liyang City?" "The lord of Liyang City, Cicela, looked at Meng Fan in front of him in surprise. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Marshal Claude, the rear of Liyang City is the royal capital Cangyun City, if the Bretan army captures Cangyun City, then the Gilgia Kingdom will be ......"
"Sisera, Lord Cicela, the Bretans can't capture Cangyun City. Meng Fan handed the empty wine glass in his hand to his subordinate Tiberius standing behind him.
"Now the commander of the Brettan army is Christian Sias, Christian is the eldest son of King Brunn Sias of Brettan, as the crown prince, Christian has no experience in commanding the army in battle, and it is said that Christian is very eager to win this war, Lord Cicela, I have already made arrangements, as long as the Brettan army besieges Cangyun City, it will be the moment for our army to fight the Bretans. Meng Fan replied with confidence.
Looking at the black-haired man in front of him, the lord of Liyang City, Cicela, admired this youngest marquis of the Gilgia Kingdom from the bottom of his heart, five years ago, in the Red Flame Plain, it was Meng Fan who thought of a strategy to defeat the Bretan army, and was able to win victory from the hands of Voncis Varuan, who was known as the "undefeated army god", I am afraid that few people on the Qinglan Continent could do it.
Cicela believed that if the black-haired man in front of him could not defeat the Bretan army, then no one else would be able to save the Kingdom of Gilgias.
"Marshal Claude, if you have any needs, please do not hesitate to give orders, and our Liyang City will definitely fully cooperate with your actions. Cicela spoke.
"Lord Shecisella, please rest assured, Lord Sisera, even if we abandon Liyang City, it won't be long before we can return here, I want you to guarantee that there will definitely not be the slightest loss in the territory of Liyang City. Meng Fan said with a smile.
――――――――――――――――――――――
The royal capital of Kyrgia, Cangyun City.
On the fifth day after Meng Fan led the army to withdraw into Liyang City, in the palace of Cangyun City.
"Your Majesty......" lay on the edge of the bed, Queen Freya wept silently, and King Landry Pars of Gilgia lay on the bed with a white cloth covering his face.
Just half an hour ago, Landry Pars, the king of Gilgias, one of the nine human kingdoms in the Qinglan Continent, died of illness.
"Lift Her Highness up. Prime Minister Halson motioned for the maids to pick up the blonde woman beside the bed.
Freya, who was held by the maids, held a handkerchief wet with tears, and her face was grief-stricken.
"Use an ice coffin to hold His Majesty's body. Prime Minister Halson said to his men that an ice coffin had already been placed in the king's bedchamber.
Now, the Kingdom of Gilgias is facing the invasion of the Kingdom of Bretan, and if the news of the death of King Landry Pars comes out at this time, it will inevitably affect the morale of the army, so Prime Minister Halsen decided to temporarily block the news of the king's death and save the king's body in an ice coffin.
"Your Highness, please do not grieve excessively, Your Majesty has gone to the side of the God of Light, and in the Holy Land of Light, His Majesty Landry will always be free from sickness and enemies. Halson came to the queen's side and whispered comfort.
Looking at the king, who had been carried into the ice coffin by her attendants, Freya turned away and wiped the tears from her face with her handkerchief.
"Your Royal Highness, the Kingdom of Gilgias is now facing a great crisis, the Bretan army has taken Lanyue City and is attacking Liyang City with all its might, Your Highness the Queen, you must be strong, for the Kingdom of Gilgias, for the sake of His Highness Warren...... Harson said, looking at the blonde woman in front of him.
Looking up at the Prime Minister, Freya nodded slightly.
Half a month passed quickly, and at the end of October 7144, after besieging the city of Liyang for twenty days, the Bretan army successfully captured the city east of the capital of the king of Gilgias.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ...... "Amid the cheers of hundreds of thousands of Bretan soldiers, Christian, the commander of the Bretan Army, rode a group of white horses into Liyang City.
Christian was joined by the generals of Bretan's army, who rode a maroon horse behind Prince Christian.
In the Lord's Mansion of Liyang City, the commander of the Bretan army Christian sat above the conference table, and on Christie's left hand sat General Leighton, and on the right hand side of the commander of the Bretan army sat a blonde man with clear eyebrows, this blonde man in his twenties was named Harrent, and Harendt was Christian's attendant.
The prince's chamberlain was not originally qualified to sit at military meetings, but Harlant was trusted by Prince Christian, who not only often took Harlant with him, but also allowed Harlant to attend military meetings.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, after the 150,000 Kyrgidian troops fled from Liyang City, they withdrew into the royal capital Cangyun City. A Bretan Army general in charge of intelligence scouting stood up and reported.
"How many troops are there in Cangyun City, the capital of the king of Gilgias?" asked Christian, the commander of the Bretan Army, who was sitting above, Prince Christian, who was Chinese New Year's Eve five years old, tall and with light brown hair and two well-trimmed mustaches on his lips.
"Your Highness, there were originally 50,000 Kyrgynian royal guards in Cangyun City, and after the Kyrgynian army in Liyang City fled to Cangyun City, there should be 200,000 Kyrgynian troops in Cangyun City now. The general replied.
"Hmm. Christian put his hands in his arms and leaned back in his chair with his legs crossed together.
"What do you generals think our army should do next?" asked Christian, looking at the dozen or so Bretin generals sitting at the conference table.
"His Royal Highness Christian, of course we will continue to attack Cangyun City, as long as our army takes Cangyun City and captures Landry Pars, the king of Gilgias, then our Bretan Kingdom will basically win this war. A Bretan army general said.
"That's right, in the past six months since our army started the war with the Gilgidian Kingdom, we have won consecutive battles, the Red Flame Fortress, Lanyue City, Liyang City, these three important Gilgidian towns have been conquered by our army, and now we should take this momentum to take Cangyun City, the capital of the king of Gilgia, in one fell swoop. Another general of the Bretan Army spoke.
Most of the Bretan generals present were immersed in the joy of taking Liyang City, and these Bretan generals thought that they should take advantage of the victory to pursue and capture Cangyun City, the capital of the king of Gilgias.
"General Lieton, what do you think?" Prince Christian looked at a brown-haired general sitting on his left.
"Your Highness, our army has captured three important cities in the Kingdom of Gilgias one after another, thousands of miles of land, I think our army should now hold the fruits of victory......" Lieton's thoughts were a little different from those of the generals of the Bretan Army present.
"His Royal Highness Christian, now that our army's supply line is more than a thousand miles, it will take nearly twenty days to transport grain and grass materials from the Bretan Kingdom to reach the front line, we might as well use Liyang City as a base to control the Gilgidian land occupied by our army, and wait until we have hoarded enough grain and grass materials in Liyang City, and then we will make the next battle plan. Liton said as he looked at Prince Christian, the commander of the Brettan Army, who was sitting above.
