Chapter 277: The News Brought by Tagger

Lorist now understood what it meant to underestimate the enemy and what it meant to have an accident, and in his heart he did regard those people who were cowering in the inner city as pigs and sheep to be slaughtered. Originally www.biquge.info, I just wanted to wait for Ovikis's Thunderbolt Trebuchet to arrive after dawn, use trebuchets to destroy the crossbow at the head of the inner wall, and then launch an attack after the enemy lost the ability to attack from a distance, and after occupying the four walls of the inner city in one fell swoop, you can settle accounts with the slave owners, slave merchants and slave catchers in the city......

It's just that I didn't expect those people and dogs in the inner city to jump over the wall in a hurry, and they fought for their lives, gathered all the slaves in the inner city, modified some shield carts, erected the door panels on the trolleys, and forced the slaves to attack the Norton family's defensive cordon outside the back city gate. Immediately after that, the whole city swarmed out, tens of thousands of people pressed on it together, no matter how many dead and wounded, they rushed with their heads down, rushed through the defensive camp, and then ran all over the mountains in the direction of the royal city of Hamidas......

Lorist suddenly remembered a joke, during the Liberation War in the previous life, the bald man scolded his subordinates for not even being as good as pigs, tens of thousands of pigs and rabbits had to be caught for two days and three nights, and you tens of thousands of people cleaned up the rabbits in one morning, which is simply waste......

But now the enemies who escaped from the inner city learn from the pigs is really enough to give Lorist a headache, the pigs will only escape, but these enemies will resist, and they are also anxious when they die, and the Norton family forces who can't escape are fighting for their lives, including silver and gold swordsmen, and the Norton family forces who are chasing and intercepting for a while have also suffered a lot of casualties.

Lorist had no choice but to send an order to let all the family soldiers form a formation and then go to hunt down, and when they encounter an enemy that cannot be controlled, they will protect themselves first, drag the enemy and wait for the arrival of the family knights. Here he was busy rushing to help, and he urgently ordered the knights of the Tiger Rosmarek and other clans, who had just arrived at the dock area at night and had camped and rested, to come to reinforcements.

He was busy until the afternoon before he ordered to blow the trumpet and collect the troops, and in the evening everyone gathered in the big tent, and after receiving the casualty report, Lorist was eager to slap himself twice, with more than 2,900 casualties, of which 824 were killed in battle, almost a battalion was destroyed, and most of the soldiers who died died heroically at the moment when the enemy's defensive line was broken through when the enemy broke through.

Lorist's face was cloudy, and his heart was extremely remorseful. When the old man's messenger came last night, he should have pretended to deliberate, and talked nonsense about compensation, and first dragged the enemy down, so that they could wait for death in the city in peace. Why did he clearly tell the enemy that his men would not let them live without mercy, frightened the old man and went back, and ordered Bodfinger to set up a view in front of the city wall, forcing the enemies in the inner city to take risks and fight up.

Lorist sighed, it was time for him to learn this lesson, to treat the enemy as inferior to pigs and dogs, and to be slaughtered cattle and sheep, only to be slapped in the face alive.

In addition to the strong troops arranged at the main gate of the dock area, the other three city gates are only equipped with a heavy armor barracks and a one-wheeled steel crossbow barracks, Lorist has always thought that a one-wheeled steel crossbow barracks with five hundred steel crossbows to block a city gate is more than enough, but forget that his family soldiers are not iron-beaten, they also need to rest. In the middle of the night, when the enemy forced those slaves to push their shield carts to attack the defensive position, there were less than 100 steel crossbows that could fire at the first time, and in this way, the enemy approached and broke through the defensive cordon......

"My lord, we've got the count. "Bodfinger walked into the tent with a bandage on his left shoulder and was wounded again.

In the middle of the night, when the enemy broke through at the third watch, Bodfinger was the first to rush to the rescue, which happened to save the life of the old man Injerek. At that time, the old man was forced to jump up and down by the three great swordsmen, and he couldn't escape, but fortunately, Bodfinger arrived and took a great swordsman, which finally made Ingerek breathe a sigh of relief......

Compared to the Great Swordsman, Bodfinger is still a cut behind, but with his strong defensive swordsmanship, he can barely deal with the enemy. Then Tiger Rose arrived on horseback, and this time the form changed drastically, and one of the two great swordsmen who fought with Ingerek abandoned his partner and fled, and the remaining one was beaten to death by Tiger Rose and Ingerek.

At this time, the great swordsman who was holding with Bodfinger was in a hurry and wanted to run, but Bodfinger gave up his life to entangle him, and fought with a sword on his left shoulder to hold on until the arrival of Injerek and Tiger Ross, and the great swordsman could only die in despair.

"Say it. Lorist said, clutching his head.

"My lord, there are seven thousand four hundred and thirty-two corpses left behind by the enemy, of whom nearly five thousand died on the road from the city gate to the defensive position during the breakout, but more than seventeen hundred of them were those of the slaves. After a day of searching, we captured more than 35,000 prisoners, most of them women and children. ”

In the original days, there were about 70,000 enemies in the inner city, but now only more than 40,000 were captured dead or alive, and nearly 30,000 enemies escaped. Now Lorist only hopes that Josk and Yuri's scout camp will be able to hold off the enemy, who has horses and crossbows that can shoot from a distance, and should be able to deal heavy damage to those enemies......

This time, the scout camp also came with one man and one horse, not one person and two horses, and because of the difficulty of sea transportation, this can only be the case. Even Ovikis' Thunderbolt Battalion, which was originally a two-horse cart, was reduced to one horse and one cart, and the speed was more than doubled. If there is another cavalry battalion, none of the enemies who will be able to escape from the Ouroboros to ensure a breakthrough in the inner city will be able to escape. It's a pity that except for Tiger Ross who brought his beloved horse on board, even Lorist led by example and did not have a mount.

"The captured captives were handed over to Hickede, and he asked him to single out the women among them to form a military * prostitute * battalion, and let the newly formed slave garrison battalion practice their hands, and those who were wronged were avenged, and those who had revenge were avenged, and their heads were cut off and embalmed. Rose, you supervise this. ”

"Yes, sir. Rose stood up.

"Malek, I'll leave it to you to clean up the inner city. After the clean-up, all the seized property is stored in the inner city first, as well as grain and grass, and the grain and grass in the slave camp will be replenished once every three days, understand?"

"Yes, sir. Malek replied.

"Borg, you reorganize our family armament, leaving two heavy armoured barracks and a one-wheeled steel crossbow barracks here to defend the inner city and watch over the slave camps, and the rest for three days before heading to the royal city of Hamidas. Lorist commanded.

"Yes, my lord. ”

A guard outside the tent came in and reported: "My lord, Tagger reports to you. ”

Hmm, why is Targar still on the island? Lorist was stunned, more than two months ago, he ordered Targar and El to infiltrate the Kingdom of Haneabada through the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, on the one hand, to learn about the information of Port Nubit and the royal city of Hamidas, and on the other hand, to see if he could ransom those captured family knights and civil officials. As a result, after waiting for two months without hearing from him, he had to take the risk of sending troops. I can't imagine that Tagger has been on the island for so long, so what about El?

"My lord, El and I pretended to be the nephews of the high-ranking officials of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce, and when we arrived here, we found that the name of the Peterson Chamber of Commerce was not easy to use in the port of Nubit. Because the business relationship with the Kingdom of Haneyabada is close to the Chikde Chamber of Commerce, the Peterson Chamber of Commerce has little contact with them, and the slave owners and slave traders here do not buy it at all. However, they treat the two of us as young masters who have come out to see the world, and they treat each other politely. ”

Even though he was snubbed by the big slave owners and slave traders in Nubit Harbor, Tagar still got into the mix, and he befriended the middle and lower class people here, and soon got a lot of information. For example, how many slave owners, nobles, and slave traders attacked Hirowas, how many outcast slaves were allocated, and where they worked.

Tagar even kept a record of the amount of supplies in the various warehouses and trading houses in Nubit Harbor, and rescued more than a dozen residents of Shiroas Island through ransom and other means. It was only when Targer wanted to go back and report to Lorist that he was dumbfounded, there was no suitable ship......

The ship of the Petersen Chamber of Commerce had sent the two of them to the port of Nubit and traded the goods they had carried with them, but now Targer wanted to go back and could not find a suitable merchant ship for a while. In particular, those friends who have made him have warned him not to take a random boat, and especially to remember not to take those merchant ships that do not know the details or have slave hunting teams, because if you go to such a merchant ship with a dozen slaves, most of them female slaves, you are likely to be attacked by these sailors or slave hunters at sea, and then you will be thrown into the sea and the body will be wiped out.

It is better to stay for a little more than a month, and wait for the arrival of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce's fleet at the end of October before taking their ship back to safety. So Targar had to stay in Port Nubit and wait for Lorist's arrival. It's just that he was unlucky, and he was coerced into the inner city by a few friends, and finally hid and escaped when the people in the inner city broke through. When the Norton soldiers entered the inner city and he identified himself, Lorist went to pursue the enemy again, so he had to settle the inhabitants he had bought back first, and dragged it on until now.

"The fleet of the Chicked Chamber of Commerce will be here at the end of October?" said Lorlist.

"Yes, my lord, I have received information that the fleet of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce comes to Nobit Harbor every April and October to trade. Last April, the Third Young Master of the Chikde Chamber of Commerce also came, and then got drunk at the reception banquet and revealed that they wanted to fight our island of Hilowas, only to have to be interrupted due to the glass war. He also said that our family gathered tens of thousands of displaced people to develop and build on Hilovas Island, which is why those slave owners and slave traders would take up the idea of these displaced people and attack Hilowas. Tugger said.

"Hehe, Chikde Chamber of Commerce, Third Young Master, what a plan to kill people with a knife. "Lorist understands, let's settle the account slowly.

"Where's El?" asked Lorlist.

"My lord, El has gone to the royal city of Hamidas. This time, more than 1,300 of our soldiers were captured on the island of Hilowas, and in addition to the more than thirty who were tortured and killed on the ship, the rest were all escorted to the Colosseum of Hamidas King, including Knight Schrader and Knight Jim......"

Targar cried: "My lord, hurry up and save them, there are less than two or three hundred of them alive now." They were driven to fight monsters in the gladiatorial arena and fight other slaves, and too many people had died. At last month's founding celebration, more than 500 of our family soldiers died in the gladiatorial arena, and El and I sat on it and watched their tragic deaths. The spectators also thought that they had not killed well enough and demanded that all the wounded be put to death...... All the people in the royal city deserve to die, my lord......"

Targer's words were like boiling oil poured on the flames, and all the knights of the family in the big tent stood up angrily and shouted to clear the battle, demanding that troops be sent to attack the royal city of Hamidas immediately.

Lorist waved his hand with a gloomy face, stopping the noise in the big tent: "Don't make noise, the royal city of Hamidas is there, don't even think about running away from any of them, our family will give them revenge." I would also like to send troops immediately, but you have to think about it, since the landing yesterday morning, our family soldiers have not been well rested at all, so the soldiers on the defensive front slept so hard last night that they were caught off guard by the enemy and broke out.

It takes a day to get from Nubit Harbor to Hamidas King City, and if you go out in the morning, so many enemies will be able to spread the news to Hamidas King City tomorrow, I believe that the people there will no longer have any heart to watch the gladiatorial show, and our family knights and soldiers in the gladiatorial arena of Hamidas King City should be safe for the time being. Now take a good rest for three days, recharge your energy and set out to conquer the city of Hamidas to avenge the heroic soldiers of our family!"

"Yes, sir. ”

"Targer, what is El's staying in the royal city?" asked Lorlist.

"My lord, El plays the role of a young master who is obsessed with swordsmanship, and buys off the steward of the gladiatorial arena, so that those family soldiers and Schrader Knight Jim Knight will act as their opponents to practice swordsmanship, so that they can avoid being selected to be a gladiator in the gambling between the great slave owner and the nobles, and die in vain. During the last founding celebration, in order to protect Knight Schrader in the gladiatorial arena, Knight Rafat was killed in battle, and Knight Jim and Tork Captain were wounded......"

"What about Schreid?" Lorist asked worriedly. Knight Rafat was a captain of the 3rd Guards Battalion, who was ordered to lead a team to support Shiratori when the island of Hirowas was attacked, but was wounded and comatose and became a prisoner. It's just that he didn't expect him to die heroically in the gladiatorial arena to protect Shi Fatzi.

"Knight Schrad is fine, only slightly injured, but it is like this, the owner of the gladiatorial arena suspects that he is a big man, and El wants to redeem him but is refused, so he can only go in every day to visit him in the name of practicing swordsmanship. El wanted to connect all the slave gladiators in the gladiatorial arena and find an opportunity to resist and fight his way out of the city of Hamidas. But it was difficult, there were two great swordsmen in the gladiatorial arena, and the slave gladiators had no weapons, so they couldn't ......succeed," Tugger replied.

Shi Fat Man was still alive, and Lorist finally breathed a sigh of relief. Injerek stood up: "My lord, why don't I infiltrate the city of Hamidas and rescue the Shredder knights first?"

It is about the lifelong happiness of his precious granddaughter, in order to prevent his precious granddaughter from becoming a widow at a young age, and also for his lovely little great-great-grandson not to lose his father, this old man can be regarded as fighting.

"You can't. Lorist shook his head: "You are sitting at the back gate, I don't know how many people are looking at you." As long as you appear in the royal city of Hamidas, it is guaranteed that the Great Sword Master will come to your door immediately. You don't want to die yourself, but don't make Schrader and them involved. ”

The old man sat down dumbfounded, knowing that Lorist was telling the truth.

"I'm going to go, except for the old man's messenger last night, the people in the inner city don't know what I look like. Pay attention when you clean up the body, and then look among the captives to see if the old man has escaped. If I don't escape, I can go to the city of Hamidas and see if I can get rid of Sredder and the others first. Lorist said.

"Your Excellency, you can't risk ......," the knights of the clan in the big tent stood up and persuaded one after another.

"That's it, don't talk about it, it's the right thing to put the troops in order and recuperate as soon as possible, and the troops must be sent in three days. Don't worry about me, with my skills, I believe that there is no great swordsman in Hamidas Royal City to be my opponent, and maybe I can still make some trouble for the enemy. Lorist laughed.

"Targer, you cooperate with Malek first, point out the valuable treasury of Nubit Harbor, and transport the belongings into the inner city for storage first......

Tagle stood up and saluted, "Yes, sir." ”
