Chapter 144: Here it is
After Gawain led the people away, Situ Jin made the city wall full of archers, although it was completely dark, but Situ Jin only ordered a few dark lights to be turned on, and then stood on the city wall with Fielding to observe the movement.
Sure enough, after a while, a roaring sound was heard from the distant ground, and then, a large black group of men and horses galloped from a distance, and when they were less than two miles away from the city wall, the other side suddenly slowed down, and the roar gradually stopped.
Situ Jin's expression changed, and he said to Fielding: "It is already certain that these people are coming for Tias, and they suddenly slowed down when they reached the border, because they wanted to attack us unprepared. ”
"How is this good?!" Fielding looked worried: "All the officers and soldiers of Tias add up to more than 12,000 people, but I see that the other side has at least 100,000 horses, with our people, how long can we stay in this city? Not to mention that there are Vaal people at the north gate to attack, although the number is not large, but the Vaal people are born with brute strength, and one person can beat five of us." ”
Speaking of this, Fielding sighed, "Hey! Tias is in danger!"
Seeing that Fielding was so pessimistic, Situ said carefully: "Fielding, don't mess with yourself first! For today's plan, we must immediately send people back to the imperial capital to ask for troops, and now Tias is very important to the empire, I believe that the imperial capital will send troops soon!"
The gloom on Fielding's face still did not dissipate, but said: "Tias and the imperial capital are far away, and there is a "small peak mountain" in the middle, even if you send someone to ask for troops, it will take ten days and half a month at the earliest, not to mention that the army is far away, and it will take some time to prepare, can we, the ten thousand, be able to hold this city for half a month?"
Situ Jin's face turned pale, and he said: "It's hard to say whether you can defend it or not, but you must defend it! You must know that there are two cities behind Tias, and these two cities are blocked on this side of Xiaofeng Mountain together with Tias, if Tias is attacked, these two cities will definitely not be able to be saved! So Tias City must not be lost!"
Hearing Situ Jin's words, Fielding suddenly came to his senses.
Tias is an important border town, so there are tens of thousands of horses, but the two towns behind him must not have many city defenses, if Tias is breached, the empire will lose three towns at once. If this is the case, he, the commander of Tias's city defense, will be a sinner for the ages!
Thinking of this, Fielding's expression finally stopped being negative, he looked at Situ Jin, and said, "Then according to Young Master Situ's opinion, what should we do now?"
"As far as I am concerned, the enemy must not know by now that we have discovered their whereabouts. Situ Jin's blue eyes emitted a special brilliance in the middle of the night, which made people dare not look directly: "In this case, we will make a plan, let the artillerymen and archers ambush, and when the enemy approaches, we will attack the enemy together!"
Fielding's eyes lit up, and he said, "That's very good!" After speaking, he said: "But even so, we can only block the enemy for a while, the other party's 100,000 troops and horses, if we attack the city strongly, we will definitely not be able to hold it for long!"
"Don't worry!" Situ Jin said: "I have just set up a defensive formation at the gate of the city, with this formation, it will not be a problem to block the enemy for a week!"
"Defensive Array?" Fielding's face was full of suspicion, and then he thought that he had heard that Situ Jin seemed to be a Formation Talisman Master from somewhere, and he didn't believe it very much after hearing it, the word Array Talisman was too ethereal for Fielding!
He had never seen a formation talisman master, so he didn't believe in the saying that "you can attack the enemy for a while, and you can defend the enemy for a while" that is prevalent on the mainland.
Although he heard Situ Jin say these words in person, Fielding still had some doubts in his heart.
However, because he respected Situ Jin in his heart, he didn't say anything, just called someone and arranged for him to rush back to the imperial capital immediately and report Tias's current situation to the imperial capital.
But it was said that less than a kilometer from the west gate of the city of Tias, a large army of military horses was stationed here. These people are the 100,000 horses led by General Randall of the "Uta Country" and King Teton of the Vaal Clan.
Five full days have passed since Randall and Tyton agreed to send Tias together, and today is the day when the two of them agreed to raise troops.
Before dawn in the morning, the 50,000 troops and horses of the "Uta Kingdom" had already completed the rendezvous with the 50,000 army led by the Vaal King Tydon himself, and then the 100,000 army marched straight to Tias.
Because I was afraid that if I was in too much of a hurry, the army would be tired! In addition to the weather, the army only drove at a normal speed along the way, and only slightly increased its speed when it was about to reach the border area.
Arriving at the city of Tias at this time is exactly what Randall and Teton want.
The spies sent had returned, and Randall was standing in front of the army in armor and on horseback, and when he heard the spies report that there was no movement in the city of Tias, Randall laughed and said, "We came so suddenly, forgive them for not finding anything!"
Randall, as the first general of the "Uta Country", a well-known three-star general on the mainland, it stands to reason that this kind of war should not be led by him personally, but because he is determined to win the city of Tias, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he insists on leading his troops and horses to attack Tias in person.
Tyton rode another horse and stood beside Randall, and said in a thick voice: "General Randall don't have to worry! Before coming, I have arranged for a small team of our army to cross the Doren Grand Canyon and feint to attack the north gate of Tias, I believe that all the officers in Tias City should be paying attention to the north gate of the city at this moment!"
"Oh?" Randall's eyes lit up when he heard Tyton's words, and then he smiled and praised: "King Tyton is really resourceful, and he has already made arrangements in advance!"
Teton's face remained unchanged, obviously useless to Randall's words: "General Randall, the soldiers are very fast! Since we have arrived, we should send troops quickly, and if we are late, I am afraid that the defense will change! I think, let us Vaal people take the lead!"
Randall smiled and said, "For the sake of caution, let's send a team of troops to attack the city immediately!
Listening to Randall's words, Tyton nodded, no objection.
Soon, the two men each sent a lieutenant general, each with 5,000 men, towards the gate of Tias.
At this time, six thousand city guards had gathered at the west gate of Tias, and half of them were already lying in ambush within the city walls.
There was no moon tonight, and it was pitch black as far as the eye could see.
Because he couldn't see anything, Fielding's expression was a little restless, and at this moment, he saw Situ Jin's right ear suddenly shake a few times, and then he said, "It's here!"
