Chapter 796: King Guxide's besieging side temporarily retreated
The attack and defense of the ancient king of Gushid officially began, and the noble supporters on the side of Prince Sirolugus thought that they had no merit, so they asked Prince Sirolugus to have their nobles lead the troops to attack the city.
In fact, the reason why the nobles were so actively involved in siege warfare was because they really wanted to increase the goodwill and merit of the new king in the future.
On the other hand, the nobles have already figured out that the actual combat power of the royal capital is only about 30,000, and the other nearly 70,000 are minors who have no combat effectiveness, so they think that the probability of being able to break through the city wall today is 100%.
The nobles who supported the prince of Sirolugus thought that they might not have that opportunity to miss this battle, so now the nobles were most active in siege warfare.
Prince Sirolugus thought that Yan Tielong had just mentioned that there were still sects in the royal capital that had not made a move, so he thoughtfully agreed to the nobleman's request, and said that this time he would also take out a fief to reward those who performed well.
The nobles were very excited when they heard the promise of Prince Sirolugus, after all, the old kingdoms like them all belonged to them, and if there was no war, there was almost no possibility of expansion.
So the nobles gave material encouragement to the armed forces they led, and the soldiers heard that the nobles promised to break through the royal capital, and they not only got more spoils of war distribution, but also received cash rewards, and their morale suddenly exploded and looked at the royal capital.
And the nobles will have such a high commitment to their subordinates this time, that is also their shrewdness, for them the territory to give him and his descendants a steady stream of benefits, so they do not worry about money, after all, they also have competitors, and their opponents are their own people.
The nobles swung their swords, and their own armies marched towards the walls of the royal capital with battering rams and ladders, and in the face of the enemy, the soldiers defending the royal capital of Gushid fell the first wave of arrows.
However, the besieging soldiers soon found that the enemy's rain of arrows looked scary, but they found that the power of the rain of arrows was very limited, and they even found that many arrows fell less than half of their distance, which also made the soldiers and nobles realize that the enemy was really weak, so their morale was even stronger.
The defender of the city was also very helpless to see the young archers, and he wanted to let the young children go home, but he had the king's watchman behind him, and he had to let the children continue to fight.
The siege archers were protected by shield men, and they also had range, so they shot to suppress the enemy archers and slingers.
The archers defending the city had the geographical advantage of the walls, but they had many new recruits, many of whom were very young, and as a result, they were suppressed by the siege archers, which also made it very easy for the infantry using the ladder to climb the walls, which also led to the fact that the siege was falling more and more in battle.
The besieging nobles had already seen the victory, but suddenly a large number of soldiers who had already climbed the city wall were vigorously thrown out of the city wall, which also surprised the besieging nobles, so they sent people to find out what was going on on the city wall and why only their soldiers flew out of the city wall.
Soon, the besieging nobles learned from the probing soldiers that there were suddenly many elderly strong men on the city wall of the royal capital, and because of their appearance, many brothers who had already gone to the city wall were killed, and now the form of the city wall was very unfavorable to them.
Soon, Prince Sirolugus and the others learned that a large number of strong men had appeared on the city wall of the royal capital, and Yan Tielong directly thought that it was the sect in the royal capital that had done it, after all, they all knew very well that it was very difficult for the royal capital to find ten strong men now, how could there be hundreds, or even thousands, at once.
When Prince Sirolugus heard that Yan Tielong believed that it was the sect's move, he asked if there was any good way to solve it?
Yan Tielong thought about it for a while, thinking that letting the team retreat and let the enemy's medicine pass, and then attacking the city, after all, he thought that the potion of greatly increasing strength would definitely not last long.
When Prince Sirolugus heard Yan Tielong's proposal, he did not accept it, but instead gave a message to the besieging nobles, this message was that the defenders of the city were making the last struggle to use a short-term strength increase potion, as long as they persisted and defended the city.
The besieging nobles heard the prince's information, and they already knew that the prince did not want them to give up halfway, so they could only order their subordinates to continue the siege.
After an hour of fighting, only a small group of siege soldiers remained on the city walls, trembling and looking at the approaching Hercules, after all, they knew very well that one Hercules of the enemy could do more than a dozen of them.
Just as the besieging soldiers were in despair, the deflated balloons that looked like Mr. Bodybuilder Hercules became skinny.
The siege has already learned from the lords that the enemy has taken the potion to become stronger, and now when they see their changes, they know that the enemy's medicinal effect has expired, so they will not miss such a good opportunity to attack in parts.
In the face of the attack of the siege soldiers, the defenders who had passed the medicinal effect were powerless, and they all became the souls of the sword.
Just when the besieging soldiers thought that they would soon be victorious, hundreds of believers dressed in the costumes of the Holy Sect shouted collectively behind the city wall, and then they collectively transformed into red-skinned devils more than two meters tall, and then rushed towards the besieging soldiers.
Seeing the red-skinned devil through Xiaoyin's vision, Yan Tielong immediately recognized that the enemy sect was actually their old rival Anyusi cult, so he directly asked Prince Xiluo Lugus to collect his troops and not to cause fearless casualties, after all, Yan Tielong knew very well that the defense and strength of the red-skinned little devil were not something ordinary soldiers could deal with.
Ospine learned from Yan Tielong that there was a cult of Anyusi defending the city, and he also supported Yan Tielong's retreat proposal, with his words, retreating now can retain strength, once the evacuation is late, it will affect morale, and it will be very unfavorable to capture the king in the future.
Seeing that the two of them were very serious, Prince Sirolugus was very reluctant to let the soldiers blow the horn of retreat, and he chose to believe that the two in front of him would not harm him, after all, they were now companions of the community of interests.
The besieging nobles heard the sound of the horn of retreat, and they were very incomprehensible, but then they saw soldiers flying out of the city wall and the little devil in red skin, and they were glad that they had retreated early, after all, the more people they fell into, the greater the loss.
In the face of the retreat of the besieging party, the defenders did not pursue, the commander of the defending city knew very well that the soldiers who had just besieged the city were all nobles armed to fight, and the strength was a little strong for them, after all, they had just almost broken through the city for the second time;
Knowing from the retreating soldiers that the enemy had someone who could transform into monsters and was very powerful, Prince Sirolugus asked Yan Tielong how he knew about those monsters and how to deal with them?
Yan Tielong heard the other party's inquiry, and he whistled for Xiaoyin to fly to his shoulder, and then explained that he learned about the situation on the city wall through the lovely family on his shoulder.
Then Yan Tielong began to introduce the content of the Anyusi cult, but Prince Xiluo Lugus said that they knew that there was no trace of the Anyusi cult in the kingdom of Xiluoed, which made him very puzzled why the Anyusi cult suddenly appeared in his country.
Yan Tielong heard that Prince Xiluo Lugus was puzzled, and he said that he would not be surprised at all, in his words, the Anyusi Cult was a cult that sacrificed human lives, and if other sects were disguised to be destroyed long ago.
After listening to Yan Tielong's story, Prince Xiluo Lugusi did not bother with whether there was a Shore Yusi cult in his own country, but asked if he had to wait until a rainy day to attack the city? After all, Prince Xiluo Lugusi had already learned from Yan Tielong that the red-skinned little devil was afraid of water.
Yan Tielong heard Prince Sirolugus asking, he said that there was a way to make the rainy day come earlier, but he thought that it was the best time to rest for a few days and wait for the natural rainy day to besiege the city.
When a large group of people in the conference room heard Yan Tielong's remarks, they all looked curious about why Yan Tielong said that, and Ospine asked, "Tielong, why do you think it's better to wait a few days to attack the city?"
Yan Tielong responded that the first point was to give rest and treatment to the people besieging the city this time, and the second point was to sit and watch the forces in the royal capital split and attack each other, and said that the royal capital would surrender itself in a few days.
For Yan Tielong's first point of rest and healing, most of the nobles who participated in the battle expressed their support, but they let Yan Tielong talk a little nonsense for the second point, after all, they didn't know that Yan Tielong had already contacted some forces in the royal capital.
After the nobles left, Prince Sirolugus asked Yan Tielong what he meant by the second point?
Yan Tielong heard Prince Sirolugus asking, and he couldn't help but remind the other party that there were no magicians on the city wall today, didn't he feel strange?
Hearing Yan Tielong mention magicians, Prince Sirolugus remembered the last time he personally launched a siege on the city, but more than a dozen magicians used magic to collapse his tens of thousands of troops, and today there was not even a single magician on the city wall, which also made him a little puzzled.
But soon Prince Sirolugus was worried about the safety of those magicians, after all, if the magicians did not help, then the previous king would definitely trouble the magicians.
Regarding Prince Sirolugus's worries, Yan Tielong said that there was no need to worry, because now the magicians in the royal capital have lost their ability to fight due to epidemic diseases.
At the same time, the kingdom heard the soldiers' report that there was no magician in the siege battle just now, and he was very angry and sent soldiers to capture the magician and give him an explanation.
Soon, the soldiers hurriedly reported that the magicians were infected with a strange disease and could not participate in the battle.
The king did not believe that the magician was sick, and he thought that the magician was faking the disease, so he sent him a royal potion to treat the magician.
Soon, the royal potion was very solemn and reported to the kingdom that the magicians were infected with the corpse plague that was prevalent in the kingdom of Zhandes for a period of time, and the royal potion proposed to the kingdom to block the streets where the magicians were located to prevent the spread of the plague.
When the king heard the words of the royal apothecary, he was greatly surprised, so he ordered a thousand soldiers to block the street where the magician was, and not to let anyone out, if anyone did not obey the order, he would be killed directly, after all, the kingdom knew very well that once the plague spread, there was no need to attack the city outside, and he would be ruined by the plague.
