Chapter 304: Conspiracy and Frame-up

It didn't take much time for the Marquis to get the news and bring the captured baron to his eyes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The rear army only sent people to him in an afternoon. Listening to the guy who sent someone over describe the battle, even the Marquis couldn't help but smile bitterly and shake his head. This Viscount Antonio, his luck is not ordinarily good, and even such an arrangement can allow him to make such a contribution.

From the beginning to the present, the principality has not caught any nobles with titles on the other side. Even though the two sides had fought three face-to-face battles, not a single nobleman had ever been captured, either his own or the enemy's. Now the sudden appearance of a captured nobleman was the brilliance on the face of the Marquis.

However, the Marquis was more interested in Meng Han's sturdy carriage. He had heard from the reports of the people who came that the carriage had been intact after such a terrible magical attack, and even the three people sitting in it did not have any scratches, was this still a carriage?

Unlike His Royal Highness's happiness, His Royal Highness simply wanted to smash the cup. Why is it not good for these damn guys to attack anyone, they have to attack Meng Han. Since you have made up your mind to go on a long-distance attack, why not bring more people, bring more master magicians, and just wipe out Meng Han. But it's just a pitiful number, and even a magician doesn't send one seriously, so you can imagine how powerful a magician can be who can be defeated by Meng Han and her two magic apprentices who are not handmaidens?

had already planned to completely put Meng Han in the rear and completely block the channels for him to make meritorious contributions in this war, but there were still people who sent the credit to the door, and there was a living nobleman. Although he is the lowest baron, he is also a nobleman, and this is the first aristocratic prisoner of war since the beginning of the war, even if it is to boost morale, it must be vigorously promoted.

Since this can't block Meng Han's path to meritorious service, he has no choice but to transfer him to the front line, and Meng Han must not be allowed to preserve his strength so easily. His Highness thought so and did the same. The day after His Highness received the report, Meng Han and Leo were pulled to the front line. This time the army was facing a heavily fortified castle, and it was a castle that had to be captured in a short time.

The Celestial Wolf Castle is the territory of the principality, and it is also the territory of a certain nobleman, but it was caught off guard by these invaders, and there was a strong castle, but there were not enough soldiers to defend it, and it quickly fell. After the complete capture of the castle, the enemy strengthened and repaired the castle and became a base for their army.

After all, the principality occupies a geographical advantage, although the enemy's army is large, but it lacks a unified command, and the logistics supply is also insufficient, in the first few contact battles, the principality has relied on the advantage of the right time, place and people, and annihilated more than 20,000 enemy troops. Of course, this number contains the exploits of this Meng Han, and Meng Han's team alone has arranged 8,000 of them, and they are all elite cavalry.

Even if the entire principality was poured, there were only 10,000 regular cavalry. The 4,000 people under the command of Leo are just a dozen lords' private army, and if they are one-on-one, they may be able to compete with the elite of the army, and if the 4,000 private army is against the 4,000 well-trained cavalry, it is definitely a matter of death. Therefore, they can only be called private armies.

Although the enemy is a combined force of five principalities, there are eight thousand elite cavalry missing at once, and this loss is enough for some guys in those principalities to feel distressed to the point of coronary heart attack. Under the steady progress of the dukes, some troops of several principalities have joined forces and occupied the Sirius Castle together.

The enemy in the Sky Wolf Castle has more than 20,000 people at the moment, most of them are infantry, and there are a small number of cavalry less than a thousand. The inhabitants of the castle have long since been driven out of the castle, and now the castle is full of enemies.

Under the battle between the two sides, the principality also lost almost 5,000 people, but 5,000 to 20,000, or the principality still had the upper hand. More than 40,000 troops, plus almost 20,000 private troops brought by various lords, and more than 60,000 people surrounded the castle, just waiting to be captured in one fell swoop.

The corps must capture the castle as quickly as possible, because the temporary commander of the invaders is now hiding in the castle, and the surrounding enemy forces have begun to move in this direction, and by tomorrow at the latest, the corps will face an army of more than 60,000.

Originally, His Royal Highness was still complacent because he could buy high-quality weapons from Meng Han's hands, but after this matter was reported to His Majesty the Grand Duke, he received a scolding from His Majesty the Grand Duke. His Royal Highness was very unconvinced: "As long as we can buy this batch of weapons, we can greatly increase our strength!"

"It's good that our strength has increased, but, *** our enemy's strength has increased even more! Do you have water in your brain? Do you still want to save that guy's life?" His Majesty the Grand Duke hated to come to the front line in person to fan himself, a son who was militarily self-righteous. If he didn't really have people to trust, he would never let His Highness become the commander.

In the previous battles, His Royal Highness had fully proved the fact that he was not unfit to be a military commander, and the Marquis had rightfully seized the position of commander. Although the position of commander-in-chief is still that of His Royal Highness, the actual command has fallen into the hands of the Marquis.

"Viscount Antonio, since your personal guard is so powerful, then, I think, the task of attacking the most heavily guarded fortress is none other than you. His Royal Highness looked at Meng Han and suggested with ill intentions. With his words, a large number of nobles and generals immediately jumped out and echoed His Highness's speech.

"No matter how strong my army is, there are only two hundred people, and it is not appropriate to attack this kind of thing!" Meng Han's slow and logical words blocked His Highness's proposal back into his mouth. Everyone knows that two hundred people, for a castle guarded by 20,000 people, is nothing at all, and the reason for refusal cannot be faulted.

"I'm not talking about the fortification of the castle, but the lord's mansion inside!" His Royal Highness seemed to have expected Meng Han to say this, and said with a smile unhurriedly: "According to our intelligence, the temporary commander of the enemy who invaded us is in the City Lord's Mansion. The capture of the castle was done by our soldiers, but, in the end, the city lord's mansion must be the most heavily guarded place, and there are the most masters, and we need to deal with the wolf castle before their reinforcements arrive. ”

When these words came out, even the Marquis agreed. Time waits for no one, and in fact, the Marquis has been having a headache for this. After all, everyone knows what it means for a few masters, especially a few magicians, to be in this kind of war. If someone can contain the opponent's masters, it will definitely make it easier to achieve strategic goals.

The army has been slaughtered to the Sirius Castle, and if the enemy army is gathered because of retreat, then not only will it face the problem of declining morale, but it is likely that it will face a frustrating defeat.

At this time, His Royal Highness made this suggestion, and whether it was His Highness's people or His Royal Highness the Marquis's people, they had already begun to consider it. Lord Marquis values Meng Han, but it does not mean that everyone values Meng Han, and there are many people who are jealous or hateful to him, even on Lord Marquis's side. The circle is a big circle and a small circle, maybe in a big circle, but not in a small circle, this is ***.

"Tony, come with me!" Lord Marquis looked at this situation, thought for a moment, and then called Meng Han out alone.

'We've got a tough fight ahead of us, Tony. The Marquis didn't go around in circles, and said his thoughts to Meng Han straightforwardly: "Although that guy obviously has bad intentions, I can't help but say that I really need your help. ”

Meng Han had already begun to regret a little, how could he be in a hurry to show his merit at this juncture, and as a result, he immediately caught up with such a battle. However, when the Marquis had spoken to him in such a way, he had to respond.

"Let my people attack the Lord's Mansion?" Meng Han sighed in his heart, but there didn't seem to be any expression on his face, and his voice was very calm: "It's just the Lord's Mansion, right?"

This time, the Marquis only nodded heavily, and did not speak. However, there was a kind of expectation in his eyes.

"What master does the other party have?" Meng Han asked carefully, if it wasn't clear, once the other party had a few peak magicians or took out a random magic saint, it was estimated that his side would be completely wiped out.

"There are about four mages in the army, but there are three on our side. If it is one-on-one, it is estimated that it can contain three, and if the other party is cautious, he will definitely put a magister in the lord's mansion. The others were two junior Dharma Saints, as well as more than twenty peak Great Sword Masters. "Lord Marquis has also carefully learned about the other party's information, and the information provided by these underground guilds is also mentioned. With such strength, even if Meng Han's personal guards are against them, it is difficult to say the number of winners and losers.

"We also have a small number of superior masters, but the siege is not as good as the defense, and there may be a lot of casualties. Once again, Lord Marquis recounted a little reason why Meng Han needed to do it.

"Okay!" Meng Han nodded: "It's just the City Lord's Mansion!"

The two returned to the command tent, and the Marquis announced the order on the spot, and Meng Han also gladly accepted the order. I thought that a battle would need to be arranged soon, but His Highness suddenly stopped it.

"Slow!" Everyone's eyes were attracted by His Highness, who looked at Meng Han and said with a smile: "Attacking the Lord's Mansion is very important, if you can't conquer it, what does Viscount Antonio say?"

"No matter how important it is, it's also after the castle is conquered. Meng Han smiled: "If you can't even conquer the castle, it seems that there is no need to fight the lord's mansion or not." But since Your Highness says so, I can also guarantee that if you can't conquer the Lord's Mansion, it will be dealt with by military law!"

"That's good! His Highness smiled and said, "I happen to know a secret passage outside the city that leads to the Lord's Mansion!" If Viscount Antonio can ensure that the masters of the Lord's Mansion can be contained, maybe the pressure on us to attack the city will be much less." ”
