Chapter 234: Breaking the City (I)

The eunuchs of Yunliu have no status. Don't look arrogant as this kind of eunuch who spreads the word, Bivano wants to kill, so he kills it directly. Biffano waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed over, lifted the eunuch on his horse, and carried him to Biffano.

One of the soldiers drew his short sword and pressed it against the eunuch's neck.

"I asked, you answered. Don't answer, kill, answer slowly, kill, answer incorrectly, kill, lie, kill, I think you're lying, kill too. Do you understand?"

The eunuch struggled twice, but he didn't see his fear, but just sneered twice, and said, "Are people like us still afraid of death?"

"How is my father?" Bivanno ignored the eunuch's words. He began to ask questions.

"Escaped, Your Majesty is furious, you have sent troops into Titan, don't think you are amazing, now you are no different from me, you will die soon. ”

Bivano knew that this eunuch had a hard mouth, but he still didn't want to die, so he continued to ask, "How many people are coming from Yunliu?"

"By the time I was leaving, His Majesty had already deployed two forward battalions. ”

"The Striker Battalion has actually used the Royal Swordsmen!" Bivanno was also surprised. The Principality of Titan originally had a Yunliu garrison, and if you want to disintegrate the Agares family, you can use the border guards to do it. The Royal Swordsman Battalion is a rare and powerful army in Yunliu, and the rest of the elite are at sea.

As soon as the forward battalion moves, there are at least 30,000 people who will move with it, and the imperial capital is only 100,000 elites, and half of them will be dispatched at once, and they are not afraid that the local warlords will have evil thoughts?

Emperor Yunliu had twelve battalions of soldiers, and the main force was exactly 120,000 people, of which 20,000 had to be stationed in other places in turn, every three years, to maintain combat effectiveness. However, the number of Yunliu's auxiliary soldiers is relatively small, and the arch guards of the imperial capital rely on the royal swordsman battalion. Although there are also other formations of twenty-four battalions, they are all stationed in the provinces near the imperial capital, and if something really happens, it will take at least half a month to gather.

Emperor Yunliu did this, but there was a certain risk.

"Biffano. The Gauss family has been moved down by His Majesty, and His Majesty has reorganized his armament and gathered an army of 200,000, do you still think he can keep the Titan?"

"The Gauss family has fallen?!" Bivano's face changed this time. The Gauss family is the most powerful force in the empire, and the imperial capital has always been helpless against the Gauss family. After the new emperor ascended the throne, for more than ten years, it has been a policy of appeasement. The Gauss family rules over two large coastal provinces, and it is said that there are also secret islands on the sea to train the dead.

Whether it was wealth, military strength, and connections among the local aristocracy, the Gauss family did not have to be weak in royalty.

Since this Jupiter the Great succeeded to the throne, he has been a mediocre image, but he didn't expect it to be pretended! If he can bring down the Gauss family, this Jupiter the Great may have started planning before he succeeded to the throne.

Biffano looked at the stone castle in the distance, the tall castle went straight into the sky, and the highest spire was really inserted into a cloud of mist, and it was not clear to see.

The emperor knew his whereabouts, and the Red Fen Legion also knew his whereabouts! Bivanno suddenly had doubts about himself, could he still have a chance to turn over? Did the soldiers around him also have spies for Emperor Jupiter?

Impossible!!A personal soldier of the Agareth family. The selection was made from among the most loyal people, who had followed the Agareth family for dozens of generations, and no matter how miraculous Emperor Jupiter was, it was impossible for these soldiers to betray him.

"Kill it. As soon as Bivanor gave the order, the short sword of the soldier immediately sank into the eunuch's neck, and he pressed down, and blood sprayed on the ground.

Behind the eunuchs was an army of forty men, which was the defender of the castle, and when they saw that Bivanor had killed the emperor's messenger, these soldiers immediately rioted and fled towards the castle.

It was still a mile or so away from the castle, and Biffano made a gesture, and immediately another small group of his own soldiers chased after him, and fired arrows from his back, shooting the soldiers off their horses one by one.

Bivano urged his horse to Rex's chariot and whispered, "Your Highness." ”

Rex was in the car and saw everything clearly. Now it is impossible to blend into the castle of stone statues, and Biffano came to ask for help.

"What do you think, Salin?"

"If you are sure, you will do it, and if you are not sure, you will take a detour. ”

Rex thought about it carefully, and only after a while did he say to Bivanno outside the car: "Evacuate a few miles successively, let me calculate." ”

Biffano's team retreated five miles and began to set up a defensive camp. It's too close to the Statue Castle, and there is a chance that cavalry will charge the castle.

There were huge stone houses on the side of the road, but the roofs were made of wood, and the roofs were made of bark and ropes, and painted with several layers of paint, which were supposed to be temporary resting places for soldiers. Because I knew that Biffano's team was going to pass through here. The soldiers had long since been withdrawn.

Rex dismounted from the magic chariot this time, entered the stone house, cleaned the room of decay, and set up a table. Bivano's very interesting map and architectural drawings of the stone castle were handed over to Rex.

Salin followed, reviewing the two drawings with Rex.

The stone statue castle relies on the Chishui River, which runs east-west and eventually pours into the cold water. Hanze is a huge inland lake located at the junction between Titan and Qinyin. The Chishui River makes three turns around the Stone Statue Castle, and a wide iron bridge is erected on it, and if you want to cross the iron bridge, you must take down the outer fortifications of the Stone Statue Castle.

The terrain here is quite flat, and you can run away from war horses, but the location of the stone statue castle is a hill formed by rocks, and the height is hardly more than 100 meters, but the stone statue castle is well protected.

Because of these rocks, if you want to attack the stone statue castle, you can't concentrate a large-scale army, so you can only attack on two narrow roads. The terrain of the stone statue castle is sixty or seventy meters above the water, and it is impossible to use the Chishui River.

Looking at the drawings of the castle, the stone castle is an irregular hexagonal shape, covering an area of about two miles. The number of soldiers that can accommodate is so large that even 100,000 people can live in it. However, Yunliu's troops have not yet arrived here, and the stone statue castle itself has only five thousand garrisons, and those peasant soldiers will not try their best to fight, after all, the Agares family has been operating on this land for too long, and the Yunliu royal family has not been able to control these peasants.

"There are at least six thousand enemies in the castle. "Bivanno didn't talk nonsense, and when faced with battle, he had no aristocratic problems, but rather looked like a battle-hardened general.

"How many elites are there?"

"The Earl of Wenner has five hundred elites, and it is estimated that there are five hundred private soldiers in private, and the combat effectiveness of these private soldiers is slightly lower. But extremely loyal. The soldiers of the five banner regiments are nominally Yunliu's garrison, but they are all drawn from Titan, and their combat effectiveness is much higher than that of the peasant soldiers, but their will to fight is not very good. ”

Bivano told Rex what he could analyze in the most straightforward way, he didn't have a magician, and he had to turn to Rex for help, which was also something that couldn't be helped. Because of the rapid march, his ten carts had only some simple equipment on them, and it was impossible to carry any trebuchets.

The drawings are very detailed, and the Agares family will definitely take precautions against places like the stone castle, and they have already sent agents to copy the original drawings and mark the details of each year's repairs and renovations.

Because there were only two roads in and out of the castle, the defense of the castle was concentrated on the east and west sides. This drawing is not a three-dimensional image of magic, but it does detail everything in detail, including the six trebuchets near the castle's east gate. These are six fixed trebuchets, protected by huge metal supports in peacetime, and only in times of war, will they be removed.

Rex asked Biffano to withdraw his troops, also because of the six trebuchets. This fixed trebuchet is not survivable, but the range of trebuchets is accurate, each trebuchet controls a certain range outside the east gate, and it has already been debugged, as long as there is a skilled magic apprentice to control, there is no need for temporary adjustment, you can quickly find the accurate landing point.

Six trebuchets were fired at the same time, and Bivano's more than 400 soldiers were afraid that they would lose one-fifth at once.

This trebuchet can only defend against large ordnance, such as the enemy's puppet army, magic trebuchet, etc., and against a strong man like a magician, in addition to relying on a magician, it also relies on an arrow tower.

There are more than 20 arrow towers at the east gate, and all of them are medium-sized alchemy crossbows, if there is a sixth-level magician who wants to fly into the castle, it will inevitably attract alchemy crossbows.

There are more than 20 arrow towers, which are to make up for the lack of magic towers. Each tower has a medium-sized alchemy crossbow, as well as more than thirty smaller crossbows. Unless it's an eighth-level magician, when a magician is flying in the air. Defense naturally decreased, and the control of magic became more difficult, and in the face of this overwhelming array of arrows, a magician like Saleen, who was good at defense, did not dare to say that he could survive.

Of course, Saleen can hide his body with clouds and mist, and the enemy can only rely on luck to shoot indiscriminately, but if Saleen wants to dodge, it also depends on luck. Even for a set of alchemy molds, Saleen wouldn't be so desperate.

After reading the drawings, Rex said to Buffano: "If this castle is not deceived into opening the city gate, if you want to take it, you must have large equipment." I brought two trebuchets with me, but I couldn't suppress the six in the castle. ”

"What about the flying golems?"

Rex smiled and said, "Those twenty or so arrow towers are not decorations, and the speed of the flying puppets can't dodge the alchemy arrows at all." Before you can hit the trebuchet, you will be shot down. ”

"Your Highness, I'll give you all the treasury of the next city!" Bivano immediately decided, he didn't believe that Rex couldn't build this stone castle. The stone statue castle was stuck in the iron bridge over the Chishui River, and now the river is surging, except for this iron bridge, it is only possible to cross the river by going five hundred miles upstream.

"Two cities!" Rex said on the spot. To build this castle, she needs to invest a lot of materials, and the treasury of a city may not be able to recover the cost, or it will not be profitable.

"Deal!"

Seeing Bivano's decision, Saleen's impression of him changed. This guy also has something outstanding, but he is not a mediocre aristocrat.
