Chapter 54

The building that Shangguan Yuanrang pointed to was very large, looking at it like a dirt mountain with a cold eye, but it was artificially made, the base was in the shape of a disc, three or four meters high, and the top was a slightly smaller disc, or three or four meters high, and then there was a smaller disc, still three or four meters high, the disc was from large Luo to small, there were five layers in total, and the surface was green and verdant, as if it was overgrown with flowers and plants.

Following his finger, Kevin Depardieu glanced at it, then smiled and said, "That's Brianna Garden, but now it's been planted with crops." ”

The garden is difficult for Shangguan Yuan to understand, the disc on the lower floor is easy to say, it is only three or four meters high, and it is easy to water, but the disc on the top floor is nearly twenty meters high, if the water is carried up by someone every day, how much manpower will it take? He shook his head and smiled, and said casually: "Such a high garden, it is difficult to water, right?"

Kevin Depardieu laughed: "You can't see it here, but there is actually a waterwheel behind Brianna's Garden, which can lead the river below the garden to the top of the garden." ”

"Oh!" Shangguan Yuanrang nodded as if he didn't understand, he didn't quite understand what a waterwheel was, in the Windy Country, there was no such thing as a waterwheel.

He moved his gaze and looked at the tall building in the distance on the other side, which was a man-made miracle higher and more spectacular than Brianna's Garden, the total height was close to ten zhang, the whole was trapezoidal, and on one side of the building there was a long staircase leading from the bottom to the top, and the building at the top was grand and solemn, standing majestically in the sky, bringing people a strong sense of shock.

Shangguan Yuanrang didn't want to look like he was a person who had never seen the world, so he kept asking, but he couldn't help it, stretched out his finger and asked, "What is that?"

Seeing what he was pointing at, Kevin Depardieu's face turned pale and said, "That's the Temple of the Sun." As he spoke, he immediately added, "The sun god is also the first god of heaven that my Tia revered!"

"Ah, that's right. Shangguan Yuanrang nodded again and didn't ask any more, but he didn't look away for a long time.

For Shangguan Yuanrang, everything in Tia City felt new and incredible, whether it was Brianna's Garden or the ten-zhang tall Sun Temple, these buildings were beyond his imagination, and he couldn't understand how they were built in the first place.

Tia's technology was indeed much ahead of the Windy Country, and now he could somewhat understand why the Great King had to spend so much effort and risk so much to help Tia and fight against Dookie. If such a country cannot be absorbed by its own country, it must be allowed to perish as soon as possible.

There are many strange buildings in the city of Tia, but the scale of the royal palace is very ordinary, not even a castle, somewhat similar to the royal palace of the Wind Country, but the area is several times smaller, located in the middle of a garden.

Accompanied by many of Tia's ministers, Shangguan Yuanrang entered the palace and met the Tia king, Gerald Hadesti, in the palace's main hall.

Gerald was a young king, about the same age as Tang Yin, who looked less than thirty, of medium height, fair-skinned, delicate-looking, not gorgeously dressed, but very elegant, with a golden ring crown on his head.

The first impression of the two of them was good, and after a brief greeting, Gerald first asked, "General Shangguan, I wonder where the reinforcements from the Wind Country are now?"

Shangguan Yuanrang said: "It's near Vaal Town. ”

Hearing this, Gerald secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this is undoubtedly good news for Tia City, after all, Vaal Town is not far from Tia City. He asked again, "What about ...... How many reinforcements do you have?"

Shangguan Yuanrang said: "100,000 soldiers." ”

Only 100,000 people? Gerald was a little disappointed with this reply, after all, the total number of troops invested by the Duki army in Tiya had reached 200,000, and the Wind Country had only sent 100,000 troops, so it was really hard to say whether he could win or not! Seeing that he did not speak immediately with a worried face, Shangguan Yuanrang immediately felt his concerns, he smiled proudly, and said: " Your Majesty the King, although our country only sent 100,000 troops, but it is our country's elite Sanshui Army Corps, up and down the soldiers, each with a top ten, our army from the border to the town of Val, like a bamboo, even down several cities, Duki's army is defeated and retreated, which can be seen. ”

Kevin Depardieu nodded on the side, the Three Water Army is indeed an elite army in the Wind Country, if the Wind Country really sent the Three Water Army to reinforce it, it can also be seen how seriously the Wind Country attaches to this battle.

Gerald didn't know much about the military strength and structure of the Wind Country, but seeing Kevin Depardieu nodding, it was estimated that Shangguan Yuanrang was not exaggerating when he said this. He pondered for a moment and asked, "Since your army has already attacked Vaal Town, why did General Shangguan break into the Duki Company camp alone and come to Tia City?"

Shangguan Yuanrang took a breath and said, "I came here this time for two main purposes, one is to understand the military strength in Tia City, and the other is to unite the Tiya army and break the Duji army outside the city. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers present, including Gerald, were in high spirits, and they had been in the city for two years, and finally had to wait until the day when the siege was broken.

Kevin Depardieu first looked at the king, and then said to Shangguan Yuanrang: "I still have 25,000 troops in the city. ”

Shangguan Yuanrang raised his eyebrows, there were only 25,000 troops left in the huge city of Tia? He snorted, his tone revealed dissatisfaction, and said: "General Depardieu, our army is your ally, not the enemy, what I want to listen to now is the truth, if you still have reservations at this time, it is you who will suffer in the end!"

Kevin Depardieu hurriedly said: "General Shangguan has misunderstood, there are indeed only 25,000 soldiers left in the battleable army in the city, including 3,000 soldiers who are slightly wounded, and in addition, our army is short of food, grass and medicine......

Looking at his anxious appearance, it didn't seem like he was lying, and there was no need for him to lie to himself, Shangguan Yuan was speechless for a while. When he left his own army, Liang Qi repeatedly told him that only the combat power in Tia City can reach 30% of the combat power of his own army, and only then can it be feasible to combine the inside and the outside, originally in his mind, the capital of Tia, the huge Tia City, its defenders must have at least 50,000 or 60,000 people, where did he think that there were only 25,000 people, of which 3,000 were wounded, where could this reach 30% of the combat power of the Sanshui Army?

Shangguan Yuanrang frowned and didn't speak, everyone in the hall was anxious, Gerald was about to ask, a middle-aged man led by the ministers stepped forward and asked, "General Shangguan thinks the number of troops in my city is too small?"

The one who spoke was Tia's first assistant minister, Rhys Evans, and one of Tia's true rulers. In Tia, apart from the king, the two most powerful people were the high priest, Jennifer Hax, and the chief assistant minister, Reece Evans.

As for Kevin Depardieu, although he was the commander of the national army, it was temporary, and only in the event of the outbreak of war, Tia had the position of commander of the whole army, appointed directly by the king, and the appointment was not necessarily the same for each appointment, and in peacetime, Tia did not have this official position.

Shangguan Yuanrang, who was frowning and contemplative, nodded his head and muttered, "The number of troops is indeed a little less. Then, he casually asked, "I wonder how the combat strength of the 20,000 people in your country is?"

The strength of the army in Tia City is there, there are so many, you can't exaggerate it, but Shangguan Yuanrang asked about the combat strength of the army, which Kevin Depardieu was full of confidence, he patted his chest and said: "Although our army only has 25,000 people left, it can keep more than 100,000 enemy troops out of the city, and the combat strength is naturally not a problem." ”

Shangguan Yuanrang glanced at him, defending the city is a geographical advantage, even if more than 20,000 people are used to defend a small city, it is not easy to break through with 100,000 people, not to mention that the walls of Tia City are high and strong, and there is a moat, more than 20,000 people to defend more than 100,000 people, there is no place to show off.

He pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "How is the combat strength, there is no evidence, I don't know if General Depardieu is willing to take me to the barracks to have a look." ”

"This ......" Kevin Depardieu did not answer immediately, but raised his eyes to King Gérard.

Shangguan Yuanrang said: "Since this battle is to unite the inside and the outside, we must defeat the enemy with one blow, otherwise Tia City will be very dangerous, so I must understand the combat strength of the army in Tia City." ”

Even Gerald, a military layman, could hear that Shangguan Yuanrang was reasonable, he nodded, and said, "Since General Shangguan has proposed it, then take General Shangguan to our military camp to have a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Kevin Depardieu bowed in response to the King's approval.

Shangguan Yuanrang didn't come here to chat with the king of Tia and the ministers of the court, he didn't delay much in the palace, and he didn't even eat the refreshments sent by the attendants, so he and Kevin Depardieu went to the military camp of Tiyajun, wanting to personally check the combat strength of Tiyajun.

The barracks of the Tiya army were divided into five parts, four of which were near the four city gates of the south, south, west, and north, and one near the royal palace. Thinking that the military camp near the palace must be the elite of the Tiya army, and it does not represent the real combat power of the Tiya army, Shangguan Yuanrang proposed to go to the military camp near the south city gate to have a look.

Kevin Depardieu had no opinion and took him there. When he arrived at the Nancheng military camp, Kaiwen wanted to gather the soldiers of the whole battalion and let Shangguan Yuanlet take a good look, but he was stopped by the latter, and he said with a smile: "Don't be so troublesome, I'll just walk around." As he spoke, he looked around, and then walked to a barracks not far from him.

As he walked, he put the helmet he was holding on his head, lowered his face guard, then drew the saber at his waist, and asked Kevin Depardieu, "General Depardieu, how did the Douky shout kill?"

Kevin Depardieu didn't understand what he was up to, but whispered a few words in Dukey. Shangguan Yuanrang tapped on his helmet and muttered, "That's right, that's what they called when they fought with the Bessa, and I forgot for a moment that the Besa and Duki people speak the same language. As he spoke, he reached the door of the tent.
