Su Lin rode in the middle of the team at this time, and now the army has 40,000 cavalry, sword and shield soldiers, spear and shield soldiers, and 20,000 crossbowmen, and the rest are 100,000 recruits with wooden guns.

Tens of thousands of people and some logistics personnel were left behind in Lychee Port, and the remaining 180,000 soldiers set off out of the forest.

Along the way, Surin looked at the path under his feet, some of which were artificially made by cutting down trees, and some of which were naturally formed.

Since letting Surin and them leave, the people in the Ao Dai tribe are also very worried, so they are on alert every day.

On this day, Ao Dai was patrolling around the territory with his people, and suddenly saw a dozen wagons coming not far away, loaded with a lot of goods.

Seeing this, Ao Dai immediately asked people to go around and check to see if there was an ambush or something.

After a while, the person who came out walked back and whispered, "Debi, there is no one behind, only these dozen people driving the carriage. ”

"Very well, let's wrap them up and rob them. Ao Dai quickly gave the order.

Covis was now working on the first carriage, his eyes on the map, and he thought he was about to arrive.

As the leader of the convoy, he had received an order from Surin to send a batch of food supplies to the indigenous tribes.

Just as he was deep in thought, suddenly there was a noise all around, and then one by one the natives with arrows rushed out, most of them women.

After seeing these natives, Covis hurriedly shouted, "I want to see Aodai, I want to see Aodai." ”

"You know me?"

Hearing the man call herself, Ao Dai also stood up.

After seeing her come out, Kovis hurriedly said: "Your Majesty asked me to bring you some food, and let me tell you that you don't have to worry about running out of food anymore, and you can go to Lychee Harbor to ask us for help if you have any trouble." ”

Hearing this, Ao Dai also walked to the side of the carriage, lifted the cloth on it, and found that it contained a lot of food, wine, and all kinds of shredded meat.

She then had the wagons carried back to the tribe.

"Can we go?" asked Covis, looking respectful.

Ao Dai looked at the dozen men, and there was an inexplicable smile in her eyes, and then waved her hand back, and suddenly a group of women dragged them into the grass.

After January, the time also came to September, and Su Lin and the others were still shuttling in the forest.

At this time, Surin saw a tall wooden lookout in front of him on horseback, and wondered if he had reached the exit of the forest.

"Your Majesty, we have built a camp in front of us to facilitate the transportation of grain in the future. Gru explained.

"Very well, this route will be a very important grain route in the future, and it must be protected. ”

Soon after, the group finally walked out of the forest, and in front of them was a vast grassland, and as far as the eye could see, it was uninhabited.

Gru pointed to the north and said, "More than a hundred kilometers to the north, it will be Motril." ”

Immediately, Su Lin slowed down his march, and then sent out to serve in several directions, after all, it was a strange place now, and intelligence was the most important.

It was heard that several lords of the towns around Motril had converted to the Church and had united to take Motril.

Among these lords, no one is convinced, but two of the most powerful, Ralau and Teber, the two of them temporarily lead dozens of lords, large and small, together.

"Now that the southwestern part of Muga is basically under our rule, I have received orders from the church to take Motril as soon as possible, otherwise when Muga's army comes, we will have no room for counterattack. Lalau said what to do next.

"Now Muga can't take care of it at all, so we don't need to be in such a hurry. Turber immediately sang the opposite.

For this person who has always been against him, Lalau is also very dissatisfied with him, and he is thinking about how to get rid of him.

Seeing that everyone looked sluggish, he also spoke again: "If there is no support from the church for us, think about how long we can live!"

When everyone heard this, they all fell into deep thought, the reason why they were able to gather so many people this time was also because the church provided a large amount of food, grass and equipment, if they couldn't take Motril as soon as possible, then they would really be isolated.

Then one of them asked, "Then what do you say you should do now, you will decide!"

Just as Lalau was about to speak, Teber preemptively said: "There are not many defenders in Motril City, only 20,000 people, we will fight in one round of attacks, what do you have to say!"

"That's it, let's do it!"

"Let's go, let's go. ”

Seeing this, Lalao was also angry, so he had to hold back what he wanted to say.

As the governor of Motril, Marente has been very uncomfortable during this time, and several nearby lords have also announced that they have joined the church, and recently the people in the city have not dared to go out, and once they go out, they will be robbed and even killed.

And Marent also received a letter from Banhard, without any support, everything had to be on his own.

Now there are only 20,000 defenders in the city, and there are more than 100,000 people outside.

"Oh no, my lord, the rebels outside have fenced this place. ”

Hearing this, Marent was also mentally prepared for a long time, and immediately ordered to prepare to let go and fight back.

At this time, the hundreds of thousands of troops led by Lalau and Teber surrounded Motril and also launched an offensive posture.

I saw that a lot of trebuchets and siege engines had been brought from outside the city.

Looking at these Lalao, he fell down and said to the other lords, "Who will go to the first battle? ”

No one speaks after the voice falls, after all, no one is stupid, and the first one will definitely lose the most.

"Since you are now the boss, and the church also gives you orders, you are the first to go out, I believe that no one has any doubts, so that everyone will be more convinced of you. Especially at this time, he suddenly threw out these words.

Lalau looked around at the crowd at this time, and saw that they were all looking at him, so he knew that he couldn't escape, so he said decisively: "Okay, I'll go first, although it is unlikely to be defeated, but it can also consume a little of their troops." ”

After that, he commanded his subordinates to rush forward, and he did not say anything to death, lest he not be able to get off the stage at that time.

Seeing the rushing crowd, Marent immediately gave the order to attack, and immediately the archers on the wall began to shoot desperately, and a large number of people immediately fell below.

At this time, the rebels below also stared at the shield and rushed to the city wall, and then set up ladders one after another, and the giant siege ladder also leaned against the city wall, and the rebels began to climb up.

"Hurry up and knock them down, quick!"

Marunte was also shouting loudly from the city wall at this time, and watched a man run up from the ladder, and immediately cut the man down again with a single sword.

Soon after, the upper part was engulfed in hand-to-hand combat, and among the many battles, the siege was undoubtedly the most brutal, with oil, boulders, and rolling logs falling from the walls.

The people below were either smashed into a pulp of meat, or their skin was burned to the point that the smell of meat was even permeated in the air.

Teber and some other lords seemed to be watching a play at this time, and the expressions on their faces also seemed indifferent.

"Now hurry up and let your men attack quickly, we can take Motril, they don't have many men left. Seeing that his 50,000 people lost nearly 20,000 in an instant, Lalao was also very distressed.

"The defenders above have increased their manpower, and it won't be useful for us to go up again. Tebo shrugged his shoulders and replied.

Seeing that there were many more people on the city wall, Lalao also snorted coldly and withdrew the people, leaving behind the corpses in one place.

At this time, Marent saw that the rebels below had retreated in a hurry, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

They only had 20,000 defenders, and they had lost nearly half of their troops in the first battle.

And the soldiers who came up to support them were actually just ordinary people pretending to be in the armor of the ship.

At this time, Marent glanced at the city again, looking at the dozen or so dense rebel phalanxes, and he also doubted in his heart how long he could hold out.

Su Lin set up camp on the grassland at this time, rested for one night, and continued tomorrow.

Previously, he had also left 30,000 people in the camp at the exit of the forest to ensure the safety of the grain transportation route.

In the tent, Surin was also studying the map, and their purpose this time was to go to Banhard, to meet with Hunn, and then contact Lance to discuss how to deal with the Three Western Kingdoms.

Just then Gru walked in, handed a letter to Surin, and said, "Your Majesty, Banhard has sent a letter. ”

Surin immediately read the letter, saying that the lords in the southwest had rebelled and might attack Motril and let him rid the rebel army.

Then Surin came to the map and looked at the distance from Motril now, which was less than a few dozen kilometers, and could reach Motril on a night's march.

"Gru, let the soldiers set off at once, to Motril. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

The 150,000 men walked quietly in the dark night like ghosts, and at the front were the cavalry troops, responsible for gathering intelligence.

At this time, a ten-man cavalry scout squad was moving forward on the steppe, and their task was to ensure that there were no enemies and no ambushes on the road through which the large army passed.

A few hours later, they had appeared on a hill near Motril.

After lying on the ground and looking at it for a while, they quickly recorded the number of enemy troops outside the city and the position of the formation, and then one of the attendants immediately returned with the news, while the rest stayed here to continue to watch.

"Captain, do you think we can eat these people this time? ”

"Of course you can, you must know that Your Majesty is very smart, he has never lost a battle, and you should have heard of the previous deeds!"
