After the large force had withdrawn to the outskirts near Banhard and settled, Surin had them build several lines of defense, taking advantage of the terrain to snipe Hoto's advance.

Although the siege of Banhard is a foregone conclusion, if Hotto wants to break through the gates easily, then don't dream.

Su Lin went to a military camp on the outskirts of the city, and when he entered, he saw two dragons lying on the ground, as well as a dozen griffons, all of which had been shot down before.

I saw that one giant dragon's wings were shot by crossbow arrows and several large holes, and now it was being restrained by huge chains, constantly roaring, and trying to struggle to stand up, while the other giant was shot in the abdomen and had long been out of breath.

The dozen or so griffons were all alive, with some wounds.

At this time, some soldiers tried to treat their wounds, but they couldn't get close at all, they were very repulsive, and many of them were injured as a result.

"These brutes, whatever they do, let them die. ”

"But Your Majesty let me keep it, saying that it was useful. ”

Then Surin called Melson again, looked at him and asked, "Do you have any way to deal with these dragons and griffins?"

Melson nodded back, "Your Majesty, I can tame them and let them be of our use." ”

Hearing this, Su Lin handed over the matter to him to deal with.

In the evening, Surin returned to Banhard City and gathered everyone to discuss the next steps.

Benguela looked at the latest news coming back, his face was also extremely solemn, he glanced at everyone and said: "Now the army of the church has set up a defensive line in the east, completely surrounding us, and our contact with Motril and Jebeldan has also been cut off. ”

Su Lin drank as he opened his mouth and asked, "How many troops are there in each of the two cities now?"

"After Motril absorbed the people around him, he also expanded his army, and now there are 100,000 soldiers, and Jebeldan is about the same. Benguela said in a deep voice.

"The immediate priority now is how to deal with the siege of Hoto, and it is believed that in a month or two the Banhad area will be surrounded, and Garris's army will also arrive. One of them asked about the next course of action.

Hearing this, Su Lin also stood up and said: "Next, we will snipe the plan of the siege of Hoto step by step, and strive to make them unable to complete the siege by the end of the year, and the most important thing now is the food problem." ”

When everyone heard this, they also bowed their heads and fell into deep thought, if they were really besieged, then the amount of food would determine how long they could last, and it was also the most critical point in whether the war could be won.

At this moment, Benguera's voice rang out: "According to the current grain storage in the city, we should be able to hold out for more than a year, and then it will depend on whether the war can end." ”

A year may seem like a long time, but for a war, and for such a large-scale war, a year is too short.

Many people have already thought that after a year, they will have no food to eat, and it is estimated that the city will be starving everywhere by then, and they will be defeated without a fight, and there is only one way to surrender.

Looking at the frost on everyone's faces, they were all about to become icemen, Su Lin also clapped his hands and said: "Don't worry, there will be a batch of grain from Luogo in the near future, as long as we receive this batch of food, we can hold on for another year." ”

Hearing this, everyone immediately came to their senses again, and hurriedly asked, "But the sea and the east are blocked by the army of the church, and food can't be transported in at all!"

Then Su Lin took out a map and hung it on the wall, and then said while drawing: "If the news leaks, the people of the church will definitely guess that we are using the nearest route to transport the grain, and a large number of troops will gather in the southwest region, in fact, our route is to go to Jebeldan first, and then bring the grain in, although it will take a little longer, but it is much safer, and they will definitely not think of it." ”

As soon as the words fell, someone immediately asked: "If you take the route of Jebeldan, you will definitely run into Hoto's defensive circle at that time." ”

"It's not a problem, after the food arrives in the suburbs, I will organize a large army to open a hole in the defensive circle and let the food in. Surin explained with a smile.

After formulating the task, everyone dispersed, but at this time, Surin, Benguela, and Huen quietly walked into the secret room.

After sitting down, Benguela was the first to ask: "You leaked the traffic route so early, aren't you afraid of leaking the news?"

Su Lin smiled and replied: "What I want is to leak the news, I believe that the person who heard the news tonight must have a spy from the church or Hoto, in fact, the real grain transportation route this time is the nearest road, after all, the farther you go, the greater the danger." ”

If they don't believe it, won't the grain delivery team fall into the net? Hunn voiced his concerns.

"The news is out, of course, the next action is to convince them of this, I have arranged it almost, they have to believe it. Su Lin said this with a confident face.

At this time, Kairi was also discussing combat matters with the generals, and the key to the discussion was how much food was in Banhad City and how long it could be supported.

Most people speculate that there is only five or six months of food in the city, after all, the previous riots in Muga also destroyed most of the land, and it is good to have five or six months of food stock.

Seeing that everyone was talking, Khairy also stretched out his hand to quiet them down, and said: "Now the people of the church have almost occupied the land outside the Mugachu Banhad area, so we must complete the siege of Banhard as soon as possible and eat this land. ”

"The richest place in Muga is the Banhadi area, and if we can take it, it will certainly be no worse than the land occupied by the church. ”

While they were discussing, one of the guards walked in and handed a letter to Carey.

After reading it, Kairi's face was also cloudy, and everyone didn't dare to finish talking anymore when they saw this.

After a while, Carey spoke, "I just received two pieces of bad news, the first is that the food in Banhard City will last for a year, and the second is that there will be a large shipment of grain in Loggo. ”

"Your Highness, now that the routes to Banhard by sea and land are blocked, it is impossible for Logo to have the opportunity to transport grain to Banhard. ”

"If we can get their transport routes, we can have the church people take them down. ”

Carey then told the church about the transportation route he had obtained, and at the same time wrote to the church to tell them to pay attention, and then Hotto slowly began to encircle Banhard.

Soon after, Mekjee also received a letter from Khairy that a shipment of grain was coming into Banhard from the east.

After getting the news, Mekji went to the map and looked at it, Logo wanted to bring in the food, but Buori definitely couldn't get through, so he had to take the water.

"Take the waterway, go the waterway. ”

Mekji kept staring at the map and muttering, and then his face couldn't help but smile.

Muga was on both sides of the sea, the western outlet to the sea had been blocked by warships, and the only possible thing was the eastern coast, which had a large forest, through which they could have transported food.

He then asked the griffons to closely monitor the edge of the forest, this time the amount of food is also very large, although it is possible to send people to block the entrance and exit of the forest to prevent the food from being transported out, but this will make a gap in the cage defense line, and Muga's people may escape.

And if you can intercept this batch of grain, then it will also be good for yourself, so in the end, Mekji decided to let Logo's people transport the grain out, and when the time comes, just send troops to intercept it.

In the days that followed, Horto's army began to move down the edge of this Banhard, preparing to complete the siege.

From time to time, however, they were sniped by Muja soldiers hiding in the grass and houses, especially the archers of many people, who were unable to defeat the enemy forces, but also inflicted many casualties on them.

In order to ensure the speed of the advance of the large army, Carey had to send some scouts to the front to investigate and prevent being ambushed by the large army of the enemy.

On this day, another group of more than twenty knights came to a small town, ready to go in and find out what was going on.

Before entering, the captain of the knights also said to the crowd: "Everyone take out their shields, and beware of an ambush inside." ”

"Understood"

After taking out their shields and raising them, they rode slowly inside.

Hearing that there were only insects and birds chirping around, their hearts couldn't help but tighten, and they looked around, but there was nothing except the house and trees.

At this time, in a hidden window of the room, there were several people standing, with crossbows in their hands, aiming at the knights outside.

"Come closer, come closer. ”

Looking down from the sky, there were fifty or sixty men hidden in the grass in the houses and bushes around the road, and their bows and arrows were aimed at the knights.

Just as the knights were in the middle, dozens of soldiers with crossbows suddenly burst out of the grass and began to shoot at them.

"Be careful, there is an ambush. ”

Many knights immediately took out their shields and prepared to block these arrows, but there were arrows flying in all directions, and they could not stop them at all.

Ahhh

A scream rang out in the empty town, and from time to time a knight fell from his horse with an arrow.

At this moment, a knight suddenly accelerated and ran out, trying to escape, only to dodge left and right, successfully avoiding many arrows.

Just as he was about to flee, a soldier suddenly climbed onto the roof and chased the knight into the mountains.

All they saw was him running fast on the rooftop, like a cheetah.

Then the soldier stood on the roof of the last house, took out his bow and arrow, pulled it away, and shot it directly at the fleeing knight.

Seeing as the arrow went straight through the knight's neck, he fell off his horse.

"Two hundred, at last two hundred. ”
