Chapter 349: Disguise
Winter is cold and windy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven with the sun on his head, the cold wind is still like a dagger, tearing people's skin.
An army of 500 men escorted 200 wagons of military pay and walked on the open road.
There was still snow on the ground, and the heavy wagons were particularly difficult to walk, sometimes with slippery wheels, and many soldiers had to dismount and push the wagons out of the mud puddles.
Fortunately, although the road is difficult, it is not far from the destination.
After walking a short time, we arrived at our destination, Abula.
The black-haired youth was at the front, riding a tall black horse with a smile on his face, and beside him, a blonde knight looked a little nervous.
"My lord, you could not have used this trip, but with me and Fish, there will definitely be no problems. The knight's face was a little ugly.
"What's the danger about this? You're definitely overthinking. I'm just here to deliver a few truckloads of food, what else can they do to me?" the black-haired young man didn't care, in fact, his main purpose was to see with his own eyes what Abula was like.
A few days ago, Aaron led his troops to the vicinity of Abula and set up camp on a dirt hill twenty or thirty kilometers away from Abula.
According to the news brought by Lan Wen, the whole of Abula is now in lockdown, and no one is allowed to enter the city.
Is there only one way to attack?
No, even if it is a strong attack, relying on more than a thousand people in his hands, he can't attack Abule, so he can only find another way.
Aaron sent people to keep an eye on Abula while sorting out the news from Cameron, and in addition to the information related to Abule's walls, the other side of the news attracted Aaron's attention. Every half month, a shipment of grain is shipped from Hankyo to Abula.
Food......
Aaron consults with Rice and Fish to disguise the army that escorts the rations, and may have a chance to enter Abula.
Rice and Fish also felt that this method was feasible, so they sent scouts to wait at the place where the military rations must pass, and when they discovered the whereabouts of the enemy, they immediately sent back the news, and a battle of 1,500 men besieging 500 men began quietly.
Eventually, Aaron's army quickly settled the battle in a crushing situation, and then quickly drew 500 men, changed into enemy clothes, and escorted food and grass to Abula.
Looking ahead, a huge city appeared in front of Aaron's eyes, and although Abula was not as large as Hankyo's city, it was no less large than Hankyo, especially the city wall that was said to have cost five million gold coins.
This is the ......wall of Abula? It's too high, right?
Generally speaking, Hankyo's wall is high enough, but that one is only about twenty meters, but Abula's wall is thirty meters high, and the average ladder to the city is probably not that high, right?
This city wall is a downed "mountain" character, three places are convex, two parts are concave, it seems that the contact area with the outside world increases, but in fact, because of this special way of building the city, the besiegers often concentrate on the two recessed parts, resulting in dense personnel, when attacking, it is easy to be fatally hit by the other side.
Huaide, that old thief, didn't lose a loss. If you choose to attack strongly, I'm afraid you will also follow the old path of Huaide. But from this point of view, Emanuel's five million gold coins were not unjustly spent.
However, such a good wall helped the enemy, which was something that Emmanuel had not thought of before. They are concerned only with the local forces on the land, but they forget about the enemy at sea. At sea, Abula had no defenses, and Wah's ships did not discover it until they entered the port of Abula.
In the face of the menacing Wach warship, if the Aboulites could resist it, what would be strange?
So attacking Aboul from the sea should be the best option, but for Aaron, it is simply impossible, in fact, the reason is simple, he does not have a warship.
As we got closer to Abula, so did the shock of the walls.
The pitch-black rock completely enveloped Abula, and the past war here left no trace of it, and the solid walls looked untouched and unrepaired.
Such a wall should be the envy of many lords, right? However, five million gold coins also made Aaron feel powerless.
As the team stood at the bottom of the city, Aaron looked up at the city and shouted at the city in the loudest voice, "Is there anyone up there?"
A loud voice echoed in the air, and it was about half a minute before someone appeared at the top of the city, "What are you doing?"
There was something strange about the tone, as if he couldn't speak Ravel well.
After all, if you're a foreigner, it's good to be able to speak some Ravel language.
"I'm a subordinate of Lord Wilder, and I'm here to deliver food. ”
Aaron pointed behind him, where a large amount of grain was piled high on the pen-length car.
"Oh, wait a minute, I'll come down. So saying, the soldiers at the head of the city left the city.
Aaron thought that the yamen would open the city within ten minutes, but as time passed, there was still no intention of opening the city, and Aaron couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
After about thirty minutes, the soldiers began to show impatience, and the gates of Aboul slowly opened.
"Crunch ......"
Ten people stirred the winch together, slowly pulling the arm-thick steel cable, and the heavy city gate was slowly lifted.
Aaron's heart felt a little uneasy, such a gate is far more difficult to break than a sliding gate, and looking at the material, this gate seems to be made of steel, ordinary siege equipment is not very effective, the whole wall has been integrated, and there are almost no weaknesses in sight.
The city gate slowly opened, and gradually a force of hundreds of people came out of it, and after leaving the city, the procession spread out to both sides, and a young man in a white military uniform walked through the aisle.
He was not very old, he looked to be in his twenties, his short fiery red hair was like a burning flame, his green eyes were like crystal clear jade, clear and pure, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and a confident smile was written on his face.
At a young age, such a person is a natural winner.
From the mouth of the soldier who escorted the grain and grass before, I learned that this person was Berkeley, the deputy commander who occupied the Wach people, in fact, he deliberately came here to gild, but he also had a certain talent in management, and he was not an idle second ancestor. Of course. The entire Abula reigned on their commander-in-chief, known as Wah's most promising star general, Senge.
"You're a little late this time, three days slower than planned. ”
Before Aaron could speak, Berkeley first came to ask Aaron for his guilt and pointed the finger at Aaron.
"My lord, it's not our fault this time, it snowed heavily two days ago, and the road was very muddy. Aaron gave the reason he had already thought of.
