Chapter 297: Heavenly Fire



"In that case, I think Lord Ghost Ugly should have a corresponding countermeasure?" After the old thirteen recovered from the shock, he became a little calm and asked again, but he shook his head when he saw Ghost Ugly. Nature

"Your Excellency thinks too much, this 100,000 army, after all, is still a 100,000 army, even if Bridget's people are in it, once they bite the weakness of our small forces, we still have no way, and when we encounter internal response, we also have to kill people, this is also where I am worried, everything is double-sided, the advantage is naturally to know the enemy's movements, but it is limited to this, how to fight, it is still a problem. ”

The ghost ugly said very practically, after all, it is still an enemy, how to fight, how to win is a problem, hearing so many ghosts and ugliness, the old thirteen of the thirteen Dao admired it, the young man in front of him was not impatient because of the pressure of the army, in fact, after learning the news, his reaction was quite calm, because he knew that anger would not help at all, and it was better to think about how to deal with the predicament in front of him when he was angry

Danger is a necessary characteristic of a good or even outstanding leader, and such a person is not only a ghost and ugly, the elf princess Yinyue, the second prince Kale, and even the commander who is stationed here in front of him are constantly showing this characteristic.

Lao Thirteen didn't think that this was what they originally had, but because they were slowly ignited or infected by the ghost and ugly for a long time, and a group of such people gathered together, often what they planned was not a trivial matter.

There is so much information, and the problem is still entangled in how to fight and how to win, and everyone is thinking and meditating, and there is no way for a while.

Being able to gather so many noble lords' private armies, and also to prohibit them, is enough to prove that the commander of this army is a person with extremely strong command ability, and even more unfortunately, this person's strategic talent is not low.

"In fact, the purpose of their immobility is very simple, the strategic oppressive intention of the itinerary is to give the Salint family an excuse to surrender, but we all know that the Salint family is famous for their hard bones, and they are also struggling to insist, if they don't rescue again, I'm afraid this province will be handed over to the rebels. Seeing that everyone was silent, the atmosphere was dull and he opened his mouth, but it was okay not to say this, as soon as the voice fell, everyone's faces changed

It's even more ugly, what the ghost is saying is the truth, and in this tone, it puts pressure on everyone, and even the old thirteen of the Thirteen Daoists opened his mouth and didn't speak.

As if he didn't feel it, the ghost clown continued to say to himself: "In that case, then how can we win?" The ghost clown who stood up continued to mumble to himself: "Dividing troops to defend is a last resort, and now under the pressure of the army, once the Salint family is defeated, then we will directly face the comprehensive pressure of the rebels, which is not a good thing, but how can the Salint family keep going?"

The ghost's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted, "Yes, why didn't I think of this?"

Everyone saw him with a look of sudden realization, but they were all confused, looking at the ugly look of the ghost, there must be a countermeasure, but what is this countermeasure? The old thirteen of the Thirteen Dustless Dao was the first to follow the ghost's train of thought to understand, looking at the ugly eyes of the ghost, the old thirteen nodded and said: "Maybe this is also a way, but how can the Salint family hold on, we have no way to increase the army." ”

The ghost first nodded and then said: "This is actually not difficult, but it takes too much effort, I don't have any problem with the transfer of troops, the key is how to pass on this news, and now the army is besieging the city, unless someone with high strength can do it, or ...... I have a way, Kale, from now on, you will be responsible for the defense of Beifengcheng alone, and I will still take away the five thousand elite soldiers I brought, but your wingman troops will divide half of me

, I want an airdrop!"

Airdrop, this is another word from the ghost ugly, but this word is very apt, and it has a certain operability.

"Lord Ugly, I heard from the eldest lady that your army has a stone bullet that can explode, why don't you use this stone bullet as a weapon to support the city of Salinthe? It is better to create chaos, at least it can increase the enemy's defense. The old thirteen's information was obtained quickly, but the ghost ugly said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from Your Excellency, the bomb crescent army you said can indeed do it, but now whether it is in North Wind City or Crescent City, the inventory has been eliminated."

Consumption, I have ordered to hurry up the production, but this bomb is very fragile, and the slightest carelessness will cause disaster, and this can be regarded as a weak heart. ”

Hearing what the ghost ugly said, the thirteenth didn't say anything more, the ghost ugly smiled, but suddenly his face changed and said: "We don't have many bombs, but ...... We have grass bombs!" Everyone was stunned again, and the ghost laughed and said: "Kale, these five thousand elite soldiers will be left for you for the time being, and all the fire oil in the North Wind City will be handed over to the Winged People reconnaissance force, I will immediately send troops to target Salint City!"

"Lord Ghost Ugly, this method can only be used for a while, I will also go out with the Lord, and the Thirteen Dao of Absolute Dust will continue to look for fighters and cooperate with the Lord!" Old Thirteen stood up, his face was full of indifference, and the Ghost Ugly glanced at him and nodded, and walked out of the City Lord's Mansion together.

At nightfall, on the outskirts of the city of Salinte.

The sky was shrouded in dark clouds, the two moons were long gone, like a cold wind blowing piles of bonfires, reflecting the faces of the soldiers, the shuttle patrol soldiers wandered in the camp with heavy footsteps, the bored soldiers each played haha and bragged, and then drank strong wine and leaned together to keep each other warm, the siege of the city of Salint has been for a while, and the soldiers have long been idle and panicked, except for the daily routine shouting and the routine greeting of catapults

, they basically have nothing to do, besiege besiege, besiege besieged, cut off food, grass and water sources, and the rest just wait for the other side to surrender.

The horn of the camp sounded, and the soldiers helped themselves up in twos and threes, moved their bodies, and then each found his own tent, and went back to sleep, and tomorrow will be the same, since there is food and drink, and there is no need to fight, is there anything more beautiful than this for a soldier?

The camp soon entered a near-silence, leaving only piles of bonfires burning wantonly, scattering bursts of heat to the tents outside to drive away the cold, and on the walls of Salint, there was also a little fire, but compared to the camp under the city, it was very weak, unlike the silence under the city, there was already a dead silence above the walls of Salinte, and there was no figure except for the firelight, and the battlements of the city wall had been completely smashed

There is no one on the city wall, but on the steps of the city wall, there are soldiers sleeping, there are snoring, there are also loud panting sounds, but more is full of painful ** sounds.

The situation seems to be improving, there have been few casualties in recent days, but the food is being consumed day by day, the army has issued a diet, and the soldiers' three meals a day have become two, or even one, and the enemy seems to have made up their minds to carry out the strategy of besieging but not attacking, but it has to be said that their method is effective. Faced with this situation, even the lords of the province and Lord William had no way to deal with it, so they could only stand up

In the early days of the battle, the enemy knew this sentence best, their morale was like a rainbow, they fought bravely, and they were not afraid in the face of an enemy several times their size, but morale was a temporary use, and it would decline for a long time, and now the morale of the men of the Salint family was already very low, and the longer this state lasted, the greater the impact on Salent City.

Soon however, a group of men stood up on the steps of the wall, and climbed the wall with torches, and began the night patrol.

"How did those idiots in the city stop these days? A soldier asked his companion with some curiosity, and the companion shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "Maybe we beat him down, right?" After saying that, the whole team began to laugh, and at this moment, a soldier turned his head to look at the camp under the city and said, "Why doesn't this fire blow a little bigger? ”

The other soldiers laughed and said yes, but suddenly a soldier's face changed, and the dim sky didn't know when there was a little starlight, "Strange, this cloud has not dispersed, why are there still stars coming out?"

"What's going on? This is ...... Is there a fire in the sky?" a soldier muttered and turned his head to look at the others, but the other soldiers were also at a loss, and then looked at the direction of the falling of the larger and larger fireball, several soldiers suddenly looked at the soldier who cursed at the beginning, and looked at the soldier stunned, but he was also a sharp-eyed person, and the fire in the sky was extinguished, and he could see why the fire rained in the sky.

"It's the winged people! It's the winged people who set fires, it's the reinforcements! Our reinforcements are coming! We're saved!"

After saying this, the soldier was about to run down with an excited face, but before he could run down the city wall, he heard a pop behind him, and turned around to see a masked figure standing behind him.

"Who's coming?"

"Fake reinforcements!"
