Chapter 273: Surrender
readx;
"How many people have you lost now?" The city lord of North Wind City looked at the herald in front of him with an annoyed expression, and at the same time clenched the notice in his hand, this notice was thrown in from outside the city at noon, and the content of the notice was mainly to persuade him to surrender, although he had ordered it to be collected at the first time, but he knew that there would definitely be many people who would hide these things and then be ready to move.

"My lord, now there are more than 1,000 soldiers who have been stoned and wounded, and civilians and nobles have also suffered casualties of varying degrees, the total number is about twice as many as the soldiers, and now most of them have withdrawn to the north of the city. The soldiers under the hall were also nervous, because they were too nervous, the lord in front of him had become a little hysterical, and the soldiers who came to report the so-called battle situation before were all cut by the angry lord, and now it was obvious that the lord in front of him was still in a bad mood, thinking about the death he might face next, the soldier's body couldn't help but tremble.
"All ran to the north of the city?" The city lord of North Wind City snorted coldly, but he didn't draw his sword, which made the soldier can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but then he heard the city lord's calm and somewhat strange words.
"It's all a group of white-eyed wolves, are there any nobles!"
"Your Excellency...... There are a lot of nobles, and they ...... They shook their heads and opened the city gate to let them flee for their lives, they were leaving the city of the north wind!" Knowing that now was the best opportunity to divert hatred, the soldier hesitated a little at first, and then he talked about the ugly faces of those nobles, obviously this soldier succeeded, because the city lord in front of him was already angry and almost lost his mind.
With a cold snort, come with me, the lord took many guards out of the lord's mansion and went straight to the north of the city
Outside the city, the catapults under the city have stopped shooting, but the sound of persuasion can still be heard in the distance, the Crescent Moon Province is menacing, and the attack of the night and half a day not only greatly reduces the morale of the North Wind City, but even the hearts of the people have changed from panic to despair.
The proclamation clearly stated that if you don't surrender, you will slaughter the city, and from the current situation, the casualties of civilians and nobles are equally heavy, which makes the residents of the city of North Wind have a consensus: if you don't surrender, then the next road is only a dead end.
And just when the lord of the north wind city ran to the north gate with an angry face, the city wall under the city wall also looked anxiously at the reaction of the city, after reconnaissance, ten miles west of the camp, a large number of stones appeared on the shallows of a river, the soldiers were trying their best to transport to the camp, this transportation was carried out publicly, the soldiers of the north wind city defending on the city wall could see as long as they raised their eyes, and the stones on the car were even more eye-catching, for this reason karlie also deliberately let the convoy turn around a stone's throw outside the camp before returning to the camp, and the endless stream of stones was transported to the catapult phalanx outside the camp, looking at the cart with a cart of stones, the faces of the defenders on the city head were whiteใ
"My lord, the stones on the river beach are all here, there are twenty carts in total, about two hundred, and the rest of the carts are full of pebbles. The rat man said calmly, Karlie nodded and understood what the rat man meant, after all, it was a temporary idea, and the stones that could be found were limited, in order to cause a certain amount of psychological pressure on the enemy, the rat man directly dispatched twenty cars, and the inside of the car was pebbles, only the surface was a large enough stone, because it was far away from the city wall, even if there were small pebbles left, they couldn't see it, thinking that their eyes would inevitably focus on the big stones on the surface.
"Very well done, then wait, and let the siege troops prepare the siege ladder and prepare for a tough battle!" The rat man nodded and went down to prepare, and at this time Karle looked at the earthen wall in front of him that had been cut off the battlements of the city wall, and couldn't help but look back at the commander's tent of the battalion, in his impression, the ghost should like to hide in an ordinary tent, but this time he uncharacteristically erected his identity tent, is it to show that he is here?
Shaking his head slightly, Karle took a deep breath and then frowned, grabbed a soldier and said, "Go and call the captains of the three brigades for a combat meeting." Soon after the soldier took the order, the three captains came to his tent, and by this time Calle had prepared a map of the city of the north wind and was waiting for them to come.
The four of them were each in the corner of the table, looking at the construction diagram on the table, and Kahler spoke: " It seems that this battle is inevitable to forcibly attack the city, although I thought about letting the catapults concentrate on a little attack on the city wall, but we found not enough stones, the catapults can survive until tonight, even if they are optimistic, the engineering troops are maintaining, but now these catapults are basically useless, Lord Ghost Ugly will hand over the siege to me to be fully responsible, and now I order, if the other party does not surrender in the evening, then the three of you will each lead 10,000 people to attack on three sides, and forcibly attack the city under the cover of the catapult!"
The three captains looked at each other and nodded heavily, "Obey!" After saying that, the three captains went down, and at this time, a winged man flew back from outside the camp, and after a turn, he fell directly in front of Kalie, the smoke and dust dissipated, Kalie coughed a few times and asked a little angrily: "Why did you come directly?"
"My lord, there is an emergency!" After saying that, the winged man took a breath and said: "The north gate of the North Wind City has been opened, and many nobles have begun to flee, according to observation, there is a sixty percent chance that the city lord of the North Wind City is also involved, intending to escape!"
Kalie was stunned for a moment, and said a little dazedly: "Do you say it again?" It was not surprising that it was a winged man, and after repeating it, the young general really understood the news, "Within a hundred breaths, I want the exact news!"
"Yes!" the winged man turned and flapped his wings into the air, leaving Kalie in the smoke and dust straight for the City of the North Wind.
"Sure enough, we have to build a landing field for the winged people, otherwise we will really choke people. After thinking about it, Karle decided to make a report on the news, and when he came to the ghost's tent, he found that the ghost was not in the big tent, and the doorman at the door did not see the ghost leave, Karle couldn't help but wonder, where did this lord go?
And at the same time that Kalie left the tent, on the catapult position outside the camp, a group of soldiers looked at the ghost with a look of embarrassment, but the ghost had an order first, and none of them could run!
"My lord, we can't play like this! this is too dangerous!"
"Yes, my lord, this must not be!" The surrounding soldiers were also dissuaded, and even some of them had already knelt down, forcing each other to die, and the ghost couldn't help but roll his eyes and said, "I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
The rat man was clever and asked directly: "My lord, please forgive the villain, what is the purpose of you going to the North Wind City?" โ
"My lord, how about letting the winged man take you around?" The rat man opened his mouth and thought of a compromise method, although the ghost denied it, he must have a purpose for entering the North Wind City, but if you use a catapult, it is too dangerous, and the inertia alone is not something that people can bear at all, so far I have not heard of anyone directly throwing people into the city with a catapult!
The ghost clown shook his head and said a little boringly: "That's not interesting, it's still the excitement of the catapult." The nezumi was completely speechless, and a soldier next to him whispered in his ear: "My lord, Lord Lord has already played with it, this is really not useful, can you see if there is any other way?"
The rat man shook his head and said that he had nothing to do, even in the Orc Empire, although this kind of thing had been tried, but the result was very unsatisfactory, with the strength of the orc's body was not enough to withstand this kind of inertia, let alone the human body, but what method to use to stop the ghost ugly, he racked his brains and still had no way.
At the same time, in the camp, Kalie had already received the news, but before he could leave the camp, the winged man who had flown away flew back again, but this time he shouted directly from the sky and did not land.
"It's decided?" Kariel's face was solemn but suppressed with joy, the wingman nodded and flew out of the camp, while Kariel beckoned a soldier and whispered a few words, the soldier was stunned for a moment and then asked with a burst of joy, "My lord, is this true?"
"Go ahead, maybe tonight you'll be able to find a room and get a good night's sleep. Not caring about the soldier's offense, Karle slapped the soldier on the shoulder and let him go down, and when Leka hurried to the catapult camp outside the camp, the ghost clown was already standing in the net pocket, and those soldiers were passively fighting the catapult, seeing that the ghost clown really wanted to shoot himself, Kariel turned pale with fright, and after a burst of running, he threw the ghost clown to the ground.
"My lord, you don't have to go in like this, the city lord of North Wind City has run away, maybe they will surrender in a while!" Kalie lifted the ghost up with a guilty face, and then hurriedly told him what had just happened, and before the surrounding soldiers could shout, they listened to the shouting that had not stopped, and the content of the shouting had become that the lords had fled for their lives, and it was useless to fight again, if they wanted to live, surrender immediately!
The shouting was about a hundred breaths, and there was a commotion from afar on the city wall, and the sound became louder and louder, and between the crowds, countless white flags rose from the city wall, which was a flag representing surrender, seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Crescent Moon Province immediately shouted loudly, and Kalie was also excited, Lord Ghost gave him two days, and now it took him less than a day to complete the persuasion to surrender, which should make Lord Ghost and Ugly feel surprised and excited, right?
It is not necessarily true to say that there are no losses in the whole process, but in relation to the results, a few sprained soldiers are completely negligible!
But when the young general turned his head, he saw that the ghost was still standing in the net pocket, and his face was also excited, but Leka knew that it was not because the other party surrendered and was excited, and when he looked around, the rope of the winch had broken.
"See you in the city!" the ghost disappeared in an instant.
