Chapter 239: The Siege
readx;?“ My lord, if they abandon the valley and there are wounded soldiers in front of them, should we occupy this valley first?" The adjutant immediately made a request after listening to the intelligence information, but Long Keduo did not immediately nod, he is the lord of an army, although he is not experienced in a hundred battles, but his awareness of war is higher than that of ordinary generals, in terms of intelligence, the other party should be almost desperate to defend the valley and curb his own advance, so heavy casualties, why do you have to return to Crescent City? If it is to stick to the city wall, it is too hasty, after all, after they go back, the psychological pressure on the defenders in the city will not be small, this kind of self-destructive thing is something that every general tries to avoid, why would the ghost do this?
In addition, there is another thing that he is very concerned about: If they can comprehensively intercept and kill the reconnaissance team that they have excluded, it will not work without sufficient troops; in order to create an atmosphere of encirclement, they must allocate a large number of troops to do so, and where have these soldiers gone? If there really is such a force, the purpose of their interception and killing of the reconnaissance team may be to delay time, but it cannot be ruled out that they are waiting to cut off their own back road.

The adjutant's proposal naturally has a certain basis, but for Long Kedo, now is not the best time to occupy the valley, so when the adjutant asked again, he just gave an order for a small force to occupy, but the entire army was still camped outside the valley, although I don't understand why, but the adjutant still went to carry it out, Long Kedo naturally has his reasons for doing this, and he doesn't need to ask more.
Roncodo naturally had his questions, but the answer was on the walls of Crescent City.
"Lord Silvermoon, it's been a great job. A soldier said respectfully to Yinyue, who had just climbed the wall, and Yinyue nodded in response and asked, "Where is your lord?"
"Your Excellency is patrolling the facilities within the walls, and has ordered to prepare for the Valley Defenders. The soldier followed Yinyue on the city wall, and Yinyue stopped and asked, "How is the battle damage?"
The soldier nodded and said: "The casualties of the third corps are heavy, it is not enough to completely annihilate the opponent's forward army, the soldiers below the minor wound have joined the defensive camp, and the remaining seriously wounded and the remains of the soldiers killed in the battle are on the way back." ”
"Okay, I got it. Yinyue came to the entrance of the defense facility inside the wall, but was suddenly stopped by this soldier, "Lord Yinyue!"
"What's wrong?" Yinyue had just come down the first step, and when she turned her head and saw that there was a special emotion on the soldier's face, and after showing a slightly puzzled expression on her face, the soldier suddenly bowed deeply and said sincerely: "Thank you Yinyue for everything you have done for the Third Corps, the villain is unforgettable!"
The soldier's performance made Silver Moon a little puzzled, but she quickly reacted and asked softly, "Do you have relatives in the Third Corps?" The soldier nodded and said, "Yes, my brother is there, and he is not dead yet, you and your friends have bought time for my brother, thank you again, Lord Silver Moon." After speaking, the soldier bowed deeply again, but this time he was held up by Yinyue and said: "It's okay, take care of your brother, with those people here, even if you are seriously injured, you will definitely be fine." Patting the soldier on the shoulder, Yinyue was about to turn around when she heard the soldier say, "Silvermoon-sama, do you think we can trust those ...... Orcs?"
Looking at the somewhat unnatural expression of the soldier in front of her, Yinyue's face couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then she said: "You can't forget this kindness if you can save your brother's life." After saying that, Yinyue went directly down the wall.
The soldier scratched his head and said to himself, "Then I should trust them?"
"Of course, they're friends with Lord Ugly!" a soft, clear voice sounded from behind the soldier, who looked back to see that His Royal Highness the Second Prince of Calle had appeared behind him at some point.
"See Your Highness!" The soldier was about to salute but was helped up by Calle, looking at the soldiers around him who were also about to salute and raised his hand slightly to signal that there was no need to be polite, Kahler put his hands on the soldier's shoulders, and then stared into his eyes and said: "Soldier, you must remember to always be loyal to your adults, so that you can live a better life, and naturally don't look at your adult friends with colored eyes, you know?"
The soldier nodded, and Calle let go of him and said, "Since it's still early, let's welcome your brother back triumphantly, and you can stand by my side without restraint." The soldier was stunned for a moment and then his face was happy, standing side by side with Kahler, but he was half a step back, the soldier's movements were seen by Kahler, but he didn't say anything, watching a long line slowly appear in the field of vision under the sunset, and then slowly approached, the people in the team, every step was so clear, but so blurred, as if it was suddenly covered with a transparent veil, the soldier suddenly felt a slight cold on his face, and a teardrop was touched by his hand.
"Remember your benefactor, take care of your brother, and leave the rest to your family. Calle patted the soldier on the shoulder again, then turned around and went down the city wall, and when he returned to the city lord's mansion, Calle saw that Alex and the city guard Lawford seemed to be discussing, or rather, they should be arguing about something, and the hands of the two kept pointing on the map in front of them, as if there was some disagreement, and in curiosity, Calle withdrew and slowly approached, taking the conversation between the two people into his ears.
"We should increase the frequency of active attacks while focusing on defense, so that the other party can be tired of coping, instead of shrinking back like now, letting the other party come and go, this is the province of adults, we should swear to protect every inch of the territory of this province!" The remaining strength of the other party is less than 80,000, but if the Winston family is in collusion with the Temple Legion, then the enemy we will face is not just 80,000, but more than 100,000, according to the current defense strength, focusing on defense is the most advantageous choice, and this is also the choice of the ghost!"
"In addition, the griffin cavalry that appeared before also confirmed this, their intention is to unite, so that they can suppress the Crescent Moon Province, and there is also an attitude to deter other provinces that do not obey the Temple, you are now responsible for the defense of the city, in terms of the overall situation, you need to improve the space is not a little bit of a star!"
The two men argued, both trying to overpower each other's thoughts, but they were so engaged in a quarrel that neither of them noticed Calle behind them, and just as Calle was about to speak, a slightly tired voice suddenly came from behind him.
"What are you two arguing about?" Calle was watching the excitement?"
"Your Excellency!"
The two people who were discussing were stunned, and then they saw the reaction of the two people at the first time, the former was naturally Lauriel, and the latter was Alex, and the focus of the two people was also different, but Alex's face changed slightly, and he secretly kicked Laurit.
"Ahh
"Except for the thirty ballistae that are missing to draw them in, the others have come according to my arrangement, and the blacksmiths of the city are hurrying up their work, and if they can get to the city to-morrow, there should be three more, exactly sixteen, two on each side. After explaining the situation, the ghost led everyone to the map.
"I heard a rough idea from the discussion between the two of you, the people of Crescent Moon City do not move, the main purpose is to stick to the city wall, according to the degree of defense of our city wall, only the defensive magic array is weak, and if the rest wants to be taken by force, the other party cannot bear this kind of casualties, so when the other party uses magic means, Yinyue, I need your help, I don't need to block it all, just block the north of the main direction, and let the rest let the soldiers know how to avoid it freely, if necessary, the upper layer of the city wall can not let the soldiers go first. Ghost Ugly said, pointing to the black dotted line in the defense map of the city wall on the map.
This is very scary, but everyone present knows that this is the Kotler Empire, one of the three major empires of the human race known as the magic empire, and the legions of the temple will inevitably use magic attacks as a test when attacking, and this kind of temptation magic is not something that the newly built Crescent Moon City can withstand, so this proposal of the ghost ugly did not attract opposition.
"My lord, if the north and the south attack at the same time, how should we deal with it?" Lawford asked with some concern, what Alex said just now, after he pondered carefully, what the old man said was very reasonable, but the ghost ugly shook his head and said: "They will not join together, but will concentrate on attacking one point, and after this point, we can focus on defense, remember, they want to besiege us, then let them succeed!"
After drawing a circle around the top of Crescent Moon City on the map, the ghost suddenly smiled confidently at the group.
"As long as they dare to attack, then they are looking for death. ”
