Chapter 266: Green's Worries

Via was also unlucky. A few days ago, she had a conflict with Nene from the wildfire, and was about to go out to kill, but was stopped by Aunt Sofia who was hiding on the side.

But after all, she traveled a long distance, and fought a fierce battle with Nenen, and also suffered some minor injuries, after leaving the wildfire, all the way south to Denzel City, originally only rested in the city for one night, but I didn't expect that after Char sent someone to send news of the former enemy, Green immediately ordered the city to be sealed, and the walls were cleared, and the city with its own scorched earth strategy was only allowed to enter but not leave.

Later, Odin's army came to the city, but he blocked Via in the city and couldn't leave. After waiting for two days, the army of Odin left, and Via was so anxious that he could fly to Osgilia with wings on his back, where would he be willing to stay here?

Moreover, the situation in Byzantium is now rotten, and there are rumors everywhere, and there are many rumors in the market every day, one moment that hundreds of thousands of rebels have occupied the north of the empire, and the other time it is rumored that Osgilia has broken the city, and then that the Rodria cavalry has broken the enemy, and then that the Odin and the rebels have joined forces......

Wei Ya waited for two days, his patience had already run out, and he refused to wait any longer, so he decided to force his way out of the city and go south.

"It turned out to be you......" Char was naturally surprised when he saw Wei, but then he showed a kind smile, let the surrounding defenders disperse, and said with a smile: "Disperse, this is Lord Ben's friend, scatter and disperse!"

Wei Ya stood there, looking at Char proudly, with a grim expression on the exposed half of his face, Char walked up to her, raised his hand, and said, "I didn't expect to meet you here...... Well, 1, Miss Via..."

Wei Ya just stared at Char coldly, with a little vigilance in his eyes.

"This ...... You don't have to look at me like that. Char shook his head: "Anyway, it's an old acquaintance, and besides, you saved me once......"

"I'm going out of town. Via frowned, but said this coldly.

Char was stunned, and then smiled: "Out of the city?"

"Get out of the city!" Wei Ya looked at the people around him, and then looked at the entourage behind Char's side, Char immediately understood, and turned back and said, "Let's all disperse." ”

After speaking, he stepped forward and grabbed Via's arm, pulled her forward, and said with a smile: This is not the place to talk, go back first, even if you want to go out of the city, let me arrange it. ”

Originally, when Char's hand was stretched out, there was a cold light in her eyes, but then she heard Char's last sentence, and finally sighed, did not dodge, and let Char pull herself towards the city.

The two didn't talk along the way, Char took Via to the garrison in the city, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Sharpa shouting and commanding several guards to run out of it with a bundle of arrows and crossbows, and saw Char head-on, and then saw Via next to Char, Sharbah suddenly stared at a pair of eyes, stood there and screamed "ah", and the bundle of arrows in his hand was also thrown on the ground, and then he suddenly came to his senses, Sharba seemed to be a little at a loss, and immediately knelt down on one knee, and shouted: " Lord Viva...... Via snorted, didn't look at Sharpa, and walked past Sharpa's side, only after two steps, he coldly dropped a sentence: "Get up, I'm not your personal guard captain anymore." ”

Sharpa seemed to have great respect for Via, and quickly jumped up, but caught up with Via's footsteps and followed Via, and whispered, "Your Excellency......"

Yahoran turned his head and stared at Sharpa coldly: "I repeat, I'm not your commander" Yes Yes ......" Sharpa sneered, scratching the back of his head.

The garrison mansion was empty, and most of the people in the city were sent to the city wall to defend the city, and when they came to the garrison mansion, they only entered the hall ten times, and Wei Ya immediately said, "Char, I don't have time to delay, just a horse, and then open the city and let me go south immediately!"

Char scratched his head, looked at Via, and said with a wry smile: "Naturally, there are horses, but at this time, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to get out of the city."

When Via heard this, he frowned and was silent.

Char glanced at Sharpa, glanced at Sharpa, and then said: "Although the Odin army outside the city has retreated, there are still thousands of people blocking outside, and I can't open the city gate at this time."

Seeing that Wei Ya's face was dissatisfied, Char immediately sped up his voice and said, "Besides, even if you are let out, but now the direction of the south is the army of the Odin, after my army of the people goes south, they must have sent countless teams to collect food nearby, and if you go south out of the city alone, I am afraid that you will bump into the Odin people in less than half a day." ”

Via sneered: "This is my problem. ”

Char sighed: "I know you are very skilled, Hastings ...... at the beginning"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly felt a sharp look from Wei Ya, Char quickly closed his singing, and said with a smile: "With your skills, even if you encounter a small group of Odin, you are naturally not afraid, but one by one, one by one"

Wei Ya was a little impatient, shook his head and said: "Since there are still Odin people outside the city, you can't open the city gate, and I won't force it, you just need to order the soldiers defending the city not to stop me, and I can cross the city wall and leave by myself." ”

Char looked at Qin Weiya: "You went over the city wall...... Now that the city of Denzel is scorched, and there is no one to live, you go out of the city alone, don't try to find horses, let alone horses, not even cattle, sheep and livestock...

Wei Ya was furious and stared at Char: "Talking so much nonsense, do you want to detain me!"

Char smiled: "We have no grudges and no hatred, speaking of which, I still owe you a life, why should I detain you? You are my life-saving benefactor, I just don't want to see you go out of the city and die." ”

Sharpa saw Char's eyes on him and smiled, "Lord Via...... Even if you want to be stingy, it's not convenient in the daylight now, so it's better to wait until the evening, and in the dead of night, we will quietly lower you from the city wall and hang a horse for you, better than your open battle in the middle of the day, right?"

Via listened and pondered for a while before finally nodding: "Okay, I'll wait until it's dark before leaving."

To be honest, Char really had a good intention, since Viaken stayed for half a day, Char immediately ordered someone to bring food and drink to let Via rest. Taking advantage of letting Sharba go out to prepare, Char also followed, pulled Sharba aside, and asked in a low voice: "Are you very familiar with her, Sharba smiled: "Lord Via is the former captain of General Adric's personal guard, and he is my top boss, and the old people in our personal guard team are sincerely in awe of her, and they were all convinced by the whole camp back then."

Char nodded, didn't say anything, and then returned to the hall alone, and then pushed the servants in the hall away, and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I owed you that favor at the beginning, and I haven't repaid it properly, and Wei Ya's tone was cold: "You don't have to thank me, it was entrusted by others to save you at the beginning, if you want to thank others, thank others."

Char's daylight flashed: "Who is it? Who told you to save me?"

Wei Ya snorted, closed his mouth and didn't answer, but continued to eat by himself, Char waited for a while, and then smiled bitterly: "Since you don't want to say: I won't ask." It's just that Wei Ya finally raised his eyelids: "Just what?" Char shook his head: "I'm just a little worried in my heart."

After a pause, he glanced at the absence of anyone outside the door, and then said in a low voice: "The situation in the empire is rotten, the rebels are besieging Osgilia, and I don't know what the situation is in the imperial capital now." The Odin people are moving south again, and at this moment I am trapped in a lonely city, although the Odin army outside has left, but I am alone, so blindly defending is not a solution......"

Via sneered, a bit mocking in his tone, "I didn't think you're still a loyal Empire?"

Char shook his head: "When it comes to loyalty to the empire, I don't dare to say it, but when I receive kindness, I naturally have to repay it." The emperor treats me well, and at this time, if I abandon the city and run away, it will be a little too inferior. It's just that in this situation, there is a strong enemy outside, and there are no rescuers inside, so I'm worried that this place will not be able to hold on. Not to mention anything else, the Red Snow Army went south to look for food, and once they were replenished, they could wipe out my small city when they turned around. ”

After listening quietly, as if pondering for a while, she finally sighed, she looked up at Xia Ya for a long time, and suddenly said, "Evacuate." ”

"Huh?"

Via frowned, as if he didn't want to say it, but the final palace still said it: " Let me tell you the truth, I came all the way from the north, the march of the Odin people this time is very strange, several legions were hastily mobilized, and it was clear that it was a surprise attack, in addition to the Red Snow Army, I also knew that Hasting's Black Flag Army also went south, but it was bypassing the wildfire field, and the direction of the attack was the northwest of the empire, in addition to two Odin legions have also been pulled, but I don't know where the direction of their attack is, in short, this time, Odin can be regarded as sending all the legions that can be mobilized in the country to work...... In the northern part of the Byzantine Empire, there is no force that can resist for thousands of miles, I am afraid that ......"

"I'm afraid of what?"

Via sneered: "This time, even if Byzantium is not a dead country, the thousands of miles of land in the north will definitely no longer belong to Byzantium after the war." ”

Char's face changed, his heart was pounding, and he stared at Via-"Where did you get this news?"

Via frowned: "You don't care about this. ”

Char sank, just staring at Via, and after a while, he suddenly spoke: "It was Cavishir who asked you to save me last time." ”

He deliberately said this very slowly, his tone was understated, but his eyes were staring at Via, trying to capture the subtle changes in the expression on Via's face, but Via listened, but his expression was indifferent, he just glanced at Char so lightly, and he didn't admit it, nor did he deny it, but picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water.

Her expression made Char a little unsure, but the doubts in her heart deepened, and she continued to probe: "I don't understand, when I first joined the army, I was a nameless boy, how could Cavishir work a master like you to save me?

Via looked at the sky outside the window, and said lightly: "You don't have to be tempted, I won't answer you." ”

Char was slightly depressed in his heart, but then his heart moved, and he suddenly smiled: "I heard that Kavihir was assassinated in the imperial capital, you know the news, right?"

Sure enough, Via was finally no longer indifferent, a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at Char deeply. When Xia Ya saw Wei's reaction, he was more confident in his heart, and continued: "Originally, the sudden break between the royal family and the governors of the military region this time was too sudden. I also thought carefully that if Cavishir were alive, with his cleverness, even if he had to deal with those warlord henchmen, he would start a war so rashly, the strength of the royal family was already at a disadvantage, and it would be too reckless to break with the warlord party so openly. But Khavihir died suddenly, so the emperor was furious and immediately began to purge the warlords, which provoked the warlord party to rebel, which made sense...... But when I think about it, it doesn't seem to be that simple. ”

"Why?"

Char coughed: "The confrontation between the royal family and the military has been going on for several generations, and the strength of the two sides is compared, and the disadvantage of the royal family is getting bigger and bigger." If the royal family can continue to endure and slow down the plot, maybe there is still three points of hope. But if you openly use force to confront and everyone tears their faces to start a war, then the royal family is simply killing itself. I can think of such a simple truth, can't Kavihir and the Emperor think of it? But in the end, I still got this kind of scene, hum. ”

Via shook his head: "There is a large-scale invasion of Odin outside, and hundreds of thousands of rebels inside have openly erected anti-flags, I can't think of any hope for the royal family." ”

She was also a little dazed in her heart, and she couldn't help but say what she said in her heart, and she didn't care about the life or death of the royal family, the only reason why she was in such a hurry to rush back to the imperial capital was to hear the news of Kavehill's death and rush back to find out the truth of the matter.

Char also smiled bitterly: "Indeed, in the current situation, this Byzantine royal family has no chance of winning...... But I always feel that things are not so simple. ”

Wei didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, she silently finished the food, then stood up and glanced at Char = "I saved your life at the beginning) Now summon one to give you a piece of advice to evacuate one by one! Several legions of the Odin have gone south, and there are no troops in the north of the empire, and your little lonely city can't stop it. Taking advantage of the opportunity now, if you abandon the city and go south with your men, you may still have three points to live. ”

Char was about to say something, but suddenly he heard the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and Luke rushed in quickly, and hurriedly shouted: "My lord! Lord Green asked me to hurry up and report back, the Odin people outside are attacking the city again, please go to the city immediately!"

Char raised his eyebrows, immediately stood up, and sneered: "Oh, there are only a few thousand people left, and they are still restless?"

He was about to go out, and Via was already whispering behind him: "I'll go with you, I repelled the Odin, and I just took the opportunity to leave." ”

The Odin did attack the city.

Morka came to the city with 5,000 men who had been driven out of the wildfire locks, and received orders from his father Manninger before leaving, but Morka was extremely ashamed in his heart.

With his heart, this time he went on a southern expedition with the army just to establish meritorious service, but he didn't expect that the first thing his father ordered him to do was messed up for him, and without collecting food, not to mention, the five thousand male soldiers were actually driven out by a mob fed by wildfire.

Although that mysterious master is really terrifying, Morka is unwilling in his heart after all.

After arriving at Denzel and joining up with the 1,000 cavalry left behind by Manninger, the only thing on Morka's mind was to make a difference in order to redeem the impression he had left on his father's mind.

He looked at the city of Denzel although the walls were tall, but after all, the city was very small, and listened to the people who stayed behind to introduce the siege of the city two days ago, obviously there were not many defenders in this city, and the strength was weak, but he had grasped the weakness of his own side due to the lack of food and the lack of time.

If my father could capture the city of tens of thousands of troops, wouldn't he be able to turn the situation around in one fell swoop?

I have to say that this Morka is not all incompetent and reckless, he has also come up with a little way.

With his strength of five or six thousand, the defenders in the city of less than 1,000 may not have no chance if they really attack with all their might.

Moreover, the Odin did not succeed in taking the city before because they ran out of food and did not have time. And now Morka has a thousand cavalry, just killing reindeer to feed, it can support more than ten days, more than ten days, five thousand against hundreds, it is entirely possible to break through the city.

And Morka is not blindly reckless attacking the city, he thought about it for a long time, but he also came up with an idea. Morka divided his men into a team of five thousand men and sent a team out to cut down trees in all directions, raise timber and build equipment. The remaining four thousand-man teams took turns to come forward and make a feint. He ordered the besieging team to attack the city for an hour with a thousand troops, and did not need to fight hard, but only to make a loud noise to make the momentum of the siege, and try to harass the defenders of the city, so that the defenders of the city could not rest.

It's a really useful idea.

He Morka had the advantage of his forces, and several thousand troops took turns to advance, and while the other teams attacked the city, the rest of the troops rested and recuperated.

But the defenders in Denzel City are too few after all, and it is not enough for all of them to go to the city with less than a thousand people, where is there room to rest in shifts?

In one afternoon, the Odin had attacked the city more than ten times, and although each time they were shot back by the bows and arrows of the defenders of the city, they were not easy to hold on to the attack, and at night, the defenders were nervous all day, after all, they were tired.

But Green and Char finally didn't dare to really let the defenders rest, their own forces were too weak, if they really slacked off and rested, the enemy only needed a fierce attack, maybe the city would really be broken.

Therefore, knowing that the enemy is a tired enemy's strategy, but no matter how strong Green is, he has no soldiers in his hands, and he can't think of any good way to deal with it.

At this time, Weiya, who went to the city with Char, also took into account the overall situation, and did not force Char to let her out of the city at this time.

Until the night fell again, the defenders didn't even have time to eat dinner, and Morka outside the city sent a team of 1,000 people to harass, the Odin people approached the city wall with their shields, and they were not really desperate, but the loud noise also made the defenders in the city dare not relax, and the crossbow arrows were shot out like money, and after a while, the Odin retreated, and another team came up, so that the defenders were tired to cope.

Char was also anxious and annoyed on the city wall, if he had a new force in his hands now, not much, even if it was only three or five hundred, he would dare to take people out of the city to charge the battle.

But after all, the defenders in the city are too weak, in the battle of the Arbuckt Plain, although he has a record of charging with two hundred miscellaneous cavalry, but don't forget, even if those two hundred cavalry are miscellaneous cards, they are also soldiers in the Rhodria Cavalry Regiment! The soldiers in the Raudria Cavalry Regiment, even if they are not the main elite, can be placed in other troops, they are all elite soldiers.

But what is there in the city now? A rabble, a real rabble! If you can defend the city to the death, you may have some courage to go out of the city and fight in the field...... Facing the opposition is Odin's elite Red Snow Army...... Hmph, it's better to shake your head quickly.

It took a night, and by dawn, the defenders were already staggering, these guys were not elite, they had been defending for almost three days, everyone was exhausted, and many people couldn't even stand on their feet.

Seeing that the sky was bright, and the Odin people outside the city sent a team of people to make noise, Char felt a chord in his heart and glanced at Green: "I'll take people out to fight for a while!

Although Green was unwilling, there was no better way at the moment, he groaned for a while, and said slowly: "How many people do you bring?"

Char thought about it: "Afrecate's original fifty mercenaries, as well as Hawke's thirty mercenaries, plus the original Russell's mercenaries, make up a hundred!"

A hundred people attacked the opponent's army formation of thousands of people, or Odin's elite, it was too few. But at this moment, the only people in the city who can be regarded as "elite" are these former mercenaries, and the local defenders are really overwhelmed. Green wanted to come for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "You can try, but you have to understand that the danger of going out of the city to fight, going out of the city to face the battle, no matter what the situation of the battle, will not open the city to respond......! You are the main general, or I will lead people out to charge the battle!"

Char immediately shook his head, looked at Green's face, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't believe in your martial arts, it's just that the matter of defending the city is just right, although I am the nominal commander-in-chief, but the military strategy depends on you, out of the city to fight, in case something happens...... I'm dead, as long as you're there, I can continue to command and defend the city, but if something happens to you...... To be honest, our army is slightly limited, and I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it!"

Green is not a person who is a mother of Fan, and he did not hesitate at this moment, and immediately said categorically: "Okay! If you die, I will definitely defend until the last moment, and I would rather die than surrender!"

Char laughed and glanced at Green, both of them were tough men, and they didn't need to say anything at the moment, after looking at each other, they didn't say anything. Char immediately turned around and went to count the manpower, and in a short time, he gathered the former soldiers, gathered enough 100 warriors, and did not hide it, so he simply said: "Go out of the city to fight, nine deaths, we will do our best! If you are afraid of death, you can withdraw now, and I will not blame you! Those who go out with me, as long as they come back with their lives, will be rewarded with 100 gold coins each!"

Some of these mercenaries were originally Alfrecat's subordinates, and Char was kind to them. And Hawke's subordinates, who have been to the wildfire field with him, have witnessed the majestic posture of Char and Sharpa charging thousands of horse thieves, and their hearts have already broken for him, and at this moment Char's words came out, no one flinched, they all raised their swords and shouted.

Seeing that the morale was high, Char immediately asked people to prepare to sling out of the city, and at the same time instructed the archers in the city to prepare to suppress the attack of the Odin.

Green's expression was a little complicated, and he didn't say much, just watched Char and the giant's hand.

The defenders on the city wall fired a volley of bows and crossbows, suppressing the pace of the Odin's attack, and Char was about to take the opportunity to go down the city, when he suddenly heard Grimm's shout: "Stop!Wait a minute!!"

Standing on top of the city, Grimm's expression suddenly changed, and he looked north!

I saw that on the northern horizon, a faint firelight could be seen, and a thick column of smoke rose into the sky in the distance!

Beacon Smoke?

Not only did Green see it, but most of the people on the city wall saw it, and Char also looked surprised: "Yi, is it coming for reinforcements?!"

Under the beacon fire in the distance to the north, I saw a cluster of shadows of people and horses on the horizon of the road in the distance, although it was a little vague and ruthless in the distance, but the figures were more and more, faint, and I was afraid that there were thousands.

Green saw it in his eyes, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Order! Smoke !! fast!!"

There was originally a beacon tower on the city tower, which was necessary for the city defense of the frontier city, and Green gave an order, and he didn't wait for his subordinates to act, he snatched a torch with his own hands and rushed to the chair next to the beacon tower and threw the torch on it, and suddenly the fire lit up, and the smoke billowed up!

Under the beacon fire in the distance, it seemed that the other party also saw the beacon smoke rising from the city wall, and suddenly the shadows of those people and horses in the distance surged!

On the main road, the sound of horses' hooves could soon be heard in the distance, and I saw a group of cavalry raising dust behind them, coming from afar!

This team of cavalry turned out, the lineup was majestic, but the formation was rigorous in the gallop, quite lawful, although there was no banner, and from a distance, it seemed that the service equipment was also miscellaneous, not like the regular army of the empire, but two thousand cavalry galloped over, and naturally there was a mighty momentum!

The sudden arrival of the cavalry in the distance, the Odin people outside the city naturally also noticed, after a burst of military trumpets, the Odin people who were besieging the city quickly retreated, tightly defended the line, and waited for the battle.

The cavalry rushed to a place less than half a mile from the battlefield below the city before suddenly stopped, spread out in formation in the wilderness, and faintly stared at the Odin army outside the city.

At this moment, Green was still a little puzzled: "Strange, where did the cavalry come from? Could it be the trick of the Odin?"

But Char saw the original group of cavalry on the city wall, but suddenly his face became weird, listening to Green's words, Char's face was complicated, and he smiled bitterly: "Don't doubt it, this is not Odin, it's the ...... who came to our aid."

"Not Odin, but this group of cavalry looks majestic and elite, but it is not our emperor's ** team......"

What else did Green have to say, but there was a sharpa on the city wall who also saw the original group of cavalry clearly, and suddenly laughed: "Haha! Lord Green, don't be confused, these people are indeed our reinforcements!"

In the distance of the wilderness, the original group of cavalry, led by a group of cavalry, slowly ran out of a horse, a black majestic war horse, a man on the horse, burly and strong, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a lance hammer in his hand!

Who is this man?

Naturally, it's our eldest lady Nenei, who is looking for a husband.

Nene rode out a few steps, raised the prism hammer in his hand, and nearly two thousand horse thieves shouted loudly, and the roar of two thousand people came from afar, and the momentum was quite amazing!

The Odin people outside the city were waiting for the battle, and I have to say that Morka, as the eldest son of Manninger, did have some ability, and when he saw the arrival of the enemy, he immediately ordered a queue, put the formation very tightly, and did not hurriedly send men to rush forward to kill!

He knew very well that he was mostly infantry, and there were originally a thousand reindeer cavalry left, but most of the mounts were slaughtered and filled. If you rush to meet the battle, then once the lineup is chaotic, the enemy cavalry will charge over, and the consequences will be unbearable.

When Nene rushed to the battlefield with the cavalry, seeing that the Odin people had already lined up and gathered together, they were strict and cautious, and they had no chance to take advantage of it, so they couldn't help but sigh a little in their hearts, but they just led the cavalry to shout and demonstrate for a while.

Since there are reinforcements outside, or 2,000 elite cavalry, Char naturally doesn't have to venture out of the city, and only sends people to raise banners on the city wall, echoing the people inside from a distance.

After Nene understood, he did not attack, but only led the cavalry to make a persecuting posture, bluffing, and persecuting the Odin little by little.

In a short time, the sound of trumpets was heard in the Odin army, and then the lineup began to change, and two or three hundred reindeer cavalry were divided, cruising on one side of the array, and then the infantry array began to turn around, and the rear team changed into the front team, and little by little they left the battlefield. And two or three hundred reindeer cavalry fell behind in the last break.

Morka's command was strict, and his men were all elite warriors in the tribe, without any confusion, and carefully separated from the battlefield with the people, and after pulling out to a safe distance, he calmly led the team, and even the barracks and tents outside the city were gone, and he slowly went south.

On the city wall, Green watched the Odin retreat, and the surrounding defenders were cheering, but he was the only one with a complicated expression and a frown.

"What's wrong? Aren't you happy that the Odin people have been reinstated?" Char smiled and patted Green.

Green looked at the back of the Odin in the distance, his eyes flickered, and he whispered: "Manninger, the commander of the Red Snow Army, is a famous general among Odin, shrewd and cunning. And the current leader of the Odin people is not a mediocre person, the strategy of the previous tired enemy is cunning, and the retreat at this moment is also rigorous and moderate, and it does not give us the slightest chance to pursue. Alas...... Although there are heroes and heroes in our Byzantine Empire, but now the country is rotten, and I am afraid that the blood of our own people will be drained in the civil war! These Odin people are eyeing each other, and there are so many heroes...... I'm just afraid that the fortunes of the empire are worried!"
