Hearing this, Geraldor's heart couldn't help but tighten, and he hurriedly asked, "What turn?

Napotulis glanced at him with a smile, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not Haddou, this kind of military aircraft is a big thing, even Angel doesn't know." How could I possibly know?

It's just that morale is high in Gad City right now. Haddou is well prepared, and the defense system outside the city of Haligard, you can also see.

If you want to attack, you will have to pay a considerable price.

As for the siege, Haddou had already prepared for it, hoarding a large amount of food supplies in the city.

Even if you surround him for a year, he can withstand it.

However, I am afraid that at that time, your peacekeepers will not be able to withstand it first. ”

Geraldor was speechless for a moment.

He has been with Lord Luo for a long time, and he has also learned a lot of things in Chapter 1065 and pulling eggs with each other (asking for a monthly pass). It is clearly known that the consumption of food and materials by this 500,000 army every day is an astronomical amount.

Not only that, on the other hand, although the logistics department now uses a large number of four-wheeled pure steel carriages manufactured by Feiying Company, which has greatly improved its transportation capacity, it is too long on the front line and the road is difficult to travel. For every kilogram of supplies transported from the rear to the front, basically the same amount of supplies is consumed.

Taken together, this has reached a prohibitively frightening number.

Napotulis smiled, then took a thick envelope from his bosom and threw it on the table.

Then there was a 'tom, 'tom, 'tom'.

The vellum envelope slid some distance across the smooth table top and came to rest in the middle of the table.

Geraldor's finger pressed the envelope, pulled it in front of him, then raised his head, looked at Napotulis, and said in a deep voice, "What is this?"

"Detailed information on the defenders of the city of Harrigad, as well as a map of the perimeter of the perimeter. "The last time you were in Desai, you attacked too smoothly... They have begun to suspect that someone has leaked secrets, and they are stepping up their investigation. ”

Geraldor hummed lightly, Chapter 1065 pulling eggs at each other (asking for a monthly pass) didn't care too much about it. These southerners only provide information to save their lives.

Since you have become a mole... You have to have the consciousness to pay the corresponding price. There is no such thing as a sweet sugar cane in this world. Let them take advantage of all the bitches.

Napotulis looked at his indifferent expression, and couldn't help but feel annoyed in his heart, but in the end he could only turn into a deep sigh in his heart.

Speaking from his heart, if he sees someone as a wall grass falling with the wind and betraying his own people, he will also be ashamed of the other party's behavior.

However, now the shape shì is stronger than the person. The other party killed at the door of his own house, is it for a Hadu... Do you have to let your family bury him?

There may be such brain-dead people, but they are by no means them~!

Thinking of this, Napotulis paused slightly, and then said, "Also, Haddou has trained more than 100,000 militiamen in the past few months.

Take this to your boss and he'll use it.

Oh, by the way, the mysterious man in black beside Haddou has been gone for a long time... This sneaky guy seems to be important. ”

Geraldor took the envelope into his arms.

Napotulis was lazy, stood up and picked up the hat next to him to leave, and said, "My boss also wants to end this war... If you want to solve Haddou as much as possible, we can help.

Of course, the conditions remain the same. ”

After speaking, learning the common etiquette of the old and the army, he reached out and touched his hat lightly, and then turned to leave.

"Are the conditions the same?" Gerardor told Loloringe the latest progress of the negotiations that night, and after listening to the other party's conditions, he sighed and said, "This is not easy. Let's talk to each other about each other. ”

Gerardor asked puzzledly, "My lord, what do you mean by that?"

Lorraine smiled and said, "I'll tell you a story." A merchant has died... The coffin rested in a family's house. Then the merchant's son came to retrieve the coffin. Someone plucked the head of the household behind his back, saying that this coffin was a must be bought by this person, and he should be asked for more money. The head of the household offered a high price of 10,000 gold coins to be a son, and someone sued sù for being a son, and he could only buy this coffin for you, and it was impossible to sell it to others... The son was right when he thought about it, so he only offered the price of ten gold coins. ”

Geraldor laughed and said, "That's kind of interesting, and then what?"

Lorraine stretched out his hands and said, "No more." This offer makes sense on both sides. Just like we are now. Both the seller and the buyer are the only fixed ones, and the price is not negotiable. ”

Geraldor understood it well and nodded.

Lorraine said distressedly: "Now I am in a dilemma. After all, it is up to them to solve Haddou. But now it's good to agree to their terms, not to mention that the Almohads are unwilling, and we can't say anything on our own side. ”

Geraldor hesitated, looked at Lorraine, and said, "What do you mean, my lord?"

Lorraine shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "I think their conditions are understandable, and the Almohads are not ours anyway." But the so-called negotiation, there must always be bargaining to break the current deadlock, and what is needed is a turn in the other party's mouth.

By the way, what was the expression on the other side's negotiator when he talked about it?"

"It's calm," Gerardor thought for a moment, "I don't see that he's bluffing, maybe it's a subordinate being bluffed." ”

Then Gerardor learned how to negotiate and made Napotulis's expression and tone vivid.

Lorraine pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head with a smile and said, "Haddou, this guy is also very powerful." If we can't see him with our own eyes, we won't dare to let our guard down.

Negotiations are just icing on the cake, and only victory on the battlefield is real. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look out of the tent.

At this time, the lights outside the big tent were bright.

The originally dark ground was covered with tents of various colors, and countless flags were hunting and waving in the night wind.

As far as the eye could see, the mountains were full of camp lights, and the light of the fire extended to the sky, illuminating the sky red.

Under the light of the lamp, the stars in the sky were also dwarfed and eclipsed.

At the beginning of November, peacekeepers from three sides of Harua ... It has become an iron wall, and gradually converges under the city of Haligard. Firmly encircled the city.

The new Almohad army was also ordered by Empress Isabella to drive all the main forces to the city, and even actively asked Archduke Julius to fight... To be the main force in the siege war, the enthusiasm is very high.

Without seeing the bodies of Amor and Haddou, Queen Isabella and the bigwigs of the government will not sleep well at night.

For Haligard, the second largest city in Almohads, Queen Isabella is inevitable. This southern central city with a population of 500,000 cannot afford to lose Queen Isabella.

If the peacekeepers were to blow up the entire city to the ruins of the Haligard's artillery, the losses would be too great for the Almohads.

In this world... As the boss, everyone has to play their own hooligans at home and other people's hooligans abroad, and they go around maintaining the peace of others just like maintaining deputies, relying on hard power.

And this hard power comes from population and economy, and cities like Haligard are the right concentration of both.

Although the peacekeepers have been very restrained in the war, they have always been very restrained in the war, and they can be called civilized divisions... A mighty teacher, a benevolent and righteous teacher.

Everywhere they went, they helped the local people reduce their burden, and took the initiative to dig the ground and carry water to repair the houses... Give candy, chocolates, lollipops and so on to the children.

Only in the face of resistance, or in order to capture the city, firepower is used. Never show your tyranny in war.................. Well, almost never show your tyrannical side in war, or overuse firepower and destroy entire cities.

But this is Haligard, and there is a guy in the city named Haddou, who is the god of war of Almohads, and is highly respected among the southerners... It has been operating here for decades.

His name is on the mainland, and he can stop children crying at night, and for decades, it has been a huge shadow hanging over the Ruman Empire, the largest power on the mainland.

Against him, Queen Isabella was unsure of her heart.

After all, the other party is too powerful. In case the two sides kill the red eye, the Ruman people will definitely not hesitate to pay a price... Turn this place into a scorched earth.

The 300,000 regular troops sent by the Ruman Empire did not really come to selflessly help the feudal imperialist emperors.

The Ruman people are here for revenge~!

No matter how fanciful the external propaganda is, no matter how rich and civilized, stable and peaceful, just and harmonious, etc., it is almost necessary to openly shout that we Ruman people are the embodiment of justice, the messengers of peace, and the hope of mankind.

But everyone, including the Ruman Empire, knows very well that the nature of these dogs and cubs is actually small-bellied, and they will repay it, and they only take advantage of it and do not suffer losses.

For Hadu, the number one enemy of the Ruman Empire, the Ruman people have long hated the itchy root of their teeth, and they can eat him raw without some sweet noodle sauce.

In order to take out Haddou, the Rumans definitely don't mind blowing up the entire city of Haligard to rubble, it is an Almohad city anyway. It doesn't hurt to ruin them.

The only trouble was the effort of finding gold or something in the ruins, but it was a little bit of a hassle compared to watching Haddou die at their hands.

This is also why as soon as the Senate of the Ruman Empire heard that it was going to fight Hadu, more than 30 old immortal senators immediately suffered a cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

And then against them, 'fight against the emperor, and the joy is endless. The struggle against the bureaucracy is infinitely enjoyable, and the struggle against the people is endless, and the broad masses of the people affectionately call it "the nature of the brainless without a lower limit, unanimously voted to send troops."

Immediately, an army of 300,000 went on an expedition to help Almohad put down the rebellion without spending a penny from others.

The Ruman Empire is fully supported from top to bottom, just to avenge the country~!

Let everyone know that the Ruman people are uncles at all times, and they are uncles who must not be offended.

Queen Isabella's fight was only to use a straw rope with thin hair to hold the beast as much as possible, so as not to let the Rumans, who enjoyed the pleasure of revenge, play too high.

But if Lorraine knew what she was thinking, she would have scoffed at it, and Queen Isabella's idea was too wishful thinking.

Not even determined to sacrifice Haligard, and still expect the Rumans to help to the end?

Instead of worrying about the peacekeepers smashing Haligard, she should worry about her own new army.

In this regard, the reputation of the Forces nouvelles is really not very good, and murder and arson, and misconduct are the norm.

At this time, more than 300,000 troops, including the New Army, surrounded Haligad from all sides, waiting for a final attack.

In the process of waiting for others, Archduke Julius was not idle... A wall was built around Haligard, and a posture was made to prepare for a long siege.

After all the preparations were completed, on November 5th, in the cold wind of early winter... The first offensive officially began.

Artillery positions have long been built, where all the artillery of the peacekeepers and the Forces nouvelles are concentrated, and the firepower of more than one hundred and fifty guns is unprecedentedly strong.

At the front of the camp were the new Almohads army, ready to attack.

Peacekeepers are ready to press the back of the line.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Archduke Julius appeared on time under the Chinese army.

At this moment, the 300,000 troops are arrayed around the Grand Duke, with banners like forests and mighty troops. In the distance, only a black and oppressive figure could be seen in the military formation.

Archduke Julius looked around at his legions with an indifferent expression, and then stared at the city of Haligard in the distance... Smiling and muttering to himself, "Old Hadu, just like I swear, I'm here, don't let me down." ”

A few years later, however, Archduke Julian did not write so in his own handwritten chronicles. He wrote the famous words that made countless later generations read with blood boiling: "I heard, I arrived, I conquered".

Lorraine sighed helplessly, which he was going to keep for himself.

"Let's get started. Archduke Julian looked up at the sky and said calmly... The sky was slightly overcast, and the wind was slightly cold.

The artillery roared in unison, and the people near the Chinese army could even feel the tremors coming from the ground... More than 100 shells formed a black shadow visible to the naked eye, and fell in an arc towards the city of Haligard, and a puff of smoke immediately rose near the towering walls of Haligad, and after a while, the dull sound of explosions was transmitted back to the peacekeepers.

The ≡ light - artillery fire had little effect, most of the shells did not hit the city walls, and fell inside and outside the walls.

However, after the first round of shelling, there was no longer a figure on the walls of Haligard, and the Southern Army had learned to be smart after fighting for so long.

After several rounds of shelling, the walls of Haligard remained high. Haddou had already strengthened the entire city wall with the earth excavated from the trenches.

The artillery shifted its target and aimed it at the trench defense system ... After a round of mulching, with an order, the new army rushed to the trench with a shout.

Julius didn't look at the new soldiers besieging the city below, as if indifferent to their actions, looked at the city of Haligard and asked, "Where is Haddou?"

A staff officer next to him pointed to the center of the city in Haligard and said, "In the center of the inner city." Haddou usually stays in his mansion. ”

"Can the artillery hit it?"

The artillery commander of the security army on his side immediately replied: "The new artillery can... The old-fashioned one doesn't work, it's out of range. ”

Grand Duke Julius nodded and said, "Turn the old nest of the Haddu family into ruins for me, say hello to him, and the evil guest will come to the door." ”

The locations of many important targets in Haligard City had already been determined, and after the order was given, several black clouds of smoke were quickly released from Haligard City, and thick smoke rose into the air.

Under the black smoke, flickering fires could be seen, and it was clear that the artillery fire had set the nearby buildings on fire.

The soldiers of the Forces nouvelles who were attacking directly approached the trenches, and in addition to their equipment, each of them carried a straw bag filled with earth and stones.

They ran to the edge of the trench, dropped the bags of land on them, turned and ran back.

The actions of the Forces nouvelles were clearly unexpected by the Southern Army, and their movements were not stopped by the Southern Army at the beginning.

After the Southern Army reacted, a dense rain of arrows flew out of the trench and shot at the new army that was carrying earth and filling the ditch. It can be seen that there are not a few soldiers hidden in the trenches.

The standby artillery then turned its muzzle and slammed into the area where the bow and arrow had been fired. But those shells often hit the ground, and they can't be effective at all.

Lorraine looked at it and sighed slightly, this is a protracted battle without any technical content.

Peacekeepers have learned the lesson of Desai and are no longer attacking complex defenses, but are using the simplest and most brutal methods to fill them up.

At the worst of all, a road wide enough to reach the city of Haligard.

Obviously, this amount of work cannot be completed in a short time and a half.

Haddou, however, took the advantages of the trench system to the extreme, and thought that there would be a means to deal with it later.

It will be a tug-of-war around earthworks, and the time will be measured in months.

Edin Island is a large island in the middle of the ocean, with a population of more than 100,000, and was originally a strategically important island, with countless business travelers stationed back and forth.

Since the beginning of the war, Edin Island's moderate distance has made it an important transit point and safe haven for sea transport for peacekeepers.

Some of the military materiel procured from other countries is transported by the seller to Edin Island, where it is unloaded and then transported to Almohad by peacekeeping force transport ships.

And the convoy of transports departing from Ruman will also stop here for a short time to recuperate.

The importance of Edin Island cannot be overstated.

The Ruman Empire stationed a naval fleet here to guard it, and there were tens of thousands of troops on the island.

The port of Edin Island has just been expanded and is several times larger than before, but it is still full of ships of all sizes.

At noon that day, an old man in a gray robe walked tremblingly along the road leading to the port, wearing a hood on his head, covering his whole face tightly. However, in the early winter, his outfit is not eye-catching.

He was accompanied by a sturdy young man, with dark and rough skin, the usual complexion of a man who had worked by the sea for many years.

Despite the cold weather, the young man was still wearing a single coat, revealing his muscular muscles, and he knew by looking at his dress that he was a porter on the docks.

Turning an intersection, two men stood on the hillside overlooking the harbor at their feet. The old man stretched out his hand and said softly, "This is it." ”！！！
