When the army of bandits reached the city of Toth, they immediately surrounded the small city. In the following ten days, the fight started without saying a word. Inside and outside the city were full of corpses.

The black bandits have very few siege equipment, not even many bows and arrows, so they mainly rely on cloud ladders and ants to attack the city, and there are very few siege equipment in the city, and bows and arrows are even rarer, so the two sides can only engage in very primitive hand-to-hand combat. It's just such a hand-to-hand fight, and the level of tragedy is so wonderful and high-level.

Although the casualties of the bandits were several times higher, the main test for the side defending the city was psychological pressure. The strings are tense all day long, and they can collapse at any time. And if a section of the wall is breached, the whole city will be destroyed.

And the bandits' side is also angry. In the first few days, the siege of the city hardly used the elite of the bandits, and the burial of the moat and the siege of the city were all cannon fodder. But Higgins couldn't hold it anymore, and he couldn't afford to delay it either. So Higgins has already decided: tomorrow he will personally lead the main forces and launch a full-scale attack on the city of Toth.

......

A sparse grove was crammed with more than five thousand horses. Everyone was desperately stuffing bread with bacon, butter and sugar into their mouths, and the horses were eating black beans and forage with beaten eggs.

Now everyone is convinced of Dipp's command. On the road he led, there were almost no bandits, even a few of them, and they seemed to have opened their eyes, and they could be ambushed and destroyed every time. Moreover, Dipu also "conjured" a large amount of food from the storage ring every day, so that all the soldiers and horses could eat and drink. This even gives those soldiers the illusion that they have. Is this a war? It's just an outing.

By this time, however, Dip had already gathered all the officers: "Everyone, thank you for being with us all the way! Now we are less than twenty miles from the back camp of the bandits. So now start resting, get up in the middle of the night and march, and early tomorrow morning, launch a general attack on the camp of the bandits. Good luck to you all, God willing!"

"Boom!" such an unexpected order suddenly made everyone explode.

Someone asked, puzzled, "My lord, didn't you say Youdou?"

Dipu smiled slightly: "You fight to find opportunities, we have come around such a big circle, also to find opportunities." And now the opportunity has come. The back camp of the bandits. They are all old and weak, and there is a lot of money and baggage they have looted, and we are attacking with the whole army this time, just to break their backbones. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, among those of us. Some of them have shame on their backs, and some of them have families and neighbors in the city of Toth. If we don't fight, how can we give an account to the Empire? How can we give an account to the commoners who believe in us? We are all knights! Have we forgotten the creed of knights? Valor, sacrifice, honor!"

"And tomorrow morning's attack is completely a surprise attack, and it is we, the knights armed to the teeth, facing the old and weak of the black bandits. Are you afraid? I don't want to force anyone. Those who don't want to go can stay. But when I touched my heart, I was going crazy. I am the Imperial Knight, but also a Knight of the Holy See and a Saint of Light, and I don't want to be poked in the back and scolded by others - coward. I'm going to fight hard!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the more he spoke, the higher his voice: "In tomorrow's battle, all the heavy cavalry will charge at the forefront with me, and all the light cavalry will follow closely behind, leaving no one behind." All of them went to the camp of the bandits. Even if you die, you will die on the battlefield. As long as the black bandits passing by, none will be left. To win this honor for the Empire and the Holy See. Who wants to share this honor with me?

It was quiet for a while, but it was still the friends who broke up the scene. Willy and Heidelberg stepped forward and said, "We do." ”

"I do!" said Julia, the only female knight, who also raised her hand, and gave Kay a strange look, and raised his arm.

"We do!" several knights from the Starflame Knights crowded to the front. And Joseph hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "All of us Starflame are willing to follow the Lord!"

"We are willing!" several folk "knights" also signed up loudly.

"I do. ”

"I ...... Go with you. ”

......

Realizing that only Sanger was silent, Dipu looked at him viciously. I saw him bow his head weakly, and finally whispered a few words: "I'll go too." ”

Seeing that everyone agreed to come down, Dipu smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay!

......

There is one truth in this world - no matter how well you plan. I can't keep up with the fast changes!

As a man with countless minor shortcomings, Dipp's conscience is still alive. Therefore, when he encountered a wave of refugees, he was very unbearable, and finally provided most of the grain and grass that he had managed to collect.

However, there is a shortage of food and grass. Dipp's "long-term fighting" tactics simply could not be carried out. Moreover, the organization of the bandits is very loose, so the scope of their spread is quite large. Originally, Dipu thought that it would only take two or three days to get around their flanks and rear, but he did not expect that the circle was far greater than the original estimate, and it took more than ten days. This cost a lot of food and grass. And now the grain and grass in Dipu's storage ring can only supply the troops for seven or eight days. If you don't fight, you won't be able to fight at all.

And there is a ruthlessness in Dipu's nature. His idea was very simple - I didn't have a good time. Then don't think about it. So he decided to gamble with the whole army and burn the heavy grain and grass in the camp of the black bandits. Although there is no time to scout, Dipu will definitely fight it.

If the black bandits can be beaten, even if Dipu and they flee because of lack of food, the black bandits will still be on guard against the counterattack of this cavalry from time to time, and they will not be able to attack the city with all their might, but they will also support the city of Toth in disguise.

But before he sets off, Dip still has to be concerned about a few key people. He called the old man who had returned to the camp: "Master Xiong, the master and this little girl will be handed over to you, don't let them be hurt." ”

Haugh glanced at Felicia, who was sulking at Dipp, and smiled, "Of course, you kid thought I was going to die with you?"

"Eat, eat, eat!" a snickering laugh rang out all around.

"Pick that star!" Albert also laughed and scolded, "Don't pay attention to the boss, this street still thinks I'm just like him." Old bear, let's go together when the time comes. ”

Dipp smiled and ignored Albert. He continued, "Willy, Hyde, Diego! Let the donkey and the short-legged protect you. ”

Sensing that Willy and Heideberg were still talking, Dipu raised his hand and said, "Someone has to be the commander of the battlefield, right?" )
