Watsongill's territory is only more than sixty miles away from the small town of Parvas, and the three thousand cavalry led by Li Yunyang are all lightly armed, and it only takes half a day's work for the army to reach its destination.

Fort Arte, the territory of Watsongil, in front of the fort is a wide river, more than 30 meters wide, the river flows all year round, which not only provides domestic water for the residents of Fort Arte, but also is a natural moat.

Li Yunyang did not lead his army straight to Fort Arte, but temporarily hid on a nearby hillside, observing the terrain around Fort Arte.

This castle, completely built according to the war fortress, is located between two mountains, built on the mountain, the castle stretches for dozens of miles, the two sides of the mountain peak are carved into straight walls, providing a natural barrier for both sides of the fortress.

In front of the fortress was a city wall as high as twenty meters, which was only more than ten meters shorter than the height of the wall of the Star Glory Imperial Palace, but it was also beyond the height of the normal siege ladder.

Not only that, but the wall that connects the two mountains, about every three meters in height, there is a row of tiny holes, only the size of a cup, and the cold light inside flashes, as if there are sharp weapons.

Li Yunyang just glanced at it, and then judged that there were probably crossbows in these holes!

These repeaters have a small range and do not do much in normal times, but when the enemy breaks through the defensive line, erects siege ladders, and climbs the city walls, they are a great weapon for harvesting lives.

And even when the arrows are exhausted, the soldiers defending the walls can use their spears to attack the enemy, which is a world of difference compared to the small walls of the town of Parvas.

Once the empire is at war, a territory like Watsongill will definitely not be devastated by the war too soon, and it can also use this military fortress town to seize other towns and fortresses and expand the territory.

It is not an exaggeration to call such a fortress a single man, it seems that this Watson Gill has a lot of ambitions, and he has built his territory into a first-class war fortress.

Although Li Yunyang's military ability is good, it is obviously impossible for him to lead more than 4,000 soldiers to capture Fort Arte. And no matter who comes in exchange for it, if you want to break through this kind of military fortress, unless you take human lives, it is impossible to conquer it!

The soldiers sent by Duke Zhuoen all looked at Li Yunyang with some concern, for fear that he would order the whole army to attack and make them cannon fodder.

However, the soldiers of Wagle and Parvas all looked like they were at home, and they were not worried at all whether they would die in the next war. Instead, he was worried about whether Li Yunyang would send them into battle to kill the enemy.

It's just that Li Yunyang has never thought of storming, and attacking is the stupidest thing to do in a fortress like this, which is almost difficult to conquer.

Seeing that the sky was gradually brightening, Li Yunyang beckoned to Wagle and said, "Pass my order, the whole army will go down the mountain, take the official road, and set off for Fort Arte." ”

Everyone was confused, and they didn't know why Li Yunyang gave such a brainless order, because the place where they were now was only a few thousand meters away from Fort Arte, and they could reach the bottom of the city wall with a single rush.

However, the official road of Fort Atte is on the opposite side of this hill, and if you take the official road, it is obviously a waste of time, and it will not help the war.

Although the soldiers sent by Duke Zhuo En had sworn to Duke Zhuo En that they would completely obey Li Yunyang's orders, in their opinion, Li Yunyang was a general of the defeated army after all, and he did not have the ability to lead these elite soldiers.

And in the past two days, following Li Yunyang's side, in addition to the rapid march is a rapid march, it is finally looking like a battle, but I didn't expect Li Yunyang to take them out of the main battlefield and come to attack Watson Gill's territory.

At that time, these soldiers thought that they had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions under Li Yunyang, so they did not express their dissatisfaction with Li Yunyang.

But after seeing the military fortress-like Fort Art, the soldiers' hearts were half cold, first, they were afraid that Li Yunyang would treat them as cannon fodder, and secondly, they felt that Li Yunyang did not understand the situation of Fort Arte, so he dared to carry out a surprise attack with only a few thousand cavalry, which made them feel that Li Yunyang was simply a confused general.

At this time, Li Yunyang's order came, and these soldiers from Duke Zhuo'en were all reluctant, but because of the military order, they had to move forward to the official road.

It's just that the pace of everyone's actions is slow, as if they are expressing a silent protest against Li Yunyang.

How could Li Yunyang not see this, but now that he still has the time to use these soldiers, he is too lazy to say it, let them grind, anyway, after the war, there is time to deal with them.

"The army in front immediately stops, this is Lord Watson's territory, if you dare to take another step, don't blame us for being polite!"

To everyone's surprise, when they came to the moat, all the soldiers on the walls of Fort Artre disappeared, leaving only a middle-aged man in a gray robe, standing alone on the city wall, shouting to stop Li Yunyang's army.

Moreover, Li Yunyang found that even the soldiers guarding the city gate were all gone, but the city gate was still wide open, and the entire castle seemed to be completely undefended.

However, the suspension bridge that was retracted high isolated Li Yunyang and them from the moat.

The middle-aged man in the gray robe on the city wall glanced at Li Yunyang's army, roughly calculated the number of people, and then said with a smile: "With three or four thousand people, you dare to attack my Atefort, but it's really bold, do you dare to report it, let me see which stupid lord has such courage!"

The middle-aged man spoke in a very arrogant tone, as if he didn't take thousands of them in his eyes, and he was not afraid of angering Li Yunyang between his words and letting him order the siege of the city.

However, seeing the situation in front of him, Li Yunyang smiled. He also planned to pretend to be the lord of other territories to lure out the current commander of Fort Arte, and then use the flying beast to fly to the walls of Fort Arte, kill the soldiers guarding the city gate, and then let Varger lead the troops to break through.

But now Li Yunyang felt that his plan didn't seem to be necessary, and he was sure that the army stationed at Fort Atte would definitely not exceed five hundred!

Otherwise, how could there not be a single soldier patrolling the city walls, and even the soldiers at the city gates were all withdrawn.

You must know that Li Yunyang took his soldiers to observe for a while on the hill near Fort Arte, and formulated a plan before sending troops to Fort Arte.

At that time, there were clearly soldiers patrolling the walls of Fort Arte, but now only the middle-aged man was left.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, if according to the normal situation, when you see an enemy attacking, no matter which general it is, you will immediately blow the horn and send soldiers to defend it strictly. It will not be like a middle-aged man, who withdraws all the defenders and puts on a posture of letting the enemy attack.

And as an ordinary general, when he encounters this situation, he does not dare to attack, because he can't figure out the reality of the enemy, who can be sure whether there is a large number of enemy troops in ambush behind the city gate.

To be able to come up with this kind of strategy in a short period of time, I have to say that the middle-aged man in the gray robe does have some ability, but who is Li Yunyang, the trick of the middle-aged man, even if he can fool everyone, he will definitely not be able to fool him!

Looking at the middle-aged man standing on the city wall nonchalantly, looking into the distance, and didn't seem to take them in his eyes at all, Li Yunyang couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "Play the empty city plan with me?" Hmph, my ancestors have already played rotten thousands of years ago, and you still dare to use this trick on me?"

If the middle-aged man sent all the soldiers to guard to the death, it would cause a little trouble to Li Yunyang, but using an empty city plan against him would be a self-defeating one!

Li Yunyang didn't pay attention to the middle-aged man's provocation at all, but ordered to Wagger: "Let everyone prepare to attack, once the drawbridge falls, all go straight to the city gate, and after entering the city, seize the control of the city gate as quickly as possible." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Since the defensive retreat of the General's Palace, the soldiers of Wagle and Parvas have always absolutely carried out Li Yunyang's orders, and they will not have the slightest doubt at all. So after the order was delivered, everyone was ready to attack.

It's just that the soldiers from Duke Zhuo'an's command muttered a little in their hearts, where did this Lord Allen get the confidence to dare to give such an order.

Who knows how many enemies are ambushed inside the city gate, if you rush in, I'm afraid you won't know how you will die when the time comes!

And the gray-robed middle-aged man standing on the city wall saw that Li Yunyang was not confused by his strategy, but instead ordered the soldiers to prepare for an attack, which made him panic a little.

After hesitating for a while, the middle-aged man shouted: "Which territory are you soldiers from? Do you really think that I'm a good bully in Fort Arte? Give you one last chance, if you don't retreat, under the walls of Fort Arte today, it will be the place where your lives will be buried!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers from Duke Zhuoen's command were a little slower in their movements, deliberately controlling their horses, and walked towards the rear of the charging team, for fear that if they rushed to the front, they would be directly killed by the ambush soldiers in the city.

Li Yunyang looked at these soldiers coldly, and couldn't help but shake his head, in the end, they were not people who were cultivated from him, although they were all elites, they could not be used by him.

And the more than 1,000 soldiers who survived in the town of Parvas may be inferior to them in terms of military quality, but they all looked down on him, which made Li Yunyang immediately feel heartbroken, and ordered without looking back: "The soldiers of Parvas are the last to attack, and the other soldiers will attack as the vanguard!"
