Chapter 428: Harassment Tactics
"All the troops are in formation!"
Li Yunyang raised his right hand and ordered the army to stop advancing, he squinted his eyes and looked at the heavily guarded town of Parvas in front of him, and for a while, he actually admired the military qualities of Watson Gill's soldiers.
In just two days, the town of Parvas had been transformed from a poorly defended and rich town to a standard military fortress.
The moat, which was originally only more than five meters wide, has been widened to about ten meters at this time, and there are still some muddy river waters, buried with sharp wooden stakes that have been cut one by one!
It is conceivable that if Li Yunyang dared to let the army forcibly attack the city, this ten-meter-wide moat would definitely bury the lives of a large number of soldiers.
The silt and clods dug out of the moat were used by Watsongill's soldiers to block the upper reaches of the moat, and the river was so high that it was in danger of breaking through the barrier at any time.
Li Yunyang was sure that this temporary river dam was probably controlled by some sophisticated mechanism. Once the army broke through the isolation of the moat, the enemy opened the mechanism, and the raging river rushed straight down, and the soldiers besieging the city under the city walls would not be able to escape from the rushing water.
After riding the flying monster and scouting around the town of Parvas, Wagger's face was a little ugly, and he said with a sad face: "Lord Allen, the situation seems to be a little bad, Watson Gill's army has all entered the town, and they have also learned your tactics and put fire oil barrels on the city walls, I am afraid that they want to wait until we attack the city, and then pour the fire oil down......"
Wagle didn't say any more, he had seen Li Yunyang use this tactic to block thousands of troops on the periphery of the general's mansion.
The raging flames not only blocked the momentum of the enemy's attack, but also made the enemy completely frightened, and the morale of the army collapsed in an instant!
If there were more soldiers under Li Yunyang at that time, Wager dared to believe that the enemy army with absolute superiority would be 100% defeated in Li Yunyang's hands!
And now this set of tactics has actually been learned by Watson Gill's army and used against them, and Wagle can't think of a way to crack this tactic except to scold Watson Gill for being despicable and shameless.
"Don't be so pessimistic, what happens on the battlefield, until the last moment, don't admit defeat lightly! Wagger, you are on a mission to revitalize the glory of the family, no matter what happens, you should think more about countermeasures, instead of letting all your subordinates see your sighing appearance, so that even if you can win the battle, I am afraid that you will be lost by your sighs!"
In the battle to recapture the town of Parvas, Li Yunyang had long been ready to fight a tough battle, so compared to Wagger's sad appearance, after hearing the news, his face was very indifferent, but he took the opportunity to teach Wager how to lead troops.
Wager nodded a little embarrassed, and quickly restrained the uneasiness on his face, but in his eyes, he still involuntarily revealed a sense of anxiety.
In fact, Wager has long known the truth of leading troops, but he knows it, but he still can't help but be nervous when he really encounters this kind of scene.
And seeing that Li Yunyang always maintained a high fighting spirit when he commanded the battle, inspiring his soldiers to fight bravely, Wager saw more and more clearly, the gap between him and Li Yunyang was like the difference between a stream and the sea.
"Varger obeyed the order, led the soldiers of the 3,000 cavalry archers and the 2,000 lion cavalry regiments, prepared enough bows and arrows, and every half an hour, carried out a feint attack on the east gate of the town of Parvas, don't care if you can kill the enemy, just let the soldiers shoot the arrows in their hands, remember, when the feint attacks, the whole army beats the drums!"
Just when Wager was in distress, Li Yunyang assigned him an order, anyway, Wagle had already sworn allegiance to Li Yunyang, so there was no need for Li Yunyang to do everything on the battlefield, but he could take this opportunity to exercise Wagger's ability to lead the army.
"Yes, Lord Allen, I promise that there will be no casualties as long as the mission is completed. After understanding the meaning of Li Yunyang's order, he received the military order and began to prepare for a feint.
Li Yunyang turned his horse's head and came to the side of Syldeken and Sujra, looking at Syldeken who still looked depressed, Li Yunyang shook his head and said: "Lord, I'm afraid we have to fight a tough battle this time, and after the battle, it is estimated that Parvas will suffer a serious loss, you had better be mentally prepared." ”
"What is there to prepare?Alan, when I retreated that day, I was determined to let you take over my territory, and from that day on, you will be the lord of Parvas!"
Sherdeken looked at the small town of Pavas, which was occupied by the enemy, from a distance, smiled bitterly, and sighed: "Since I fled from Pavas in a hurry, I have no face and continue to rule this town. And you, Alan, will become the new lord of Parvas as the leader who will take back the town of Pavas with your own hands!"
As soon as these words came out, Li Yunyang didn't know how to communicate with Shi Erdeken at all, this noble lord who was devastated by the defeat and fled from the battle, seemed to have decided that Li Yunyang must take over the position of Lord of Parvas.
To tell the truth, Li Yunyang's impulse is fake, if he can become the lord of Pavas Town, he will become the leader of the Pavas Conference in the future, which will be beneficial to the development of the Huimei Group under his command!
However, whether Li Yunyang can become the new lord of Parvas depends on the decision of another person, that is, Syldeken's only daughter - Sujra!
The handover of territory has always been a major event in the empire!
Under normal circumstances, the territory of the nobles is passed down from generation to generation, and unless the family is in the middle of the road, there will never be a situation where the territory is transferred to others.
Moreover, when the territory is transferred, it must first be agreed by all the immediate family members within the Guò lord's family, and it is necessary to comply with the imperial regulations on the transfer of territory, pay a large amount of taxes, and go through a series of cumbersome procedures to complete the transfer of the territory.
On the other hand, if one of the people in the family of the owner of the territory does not agree to the transfer of the territory, the transfer of the territory will be null and void, and the empire will become the buyer, take over the business of the transfer of the territory, and pay a small amount of money to bring the territory back under the control of the empire.
After all, the kings of the past were not fools, how could they let the various lords transfer their territories privately, endangering the position of the empire. Know that the larger the territory, the greater the number of armies that can be formed within the territory, and the greater the threat to the empire.
However, Li Yunyang had no plans to rebel, and just wanted to try it to see if he could include the town of Parvas in his territory.
Of course, if Sujira does not support Shierdeken's decision, Li Yunyang will not use any despicable means, no matter how he says that his relationship with Sujira is not bad, even if the territory cannot be expanded, it is good to have one more ally.
At least at the future meeting of Pavas, Sujira will fight for Li Yunyang's interests, instead of thinking about how to squeeze gold coins out of him!
"Don't look at me, this is a matter between you and my father, you can solve it yourself!" Sujira directly rejected Li Yunyang, and Shierdeken asked Li Yunyang to marry her that night, and he is still haunted, so he has not had a good face for him in the past two days.
"Knock! knock!"
When Li Yunyang was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, in the army in front of him, the earth-shattering war drums suddenly sounded.
A cavalry contingent of about 1,000 people, all lightly armed, armed with bows and arrows, marched out in formation.
The soldiers from the Imperial Lion Cavalry Regiment were led by Wagle and Burren, and a third of them were driven out as the vanguard of the feint.
The team of 3,000 people, led by Wagger, collectively roared and rushed to the east of the small town of Parvas.
The horses' hooves trampled on the cracked ground, bringing up a puff of billowing dust, and the enemy troops stationed on the walls of Parvas saw a large number of soldiers carrying siege ladders and thousands of cavalry attacking the town, and immediately sounded the horn of the whole army's alert.
Watsongill turned the wrench on his thumb and ordered his soldiers to raise their bows and arrows, all of them set the arrows on fire, aiming at the soldiers led by Wagel, ready to give them a hard blow.
However, how could this tactic, which was copied from Li Yunyang, frustrate Wagger, he immediately blew the horn on his waist, and the whole army suddenly stopped outside the range of Watsongill's archers.
After Wagle took the lead in firing the first arrow, the cavalry and infantry accompanying him began to wander around the four walls of the town of Parvas, but they were all far away from the enemy's shooting range.
The whole process lasted about ten minutes, and when Wagle saw that the quivers behind the soldiers were almost empty, he sounded the horn again and ordered to retreat.
This kind of headless attack made Watson Gill unable to react for a while, and he watched Wagger's bow and arrows fall to the edge of the city wall, but they still kept shooting, which made it difficult for him to understand the point of doing so.
And the soldiers under Watson Gil also had the same idea as him, this kind of siege of Cheng Dù is simply a joke!
At this time, a middle-aged man in a brand-new robe respectfully walked up to Watsongill and glanced at Watsongill who was retreating with disdain, and said to Watsongill in a strategic tone: "Lord Watson, with my understanding of Viscount Allen, he asked Vagel to launch a feint, which is just the simplest tactic of exhausting the army, the purpose is to consume the energy of the soldiers under your command, and when the soldiers are tired or numb to this attack, they will launch a real strong attack!"
