644 Decisive Battle of the Three Counties (3)
The meadows in June can be described as quite beautiful, all kinds of weeds and shrubs, swaying in the cool wind, like a pair of gentle hands, gently brushing off the coat of the earth, the silver-gray tree poles on the side of the road have also turned into dark green with summer landscapes, and there are schools of fish on the sparkling river,
In Dvalin, in the middle of the Ramis Mountains, the grass rises and falls like waves in the spring breeze, and the criss-crossed ridges of the fields are red sunflowers, like violets like bedding, flowing like streams on the flowery lawn of the city, and vines are wrapped around the umbrella-shaped pine and cypress trees, bringing the fragrance of roses from the ancient garden of Palatine.
In the midst of this beautiful view, Dvalin Castle on the hill wall was a desolation, with rows of heavy horse-repellent rifles tied with rough wood and rattan edges, stretching from the castle walls to the slope leading to the castle.
"Lord Warden can rest assured, if the Vicchians don't come, they will have to fill the entire mountain path with corpses to prepare!" On the walls of Dvalin, a general of Ryrdian was introducing his defensive strategy to the Marquis of Chubard behind him, with a solemn face.
The mountain road he was referring to was a narrow strip of hard earth on the hills in front of Dvalin Castle, with a drawbridge leading to the castle in front and undulating hills on both sides, forming a natural passage in this low-lying land, which was like a three-way road confluence, and it was the only way to enter Dvalin Castle.
Under the suspicious gaze of the new county guard, he pointed to the heavy rejecting horses that were densely packed on the mountain road and said
"Each of these 500 heavy repulsion horses weighs 100 catties, and they can completely block the siege towers of the Vikians, unless they send infantry to clear them one by one, otherwise no matter how good the Vikian army is at attacking the city, they can't climb the city wall with their hands, as for their infantry ......"
The general paused, turned and pointed to one end of the wall
"We have set up 120 projectiles there, and as long as their infantry comes within range of the rejection, the projectors we set up on the walls can deal them a fatal blow!"
"This is a wonderful design, General Rydari, you really deserve the special recommendation of Lord Prais of the Ministry of War, just such a small change has increased Dvalin's defense by more than 2 times"
The county keeper was undoubtedly very satisfied with the arrangement in front of him, he looked up at the mountain road full of horse rejection, and said with emotion, "Now I am a little looking forward to the arrival of the Vikia army, I don't know which Falcon with a red face in anger will be planted from the horse in grief and anger before this horse rejection attack."
This somewhat instructive sentence quickly caused the accompanying nobles next to him to laugh and Fu He, and next to him, an entourage nobleman with a flattering face waved his hand, pursed his mouth with disdain, and said extremely frivolously like a clown
"In front of the wise and martial Lord Chubard, that stupid fat falcon counts as a ball. His false name as the so-called number one general in the mainland is completely self-deception, how did he know that a little finger of Lord Chai Bode could crush him into powder like an ant!"
"That's it, who is Lord Chubard! It is a fierce general with 5,000 to 100,000, and he is the head of the important ministers of the three northern counties of the king's majesty, and the brilliant achievements of the Vecchia Falcon are considered a far......t in front of the mighty Lord Chai Bird," several nobles next to him also responded with a flattering face and an exaggerated expression
Only the face of the general Rui Erdian, who introduced the rejection of the horse, was red and white, and there was not a trace of disdain and indifference flashing in his eyes, as a soldier, he was not like these nobles, who dared to say anything in order to please this new county keeper,
If the Vekia Falcon that terrifies the mainland is nothing, then these nobles who have no achievements and wander around the county keeper all day long to a group of moths may really not even be as good as a fart in the eyes of the falcon, even this notorious county keeper is nothing more than a small person in the eyes of the falcon, a dispensable little person who can be erased at any time
What kind of stupid words like 5,000 to 100,000 can probably only be heard by the county guard.
If it weren't for the need for the upper echelons of the kingdom to create heroes, this guy who risked his military exploits would have been punished by the law enforcement team of the Ministry of Military Affairs to warn the generals who tried to falsely report their military exploits
The really numb words in the nobleman's mouth made this general Rui Erdian turn his face with great disdain, but the county guard's face looked very useful, it was simply a fluttering look, and occasionally said some big things that made people embarrassed, what to kill the Vecchia Falcon, reorganize the northern strategy and the like,
This embarrassed the honest General Ruierdian, his name is Rydari, the former adjutant of the Kurdish commander of the Northern Army, and a well-known defense master in the Northern Army.
With the tacit understanding of Kurdi, a veteran who is good at powerful attacks, he is known as the spear and shield of the Northern Army.
Due to ill health, Redari was ordered to stay at the base camp instead of participating in the brutal battle for the north, and thus became the only living member of the Kurdish cavalry regiment
With the defeat of the Northern Army, the voice of domestic crusade, although he, the remnant, escaped a catastrophe, but no legion dared to use him, has been idle in the Ministry of Military Affairs, like most of the generals of the Northern Army who returned home, every day is spent in remorse and chagrin, the death of the old Kurds, undoubtedly made this defensive shield that has not yet shown its brilliance, lose its previous demeanor
This time, the Duke of Lofthauser was appointed as the general affairs officer of the three northern counties, and because of the lack of effective defensive talents, the Minister of War Prais proposed two candidates,
One is Rogriner, the adjutant of the Third Knight Commander Amicia who had led the army to block the Odds and had just been promoted to general in the Southern War, and the other was Ridari, who was recognized as a master of defense by the Northern Army.
Considering that the three northern counties he was responsible for were within the scope of the former Northern Army, Duke Lofthauser finally chose Redari, who had served in the Northern Army.
After more than half a year of grinding, the once sharp Northern Shield has converged a lot, and even looks a little submissive, but only those who are familiar with him know that what this defense master is best at is to formulate a simple and effective defense strategy according to the terrain, which can be described as a very powerful character
Judging from his current arrangement, you can see the horror of his ingenuity,
Dvalinburg is a kind of fortress castle, the main body of which is built on a hill and can only be reached by a rugged mountain road through Guò, and now it is occupied by these rejection horses, which undoubtedly doubles the difficulty of attacking Dvalin Castle.
No matter how many the troops besieging the castle are, there are less than a hundred people who can rush up each time, and the hundreds of horses in the middle are like hundreds of huge corpse filling pits, and if you want to move any of them, you must fill them with a large number of human lives.
"Can Dvalinburg really hold off the Vecchians, who claim to be the number one siege?"
Although there is some arrangement, it is difficult for even Redari himself to determine this, not only what cold equipment can give, but also the morale of the army, the determination of the commander,
Only real soldiers know the horror of the Vikia army, known as the first elite in the north and the steppe hurricane Kujits, without exception, were defeated under the edge of Vekia's troops, rather than dealing with it head-on, it is better to adopt a step-by-step strategy, as long as the reinforcements dragged to the rear, the offensive of the Vekia people will fall into a stalemate
This was the strategic concept of Rydari, his hand touching the cold battlements of the wall, his eyes deep and heavy, "Dvalin, the city where the sun shines!
For some reason, he suddenly felt an indescribable coldness that permeated the gray stones of the city walls, which were stained with the wind and frost of time, and the gray spots covered the solid granite surface.
Its solitary figure is like a giant, standing on the top of a hill looking out over the vast northern plains, which are not part of the solid granite of the Ramis Mountains, which were harvested and transported from the distant Salist Mountains hundreds of years ago by order of the great Hakachis the Great, who ruled the Ryrdian Mountains.
It is said that for every ten ox carts of stone transported, a cattle herder fell ill on the road, and this bloody castle is a testimony of that great era.
The legendary king, who created the glorious era in the hearts of the Raldians, also set the strategic policy of expanding his territory to the north, and spent a lot of money to build Fort Dvalin, but he did not live for a day.
This was once the starting point of the expansion of the Ruierdian people to the north, and after hundreds of years of tempering, it has now become the end point of the northern strategy.
The threat from the north is coming like a dark cloud towards this great and sad castle, which is cruel and ironic for the knights of Raldian, who have always held the glory of Khatius the Great
As if sensing that Rydari's face was a little weird, the county keeper Chai Bird waved his hand to interrupt the flattery of the nobles,
As a speculator, of course Chai Bode knew that at this moment, even if all the nobles in front of him were combined, they would definitely not be able to compare to a finger of the general Ruierdian in front of him.
He told the nobles to stand down, and then came behind the general Ryerdian
"What's the matter, General Ririda, you seem to be a little too worried, or have you been too tired of arranging defenses lately" Marquis Chaibold's face did not show any joy,
"Lord County Guard, I ......" Rui Dari's face was full of hesitation, he was a relatively upright guy, he wanted to tell Lord Sù County Guard, the materials in the city were insufficient, and the water source was only a half-dried shaft,
For the 8,000 defenders in the castle, it is already a miracle that such conditions can last for 15 days, in other words, if there are no reinforcements, everyone will die, but looking at the trusting eyes of the county keeper, I don't know how to say it for a while
"Just do your best, I've sent a letter for help to Duke Lofthauser in the rear!"
The Marquis of Chubard patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear, "And the 20,000 new troops of the Duke of Halle stationed in Ribogen, they will soon send reinforcements to help Dvalin, if they really can't hold it, even a retreat is not impossible"
Do you really expect our little Dvalin to hold off the Wikibians' onslaught? Such a ridiculous thing, I believe that even the always stern Lord Prais will open the net!"
"Lord Gunjo...... You!" Ruida was stunned, and looked at Chai Bird in surprise, as if the flattering laughing guy just now was not him at all
