Chapter Ninety-Six: Siege and Training (Chapter 2)
"And then?"
Looking at Chen Heng, Kaili continued to speak.
"And then ......"
Chen Heng smiled: "Naturally, we are ready to go to war." ”
Lanlodo would never give up on Kutu because of this order, neither his own circumstances nor his ambitions allowed him to do so.
Therefore, Chen Heng's order is destined to be just a waste of words.
However, in fact, at this point, Chen Heng didn't want Lan Luoduo to leave.
It would be a pity not to have managed to concentrate the enemy's living forces here, and it would be a pity not to find an opportunity to kill them.
Right now is a great opportunity.
If it were a different occasion, even if Chen Heng could win the opponent, it would not be so easy to completely wipe out the opponent's strength in one battle, it would need to be consumed slowly, and the time and energy spent would be unimaginable.
And now, the other party directly pressed most of his strength and sent it to Chen Heng.
Such a good opportunity, wouldn't it be a pity if Chen Heng didn't seize it well.
Thinking of this, Chen Heng couldn't help but smile.
Now, though, is not the time.
Although there is a certainty of winning, it is naturally good to be able to consume a while and increase some chances of winning.
Therefore, at this moment, Chen Heng began to order.
"Give the order to close the gates of the city of Kutu, and from now on no one will be allowed to enter or leave, and be ready to defend the city. ”
Looking at Kaili, Chen Heng said lightly: "From now on, we are ready to defend the city." ”
Listening to this order, Carey also had a smile on his face, and he appreciated Chen Heng's decision very much.
As Chen Heng's confidant to a certain extent, he was very clear about the power that Chen Heng had now.
It was a force of nearly 20,000 men alone, and the vast majority of them were the elite of the Northland who had been fighting with foreign races all year round, far from being comparable to the group of rebels in the South.
And among them, there are also knights of the kingdom like Chen Heng.
If you really want to fight, although the number of rebels in that group is superior, most of them are not Chen Heng's opponents.
With the strength at hand dominant, Chen Heng not only did not swell, but was also extremely cautious, wanting to consume the opponent for a while before starting the decisive battle.
This kind of prudence that stands on the edge but still walks on thin ice is not something that ordinary people can have.
It is worthy of being the Count of Soda, who is known as the first knight of the Kingdom of Kutu.
"In the future, we may have to go through a period of hard defending the city. ”
Sitting next to Kaili, Chen Heng's face was playful, and he said so.
"yes. ”
Listening to Chen Heng's words, Kaili also laughed, with some playfulness in his smile.
Next, time continues to pass.
was rejected by Chen Heng, and Lan Luoduo was not the slightest surprised.
In fact, in the current situation, if Chen Heng really accepted his conditions, then he should be surprised and shocked.
It's just to be expected at the moment.
After being rejected by Chen Heng, he began to organize an army and carry out a siege.
The two sides entered the most difficult siege battle.
However, to Lan Luoduo's expectations, for their attack, the combat power shown by Chen Heng's side was not strong.
On several occasions, the guards on the walls were crumbling, and they could be conquered with a little more effort.
There were even several times when the knights under Lanlodo took the lead in charging and rushed to the walls of Kutu, only to be repelled by the knights led by Kurudo.
The defense of Kutu City does not seem to be as strong as imagined.
In this regard, Lan Luoduo was a little puzzled and a little surprised.
He guessed in his heart that this might be the reason why Count Soda had left the Northlands and had not had time to mobilize too many troops.
After all, in order to get to Kutu as quickly as possible, Count Soda must travel lightly and march as fast as possible.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the current guard force of Kutu City is not strong.
Of course, it is also possible that Count Soda was unable to use much power in the first place.
In terms of the means of communication in this era, Lan Luoduo, who was located in the south, had no way of knowing how many troops Chen Heng had and how strong his strength was.
In addition, the Northland has always been the first front line against the desert alien races, and perhaps in the near future, those desert alien races have reappeared, harassing the Northland and containing the forces of the Northland lords.
All kinds of possibilities came to the minds of the southern lords led by Lan Luodo.
Undoubtedly, this greatly stimulated their enthusiasm for the siege, and they wanted to attack even harder, hoping to break through the city in one fell swoop and capture Oliman and Count Soda together.
At this time, in Kutu City, many nobles who were originally connected with Lan Luoduo sent news out.
They informed Lan Luodo and the others that Count Soda had only brought a total of 2,000 people with him when he entered Kutu this time, but it was only by detaining important members of each family as hostages that he forced each family to contribute to protect Kutu City for him.
At this moment, there was actually not much power left in the city of Kutu, and Count Soda was desperate.
Upon learning the news, Lan Luoduo and the others were surprised and delighted.
The information they received was very consistent with what had been shown in the city of Kutu recently.
I'm afraid that the city of Kutu is indeed very empty now, and if they use more strength, they can take it.
At that time, the so-called first knight of the kingdom, Count Soda, could only wail under their army.
The news came that Lan Luodo, who was hesitant and wanted to leave, reaffirmed his idea of attacking the city.
At this time, another news came, which forced him to make up his mind to take Kutu City as soon as possible.
The nobles who communicated in the city sent messengers to inform them of a piece of news about the Count of Soda.
According to the source, Count Soda was already mobilizing the forces of the Northland, and in three months at most, reinforcements of 7,000 men would arrive in Kutu.
If you don't take advantage of this time to capture Kutu, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.
Lan Luoduo expressed some doubts about this news, but the movements in his hands couldn't help but speed up, and the attack became more rapid.
...........
On the red-stained city wall, patches of blood remained.
It was noon at the moment, the golden sun was shining in the sky, and outside the city walls, there were bursts of shouts and killings, which made people feel a little bored.
"The fight is very fierce......"
Chen Heng walked on the city wall, looking at this scene, and couldn't help but smile.
"Looks like they've been tricked. ”
On the side, Carey smiled: "First show your weak side, let the other party think that you are weak, and then take the initiative to send someone to spread the news to inform the other party of the situation in the city and force the other party to continue the attack." ”
"Your Excellency, you are worthy of the best commander of the kingdom, and you are worthy of the title of First Knight. ”
He looked at Chen Heng and said with admiration and compliments.
Of course, strictly speaking, this is not a compliment either.
For more than a month, Chen Heng's actions have been watched in his eyes.
In the face of the rebels led by Lan Luoduo, Chen Heng did not choose to go out to fight when he had a superior force, but chose to rely on the walls of Kutu to defend it, so as to consume the opponent's strength.
In order to attract the other party to Kutu City and not leave halfway, he not only took the initiative to show the enemy weakness, but also took the initiative to send people to spread the news to confuse the other party and let the other party continue to attack.
This offensive, which lasted for more than a month, not only greatly consumed the opponent's energy, but also tempered the newly integrated troops, and to a certain extent played a role in training troops.
It's a win.
