Chapter 95: The Confrontation (Chapter 1)
"What is the situation in Kutu City now?"
The army galloped forward in the pouring rain.
In the middle of a tent, a middle-aged man turned around, looked at the official in front of him, and asked.
The middle-aged man in front of him looks very unique, with a narrow face, his appearance is not handsome, but there is a coldness, which makes people shudder.
At this moment, his face was cold, and he looked at the officials under him.
This is Lan Luodo, the patriarch of the Southern Green family and the lord of the Green Lord.
This rebellion of the southern lords began with him.
At this moment, he also deserves to be the nominal leader of the southern rebels, leading the rebels all the way up, about to approach Kutu.
However, it was only then that they realized that after several months, the situation in Kutu City was completely different from what they remembered.
The exact circumstances are not known for the time being. ”
In front of him, the envoy's face was a little helpless: "As early as a few months ago, we lost contact with Kutu, and we only know that Count Soda from Soda went to Kutu and has taken control of Kutu City. ”
"Now, the news of the entire city of Kutu is completely out of reach. ”
He said with a helpless face.
As early as when Chen Heng became the master of Kutu, those nobles who were originally connected with Lan Luoduo were all controlled by Chen Heng, although they were not suppressed strongly, they were also under Chen Heng's surveillance, and they would be suppressed if there was a slight change.
In this case, even if those people were biased towards Lan Luodo, they did not dare to risk passing on the news to him.
Without the help of these people, Lan Luoduo naturally lost his eyeliner and lost the news of Kutu City.
Hearing this, and knowing the current situation, Lan Luoduo subconsciously frowned.
The loss of sources is a very dangerous sign.
This shows that unlike the Kutu royal family in the past, Chen Heng's control of Kutu City has reached another level.
It's a tough opponent.
Subconsciously, this thought came to Lan Luodo's mind.
The reputation of the royal knight is outside, even if it is him, he does not dare to underestimate Chen Heng, the Earl of Suoda.
If he could, he didn't want to confront the Count of Soda.
But others apparently don't think so.
"Your Excellency, please give orders. ”
Below, someone made a voice with a sneer on his face: "As long as we break through Kutu City, this city will be ours." ”
Kutu City is the royal city of the Kutu Kingdom, which gathers the most wealth and resources in the entire Kutu Kingdom.
As long as you can break through the city and plunder it at will, it will be enough to feed people and make a windfall.
At this moment, many people are thinking about this idea.
In fact, they've done it a lot before.
They will follow Lanlodo and rebel together, isn't that what they do?
And as the royal city of Kutu, the wealth in it is even more unimaginable, as long as a little scratch is enough, it is enough to make people satisfied.
Looking at these allies below, Lan Luoduo subconsciously frowned, but he didn't reprimand, just shook his head and said lightly: "Count Soda is not easy to deal with. ”
"Afraid of what?"
Someone said: "With our strength, no matter who it is, it can't be our opponent." ”
"Not bad. ”
Below, a group of people spoke in agreement.
I have to say that the southern rebels are already a behemoth by now.
The armies of many lords, plus the serfs and the like who came along the way, numbered as many as forty or fifty thousand people.
Such a huge number of troops is unmatched by anyone, and even at the peak of the royal family, it may not be possible to have so many troops.
With such a huge military force, their confidence can't help but swell, and they are confident that no matter who they are, they will not be their opponents.
Just looking at them and listening to their words, Lan Luodo couldn't help frowning.
Indeed, with their military strength at the moment, even if they were Count Soda, they were most likely not their opponents.
But if the other party sticks to Kutu, in their situation, they may not be able to take Kutu down.
He couldn't be more clear about the quality of the 50,000 people on his side.
Although they did have an absolute advantage in numbers, this huge army belonged to different lords, each with their own ideas.
If it's a field battle, it's okay, but if it's going to attack the city, I'm afraid that after a long time, all kinds of problems will easily occur.
Moreover, logistics are also a huge problem.
A huge army of 50,000 people, the consumption of which is a huge number, and it can be said that the consumption of each day is staggering.
If it drags on for too long, I'm afraid that before Kutu is captured, they will collapse first.
These are all questions.
Siege is definitely not a very good option.
But now, Lan Luodo has no choice.
I finally got to the city of Kutu, and it would be a pity to leave without doing anything, and I couldn't explain to the many lords below.
All the way to Kutu, the reason why the many lords below were able to hold on and desire to plunder Kutu's wealth was a great motivation.
If you don't do anything and leave like this, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among many lords.
With the temptation to do so, Lanlodo sent an emissary into the city of Kutu to negotiate with Count Soda.
And in Kutu City, when Chen Heng received the letter from Lan Luoduo, he just smiled.
"What's wrong?"
Beside him, looking at Chen Heng, who suddenly laughed, Kaili was a little puzzled.
"It's a letter sent by Lan Luodo. ”
Chen Heng smiled and handed the letter to Kaili casually: "He said that as long as I am willing to lead the army to evacuate Kutu, I am willing to give me the entire northern land, as well as a large area of land of the royal family, and let me become the lord of that area." ”
"Sounds good. ”
Hearing these words, Carey couldn't help but smile: "It just seems to be a little redundant." ”
"yes. ”
Chen Heng also smiled: "The northern land is my territory, and as for the land that belongs to the royal family, it is now under my control." ”
"This so-called bestowal is to give me all that I have now. ”
"He couldn't get anything more. ”
Carey shook his head and said, "The situation he's facing at the moment is much worse than ours. ”
"Fifty thousand troops are guarding the outside, and this daily consumption is a staggering number. ”
"If he doesn't end the battle as soon as possible, I'm afraid this army will soon fall apart. ”
"Not bad. ”
Chen Heng nodded.
Because he had anticipated the current situation in advance, Chen Heng had forcibly relocated the people near Kutu long before, leaving only a piece of ruins for the rebels.
Even if Lan Luodo wanted to rely on robbery to maintain the team, there was no way.
In comparison, although Chen Heng also needs logistics, his people are much more than Lan Luo, and he occupies Kutu, so he can obtain property and food from Kutu City to support it.
Relatively speaking, the situation is no less difficult, but at least for the short term, there will be no logistical problems.
But Lan Luoduo was not so lucky.
To put it bluntly, as long as it takes a few more months under the city of Kutu, Lan Luodo will not be able to support it, and the army will collapse directly.
"How do you reply?"
Sitting on the side, looking at Chen Heng in front of him, Kaili asked.
"In the name of His Majesty Oliman, reprimand him for his rebellion, and let him leave the city of Kutu at once and return to his own domain. ”
