On February 4, 1175, at eight o'clock in the morning, Guxi Dexian, the royal capital of the Kingdom of Xiluoed, was a prosperous scene, after all, this is a large city of nearly 300,000 people.

It's just that soon the alarm bell of the enemy attack has not been sounded for hundreds of years, and at first, the residents of the king of Guxi De thought that the idiot soldier accidentally triggered the alarm bell after drinking too much.

However, the constant alarm bells and the constant rush of soldiers towards the city walls caused the inhabitants of the city to realize that something was wrong, so they divided up and went back to their homes to prevent damage.

At the same time, in the royal castle in Guxide City, a royal doorman hurriedly ran to the door of the king's bedroom to report to the housekeeper that there was important military intelligence report.

The housekeeper saw the royal doorman's nervous look, and she knew that something must be serious, but she knew even more that if she disturbed the kingdom now, she would not only lose her job but even face death.

Therefore, the housekeeper tactfully told the royal guards that the king must not be disturbed during this period, otherwise the royal guards and her will be hanged by the kingdom.

The royal doorman heard the housekeeper's warning, and he said that he knew very well that the king could not disturb the king at this time, but he said that he did not report the urgent military information now, so waiting for him would only be death.

The housekeeper heard the doorman tell the story, and only then did she realize that the matter was more serious than she had imagined, so Silver Fang dared to knock on the door, and then loudly reported that there was an emergency military situation.

And at this time, the king, who was sleeping in the beauty den, heard the shouting, and he shouted in a daze, and the guards pulled out the shouter and cut it down.

Faced with the royal guards about to arrest them, the housekeeper completely opened the kingdom bedroom with the key and let the royal guards enter the bedroom to report the emergency military information.

When the housekeeper and the royal doorman entered the bedroom, they were caught by the guard, who was very witty and shouted that Prince Sirolucus, who had been expelled from the kingdom, led an army of 100,000 to surround the royal capital.

The guards who were going to put the housekeeper and the doorman to death were stunned at first when they heard the doorman's words, and then they deliberately slowly got the second out of the bedroom, after all, they knew very well that the doorman could avoid death if he had an emergency, and they didn't want to be punished by the capricious king.

The guard's passive slackness gave the doorman time to shout a third chance, and when the current king heard it the third time, he finally woke up from his daze, so he got out of bed and asked the doorman what was going on, regardless of his image.

Seeing that the kingdom was nervous, the guards also released the doorman for him to report.

The doorman told the king that the royal capital was now surrounded by an army of 100,000 led by Sirolugus, and that Prince Sirolugus had spread a lot of rumors that the king was a despicable deceiver and tyrant, and that Sirolucus was the rightful heir to the throne, etc.

When the king heard the words of the guard, he roared angrily and wanted to destroy Sirolugus, and said that he would call up the legions.

Soon the kingdom summoned 3,000 elite royal guards, so he came to the south gate of the royal capital, after all, the main force of the restored army of Sirolugus was at the south gate.

Looking at the soldiers in front of him, who were only more than 2,000 people, Wang Guosheng asked why his army was so small?

The commander guarding the south gate heard the kingdom's question, and he stubbornly reported to the outside of the main force of the kingdom legion, so now there are only more than 6,000 soldiers defending the city, and he hopes that His Royal Highness the king will gather more soldiers, otherwise they will not be able to hold on for a few days.

When the kingdom heard the words of the commander guarding the south gate, his expression changed from anger to solemnity, and he asked if it was really that serious?

The commander of the south gate personally came to the city wall with a fine shield to protect the kingdom to watch the situation under the city wall, he was very worried that His Royal Highness would be sniped by enemy snipers, after all, there are often high-ranking commanders who are careless and killed by enemy snipers, so he has to be careful.

The kingdom looked at the dense array of masked enemies beneath the city, and he taunted that it was impossible for a bunch of clay-legged guards to defeat him.

When the surrounding soldiers heard the words of the kingdom, their morale was boosted, and they all thought that what the kingdom said was correct, after all, the enemy below was only surrounding and not attacking.

However, the kingdom actually knew very well in his heart that the reason why the enemy under the city wall did not attack was because the enemy did not want to lose too much, so he thought that it was too difficult to defend the enemy with the current strength, so he began to return to the castle and urgently summoned all the officials in the city to ask his retainers to think of a way, otherwise he would be finished.

In the face of the kingdom's urgent call, the officials of the kingdom of Siloeder hurried to arrive, many of them in disheveled clothes, and these officials did not know that their king had been surrounded by enemies.

When the king asked what could be done to defeat the enemy forces besieged outside the city, the courtiers disagreed, and soon several officials made several good proposals.

Among them, the first one is to forcibly recruit men into the army so that the four walls have enough manpower to defend, the second is to let dozens of magicians in the city choose to defend, and the third is to send people to break through the siege and summon the lords to save the royal city.

The kingdom proposed the above three articles, but because of the battle of King Gushid and the main army that was eliminated yesterday, there are now less than 5,000 young people in the city of Gushid to join the army, you must know that there is a large group of prisoners here.

The king was furious when he learned that less than 5,000 men had joined, so he had the royal guards go from house to house, and all men who were 12 years old were forced to enlist in order to face the enemy siege.

The kingdom sent royal guards to arrest men to enlist in the army, which also made the people of Guxide Wangcheng panic, after all, the kingdom began to arrest children as soldiers, which also means that even the kingdom does not have the confidence to defend the city, how can ordinary people not panic.

Outside the city of King Gushid, the Legion of the Holy Thunder Sword and the Restoration Army formed by Prince Sirolugus forcibly surrounded the city, but they did not rush to attack the city.

In fact, the reason is also very simple, Prince Sirolugus knows very well that the kingdom is strong and there are only less than 10,000 defenders, but their 80,000 or so troops are not attacking the city without siege weapons It is in vain, after all, the wall of the Guxide King City is nearly thirty meters high.

One might ask, then why not use magic to siege cities, or let a mage craft a siege weapon quickly with magic crafting.

In fact, Yan Tielong and the others didn't think about letting the magicians quickly make siege engines, but they lacked some important materials on their side, and they couldn't make good long-range siege engines without these materials.

Of course, the battering ram and cloud ladder in melee combat were all abandoned by Yan Tielong and them, the reason is that the enemy has magicians, even if there is no magician, this era has already thought about how to face these siege methods, and forcibly attacking the city will only cause heavy losses, which is not in line with the concept of the Holy Thunder Sword Legion.

Prince Qiang Ran Sirolugus claimed 100,000 troops to the enemy, but with the Holy Thunder Sword Legion and more than 20,000 prisoners, their legion only had 80,000 men, and nearly 6,000 cavalry were distributed for the purpose of protracted war rations and some materials for siege weapons, so the siege was now about 75,000 people.

At this time, Yan Tielong and Arya led a team of iron cavalry wearing a thousand people to collect various materials to the north to support the siege of the royal capital;

Soon, Yan Tielong and his cavalry team found a village, so they led the team to enter the village very easily.

When the village chief saw Yan Tielong and all the light cavalry, he thought that the other party was the king's team, after all, King Guxide had been surrounded and had not yet reached the village in front of him, so the village chief saluted very respectfully and asked Yan Tielong what was the matter with coming to Mumu Village?

Faced with the village chief's inquiry, Yan Tielong knew that the other party had misunderstood, so he instantly thought that this was a good thing, so he pretended to be the regular army of the kingdom to purchase supplies.

When the village chief heard that Yan Tielong was not forcibly requisitioning village materials, he smiled and introduced various materials.

Hearing that the material reserves of Mumu Village were not as good as the daily rations of 2,000 people, Yan Tielong asked the village chief where he could buy more supplies.

When the village chief heard that Yan Tielong wanted more supplies, he couldn't help but ask if anything happened in Yan Tielong's kingdom or more supplies?

Yan Tielong directly admitted that there was a war in the kingdom, so the king wanted a large amount of supplies, and also said that they spent money to buy supplies.

When the village chief heard that Yan Tielong was buying supplies because the country was at war again, he first frowned, and then took out dozens of silver coins to bribe Yan Tielong to find out if the kingdom wanted to recruit militia?

Yan Tielong accepted the bribe very neatly, and then whispered to the other party that the militia should be conscripted to see the war, and at the same time gave the other party a message, this information is that their team is spending money to buy supplies, but the next team is very likely to be forcibly recruited, so remind the village chief to sell them as soon as possible if there is any excess material, otherwise there will be no money or even materials in the future.

When the village chief heard Yan Tielong's story, he suddenly said that they still had a lot of stored materials here.

After paying the money, Yan Tielong asked the village chief once that the surrounding village had a large amount of supplies, and he had to complete the task given to him by the kingdom.

Of course, Yan Tielong also said that if he could transport the materials from the surrounding villages here, he was willing to give the village chief some benefits, such as some money.

When the village chief heard Yan Tielong's proposal, his eyes lit up, but when he thought of something, he had an expression that there were many robbers and bandits around him recently, and he was very worried about the safety of his villagers.

Yan Tielong heard the words of the village chief, and after Yan Tielong thought for a while, he expressed his willingness to send cavalry to protect the villagers.
