- End of Chapter 10 Battle
In the Elant main castle, more than 400 remnant soldiers who had been injured and inconvenienced collectively set up defenses under the command of the officers. The tattered city walls were driven by sergeants one by one. Farmers filled the soil and placed wooden boards, bricks and other obstacles, each of which could be turned into arrows. The officers placed the wood to support the horses outside the city gate. Feeling the crisis, the soldiers repaired their weapons and prepared equipment to defend the city.
The main castle of Elant is built on a hill in the great basin under the Snowy Mountains. Small streams left from the mountains to the east of Elant Castle form lakes one after another to nourish the people of Elant Island. The first baron of Elant discovered this beautiful place more than a hundred years ago. He drove the people to use the river channel between the lakes to dig a five-meter-deep and ten-meter-long natural moat around the hill. Since then, Elantra City has been formed covering an area of ??three square kilometers.
One kilometer from the center of Elant City is the central core castle, which occupies a hill. The highest watchtower is more than 150 meters above the ground of Elant City. The central castle is surrounded by a twenty-meter-wide artificial river. The outer walls of the central castle are as high as ten meters. meters, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the geographical location is very good. Outside the city wall are the houses of residents and merchants. During wartime, ordinary residents and villagers from outside villages can enter the castle to receive protection and assist in defense. There are more than five floors of space in the one kilometer castle in the central area, which are filled with food, gold and silver and other tax materials from various places, enough for 2,000 people to garrison for more than half a year.
There are six villages of various sizes within ten kilometers around Elant City that support the castle. There are more than 3,000 permanent residents in the castle, of which more than 200 are professional soldiers. At this moment, experiencing the war, more than half of the population had fled, and the remaining more than 300 people were briefly escorted over by these soldiers from the surrounding area.
"Hurry up! Hurry up! We don't need the outer city. We won't fight in the field. We will first fill up the holes in the inner city." The middle-aged man pointed eagerly at the three-meter-wide collapsed city wall and roared.
¡°Granny, I really didn¡¯t expect General Bertand to lose. If I had known it this morning, we wouldn¡¯t have had to launch fifteen trebuchets to destroy the city wall.¡±
"Yes! In fact, in the first ten minutes, three or four gaps were destroyed in the city wall. However, the infantry team suffered too many casualties. The general was so angry that he ordered crazy projections, resulting in six of our trebuchets being damaged. By then. Later, all the corpse wood that could be used for projection was used. The thick inner city wall could not withstand our crazy attack. The two hundred city walls from the west were collapsed by us by more than 30 meters. Now I really have some doubts. , whether we can defend the city for two days until reinforcements arrive." The centurion of the catapult brigade looked at the cracked city wall in disbelief and wondered.
"Hey!" the centurion of the heavy infantry brigade sighed: "There is no way, I have sent messengers to inform the Duke and the fleet. You have to know, if we had just set off, Little Elante only needs to send 300 people and we will be finished. Now. If Little Elantra is not ready to attack us before night, then we will burn this place and leave at night, waiting for the transport ship on the opposite side to come and transport us."
"Brother, don't worry! I've heard of little Elante's messages among the nobles. He's kind-hearted and timid. He even hasn't tamed his fianc¨¦e well. He will never have the guts to pursue us. Not to mention this war. Afterwards, the entire army was mentally exhausted and had many important military affairs to do. When night came, he wanted to set off but the soldiers did not agree." The centurion of the catapult lightly touched his beard and chuckled.
"I hope so! The main reason why I didn't agree to burn Elantra's food and grass just now is to leave a little room for you and me. Otherwise, when the army arrives, we will"

"Report! A large group of cavalry was spotted three kilometers away! It is expected to arrive within five minutes." The militia swordsman quickly ran from the watchtower and quickly reported to the temporary leader of the army.
"I understand, why so fast?" The heavy infantry centurion nodded with a heartbeat, and shouted sternly: "Immediately notify the troops to gather in the inner city, and everyone must gather in the inner city. These residents cannot be allowed to stay in the outer city, otherwise We're in big trouble."
"Brother Hafei, now there are only two regular centurions left in this brigade of nearly 400 wounded soldiers and me. The inner city defense is now in ruins. To be honest, what are your plans? Tell me. Let me have an idea." The catapult centurion looked at the surrounding troops that were mobilizing in panic, and looked seriously into Hafe's eyes.
"Brother Bill, let me tell you the truth! Let's take a look at how many people the other side has come, their morale, and how the personnel battle is? If it is too much stronger than us, then we will surrender! If it is not far behind or is weak, hehe! I'm not welcome." Hafe smiled smoothly, and the two walked shoulder to shoulder toward the top of the city wall.?.
"Dismount!"
"Form up a formation!"
"The light cavalry team will go to investigate first."
"The non-cavalry troops dismount."
"Heavy infantry in front, light infantry in the middle, archers behind. Cavalry on both wings."
¡¡
Lin Fenghan stood in shock at the foot of Elante City, looking up at the central tower as high as the sky. The main city of Elant is majestic and tall, surrounded by green water and mountains, grassland and farmland, and the blue sky and white jade in the sky are very clear. It is basically impossible to see such a beautiful place in China in the 21st century.
It is naturally clear and beautiful. If ordinary people live here, they must be in good health, have smooth charm, and have natural and elegant shapes. At this time, Lin Fenghan had to admire his ancestors. If he didn't have such powerful ancestors, even if he traveled to another world now, he would probably be just a farmer's boy and would not have the capital to own these beautiful things.
"Baron, we just went in for a general search and found that there are no soldiers in the outer city, and there are dense people in the inner city." The light cavalry who was investigating panted and ran to the front of the military formation to salute.
"Really? Lord Baron, it seems that they are ready to defend to the death. The inner city is well defended. Even if a bunch of big holes were punched out in the west this morning, if we attack by force, they occupy the high ground. Even if we have more than five hundred people, we will still have to fight." It will take more than half of them to be defeated!" Koland looked at the high wall worriedly and said seriously.
"Well!" Lin Fenghan nodded with a frown, and said seriously to Ke Lande: "Ke Lande, I will give you an order now. Tell their chief, I will invite their chief to come to negotiate with the honor of the nobles. When they are safe, We will never harm them before evacuating, you must invite them to our military formation."
"Okay Baron, I think if their commander is wise enough, he will definitely surrender to us." Colander nodded blood-suckingly and ran towards the inner city at full speed.
Lin Fenghan turned around solemnly and shouted: "The whole army is dispersed. Line up three people in a row. Listen to my gesture and shout the bugle."
"Follow your orders!"
The army was loose, the flags were flying, the soldiers were solemn, the horses were neighing, and a solemn wind of killing was constantly coming out.
"Report! Baron Elantra sent a messenger and asked you, centurions, to go to the outer city to negotiate. Yiliu Yun will use the honor of the nobles as a guarantee. After the negotiation, he will not harm you when you reach a safe distance." Ten** years old The young swordsman reported loudly.
Hafei and Bill looked at each other on the balcony. Bill raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Yi Liuyun, this little guy is really not simple. It seems that we really underestimated him before, and he actually asked us to negotiate. I also Do you think he will attack us directly in anger?"
"Yes!" Hafei touched his beard and stared: "Brother, let's go! Let's go out and return to this baron who was rumored to be timid and of low ability. If they are really powerful, they can only do this for our lives. Surrender."
"Yes! We are all nobles. We shouldn't lose our lives for such a trivial matter. It's not worth it." The two of them appointed a cavalry guard of twenty people and quickly ran towards the outer city.
More than 20 people walked out of the outer city gate, and suddenly a large group of neat troops appeared in front of them.
"Hey!"
"ha!"
"Hey!"
"ha!"
"Ha ha"
¡¡
Uniform angry shouts rose into the sky, and the clash of weapons blinded more than 20 people a hundred meters away.
Herod!
Hiss!
The horses were frightened and jumped up, and immediately five or six cavalrymen fell off their horses.
"Who is here? Lord Yiliuyun of Elant is here." Lin Fenghan led his horse and stood fifty meters away, pointed his arm at Bill and others, and shouted sternly.
"Baron Elant, you are well. I am Halfey from the Harald family, here to negotiate with the Baron." Halfey looked shocked and looked at the black army that was five hundred meters across.
With cavalry, spearmen, swordsmen, and archers, this army has complete professions, sharp equipment, fanatical morale, and vigorous murderous intent. It is an elite army. For an instant, the two of them looked at each other in awe and had a plan in mind.
"Knight Hafey, my army of 700 is here, and there are 500 people marching behind me. Are you going to resist stubbornly, or are you ready to surrender? I need an answer." Lin Fenghan waved his hand domineeringly, and looked at the two men in front of him sternly. scared.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Suddenly, at the gate of the outer city, more than 30 heavy spearmen and their troops appeared, pointing their spears behind Hafei and others. After a while, Hafei and other guards drew their swords one after another.
Bill touched his heart in horror, shouted: "Yi Liuyun, you actually don't keep your word and sent people to intercept us."
Lin Fenghan smiled indifferently and said lightly: "I am not dishonest. The heavy infantry behind you is just to escort you, and has no other meaning."
"What are you!" Bill looked behind him angrily, ran to Hafei's side in a low voice, and said softly: "Brother, let's surrender! There are more than 700 troops at Yiliuyun, and they are all cavalry. I heard that there are more than 500 soldiers behind us and we cannot defeat them. Even if the Duke accuses us then, we can just answer truthfully."
"Hey!" Hafei lowered his head and sighed softly: "Yi Liuyun, you win. You are much more cunning than your father. It is really hard to imagine how the loyal old Baron Elant could have a son as smart as you."
"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Fenghan said with joy and relief: "Because my father is so sincere, honest, and loyal, he is remembered by the Duke. If he could be more cunning, he would not leave me now."
Lin Fenghan shook his head sadly, looked up at the tall bulging castle, waved his hands energetically and said loudly: "Go home!"
"go home!"
"go home!"
"go home!"
¡ Everyone in Keland ran towards the city happily. At this moment, in the hearts of the veterans, Lin Fenghan's image grew taller again. It was much more cost-effective to occupy Elant City without bloodshed than a bloody battle. ;
