In the joyful state of the Elantra soldiers, the sun slowly appeared on November 20th. After marching long distances, their lost morale also improved. The self-confidence of never failing made the Elantra army stronger.
In the early morning, Ke Lande told Lin Fenghan the results of last night's battle and the affairs of the army.
"Lord Baron, yesterday we slightly injured 17 people and captured 167 prisoners. The Second Army lost more than 30 people last night, and later seriously injured more than 20 people. They lost a total of more than 300 people. . Now everyone trusts you very much, both veterans and recruits admire you very much."
"Really?" Lin Fenghan was stunned and said seriously: "Keland, the city we are going to attack this time is not trivial. Listening closely to the description of Shenmu City by Tomeson and others, I feel that this city is very difficult to capture. Exit, you send a team of light cavalry to write a letter asking the sailors to quickly carry our catapults on the road."
"Hey! It's a pity that the bronze cannon is too heavy, and the mass required for the mixed gunpowder combustion and explosion is also too much. Otherwise, if I can build a small bronze cannon, why bother now."
"Yes! The bronze cannon is really powerful, and the weight is too heavy. Only the ocean or flat land can withstand the transportation of such weapons with a weight of 10 to 20 tons."
Colander nodded and asked doubtfully: "Baron, what should we do now? Should we attack the city before the heavy weapons arrive?"
"Attack!"
"Of course we will attack."
Lin Fenghan nodded solemnly and said: "Even if the siege machinery does not arrive, we will still attack."
"By the way, aren't there many workers in our army who have worked in blacksmith shops, lumber mills, and refineries? Find them, we will use local materials, and the entire army will build catapults together. I don't believe that we can't defeat them. Shenmu City.¡±
"Yeah! That makes sense." Corland nodded.
Lin Fenghan looked at the red glow in the east and said calmly: "Order the whole army to eat quickly and set off quickly! Without the obstruction of Bumisxiu and others, I believe that with a distance of nearly 40 kilometers, we can at least make it late at night. Arrive near Shenmu City."
"Yeah!" Kelland nodded seriously.
A new day begins, and Elantra's huge army quickly moves into action. Many soldiers set fire to cook, eat, carry luggage, and prepare supplies. Some naval logistics troops came from behind to transport new food and arrow supplies to the army, and brought injured soldiers and captured prisoners over. The entire army was operating in an orderly manner. The logistics force of more than 1,000 people in the rear is an important part of maintaining the good condition of the entire army.
On the road on the mountainside of a big mountain, Bumi Subrati and others sat dejectedly and warmed themselves by the fire.
"General, please have some rice porridge! It was just cooked." A young orderly quickly handed the rice bowl to Bumisxiu and said softly.
"No need, I can't eat, give it to Brati!" Bumisxiu weakly wiped his bloodshot eyes and said in frustration.
Bulati looked up at the soldiers, shook his head indifferently and said, "You can eat, I'm not hungry."
"Why!"
After stirring the fire, Bumisio continued to add firewood to the fire. Although he was sitting near the fire, Bumisio, who was severely wounded, still felt very cold.
After being silent for a long time, Brati looked up at Brati in pain and said: "Brother, we really lost miserably this time. I really didn't expect that we were the first to attack in a sneak attack, and we were the ones who suffered serious losses?"
"why is that?"
"why?"
Bumisxiu looked at Brati who was shouting angrily, waved his hand gently and said: "Third brother, you don't need to blame yourself, I am the one who should really bear the responsibility. I thought before that even if Yi Liuyun could guess the Tao accidentally, there would be no There were too many arrangements, and when I got close to him, I realized that he wasn't sleeping at all, just waiting for us to attack."
¡°I deeply underestimated him.¡±
¡°I really underestimated him.¡±
"I originally wanted to bully him for having little war experience and being unfamiliar with battlefield things, but I didn't expect that this time we suffered serious losses."
"Hey! In the final analysis, I am still not cautious enough."
"You're not cautious enough!" Bumi Xiu sighed up to the sky.
Brati raised his spirits and said calmly: "Brother, do we want to continue to ambush and harass them?"
"No!"
?Bumi Xiu pointed to some soldiers walking out of the tent around him, and said in a sigh: "LookWe originally had close to 800 people together, but now there are less than 500 people left. If the losses continue, then all our trusted people will be completely lost. "
"At that time, even if the war is won, you and I will join the army, and the power of our family will be greatly reduced. By then, our Brant branch family will truly decline."
Bumisxiu said energetically: "Brother, what we have to do now is to maintain our strength, retreat back, and wait for the decisive battle to make a great counterattack."
"We have blocked them for two days today. The troops in the western part of the Senvi Mountains should also be able to reach Shenmu City around this time. Even if we go back and blame Blair's main army commander, we still have reason to fight back against him."
"It is expected that the Elantra army may launch an attack on Shenmu City tomorrow on the 21st. We must be well prepared when we return."
"Yeah!" The two looked at each other and nodded, preparing to lead their troops to retreat towards Shenmu City.
In the center of the Kingdom of Dambreth, next to the Dolphin Bay in the inland sea that separates the kingdom's mainland, in the castle of the Duke of Brant's family in the city of Malis. Duke Brant was eating breakfast, looking at the intelligence that had been sent recently, and roared angrily.
"Fool!"
"Fool!"
"Fucking trash!"
Bang! A plate was thrown to the ground by Brandt. Looking at the advancing old butler Capet, Brandt said angrily: "Old butler, take a look! After Kevlar lost. Now Elant's Yiliuyun He led the fleet south and directly captured Hailin Town, an important town along the coast of Senwei, and then went straight into Shenmu City, the central city in the Senwei Mountains without stopping."
"So far, our soldiers and generals have lost! Lose! Lose! One-seventh of our family's territory has fallen into the hands of Yi Liuyun. If Shenmu City is lost, then the layout in the south will be It will be a complete failure. The hard work of my family¡¯s ancestors on the expedition more than 200 years ago will be completely lost.¡±
"Your Highness, Duke, calm down." Capet quickly waved his hand and ordered the attendants to clear away the plates, and whispered: "According to rumors, His Majesty Lighthamon has sent manpower and materials to support Baron Elantra, and at the same time, they have also roped in Baron Bratt. "
"What?"
"This bastard."
Brandt slapped the table angrily and stood up, walking back and forth and saying: "If Light Harmon goes to support Baron Elante, then the current situation can have a reasonable explanation."
"Light Harmon, he turned out to be such a bastard in order to restore the majesty of the king's power! Bratt, if he dares to accept Light Harmon's assistance, I will really be cruel."
"Hmph! These damn wastes!"
¡°Damn Wright Harmon!¡±
¡°Damn Baron Elante.¡±
"We can't sit still and wait for death."
Brandt walked back and forth, finally stopped, and said ruthlessly: "If Yi Liuyun really takes Shenmu City this time, then I will immediately summon the third and fourth legions."
"At the same time, issue a summons to all the vassals of Duke Brant's family. I want to fight a real war with Lethamon and Yi Liuyun."
"Yes!" Capet nodded solemnly, and then asked doubtfully: "Your Excellency, can Yi Liuyun really conquer Shenmu City?"
"If we use the power of vassals and border garrison troops for a small baron, wouldn't it make other nobles laugh out loud?"
Brandt sat calmly on the chair, frowned and said, "It's hard for me to believe that Baron Elant can conquer the heavily defended Shenmu City, but we must not underestimate him! There is nothing wrong with being prepared in advance."
"yes!"
In the royal palace of Kesir, the capital of the Kingdom of Dambreth, Lighthamon and the Prime Minister sat opposite each other in front of the table.
King Lighthamon looked at the paper in surprise and said: "It's unimaginable that Baron Elantra, who just won the battle, didn't take a break and led the fleet south. Now he has captured the important town of Hailin in the coastal center of the Senvi Mountains. town, and directly led the army to march towards Shenmu City, the central city in the Senwei Mountain Area."
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Palace Prime Minister Plantu said, stroking his beard: "This kid Yiliu Yun is really a military genius, but Duke Brant still has sufficient military strength in the Senvi Mountains, and Shenmu City is in a special location and has strong defenses. Hou, I wonder if Yi Liuyun can create a miracle and conquer Shenmu City?"
"I'm looking forward to it too?" Wright Harmon picked up a small snack, took a bite, and asked softly: "You got in touch?"Is it Baron Bratt, the younger brother of Duke ???Lante? "
"Your Majesty! We are in contact." Plantu also took a sip of soy milk and wiped his mouth and said: "Baron Bratt is not very courageous and has little ambition. After hearing that your majesty is willing to help him become the Duke of the Brant family, he He was very afraid at first and firmly opposed it. He said that he just wanted to be a rich noble. However, as I sent people to take him to various high-end banquets and viewed various rare items, his will also wavered and he is no longer so stubborn. .¡±
"Yes!" Wright Harmon nodded and said calmly: "This boy is just a noble with average talents and cautious behavior. As long as we use beautiful women, money, wealth and power to seduce him, he will succumb sooner or later."
"By the way, how are our army supplies prepared? Have the army soldiers completed the inspection?" Wright Harmon suddenly raised his head and asked.
Plantu lowered his head and said softly: "Your Majesty, our royal family tightly controls a quarter of the country's land. Although it is the largest and most powerful among the many nobles, we have many officials, and many of them have empty pay. Soldiers There are not as many as there are on the list.¡±
"Now we have only checked a small part, and found that there are too many people who are eating empty wages, and only three or five out of 10 people have combat effectiveness. Although there are more than 70,000 regular soldiers in the land we control, their real strength is not great. At present, We have control around the royal capital, and after verification, the combat strength that can be mobilized is about 20,000 people."
"20,000 regular Guards troops? It's already a lot. Order, continue to hoard supplies, review troops, and continue to increase the strength we can control."
Letharmon said seriously: "Send a representative to give a part of the ordnance to Baron Elantra, and ask him to stir up the situation even more. When the southern region is completely defeated by him, I will ask him in the name of the king to give the title that does not belong to him." Give me all the land that can be managed. If he doesn't give it to me, I will send troops to deal with him."
"We must remain vigilant against the Duke Brant family. Although their family is a distant relative of our royal family, we must not allow them to continue to grow. When their family's strength has truly dropped too much, we will start buying and confiscating them. territory, I must firmly control the land and rights of this kingdom in the hands of the royal family." Lethamon stood up and patted the table.
"Your Majesty is majestic!" Plantu lowered his head and praised.
