    Then you can go straight to Huanglong and attack Suplin Castle, the capital of Saxony.  It's over, everyone has been deceived by the Easterners. Their real intention is not to push the city of Pusk, but to drain the firepower and directly kill the Kingdom of Saxony.  The Kingdom of Saxony has been established for a hundred years. After the painstaking management of Lothair I and Lothair II, it has become the most powerful force in the Holy Roman Empire. Even the eastern nobles headed by the Frederick family have been overwhelmed by the Kingdom of Saxony.  If the Easterners really capture Suplin Castle, it will cause a major earthquake within the Holy Empire, and the entire empire will be reshuffled.  The kingdom land composed of Upper Saxony and Lower Saxony can be closely connected with the Istria Highlands. From then on, the powerful Eastern Empire will control the voice of the northern part of the Holy Empire.  Why is this happening?  No, the Easterners must not be allowed to get the Kingdom of Saxony. Sugus didn't want to give up. When he thought of the possible consequences, he couldn't help feeling cold from the bottom of his heart.  The Eastern Empire is already powerful enough. Once they take in the land of the Kingdom of Saxony, the Holy Empire will be completely crushed.  Sugus dispatched all the available troops and horses in Pusk City. He did not dare to breathe for a moment and rushed westward. However, all his efforts were destined to be in vain.  When they came to Festak, the powerful Kypros garrison finally showed its ability to crush everything. With trebuchets and ramming vehicles, coupled with the rain of arrows, the entire Festak was shrouded in a sad atmosphere.  middle.  Festak guarded the eastern entrance of the Kingdom of Saxony. Tens of thousands of Prussians were desperately stationed here, but when had the Prussians ever seen so many trebuchets?  In the evening, a new round of attack finally began, and Xiao Zhiyun personally arrived at the front line to supervise the battle.  Xiao Zhiyun is not relaxed at all. Not eating Festak means there is a risk, so no matter how much the price is paid, Festak City must be captured quickly, "Yu Xiaochen, all the firepower accumulated in the general  Throw all the oil in, and the long archers suppress it from the south. In addition, they transfer the Iron Buddha Tu and tell Yelusha that I will give him an hour. If he still can't take the high ground in the north after one hour, let him come to see you.  " Once under command, Xiao Zhiyun returned to his previous determination to kill. Although the imperial soldiers attacked fiercely, it was not enough. The Prussians on the high slopes in the north contained a lot of energy.  The reason why the iron pagodas were sent over was because of the heavy armor defense of the iron pagodas. Even if these iron pagodas did not have war horses, they would still have to chew down the high ground if they crawled over little by little.  After receiving Xiao Zhiyun's order, Yelusha dared not hesitate. He knew Xiao Zhiyun's character too well. This woman was true to her word and was resolute and courageous in doing things. Not to mention Yelusha, even if it was Pang He and Xiao Kui, if she couldn't complete it,  The military order is still to kill without mercy.  The high slopes to the north have always been an obstacle to the attacking troops and horses. These Prussians continued to make sneak attacks, and when they were attacked by heavy troops, they quickly withdrew to the high slopes.  This area is full of coniferous forests. The soldiers of the Dingguo Army were not familiar with the terrain and suffered heavy losses after entering many times.  In order to complete the task assigned by Xiao Zhiyun, Yelusha decided to go to Gaopo himself.  The cold wind blew strongly at night, and the forest roared, like countless women moaning and sighing, which made people shudder. Setting fire would definitely not work. The forest was so close to Festak. Once a fire was set, not only the Prussians would be burned, but also the Prussians as well.  Soldiers of the Dingguo Army.  Looking at the gloomy jungle, Yelusha turned over and dismounted, with a fierce energy that only a gangster could have. "Dismount all of them, and move some of the long archers behind. Three people form a team to protect the two long archers. I am  The general won¡¯t believe it. Even if this is the Dragon Pond and the Tiger¡¯s Den, I still want to capture this place.¡± In this coniferous forest, ordinary methods of fighting will not be effective at all. No wonder Concubine Xiao insisted on letting Tiefu Tu come over. It¡¯s clear.  If Tiefutu is to be used as a heavy infantry and crush them bit by bit, even by climbing, they have to plow this high slope bit by bit.  This is not the first time that Tiefutu has made a guest appearance as heavy infantry. Fortunately, they are used to it. As long as there are infantrymen holding shields to cooperate, they can also be qualified heavy infantry.  In just a moment, a large number of infantry and longbowmen were moved down the high slope. These people formed a team of six, spread out the formation, and pushed in little by little. The shield bearers protected the longbowmen, and the iron pagoda acted as a human shield in front.  , this weird combination is somewhat nondescript, using the iron pagoda as a human shield, and only an army like the Dingguo Army can come up with it.  If Lothair and others knew that Yelusha used the Iron Buddha in this way, they would be so angry that they would faint. This is a group of iron cavalry built with a lot of money, but they actually did the most inconspicuous and dirty work.  Under the cover of night, the Prussians hid in the woods and attacked secretly. This method was tried and tested. The Easterners had rushed into the woods several times before, but they all came back defeated.  Stupid Easterners dare to enter the woods even though it's dark. Isn't this looking for death?  A Prussian held a small crossbow in his hand. When he saw the shining spot of the torch, he quickly took action. The sharp arrow pierced along the cold wind, but there was no muffled sound as expected, only a clanging sound.  Damn it, why can't you shoot someone?  The Prussian was still wondering when he felt a strong wind in his ears.?, followed by a sudden pain in his shoulder, an arrow pierced the animal skin on his shoulder and sank into the flesh.  This situation kept happening. After the Prussians lost hundreds of people, they realized that something was wrong. The Eastern soldiers who entered the woods this time were almost invulnerable.  After paying a heavy price, they finally understood what was going on. They were a group of infantry covered in iron armor, with long archers behind them. As long as someone attacked them, they would immediately counterattack in the direction of the attack. Many Prussians were killed in this way.  .  What can we do? Those people are invulnerable and the sky is dark. They can only be beaten passively. If they retreat like this, they will all have to jump off the cliff.  In desperation, the commander in charge of Gaopo could only order the withdrawal and all retreated to Feistak City.  After daybreak, the remaining Prussian soldiers on the high slope were wiped out. Yelusha finally breathed a sigh of relief. This job was not easy at all. It was better to attack the city.  On this day, the sky over Festak City was covered with clouds, just like the mood of the soldiers and civilians in the city.  Since Lothair II took office, the city of Festak has become the territory of the Conrad family. Up to this generation, the current lord of the city is the Duke of Mazovia in Lower Saxony. Conrad Mazovia is now thirty-seven years old.  It is the peak age of Spring and Autumn.  He is absolutely unwilling to hand over the city of Feistak to the hands of the East. The interests of the Conrad family are closely tied to the Lothair family. Both parties will prosper and suffer.  If the Kingdom of Saxony cannot be preserved, the Conrad family will be completely submerged in the long river of history and will never recover.  Mazovia devoted himself to guarding the entrance to the kingdom, but the development of the situation gave him more and more headaches. Until now, the soldiers and horses deployed to harass and contain the outside were either wiped out or forced back to the city. So far, only  Off to Feistak City.  The Oriental was really so powerful. He completely controlled the battle situation in his own hands overnight.  Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door. Not long after, John, a priest belonging to the Conrad family, walked in with his sleeves tucked in. Looking at the frowning Mazovia in front of him, John bowed and said, "Your Majesty the Duke  , Pope Gregorian has sent out the church armed forces around Hohenzollern, and they will be able to reach Festak within two days. I hope that the Duke will hold on for two days. " "His Majesty the Pope has sent troops.  ?" Mazovia didn't show much excitement. What he was worried about now was how to hold on for two days.  It is understandable that the Pope is willing to send reinforcements. Looking at what the Easterners did in Kypros, they do not believe in God at all and are a group of complete pagans.  In Kiev and Vladimir, the Easterners brutally suppressed the Church. If the Easterners were allowed to occupy the Kingdom of Saxony, the influence of the Church in the Holy Empire would be further weakened.  For the benefit of the church, Gregory must also do everything possible to block the progress of the Easterners.  Gregor is different from people like Dorle. He does not have his own land, and the only thing he relies on is the power of faith. If God's faith is doubted, the power in his hands will dissipate, but Dorle and others, they can  They do not live by the church. They have their own territory and their own business interests. From the beginning, they are not on the same line as the church. In some respects, Dorle and even Lothair, they have always wanted to  Trying every possible means to weaken the influence of the church is just in vain.  Of course, Gregory did this not for Lothair, but to maintain the integrity of the Holy Empire. As long as the empire was stable, the church's power would not suffer much loss.  Although people like Lothair also tried their best to weaken the influence of the church, they did not dare to do it blatantly. However, Easterners were different. They would really attack the church without considering the opinions of the Germanic people.  When John sat down, Mazovia reached out and tapped the map in front of him, "You may not know, but the Easterners have an army of one hundred thousand. There is no doubt about this. The people I sent out will not be wrong after many statistics."  How can we hold on for two days in the face of such a huge army? Unless the army in the Istria Highlands can appear behind the Easterners in time, how can we do it on our own? " "My lord, sir?  Up to now, some methods have to be used as needed. As far as I know, there are still more than 2,000 young and strong men in Feistak City, and there are 4,000 men over ten years old. Including young women, there are  It's a big force. We can only try our best to last for two days." John was talking eloquently. At this time, he was not a holy priest, but more like a legal officer who was constantly calculating for victory.  Mazovia frowned very hesitantly. He did not want to use this method. As a result, those civilians would probably suffer heavy casualties. But in the end, he nodded with difficulty. For the benefit of the Conrad family, some things must not be done.  Don't do it.  The Conrad family used all available forces. The soldiers and civilians in the city were gathered together. Everyone contributed their own strength to resist the attack of the Dingguo army. It may be insignificant, but thousands of people and tens of thousands of people gathered together.  , is still a force that cannot be underestimated. ËÈ???, the rumble of the drums sounded, and the trebuchets began to show their power again. Due to the huge workload, many trebuchets were overused and malfunctioned and were seriously damaged.  But Xiao Zhiyun had no intention of stopping, and the pressure on Feistak City could not be stopped until they were breathless.  In fact, there are many things that do not require Xiao Zhiyun's instructions. Now there is only one Feistak City left. Time is tight and there is no other way to think of but to attack by force.  Gao Chong and Shi Wengong were personally responsible for the command in both directions. In order to capture Festak in one fell swoop, Xiao Zhiyun invested 14,000 troops at once.  Now we can only wait patiently. Gao Chong was in charge of the south side and took the lead in launching the attack. The vanguard of two thousand people carried ladders and rushed towards the strong city in front of them under the cover of long archers.  These people include Slavs and Mongols. At this moment, they are close comrades-in-arms and have the same goal, to capture Festak and seize the Kingdom of Saxony.  Pushkin was a hunter from the Caucasus Mountains. He had no great dreams. He only knew that in the most difficult time, it was the Eastern Regent who saved the lives of his family.  He is a man who knows how to repay his kindness. He has only one goal for the rest of his life, which is to fight on the battlefield for the Eastern Emperor and expand his territory. He is the sharp knife in the hand of the regent.  Carrying a wooden shield in his left hand, Pushkin rushed towards the city like a wild beast.  A piece of rolling wood fell, Pushkin roared angrily, flicked the wooden shield, and threw the rolling wood aside, "Ah, Prussian slaves, grandpa is here." For these Prussians, Pushkin despised them. These people did not have their own land at all.  , just keep surrendering to others, they are not worthy of being a great warrior at all.  The Conrad family are just wild dogs around Lothair, how can they compare with the Prince Regent?  A stone fell against his cheek, and the sharp stone scratched his skin, leaving a deep scar. Pushkin already looked rough and majestic, but now a blood stain on his face made him look particularly ferocious.  He grinned, and in the eyes of the defender, it was as if he saw an evil ghost.  A Prussian civilian who had just touched the battlefield was so frightened that he screamed when he saw Pushkin's ferocious smile and couldn't help but retreat.  In the distance, Gao Chong kept observing the progress of the siege through the telescope. Seeing that the city was getting closer and closer, he couldn't help but waved and said, "Very good, let the long archers get close to the city wall immediately. No matter how much it costs, we must do it."  Suppress the defenders and reduce the pressure on the siege personnel. "When the long archers approach the city wall, they will inevitably put themselves within the shooting range of the opponent's crossbowmen, and the damage will definitely be great.  But Gao Chong believed that it was worth it. As long as they could reach the top of the city, the sacrifice of the longbowmen was meaningful.  The soldiers had no doubts about the military orders. Even though there were huge risks involved, the longbowmen still approached the city wall without hesitation.  Although protected by shield hands, people continued to fall in the face of overwhelming projectiles. The soldiers of the Dingguo Army continued to suppress the defenders at the top of the city at the cost of their lives. It was the bows and arrows they launched in time that caused the attackers to siege the city.  Man has gained a respite.  Pushkin saw a loophole in the city's defense, took out a flying claw from his waist, and accurately hooked it onto the battlement. Then his bear-like body grabbed the flying claw rope and ran up quickly.  This is Pushkin's unique skill as a hunter. He is usually used to climb big trees. It is equally effective when used in siege. He can grab the battlements and use force to jump directly into the city wall.  He pulled out the steel knife and chopped the dazed Prussian in front of him to the ground.  Pushkin was born with supernatural powers, lived in the mountains all year round, and developed a strange sword technique. For a while, the Prussians were killed by him.  With Pushkin opening the way, more people rushed up along the ladder. Not long after, a man in silver-gray chain mail rushed up carrying a spear. This man was the commander Ren Fe.  A commander actually went to the top of the city to fight in a bloody battle, and the soldiers all moved forward bravely.  Ren Fe and Pushkin were like a pair of generals, leading the soldiers to continuously attack and widen the gap. When one-third of the western city wall fell into the hands of the Dingguo army, it also indicated that the battle for the city wall was a foregone conclusion.  , with the powerful combat effectiveness of the Dingguo Army, it would be difficult for the Prussians to counterattack.  The offensive and defensive battle in the west was in full swing, but the east side that Yelusha was responsible for fell into a bitter battle. Mazovia personally took charge of the defense in the east. The Prussians were as brave as taking medicine. The death squads sent by Yelusa rushed to the city several times, all of them were killed.  Being beaten down was a heavy loss.  If it weren't for an urgent military situation, Yelusha would never adopt this desperate strategy, "Where's Sieg? Let Sieg come to see me, send out the guard battalion, and make sure to capture the east wall." "Yes" Guards  Not long after leaving, Siege hurried over. As soon as they met, Yelusha raised his foot and kicked Siege to the ground. Unable to understand his hatred, Yelusha pointed at Siege and cursed angrily, "Sigur, what the hell are you doing?"  How did you give the command? Why did you retreat after you were already fighting? What are you doing? Do you want me to go up and fight in person? " Sieg quickly got up from the ground, stood up straight, and spoke loudly.  Said, "General, give me another chance. This time I will give you another chance."The general will definitely be able to knock down the city wall. If not, the general will leave his head on the wall.  " Yelusha glared at Siege, waved his hand and hummed, "I will give you another chance. This time I will transfer the guard battalion to you. If you still can't knock down the city wall, you will hand over the command to Yu.  Xiaochen, do you understand?  " "Yes, the general understands." Qi Ge's face turned red and white. Yu Xiaochen was Concubine Xiao's confidant. If the command was temporarily taken away by Yu Xiaochen, what would be the reaction in the eyes of the concubine?  ? He couldn't afford to lose face like this. Even if he died on the city wall, he couldn't let Yu Xiaochen laugh at him. Maybe it was because he became less courageous after becoming the commander, but this  At this critical moment, no matter how hard you risk your life, you have to go up. Before Sieg could move, Nokikav came in a hurry on horseback. As he dismounted, he shouted, "General, the west wall has been breached, now General Gao."  The headquarters has occupied most of the city wall.  Concubine Xiao orders you to quickly abandon the east side and attack the south wall instead. Cooperate with General Gao's troops to quickly open the west gate.  In addition, we have just received news that Pope Gregory has sent a church armed regiment and is moving in the direction of Festak.  "
