Power and Empire Chapter 284: The fifth knight (3)
The towering city walls are shining brightly, and the gates, which should have been dead at night, are now full of horse-drawn carriages. Lively like a vegetable market.
This evening, news of the 18-lord coalition being ambushed on the Lentu river beach reached the city of Dherim. This caused the already floating city into chaos, and the nobles began to evacuate in large numbers,
Countless horse-drawn carriages inlaid with various badges crowded into a mass at the gate of the city. The noble lords of the past are like untouchables at this moment, poking their heads out of the carriage windows, accusing and spitting at other carriages that stand in the way.
"It's really to see the true face in times of crisis." On the head of Dherim, the city guard Isis looked at a middle-aged nobleman with a blushing neck and thick neck who was arguing with others, and shook his head mockingly." These high-ranking adults are really no different from untouchables when they encounter danger! All the noble etiquette can't keep up with a carriage that can get out of the city as soon as possible!"
"My lord, didn't the Lord Tilit say that we can hold Dherim?" Adjutant Nachiz raised his head curiously, and doubts flashed on the young face. "Then why did they run away? I even saw The carriage of the City Lord's Mansion!"
He is an outgoing child of the Naqi family of the century-old wealthy family in Dehrim City. Although he is very different from the orthodox children in terms of identity, he is only the father of the lord, and he still shoves his son through a certain way. Entered the army and served as an unremarkable squad leader,
I originally wanted to continue to spend a few years in such a leisurely mix, and also to be able to mix in the position of a small city guard, but I happened to encounter this incident
Esis took a complicated look at Na Chizi, thinking that this confused young man was about to accompany him to face the unpredictable future, and sighed for a long time
"Our responsibility is to guard the city of Dherim. The rest is for the adults. I heard that the Vikya offensive was very fierce. Since ten days ago, the southern gateway to Fort Winsco did not fight. After the landing, the Vijay army lined up the three major towns of Kessit, Nabrit and Genaz within one day. Last night, they wiped out the entire southern coalition on the Lentu River Beach. Dehrim, except for Wen, who was close to the Central Territory. Zhilun City. The rest of the area has all fallen into the hands of the Vikings. Now, whoever says he can hold Dherim City"
"Haha!" Esis paused, and the corners of his mouth made a kicking gesture with a smile, "I kicked his **** with my foot. Let him be the first warrior to attack the Vijaya army!"
In the darkness, the fat man rode a war horse on a high hill outside Dhrim city, looking at the chaotic Dhrim city in the distance, his face was indifferent, and his contemplative expression made the nearby Hu Keqili feel Curious, behind him, thousands of cavalry guards were ready, as long as the fat man gave an order. A surprise attack on Dherum City can be launched immediately.
The night breeze is blowing on the face, and the moist air is mixed with the fragrance of weeds
"My lord!" Hu Keqili saw that the fat man was still in thought, and he seemed to have no intention of attacking. He couldn't help but reminded with the courage, "Now is the time when Dherim's defense is weakest. The door cannot be closed quickly. I believe that with just one raid, Dherum City can be taken!"
"No! Cancel the original plan!" The fat man seemed to be irritated by this sentence, and his sluggish eyes were full of expression just now. The fat man turned around. Raised the whip in his hand and pointed at the black sky curtain in the distance, "Do you know where it is?"
Hu Keqili looked in the direction of the fat man's fingers, except for the shadow of the distant mountains. There was nothing, I couldn't help but shook his head in doubt. I don't know what medicine the governor is selling in his heart
The fat man smiled at the corner of his mouth. "That is the Tutic hills, and further north is the city of Wenzhilun. I originally wanted to capture it after the city of Dherim, but now I have changed my mind because It is easy to capture Dherim city, but it is not an easy task to occupy the entire Dherim area.
The fat man paused and looked at the brightly lit city road of Dherim in the distance. "We have been here for almost half a month. Even if Miao Erdian is tense, he will send reinforcements but a certain amount. Not too much. It is conservatively estimated that there is at most one knight’s strength.
Because the southern talents are the opponents they value. In their eyes, we Vekias are just beggars who can drive away at any time. As long as they are not too serious, they will not pay enough attention to them. This is our perfect opportunity. What we need most now is time. If We want to securely occupy the entire area, the best way is to use a specific point to attract them to invest in troops until the Miaoerdian find that they are weak and can no longer send troops,
At that time, not only the entire Dehrim, but also Miaoerdian will be in crisis. Only then will we be able to extract more things. What do you think is the best place like this? "
Hu Keqili showed a suddenly enlightened expression on his face, and he did not hesitate to say, "Naturally, it is the city of Dehrim. This is the center of the entire region and the symbol of the entire region. It not only has a strong wall and a perfect defense castle. The system also has hundreds of thousands of citizens to assist. If it were me, I would concentrate two...: Concentrate on the public! As long as Deherit City is not lost, I can wait for the month. One wave, the third wave of reinforcements."
"Yes! I think so too!" The fat man nodded in agreement, and pointed his whip at the brightly lit Dherum in the distance. "I want to make this a wound that Swadian cannot heal. I want In Dehrim, the blood of Miao Erdian was drawn out bit by bit, so that this behemoth fell down without knowing it!"
"Emergency report! The Fourth Banner Regiment of the Northern Army was ambushed by an unidentified Miaoerdian regular army on the east side of Wenlun Zhicheng. 1,200 casualties were retreating to the eastern town of Satu." The horseshoe sounded from a distance, and the fat characters heard the words of the Lingbing soldier, and a haze flashed across his face, "So fast. I didn't expect the reinforcements to come back so quickly!"
After deciding not to attack the city of Dherim for the time being, the fat man immediately arranged the infantry flag regiment that came to block the road around Dherim. Although he did not attack the city, he could not let those with a large amount of belongings in vain. The nobles of China captured thousands of nobles and seized nearly one million gold coins in one night. After a lot of windfall, the soldiers drove the nobles back again according to the order, and completely sealed off the entire city of Dherim.
Wen Zhilun City, City Lord Hall
"Master Eke won the battle, he really deserves to be a famous general from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!" The brightly-lit hall, a lively celebration banquet is being held, and aristocrats in gorgeous costumes are surrounded by flattering faces. Beside a general in mail,
He is tall and tall, with a knife-cut face with cold arrogance. If you don’t count the red cherry-like rosacea, you can be considered a majestic soldier,
Looking at the nobles all around, Eke narrowed his drunken eyes with a bit of pride, and felt that his trip to the south might not have been so bad. At least, Wikiya’s army is not strong. I only used a thousand knights extorted from the Secretary of War Perthhorn to drive away thousands of Wikiyas. If the Fifth Knights can arrive as scheduled, stick to it. De Herim is not impossible.
"Everyone is too praised. It is the most dangerous moment for you in the kingdom. You have held the city of Wenzhilun." With a self-confessed amiable smile on the corner of Eke's mouth, he raised the sweet and mellow Safikang honey fruit wine in the glass. Said to the people around him, his voice paused, looking at the ardent eyes of the nobles around him, he sneered, "And what I did was just lightly stabbed them in the **** with a knight's spear"
"Haha! Your lord is really humorous!" Eke's words caused a lot of laughter in the hall
"Come, let us do this glass for your deeds and the eternal health of your majesty the King!" Eke raised the glass in his hand and shouted excitedly. All the nobles in the hall raised the glass one after another. In response, for a time, the wise praise of His Majesty the King of the United States overflowed the hall
On the wall of Wen Zhilun, the cold wind of early spring made the sentries curl up and hide behind the wind-shielded battlements. Torches crackled in the wind, and sparks splashed in the wind, like flames blooming in the sky. Hear the sound of kindness from the castle hall, and looked at a figure that occasionally flashed through the window. A look of hatred flashed in the sentry’s eyes
"The noble master from the military department is really shameless!" Sentinel Huliku screamed to the ground with disdain. "It was obviously our Captain Culento who cut against the Vicky at a critical time and let him. There is a chance to gather troops to fight back, and in a blink of an eye it became his own credit! Not only has Culento been put in jail, but he is also prepared to deal with non-compliance with military orders."
"Oh! Who said Captain Culento is of Kujit blood!" The sentinel Malibu shook his head with emotion. "You also know that in the army~IndoMTL.com~ those knight masters always claim to be orthodox. For the Kujites from the northern grasslands, they have always looked down upon them. Heroes like our Captain Culento can only serve as low-level posts like the captain!" "Hush! Stop talking!" I saw the night patrol. When they came over, the sentry reminded each other in whispers. Suddenly a sentry pointed at the black sky in the distance and shouted, "Look! What's that?" The other sentry turned their heads in amazement, and their faces immediately became as ugly as seeing the end of the world.
Hu Liku promised that this was the strangest scene he had ever seen in his life. Dozens of bright and huge fireballs rose from the edge of darkness and crossed an arc. Smashed against the city wall like a meteor. The eardrums of people who are stabbed by the whistling wind hurt
"Rumble" there was a violent explosion, and the whole city wall trembled in the explosion, and the huge fire bloomed like the sun rising in the dark night. Illuminating the pale and feeble faces of the defenders on the wall, the sputtering fire illuminates the city head brightly.
"Enemy attack!" The screams mixed with screams resounded across the city, and there was a strange roar from the sky. "What!" The soldier raised his head curiously. "Swish" countless arrows descended from the sky. The defender was shot to the ground by the sudden arrow rain.
"It's the Vekya! It must be the Vekya here for revenge!" Sentinel Huliku looked at his companion who fell to the ground with arrows all around, his face pale in panic
