In the vast eastern territory, Wangyuan City is definitely a large city that can be ranked first.

As the connection hub between the Eastern and Central regions, thousands of people come and go every day - most of them are merchants; they resell specialties from the two places back and forth to earn a hard-earned money.

However, in the past month, merchants have to choose other roads - the most important "dumb bridge" has been blocked by the army in the East and is simply impossible to pass.

The second son of the Duke of the East, no, is now the second brother of the current Duke, Baker White, led more than 10,000 soldiers into Wangyuan City a month ago, and then arranged the troops of the Dumb Bridge to saturation.

Baker was not very satisfied with this responsibility he had given to his elder brother.

His ideas were deeply influenced by Duke Richard; he believed that in such a situation, as a Son of Man, he should lead the army to the city of God and avenge his father;

But Phoenix asked him to guard Wangyuan City - half the east border was as far away from the front line.

Phoenix once explained to him the importance of Yaqiao and Wangyuan City: the central part of the East is dominated by plains and lacks fortresses to be guarded. Once this place is lost, the East is bound to be connected to the beginning and end;

By then, the army in the direction of the king's leadership will not be able to obtain sufficient supplies, and the enemy can choose to attack Fengming City or occupy the southern part of the eastern border to launch a pincer attack on the eastern border army.

Moreover, the mute bridge was not so hit;

Although the bridgeheads on both sides can only be stationed with more than a thousand people, they are enough to stop the fierce attack of tens of thousands of people - after all, it is not easy to deploy troops near the mute bridge, and too many infantry rashly arranged near the river bank is also susceptible to attacks by bows and arrows from Wangyuan City.

Phoenix repeatedly told him to guard the place well; until the fall of Shenxiang City, if the White family's phoenix flag was still hanging here, he would be the first hero in the entire southern expedition.

However, staying in Wangyuan City all day is not a sense of accomplishment.

The Central Army had launched an attack on the Mute Bridge before; the attack came quickly, which was somewhat beyond Baker's imagination.

However, the attack did not achieve any results; the catapult on the wall of Wangyuan City easily dismantled the siege equipment transported by the Central Army across the river; then, the soldiers of the bridgehead effortlessly repelled the attack of the Central Infantry under the cover of the arrow rain in Wangyuan City.

In this battle, the Zhongjie Army left hundreds of corpses, but only knocked off several stones on the bridgehead.

Moreover, the enemy's power was not that scary - at the beginning, the number of Zhongjie troops was tens of thousands, and the formations all over the mountains looked quite scary;

However, most of them dare to camp far away from Wangyuan City - after all, the most unabashed thing in Wangyuan City is stones and arrows, and they have the entire East Realm to support them.

Later, the tens of thousands of troops were basically withdrawn, leaving only more than 10,000 people to support the scene.

Even Baker, who has never had practical experience, knows that when the attacking party and the defense party have almost no chance of winning when the number of players is roughly equal.

What's more, there is a dumb bridge.

What else can I do? Baker thinks this first skill is too easy to get.

The more than 10,000 people on the other side were obviously mentally normal; after the first attack failed, they had been wasting military rations there - if they insisted on launching an attack, it would be a recurrence of the tragedy.

Baker is only one year younger than Phoenix; although he is relatively dull, he also has the desire to win.

This stalemate scene obviously did not satisfy him - the good news from the south made his heart even more itchy.

Half a month ago, my younger brother Noah led the cavalry to raid the defense line of Scepter Town and won a great victory;

A few days ago, my brother Phoenix won the Bright Moon Mountain in the Crown Town with wonderful command and Noah's raid with more than ten people with minor injuries, and harvested hundreds of prisoners;

And Baker can only report to his brothers that "everything is OK."

Although it is gratifying, if victory can be used as a reward, will the face be brighter?

Not only did Baker want to fight, but his nobles were eager to try;

After all, the opposite side looks too weak.

Baker paced back and forth in the Lord's Hall of Wangyuan Castle, with joy on his face, but his mood was not very peaceful.

Just now, the good news from the Eastern Army came again.

The Duke of Phoenix adopted Noah's strategy and asked the magicians of Huiyin magic to persuade the defenders to surrender day and night at the foot of the Yassan Mountain in Morning Star Mountain. The soldiers there fled to the tents of the Eastern Front;

Then, Noah offered a more effective move: he asked a little noble under his command to disguise himself as a merchant to find the Earl of Oren, who was responsible for guarding Wang Crown Town, and pretended to tell him the route of the Eastern Army's logistics team;

In order to make Count Oren believe this information better, the little noble asked the former for ten golden dragons; then he also said that he had just seen it by chance and was not necessarily accurate - the scientific name of this technique is "playing hard to get".

As a result, Count Oren believed what the little noble said and led the main force to ambush the grain transport team - because the target was too large, it would be impossible not to bring the main force; under the circumstances at that time, Count Oren could not believe others.

The logistics team arrived as scheduled; the escort team dispersed as soon as they fought.

However, the grain transport fleet does not transport food, but the waiting elites.

They cooperated with the team that pretended to retreat to attack and captured Count Oren as soon as possible, and forced the others to land with the minimum loss.

After capturing the Earl of Oren, the remaining hundreds of people were naturally relaxed; shouting at the two mountains was solved.

Baker yearns for such a result - he also wants to achieve outstanding results.

Should we take the initiative to attack enemy camps on the other side of the river?

As soon as this idea appears in Baker's heart, it is as unstoppable as a seed of thriving growth: it feels like it will achieve good results!

After all, both sides have been confrontation for so many days, and even if they are on guard, they should relax now.

Thinking of this, Baker summoned several nobles under his command and stated his thoughts to them;

Several vassals had long wanted to attack the Central Army; as soon as Baker proposed this, they responded one after another.

But they also proposed one thing: if the raid is raid, Baker must stay in Wangyuan City;

After all, it is quite risky to sneak attack on the enemy camp with a small number of elite teams; and Baker’s most important task is to defend Wangyuan City.

Baker listened to their opinions - anyway, the attack must be completed with cavalry, and he couldn't even ride a horse well, and usually he took a carriage;

After several vassals fought for a while, they finally decided to lead the young and powerful Earl Iser to attack in the dark; they tried to fight quickly and complete the robbery camp and return to Wangyuan City before the enemy could react.

Hope to achieve good results...
