Chapter 340: Declaration of War [Leed]
It turns out that the previous dispatch of envoys to pass letters was just to find a relatively high-sounding reason for the war.
After Lid rejected Prince Mog's request, Mog immediately sent envoys over - this time he did not enter the bridgehead again.
The envoy built a simple high platform directly outside the bridgehead, and used amplification magic to broadcast it;
The sound was so loud that even the people of Lion City could hear it clearly.
The content made Lid worried: they accused the Ryinling and the Corey tribe of colluding with each other and planning to rebel;
For a long time, the Reining has made unreasonable show of kindness and assistance to the Kori tribe, which should be facing each other, and recently ordered the Kori tribe to launch an attack on the people in Blade City, and took in prisoners, and refused to return it;
Given that the Reiner had so many rude actions, Duke Makin Wall decided to send his future Northern heir, Mog Wall, to conquer the Reiner;
If the people of the Ryin leader can find their conscience and take the initiative to resist the rude and unreasonable behavior of the Ryin family, the Wall family will reward them;
But if the nobles from the Reindependence are in harmony with each other, they will be treated as enemies and eliminated together!
After talking about what to say, the envoy did not stay outside for too long. After removing the platform, he left. The meaning was very simple, just tell you, and he didn't plan to continue communicating with you.
Dog suggested that Lid shoot the preaching envoy with arrows in the city to destroy the momentum of Blade City, but Lid did not agree;
On the contrary, he also organized an envoy group and took as heavy as possible gifts as possible to set out towards the direction of Binfeng City, without intending to give up even a little chance of peace talks;
But Mog ruthlessly destroyed the little hope left by Lid - he beheaded the Lord's envoy and sent the remaining envoys back to send the head;
The others in the envoys were not complete either: some lacked one hand, some lacked a nose, and some had their ears cut;
At the same time, a letter that was sent back was full of sarcasm and provocative words; Mog suggested that Lid find a break to avoid being defeated and arrested and humiliated; Rein's leader will be trampled into ruins under the iron hooves, and no one can escape!
Lid was so angry that his eyes turned black and his mind was flushing. He almost fainted on the spot. It took him a while to recover.
At this moment, he finally realized how effective Duoge's suggestions were.
What made him feel even more frustrated was that people had the capital to be angry, but Lid did not;
When people get angry, they can lead the army to launch a fierce attack on the bridgehead with less than loss;
What if Lid gets angry again? Will he take his soldiers out of the fort and fight for others?
That doesn't seem to be much different from dying.
The afternoon of the second day after the envoy was driven back to the bridgehead, the combat command room.
Dogg could see that Lid's hair had turned white.
On the table in front of Lid, there was a letter that had just been opened and read—which read Aunt Ollian's instructions to him.
Be sure to stick to the bridgehead and not go out of the city to fight; the enemy's cavalry is strong and can only rely on fortifications to counterattack!
Do you still need special instructions for this kind of thing?
At this moment, the ferries along the Qiufeng River were almost paralyzed, and there were no pedestrians coming and going on the Orion Bridge;
These merchants have a very keen sense of smell; if they don’t even know that they are going to fight, they will lose all their money sooner or later.
"Mr. Lid, you don't need to worry so much." Dogg felt that he had to stabilize the coach's mood. "The defense in the bridgehead is approaching. If the enemy dares to invade, he will definitely pay a heavy price!"
"The enemy is not just a team of 'Wrath of the North'." Lid recalled the various types of weapons he saw there, "and they also prepared a lot of weapons for the city wall..."
"We have an advantage in range!" Dogg continued, "the preset trenchers on the bridgehead can destroy their siege equipment in advance!"
Destroy in advance? Can it really be done?
Lid remembers that there are only four fixed remote trench trenchers in this bridgehead—two on the left and right;
They do have a range worth boasting about, but only the range can be taken out.
Lid compared the ones he had seen in the North before; they were much inferior to others in terms of power, accuracy and reloading and launching efficiency.
As for the mobile trenchers that can be supplemented, there are more than ten mobile trenchers, but their range simply does not meet the standard of "long-distance strike";
As for the number of soldiers and arrows, there is no need to worry at all; Aunt Olian had long anticipated the situation today, so she attached great importance to the arms of Orion City;
If it weren't for the fact that the project of adding a bridgehead trench would arouse the hostility of Duke Makin in advance, she would have to install a few more doors.
"Didn't Mrs. Olian say that... We don't need to completely eliminate the enemies, let alone defeat them!" Dogg continued to comfort, "As long as we can prove our strength!"
While causing unbearable huge losses to the enemy, it ensures the relative integrity of the bridgehead - that is, the deterrent ability.
To put it simply...!
The enemy is not here to make fun of it!
According to the information sent back by the spies a few days ago, Mog brought at least 20,000 people out! Half of them were cavalry!
If you can pull out so many cavalry teams at will, the entire Kingdom of Fares can probably be done by Bladefinition City - they occupied the largest grassland in the northern border, and it would be no longer convenient to train cavalry.
In addition to the troops that are several times higher than one's own side, there are also extremely large amounts of siege equipment;
The spies gave relatively accurate information this time: fifty "shocks" used to hit the city wall, hundreds of wooden high-rise platforms used to shoot people in the fort, and more than two hundred catapults of various types.
The reason why it is so accurate is not because the spies are so clever, because those big guys cannot hide them when transported out of the city. The spies just need to watch and count them.
Are you here to fight or demolition?
Lidd imagined the scene of fifty rushing cars slamming around the bridgehead - no, I can't figure it out.
Those fifty rushers were simply unable to move; one 20 or 30 was approaching saturation.
What is the scene of so many rushing cars launching attacks on the city wall?
It only takes one incense stick and the bridgehead will no longer exist.
Not to mention those well railings and catapults... that cannot be stopped, they cannot be stopped at all!
"Sir..." Dogg saw that Lid's expression was not relieved at all, so he could only sigh helplessly.
Do your best and leave your fate...
"Sir!" The hurried and violent knock on the door broke the silence in the command room;
Before Lid could let the soldier enter the door, the latter shouted out the emergency situation to be delivered:
"Enem! Enemy is coming!"
Chapter completed!
