Chapter 1381 Battle against Riverrun
Tang Zhangwei saw the Vaddin army on the other side, these troops who came out of Rushing City and that Rapids, they joined forces with the Simo people and the people from the southern tribes of the Black Iron Continent.
In this way, the great commander of the Waddin people, Van Lant, he changed from the previous state of extreme fear to a state full of confidence.
That Bai Wangxu took that griffin cavalry to help that Fanrant get a lot of money and weapons, and now the tribal cavalry of the Shennong clan, as well as the guards of the priest temple of the terrible blazing sea god tribe, they all joined that Fanrante's team, which made that Fanrante's confidence a little stronger.
On the contrary, that Tang Zhangwei and Bai Wuving, because of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the soldiers of the Bronze Continent, the Silver Continent, and the various Tang provinces, they fought for many days in the Black Iron Continent, and they did not completely end this war, they all felt a little tired.
The morale of the Wattine has been running high lately.
Although Fei Xuechun and She Bingbing made a fortune from the war, they increasingly maintained the same view as that Lin Luoye, that is, if this war continues, it will only be an unnecessary war of attrition.
Rather than that, that Fei Xuechun suggested that Tang Zhangwei should take advantage of the current advantage to end this war.
At that time, there was a joke circulating in the Wandering Corps: "If you can jump over the walls of Riverrun, lose a gold coin; If you can turn over the holy mountain of Hurley, lose a hundred gold coins; If you can get another toothpick from Ba Di, you can take all my stuff. β
But it is undeniable that this guy's eloquence is indeed first-class, and under his words, the Randinovian arms dealer can only shake his head and sell weapons, and the price is so cheap that it only makes us understand one thing - it turns out that we have been deceived by those hateful Landinovians all along! That alone was enough for Magura to spend all day walking around the Badi, asking for advice on the secrets of the business.
In this way, with the support of the Taranvino merchants, we were able to get not only sufficient rations, but also better and cheaper equipment, while the thieves stuck to Riverrun and no longer went to war.
On this day, as always, I was in the tent deducing the enemy's possible assault battle, and Arni was boiling supplements from somewhere, and the arms of this little servant were probably stuffed with the prescription of Dr. Wei Wan'er.
The thought of our doctor gives me a headache, and there are already various versions of Miss Wei Wan'er's hobby in the tent, and I don't know how many people are deliberately injured every day. Recently, those Wadine people have gone too far, saying that she is the "goddess of radiance", and if she has no work, she dances in front of the makeshift clinic.
"My lord, ten stone turners have been installed on the mound." Bai Wushu opened the tabernacle, and good news came.
"Really?" I threw down the deduced stones, and ran to the mound with Bai Invincible.
In front of Riverrun, the stone carts were lined up, their black frames glistening in the sunlight, and I could see Magura wiping the dust from the car from a distance, caring for them like his children. On the side was a Landinovian arms dealer, with a sad face making a final deal with Badi.
As soon as Magura saw me, her eyes lit up and she cried out, "Fap, come and see, the treasure that we bought for 1,600 gold coins." β
I hurriedly climbed up the mound, took a closer look at the stone turning cart, and had to sigh: "With these, it's like giving me ten squadrons." β
After speaking, I couldn't help but look at the city gate locked in Rushing City, it seems that the enemy will not drag on for long, in these two days, there will definitely be a large-scale assault battle, I don't know what it will look like when the time comes.
"Bai Wuving, inform me, in the past two days, all the warriors will not leave their armor and their swords, even if they sleep, they must keep one eye open." I turned my head and shouted to the white invincible under the mound, victory and defeat are only two days, both for us and for the thieves.
As soon as I had said this, I felt a breeze with the scent of earth blowing gently over me, and although the sky was clear here, there were a few gray clouds floating in the distant sky, and this warm and humid air flow was brought from there.
"And prepare extra torches, it's not going to be a good weather tonight." I shouted again to stop Bai Wushu who was leaving, and he looked at the sky without complimenting, and nodded thoughtfully. Man, let me kill all those guys, I said it earlier, there's nothing to talk about with thieves. Rhettus paused heavily on his tomahawk and shouted.
"With the hundreds of people we have now? Before we could reach the walls of Riverrun, we were all dead. Tatum snorted coldly.
The situation was that the defence was still struggling, and only about 700 troops of 1,500 men remained, most of whom were still lying in hospital beds. I shook my head, I hadn't even thought about capturing Riverrun, but the other party's way of doing things had obviously lost their minds, and I was afraid that there was also a problem within the thief army.
"Garland." I shouted, and the officers in the camp looked around, for the female dragon knight, known as the "shadow of Fapu", was no less concerned in the wandering regiment than Dr. Wei Wan'er.
"Master, what do you command?" A small sound surged into my ears.
I said, "Let out my 'eyes', I want to know what's going on inside Riverrun." β
"Yes, master." Silence was lost.
"Now we still have to strengthen our defense and dig another trench in front of the mound. White Invincible, you lead a squadron of cavalry and do your best to clear the nests of the thieves scattered in this area; Sherke, find a way to recruit some soldiers from nearby villages; speed, intensify the training of archers, and now long-range striking power is especially important for us; The rest remained on guard. β
"Yes!" The officers all stood up and saluted, and left the tent, and at once there were only two people, Arni and I.
"My lord, how long are we going to fight here?" Arni? Got up.
"Until victory." I looked at the bright sunshine outside the tent, and after a storm, the weather was getting muggy, and summer had finally arrived......
Like the weather, the rest of the defense seemed strangely dull, and the onslaught of the enemy became more and more disorganized, and waves of attacks were launched along the stone bridge, and little was done except to abandon the corpses there.
According to the report of the "Eye" who infiltrated Riverrun, the army of thieves executed all the seriously wounded and began to slaughter the horses, while a news came to my attention, which seemed to be holding a large number of people in abandoned cells, who were clearly not our warriors.
"Clean up the inside of the Thieves Army." This was my first reaction, but with the current military strength, even with the hundreds of newcomers temporarily recruited by Scharke, it was only a mere 1,100 people, and I couldn't take advantage of such a good opportunity.
"My lord, Bai Wushu is back." Arni lifted the tent and rushed in, pulling me back to reality from the pile of information.
"Yes." I hurriedly greeted him. Zibian's power has risen, and he is really becoming more and more like the miser of Badi.
Although I was counting on the chaos in Riverrun, the thieves' reaction was still beyond my expectations, and within a few days, some thieves secretly escaped.
Enjoying the not-so-sumptuous "feast" hand in hand, the thieves' faces were filled with a look of happiness, and I glanced at the seven thieves in the tent, all of them yellow and thin, their clothes probably not washed for days, and the sour smell emanating from them.
"Delicious, delicious." One of the thieves grabbed a handful of rice and stuffed it directly into his mouth, and reached for a chicken leg on the table with his other hand.
The other officers in the tent looked at each other, and even Rhettus, who hated thieves, couldn't help but show sympathy.
"Do you know how many people die in the city for a piece of horse meat? The day before yesterday it was seven, yesterday it was thirteen, and today it is almost more than twenty. The other thief stuttered as he ate.
"The most terrifying thing is the Black Wind Thieves, I heard that they are secretly eating human flesh."
"Since all the Black Hawk people were arrested, the city has become more and more chaotic day by day."
β¦β¦
The thieves ate as they exchanged creepy topics, and the only thing we could understand in their words was that Riverrun was now a place for hungry ghosts. On the other hand, however, the enemy's resistance will remain in place for a long time, which is not good news for our current situation, after all, the crusade has gained the upper hand in Wytonnor, and in Landinovia it seems that the situation is getting worse.
"Alright, I'm full." One of the thieves, who looked to be in his early twenties, patted his stomach and stood up, "Now you can put us to death, thank you for letting us be full ghosts for a while." β
I was stunned and asked strangely, "Why did you want to put you to death?" β
The thief looked sad and said, "I admire your will to fight, you are probably the most warlike Wyton Noorr officer I have ever seen. But you are officials, we are thieves, I will not be naΓ―ve enough to believe that you can let us go, you can do it, I just ask you to give me a good time. β
"I'm afraid you've misunderstood, we're not some Wyton Noor, we're the wandering regiment of Yarufasir." I shook my head.
The thief was taken aback, and it took him a long time before he burst out laughing; "Haha, it turns out that you are not the official army of Wyton Noll at all. It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, so many of us are just fighting a senseless war with the wrong things. β
"What's your name, thief?" I became interested in this man.
The thief straightened his clothes and said in a loud voice: "I am the captain of the first brigade of the Black Eagle Regiment, Bai Wuving. β
"What, you're the 'Eagle of the Black Eagle Regiment'." It was the other thieves who made the exclamation sounds, and I could guess from their expressions what a dazzling figure this "soaring eagle" was.
"No one knew that the 'Sky Soaring Eagle' under the black mask was so young." There was a trace of sorrow in Bai Wuyi's eyes, "But what's the use?" In the end, I still couldn't save the fate of the Black Hawks, and even Big Brother Decos could only watch him get arrested. I frowned and said, "Based on your previous performance, it shouldn't be so bad." β
Bai Wushu shook his head and said, "At first, everyone was still of the same mind, but as soon as they captured Rushing City, the open and secret battles between the thieves surfaced, especially in the first breakthrough battle, almost all of them were the Black Eagle Regiment fighting the vanguard, and the other bandit groups were ......" His face could not hide the gloom.
"Originally, according to Brother De Cos's plan, it would attract your attention from the front, and then a surprise army would go directly behind you, so that it could defeat you in one fell swoop, but the black wheals and blasts that acted as surprise soldiers actually flinched. And after we broke back, they arrested our men as soon as possible. Only later did the thieves take their lives to storm your front. Bai Wushu said hatefully.
The officers in the tent didn't know whether to rejoice or regret that if this De Cos's plan had followed, the Wandering Corps would have been removed more than half a month ago.
"And now?" I asked.
Bai Wushu shook his head: "The thief army that has lost the command of Big Brother Decos is just a puddle of loose sand, and the city defense of Riverrun City can now be said to be full of holes, many people are busy looking for food, and half of the people who keep vigil today are not at their posts." β
"Even so, with our current strength, there is no way to deal a substantial blow to Riverrun, and if we attack now, we will lose a lot of the soldiers we have worked so hard to muster." Bai Wushu expressed his opinion on the side.
Bai Wushu nodded and said, "Yes, although the city defense is not good now, it is enough to find when you cross the moat, and no matter how many soldiers can fight, it can cause a fatal blow." β
"yes." nodded, agreeing with Bai Wuving's point of view.
There was silence in the tent, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but sweep to the dark outside, the rushing city with a few sparks flashing, showing such an expression.
"Well, thank you for the information, it's time for me to keep my promise." Rubbing my hands together, I broke the silence in the tent.
The officers were taken aback, and Bai Wuyi said in a lost voice: "My lord, you don't want to use the dragon lance brigade to save people, do you?" β
I shook my head: "No, no, I'm not that naΓ―ve, I just want to trade with them, with our grain and grass for the prisoners who are consuming their food." β
I sighed slightly, it doesn't matter if it's right or wrong when the battle comes to this point, since I can't take Rushing City for the time being, let's let the meaningless life be wasted, after all, a warrior like Bai Wushu is not available everywhere, and it is my blessing to be able to get him.
Nothing appeals to hungry thieves more than food, when our envoys pointed to the grain and grass piled up outside Riverrun and asked for a change. Most of the thieves applauded, and the few objections were immediately stifled.
