Section 7 Saber rattling

After sending off the envoy of the Motts, Wufeng immediately took urgent action, and the Motts would immediately launch a sweep of the western region of the Sithroes, believing that the rolling iron hooves of the Motts would make the Sithlos overwhelmed, in the talks with the envoys, Wufeng specifically proposed to ask the Motts' cavalry to sweep in the territory of the Hethlos for as long as possible, in order to win more time for himself, of course, Wufeng also swore again to ensure the supply of all kinds of materials for the Motts, especially some necessities such as iron, weapons, food, salt, and other supplies to prevent the possible impact on the Motts if the Sithlos cut off these sources.

In addition to ordering the garrisons of Yinchuan and Taixuan to strengthen their vigilance, Wufeng also ordered the Qingyang Garrison Division to be immediately upgraded to the Third Division of the Northwest Reading Division, and immediately advanced to Guide with the Guards Division; the Guide Garrison Division entered a state of combat readiness; the Fifth Division of the Northwest Army Corps stationed at Partridge Pass immediately went north and stationed in Lulongfu City, while the Third Division of the Northwest Army Corps and the Second Division of Reading Li stationed in Lulongfu City entered a state of combat readiness.
Just when the troops of all walks of life began to assemble and prepare for the war and had not yet set off, the logistics departments in various localities had already started to operate one step ahead of schedule, all kinds of military supplies and equipment were prepared and distributed to all departments on time according to the set time, all the mules and horses and vehicles needed for logistics had already entered the designated positions and began to prepare all the materials needed for the war, and the good work style and emergency response capability of the military combat readiness department in the northwest had been fully manifested.
At the same time that Wu Feng was busy issuing various orders, as if he smelled some suspicious smell, on the battlefield of Gerok, which had been silent for a long time, the strongest storm of blood and fire since the beginning of Kaman's invasion of the Duchy of Gerook, mixed with overwhelming momentum, swept towards Merrington, the capital of the Duchy of Gerook, which was cowering in the southeast corner of the Duchy of Gerook.
"Report to the general, all the armies are ready, and now they are waiting for your orders. ”
Although the spring is bright outside, the thick cowhide tent still looks a little gloomy, which seems to symbolize that the mood of the silver-haired old handsome man sitting firmly on the handsome chair is not so bright.
However, it seems that the officer who came to report did not realize the uneasy state of mind of the general in front of him, who he respected very much, and after a standard military salute, he respectfully presented the preparations for the deployment of various departments and the preparation of logistics materials to the silver-haired general sitting behind the desk.
"Well, I see. He took the information handed over casually, glanced at it cursoryly, and put these things on the desk, the silver-haired general seemed to be a little absent-minded, and a pair of ordinary and powerful gray eyes always felt a trace of hesitation swimming at this time.
"Then, the general;;;;;;" Seeing that the boss had received the report but had not made any arrangements, the adjutant who had submitted the report quietly glanced at the boss who seemed to be thinking about something, and asked softly.
"Well, wait, let me think about it. The silver-haired general stood up, and a translucent heavy armor shook lightly with his body, and with a bang, it was as if the waves were slapping against the shore rocks, stirring up layers of waves, and the battle spirit quietly poured out. With some cherishing caress of the armor on his body, with his decades of horse career, the slightly old armor blades are still as fine as ever under the binding of animal tendons, and the silver-haired general seems to be immersed in the memories of the past, until the adjutant who has been standing silently next to him coughs lightly to pull him back from his past glorious career.
After more than ten days of preparation, the 200,000 army has completely completed the encirclement of the big city in front of it and made all kinds of preparations before the war, countless siege equipment and weapons have been continuously transported to various military camps, everything is carried out according to the unprecedented scale since he joined the army, this is a grand but difficult battle, the silver-haired general has long been mentally prepared in his heart, maybe it will exceed any war he has participated in and commanded before, take it, the territory of the empire will be directly extended to the hinterland of the Tanghe people, and he can also go down in history, if he can't take it, not to mention the loss of troops, morale will also be greatly damaged, and it is possible to become a sinner of the empire himself.
Decades of ups and downs have allowed this old man to face any danger and pressure and be as calm as a mountain, he has long since put everything out of the way, war has become a means and a need for him to make his country strong and prosperous, as for his own personal honor and disgrace and gains and losses he does not care too much. It's just that the imminent battle in front of him made him a little undecided, especially the urgent letter from the Prime Minister of the capital Budley City on the desk made him even more confused.
Why did they have such a request? Capture Merrington within a month, and even send 20,000 troops from Jiama City and Vallin City to reinforce them? Since the northern Baiyin people were making trouble, why didn't they send these men and horses back immediately to quell the rebellion? Now that his side is strong and well-supplied, he can first besiege the other side to wear down the morale of the other party, and then annihilate it in one fell swoop when the time is ripe, but now the prime minister has sent such a letter with a vague meaning, so anxious to take Merrington, I don't know how many more men and horses will be lost.
All these questions lingered in the silver-haired general's mind, lingering. He didn't know that the Prime Minister had disputes with the big nobles in the court, nor did he know that the scale of the rebellion of the Bai Yin people was far greater than in the past, and he didn't know that the attitude of His Majesty the Emperor, who had always been close to the Prime Minister, seemed to have changed strangely.
That's it, that's it, since the prime minister also lets himself make his own decisions, it seems that this battle can only be based on his own feelings, although it doesn't feel very good, but Miley, the silver-haired general, doesn't believe in intuition very much, years of war experience told him not to easily believe those so-called intuition, cruel reality needs real things as a guarantee, and what intuition or speculation you hope for is irresponsible to the war and the soldiers under him.
Although the big city in front of him is tall and strong, this kind of dead city without foreign aid is facing the attack of enemies several times its size, and the final outcome is only one word, that is, the city is destroyed and people die. Miley had no doubt that he would be able to take the city within the allotted time, even without the 40,000 reinforcements that were marching towards it in the starry night, and with 200,000 troops and ample siege equipment, he was confident that he would destroy any fortified city.
Looking through the tent door into the distant sky, the spring is bright, although the sun is not dazzling, but it still seems to be some obstacles for the army to attack the west gate of Merrington City, direct sunlight will affect the accuracy of using long-range strike weapons, but Miley does not intend to give up this morning, a few small problems do not affect anything, he believes that the soldiers who have been trained in a hundred battles can overcome these difficulties.
With a long exhale, Miley perked up, the muscles on his ruddy face did not move at all, but the flames jumping in his deep eyes revealed his thoughts at the moment, "Inform the chiefs of all departments to assemble in the commander's tent!"
Standing at the head of the city, Duke Balins, the head of the Praetorian Guard Corps of the Duke of Gerolock, looked into the distance, and the enemy camp tent that stretched for dozens of miles was like a black giant snake winding around the city he was holding, surrounded tightly, and the camp gates, flags, and fences that could not be seen at a glance were silently lurking around him, although he was motionless, but the momentum of choosing people to devour was becoming more and more solemn, just like the thunderstorm that had accumulated for a long time had not yet broken out, which was even more terrifying, enough to make anyone feel suffocated.
The Carmans, who had been silent for nearly a week, seemed to be beginning to make a move, and Balins, who had received the news, did not dare to slack off, and hurried up to the city wall after leaving breakfast. Looking up, it only took a glance at Balins to conclude that the Kamans were about to make a move.
Almost all the camp gates have been opened, one by one neatly lined up square constantly spit out from the camp gate, the soldiers holding the halberd quickly organized into a neat square line according to the designated area, first step and then horse, when the infantry set up a defensive posture, with a burst of people shouting horses, the cavalry also began to line up in the gap between the infantry square. The last to appear are the equipment and weapons ready to take the lead, the huge catapults, the towering mobile arrow towers, and the sturdy bed ballista, but there are no ladder vehicles and storming vehicles necessary for the siege, and the soldiers holding high the shields are the main force today.
"Order the garrison units to immediately put into combat readiness! The enemy is about to attack the city. Issuing orders in an orderly manner, Balins appeared very calm, "Is there anything abnormal in the other three doors?"
"Back to the general, the north gate and the south gate have found that the enemy has moved, but there is no movement at the east gate. The intelligence secretary, who was immediately behind, reported immediately.
"Oh, there is nothing abnormal at the east gate?" The experienced Balins was also stunned, what the hell is the old fox fighting Miley? Looking at the soldier beside him who was slightly dressed in the Tang River Emperor [***] suit, "General Qin Feng, what do you think?"
"Well, it's hard to be sure for a while, the east gate is slightly weaker than these gates, both the city wall and the city gate, and we have also arranged a considerable number of defensive forces there, Miley is a veteran soldier who has been in a hundred battles, and he is also prepared this time, he won't be unclear about this, he is now putting on this posture, is it a sound to attack the west?" Emperor [***] The person is Qin Feng, the commander of the Second Division of the Fourth Army of the Empire who assisted in the defense of the Principality of Gerlock, his troops have been defeated by the fierce offensive launched by the Kamans in the west some time ago, but fortunately, they have contracted in time and still retain some vital strength, at this time his words and deeds are extremely cautious.
"Impossible, General Qin, according to our intelligence from all sides, the enemy's main forces are deployed in the west, and the most important thing is that a large number of their siege equipment are also concentrated in the west, and it is unlikely that they will be adjusted in a short time, and so far we have not found that the enemy has made a major military movement. Shaking his head, Balins replied categorically.
