Chapter 1255 Chapter 1256: Encirclement and reinforcements
The month-long blockade made the residents of the city quickly become uneasy. Andernus was a smuggling trade city with very frequent trade of goods. There was no habit of stockpiling, even food was no exception.
As time went by, the food reserves at home were dwindling, and no one dared to waste food. The nobles in the city directed the farmers to harvest the last crops in the farmland close to the city wall, and then cherished these possibly last foods.
The land was pressed into the granary and began to impose the strictest curfew and rationing system on civilians.
Even high-yielding grains were planted in gardens and flowerbeds in many places in the city, resolutely looking like they were going to fight a protracted war.
It seems that everything has reached the worst situation, but in fact, in the lord's mansion, the lord Neumann of the main city of Andnus tries to send help information to the teleportation array every day, but every time the teleportation array is opened, what is sent in
All were ejected.
Space teleportation was cut off on the fifteenth day after the siege of the Merox Empire.
Neumann knew it very well, but he was just unwilling to do so.
After asking the attendants to retreat, Neumann left the conduction room. In the rest room outside, he saw several people wearing gorgeous robes had gathered here.
There were exquisite snacks and fragrant black tea on the round table in the rest room, and some of them had obviously been enjoyed.
Food rationing is going on in the city, and civilians can only receive enough food to survive. In order to avoid exhausting their physical strength, most civilians now choose to stay at home all day long.
However, the noble lord of the lord's palace is not within the scope of food control. As the person in charge of the main city of Andnus, the noble lord cannot starve like the untouchables. This not only insults the majesty of the noble status, but also serious
It affects the combat effectiveness of noble men. After all, many nobles are professionals.
It was a reasonable arrangement, so Neumann just took a quick glance at the snacks and tea, and then sat in the main seat with an expressionless face.
"How is the situation in the city?"
A knight in armor stood up: "There is no chaos. The city guards and the small nobles who have surrendered to us are maintaining patrols. The civilians basically stay at home."
Neumann nodded and turned to another consul: "Where is the movement of the Merlocks?"
"Nothing has changed, they are still locking down the city, but they are not taking any further steps."
"How is the formation of the new rifle corps..." A middle-aged officer couldn't help but said angrily.
"What on earth are the commanders of the Merox Empire thinking? Their behavior is simply unreasonable! Fighting and not fighting, letting go and not letting go?"
"Perhaps lords from other regions or the Grand Council of Valencia will come to our aid, but at least at this stage, we are still controlled by others."
Neumann glanced at the angry middle-aged officer, shook his head slightly and said, "The behavior of the commander of the Merlocks Empire is indeed incomprehensible, but it is an indisputable fact that we are under siege. The most important thing is that we have completely cut off contact with the outside world.
It’s impossible to make a judgment at all.”
The knight who was the first to speak had a trace of sadness on his face: "Your Majesty the Governor, what do you think is the purpose of Merox Empire doing this?"
Neumann pondered for a moment, and then said unhurriedly: "It is obvious that they want to occupy the Andnus area."
Then he added: "Neither attack nor retreat, maintain the blockade situation, wait for the main city of Andnus to collapse on its own, his purpose is very clear, that is, he hopes that we will surrender voluntarily and let us become the first batch
The nobles of the central countries surrendered in order to undermine the confidence of other nobles in the federation. In the future, nobles in other regions will follow suit, but I will be nailed to the pillar of shame for the rest of my life."
"This is a typical vicious trick, full of cunning and without honor. Just as we originally judged, the people in the outer continent are all composed of a group of lowly alien races."
"We are the noble masters of the Xinuo Continent, how can we surrender to these outsiders!"
The grumpy middle-aged consul immediately said loudly: "They can only do this in vain. They don't understand the pride of the Sino mainlanders!"
"Those powerful thermal weapons made the Merox Empire arrogant. He thought that conquering the Andnus region would become easier. They were wrong."
Neumann shook his head, but then his tone was a little solemn, "But the enemy commander is still a very cunning person. He did not attack Andernus directly, which shows that he at least understands that he is at a moral disadvantage.
of."
An elderly nobleman who never spoke nodded slightly, with a hint of pride and reserve in his tone: "Yes, he at least realized one thing. If they directly attack Andernus, they will pay a heavy price."
price."
The main city of Andnus realized that such a day would come a long time ago, so it built a high city wall. There are countless secret passages and traps in the city. Once the army enters the city, as long as they fight street battles with the unified army, the unified army will have to pay a heavy price.
cost.
This is Neumann's confidence.
"Yes, Andnus has been managed by us for so many years, how can it be so easy to break into it?"
Neumann said solemnly, his eyes scanning everyone present. Although his words were plain, he conveyed an unswerving thought.
"Our persistence is the biggest counterattack against him. The Merox Empire's blockade of the main city of Andnus cannot last forever. The Principality will not give up on us, and the Federation will not give up on us either..."
"In this process, some of us may die, and this process will be longer and more difficult than we imagined, but I believe that everyone present must be prepared for the honor of the principality and the honor of the federation."
"For the honor of the principality!"
"For the honor of the Federation!"
They ignored one thing from beginning to end. The Melox Empire actually besieged the main city of Andnus, so naturally they would not leave the armies of the Principality of Valencia and the Eurasian Federation alone.
In fact, after the main city of Andernus was besieged, not only the Principality of Valencia sent reinforcements, but also the Federation, but they were all suppressed by artillery fire from the United Army.
The unrelenting fire coverage repelled their repeated rescue efforts, but the two sides had not yet broken out into a head-on battle. From beginning to end, only the people of the Federation and the Principality of Valencia were dying.
This was a typical encirclement and reinforcement tactic. After several heavy casualties, the two gave up the attack and instead confronted the United Army and the National Defense Force.
As for the besieged main city of Andernus, it can only hope for its own good.
Without decisive force, rescuing the main city of Andnus is simply a dream.
