Horn City is five miles long and four miles wide. It is now filled with allied soldiers. Countless soldiers who cannot enter Horn City have no choice but to set up camp near the hillside outside the city. Fortunately, elemental mages can be in the city.
Guard the charge route of the Knights of Glory, otherwise the soldiers camped outside the city would have been eliminated by the Knights of Glory long ago.
Horn City is an acropolis built by the Xili Province to protect the capital. The city was built along the hills. The city wall, which is a hundred feet high, looks imposing and unattainable on the hills of more than 200 feet. The city
We have our own water source and sufficient reserves of food and grass, so we don’t have to worry about the enemy’s long-term siege. A road paved with gravel and winding along the hills is the only way to enter the city, and there are countless people who cannot enter the city.
Allied soldiers camped on the hillsides on both sides of the road.
Because the soldiers firmly believed that the closer they were to the city, their safety would be more guaranteed, so the entire hill was densely packed with coalition soldiers desperately trying to set up tents outside the city wall. Invisibly, these guys became a huge
Although their strength cannot compete with the Glory Knight, at the very least, the Glory Knight needs to spend a lot of effort to clear them out, and this time is enough for the mages on the city wall to use the most powerful magic.
Hart stood in front of the table in the Chinese army tent and shook his head helplessly: "General Gaddafi, do you mean to say that based on our strength, it is impossible to capture the Horn City?"
Gaddafi smiled helplessly, pointed at the map in front of the table, and sighed: "Yes, Mr. Hart, it is impossible for us to attack their city directly. They have too many mages, and the soldiers outside the city will
It will slow down the advancement of the Glory Knights, and the time wasted is enough for those damn mages to blast us into the sky."
After Jerry drew on the map for a while, he nodded and said: "Yes, there is no way, Lord Hart. Horn City is built on a hill, surrounded by steep slopes, and there is only one passage. If we attack by force,
If we do, we will suffer heavy casualties."
Lei looked at Hart and the others with some confusion. Couldn't these glorious knights with amazing strength not be able to attack the city? Lei had been defending the city in Turk Canyon for so long, so he knew to some extent that even with the little strength they had now,
In addition, the Knights of Glory cannot possibly conquer the main force of the coalition with an army of tens of thousands of mages.
Hart spread his hands and said frankly: "Then, I will listen to how you arrange it. We, the Knights of Glory, have been stationed in the 'City of God' for so many years, and it has always been those sinners expelled by the gods who come to attack our city.
, we only have defensive experience, we don’t have any experience in siege battles. Well, their criminals don’t have a city for us to attack.”
Rhine clenched his fist heavily, and suddenly a strong air flow blew through the entire tent. He whispered: "Hart, if thirteen of us rush over and use our strongest moves to blast through a section,
As for the city wall..."
Lant glanced at Rhine, shook his head and said: "Rhine, you are indeed a crazy fighting lion, but you have to think about it, there are so many magicians on their city."
Rhine frowned: "Are they as powerful as the Holy Magisters? You know, the supreme instructor of the Holy Magisters is just as powerful as us."
Hart stopped Rhine's next words, waved his hand and said: "Rhine, you can try the strength of those low-level magicians by yourself. Remember, come back to me safely, even if those little magicians use ban
The curse won't have much power, just be careful."
Rhine nodded and strode out holding his sword. Judging from the expression on his face, he was very happy to try out the magicians on the mainland.
Jerry looked at Rhine's back blankly and asked in shock: "Mr. Hart, are you going to let Mr. Rhine confront their magician brigade head-on? This is too dangerous..."
Rhine smiled: "It doesn't matter. There is no magician on the mainland who can kill Rhine when he is fully defending. It's good to make him look a little bit ugly, so as to save him from rushing out with his knights to attack the city wall. Well, Jay
General Rui, what do you think we should do now?"
Lei scratched his head and suddenly said: "If they refuse to leave the city, we won't be able to attack them, right?"
Jerry nodded: "It's not that there is no way to attack them, but we will lose a lot of people. You must know that any Glory Knight is very valuable to this continent. If we attack by force, I have budgeted, probably
Fifteen thousand to twenty thousand glorious knights will fall under the Horn City. This is a price we cannot pay. The empire cannot bear it, and this continent cannot bear it. Do you understand? Lei?"
Lei had no idea what kind of characters those so-called sinners were. Although he admired the powerful power of the Glory Knight, they seemed to be just ordinary human beings. How valuable were they? However, he still followed the rules.
My own thoughts put forward my own method: "If they refuse to leave the city, then it seems that we can only surround them and prevent them from escaping, right?"
Gaddafi laughed loudly, hammered the table hard, and said carelessly: "Lei finally became smart. We will rely on the power of the Knights of Glory to surround this city. We can wait for them to slowly
We will consume the food in Horn City until they finally faint from hunger and either surrender or leave the city for a decisive battle. Then we can teach these bastards a lesson."
Gaddafi was beaming as he spoke, very proud of his insights. He rarely proposed combat plans. Usually his subordinates would propose plans. He wielded a knife and charged into battle. How could he have such majesty and air as he does today?
Look, I, Lord Gaddafi, am not an idiot. I can also come up with a good battle plan.
Jerry nodded gently and said with a smile: "This is also the best choice. I plan to divide the Knights of Glory army into four legions, stationed in the southeast, northwest and four directions respectively. This way, even if the high-level mages among them rely on
It is impossible for the flying magic to escape. The remaining main forces of our Silver Wolf Legion, Violent Lion Legion, Mad Dragon Legion, Flying Phoenix Legion and Jaguar Legion, plus the private armies in those places, cooperate with the Glory Knights in one direction.
How about strangling the only way for their army to leave the city?"
Hart and others nodded slowly, and Jerry smiled: "So, let's do it like this?"
Lei tilted his head and suddenly muttered: "But Jerry, how long will it take for them to eat up all the food and grass in it? I heard what you said, Lord Greene of the Sili Province has reserved enough for 100,000 yuan in the city.
The army has been fed for ten years, and there are almost all cellars under the entire hill. There are about 600,000 people in the coalition army now, which is enough to feed them for more than a year. Do we only need to accompany them for one year?"
Jerry was stunned, but Hart and the others had already frowned. Sonn shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, we can't delay for a year. We must return to the 'City of God' as soon as possible. Hart, this long-term
The method of siege cannot be adopted, we must conquer this city as soon as possible."
Hart sighed and remained silent. If the Horn City is not conquered and the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops are allowed to stay in the territory of the Vant Empire, it will definitely be a serious problem. But if the city is conquered by force, it is not impossible.
, but if the casualties are too heavy, how will we have time to retrain a group of qualified Glory Knights if those criminals attack?
Lei carefully looked at the people present and whispered: "Everyone, if they refuse to come out, why can't we let them come out on their own initiative?"
Jerry was stunned, grabbed Lei with one hand, and asked: "Let them come out on their own initiative? How is it possible? They are relying on the Horn City to save their lives, and maybe they are planning to use the city to consume our strength. How could they come out from there?
Coming out of the city? On the flat ground, they will definitely not be able to withstand the impact of the Knights of Glory, then they will be doomed."
Lei licked his lips and whispered: "When I was hunting at home, I couldn't enter the caves of wild beasts casually. Because I didn't know the terrain, it was easy to be attacked by those big guys... But, I
You can burn trees and firewood, and use thick smoke to force them out. I have already prepared the ambush location, and opened my bow and arrows. As soon as that guy comes out, he will definitely be dead."
Gaddafi rolled his eyes as if he didn't understand, but Jerry's eyes lit up: "You mean, we create a situation where they have to leave the city and force them to leave the city, right? We can still
Set up an ambush at the most advantageous location for us and annihilate their main force at once?"
As soon as Ray nodded, Hart asked loudly: "So, how can we make them have to leave the city?"
Gaddafi heard clearly now. He grinned widely and laughed loudly: "Damn, just let it out that our Knights of Glory have directly attacked their own country's territory. Damn, I don't think they dare to
Huddled in the city? Haha, let’s let it out tomorrow, saying that the Knights of Glory are going to attack the Smart Empire.”
Hart quickly shook his head: "No, no, when we signed the "Peace Convention", it was stipulated that the garrison of the 'Sacred City' was strictly prohibited from entering the territory protected by other gods. This is our highest rule, and we cannot violate it... We.
..”
Jerry interrupted Hart: "Lord Hart, we don't really want you to attack other countries. If this is really the case, the Knights of Glory can sweep across the entire continent within a year. We have no intention of asking you to go.
Violating the "Peace Convention", we just want you to pretend that you are going to attack their empire, so they must rush out and fight us desperately."
Lei nodded repeatedly: "Jerry is right. If you really go to attack their empire territory, we will not be the opponent of those coalition forces rushing out. So Mr. Hart, you must stay here, otherwise you will still be here."
How to fight?"
Hart's and the others' expressions softened a bit. Just as Lant was about to speak, there was an earth-shattering roar outside. Judging from the sound, it came from the Horn City. Everyone looked at each other. The guy from Rhine had already taken action.
?Ray, Jerry, and Gaddafi are full of evil in their hearts. You frown at me and I wink at you. If this Rhine is killed by the other side's magician, then things will be very serious.
Ah. One of the thirteen high-ranking knights of the Knights of Glory, to put it bluntly, he is almost a legion commander. In contrast, Hart and the others are calm and composed, and they are very confident in Rhine's strength.
After a while, the sound of rapid footsteps came over. His face was dark, his cloak was blown to pieces, and there were a few marks on his armor. Rhine came back with a gloomy face, and angrily put his
After handing the sword to a big knight behind him, he sat down on a chair in the tent and muttered: "It turns out that it was very uncomfortable for hundreds of not-so-powerful magicians to hit me at the same time. I almost died.
I was stunned...Okay, I agree with you. If we attack forcefully, our subordinate knights will suffer heavy casualties, so we have no choice but to surround them."
With a smile on his face, Lant quickly explained the plan that everyone had just discussed.
Rhine opened his mouth wide, looked at Lei, and suddenly said: "Lei, you seem a bit stupid usually, but I didn't expect that you can come up with such an insidious plan now. If you can receive a good education, you will definitely
He will become a very good general."
Lei smiled a little shyly. He just slightly changed the method of hunting large beasts and just put it forward. How can he deserve such praise?
Jerry quickly circled in the tent, muttering: "Then, we have to see how to make the enemy believe that we really sent the Knights of Glory to attack them. At the same time, the target we attack must
He is a very important person in the coalition and accounts for a large part of the strength. Otherwise, they would not be fooled. Everyone, what do you think we should do?"
Gaddafi scratched his head, looked at Lei, then looked at Hart and the others. When he found that everyone was racking their brains, he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Lomat, you damn person"
Come here, kid, and give me an idea."
Soon, the staff officer of Gaddafi's Violent Lions, a young man with a somewhat evil and frivolous air on his face walked in. After he saluted respectfully to Hart and the others, he looked at them carelessly.
Gaddafi asked: "Old man, what do you want from me? Haven't we surrounded them now? Except that a strong attack may consume too many of our troops, and the Knights of Glory cannot afford to lose so many people. I don't think so."
Do you think we are in any big trouble?"
Everyone in the tent was dumbfounded. They had thought hard for a long time, and the plan that Lei had racked his brains to come up with was unexpectedly easily chosen by Lomat. Jerry rolled his eyes, doubting his own.
Come on IQ. When he was at the military academy in the imperial capital, Jerry's grades were pretty good, but compared to this Lomat, Jerry's brain seemed like a stone.
Gaddafi snorted: "You are right, we are in trouble now. Mr. Lei proposed to force them out, that is to say, use the Knights of Glory to pretend to attack their empire and force them out of the city to reinforce their country. In this way
We can set up an ambush trap and eat them. Now it's up to you to come up with an idea on how to make them believe that we are really going to attack them."
Lomat glanced at Lei, a look of surprise flashed through his eyes, and he immediately said: "This is too simple. Didn't we catch a Bobcat? We did some tricks on him to make him
After 'accidentally' overhearing our plan to attack the mainland of their empire, just let him escape...Then, the Knights of Glory sent a team to defeat an army that was coming for reinforcements, and let the remaining soldiers escape into Horn City.
.Well, of course we have to get out of the way of the road, otherwise those soldiers will have no way to enter the city."
Everyone listened to Lomat's words carefully, and no one said a word.
Lomat shrugged his shoulders: "Of course, before executing the plan, we must create some bluffing situations to make them think that we must be preparing to do something and make them suspicious. Then, we have to choose which empire will be destroyed.
We attack."
Jerry asked cautiously: "If we say we are going to attack the Smart Empire, is it feasible? The Smart Empire is the leader of the coalition this time."
Lomat shook his head: "Sir Jerry, you are a good commander of battles. I, Lomat, am ashamed to be the one who controls the army. But if you want to talk about conspiracy, I, Lomat, believe that there is no one in the empire."
Are you my opponent?...The Smart Empire is indeed the leader of the coalition, but if we attack the Smart Empire without warning, will their commander Carlin believe it?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, Lomat answered himself: "No, Carlin is a very treacherous guy. Our Vante Empire has suffered heavy losses this time, mostly because of his tricks. He will not believe it."
The Knights of Glory dare to risk breaking the Continental Convention and being attacked by all the divine city garrisons to attack other imperial territories. Therefore, we cannot choose the Smart Empire as a virtual target."
Jerry nodded and asked humbly: "So, who do you want to attack?"
Lomat pondered for a while, nodded and said: "In this coalition, apart from the Smart Empire, the Dark Empire dispatched the largest number of troops, and the nature of the Dark Empire people also determines their suspicion and unfeeling.
There is no overall view. They have enough strength to influence the decision-making of the coalition forces, so we can let it be known that the Knights of Glory are going to attack the territory of the Dark Empire."
Lei stared blankly at Lomat as he talked, with only one thought in his mind: "Old Gaddafi has such good people under his command. If I also had such good people, it would be easier to fight. But why didn't we let him go in the first place?
Is Lomat participating in our decision-making? Is it because he is an ordinary second-level silver knight and a small consultant?"
Lei Ke never thought that if he were not the de facto deputy commander of the Silver Wolf Legion, how would he be able to attend such a high-level meeting? He would be nothing more than a first-level Silver Knight.
Lomat smiled: "Yes, the Dark Empire... Of course, we can't just send people to tell the coalition forces that we are going to attack the territory of the Dark Empire. We must create momentum and let the coalition forces discover us on their own.
That’s how it is done, let me arrange everything, okay? I request that I be granted the authority to execute this plan.”
Lomat's back was straight and his face was radiant, completely different from the miserable young man he looked like just now.
Ray was the first to nod, followed by Hart, then Lant and the others, followed by Jerry, while Gaddafi finally hesitantly agreed to Lomat's request, and he was in front of so many people.
He warned Loma sternly: "Loma, I know your glorious history at the Imperial Military Academy. Hmm, I don't want you to cause trouble for me this time. Although you have made a lot of achievements in the past,
If you fail this time, or if your plan causes certain losses to the Knights of Glory, your father may be implicated by you, do you understand?"
Lomat said in a deep voice: "Sir, I am naturally confident that I can handle this matter well... As for my father, I will not let him be humiliated."
Gaddafi nodded slowly.
Lomat looked at Lei and issued the first order: "So, Mr. Lei, please lead a group of people to go outside to find out the movements of the coalition's reinforcements? I think they don't know that the coalition has been defeated by us.
, they are heading towards Xili Province with great interest, preparing to go to Turk Canyon for reinforcements... You attract them here... Well, thirty miles away from Horn City, there is a large hilly area.
Can you take them there?"
Luomat pointed at a small yellow area on the map. Lei looked at the map carefully and said: "It doesn't matter. I will take five thousand silver wolf cavalry and one thousand flying phoenix bows to ride out. I guarantee that they will chase them."
Kill me for coming here..."
Lomat laughed: "Then, that's it. According to my understanding of the nobles of the empire, after they sent the first batch of reinforcements, the next ones they sent must be the kind of local rubbish army used to occupy
They are from our northern province. They don’t have much fighting power. Master Lei, please don’t get angry and scatter them.”
Lei laughed heartily. Everyone in the tent also laughed. Only Lomatte looked at the map with a solemn face, his eyes began to wander...
