Although several messengers were sent out during this period, he also knew that it was unlikely that troops would arrive to relieve the siege in the short term.
The earthen walls rebuilt every night would become bare after a whole day of fierce fighting the next day. At the beginning of this war, nearly a thousand heavy shield warriors had to be filled in with their lives every day in order to defend this wall.
A temporary camp.
After a few days of adaptation, the current shield warrior has mastered the basics of fighting against the evil ghost warrior.
The daily battle loss rate has also continued to decrease. Today, only a few hundred infantry soldiers are killed every day.
Every time at dusk, when the soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Marquis Heller's heart was extremely heavy, because if he could not wait for reinforcements, the battle would be destined to be a dead end, and all the infantry soldiers might die here.
The construction of the city is many times slower than Marquis Heller's plan, and the current camp is still behind the earthen platform.
As for the earth wall, if it is rebuilt every night, it will be trampled down by those evil spirits the next day.
In fact, Marquis Valentin Heller really wanted to know how the Western Route Army built the city during the battle with the Moyunling Evil Ghost Army. It seemed such a simple thing, but when the reinforcements arrived at Handanar City
, it made a mess.
Moreover, the location of the reinforcements this time is still in the deepest part of the Moyunling Highlands, which can indeed radiate to the entire northwest area of the Moyunling Highlands. If the reinforcements from Handanar City can gain a foothold here, then this territory will be
Become the possession of the noble lords of Handanar City.
Marquis Valentin Heller knew very well that the reinforcements could not last long in this state.
He hadn't shaved for nearly a week. He was sitting in the commander's tent with a look of decadence on his face. Countless lines were drawn on the map on the table. Each line seemed to represent a plan of action. Unfortunately, there was no one.
A line can be connected to the south exit of Moyun Ridge.
All the options he could think of didn't work.
There are only 70,000 heavy armored infantry soldiers and hundreds of thousands of war horses. These are all the private property of the noble lords of Handanar City. If all the lords' troops among Marquis Heller are buried in the northern tundra this time, that means
He will offend all the nobles in Handanar.
A glass of fruit wine tasted bitter in his mouth. He turned the wine glass in his hand and closed his bloodshot eyes. He leaned on the chair and felt a little dizzy. As soon as he closed his eyes, mountains and plains appeared in front of him.
Evil ghost.
"Lord Marquis! The scouts we sent to the northern region are back!" A personal guard whispered in Marquis Heller's ear.
Marquis Heller opened his eyes and looked around suspiciously. After making sure that the words he heard were not his hallucinations, he sat up straight.
At this time, two scouts were waiting at the entrance of the tent.
When they both walked in, "How is the situation in the northernmost part of Moyun Ridge?" Marquis Heller asked urgently.
One of the scouts stood up and answered: "There is indeed a North Pass in the Moyunling Highlands."
Marquis Heller then asked: "Where?"
The scout glanced at the messy map, reached out and pointed accurately to the north and east of the map, and said:
"Here, however, it is not the evil ghost army currently stationed there, but an army of local indigenous tribes who have occupied the mountain pass, and even... built a sixty-meter-high wall on the north mountain pass... and their army is
It is so large that even with siege equipment, it is impossible to conquer this city wall."
The hope in Marquis Heller's eyes was extinguished in half instantly, but he still asked without giving up:
"Are you sure it's not an army from the Western Route Army?"
The scout said with great certainty: "It is certain that everyone is aboriginal from the local tribe. In order to confirm this information, we even walked under the city wall. Those aboriginal warriors did not seem to have any ill intentions towards us... To be precise,
They are very friendly and even stood on the city wall to greet us in indigenous languages.”
Hearing what the scout said, Marquis Heller's eyes lit up again and he loudly ordered:
"Hurry and prepare the war horses. This time I must go and meet the leader of this indigenous army in person!"
…
When Marquis Heller rushed out of the camp on horseback, he had an extremely bold idea in his mind. If this thing could succeed, the situation of the Handanar City reinforcements in the Moyunling Highlands might be completely reversed.
He did not expect that there would be such an army composed of local aborigines in the northern area of Moyun Ridge.
He had lived in the Warsaw plane for nearly ten years, but he had never heard of such a powerful aboriginal tribe in the northern part of Handanar County.
A city wall can actually be built on Moyun Ridge...
Marquis Heller drank a bottle of spiritual power potion and quickly cheered himself up. He did not intend to rest at this time. Now the army of the Aegrod tribe was a life-saving straw for the reinforcements of Handanar City. He had to ignore it.
Just grab everything with all your strength.
So he didn't want to wait for a moment. After hearing the news that the indigenous tribal army was not hostile to the imperial army, he immediately rushed towards the northern pass of Moyun Ridge.
The northern tundra is about three hundred kilometers away from Beishan Pass. When Marquis Heller rode all the way to Beishan Pass, it was already night.
The evil ghosts in Kornberg County all like to fight at night, but the evil ghosts in the highlands strictly insist on finishing work at night. Never fighting at night is the most distinctive feature of the Moyunling evil ghosts. Although the evil ghosts
His behavior is a bit strange, but it undoubtedly saves Marquis Heller from worrying about surprise attacks by evil spirits at night.
The night sky in Moyunling is full of stars.
The continuous snow-capped mountains in the distance have long since turned into black shadows and merged into the endless night. If it weren't for a row of torches on the city wall, Marquis Heller might not have been able to see the city wall built at the mountain pass.
Just as the scout said, the city wall here is almost as high as the city wall of Bena.
At this altitude, the only way for the Imperial Legion to breach the city wall was to build huge siege engines.
The group of people came to the bottom of the city wall, and the four guards carefully held up the knight's light shield and rode at the front, blocking Marquis Heller tightly behind them.
When the aboriginal warriors on the city wall saw the group of people below the city, they uttered a series of confusing aboriginal words at the top of the city.
The language barrier may be the biggest problem now. Just when Marquis Heller was scratching his head, he didn't expect that the gate under the city wall was actually opened. The aboriginal warrior guarding the gate was still waving vigorously to signal them to hurry up.
Go in.
Marquis Heller was filled with doubts. When did the local aborigines become so friendly to the imperial knights?
However, since the purpose of coming here is to have a good talk with the aboriginal leaders here, even if the trip is a bit dangerous, Marquis Heller can only bravely ride in at this time.
When passing through the city gate, several of the guards around Marquis Heller made a gesture, grabbed a handful of silver coins and threw them to the aboriginal guards at the city gate.
Unexpectedly, the guards reacted quickly. Holding a blue iris shield, they caught all the silver coins. Then they looked at the silver coins in the shield and said "Ula wow" again, seeming to be concerned about these.
Yin Yan'er wasn't too interested.
The aboriginal guard thought for a moment, then pulled out a wolf tooth from his necklace and threw it to the guard.
Then he spoke a bunch of Aboriginal words. Although the guards couldn't understand what the Aboriginal guards were talking about, they could tell from his expression that they were not interested in those silver coins. It seemed that they would talk about the exchange next time.
, just bring out something else.
…
Every night is the best time to recuperate for the Western Route Army stationed on the high hills in the southern part of the Villagasi Hills.
At this time, the infantry soldiers who had received sufficient rest during the day would carry pieces of shale to the top of the city, and the city wall to the north of the stronghold would be raised every night.
After a day of fierce fighting, the infantry soldiers after dinner would take stock of their achievements during the day.
Although this kind of city defense battle is a bit boring, for the soldiers defending the city, the achievements they obtain are extremely stable and rich.
The evil ghosts rushed up from under the city wall desperately, unable to break through the shield wall of the shield warriors at the top of the city. The spear warriors behind would even work together to stab the evil ghost warriors down.
Dinner is chestnut rice porridge and meat pie. This kind of food with a rich Helensa flavor is eaten every few days. For the infantry soldiers, this is definitely the taste of their hometown, and everyone knows that Sur
Commander Dark's hometown is in Helensa, and it is like an honor to be able to eat this delicious food.
Although the daily battles are fierce and cruel, the morale of the infantry soldiers of the West Route Army is high.
"After this battle, what do you want to do? Will you continue to follow the Lord to fight in other planes?" An infantry soldier lying outside the tent looking at the stars in the sky asked his companions.
He was rubbing a bright gold coin on his linen shirt. He had polished the gold coin until it was shiny, but he had not stopped yet.
It seems that doing this has become a habit when chatting.
"Go home! After fighting this plane war, I plan to go home. I have saved a little money in the past few years. When I go home, I will marry two more wives and rent an oak forest. The golden and silver oak tree of Helensa
If Guo is very famous, I also know how to make barrels..."
Another older veteran said in a hoarse voice.
There was a burst of chaotic footsteps, and the infantry soldiers under the nearby tent stood up one after another.
The two infantry soldiers also stood up quickly and looked towards the place where the footsteps sounded. They saw Commander Suldak hurried past with a few followers, and the infantry soldiers under the tents on both sides saluted.
Commander Surdak hurried over, but his kind voice remained:
"After a day of fighting, everyone should have a good rest..."
The two veterans peered at Commander Surdak's back.
"Where is our lord going?"
The older veteran replied matter-of-factly:
"Where else can we go? At this time, it is natural to go to the medical tent. There are many seriously injured soldiers there waiting for his treatment!"
