Just when Liu Xing and Ding Kun were about to leave, Wellington suddenly said: "By the way, after our army arrives at the city in two days, I will arrange for you to go to the front line to persuade you to surrender, but you only need to go through a formality.
Okay, after all, everyone knows that it is impossible to persuade you to surrender, but if you Liu Xing don’t persuade you to surrender, then someone will definitely ridicule you."
Liu Xing and Ding Kun nodded, and then left directly.
Back at their camp, after making sure that Rodriguez was not spying on them, Liu Xing and Ding Kun had dinner and chatted in front of a fire.
"Liu Xing, what do you think? Should we find an opportunity to escape early?" Ding Kun said with some melancholy.
Liu Xing sighed and said helplessly: "Escape? Where can we escape now? Anyway, I don't know anything about the Skaven Kingdom. If we escape early, we may starve to death on this great plain.
But if we don't run away, Louis may really let his follower work against us, and if Chen Zixuan knows about this matter, he will probably choose to let it go... Of course, if he stands in the interest of the empire,
From his perspective, Chen Zixuan will most likely choose to sacrifice us."
"Yes." Ding Kun also sighed and said: "Judging from the current situation, we are likely to have become lambs to be slaughtered. There are tens of thousands of butchers around us who are eyeing us, and we want to leave early.
It is really too difficult, and even if we really leave the army, this will actually give those guys some benefits, because they can better destroy the corpses and eliminate traces, and then use the name of "missing" to dismiss our deaths, but
Comparatively speaking, I think Yin En and Zhang Wenbing are more likely to encounter assassinations than us, because the commander of the army of Zhang Wenbing and Yin En is Bonaparte, and Louis can also use this to accuse Bonaparte.
."
"But the lords and middle-level and high-level generals in Bonaparte's army should all be Bonaparte's people. It would not be easy for Louis to send people to assassinate Yin En and Zhang Wenbing, and if the assassins were caught alive by Bonaparte,
If so, then Bonaparte is likely to use this to seek help from the empire, and then launch an uprising in advance, so our operational space will be larger, but according to the consistent style of the Cthulhu Run Game Hall
, I think Louis is very likely to come and attack both of us and Yin En at the same time." Liu Xing shook his head and said.
Ding Kun nodded and said: "It is indeed possible, but it is also possible that kp rolls the dice to decide where Louis will attack us, or kp rolls the dice to decide whether Louis will attack us...
All in all, it depends on our luck. If we have bad luck, I'm afraid we will have to explain it here."
Liu Xing thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I still want to die here and end this module like this, because I really don't want to sit outside Bolin City for a year and a half.
It was just too difficult to get through.”
"Liu Xing, you are right. Now I have begun to regret why I couldn't think of clicking to start the game and then being transported to such a weird module. I doubt if we really stayed in this module for more than two days.
In three years, we will be out of touch with the real world after we leave this module, because we may get used to our current life by then." Ding Kun said looking into the distance.
Liu Xing nodded silently, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Because in Liu Xing's view, Ding Kun's conjecture is likely to become a reality, because there is a saying that goes well - humans are highly adaptable animals, which can also be understood in disguise as humans are an easily
Creatures that are changed by the environment, but change always requires a process, especially switching between two environments with huge differences.
The gap between medieval Europe and modern society is self-evident.
Therefore, Liu Xing knew that if he really got used to life in this world, it would probably take him some time to return to normal after leaving the module and returning to the real world.
This made Liu Xing feel a little worried.
At this time, Ding Kun continued: "I once heard a friend of mine say that he once had a teammate who participated in a module that is very similar to ours now. To put it simply, a group of players were sent their souls by Yisi people.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, players then needed to choose one of the princes to complete the unification. As a result, it took this group of players a full forty years to complete the task, so those players seemed to be a different person after returning to the real world. After all,
They have experienced a whole new life in the module.”
The corner of Liu Xing's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but think of the protagonists of some soul-traveling novels that Wu Lei once complained about. After traveling to another world or ancient times, it didn't take long to smoothly integrate into the local life.
Liu Xing also replied to Wu Lei at the time, saying that the protagonists in time-travel novels might have the memories of their original bodies, but Wu Lei just rolled his eyes at Liu Xing and said "Haha".
Thinking about it now, Liu Xing began to wonder if Wu Lei had experienced such a module before.
"Now we can only take one step at a time. If we really encounter an assassin by then, we can only resign ourselves to fate." Ding Kun put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands, "Fortunately, this is Zhang Jingxu's dream, so we
You can also use familiar dishes and chopsticks.”
Liu Xing nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm really not used to using knives and forks anyway, so I basically haven't been to any Western restaurants since I finished college."
"That's because you don't have a girlfriend." Ding Kun said with a smile.
It hurts...
Liu Xing sighed and couldn't help but think of Tian Qing.
Because in Liu Xing's memory, the only time he went to a Western restaurant was on his first birthday after dating Tian Qing.
Seeing Liu Xing's sudden depression, Ding Kun said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I seem to have said something I shouldn't have said."
Liu Xing came back to his senses, shook his head and said: "It's okay, it's okay, I just suddenly remembered something."
At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere was already a little awkward, so Liu Xing and Ding Kun ended the conversation with a tacit understanding and went directly back to their respective small tents to rest.
Three days later, the army finally arrived at Bolin City.
During these three days, the rebels continued to send cavalry to harass, but Wellington, who was well prepared, easily annihilated the rebel cavalry, so the morale of the army is pretty good now, and everyone
They all feel that the rebels only have quantity, not quality.
But the thing Liu Xing least wanted to see happened.
According to the scouts' reports, the rebels only arranged 10,000 soldiers to garrison in the fortifications outside the city, and the remaining 40,000 soldiers directly retreated to Bolin City.
More importantly, the rebels were not idle during this period. They built another ten-meter-high wall outside Bolin City. You must know that even the capital of the Kingdom of Skaven, Mud City, has a wall height of
It's less than six meters.
Liu Xing still remembered that he had read some popular science about ancient city walls in a historical novel at some point. It was mentioned in it that the height of the walls of many famous cities was only about three meters. The height of the walls of ancient capitals like Chang'an and Luoyang, which had many dynasties, was also about three meters.
It's only about six meters high. Only important passes like Shanhaiguan can have city walls about ten meters high.
Of course, everything has exceptions. For example, Jinling in the Ming Dynasty had a twelve-meter-high city wall.
But back to the topic, because the army lacked suitable siege weapons, Wellington, who was disappointed when looking at the city, could only summon men again to discuss how to break the city.
The result is naturally two words - siege.
If there is no way to attack the city, then the only option is to besiege the city.
Although both Liu Xing and Ding Kun wanted to suggest to Wellington to make simple siege weapons such as ladders, Liu Xing and Ding Kun gave up the idea when they thought that their own soldiers were 20,000 fewer than the enemy.
, because simple siege weapons like ladders are only suitable for use when the siege party has a big advantage, otherwise it would be in vain for soldiers to use ladders to climb the city.
So Liu Xing and Ding Kun pretended to persuade them to surrender at the foot of Bolin City, and then retreated in embarrassment under the rain of arrows from the rebels.
By the way, this attempt to persuade the rebels to surrender did not trigger any judgment, which means that it is impossible to persuade the rebels to surrender.
So Liu Xing and Ding Kun gave up the idea of trying to persuade them to surrender again.
In this way, the two sides faced off for a whole month.
During this month, although there were constant skirmishes between the two sides, not a decent battle took place because one side could not find a chance to attack, and the other side had no intention of attacking at all.
As for the situation of the other two armies, the situation was not that good. Zhang Jingxu also began to surround Luziya City, and the Plague Clan in Luziya City used a trick to empty the city, directly opening the city gates, and adding a few lines on the city wall.
No defenses were deployed.
But everyone knows very well that the Plague Clan has simply abandoned the city wall and wants to engage in the street fighting they are best at with the coalition forces.
Although Louis had made many wrong choices before, this time Louis was not stupid enough to send people to directly attack the city, so the two sides began to confront each other.
On Yin En and Zhang Wenbing's side, after recapturing several small villages, they also encountered stubborn resistance from several towns and refused to surrender to the coalition forces. Therefore, Bonaparte could only divide his troops to surround these towns.
It is impossible to capture these towns in a short period of time, unless he is willing to pay huge casualties to attack the city by force.
Of course Bonaparte would not do this, because Bonaparte also knew that after this war was over, it would be the best time for him to regain the throne of the Skaven Kingdom, so Bonaparte needed to preserve his own strength, so Bonaparte
They chose to besiege rather than attack, hoping to defeat the enemy without fighting.
Anyway, Louis provides food, grass and other supplies, and now is the perfect opportunity to consume Louis' family wealth.
As a result, all three armies started siege mode.
However, during this period, Zhang Jingxu also asked Gugu to bring a letter to Liu Xing and others, asking Liu Xing and others to pay attention to their safety, because Zhang Jingxu also heard that someone wanted to do harm to Liu Xing and others.
After watching Gugu fly in the direction of Yin En and Zhang Wenbing, Liu Xing looked at a hill in the distance and said, "I used to think those jokes were a bit exaggerated, but now I realize that the imagination of those jokers is not enough.
"
Ding Kun nodded and said: "After all, we have 30,000 horses here, and the amount of excrement produced every day is not a small amount, and there are only a few rivers nearby, and we have to get water from those rivers.
So the excrement could only find a place to pile it up, but to be honest, I didn’t expect it to pile up so quickly and so high.”
Yes, that hill is a veritable mountain of dung.
At this moment, Liu Xing suddenly thought of something, "By the way, Brother Ding, I remember that in ancient times, in order to eliminate the wall advantage of the defenders, the most common thing they did was to stand beside the city wall.
Build a mountain of earth, and when the height of the mountain is higher than the city wall, the attacking archers can suppress the defenders on the wall."
Ding Kun raised his brows and said with a smile: "Yes, this is indeed a good idea. Anyway, these 30,000 troops are idle when they are idle. They might as well build a mountain of earth."
After reaching a consensus, Liu Xing and Ding Kun ran directly to Wellington and expressed their idea of building a mountain of earth.
Wellington slapped his thigh and said happily: "Yes, as long as we can build a ten-meter-high earth mountain, we can directly suppress the city wall of Bolin City, and then we can send troops to climb the city wall!"
Wellington was also a man of action. He immediately mounted Liu Xing and Ding Kun and left the camp with a group of his own soldiers, preparing to circle around Bolin City to determine where to build a mountain of earth.
However, Liu Xing and others had not been around for long when they saw a group of rebel cavalry leaving the fortifications and heading towards them.
Wellington frowned and immediately ordered his soldiers to enter combat mode, while Liu Xing and Ding Kun took two steps back consciously, because although Liu Xing and Ding Kun were both able to ride horses now, if
In a horse fight, Liu Xing and Ding Kun are still the fifth scum.
Soon, the rebel cavalry stopped a hundred meters away and confronted Liu Xing and others in the air. Both sides refused to give an inch.
Although the number of rebel cavalry in this group was three to four times greater than that in Liu Xing's side, Liu Xing's side were all Wellington's soldiers, and their personal qualities and equipment completely overwhelmed this group of rebel cavalry.
Therefore, the leader of this group of rebel cavalry did not dare to launch an attack at will.
Just when Liu Xing was about to suggest to Wellington to take a step back in order to avoid being accidentally injured, the leader of the rebel cavalry suddenly broke away from the main force with a few close followers.
When the leader of the rebel cavalry approached, Liu Xing discovered that the leader of the rebel cavalry was actually a woman.
More importantly, she looks exactly the same as Tian Qing!
