The building that Shangguan Yuanrang pointed to is very huge. It looks like a mountain of earth at a cold glance, but it is made artificially. The base is in the shape of a disc, about three or four meters high, and there is a slightly smaller disc on top.
It is still three or four meters high, and then there are smaller disks, still three or four meters high. The disks range from large to small, with a total of five layers. The surface is green and lush, as if it is covered with flowers and plants.
Following his finger, Kevin Depardieu turned his head and glanced, then smiled slightly and said: "That is Brianna's garden, but now it has been planted with crops."
Garden? It's hard for Shangguan Yuanrang to understand. The lower disk is okay, it's only three or four meters high, and it's easy to water. But the top disk is nearly 20 meters high. If people lift water up every day, how much will it consume?
Manpower? He shook his head, smiled, and said casually: "Isn't it difficult to water such a high garden?"
Kevin Depardieu laughed: "You can't see it here, but there is actually a water wheel behind Brianna Garden, which can divert the river water from under the garden to the top of the garden."
"Oh!" Shangguan Yuanrang nodded in understanding, not quite understanding what a waterwheel was. In Feng Country, there was no such thing as a waterwheel.
He moved his eyes and looked at the tall building in the distance on the other side. It was a man-made miracle that was taller and more spectacular than Brianna's Garden. The total height was nearly ten feet, and the whole was trapezoidal. On one side of the building there was a line that went straight from the bottom to the top.
The long staircase, the majestic and solemn building at the top, stands majestic in the sky, giving people a strong sense of shock.
Shangguan Yuanrang didn't want to look like someone who had never seen the world, so he kept asking questions, but he couldn't help it. He stretched out his finger and asked, "What is that thing?"
Seeing what he was pointing at, Kevin Depardieu's face suddenly straightened up and he said: "That is the Temple of the Sun." After saying that, he immediately added: "The Sun God is also the first god respected by Tia.
!”
"Ah, that's right." Shangguan Yuanrang nodded again and asked no more questions, but his eyes did not move away for a long time.
For Shangguan Yuanrang, everything in Tia City felt very novel and incredible to him. Whether it was Brianna Garden or the ten-foot-tall Sun Temple, these buildings were beyond the scope of his imagination, and they were beyond his imagination.
It is impossible to understand how they were built in the first place.
Tia's technology is indeed far ahead of the Feng Kingdom. Now he can understand to some extent why the king spent so much effort and took such big risks to help Tia and fight against Du Ji. If such a country cannot be conquered by himself,
If the country absorbs it, it must be destroyed as soon as possible.
There are many incredible buildings in Tia City, but the size of the palace is very average, not even a castle. It is somewhat similar to the palace of Feng Kingdom, but the area is several times smaller, and it is located in the center of a garden.
Accompanied by many Tiya ministers, Shangguan Yuanrang entered the palace and met the Tiya King Gerald Hardesti in the meeting hall of the palace.
Jellal is a young king. He is about the same age as Tang Yin. He looks like he is under thirty. He is of medium build, fair skin, and handsome. His clothes are not gorgeous, but he is very elegant. He has a golden ring on his head.
of crown.
Both of them had a good first impression of each other. After a brief exchange of greetings, Jellal first asked: "General Shangguan, I wonder where the reinforcements from the Feng Kingdom to reinforce Tia are now?"
Shangguan Yuanrang said: "It's near Val Town."
When Jellal heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. This was undoubtedly good news for Tia City. After all, Val Town was not far from Tia City. He asked again: "Then... how many reinforcements does your country have?
Only 100,000 people? Jellal was a little disappointed with this answer. After all, the total strength of the Duki Army in Tia has reached 200,000, while the Feng Kingdom only sent 100,000 troops. It’s hard to say whether they can win! See him.
He looked worried and did not speak immediately. Shangguan Yuanrang immediately sensed his concerns. He smiled proudly and said: "Your Majesty the King, although our country only sends 100,000 troops, it is our country's elite Sanshui Army. The officers and men
, each with one on top of ten, our army fought from the border all the way to Val Town, with overwhelming momentum, and attacked several cities in a row. Du Ji's army was retreating steadily, which can be seen from this."
Kevin Depardieu nodded aside. The Sanshui Army is indeed an elite army in the Feng Kingdom. If the Feng Kingdom really sends the Sanshui Army for reinforcements, it can also be seen that the Feng Kingdom attaches great importance to this battle.
degree.
Jellal didn't know much about the military strength and structure of the Feng Kingdom, but seeing Kevin Depardieu nodding, he guessed that Shangguan Yuanrang was not just boasting when he said this. He pondered for a moment and asked: "Since your army has attacked Val
Town, then why did General Shangguan break into the Duji Company camp alone and come to Tia City?"
Shangguan Yuanrang took a breath and said: "I came here this time for two main purposes. One is to understand the military strength in Tia City, and the other is to unite with the Tia army to defeat Duji's army outside the city."
As soon as these words came out, the spirits of the ministers present, including Gerald, were lifted up. They had been defending the city for two years and finally waited until the siege was broken.
Kevin Depardieu first looked at the king, and then said to Shangguan Yuanrang: "I still have 25,000 troops in the city."
Shangguan Yuanrang raised his eyebrows. In the huge city of Tia, there are only 25,000 troops left? He laughed, his tone revealing dissatisfaction, and said: "General Depardieu, our army is yours."
Allies, not enemies. What I want to hear now is the truth. If you still have reservations at this time, you will be the one who suffers in the end!"
Kevin Depardieu said hurriedly: "General Shangguan misunderstood. There are indeed only 25,000 combatable troops left in the city, including 3,000 lightly wounded soldiers. In addition, our army
There is insufficient food, grass and medicine..."
Judging from his anxious look, it didn't look like he was lying, and there was no need for him to lie to himself. Shangguan Yuanrang was speechless for a moment. When he left his army, Liang Qi repeatedly told him that only those in Tia City
Only when the combat strength reaches 30% of the combat strength of one's own army can it be feasible to cooperate with the inside and the outside. Originally, he thought that the capital of Tia, the huge city of Tia, must have at least 50,000 to 60,000 defenders. Who would have thought that?
There are only 25,000 people, and 3,000 of them are wounded. How can this reach 30% of the combat strength of the Sanshui Army?
Shangguan Yuanrang frowned and said nothing. Everyone in the hall was anxious. Jellal was about to ask a question when a middle-aged man headed by the ministers took a step forward and asked: "General Shangguan, what do you think about the number of troops in my city?"
Too little?"
The person who spoke was the first assistant minister of Tia, Rhys Ifans, and one of the real people in power in Tia. In Tia, apart from the king, the two most powerful people were one of them, the high priest.
Jennifer Harkes, and the second is the Chief Assistant Minister, Rhys Ifans.
As for Kevin Depardieu, although he is the commander of the national army, he is temporary. Only in the event of a war, Tia has the position of commander of the entire army, and is directly appointed by the king, and
The candidates appointed each time are not necessarily consistent. During peacetime, Tia does not have this official position.
Shangguan Yuanrang, who was frowning and thinking, nodded and murmured: "The troops are indeed a little short." Then, he casually asked: "I wonder what the combat strength of the two thousand people in your country is?"
There are only so many troops in the city of Tia. It cannot be exaggerated even if you want to. But when Shangguan Yuanrang asked about the combat power of the army, Kevin Depardieu was very confident about this. He patted his chest and said: "
Although our army only has 25,000 men left, it can keep more than 100,000 enemy troops away from the city, so its combat power is certainly not a problem."
Shangguan Yuanrang glanced at him. Defending a city has the advantage of geographical location. Even if more than 20,000 people are used to defend a small city, it would be difficult for 100,000 people to attack it. Moreover, the walls of Tia City are high and strong.
There is also a moat, which can protect more than 100,000 people from more than 20,000 people. It is not a place to show off.
He pondered for another moment, shook his head and said, "How about the combat power? I can't say anything about it. I wonder if General Depardieu would be willing to take me to the military camp to have a look."
"This..." Kevin Depardieu did not answer immediately, but raised his eyes to look at King Gerard.
Shangguan Yuanrang said: "Since this battle requires internal and external cooperation, we must defeat the enemy at once, otherwise Tia City will be very dangerous. Therefore, I must understand clearly the combat effectiveness of the troops in Tia City."
Even Jellal, a military layman, could tell that what Shangguan Yuanrang said was reasonable. He nodded and said, "Since General Shangguan proposed it, let's take General Shangguan to our military camp to have a look!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" After receiving the king's approval, Kevin Depardieu bowed and responded.
Shangguan Yuanrang did not come here to chat with the King of Tia and the ministers of the court. He did not delay much in the palace, and did not even eat the refreshments served by the attendants, so he went to Tia Army with Kevin Depardieu.
Military camp, I want to personally verify the combat power of Ti Ya's army.
The military camps of the Tia Army are divided into five parts, four of which are near the four city gates in the southeast and northwest, and the other military camp is near the palace. I think the military camps near the palace must be the elite of the Tia Army, and do not represent the real combat power of the Tia Army.
, Shangguan Yuan asked to go to the military camp near the South City Gate to have a look.
Kevin Depardieu had no objection and took him there. When they arrived at the Nancheng military camp, Kevin wanted to gather all the soldiers in the battalion and let Shangguan Yuanrang have a good look, but he was stopped by the latter. He said with a smile: "
No need to bother, I kept talking, he looked around, and then strolled towards a barracks not far from him.
As he walked, he put the helmet he was holding on his head, put down his face shield, then took out the sword from his waist, and asked Kevin Depardieu: "General Depardieu, the Duke of
How do you shout to kill?"
Kevin Depardieu didn't understand what he was going to do, but he still whispered a few words in Duki language. Shangguan Yuanrang knocked on his helmet and muttered: "That's right, when we fought with the Bessans,
That's what they call them. I forgot for a moment that the Besans and the Dukis speak the same language." As he spoke, he had already walked to the door of the camp.
