Qin Feng marched day and night, and led his army to the city wall of Huangyu Town on the morning of the next day.
Spy Zhang Ming, who had infiltrated the royal capital, sent news that Charlie, who claimed to be of royal blood, had almost completely purged the nobles in the city, and would soon send troops to conquer Yellow Fish Town and Shell Crab Town to the east.
Once Huangyu Town falls to the royal family, Qin Feng's troops will suffer more losses when attacking Huangyu Town in the future.
First of all, the strength of Huangyu Town, which has been supported by the royal family, will be greatly increased. Attacking this town will cause heavy casualties to Ming soldiers. Secondly, the royal family will definitely send troops to assist, which will increase the pressure faced by Ming soldiers.
When they arrived at the gates of Huangyu Town, all the soldiers were very tired, especially the soldiers from Bainiao Town who came under duress and complained. But surrounded by 6,000 Ming soldiers, even if they had any resentment, they could only bury it in their hearts.
Looking back at the status of all the soldiers in a circle, Qin Feng found that even though the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were very tired, they still had the will to continue fighting. On the other hand, the soldiers of Bainiao Town were already lying or sitting on the ground, soundlessly sleeping, completely lost.
Combat capability.
At this time, Taoist priest Liu Yun rode from the team and came to Qin Feng's side, "Captain, Zhang Ming just sent news that the royal family's 1,000 hurricane knights are not in the city. They are suspected to have left the city the night before yesterday. The target is likely to be yellow croaker
town."
"The night before yesterday? The news from Zhang Ming came a little late?" Qin Feng frowned.
"Commander, Zhang Ming has only been in the capital for a few days. The intelligence organization has not yet been established, and the information that can be obtained is really limited." Taoist Liu Yun continued: "The capital has implemented military-style controls, and people entering and exiting have been strictly checked. We
It would be difficult for other spies and assassins to blend in..."
"Well, let Zhang Ming continue to work hard, but he must be more careful. His life safety is more important." Qin Feng nodded gently to express his understanding.
"Summon the Black Eagle and see where the Hurricane Knights from the Royal Capital are. We have to be prepared to avoid being attacked..."
"Yes, Governor..." Taoist priest Liuyun went down to make arrangements, and soon three black eagles flew up from the formation, soaring upwards and flying in all directions.
"Order, everyone take a rest..." Qin Feng ordered to [Raider] Abel on the other side.
"Yes, Governor..." [Ruishi] Abel gave an awkward hat-lifting salute.
Abel retreated to the army and delivered the order loudly. After a while, the soldiers put down their weapons and sat on the ground to rest, gathering strength for the possible battle that would follow.
Since there are no Ming generals in hand, Abel, who has excellent military talents, serves as Qin Feng's current deputy.
At this time, the city walls of Huangyu Town were covered with a large number of soldiers, and five officers who could decide the fate of Huangyu Town gathered on the city tower.
For example, the walls of towns are not high, basically between five and seven meters, but it is still no problem to see most of the troops in front of them without any visual obstruction.
"This is Baron Mouse Mountain's army? I only need 400 men to defeat them all, I guarantee..." The grumpy officer looked at the lazy-looking army under the city with disdain.
"Andre, you can go down and give it a try. If you defeat Baron Mouse Mountain's army, the royal family will definitely award you a title." The officer who was labeled as "sinister" smiled and encouraged.
"Yarlin, why don't you give it a try? I believe you can also defeat Baron Mouse Mountain. Then I can send troops to follow you and take advantage..." The fiery officer Andre directly instigated the insidious Ya Erlin in the opposite direction.
erlin.
"I don't think you want to take advantage of it, but you want to poke fun at Yaerlin..." the officer who was formerly known as "the useless one" joked lazily.
"What? To stab someone else's flower? I didn't have that idea, Karl, what I thought was to stab everyone's flower, haha..." The fiery officer Andre didn't care about offending everyone now, since he was about to be beaten again anyway.
After being incorporated, everyone will be colleagues again, whether it is Baron Mouse Mountain's side or Charlie's side.
"I would rather follow the army below than fight for the royal family who killed Baron Yellow Fish." Officer Tabor, who was regarded as a symbol of justice, had a determined look on his face.
"That's enough, stop arguing, the other party's envoy is here..." The old knight Bart pointed to the bottom of the city.
Two men on war horses ran over. The one in the front was the palace steward Will, and the one behind was a scout cavalry carrying a blue flag.
After negotiations in White Bird Town, the steward Will intercepted the 'Wooden Stick' many times. After many 'friendly' exchanges, the two sides finally borrowed a cavalryman from the 'Wooden Stick'.
Will, the clerk, came to the city wall and shouted: "The false king killed the king of the Kingdom of Paya and many nobles, and Baron Yellow Fish was also persecuted. Baron Rat Mountain was awarded a title by Doug Tier XIII, so it is reasonable to
We should shoulder the responsibility of stabilizing the Kingdom of Paya. Today, the army of Baron Rat Mountain is coming. Officers of Yellow Fish Town, will you follow Baron Rat Mountain to defeat the false king and avenge your Baron Yellow Fish?"
"Are you really willing to go to war with the false king until death..." the impartial officer Tabor was the first to ask.
"Of course..." Affairs Officer Will returned without hesitation.
"What evidence is there to prove it?" the impartial officer Tabor then said: "How can we believe that you will fight against the false king, and how can we believe that you will not become the pawn of the false king in the future?"
The clerk Will blinked, who can say for sure what will happen in the future? It is not impossible for Baron Mouse Mountain to surrender first if the war goes against him.
Or the Kingdom of Paya splits, and each of them establishes a small country, each of which is its own king. If the water in the well does not interfere with the river, there may not be a war in the future. This situation is also possible.
So he asked: "How do you want us to prove it?"
"The false king's envoys will arrive soon. If you send people to intercept and kill them, I will believe you." Tabor, the impartial officer, pointed to the east and said.
"This is easy to handle. We will send people to intercept and kill them immediately." When the affairs officer Will heard that it was not a big deal, but rather a good thing, he readily agreed.
Killing the false king's envoy will also make the false king think that the officers of Huangyu Town have all turned to Baron Mouse Mountain. Otherwise, if the officers of Huangyu Town provide protection, how can the false king's envoy be killed? At that time, Huangyu Town will be justified.
It is also unclear whether they will completely oppose the false king.
"No, there is no reason to kill the messenger when the two armies are fighting?" The old knight Bart hurriedly stopped him.
"The way I see it, let's discuss it first, or wait until the royal envoy comes and we can discuss it together."
"How long will the discussion last? Baron Mouse Mountain has said that he will give you three more hours of discussion time. Once the time is up, Baron Mouse Mountain will regard you as the minions of the false king and attack the city directly..." Affairs Officer Will
Impatient direct export threats.
"It's just you peasants who put together an army? I'm not bragging. I only need 400 people to defeat you and capture your Baron of Rat Mountain alive." The fiery officer Andre exploded on the spot. He couldn't even look down on the city wall.
The lazy army.
"Then give it a try..." Affairs Officer Will flirted with him provocatively... He didn't believe it at all...
"Do you think I don't dare?" the fiery officer Andre yelled at the clerk Will, and Will's provocation made him furious...
"Then go ahead..." the sinister officer Yaerin stimulated Andre beside him.
"What should you do if you close the city gate after I go down? How about you go down with me." Andre turned his head and looked at him.
"Tsk, the guy without balls..."
Afterwards, several people began to argue endlessly. The clerk Will shouted several times and no one paid attention to him anymore, so he rode back to Qin Feng's side.
Facing Qin Feng's questioning look, the affairs officer shook his head and said that he had not completed the task of persuading him to surrender.
"It seems they still have hope for the Puppet King..." Qin Feng gently tapped the handle of the knife with his left hand.
"Captain, we found the false king's envoy ten miles away..." Taoist priest Liu Yun ran over to report.
"Capture them first..." Qin Feng looked around and added, "Let my generals go..."
After receiving the order, 40 generals and guards who had been fighting with Qin Feng for many days immediately set off, bypassing Huangyu Town and heading east.
This scene was also seen by the officers on the tower.
"Are they really going to intercept the puppet king's envoy?" Andre, the fiery officer, opened his eyes wide, "How courageous..."
Once the envoy is intercepted, it means that there will be no possibility of reconciliation between the two forces, and they can only fight to the death until one side is completely destroyed...
But Andre clearly guessed wrong. Qin Feng didn't want to kill the envoy yet, he just wanted to capture him...
"No, this...how is this possible? The royal envoy is also an envoy. He is going to be killed. Can Baron Mouse Mountain's army stop the royal family's army? As long as he can't stop us, we will be doomed..." The old knight Bart thought in his heart.
Feeling anxious, he turned around and walked downstairs.
"Old Bart, where are you going? You're not going to stop Baron Mouse Mountain, are you?" the sinister officer Yaerlin suddenly said.
"Where is that? As I get older, I always want to go to the latrine more often." After saying that, he ignored everyone and left the tower with his knights.
After a while, the east gate of Huangyu Town opened, and 30 heavily armed armored cavalry rushed out.
Yellow Fish Town is not as powerful as Green Stone Town in terms of scale or economy. Green Stone Town has a hundred armored cavalry, while Yellow Fish Town only has 30, and White Bird Town has only 20.
On the semi-wasteland and semi-desert land with an unobstructed view of Huangyu Town, a 20-man cavalry team holding a jeweled scimitar flag advanced towards Huangyu Town at a normal speed.
The messenger was a man wearing a knight's armor, and he was also someone Qin Feng knew. He was Andri, the former deputy leader of the Red Wolf Mercenary Group.
At this time, he looked up and saw two groups of cavalry running towards them one after the other.
"Defense..." Andri commanded the troops to form a circle, shields facing outward, scimitars unsheathed, always ready for battle.
The old knight Bart arrived first, leaving behind the guards who needed to take a detour.
Seeing the precautions of the royal envoy, the old knight quickly slowed down his war horse to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings, "Mr. envoy, you can't go any further. The army of Baron Mouse Mountain has arrived at Yellow Fish Town, and they have already sent people.
You will be intercepted and killed."
"Who are you?" Andri did not relax, alert to the intruders.
"I am Baron Yellow Fish, the most trusted knight with the oldest qualifications and the highest prestige. Sir Messenger, we really can't go any further. We should wait for the royal army to come." The old knight Bart said a little anxiously, turning his head from time to time.
…
At this time, the silhouettes of generals and guards in red armor can be seen in the distance...
Andri made a quick decision: "Withdraw..."
Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, there was no possibility of negotiation. Andri felt sorry for this. After all, this was his first mission and he wanted a perfect ending.
Before leaving, Andre said to the old knight Bart: "If you meet Baron Mouse Mountain, just tell him that his old friend Andre wants to meet him, and His Highness Charlie wants to make peace with Baron Mouse Mountain..."
