Chapter 44 Defend according to the city
The sky is gradually dawning, and the light green sky is inlaid with a few remaining stars. The earth is hazy, like a silver-gray gauze.
Dawn, like a sharp sword, split the silent night and ushered in the rising sun.
The land of Eastern Plague, Dalong County City. Time passed slowly, and Dalong County City in chaos had quickly calmed down. The rising sun was lined up in the sky, and it was noon.
The bright sunshine shone into the city, with few people on the streets and no one was walking around.
After a long time, the sound of footsteps came from the empty streets.
A team of fully armed soldiers, holding weapons, were patrolling the guards.
In front of the city lord's mansion, there were a large army gathering, not as calm as other places in the city. Ulysses stood in front of him in armor, looking at the city lord's mansion in front of him.
A solemn look appeared in his eyes. The city lord's mansion in front of him was a castle.
Each length and width are 300 meters. A tall tower is set up in the southwest corner. The closed arrow tower is built, and the first floor is 20 meters. In the castle, all the buildings are covered with stone pieces. The wall itself is also very wide and thick, more than 3 meters thick.
The composite form of the internal fortress and the attached arrow tower, the trench was dug at the bottom of the city wall, surrounding the entire castle, and the gates were solid fences, extremely solid.
"What a turtle shell," Ulysses sighed in his mouth after a long time.
The castle in front of you is easy to defend but difficult to attack. If you have enough food and enough soldiers, it will be no problem to defend for a year or two.
"How is the internal guards of this city lord's mansion?" Ulysses's eyes flashed constantly, but he did not make up his mind.
"The Lord of Dalong County has strengthened the guards of the City Lord's Mansion in the past year. It has expanded from 200 to 500. In addition, after the chaos, many people fled into the City Lord's Mansion, most of which are knights," the stalker stood beside Ulysses, deliberately staggering a step to show respect. He lowered his head and said.
"How many knights are there in Dalong County?" Ulysses frowned.
This is not good news. Although the first legion of the Round Table is elite, they are still inferior to the Knights.
The knight had begun to move towards the aristocratic class, although he was only at the lowest level and had certain privileges.
Whether they are equipment or training, they are not comparable to ordinary people.
The knights and the entourages who specialize in fighting are the main components of the Dalong County army.
"The Lord of Dalong County is the throne of barons. There were originally ten knights who were canonized. At the beginning of the year, he began to enthrone the number of knights, expanding the number of knights to twenty-five. In addition, there were thirty-four knights who surrendered to the rebellion of the undead, the number of knights was thirty-four," the man in the red scarf knew all of these information. After Ulysses asked, he thought for a moment and replied immediately.
Ulysses nodded, satisfied with his answer.
This time, I made some effort to understand Dalong County and had a deep understanding of it. This is a person with real skills, otherwise I would not be responsible for the information in Dalong County.
"Badak!" Ulysses shouted.
"Here!" A man hurriedly walked over. The man was quite old and in his fifties. The years left heavy marks on his face. His hair was silvery, but his body was still strong and his steps were heavy. He walked to Ulysses in big strides.
"Are all the prisoners counted?" Ulysses asked.
"Time is too tight, and the approximate numbers have been counted. The resistance of the military camp is weak. Except for a few extreme stubborn resisters, everyone was caught in one fell swoop," he replied, his voice very smoothly and without any fluctuations.
Ulysses glanced at him dissatisfiedly. What is the general statistics of the numbers, and the final answer was even more clever. He directly avoided his questions and avoided the truth and the false. How could such an answer satisfy him? He looked at the city lord's mansion in front of him, and he ignored this point and asked directly; "Have you counted the captured knights and the knights who died in battle?"
"Three people were captured, and five others died in battle," his answer was quick. Ordinary soldiers didn't care, but these quasi-nobles who already had the title of knight began to be buried in the aristocratic class, which was the object of attention.
Eight people, no matter who are not in the city, there are almost twenty knights in the city lord's mansion. One person calculates three entourages, and then sixty, all of them are calculated together, so there are nearly a hundred people.
There are also guards with the original 500 number. No, the 500 number is inaccurate. The city lord's mansion has always been on high alert. The information obtained by external detection is definitely not accurate, and there will be a difference.
The difference between the front and back is between one hundred and two hundred, and if you calculate it in a mixed way, the defensive power in the city lord's mansion is nearly a thousand people.
Thousands of people, Ulysses' bright eyes began to dim.
He glanced at the first round table legion behind him, the silver-white armor reflected light in the sun, and the weapons in his hand emitted a burst of cold light.
Elite, they are all elite.
However, if you want to break through this city lord's mansion, there are a fewer people. There are already five hundred people who are responsible for the security in the city. Every household is not allowed to move to prevent chaos. There are still thousands of people guarding prisoners in the military camp.
The only force that can truly invest in the attack on the city lord's mansion is more than 3,000.
With the strong city, thousands of people defended their defensive power. If one side has some strength, even if it can be captured, it will be both sides injured and suffer heavy losses. My legion will be destroyed.
However, this is still a beautiful luxury. He came this time and did not carry any siege equipment at all.
After thinking about it, Ulysses continued to ask, "How much is the accumulated food in the city lord's mansion?"
The nobles of the Azeroth world built one of their lairs stronger than the other, and all of them were castles.
These castles have no comfort in living. They all exist for war. If there is enough defensive power and enough food, it will be no problem to keep the lord of Nadalong County for several months.
“Enough food!”
"One-third of the food in Dalong County is in the lord's mansion."
"This is really not good news," Ulysses was stunned and said casually.
In Ulysses's view, no matter how he looked at this news, the lord of Dalong County was not an ordinary person. He began to prepare early, intending to rely on the city lord's mansion to defend and block the enemy.
"Send people to persuade those knights to surrender and spread the news that the Lord of Dalong County colluded with Kel Thujad. As long as they can make contributions anyway, they can keep their knight titles," Ulysses pondered for a moment, choosing to surrender, but not choosing to attack.
After failing to achieve complete success in one battle, Ulysses's face was somewhat unpleasant. Looking at the city lord's mansion ahead, he thought he would attack in the darkness.
You can directly break through the military camp and then take advantage of the situation to take down the city lord's mansion.
But the real situation gave him a blow. When the military camp broke through and divided his troops to the city lord's mansion.
The city lord's mansion has been on guard for a long time, with the gates closed and above the city walls, guards lined up in groups, although there was some panic, they were already on guard.
The lord of Dalong County is not an ordinary person, and he has underestimated him a little.
In such a short time, he began to accept some people and then resisted. The Lord of Dalong County performed very well. If Ulysses had not directly aimed at the barracks and captured the barracks, and was sent by the Lord of Dalong County to rectify them, Ulysses would not have controlled Dalong County so easily, and there was only one Lord's Mansion that had not been taken down.
There will definitely be an arduous battle then.
Ulysses ordered, and naturally someone stepped forward and shouted loudly.
The extraordinary power is better than the ordinary world, and the thick sound instantly resounded on the city wall of the city lord's mansion.
Every word of shouting is carefully crafted, without any profound tone, it is all plain language, simple and easy to understand, and it sounds clear.
Unfortunately, looking at the above the City Lord's Mansion, the lord of Dalong County was a talented person. He reacted quickly and organized people to resist, but he would definitely die this time. Although this battle had some twists and turns, the general direction was still under Ulysses's control. It was only a matter of time before the City Lord's Mansion was captured.
There is sufficient food and supplies, and guarding the city, all of which are based on one thing, that is morale.
Without morale, even if there is enough food in a solid city, it will be easily captured.
For example, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Manchu cavalry swept across the south of the Yangtze River, Nanjing, the important town of Jiangnan, surrendered without fighting and was easily taken down.
Otherwise, if there is the strength of Nanjing, people need people, money and money, and want to fight, it will be a long-lasting war.
For example, in Xiangyang, the city defense is not as good as Nanjing, but as long as the morale is high and the whole family is united, there is no shortage of money and food, and it will not be damaged in a few years.
"Don't listen to them talk nonsense. This is just an excuse. They fight undeclaredly and invade other people's territories. As long as we persist for a while and see how they explain to other nobles, there will naturally be some justice." The lord of Dalong County heard the shout, his face looked stern, and his eyes flashed with strong fluctuations.
He shouted loudly, and the shouting continued; "This is their remnants of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. You are all Lordaeron's people. If you surrender and fall into their hands, there will definitely be no good end."
Ulysses stared at the crowd who were originally unstable because of the shouting, but after the Lord of Dalong County shouted, it became much more stable. On the surface, he could no longer see anything. His eyes were cold and he was very anxious and wise. However, the more this happens, the more damn the enemy is.
