Chapter 234: Breaking the City (Part 1)
Yun Liu's eunuch had no status. Don't be arrogant when you pass on the message. Bifano wanted to kill him, so he killed him directly. Bifano waved his hand, and the personal soldiers behind him rushed over, lifted the eunuch and carried the eunuch and brought it to Bifano.
One of the personal soldiers drew out the short sword and pressed it on the neck of the eunuch slave.
"I asked, you answered. If you don't answer, you will kill, you will answer slowly, you will answer wrongly, you will kill, you will kill, you will lie, you will kill, I think you are lying, you will kill. Do you understand?"
The eunuch struggling for a while, but he was not afraid. He just sneered twice and said, "Are people like us still afraid of death?"
"How is my father?" Bifano ignored the words of the eunuch and began to ask questions.
"Escape, Your Majesty is furious and has sent troops into the Titan. Don't think you are too great. Now you and I are not separated and will die soon."
Bifannuo knew that the eunuch slave was stubborn, but he still didn't want to die, so he continued to ask: "How many people have come to Yunliu?"
"When I left, His Majesty had already dispatched two forward battalions."
"Forward Battalion? He actually used the Royal Swordsman!" Bifano was also surprised. The Principality of Titan had Yunliu's troops. If you wanted to dismantle the Agares family, you could do it by using the border guards. The Royal Swordsman Battalion was one of Yunliu's powerful army, and the other elite troops were on the sea.
As soon as the vanguard camp moved, at least 30,000 people were still in action. The imperial capital was only 100,000 elite troops, and half of them were sent out at once. Isn’t it afraid that local warlords would have evil thoughts?
Emperor Yunliu had twelve battalions of soldiers, and the main force was exactly 120,000, of which 20,000 had to take turns to station in other places, each round in three years to maintain combat effectiveness. However, Yunliu's auxiliary soldiers were relatively small, and the guards of the imperial capital were all based on the Royal Swordsman Camp. Although there were other organizations of twenty-four battalions, they were all stationed in provinces near the imperial capital. If something really happened, it would take at least half a month to gather.
Emperor Yunliu did this, but there were certain risks.
"Bifano, the Gauss family has been brought down by His Majesty. His Majesty has rectified his military equipment and gathered 200,000 troops. Do you think you can save the Titan?"
"The Gauss family fell?!" Bifano changed his face this time. The Gauss family is the most powerful force in the empire, and the imperial capital has always been helpless against the Gauss family. After the new emperor took office, it has been a policy of appeasement for more than ten years. The Gauss family leads two huge coastal provinces, and it is said that there are secret giant islands on the sea to train dead soldiers.
Whether it is wealth, military strength, or connections among local aristocrats, the Gauss family does not have to be weak in the royal family.
Since Jupiter ascended the throne, he has always been a foolish person. Unexpectedly, he pretended to be a pretentious person! He was probably planning before he could move the Gauss family.
Bifano looked at the stone castle in the distance. The tall castle went straight into the sky, and the highest spire was really inserted into a cloud of mist, so I couldn't see clearly.
The emperor knew his whereabouts, and the Red Pink Legion also knew his whereabouts! Bifano had a moment of doubt about himself. Can he still have a chance to turn over? Are there any spies to Emperor Jupiter around him?
Impossible! The personal soldiers of the Agares family were selected from the most loyal leaders. These people have followed the Agares family for dozens of generations. No matter how magical Emperor Jupiter is, it is impossible for these personal soldiers to betray him.
"Kill it." Bifano gave the order, and the short sword of the personal soldier immediately penetrated into the neck of the eunuch. He pressed it down and blood sprayed on the ground.
There was an army of forty people behind the eunuchs, which was the defenders of the stone statue castle. Seeing that Bifano killed the emperor's envoy, these soldiers immediately started to riot and fled to the stone statue castle.
It was about a mile away from the stone statue castle. Bifano made a gesture and immediately another team of personal soldiers chased after him, shooting arrows from behind, and shooting the soldiers one by one.
Pfano urged the horse to come to Rex's chariot and whispered: "Your Highness."
Rex saw everything clearly in the car. It was impossible to get into the stone castle now, and Bifano came to ask for help.
"Sarin, what do you think?"
"If you are sure, take action; if you are not sure, take a detour."
Rex thought carefully and after a while, he said to Bifano outside the car: "Retreat a few miles in a row, let me calculate it."
Bifano's team retreated five miles and began to set up a defensive camp. It was too close to the stone castle, and it was possible to send cavalry to attack the castle.
There was a huge stone house next to the road, but the ceiling was made of wood, with roofs woven with bark and ropes, and several layers of paint. It was originally a temporary place for soldiers to rest. Because they knew that Bifano's team was going to pass here, the soldiers had been withdrawn long ago.
This time, Rex got off the magic chariot, entered the stone house, used cleaning techniques to clean up the decay in the room, and set up a table. Bifano was very sensible about the map and architectural drawings of the stone statue castle, and handed it to Rex.
Salin followed and looked at the two drawings with Rex.
The stone statue castle relies on the Chishui River, which runs east-west and eventually pours into Hanze. Hanze is a huge inland lake located at the junction between Titan and Qinyin. The Chishui River turns three turns in the stone statue castle, and there is a wide iron bridge built on it. If you want to pass through the iron bridge, you must take down the outer fortifications of the stone statue castle.
The terrain here is quite flat and can run away war horses, but the location of the stone statue castle is full of hills formed by rocks, with almost no height of more than one hundred meters, but it protects the stone statue castle well.
Because of these rocks, if you want to attack the stone statue castle, you cannot concentrate your large-scale military force and can only attack on two narrow roads. The terrain of the stone statue castle is sixty or seventy meters above the water surface, and it is impossible to use the Chishui River.
Looking at the drawings of the castle, the stone statue castle is an irregular hexagon, covering an area of about two miles, and can accommodate a large number of soldiers, even if it is 100,000 people to move in. However, Yunliu's troops have not yet arrived here. The stone statue castle itself has only 5,000 garrisons, and the peasant militia will not fight to the best of their ability. After all, the Agares family has been operating on this land for too long, and the Yunliu royal family cannot control these farmers.
"There are at least six thousand enemies in the castle." Bifano did not talk nonsense. When facing the battle, he had no aristocratic problems. Instead, he was like a general who had experienced many battles.
“How many elites are there?”
"The Earl of Winner has five hundred elite soldiers, and there are probably five hundred private soldiers in private. These private soldiers have slightly low combat power, but they are extremely loyal. The soldiers of the five flag regiments are nominally Yunliu's garrison, but they are all drawn from Titans. The combat power is much higher than that of peasant militias, but they are not very strong in combat."
Bifano told Rex the most straightforward way that he had no magician and had to ask for help from Rex. This was also impossible. Because of the rushing march, there was only some simple equipment on his ten large cars, so it was impossible to carry any catapult.
The drawings are very detailed. The Agares family will definitely strengthen their defenses for places like stone castles. They have long sent spies to copy the most original drawings and marked the details of repairs and reconstructions every year.
Because there are only two roads entering and leaving the castle, the stone castle's defense is concentrated on both sides of the east and west. Although this drawing is not a three-dimensional magic image, it also marks all facilities in detail, including the six trenchers near the east gate of the castle. These are six fixed trenchers, which are usually protected by huge metal brackets and will only be removed during war.
Rex asked Bifano to withdraw his troops because of these six catapults. This fixed catapult has poor survival ability, but the catapult range is accurate. Each catapult controls a certain range outside the east gate and has been debugged long ago. As long as there is a skilled magic apprentice control, no temporary adjustment is required, the accurate landing point can be quickly found.
Six catapults were launched at the same time, and Bifano's more than 400 personal soldiers were afraid that one-fifth of them would be immediately lost.
This catapult can only resist large-scale weapons, such as the enemy's puppet army, magic catapults, etc. To deal with powerful people like magicians, in addition to relying on magicians, they also rely on arrow towers.
There are more than twenty arrow towers at the east gate, and the medium-sized alchemy crossbows are set up on it. If a level 6 magician wants to fly into the castle, it will inevitably attract the alchemy crossbows to shoot.
More than 20 arrow towers are to make up for the shortcomings of the magic tower. Each arrow tower has a medium-sized alchemy crossbow and more than 30 small crossbows. Unless it is a level 8 magician, the defense of the magician will naturally decrease when flying in the air, and the control of magic is even more difficult. Faced with this overwhelming arrow, a magician like Salin, who is good at defense, dare not say that he can survive.
Of course, Salin can hide his body with clouds and mist, and the enemy can only shoot randomly by luck, but if Salin wants to hide, it will also rely on luck. Even for a set of alchemy molds, Salin will not work so hard.
After looking at the drawings, Rex said to Bifano: "If this castle does not open the gate, if you want to capture it, you must have large equipment. I brought two catapults, but unfortunately I can't suppress the six in the castle."
"Where is the flying golem?"
Rex smiled and said, "Those twenty arrow towers are not decorations. The speed of the flying puppet cannot escape the alchemy arrows. Before they can hit the catapult, they will be shot down."
"Your Highness, I will give you all the warehouses of the next city!" Bifano made a quick decision. He didn't believe that Rex could not build this stone statue castle. The stone statue castle stuck the iron bridge on the Chishui River. Now the river water is soaring. Apart from this iron bridge, it is possible to cross the river only by circling upwards for 500 miles.
"Two cities!" Rex started the price locally. She needed to invest a lot of supplies to build this castle. The warehouses in a city may not be able to recover the cost or be unprofitable.
"make a deal!"
