Chapter 206 The Messenger Arrives

Meeting Lin En's request, Tang Zhao was a little at a loss. After all, it would be a better choice to let him go to the front line. He could maximize his combat effectiveness there, and it would be a waste to put him in the rear to defend the city.

He doesn't like war very much, but he must choose the most efficient way when the war starts.

The reason Lynn gave him made him hold back his words. One was because he was going to face the retaliatory counterattack of the Kolo people in the future, and a powerful person was needed to guard him. Come here, call him by name, want to meet him, and have something to discuss.

At this time, Tang Zhao did not refuse, and took over the task from the opponent.

Most of the army and elite combat forces are still in Lin En's hands. He wants to use these people to push forward and coordinate with the elves and giants. Most of the soldiers left for Tang Zhao are ordinary soldiers who are placed on the city wall to fill in the lines It's ok, but it's hard to tell how much you can expect them to do.

Whenever the opponent draws more than three fifth-tier beings to attack, Tang Zhao thinks he can't defend the city, but fortunately, the Grand Duke's envoy will come to the scene with the reinforcements, and things are not too bad.

Before fighting Ke Luo's army, the biggest problem facing Tang Zhao was how to quickly restore the city defense.

They didn't consider retaining the original style of the city during the siege battle. Now the city is riddled with holes, the city walls are damaged in many places, three city gates have been knocked open, and there are still a certain number of remnants of the enemy in the city. Coming to defend the city can only be said to be a self-challenge to the defenders.

Tang Zhao naturally wanted to mobilize the civilians in the city, but it was really hard for them to obey a lizard when they were newcomers, so Tang Zhao could only choose to play hard and soft.

Lin En's food preparations are abundant, and there are not so many living residents in the city of Deep Water. Tang Zhao distributed the food directly and generously to everyone, and then guaranteed that everyone who participated in it would be rewarded with different specifications, all of which were real silver coins and copper coins. , The settlement was issued on the same day, and he also promised that no matter what the battle situation was, when he retreated, he would take the residents of the city who favored them with him.

It can be regarded as recruiting mercenaries from the entire Deep Water City. At the same time, Tang Zhao did not hesitate to use force to suppress the remaining forces in the city. When fighting, one should not show too much mercy. Once found, they would be killed directly.

It is said that compassion does not command soldiers, and there is a reason for it. Tang Zhao thinks that he is a good-tempered creature, but now he can clearly distinguish the occasions when he uses it, and he can't make others pay for his soft-heartedness.

The mobilization effect was not very good, but it was slowly improving. Tang Zhao didn't have this time to wait, so he chose to lead people to work in person.

Pull large boulders and trees from the mountains and forests, use these things as skeletons, gravel and soil as flesh and blood, and temporarily repair the city walls that collapsed outside the city.Searching the arsenal in the city, distributing weapons and equipment to supporters, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner within the plan.

……

A few days later, the first ground troops from Keluo arrived. They traveled all day and night to the vicinity of Waterdeep City. The original purpose was to reinforce the city defenders. Now they think that Tang Zhao's foothold is not stable, and it is a good opportunity to attack and take back the city. , as long as Waterdeep City is taken back, Lynn's troops will be surrounded.

It’s not that there was nothing wrong with the air before, but the coalition forces of Nirn and the elves are stronger, and the cloud giant also participated in the war against Keluo to plunder. He will use very powerful sky magic to severely damage the flying troops of the Keluo people .

Now there are not many high-end manticores and vultures in their army. Most of them are secondary races such as bats. It's better to save money on the elite team.

The attacking party originally thought that this attack would be a surprise attack, but it was a pity that they kicked the iron board.

The combat power is average, and the living dead with low intelligence level can't break through the city wall several meters high. The number of those precious alchemy creatures and biochemical creatures is not large, and they can only affect them locally. Tang Zhao barely blocked the enemy.

Being dragged into a war of attrition again, the ones who can't afford to consume this time are the Kolo people. There is no decisive lethal weapon, so they can only be wasted, and they cannot make a final decision.

Faced with the crazy offensive of the Keluo people, Tang Zhao chose to seek help from outside.After informing them, Lynn ignored the pressure from the front line, and squeezed out a few flight teams in good condition and third- and fourth-tier powerhouses through his teeth to return to Waterdeep City.

The number of Kolo's troops who rushed over continued to increase, and Lynn's reinforcements also continued to increase. The two sides formed a stalemate to a certain extent, unable to continue to break through.

Participating in the battle desperately, Tang Zhao barely blocked their continuous offensive, and after repelling the opponent's last large-scale offensive, the Keluo army could only retreat unwillingly, and turned to help the capital's ongoing The core area being attacked, or attacking other relatively weak strongholds, is not spent here anyway.

Tang Zhao, who won the victory, was not very happy, because the loss was not small, and he himself was injured many times, and his combat ability was severely reduced.

The defenders left by Lynn have basically lost [-]% to [-]%, and the reinforcements that have been replenished have also undergone a major change, and they are all in a severely damaged state.

But no matter what, at least he held on in the end.

Tang Zhao also wanted to send troops to support Lin En and the others, but the situation was really not permissible. The condition of the soldiers was already very poor, and they could no longer go out of the city to fight, so they could only rest and wait on the spot.

After thinking about it, Tang Zhao asked the remaining elite troops in the city to return to the front line to assist Lin En and the others in their continued attack. He himself began to strengthen the defense of Waterdeep City, while waiting for the arrival of the Grand Duke's envoy.

……

The Grand Duke moved a little slower than Tang Zhao thought, and it was a week or so after the siege battle was over. During this time, Tugrik and other giants and Lin En had made different progress.

Tugrik aggressively invaded the coastal area of ​​Kolo, occupied several seaport cities one after another, and specially selected those rich places to plunder. Although he did not commit any particularly horrific massacres, he plundered all the way. Let Colo's defenders struggle.

The main force led by Lin En pointed directly at the capital of Keluo. The two sides spread out on the plain and faced each other across the river. No one wanted to cross the river and attack by force.

Under such circumstances, a group of people rushed to Shenshui City, saying that they were the emissary of the Grand Duke, but Tang Zhao felt that it was not the case at all.

Because ordinary envoys would not have a fifth-level powerhouse to accompany them, nor would they have a dragon or beast pulling a cart as a car, the identity of the person who came should be much more special.

　Without eunuchs, I definitely don't cut books, but I have been extremely busy recently.

　　The university is a double degree, and there are many courses on both sides. Not counting the public holiday, there are three free time for classes. I have to learn small languages ​​and professional English, and I also have to do the messy things of the class committee. The time is really tight, and I write it out of hobby I wrote it, and I didn’t want to push myself too hard. I didn’t want to go through the experience of typing hundreds of dollars a month until two or three in the morning and getting up at six in the morning to go to class.

　　After a period of time, try to keep daily updates, and squeeze time out on weekends to write more, probably like this.

　　Everyone can raise books slowly, I am sorry everyone, but there is no way, serious things matter.
