Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 201 The Warrior Returns to the Team
Facing the heavily defended city of Colo, the Sith corps serving as the vanguard failed to attack several times. As time passed, the commander Sith was very anxious.

If Keluo City cannot be captured as soon as possible, as Lin Chuan's direct lineage regiment, it will not only affect the honor of the regiment, but also Lin Chuan's prestige in the regiment.

Although Lin Chuan is the commander of the First Army Corps now, the corps under his command come from various units, and the deputy army chief and chief of staff are all directly airborne from the command.

Lin Chuan was directly promoted from the head of the army to the head of the army. Although he had made great military achievements before, he was young after all. Although the heads of the corps under his command expressed their support on the surface, everyone knew what was going on.

In the sturdy Nanchuan Army, strength has always been used to speak. Now Lin Chuan is the commander of the army, and the Sith Corps is Lin Chuan's direct descendant. There are a large number of recruits, and the combat power is not very strong.

At the pre-war meeting, Lin Chuan resisted all opinions and let the Sith Corps, which has a large number of recruits, serve as the vanguard, in order to give himself a prestige.

Sith did not live up to Lin Chuan's expectations. He was invincible all the way, but now he is blocked in Keluo City. This is what Sith doesn't want to see. If they want them to continue to serve as the vanguard, the other regiment leaders will also complain, which is not good for the regiment.

Whether or not Keluo City can be captured now is not only related to the honor of the First Corps, but also to Lin Chuan's prestige in the position of the new regiment commander. Sith dare not neglect.

"Is the trebuchet ready?" Sith asked the chief of the supply battalion.

The chief of the supply battalion replied with a bitter face: "General, the manufacture of five trebuchets will not be completed until noon tomorrow at least. This is already the fastest speed of the craftsmen."

Sith frowned, shook his head and said, "I can't wait, the main force of the legion will arrive at noon tomorrow."

"General, let the Fourth Banner Regiment attack again at night!" Mu Xue, the commander of the Fourth Banner Regiment, stood up and said.

The Fourth Banner Regiment suffered heavy losses during the daytime siege battle. The head of the Banner Regiment, Mu Xue, personally attacked with the thunder stone and the log, and now the blood on his armor was still wet.

Sith pondered for a moment, then slammed his fist on the table and said, "That's the only way to go. After dark, the third banner regiment will attack the north gate, and the fourth banner regiment will attack the south gate. We must take Keluo City before dawn tomorrow! "

"No!" The commanders of all the flag regiments agreed loudly, and filed out to prepare for the battle after nightfall.

The Nanchuan army has always been good at field battles. Night battles have always been bad at siege operations. Every time they are filled with human lives, although Lin Chuan has always been summarizing his experience in siege operations.

However, after all, the Nanchuan Army was established for too short a time. All kinds of siege equipment were not complete, and many technologies were firmly controlled by the Dynasty Army. Even the manufacture of trebuchets was only fumbled after capturing the craftsmen of the Dynasty Army.

Now Sith can only put all his eggs in one basket, hoping to capture Keluo City by virtue of the night battle that the Nanchuan Army is good at.

The night slowly shrouded, and the sky and the earth darkened. Torches were lit on the top of Keluo City, illuminating the entire city brightly. Sith looked at the solid Keluo City with complicated emotions.

Could it be that Kolo City is really the nemesis of the First Corps?Sith shook his head and remained silent.

"General, there is a civilian asking to see you." The guard came in a hurry and reported to Sith.

Sith waved his hand and said: "Give him a few copper coins and send him away. If you want to appeal for grievances or something, then you can find the officials of the Consulate."

The guard continued: "General, I said the same thing, but he said he has a way to break through the city of Kolo—"

"Oh?" The Sith's interest was aroused by the guard's words. Perhaps the local civilians really knew the weakness of Kolo City: "Bring him up, I will ask myself."

The guards left in a hurry, and soon a middle-aged man in a robe was brought before Sith.

Although the middle-aged man's robe is worn out, he walks vigorously and swings his arms very powerfully. He doesn't look like a civilian at all, but looks like a soldier. The guards around the Sith were very alert and hurriedly blocked him a few steps away. Man, keep him out of the Sith.

"I heard that you have an office to capture Keluo City!" Looking at the man in the robe, he asked loudly.

"General Sith?" The middle-aged man raised his head and asked tentatively instead of answering Sith's words.

"Arrest him!" Hearing the middle-aged man's answer, Sith's face darkened immediately, and he ordered the surrounding guards in a cold voice.

The middle-aged man aroused Sith's suspicion when he started walking, and now hearing his answer, Sith has already concluded that there is something wrong with this man.

Ordinary civilians would call officers when they saw military officials, but this man didn't do that. Instead, he called Sith by his name.

If it wasn't for the enemy's assassins, they wouldn't have known such details.

Following Sith's order, the wolf-like guards around jumped at the middle-aged man, and several guards couldn't hold him down, which further confirmed Sith's thoughts.

After more than a dozen guards held down the middle-aged man, Sith asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, who are you! What's the purpose of coming here?!"

The middle-aged man in the robe was pinned to the ground by more than a dozen guards. He was in a state of embarrassment, but he still couldn't hide his rebelliousness.

"General Sith, I'm not an enemy—" the middle-aged man hurriedly said loudly.

Sith said coldly: "Tell me your true identity! Otherwise, I will behead you as a spy!"

"General, I am Liu Erhu, the commander of the thousand-man scout team of the Second Banner Regiment of the First Corps." The middle-aged man replied loudly, "I have my military badge in my arms!"

Hearing the Second Banner Regiment, Sith's pupils shrank slightly, and with a wave of his hand, the guard quickly found an iron military badge from Liu Erhu's arms.

The other side of the iron plate of "Scout Team of the Second Banner Regiment of the First Corps of the Nanchuan Army" reads: "Liu Erhu, Officer of the Iron Eagle".

This is the standard Nanchuan Army ID card, but now Sith can't believe it, because the Second Banner Regiment has been destroyed in Keluo City, he is not sure whether Liu Erhu has defected to the enemy.

Seeing that Sith was not moved at all, Liu Erhu hastily added: "General, I used to belong to the First Banner Regiment, and Captain Xiao Zhanqi knows me."

Sith turned his head and told the guards: "Go and call Captain Xiao Zhanqi."

Soon, Xiao Zhan, the commander of the First Banner Regiment, walked over quickly, and he handed the card of General Sith to Xiao Zhan and said, "Xiao Zhan, do you know this Liu Erhu?"

Xiao Zhan looked at the military card and replied: "I know him. He used to be the commander of a thousand people in the First Banner Battalion of our Banner Regiment, and was later transferred to the Second Banner Regiment..."

"Mr. Xiao, I'm Liu Erhu." Seeing Xiao Zhan coming, Liu Erhu shouted hastily.

Xiao Zhan took a step forward, and when he saw Liu Erhu, he hugged Liu Erhu's shoulder excitedly: "Erhu, you are really Erhu, you are still alive!"

Seeing Liu Erhu being held down by the guards, Xiao Zhan hurriedly stood up and said to Sith: "General, it's really Liu Erhu, let him go."

Sith raised his head and said, "I'm still not sure whether he has defected to the enemy... So, Xiao Zhan, I can't let him go now."

Xiao Zhan suddenly became anxious: "General, I, Xiao Zhan, take the head as a guarantee that Erhu was single-handedly picked up by me. He will never surrender to the enemy!"

"General, I, Liu Erhu, was born as a member of the First Corps, and died as a ghost of the First Corps. If you say I surrender to the enemy, you are insulting me, Liu Erhu. You should kill me!" Liu Erhu raised his head and said loudly.

Sith was in a dilemma, and finally decided to let Liu Erhu go: "Okay, I can let you go temporarily, but you must explain clearly what happened during this period, otherwise, you will know the consequences of surrendering to the enemy."

Soon, Liu Erhu was taken to the headquarters of the Corps, and several flag regiment leaders rushed over one after another, wanting to know what happened to the Second Banner Regiment.

Although they knew before that Ye Fei's Second Banner Regiment was destroyed, they all learned about it from the enemy army and knew nothing about the details. Now everything is revealed to the world.
