Godsend Field

Chapter 507 Decoy
There was a moment of silence in the large tent of the French Empire military camp.

"Crack!" Enrique threw the pardon in his hand on the table forcefully, and the pardon bounced and fell to the ground.A general stepped forward to pick up the pardon from the ground, and placed it respectfully on the table, "Marshal, do you..."

"Just a few people scared him out of his courage and called me back, what a waste!" Enrique was furious.

All the generals were stunned at the same time, and the marshal was scolding at this time. . .

Enrique was stunned and immediately realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, "Ahem, I mean Chester, this trash, and those courtiers are also eating dry food. There are so many courtiers in such a big empire, the one with hundreds of towns There are not ten thousand defenders, tens of thousands of dignitaries, and the worst ones have a thousand personal guards. Are they all eating shit? They are being beaten by mere tens of thousands of enemy troops!"

"Marshal, with all due respect, our empire has been in peace and stability for a hundred years, and the Welsh Empire has never invaded. It's okay for those powerful guards to bully men and women, if they are allowed to fight and work hard , I'm afraid they escape faster than anyone else!" said the general.

"Even if the personal guards are incompetent, then the guards of the major counties have no less than 30 people in their hands. Could it be that they can't stop the enemy army, which is less than [-]?"

"According to my information, this group of enemy troops is very cunning. They are all looking for some weakly defended towns to fight, and they can almost take them down with little effort. After they take it down, they will never miss it. Leave quickly, even the defenders are too lazy to kill. This is simply the behavior of bandits!"

"I didn't expect Lankers, who was upright and upright all his life, to play dirty in spite of the soldier's face!" Enrique was furious, and patted his thigh angrily.

"Marshal, when do you plan to leave for the capital?"

Enrique rolled his eyes and thought for a while, "How can you kill a chicken with a sledgehammer! I will now issue military orders to the guards of the counties, cities, and towns, so that they will strictly guard against their respective jurisdictions and take the initiative to block them. If anyone within the jurisdiction area If something like this happens, I'll cut off their heads!"

"This method is feasible, but Marshal, His Majesty's pardon is for you to return to the capital to command yourself!"

What a wimp!Enrique cursed secretly in his heart, "I will not accept the fate of the king outside! Lankers is playing with me like this, I will strip him alive myself!"

The generals were surprised at the same time. Since the arrival of Marshal Enrique, they have been defending instead of fighting. Anyone who dares to say something like going to war will be reprimanded by Marshal Enrique. Unexpectedly, Marshal Enrique would take the initiative to propose today. attack!

"Marshal, according to intelligence, these four places claim to be Lankers, and we don't know exactly which road he is in!"

"Huh, this Lankers is not there all the way, he will only be in one place, which is the city of Diu! Once their four-way lone army goes deep and wants to turn back, there is only one exit, and I can guarantee that Lankers will definitely Guarding this exit, he will not just watch his army go and never return!" Enrique said affirmatively, "As long as we take down the city of Diu, it will be like closing the door and catching a turtle in a urn!"

All the generals became excited immediately, and stood up one after another, "The last general of the marshal asks for orders to take down the city of Diu!"

"No, since I gave the city of Diu, I have to take it back. Besides, Lankers and I have had a grievance for nearly five or sixty years, so let's end here!" Enrique's eyes were sharp. You have a high fighting spirit, and you seem to be more than ten years younger all of a sudden. "During the time I left, you all strictly guarded your positions. No matter how provocative the other party is, you are not allowed to fight. If you let me know who played without authorization, you will be fine." Don't blame me for being ruthless! Did you hear that?"

"Yes!" All the generals collectively took orders.

The next day, Marshal Enrique personally led an army of [-] and set off towards Diu City.

"Report~~" A soldier rushed into Akas's big tent, panting, "Report to Marshal, the enemy has already moved. They sent nearly [-] troops to attack Diu City!"

"Great, this old fox is finally willing to come out of the nest!"

"Marshal Akas, the old marshal may be hard to resist with only 2 people in Diu, should we quickly reinforce it!" one of the generals asked.

Akas shook his head, "No, pass my order, and send people to call for formation every day, day and night. Once they make any movement, I will attack with all my strength!"

"But the old marshal..."

"The old marshal is defending the city. Although they have a large number of people, it is not a problem to persist for ten days!"

The rich brilliance of life gathered, and surrounded Tianci with a thick green color. Tianci closed his eyes and sat still without any movement.The surrounding trees and weeds are nourished by the radiating life brilliance, and they grow extraordinarily vigorously.

"Li'er, come here quickly, it's more comfortable here!" Qin'er waved to Li'er.

Lier opened her eyes and took a look, then shook her head quickly, "I don't want it anymore, Brother Tianci is still practicing, if we get too close, we will disturb him!"

"What are you afraid of, he is like a dead pig now, he can't even wake up!" Qin'er ran over and took Li'er's arm and walked to Tianci's side, "You just sit here and practice, the life brilliance here is very strong, Practicing here is definitely much better than being next to you, I meditated just now, and I feel very comfortable!"

"Really?" Lier blinked, hesitated for a moment, slowly sat on the ground, closed her eyes and began to meditate.

"Come on~~"

The sound of killing in the city of Diu shook the sky.Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the French Empire surrounded the small town, and the four walls fought at the same time.All kinds of siege weapons were used.Huge stones fell from the sky and hit the city wall heavily.

"Boom!" The protective wall at the top of the city shattered immediately, and the bricks splashed across the city.Before the soldiers who were closer could remember to reflect in the future, they were hit by boulders and fell to the ground in a bloody mess.

"Let the arrows!" Marshal Lankers stood on the top of the city in a mighty armor, his red cloak fluttering in the wind, and he waved his long sword to direct the defense of the guards.

Sharp arrows flew out of the city like locusts and shot towards the army below.The soldiers attacking below hurriedly put up their shields to cover them.

There was a clanging sound, and the sharp arrow hit the shield with a burst of sound.But even so, many soldiers were shot to death by random arrows and fell to the ground.

Soldiers rushed under the city wall like a tide, setting up siege weapons.

"splash!"

The defenders on the city wall took out countless wooden basins and vats from behind, and poured them towards the soldiers below the city. They were blown away by the wind as they fell, like half of the rain hitting the soldiers.

He sniffed hard with his nose, "This is... oil?"

"Fire the rocket!" Marshal Lankers waved his long sword.A troop of soldiers drew their bows, and the arrows were ablaze.With a general order, the rocket flew downward.

"Boom!" Groups of flames ignited.The soldiers who were not shot by the rocket did not last long, and the oil on their bodies was immediately ignited when it met the sparks next to them.With the help of oil, the entire city wall below instantly turned into a sea of ​​flames, and countless cries for help sounded out.The raging flames were thick with black smoke, and the disgusting smell of burnt flesh could be smelled even by the defenders on the city wall.

"Swoosh!" A sharp arrow flew towards Marshal Lankers, flashing with grudge.

"Marshal be careful!"

Full of vindictiveness, Marshal Lankers grabbed the sharp arrow that was flying, his hand felt hot and numb, and turned his head to look down, only to see Marshal Enrique riding a horse and holding a longbow three to 400 meters below. .

"Shameless boy, despicable sneak attack! Bring the bow!" Marshal Lankers roared, and the lieutenant next to him handed over a tiger-striped iron bow.Marshal Lankers took the bow and arrow and aimed at Enrique below.

"Whoosh!" The sharp arrow flew off the string.

Enrique sneered, and the sharp arrow obviously tilted his head.

"Touch!" The sharp arrow sank into the ground three meters in front of Enrique, and the tip of the arrow shot a stone grain on the ground.The stone particles were splashed by the impact and hit the eyelids of Enrique's steed.

With a neighing sound, Enrique's steed raised its front hooves and the tall man stood up and neighed, about to lose control.Enrique tightened the rein hard but still couldn't control the steed.The palm of the sword stretched out and hit the horse's head.The steed slowly fell to the ground, and Enrique jumped off and stood aside in embarrassment.

"Okay!" the Welsh soldiers guarding the city roared, their morale boosted.

"It's unreasonable!" Enrique was furious, strode forward, pointed at the tower, "Listen to me, Lankers, I have surrounded this place, if you are sensible, surrender obediently, I read You are only a human being so I can spare your life, otherwise you will die when the city is destroyed!"

Lankers smiled contemptuously, "Enrique, you have no sense of shame, you have the ability to bring 2 people to fight against me! It's ridiculous that you don't know how to lead troops well, except relying on more people and beating fewer people. Absolutely not! I heard that your ancestors once had a fief, which is the southeast province of our empire now! You have repeatedly invaded our Welsh Empire during the decades in power, I am afraid that you want to get back your Enrique family It used to be a fief! But I laugh at you for being busy for decades, consuming countless financial and material resources of the Faran Empire, and not even taking back a single town. If I were you, I wouldn’t have the face to see my ancestors even if I died!”

"You..." Enrique gritted his teeth. The southeastern province of the Welsh Empire has always been a piece of his heart, and now he has let Lankers uncover the scars. Your doomsday is here, wait for me to cut off your head, and then go to take back the land of our French Empire!"

"I still want to take back your land, hahaha!" Marshal Lankers laughed loudly. "Your empire is in danger. My majesty is wise and mighty. It will be a matter of time before you unify the mainland. If you are sensible, you might as well kneel down and surrender obediently." , I can promise Your Majesty to spare the life of your Enrique family and let you linger on. Otherwise, when my Majesty unifies the mainland, your Enrique family will have no descendants, hahaha!"

Enrique suddenly became furious, his fists clenched and trembling, wishing he could go up and tear Lankers apart, "I... I won't kill you in this life, I swear I won't be human!"

"Old Marshal, these few words of yours are really hateful! You can see that Enrique is so angry!" The lieutenant next to him pointed down and laughed.

"Hmph, I just want to be angry with him. If this Enrique doesn't give him some strong medicine, how can they bite us?" Marshal Lankers said, looking up at the sky, "Today is almost the same, wait Next, you lead a group of people to repair the city wall overnight. Find more big stones, roll logs, oil and the like and move them to the top of the city. Save bows and arrows if you can, and we will fight even more difficult battles next!"

"Yes! But old marshal, the materials prepared in the early stage are almost used up today, and we are already surrounded, there is no way to go to the materials outside!" The deputy general was a little embarrassed.

"You trash!" Marshal Lankers scolded angrily, "Aren't the houses of those expelled people empty, and they demolished those houses without materials!"

"Demolish the house?" The lieutenant nodded dully with his eyes wide open.

After continuously attacking for a day, the army of the Faran Empire also stopped to rest.Many bonfires were lit in the densely packed camp.

"Crack!" Marshal Enrique was afraid of hitting the table, "It's too good to be a bully, this old man is too good to be a bully!"

"Marshal, we attacked the city today and suffered heavy losses. The enemy obviously expected that we would attack the city, so they made sufficient preparations in advance. There is no way for us to attack so forcefully!" said a general.

Enrique's face darkened, "Then what do you say?"

"In my opinion, our strength is five times that of theirs. It is better to besiege them. When they run out of food and water, we can take Diu City without any effort!"

"Fart!" Marshal Enrique scolded, "Based on how you fight, when will you be able to win the city of Diu? Don't look at Arcas's apparent lack of reinforcements. I'll tell you that he won't be able to sit down within ten days." Stop, we must take Diu City before their reinforcements arrive, otherwise we will be forced to fight them on two fronts!"

The generals stopped talking. Perhaps Marshal Enrique was right, but the more reason may be the insulting words Lankers said today.

"Pass me the commander-in-chief, the whole army will step up the offensive tomorrow, and must take the city of Diu for me in the shortest possible time!"

It didn't take long for the genius to shine.

"Rush for me! The first one to rush into Diu City will be rewarded with [-] purple gold coins, Viscount Jin!" Marshal Enrique roared loudly, his voice lingering for a long time.

The soldiers behind rushed towards the city gate like a tide,

"Marshal Arcas, it's been five days. I'm afraid the old marshal can't hold on anymore. The last general asks for help!" A general stood up with an earnest expression on his face.

Arcas looked at the map with his brows furrowed, silently not saying a word.

"Marshal, the old marshal has done his best for the empire for decades, and his influence in the army has been far-reaching. If there is something wrong with the old marshal during this expedition, how can we explain to His Majesty and the people of the empire!" The general was anxious Knelt down on the ground.

The other generals in the big tent also knelt down, "After all, the old marshal is a banner of the imperial army. If something really happens, I'm afraid our army's morale will be destroyed!"

Although Nero had cleaned up a group of generals, Lankers had mastered the military affairs of the empire for nearly 60 years, and there were still many generals in the army who were promoted or cultivated by him.

Arcas took a deep breath, "You all get up first, why don't I understand this truth? The old marshal Lankers also helped me to be promoted and cultivated, so why would I want to see the old marshal have an accident? It's not time to send troops!"

"When it's time to send troops, I'm afraid the old marshal has already..." The generals lost control. "If it really happened, marshal, you would have indirectly killed the old marshal!"

"Do you think I'm willing to bear this notoriety? I can't wait to send my troops to Diu City to relieve the siege, but the old marshal won't let me do that!" Akas was extremely dull.

The generals were taken aback for a moment, the old marshal won't let him do this?

"Akas, do you dare to gamble with me?" Lankers pointed to the city of Diu on the map.

"Diu City?" Arcas read, "Old Marshal, how do you bet?"

"What I want to do most in this life is to send troops to crusade against the Faran Empire. Although the king did not allow me, I still studied the topography of the Faran Empire and the strength of the generals. The terrain in front of us plus the Hulao Pass can be said to be a To double insurance, easy to defend but difficult to attack. But in addition to this road, there is another road is Diu City. Although Diu City can reach their hinterland, but it has natural defects, so no one will use it. As long as we pretend to be Even Enrique would ignore the appearance of luring the enemy to fight, and let us take the city of Diu. My idea is to send a group of people into their hinterland to disturb them. The king of the Faran Empire is incompetent. He will be restless when he hears that we hit the stomach, and Enrique will be busy then. It can be said that Enrique and I have been entangled for more than 50 years, and he knows me well. When he finds out that he has been fooled, he will definitely If you become angry from embarrassment, you will definitely think that I will be stationed in Diu City, and I will raise troops at that time. As long as he moves, our opportunity will come, and then you only need to..."

Arcas sighed, this is too risky!
"Boom~~!" Half of the wall was thrown down from the city wall of Diu City.

"Ah~~" There was a scream, and more than a dozen soldiers were crushed under the wall before they could escape, bloody and bloody.The broken bricks and tiles also injured many soldiers nearby.

"Fire the arrow! Shoot me hard!" Enrique yelled, behind him stood a neat row of archers, drawing their bows and releasing their arrows in a clear order.

Thousands of thick wooden shields were erected a little behind the city wall, and wailing was heard from time to time.The shields were full of sharp arrows.

"Shout louder and more realistically!" a general shouted, "Whether we can hold the city depends on how many arrows they give us. Shout!"

"Old Marshal, this is too risky! I can't do this!" Arcas flatly refused.

"What's wrong! Could it be that I can't hold it for ten days? And I'm telling you, if the old fox Enrique doesn't give him some meat, he will turn around and run away immediately! You must bear it and wait until I hold the watch." Can't stop, if you send troops when the city is about to be broken, I bet he will take the risk and choose to break the city first. Then you will have a chance to surround them!"

"It still doesn't work! Otherwise, I'll attack Diu, old marshal, why don't you wait for the opportunity to reinforce?"

"No, if it's you, Enrique may not be able to take the bait. He and I have a 50-year hatred. Only I am the best bait to lure him! Besides, I am old and you are young. The future of the empire depends on you!"

"But... But if you have a three-game two-short, how can I explain it..."

"Hmph, hum! So you are afraid of my death, and you have a bad reputation for framing me!" The old marshal suddenly sneered, "Akas, I misread you, you are also a person who is trying to gain fame!"

"Old Marshal, am I that kind of person? As long as I sacrifice for the empire, I don't care, let alone my reputation!"

"Then why are you hesitating? As long as this ghostly place is broken, as long as Enrique is removed, and you put in more effort to take down Hulao Pass, there will be a flat plain in front of you!"

"I..."

"Hey! Can't I kneel down for you?"

"Old Marshal, what are you doing, get up!"

"Then you agree first!"

"I... I promise!"

Lankers stood up and slapped Arcas vigorously, "That's right, this is the soldier of the empire!"

Today is only the fifth day, and the old marshal can still hold on. . .Akas felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, and murmured at the corner of his mouth, "The time has not yet come, the bait...has not yet formed...Old Marshal, you must not have any accidents!"
