"why?"
Bart didn't answer, and carefully watched the approaching reinforcements from Cliff City.
At this time, the reinforcements from Cliff City were getting closer.You can already see the young man in the front wearing armor, riding a tall horse, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, about 27 or 8 years old.
This 27 or 8-year-old handsome young man is Thomas, the son of Lord Linde.
I saw Thomas leading the 2500 regular troops with uniform movements forward with a solemn expression. At this time, the reinforcements from Cliff City were only one kilometer away from the city wall.
Bart planned to ask Thomas when he got closer. At this moment, Bart suddenly saw that there were many long ladders hidden in the ranks of reinforcements in Cliff City.
Bart was startled, this is a siege ladder!
Then, when there was still some distance from Lighthouse City, Thomas suddenly raised the scimitar in his hand, his expression was angry, and he shouted loudly: "Siege the city!"
Thomas' voice was so loud that even Bart could hear it clearly.
Then the next moment, the 2500 Cliff City troops let out a loud cry, and everyone rushed towards Lighthouse City.
Lieutenant General Keith was shocked: "This, what's going on?"
Bart was also shocked in his heart, but he suddenly reacted and shouted: "The whole army is ready for war!"
117. Planting
The 200 defenders on the city wall were equally unbelievable, but they were all ready to fight immediately.
Bart then said to Lieutenant General Keith: "Go and call for reinforcements!"
"Yes!"
Lieutenant Keith turned and ran.
In a blink of an eye, the 2500 Cliff City troops rushed under the city wall, set up siege ladders and began to attack the city.
More than 20 siege ladders were quickly erected on the city wall, and the Cliff City army shouted and climbed the siege ladders to the city wall.
The two hundred defenders on the city wall kept shooting arrows and stones to prevent the soldiers from going up the city.
However, even though the defenders tried their best to prevent the soldiers of the cliff city from climbing the city, soldiers from the cliff city continued to climb the city wall.The defenders continued to stab out their spears and swung their weapons to shoot down the soldiers who had climbed the city wall.
Bart immediately drew out his epee and went into battle, knocking down the soldiers who had climbed the city wall one after another.
A battle to defend the city started unexpectedly.
The strength of the two sides was extremely different, and the defenders of Lighthouse City had never expected that the Cliff City army, which was supposed to be a reinforcement, would launch an attack all of a sudden.
But fortunately, Bart had already made sufficient preparations. The arrows and stones for defending the city had already been prepared. In addition, the army of Cliff City was not as good at attacking the city as the Wolf Mercenary Group, so they barely resisted it in a short time.
Bart fought and shouted, "Brother Thomas! What do you mean?"
I saw Thomas under the city wall with red eyes, his face full of anger and shouted: "Green is inhumane, poisoned my father, the whole army, capture Lighthouse City, and capture Green!"
As Thomas shouted, the soldiers of Cliff City attacked the city more violently.
Bart's face turned pale with shock, and he said loudly, "Brother Thomas! Lord Green and Lord Linde have been best friends for many years. How could he do such a thing?"
Thomas sneered: "My father received Green's handwritten letter. When he opened the letter, he was poisoned on the letter, and now he is seriously ill in bed. The evidence is solid, and you can't quibble! Siege the city! Capture Green and seek justice for my father !"
Bart yelled while fighting: "Brother Thomas, this must be a misunderstanding! There must be some misunderstanding!"
However, Thomas didn't listen at all, and just urged the army to attack the city.
Although the defenders of Lighthouse City resisted at first, the number of them was too small after all. In less than ten minutes, soldiers from Cliff City successfully rushed up the city wall, and one after another more and more soldiers from Cliff City climbed onto the wall. Go up the city wall.
Bart gritted his teeth and endured the pain in his shoulder and fought. He became more and more anxious. There were too few defenders, and the defense line was about to collapse!
At this moment, hundreds of defenders of Lighthouse City rushed out from the rear and joined the battle. Jesse, the captain of the first brigade, also joined the battle. The battle line finally stabilized, and gradually pushed the soldiers of Cliff City who climbed the city wall back out of the city .
Not long after that, City Lord Green, Shirley and several generals also arrived.
Just now, Lord Green, Shirley and several generals were still discussing military affairs in the conference room, and then they suddenly received the news that the army of Cliff City was attacking the city, and the two hurried over.
Lord Green was shocked when he saw the situation in front of him.
Last night, Lord Green listened to Shirley's reminder and strengthened the North City's defense force just in case.However, I didn't expect the army of Cliff City to really attack the city!
Thomas under the city kept urging the army to attack the city. As soon as he saw Shirley coming, he immediately called for gold to withdraw his troops.Then he pointed at City Lord Green and yelled: "Old Dog Green! You ungrateful person! My father regards you as a life and death friend, but you poisoned him. I will kill you!"
Lord Green was scolded with a confused face, Bart hurriedly stepped forward to explain the reason, and City Lord Green was dumbfounded again.
Lord Green stepped up to the city wall and shouted: "Thomas! Your father and I are life and death friends. He once saved my life, and I have no conflicts with him. I have no reason to harm him at all!"
Thomas said with an even more angry expression: "Old Dog Green! You still pretend! That letter is obviously yours, and it also has official sealing wax. My father was the first to open it, and then he was poisoned by the poison on the letter. Evidence Indeed, you are still sophistry! Siege! Whoever captures Green for me will be promoted to three ranks and rewarded with a hundred taels of gold!"
Thomas was so angry that he directly attacked the city regardless of Shirley's presence.
So a siege battle started again. Shirley drew her sword and rushed forward, mercilessly beheading the soldiers who climbed the city wall one by one.
Thomas saw that as long as Shirley was around, his army would suffer heavy casualties, so he gritted his teeth and immediately called back the troops.Then retreated a few hundred meters to station the army.
Lord Green cast a worried look at Thomas' army, left behind the defenders, and returned to the meeting room with Shirley and other generals.
In the conference room, Lord Green slapped the table angrily and said angrily, "What's going on? How could Thomas suddenly think that I poisoned his father? I have no reason to do such a thing!"
The generals around looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one could understand why this happened.
A general guessed: "Could this be a plot to frame the evil wolf mercenaries?"
There were many people around immediately echoed.
Jesse, the captain of the first brigade, guessed: "Could it be that the evil wolf mercenary group poisoned the letter you wrote to City Lord Linde?"
Lord Green immediately retorted: "Impossible! All the letters I wrote to Linde have my special sealing wax. If someone else opened it, Linde would not have known about it! It is impossible for the wolf mercenary group to be here. The letter was poisoned."
Everyone discussed for a while, since it is impossible for the letter to be tampered with, everyone couldn't figure out how the wolf mercenary group framed Lord Green.
A general guessed: "Could it be that Thomas himself poisoned his father, and then planted it on the city lord, using this as an excuse to attack the city?"
Bart immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible, let's not talk about why Thomas has any reason to help the wolf mercenary group. I know Thomas's character very well. He is a dutiful son. He once helped his father because his wife and father quarreled. He ran away with three wives in anger, and was dubbed by the folks as a man who is handsome and rich, but he must never marry. How could such a person betray his father?"
Everyone was silent again.
Lord Green gritted his teeth and said, "I want to go out of the city and talk to him in person."
The surrounding generals immediately stopped him.
Adjutant Borg said: "It's absolutely impossible! You are our backbone, Lord City Lord, and you must not have any accidents! How about we send an envoy to talk to him?"
Lord Green sighed and nodded.
So everyone selected an eloquent civil servant from among the officials of Lighthouse City, and sent him as an envoy to Thomas.
After the messenger went out to meet Thomas, the crowd waited anxiously at the city wall.
Then, an hour later, the messenger with all his limbs broken was thrown back to the city gate.When everyone saw the messenger whose limbs were broken, their hearts sank.
Everyone knows that when the two armies are at war, it is an unwritten rule not to be beheaded.Now that the envoy has been beaten like this, it is enough to see Thomas' anger.
Under the city wall, Lord Green looked at the envoy who was carried back, and asked the doctor who rushed over: "How is it? Can it be recovered?"
The doctor hurriedly said: "Fortunately, his bones did not have a comminuted fracture. As long as he takes time, he will recover one day."
Lord Green nodded and sighed, "Remember to give him the best treatment."
So the messenger was taken away.
Not long after the envoy was brought back, Thomas brought a few soldiers outside the city and yelled at them. The soldiers he brought also followed him and yelled at him.
Bart, who was familiar with Thomas, was filled with disbelief.Thomas is a very educated person, but now he is so angry that he yells.
Lord Green walked up to the city wall and said sincerely to Thomas: "Thomas, I guarantee my life that I really did not harm your father. If you want, please take out the letter that poisoned your father. We Let’s carefully discern the true origin of this letter together.”
Thomas sneered and said, "Fart! That letter has your special sealing wax on it, and it's written in your own handwriting. If you don't want to admit it, you can find any reason! If you really have a hint of repentance, you old dog, Come out and follow me back to Cliff City! Otherwise, when I break through your Beacon City, it will be your death!"
City Lord Green showed a hesitant look, and Bart quickly said: "City Lord, you can't go with him! You're close to death if you go like this!"
Lord Green sighed and nodded. "I know, let's go."
So everyone left the city wall.
***
At this time, the wolf mercenary regiment camped ten miles away from the east gate of Lighthouse City. The fourth brother, Agui, who had a broken arm, was holding a telescope and looking at Thomas' barracks outside the north gate. The regiment leader Ali stood by his side.
Ajiao put down his binoculars and sneered, "Thomas boy, I didn't expect to be so cunning. He deliberately brought an unreasonable number of troops, and he started to charge and attack the city when it was not a short distance from the lighthouse city. This is clearly He is reminding the defenders of Beacon City that he is going to attack the city, so that the defenders of Beacon City can react. Brother, this kid is so cunning, isn’t he afraid that we will interrupt his father’s medicine?”
Ali smiled and said: "Hehe, it's enough for him to do what he is doing now. We threatened him to attack Beacon City with his father's life at first, but we didn't point out that he really captured Beacon City. Our ultimate goal is I want him to weaken the lighthouse city's defense force, or drag down part of the lighthouse city's army."
Ali paused, and continued: "We forced Thomas to attack the city. Thomas didn't want to attack, but he was afraid that we would interrupt his father's medicine, so he made such a half-truth and half-fake siege scene for us to watch."
"Before he attacked the city, he did everything possible to remind the people in Beacon City that he was going to attack, so that Beacon City could make preparations in advance, and only [-]% of the force was used to attack the city. Then he was worried that the people in Beacon City would know that he was attacking the city falsely, which led to the drama It was too fake, and we found out that he was acting, so he deliberately pretended to hate Lord Green, so that the people of Lighthouse City would not know that he was fake attacking the city, and they would deal with it with all their strength. In this way, he The siege scene will be realistic."
Ajiao sneered: "But he still couldn't fool us in the end. He dared to deal with us like this. Should we remind him?"
Ali smiled and said: "Hehe, he has achieved this level, which is enough for us. Because while he wanted to deceive us, he also deceived the Lighthouse City, making the Lighthouse City think that he was really attacking the city and forcing the Lighthouse to attack the city. The city expends troops to defend him, which has achieved our goal. You can’t force people too much, otherwise you may jump over the wall in a hurry. Well, but it’s good to give him a reminder, let him perform his tricks more realistically, and use it when he sieges the city Some strength. He only uses [-]% of his strength to attack the city now, at least let him use [-] to [-]% of his strength to attack the city. The amount of yellow spring grass that will be sent to his father later should be reduced by half."
Ah Qiao chuckled. "OK."
118. Domestic reinforcements
The generals returned to the meeting room.
Jesse, the captain of the first brigade, gritted his teeth and said, "How could this happen? The wolf mercenary group is clearly facing the enemy now. Thomas, who was supposed to be a reinforcement, has turned into an enemy! And he doesn't listen to us at all!"
A general worried: "If Thomas and the wolf mercenary group attack the city at the same time, what will we do? There are not enough troops, and General Shirley can't run at both ends. Once they enter the city, it will be bad."
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere in the meeting room was heavy. The situation in Beacon City, which had been improving, suddenly deteriorated.
At this time, the adjutant Boge said: "Don't worry, don't we still have reinforcements from various cities in the country? The 1500 reinforcements from Daofu City, and the four cities of Lushuicheng, Caopo City, Dora City, and Qingxi City combined The 820 reinforcements, these reinforcements will arrive one after another at noon today. As long as we have these reinforcements and General Shirley around, we still have enough troops to resist the attacks from both sides at the same time."
When Borg said this, a general beat his palm with his fist and said happily: "Yes! There are a total of 2300 reinforcements from the country. Including our original defenders, our Lighthouse City has close to 5000 troops, which is completely enough. The strength of the troops can defend the walls on both sides!"
The surrounding generals nodded.Although Thomas had become an enemy, the situation had not deteriorated beyond repair.
Lord Green nodded and said: "Yes, but we still have to maintain a [-]-point alert. The domestic reinforcements will arrive at noon, and we are still in a state of serious shortage of troops before the reinforcements arrive. If they attack the city at the same time during this period, it will be troublesome. Therefore, the whole army is raised to the highest state of combat readiness, strictly preventing the enemy from attacking!"
All the generals immediately answered in unison:
"""Yes!"""
