Chapter 290 Red Fire Dragon, the enemy’s conspiracy

"Predict an army of 100,000 people?!"

A startled shout came through the spacious and bright palace.

Yilor was sitting on the throne, holding a letter in his hand. After reading it, he couldn't believe it.

"Could it be that they made a miscalculation?"

The officials below made guesses.

"I am not a fool. If I can estimate such a large army, I think the number of enemies will not be similar."

Yilor shook his head.

If there were really an army of 100,000, then the cities in the St. Vena Mountains would be in danger.

Even if he integrated all the troops in the country, it would be difficult for him to raise 100,000, let alone the previous loss of more than 30,000.

"Convey my king's order to all places, and ask all the lords to mobilize 70% of the troops in their territories to rush to the east. Tell them that a hundred thousand troops are invading from the east. There is an old saying in the east: under the overthrow of the nest, there will be Complete egg!"

"Yes!" the herald replied, turned around and walked out.

The finance minister below asked aloud: "Your Majesty, won't the royal capital send reinforcements?"

Yilor said coldly: "The royal capital is a top priority and we cannot easily mobilize the defenders. Has Sarold recovered?

He was ordered to lead 5,000 legion guards and the Empire's First Infantry Regiment to rush to the Eastern Territory for support, and was named the Grand Marshal of the Eastern Territory to lead reinforcements from all over the country to resist the enemy. "

Yilor quickly wrote an appointment order, then stamped it with a red seal symbolizing the king's identity, and then ordered it to be handed over to Sarode.

After dismissing the people in the palace, a sad look appeared on Yilor's face.

If he had known that the other party was so powerful, why would he provoke him...

Although the division of the domestic nobility can now be resolved, the population and resources of the cities in the St. Vena Mountains... are likely to suffer heavy losses.

Comparing the two, Yiluo suddenly felt that the gains outweighed the losses.

.........

St.Vina Mountains.

Qin Yu led a team of Blood Pact Wolf Riders to the valley camp.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Yu Qian came back with a few people.

Qin Yu waved his hand: "You don't have to kneel down when you are out on an expedition."

"Have the prisoners been properly placed? Don't keep them to join the army after they starve to death."

After hearing this, Yu Qian quickly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, all the prisoners have been properly placed."

Qin Yu nodded slightly and said, "I am here mainly to increase the defense of the valley camp. You can go about your business."

Qin Yu waved his hand and then found a slightly higher location in the camp, and then two blue lights appeared in his hand.

[Automatic crossbow tower: a product of ancient martial arts civilization. Reserve crossbow arrows in advance to achieve a continuous firing effect. It is more powerful than a bed crossbow. The range can reach 300 meters. Human control is simpler and more convenient. It can also shoot automatically to follow the set direction. Human body heat can be used to fire crossbow arrows. A continuous shot from this arrow tower will definitely be the end of the siege equipment. 】

After taking a look at the introduction, Qin Yu couldn't help but wonder, what would be the power if thunder copper arrows were put in?

"Are there any of those large crossbow arrows made of thunder copper among the baggage you brought?" Qin Yu asked, turning his head.

"Your Majesty, I'll go to the baggage camp and ask."

The Forbidden Army soldier cupped his hands and rushed to the baggage camp.

After a while, the Forbidden Army soldier came over with a team of people carrying several large boxes.

"Your Majesty, they are all here. There are only more than six hundred in total."

"It's quite a lot, let it go."

Qin Yu waved his hand and threw out the two blue lights in his hand.

The blue light flew straight out and fell to two slightly higher mountains.

As the blue light suddenly appeared, a giant crossbow tower suddenly emerged from the ground and stood tall.

The violent vibrations attracted many people's attention.

Qin Yu looked around and saw that the arrow tower was nearly ten meters high.

At the top is a huge bed crossbow that can fire three crossbow arrows in a row.

The lower part is divided into five layers, and each layer has rows of holes like a hornet's nest, which are places where small arrows are fired.

Each layer has about thirty holes, so the five layers add up to one hundred and fifty holes.

In other words, if this arrow tower continuously fires crossbow arrows, it can shoot thousands or even thousands of arrows per minute.

If the giant bed crossbow at the top is paired with a giant thunder copper crossbow arrow, its power can be said to be comparable to that of a cannon.

Moreover, it is a thunder cannon with a penetrating effect, and it fires three consecutive rounds!

The top bed crossbow can fire three bursts of crossbows approximately every fifteen seconds.

The hole below can be reloaded and fired every three or four seconds.

The operation is also very simple, just pile piles of arrows into it, and the arrow tower will automatically fill every hole.

Launching is divided into human control and automatic shooting.

Artificial intelligence means that you can manually control the direction of the arrow rain, which can be used to cause large-scale damage.

Automation is the ability to capture heat energy in a certain direction to achieve precise shooting with automatic aiming.

As expected, an arrow tower can reach the quality of blue, and its power is indeed extraordinary.

How different is the defensive capability of these two arrow towers from the power of several cannons and machine guns?

In this way, Qin Yu was completely relieved about the defense of the valley camp.

At the same time, the Forbidden Soldier on the side frowned, and then took out the communication bug and put it to his ear.

After a moment, he raised his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the scouts following the enemy's fourth reinforcement force have discovered an enemy city. The target of those reinforcements is also that city."

Qin Yu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Return to the river camp immediately!"

As the words fell, the team left the valley camp and rushed all the way back to the river camp.

……

River camp, inside the military tent.

"Reporting to your Majesty, the enemy's city is nearly sixteen miles away from the river camp."

"It's easy for the army, but the siege equipment is difficult!"

"The catapult is small and can be pushed slowly, but the siege tower is too big..."

Inside the military tent, there were different opinions.

Qin Yu waved his hand and said: "Send shadow guards to sneak into the city to investigate the situation of the defenders. The catapults will be pulled by horses first. There is no need to bring the siege tower. As for the siege team, we are not sure yet. We will make a decision after we find out the situation of the defenders."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and then walked out one after another.

Noon the next day.

Two shadow guards in purple snake uniforms lifted the curtain from outside the military tent and walked in.

"Your Majesty, there are approximately 30,000 troops in the city. Thirty percent of them are new soldiers who seem to have been forcibly recruited from the people in the city. Sixty percent of the army are elves."

The two of them knelt on one knee and reported in a deep voice.

Qin Yu nodded slightly and thought for a moment before speaking out: "Send the order, order Hu Po to lead two thousand dog warriors, as well as the orc and goblin legions to march towards the enemy city first."

"With Mu Yuan as the commander-in-chief, he will lead 3,000 slingers, 2,000 grizzly bear warriors, 6,000 affiliated civilized coalition troops, 2,000 archers and 5,000 spear troops, and prepare to march immediately."

"Yes! I'll take my leave!"

After hearing this, the two shadow guards bowed and bowed, then turned and left.

"Call You Ming to come."

Qin Yu shouted loudly.

The Imperial Guards standing guard outside responded and then hurried to report.

After a while, You Ming hurried over.

"The last general, You Ming, pays homage to your Majesty." "Get up and order three thousand dragon cavalry battalions to follow me to the front army to suppress the formation." Qin Yu said with a smile.

"The last general takes orders!"

You Ming cupped his hands and went out to order troops.

Qin Yu also slowly stood up and followed with twenty of the emperor's heavy cavalry.

Large numbers of troops began to rush towards the enemy city more than ten miles away.

The elf scouts lurking in the forest quickly rushed back after noticing the enemy's movements.

On the way, more than 20 scouts died inexplicably, and more than a dozen of them died. In the end, only three people survived and fled back to the city.

In the quiet forest, several purple figures appeared.

"These elves are really agile. Three of them escaped."

"The perception is not weak. There is nothing we can do. Just try your best. Let's rush back."

After the words fell, several shadow guards entered the invisible state again and shuttled quickly through the forest.

.........

.........

Forest City.

The three elves walked into the city panting, the panic on their faces not dissipating.

One of them was hit by an arrow in the shoulder, and his lips had turned purple. He was obviously poisoned.

"These enemies are so insidious, they even coat their arrows with poison!"

"We will help you find the high priest. The high priest can save you!"

The three of them ran quickly to the Natural Temple.

After a while.

High Priest Natasha retracted her hands.

The scout who was originally poisoned was surrounded by a green energy full of vitality, and his originally purple lips had returned to normal.

"Tell me about the situation." Natasha sighed.

"Reporting to the high priest, the enemy's army has begun to approach the Forest City, and they should be attacking the city soon."

"Which direction?"

"North!"

"Notice immediately, the whole city is on alert! It is forbidden to enter or leave the city!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the backs of several scouts leaving, Natasha fell into deep thought.

If the enemy is the enemy they invaded a few days ago, whether the Forest City can be defended, to be honest, she already has the answer in her heart.

Can't hold on at all.

They don't have long bows that can release thunder arrows, nor spears that can control thunder and lightning, nor a group of magicians who can summon countless towering vines...

Most of the elves in Forest City are warriors, archers, and rangers.

There are only a few dozen elf magicians with magician talents and certain combat effectiveness, and the power of natural magic... Needless to say, just think about it...

While she was pacing alone in the hall, feeling sad, a Templar knight suddenly spoke slowly:

"Your Excellency Natasha, I think I have a way to repel the enemy."

Natasha was stunned. She raised her head slightly and asked loudly, "You tell me."

The Templar knight nodded slightly:

"Deep in the mountains to the east, the red-skinned red fire dragon has just laid eggs. As long as we steal the eggs and send them to the enemy's camp, the female dragon will pour out her anger on the enemy!"

Natasha shook her head and the seductive curves on her body swayed: "Such despicable things are really unworthy of the teachings of the God of Nature."

"High Priest! Isn't the enemy more sinister and cunning than us? We can't repay kindness with kindness. This is war!" the Templars objected.

Natasha's voice suddenly became stern:

"If you treat evil people like evil people, what's the difference between you and evil people! What's more, what does this war have to do with the Red Fire Dragon? You have to sacrifice other people's children!"

The Templar shook his head and suddenly said calmly: "Our Majesty massacred tens of thousands of civilians in other people's territory. Your High Priest, think about the 60,000 elves and 40,000 civilians in the city. How many lives are there?" Huh? If the city is destroyed, can we, everyone, still survive?"

After the words fell, Natasha suddenly fell silent, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "Then go ahead, bring your team of knights, and complete this mission... I wish you success."

The Templar Knight slowly walked to the door and turned slightly sideways: "I wish the city of Forest is safe."

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the Templar Knight disappeared.

.........

3pm.

A total of more than 50,000 troops all rushed to Forest City, 800 meters away to the north.

Qin Yu observed the city from a distance. The entire city wall was made of bricks and stones. It was at least eight meters high and the thickness could not be seen. There were many crossbows on the city wall. It seemed that a lot of human military equipment had been introduced.

At this time, there were many figures on the city wall who were on alert. It seemed that they had learned about the march in advance.

But after thinking about it, I know that it is difficult to conceal every small movement of such a large army.

"The whole army is preparing for a moment and preparing to attack the city! The generals of each army will discuss matters in their tents!"

Qin Yu shouted and went back to the military tent.

The main reason for making Mu Yuan the commander-in-chief this time was his talent.

[Talent: Open up territory (lower level A)]

[Effect: When fighting foreign enemies within the territory, the three attributes of the army commanded under his command will be increased by 50%: force, size, and agility. 】

The talent of opening up new territories can increase the combat power of the army by 50%!

This makes the army's siege speed faster.

But it seems that for Goblins, the increase is 50%, and the difference is not too big.

Soon after, everyone walked into the military tent.

"Before attacking the city, plan the siege plan first. Should you attack one side with all your strength, or feign attack on a few sides, and attack with force."

Qin Yu looked at the people below and asked.

"Your Majesty, we have nearly 800 catapults. We have thrown them over the wall several times, but they were crushed by him. We are still using feint attacks!"

You Ming hummed, his loud voice making the ears of those around him buzzing.

"Idiot, after the city is captured, we still have to go in. How can you defend the city wall if it is destroyed?"

Qin Yu glanced at You Ming and said speechlessly.

You Ming chuckled and said nothing.

Mu Yuan glanced at the people around him and then said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that we feint to confuse the enemy while attacking with force to quickly attack the city wall."

"can."

Qin Yu nodded in agreement.

Some strategies may seem simple, but they are indeed simple, but they work!

How can the enemy tell whether a feint is really a feint?

Even if it is, he doesn't dare to deal with it accidentally, after all, they can never be 100% sure.

Once miscalculated, the people of the city, the army in the city, and the city will all be lost.

The second is to confuse people, but also to attack the mind.

"Then let the orcs and goblin legions, totaling more than 28,000, pretend to attack the north wall, and Mu Yuan will lead the rest of the army to storm the east wall!"

"Go down and get ready!"
