Chapter 100

"Damn it!"

Under a wide city wall, soldiers were stained with blood and rushed forward madly to capture the strong city erected in front.

In the distance, there is a huge military camp, in which there are several particularly tall platforms on which people are watching the war.

Barrett looked at the glued war ahead and his face was a little ugly: "in three months, it was just a city that blocked my 50000 troops for so long?"

Seeing him like this, around him, some officers and nobles also sighed slightly and expressed shock at the current situation.

Originally, the Principality of yingdeli has been established for hundreds of years and is one of the most powerful powers in the northern region. After the contemporary king Barit succeeded to the throne, he was invincible, calmed down several other old principalities that had originally competed with him one by one, and almost swept the whole northern region.

This time, there was not only pressure from the king's court, but also the idea of once and for all. He wanted to calm the whole northern region in one fell swoop, and then went south when the king's court couldn't move at the moment. Therefore, it has almost poured out, 50000 troops have been dispatched, and the prestige is amazing. In the past, no force could stop it. It was surprising that he was still blocked by the enemy.

Thinking of this in their hearts, they admire it. At the same time, their attitude is particularly serious and feel the pressure.

A nobleman came forward and looked at Barrett with a gloomy face in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, we have just received the news from the rear. There are not many slave soldiers, and at the same time, there is a shortage of food."

Suddenly, Barrett was slightly stunned: "have you died?"

He looked up to the front, looked at the pieces of corpses and blood on the earth, his face could not see sadness and joy, and said, "how many people have we lost these days?"

Seeing him say so, the people below looked at each other and dared not answer.

Seeing this scene, the nobleman who came out before sighed slightly and understood that these people did not dare to stand out and fell ill when the king was in a bad mood.

You know, Barrett's temper was not very good, even cruel. Because of his recent defeat in the siege, Barrett was in a bad mood. Some time ago, he even hacked one of his favorite concubines to death because the other party accidentally broke a wine glass.

Under such circumstances, these people naturally do not dare to come forward, so as not to cause death for themselves.

He walked up with a stiff head, stared at Barrett's gloomy eyes and said, "in terms of war slaves, because our attack was too fierce before, coupled with the powerful bow and crossbow of the other party, almost 70% of the war had been lost, leaving only a few thousand people."

"The Knights also suffered serious losses. Three thousand were killed and seriously injured in the war, and the other minor injuries could be cured. There were also seven or eight thousand people, almost all of whom were affected by the other party's bow and crossbow and magic."

Hearing him say this, Barrett frowned and said nothing, but his originally gloomy and tyrannical eyes suddenly calmed down and seemed very silent.

After a long time, he looked up again: "that is to say, we have almost killed nearly 10000 people and seriously injured tens of thousands of others?"

"Yes!" a voice came from the other side and silently responded to him.

The scene seemed a little silent for a moment. After a moment, another burly man in armor and with scars on his face stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, why should you worry?"

"The strength of yadixu principality was not as good as ours, not to mention that the number of troops at this time was less than half of ours. Although it was guarded by the city wall, it should not be able to sustain until now!"

"After all, we still have tens of thousands of slave soldiers to consume, but the other party can only use soldiers to defend the city wall. Up to now, it can support three months. It is very great. It must have exhausted most of its strength."

Hearing this, Barrett nodded in agreement.

After all, this is a common sense. When the number and strength of our own side occupy a great advantage, we still feel very difficult and some can't support it, let alone the other side. It must be more difficult and even be broken in a period of time.

He looked up to the front and observed the battlefield that was still going on at this time.

"Sure enough, the strength of resistance is much weaker!"

He said silently in his heart.

I saw that at the moment, on the wall, the originally solid and stable defense line began to fluctuate slowly, and soldiers rushed to the wall from time to time. Although it is still well defended, it has been greatly weakened compared with three months ago.

"Give orders. Let the rear dispatch some slave soldiers and knights. At the same time, issue a recruitment order to let the Lords send troops again for reinforcements. Be sure to keep the offensive."

"At the same time, order the small city states attached to us, order them to send food, and kill them when they are responsible!"

He shook his fist hard. In his body, a little terrible fighting spirit was brewing and seemed to break out: "this month, be sure to break through Cecil!"

When he was like this, he suddenly saw a figure below. His face was dignified and he said yes.

But there are also some voices of concern.

"However, your highness, those affiliated city states have already dispatched their troops to attack the Duchy of yadixu in response to our call. Will they complain if they are forced to send food again?"

One hesitated.

After all, the food needed by tens of thousands of troops is not a small amount. These small city states, which originally responded to sending troops, are already fighting with their national strength under the majesty of the Principality of England. If they continue to oppress like this, there may be some accidents.

However, Barrett smiled contemptuously: "what about a group of waste people who can't break even some Castle lines with few troops, even if they are dissatisfied?"

"As long as our army is still there, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can only lie down and ignore it."

He looked at the people in front of him, his face with indifference: "the most important thing now is this war. As long as we win and capture Cecil City, there will be no enemy to counter us in this vast northern region!"

"Beauty, wealth and land can all be plundered from the enemy. At that time, those small cities can only kneel under our feet and dare not make a sound."

When he said this, he had the slightest tyrannical and creepy temperament, and a momentum that was frightening.

Seeing Barrett like this, he was right in the hearts of all the people present and understood that he could not disobey at this time.

So, the audience was silent for a moment.
