Chapter 358 Entering the city alone
"Raven!?"
Earl Frank stood up and shaking the table, and the wine glass on it was about to fall down.
Bang.
A fair and slender hand held the wine glass firmly and put it back on the table.
"Oh, don't be so excited, Earl Frank."
Raven sat leisurely opposite Frank, smiling:
"So disobedient, he doesn't look like a nobleman The style that should be done. ”
It’s really Lei Wen!
Frank simply couldn't believe his eyes.
Since the war has been going on, no one does not know Lei Wen's appearance as a nobleman in the Principal of Aivol.
It is said that Evor VIII also used Raven's portrait as a target, shooting arrows every day to relieve boredom.
Compared with the portrait, the real Lei Wen is less sinister and vicious, more elegant and lenient, and has a kind of calmness and confidence that comes from his bones.
That temperament is a thickness that is not consistent with his young appearance. "How dare you show up here?" Frank held the sword around his waist with his hand, and the purple lightning trumpet burst out, causing the dust on the ground to float.
"I advise you to calm down." Lei Wen said lightly: "Sit down, let's have a drink and talk slowly."
"After all, I'm here this time, It's not to kill you."
Frank smiled coldly, and just as he was about to speak, his neck suddenly became cold, and a sharp and slender nail rested on his throat.
And his afterglow also caught a glimpse of the person behind him: "William!? Is it you!?"
No wonder, since that day, William and Ernada have disappeared together.
It turns out that the two of them were actually spies sent by Lei Wen. "You can't escape if you kill me now." Frank said with his neck thorn.
"I said, Earl Frank, I don't plan to kill you, but if you have to die, I can't stop you." Lei Wen said:
"But, others It is hard to say whether people can keep me like you expect. "
Frank took a deep breath, slowly let go of his hand holding the hilt of the sword, and his fighting spirit retreated.
Lei Wen was able to touch it quietly, which has shown a lot.
What's more, Lei Wen has many Feng Wang troops.
Even if you are surrounded, King Feng risked his life to enter the city, he could still guard Lei Wen back.
But Lei Wen was the head coach of the first army after all, and he was willing to risk his life to come to Bolan City...
The question came from Earl Frank's mouth: "What do you want to do?"
"Sit down and let's talk slowly." Raven pointed to Frank's original seat:
"After all, , the night is still long."
The sharp nails were taken from Frank's neck. He took a deep breath and sat back in his seat, but he did not give up the idea of attacking Lei Wen, his eyes were always on Lei Wen's Hovering on the throat and heart.
And Lei Wen seemed to have not seen it:
"I'm here this time to negotiate a deal with you."
"But before that, we need to reach a consensus-
That is, sooner or later, Boland City will be "
Frank's heart sank, but he still sneered: "Since that's the case, what are you doing here? When we can't hold on, you'll pick it Wouldn't the fruit of victory be good? ”
Lei Wen was not angry and continued to talk: "It is not a good habit to ignore the facts."
"I have been stationed in the city for more than a month, and intercepted three batches of logistics supplies in succession. During this period, you even I don't even have the courage to go out of the city to test it."
"I know you are saving food, and you will not hesitate to starve your people to death for this. But even if you collect grain from the whole city and only serve the army for food, the grain in the city can still support it. How long? "4 months? 5 months? Or half a year?" "
"I have to remind you that not every body can be found. After summer, only water sources can be found There is a contaminated corpse inside, which may cause plague."
"How many people can still go to the city and fight?"
"Oh by the way, let alone the low morale you have brought to blockade the four doors."
Frank's face became gloomy every time Raven said a word.
He knew that Lei Wen was telling the truth.
In the city, he understood the unbearable predicament in the city better than Lei Wen, but he could only feel like he was trapped in a nightmare, watching everything going towards corruption, but he was powerless.
"So what?" Frank stared into Raven's eyes: "At least, before that, we still have the courage to fight to the death."
"You may not be able to surpass us if you have less than 20,000 troops under your command. 130,000 troops! "
Leiwen smiled when he heard this, without hiding his disdain: " "Just because you missed the Battle of Thorn Ridge?"
Frank It was like being slapped, with a pale face. I opened my mouth several times but couldn't say a word that could be refuted.
The Battle of Thorn Ridge, with Viscount Fowler and 2,000 warriors dead, will surely become a classic battle spread on the mainland.
It even surpassed the Principality of Evor itself.
This is also an indelible pain point in Frank's heart.
Because although he was in the main battle at that time, he was asking to pick up Viscount Fowler, he even had the idea of leading the army alone in the decisive battle with Lei Wen.
But Prime Minister Gattugen's secret order forced him to hold him down.
The reasons are all very legitimate - the Principality cannot withstand another failure. It is necessary to integrate these 130,000 troops and squeeze them into one fist to steadily fight Lei Wen.
However, when the battle of Thorn Ridge was settled, Frank realized what he had missed.
If I could participate in that battle, even if I failed, even if Viscount Fowler could not be saved, Frank believed that the Ever's army would have a completely different look.
But there is no regret potion in the world to take.
The fact is that they have an army of 130,000, but they are watching the 2,000 friendly troops that have been defending for two months be wiped out.
It also made the nobles in the city develop a mentality of giving up.
Even Frank himself was doubting - even if he left the city and fought against Raven, would he really win?
Lei Wen's appearance made his thoughts clearer.
As the head coach of the first army, Lei Wen dared to venture into Bolan City. What would the army brought out by a person with such courage and confidence look like?
Not to mention, before, they had won consecutive victories, and each battle was a classic war that won with less and was enough to be a case in military teaching materials!
Although morale and momentum are things that sound unrealistic, looking at the history of war is a factor that cannot be ignored in war. "It seems you understand too." Lei Wen looked at the …~~~ pattern on his finger:
"Then, we have the premise and foundation for trading. .”
“I remember that the one you were in charge of garrison was the south gate of Bolan City.”
“Five days later, that is, on January 6, 200, I will go from garrison to the south of Bolan City The city gate launches an attack. At that time, I hope that Count Frank can be used as an insider and open the door."
Dong!
The table cracked directly, and Frank's long sword wrapped around the lightning, and appeared in Lei Wen's throat: "You are insulting me!"
Leven's fingers lit up A dark red blood color gently placed on the blade.
The next moment, the lightning rushing swayed on the sword's edge disappeared and the snow melted.
.
Lei Wen's fingers flashed, and the blade broke from the middle and shattered in response to the sound, like a broken ice.
Frank was stunned.
Although this is just a sword, it is also an enchanted weapon!
What's going on with that red light?
Fighting spirit?
Cultivate fighting spirit and magic at the same time?
This is the worst plot that will no longer appear in third-rate novels!
Levin certainly would not explain to him kindly, but just shrugged: "I don't want another next time."
Frank sweated down coldly. Before this, although he had been listening to Raven, he had always taken the initiative psychologically - he was subdued by William before, just because he lacked vigilance.
If he wants, he can burn his hands with Lei Wen at any time.
However, Lei Wen took action, but it broke the fantasy in his heart.
Leiwen can really kill him!
How could there be such a monster in the world?
The magical genius is so terrifying in melee combat!
"...You are indeed very strong." Frank hissed: "But I will never betray my country!"
"I said, this It's just a transaction." Lei Wen said: "Since it's a transaction, both of us will benefit."
"What I want is the actual control of Boland City, the victory of the war. How many people you kill is not my purpose."
"And Earl Frank, since you are loyal to the motherland, you should have more Thinking about the Principal of Evor."
Raven said slowly, as if discussing where to drink afternoon tea, but what he said seemed to be trapped in the mud.
"If you continue to confront each other, I believe that you will unify your opinions and attack me before the food is exhausted."
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in one 6-9, one book, one bar, one read!
"And I will definitely win!"
"That means I will also suffer a considerable loss, but after all these 130,000 troops were destroyed, how much strength does your Aivol have? "
"Indeed, so far, this war is just my personal reckless act, and at most it has been brought in the province of Nord." "But our king is not a mediocre master, he I will definitely see my value, and there will be no shortage of reinforcements. At that time, can you still block our iron hooves? "
Frank doesn't want to listen to Raven's nonsense, but those words are just getting into it. His ears penetrated into his mind, forcing him to think.
"No, there's something wrong." Frank argued forcibly: "War is always full of surprises. We don't expect to lose this battle!"
Levin did not get angry at all, but nodded seriously instead. : "If you Aivor had such a force in the Battle of Iron Birch, then this is indeed true."
"But it's different now."
Frank asked, "You Why do you say that? "
Lei Wen smiled slightly, the ring on his hand shone slightly, and a snowflake-like letter fell on the ground, forming a small parchment mountain.
"This is part of the content of our transaction next."
"There are 7 viscounts, 31 barons, and 107 knights."
"None of them would want to go against me. ”
Frank's brows pounded wildly.
As one of the leaders in Bolan City today, he knows the composition of the army well.
In the team, there are 11 viscounts, 53 barons, and 219 knights.
The people who secretly talked with Lei Wen actually occupied more than half of the army!
Indeed, writing a letter to Lei Wen does not mean that you really want to sell the interests of the Principality.
But such people cannot face any pressure. When they encounter cruel battles, they will become black sheep!
"So, think about it." Lei Wen said:
"Where are you, letting me go into the city; and I can hand over all these letters to you."
"In this way, I won the war and you can lead the great ones Some of the troops withdrew, then removed the stinky fish and shrimps from the team, pinched them into a fist, preparing for the more cruel war. "
Frank was moved by Raven, and he sat back Going to the chair, he said in a low voice: "But there is a problem. What are the benefits of doing this?" "If our country completes military integration, you will face it A bigger problem, if I were you, I would definitely consume as much of our soldiers as possible in this battle.”
Lei Wen spread his hands and showed full honesty: "Just as I said before, our king is not a mediocre master, and he will definitely send troops to support him."
"And the leader will definitely It's a certain count, I'm just a little baron."
"At that time, the dominant leader on the battlefield will no longer be me, and in contrast, your main opponent will no longer be me. "
"The bones I don't need to chew. What's the point of being harder?"
Frank nodded slowly.
This is a very appropriate reason.
The interests of the state do not equal the interests of the nobles.
The subsequent reinforcements of the Cairns Empire will definitely try their best to pick peaches and squeeze Lei Wen to the edge of the battlefield.
Raven wants to win Bolan City before that and maximize the interests, which is indeed a choice a qualified noble will have.
"...I get it." Frank took a deep breath: "I can agree to your request, but I also have one."
"Since it's a transaction, people must be allowed to bargain." Lei Wen said generously: "What do you want?"
"I'll give these letters to me now." Frank said.
"The Count is joking. Now give them to you. If you break the appointment, wouldn't I become a fool?" Lei Wen smiled and said, "Let's make a move."
"Where I, I will give you 10 names first, all of them are nobles under your command; when I really take down Bolan City, I will give you all the remaining letters."
Frank twitched his mouth: "...Okay, one word is certain."
"So, I wish us a happy cooperation." Lei Wen stood up, snapped his fingers, and a whirlwind blew by, and the letter paper on the ground was rolled up and sucked into the space ring.
Lei Wen picked up the quill and wrote down ten names on the coffee table next to him.
"Goodbye, Earl Frank."
As he spoke, William walked to Raywin, and accompanied by an indefinite magic halo, the figures of the two disappeared together. Frank's sight.
Then two rows of footprints appeared on the carpet, extending all the way to the door.
The door opened and closed again, and the footprints disappeared.
Waited for more than ten minutes, and after confirming that Raven had left, Frank picked up the parchment paper on the coffee table, took all the contents on it, and then put it to the edge of the candlestick and burned it clean. .
Five days later.
January 6, 1200.
The sound of drums and horns cut through the cold morning light, and Lei Wen's troops spread out along the lines and slowly advanced towards the city wall.
Siege vehicles, crossbows, ladders, catapults and other siege equipment are available.
From a distance, it looks like a swarm of emotions that are about to swallow everything in front of you.
Earl Frank appeared in the city tower as promised, not far from him, and was the winch that controlled the city gate.
The Eagle Army is getting closer and closer, and the crossbow arrows shot on the top of the city cannot play any role in blocking them.
The crossbows on both sides shot at each other, but in the end, the enchanted crossbows were better. They destroyed four crossbows on the city wall at the cost of losing one.
Gradually, the Eagle Army had advanced less than 100 meters away from the city wall.
Frank's chief guard came over and whispered: "Sir, those traitors who are traitors who are scattered are already controlled."
"The Shanwang Legion has 5,700 people. , you can go out of the city to fight at any time! ”
Frank nodded solemnly:
"Leave it to you here. In 1 minute, open the city gate."
As he said, Earl Frank put on his helmet and turned around and walked under the city wall.
He is indeed ready to open the city gate as agreed.
But.
He was not ready to betray the Principal of Aivol.
Instead, you must personally lead your own Shanwang Legion and give a strong blow to the slack Eagle Army!
At the front of his legion, Earl Frank rode his own war horse.
As the sound of giggles.
The city gate slowly descended, and then suddenly came to a halt!
...
