Chapter 534 Surrender Is a Very Difficult Thing
"What? Rescue the elves? Go to war with the orcs?" Li Hualin told Reg's people what happened next, and Reg was very excited when he heard about it, "Really? Our troops also want to go?".
"Of course I'm going, this is a good time to gain experience, why not go." Li Huailin said.
"Okay!" Reg clenched his fist violently, "Great, I can finally go to the battlefield."
"Why are you so excited about beating the orcs?" Li Huailin asked.
"This is a battle of hundreds of thousands of troops. This is the first time I have participated in such a large-scale battle." Reg said.
"Really, you are far behind McCann." Li Huailin said, "Learn from him, so as not to embarrass me in the future."
"Understood, Marshal." Reg here is very convinced of McCann now, and feels that he and McCann have a lot to learn, so he replied very happily.
"The war with the orcs, um, not bad, it's a good theme." Sisi also rode on a horse and followed the troops, not to mention that her horse riding skills are really good, and now she has been following the troops for a long time without falling behind The situation seems to have been practiced.
"Are you really okay? Aren't you pregnant and still going to the battlefield?" Li Huailin said.
"I just had a miscarriage, can't I?". Ceci here said.
"It doesn't make sense to go to the battlefield just after a miscarriage." Li Huailin said with a smile.
"Hahahaha..." Reg also couldn't help laughing.
"You laugh at me too, I'll punish you." Sisi immediately said as the second wife.
"Sorry, Second Madam, please forgive me, forgive me." Reg said immediately.
"How far is it?" Li Huailin has actually been running here for a long time, and now it is almost night when the sky looks at it. It is estimated that it should not be far away, so I asked.
"According to our current speed, we can reach the city of Baia Lema within an hour." Reg thought for a while and replied, "However, there is a small city called Deliot in front of the city of Baia Lema. , I don’t know if the other party will stop our troops there, and now our troops have basically been working for a day. It should be very tired, shouldn’t the marshal take a break before marching?”
"How big is this small town called Deliott? Is the city wall thick? How long will it take to attack?" Li Huailin asked.
"A very small city with a population of no more than 10,000. As for the city walls... I don't know much about it, but Oradea was originally an inland kingdom, and it has always been a vassal state of our country. There has been no war for hundreds of years. Well, there shouldn’t be any repairs to the city or something, it’s definitely going to be destroyed at the first touch. Even if we only have cavalry, we can probably rush in.”
"That's all right, let's go directly to Deliott, then attack the city, rest directly after we are defeated, and then go to fight Bayarema." Li Hualin thought for a while and said.
"Yes, Marshal." Reg nodded.
Hearing that it was time to rest, the soldiers who were indeed a little tired immediately sped up again. After advancing for about 20 minutes, Li Huailin saw a small city appearing on the horizon.
It is indeed a very small city. Standing there, you can directly see the size of the entire city, unlike the City of God's Blessing, where you can't even see the side, the city looks like a khaki, and the city walls are also made of khaki soil, not stones It was built, and there are several holes in the city wall just by looking at it. The damage was more serious than Li Huailin imagined, and it was almost useless for defense.
"This is really... I don't even bother to fight this kind of city." Li Huailin said, but think about it, the maintenance cost of the city wall is very high, don't think that you don't need to worry about it after it is built. And a small country like Oradea, where people don't have enough to eat, has no money to repair this thing, and no one comes to beat them, so it has broken down like this over time.
"Marshal, attack directly?". Reg from here asked.
"Slaughter the city directly." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Hey..." Sisi next to him was stunned, "You are too cruel, you are simply insane."
"Didn't I say that I want to massacre the city?" Li Huailin said.
"But...but you also give them a chance. You let them surrender. If they don't surrender, you can slaughter the city." Sisi said kindly.
"Oh? That's fine, Reg, send someone to the gate of the city to shout, and within 5 minutes, the city lord will roll here and surrender, otherwise the city will be slaughtered directly." Li Huailin said casually.
"Five minutes?" Reg was stunned for a moment, this time is too short, but thinking about it, it might be that Li Huailin wanted to slaughter the city, and five minutes was just given casually, so he nodded and ran over on his own. He thinks that his martial arts are relatively high, even if someone ambushes him, he should be able to escape unscathed.
Dama rushed to a place tens of meters away from the city wall, looked at the low city wall, and guessed that the archers standing on it would not be able to shoot here, so Reg opened his mouth and shouted: "Listen up, people inside, this is the holy city." The troops of the Duke of Aquitaine in the Felipe Empire, now give you five minutes to hand over the city and surrender, if not, after the city is broken, no chicken or dog will be left behind!"
After shouting once, Reg was afraid that the other party might not hear clearly, so he continued to shout again: "People inside listen, this is..."
Before the second shout was over, suddenly two broken wooden city gates swung open from left to right, and several people in white robes appeared at the city gate, the leader was a middle-aged man in his fifties, followed by Five or six younger people, judging from their attire, didn't seem to be soldiers, and they didn't look like they were carrying any weapons.
Reg was watching, and the people over there couldn't wait to rush out, and rushed towards Reg. Reg was stunned, then quickly pulled out his sword, and shouted to them: "Stop!" Come on! Who are you?"
"I am Kebal, the lord of this city." The middle-aged man in charge said, "Your Excellency, are you the Duke? I have come to surrender. It shouldn't take more than five minutes."
"What? You are the city lord?" Reg was stunned for a moment. Your reaction was too fast. In five minutes, this guy surrendered in one minute. Are you ready?
After thinking about it, Reg said: "I am not the Duke, you, come with me alone, and I will take you to see the Duke."
"Yes." Kebal nodded immediately.
Reg took Kebal back to the army formation behind, and Li Huailin was also taken aback when he heard this situation: "Damn it, you just surrendered, it's too fucking decisive."
"My lord duke is here in person, I dare not refuse to vote." Kebal said immediately.
"As a city lord, you are supposed to keep the city alive, and the city is destroyed and the people are dead. You didn't even defend the city for a second. You bastard. I won't allow you to surrender. Go back and prepare your army for war." Li Huailin said.
"Huh?" Kebal was taken aback. Didn't you say you asked me to surrender within five minutes? Why is it not allowed now?
"Regg, pull him back." Li Hualin said with a wave of his hand.
"My lord, please spare me." Kebal here quickly knelt down in front of Li Huailin and said, "My lord, I really can't beat you. There are only 65 city guards in the city. Let me How to fight, please do me a favor so that I can surrender."
"Damn, 65 city guards? Are you kidding me? Didn't you say that your country has 1,000 troops?". Li Huailin asked.
"It's all in the royal city, and there are no 1,000 troops. Now our country can't even eat enough, and we can't afford to raise soldiers. Many of these 1,000 people are officials stuffed into the troops, and they have no combat effectiveness at all. , Some soldiers can’t even hold their weapons firmly, so this is not a unit capable of fighting.” Kebal here has surrendered anyway, and all the national information and the like are all shaken out.
"..." Li Huailin raised his forehead directly. It's really not a big deal for 65 people to hit 4000, but you're too fast. I've been running for a long time, at least I can fight a battle.
"Regg, how far is it from Bayarema City?" Li Huailin asked.
"My lord duke, keep walking this way, it will take about an hour to walk." Kebal here hurriedly led the way for Li Huailin.
"Don't rest, start directly, and rush over to beat Bayarema City, or they will react and surrender after a while." Li Huailin said immediately.
"Ah?" Reg was stunned for a moment, "Marshal, what about Deliott City? Are we going to leave the troops to accept the surrender?".
"Successful fart, this kind of broken city has a fart." Li Huailin said, "Don't worry about it."
"Then... what about this guy?" Reg asked, pointing at Kebal.
"Whatever he does, go wherever you like." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
"Yes, Marshal." Reg nodded, and then shouted to the troops behind, "The whole army is going."
"The whole army is going!" The messenger immediately passed on the order, and Li Huailin's cavalry team started again, rushing towards the main city of Oradea, Bayarema City, and Buckle was left behind like this In the same place, with a face of inexplicable.
"Master City Lord? They left?" A few entourages here went to Li Huailin and drove away with the troops, came over and asked, "Master City Lord, how did you do it? You actually called them back by yourself? "
"How the hell do I know, it's so difficult to surrender these days." Kebal said.
Li Huailin shouted again to move forward at a faster speed. This time he decided not to shout about five minutes to surrender, but to start fighting directly at the place, lest the other side get ready again, and you will never have time to start fighting without saying anything.
What he didn't know was that the king of the Kingdom of Oradea, Budba, had been standing outside the city gate for an hour, and he said to himself while standing: "Why hasn't it arrived yet, why is this surrender so hard... ..." (To be continued...)
