European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 80 Surrounding Wei and Rescue Zhao

After checking the situation of the fief, Li Peijun discovered an astonishing fact.

Although this Kovic is only a baron, the population and output of the fiefdom under his jurisdiction can already compete with the earl. It can be seen that this guy has excellent political achievements.

If he succeeds in usurping the position of Lord of Honfleur this time, his strength will definitely expand sharply. Even if he is far away in Honfleur, there is no guarantee that he will not become his next expansion target.

If Werther hadn't come over overnight to ask for help, he would have slowly shrunk in the territory to develop, and then waited to clean up the surrounding nobles before thinking about it.

"What? Kovic's residence is not here?"

Li Peijun learned from the nobles who surrendered that Kovic built a castle near the territory alone, and the most direct troops were usually stationed there, and would visit the fief from time to time.

According to the guidance of the leading party, Li Peijun walked to the exit on the other side of the manor, stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up at the castle fortress built on the mountain. There is only one way.

Unable to figure out the situation inside, Li Peijun did not dare to attack rashly. The last remaining aristocratic fief was less than 500 meters away from Kovic's territory. Li Peijun planned to lead the army to remove the last obstacle before making plans.

The lord of this fief is a relative of Kovic, which can also understand why the ambitious Kovic next to him was not annexed. The main force of the lord basically entered the city with Kovic, and there was no one left in the manor. With no amount of defense, Li Peijun easily occupied this place militarily.

Different from Kovic's benevolent government and love for the people, this lord of the same clan is a greedy and pleasure-seeking person, frantically squeezing the surplus value of the residents of the territory. When Li Peijun led the army to invade, some farmers even came out to greet him spontaneously.

All the fiefdoms of the rebel nobles have fallen into his own hands. Li Peijun is still paying attention to the developments in Honfleur. The news coming back from the front shows that the war there is still inextricable.

The size of the troops invested by the two sides was around 400 to [-] people. Although it seems that there are not even one graders now, but at that time they were almost dispatched.

Even if I lead the remaining [-] or so people to join the battle, although the chances of winning are relatively high, it may not be possible to wipe out the enemy completely. It is better to let them maintain a balance of power and fight to the end, so that I can rest easy and wait for work.

After all the phased tasks are completed, Li Peijun has a lot of command and strategy at once, and then the ability to command troops and the use of strategies will be more handy.

"View the character properties panel."

Current character attributes

Power: 48
Stamina: 52
Intelligence: 38
Charisma: 15
Strategies: 10
Command: 10
Some of the changes in these numbers are like moistening things silently, like strength. Apart from feeling better when holding heavy objects, I don't see the arrogance that I have the strength to lift mountains and sweep all directions.

Another example is charm, and I have never seen a beautiful woman on the street who would linger on her for a few seconds longer.

Some are huge changes in quantity and quality. The most obvious ones are strategy and command. Although it only increases by ten points, the effects and combinations of skills have reached an unexpected level.

"Use skills, battlefield insight."

Under the falcon-like gaze, the pair of eyes that see through everything turned the thick city wall into nothingness, and everything inside was presented to his sight without reservation.

"The situation in the castle includes a total of 78 people, including 38 attendants, 20 maids, 16 knights, and 4 nobles."

"Good guy, this information is so accurate." Li Peijun grinned.

In order to quickly approach the castle, Li Peijun prepared to go into battle lightly and maneuver quickly, still letting the surrendered nobles play the vanguard. It is called a show of loyalty, but in fact it is trying to compromise their strength as much as possible.

With a cry that pierced the sky, everyone shouted "For~!~ Si~ba~da!" human brain.

The steep terrain is synonymous with easy to defend and difficult to attack. Although he formed a mixed army of 250 people, he was forced to lose his temper by a few falling rocks and rolling logs.

When his vanguard finally got to the gate of the city, he slammed open the gate under the command of "one two one two" against the rain of arrows above. What greeted them was not the wide avenue inside, but another thicker iron wall. Door.

A pile of flammable objects was poured down, and the burning torch was thrown down, and there was a wailing below.

Li Peijun encountered such a setback in his first forceful attack. It seems that Kovich's men are not all idiots.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Li Peijun first issued an order to withdraw troops from Mingjin. It seemed that light armor and forceful assault would not succeed, and everything had to follow the conventional routine of siege.

"Upgrade skills, attack tough."

"The skills have been upgraded successfully, and the current attack is LV5, which has reached the highest level."

There is also the skill of siege and fortification in the military skills, but the introduction of the skill is very vague. It simply describes that it can improve the overall siege ability of the army.

Li Peijun first returned to the occupied area and re-armed the remaining troops. All the soldiers who could wear armor and shoulder helmets were assembled, and then they were ready to build siege equipment.

Cloud ladders and catapults could not be built in a short time, so Li Peijun had no choice but to make a few long siege ladders and a simple ram car.

Night fell quietly, and torches were lit in the castle and manor.

According to the latest information sent back from Honfleur, although more than half of the two sides were killed and injured, they were still fighting inextricably. It was hard for Li Peijun to imagine how a few hundred people would fight hand-to-hand there for a day without being able to tell the winner. .

In fact, although Kovic has the upper hand in numbers, he doesn't want to fight to the end. The main purpose of entering the city this time is to collect taxes, and the second is to give a little color to those money-smelling businessmen who oppose him.

As for nobles like Werther who refuse to accept him, he plans to wait until his strength grows enough to be crushed before solving them together. After all, if the two sides really have a big battle, the little nobles who will benefit in the end are likely to be on the sidelines.

Witt's side also immediately lost their will to fight after discovering Kovic's large army. If it wasn't for Conte, who was biting the spoils in his hand, maybe Witt's coalition forces would have escaped the battle and retreated.

"Conte, can you lose the baggage in your hand, you bastard?" Werther cursed.

"It's almost out of the battle. What are you talking about to be frustrated? At worst, I will share half with you. Don't talk about it now." Conte replied with a smile.

If it weren't for the fact that the two were young and Conte had saved his life before, Werther would have kicked this guy who got into money's eyes to the side.

In the dark light, where the torches could not shine, Li Peijun plotted his next move.

The nobles who surrendered once advised him whether they should wait until tomorrow morning to attack the city. Li Peijun didn't say anything, but just raised his sword and told them to shut up.

There was a crisp sound of unsheathing, and the sharp and sharp blade could emit an aggressive cold light just by relying on the bright moon. The nobles did not dare to say more, so they had to apologize repeatedly.

After all, there were very few night raids in the Middle Ages at this time. In most cases, the two sides directly entangled everyone to come to a place and have a fight to see who had thicker arms.

The siege equipment has also been completely built. After all, it is simply a matter of making long wooden ladders out of wood, and sharpening the front of the thick wooden blocks and placing them on the original carriage frame. Of course, it doesn't take much time.

After making a few simple gestures, without even raising the torch, a night march quietly approached the castle on the mountain.
