Lord of Riders

The power of the Ansa Empire is flourishing. The Ansa Empire has just defeated the Kingdom of Rhodok and occupied most of the territory of the Kingdom of Rhodok. King Haraus knew how difficult it was for the Kingdom of Rhodok to be dealt with. The Kingdom of Rhodok split from the hands of King Haraus. Relying on the tenacious will of the Rhodoks, the Rhodoks relied on the terrain to fight to the end with the army of the Swadia Kingdom, and finally defeated the Swadia Kingdom and gained independence.

At the beginning, the Rhodok Kingdom had a small population, a small territory, and a weak strength.

However, the Swadia army at that time was much stronger than it is now, and it is even better than the current Anglo Empire that invaded the Calradia continent.

However, the Rhodok Kingdom is now strong enough, but it has not been able to last for two months in the hands of the Anglo Empire, and it collapsed. Only a few defeated generals under King Griffiths were still fighting stubbornly.

It can be seen how strong the Ansa Empire is. Although King Haraus has always believed that he is very powerful, he still has to admit that the Ansa Empire is much stronger than the Swadia Kingdom.

And King Haraus also knew that the Anglo-Saxon empire was basically planning to destroy the countries of Calradia directly, and would not accept the truce negotiations at all, but only accepted unconditional surrender.

King Haraus had to call for help like the Shao Ming Kingdom.

Shao Yu led his army to camp ten miles north of Kurau, and did not move on. At the same time, Shao Yu also received a distress letter from King Harous.

King Haraus eagerly hoped that Shao Yu could lead his army to the Kingdom of Swadia as soon as possible to rescue them.

Shao Yu put down the letter, thought for a while, and finally put away the distress letter from King Harous.

"Your Majesty Shao Yu? Can you tell me what your attitude is now? I want to go back and report to King Harous."

The messenger of the kingdom of Swadia asked

"We are an ally, and the Kingdom of Swadia is in trouble, so naturally we will not care about it" Shao Yu said

"In this way, you go back and tell your King Haraus that after half a month, the main army of the Shao Ming Kingdom will inevitably appear on the main battlefield of the Swadia Kingdom!" Shao Yu replied.

"Half a month? Isn't it too long?" The messenger heard this and said casually.

"You can't hold it for half a month, so what are we going to do? And if we can't defeat the main force of the Nord Kingdom, how can we support you? The Nord Kingdom will not be indifferent to our support of the Swadia Kingdom," Shao Yu said

"Yes, yes, please forgive me, Shao Yu," the messenger said quickly

"It's nothing, go back and report to your king, the Shao Ming Kingdom must be here as promised," Shao Yu said

"I'm leaving, Your Majesty Shao Yu" the messenger nodded and said goodbye to Shao Yu, and then immediately left to report to Harous.

As soon as the messenger left, the secret guard who had been to connect with the spy returned, and at the same time handed a sheepskin roll to Kane's hand.

Kane opened the parchment roll and looked at the side, frowning involuntarily

"Kane, what's the situation in Crow City now?" Shao Yu asked

"Your Majesty, I am not very optimistic. The Nord Kingdom has mobilized a large number of troops to support Kulao. It is estimated that they know that we will inevitably attack Kulao, adding more than 20,000 people in one breath. Now there are 30,000 guards in Kulao City. Army. It's not easy to deal with." Kane replied

"Oh? Thirty thousand? How many defenders are there now in Zivadin?" Shao Yu asked

"In addition to the army of the Anglo-Saxon Empire, there should be about 60,000 people." Kane replied

"Well. It seems that it is not easy to defeat the Nord Kingdom in one go." Shao Yu said

"Then we have to attack Crow?" Kane asked

"Of course we have to attack. There are three iron mines under the control of Kulao City. The quality of iron ore produced by the mines here is much higher than that of the two iron mines in the north and south of Aichemore. Kulao is my strategy. An important part of the plan" Shao Yu replied

"Yes, Your Majesty, what arrangements do you have, I will send someone to implement it immediately" Kane said

"I need a batch of internal responses, otherwise it will be difficult to break Kulao" Shao Yu thought for a while and said

"How about it, how many spies did you arrange in Kulao City?" Shao Yu asked

"More than a hundred people" Kane thought for a while and replied

"More than a hundred people? No, too few" Shao Yu shook his head and said

"Then, how many people does your Majesty hope to have?" Kane asked

"It doesn’t matter how many people are, and you can’t arrange anyone in a short time. Besides, Nord people must be guarded now. It’s not easy to get in, unless you find someone for me from the inside and find a way from the inside. Breakthrough" Shao Yu said

"Internal breakthrough?" Kane asked

"It's the internal response" Shao Yu replied

"No, no, I'm afraid that the internal response is useless." As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Yu rejected the plan again.

"Forget it, you continue to order people to monitor the movement of Kulao City, I will go out to see the surrounding environment" Shao Yu quickly rejected his plan to use the inner city to open the city.

Kulao’s city gate is very small, and there are still narrow lanes after entering. Attacking from the city gate will not be able to give full play to its strength in terms of strength. At the same time, it is difficult for long-range weapons to exert their power.

Therefore, Shao Yu decided to look at the situation again to see if there was a better way to attack the city.

Think about the ancient times, water attacks and fire attacks were very common in wars. Because the water level of the Yellow River was high and the embankment was constantly increasing, the Yellow River was already above the ground. It's like having a hand, holding a big bucket, quietly pour it, let the water flow out, you can flood the city and village.

However, Shao Yu found out that this land is unusable in Kulao. Although Kulao is also built by the river, the river next to Kulao is also very wide and the water flow is turbulent, but the water level is very low unless a bucket is used. Pour buckets on the walls of Kulao~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Otherwise, there will be no way to flood Kulao with water.

The walls of Kulao are not high, only six meters high. Among the cities and towns of Calradia, it is quite normal. The big cities with ten meters high walls are basically leftovers from the Kalad Empire in its heyday. . The walls built by later generations will not have this height.

Shao Yu made a circle around Kulao City and found no loopholes.

Shao Yu didn't notice anything, so he took his entourage to the riverside to have a look, and suddenly saw a small animal.

The weather gradually warmed up, and many animals came to the river to build their nests in mud.

"Yes!"

Shao Yu looked at the nesting birds and suddenly thought of an idea.

Shao Yu saw the mud and suddenly thought of another thing.

Shao Yu thought of an ancient novel in the Tian Dynasty that a man named Zhuge had used a lot of soil packs when attacking Nanban, piled them under the enemy's city to form a slope. This way you can easily climb up the city wall
