Rise of the Empire Total War
Chapter 289 Siege
Dear General Winster, I am Conson, the foreign affairs chief of the Kingdom of Delj. In the name of His Majesty King Mariano, we are willing to surrender to your country.
Crowley, the head of foreign affairs of the Kingdom of Delj, had a solemn face. He still proposed to surrender to the enemy commander in a hoarse voice, but the other party was not ready to agree immediately. He saw that Hulk Li asked: Tell me your conditions, Your Excellency the Chief of Diplomacy, Crowley, we don't believe that you will surrender unconditionally.
Hearing this, Crowley paused for a moment, and still stated the results of the previous court meeting: Our country is willing to cede three regions including the Kuli territory, and at the same time pay 30,000 silver coins, and voluntarily become your country's vassal.
We have already heard these conditions, and your country really does not make people see any sincerity. Toolagris said lightly, and then he added: At least I can't see the slightest sincerity.
This... Crowley couldn't speak for a while, his brain was spinning violently. After a while, just as he was about to say something, he saw an impatient expression on Toolagris' face, and he just The general who was born in the Kingdom of Denmark opened his mouth and said, Let me tell you about our conditions.
Please speak. Crowley swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and made a gesture of listening attentively.
Then, Tooragris coughed lightly, and said: In addition to the cession of territory and compensation proposed by your country, we request that your country be incorporated into our country, and King Mariano's title of king will be revoked, and he can only be Known as the Duke of Delj, and in the name of the Duke of Delj, become a vassal of our Majesty Richard.
What? This is unacceptable to us! Crowley was shocked, his face changed suddenly, and he said quickly: Please change the condition, it is really unrealistic to merge into your country, not only His Majesty the King will not agree, the domestic None of the nobles would agree!
This is not within the scope of our consideration. Toolagris shrugged and said disdainfully: The loser is not qualified to bargain with the winner. All you can do is agree to our conditions, otherwise, die .”
If that's the case, let's continue the war. Crowley said angrily, and then he was about to turn around and leave, returning to Dukang. The conditions offered by Toolagris were really harsh, and he clearly wanted to break up the negotiations on purpose.
Looking at his back, Tooragris said mockingly: Treasure the time you have left. When our army conquers Dukang, you will have to go to hell to be tortured by demons.
His words caught behind Crowley's ears, causing the latter to pause, but he did not reply, but continued on. Tooragris ignored him and turned to look at Hercule,
Dao: Write letters to other earls in the Kingdom of Delj, asking them to surrender. Although we can easily defeat the Delj people, it will take a long time to completely occupy this country. Damian It is true that we cannot remain deeply trapped in the battlefield of Delj, and other battlefields may need our assistance.
Don't worry, Toolagris. Hercule comforted: Our military strength is completely sufficient, even if we subtract the several brigades stationed in the Cunha area and the independent Teutonic Knights, the first The legion is still able to deal with the coalition forces in the west, not to mention, we have an ally of the Kingdom of Lucino to share the pressure.
But the Kingdom of Ramirez in the south is coming menacingly. Tooragris did not relax because of Hercule's comfort. You should still remember the military situation you got, since the declaration of war, the Abadran leader surrendered against the wind, allowing the Ramirez people to get a group of soldiers for nothing, and went west to besiege the city of Luwen.
Speaking of this, he paused, and then continued: There are not many garrisons in Luwen City. Even if Earl Maximilian is guarding them, it may not be much cheaper.
Don't forget, Tooragris, in the war a few years ago, the city of Luwen was also besieged by the main force of Ramirez, but it managed to survive until His Majesty Caesar's reinforcements arrived. I believe it will not happen this time. Change, and the people of Christ will surely triumph over the wicked heathen.
Yeah. Toolagris nodded, and did not continue to delve into this topic. He coughed lightly, changed the subject, and asked, How is our siege equipment?
Hercule knew that he was changing the subject, so he responded cooperatively: The craftsmen in the army are already working hard to make it. At present, one siege tower is almost completed, and there are 18 ladders to be completed.
Toolagris frowned, and said: You don't need to build too many ladders, just build a siege tower with stronger defense capabilities. When our catapult arrives, we can let those damned Derz people know what it is It's called fear!
As you wish, my general. Hercule chuckled twice, but no matter what other people heard, he seemed like the villain in the bard's mouth.
...
The siege continued like this.
Twelve days later, when Richard led his troops to Suken City on the western battlefield, the twenty-eight catapults of the Second Army arrived in the capital under the escort of a company of Nordic swordsmen and a brigade of sword and spear militiamen. In the siege camp in Cannes, when these twenty-eight siege weapons appeared in the sight of the defenders on the city wall, they immediately caused panic. Although they had never seen them before, they still knew what these terrifying weapons were for.
Hahaha, damn Derz, my catapult has finally arrived. Standing under the catapult, Toolagris looked very happy, stroking the burly main body of the catapult, as if stroking the watery body At this time, Hercule behind him asked, General, do you want to give the enemy a wave of greetings first?
Meeting ceremony? Of course. Toolagris said, he clapped his palms and said to the operators: Get ready to shoot, let's give a meeting ceremony to the defenders in the city!
Obey!
Everyone responded in unison, and then got busy around the catapult. They slowly pulled down the throwing arm, and then put heavy stones into the throwing bag at the end of the throwing arm, and carried out final adjustments. The officer shouted loudly, and twenty-eight catapults threw stones at the same time. Although this round was only for testing purposes, many stones still hit the city wall, making the not-so-high city wall of Dukang tremble.
Feeling the vibration of the city wall under their feet, the defenders on the city wall felt frightened. They had never seen such a battle.
