Xingyu World: Legend Guild

Chapter 791 – Siege

Xingyu, February 10, 1175, at nine o’clock in the morning, 30 kilometers west of Leimuge Village in the three-wood forest, Yan Tielong was resting with his fiancée and a thousand cavalry. After all, the horse was a little tired from rushing from seven in the morning. So let the mount rest and wait for the next battle.

Shite Aaliyah led her war horse to her fiancé and asked: “Dragon, you handed Lei Mucun and the trophies to Baron McRojenn for management, are you really so relieved?”.

When asked by his fiancée, Yan Tielong said that he did not completely trust McRojen, so the trophies he left for Baron McRoen looked a lot, but the value was not high. Even one of the gems and noble crowns he left behind was not high. It’s higher than half of what’s left.

Yan Tielong thought of something after speaking, so he took out a gold crown set with five sapphires of various sizes from the space ring to his fiancee, and said it was a gift.

When Shiteeliya saw the five sapphire crowns, she liked it a little, but the sapphire crowns were so beautiful and certainly not ordinary products, plus some royal styles, so she refused to accept them.

Seeing his fiancée refused, Yan Tielong said that the old crown in his hand was not suitable for his fiancée, so he told his fiancee that he would create a more luxurious and beautiful crown than the crown in his hand and give it to her.

Shi Te Alia was very happy about the fiance’s promise, but thinking of the purpose this time, she asked the fiance who the goal was this time?

Hearing the question from his fiancee, Yan Tielong took out a map from the space ring and pointed to a small city ten kilometers west of them.

Shi Tealiya frowned when she saw the place pointed by her fiance: “Dragon, I remember that the city here is named Tao Yancheng, and the lord of this city is Earl Tao Baigesi, right?”.

Seeing her fiancé nodded, Shit Alia frowned and said: “Dragon, you chose the weakest to start. I can understand very well, but Earl Tauberges has five thousand weapons, and both the guard and the wall defense. It’s not comparable to Leimuge Village. Do you really think we can take down this city?”.

Hearing his fiancee’s serious questioning, Yan Tielong said that he was not going to capture Taoyan City, but used the method of besieging the city to assist the current king of the Kingdom of Silo. After all, the cavalry is suitable for plain warfare. The use of siege is too wasteful and the number of people is not enough. .

Shite Alia was relieved when she heard the plan from her fiance, but she also pointed out that if the enemy’s reinforcements are very strong, what should be done?

Yan Tielong heard his fiancée, for example, he couldn’t help but squeeze his face to remind them that they were cavalry. Once he found that the enemy was very strong, he could of course choose to escape.

Shite Alia was a little dissatisfied with her fiance’s face-squeezing behavior, but after listening to the other party, she knew that she had asked a relatively low-level question. After all, she was also a talented student who graduated from an elite college.

Seeing a cavalry at the observation deck of Taoyan City, he hurriedly sounded the alarm; while the guards of Taoyan City heard the alarm, they did not hesitate to close the gate, even if the merchants outside the gate gave money to it, it was useless.

Yan Tielong took his fiancée and the Thousand Cavaliers to see Tao Yancheng so alert, and directly closed the city gate for defense. He had a somewhat admiring view of Earl Tauberges, after all, in the information he had obtained, Earl Tauberges was a very self-conscious person. The big man, he thought the other party would send soldiers and would fight him hard.

In fact, the reason why Earl Tauberges did not send troops to defend is because he was influenced by the youngest son of Viscount Kubazilei who ran to them.

It turns out that yesterday Viscount Lei knew that he could not escape, and he also thought that his eldest son could not escape, so he let the eldest son escape through the back door to attract the enemy to give the younger son time to escape from the secret road.

And the youngest son of Viscount Kubazilei added fuel to exaggerate the strength of the team led by Yan Tielong, and as a result, this also caused the very arrogant Earl Taubuges to persuade him.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Earl Tauberges was shocked for a while, but he didn’t think that the cavalry outside was strong enough to break through his city, so he released the flying letter bird for reinforcements, and when the reinforcements came, he wanted to kill the Cavaliers in front of him.

Yan Tielong didn’t pay attention to Earl Tauberges’s use of the letter bird to ask for help, and even agreed that his original goal was to besieged the city, but he still let Xiaoyin expand the scope of investigation.

Yan Tielong’s main force was placed at the east gate, and hundreds of cavalry from other sects surrounded him to prevent the enemy’s sneak attack. After all, Yan Tielong only had one thousand cavalry, and the opponent had five thousand armed forces.

After Yan Tielong finished the arrangement, he himself used a loudspeaker to read aloud from the archer’s range of Earl Tauberges any collusion with the uncle to form a bandit regiment to plunder the wealth of the villagers and trade in slaves.

The soldiers guarding Taoyan city heard Yan Tielong expose the crimes of Earl Tauberges, which directly reduced the morale of the soldiers; Earl Tauberges directly cursed, and said that he has amazing wealth and why he wants to destroy his reputation and form a bandit group.

Yan Tielong’s ears are very good. When he heard the words of Earl Tao Baiggs, he directly refuted that the Tao Bai family was a century-old aristocratic family, but the Tao Bai aristocrats used to borrow money to live their lives until the first robber appeared. Count Tao Baigesi suddenly changed money, Yan Tielong directly asked the other party how to change so much money!

Earl Tauberges heard Yan Tielong’s question, but he didn’t know how he would answer. He just kept telling that Yan Tielong was a slander, and even became angry and said that he would lead the legion out of the city to destroy the opponent.

If it weren’t for the family knights to stop and show that it was the enemy’s conspiracy, maybe Yan Tielong would be able to take down Tao Yancheng very contemptuously.

Seeing Tao Baigesi city as a tortoise, the already scolded Yan Tielong took out the sling from the space ring. After all, Yan Tielong’s words mean that the city will be attacked.

Soon the stone bombs of the catapult were ready, and then Yan Tielong began to measure the distance between the catapult and Taoyan City, and then began to attack Taoyan City with the catapult.

To attack the city with slings, the soldiers of Tao Yancheng must be careful to avoid them. After all, they were hit by a dozen catties of stones and finished playing directly, which also made the morale of the soldiers guarding Taoyan city lower.

After Yan Tielong and the others smashed it for nearly three hours, they stopped.

The reason was not that the catapult was damaged. It was discovered through Xiaoyin Yan Tielong that an armed team was approaching Taoyan City 20 kilometers away. Yan Tielong wanted to clean up the reinforcements, so he took away some important parts of the catapult. Once they left, the sling was used by the enemy.

Count Tauberguth learned that they had just attacked them with slings and all the cavalry suddenly left. He was very puzzled to send someone to scout the enemy’s cavalry to run there, and at the same time sent a team to bring back the enemy’s abandoned slings.

When Earl Tauberguth began to enjoy lunch and food, a scout hurriedly ran up to Tauberguth.

Seeing the soldiers breaking in, when Count Taubergusi was about to swear, the soldiers hurriedly reported that they had just discovered that an armed group of reinforcements had been destroyed.

Hearing that the reinforcements were annihilated, Earl Tauberges did not react for a while, and when he did, he nervously asked who was annihilated?

The scout heard the lord’s question, and he asked his subordinates to carry what the enemy didn’t want; soon two men dressed as the same scouts came to the lord with a few flags and some weapons.

Earl Tauberges saw the standard design on the flag and some weapons. He immediately recognized that he was allied with the Liya family, the Baiwen family and the Fengde family, so he asked the scouts what it was about?

Hearing the lord’s question, the leading scouts solemnly told the lord that they followed the enemy cavalry according to the lord’s order; because they were afraid of exposure, they were a little far away from the enemy cavalry, so they only saw the enemy cavalry charge an armed team.

The scouts reported that the enemy cavalry had wiped out an armed group in a short time. After the enemy cavalry left, they found a corpse and abandoned equipment, so they brought some equipment and flags back.

Count Tauberges heard the report from the scouts. He immediately thought that he had issued a distress letter not long ago, and the three aristocratic alliance families sent troops to support them. As a result, the three combined legions were quickly annihilated by the enemy cavalry, which scared him. Cold sweat, after all, he knew very well that the armed forces of the three alliance families were weak, but if they were destroyed in such a short time, then the enemy would definitely be the elite of the elite.

In fact, the cavalry under Yan Tielong’s command is not elite. According to Yan Tielong’s evaluation, these cavalry are just horsemen who can do well at once.

When Yan Tielong discovered the enemy’s three thousand infantry reinforcements, in order not to make the previous mistakes, Yan Tielong released the earth shield, stone skin, earth armor, … a lot of supplementary magic to the cavalry team. As a result, the iron cavalry became a knight with heavy armor.

When Yan Tielong led a thousand strong armored knights to charge three thousand ordinary armed soldiers, the enemy’s iron spears, bows, javelins, and swords could not break the defenses. As a result, Yan Tielong and the others charged the enemy’s three thousand legions with one wave of charges. It collapsed, and the second wave directly captured three nobles and some knights and ordinary soldiers.

Of course, there are still a lot of escaping enemies, after all, the collapsed enemies are scattered and fled, and Yan Tielong has no time to waste chasing.

However, Yan Tielong also paid a lot of supplementary magic and mental power potions, after all, thousands of people subsidized magic is also very consuming magic and mental power.

To solve the first enemy reinforcements, Yan Tielong sent a hundred cavalry to take more than one hundred prisoners to Leimuge Village, and he himself led his fiancee and the remaining cavalry to aim at the next target.
