Chapter 331 So So So What!
On the plain ten miles away from Bretel City, there are looters composed of four bandits. They are slowly heading towards Brettle City.
Different from the small gang of bandits running between Brettle City and Hailan City, the Bloodfang Bandit Gang with the smallest number of these bandits also has more than 2,000 people. The Green Fire Bandit Group with the largest number has as many as 6,000 people. Compared with the number of city guards in Brettle City, it is twice as large.
These big bandit groups, like the exterminated Tu Luoda red beard bandit group, are disaster stars who often roam around and plunder various towns in the Seven Duchies. Wherever they pass, the looted towns in the Seven Duchies are often wiped out. Since the seven principalities are constantly at war with each other, and there are many mountains, rivers and hills where they can hide, these robbers are like a fish in water. Become a moth that the seven principalities hate.
Different from the general gang of robbers. These robbers are very well equipped, and some of them are even officers from the Seven Principalities. Because of discord with the nobles in his principality or committing some serious crimes, he simply took his hands and landed on the grass.
These people were born as regular soldiers. Although they became bandits, their discipline and combat knowledge were not lost at all. After becoming bandits, the wealth they looted was equipped with soldiers and war horses. This makes their equipment and combat effectiveness not even weaker than the regular army of the Seven Principalities.
The four bandits that came to Brettle City this time are the Green Flame Bandits, the Tomahawk Bandits, the Flying Dragon Bandits, and the Bloodfang Bandits. many people. A well-equipped and well-trained bloodthirsty bandit.
At this time, the leaders of the four bandit groups were walking in the middle of the team. Still discussing the matter of attacking Brettle City.
"Is the city of Brettle really as rich as you say? I just went there half a year ago, and there didn't seem to be anything valuable there other than stones. The brothers who went with me didn't get anything. !" Bloodfang's leader, Rians, said with some doubts.
This time, Rians was invited by three other people. Originally, he was planning to attack a small town in the Principality of Hellen. If he didn't understand that those three guys were even more greedy, Ryans would definitely not want to join the looting operation in Brettle City.
"The city of Brettle is different from before. The new city lord is said to be very rich. He even snatched the magic crystal cannon from Helen, the duchy of Helen, and it was rumored that Helen was raped by the city lord. Granny, That girl Helen is a well-known beauty in the Seven Duchies, and she is also the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Hillen, but she never expected to be paid by the new city lord. It's really unbelievable!" Bai Na, the leader of the Tomahawk Bandit Group m. He was a reckless man over two meters tall, with a huge battle ax one meter five meters long behind him. The bare skin is fluffy and hairy like a half-orc.
"Rians, I have received definite news that Brettle City is absolutely different from before. The six magic crystal cannons alone are worth 600,000 gold coins.
Plus the gold coins of the city owner and merchants. Brettle City now has at least one million gold coins. "Fass, the leader of Green Fire, explained to Rians.
Fass used to be a senior officer in the Seventh Duchy of Nathan Duchy. He was well-known in the battles of the Seven Duchesses, but he was dismissed because he wantonly massacred prisoners during the battle. Fass, who received the news, simply led his men to fight. Bandit trade. After being transferred from a high-ranking officer to a bandit, Fass became even more comfortable, and developed the Green Fire Bandit Group to more than 6,000 people. No longer bound by anyone.
Among the four bandit groups, Fass Land Green Fire not only has the largest number of people. Even the combat power is the strongest. After all, Fass was born as a regular soldier and has a good set of methods for leading troops in battle.
Hearing Fass' explanation, the other three robbers, including Yafei, the leader of the Flying Dragon Bandit Group who had not spoken and looked sinister, also showed greedy eyes. One million gold coins is a big number in anyone's eyes. Not to mention these greedy robbers, even the Dukes of the Seven Principalities know about it. I'm afraid they will come to loot the same way, right?
"Fass is really powerful, haha. One million gold coins. Just relying on the defensive measures of Brettle City. This time it is really developed." Bynum of the battle ax laughed wildly. It was as if he saw gold coins all over the sky throwing towards him.
Yafei of the flying dragon robber group looked at Bynum with disdain. Xin Dao is really a fool, if Brettle City is so easy to attack. Why doesn't Fass, who is also cruel and greedy, take it all by himself, and invite us to come and share the money together?
Among the four robbers. Although Fass is ferocious and greedy, he has a way of leading the army, but his character is not too ruthless and not so scheming. On the contrary, the leader of the Yafeidifeilong bandit group is nicknamed "Poisonous Dragon", which refers to his cruelty and viciousness. Extremely good at some despicable and insidious tricks.
After Fass said the amount of one million gold coins. After thinking about it for a while, Yafei secretly made up his mind. When they arrive in Brettle City, they must not be able to play the main force, at least they have to look at the situation. In order not to accidentally put the hard-earned capital into it.
With the temptation and longing for gold coins. The robbers of the four major robber groups wore clothes of different colors. Gradually drove to the front of the city of Brettle.
The tall and magnificent city wall stood in front of them, and there was no hole in the rebuilt city wall. From the outside, it looks like Brettle City has a solid line of defense.
"Well. Brettle City has really changed a lot. I remember the last time I came here. There were some holes in front of the city gate. The height of the city is not so high. Back then we broke in easily. I haven’t encountered any decent resistance before, and it looks like Brettle City is different.” Rians looked up at Brettle City and couldn’t help but exclaimed.
"Huh. Fass, what about the magic crystal cannon?" Bynum, the leader of the Tomahawk, firmly remembered that the magic crystal cannon was worth 600,000 gold coins. He didn't think much about the terrifying power of the magic crystal cannon. He was just thinking about how to exchange it for golden coins after he got the magic crystal cannon, whenever he thought of the situation where the gold coins would drown him. Bynum has a pleasant sense of satisfaction.
Riding on a tall horse to Fass. And did not immediately answer Bynum's question. Instead, he began to order the green fire robbers behind him to line up. Have them stand up and be ready to fight. Fass didn't look at the city wall until all the Green Firelanders were ready. It was found that there seemed to be no magic crystal cannon on the high city wall.
He frowned and thought about it. Fass opened the mouth and said: "The magic crystal cannon must be in Bretel City, you just need to remember this. Well, there are four gates in Bretel City, and one of us will attack each gate. According to our prior plan Promise. After seeing the signal from me, we will attack Bretel City together.
The city guard of Brettle City only has 3,000 people. A city gate can only be defended by a thousand people at most. You have all heard of their fighting power. When attacking, you just need to disperse the team. The magic crystal cannon can't cause much damage to you. In addition, the magic crystal cannon needs to be filled with magic crystal ore. There is still a gap between each shot, and they may not have enough magic crystal ore. So you don't have to be afraid at all.
As long as any one of our four sides breaks through the city wall, Brettle City will be finished with our strength. This time there may be some casualties. But you think about the one million gold coins, those golden gold coins are piled up in the city lord's mansion. If you want it, how can you do it without leaving some blood. "
Bynum rubbed his hands together and said excitedly, "I can't wait!"
"Okay, leave the main city gate to us. The three of you decide which gate to attack. When I was two children, I sent a signal for us to attack together. Whoever breaks through the gate first will get 40% of the gold coins." Fa said in a low voice.
This was a method that had been discussed a long time ago, and everyone had no objection, so the three robbers discussed it and then left separately. The "Poisonous Dragon" Yafei of the Flying Dragon Bandit Group was heading for the city gate he had chosen. He ordered several subordinates: "Pay attention to those three city gates, once they attack. You must issue a signal to me immediately when you see the scene.
"Don't worry, leader. We know what to do." One of the robbers nodded, and left with the others in a wretched manner. They knew that their leader was very insidious, and they were used to this kind of thing.
How strong is the real defense of Brettle City? Yafei doesn't want to let his flying dragon group try first. Besides, Yafei is afraid that Fass will find them to use them as cannon fodder. Carefully guard against Fass, lest Brettle City have any powerful firepower weapons. In this case, Yafei will consider whether it is necessary to act in accordance with Fass's instructions.
The temptation of one million gold coins is indeed very great, but if there is no life to enjoy, Yafei will naturally run away without hesitation, and will certainly not care about Fass' prior arrangements to preserve his own strength. There will be more opportunities to make a fortune in the future, otherwise it won't be worth it if you lose your old capital.
In Brettle City. Han Shuodoksfranklandic and others walked out of the city lord's mansion after a secret meeting. Among them, Han Shuodoksfrankland went to a city gate one by one, and Dick Chester and Fu Binen's group. It is to go to another city gate.
The only remaining yin demon floated around, listening to the conversations of the four bandit groups clearly. The large firepower tools on the high city wall were temporarily put away, and the soldiers on the city wall scattered only holding crossbows and arrows. Watching the bandit group in the distance from the city gate vigilantly.
Among the four city gates, Han Shuo sits at the main gate with the fewest soldiers and weapons. There were only 300 soldiers, and none of the magic crystal cannons were here, but what he had to face was 6,000 people from the Green Fire Bandit Group. This green fire bandit group is the strongest and is also the main force this time.
"Bryan, are you sure?" Little Fatty Jack looked at the black robbers in front of him, his voice was a little trembling compared to usual, not as smooth as usual.
Jack came here at Han Shuo's request. Before Han Shuo asked Jack to come over, he said, "Watch this battle with me. If you are willing to stay after this battle, I will agree to let you become my city of Brettle." financial officer."
Jack heard Han Shuo's words. He agreed without any hesitation, but now he is really standing on the high and wide city wall. Looking at those well-equipped and vicious robbers, my heart still trembles.
"Why, are you scared?" Han Shuo laughed lightly, looking at Jack with a smile and teasing.
He thrust his chest out suddenly. Jack shouted as if convincing himself: "What are you afraid of? It's just that I'm a little nervous for the first time. What's more, even if I stay in Brettle City, I'm just a financial officer, and I don't need to go to the battlefield. What do I have?" How scary!"
"Very good, if you can persevere to watch this battle. You will be as strong afterwards as you are now, that noble lady Jessica. I guarantee you will get it." Han Shuo said with a smile.
Hearing that Han Shuo mentioned Jessica. There was a trace of sadness in Little Fatty Jack's eyes at first, and then it was immediately replaced by firmness. Nodding heavily, Jack clenched his fat hands and looked at Han Shuo: "Boone, although I can't become a knight, I will definitely become a nobleman!"
Smiling without saying a word, Han Shuo looked at the green fire robbers in the distance. A tall wooden tower was being erected using some simple wooden frames. With the support of the robbers, a dozen or so magicians from various departments gradually walked up the wooden tower.
The most powerful of these magicians is a magister of the thunder system. In addition, there are some small magicians from various departments. Scarce magicians can be reused in any country on the mainland. According to the level of strength, the degree of reuse is not the same. The green fire robbers can have a magister-level thunder magister. It is said that they kidnapped the magister's family and threatened him. Otherwise, a magister would naturally not be willing to be an accomplice of a lowly robber.
The magicians on the wooden tower. The equipment on their bodies is extraordinary, not only the magic robes are exquisite and unusual, but also a valuable magic wand in their hands. It seems that Fass has spent a lot of money on them. Think about it too. Magicians play a great role in war, and a bandit group's strength will naturally be greatly improved if it has magicians. In addition, for a bandit leader, having a magister in his team is also a status symbol.
The wooden tower is 600 meters away from Han Shuo, and there are pulleys under the wooden tower that can be pushed. Several robbers also climbed up the wooden tower with shields in hand, protecting several precious magicians in the center. So that they can unleash their magic with ease. When the war really started, the wooden tower could be pushed closer to the city wall by using the wheels under the wooden tower. Let the magician better bring magic to the city of Bretel.
Six hundred meters is not an unattainable distance for Han Shuo who owns the Demon Killing Front, once the Demon Killing Front is released. The magician who is 600 meters away will be caught off guard and suffer heavy casualties, however. The battle has yet to begin. It would be unwise for Han Shuo to release the Demon Killing Edge at this time, so he just watched them finish the wooden tower, and was not in a hurry to do it.
When the wooden tower is erected. Four ballistas with six shots in a row were also pushed out by the robbers. This kind of ballista has a range of about 500 meters, and can fire six crossbow arrows with astonishing penetrating power at a time. This time, Han Shuo also bought 20 from Buster Trading Company. At present, there are only five hidden in this city wall. Han Shuo was well aware of the penetrating power of this ballista.
"Jack. Once the battle starts, you must not leave me. Within ten meters of me. I can guarantee your safety. Once you leave ten meters, immediately lie down and climb inside the city wall. Haven't you?" Seeing that the robbers still had ballistas, Han Shuo immediately turned around to look at the little fat Jack, and said cautiously.
Tell Han Shuo this. Jack was a little nervous again. Hastily got a little closer to Han Shuo. Almost close to Han Shuo, he said dryly, "Don't worry, I'll follow you wherever you go."
After the wooden tower and the chariot were rolled out, Fass, the leader of the Green Flame Bandits riding on a tall horse, stood up proudly and shouted at Han Shuo, "Master Brian of Bretel City, our brothers!" You also know the purpose of coming here this time. The living conditions of the brothers are not good, and they have almost no food recently. As long as you take out one million gold coins, the brothers will turn around and leave. Never touch a single cent of Brettle City milliseconds."
"Poor Mr. Fass, I deeply sympathize with what happened to your group. But the city of Brettle is notoriously barren. The civilians in my territory can't get enough to eat. I really can't afford a million gold coins Ah." Han Shuo sighed sadly.
His voice sounded neither high nor low, but everyone in the distance, the robbers and the soldiers on the city wall, could hear it clearly, even some of the townspeople in the city of Bretel who were close to here heard it. Some of the more courageous city residents even came out of their houses to listen carefully. Others tried to get a better look at the gate of the city.
"Then how many gold coins can you come up with?" Faz froze for a moment and shouted again when Han Shuo's words seemed weak and open to negotiation.
There is not a single hole in Bretel City now. Although there are fewer soldiers on the tall city walls, they are all equipped with bright weapons. I heard that the Lord Brian of Brettle City. I am still a necromancer, if I really storm the green fire, I will definitely suffer losses. If you can not waste a single soldier. You can also get rich gold coins. Anyone who is not a fool knows what to do. So upon hearing Han Shuo's tone, Fass thought for a while and asked Han Shuo's bottom line.
"Uh, Mr. Fass. Is it okay to have a gold coin?" Han Shuo on the city wall thought about it seriously. Said loudly to Fass seriously.
"Wow haha……"
The soldiers defending the city were a little nervous at first, but now they heard Han Shuo's words. They couldn't help laughing out loud, and even some of the townspeople in Brettle City who heard the voice had amused smiles on their faces, saying that the new city lord has a sense of humor.
"You're fucking playing me!" Fass was furious, and he hadn't been so angry for a long time. All the robbers under him also had ugly faces. I can't wait to rush over and tear Han Shuo and the others into pieces.
"Haha. So what if you play tricks on you. Today you get a gold coin for a rest, hehe. Maybe you will leave some gold coins for the city lord to use. You bastards dare to come and grab my things. You obviously don't want to live anymore I'll honestly tell you that all the treasures of the red beard Tu Luoda were robbed by me. Adding the 400,000 gold coins of Helen Tina and the gold coins in the hands of the city lord, there are now far more than one million gold coins in Bretel City. Do you think If you want to take it, it depends on whether you have the ability. Stupid pig. Come on!" Standing on the top of the city wall, Han Shuo laughed wildly, pointing at Fass in the distance as if teasing an idiot.
Fass is really angry! Many years. After coming out of Nathan Principality, Fass hadn't been underestimated so much for a long time, looking at the extremely arrogant young city lord on the opposite city wall. Fass had the urge to eat him raw, those bandits under him. The same one feels the same deeply. With a livid face, he began to rush towards the gate of Bretel City.
"Attack. Massacre the city!" Fass roared angrily. An order to attack was issued to the city of Bretel ahead.
"Tu... Slaughter the city!" Jack's knees softened, and he almost collapsed directly on the cold marble floor.
Those citizens of Brettle City who heard the word "massacre" had their hearts relaxed because of Han Shuo's humor, and were instantly driven into the endless abyss. Everyone's eyes were covered in gray. At a loss, I don't know how the woman should respond.
all the time. Although Brettle City has also experienced the cruelty of war, it has never faced the bloody massacre of the city. Otherwise, Brettle City would have been a dead city long ago. They would not just be robbed of their property and food, and they would be able to save their lives. .
Unless it is a bloodthirsty maniac, unless it has endless hatred. Whether it is looting by robbers or war between the two countries, the order to massacre the city will not be issued easily. Because it would mean destroying all living things in a city. This is a true sense of bloodshed everywhere.
Such people will generally be condemned by all countries, and those who dare to slaughter the city will be despised and criticized by their own country, and the party that was slaughtered will retaliate at all costs. However, the act of massacring the city is also rare, and most people dare not do it at all.
Fass, the leader of the Green Fire Bandits who is no longer bound by any country. In the face of Han Shuo's arrogant provocation and insults without regard to face, he could no longer bear the anger in his heart, so he issued this crazy order. He felt that Han Shuo's insult to him could be washed away only by killing all the people in Bretel City.
"Hmph. You are worthy!" Han Shuo on the high wall snorted coldly. Bietou said to the soldiers next to him: "Get out all the chariot rock breakers, I'll see how they die!"
After the "massacre" order was issued, the Green Flame Bandits set a green flame flag. A layer of blood was smeared and turned into a blood-red flame, and the magician on the wooden frame was slowly pushed towards the city of Bretel. The four ballistas were also loaded with arrows and pushed up. Two thousand crazy and angry robbers. The rope iron hook of the ladder carrying the climbing wall has already rushed towards Han Shuo.
Chariots, ballistas, catapults, and kerosene boulders are necessary equipment for defending the city. Under the busyness of hundreds of soldiers, they were pushed out from their hiding places respectively. Divided into all directions and erected on the wide city wall, it's just that. The number of soldiers is as scarce as the number of chariots and ballistas. There are only a few hundred soldiers on the city wall that can accommodate seven or eight thousand people, which is indeed a bit sparse and shabby.
"Kill!" The robbers had rushed over, feeling insulted. He is determined to kill everyone in Brettle City. The leader, Fass, with a livid face, yelled hysterically: "The brother who rushes to the wall first will be rewarded with a thousand coins!"
A huge group of magical flames shot high into the sky from the hands of Fass. This was the signal agreed by the four bandits in advance, and when the signal flame was brilliantly interpreted at high altitude. This time the siege battle officially kicked off.
The bandits, stunned by the light and fragrance of the gold coins, rushed forward with anger mixed with their hearts. Han Shuo, who was watching calmly, did not say a word until they came within range. Only then did the soldiers who were already sweating nervously give the order: "Attack!"
"Boom..."
The roar of the chariot resounded throughout the city. Spewing out a tongue of flame, the arrows of the crossbow cart swished and fell into the group of robbers together with the boulder of the catapult, instantly creating an unsightly and miserable scene. A huge explosion occurred at the place where the flames of the chariot sprayed, and limbs were severed. Skulls flew out among the dust in the sky with blood.
Huge boulders fell. All the robbers who were hit were turned into flesh, and the ballista swished past, and the powerful impact shot through several robbers in a row before stopping. In an instant, blood flowed into a river in front of Bretel City, and corpses lay all over the ground.
