"Lord, what now" Ash's face was covered with sweat, this was the third siege she led was repulsed, the castle was too tightly guarded, the steel structure inside made it unshakable, and the military design intention made it possible to shoot arrows or spears that cost people lives anywhere in the castle.
Long Yu didn't have the slightest idea of being anxious, listened to Ash's report, and put down the military report in his hand: "I won't attack for the time being, collect the troops and return to the camp."
"It's only noon when the troops are collected, Lord, or I'll try again."
Ash said.
"No need, that's all for today, you're tired too, I'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Oh."
Ash nodded and walked out.
Yi Shuihan sat under Long Yu and sorted out all kinds of information collected, and said while watching: "Big brother, have you thought of a way to attack the city" Long Yu shook his head, "No."
"Then why don't you let Ash attack the city," Yi Shuihan continued to ask.
Haven't you heard the story of one boom, then decline, and three exhaustions" Long Yu asked with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Yi Shuihan blinked his eyes and said thoughtfully, "I seem to have heard you talk about it."
"Xiao Han, can you find a way to find out how much food is still in the castle here" Long Yu didn't explain again, but suddenly remembered something and asked.
How much grain is there Reed is the capital of the Eastern Kingdom, how can there be a few years of grain stockpiled.
Yi Shuihan thought about it and returned.
"That's the previous reserve, what if you add more than 100,000 people," Long Yu continued to ask.
"Then I'll figure it out."
Yi Shuihan nodded, "It's best to hurry up and suspend the siege before you find out."
Long Yu stood up.
"Pausing the siege of the city, that's not a waste of food" Yi Shuihan's face twitched when he heard this, you don't know what a terrifying amount of rations for a day of 700,000 troops is.
"How can it be a waste of food, this is to recuperate."
Long Yu said with a smile.
Time passed quickly, and in the evening of the next day, Yi Shuihan got the information, put a report on Long Yu's table, Yi Shuihan said: "There are 78,000 people in the city here, including Fidel's family and slaves, plus farmers, blacksmiths, carpenters, and ordinary residents, and now there are 116,000 more sergeants, a total of 194,000, and their food can only be used for these people to eat and drink for a month. ” "So little in a month" Long Yu asked with some surprise, he originally thought that at least the food in this city could be eaten for half a year, if this was the case, he would open up other paths, and it would be a big deal to use the teleportation array to bypass Reed Castle, but now when he heard it for a month, he couldn't help but feel a little moved.
"yes, I think it's weird, but it's true."
Yi Shuihan said suspiciously.
In fact, this has something to do with the habits of the High Elves, they are different from humans, they like to store gold and silver treasures, not food, even if their territory is harvested, in addition to the rations of the year, the others will be exchanged for gold and silver treasures, and gold and silver treasures are more widely used than food in many places, so Fidel did not get rid of this habit, in his huge castle, in fact, there are only rations, no food.
Think about it, 200,000 people eat and drink, what a terrifying number it will be every day, and this dwindling ration will not increase, what a disturbing thing it will be for the High Elves who are nested inside.
"Then we'll trap it for a month and let them surrender without a fight."
Long Yu slapped the table and decided.
"Xiao Han, send a few legions out tomorrow to block the material transportation channels leading to Reed Castle in four places, and I will spend a month trapping them."
Long Yu admonished.
"Got it, big brother."
Yi Shuihan nodded.
Then Long Yu turned to look at the map hanging on the back wall, "As soon as Reed conquers it, the entire Eastern Kingdom will be mine, and then I will have a base to compete with them for hegemony."
Long Yu circled a red circle on the map, and then a few arrows marked out, Yi Shuihan saw that the nearest arrow was marked to the southeast, and he couldn't help but light up.
"Big brother, do you want to turn from east to south, then south to west, and finally subdue the central and northern regions" Yi Shuihan asked as he looked at the map.
Long Yu nodded and said: "The south is not a big nobleman with a climate for now, all of them are small nobles who are troubled, it is easier to clean up, and the west is more troublesome, but it is also easier to deal with than the north and the middle, let's pick up the soft persimmons first and pinch them to practice their strength." ” "But in my opinion, once we take Reed Castle, it is estimated that it will not go so smoothly again, they should be able to realize it," Yi Shuihan asked with some concern.
"That's okay, they are already alive, even if they form a coalition, they will not be united, and if they can't take it in the east, we are in danger of retreating to the far east."
Long Yu nodded to the map and said.
"That's right."
Yi Shuihan nodded.
"Marshal, the food and grass in the city can only last for a month, if they are trapped in the city, don't we wait for death" The quartermaster said anxiously, Fidel's brows furrowed tightly, he had just received a report from the scouts, they had been besieged, as for how those besieged troops crossed the Fansai River in front of the castle, Fidel was still just as confused.
There are no water or land routes, and the only thing that can still hope at the moment is Amst, Fidel looked at the open window melancholy, how he hoped that the black eagle who reported the news could arrive as soon as possible, and when he was upset, suddenly a white eagle came from the window, and landed on Fidel's desk with a gust of wind.
"Protection Marshal" I don't know which guard shouted, and suddenly the sound of drawing a sword was heard.
"Fidel, loyal general of the Empire, don't come unharmed."
The white eagle turned into a cloud of white smoke with a "bang", and out of the smoke came an old man in a white robe, although the old man was old, but his temperament was extraordinary, Fidel hurriedly sat up from his seat, and respectfully bowed, "I have seen the sect leader." ” "No need to be polite."

Amst walked straight to the side of the sofa and sat down, pulled up his long sleeves and said, "General Fidel, it's really not peaceful here, I was almost shot down by the arrows in the sky when I came here just now.
Amst seemed joking, but Fidel could tell that he was telling himself that Reed Castle had been locked down.
"Sect Master, it's hard to put it into words."
Fidel replied with a bitter face: "The human beings who came this time are really too powerful, and they are fundamentally different from what the predecessors mentioned.
"Oh" Amstall suddenly put away his contempt for humanity and hurriedly asked, "What a powerful method" "Their army is well-trained, very well-armed, and has super magic cannons, and the most troublesome thing is that they can be elusive" Fidel knew that saying this would make people think that he was making excuses for his failure, but it was true.
Then Fidel recounted in detail how he was ambushed, Amst's eyebrows tightened, and he returned after a while: "This time it's a big problem, humans seem to have a teleportation array."
"Teleportation Array Sect Master, the teleportation magic array is extremely complicated, it still needs to be operated by a magician, and it can't change the position at will, even if humans still have space magicians who can draw a teleportation array, but it is impossible to evade my scout's detection, any magic will produce magic traces, it won't be so mysterious."
Fidel shook his head.
"What you said is an ordinary magic array, as far as I know, a long time ago, when space magic was at its peak, there was an extremely anti-heaven magic artifact, that thing is called the Seven Degrees Gold Teleportation Array, which requires complex operation techniques, only need energy to urge, you can teleport anytime and anywhere, and there will be no magic left."
Amst said with a heavy face.
"The Seven Golden Teleportation Array is impossible, it's an ancient thing, two thousand years have passed, how can there be" Fidel still couldn't believe it, after all, the objects from two thousand years ago were too far away, but Amster shook his head slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't forget who the master of the continent is now, the thousand-year war has fallen countless artifact treasures, and the only ones who can get them are human beings, otherwise, how do you explain that nearly 10,000 troops appeared behind you at will" "How is that?"
Despite his experience in many battles, Fidel was also at a loss in the face of an opponent with that kind of anti-heaven artifact.
"The only way now is to kill the master" Two cold lights flashed in Amster's eyes, and Fidel's heart moved, and he said in a low voice: "The sect leader means to kill that human" "Well, the barbarians are brave and fearless, and as long as they deal with the humans, they are nothing more than a rabble."
Amst nodded.
"It's a good way, but that human is very smart, he is in the middle of a large army, I am afraid it is not easy to kill him, and I have heard that his strength should not be underestimated."
Fidel thought about it, but still felt that the chances of success were slim.
"I have my own way to lure him out, and when the time comes, you just need to cooperate with me, and your masters will be transferred, so that he will definitely die."
Amst said confidently, Fidel gritted his teeth and nodded, there is only this way now, Amstor will not hesitate to use such means as the sect leader, why should he pity any reputation, besides, if Reed Castle is breached, I am afraid that the family's reputation for thousands of years will be ruined.
After some deliberation, Amster finally worked out a detailed plan, and when everything was ready, he began to wait quietly for Long Yu to take the bait.
"Big brother, your letter."
Yi Shuihan walked in with an envelope sealed with fire paint, Long Yu was concentrating on studying those Taoist books that had not yet been read, and took it casually and opened it, Long Yu's expression changed slightly.
"What's wrong," Yi Shuihan asked curiously, "It was sent by Filina."
"How did Filina know you were coming" Yi Shuihan frowned, "You forgot, this Fidel is her own uncle."
Long Yu put the letter on the table, sighed and sat down
