Now that he has made up his mind, Char begins to think about other problems.
He turned his head and glared at Green: "In this case, what way out do we have, even if we use the scorched earth strategy, but with such a few soldiers, I have seen how to defend the city of Odin's 50,000 troops, the soldiers are strong and strong, and the Red Snow Legion is indeed an elite and strong army, and we can't hold it."
"You can't keep it for a long time."
Green shook his head: "But we don't need to keep it long at all" His eyes were a little sharp: "The Odin people are coming from afar, tens of thousands of troops want to eat and drink, and need food, we have burned up the things here and their army is a top priority, the first is to requisition food, the army is cut off, as long as it is cut off for two or three days, I am afraid that there will be chaos, so as long as we retreat in the city and don't go out, stick to it, I judge, with the surname of that guy Manninger, he does not have the courage to be decisive and stoic, he will definitely abandon us, and then wave the army south, The army went to attack other areas because he needed to grab food as quickly as possible, so, I judged, once we put on a posture of sticking, he would not dare to waste time to fight with us, this method can only be used on Manninger's body, Manninger This guy I know, although he is a little cunning, but he lacks a little bit of toughness If I change to other Odin commanders, or if it is Hastings who are killed outside, I will never dare to use this method. ” Green slapped the table and shouted: "One day, two days at most, we only need to hold for two days at most, it is enough for Manninger's army to attack, he will also try to attack the city, but as long as we put on a tough posture to remind him with facts, even if he can capture our city, it will take at least five or six days, then he must not dare to take the risk, because his food is definitely not enough to support it for so long, so he will definitely choose to give up and say something unpleasant, now that the door of our empire is wide open, there is no defense everywhere, he just needs to wave his army and drive straight in, There is a place where he can grab food, so why waste time on us and risk it" Char also had a gleam in his eyes: "Well, what do you mean, as long as we survive the first battle at the beginning, we can wait for a turnaround."
I have to say that Green's words are indeed very reasonable, this famous general nicknamed Mad Dog really sees the only weakness of the Odin.
The Odin people must be anxious to go to other places to grab food to replenish military supplies, and may not risk wasting time to attack Denzel City, as long as their side puts on a hedgehog posture, maybe this is really a chance to survive Although the two discussed it, Char still couldn't help but ask about the current situation in the empire.
"How did the situation become the way it is?"
Green also smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I have been in Denzel City, and most of the news I have obtained has been circulated, which may not be accurate.
However, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor suddenly began to purge the warlords of Osgilia, sent troops into the Red Zone, and after the warlords fled in a big way, they erected the flag of judgment."
Speaking of this, Green glanced at Char and said in a low voice, "There is one more big thing." ” Char sighed, his heart was naturally shocked, why did he go to the wildfire field for so many days, and after he came back, even the sky had changed, thinking of this, he laughed weakly: "What else is the big deal, you can say it." ” "I heard that the reason why His Majesty suddenly broke with those warlord henchmen was the assassination of Kavihir, and His Majesty decided that those warlord henchmen did it."
Char was really stunned at this moment, his eyes bulged, and he looked at Green for a long time before he suddenly stretched his neck and shouted: "What" Cavihill is dead As night fell, a large cloud of dust rose on the horizon, and a troop of cavalry roared in, crossing the undefended border of the Byzantine Empire and finally entering the territory of the Byzantine Empire.
This is a rare invasion of Byzantium's army in several major wars in recent years, so when a group of reindeer cavalry rushed through the hilly mountains and mountains that were recognized as the national border, all the Odin cavalry suddenly sat on the back of the deer and waved the long knives in their hands, shouting excitedly.
After most of the gallop, the mounts of the Odin people have long been exhausted, and the reindeer mount is not as good as the war horse in the ability to gallop long distances, although the Odin people have successfully entered Byzantium, but each Odin cavalry saw that the mount under his crotch was sweating, but due to Manninger's strict orders, he did not dare to rest, and could only grit his teeth and forcibly continue to go deep into the hinterland of Byzantium.
At night, to the surprise of these Odin cavalry, the legendary "fertile and rich" Byzantium had become like this As far as the eye can see, in the farmland on both sides of the road, the source is scorched, and there are still many places where the fire has not been extinguished, and there are still scattered fires.
There was a strong smell of choking in the air.
The Odin cavalry walked slowly, and finally found a village, waited outside the village for a while, and sent two cavalry to sneak into the silent village under the night, and after a while, the two Odin cavalry came out to report that the village was empty A large group of cavalry rushed into the village, and the originally excited cavalry was immediately poured a bucket of cold water on their heads The thirsty warriors of Odin were dismayed to find that they could not find a single piece of food in the village There was not even water to drink, and the original wells in the village were blocked by rocks, and in one of the ponds, as soon as I ran in, I heard a buzzing sound of flies and insects swarming, and I lit a torch to see that the corpses of several slaughtered animals were thrown into the pond, which had already rotted and rotted after soaking, and polluted the water As for the food, naturally there is no more.
All the houses in the village were searched, but no food was found, and as for the granary in the village, it had already turned into a large pile of ashes.
It's like, like, like, "Fuck, did any other Odin army come here before us and robbed it before us?"
The hungry and tired Odin Advance Cavalry had to continue searching, and Hunger and Thirst also slowed them down more and more, and finally when they found the second village, they found that it was also in such a dilapidated ruin, and the leader of the Forward Cavalry finally felt a little uneasy.
The leader of the Bashak, who commanded the forward cavalry, thought for a moment and made the right decision.
"Send two people back and report the news here to the chief leader immediately" The first command is correct, but the second decision is stupid "The rest of the people are resting in place" It has to be said that this leader of Odin, who led the forward cavalry, made a mistake After all, it was only a little more than a day, and even though Green had carried out the scorched earth strategy with tenacity and courage, the time was tight and the manpower was insufficient, so how could he do it so quickly There are still many places at this moment, as long as this team of Odin cavalry continues to gallop south, at most for an hour or two, you can see that several villages and towns near Denzel City are still nervously destroying food and carrying supplies, and many villagers refuse to evacuate If at this time, this Odin forward cavalry immediately forced south despite fatigue, then it is likely that they rested like this, but gave Char and Green a whole day to continue to scorch the earth Manninger's army was made up of infantry, and a two-legged man naturally ran much slower than a four-legged reindeer.
It wasn't until noon the next day that Manninger's army finally arrived in the territory of the Byzantine Empire, and at this moment, it was already the third day since Char was deceived.
After hearing the report of the forward cavalry who was anxiously running back, Manninger was also greatly shocked, and immediately forced the march south desperately Although the Red Snow Legion is also a strong and elite army, but such a forced southward movement, many days of exhaustion, by the time they really rushed into the Byzantine border, the team looked scattered, and many Odin warriors had already fallen behind along the way.
Although Manninger knew that such a forced march was too inappropriate, after learning the news that the striker had brought back, the Bashak patriarch was anxious Although he had already received the news in his heart, when he really entered Mooreshire, and saw that the farmland had turned into a black scorched earth, Manninger picked a few picks out of the corner of his eye, rode on the snow-white horse, and suddenly shouted: "Good good boy, good boy" He yelled angrily, and suddenly his body shook and he fell from his horse.
Many leaders of the nearby tribes hurriedly swarmed up to help him up, Manninger opened his eyes, pushed everyone away, and shouted angrily: "I didn't die of yelling" He struggled to his feet, looking at the smoke-smoking village in the distance, like a ghost realm among the ruins, Manninger's eyes became extremely hideous "Okay, what a ruthless boy" Manninger laughed, but the laughter was angry: "The kid who came to deceive me dared to come alone and tell a big lie in front of me, and the knife and axe did not change his face, and I only thought that he was brave and found out that he was fooled, and I felt that this kid was not only courageous, but also cunning and brave enough, and he was a talent, hahahaha, but now it seems that this kid still has such a ruthless heart, and he has a set of scorched earth strategies, and he has a set of Lao Tzu to underestimate him" At this time, there was a forward cavalry in front of him who saw the arrival of the army, and the leader of Odin, who was the forward cavalry, ran back with people and asked to see Manninger.
Manninger shouted for a while, and was staring at the black soil in a daze, when he heard that the leader of the vanguard was coming, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and strode over.
The leader of the strikers was kneeling down on one knee to salute, but suddenly he saw the patriarch rushing over with a furious face, and before he could speak, Manninger had already kicked him in the heart, kicked this guy over, Manninger kicked him with hatred, and the leader of the strikers immediately spat blood from his mouth Manninger went up, pulled out his long knife, and slashed at the opponent's neck The skull rose to the sky, and a cavity of blood spurted out Everyone else was stunned, and they didn't know why the patriarch was so angry, and he directly cut off the leader of the strikers without saying a word "The fool mistook me for a big thing, I want to kill him 10,000 times" Someone next to him finally spoke: "Patriarch" "Don't you think so" Manninger turned around, threw the long knife in his hand on the ground, and shouted: "My order is for him to lead his troops south first, and raid Denzel City at the speed of cavalry, what did this idiot do, he found out about the anomaly here, and sent someone to report that I was right, but he actually ignored my orders, and stayed here, and the good situation was all buried by this idiot" Seeing that the leaders of his tribe were puzzled, Manninger looked over, and met a pair of blank eyes, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: There is a lack of resourcefulness in his tribe, although there are many warriors of the Bashak tribe, but there are too few brains, "You don't understand, then I tell you that the Byzantine kid deceived us the day before yesterday in order to delay time, and now it seems that he ran back and burned all his grain and farmland, and wanted us to have no food to collect, but he still didn't have enough time, although we were fooled, It's just that he delayed it for a day, and one day is not enough time for him to do a scorched earth strategy, I am worried that these Byzantines will come up with some tricks, so they will order the strikers to rush south to attack Denzel City at all costs, just to avoid the possibility of accidents, but this bastard is good, when he saw that the situation was not right, he actually rashly ignored my orders and stopped, but knowing that the Byzantines' scorched earth strategy was not enough time, he stopped here for another day and a night, But it gave the Byzantines one more day so that they could complete the scorched earth strategy, and now I can bet that we will go south to the city of Denzel, and we will not find food for two days."
Manninger said this, his expression was gloomy: "Order, the forward cavalry returns to the Chinese army to let the warriors rest for an hour, and then set off for Denzel City" Some of his subordinates were puzzled again: "Patriarch, since the situation is urgent, why do you need to rest for an hour?"
"It's useless."
Manninger shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not fast when it's time to be fast, the opportunity has been lost, and it's too late now, it's better to let everyone rest and recuperate, and when I get to Denzel City, I want to take a good look at that kid" By the time Odin's men appeared on the horizon, it was already late at night.
After three days of preparation, a rudimentary fortification had been erected under the city of Denzel.
In the wilderness outside the city, some of the groves were cut down or burned by fire.
Beneath the city walls, crude, makeshift wooden stakes were planted in the ground.
It's a little rough, but it's barely a bit of a look in terms of width and thickness.
The gates were closed, and the defenders above the walls were ready.
Because not long after the last war, as a temporary command post in the theater, there were originally a number of ordnance that had not been used after the last war.
There was no shortage of bows and arrows, and a few ballistae were also pushed up the walls.
Originally, these ordnance, to be honest, the moths in the garrison of the predecessor colluded with the officials of the military region in charge of the theater during the last war, and quietly withheld them, and they originally made up their minds to fill their own pockets, but it happened that the original buyer was a warlord of a military region in the southwest, but later for some reasons, the price was not negotiated, and the matter was delayed.
But I didn't want to drag it out until now, but it happened to be cheaper Char.
At this moment, the whole city has been mobilized, all the soldiers of the garrison have gone up to the city wall, and other tax soldiers and prison guards have also been formed into a team to join the ranks of the city defenders.
Char even went to the prison in the city, which originally held dozens of prisoners in the city of Denzel, and Char promised in public that as long as he could hold the city, he would be exempted from their crimes after the war, and he would also reward them with thirty gold coins.
There were also the guards of the passing caravans, all of whom were recruited by Char, who persuaded the few caravans that happened to be trapped in the city of Denzel.
"The Odin people are coming, once the city is breached, the goods in your caravan will definitely be looted, and you won't even be able to save your life at that time, so it is better to cooperate with me and help me defend the city, and I will be rewarded heavily afterwards."
There were even two caravans from Odin in the city, and Char immediately confiscated all the other party's goods and drove all those Odin out of the city.
Although this approach was a bit inappropriate, Char didn't dare to take the risk, in case there were Odin's annihilators in these Odin caravans, he didn't dare to take such a risk now.

I have made all the preparations or in other words, in the limited time, everything that can be done has been done, and there is no way to do what cannot be done.
In short, when Char stood on the city wall and finally saw the army of Odin approaching in the distance, he suddenly felt relieved, which made him feel a little ridiculous.
Damn, anyway, it's dead or alive, it depends on this time the torches on the city walls are bright, and there are still many woods burning in the wilderness below the city.
So the army of Odin turned out, and both sides saw it clearly.
When the black-pressed Odin army was displayed in the distance below the city, and tens of thousands of majestic Odin warriors spread out in the wilderness like ant colonies, the Byzantine defenders on the city walls were suddenly shocked These defenders are a rabble that has been temporarily pulled up, although there are some local garrisons, but they were originally miscellaneous soldiers, and they have not experienced any battles, and at this moment they saw tens of thousands of Odin majestic soldiers under the city, and their momentum was soaring, and they were even more reminiscent of the legend of the barbaric and ferocious Odin people heard in Pingyue, many of the defenders turned pale, and some people were so frightened that their whole bodies trembled on the spot.
Char stood on top of the city tower and saw that many soldiers around him showed a look of fear, and sighed a little in his heart.
Morale is low at the moment, and if you can't think of a way, I'm afraid it will not be good for the defense of the city Thinking of this, Char's eyes rolled, and he suddenly jumped on the wall of the city wall and stomped on it, shouting loudly at the black-pressed Odin array in the distance.
"Manninger, you Odin people are from afar as the host, please have a cup of tea first" After saying that, Char laughed, and under the eyes of tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, he stood on top of the city wall, unbuttoned his pants, and pulled a bubble of urine on the city Seeing him do this, everyone was stunned Char, the bubble bird, took a long time, and laughed and said: "Brothers, we are guests from afar, don't let the Odin people laugh at us for not knowing etiquette."
Standing next to him was Alfrecut, this guy followed Xia Yado and said, knowing the surname of this adult, he also laughed and shouted: "The lord has sent a message, brothers, let's invite Odin barbarian to tea."
Immediately, the mercenaries around him, who were originally under him, also laughed, and dozens of men jumped on the wall and stomped on it, stood in a row, unbuttoned their pants, and urinated on the city.
Immediately, I saw a row of men standing there, and the mercenaries with a water column were even louder, and after urinating, they deliberately shook at the Odin army in the distance, turned around, pulled down their buttocks, and slapped the enemy twice.
In this way, many defenders on the city wall burst into laughter, and for a while, the fear faded a lot.
The Odin people in the distance saw it clearly, and many of the Odin people showed anger on their faces, and some shouted and cursed.
For a while, the city and the city shouted and cursed, and after a while, I saw the Odin army separated, and a snow-white and majestic war horse slowly came out, and immediately sat a majestic and mighty old man with silver hair, who was Manninger.
"The city" Manninger's voice was cold, but when he shouted, the voice clearly fell on the ears of tens of thousands of people above and below the city walls "It's the Sharpa in the city" Manninger sneered: "Come out and answer" Char looked at it carefully, and also smiled and stepped forward: "Your Excellency Patriarch Manninger, haha, I'm sorry, I used tricks to coax you that day, Lao Tzu's real name is Char Thundering Moore County Armament Chief."
When Manninger heard this, his expression moved: "Char's thunder turned out to be you, I heard that in the last war, there was a kid in Byzantium, and even Hastings dared to compete, and it was really good."
After a pause, Manninger shouted proudly: "You are just a small county guard, how many troops can you be trapped in the lonely city at the moment, and there are no reinforcements, I have tens of thousands of Odin soldiers here, as long as I give the order, the city is broken, it is better for you to open the city and surrender, I" Char didn't wait for him to finish, so he laughed loudly: "Okay, okay, what's the use of this kind of nonsense, Lao Tzu even burned his own territory and spent so much money, is it to surrender?"
After speaking, he snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of one of the guards beside him, pulled the bow and arrows, and shouted: "Do you know that Lao Tzu once made an oath in the battle of the Arbucket Plain."
"Oh what" Char didn't answer, he let out a long laugh, and the bowstring in his hand shook, and a meteor shot out Manninger sat on his horse and saw a ray of light shoot at him, and immediately shouted loudly, drew his sword and swung it, and heard a muffled sound, and the blade in his hand blocked the arrow, but his blade also snapped into two broken blades and fell to the ground, plunged into the earth, and buzzed and vibrated incessantly Manninger only felt that his arm was sore, and his mouth was in great pain, and he couldn't help but look up at the city wall in surprise Char took a deep breath, and suddenly roared like thunder "In my life, I will kill all the Odin" To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
