Chapter 498 Siege Plan

As the order of Crown Prince Garrett was conveyed to the nobles, they, like Ronin, chose to march the next day.

Along the roads leading to the Misty City from the camps, a team of more than 100,000 people was stationed one kilometer away from the city wall before noon.

Ronin's warhorse stood on the hill, looking at the noble coalition of the Kingdom of Alduin. It was the first time he saw such a large army.

Looking at the city of Misty City, the gates are now closed and the drawbridge is pulled up, as if they are ready to hold on.

Just looking at the top of the other side's city wall, it seems that there are not many people and horses, and I don't know how they are prepared?

Odoro came to report: "My lord, someone from the Crown Prince came to inform you that he wants you to go to the big tent and discuss the siege plan with other nobles."

Ronin nodded slightly, squeezed his legs lightly on the horse's belly, and walked towards the Crown Prince's big tent.

The atmosphere in the big tent was very lively. They were not discussing how to fight in the afternoon, but were bragging about how they killed the enemy on the battlefield yesterday.

Willis, the Viscount of Heiyu Bay, said as he took a few sips of wine. His old face was red and he spoke louder and louder.

As Roning entered the big tent, the lively atmosphere paused for a moment.

"Hahaha, this is Marquis Roning of Moonlight Valley, right?"

Willis stood up and came to Roning's side, looking him up and down, and said with a smile: "Not bad, he looks a bit like Lulans, but much better than that old guy!"

Roning smiled and greeted him politely, "Viscount Willis seems to be more familiar with my grandfather?"

The black jade produced in Heiyu Bay is one of the materials for making extraordinary weapons. He will definitely do business with the other party in the future. It's good to get to know each other in this situation.

Willis gulped down a sip of wine, "Your grandfather was very vigorous and powerful at the beginning! It's a pity that I have only met him a few times at banquets and have never been on the battlefield together. Why didn't he come this time?"

Roning shook his head.

Misty City is the old man's sad place. This time, Wushan has Melonica, and Ronin has Redar and others, so he didn't come.

Thirty years of torture have made Lulans no longer as sharp as he was in the past. Now he prefers to enjoy a comfortable old age.

"Ronin, sit here."

Gushan also stood up to invite him. The seat is located on the right side of the main seat, which seems to be reserved for military advisers.

"I heard that the damage in West Wind Hill yesterday was very low. Come and tell us what the specific situation is?"

The leader of the Griffin Knights, the Earl of Shuangfengling, also nodded to Ronin.

"I have heard of your reputation for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you. After the battle of Misty City, if you have the opportunity, you must guide me."

"Earl Iben is too modest!"

Ronin sat down, "If you talk about fame, I grew up listening to your reputation since I was a child, and I have admired you for a long time."

Although this was a bit polite, it was not fabricated out of thin air.

In addition to the well-known reputation of Crown Prince Garrett, the leader of the Griffin Knights of the Kingdom of Alduin is also famous.

As the four people chatted, the atmosphere in the big tent gradually recovered.

Ronin also learned about the battle situation of the basic battlefield yesterday.

The ones with the most losses were Garrett and Gushan.

Although the outpost camp of Misty City did not increase its troops, the number of troops stationed all year round was not comparable to that of Watchtower, and the heavy losses were also expected.

There were many garrison soldiers, and there were also many prisoners after the war.

It is worth mentioning that in order to reduce the pressure of resettling prisoners of war, Garrett ordered the execution of thousands of people, including soldiers of civilian origin and honorary knights of the noble class.

Such a move made the nobles present feel a little inappropriate. After all, nobles enjoy certain immunity, and staying and letting the other family come up with enough money or materials to redeem can also make a fortune.

Moreover, more importantly, the big tent is full of nobles, all of whom enjoy immunity.

Garrett's behavior will undoubtedly affect their rights and interests.

After all, who can guarantee that they will not lose one day?

If they are caught, and the other party imitates Garrett's approach and kills people directly, who can they go to for justice?

However, the attack on Misty City is imminent, and everyone does not want to bother about this issue.

In Ronin's opinion, the issue of prisoners is indeed a trouble.

After all, this is the extraordinary world.

Those low-strength prisoners can be tied up with hemp ropes and iron chains, and they can still be restrained, but when they reach the gold level and meteor level, they need to be equipped with professional detention tools.

Fortunately, the number of knights of these two levels is limited, and these problems can be solved by purchasing iron chains and locks made by Heiyu from Heiyu Bay.

But once the number of prisoners is too large, the investment in personnel to guard them will also increase accordingly.

If you encounter a critical moment of a forced march, you have to leave a group of people to guard the prisoners, which is indeed not an easy thing to deal with.

In order to solve this problem, there will be a special organization for slave trafficking in the rear of each war.

Most of the prisoners can be handed over to them for transportation and transformed into slaves.

Ronin had no black jade chains, and there were no slaves following his team. If Placido had not surrendered, he really didn't know how to deal with the prisoners of Watchtower.

Thinking of this, he went to Willis and prepared to buy a few sets of professional black jade chains.

Willis narrowed his eyes and smiled. No, business has come to him.

With the Black Yu Chain, all Black Yu ores, Black Yu weapons, and Black Yu shields will be arranged in the future.

His Heiyu family has one more business partner.

"Everyone is here!"

Garrett walked into the tent with confident steps, his eyes fell on Ronin, and he nodded a little abnormally.

"Very good, Luo Ning is here too. We will probably win this afternoon's battle easily."

Everyone secretly speculated that it was Bruno who put pressure on Garrett and changed his attitude towards Ronin.

Luo Ning didn't say much, just nodded symbolically in response to make both sides look better.

Garrett strode to the main seat and sat down, getting straight to the point.

"For more than thirty years, Misty City has always been a stain on all the major families here. Today is the time to wash away this shame!"

He said loudly: "I won't talk nonsense. There are four gates in Misty City. In addition to the south gate, the east, west and north gates all have roads leading to us. Therefore, I plan to divide the coalition forces into three direction, attack at the same time! And the south gate..."

Having said this, he looked at Luo Ning.

"Luo Ning, you just need to bring your dragon to attack the south gate."

Luo Ning frowned slightly, "The four doors were broken at the same time, which sounds really shocking."

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "His Royal Highness said that I agree with attacking the east, west and north gates at the same time, but I don't think it is necessary to attack the south gate."

"oh?"

A trace of displeasure flashed across Garret's face, but he did not question Ronin like before, but asked: "Why?"

"Even if I ride a dragon and break through the south gate, what's the use? Our army can't go around to the south and enter the city. So I suggest that we choose a main attack direction, concentrate our strength, and give the enemy a fatal blow!"

Luo Ning's words were clear and firm. He looked around at the noble generals present and continued:

"We are not familiar with the terrain of Mist City and the city walls are strong. If we spread out our forces, we will only give the enemy an opportunity to defeat them one by one."

"As for the South Gate, as I just said, it does not constitute a real strategic advantage. Unless we can quickly and effectively guide the follow-up troops to the South Gate, otherwise, it will be just a meaningless show of power."

Luo Ning continued: "I propose that we use the dragon's high flexibility and air superiority to carry out devastating strikes on the enemy's weak points at critical moments, creating favorable conditions for the coalition's breakthrough."

The nobles and generals present listened to Luo Ning's words and nodded secretly.

A hint of appreciation flashed in Viscount Willis's eyes, "Marquis Luoning's insights are quite unique. Indeed, if we can maximize the effectiveness of the dragon, our chances of winning this battle will be greatly increased."

Earl Gushan also pondered for a moment and said: "I agree with Luo Ning. There are considerable risks in dividing the troops to fight. We should concentrate our superior forces and focus on one direction."

He didn't know if it was to save Garret's face, but he added:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's proposal also makes sense. Perhaps we can also deploy a certain amount of troops at the east gate and west gate to disperse the opponent's main force. After all, the army in Misty City is not as large as ours."

Earl Ibn also agreed: "This method is good. If the north gate is extremely difficult to attack or there is an emergency, Luo Ning can use the flexibility of the dragon to directly transfer to the two sides as a breakthrough, enter the city, and then kill from the inside. Towards the north door.”

He added: "Although there are Dragon Eagle troops in Misty City, my Griffin Knights will cooperate with you."

The dragon eagle, which is said to have a trace of dragon blood, is the signature flying monster of the Kingdom of Tricia and has the same status as the griffon of the Alduin family.

As a border count, it is normal for Ural to have a Dragonhawk squad.

But without the support of the kingdom, how many dragon eagles can there be in Ural?

Garrett looked at everyone talking to each other, and although he was a little angry, he did not jump out to object.

According to his idea, attacking the four gates at the same time will cause chaos to the opponent and also interfere with the deployment of troops in the Misty City, thus giving their attack an advantage.

At the same time, letting Luo Ning attack the south gate is equivalent to moving away from the main battlefield, preventing more people from seeing the opponent's elegance and the shock of the dragon, which to a certain extent weakens Luo Ning's presence and military exploits.

But now it seems that others don't seem to have this intention.

"Then according to what Gushan and Iben said, use the north gate as the main attack direction, and the two wings as assists."

Garrett took over the topic: "Now, let's talk about the troop arrangements in the three directions." (End of this chapter)
