Chapter 493

The Crusades of various countries did not start at the same time, but naturally had their own order.

The closest is the most active Italian city-state, an army of citizens and businessmen.

They are well equipped, but their fighting will is not very firm. They fight with the wind as fierce as a tiger and hard as soft as a shrimp. The joint forces of the principality almost wiped them out without much effort.

But then the troops from Poland, the Holy Roman Empire, France, England and other countries approached one by one. The war became more and more frequent, and the hatred between Crusaders and orthodox believers became more and more profound.

Wei Ran led the eagle regiment to fight. He performed miraculous deeds in successive campaigns and won more with less. The application of military situation and military skills from Eastern strategists has made these Western armies accustomed to array warfare suffer a lot.

Wei Ran changed the eagle regiment's heavy riding to light riding. He repeatedly used his superb mobility to implement strategic detours, harass marching infantry, cut off grain roads, and even captured a large number of pilgrims as the precursor to counter attack the Crusaders.

He is also good at taking advantage of the disharmony between the armies of the eastern expedition, instigating discord, spreading rumors, shaking the morale of the troops and delaying their actions.

His actions have no lower limit and only pursue victory. Such extreme tactics make the crusaders of the eastern expedition call him Satan's left hand and the sickle of death. No one feels terrible.

On the battlefield, the morale of the Crusaders will drop sharply in the face of Wei Ran, who is wearing dark Rune armor and leads cavalry raids.

Out of hatred for Wei Ran, the Crusaders naturally did not send less assassins to assassinate Wei Ran, but Wei Ran's strength was not what they could imagine. All assassins who failed to assassinate were tortured extremely cruelly by him.

It was inserted through his anus with a wooden stake and pierced out of his mouth. It was nailed on the only way of the Crusader. All the enemies who came trembled. Of course, the idea of puncture punishment came from Dracula, who seems to have a unique hobby.

Many victories made many principalities with survival crisis hand over all their troops to Wei Ran.

Even so, the huge gap in national strength can not be made up by a tactical victory.

Wei Ran, who created many brilliant victories without a defeat, faced a very difficult situation at this time. Because apart from the Crusaders from the West and the Black Sea, even the defeated Ottoman army also attacked him from the East.

The logistics road was cut off by the light cavalry of the Ottoman Empire. In order to preserve his effective strength, Wei Ran had to retreat step by step and gradually give up many strategic places.

However, around the last territory of the three principalities, an inevitable frontal battle finally broke out.

At an absolute disadvantage, the principality coalition still maintained strong fighting spirit even because of the previous victories commanded by Wei Ran.

However, in a month of high-density fighting, the elite of the principality were almost lost, and only the soldiers of the eagle regiment remained. At this time, the situation was beyond human power to recover.

The three principalities recognized the situation and asked for surrender, but they were sternly rejected by the Crusaders and the Ottoman Empire! But they fought desperately, but two of the three countries had been destroyed, and all the destroyed countries suffered from the slaughter of the city.

Now the Principality of valachia is the last territory, but it is heavily surrounded and becomes an isolated city. To the West are the Crusades of the eastern expedition, to the southeast are the vengeful Ottoman armies, and to the Northeast are the Crusades and the Black Sea fleet of the Ottoman Empire.

It seems to reproduce the scene that the Byzantine capital Constantinople was besieged and fell, and the people in the city were terrified.

Different from that time, the Ottoman Empire allowed Constantinople to surrender, and after capturing the city, it did not carry out inhuman slaughter.

However, due to the previous performance of Wei Yanjie, the current valachia city-state has caused great damage and casualties to the Crusaders and the Ottoman Empire.

Now it is impossible for them to agree to surrender and swear to their respective religions outside the city to purify all living creatures in the city and eliminate heresy.

At this time, the morale of the city guarding side was almost reduced to the extreme, but everyone still maintained a tenacious fighting will because of the fear of slaughtering the city.

Wei Ran patrolled over the city wall. Everyone's face was full of fear and tension. He couldn't say any words of comfort.

If you want the military to win, you should win before the government. Military victory should be supported by politics. The coalition forces of the principality failed to find enough allies politically and made enemies on many sides. The end is almost doomed.

He shook his head and prepared to go into the castle to find Dracula. This guy has been fuelling the flames, bewitching people and promoting hatred in parliament, making a group of politicians with poor ability lose their correct judgment and developing a war that should be avoided to this extent.

He must be responsible for the war. When Wei Yanzheng thought so, suddenly a child's voice came and stopped him.

"Mr. van Helsing, do we have a future? Mom said we would all die here. "

Wei Ran turned his head and saw that he was a dirty boy, dressed in rags and unkempt. He seemed to be less than ten years old. He held a short sword in his hand, but he didn't know who put it into him.

Wei Ran knew he couldn't keep it, but he couldn't tell the cruel truth to a child with childlike innocence in his eyes. He could only deceive him: "little guy, we can keep it until the end of time. Don't worry, they will withdraw. Go home. This is not where you should come. "

"My father is dead. The officer said that our family must send someone to the wall. I'm the biggest in my family. I can only come."

Although the situation is tense, it has not developed to the point where children need to defend the city. Wei Ran is angry, but he feels helpless.

After all, this is not his country. He can't fight for a foreign country until the last drop of blood.

"Go back and say it's me. No one dares to take you."

He touched the child's head and went to the castle.

The child shouted behind Wei Ran: "Mr. Fan Haixin, my father's name is Donald banhughes, and I'm Ryan banhughes II. When my father was alive, he said you were a great general and could lead us to win the final victory. He was willing to shed the last drop of blood to protect his hometown. Should we trust you?"

More and more children about the same age as Ryan came out and stood behind timidly looking at Wei Ran.

Wei's heart trembled, but he didn't dare to turn back or promise, because he was not a God and he couldn't do it.

He hurried to the castle in the middle of the city and looked for Dracula everywhere. On the way, he met the people of the Yin returning team. Everyone looked at Wei Ran with concern and pointed out where Dracula was.

Because these teammates are not good at commanding operations, they either stay behind or protect important figures such as Dracula. However, after understanding the war, we all know that Wei Ran is under great pressure now.

Wei Ran met Dracula in the only garden in the castle. The bastard was enjoying the wine, and his waiter Charles stood aside respectfully.

Wei Ran was so angry that he almost wanted to beat him with his fist. It was this guy who added fuel to the fire in the rear. Despite his repeated letters and objections, he continued to encourage hatred and war, which made the situation develop to this stage.

Dracula saw that Wei Yan didn't say a word and came over with his fist. Even Charles was pushed forward and stopped. He quickly raised his hands.

"Oh, my brother, I know you've been under a lot of pressure these days, but now is not the time to vent on me."

"The more I see your face, the more I hate it. I can't help but want to smash it into meat patties to see what happens."

"Well, well, I know you met a group of children on the road, and then your defensive will was almost broken by these innocent little guys. But I want to tell you that these little guys are sent by the supreme consul. He just wants you to make up your mind to stick to this city and live with it, okay? "

Wei Yan raised his fist in the air and stopped, but he remembered the face of the child named Ryan. The child's eyes can't lie.
