After some cruel words, he threw down the flag, and Ike immediately turned and left; Then out of the array came rows of crossbows and Hussars with horn bows. With the rain of arrows, they politely and embarrassingly "welcomed" the dwarf sentinels home.

Whether you go home or not, make sure you let them go all the way.

On the wall of the fortress, the dwarves almost watched their messengers flee in the rain of arrows, which were pierced by countless arrows and fell in a pool of blood one by one; The arrows like locusts, like straw, covered the open space outside the fortress.

When they saw the last Messenger full of blood foam and struggling to fall half a step away from the city gate, the dwarves on the city wall were completely angry, staring at each other, beating their weapons angrily and stepping on the city wall with iron boots.

This is not a declaration of war, this is slapping them in the face!

Soon, the horn sounded one by one on the walls and sentry towers of the silver helmet mountain fortress; In less than a quarter of an hour, with the toothache of the mechanical shaft, rows of catapults and catapults roared the deepest.

The roar of the storm seemed as if the whole world was collapsing. The falling earth and rock plowed the positive land, and the sand and stone splashed, bringing a dull loud noise, tilting the power of destroying the sky and the earth.

But it doesn't make any sense.

Long before the dwarf bombardment, the Rangers and crossbows withdrew from the army; The long-range, or projection weapons, of this generation basically follow a "game setting" known to most people.

The javelin has almost 20 to 40 steps, the crossbow has 80 to 120 steps, the small projection weapon can reach 200 to 300 steps, and the large similar catapult has almost 400 to 500 steps.

Of course, as foundry masters and engineering experts, dwarves can often create more powerful projection weapons, such as 800 steps away - but the hit rate must be much worse.

And Loren's army is a thousand steps away... Aiming at him is better than directly aiming at the moon - because their hit rate is the same.

Therefore, the dwarf's projection weapon bombardment has more symbolic significance than practical significance; With the experience of the battle of Qianzhang city and the popularization of alchemists' knowledge of projection weapons, soldiers know that those messy things can't fall on their heads and won't hurt their morale at all.

So in the roar of the sky, some "strange" scenes appeared; On the one hand, the dwarf people roared on the wall and made continuous oblique attacks on the army array of Bain in the distance;

On the other side, the silent Byrne army gradually gathered, began to dig trenches, pile up earth bases, and build siege and anti siege positions.

Only occasionally, a few Boyi Hussars stood outside the trench, surrounded by horses, drank milk wine, chewed the dried bacon, pointed at the nearby explosion and the dwarves on the wall, and guessed when these straight intestines could find that they couldn't hit them at all.

But for Lauren, his goal has been achieved.

Before the siege of the supreme king, and then the siege of Byrne's army, all the troops of silver helmet mountain fortress will have to be put on the city defense.

According to Boris's description, under the system of Yunling Kingdom, the army also shoulders the task of monitoring nobles and civilians; In other words, once their troops have to go into battle, the rear is often left unattended.

In this way, there is an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity.

Of course, Loren is not naive enough to think that he can drive straight in and seize the silver helmet mountain - this is a place favored by fascists, and there is definitely an unknown danger waiting for him in front.

But that's another thing.

He didn't expect an "insider" to help him much. It's enough to pass through the first line of defense. Thank God... Maybe even he was just a pawn used by fascists to lure himself into the hook.

Although there is no evidence, it is not impossible.

The characteristic of fascism is that it is best to make use of those "self righteous" people - ambitious people who are inflated, conceited and think that everything is in control.

Or use power, or simply the most direct force to tear the other party's inflated confidence to pieces, kneeling at his feet and driving him.

"... I probably already know. In short, it's bluff to scare the defenders in the city. In fact, we won't attack the city at all, right?"

Stunned for a moment, Sarika Jonah touched her head and asked while guessing.

"It should be said that... Before the formal siege, we can take the silver helmet mountain." Loren shrugged. "But although it's a show, we still have to fight. They can't see through it - siege, trenches and cavalry sweeping can't be less. Anyway, the greater the movement, the better."

"Eckert will be in charge of the infantry, the projection position will be handed over to ain, and the cavalry will let lanmalos be in charge... Miss Sarika Jonah, I will give you full control. When to fight and when to talk, you have your say."

"This is for sure. You have to do a full set of drama." the girl nodded, but suddenly came out: "but I don't understand one thing."

"Hmm?" Lauren raised his eyebrows. "Where am I? Haven't I made it clear?"

"No, it has nothing to do with that." Sarika shook her head. "I just wanted to ask, why did you let Eckert say we had 100000 troops?"

"That's what you want to ask?!" the black haired wizard was shocked and stunned.

"Why, shouldn't you ask?" the girl's expression was more incomprehensible than him: "there were not 100000 panting people in the whole military camp. Where did you come from?"

"No, you misunderstood. It's just a strategy." reluctantly, Loren patiently explained, "the enemy doesn't know how many troops we have now, so let them mistakenly think that we have enough strength to attack the city, which will help deepen their fear of us."

"You're scaring them?" Sarika blinked.

"Er... No, not completely. It's more like confusing them - when all our troops are in place, they will start to be confused and mistakenly think that we have reinforcements to interfere with their decision-making. This is also a strategy."

"Are you scaring them?" the girl refused.

"I know what you think. Yes, it seems to be an exaggeration, but in fact it is not... You think, in order to maintain the normal supply of this 25000 person army, the operation number of the whole logistics supply line has already exceeded this figure, which is also an affirmation of their work."

"Are you scaring them?"

"... yes, I'm bluffing them," Lauren said expressionless.

Sarika smiled proudly, and her freckled dimples turned red, revealing two small tiger teeth.

Weakly shrugged, turned his eyes, and Lauren took a long breath.

After giggling for a while, Sarika patted him on the shoulder and tilted her mouth carelessly: "come on, don't be unhappy. She's still a great Duke!

It's not the first time for me to do this. I'm familiar with it very well - I know much better than you how and when to fight. "

"As long as you stick to it for a day or two, Eckert and angert, and... And ain, they will help you do enough of the play." Loren said calmly:

"Two days, three days at most... I will show you the result - victory. We will seize the silver helmets mountain, complete the feats that all Bain and Boyi people have failed to accomplish since the millennium, and our reputation will surpass Laslo Varna."

"Defeat... If you're lucky, it won't be too ugly. I still have a way to end the war through diplomatic mediation." after that, Loren couldn't help saying more:

"If you're lucky..."

"That's your business. I'm not interested in silver helmets mountain, and I'm not interested in achievements." Sally card said coldly:

"All I want is that man. No matter what you intend to do with him, his life is mine - so you have to live and bring him back to me, that's all."

"I promise you, just rest assured." Lauren nodded solemnly:

"As long as he is still in this fortress, he can't escape!"
