Chapter 1065: Tugging each other

The first thousand and sixty-five chapters are talking about each other
Gerardo couldn't help but felt nervous when he heard it, and hurriedly asked: "Turning? What turning?"
Napotulis glanced at him with a faint smile, then shrugged, and said, "I'm not Hardu. Even Angel doesn't even know about this kind of military event. How can I know?
It's just that morale in Gad City is now high. Hardu is well prepared, and you have seen the defense system outside of Khaligard.
If you want to attack, you have to pay a considerable price.
As for the siege, Hadu had already prepared for it, hoarding a large amount of food and supplies in the city. He can stand it even if you surround it for a year.
However, I am afraid that at that time, your peacekeeping forces will be unable to stand up. "
Gerardo was speechless for a moment.
He has been with Lord Luo Jue for a long time and has learned a lot. It is clear that the daily consumption of food and materials for this 500,000 army is an astronomical figure.
Not only that, but on the other hand, although the logistics department now uses a large number of four-wheeled pure steel carriages manufactured by the Flying Eagle Company, which has greatly improved its transportation capacity, the front line is too long and the roads are difficult to navigate. Every kilogram of materials transported from the rear to the front line basically consumes the same amount of materials.
Adding these two together has reached a terrible number that is prohibitive.
Napoleulis smiled, then took a thick envelope from his arms and threw it on the table.
Immediately there was a bang.
The kraft paper envelope slid a distance on the smooth table top and stopped in the middle of the table.
Gerador held the envelope with his fingers, pulled it in front of him, then raised his head, looked at Napoleulis, and said in a deep voice, "What is this?"
"Detailed intelligence of the defenders in Khaligard, as well as a part of the defense plan outside." Napolitulis said, "During the last time in Desai, your attack went too smoothly. They have begun to suspect that someone has leaked secrets. , Is stepping up the investigation."
Gerardo gave a faint hum, not too concerned about it. These southerners only provided information to save their lives.
Since you have committed a rape, you must have the consciousness to pay the corresponding price. There is no good thing about sugarcane in this world. Let them take advantage of these puppies.
Napoleulis looked at his indifferent expression and couldn't help feeling annoyed, but in the end he could only turn into a deep sigh.
In fairness, if he saw someone betraying himself, he would not be ashamed of the other person.
However, the situation is better than people. The other party killed him at the door of his own house. Is it because he had to let his family bury him for a Hardu?
There may be people with such mental disabilities, but they are definitely not them~!
Napotulis thought of this, he paused for a moment, and then said: "Also, Hardu has trained more than 100,000 militiamen in the past few months.
Take this with your boss and he will use it.
Oh, by the way, the mysterious man in black around Hardu has disappeared for a long time, and this sneaky guy seems to be very important. "
Gerardo carried the envelope into his arms.
Napotulis stretched out, stood up and picked up the hat next to him to leave, and said: "My boss also wants to end this war as soon as possible. If we want to solve Hadu as soon as possible, we can help.
Of course, the conditions remain the same. "
After speaking, after learning the etiquette popular with the army, he reached out and touched his hat lightly, then turned and left.
"Are the conditions the same?". That night, Gerardo reported to Lorraine the latest progress of the negotiations.
Lorraine sighed after listening to the other party's conditions, and said, "This is not easy. Let's fight each other with each other."
Gerardo asked puzzledly: "My lord, what do you say?"
Lorraine smiled slightly and said: "Tell you a story. A businessman died in a foreign country, and the coffin stopped in a family. Then the businessman's son came to retrieve the coffin. Someone was behind the head of the household and said that the coffin was this. People must buy, they should ask him more for money. The head of the household will offer a high price of 10,000 gold coins
The son was hesitating, and someone told the son that the head of the coffin can only be bought for you, and cannot be sold to others. When the son thinks about it, he only pays ten gold coins. "
Gerardo laughed, "This is a bit interesting, then?"
Lorraine spread his hands and said, "No more. This offer makes sense on both sides. Just like we are now. Sellers and buyers are the only fixed ones, and the price is not easy to negotiate."
Gerardo felt deeply, and nodded.
Lorraine said distressedly: "Now there is a dilemma. After all, the solution to Hadu is to rely on their inner ghosts. But now the situation is very good, agree to their terms, let alone the Almohad people are not willing, we are all here. I can't explain it."
Gerardo hesitated, looked at Lorraine, and said, "My lord, what do you mean?"
Lorraine shrugged and said nonchalantly: "I think their conditions are nothing wrong, anyway, Almohad is not ours. But the so-called negotiation, there must be a bargain.
To break the current stalemate, what is needed is a turning point in the opponent's mouth.
2000, right, what did the negotiator of the other side look like when talking about it? "
"Very calm," Gerardo thought for a while, and said, "I don't see that he is bluffing, maybe his subordinates are blunt."
Then Gerardo learned how he was in the negotiation, and learned the expression and tone of Napolitulis vividly.
Lorraine pondered for a moment, and finally smiled and shook his head, and said: "This fellow Hadu is also great. If we can't see his body with our own eyes, we dare not relax our guard.
Regardless, negotiations are just icing on the cake, and only victory on the battlefield is real. "
With that, he turned his head and looked out of the account.
At this time, the lights outside the big tent were bright.
The dark ground was covered with camps of various colors, and countless flags fluttered in the night breeze.
Wherever the eyesight went, the mountains and plains were filled with lights from the camp, and the little firelight extended to the sky, shining the sky red.
Against the background of the lights, the sky full of stars is also indistinct and eclipsed.
At the beginning of November, the peacekeeping forces from the three sides of Haru'a had become an iron wall and gradually gathered under Khaligard. Encircled the city firmly.
Almohad's new army was also ordered by Queen Isabella to drive all the main forces to the city, and even actively asked the Julian Grand Duke to fight, to be the main force in the siege, with very high enthusiasm.
Without seeing the corpses of Amor and Hardu, Queen Isabella and the leaders of the government would not sleep well at night.
For Almohad's second largest city, Khaligard, Queen Isabella is inevitable. Queen Isabella can't afford to lose this central southern city with a population of 500,000.
If the peacekeepers blasted Khaligard’s artillery into rubble, the loss would be too great for the Almohad.
In this world, if everyone is the boss, they must play their own hooligans at home and hooligans of others abroad. They are like defending representatives everywhere to maintain the peace of others, relying on hard power.
And this hard power comes from population and economy, and cities like Khaligard just concentrate both.
Although the peacekeeping forces went all the way to the south, they always showed great restraint in the war, and they can be called a civilized, mighty, and benevolent force.
Everywhere they went, they helped the local people lighten their burdens, took the initiative to hit the ground and carry water to repair their houses, and distributed sweets, chokes, lollipops and so on to the children.
Only when you encounter resistance, or use firepower to conquer the city. I never show my tyranny in war...well, I almost never show my tyrannical side in war, or use excessive firepower to destroy the entire city.
But this is Khaligard. There is a guy named Hadu in the city. He is the of war of Almohad. He is highly respected among southerners and has been operating here for decades.
His name is on the mainland, and it can stop children from crying at night. For decades before, he has been a huge shadow over the Ruman Empire, the largest power in the mainland.
When confronted with him, Queen Isabella was really at a loss.
After all, the other party is too powerful. In the unlikely event that both sides get red, the Ruman will definitely turn this place into a piece of scorched earth at all costs.
The 300,000 regular troops sent by the Ruman Empire did not really come to selflessly help the fellow feudal imperialist emperors.
The Ruman are here for revenge~!
Regardless of the hype, prosperity and civilization, stability and peace, justice and harmony, etc., no matter how much we talk about in external propaganda, we just want to publicly call that the Ruman are the incarnation of justice, the messenger of world peace, and the hope of mankind.
But everyone, including the Ruman Empire, is well aware that the nature of this bunch of puppies is actually a small belly, and they will be rewarded, and they will only take advantage and not suffer.
For Hadu, the Ruman Empire’s number one enemy, the Ruman people have already hated itchy tooth roots, and they can eat him raw without a bit of sweet sauce.
In order to kill Hadu, the Ruman would never mind blowing the entire Khaligard city into ruins. Anyway, it was the Almohad city. They don't feel bad about ruining them.
The only trouble is that it takes a little effort to find gold in the ruins, but compared to watching Hardu die in their hands, this little trouble is basically negligible.
This is why the Ruman Empire Senate heard that it was going to fight Hadu, and immediately there were thirty or so old undead veterans who got a cerebral hemorrhage with excitement.
Then they said, ‘fighting with the emperor, the joy is endless. Fighting with bureaucracy, the joy is endless, fighting with the people, the joy is endless, which is affectionately referred to by the broad masses of people as the nature of "brainless without lower limit", and the resolution to dispatch troops was passed unanimously.
Immediately, the 300,000 army and laborers went on an expedition, without spending a penny on others, to volunteer to help Almohad suppress the rebellion.
The Ruman Empire supports all from top to bottom in order to avenge the country~!
Let everyone know that Ruman people are uncles no matter what, and they are uncles who can never offend.
What Queen Isabella was striving for was only to use a straw rope with thin hair as much as possible to hold this beast, and prevent the Ruman who enjoys the pleasure of revenge from playing too much.
But if Lorraine knew her thoughts, she would definitely sneer, Queen Isabella's thoughts were too wishful.
He didn't even have the determination to sacrifice Haligard, and he expected the Ruman to help to the end?
Instead of worrying about the peacekeepers smashing Khaligard, it is better to worry about her own new army.
In this regard, the reputation of the new army is really not very good, killing, arson, and misbehaving is the norm.
At this time, more than 300,000 troops, including the new army, surrounded Khaligard from the Fourth Regiment, waiting for the final attack.
In the process of waiting for the people, the Grand Duke Julian did not sit idle, so he built a wall around Khaligard and put on a posture of preparing for a long-term siege.
After all the preparations were completed, on November 5th, in the cold wind of early winter, the first attack officially began.
The artillery position has long been established, where all the artillery of the peacekeeping troops and the new army are concentrated, and the firepower of more than 150 artillery is unprecedented.
Lined up in front of the camp to attack Almohad's new army.
The peacekeeping force is ready to hold the line behind.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Grand Duke Julian appeared punctually under the Chinese army's big bow.
At this moment, the 300,000 army is lined up around the Duke, with banners like forests and powerful army. Only a black figure could be seen in the military formation in the distance.
Archduke Julian looked around his army indifferently, then stared at the city of Khaligarde in the distance, smiling and saying to himself: "Old Haddou, as I swore, I am here. Don't let me down."
However, a few years later, Grand Duke Julian did not write this way in his own handwritten Chronicles. He wrote the famous saying "I heard, I arrived, I conquered" that made countless people read it with enthusiasm.
Lorraine had to sigh helplessly about this, which he planned to keep for use.
"Let's start." Grand Duke Julian said calmly after looking up at the sky. The sky was slightly gloomy and the cold wind was slightly cold.
The artillery roared in unison, and the people near the Chinese army could even feel the tremors from the ground. More than a hundred shells formed a black shadow visible to the naked eye, tracing an arc and falling towards the wall of Harrygard.
A puff of smoke immediately rose up near the towering walls of Khaligard, and it took a while before the dull explosion sounded back to the peacekeepers.
The effect of the first round of artillery fire was minimal. Most of the artillery shells failed to hit the city wall and landed inside and outside the city wall.
However, after the first round of shelling, there were no figures visible on the walls of Khaligard. After fighting for so long, the Southern Army learned to be smart.
After several rounds of shelling, the walls of Khaligard remained high. Hardu had already reinforced all the city walls with soil excavated by trenching in advance.
The artillery shifted the target and aimed at the trench defense system. After a round of coverage, the new army shouted and rushed toward the trench with an order.
Julian didn't even look at the soldiers of the new army siege below the city, as if indifferent to their actions, looked at the inside of Khaligard and asked, "Where is Hardu?"
A staff officer next to him pointed to the center of Khaligard and said: "In the center of the inner city. Hardu usually stays in his mansion."
"Can the artillery hit it?"
The artillery commander of the 1000 Security Army on his side immediately replied: "New-style artillery is fine, old-fashioned artillery is not, it is beyond the range."
Grand Duke Julian nodded, and said, "Turn the Hadu's nest into ruins. Say hello to him. The villain has come."
The locations of many important targets in the city of Khaligard have been determined long ago. After the order was issued, a few black smoke was quickly released from the city of Khaligard, and thick smoke rose into the air.
Under the black smoke, one could see flashes of fire, which obviously ignited nearby buildings.
The soldiers of the new army who directly attacked were already close to the trench. In addition to their equipment, each of the soldiers of the new army carried a straw pocket filled with earth and rocks.
They ran to the trench, dropped their bags of land, turned and ran back.
The actions of the new army obviously exceeded the expectations of the Southern Army, and their actions were not blocked by the Southern Army.
After the Southern Army reacted, a intensive rain of arrows flew from the trenches and shot towards the new army who was transporting soil and filling the trench. It can be seen that there are not a few soldiers hidden in the trenches.
The artillery on standby then turned its muzzle and blasted where the bow and arrow were shot. But those artillery shells are often smashed on the ground, and they can't form effective damage.
Lorraine watched and sighed slightly. This was a protracted battle without any technical content.
The peacekeeping forces learned the lessons of Desai City, and instead of aggressively attacking the complex defense system, they used the simplest and most brutal methods to fill them.
In the worst case, he had to fill in a road wide enough to reach the city of Khaligard.
Obviously, this amount of work cannot be completed in a short while.
However, Hardu took the advantages of the trench system to the extreme, thinking that there are still ways to deal with it.
This will be a tug-of-war around earthworks, and the time will be measured in months.
Aiding Island is a large island in the middle of the ocean, with a population of tens of thousands. It was originally an island with a very important strategic location, and countless business travelers stopped there.
Since the start of the war, due to the moderate distance of Aiting Island, it has become an important transit point and safe haven for peacekeeping forces by sea.
Some of the military materials purchased from other countries will first be transported by the seller to Eding Island, where they will be unloaded and then transported to Almohad by the transport ships of the peacekeeping forces.
The transport fleet departing from Ruman will also stay here for a short period of time for repairs.
The importance of Aiting Island is self-evident.
The Ruman Empire sent a naval fleet to guard here, and there are tens of thousands of troops stationed on the island.
The port of Aiting Island has just been expanded ~EbookFREE.me~ The scale is several times larger than before, but that's it, the port is still full of ships of all sizes.
At noon that day, an old man in a gray gown walked tremblingly on the road leading to the port.
With a hood on his head, he covered his entire face tightly. However, in the early winter, his outfits like this are not noticeable.
Accompanied by him is a strong young man with dark and rough skin, the usual complexion of people who work by the sea all year round.
In spite of the cold weather, the young man was still wearing a single coat, showing strong muscles. By looking at his dress, he knew that he was a porter on the dock.
After turning around an intersection, two people stood on the hillside overlooking the port at their feet. The old man reached out his hand and said softly, "This is it."
