Chapter 227 Siege
In order to encourage the nobles in the country to contribute, De Klein had an agreement, but anyone who made military exploits during the war, whether they were civilians or nobles, could obtain fiefdoms from it.

Military exploits are divided into third-class military exploits, second-class military exploits, first-class military exploits and special military exploits.

Five third-class military exploits can be exchanged for one second-class military exploit, and five second-class military exploits can be exchanged for one first-class military exploit.and so on.

And if there is a special military exploit, you can get a hereditary fief and at least the title of Marquis!

It sounds very tempting, but if you know the conditions for obtaining this military exploit, you will know how difficult it is to obtain the fief.

Not to mention second- and third-class military exploits, as long as you hide in the army and hang around for ten or eight years, you can get some.

But starting from the first-class military exploits, it is not easy to obtain.

The definition of first-class military exploits is: major achievements in battles involving more than [-] people.And although it can be exchanged, it is not unlimited, and each person can exchange first-class military exploits at most once.

Wan Guolin has been at peace for so long, not to mention the scale of [-] people, even the battles of [-] people are rare, so there are very few nobles with fiefdoms.

Wu Zhi wanted to obtain a fief to complete the task, so he naturally understood it very clearly.But if you want to use this method to obtain the fief, I am afraid that you will have to accumulate military exploits until the year of the monkey!

But, who said that there is only one way? The rules are dead and set by people. Be bolder, let alone fiefdoms.
Wu Zhi lowered his head slightly to prevent others from seeing the splendor in his eyes.

At this time, the king had already ordered to go down, and the general named Jerio was already rushing down to gather soldiers, and the nobles also began to think about how many private troops should be sent to earn military exploits.

"Count Vijay stays," the king said.

The others in the hall retired, leaving only the king and Wu Zhi.

The king looked at Wu Zhi with a kind smile on his face: "Count Vijay, you told me before that you wanted a fief? Now is an opportunity. As long as you perform outstandingly and accumulate military exploits, you will definitely have a chance to get a fief." Yes. Although the conditions are a bit harsh, they are the rules set by the ancestors after all, and I don't want to violate them without permission."

The king seemed to be confiding in his heart and said: "I have always been grateful for the earl's protection of Princess Jolene all the way. The earl also knows about the situation of my royal family of Averyles. Said, like the blessing of the ancestors. So the earl's wish, this king is also very willing to fulfill."

"The earl is a smart man, and he should be able to see that for some reason, this Wan Guolin has begun to be chaotic. The so-called heroes in troubled times, with the strength of your lordship, it should be easy to make military exploits. Then I will Let me help you a little bit, so that you can fulfill your wish earlier."

Wu Zhi's eyes turned red when he heard these words from the bottom of his heart: "Your Majesty, thank you for your kindness. Wei Jie will definitely live up to His Majesty's trust!"

"Well, well, this time you go with the army, try your best to perform."

Wu Zhi resigned with gratitude and left the palace, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The king watched Wu Zhi leave, and clapped his hands lightly, Huai came out from the shadow beside him lightly.

"How are things going?" asked the king.

Huai said: "Your Majesty, I have already contacted the killer organization and asked them to send two groups of killers respectively, which is bound to force out Earl Vijay's dark power; at the same time, he has received a lot of money from the killer's 'splitting head' promise, when Vijay is sure. After Wu Shenzhou's protective power disappears, kill him with one blow!"

"Splitting head? The killer who claims to take people's heads ten miles away?"

"Yes, this split head is a tenth-level shooter. It uses a stuffed sniper-type magic gun, which is extremely powerful and has a wide range. It can shoot and kill targets from 5000 meters away. This split head is extremely mysterious. Never revealing himself, to contact him you have to contact his agent."

Huai squinted his eyes, and said slowly: "This cracked head was originally a famous killer in the inland area. This time, he came to our Wan Guolin for some reason, but he was trapped here. If it wasn't for the fact that I have been in contact with the killer organization all along , I don’t know the news. When I met with his agent, I found that the current situation of the split head is very embarrassing, and it seems that he is very happy to earn this extra money.”

"To take someone's head ten miles away, this split-skull is a dangerous person. Is there any way to make him work for me?" asked the king.

Huai shook his head: "The chances are not great. This split-skull murderer is only for money, and he is very cautious and never shows up. Even his agent doesn't know his true identity. It may not be easy to recruit him."

"En. If that's the case, forget it. You arrange this matter, and you must be sure that nothing will go wrong. In addition, the fighters under Vijay Wu must try their best to keep them safe. After his death, these fighters will be Joelle's subordinates. Naturally That is my subordinate."

"Yes."

"Also, after Vijay Wu left, let Prius get closer to Joelle for a while. The person she admired all along died, and she must be in a bad mood. Isn't the kid very good at this kind of thing?"

"Yes."

In the hall, a conspiracy against Earl Vijay was brewing.At the same time, sitting in the carriage, Wu Zhi, who had already arrived at the gate of Wangcheng, raised the curtain of the carriage, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and let out a long breath.

His eyes were full of coldness.

That night, a representative sent by the nobles asked Wu Zhi how many people he planned to send out in this crusade, and gently reminded him that the nobles in the city had already broken their heads for these quotas, and now only There are less than one hundred places, if it is not because of His Majesty's hand-picked appointment, this good thing of gaining military exploits will not be his turn at all.

Wu Zhi smiled slightly: "Then please go back and tell the other adults that I only bring 50 people this time."

The man immediately cheered up, praised Wu Zhi repeatedly for understanding current affairs, then declined Wu Zhi's request to stay, hurriedly went back to report, and told Wu Zhi that the army will gather in the city tomorrow morning, so don't be late.

Seeing the man go back happily, Wu Zhi's eyes gradually turned cold.

Instructing Tai Nuo to order fifty soldiers to prepare, Wu Zhi turned his head and went back to his study.

Bron, Wu Zhi was going to take him by his side, while the remaining [-] soldiers and Tai Nuo stayed in the villa.

To go out to fight, of course Joelle and Esbell had to be with her.But given his distrust of King Declein, he still needs to make some arrangements.

For example, Wei En and Tai Long, Wu Zhi saw them recalled, lurking in the villa, the first priority is naturally to protect Joelle, followed by Esbell and other tribal fighters.If the situation is urgent, then just take Jolaier and escape.

However, that king has been pretending to be hypocritical in front of Wu Zhi. Since he likes to pretend so much, as long as Wu Zhi survives, he will definitely not reveal his true face.

The king's conspiracy has been known to him.A conspiracy that is already known is not a conspiracy.

After ordering everything, Wu Zhi closed the door, opened the window, waited for a while, a breeze blew, and Tai Long had already appeared in the room.

"grown ups."

Wu Zhi nodded, "How about the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"The time is short, and since it is outside De Klein, there are only some not-so-detailed information."

Tai Long said: "Assassin Organization, or the Assassin's Guild, this organization is neither big nor small. On a larger scale, this Assassin Organization is a branch of the Mainland Assassin's Guild, but on a smaller scale, it is just Just a bunch of rats hiding in the dark."

"Assassin's Guild?"

Wu Zhi raised his eyebrows, "What does it have to do with the Mercenary Guild?"

The mercenary union is still a very large force in the interior. It is different from churches and holy churches, but a very loose organization, similar to headhunting companies and mutual aid websites on Earth.Introduce powerful and experienced adventurers to wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who need manpower and help.Take money as reward, each takes what he needs.

Of course, mercenaries are generally active in relatively remote and dangerous places or places where wars frequently occur. Among the three major inland powers, there are not many mercenaries, so Wu Zhi has never dealt with mercenaries. Pass.

After hearing Tai Long talk about the Assassin's Guild, he couldn't help but think of the name of this mercenary union.

"My lord is really keen. This mercenary guild is actually a hodgepodge. Magicians, swordsmen, pharmacists, alchemists, gunners, craftsmen, there are mercenaries in all walks of life, and the assassin's guild is mercenaries. A branch of the guild, as long as it accepts some shady tasks, and the mercenary guild deliberately hides it, so the civilians don’t know the existence of this guild.” Tai Long is an assassin himself, so he is naturally interested in these things, even if he doesn’t go to After passing the inland, I have already inquired about these things clearly.

"That is to say, Kopuster invited assassins from the Assassin's Guild to deal with me?"

"Yes. I went to the Assassin's Guild to have a look some time ago. The management of this Assassin's Guild is both loose and strict, and it has a set of strict management methods. For new members, foreign members, there are detailed grade divisions, what kind of What level of mission does the assassin of the level accept?"

There was an interested look in Tai Long's eyes: "Anyone can join as long as they pass the test. This is loose! But to meet the high-level members of the guild, not only need a certain level and merit, but also strict verification. No wonder this assassin Guilds can span the entire continent."

"You joined the Assassin's Guild? What level is it now?" Wu Zhi was also very interested in these things and asked.

"I only showed a few hands casually. Now in the certification of the Assassin's Guild, I am a five-star bronze medal assassin. It represents an assassin who has the ability to accept the assassination of level [-] professionals. The Assassin's Guild divides assassins into gold, silver, bronze, and bronze medals." Grades one to five, grades six to ten for silver medals, and grades eleven to fifteen for gold medals are all divided by stars."

Saying so, Tai Long took out a token made of copper and iron, with a pattern of a dagger printed on it, and five stars arranged in a fan shape on the reverse.

Wu Zhi asked: "The highest is the five-star gold medal? An assassin who can assassinate a strong person at the fifteenth level? Above that, is there no stronger assassin?"

Tai Long glanced at Wu Zhi: "The sixteenth level is the strong man of the respected level. It is basically impossible to kill a strong man of this level. Those who have the ability to kill the strong man of the respected level can only kill the strong man of the respected level. With that kind of strength, do you still need to be an assassin?"

Wu Zhi also thought about the same reason, smiled and asked: "Then what about the news about the 'splitting skull' I asked you to inquire about?"

Tai Long said: "Splitting Skull is a five-star silver-medal killer recognized by the headquarters of the Assassin's Guild. The most famous record is that he successfully assassinated level [-] powerhouses three times alone. Among them are two swordsmen and a magician. This Skull Splitting is very mysterious. Ordinary killers are even more mysterious. Every time he receives a mission, he chooses it himself first, and then picks it up through an agent. No one has ever known his true face. But what is certain is that he is a gunner, specializing in filling A type of sniper rifle, best at shooting targets thousands of meters away. Even if you miss, you can’t find him.”

Wu Zhi nodded thoughtfully.

"A sniper rifle? Gunners are rare. I didn't expect there to be snipers. But even if it's a sniper rifle in the magical world, some things should still be the same as on Earth, right?"

Thinking of this, Wu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly.Then he said, "Okay, now it's up to you to protect Joelle, her safety comes first, please."

Tai Long performed an elegant etiquette: "Please rest assured, my lord. I guarantee that Miss Joleil will be safe and sound when your lord returns."

the next day.Wu Zhi brought fifty tribal fighters to Wangcheng.But it was discovered that the private army of the nobles had gathered there.

The private troops supported by these nobles add up to exactly two thousand, but the costumes and weapons are different in height, short, fat and thin, and they look messy and chaotic.

In terms of combat effectiveness, compared individually, these private armies are well-armed by nobles and lords, so they are naturally stronger than those bitter big-headed soldiers.But when it comes to military discipline and military style, the private troops of these nobles are far inferior to regular troops.

General Jerio led a hundred of his own soldiers, looked at the mob with an unkind expression, then waved his hand, and the team started towards the border fortress of De Klein.

In his opinion, the army of these aristocrats did more than fail, at most they could only fight with the wind. If the situation was unfavorable, one would run faster than the other.For a military general like Jerio, it is very contemptible.

However, after all, it is also the strength of 2000 people.If used properly, it is also a good combat power.What's more, the goal this time - Jiajie Kingdom is only a small country with 20 people, and the entire country's current army strength is probably less than 1. If there is a main city, there will be 2000 people left. Counting those who resist in front of them, if there are 5000 people, it will be the sky.

This battle can be won even with eyes closed!These nobles are just here to share their battle achievements!

General Jerio thought of this and looked back.

In the long line at the back, colorful soldiers are sandwiched between colorful carriages—the ones who come to earn military exploits are naturally not those rich and powerful themselves, but the children of their families, all young people, and they are all idlers. Unable to bear the temper of suffering, it is natural to sit in his own carriage.Even in some carriages, obscene voices and women's panting and moaning could be heard from time to time.
Jerio snorted coldly. If this was his soldier, he would have pulled it out and beheaded him on the spot to correct the morale of the army.It's a pity that these nobles have large and small backgrounds behind them, and His Majesty the King acquiesced in making military exploits this time, so they can only turn a blind eye.

General Jerio waved the whip in his hand fiercely, and ran in front of the horse, and came out of nowhere.

Five days later, a team of more than [-] people arrived at the border fortress of De Klein, Zhenjie Fortress.

There are [-] soldiers stationed here, and the supreme commander is General Jerio.

As soon as the general returned to the fortress, the private army of the two thousand nobles had no time to catch their breath, so they were taken to the military field. As soon as they stood still, the adjutant who had heard the news earlier brought eight regiments and eight thousand soldiers to the military field. stand by!

"Soldiers are so fast! Our country is attacking Jiajie Kingdom. The leader of Jiajie Kingdom must have known about it, but half of Jiajie Kingdom's troops are deeply trapped in Yizhao Kingdom. Even if we want to mobilize troops temporarily, as long as we are fast enough, they will not have time to support them! "

General Jerio stood on the stage, roaring loudly.

"Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for one hour, today is the time for you to make contributions! Follow me to attack the city and defeat the enemy, and fight on the battlefield."

On the stage, General Jerio was saliva flying all over the place, earnestly mobilizing before the battle, while Wu Zhi yawned from below.

General Jerry didn't type out the manuscript, and he talked bluntly for more than half an hour, his ears were full of his roaring roar.However, the soldiers below still eat this set, one or two are full of enthusiasm, and their fighting spirit is as strong as chicken blood.

"Okay, now, the heads of the regiments will follow me!"

The adjutants in the fortress had probably been notified of the news that the soldiers were going to dispatch the Jiajie Kingdom, so these soldiers were fully prepared, and they set off directly after they were mobilized before the battle.The two thousand private soldiers of the nobles did not have time to rest, and directly followed Daliu towards Jiajie Kingdom.

The scouts swept all the way, and came to the gate of Jiajie Kingdom's frontier fortress domineeringly, and stopped at a distance of 5000 meters.

In front of it was a fortress with a wall of a hundred meters across. The soldiers on it had received the news long ago and guarded it densely.The gate of the city was closed tightly, and looking into the past in the Fangyuan book, there was not half a tree that was thicker than the waist.

When Wu Zhi was in college, he was very interested in the offense and defense of this cold weapon for a while.Also deliberately checked a lot of information.

There are generally only three ways to break through such a strong fortress.

First, to set up a ladder, the soldiers had to rush to the city wall against the enemy's bows and arrows, falling rocks, boiling oil, boiling water and a series of things, and then expand the occupation area and forcibly break through the city.

But this approach is very stupid.Unless there are more than several times the strength of the defenders, it is extremely difficult to break through.Even if you want to break through, you will waste a lot of soldiers' lives.

The second is to use a charging cart, that is, a small cart tied with sharpened large logs, to attack the city gate. As long as the city gate is smashed, the soldiers will rush in, and street fighting will follow.Generally speaking, the attacking side has stronger troops than the defending side, so generally at this point, it is almost considered a failure to defend the city.

It's just that in this method, the soldiers in the city only need to hang heavy objects with ropes and throw them down, so those soldiers who push the carts are simply living targets.

The third is to dig tunnels.Start digging tunnels from a distance and go all the way to the city.Then the attacking party can directly attack inside and outside, and they can easily break through the city.

But this method is also very easy to deal with. You only need to dig a horizontal tunnel under the city wall. Then if someone outside wants to dig a tunnel to enter the city, they can be easily found.

The siege in the era of cold weapons is generally these three methods. Of course, there are many other methods of siege.I won't go into details one by one, but this General Jerio didn't bring any siege equipment, not to mention, he hurriedly brought soldiers to attack the city. How can he attack the city?
In other words, the war between the magical world will be different from that on Earth?
