Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

Defeating the enemy in the field was a breeze for Lu Bu.

Although Leonard's name of "Scarlet Lord" has spread throughout the east, there are always many arrogant people, and there are always many overly proud people.

They always felt that the people who had failed before were too bad. It was also an army of nobles, so how strong could Little Thorn Castle be?As long as you don't mess around, call for ten days and a half months first, and then start negotiations.

Isn't that how wars are usually done?

Everyone is the same person, with similar combat effectiveness, and soldiers have similar ideas.

Count Lucas of Sunlun City thought so.

Earl Lucas was a little surprised by the failure of little Lucas, but he felt it was reasonable.

My son has too many thoughts and always wants to do many things.It's a good thing that he has this kind of heart. When I was young, I was just like him. I always wanted to do great things, develop my territory, and gain a higher status... But how could it be so easy?Earl Lucas also tried hard, struggled, and then gave up. It's good to be a well-behaved ordinary nobleman.

Because he can't do it, he thinks his children can't do it either.

"What you think is too unrealistic, you will understand when you grow up." Earl Lucas said to his son like this.

The failure of the vanguard, Earl Lucas thought it was a good lesson, he redeemed his son, ready to educate him.How can nobles run to the front and lead the army by example? How good it is to hide behind and command.

In the end, I didn't expect my son to be full of praise for Little Thorn Castle.

He said that the army of Little Thorn Castle is very powerful, as powerful as the army of the Brown family. He said that the commander of Little Thorn Castle is very good at commanding. We will not be opponents. If we continue to fight, we will lose too much.

Earl Lucas was almost laughed at by his son.

He locked up his son and directly rejected his request to pay to redeem the soldiers.

Most of those soldiers are ordinary people, and they are not knights, so they are not worth paying for ransom.

Soon after, the main army of Sunlun Fort was defeated outside Sunlun City.

The night before, they fought until dawn and the second wave of troops in Little Thorn Castle began to pursue and siege. The second wave of troops was led by Leonard. They had a good rest at night and got up at dawn the next day to start Fighting, taking over from Lu Bu's army who had been fighting all night.

The Sunlun City army has been fighting all night and is very tired.

They were not the opponents of Little Thorn Castle, and this was even more unbearable.

Leonard found Lu Bu in the melee, "Fengxian, I have a question, is it convenient for you now?"

"Maybe I'm a little busy." Lu Bu said, flying a Rilun City knight off his horse.Then he swung Fang Tian's painted halberd in a semicircle and knocked all the surrounding knights off their horses, and the soldiers of Little Thorn Castle immediately rushed forward to control them. "It's all right now, is there any problem, Lord Lord?"

This scene is handsome in every sense of the word.

Leonard stepped forward with a smile, and said, "We divided the army into three parts. The number of people attacking at night is the same as the number of people currently encircling and suppressing, and the army guarding the rear is the least."

"Yes." Lu Bu said.

"Our army is not as large as the opponent's. If the army is separated from the night attack and the encirclement, wouldn't it be a disadvantage if the opponent is strong enough?" Leonard asked.

"You can't say that." Lu Bu said, "First of all, under normal circumstances, there are not too many people who attack at night. If the other side is strictly disciplined, the night attack will burn their tents and kill some ordinary soldiers. Like This kind of people who almost collapsed after being attacked by night is actually... at least in my time, there were not many people."

Leonard nodded: "Yes."

Lu Bu continued: "The night attack made the opponent panic and wanted to abandon the camp. At this time, the opponent's resistance is average. The best thing is to ambush the soldiers outside in advance, and then intercept them suddenly after they escape from the camp, so that they will be more powerful." Panicked, let alone fighting spirit. It is very important to know the fighting spirit, soldiers who want to escape may not be able to exert [-]% of their fighting power."

Leonard continued to nod: "That's it."

Lu Bu said: "In the current situation, the soldiers who hunted down and surrendered all night in night raids are actually less than a quarter of the opponent's total number. At dawn, the opponent will gather up the remnants and they will react. We don't have that many people. Not that strong, after all they have so many soldiers left after fleeing all night. They might counterattack if Sunlun City is not far away. ——and they did.”

Leonard suddenly realized: "At this time, we replaced the tired soldiers and replaced them with energetic soldiers. Their morale immediately lost when they got up, and they would think that we are really that good, and they think we are not that good. It's an illusion."

"Yes." Lu Bu said.

Leonard personally experienced this battle, and now he listened to Lu Bu's explanation, and felt that he had a much better understanding of war.

At this time, the battle was coming to an end, and piles of captives could be seen along the way being escorted back to the rear by soldiers from Little Thorn Fort.

The soldiers of Little Thorn Castle stopped and saluted respectfully after seeing Lu Bu and Leonard.

These people have heard other people say what war is supposed to be like, brutal, bloody, dead.One will succeed and all will die.

The core of the knight oath of the knights is loyalty, and the core is willingness to die for the lord.

But their lord successfully converted this into: follow me and you will enjoy glory, don't die for me, please live for me.

"I will try my best to defeat the enemy while protecting the lives of each of you." Before the war, Leonard said this to them.

All this moved them very much.

But looking back, Leonard said, "Well... the biggest solution I think of is to let Feng Xian command the battle."

cough.

...But it's really effective.

The enemy's main force basically remained, and the remaining army directly abandoned the prosperous Sunlun City and retreated to Sunlun Fort.

Leonard and the army entered Sunlun City. The free citizens of Sunlun City were afraid to go out at home. The political officer of Sunlun City led his men to greet Leonard bravely.

"Don't worry too much." Leonard said to the political officer of Sunlun City: "I didn't come for war, I came for peace."

The political officer of Sunlun City had a humble smile on his face, but he was slandered in his heart, as if he hadn't heard the sound of fighting since midnight?You tossed the army of Sunlun Fort all night, scaring Earl Lucas into abandoning Sunlun City, and then you said that you came for peace...

Of course he didn't dare to say on the surface: "Viscount Green, is there anything else I can do for you?"

Leonard thought for a while and said, "If you can persuade Earl Lucas to surrender, I can let you continue to be the administrative officer of Luncheng."

Persuade surrender?These words scared the political officer almost to death.

Isn't it a negotiation?How did it become persuasion?What does this nobleman want to do...

"I..." The political officer actually wanted to say that I could persuade him to surrender, and then hid in Sunlun Fort, but in the end he still couldn't worry about the people of Sunlun City. He was worried that he would deceive Leonard and escape from Sunlun City Finally, Leonard massacred free people to vent his anger. After all, the name of the scarlet lord is still very scary.

So the political officer finally let go of this tempting idea and said: "I'm afraid I can't do it, Lord Viscount. The defense of Sunlun City is very strong, and there is sufficient food in it. I think what Earl Lucas hopes is to negotiate." Negotiate peace." Looking at Leonard's expression, he said cautiously, "After all, the autumn harvest is almost here."

The autumn harvest is indeed a problem.

Generally, the fighting would stop during the autumn harvest, because the young and strong were about to return to the territory for the autumn harvest, and it would be very bad to delay the grain harvest. A large number of people in the territory might starve to death, and the nobles themselves would not feel very good.

That's why the government official said so.

Rilun Fort has enough food, so it can be guarded for a long time, and you have to go back to harvest, so you don't have time to force the opponent to surrender.

However, this is not a problem for Leonard at all.

Because the troops in Leonard's hands are almost all professional troops!Not farmers and serfs pulled out to fight in the military!

Even if the labor force on the territory is slightly insufficient, Cai Lun's farm tools can fully make up for this problem.

"Thank you for your reminder." Leonard said with a smile, "But it seems that your position as a political officer cannot be kept."

Earlier, Leonard said that if the political officer persuaded Earl Lucas to surrender, he would be made a political officer in the future.

The other party refused, and Leonard said such words.

The political officer only felt that Leonard was too confident, so he didn't say anything.

The political officer cared about his own life, but he couldn't flatter Leonard at this time, telling him that Earl Lucas would definitely be defeated.

One is that he is not ashamed to this extent, and the other is that he feels that Leonard will negotiate peace with Earl Lucas sooner or later, and Sunlun City will still belong to Earl Lucas at that time. He said bad things about the Earl at this time, Maybe it was stabbed left and right.

The political officer returned to the government affairs hall, restraining his subordinates to hide at home during this time.

The affairs officer of Sunlun City took the initiative to ask for a meeting with Leonard, and said a lot of compliments to Leonard, and at the same time said a lot of bad things about Earl Lucas. He felt that this was his chance to rise to the top.

"I like people like you very much." Leonard said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will put you in a suitable position after the war is over, definitely more suitable than the current position."

The affairs officer of Sunlun City was overjoyed: "Okay, Lord Viscount! I am willing to serve Lord Viscount wholeheartedly!"

"Well. I'm sure you will."

The affairs officer of Sunlun City showed a worried expression: "But Sunlun Castle..."

"Don't worry, Count Lucas is just a drowning rat now." Leonard said, looking at the sky outside.

……

Leonard had already formulated a strategy to attack Sunlun Fort.

He discussed it with Lu Bu, and Lu Bu felt that his method was also acceptable.However, Lu Bu corrected some details.

"My lord is getting more and more powerful," Lu Bu said.

"Hahaha, I hope so." Leonard said: "If I really become an outstanding commander in the future, the first person I want to thank is you, Fengxian, you really taught me personally."

Lu Bu was a little embarrassed: "There is no handhold."

Leonard smiled and held Lu Bu's hands: "Here, isn't this just holding hands?"

Maester Rutherford happened to come in: "My lord, the captives have returned from Evening Bell Town... Ah—ah? Ah! Did I disturb you?"

"What the hell is your name?" Leonard said, he let go of Lu Bu's hand naturally.

Maester Rutherford saw Leonard's normal expression: "...so what were you doing just now?"

"Hand in hand," Leonard said.

Maester Rutherford: "..."

Lu Bu: "...that sounds really weird."

……

After a rather interesting episode, the war continued.

The first is 'besieged on all sides'.

The dreadful song of "The Scarlet Lord" rang outside the castle day and night, making the defenders tremble.

When I heard this song before, I would only think that the lord was cruel, but the cruelty gave off a cool feeling.

When it's nothing to do with me, I just feel that the description of burying millions of corpses and killing gods with blood is flimsy.

But now such a person is his own enemy.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes people feel cold all over.

Of course, there was a siege in the middle of the bard singing songs, and the archers on both sides shot at each other.

Little Thorn Fort was fully equipped, so of course there were not many injuries, but the archers in Sunlun City were not so lucky, and there were many casualties even if there was a bunker.

——The difference between the weapons and equipment on both sides is a bit big.

All this made the defenders of Sunlun City even more frightened.

Earl Lucas simply ordered to stop shooting at each other and just hide in the room, since the other party couldn't climb up directly anyway.

Lu Bu led soldiers to provoke every day, but Rilunbao ignored them.

The morale of Rilun Fort is dropping day by day.

Leonard saw that the time was almost up, so he sent the captives who had surrendered before, and asked them to loudly persuade them to surrender outside the castle, saying how nice Viscount Green was and how kind he was to himself. He didn't kill any captives, and they all ate and drank well. offer.It is said that Viscount Green's goal is only Earl Lucas, and if Earl Lucas surrenders, he will stop the war immediately.

With the heat and cold, the soldiers of Rilun Fort were already shaken into a lump.

Some people even thought about tying Earl Lucas secretly.

Earl Lucas also realized this problem. He summoned the soldiers and told them that the first priority of soldiers is loyalty. If you waver now, even if you are disrespectful to me, Viscount Green will not treat you well. No noble will believe in betrayal Soldiers of their own masters.

I have to say that Earl Lucas's words are quite effective, he is indeed a more intelligent person.

The next day, the siege officially began.

At first, the soldiers of Sunlun Fort didn't react at all, because they stopped shooting at the soldiers of Little Thorn Fort long ago, and they didn't care if the soldiers of Little Thorn Fort approached the castle, they didn't realize that the other party would attack the city.

Having lost the opportunity, a pontoon bridge was erected on the moat, and the soldiers of Rilun Fort began to shoot arrows and throw stones in a hurry.

Here is a rather coincidental thing to say.

At this time, the moat of the castle is usually a dung river, because a lot of excrement from the castle will be dumped into the moat, which also objectively makes it difficult to attack the city. After all, it is a terrible thing for soldiers to pass through the dung river.

But after seeing the clean evening bell town and the clear moat of Little Thorn Castle, Count Lucas decided to clean up his own moat.

It happens to be cheaper for Leonard now.

……

The soldiers of Sunlun Castle guarded the city blankly, they only hoped that the autumn harvest would come soon, and that the soldiers of Little Thorn Castle would go back quickly, so that they would not have to suffer this kind of torture.

Most of their family members lived in Sunwheel City, and Earl Lucas directly gave up Sunwheel City to Little Thorn Castle. They were also very worried about their families.

"Then, what is that!" a Sunlun City soldier said in horror.

"That……"

"My God!"

From a distance, they saw three huge machines moving here. The bottom was a six-wheeled cart. The whole machine was like a hovering fortress. The total height of the machines had already surpassed the castle wall.Soldiers from Little Thorn Fort were already fighting on it, and they were moving here at a slow speed.

The soldiers of Sunlun City are not fools, they know what will happen next if they let this huge machine get close to the city wall of Sunlun City.

This is the traditional siege equipment of ancient Chinese warfare, the ladder.

If the name is more vivid, it is a ladder car.

The ladder car moved very slowly, but its appearance caused great psychological pressure on the soldiers defending the city.

They were almost out of their wits, and some directly dropped the bows and arrows in their hands and knelt down on the ground, begging the gods.

Some stared blankly at their colleagues, with tears streaming down their eyes.

Leonard looked at the appearance of the guarding soldiers with a telescope, and nodded with satisfaction: "They have completely collapsed."

Lu Bu sighed: "When I guard the city, I also collapse when I see this kind of thing."

Leonard laughed. He rode forward and shouted loudly, "The descendant will not be killed!"

The soldiers who heard his voice shouted: "The surrender will not be killed!"

The voice was transmitted, and all the soldiers in Little Thorn Fort shouted: "The surrender will not be killed!"

The sound was deafening and awakened the sanity of the soldiers defending the city.

They threw down their weapons one after another, ignoring the officers next to them, and shouted loudly: "I surrender!"

Count Lucas in the castle looked at the ladder over the city wall in shock, and accidentally knocked over his precious porcelain cup.
