Chapter 147 Night attack!
When Yersen and Anthony more or less sensed that something was amiss.
Brand had just captured White Rock City, and the soldiers were still nervously cleaning the battlefield, registering prisoners, and building defense lines.
Due to lack of manpower, the progress of various tasks is slow.
It was not until the evening of that day that the first two tasks were completed. As for the construction of the defense line, it could only be continued the next day.
Because a large number of prisoners were obtained in the battle of Baishi City.
In addition, Brand and Louise are not interested in these ordinary bandits who have no strength.
So the two captains and their soldiers walked among the bandits, selecting soldiers and registering the identities of the prisoners.
Similar to Rock Core City, White Rock City also has some other people besides bandits, women, children, old and young.
This time there were no merchants to help them.
Most of the merchants are still in Rock Core City.
Regarding the placement of these personnel, after briefly asking about the supply situation in the White Rock City warehouse, Brand decided to let them build the defense line, and the reward was three meals a day.
Wait until the merchants follow the army to Baishi City, then let go.
...
Another day passed in a dull manner.
At noon the next day.
Yersin, who spent a day recuperating in the bandit's lair, led his troops and began to march towards White Rock City, preparing to join Brand.
Although they were not far from White Rock City, their marching speed was relatively slow due to the large number of wounded and the lack of knowledge of Brand's specific location.
At almost the same time, Anthony, who was in Core City, received urgent news from Brand's army scouts:
White Rock City had been captured by Brand's team. After interrogating the White Rock City Lord, he learned that there was a high probability that the Liuyue City Lord was... A great knight with the idea of founding a kingdom in a chaotic area.
After receiving the news from Brand, Anthony couldn't sit still.
Anthony had previously received two magic gold daggers with similar workmanship and "town name" engraved on them. Anthony was still a little confused at first.
But when he heard the news from Brand that Liuyue City was preparing to establish a country, he understood it immediately.
——That is the recognition and token of the future "King" or "Grand Duke" of the City Lord of Liuyue City to his subordinates.
Anthony didn't care at all whether the bandits would build a country or not. What he cared about was the strength of the lord of Liuyue City.
You must know that Brand and Yersin are heading towards Liuyue City.
If the city lord is really a great knight, then Brand and Yersen are in a dangerous situation.
——They are no match for the Great Knight!
Thinking of this, Anthony ordered:
The army immediately broke out of camp and marched towards White Rock City, and sent scouts to find Yersen's location, and asked Yersen's troops to quickly move closer to White Rock City.
After Anthony led his army to leave, there were only about two thousand defenders left in Core City.
On the merchant side, knowing that Baishi City had been occupied, most of the merchants quickly set off in teams, preparing to follow the army to "receive" the bandit slaves in Baishi City.
...
This evening, the weather was cloudy.
Under the cover of night, a group of thousands of bandits began to sneak slowly towards Baishi City.
Because Baishi City is located in a plain area, the defenders have strict sentry posts.
Under such a premise, they actually didn't expect how far they could sneak in.
But you can always take one step closer.
They are just bait anyway.
The real "elites" are already waiting in the tunnels of White Rock City.
Although the tunnel had been discovered by the defenders and blocked with sand and gravel.
But after investigation, it was found that the tunnel was not too blocked, and it would not take too long to dig it out again.
In addition, during the day, through the damaged city wall, they had roughly figured out where the prisoners in the city were being held.
As long as they attract the attention of the defenders outside the city.
Their "elites" will quickly dig out the tunnels, rush straight to the prison camp, and release those "good brothers" who have not yet surrendered!
Then, let these soldiers who don’t know the heights of heaven and earth pay the price with their blood!
"Enemy attack!!!"
As the patrolling soldiers discover the traces of the bandits, they will shoot a red signal arrow into the sky.
The bandits outside Baishi City stopped "sneaking" and immediately shouted various slogans and rushed towards Baishi City.
At the same time, seeing the signal arrow rising into the sky, the horn of war was quickly sounded!
The well-trained soldiers immediately got up, put on their armor, and lined up.
Then, under the command of their respective superiors, they supported the battlefield in an orderly manner!
On Brand's side, because he lived in an underground stone house under the tent, the sound insulation effect was relatively good, so he was not awakened immediately.
After a while of Catherine's gentle words, he slowly opened his eyes.
When he slowly walked out of the tent with Catherine who had finished her armor.
His camp has been surrounded and guarded by soldiers.
Seeing Brand and Catherine coming out, a captain quickly came over to greet them.
Another captain has led a team to support the front line.
On his side, he is preparing to protect Brand and listen to Brand's orders.
Brand did not ask about the current battlefield situation. Under the eyes of insight, the battlefield situation was clearly visible.
He first looked at the situation outside the city.
Although due to the disparity in numbers, the situation there is more critical.
But the follow-up support troops are about to be in place, so it's not a big problem.
Then, Brand turned his eyes again and looked towards the City Lord's Mansion not far from him.
Brand's tent was placed in the open square outside the city lord's palace.
It was only about a hundred meters away from the city lord's palace.
Seeing Brand's eyes looking towards the city lord's palace, the captain also followed his gaze.
——The door of the City Lord's Mansion was gently pushed open, and a group of bandits were standing inside the door, preparing to come out...
"In the direction of the City Lord's Mansion! Form formation!!!"
Following the captain's shout, the soldiers He quickly looked in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
Good guy!
There is such a large group of bandits here! !
The bandits were also taken aback.
Unexpectedly, I was blocked just after I came out of the city lord's mansion!
When the bandits were a little panicked and the soldiers were preparing to quickly form a formation, Brand held up his right hand, and a light blue wind bomb quickly took shape.
When the bandits were about to react, the wind bomb had already hit the city lord's mansion.
Then, the ground shook slightly, and the house and walls instantly disintegrated and exploded.
Under the darkness of night, an imperceptible hemispherical twisting storm spread out around the city lord's palace.
The bandits quickly "took off" under the influence of the storm!
Seeing the familiar scene in front of him, the captain shouted out the correct evasive measures in a flash:
"Get down!!!"
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the storm swept over.
Brand, protected by Catherine, stood firmly in place with his hands in his pockets.
The soldiers were more polarized, reacting quickly and sticking to the ground.
Those who reacted slower were blown to the ground and rolled over.
Because the output is controlled, overall, there is not much of a problem.
