Chapter 20 The Great Change

Ballins could clearly feel the changes in the Kaman army under the city wall. No army has launched an attack for two consecutive days. Although there are still troops monitoring their own side from afar to prevent their army from taking this opportunity to dig the moat again, this also gave the already exhausted soldiers an extremely rare respite. No matter what the reason, it gave their side a dream of rest.

The Kamans' attack power was too strong. Although they were mentally prepared and even thought they had overestimated it, when the Kamans actually launched an attack, Balins realized that the other party deserved the reputation of Liberia's number one military power, and did not exaggerate at all. Whether from the complex siege equipment or the unpredictable attack methods, or the quality of participating soldiers in the army, Balins was amazed.

Ten days of continuous strong attacks, advanced siege weapons cooperated with each other, and it took only three days to completely fill the moat that was regarded as a natural barrier. Although the Kamans also paid a considerable price, this was also the beginning of the nightmare of the Derlock soldiers. The subsequent continuous waves of attacks made the fortifications of the Melington City, which they usually think is indestructible, suddenly become thinner. The defensive line that usually seems to be tight suddenly became fragile under the sharp attack of the Kamans. If it weren't for the fact that I had prepared for it, it would be hard to say whether I could survive.

More than 50,000 elite soldiers of the coalition, including more than 30,000 of them, the Wang Family Imperial Guard, whose strongest combat effectiveness, suddenly lost more than 10,000 people in the fierce offensive and defensive battle in the following week, most of whom were either killed in battle or lost their combat effectiveness. Fortunately, the people in the city of Morlington also knew the power of the war. In less than a day after the emergency conscription order was issued, 30,000 elite men were recruited and weapons were immediately distributed. As reserve soldiers, they were ready to enter the battlefield at critical moments, but even Balins himself had no foundation in how strong the combat effectiveness of this unit was.

That difficult week, like a normal year, Ballings persisted until late at night. In addition to arranging military affairs, he also led the patrols to prevent the Kamans from attacking late at night. At one point, Ballings was also a little discouraged. Thinking of the 200,000 enemy troops under the city, he could not hold on until the end. The huge gap between the strength of the two armies made him secretly depressed. In this case, if the city of Morlington is not out for a month, the ending will definitely be that the city will be destroyed. Instead of doing so, it is better to compromise earlier and perhaps win some favorable conditions. These thoughts that made him feel ashamed passed through his mind more than once. Although it was just passing by, he felt deeply ashamed, but this hopeless war even he was in his heart. How could the soldiers welcome them with confidence?

Standing silently on the head of the city like a stone statue, looking down at the distance, the enemy's camp still had no movement. It seemed that there would be no attack today. Ballins felt relieved in his heart. No matter he had experienced many battles, such a cruel war without seeing the light of the dawn made him exhausted physically and mentally. He could delay it for a day. He was even unwilling to think about what caused Kaman Ren to suspend the offensive. He just wanted to go back to the mansion and sleep alone.

But as the commander of the city defense, he told himself that this is a question that must be carefully explored. What exactly makes the enemy who has already gained an absolute advantage pause? This question has actually been hovering in Ballins' mind for a long time. For this reason, he also discussed it with Qin Feng, the chief general of the Allied Army. However, excluding the possibility of reinforcements from the imperial army and the reason for the sudden formation of Kaman's domestic situation, there is only one possibility in front of him, that is, Princess Anne and Red's trip to the northwest achieved its goal. Li Wufeng accepted the exchange conditions and sent troops, but this was only a possibility, but it cannot be verified now. What if it was the virtual airs put on by the Kaman people, who were secretly preparing for a more fierce attack?

After breathing a long breath, Balins shook his head in pain. Alas, it was really a headache, but what I needed more now was to strengthen my defense. As for any changes that occurred outside, I could do nothing, so I could only wait and see what changed.

"Dominic, I'll leave it to you." The silver-haired coach in military uniform patted the Marquis Dominic with a solemn look on the moment he got on the horse. "We can meet again in half a month at most."

"Masterman, don't worry, Dominic will do everything possible to complete the task assigned to me by the Master." A red tide flashed across the Marquis of Dominic's face, and he saluted hard and said, "As long as I, Dominic, are here for one day, I will not let Li Wufeng's army cross this front."

With a smile, a confident look flashed on Miley's face, "You don't need to worry too much. The guardian of the Morlington City, Ballins, is an extremely cautious and suspicious person. The strong attack some time ago probably had already shocked the courage of the Derlock. Now we suddenly stopped the attack, and the Morlington City was surrounded by us and could not get any contact with the outside world at all. I think even if Ballins noticed our abnormality, under the influence of the lack of accurate intelligence and great losses from the subordinates, I concluded that he would never dare to take this risk to go out of the city and fight!"

After hearing the coach's affirmative analysis, Dominic's heart lit up. To be honest, although he thanked the coach for giving him such a difficult task, the situation in front of him was that more than 110,000 people from Li Wufeng's five divisions had already been suppressed, and there was the nail behind him, Molington City. Being attacked from both sides has always been a taboo in military strategists, and he also had quite concerns.

"Then Da Zheng, do you mean I only need to deal with Li Wufeng from the west?" asked thoughtfully, and the light of expectation in Dominic's eyes flashed again.

"Well, you just need to hold Li Wufeng's main force firmly and don't rush to fight him. In addition, strengthen the outer surround of Morlington City to prevent external information from flowing into Morlington City. Once I resolve the Northwest Army on the southern line, I will return immediately." Although Miley looked confident in front of his subordinates, he still had a little worry in his heart. If Ballins in Morlington City saw this through, it would bring a disaster to the entire army. However, based on his understanding of Ballins' personality, Ballins was 90% sure that he would not dare to do this. As for the remaining 10% of the remaining one, he could only bet on this.

"Don't worry, sir, if you only deal with the pressure on Li Wufeng's side, the 80,000 army, Dominic will hold him back even if I fight for my life. If I can't even do this, I'm afraid I will really disappear on the battlefield." Dominic's mouth showed a proud smile. With the guarantee of the head coach, he felt much more at ease. Although Li Wufeng is resourceful, the two armies are fighting for strength at the moment. He has absolute confidence in the strength of his own corps. As long as he keeps on changing all changes, there should be no problem in maintaining for half a month.

Miley chose Dominic to stay and take charge of the overall defense situation. He also took a fancy to Dominic's rich experience and calmness. With his experience and 80,000 elite troops, he should be able to deal with Li Wufeng for a while. Miley is also optimistic about the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army. After all, the Northwest Army was not established for a long time. Although he had experienced a war with Luo Beiren, the Northwest Army had not yet taken shape at all at that time. Then the Northwest Army expanded very quickly, but he had not experienced any real wars. For such an army, Miley doubted their real combat effectiveness. Maybe it was very attractive when training, but it was not necessarily the case when it was taken to the battlefield.

"Well, then I'll be relieved." Miley flew on the horse, looked deeply at the large army that was quietly heading southeast under the night, and turned around and reminded again: "Remember, don't attack easily, but don't show too much weakness. You must not let the Derlocks in the city of Morlington know the real situation here, let them be suspicious. When they wake up, I should return in triumph."

"Don't worry, my subordinates remember." Faced with this meritorious general, Dominic did not dare to neglect the slightest.

On the night of May 16, 696, the main force of the Carman army trapped outside the city of Morlington, led by coach Miley, quietly bypassed the city of Morlington, headed by the starry night, and rushed straight to the south of the Northwest Army 160 miles away. On May 20, Mley led an army of 120,000 to bite the three divisions of the Northwest Army on the South and besieged the junction of Gerok and Lulong. An arduous battle was about to break out.

At the same time, the northwest western front army, which had advanced less than 60 miles from the city of Morlington, also encountered a blockade from the Kaman army. Wufeng, who originally did not want to be entangled with Kaman's main army, immediately noticed the abnormal situation. Although the enemy was extremely tenacious, he was unwilling to face the front with his side. This made Wufeng very strange. This ability was the method he was preparing to use. He stopped it as soon as he touched it, but he did not leave contact and dragged the other party to death. Why did he suddenly use the same method against Ang? Could it be that the situation in their domestic situation changed drastically, and Bai Yinren was suddenly tamed?

Wufeng thought hard about the incident, and it was not until a secret message sent by a snow pigeon that he solved the doubts in his heart.

"Miley, Miley, deserves to be the double pillar among the Kaman soldiers." Wu Feng was filled with emotion by gently throwing the secret on the table. Although Miley's move was extremely vicious and cruel, he pushed himself in a very passive position. Wu Feng still admired the opponent's quickness and quick action. He just grasped his two lines and did not have enough tacit understanding in cooperation, so he made such a big move.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Sha Lang and Kang Jianguo, who first received the news, rushed to the coach's tent to find out the situation.
