Douluo see you soon

Chengying led the army and arrived outside Luolin City early on the third day. As the capital of the Luolin Kingdom, Luolin City had an unusual scene.

It is far inferior to Tiandou City, but it is also much better than Soto City. The inside of the city wall alone has an area of ​​nearly a hundred square kilometers, which can be regarded as a big city.

The appearance of a mighty, long-running motorcade immediately aroused the vigilance of the Luolin City defenders. After all, this was also the capital, and any domestic military movements passing through here must be reported in advance.

Suddenly, such a large-scale army was discovered near the royal city, and there must be something wrong with it.

Cheng Ying had no intention of hiding, and in fact there was no need to do so. With his marching speed and the reconnaissance capabilities of this era, if he wanted to discover them, his troops would have to enter the sight of the city wall.

But having already reached this distance, it was found that there was no point in them. Cheng Ying had already deployed his army ten miles outside the city, and the heavy artillery position could just reach the wall of Luolin City at this distance.

After the widespread use of firearms, the effectiveness of military formations has been greatly reduced, but it can still produce excellent results when used against enemies with cold weapons.

When the garrison at the top of the city saw Cheng Ying's infantry forming a strict flying formation, they immediately knew something was wrong. Although the enemy army only had 5,000 troops and only 10,000 including the logistics troops, they were well-trained and must be elite soldiers.

It is difficult for non-soul master legions to compete with them.

The soul master army in Luolin City only has one thousand Royal Guards. In order to gather a thousand people, the strength of the guards is uneven. Some soul masters with only one level have to make up for their losses and join.

Soul Master Legion.

Unless the Luolin Kingdom cannot provide a thousand elite soul master legions, it is not difficult to achieve this, but these people cannot always stay in the royal city. Some need to guard the border, and some are subordinates of King Luolin's vassals.

The current power system in Douluo Continent is a bit like the enfeoffment system under the Tuien Order. If the fiefdom lord cannot completely rule the fiefdom, he can enfeoff his land to others, and so on. This facilitates the control of foreign races and barbaric areas.

Colonial assimilation brought certain troubles to centralization.

As a result, most of the power of the Luolin Kingdom was not in the royal city. Suddenly, people lined up at the city gate to attack the city, which immediately caused panic among the people in the city. The commander even directly ordered the wolf smoke to be lit at the top of the city and summoned all the feudal lords and kings.

.

King Ren of the Luolin Kingdom is an old man in his fifties. He is not a talented person. He had to endure the death of his father and had no capable brothers, so he took the throne.

Because of his limited abilities, the kingdom gradually lost power. If nothing happens, when he dies, his son will be reduced to a puppet. In another generation or two, the kingdom will probably have to change its master.

At this time, I heard that there was an elite attack on the city, which made it even worse. If the king worked hard to govern, he could take advantage of this crisis to hold the army in his hands and re-centralize power at that time. However, Ren did not have this ability and even hurriedly ordered

Light the smoke and call for help.

In this way, even if the royal city can be preserved, the next step will be for various feudal lords to force the palace to hand over more rights and carve up the Luolin Kingdom.

Similarly, Ren's ministers also have their own hidden agendas, all calculating when they can get more benefits for themselves. If possible, it is not impossible to even open the city gate and let the enemy troops into the city.

Cheng Ying didn't know all of this. Originally, he had the ability to detect this information, but the information was of little significance. When attacking a city with a medieval defense level, the presence or absence of the information would not have much impact.

He just ordered people to shout to the top of the city, ordering Luolin City to open the city and surrender immediately, otherwise the north city gate and the city wall would be demolished.

Not long after, the reaction in the city came out. Renn could not be said to be a complete idiot. After being forced to the gate of the city, he became somewhat bloody. He climbed onto the city wall and confronted Cheng Ying personally.

"Duke Tulip! How dare you be so aggressive? Aren't you afraid of triggering a national war when your troops come to the imperial city of Luolin Kingdom?"

Cheng Ying is now at the forefront of the army and is not afraid of being attacked by others. He laughs loudly: "National war? We are the enemy country, so why should we be afraid of national war!"

"You are so arrogant. A mere duke dares to pretend to be a country. You are really overestimating your own capabilities! A mere ten thousand people want to capture Luolin City. Smoke is lit in the city and reinforcements are coming in an instant. How can you, a small boy, resist a hundred thousand troops?

"

Cheng Ying thought about it for a moment. It seemed that the old man was trying to persuade him to withdraw his troops. If he agreed, he would probably get some benefits. It seemed that the old man's own rule was not very stable. He might take the opportunity to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf. Cheng Ying

Ying killed several disobedient lords in his territory.

Cheng Ying has no interest in this. What he wants is the entire Luolin Kingdom, at least the core territory of the Luolin Kingdom. As for the messy princes, those who are disobedient will be beaten, and those who are obedient will live a few more days. That's fine.

It is said that the kingdom will be broken down into a bunch of federations, which will weaken the national power to a considerable extent, but what does this have to do with Chengying?

The intellectuals in his hands who have the ability to rule are not enough to rule a kingdom-sized territory, so naturally they can only be allowed to rule the core territory of a kingdom, mainly for the population of the kingdom's territory and surrounding vassals.

With the predatory development plan formulated by Cheng Ying, people from neighboring feudal countries will definitely choose to flee to his factory due to the double exploitation of the scissor gap and the nobility.

At that time, it will take less than a few years to weaken those vassals to the point where they are unable to fight anymore. As the saying goes, conquering the enemy's army without fighting is a good thing.

Therefore, there is no need to let go of the Luo Lin Kingdom now, so Cheng Ying responded resolutely: "The rising smoke will indeed attract your vassal King Qin, but if you, the king, are no longer here before that, I will come and see

Let’s see if King Qin’s army can fight on their own under Luolin City!”

"Arrogant! King Qin's army will arrive within a week. Then you will be the turtle in the urn. The army will attack in large numbers. How can you be spared?" Renn laughed, as if he had discovered a loophole in Cheng Ying's language.

"A week? Do you think you can hold on for a week? Three days, within three days, my Tulip flag will be on Luolin City. By then, King Qin's army will be leaderless. It is already the limit without civil strife. Do you still want to besiege me?"

"Arrogant! The city wall is thirty meters high and five meters thick. Even if I let you attack the city, it would be impossible to defeat it within a week. Fortunately, I thought you were a hero. Turns out you are a fool who doesn't even know how to attack a city.

husband!

The soldiers obey the order and guard the city for a week. They will all be rewarded! Let the arrogant people below the city see the majesty of Luolin City!" Ren's words immediately boosted the morale on the city wall.

Cheng Ying shook his head: "Isn't it good to be alive? Order the artillery positions to open fire, and tear down their northern city wall before dark!"
