Chapter 267 A better way out

What happened to Zhao Fubo is like? This is a puzzle that hopes to be confirmed for the people in the Aden Fortress. Whether Gong Zi or Juliana, this is an important question for them. The former needs to be judged whether the Aden Fortress still needs to be defended, and the latter needs to be judged whether his lover is still living in this world.

For them, this is a question that will bring sadness. However, the day after the last large-scale attack of the Lord Ashlever, the people of the Aden Fortress received the exact news.

"Listen, this is the news from Hodeida City. Our island owner is not only safe, but also led our cavalry and has occupied Zabid, Hodeida City, and two other cities..."

The speakers stood on the tower of the Aden Fortress, where the "Light News" used to contact the outside world was located. The note waving in his hands recording the content of the "Light News" was quickly passed to Gong Zi and the others.

"Look, I've said a long time ago that those guys are just lying to us. Is it so easy to cheat me?"

Looking back, she took an embroidered shoe and sent the little Ashleff City Lord, Gong Zi couldn't help but feel proud again. As soon as she was proud, the charming smell became heavier. However, her change was immediately considered by everyone here because of the order she announced, which was really a very beautiful image.

"Everyone, no matter who we are, we will add food tonight and we will give away wine. Let's celebrate!"

When it comes to adding dishes, the crowd below makes cheers. But when it comes to drinking, everyone looks at Muke with their eyes unspeakable. In the army on the island of Felekai, whether to send wine or how much is it, is the right of the Military Law Department.

Muke looked at Gong Zi, and he felt dizzy. It was during the battle that he gave the soldiers wine. What should they do if the other party attacked at night? However, Gong Zi is the commander of the Aden Fortress, and as a subordinate Muke, he really cannot help but give her face.

Looking at the earnest smiles on the soldiers below, Muke showed a cold smile on his face. It was easy to remind people of the cold wind that would blow after night came.

"Half!"

"well……"

A sound like a deflated sound rang out. No one knows the military law department that controls alcohol. Generally, when senior officers are in a good mood or want to cheer their subordinates up, they often apply for some wine. Unfortunately, the guys in the military law department are meticulous in their duties. When they give out the wine, they often come at "one qian, two qian"!

As they stayed in the army of Feraike for a long time, the soldiers were "born for a long time" to drink wine, which was "born over time". Many people gradually became a little addicted to alcohol, which was not counted because there was no military ration for MSG added to Ferai, what should those spirits be used to match! Unconsciously, various factors affected their loyalty to Ferai and Zhao Fubo.

Muke, who had elongated his voice, sucked everyone's appetite and received the unit of measurement that should have after the word "half".

"……two!"

As Muke spoke, the people below immediately cheered. There was nothing more exciting to the soldiers than to add food for dinner.

"Long live...Long live..."

Of course, these voices are not calling for long live Zhao Fubo, but half a tael of wine is enough to make them "activate blood circulation and depress", and can forget most of the fear on the battlefield.

With the news of the food and wine spreading, bright gas lamps were hung in the Aden Fortress. In the dark night, these lights made the Aden Fortress shrouded in a light curtain. The wind with sand and dust that swept across the wilderness also came to the sky above the fortress in a fun way. The light yellow dust made the lights more obvious.

Compared with the joy in the Aden Fortress, Zhao Fubo conquered four cities on the Western Front in a row after his expedition, and conveyed that Aden City was preparing to siege the Aden Fortress for a long time, some chaos caused.

Especially the excited shouting and singing voices in the fortress of Aden were completely different worlds compared to their camps.

In the camp where the silence gradually came, there would occasionally be long, creepy wails from wounded people. The cruelty of war was only truly revealed after the nightfall, when everyone lying in bed could listen quietly.

In the entire camp, only soldiers surrounded the campfire. Because of bad news, the soldiers who were reluctant to speak were just looking at the beautiful flames in the bonfire and were ecstatic.

The ordinary Mamluk cavalry, what they feared was to attack the city again. When they encountered something that would rain fire, explode and fly around. They found that neither their shields nor their iron armor would have any effect on those things.

Even those things made them unable to perform the skills of the Mamluk cavalry that they were proud of. Because most people would be burned into a dead body before they reached the city, or they would be injured by the flying debris. They would die in the subsequent festering and infection.

Of course, they did not have the means to use alcohol, needles and warm water to wash wounds in the Ferai army. Although the surgical level of the Ferai military doctor is only about suturing the wounds due to the understanding of human body structure. But this item has already made many veterans who have been on the battlefield but were injured, and they can leave their lives and become elite soldiers.

When many soldiers heard that their homes had fallen, the worries and sorrows in their hearts were not easy to dissipate. They leaned against the bonfire, eating unpalatable dried meat or anything else to find. No one took out the weapons made of iron, which were usually cherished, and grinded them out to a very sharp edge.

The dull atmosphere in the entire camp formed a sharp contrast with the cheerful atmosphere in the Aden Fortress. This incident not only attracted the attention of the little Lord Ashlever, but his senior accountant, the old financial officer, also noticed this incident.

The little city lord Ashleff, with a deep frown, looked up at the moon that had changed from crescent moon to semicircular in the sky. He began to worry in his heart how long the city lords who had lost their home could last. Without their support, there would be no attack from the Aden Fortress.

As for the city lords of those cities in the eastern Aden province, he did not expect them. Those people would not cause huge losses to his strength for him. Especially in the attacks these days, nearly two thousand people were discounted, but even the edge of the Aden Fortress was not up.

"Governor!"

The old financial officer came to the camp from his home in Aden City, and his servant behind him brought the exquisite food he made at home in his food box. Looking at the frown little Ashlever, he was worried that the current failure would make the little Ashlever City Lord lose his confidence in siege. If that is the case... now he must give this little Ashlever some anger to accomplish.

But the little Lord Ashlever shook his head at his name "Governor" with a faint sadness on his face.

"No, forget it, let's call me the city lord, or I don't even have a city now, you can also call me my name!"

The old financial officer glanced at him. Although it was just quietly, Little Ashlever still felt the deep meaning in the other party's eyes.

"You...do you think we can..."

The old financial officer's eyes flashed, analyzing the current situation for him. But what he told him was such a helpless and had to face.

"Governor General, your brother was once the Governor General, so now after you lose him, you will naturally be the Governor General of the Aden province. Moreover, you must continue the battle in front of you!"

The little city lord Ashleff looked at the old financial officer in front of him and didn't understand what he meant. Even if he couldn't defeat the Aden Fortress in front of him, the Aden City was still his own. In addition, if it really didn't work, he could lead his own army to the governors of other provinces, or find a place.

"I don't understand, they are not easy to deal with the guys in the fortress we are facing. Maybe..."

The old financial officer shook his head with a smile.

"No, you have to fight. Because no province has taken in the governor of another province, and you may lose the support of the lords of the western Aden province in the near future. Because they are eager to regain their homes, and this is exactly what the enemy attacking us wants us to do."

The little city lord Ashleff smiled bitterly. He also knew that the city lords he had relied on had begun to worry. They would completely lose their territory, and conquering Aden would not be of much benefit to their strength.

As for the city lords of the cities in eastern Aden, they were not trustworthy at all, so if they had any ideas, they would not have been surprised by the city lord Ashleff.

"Then I want to know, what I rely on to keep them. Now we can't conquer the fortress, we..."

Looking at the dejected little city lord Ashlever, the old financial officer quietly frowned.

"He is not a warrior, not as brave as his brother, dares to fight. He doesn't understand that if he had not captured the Fortress of Aden, then he would be nothing. Even Zabid City was captured by others, if he still looked like this..."

After the old Finance Minister left the little city lord Ashlever, he had been thinking about this question. He looked at the brightly lit fortress, and then looked at the huge army of the Aden province, which was powerless to face the fortress.
