Chapter 517: Battle of Karndorf Fortress
Just as dawn broke, the low blare of war horns echoed from afar.
The Maclay Legion had commenced today's siege operations.
However, Li Wei and Li Yue were still eating breakfast, looking quite relaxed, as they truly had no part to play in today's battle.
Yesterday, Baravid's seven hundred-plus heavy cavalry hadn't returned to the east bank of the Ness River. Instead, they camped thirty miles away from Li Wei's First Fortress, posturing as if they weren't going anywhere—as if to say, 'we'll be right here watching you, come out and fight three hundred rounds if you have the guts.'
But the Karndorf Legion's ten thousand infantry had five thousand troops directly reassigned, along with those thirty troop carriers, crossing to the east bank of the Ness River to join the siege.
The underlying message was clear: if you don't move, we don't move. But if you dare to move, we will cut off your retreat.
Faced with this situation, Li Wei and the others naturally wouldn't act rashly. 'Bring it on! We have ample supplies and a sturdy fortress. I wouldn't be Li Wei if I was afraid of you.'
They would just wait it out. Who was afraid of whom?
Besides, they could use this time to continue repairing and reinforcing the First Fortress and Second Fortress, perfecting the various auxiliary facilities. Even though both fortresses were eventually going to be given to that lucky bastard Li Siyuan, at least for now, they were still the ones living in them.
