Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 162: Crossing the river, crossing the river

Chapter 162 Crossing the river, crossing the river

Grindia common calendar On February 18, 1678, the forward unit of the northbound caravan was led by Fierce Tiger Ross and the leader of the scout light cavalry Yuri. They went one step ahead to the lower ferry crossing of the Mitobro River to Territory in Hula Baron. To build a pontoon, resettle the camp, and cope with the caravan and the refugees who arrived later. `

Els also rushed to Kebo City to report to Lorist on this day. After resting in Nadegas City for a winter and the injury had just recovered, he couldn't wait to hire carriage and rushed back with four Imperial Guard. Els brought two news to Lorist. One was on the way back. I met a Royal Guard Legion from Second Highness. The number was about 10,000. It will reach Kebo City in two days.

The second news is that Second Highness is more than ten miles away from Vanades City, that is, on the road leading to the fortress castle of Liechtenstein, a fortress at a more dangerous terrain is constructing a fortress, which has mobilized forty to fifty thousand labor(er). .

Lorist looked at the map and felt a little strange.

Charade and Potterfang, Terman and others have been talking about it. Charade believes that more than 10,000 Royal Guards Legion soldier(s) coming to Kebo City should come to receive the city defense. After all, Kebo City is the center of Delamock Province, and it is a fortress city. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack. After Lorist clearly stated that it refused to stay, Second Highness It is impossible to abandon the city in vain. With the 10,000 soldier(s) stationed, even the Second Prince invasion is enough to withstand a long period of time.

But why does Second Highness build a fortress more than ten miles away from Vanades City? As usual, he should vigorously strengthen the defense facilities of Vanades City and transform it into a fortress city. As long as you occupy the traffic center of Vanades City, you can master the initiative of the battlefield, you can attack, retreat and defend, and have no worries.

Finally, the opinion of Potterfang is the most reasonable. He believes that the fortress newly built by Second Highness should ensure a back road. In addition, it can echo back and forth during the defensive battle, forcing the enemy to be unable to besiege Vanades City. It is also possible that even if Vanades City is compromised. As long as the defender retreats behind the fortress, he can still guarantee that the newly incorporated Yungechandler Province in the Andinak Kingdom territory will not be attacked by the enemy.

Lorist endorses this opinion, but caravan and the refugees will soon leave Kebo City and return to the family Territory. It will not be a matter of their own fate. Everyone should be concerned about when they can cross the river to Northern Land.

Two days later, the 10,000 soldier(s) of the Royal Guard Legion sent by Second Highness arrived at Kebo City, and Charade handed them the city defense and 20 million jin of grain.

Unexpectedly by Lorist and others, the Royal Guard's troops did not strengthen the city defense facilities, but began to demolish the walls. It took them ten days to completely demolish three walls and six walls, then destroyed a dozen towers, and finally brought food to grow ...

"My day ..." Charade yelled: "Vicious calculation, he is using our caravan as a bait ..."

Lorist has a somber face: "We must speed up the transfer. Fortunately, we have been out a few days ago, if it is to be delayed until now, it will be late. Order scouts of the light cavalry to increase the scope of inspections and detect Delamock Province Territory Aristocrat(s). Especially the southern border with Iberia Kingdom. The remaining supplies and personnel here are immediately transferred to the downstream ferry ... "

No one expected that Second Highness sent troops to demolish the city wall of Kebo City. This is the abandoned city of Kebo City. There is still more than 300 miles from the Kebo City to the downstream ferry of the Miduobuluo River. With the size of the northbound caravan and the drag of 100,000 refugees, it will take at least two or three months. What's more, there is the Midobuluo River in front, so many people carriage want to spend more time crossing the river ...

It is now the end of February. Even if Second Prince leads the army to invade Delamock Province more than a month later, it will take about 15 days from the border to Kebocheng. When his current Kebo City was abandoned, he had two options, one was to go to Vanades City, and the other was to catch up with caravan northbound and intercept the northbound caravan on the Miduobuluo River ...

Think about the huge supplies and scale of Northbound caravan. With the greedy nature of Second Prince, it is easy to figure out what choice he will make ...

Lorist was embarrassed. He was willing to hand over Kebo City to Second Highness. He also gave out 20 million pounds of food. The original intention was to hope that Second Highness would send troops to stand by Kebo City. Block the Second Prince's soldier front, so as to give the northbound caravan and the refugees time to safely cross the river to reach Northern Land. But he really didn't expect Second Highness to do such a brilliant job. He simply abandoned Kebo City and put caravan in danger.

"My sun!" Lorist sighed. He is not afraid of the army of Second Prince. With the current size and strength of caravan armed forces, it is not impossible to resist the offensive of the Second Prince army or even defeat them. You can kill three thousand enemies and damage eight hundred. Why did your family armed forces make sacrifices for Second Highness's dominance? Even if I beat the Second Prince, what benefits can I get? Nothing. Maybe offended that Second Prince's father-in-law, the powerful Fisablen Duke(s) ...

Indeed, no one is a fool, neither Lorist nor Second Highness. Lorist wanted to avoid this confusing water. He was unwilling to get rid of the Second Highness fire. He just wanted to take caravan and the refugees back to the family Territory to start construction and establish a unified system. And Second Highness is necessary to drag him into the water. I want to use the Norton Family northbound caravan to fight for time for myself. I even hope that caravan armed forces and Second Prince will lose each other in order to make themselves profitable.

Yongxiong is a Xiongxiong, not a fuel-saving lamp! Lorist has to admit that it has miscalculated and should not pin its hopes of sticking to Kebo City on Second Highness. Now Second Highness has come to the bottom to draw a salary, and he has been set on fire again.

"Come here, preach the order ..." Lorist thought for a moment and issued a series of orders.

"Order Potterfang to lead Heavy Armor Corps to the crossing of the river as soon as possible, take over all the affairs in the camp, arrange for manual logging and build defense facilities ..."

"Order Ross, Terman, and Pitt to lead their armored horse riders, Knight(s) regiments, and archers to collect Delamock Province Territory Aristocrat(s) vehicles, sheepskin rafts, and small fishing boats. The more the better. If there is a rebel ..." Lorist paused, Coldly spit out four words: "Don't talk about killing!"

"Order Farrea, Malek led the defense after Legion breaks. Maintain caravan and the flow of migrants and security vigilance. Those who deliberately delay their trip, kill no pardon!"

"Order the artisan camp, no matter what method is used, it is necessary to build more than four pontoons across the river as soon as possible.`The lack of supplies and appliances will be handed over to Ross for collection.

Reidy stood behind Lorist and copied the order one by one on animal skin paper, and then gave it to Lorist for signature. Patt burned the red beeswax on the signature, and the Lorist flip ring stamped the beeswax. Finally, Patt turned the animal skin paper with the order into a small silver tube, and dripped beeswax at the upper and lower interfaces of the small silver tube. The angry bear badge was printed, and this was handed over to the Imperial Guard to send orders.

"We must also speed up. Before the end of this month, we have to move the grain of Kebo City anyway and leave here." Lorist turned to Charade.

Charade nodded.

...

When Lorist arrived at the ferry crossing of Baron Territory in Shuras, already was on March 6th. Kebo City. Except for nearly a thousand abandoned people who were driven out of caravan and the exile team, all caravan personnel and exiles are continuously going to the ferry Arrived at the camp.

already built three floating bridges on the Miduobuluo River, and one more than half. A car camp was also set up across the bank, and the caravan personnel and vehicles who had arrived earlier were crossing the river on two pontoons. There is also a relatively large pontoon for vehicles to unload materials and come back after the other side. The driver and horse driver all line up carefully and slowly back from the pontoon.

"Lord(s). Go to the manor castle for a rest," said Potterfang, who came to welcome him.

Lorist looked at the manor castle of Correct Xiulus Baron referring to Potterfang, and asked, "Where is Xiulus Baron?"

"Who?" The face of Potterfang was inexplicable.

"I'm talking about the local Lord(s)." Lorist said.

Potterfang suddenly realized, and pointed to the ferry terminal with his hand: "There ..."

Lorist turned around and saw four or five corpses hanging from the tall wooden stands in the dock swaying in the wind ...

"Who did it?"

"Yuri and Ross." Potterfang replied.

"Why?" Lorist asked.

"This Lord(s) does not allow us to build a pontoon, saying that the banks of the Baili River are all his Territory. If he wants to cross the river, he will have to pay him the cost of crossing the river. Yuri and Ross were angry, so he hung him up and occupied it by the way His estate castle. "

Lorist is speechless, another one who is trying to die by himself, doesn't he have long eyes? I didn't look at the strong soldiers and strong men, and thought that it was the former Empire peace time. No one dared to offend Aristocrat(s). When is it time to not retract the manor castle to guard against death, and dare to come to cross the river. Really want money and die, deserve it.

Yuri and Ross are not good speakers. One following Lorist is one of the earliest starters of Dawn Academy, and the other has just been given the title of Tiger by Lorist. In particular, the two of them and caravan went north to hang up at Andinak Kingdom with no less than a hundred Lord(s) Aristocrat(s), and they have long lost the awe of the Aristocrat(s) class. Not to mention serious consideration, the Baron is a Madras Grand Duke party. It is a hostile camp. Hanging him has no pressure on Yuri and Ross.

"Forget it, bury them and bury them. After all, they are all old acquaintances, so hanging is not good."

"Yes, Lord(s)."

After ten days, Ross, Terman and Pete are back. This is the third time that they have been collected. They have already been collected around, so they ran a bit farther and collected more than a thousand big cars. More than a hundred sheepskin rafts and dozens of small fishing boats, as well as more than two hundred large carriage full of supplies, were seized after they hanged three resistance Territory Aristocrat(s).

The sheepskin raft, small fishing boat and Locke boat already manufactured by Lorist are enough to build six pontoons, which has stopped Ross. They are interested in planning to go out again, while arranging to bring those vehicles to Charade speeds up the transfer of personnel, while letting soldier(s)s rest for two days, then as long as more wood is cut to make wooden rafts to speed up the process of building the pontoon bridge.

On March 18th, Yuri, a servant of the dust, arrived at the ferry, and he brought a message to Lorist.

Grindia common calendar On March 12, 1768, King of Iberia Kingdom, Krissen of Second Prince, and IBilly, led the 70,000 army to claim to support Madras Grand Duke against Andinak Kingdom invasion through Delamock Province of Madras Dukedom to attack Andinak Kingdom.

This time Second Prince borrowed three regiments from his father-in-law Fisablen Duke(s)'s frontier Legion, coupled with his own garrison and his private army of Territory Aristocrat(s), gathered more than 70,000 troops and entered Delamock Province.

"I do n’t know where his military food has just started to harvest winter wheat?" Lorist wondered, and immediately understood: "Paralysis. One is better than one. Second Prince is aiming at Delamock Province. The winter wheat to be harvested comes from borrowing grain and the enemy, and the idea is to collect winter wheat as a military ration! "

But Lorist doesn't care about Second Prince's army at all now. already has built five large and small pontoons. The sixth building is under construction. Subsequent caravan personnel and exiles did not need to wait in the camp at the ferry, they could just cross the river to the camp on the other side to rest.

The only thing that worries Lorist is the more than 120 million kilograms of grain reserves. Based on a four-wheeled carriage shipment of two thousand kilograms of grain, 10,000 large trucks only transport 20 million kilograms at a time. You have to go back and forth six times.

Lorist invites Potterfang. Let him lead the Heavy Armor Corps across the river first, and preside over the defense of the camp. More and more materials and personnel crossed the river, where only the Terman Knight(s) regiment and a scout light cavalry squadron could not complete the security alert task of the camp.

Potterfang is very worried that after crossing the river with Heavy Armor Corps, he cannot defend against Second Prince's attack.

Lorist laughed, there is no need to worry about Second Prince's army now, because Second Prince wants to collect military rations, it is impossible to ride quickly to chase the northbound caravan, even if it is a small army, there are three Ross brigades with iron armors sitting here. Small-scale rides come just to deliver food.

"By the way, after you cross the river, knock down the town in the opposite direction. Give me the name Viscount, um, probably Viscount of Dafufu. Hang me at the gate of the city." Lorist ordered.

"Why? Lord(s), that's just a broken town." Potterfang was curious. Since the caravan set up a pontoon bridge to transport goods and materials to the camp, the broken town over there has been very regular, honestly behind closed doors, not even a person who came to interrogate the detective. So that Terman led the Knight(s) group after crossing the river are too lazy to take care of this broken town.

"Your messenger sent by caravan rested in this broken town after crossing the river, but was tainted as a horse thief was robbed by the defense team, and only ran out five. The last time I crossed the river, already sent that Viscount to The defensive team charged by the ferry was hanged. Today, you just went to the thief's den and knocked me out. "Lorist explained.

"Yes, obey, Lord(s)."

Potterfang led the Heavy Armor Corps after crossing the river as soon as possible to charge the broken town on the riverfront, and won the broken town at the cost of zero casualties. After half an hour. Potterfang snatched the horse and was rushed back.

"Lord(s), there are not many people in that broken town. It is said that the Lord(s) Davov Viscount took the defensive team and young people to respond to the call of Northern Land Grand Duke(s) Loggins Duke(s) to attack Norton Family, and it has been almost a month since I left ..."

"What did you say?" After listening to the news from Potterfang, Lorist almost jumped up. Loggins Duke(s) didn't die and got the idea of ​​Norton Family?

"Order Yuri to immediately dispatch the scout light cavalry to probe the news of Northern Land, and let Jim take a small team to get in touch with the family. See what is going on? He hired Mercenary and was very familiar with the situation of Northern Land .Patt, you also go together. "Lorist calmed down and felt no need to worry.

Boulder Castle's city wall defense Lorist is well understood and easy to defend and difficult to attack. What's more, there is Shen Jian Joske sitting in town, you can rest assured. Another passageway already to the interior of the family Territory cut off the traffic because the cable bridge was burned. Loggins Grand Duke(s) called Northern Land's Lord(s) to lead troops to attack Norton Family Territory. There was no other way than to break Boulder Castle. Just Northern Land those Lord(s) peasant soldier(s) want to capture Boulder Castle? Oh, that's a joke.

Lorist felt that the situation should be investigated first, and all materials and personnel should cross the river before making plans. This time, I have to hit the face of that **** Grand Duke(s) fiercely. Can I be defensively beaten again and again and again?

Charade still uses the Bailiyi Battalion transfer method. Finally, the remaining supplies, caravan personnel and refugees were sent to the ferry before the end of March, and the crossing began immediately.

On April 3, the last wave of scouts cavalry inspecting the Second Prince army also rushed back. The news they brought back was that Second Prince's army was busy grabbing winter wheat and suppressing the resistance of Delamock Province Territory Aristocrat(s). At present, there are no Territory Aristocrat(s) in Delamock Province southern area. All the unlucky Aristocrat(s)s that were hung on the gallows by Second Prince are all accused of private Andinak Kingdom, resisting the allies who rescued Madras Grand Duke, and the IBilly sub-team led by Second Prince.

Grindia common calendar On April 5, 1768, Lorist, as the last person to cross the river, set foot on the ferry and ordered the demolition of six pontoons. At this point, the northbound caravan and the refugees have finally reached the Northern Land plateau.
