Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 432: On the front line
Chapter 432 is on the front line
Since we decided to adopt a strategy of not fighting each other and waiting for the civil strife in Handra Dukedom, Second Highness immediately convened various Territory Aristocrat(s) and Legion leaders to redistribute the forces for more than 300,000 troops. First, the camp retreated fifty miles, moved to the border of Westwood, and rebuilt. However, the barracks established this time need to establish defensive positions and guard posts to prevent sneak attacks by the enemy.
In addition, Dazhai is divided into two, two Duke Kenmays Heavy Armor Corps and Norton Family Flying Tiger Legion, Count Felim's Pegasus Legion are arranged on the left, blocking the main point and direction of Handra Dukedom leading to Faker Dukedom Keribia Province. As for White Lion Legion, the third frontier Legion and reserve Legion led by Grand Duke Fisablen are arranged on the right, and behind them is the province of Pedro of Forund Duchy. The two Dazhai left and right like two sharp knives topped the ribs of Westwood, making the Handra Dukedom as the defender very unsuitable for this new situation.
If Second Highness does not move to the big camp, then the task of Handra Dukedom to defend the Red Army Legion of Veroney Pass is to defend the defense position of the pass, and the Forund Duchy first guard Legion and the horse on the right are placed on the left Cloud Breaking Mountain Range end mountain. The green forest mountain Legion of Fakal Dukedom in Tenemadi Mountains and Rivers can also carry out sneak attacks or left and right attacks on the big camp when the enemy is unprepared, involving the Andinak Kingdom coalition attack. But now that the camp is back 50 miles, the defenders do not know which direction Second Highness's next attack will be. The three Legions in the front line may be attacked.
In order to understand the purpose of the Second Highness's withdrawal from the camp, the defending Handra Dukedom side sent a lot of scouts to go down to detect and reconnaissance. However, the fifty miles that Second Highness retreated were all plains. This was a light cavalry. All scouts that descended from the mountain were attacked by light cavalry. In addition to surrender, it was a dead end. The scouts sent by the defenders were severely injured and only a few were injured. Few lucky people can report back what they have detected.
Should not attack each other is not to stop fighting, but to give the enemy to the defense the continuous mental pressure without actively attacking, and eventually force the enemy to withstand the pressure and collapse. Second Highness did a very good job. Although he retreated fifty miles, he ordered the two Legions of the flying tigers Legion and Grand Duke Fisablen from Lorist to use the cavalry's mobility from time to time to appear in front of the enemy's three defensive positions. The posture makes the defender dare not relax.
After arranging the layout of the two front camps, Second Highness handed over the front-line affairs to Lorist and Grand Duke Fisablen respectively. It was nothing more than one person in charge of a Dazhai village, which continued to maintain pressure on the defending side and prevent enemy dogs from jumping off the wall. , And he himself led the family Legion of Shaheen Count to Pedro City. In the next two years, the summer palace of Pedro City will become the home base of Second Highness, where Second Highness will handle the newly occupied three Dukedom eight provinces and the affairs of the kingdom, preside over the development and construction of eight provinces, and be the front line. Of troops provide adequate armaments and so on.
Looking at the various flags flying in the distance, the Duke Kenmays who turned off for the Second Highness turned to Lorist and said, "Hennard is too stupid. This time, it did not benefit from your majesty, and was stupidly taken as a thug. I bet your Majesty will return to Pedro City this time to prepare the Territory Aristocrat(s) of Forund Duchy, and Hennard is the knife in his hand.
This time, it was agreed to cooperate with Second Highness to adopt a strategy of not attacking each other to deal with the four Grand Duke(s)s in the middle. Grand Duke Fisablen required a Legion weapon and a place of 50,000 immigrants after capturing Handra Dukedom. Duke Kenmays got two years of Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce to pass the entire kingdom. Tax-free commitments. Count Felim required 30,000 strong labor to open southern provinces after the war. Lorist has obtained three years of tax exemption period for family Territory and jurisdiction Territory. It was just that Shaheen Count was too straight, and once again asked Second Highness to allocate a mineral-rich province to the family Territory after the war, without any specific rewards.
"Stupid is stupid." Lorist said: "Hennard went to serve His Majesty as a knife this time, in fact, His Majesty's compensation to him. Now we have all these troops here, and all the logistics needed Long-distance transportation is really expensive. Although Forund Duchy has not suffered much damage from the war, its accumulated grain and armament supplies already have consumed almost the same. Although the harvest of winter wheat is not without small supplements, it cannot support the army. How long.
It's three or four months before the next grain harvest here. In such a long time, no matter how capable your majesty is, you can't change the grain. In addition to arranging cultivation to encourage production, the cost of relying on logistics to transport the grain is too expensive. The cost is also high, so the best way is to clean up those Territory Aristocrat(s) of Forund Duchy. It is estimated that under this knife, your majesty will easily get 300,000 troops a year of food. And during the execution of Hennard, are you still worried that he cannot drink soup? Anytime you get two or three hundred thousand, gold fordes, your eyes will be open and closed. "
Count Felim snorted a little unpleasantly: "This guy has left the dog * **** * and was transported, hoping that he will not be pulled over by His Majesty."
"Heh ..." Duke Kenmays quickly rounded off the game. After all, Shaheen Count has a relationship with him. His cousin is now the hostess of the Shaheen family: "Rest assured, although this guy Hennard is silly, he still knows us very well. Northern Land is connected together, your Majesty is only using him, it is impossible to win him. Besides, the two of you at the end of last year were the ones who wiped out the Territory Aristocrat(s) of Fakal Dukedom, and throbbed your anger. I It is estimated that Your Majesty's idea of hitting Territory Aristocrat(s) is also inspired by the two of you ... "
Count Felim is speechless. At the end of last year, migrant refugees swooped on Territory Aristocrat(s) of Falkell Dukedom. It did do something innocent, but Lorist was very persuasive: "You don't understand our dilemma at that time, and you want your Majesty to only give us Fifteen thousand people for 15 days, but want to make so many refugees move to Windbury King City? Is it possible to not sweep out those Aristocrat(s) Territory where to eat and wear. And we help His Majesty clean up the instability factors of Faker Dukedom, Save him the trouble of doing it by himself. He doesn't thank us for being furious. How can this be true ... "
Duke Kenmays and Count Felim are both laughing together, that is, Lorist. Second Highness is also considered to be very good, but it always suffers when encountering Lorist. Even the remaining three with the four Northern Land alliances took a lot of advantage from Second Highness.
Lorist is actually upset, why did Second Highness dismiss those Aristocrat(s) coalition forces, but did not let themselves return to Northern Land, and it is also well-known to let itself preside over the affairs of the front line. They all adopt a strategy of stalemate. What else is on the front line? What matters? It is impossible to have a big fight in the future. Just keep the Handra Dukedom defensive position offensive to the Fierce Tiger Ross. Why do you leave yourself here to bask in the sun ...
Lorist felt like I had fallen into the big pit I dug this time. If I wanted to stay here for two years, I felt a kind of life-threatening death. However, seeing that Grand Duke Fisablen was also left on the front line by Second Highness, I felt more psychologically balanced. It ’s the same for all people. It ’s painful to be alone. It ’s a joy to see someone unlucky with you.
Think about Lorist's thought that Second Highness's arrangement for himself and Grand Duke Fisablen is really interesting. If you put two people back to the family Territory, maybe Lorist will have the idea of Fisablen Family again. This is also no way, who is called Northern Land all over the world is such a target that can be bullied. And Fisablen Family already and Second Highness are so close, Lorist does not want to have such a threatening force next to the family Territory, and will never hesitate when it can be suppressed.
Although Second Highness is hostile to the four alliances of Northern Land, he is far away, and as a King, he has to measure. It is impossible to directly tear his face and Norton Family. So Lorist is clever even if Second Highness suffers. As long as you do n’t let Second Highness get the handle, it ’s okay for anyone to take him. In addition, Second Highness must worry about the strength of Norton Family. Even if you want to turn your face, you have to think about whether you can eat or not ...
Second Highness now forcibly keeps Lorist and Grand Duke Fisablen on the front line to prevent them from returning to the family Territory, and also gives them discretionary decision. If not, they will both be allowed to stop. Do n’t give up the family Territory idea once. Are you inward? Now the kingdom is in the final battle against the central four Dukedom. Second Highness does not want any ups and downs between Norton Family and Fisablen Family, so as not to affect the battle situation on the front line.
You all go to Handra Dukedom, and stay under my eyelids, don't make any moths. It seems that Second Highness knows very well that although the four alliances of Fisablen Family and Northern Land have signed an armistice agreement, with Grand Duke Fisablen surrendering to him and Fisablen Family's strong support for him already annoyed Lorist, whoever will be the Norton homeowner will not allow Second Highness and Fisablen Family formed a pinch on Norton Family, one east and one west. As long as there is a chance, Lorist will definitely not let go of Fisablen Family. As for the armistice agreement, just tear it up, and you will never worry about finding a good excuse to start the war.
If you only keep Lorist and not Grand Duke Fisablen, then Lorist will definitely not be at the front line with peace of mind. Maybe you will take the family armed forces and say goodbye. If only Grand Duke Fisablen and Lorist are left, then Grand Duke Fisablen will not be able to stay here with peace of mind. Perhaps after a while, I heard that Fisablen Family Territory was uprooted by Lorist. Therefore, we can only rest assured that both people stay on the front line, and we can restrain each other. This should be the calculation of Second Highness. He stayed in the summer palace of Pedro City himself, and he could effectively restrain the two from conflicts and conflicts.
Second Highness A few days after they left, Duke Kenmays and Count Felim will also leave Lorist. They had a good heart. They gave their family armed forces directly to the Lorist commander, and then loaded it lightly. One was going to deploy the Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce business network in the eight newly-occupied provinces. One was going back to the southern province to urge the development of the family Territory. Anyway, Second Highness has no requirements for them to be forced on the front line, and it is also very assured to hand over their family armed forces to Lorist. Don't worry about becoming cannon fodder. As Count Kenmays said, we are one family, and you can rest assured to give it to your commander ...
Well, they feel bored as soon as they leave Lorist. Although Count Felim said that they would rush back in two months, Lorist still feels boring and simply put their minds on the three defensive positions tossing Handra Dukedom. Isn't it that their trebuchets are powerful and powerful? They can use the principle of leverage, but trebles are not as far away as their own catapult. So Lorist found a group of craftsmen who made a dozen huge lever-type trebuchets, placed in front of the three defensive positions, threw stones from the mountain down to the mountain, and smashed directly to the defensive position on the hillside.
Lorist was too quiet, and the Second Highness in Pedro City was also shocked. Pegasus rushed to the front to watch the trebuchet. Lorist doesn't care about it. Don't look at the coarse giant trebuchet thrown far away, but it is not accurate at all, and it is cumbersome to operate. Each throw requires ten or so soldier(s) to pull the lever hard, and you need to assemble heavy boxes. Throwing stones is too slow ...
But Second Highness and Grand Duke Fisablen are already and they are shocked by Lorist. Such a simple trebuchet can be seen at a glance. A huge log frame, a tough long wood as a lever, hanging on the tail of the wooden shelf A weight box, the head of the lever is equipped with a leather pocket to put a stone the size of a human head. You can use a heavy weight box to lift the lever high, and then lift the stone with a heavy weight box. Tossed to a hillside defense position five or six hundred meters away ...
This is really an unexpected surprise for Second Highness. He happily asked Lorist if he could make more smashed defensive positions by such trebuchets, and then take the opportunity to capture the defensive positions of Yamaguchi?
Lorist shook his head, telling him directly that this thing was useless, look, the same size and weight of the same trebuchet thrown by the same trebuchet can be separated by a hundred or two hundred meters, no one can control the accuracy of the treble degree. So it's okay to harass the enemy with this stuff. Don't even think about using this position to occupy the position. It would be good luck to cause some casualties to the enemy.
Second Highness left, but before he left, he drew the pattern of this kind of leveraged sling. Lorist doesn't care. Anyway, Second Highness would be a joke if you want to use this toss to deal with Norton Family. This lever type trebuchet is huge and heavy, and it is extremely inconvenient to move. When his family's Bronze artillery appeared on the battlefield, this type of trebuchet could only be a good target for artillery fire.
Lorist regards this coarse giant trebuchet as a means of harassing the defense position, and does not pay much attention to the slinging effect. It can defend the Legion of the three Dukedom guards on the position. I do n’t know where the next stone will be thrown. The soldier(s) who entered the defensive position looked up at the sky every day, lest they did n’t know where to drop a stone and let their heads bloom ...
Thus, the three defending Legion generals discussed a way, and then used a successful night strike to break the alert and pay the dozen or so giant trebuchets. So Lorist was furious, and began to order the artisans to rush to make these trebuchets. They also paid for their own pockets as rewards, produced a giant trebuchet that was twice as large as before, and again harassed the defensive positions.
This time the throwing stone Lorist changed the pattern, instead of throwing those stones like human heads, but shattered the stones, a large bag of fists was thrown in the past like a rain of stones. Not fatal but smashed the defensive soldier(s) on the defensive position.
Several defensive Legions can't stay any longer, and they sneak down again. However, this time it hit an iron plate. Lorist quietly transferred the Chariot Ballista of the Flying Tiger Legion to ambush. A torrential rain of Ballista shooting caused heavy losses for the Legion sneak attack. Only a small number of smart points escaped. Back on the mountain.
Then Lorist was inspired by the kerosene carried by the soldier(s) who carried the attack down the mountain. He transported a large amount of kerosene from the rear and threw it in a clay pot. Then he threw stones on fire. There was a raging fire. It can also be considered that the defensive soldier(s) on the defensive position was properly prepared, and soon covered the oil and burning ground with sand, which did not allow Lorist to take the opportunity to successfully attack.
