Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 388: Mountain Barbarian and gold mines
Chapter 388 Mountain Barbarian and gold mines
Boulder Castle, February 13th, meeting room on the second floor.
Lorist clicked on the family Territory map hanging on the wall with a slender wooden stick: "Everyone just heard about the situation of the Mountain Barbarian tribe introduced by the mayor of Doboff. Compared to the overall combat power, 100,000 Mountain Barbarian is not as good as a frontier ranger Legion commanded by Grand Duke Fisablen, which can cause us headaches. Regardless of organization or armament, our Norton Family armed forces has formed a rolling advantage over the Mountain Barbarian army already. We did not go to these Mountain Barbarian clans before The main reason is that they didn't go down to provoke us, the other is that we didn't have time to go up the mountain and hide and seek with them.
But now they are here. It is said that they are still more than 100,000 troops. Maybe they still think of us as those Northern Land Lord(s) and 100,000 Mountain Barbarian troops that were scattered in the past. They will think that they can carry out the armed forces parade in Northern Land. But for us now, they are a plate of dishes, and the fish meat delivered to the door. We should sharpen the sword in our hands and see where to start the slaughter. "
Lorist's statement caused a burst of laughter among the Knight(s) family members present. After the laughter subsided, Lorist continued: "I never put the threat of the Mountain Barbarian tribe in my eyes. This is not ignorance. I don't know Mountain Barbarian. The tribe's bottom line. On the contrary, Correct has this self-confidence because it knows too well, let alone a hundred thousand Mountain Barbarian army, it is another hundred thousand. In my eyes, they still cannot constitute a threat to our family.
From the Lancang River to the eastern part of Northern Land, the Territory border with Demonic Dragon Mountain Range is nearly a thousand miles away. If the Mountain Barbarian tribe invades Northern Land, we really have some difficulties to prevent. However, according to the historical documents recorded by the Mountain Barbarian tribe's invasion of Northern Land in the past century, there are only two regions that have actually been plundered and destroyed by the Mountain Barbarian tribe. One is our original family Territory, and the other is the eastern region of Northern Land. These two directions are the Mountain Barbarian tribe. Active and most frequent area.
Since Kenmays Family took control of the eastern part of Northern Land, the measures they took against the Mountain Barbarian tribe were one hand carrot and one big stick, set up trading points at the border, and opened a business that specializes in buying and selling with the Mountain Barbarian tribe, acquiring at a relatively fair price. The special products of the Mountain Barbarian tribe sell a variety of exquisite living materials, so that the Mountain Barbarian tribe can get the materials and commodities they need urgently without plundering. Then adopt the method of differentiation and separation, using commercial firms to sow the relationship between the Mountain Barbarian tribe, so that they are hostile to each other and cannot hold a group.
For those predatory Mountain Barbarian clans, they used other methods of hiring and buying to drive other Mountain Barbarian clans to attack them, to obtain the high rewards offered by Kenmays Family with the results, and at the same time dispatched the family armed forces. The Mountain Barbarian tribe chased after them, destroying them or forcing them to move elsewhere, so that they would no longer pose a threat to the eastern part of Northern Land. In such a short period of five or six years, the Northern Land tribe no longer had the Mountain Barbarian tribe downhill invasion, and the border was peaceful.
Facts show that Kenmays Family is very effective in the strategy adopted by the Mountain Barbarian tribe. Even the special products and medicinal materials of Molongshannai that are now traded by the Mountain Barbarian tribe and commercial banks, already has become a major input of Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce. This makes me have to admire the savvy and foresight of Kenmays Family business, it is indeed business Aristocratic Family.
But we Norton Family ca n’t learn from Kenmays Family this strategy to deal with the Mountain Barbarian tribe, because we do n’t have time, the Mountain Barbarian army is coming soon. I had the same opportunity before, but then we didn't focus on it. The family armed forces went to the west to discuss it. We were too busy with already.
The mayor of Doboff just introduced the situation of the Habibaba tribe adjacent to our family Territory. This is a large Mountain Barbarian tribe with a population of 2300,000. Its patriarch is Daqiang Basen, which is equivalent to our kingdom. Grand Duke(s) bits. He also ruled more than 20 vassal Mountain Barbarian tribe, and with the custom of Mountain Barbarian tribe all soldiers, sending more than 100,000 Mountain Barbarian troops was not a rumor.
Although there are also rumors in the eastern region of Northern Land that the Mountain Barbarian army is looting down the mountain, but basically those who came to trade tell us that Mountain Barbarian, and even those Mountain Barbarian spread this story as a story. Because there is no sphere of influence of the Habibaba tribe, the Mountain Barbarian tribe there has nothing to echo the idea of the Habibaba tribe, nor does it mobilize. From this point, we can conclude that the eastern part of Northern Land will not be ransacked by the Mountain Barbarian tribe this time. We must remain vigilant without being too nervous.
Northern Land eastern area to Boulder Castle, this area already developed Hongheyuan, but the area between Hongheyuan and Demonic Dragon Mountain Range is a continuous black forest zone. The vast black forest is a natural dividing line, Mountain Barbarian army It is impossible to make a breakthrough in this direction, unless they are willing to spend two or three months to open a path from the Black Forest. This is also the reason why the Mountain Barbarian tribe has never attacked the Honghe Plain in the past century.
Our family already developed the black mud swamp on the side of Territory. From Turtle Mountain Fort to Crouching Bull Mound Fort, we built a defensive city wall. Guards Legion third and fourth battalions are stationed there, and Twinhill Small Town is on this road. The front of the defensive wall. This direction is also the most convenient path for the Mountain Barbarian army to descend the mountain. The plunder of the Mountain Barbarian tribe encountered by the family Territory entered the Territory from here. Now with this city wall and perfect defense facilities, we have enough confidence to block the Mountain Barbarian army. Beyond the city walls.
If the Mountain Barbarian army is blocked by this defensive wall, it will definitely break through in another direction. Here, from Crouching Bull Mound Fort to Boulder Castle, there is nearly a hundred miles of Black Forest, but this is the edge of the Black Forest. The Mountain Barbarian army is most likely to break through here and directly enter Fengleyuan. Therefore, this area is the hunting ground of Flying Tiger Legion. All Mountain Barbarian from the Black Forest will be your prey. I don't want to hear the news that Mountain Barbarian troops came to Fengleyuan to attack various villages and towns ... "
Fierce Tiger Ross stood up and held his chest with his hands: "His Royal Highness, the Flying Tiger Legion will never let you down, we promise not to let a Mountain Barbarian leak."
Lorist nodded at him and motioned him to sit down: "I believe in your assurance, and I also believe in the fighting power of Flying Tiger Legion. This area is left to you. As for Angry Bear Knight Regiment of Terman, you move to Turtle Mountain Fort, After the defensive city walls blocked the Mountain Barbarian army's way, once you found the Mountain Barbarian army, you attacked from Turtle Mountain Fort, along the coast of the Lancang River to the back of the Mountain Barbarian army, and completely defeated the Mountain Barbarian army stranded in front of the defensive city walls. "
"Yes, Your Highness." Terman stood up and accepted the order.
Lorist also clicked on the Northern Land eastern area on the map with a long wooden stick: "I already ordered Waxima Knight(s) to temporarily act as the Hunting Cavalry Legion soldier Captain. This time Hunting Cavalry Legion was heavily damaged in the Muyeyuan Province attack, but the remaining soldier(s) can be reorganized. As a corps, this corps is responsible for the defense of the Northern Land tribe against the Mountain Barbarian tribe. As for all villages and towns in Fengleyuan, Xing'anyuan and Hongheyuan, after harvesting winter wheat in the rainy season, they will enter the state of secondary readiness and are in the process of At the same time as spring ploughing, we must step up combat readiness and form an emergency defensive brigade, ready to support the front line at any time. Charade Baron is responsible for this matter. "
Charade stood up: "Observe, Your Highness."
"Next is good news," Lorist once again clicked on the map of the family Territory with a wooden stick: "Here it is."
Lorist refers to the black forest area between Wollongong Fortress and Boulder Castle. Picking up a quill pen and dipping it in red ink, a red circle is drawn on this map: "Here is black In the hilly area of the forest, there is also a Daxi beach. The diagonal line is more than forty miles from Boulder Castle and more than thirty miles from Crouching Bull Mound Fort. After years of reconnaissance by the mayor of Doboff, it is determined that there is a large gold mine here. He took this The report was reported to the family.
However, the hill where this gold mine is located is currently entangled with a Mountain Barbarian tribe of 20,000 to 30,000. This Mountain Barbarian tribe called Varisingo is also a tributary tribe of the Habibaba tribe, that is, this time the Habibaba tribe Raise troops to invade our Norton Family Territory, and the Warrisingo tribe will also follow. Therefore, our purpose this time is not only to defeat the 100,000 Mountain Barbarian army, but also to take this opportunity to occupy the hills in this black forest and seize this gold mine.
Here, I would like to remind everyone that in this war against the Mountain Barbarian army, the family does not focus on how many merits are killed, but on the number of Mountain Barbarian prisoners captured by everyone. The reason for this is simple. The family lacks free labor. After the destruction of Madras Dukedom, more than 200,000 prisoners of war already who surrendered to us served two years of labor. This year is the third year and they will be free next year. The road traffic of Delamock Province and water conservancy construction already have been greatly improved by their hard work. This year, the task of more than 200,000 prisoners of war is to do some finishing work and complete the development of Delamock Province.
But we defeated Fisablen Family, got Windbury Province, and the southern provinces. These two provinces are awaiting new development. There are still many development and construction projects that require a lot of labor to build. Yu Wan, but there are still a large number of wounded soldiers, compared to the two provinces to do, this is not much labor.
Now the entire Northern Land has already as the Territory of our Norton Family. The most urgent thing is to re-plan and build all transportation facilities, so that the entire Northern Land transportation can be convenient and fast, shorten the mileage and schedule. We need free labor, and even if we occupy the gold mine, we need labor to dig. So if the Mountain Barbarian army has 100,000 this time, I hope to capture at least 60,000 Mountain Barbarian young and strong, to make their contribution to the development and construction of our family Territory. "
The soldiers Captain Golden Knight Doles of the Flying Tigers Legion Chariot Ballista Corps stood up: "His Royal Highness, is the Mountain Barbarian captured this time also free after serving three years?"
Lorist shook his head: "They are not the former Empire soldiers. Unlike us, these Mountain Barbarian will serve in our family Territory for eight to ten years, until they recognize our lifestyle and yearn to live in us. The family's Territory is willing to be naturalized as a leader of our family in order to be free, otherwise it will be a lifetime in the labor force. "
Doles breathed a sigh of relief: "His Royal Highness, so I can rest assured, I have been worried that if these Mountain Barbarians are also free after serving three years of labor, then where should we go to give the family prisoners a large number of free labor ! "
Everyone laughed at what Doles said.
Fierce Tiger Ross stood up and asked, "His Royal Highness, is our flying tiger Legion responsible for the hill where the gold mine is located?"
"No, you just help." Lorist pointed to Els and Reidy: "I originally planned to let Els and Reidy take over Hunting Cavalry Legion, but because of this gold mine, I decided to let them both lead the Imperial Guard camp as The main force of the attack, at the same time I transferred the 7th and 18th Battalion of the guard Legion, responsible for the defense of the hills after capturing the gold mine.
Flying Tiger Legion almost killed or killed a corps in a grand duel in the southern province at the end of last year, so this time I was responsible for the task I just gave you. This area between Crouching Bull Mound Fort and Boulder Castle sweeps all the black forest The Mountain Barbarian came out. As for the hill where the attacking gold mine is located, it was given to the Imperial Guard battalion led by Els and Reidy and two guard battalions. "
"Your Highness, I see." Fierce Tiger Ross sat down again.
"Although you are required to take as many captives as possible Mountain Barbarian for labor, it is not for you to take risks. The army of 100,000 Mountain Barbarian is not terrible, we can defeat them. But we must be careful that every Mountain Barbarian fighter is very brave And sturdy, even when outnumbered, they often fight to the end, proud of the battlefield. I also do not expect you to put the family soldier(s) in danger in order to capture the captives.
The best way to deal with these Mountain Barbarian fighters is to defeat the warriors among them, defeat them with a heads-up match, force them to drop their morale, and eventually lose their determination to resist to the end. Mountain Barbarian fighters have always worshiped the power, thinking that heads-up duel is the most sacred, they will not cast poison arrows in head-to-head duel. We can take advantage of this and use the victory of the heads-up match as a condition after surrounding the enemy. We surrender them and surrender them. If they win, we will release them. Only in this way can the Mountain Barbarian soldiers obediently become our captives.
The strategic deployment to deal with the invasion of the Mountain Barbarian tribe is such an arrangement, and if there is any need to change it, we will notify you separately. It's February, and I expect the Mountain Barbarian army to go down in May. There are still three months left. Winter is past the rainy season. After the rainy season, winter wheat and spring plowing are harvested. So when you go back, you need to take time to rest and train. If you need anything, you can submit a report to Charade Baron. He is responsible for the overall improvement of the logistics of the Mountain Barbarian army. "
After Lorist made the final summary report, this strategic preparation work meeting to deal with the Mountain Barbarian clan invasion was over, and everyone returned to their posts to start preparations. Lorist prepared a team of Imperial Guard and rushed to the eastern area of Northern Land. He was going to meet the disabled Hunting Cavalry Legion and the injured Joske and Yuri Captain.
