Chapter 424 The Decision of Two Grand Duke(s)s
The wooden raft that was originally inserted in the trench was used as a partition. Before the water came, already was pulled up to form a solid wooden bridge over the trench. If the defending Forund Duchy generals knew that the idea of using wooden platoons to divide the trenches was nothing more than a heavy armored soldier's brainpower, he would not know if he would spit blood. Second Highness ordered the soldier(s) goalkeepers who occupied the frontier positions to transport these wooden platoons just to let them build the simple camp camps stationed at night. It also meant that when the waterlogged trenches were demolished, they were quickly used to build wooden bridges across the trenches.
A White Lion Legion Great Captain who was ordered to be stationed had a headache looking at the ditch that extends in all directions. The situation at the time was that it was offensive during the day and defensive at night. Great Captain believes that if these trenches are not blocked, even if a temporary camp is set up with wooden rafts, it will still be unavoidable to be attacked by the earth rat(s)s of Dukedom. If you pour some oil and fire on the rocket, everyone can spend a sleepless blazing fire. It's night. But Second Highness's order was clear, and no move to block ditch traffic was allowed.
Although this Great Captain did not know that Second Highness was about to implement a flooded trench, he still did not want his soldier(s) to lose their lives in the night attack. During the distress, the Mid Captain(s) and Squad Leader members were convened to discuss any good ways to deal with the night attacks and sneak attacks of the Dukedom local tyrants. Just as a large group of people scratched their heads and scratched their heads, there was a warning soldier(s) standing next to it, and the width of these wooden rows was similar to the width of the trenches. Why not insert the wooden rows in the trenches as a partition?
Great Captain is overjoyed. After the reward, ask how did soldier(s) come up with this idea? This soldier(s) was embarrassed to say that he had a problem when carrying these wooden rafts, and was shocked by the horses that were hauling the wooden rafts. As a result, the wooden rafts fell into the trench, and it took a long time to pull them up again. So Squad Leader punished him for keeping him on guard. Just now Great Captain brought so many Mid Captain(s) Squad Leader to inspect the position to discuss how to deal with the night raids of Dukedom earth rat(s). He remembered the strenuous effort to pull the wooden rafts into the trench, and some of them were stuck in the trench, so he inserted such a sentence.
This is the tactic of wooden platoons that made the Forund Duchy generals in the defense feel a headache and a lot of pressure, so that they ignored the water attack that threatened the trench defense position the most. If they are not confused, as long as the scouting investigation is strengthened, they will find out what the Second Highness is thinking. After all, whether it is the Lorist recruiting the poor to build a small reservoir or digging a trench up to four or five miles in length, this is not a small action. No matter how strict precautions can be detected. Unfortunately, they were all distorted by this platoon tactic.
The sky already was bright, and along the flooded trench White Lion Legion, the soldier(s)s already successfully arrived at the place where Forund Duchy Second Defense Legion was going to launch a counterattack last night, where they captured more than 10,000 lost souls and drenched. The second defensive Legion soldier(s) survived. These soldier(s)s are almost empty-handed. Even with weapons, they have lost their resistance. Their already was frightened by the sudden sudden water in the early hours of the morning, especially those who were drowned. The companion corpse in the trench is just in front of him. The boundary between life and death is above and below, and the distance is only half a meter ...
Received the Second Highness report, Lorist and Grand Duke Fisablen both arrived here with already, everyone was surprised when facing the big ditch full of dead bodies. Even if they were flooded, they only thought that the Dukedom earth rat(s) would be rushed to the ground, but drowning nearly 10,000 soldier(s) was an unexpected result.
But when I heard the report that Forund Duchy's second defensive Legion was ready to distribute a big counterattack in the early hours of the night, everyone suddenly realized that this was a misunderstanding. They could only blame the enemy for their backs, and they just put water on their side. Eight of the ditch squares that have now turned into ponds. Nearly 20,000 guarded soldier(s)s, except for one ditch square, had a slightly higher terrain and escaped, and nearly half of soldier(s) was drowned. The worst thing is the ditch Legion chapter Sanshiro Viscount where the ditch, where three thousand soldier(s) only escaped 524.
The body of Sanskro Viscount who committed suicide and fell into water already was salvaged. In order to show condolences and respect, Second Highness ordered to prepare a good coffin for the enemy's commander to be returned to him in the future. Loved ones there. Now White Lion Legion and soldier(s) are still searching for survivors at the several trench squares and are preparing to organize the captured guard soldier(s) to salvage the bodies of the drowned.
Four camps full of wooden rows of carriage s in Daying have stumbled on a wooden row constructed of two wooden rows side by side, and there are many soldier(s) beside them repairing wooden rows A gap in the road to prevent the carriage wheels carrying heavy objects from sinking. These wooden rafts will be sent to the front to continue to extend this wooden tract to the distance ...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty ..." A White Lion Legion captain hurriedly hurried to a Knight(s) ceremony: "The water stopped in front ..."
"Well? What's going on?" Second Highness asked.
"Looking back, the ditch in front has come to an end, water already no longer flows forward, and some low-lying places have begun to overflow. According to scout investigation, the front of this ditch area is an open flat land. It is three miles wide, but in the past it was a large ditch defense position. "Captain Qian replied.
Oh, everyone understands that the ditch defense zone set by Forund Duchy is not connected to each other or that there is not enough time and energy to dig traffic. It is also possible that the flat land was used for training or force build-up.
"Let's take a look." Second Highness waved his horse whips and urged the horse to move along the wooden raft road, and others such as Lorist and Grand Duke Fisablen followed.
"What should we do?" Second Highness asked after watching the position.
"Oh, digging trenches is still connected, but we have to close the small reservoir first, so that the positions we occupy will not turn into swamps. We will continue to attack the front positions. Waiting for the trenches to dig the water and put it in that position is equivalent to It fell into our hands. But now that the enemy is prepared, it is impossible to see the scene of drowning nearly 10,000 people like last night. "Lorist answered with a smile.
"Haha ..." Grand Duke Fisablen cracked his mouth: "They used to dig trenches and built so many earth walls, but now they are busy pushing down the earth walls to fill the trenches to prevent them from being flooded. .I had known what else to do, and it was ridiculous to think of it in vain! I believe they now regret it too ... haha ... "
Everyone present laughed. The changes in the world are really wonderful. The attacking side was desperately filling the trench, and the defensive Forund Duchy was desperately digging the trench. Now it ’s all the other way round. The attacking side dug the trench to divert water, but the defending side had to fill the trench to set up a water line. The conversion between offense and defense was really ridiculous.
Second Highness nodded: "Okay, just do that. Duke Kenmays, let the two Heavy Armor Corpss of your family continue to cooperate with the White Lion Legion to attack the trench defense front in the afternoon, and first occupy the dozen trenches in front. Right, you guys The Heavy Armor Corps soldier(s) family ’s wooden platoons cut off the ditch to deal with those Dukedom earth rat(s) roaming in the ditch is very effective, and it is worth a lot of rewards ... "
Duke Kenmays's face with a smile on her face: "Of course, I have been instructed by already to write down the soldier(s), and the family will promote and reuse it."
Second Highness nodded to the Imperial Guard around him and continued to order: "Order the logistics to speed up the delivery of materials and wooden platoons, while soldier(s)s attack the trench defense area in front of them, while establishing temporary camps in this open space, Prepare White Lion Legion and Heavy Armor Corps for a rest break. At the same time, we must strengthen our defense to prevent the enemy from mobilizing forces to fight back against us. "
"Observe, Your Majesty."
...
Grand Duke Forando stared for a long time in front of this hundred-year-old vicissitudes of the palace-style castle with moss on the corner. This is a family castle built by his ancestors for seventeen years, named the summer palace. In the Krissen Empire era, the Summer Palace was one of the ten most famous palaces of Empire. He has lived here since he was a child, his figure and laughter are left in every corner and hidden place of the Summer Palace and its affiliated castles and gardens ...
"His Royal Highness, we should go ..." reminded Imperial Guard Leader beside him.
Grand Duke Forando took back his reluctant gaze and sighed: "I must be the most unsuccessful descendant of the Fulundo family, and I will give up the up to two or three hundred years family Territory and glory and go to Handra Dukedom for refuge. If my ancestors knew If they do, they will swear and growl at me in the country of War God. "
"No, Your Highness, I don't blame you. You can only blame the King of Andinak Kingdom. It's too cunning. It actually flooded the trench defense line we set up, so that the trenches we ’ve dug out of our country have lost their barrier. The role of the enemy ... "Imperial Guard Leader felt that he was really clumsy and obviously wanted to comfort Grand Duke Forando, but he didn't know where to go.
Grand Duke Forando smiled bitterly: "Riquel, don't say it, now everyone knows that we spent three months to recruit all the leaders of Dukedom to dig so many trenches to defend already. It became a big joke. I didn't expect that a simple water attack would cost us all our efforts? Unfortunately, Sanskro, he should understand that I would not blame him for this idea of digging trenches. He You should n’t have committed suicide. "
"His Royal Highness ..."
Grand Duke Forando waved his hand, signaled that his Imperial Guard Leader should not speak, turned and looked at the summer palace that became empty and quiet, and there was no former people coming and going, and he sighed again, took back his nostalgic eyes, and said to his Imperial Guard Leader: "Come on, Riquel, I don't know if I can return to this summer palace built by my ancestors in my lifetime ..."
Out of the gate of the Summer Palace, step on the white horse waiting at the early already, and heard a rapid hooves sound, a Imperial Guard Pegasus arrived and jumped off the horse kneel down on one knee in front of Grand Duke Forando's horse: "His Royal Highness, Noble Ori Lord(s) refused to lead the mountain Legion to retreat to Handra Dukedom. He asked me to tell His Highness that in the hilly mountains of Pedro, the army of Andinak Kingdom could not help the mountain Legion. He said he was determined to continue the resistance and guerrillas in the hilly mountains of Pedro. All the leaders of Dukedom know that His Highness has not given up on them, and Legion of Dukedom is still resisting the attack of the enemy ... "
Grand Duke Forando didn't seem to accidentally wave their hands and signaled to come up to Imperial Guard of Reported: "I'm not surprised that Nouri has this kind of mood. Forget it, it will be winter in ten days, Second Highness wants to attack According to the mountain Legion in the hills and mountains of Pedro, it is impossible. Even next year, Nouri will have enough space for him to deal with, and the mountain Legion has sufficient armaments and supplies, and he will be withdrawn to Handra Dukedom within a few battles. He is If you are not convinced, let him go. "
"Riquel, has anyone else left?" Grand Duke Forando turned and asked his Imperial Guard Leader.
"Yes, Your Royal Highness." Imperial Guard Leader reverently replied: "The first prince was the first group to carry the family members and guard the first Legion seven days before departure. Second Prince and Great Sword Master Rimad Lord(s) with the third Legion in front of them Kud Town is waiting to meet with His Royal Highness. Now we have Imperial Guard of our brigade in the city. "
"Okay, let's go. By the way, is there a messenger from Belias?"
"No, was n’t Belia Lord(s) sending a messenger yesterday? He said that he could only hold on for two more days. The Andinak Kingdom's soldiers were unstoppable. The fifth Legion formed by the various town defense teams was fundamental. It ca n’t resist the enemy ’s attack, causing heavy casualties. Belias Lord(s) adopted the military law of the Overseer and harsh company to suppress the soldier(s) ’s attempt to escape. So he hopes that you leave Pedro City and go to Handra Dukedom ... ”
Grand Duke Forando shook his head with a bitter smile: "Okay, Riquel, let's go. Just hope Beliyas can come back safely ..."
Out of the gate of the castle is the central street of Pedro City, the capital of Dukedom. With the echo of the horseshoe, more and more city residents began to gather on both sides of the central street. Now everyone is already knows that Andinak Kingdom's army is about to enter the city. It used to take three months for the Forund Duchy leader to dig and proud of the trench A defensive position cannot stop the enemy's attack at all. Almost every day for the past 20 days, there have been urgent letters sent for help. In order to avoid harming the people of Pedro City, Grand Duke Forando decided to give up holding on to the city and go to Handra Dukedom.
Some residents gathered on both sides of the street began to wipe tears. The atmosphere in the crowd was extremely depressing and desolate. More residents just silently watched the departure of Grand Duke Forando and his Imperial Guard ...
When approaching the south gate of Pedro City, Grand Duke Forando finally pulled the reins and stopped the mount under him. A fat figure emerged from the crowd on the right side of the street and came to mount of Grand Duke Forando.
Grand Duke Forando smiled and nodded at this 50-year-old Fatty: "Maritt, my friend, this city will be handed over to you after I leave. I hope you can keep the net worth of this city's residents Safe and hope to see you again in the near future. "
"My Highness, I will do my best." This Fatty called Marrit answered with a bow. He is a businessman who has dealt with Snow Salt Chamber of Commerce and also visited Duke Kenmays. Grand Duke Forando asked him to surrender on behalf of the city's residents to the army from Andinak Kingdom, hoping to maintain the military discipline will not hurt the residents of Pedro City.
"Maritt, two-thirds of the grain reserves are left in the warehouse area behind the Summer Palace. You can take Andinak Kingdom's army to receive it." Grand Duke Forando said.
Marritt hesitated: "His Highness Grand Duke(s), are you ...?"
Grand Duke Forando smiled bitterly: "Maritt, the Andinak Kingdom attacked a force of up to 300,000 people. If they did not get enough grain, they would plunder Dukedom farmers. With these grain reserves, they would not be right Our leaders at Dukedom have caused great harm ... "
Maritt bowed again: "Thank you, Your Highness Grand Duke(s)."
...
At the same time, the two suburbs of Fakkur Grand Duke(s) were filled with blood red in the southern suburbs of Fakmer Dukedom's capital, Flemish City: "Why do n’t you already get out of here? Burned into white ground! I will never allow that **** Second Highness to enter my city and my palace! Burn, burn it quickly! "
The wind helped the fire, and soon the entire city of Flemish was caught in a sea of fire. Tens of thousands of residents who were driven out of the city were crying as they watched the burning home ...
Fakal Grand Duke(s) turned the horse head indifferently and ordered: "Let ’s go to Handra Dukedom. We still have a large army at hand, wait for Handra Dukedom and then slowly compete with that abominable Second Highness. We want to destroy our central Dukedom Not so easy! "
