Chapter 363 The first general of the Principality
When the Aivor retreated, many people were scared and collapsed.
Later, the Eagle Army chased and grabbed a lot of tongues.
So after interrogation, the situation at that time was restored, which made Lei Wen shook his head repeatedly, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
The core factor of the opponent's defeat, in the words of those prisoners, is:
"Do you know how big a shock this is for soldiers who have never been on the battlefield?!"
20,000 heavy cavalry, with iron hooves trampling on the ground, It was like a flood rushing out of the ground, almost carrying the power of nature.
The fear of being crushed into meat paste in the next second is definitely something that people who are not experienced personally cannot understand.
The Eagle Army was launched in full armor this time, in order to immediately enter the battle after being in place and catch the opponent off guard.
At first glance, it looks like a heavy cavalry.
But if you really have experience, you will find that it is not the case at all.
Apart from the real heavy horses in front of them, most war horses don’t even have burqas, let alone vests.
In terms of weapon configuration, real heavy cavalry must wear a cavalry rifle and a knight's sword, while ordinary infantry seem casual, long spears, swords and shields, or just crossbows on the butt of a horse, and there is very little equipment. .
And, after fighting for so long, the opponent should be very clear about the configuration of the troops in Lei Wen's hands, and knew that Lei Wen could not transform into a cavalry out of thin air.
After all, heavy cavalry and infantry wearing heavy armor and riding horses are completely different concepts.
Why can Lei Wen only gather 1,000 heavy riders?
Horse limited is one aspect, and horse riders also need long-term training.
Especially in inland agricultural provinces like Nord Province, most soldiers have no experience in riding horses and are trained from scratch. If they don’t have the ability to fight immediately without 3 or 5 years.
Just this time, although Lei Wen rushed forward quickly, there were actually many people who fell behind during the process. Many soldiers tied themselves to the horse with ropes to avoid falling. "It's okay if you don't understand, don't you understand the nobles who are leading you?"
The hyena asked as she interrogated the captives.
The prisoner's answer was also very direct: "They ran the fastest!"
"Of course, there were also people who were scared, but their knights, The nobles all had horses, so the horses took them away and they broke their own lineup. "
Although the answer was a bit nonsensical, after listening to it, Lei Wen basically guessed the other party's overall overall Mind journey.
The moment he saw his 20,000 troops, the other party was stunned. Most of the ordinary soldiers were frightened, and the grassroots nobles and knights were in panic, ushering in the first wave of chaos.
But their chief generals had no experience in war and failed to restrain the team at the first time, resulting in an unstoppable collapse.
In that situation, it is indeed not easy for people to calm down and think.
After that the opponent's army retreated as a whole, it would be better explained.
The so-called three people became tigers, and the defeated soldiers shouted about 20,000 heavy cavalry, and the camp in the rear could not approach close to the investigation. From a distance, they saw that the 20,000 heavy cavalry were very similar.
Maybe they thought it was Molinier's reinforcements that arrived!
Qentin has never been very brave.
20,000 heavy riders, the plain terrain is really about to break open, and the camp is not completely safe-
The Chaofan took the lead and opened the wall of the village, and the heavy riders rushed in, and many people were no good.
Why do you want to fight in the field with 20,000 heavy cavalry on the plain?
Not to mention Quentin, Raven himself would not have such a big dream.
So, it is not surprising that retreat and evacuation occur one after another.
It can be seen that Quentin had thought about it when he retreated, otherwise he would not have set fire to his camp. "Sir, what should we do next? Will we continue to pursue?" asked the hyena.
Levin moved a little, but shook his head: "Don't chase after me, integrate the remaining camps, and then free up a few places to wait for Count Jonah to meet us."< br>
The opponent retreated, and the pursuit of the right-hand man can indeed expand the results of the battle.
But now that the soldiers are riding a horse for 6 consecutive days, the soldiers are exhausted seriously. Continuing to pursue, especially at night, may suffer a lot of losses, which is a bit more worthwhile.
Thinking of this, Lei Wen sighed with a pity.
The reason why he did not wait for Jonah and began to advance immediately as soon as the war horse arrived was to be able to kill and damage the opponent as much as possible in the Winter Spring Valley and further polish the opponent's strength.
From the war or the negotiation, there will be more confidence.
This time, although he won a great victory by accident and had a lot of materials seized, based on grain reserves alone, what was left in these camps was enough for Lei Wen to support him for another 2 and a half years.
But the killing of the opponent's personnel is quite limited.
Leiwen recalled what the woman named Q had said to him before.
Keynes XVI's words were really caring and warm, as if the two were really standing on the same front.
But Lei Wen knew one truth, that is, never talk about friendship with the emperor.
If I cannot subdue the Principality of Aivol and obtain the right of military pass within this year, then Keynes XVI, the "brother", will definitely not share the woe with me.
"Blue Castle..."
Lei Wen muttered these two words.
Is this royal capital of the Principal of Aivol really going to be chewed?
…
10 days later. "Come on, serve me some wine."
Blue Castle, the residence of the Grand Marshal.
Qentin sat in the dark study, the curtains blocked the sun, but the fireplace was burning, making the whole room stuffy and dark.
The clothes were wrinkled, the red face was covered with greasyness, and all kinds of overturned wine bottles were around her feet.
The remaining wine flowed all over the ground and evaporated under the smoke from the stove inside the house. While filling the air with the smell of wine, it also made the fluff on the carpet stick together.
The door opened, and a maid walked in carefully and brought a large vat of wine.
Although this kind of wine is not cheap and can be sold for 1.27 gold coins in one barrel, it seems to be unaware of it in the eyes of the Marshal.
But now, Quentin ignored all this, took the barrel, cursed and got out, bit off the barrel with his teeth and poured it into his mouth.
Dong.
The door was closed, and the sunlight that shot directly into the house was also isolated.
One bright and dark made Quentin's eyes ache. When his hands were loosened, the barrel rolled down and ran far away.
Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle...
Bright red wine flows on the ground.
Qentin just looked at it numbly:
"Will my head look like this when it falls?"
Since returning to Blue Castle, Quentin locked himself in the room and kept drinking.
He knew that he had a few good days.
The defeat of Boland City was also used by Earl Frank to take the blame; while the failure of Winter Springs Valley was beyond refusal.
"It's over, it's all over!"
Prime Minister Jiatugan has long been dissatisfied with Quentin, and Quentin killed Frank again. Now that he has lost two consecutive games, Gatugan will definitely make Quentin pay the price.
After the Battle of Winter Springs, Quentin returned to Blue Fort with the remaining nobles and troops, and slapped Evor VIII again.
So when Quentin returned to Blue Castle, he asked to see Evor VIII, but was turned away and he didn't even see his sister.
Inside and out, offended me!
That's why Quentin has this kind of behavior. He is drunk all day, hoping to pass the hard time before waiting for punishment.
But in a trance, he could always see that scene.
The court eunuch came to read out His Royal Highness’s will, depriving him of the title of Grand Marshal, and then the Katugen faction would turn out all the things he had done before and completely nail him to death!
What will happen? Hanging...or even more merciless beheading?
"Wait, you can't go in!"
"Mr. Marshal said, who would..."
Amid a quarrel.
Dong—
The door was kicked open and the Marquis of Aragon appeared in the room. "It's you." Quentin sighed, acting calmly:
"...It seems that your highness is preparing to publicly judge me."
"I'll go wash up, change my clothes, and I'll follow you."
Aragorn walked up to him: " Marshal, you should indeed change your clothes. After all, there is a great joy waiting for you! "
"I recognize what I have done." Quentin stood up shakingly. "But the decision we made to kill Frank was made together. Even if you don't watch coldly, you shouldn't humiliate me like this, right?"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!
"Ah? What?" Aragon was stunned, and then realized that Quentin had misunderstood and said loudly: "No, no, Marshal, you would have misunderstood!" "There is really a happy event. Now the cabinet meeting has been confirmed and you are responsible for the defense of the entire Blue Fort!" "Now, reinforcements and bans from all over the country come from the Blue Fort today." The Guards, City Defense Forces, and the mobilized militias, a total of 320,000 troops, are all commanded by you! ”
"Ah?" Quentin stood there in a daze and shook his head.
Did I not wake up yet?
Raise your wrist and slap it.
Bang.
It's crisp and loud, and the palms are still full of burning pain!
"Am I dreaming?"
Marquis Aragon covered his swollen face:
"No, really not!"
Qentin calmed down and walked to the room In the corner, wet the towel and wiped his face: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Aragorn also took the towel handed over by the maid and grinned his teeth on his face. Authentic:
"You have been staying at home these days, and I have missed too many!"
As Aragon tells, Quentin gradually went from confusion to doubt, from doubt to clarity, and finally couldn't help but hahaha Smile.
Fate is really fucking magic!
It turned out that after many nobles returned to Blue Castle, they took the initiative to attack before public opinion rose and began a propaganda offensive.
The core content is how powerful Lei Wen is.
In the mouths of these people, the battle in the Winter Spring Valley was not because they fled, but because they had a real bloody battle with Lei Wen!
The sky and earth are dark, the sun and the moon are gone, and even the law of creation is about to be erased.
Lei Wen is not only strong, but also has a very deep mind. He has 20,000 heavily armored cavalry under his command. His previous military configuration was all so-called smoke bombs.
This inevitably makes people wonder—
Levin is a baron. No matter how rich he is, how could he afford to support 20,000 heavy riders?
If you spend 20,000 heavy riders, you will need at least a few hundred or tens of millions of gold coins, and the annual maintenance cost will also start at 500,000.
This is not counting the military pay for full-time soldiers.
The answer is that these are all conspiracies of the Keynesian Empire. They are already ready to invade Ever, and Raven is just a cover!
How could Lei Wen hide the news from so many wars before?
The answer is that there is an insider.
It was the treacherous nobles led by Frank who helped Lei Wen cover up this secret for the sake of glory and wealth!
Why did Count Duduo die? Why did the Marquis Faraday die after being captured?
It was because they discovered the truth, and Lei Wen wanted to kill someone to silence him!
These two explanations are of course full of loopholes, but the aristocrats have made it the mainstream of public opinion.
Even if someone questions, he will be flooded by everyone's saliva-
Can you understand better than those hundreds of nobles who have been on the front line?
Since Lei Wen has 20,000 heavy cavalry and failed after the bloody battle, it is no surprise.
New problems arise.
Since Lei Wen is so powerful, why can these nobles come back with all their strength?
Because of the Principality of Evor, there is a genius who has never been revealed, a true war master, and a great man who has been brought down by gods to continue the life of the Principality—
Grand Marshal Quentin!
It is precisely because of his superb command and excellent overall view that Lei Wen was unable to swallow the soldiers of Winter Spring Valley in one fell swoop, causing the nobles to retreat to Blue Fort.
Previously, it was precisely because of Quentin's "meticulous" and "decisive and confident" that he immediately found out Frank, the traitor, and then led the troops to retreat in an orderly manner!
A bloody fact is-
Since Raven entered Aivor, Quentin was the only coach who could survive from Raven, and it was twice in a row!
Once was a coincidence, but two were still a coincidence?
So, now the entire Blue Castle has given Quentin a shining name:
"The No. 1 General of the Principality!"
In such a public opinion environment, Quentin's attitude of staying behind closed doors when he returned to Blue Castle was even interpreted as modesty, confidence, restraint, etc. Some even think that Quentin is making a plan to deal with Raven.
No one guessed that he was actually scared!
This twists and turns made Quentin feel the wonder of fate. After laughing, he asked, "Your Highness appointed me to command all the troops, will that old guy Katugen have no objection?"
"That old guy Now that he is in a state of great anxiety, he can't even save himself!" Aragon sneered: "There is always someone responsible for the defeat this time."
Qentin nodded slowly.
Since he, the original first responsible person, has become the hero and the first general of the principality, the person in charge can only be the Prime Minister Jiatugen, who made the decision to station troops in the Winter Spring Valley.
"Have you finished the solution to him?"
Aragorn shook his head: "Not yet, but it should be a matter of time."
Qentin frowned slightly.
Someone always has to do serious business.
If Gatugen had given up his pick and now the Blue Fort, which had gathered 320,000 troops, would be in chaos just by saying that.
But I thought so in my heart, and I couldn't say this on my lips: "I have to talk to His Majesty. Prime Minister Katugen has been doing his best for the Principality for so many years. I can't treat him too much because of temporary gains and losses. He was harsh. "
"The Marshal is so generous!"
After chatting a few more gossips, Quentin washed up briefly, put on new clothes, and came to Posa Palace.
The nobles had been waiting here for a long time, and they all praised Quentin one by one. Only Gatugen was so cold that he was too cold, and there was a hint of loneliness on his face.
Soon, Evor VIII appeared and announced in public that everyone present had already heard of the news. Quentin truly controlled a total of 320,000 troops in the entire city of Bolan.
Then it was an indispensable cocktail party.
The nobles became more and more enthusiastic, and Quentin was even a little busy.
Until Gatukan came to him.
Qentin thought Gattugen would say something harsh, and at least he would have to complain a few words.
Unexpectedly, Gatugen just toasted him with a glass of wine, and then patted his back: "For the Principality, take the burden."
Qentin opened his mouth, and his mood became It was inexplicably complicated and didn't know what to say, so I could only watch Katugen leave.
But at this time, Quentin didn't care much about it, because according to the procedure, it was time for him to toast His Highness the Grand Duke.
But before he could walk to Evor VIII, a palace eunuch suddenly came and said something in Evor VIII's ear.
The Grand Duke looked shocked and hurriedly left the hall.
Qentin frowned.
What happened?
