Chapter 766: Small and Medium-sized Camp
In the north of the Thousand River Valley, the Hematite Mountains are the natural geographical division line between the gravel root and the Thousand River Valley.
Including the Obsidian and Amethyst Mountains, the three mountains are all derivatives of the Longmian Mountains.
The entire Longmian Mountain Range is like a "chung" shape, with countless horizontal mountains extending from both sides of the longitudinal mountains.
Frost the furnace plateau in the north and falls into the black snake bay in the south.
Qianhe Valley can even be said to be a country built on the Longmian Mountains.
In the after autumn, under the bare Hematite Mountains that were gnawed by the flock of sheep, there should have been a half-yellow and half-green golden silk pasture.
This special grass and the thunderstorm climate unique to the northern gravel industry make the local sheep wool tough and grow.
Now, the grassland under the blue sky and clear water is gone, leaving only a piece of quagmire like alopecia areata.
It was the rapid flood that flooded the grassland depression.
It is conceivable that this pasture will surely flourish next year, but this year the sheep will go hungry.
The rapid flooding of water climbed up the river bank, spreading the yellow carpet, swallowing the fences and thatched houses.
In the golden sunset, it seems that yellow and black linen patches were applied to the green velvet cloth.
The air was filled with the smell of mud and fishy smell, and even the wind hitting the body was wet and cold.
In the Laden Castle Highland Camp, in addition to the fishy smell, there is also the smell of rust.
It comes from both the soldiers' rusted weapons and the soldiers' blood-stained bandages.
More than 12,000 combat soldiers and more than 10,000 civilians went to war.
At this moment, according to Andrei's statistics, there were only less than 8,000 soldiers left, and the civilians only had just over 4,000.
Although there are still defeated soldiers and remnants returning one after another, it is unlikely that more than eight thousand will be exceeded.
After the battle, the loss of nearly 40% of the soldiers was.
This was the result of Moriyati trying his best to stop the pursuers and preventing them from saving.
However, under the flood, Moriyati fought back several times, but failed to turn the defeat into victory.
Muriati, who had been in the Kingdom of Non and had the power to raise his head, was defeated like this.
To this day, there are still many people in the army who can't believe it.
That's the eldest daughter of Meliati. How could he lose if he says he loses?
"This defeat is not a crime of war." Andrey slapped heavily on the table, "The Duke of Wingschat was crazy and dared to dig the Innocent Dam and abandoned the people to ignore it. The Holy Father and Holy Lord will definitely punish him."
The hall that was originally noisy finally calmed down.
The officers and knights at all levels had both contempt and contempt in their eyes, but they had to listen to the flange's opinion.
After the flood in the salt flat, Andrei was the most thief, ran the fastest, and preserved his strength the most intact.
Later, this camp was established, and even more crazily annexed mercenaries, in the name of maintaining the organization.
At present, Andre actually pressed on the heads of these knights with the power of more than 4,000 soldiers.
Andre cleared his throat: "Everyone, according to the situation.
Due to the flood and several counterattacks of the autocratic Duke, the gravel plain will not continue to pursue it.
The lords of the southern valley and village community are at least enough for the Duke of the Wing Cun and the others to drink."
Disgusting Andre's character does not mean distrust of his ability.
Many of the Knights were relieved to hear Andre say this.
Since the collapse of the Innocent Dam, all their supplies were washed away by floods, and the muddy grasslands were even more difficult to move.
After walking along the way, these knights and nobles suffered all the hardships and finally got a rest overnight.
A mountain count stood up: "Hiss Andre, I'm just saying it's a plea. No matter how you say this battle, we lost.
We can't afford to lose, we just admit that we're just accepting the gambling, but what should we do after the disaster? There must be an explanation?"
Everyone knows what this mountain count means.
This battle has been fought like this, and it doesn’t make any sense to win. The biggest pot was also separated by the Duke of Wingchasm. Now everyone’s main purpose is how to wipe the rotten shit. "I'll just say it." Andrei looked around the people present, "We have two primary tasks, one is to protect the border. You don't have to fight for this, I'll take responsibility."
Who is fighting with you?
Instead, everyone calmed down and continued to stay in the gravel primordial field, fighting against the gravel primordial field against the flood?
Forget it, it’s better to go back to Hotam County earlier. "Do you have any objections?"
The crowd naturally shook their heads. They were all defeated soldiers, and only Andre maintained the organization. Who else can be there besides him? "Okay, the second thing is the war bonds." Andrey said, "I would like to remind you that we are not that wonderful in war bonds."
"You tell me the number."
Andre raised three fingers.
"Thirty thousand pounds?" a knight asked tentatively.
"Three thousand gold pounds, after this battle, in addition to losses and messy expenses, you can squeeze out at most three thousand gold pounds to pay bonds."
"This is less than one tenth. Have you really confirmed it?"
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Andre rolled his eyes to people: "You can check the accounts of dozens of old documents and accountants at any time.
Our trophy is either soaked in water or lost on the roadside. Now, even if you empty your family's assets, you can't afford to pay for bonds."
These mountain nobles fell silent, and they looked at each other, and an idea arose in their minds.
If you cannot resolve the debt, you can only solve the creditor.
"I know you can't afford it, and I can't afford it either." Andrei deliberately raised his voice to attract everyone's attention. "I have a way."
"What?"
"The master of the Holy Mechanic Court has the channels of the flange." Andrei slowed down his voice and lowered his tone. "He is willing to lend a helping hand to us. As long as the negotiation is completed, he will immediately come to Shangrifo County to meet us. What do you think?"
The nobles...
The scalps of the Holy Mechanic Court are all numb and their teeth are sore.
Whether it was the mountain nobles or the plain nobles, they all suffered a lot in Horn.
The core area under his rule was even more known as a country without a lord.
In the later period, whether it was the prevalence of the Holy Dao School or the establishment of a holy alliance with Black Snake Bay, the nobles strongly resisted it.
But on the other hand, the market has flourished.
The types of goods and transportation range have been greatly improved, the status of the nobles has declined, and their living standards have improved slightly.
This benefit makes them completely surrender to the Holy Grandson, not to mention it.
If this disadvantage makes them fight a civil war, it has not reached that level.
Every time the action is just right, and the autocratic public cooperates closely.
Every step of the sage grandson stepped on the prostate of the nobles, making them feel good and painful.
But after all, the mountain nobles were afraid and love Meliati, and Horn.
"Can we not meet each other? Let's take out the money and negotiate with Your Excellency Catherine. Maybe..." "Your Excellency Catherine is a neutral bank, and the senior partners of the Megdi Chamber of Commerce also want to make money." Andre shook his head, "The notice has been delivered, and you don't want to be angry when you see the Masao." The nobles looked at each other.
After this battle, they, who had a slightly superior military strength, were already on par with the Holy Mechanic Court.
Muriati, who could have fought against Horn, was seriously injured again, and only had a few hours of awakening every day.
At present, no one can shoulder the responsibility of gathering the will of aristocrats and defending the sleeping leader.
"Your Highness, when will the Patriarch arrive?"
