King’s Kingdom

Moreover, although their hearts are extremely sad, the hatred is not strong, because this is war, it is normal for you to kill me and I to kill you, although the nobles have always been captured after they are usually not executed, but A ransom will be held, but that is an option, not a coercion.

Besides, I had already said before that if you surrender and do not kill, you will die if you resist, and you will be punished by a blood eagle, but her husband still chooses to resist, and being executed is logically normal.

And it was said before that the blood eagle would be executed, but now it is just beheading, which is already considered the king of Lanyin to be generous and kind.

Of course, what really kept them from having too much hatred was because of fear.

The cruel life of Theodosius is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that everyone knows that he is a person who cherishes his people, but for those who dare to resist and oppose him, all five are punished with the most cruel punishment.

It's just that the official who embezzled two silver crescent coins was first skinned by King Lan Yin, then executed the blood eagle while he was still alive, and then hung it on the railing to expose the corpse. The rumor is basically known to everyone.

What's more, he has a division of tens of thousands of tigers and wolves, an army of steel, and he will become a small address family with only 1,500 acres of land. Although he still retains the title of title, he has no army and The right to levy taxes, what resistance?

Under such circumstances, he still dares to hate his own king, isn't that courting death? Under this disparity, they did not want or dare to have too much hatred for Theodosius.

Theodosius was very happy that he took the castle without a single shot, and beheading Baron Winton did not affect his mood in any way.

After the soldiers entered the main fort, they carefully swept through it, and after eliminating all risks, Theodosius and a group of generals and Beauliet Khan were stationed in.

At the position of the enemy's main force, before the food information was sent back, this was the place where the army was stationed. It was conservatively estimated that they would stay here for at least ten days and a half months, so Theodosius ordered people to clean up. In other words, the quality of life has to be improved.

The long march really made him miss the life in New Lanyin City. Now he lives in Fort Andonia. Although the environment and facilities are incomparable, at least this is a fixed house, not a kind of marching tent.

Although his tent is the most luxurious as a king, no matter how good it is, it can't change the fact that it is just a tent. From time to time, a small wind blows in, and from time to time, the voices of the soldiers can be heard laughing. There is no privacy at all. I can feel it.

Now living in the room that once belonged to Baron Winton, he can finally rest well.

A large pot of hot water was brought in by Vico, and Theodosius took off his clothes and lay in comfortably. After a long march, he never had the chance to take a hot bath like this. Now he lay in. , a sense of comfort from the heart arises spontaneously.

In addition to Theodosius, the generals and knights of the various military districts, and the 4,800 soldiers of the Central Military District also lived in.

The scale of Fort Andonia is not as large as that of Longjian Fort, and the space is much smaller. There are not so many people that can be stationed there. There are only more than 2,000 people who can be allocated rooms or military camps, and the rest can only live in Warehouses, stables, these places.

But even this kind of place is much better than the marching tent, and the soldiers still like it.

July 1, 869 in the Hilkati calendar.

Theodosius received the first military newspaper from the cavalry of the steppe.

"We found a rallying point for the enemy army. There have been more than 1,000 regular troops and more than 2,000 peasant soldiers. Their position is..."

The educational level of these prairie light cavalry is really worrying, and Theodosius also demanded that the military report must be word-for-word and not have any revisions, so most of the reports sent are not logically strong, and the writing is relatively rough.

However, this is the best way to ensure the authenticity of the information, so as to avoid the occurrence of outrageous distortions after layers of reporting and polishing.

As time passed, more than a dozen military newspapers were delivered to Theodosius within three days, and the form of the enemy's rear gradually became clear in his mind.

Of course, this was only five or six days ago. It took time for the light cavalry to send the kid here, but something is better than nothing. In comparison, the Northern Empire probably doesn’t know anything about the situation on its own side. Yes, that's a huge advantage.

"The enemy's main force is gathering, what are you going to do?" Borret Khan naturally received the news, after all, those light cavalry were his people.

"For now, let's hold back and see how they choose!" Theodosius replied after thinking for a while.

However, in fact, his heart is still inclined to take the initiative to attack, but taking the initiative to attack also means that he loses the terrain and strategic advantages of Fort Andonia, although he can also attack their grain road nodes or strategic points to force the enemy. Assembling to come for a decisive battle, but to lengthen the supply line and increase the risk, so he can only choose to continue to wait here.

"..."

"Okay, you are the commander of this battle, I'll listen to you!" Borete Khan nodded, although he also had some objections, but he didn't say it clearly, it was harmless anyway, just follow him.

At this time, the army of the Northern Empire is still being assembled, which is another drawback of the feudal system, that is, it is too laborious to gather all the troops~www.wuxiaspot.com~ After receiving the Lanyin Kingdom, I will have to choose It has been more than two months since the war began and preparations began. However, the assembled army was only over 40,000 people. This is the 30,000-strong man that Tambadri has mastered.

After receiving the assembly order, the lords of various places have to call on their vassals, and they can only respond to the call of these nobles when the lower nobles have assembled the retinues and levies of the knights.

This stage alone will take five or six days. After all, it is quite laborious to recruit troops to march. After the assembly is completed, they have to take a sparse army to the assembly point of the superior lord, because the road is long or short, this is It will take another ten days.

After spending more than 20 days to assemble the army, he will take the army to the imperial capital to assemble.

The lords in the north are fine, as long as they stay where they are or find a nearby rendezvous location, but the lords in the south are more difficult. It will take more than ten days to march in a relatively short distance, and a month away from the farther. Moreover, the delivery of the message also takes time.

Therefore, the Northern Empire has not been able to gather enough strength until now, and even the main force of the royal family is still waiting for the army of the lords in the imperial capital.
