Chapter 10 Under the Civil War of the Bulgars
"Oh God!"
The gate of the fortress was blasted open, and no one had the courage to resist anymore. The last soldiers under Count Simon either fled or were captured. No one could resist the enemy. And what Simon finally saw was
There was nothing but the rushing torrent.
…
…
…
"What are you talking about? The camp where Count Simon is stationed has been lost? I don't know whether I live or die, and now the position has completely fallen into the hands of the Sermium nobles? Damn the Yankees!"
The battalion received news early the next morning that the narrow strip of land between the Oglaz Mountaineering Area of Mercia and the Bellasisa Mountains in the direction they were building was completely lost overnight to the sudden attack of the Sermium noble army.
During the attack, everything happened so fast that they didn't react at all. What puzzled them was that there was obviously a big noble like Count Simon sitting there, and there were four or five people stationed there.
Thousands of people were defeated so easily, and less than half of them managed to escape.
It's such a shame that they didn't even have time to react. The always warlike Archduke Boril was so angry that his face turned purple, his burly and fat body swaying, and the other Palatona nobles also had pale faces.
It's not pretty. Before, they had only been confronting Ivan Asen's army around the kingdom's capital, Turnovo. Although there would be some friction in the market between the two sides, there had never been a fierce contest.
In fact, the nobles on both sides have a tacit understanding. They don't want to go too far in a military confrontation and are trying to transfer this civil war to the negotiation table. The stalemate so far is just to gain more favorable bargaining chips.
But now the situation is completely different - the Sermium nobles actually took the initiative to take over the key areas of the Oglaz Mountaineering Area and the Bellasisa Mountains. This is not a friction, but a real military operation. Pa
Latonavon directly lost a count, which means that it must have received permission from Grand Duke Ivan Asen in advance to do this.
Civil war is inevitable - to remain indifferent would be to fool ourselves and others.
"What a coward. I will definitely settle this debt with those Yankee sons of bitches!"
"Yes, it's so despicable to launch a sudden attack! These cunning Yankees!"
"We must avenge this, Your Highness Boril. We are now preparing to summon the army to take back the lost positions!"
"That's right, that's right!"
The excited Paladonnaon nobles petitioned for war one after another. They contemptuously called their political opponents, the Selmionites, Yankees, and felt that they would retaliate with a massive attack.
And Boril Asen, who was holding back his anger, had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He was warlike by nature and had been waiting for a clean contest with his cousin. He was fed up with this place.
Everything, I don’t want to waste time anymore, it’s time for a showdown with the other party.
Just when he was about to issue an order for the Palatina nobles around him to summon an army to fight back, a man's voice sounded at this moment.
"Grand Duke Boril, now is not the time! Have you forgotten my previous instructions to you?"
Outside the camp, a deep voice sounded, and the man slowly walked in from the outside. When the other nobles saw him, they suddenly showed awe-inspiring expressions.
"Sir Connaughtin, you are back."
"Lord Connotin, you finally came back to take charge of the overall situation. The Yankees are already ready to make a move..."
The nobles stood up one after another and spoke eagerly, not understanding why the newly returned adult in front of them was blocking them.
But Earl Connodine waved his hand and said: "I have already roughly understood what happened last night. You don't need to say it anymore. I came here just to discuss this matter with the Grand Duke." Looking at Bao Bao in front of him.
Lil Assen said solemnly, and there seemed to be a power in Count Connotin's words that instantly suppressed all other voices.
Seeing this, the other Palatina nobles had no choice but to keep their mouths shut. As for Boril Asen, as the Grand Duke of one person and more than ten thousand people, he seemed to be very respectful when he saw Connodine's arrival.
He gave up his previous plan to fight back and pushed away the others around him.
"Earl Connodine and I have important matters to discuss. Let's put the matter on hold for the time being. You should step aside first!"
"Yes, Your Highness."
As an important person among the nobles of Palatina, now that Earl Connodine has spoken, there is a high probability that the counterattack will not be followed up. The nobles who had been beaten to death just now had no choice but to hang their heads in despair.
I chose to quit.
After a while, only Earl Connotin and Boril Assen were left in the Grand Duke's tent.
"Uncle, why did you come back?" There was no one in private. Boril then changed his name and came forward to greet him affectionately. This is why Earl Connodine has a high status, because his sister is Kaloyan.
The former queen of the Tsar, and one of the heirs to the kingdom was his blood-related nephew. It can be said that this incompetent fool was able to compete equally with the talented Ivan Asen in the struggle under the cultivation of Connotin. So.
In ordinary matters of critical importance, Boril Assen cannot do without Connoldin's Prime Minister.
It's just that the civil war has been going on for three months, and the confrontation between the northern and southern nobles has not yet come to a resolution. Boril tried to force a war several times but was stopped by his uncle, and it was the same this time, which made him really
Can't understand.
"It's nothing, I'm just making some preparations. I heard that something happened last night. I was afraid that you would be reckless, so I rushed back overnight."
"But the pass between the Ograz mountaineering area and the Belasisa mountainous area is too important. Without it, the situation in Turnovo is already unstable. We must not leave the initiative on the battlefield to that boy Ivan.
Ah!" Although he was reckless and careless, Boril often accompanied the army in battles, and he still knew the importance of the terrain advantage. He could not agree with his uncle's still indifferent attitude.
But at this moment, Earl Connodine, who was silent at first, slowly replied: "Do you think Ivan doesn't know if you do this? You have fallen into his trap again. Now he wants to
