Chapter 561 The Hicks Corps that took the initiative to attack
Chapter 561: The Hicks Army takes the initiative
"...What are these Breault Mountain monkeys doing? Why don't they leave today?" Baron Huntlick was very unhappy. He had stayed up for a few more days to send these Breault cannon fodder to London.
The mission of handing Woyoke County over to the Solem Standing Army has been completed. After this victory over the overseas autonomous territory of the Overas Kingdom, he will be rewarded based on his merits. He has no credit but also hard work, and maybe he will be rewarded.
Can be promoted to the first level.
Everything was going well at first, but when they were outside the city of St. Cyprian in the royal capital, the reward originally scheduled to be given by His Majesty King Melchid III to the Breault Kingdom's Mountain Legion seemed to have changed. The cash reward was gone, and the sumptuous meal was gone.
No more. All the soldiers of the Breault Mountain Corps were given were only two cups of ale and a piece of bacon that weighed one kilogram and was as hard as a stone. As a result, morale plummeted, and the speed suddenly slowed down after leaving Wang Jing.
, it took three days to arrive in Dartmouth County, and now I am looking for excuses to stay still...
"This morning I saw the cavalry of the reconnaissance camp leaving the camp. I asked a lieutenant guarding the camp gate where they were going. The lieutenant said angrily that they probably wanted to go out and buy some fresh meat. Haha, it's so funny. We
His Majesty actually rewarded these mountain monkeys with bacon stored more than 20 years ago. These mountain monkeys do not have such good teeth to chew these dried bacon..." Another reserve officer Hicks said
I made a joke, hoping to make the Baron happy. These ten or so people are all the younger brothers of Baron Hentrick.
Baron Hentlik also had a smile on his face. He didn't think there was anything wrong with Majid III reducing the rewards given to the monkeys on Mount Breault. On the contrary, these monkeys got the hard piece of dried bacon.
The confused expression at the end was ridiculous. He saw with his own eyes a soldier trying to take a bite of bacon, and a big tooth immediately broke out. Whenever he thought of this scene, Baron Huntlick would always laugh unconsciously.
Come.
"I heard that these Breout Mountain monkeys have been trying their best to deal with this piece of dried bacon in the past two days. Even soaking it in water and roasting it is useless. The cooks even broke two kitchen knives. So it is understandable that they want to eat the meat.
Yes, after all, you will be greedy if you eat black bread every day." Another local official told the truth. Although the Kingdom of Hicks is responsible for the food and grass supply of the Breault Mountain Legion, all that is really delivered are black bread and fruits.
It was dry and there was very little meat. Even the Hicks officers who were escorting them had to send their own followers to buy food for them.
"At noon, we went to find General Baker together and told him that only when we reach the destination will the logistics supply become normal and ensure that their food is the same as that of our kingdom's standing army. Now we are only two counties away from the front line, and we have to get it as soon as possible.
After sending these mountain monkeys over, we can go back after completing our mission. We don't need to suffer with these mountain monkeys anymore." Baron Huntlick made a decision. No matter what, we must let these mountain monkeys get on the road as soon as possible. We can't do this anymore.
The delay continues...
"Sir, General Baker's adjutant came to you just now and said that General Baker would treat everyone to a roast lamb for lunch..." Baron Huntrick's personal entourage came into the tent to report.
Well, Baron Huntlick still admits that Baker, the commander of the Breault Mountain Monkey Army, is a very good aristocratic general, knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and most importantly, he is very generous and wealthy. After nearly half a month of this journey, General Baker
He has hosted several banquets for Hicks officials like them. They get along very well when it comes to romance, but it's a pity that he is a Breault, otherwise Baron Huntrick would have made a good relationship with him...
.
At noon, the camp was filled with the aroma of roasting sheep. When Baron Huntrick and his party walked towards the tent, they were shocked to find that these Breault Mountain monkeys were roasting sheep. He looked carefully and saw that there were almost one
The squadron was assigned a roast sheep, which is really a big deal. Because the Breault Mountain Corps has a total of more than 70,000 people, and a squadron of about 50 people needs at least 1,400 to 5,000 sheep to purchase.
It costs a lot of money.
There were two grills in front of the big tent, with two lambs being roasted on each one. The soldier in charge of roasting the lambs was brushing seasonings on the lambs with a large copper basin. Baron Huntlick smelled the aroma and said these things
The Sri Lankan official suddenly had a great appetite. He took a silver plate from the table next to him and asked the soldier who was roasting the lamb to point to the place he liked and cut off the roasted lamb.
"It tastes good." Baron Huntrick chewed the mutton in his mouth and praised General Baker who was sitting in the tent: "I didn't expect you to get so many sheep, just let these soldiers eat them all."
Roasting lamb is too wasteful. In fact, you don’t need to use roasted lamb to improve morale. It’s good to make them some lamb soup.”
For Baron Hentrick, soldiers are cannon fodder in his eyes. Roast lamb is simply the greatest waste for people who will soon go to the battlefield to die. Being able to fill their bellies is the greatest favor to them, and
There is no need to waste money to satisfy the soldiers' requirements for eating meat. If it were him, he would give a sheep to each battalion, add more water, and cook the mutton soup for the soldiers to soak in black bread and eat it. It would be enough...
General Baker raised his glass and took a sip with a smile: "Luckily, all the sheep from the pastures and farms in the nearby towns have been brought to the camp. Don't worry, more than 5,000 sheep are enough for our entire army to eat roasted lamb for three meals."
....."
Only then did Baron Huntlick remember that Dartmouth County, where the Breault Mountain Corps is currently located, was a famous pastoral county in the Hicks Kingdom. The Dartmouth sheep produced were large and meaty, easy to breed, and had always been a favorite among people in the Wangjing area.
One of the meats. Most farms have flocks of more than a hundred Mausi sheep, not to mention those pastures that specialize in raising Mausi sheep. There are 1,800 sheep. No wonder the reconnaissance camp went out in the morning
In one trip, they brought in about 5,000 woolly sheep.
"You must have spent a lot of money. You are really generous. You bought more than 5,000 sheep and gave them to the soldiers for a feast. If this continues, even if you have a golden mountain at home, you will ruin it." Heng
Baron Trilick felt unworthy of General Baker's generosity. He swallowed the mutton and stepped forward to pick up the wine glass in front of General Baker and drink it down in one gulp.
"Haha," General Baker smiled and poured some fruit wine into the wine glass in Baron Huntrick's hand: "We didn't spend any money, these more than 5,000 sheep were confiscated by us under the order..."
A violent coughing sound sounded. Baron Huntrick choked half to death on the fruit wine he had just poured into his mouth. He finally stopped coughing and pointed at General Baker in surprise: "You, what did you say? I was ordered to collect? Who,
Who gave you the order?"
"Of course it is our King Avitli I. He wrote to me and said that according to the agreement reached between him and your King Melchid III, the logistics of food, grass, horses and materials required by our First Mountain Legion for this journey
The supplies of materials are all provided by your Kingdom of Hicks, including meat, eggs, fresh vegetables and fruits. It is a pity that all you have provided us during this half-month trip is black bread and some dried fruit. By the way,
There is also a piece of dried bacon that is harder than iron stone. This can be regarded as a reward from your king.
So after I reported the situation, His Majesty the King gave us a decision to collect military supplies on the spot. Our soldiers were very happy with the order issued by His Majesty and executed it perfectly. You see,
In addition to these more than 5,000 woolly sheep, we have also collected a lot of useful materials. We have to admit that the people of the Hicks Kingdom have lofty patriotism. After knowing that we are here to help you fight, they
He even donated his own wealth to support my military expenses..."
General Baker opened a large wooden box next to him, which contained most of the box's gold and silver coins and some gold and silver products, such as silver candlesticks, gold cups, dinner plates, etc. Baron Huntrick even saw a blood-stained
Gold tooth, obviously the owner of this gold tooth does not seem to be so willing to donate the gold tooth, otherwise he would at least wash away the blood stains.
"Bang!" The gold wine glass and silver dinner plate in Baron Huntrick's hand fell to the ground. He was speechless and pointed at General Baker, who was tasting the roast lamb with a smile on his face: "You, you...
.How dare you confiscate military supplies within our kingdom..."
General Baker looked puzzled: "Why not? Since you are unwilling to give it to us, then we will collect it ourselves. This is very normal..."
That's normal! Baron Hentlik was in despair. It was no longer a question of whether he could complete the escort mission, but that the Breault Mountain Legion actually committed a rebellious act under his nose! This was
It is simply a slap in the face of the Hicks Kingdom, the dominant power in the North! When will a vassal country army that comes to help the war requisition supplies on the spot in the Hicks Kingdom? This is the biggest insult to the Hicks Kingdom.
!
Not to mention anything else, Dartmouth County is adjacent to the Wangjing area. Most of the pastures and farms in this large pastoral county are in the name of the kingdom's nobles. God knows, these Breault Mountain monkeys went out for a walk in the morning and collected taxes.
He had purchased so much military supplies and forced ranchers, farm managers and others to donate property, which had offended many nobles of the kingdom. This was not only a heinous crime committed by these mountain monkeys, but it had also implicated him, the officer in charge of the escort.
Already.
"You, you are finished! Do you know how big a crime you have committed? This is not your legion's business, this will even affect your Breault Kingdom! The only thing you can do now is to immediately provide these requisitioned materials.
The owners should pay satisfactory compensation and immediately send troops to the front line, so maybe you can save your life..." Baron Hentlick cursed angrily.
"Don't be angry, it's not a big deal." General Baker waved his hand lightly: "Go to the front line? No, we are not leaving. Since the people of Dartmouth County are so hospitable, then our Breault First Mountain Regiment will not leave either.
We will live up to their good intentions. We will be stationed here to protect them from enemy aggression and persecution, and set up defensive fronts on the spot. If the troops from the overseas autonomous military region break through your frontline defense, then we will greet the enemy here
The arrival..."
Baron Huntlick feels like his head is a little dizzy. What do you mean? Baker, the mountain monkey general, has decided not to leave. He wants to stay here and continue to harm the people of Dartmouth County. What kind of defensive front should be set up here? This place is far from the front line.
There are still two local counties. Who are you setting up a defensive line to defend against? Isn't this a blatant rebellion?
"How dare you..." Baron Huntlick pointed at General Baker and was speechless.
"Why don't I dare?" A murderous intent appeared on General Baker's face: "Dear Baron Huntrick, you'd better enjoy this delicious roast lamb dinner, because this is the last meal of your life.
.You guys have been gesticulating and being arrogant enough along the way. Did you see those dozen gallows over there? They were prepared for you..."
On October 16th, King Hicks came to the capital city of St. Cyprian.
The majestic and majestic Royal Court of Hicks resounded with the throat-breaking curses of the King of Hicks Kingdom, Melchid III. This respected Majesty had been cursing continuously for nearly half an hour. Standing in the royal court
All the ministers and nobles present lowered their heads and listened silently to His Majesty the King's shrew-like scolding.
Because they received news this morning that the two mountain regiments from the Kingdom of Breault that came for reinforcements could not stand the harsh supply treatment they received from the Kingdom of Hicks. They both raised the flag of rebellion and robbed Dartmouth County.
, the euphemistic name is to collect military supplies on the spot, and is not willing to continue to the front line. Instead, it builds a defensive front in Dartmouth County and prepares to garrison on the spot. The other one is rushing towards Wang Jing, and it is said that he is preparing to come and plunder the rich.
Wangjing area.
Melchid III was angrily preparing to launch a new war against the Kingdom of Breault immediately after the war. He swore that as long as this attack by the Overseas Dominion Military District was defeated, he would immediately declare war on the Kingdom of Breault. This time
We must gather a large army to crush the Breault Kingdom and destroy this ungrateful and rebellious kingdom.
How kind and sincere he was to the Kingdom of Breault, and he helped them free of charge when they were in crisis and in urgent need of assistance. It turned out that these monkeys in the Breault Mountains were all wolf cubs with white eyes and a heartless heart, and they actually found themselves in Hicks
At the most critical moment of the kingdom, he raised the flag of rebellion. He must crush these rebellions and reduce them to ashes, not sparing any of them...
"Your Majesty, let's first think about how to deal with these two rebellious Breault Mountain Legions..." General Philimos, the head of the Kingdom's Army Department, helplessly interrupted Melchid III's ramblings.
He knew very well that if His Majesty the King continued to curse, it might be two hours before we could talk about business...
"Send troops and wipe out all these rebels! Tell our brave soldiers to take no prisoners in this battle, and hang all the ones caught alive!" Melchid III roared to his ministers and generals and made the decision.
Making the decision to send troops is very simple, but the problem is where to send troops, and there is not enough time. General Phillimos is very fortunate that the Breault First Mountain Corps in Dartmouth County is stationed on the spot.
, did not look back and rushed towards Wang Jing. This was probably because the commander of the First Mountain Corps got dizzy after eating mutton, and did not expect to join up with the Second Mountain Corps who came after him, and even gave Hicks
A great fighter that divides the kingdom and defeats it.
King Melchid III personally ordered the Solai Standing Corps stationed in York County to destroy the Breault First Mountain Corps in Dartmouth County. The senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Department were very confident that Solai
The Mu Standing Army is one of the most powerful standing armies in the Kingdom of Hicks, and has repeatedly contributed to the expansion of the Kingdom.
It is easy to deal with a Breault Mountain Monkey Legion. Especially since the two Breault Kingdom Monkey Legions are both mountain legions and are good at fighting in mountains. But the current terrain of Dartmouth County is plain pastures, grasslands, and mountains.
After the monkey has descended from the mountain, it still has no fighting power to speak of. I believe that the good news will come in less than three days.
The remaining second mountainous regiment of the hateful Breault Kingdom is said to be rushing towards the Wangjing area. Obviously they are very aware of the wealth of the Wangjing area. If they plunder here, the harvest will be comparable to that of the Hicks Kingdom.
Among the three local counties, it can be said that the Wangjing area is the essence of the Hicks Kingdom.
Almost all the ministers and nobles of the kingdom requested the Kingdom’s Ministry of War to take the initiative to send troops to meet the enemy, and the Breault Mountain Monkey Army must not be allowed to enter the Wangjing area. It can be said that the ministers and nobles of the kingdom have purchased properties in the Wangjing area.
They will never allow their property to fall into the hands of these damn Breault Mountain monkeys and suffer huge losses...
After several considerations, General Phillimus, the head of the Kingdom's Army Department, failed to respond to the kindness and urging of his colleagues, and finally decided to let the Iron Guards left behind in Saint-Hyprian City in the Kingdom take the initiative to attack and eliminate the Breault Mountain Monkey Army. Do
The Iron Guards Corps, which is the Royal Guards of the Hicks Royal Family, is just like the Royal Guards Corps of the Overas Kingdom. It is known as the most powerful army in the Hicks Kingdom, and it is no problem to deal with the Breault Mountain Monkey Legion.
What troubled the senior officers of the Kingdom's Army Department was that because the victory was within their grasp, the nobles and royal children in Wang Jingli who claimed to be brave and brave were eager to join the army and asked to join the attack with their private armed forces.
The private armed forces of these nobles are almost equivalent to a division when they are assembled. General Philimos originally wanted to reduce the number of Iron Guards divisions to be sent out and replace them with a division composed of the private armed forces of the nobles, but he was worried about this.
The aristocratic private armed divisions were not very reliable, so they simply asked King Medid III to let them attack together. The worst case scenario was to let the Iron Guards defeat the Breault Mountain Monkey Legion, and then let the noble private armed divisions pursue them and beat up the drowned dogs.
I think they must be very good at it...
On October 19th, the Sollem Standing Corps stationed in Renwall Yorkshire arrived in Dartmouth County. After resting for three hours, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, they launched an attack on the position defended by the Breault Kingdom's 1st Mountain Corps. There was a fierce battle.
At two o'clock in the evening, they finally retreated due to heavy casualties.
At ten o'clock in the morning on October 20, the Iron Guards and the private armed forces of the nobles were attacked by light cavalry from the Thunder and Storm Legions while marching in the Wangjing area. The entire army was defeated and suffered heavy casualties. The Storm Legion besieged Wang Jingsheng at five o'clock in the evening.
Hyprian City, successfully broke through and captured Wang Jing at eight o'clock in the evening.
On the same day, the 1st Breteau Mountain Corps in Dartmouth County launched a counterattack at 11 a.m. and surrounded and annihilated the Solem Standing Army of the Kingdom of Hicks at around 3 p.m.
