"These demons! These damn demons!" A woman holding a child cried helplessly in the crowded crowd. Chaos was everywhere in the eastern part of Mayne, and the rioters in Ferry City
Wherever he passed, there was a human tragedy.
Although they are few in number, the cavalry of Dukou City still possess huge lethality when facing civilians.
These dozens of cavalrymen rode their war horses past the edge of the crowd with strange screams, and used their riding whips to wave at the civilians who wanted to escape.
"Okay, okay! We have been living here for decades! You can't force us to leave our hometown!" An old man knelt down on the roadside, kowtowing and crying, hoping that the indifferent Dukou City soldiers
You can let their family go.
It was a pity that the soldiers who were eager to go back and share the spoils had no mercy on the old man. They just kicked him to the ground and let him roll down the roadbed and fell unconscious.
"Over there! There is a beautiful girl over there!" At the intersection of the village, several soldiers from Dukou City shouted to their companions as if they had discovered a new world.
And in the village, in a courtyard, a girl was desperately trying to stuff her son under the bed: "Don't come out! Don't come out! Don't move! Don't make any noise!"
The child looked at his mother with big curious eyes, and then his sight was blocked by the sheets that had been put down.
A few seconds later, the loud noise of someone kicking down the courtyard door came in, followed by a woman's hysterical shouting: "Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"
"Ah!" A soldier seemed to be in a hurry to commit murder but suffered a big loss from the sneak attack. He let out a scream, and then there was a sound of breaking things.
The little boy waited until there was no movement outside before he dared to lift the sheets and climb out of the bed. Then he saw his mother lying on the ground in disheveled clothes, staring at him with wide eyes.
He crawled over and pushed his mother hard, but her mother didn't move. He reached out and fiddled with his mother's hair, sat next to his mother, and let the blood stain his pants red.
.
Tragedies continued to spread in every corner of the eastern part of Mayne. Countless refugees who had escaped the disaster rushed to Mayne Castle, only to find that the black iron flag of the Eilanhir family of Seris City had been hung there.
…
In the battle of the eastern forest, Chris won a complete victory. He gathered more than 200 soldiers who came one after another, escorted more than 1,000 prisoners, and returned to Seris. The 2,000-strong army of Mayne City was on the front battlefield.
Being defeated, Chris got a big advantage.
There are almost 1,200 adult men, so that he can step up the development of his mines and increase his steel production. Similarly, because of these prisoners, when the troops of Seris City rushed into Mayne, they did not encounter any
resistance.
That afternoon, Chris led 50 cavalrymen to cross the eastern forest and regained the large border area occupied by Mayne.
Three days later, the messenger returned from Mayne City and brought good news to Chris: Waggron had occupied Mayne City, and Chris now owned two castles.
Because the difference in strength was too great, the battle in the eastern forest came and went faster. Mayne, as the first force to attack Chris, was wiped out in the blink of an eye.
Although we still don’t know the attitude of the Arant Empire, in fact, Chris has now become the master of two cities. Leading the escort along the way, Chris quickly arrived at Mayne, and saw the person he had been waiting for for a long time.
of Waggron.
"The situation is very bad! The lord of Ferry City, Berman, took advantage of the situation and swept away the eastern region of Mayne!" As soon as they met, Waggron reported bad news.
He had too few soldiers to risk abandoning Mayne Castle to stop the plundering of Ferry City.
Upon hearing the news, Chris, who was walking, suddenly stopped and looked at Wageron: "What's going on?"
"The Ferry City took advantage of the fire to rob and attack Mayne Castle...but I beat them first, so they retreated." Wagron explained: "But they took away the civilians in the east and took away everything they could.
thing."
"No matter how many things they destroyed, they have to pay back ten times!" Chris cursed angrily: "I didn't go to find trouble with him, but he came to my door! I'm looking for death!"
But he quickly suppressed his anger. Even if he wanted to raise troops to attack Dukou City, he still needed to be fully prepared.
Now he can mobilize very few troops. It is too risky to rely on two to three hundred men to attack Dukou City.
Continuing to walk, he walked to the study room used by Ensel, the lord of Mayne City, and sat behind Ensel's luxurious desk. Chris then ordered again: "Secure the civilians of Mayne first!"
After thinking for a while, he continued to order: "Spread the gold coins we brought! Let the civilians of Mayne accept the fact that they are ruled by us! Exempt them from some additional taxes."
It is not a simple matter to occupy a place, he must do every detail: "Post a notice and tell everyone that we have captured more than 1,000 Mayne soldiers, and they will serve in the mines for one year, and then they will
Will be released safely!"
Only by allowing the civilians of Mayne to accept his rule could he truly win the war: "The fallen soldiers of Mayne will be compensated with the money and silk seized from Mayne City!"
After arranging the work of occupying Mayne, he ordered Wageron: "Send people back to Seris and ask Deans to immediately put the facts in front of everyone and share the fruits of victory of the war with all the surrounding forces.
"
Chris raised his first finger and began to introduce his plan in detail: "On the one hand, we will immediately lower tariffs after the war ends and give the benefits to the other three forces. We will start selling woodworking machinery at low prices.
, even if the situation is urgent, we will not hesitate to give it away for free!"
After finishing speaking, he stretched out a second finger: "Distribute the gold coins we have reserved these days to all civilians! Seris and Mayne must be treated equally!"
Then he stretched out his third finger and continued: "Exempt Seris from agricultural taxes for one year, and provide agricultural subsidies! Stabilize the mood of the civilians and tell everyone that the war is over!..."
Having said this, he remembered another thing, looked at Wageron and said: "Reward all the soldiers in this battle, each one a gold coin! If the money in hand is not enough, wait until Des comes back with the money
Distribute!"
"Yes!" Waglun's face was filled with the joy of victory. He clenched his right fist and pressed it on his chest and nodded: "I'll do it right now!"
In fact, there are still many things for Chris to deal with in the follow-up, such as the important issue of conscription: he now has two castles, and his territory has almost doubled, so of course he needs more troops to garrison.
Now he is still in a passive state surrounded by enemies, so the required troops cannot be reduced at all: before expanding the army to 2,000 men was not enough, now he needs at least 3,000 men to defend all his land.
"It's really a headache." Chris sighed worriedly while looking at Ensel's luxurious study room.
He has now revealed his trump card. If he delays it for another month, the surrounding forces will almost all focus on him. At that time, it will be difficult to expand...
Therefore, he must solve the Dukou City side as soon as possible! As long as he can quickly solve the Dukou City side, he can reduce the pressure on one side and gather more troops to deal with threats from the other three directions.
An hour later, Chris formulated a new battle plan. He would gather all available soldiers from Serris and Mayne and immediately launch an attack on Ferry City.
"The first thing we have to do is to gather troops as quickly as possible, and then send the troops to Fukou City as quickly as possible." Chris drew up the basic combat policy with reference to the blitz warfare tactics of World War II.
.
Seris has 500 cavalry. These elite cavalry fighter jets are very powerful, and their advancement speed should be sufficient.
Waggron also felt that using cavalry to advance quickly was a very suitable tactic, so that they could save a lot of food and in disguise make the insufficient war supply reserves more sufficient.
"Basically there are no decent cavalry in Ferry City, and a hundred or ten people will not pose a threat to us at all." After finding a detailed map of Ferry City from Mayne's castle, Waggron began to introduce the opponent's situation in detail.
The situation comes.
Although there was no detailed battle plan, as the original army commander of Seris City, Waggron still dutifully understood the military deployment of the surrounding forces.
This gave Chris a more intuitive reference: Ferry City's armament was severely biased, with even fewer cavalry than Mayne, but they had about 1,200 infantry and 700 navy.
Of course, attacking the ferry from Mayne does not require taking the sea, so the 700-man navy is basically not a threat. The only thing left to deal with is the 1,200-man infantry.
After hearing these introductions, Chris formulated a plan that seemed relatively feasible. He ordered Waggron to lead 300 cavalry to quickly assemble on the border, and then sweep away the scattered border troops in Fukou City.
As long as Waggron can eliminate about 200 infantrymen from Dukou City, or annihilate those incompetent Ferry cavalry, he can almost force the opponent to give up the field battle and retreat across the board towards Dukou City.
"Once the opponent gives up the field battle!" Chris pointed to a small water glass placed at the back, symbolizing his own cannon: "I will personally lead the main force and carry all 20 cannons to the ferry city!"
