Chapter 0543: Siege and Plunder the Land
At this time, Renard had already received the news from Viscount Neil, and was very surprised by his efficiency, but at the same time felt that it was reasonable.
More than 100,000 troops are pressing the border, and it would be ridiculous for the other party to resist again.
He shook the note in front of the officers, and said with a smile: "I thought Count Kevin was a tough guy similar to Count Eliot, but I didn't expect to give in so easily." β
The crowd laughed as he could, and Cliffor said disdainfully, "What are we doing with this garbage, it is better to just overthrow them and give a warning to those recalcitrant lords." β
Ray Dawang glanced at this reckless man, and said in an indifferent tone: "More than 20,000 soldiers represent more than 20,000 families, you killed them, how do the common people of Kale County think of us?"
"The Governor wants to take the Cabbage County into his pocket, these are future subjects, and if you can fight for it, you have to fight for it as much as you can. β
Cliver pursed his lips, knowing that what he said was reasonable, so he didn't refute it, but he was still not convinced.
Henry knew his old friend's temper very well, patted the other party's shoulder, and explained with a smile: "Although the garrison of Kale County is not elite, it is still possible to stay as a defender of the city with a little training. β
"The purpose of our expedition this time is to defeat the Creighton family, and at the same time occupy the cities along the way, we can't always occupy one place and leave a thousand eight people to defend the city, so how many more can we have in the end?"
Henry had already seen through Lei Ye's intentions, and said it at this time.
Then he added: "And how dare you guarantee that there are no malleable talents among the more than 20,000 soldiers, if you dare to guarantee it, you can wait until the army is expanded later, you can not beat their attention." β
Hearing this, Cleaver was dumbfounded, and muttered, "I'm just telling them a lesson, rubbing their arrogance......"
His voice grew low, and finally disappeared completely.
Renard ignored them and walked to the map, looking at the colorful patterns marked with flowers, and couldn't help but sigh.
The army was attacked from three sides, aiming at Fort Creighton, located in the very center of Kale County, passing through countless towns and villages along the way, and it is unknown how many innocent people will die in the war, and how many people's homes will be destroyed.
The king didn't care about that, he just wanted the final victory.
However, as the future manager of Kale County, Renard has to fight for these hundreds
Surname is considered.
After a moment of silence, he walked over to the table and began to write, sprinkling hundreds of words on the paper.
After writing the letter, he put his own seal, put the letter paper in the envelope, sealed it with fire paint, and stamped the precepts, so that a secret letter to the king is completed.
He handed the letter to Robert and instructed: "Send it to His Majesty, and deliver it to him himself." β
The content on the letter paper is actually very simple, it is nothing more than asking the king to tell his subordinates not to harm the village.
For Renard, writing this letter is just a gesture, but he doesn't know how many innocent people he wants to save.
Three days later, an army of more than 20,000 "bandits" marched towards the city of GΓΌell under the leadership of Earl Kevin.
Viscount Neil and Tracy are naturally on each other's side, and the purpose is very simple, that is, to monitor each other, and this wall grass in the province is on the verge of turning back.
More than 2,000 heavy cavalry of the Second Cavalry Division followed the rear of the army, and the two sides maintained a distance of four or five hundred meters.
Count Kevin naturally knew the other party's intentions, and although he was dissatisfied in his heart, there was no expression on his face.
He knew very well that he did not have the full trust of the other party now, and when he took Quill City, he would be able to get rid of this prisoner-like life.
At the same time as the "bandits" army was dispatched, the coalition army led by Lei Ye had already divided into six routes and pulled out seven small cities in a row.
The richness and prosperity of Kale County are really beyond Lei Ye's expectations, and you can casually encounter a city with a population of more than 10,000 here.
You must know that in the entire territory of Nanhuang County, there are less than 50 cities with a population of more than 10,000.
According to this ratio, the population of Kale County is probably between three million and five million, which is the most populous county in Arthur's kingdom.
This strengthened Lei Ye's determination to take this place, and what he lacked most now was population.
After the roar of artillery fire, a white flag was raised at the head of the city in the distance.
As he rode on his horse, he felt bored and complained, "When will our cavalry regiment come in handy?"
Renard smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's useful to you." β
Robert whispered to Cleaver: "General, don't worry, we just got the information that the Creighton family has gathered heavy troops and is ready to counterattack." β
Hearing this, Cliffor swept away the decadence just now, and the golden light in his eyes burst out: "Really?"
Robert glanced at Lei Ye and saw that the other party didn't mean to blame, so he mustered up the courage and nodded: "I'm afraid that a big war will break out in a short time." β
When Cliffor received an exact answer, his face burst into laughter, and his mind was full of scenes of himself charging into battle.
In the later stages of the war, there will definitely be a decisive battle, but whether the cavalry can play or not is a matter of two things.
Although the Creighton family gathered heavy troops, they chose to garrison in the city, and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack at all.
The Marquis of Sidney is not stupid, now the king's army is in full swing, although he has more than 40,000 troops under his command, but compared with the king's army of 60,000, the number is really much worse.
Besides, there is also the evil star Lei Ye next to him, so even if he wants to take the initiative, he must consider it carefully.
The white flag was raised, the gates opened, and Colliver led the cavalry divisions to swarm in.
By the time Lei Ye entered the city, the cavalry had completely controlled the entire city.
The citizens were driven back to their homes, the city defenders were guarded in the central square, and the lords stood tremblingly beside Colliver, waiting for their fate.
Renard approached the viscount, who was about sixty years old, and asked in a cold voice, "You should know how to explain this to the citizens, right?"
Hearing this, the lord hurriedly nodded: "This knight lord just said that there are bandits and bandits who have infiltrated the city, and the governor is here to suppress the bandits. β
Renard nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, that's it, hurry up and make an announcement, make sure everyone knows." β
The lord nodded again, tremblingly picked up the pen and paper he had prepared in advance, and began to write the lord's announcement.
Then this ridiculous announcement was plastered all over the streets and alleys of the city, and even circulated in the hands of citizens.
What's even more ridiculous is that these citizens actually believe it.
That's right, just believe.
Renard couldn't help but think of the saying: The people can make it, but they can't make it known.
Arthur's kingdom's foolish policy is very good!
