Chapter 0242: Under Discussion
On the twentieth day of Lei Ye's occupation of Aoba Town, Viscount Sinclair's envoy came to the city, and the other party obviously did not come to negotiate, but said indifferent threats, something like: If you don't withdraw your troops, you will destroy your whole family.
Then Lei Ye ordered the cavalry to capture this person into the city, as the saying goes, the two countries do not fight each other, so they only broke each other's limbs, tied them to the horse and let them go.
Before coming, I didn't ask who Lei Ye was, is Lei Ye a good talker and a well-behaved master?
Viscount Sinclair's actions angered Viscount Sinclair completely, but he knew that the Chesterton family alone would not be able to drive them away, so he immediately asked the surrounding lords for help.
The replies from the lords from all over the country were quickly delivered to him, and everyone said: You can clean up the you pulled yourself.
At the same time, they hope that the two families will maintain restraint, do not use swords and soldiers, try their best to negotiate peace, contribute to the peace of Nanhuang County, and contribute to the future generations of the kingdom.
The many hypocritical replies have been collected with only one meaning: it's about me.
Viscount Sinclair shuddered when he saw these replies: "Damn bastard, when I defeat Heidi's slut, I'll clean you up one by one." ”
When the New Year was approaching, Renard did not receive a New Year's gift, and only Zhang Zhanshu arrived.
No matter what the cause of the war is, no matter who is right and who is wrong in this incident, even if you want to sprinkle lime powder in the eyes of your opponent during a duel, you must first pay tribute to each other according to the tradition of the nobility, so the war book should be written.
Renard opened the war book, only to see that hundreds of words were written in it, and the content was easy to guess, nothing more than putting all the blame on the Meredith family, and then describing himself as an innocent victim.
The letter also stated that the glorious Viscount Sinclair was leading an army of more than 3,000 men to kill the town of Aoba in an unstoppable manner, and the people praised his military appearance and supported his righteous deeds, and then voluntarily joined the crusade army.
Considering the principle of good neighborliness and friendship, Viscount Sinclair hoped that everyone would not make indifferent resistance, obediently offer tens of thousands of gold coins in compensation, and withdraw from the occupied town of Aoba.
Of course, if everyone is determined to resist, the army of 6,000 will slaughter them completely.
When Lei Ye saw this set of numbers, he couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, who would believe that the Chesterton family, with a total population of less than 40,000, could make up an army of 6,000?
Even if an army of 6,000 is really raised, it can only be with farmers as the main force, how much combat effectiveness can such an army have?
He tore the war letter full of lies into shreds, glanced at Ford and the others, and said: "The war is about to begin, so this time it should be regarded as a real combat exercise." ”
Lei Ye has never taken these clowns in his eyes, he is just training now: "Pay attention to the lightness, don't play to death directly, let everyone go up and practice." ”
At noon that day, Viscount Sinclair led thousands of people to the town of Aoba, and he had written very clearly in the war book that there were 500 cavalry, 800 infantry, 2,000 mercenaries, and 3,000 farmers, totaling more than 6,300 people.
Standing at the head of the wall and counting, there were about three thousand men, less than two hundred regulars, and the rest were mercenaries and farmers with nervous faces, and it took them a full forty minutes to clean up the formation.
It wasn't until Lei Ye and the others were about to get impatient that this team barely looked a little presentable.
Immediately afterwards, Viscount Sinclair rode out in a row, stretched his neck and shouted: "Cowards from the county of Meredith, are you frightened by my army, why don't you dare to come out to fight in a dignified manner, what is it to cower in the city?"
Lei Ye was sitting in a rocking chair and drinking tea, and almost laughed when he heard this, if he had just ordered an attack, the other party would have been defeated on all fronts.
Who gave him the courage to say big things here now?
Renard waved his hand in boredom: "I'm upset when I hear it, let him get out of here." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, two infantrymen drew their bows and arrows.
"Whoosh!
After two arrows, Viscount Sinclair immediately fell from his horse, and he was not hit, but was frightened by the sound of the arrow.
Seeing this, there was immediately a burst of laughter on the city wall, and then even suppressed laughter was heard from the opposite position.
Viscount Sinclair was suddenly angry, jumped to his feet and scolded: "Don't laugh, don't laugh at all, whoever laughs will kill whoever laughs." ”
As he spoke, he looked in the direction of the city with hatred, and said fiercely: "You will wait for my army to break through this town, and then you will die without a place to bury." ”
Before he could finish speaking, two rattling arrows shot at Viscount Sinclair again, nailing them straight to the upper of his shoes.
He was stunned, and it took him a long time to react, so he took off his shoes, climbed on his horse in embarrassment, and rushed towards his team.
After wasting so much time, the war finally began.
Hundreds of peasants rushed to the city with their heads and ploughs, carrying ladders, and without any orders, the infantry began to shoot with their bows and arrows.
However, these people are not good at shooting, and the hit rate is not even 2 percent, so as long as they are not particularly lucky, these farmers can always rush to the city.
Seeing this, Renard sighed, and then instructed Henry: "After I go back, let everyone practice shooting targets, and if you can't reach a 30 percent hit rate within 30 meters, I will deduct his salary." ”
As he spoke, many of the peasants had already climbed the city wall along the ladder.
However, these guys are the opponents of middle-level martial artists, and they were thrown off the city wall almost without resistance, but fortunately, the city wall is not high, only about four meters, and the most fatal ones are broken bones.
Of course, there are also those who are unlucky, and when they meet an irascible opponent, they are directly cut to the ground by the long sword.
Renard turned a blind eye to this, since he is an enemy, he must treat everyone equally, and he cannot distinguish between good and evil, strong and weak, otherwise there will be no rules in this world.
After the loss of dozens of people, the farmers began to be timid, and then they began to flee without knowing who led the way.
Viscount Sinclair trembled with anger when he saw this: "Damn stupid pigs, waste, garbage, ......"
He vented for a long time, and then organized two "death squads".
One of them continued to attack the eastern wall, while the other went straight to the southern wall.
Renard couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, feeling sad for the other party's innocence.
The rest of the scene was similar to the previous one, thousands of farmers were killed, hundreds of them were killed, and the rest crawled back with their belts.
This time, Viscount Sinclair was not as merciful as he was just now, and directly swung his sword and killed several of the fastest farmers.
Seeing this, the rest of the peasants no longer dared to run into the ranks, but quickly ran out of the battlefield.
Viscount Sinclair shouted angrily, "You damned stupid pigs, all come back to me." ”
