Chapter 1433: Capture Bright Moon City
Originally, according to the intention of the lord, he wanted to show off and coerce the main hall, after all, the main hall only had 400 cavalry, and the lord had 600 cavalry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the lord did not expect that these six hundred cavalry would arouse the jealousy of other city lords who belonged to the same camp.
As a result, with the support of these city lords, the main hall directly asked the lord for two hundred cavalry, and the lord agreed or refused.
Although each city lord is doing his own thing, he still belongs to the same lord under the same banner in name, and his blatant disobedience to the order may lead to a crusade against all the city lords of the same power.
In the end, the news of the young master's death just came, and the lord rushed back for this reason.
But the matter is not over yet, as the main hall sent a messenger to mourn, there is also an order to recover two hundred war horses.
The southeast peninsula lacks horses, and the two neighboring powers are even more short of horses.
The powerful attack power of the cavalry has made the war horse an important armament, and money cannot buy it on the southeast peninsula, so you can imagine how important two hundred war horses are to a force, and how difficult it is to decide the choice between these two hundred war horses.
"Alas, it seems that the war horse can only be handed over." The Bright Moon City Lord sighed and said.
His arms couldn't twist his thighs, and Fair knew that his lord's decision was right.
However, when he thought that he had exchanged the shipwright for war horses for nothing, and by virtue of this feat, he had been rewarded with two thousand stone land, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he hurriedly said: "Lord, Zhao Hu still has thousands of war horses, and we may be able to buy two hundred more war horses from him." ”
Hearing this, the Bright Moon City Lord raised his eyebrows and asked, "Didn't he say that he could only take out two hundred war horses?" Now ask him for it, and he is still willing to give the war horse out? ”
"He has so many horses, and it shouldn't be a problem to give another two hundred. Didn't he need a shipwright? If we bring in a group of excellent shipwrights, he will definitely not refuse, as long as the price is in place, it is no problem to call him treason. Fell said.
Hearing this, the Bright Moon City Lord frowned: "Excellent shipwright? This is an important basis for our interests, and I have heard that he is going to build a shipyard, and it is probably not appropriate to give him these excellent shipwrights. ”
"My lord, we can raise the price, a good shipwright for a war horse, only two hundred shipwrights can not pose a threat to us, and he is only a major lord, he will leave the territory after a while, his territory is at most to earn him some money, there is no need to be afraid that he will build a war ship." Fair said.
The city lord of Mingyue nodded and said: "Well, that's good, when he comes, you go and find out to him, if you don't want a shipwright, then it's okay to exchange it for gold coins, you can tell him, two thousand gold coins a war horse." ”
Fell immediately took the order, neither of them thought that Zhao Hu would threaten him, it was just to earn a little gold from himself.
Because they all knew that it was a capital offense for the Imperial Army to wage war without an order.
Just when the city lord of Mingyue asked how the reception banquet was prepared, an attendant rushed in rudely and shouted, "Lord, report urgently!" The rogues living in the docks took advantage of the fire to loot, not only ransacked the docks, but also began to attack our army in an organized way, and urgently needed reinforcements! ”
Hearing this, the Bright Moon City Lord immediately jumped up and shouted, "These damn pariahs! Actually pick this time to rebel! Want to make me lose face? Come! Send me 5,000 soldiers and horses to kill the untouchables at the docks!" ”
Fei Er hurriedly dissuaded: "Lord, plus the 2,000 troops who went to fight the fire, so that we only have more than 3,000 troops left in the city, and the defense in the city will be weakened by half immediately, why don't you ask mercenaries to dispatch?" ”
The Bright Moon City Lord stared at Fair coldly and said, "Mercenary, please? Such a trivial matter as exterminating this group of untouchables who took advantage of the fire to rob actually required mercenaries to be dispatched?
"If I do this, what will that Major Zhao Hu think of me when he sees it? What will the other city lords say about me when they see it? They must feel that my direct troops are too weak to solve the problem of the rogues! If they have such a misunderstanding, what do you think will come next? Speaking of the back, the city lord's tone was already so cold that it could freeze.
Fell broke out in a cold sweat, what kind of consequences will be brought about by the weakness of the direct troops of a force? Divide up the same forces immediately, and invade at once the foreign powers.
There is no room for weakness on the southeastern peninsula.
In the past, there was a fool who didn't know who he listened to, and wanted the surrounding enemies to fight each other, but he hid in the shadows and took the opportunity to develop, so he instructed the direct army to deliberately show weakness, but he didn't expect that as soon as he showed weakness, the enemies in all directions immediately targeted him, and all of them flocked over, that is, the rogues and retainers in the territory often rebelled.
Although everyone found out that the information did not match after the battle with the stupid army, the territorial system of the Southeast Peninsula decided that once the war started, the truce was not the monarch's final say, so everyone was fighting to the death.
In this way, although the stupid direct army is actually very strong, no matter how powerful the army is, it can't withstand such a round of attacks, so the result goes without saying, the stupid guy was killed and his territory was annexed.
Therefore, on the southeast peninsula, you can show off your might, and no one in your eyes can do it, but you can't show the enemy weak, because everyone is bullying the soft and afraid of the hard goods, once it is misunderstood as a soft persimmon, it will be troublesome, you must know that it is a hard persimmon, it is pinched too much, pinched for a long time, and it will become a soft persimmon and rotten persimmon.
Thinking of this, Fair immediately knelt down and kowtowed in panic: "Lord, the minister was nervous about the safety of the city for a while, and he didn't notice this, the minister is guilty of capital crimes, and the minister is willing to lead the army to atone for the crime and eliminate those untouchables for the lord!" ”
Phil now scolded himself in his heart: "Damn, why are you so stupid, you only think about the safety of the city and don't want the regular army to be dispatched, but you didn't expect this to give people a feeling of weakness!" Now it's miserable, and the impression that I have built up with great difficulty before is going to be greatly reduced, and I am afraid that I will not even have the opportunity to lead troops to atone for my crimes. ”
Sure enough, the city lord of Mingyue refused: "No need, you still have to be responsible for the banquet, and others will be responsible for the extermination of those untouchables." ”
Hearing the cold tone of the Bright Moon City Lord, Fair could only sigh in his heart and obey, alas, it seems that it will take a long time for him to recover the impression in the lord's heart.
The other retainers present gloated, and although they did not dare to fall into the ground, it was also pleasing to see the decline of the status of the first retainer.
After receiving the order, the five thousand regular troops of Mingyue City immediately rushed to the dock with great momentum and full armament, and the defense of the city gate was much tighter, which made Maude's men lurking near the city gate anxious, and at the same time worried that they would not be able to complete the task, they sent someone to quickly send back the information about the enemy's reinforcement.
In the chaotic docks, Maud was leading a group of his men to command the rogues, excitedly slaughtering the regular army of about 2,000 people.
This regular army was very unlucky, and when they received an order to put out the fire, they did not carry spears and bows and arrows at all, except for a saber, and when they were just about to put out the fire, a dense crowd of rogues suddenly appeared on the left and right and behind them with bamboo guns and rushed over.
Before the bright moon soldier who belonged to the guard could react, he was stabbed through by a bamboo gun.
And the rogues who killed the Mingyue soldiers didn't bother to care about the others, and immediately threw down the bamboo spear, snatched the soldier's saber, and shouted: "I have a gold coin!" While raising his sword, he rushed towards the other Bright Moon soldiers.
The actions of these rogues made the blood of the rogues behind them boil, and they all shouted: "Gold coins!" Gold! "Initiating a death-defying attack.
Although the Mingyue soldiers were well-trained, they were ambushed without psychological preparation, and they were on fire on one side, and the rogues on three sides were as dense as tides, and the time and place and the number of people were not on their side, and their morale was extremely low.
Although there is a big difference in physique and weapons between Liukou and Mingyue Bing, when it comes to fierceness, Liukou is still strong who has nothing but his life to fight.
Moreover, because of the absolute superiority in numbers, and stimulated by money and status, the morale of the rogues is boiling.
The outcome of the battle speaks for itself, it is only a matter of time.
Seeing that the rogues were so excited, Maude, who was hiding in the rear, said proudly to his subordinates: "How is it, is it still smart?"
"One gold coin in exchange for a weapon of a soldier of Bright Moon City, double the officer's. No need for Lao Tzu to bother to speak, these guys will all attack with their lives and deaths. The soldier was bribed with gold coins, and the leader was bribed with the position of a retainer, Lao Tzu, I am too wise. ”
"The boss is indeed wise, his subordinates can't imagine that the boss can come up with this way to boost morale, it's really amazing." Maude's men immediately slapped their ass.
While enjoying the sycophants, Maude secretly laughed at himself in his heart: "What a wisdom, don't you remember the reason why when you attacked the lord, the city offered a reward to buy imperial weapons."
"But Mingyue City is too stingy, the imperial weapon is only a silver coin, and now Lao Tzu is a gold coin for each piece! Lao Tzu is so generous, or is only Lao Tzu suitable to be the new city lord here! Thinking of the back, Maude became smug again.
At any time, there is a situation of bad scenery, no, one of his subordinates suddenly asked: "Boss, there are thousands of people here, that is, thousands of weapons, boss, do you have so many gold coins?" ”
The sycophants immediately disappeared, and Maude glared at his subordinates and yelled, "Stupid! I'm working for my lord, and of course the money is from my lord! ”
The subordinate didn't bother and continued to ask, "Well, what if the lord doesn't agree?" ”
"It's only a few thousand gold coins, the lord is so rich and generous, how can he not agree?"
Maud didn't think about this at all, and easily answered his subordinates' questions.
In fact, as long as you take a few thousand gold coins, you can solve thousands of enemy troops, and anyone will agree to such a good thing.
