The Battle of the Successor of the Count of BurgundyThe Northland Battlefield entered a temporary standstill due to the defeat of the city of Besançon, and in fact the Battle of Besançon was already the end of the crossbow of the old and new forces.

While the war in the north was temporarily extinguished, the local battlefield in the south continued.

The army of the province of Kodor was defeated in the battle to support the northland, and most of their army followed Bernard's army of the Thorne to the border of the province of Thorne, while the border troops in the south of Kodor still maintained their fighting spirits, and in early January, the Kodor raided the southern part of the county of Longxia, but they were blocked by the high mountains of the Midsummer region, and the army only burned and looted at the foot of the mountain, and returned in a huff before the arrival of the army of the mountain people in Midsummer.

The barony of Sap, in the southeastern part of Kodor, is still raging today.

The Stone Fort, a stone wall less than a hundred feet long, became the moat for Kodor's march into Sap.

After nearly a month of attacking, Kodor's army had already lost more than 130 men under the high walls of this canyon.

Kodor's army has been without battle for a long time, and their lives have been smoothed out by the peace and well-being, and these people do not know how cruel and tragic the battlefield is.

Beyond the stone walls of the stone fort, there were many corpses piled up within a hundred paces, the whole corpses had been dragged back by the Kodor army and buried, and the remaining corpses were really impossible to drag, because the corpses were either crushed into bloody mud by the huge rocks or pierced into rotten flesh by the sharp stakes in the deep pits.

Felix is worthy of being an officer who fought with Art, and he has learned all the tricks and tricks that Art has used to deal with the enemy.

In the past month, the Kodorians launched seven offences after the war, the first five attacks Felix relied on the high walls of the canyon and deep pit traps to beat the Kodorians to the city, the canyon outside the stone fort was too narrow, and the siege equipment of the Kodorians could not be used, they could only rely on a limited number of trebuchets and a siege tower to try to reach the city, but Sapp's army had already preset many traps and pits in front of the high wall of the valley mouth, and the siege tower could not move forward smoothly at all, and the stone fort wall kept shooting arrows, Behind the city walls, trebuchets kept throwing stones and oil, and the soldiers who filled the pits were so beaten by arrows and oil that they couldn't lift their heads.

During the sixth attack, the Kodor army attacked the army led by Longxia to reinforce, and the number of troops outside the stone fort was increased to five hundred, and they drove a hundred serfs to push stones and soil, and filled the ravine leading to the stone fort with the lives of serfs, just as the three hundred Kodor soldiers carried wooden ladders and rushed into the stone fort a hundred paces away with a huge shield, a wolf smoke rose, and before the Kodors could react, the cliffs on both sides of the canyon suddenly rolled down the boulders.

The stones were the size of a skull, but the largest ones were half a man's height.

The boulders of the canyon cliffs were Felix's weapons for defending the Stone Fort, and they were used at the most critical moments.

Sure enough, a burst of boulders rolled down and killed dozens of Kodor soldiers on the spot, countless were injured and disabled, and the most important thing was that the road to the canyon outside the stone fort was blocked by boulders, and the two hundred Kodor soldiers who were prepared in the rear and the three hundred soldiers who attacked were blocked by the rocks, Felix took the opportunity to personally lead the Sapp defenders to open the city gate and kill the Kodorians who were smashed into the dazed head, and the Sapp army killed more than 50 Kodor soldiers in that battle alone.

Three days later, the Kodor army began the seventh offensive, but the fifth was purely for show, they used more than 300 soldiers to attract the front, and then sent more than 100 elite soldiers to divide into several teams to try to run from those mountain trails to the back of the stone fort, but Felix had already ambushed the soldiers on those paths and set traps, and the Kodorians left many corpses and returned with feathers.

The Kodor attack on Sapp continued for more than a month, and it was not until the heavy snowfall a few days earlier that the Kodorians retreated their army to a small town outside the gorge and set up camp.

The battle process of the Stone Fort is wonderful, if it is not for the main battlefields in the north and the east, the battle scene of thousands of people is even more thrilling, and the battle of the Stone Fort is really worth writing.

Although the Stone Fort was not the main battlefield, the news that Felix led the army to resist the Kodor army still reached the command camp of the Central Army of the Liberation Army, and Flender, as the supreme commander of the Liberation Army, was very happy when he learned of the military situation, and immediately ordered Felix to be promoted to the Knight of the Border Guard of the Count of Burgundy and gave him the false title of Adjutant of Military Affairs in the South as an encouragement. In order to alleviate the crisis in Sapp, Flender also dispatched the Count of Longxia to lead two hundred mountain people to gather down the mountain to support the Stone Fort in the name of the Earl of Longxia......

Although the military achievements and achievements all belonged to Felix, the commander of the Sapp army, the battle of Fort Tiaoshi was not all done by Felix and his Sapp army, in fact, the actual commander of the defending army at the beginning of the sixth defense of Fort Tiaoshi was three people, namely Felix, Bas and Simon.

After receiving the urgent letter that the Barony of Sapu was attacked, the Barony of the Valley immediately dispatched thirty young and strong peasant soldiers from Boulder Town and Beiguan Military Fort to rush to the aid of Fort Sap, and after the fifth attack, Kodor increased his troops, and after obtaining the unanimous consent of the civil officials who remained in the valley, Bass urgently requisitioned fifty peasant soldiers and twenty border defenders to lead them to Fort Sap to support, along with Bass to support Fort Sap, along with a large number of weapons and armor produced by the Valley Weapons Workshop and ten instructors belonging to the garrison corps.

With the experienced and calm and experienced Bass leading a group of instructors to sit in the stone fort, Felix won a huge victory in the sixth defensive battle, of course, Bath and Simon will not dominate the game, so Flender got the MIA report in Felix is the absolute first credit......

At the beginning of February, the first troops returned to the north and south after a long journey finally returned to Tignats, where they rested at the estate of Lane in Arte.

One hundred Welsh legion soldiers, thirty wounded soldiers, and a caravan carrying large quantities of war loot slowly drove into Lane Manor.

It turned out that the "good bandit leader" Redogan stationed in Lane Manor was still assisting in the defense of Brammon City at this time, and at this time Lane Manor was garrisoned by twenty peasant soldiers led by Scott, the valley commissioner.

The long march was harder than the battle, so when the army arrived at Lane Manor, everyone relaxed, and many soldiers collapsed into the barn stables of the manor as soon as they announced that they would be repaired on the spot.

Leading the team south were the commercial officer Salter and the army commander, flag captain Bangada.

The soldiers and caravan attachés fell to the ground, but Salt and Bangada, as commanders, did not dare to rest.

When they arrived at Lane Manor, they had to store all the supplies in the warehouse and put people on guard, and they had to settle the wounded soldiers who were still vulnerable.

Fortunately, Scott, the cantonment officer, was a very capable official, and he took the initiative to take over the burden on the shoulders of Salt and Bangada, personally led his peasant soldiers to prepare food and soup for the team, and at the same time cleaned up the barracks for the wounded soldiers to arrange treatment, and took the initiative to take the peasants to unload a cart of supplies and carry them into the warehouse.

By the time the busy work is over, it will be dark.

Scott led Salter and Bangada into the Lane Manor mansion, and asked the room to bring them a sumptuous dinner, and the three of them gathered around the mansion fireplace to devour their food and ask each other about their situation.

“...... These are just the materials we have captured from the Swabian war, we have also recaptured more than 1,700,000 pfennig gold and silver from the Swabian bandits, and it is with this more than 1,000 pfenni that your lord has gathered 2,000 troops in the east to recover Fort Gennet, and when we left, your lord has already begun to recover the other two important towns, according to your outstanding military achievements in this battle, I am afraid that you will soon be promoted to viscount. ”

"Maybe a Frontier False Earl is a possibility!"

Salter had a large piece of rotten meat bubbling with oil and water in his mouth, and the wooden spoon in his hand kept gesturing in the air, and his excitement was overflowing, although he was not a member of the army, it was an honor to be able to experience a national war in person.

Compared with the excited Salter, Bangada in the army was much more depressed, he just sat silently in front of the fireplace and ate the delicious pea meat puree, and from time to time picked up the burnt bacon and took two bites.

"Brother Bangada, you don't have to grieve, I will definitely send the body of Brother Pats back to the valley for burial, and erect a stone monument on his grave." Scott saw the body of Patter, the flag captain of the Welsh Legion, in the carriage where he brought back the wounded, and Bangeda's best brother was killed in the battle in the East, much to Banggda's dismay.

Bangada still didn't want to speak, just buried his head in the food.

Seeing that Bangada was not in a good mood, Salt changed the subject, "Brother Scott, what happened to the Southern Caravan of the European Merchant Bank?" I've been delayed in the Northland for too long, and I haven't heard about the Southern caravan for a long time. ”

Scott straightened up, and his mood also calmed down, "At the end of December last year, the European comptoirs were hit in Provence, and the relieved Provençal merchants began to concentrate on squeezing out the continental comptoirs that we had just gained a foothold on the eastern front of Provence. ”

"A fire in a southern warehouse in Kitsby killed a keeper, but fortunately the southern goods we had hoarded in the warehouse were transported to the border outpost the day before to be delivered to Baron Antayas."

"The southern goods transit shop in a castle between Kitsby and Aosta was also harassed by local hooligans, who claimed that our trading house had taken the jobs of the locals, and threatened to smash the caravan and drive away the shop stewards."

"Aosta City further south is slightly better, but the tax collector in Aosta has offered to increase our taxes."

"The trade route to the Kingdom of France on the eastern route is also becoming more and more difficult, and at the beginning of January, Madeney wanted to sell a batch of southward goods that had been hoarded for a long time to the French border, but the goods were seized by the border defenders, and later Madeney went to your friend on the border and spent a lot of money to redeem the ......."

Scott is a high-ranking official in the civil affairs system, although he is not in charge of commerce and trade, but he also knows the dilemma of the European Comptoir, Scott said a lot, and it boils down to a sentence of war in the Northland, Art's expedition, Salt's absence, and the lack of support from the Continental Comptoir.

Salter slammed the wooden bowl in his hand and spilled the soup and wheat paste on the ground, "I knew those bastards would take advantage of our civil strife to attack us!" ”

"Yes, the European commercial banks have not made much profit for two consecutive months, and they can barely maintain the operation of the commercial banks by relying on the only southern goods trade channels."

"Last month, the old butler sent the Lawrence brothers south again to temporarily take over the Continental Comptoir, along with several apprentices from the parish school and Kenneim, a shop steward who had been urgently recalled from Lucesen. The old butler told Lawrence and the others to go to the Viscount of Barrion, hoping that he would help. ”

Salter nodded, "The old butler is doing the right thing, the Continental Comptoir has a share of the Viscount of Berion, and he will never watch the bacon in his bowl be snatched away by others." The Lord asked me to return to the south early to stabilize the European Continental Trading Bank, and he said that the Northern Land would be calm for a while, and he would take advantage of the war to lay out the European Continental Trading Bank as soon as possible......"

While the three of them were chatting, a soldier pushed the door open and entered, "My lords, the civil governor of the valley has sent someone to send an order for the army returning south to send fifty soldiers to Sapu Fort to support the ...... as soon as possible."
