On the third day of December, the first snow of the winter fell in bits and pieces on the Swabian border county.

Outside the city of Bouvan, more than 200 Burgundian soldiers besieged a simple temporary barracks with the help of 20 or so vans, and confronted the more than 100 Swabian defenders at the head of Bouvan City.

The Swabians at the head of the city hated it, but they didn't have the courage to break through the safety of the city walls and attack the Burgundian robbers outside the city......

Last evening, the army led by Art arrived at the city of Bouvan without any hindrance, and the Swabian defenders of Bouvan obviously did not expect that when the Swabian army invaded Burgundy, a Burgundian enemy army would suddenly appear to counterattack the territory.

The Schwabians panicked, and the two hundred of the most elite soldiers of Bouvan County were sent to the Earl of Landy, and became the backbone of the plundering of the Jonah border, participating in the glorious and lucrative act of plundering Burgundy.

Now there are only some peasant soldiers and miscellaneous servants left in the county town of Bufan and the county border, and it is no problem for more than 100 people in the city of Bufan to barely hold on to the city for a few days, if you want to go out of the city to fight, I am afraid it will not be enough for the Burgundian army outside the city to stuff the teeth.

Five or six hundred men had made a show of strength outside the city, and after suppressing the Swabian army in the city of Bouvan, Art divided the army into three parts.

Lusignan's cavalry was sent to patrol the main roads south and east of Bouvan to keep watch out for the army of Landi stationed in Ao Nang or the army from the Swabian mansion, and once the enemy reinforcements arrived, Art would decide to fight or flee according to the strength of the enemy reinforcements;

The four banners of the 1st Regiment of the Jonah Frontier Garrison temporarily followed Yat in the makeshift chariot barracks outside Bouvan to guard against the Swabian defenders in the county;

The rest of the army was scattered to the Manor Castles in Bouvan County with vacant chariots under the command of Angus and Otto, with only one mission - to grab something!

At a road fork near the city of Buvan, the commander of the 2nd Infantry Regiment, Odo, is announcing the precautions for "forced conscription" to the junior officers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment under his command.

"You must remember that the first thing about this forced levy is gold, silver, money, weapons and armor, Schwaz himself has robbed us a lot of things over the years, and we should also go to their house to forcibly levy it, everyone remember, Randy's old mongrel army is in Ao Nang City, less than four days away, the adults only gave us half of the time, everyone must hurry up and force the levy. Most of you are from civilian backgrounds, everyone must know who is rich in the village manor, right? Remember, we are not robbers, we can't rob everyone, and there's no time for you to go door-to-door......"

"How many drops of oil can those poor sticks squeeze out at home?"

Odo feared that his prisoners would rob all the prisoners, not only wasting time but also not getting much of a catch.

Obviously, Odo thought too much, in the past, the prisoners stole and plundered the commoners because they couldn't kill the guards and peasants of the noble lords, but now the prisoners have become strong men with weapons in their hands and armor in their bodies, and of course they give priority to those squires and nobles.

Odo's voice continued, "The targets of the conscription are the craftsmen, scholars, healers, and all skilled craftsmen. At this point I must stress again that no one is allowed to mess with the houses of artisans, scholars, and healers, and they and their relatives are under the protection of our army. My lord met in the military last night, but if a craftsman, scholar or healer is captured, the Chinese army will reward thirty pfennigs. In order that those people can return to Burgundy with us with peace of mind, their relatives should also be taken with them. ”

"The third is the chariots, horses and livestock, the chariots we carry need to carry soldiers in an emergency, so the things that are forcibly requisitioned this time need to be transported by horse-drawn carts.

"The third is other valuable goods, which are easy to carry and the most valuable, and take them all away."

"Finally, the Chinese army ordered the conscripted troops to look for the Burgundians who had been captured by the Swabians, most of whom were kept as slaves on the manor by the Swabians, and this time we will free those brothers and let them join us against the Swabian army, and after you have rescued them, you can issue some simple weapons to the more daring men among them, and let them lead you to the Swabian rich households."

"Remember who we are and what we do, and don't waste our time doing all that stuff. Take care of your soldiers, you are not allowed to keep anything above 20 pfennig private, and you will be severely punished by military law once you are caught! ”

"That's all, the squadrons of the flag teams are scattered and assemble here tonight!"

Eight miles west of the city of Buvan, three wagons pulled twenty-seven or eight strange soldiers towards the manor.

The manor house was simply enclosed by a wooden fence, about the size of the Lane Manor in Tiniets.

The manor is not rich, but according to the Swabian people who led the way, the old knight has been operating in the manor for more than ten years, and he has accumulated a lot of gold and silver treasures, and the most important thing is that there are no soldiers in the manor, and the only four manor guards immediately rolled up their leather trouser legs and ran away when they heard dozens of elite enemy soldiers killing, and the old knight had to temporarily forcibly recruit more than a dozen farmers from the manor to pick up a wooden fork and iron sickle and stand at the head of the manor wall.

The old knight still has a bit of responsibility, when dozens of murderous enemy soldiers came to the gate of the manor, the old knight dressed neatly and walked out of the manor in an attempt to talk to the enemy

The old knight, accompanied by a spear-wielding peasant, came to the chariot and bowed, "Honorable guest, I am the lord here, knight Logan?" Freeman, may I invite gentlemen to dinner with me on my estate? ”

Rig touched his head and looked at the pious knight lord inexplicably, "What is this old knight?" I came to snatch something and he saluted me, what is that! ”

The squadron leader beside Rig pushed the Swabian subjugator and motioned for him to hurry up and translate.

"That old gentleman is a local lord, what's his name Logan~ He invited us to dinner with him in the manor?" After listening to the words translated by the Swabian people, the squadron leader turned to the flag captain Rig.

"I'm going to go in for dinner, but I'll go in myself without being invited by him. Tell the old knight that he can hold out and wait for me to attack, but don't expect me to duel him, I can't beat him. "Rigge, who was born as a robber, doesn't have any sense of an officer and aristocrat.

The squadron leader translated two sentences to the Ministry, and the Swabian Miner looked awkward, and he hesitated for a moment to convey Rig's words to the old knight.

The old knight shook his head and sighed, and led the peasant soldiers into the manor......
