Chapter 132: Okay, drill and drill
As a nobleman, you can not care about life and death, but you can't care about your reputation.
Viscount Ed's request was to trample on Eugen's reputation, make him fall to his knees in front of him, and burrow under his crotch like a dog.
Once Eugen did this, he would lose his honor, all the nobles would look down on him, and the circle of the nobility would no longer tolerate him.
On the contrary, Viscount Ed's prestige will be greatly increased, and the incident will be widely circulated in aristocratic circles, which will bring him great benefits.
Of course, more importantly, this will make the pleasure of revenge stronger, and Viscount Ed also wants to kill Eugen, but it would be more enjoyable if he could humiliate the other party before killing him.
When the steward of West heard Viscount Ed's request, he immediately became angry and scolded Viscount Ed: "Viscount Ed, you want to know who you are talking to, I came to escort you on the order of Prince Eugen, do you want to disobey Prince Eugen?" ”
"Hehe, of course I won't disobey the Prince's orders, so I won't kill him, but the Prince didn't say that Eugen can't be humiliated, and now I'm just going to let him get under my crotch, or you won't want to pass."
"You!" Steward West was furious, this Viscount Ed was really difficult, and now they were blocking the intersection, putting on a look of being ready to attack at any time, but they said that they would not disobey the order, which was really incomprehensible.
But they were still in the Pescara region, and they couldn't stay here for a long time, in case the little nobles who had been hiding behind them got the news and brought someone after them.
At that time, Eugen was probably a hundred times more insulted than it is today.
All of a sudden, the escort team was caught in a dilemma.
At this moment, Eugen spoke: "What, is that all?" Haha, I thought it was a big deal. ”
Unexpectedly, Eugen behaved very relaxed, and even had a smile on his face.
"Huh?" Seeing Eugen's reaction, Viscount Ed couldn't help but feel confused, wondering if Eugen had misunderstood what he meant. So, Viscount Ed deliberately emphatically said, "I mean, I want you to get under my crotch, and for now, you don't want to play any tricks." ”
"Okay, okay, shut up, I heard you clearly." Eugen grinned and said, since that's the case, let's move on. ”
With that, he rode forward, and the soldiers in the escort team behind him, although they were also a little puzzled, still followed Eugen slowly.
In this way, the soldiers under Viscount Ed fell into passivity. Their bows and arrows have been drawn and are ready to be fired at any time, and now that the opponent is in range, now is the best time to attack.
But the Count Eugen on the other side showed great cooperation, and it was still a question whether this war would be launched, and the archers were very puzzled, not knowing whether to attack or not.
Viscount Ed was also stunned, Eugen's reaction was too relaxed, and it could even be said to be a little excited, which couldn't help but make Viscount Ed very puzzled, could it be that this Count Eugen had a quirk of drilling around in other people's crotches?
For a moment, even he hesitated, not knowing whether to order an attack or not.
The distance between the two sides was only about two hundred meters, and soon, Eugen and the others crossed the first hundred meters and approached the vicinity of the mountain pass.
This is arguably the place where the archers are most powerful, and the closer they are, the archers' role will be drastically reduced, and if they are put in the face by the opposing infantry and cavalry, the archers will become lambs to be slaughtered.
Steward Vester was also a little stunned, he couldn't figure out what Eugen meant, but of course he wouldn't dismantle Eugen's platform at this time, so he followed Eugen and moved forward with him.
"Stop, stop." Viscount Ed realized that something seemed to be wrong with the problem, so he shouted in a panic.
Eugen didn't stop, but said in a soothing tone: "Viscount Ed, didn't you tell me to get under your crotch, and I agreed?" What, you changed your mind? ”
As Eugen got closer and closer, Count Ed suddenly felt a strong pressure, and he hurriedly said: "No, I just let you come by yourself, you have to let your soldiers wait behind, don't come with you." ”
Fear oppressed Count Eddard, and he wanted to give the order to attack, but the thought of Prince Eugen, known as the 'God of War', made his legs weak. But if he didn't attack, he couldn't stop Eugen from approaching.
Just as he hesitated, the escort team approached another thirty meters, and the front row of light cavalry had already held their breath, and they also felt that the battle could break out at any moment.
"No, Viscount Ed, I'm a prisoner, they're the soldiers in charge of escorting me, and according to the rules, they must surround me, otherwise, what if I take the opportunity to escape?"
Eugen was still chattering relaxedly, and the steward of West couldn't help but feel very admired when he saw that he was facing the other party's army formation of hundreds of people in front of him, and he was able to talk and laugh freely without panic.
He didn't know that Eugen was also panicked in his heart, he was completely holding on now, and if he got closer and looked closely, he would also see that the expression on his face was a little stiff.
Eugen is gambling, of course he won't really drill, and he's not Han Xin. This was just a delaying tactic on his part, and Eugen had already observed from a distance that although Viscount Ed's side seemed to be outnumbered, nearly half of them were archers.
Once he led people closer to the other party's thirty meters distance, those archers could not be effective at all. As for the rest of the infantry, in terms of the sophistication of equipment, it was far inferior to the escort team from the royal family behind him.
If the distance is right, the light cavalry can pass through the opponent's formation and fight among the archers in the rear with a single charge.
At the moment, for both of them, the change in distance is a change in advantages and disadvantages, and what Eugen is betting on is that Viscount Ed will not be so decisive and directly give the order to attack.
As it turned out, Eugen was right.
In the end, the forward of the escort team crossed the dividing line of thirty meters and approached the front of Viscount Ed's army. After all, Viscount Ed waved his hand weakly, allowing his archers to cancel their preparation for shooting.
At present, if the two sides start a war, the victory rate is only between five and five, and Viscount Ed has not ordered an attack before, let alone now.
At this moment, he could only hope that Eugen did have that strange habit and voluntarily got under his crotch, otherwise, he was afraid that he would fall short this time.
