Chapter 301: Old Rivals

"Valiant warriors, brave knights! O nobles of noble status! ”

"Duke Bunkerson has issued the most inferior provocation to us! We can't forgive him! Now, I'm going to punish him the hardest! ”

"Give him a little color! Everyone will get what you deserve from this war! ”

King Brolin's previous words only played a small role, and the latter words were what everyone wanted to hear.

Looking at the soldiers with high morale, King Brolin gave an order: "Go!" ”

This time, King Brolin can be said to have made all the nobles pour out, and almost all the regular troops in the territory were requisitioned.

However, although the number was important, King Brolin still did not let the nobles recruit serfs to fight, because if they really wanted to recruit serfs, the price to pay would definitely not be small.

After all, the morale of the serfs is not high, the combat effectiveness is not strong, and the discipline is very poor, and it is easy to affect their own camp.

What's more, the number of serfs is huge, and if the nobles of the whole country really recruit serfs to fight here, it is estimated that there will be hundreds of thousands.

Even the royal family could not afford such a large amount of supplies in this amount, so basically as long as there was a war between kingdoms on the mainland, if it was not in the tragic situation of destroying the country, serfs would generally not be used to fight, but a confrontation between regular armies.

This time, King Brolin had 5,000 armed infantry in improvised iron and leather armor, and 2,000 archers armed with bows and arrows of the kingdom.

In addition, there are more than 900 elite knights wearing double chain mail scale armor and war horses wearing horse armor, they are all the most loyal and brave knights of the royal family.

Although there were no knights, their system was exactly the same as that of the knights, and although there were fiefs, they still had to train in the royal capital most of the time.

The rest were some stragglers, and the nobles had put together a regular army of about 20,000.

After all, not all nobles are the same territory, there are barren territories and rich territories.

For example, Wella's father, Viscount Covin, was a relatively wealthy nobleman, and he was able to put together nearly a hundred armed infantrymen, which was already very wealthy.

Only one-fifth of the royal barons were able to recruit more than eighty armed infantrymen, and the same was true for the viscounts.

In addition, with William's troops, the number of troops on this expedition exceeded 30,000.

You must know that even if it is the traditional top power in the north of the continent, the Knight Kingdom Astra Kingdom, the regular army that can be recruited is only nearly 40,000.

This shows how prosperous the country was built by King Brolin under the unprecedented unity of the nobility of the country.

After all, even King Leonac of the kingdom of Astra could not make the nobles so united.

On the Duke Bunkerson's side, the army that can be dispatched is only about 10,000, which is still all the troops he can muster, including the mercenaries he hired at a great price.

The soldiers walked on the roads that had been built near the royal capital, and King Brolin knew the role of building roads, so he also began to build roads near the royal capital, hoping to one day cover the entire kingdom.

Of course, this kind of large-scale project is hopeless without more than ten or twenty years.

Of course, it was impossible for the Denlenburg army to march in heavy armor all the time, and all the iron armor on their Jianxing was taken off and put on the open carriage pulled by the horse.

Wearing only the innermost cotton armor on his body, he still walked forward with neat steps.

And at this moment, there were suddenly a few more people next to William's four-** carriage.

"Is there anything you guys are up to?"

Riding on his horses, Norwen's light cavalry walked at the rear of the group, while he followed William's carriage and chatted with the three of them.

He saw the people around him, and found the royal family's red background sword brown bear flag on the other party's body, so he dispelled his vigilance, but he still asked.

The other party took a look at the wood, and found that the blouse he was wearing was printed with the black wolf head coat of arms, and it also carried the size of a baron, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "Report to this honorable baron, we have come to Count William to discuss the strategy of His Majesty according to the order of His Majesty!" ”

At this time, William also noticed their arrival, and after hearing their words, he got out of the carriage and said, "All right, I will go with you." ”

As he spoke, he mounted a war horse and ran in the direction of the larger four-horse carriage of King Brolin in front of him.

After stepping into the four-** carriage, William found that there was not only King Brolin alone, but also the other three counts here, and Viscount Muyurn and General Yousen were also in the carriage.

Although King Brolin personally led the army this time, he also knew that his command of the army was not strong, and he still had to rely on General Yousen for specific battles.

William and a few others said hello, but they skipped Count Suttle, and since they had already torn their faces, there was no need to greet them with false affection.

King Brolin apparently knew what had happened, but he didn't pursue it.

"The people have arrived, and I have some tasks to give you!"

"Sattle!" King Brolin called out and said, "You go and take charge of plundering the production areas in the southwest of the Duchy of Bunkerson, and come back by plundering as much grain as possible!" ”

"Count Kliman, you are responsible for going to the south of the Duchy of Bunkerson to contain the forces of the local lords so that they cannot go for reinforcements, I hope to be able to defeat the enemy with smaller losses!"

"As for William!" King Brolin paused at this point, and then said with an apologetic expression on his face: "Count William, I am afraid that you are going to fight a tough battle, and you must conquer Issamdenburg, which belongs to the Earl of Cansville, as our bridgehead and springboard for attacking the hinterland of the Duchy of Bunkerson. ”

"According to the information we have obtained, it seems that a lot of troops have been assembled in Issamdenburg now, and the Earl of Cansville has gathered about 800 armed infantry, more than 200 knights, and more than 4,000 serf conscripts in Issamdenburg!"

Speaking of this, King Brolin's face was a little solemn, although he did not use serfs, but it was because the food was too wasteful.

The enemy is fighting in their own territory, and they will not lack food, so it is very likely that the serfs will be used by them.

When William heard that the Earl of Issamdenburg was an old rival, he thought that he had invaded Denlenburg at the behest of the Duchy of Bunkerson, but unfortunately the Count of Loire at that time gathered an army and defeated them.

Unexpectedly, this time his opponent was still the Earl of Cansville, it seems that Denlenburg and Issamdenborg are really very fateful!
