Chapter 1300: Battle of Honor
Beyond Yumsburg, further west is the Elbe River valley, the core of the Saxon Kingdom, and across the Elbe, you can go straight to the Yellow Dragon and attack the Saxony capital Suplin Castle. It's over, everyone has been deceived by the Easterners, their real intention is not to take out the city of Psk, but to take out the kingdom of Saxony directly.
In the past hundred years, the kingdom of Saxony has become the most powerful force in the Holy Roman Empire after the painstaking management of Lothair I and Lothair II, and even the eastern aristocracy led by the Frederick family has been suppressed by the Kingdom of Saxony. If the Easterners really take down Supulin Castle, it will cause a great earthquake within the Holy Empire, and the entire empire will reshuffle the cards. The kingdoms of Upper and Lower Saxony could be closely connected to the Istrian Highlands, and the powerful Eastern Empire would henceforth control the northern part of the Holy Empire. Why is this happening? No, the Orientals must not be allowed to get the Kingdom of Saxony, Sugs did not want to give up, and when he thought of the possible consequences, he could not help but feel cold from the bottom of his heart. The Eastern Empire is strong enough, and once they eat the land of the Kingdom of Saxony, the Holy Empire will be completely crushed.
Sugs sent all the soldiers and horses at his disposal in the city of Pske, and did not dare to breathe for a moment, and hurried to the west, but all his efforts were doomed to be in vain. When they arrived in Festaq, the mighty garrison of Kipros finally showed their strength to crush everything, and the whole of Festak was shrouded in a desolate aura with trebuchets and rammers, coupled with the rain of arrows. Festak guarded the eastern entrance to the Kingdom of Saxony, where tens of thousands of Prussians were desperately stationed, but when had the Prussians ever seen so many trebuchets? In the evening, a new round of offensive finally began, and Siu Zhiyun personally arrived at the front line to oversee the battle. Xiao Zhiyun is not easy at all, if she doesn't bite Festark, it means that there is a risk, so even if you pay more price, you must quickly take Festak City, "Yu Xiaochen, all the fire oil accumulated in the general is thrown in, and the longbowmen suppress it from the south, in addition, transfer Tiefutu over and tell Yerusha that the concubine will give him an hour's time, and if he can't take the high ground in the north after an hour, let him come to see him." ”
Once in command, Xiao Zhiyun returned to her previous determination to kill, although the imperial soldiers attacked fiercely, but it was far from enough, and the Prussians on the high slopes in the north held back a lot of energy. The reason why the Iron Float was sent over was because they took a fancy to the heavy armor defense of the Iron Float, and these Iron Floats were without war horses, and they had to gnaw down the high ground if they climbed over a little bit. After getting Xiao Zhiyun's order, how dare Yelusha hesitate, he knows Xiao Zhiyun's personality too well, this woman is the same, she is resolute and resolute in doing things, not to mention him Yelusha, even if he is replaced by Pang He and Xiao Yue, if he can't complete the military order, he will still be killed. The high slopes to the north were always hindering the attacking troops, and the Prussians were constantly sneaking up, and as soon as they encountered heavy slaughter, they quickly withdrew to the high slopes. This place is full of coniferous forests, and the soldiers of the Dingguo Army are not familiar with the terrain, and they have suffered heavy losses many times when they go in. In order to complete the task assigned by Xiao Zhiyun, Yerusha decided to go to Gaopo in person. The cold wind was blowing at night, and the forest was roaring, just like countless women complaining and sighing, which made people shudder, it was definitely not okay to set fire, the forest was so close to Festak, once it was set on fire, it was not only the Prussians who burned, but also the soldiers of the Dingguo Army. Looking at the secluded jungle, Yerusha turned over and dismounted, gushing out a ruthlessness that only a ruffian can have, "All dismount, transfer the longbowmen behind you some, a team of three, protecting two longbowmen, the general will not believe it, even if it is the Longtan Tiger's Den, Lao Tzu will take this place." ”
In this coniferous forest, the usual way of fighting is not effective at all, no wonder Concubine Xiao insisted on letting Tiefutu come over, it was clear that she wanted to let Tiefutu be a heavy infantry, crush it little by little, even if it was by climbing, she had to plow this high slope little by little. This is not the first time that Tiefutu has made a cameo appearance as a heavy infantryman, but fortunately, they are used to it, as long as there are infantry with shields to cooperate, they can also be qualified heavy infantry. In just a moment, a large number of infantry and longbowmen were transferred to the bottom of the high slope, these people were in a team of six, scattered the formation, and pushed in little by little, the shield bearer protected the longbowman, and the iron float was used as a meat shield in front, this strange combination, some nondescript, using the iron float as a meat shield, and only an army like the Dingguo army could come out. If Lothair and the others knew that Yerusha used the Iron Floating Slaughter like this, they would have to be fainted by anger, this is a group of iron horsemen who have built a lot of money, and they have done the most inconspicuous dirty work. In the darkness of night, the Prussians hid in the woods and stole their hands, a method that had been tried and tested repeatedly, and the Orientals had rushed into the woods several times, only to be defeated. Stupid Orientals, when it is dark, dare to go into the woods, isn't this looking for death?
A Prussian man with a small crossbow in his hand, saw where the torch was shining, and quickly struck, and the sharp arrow pierced out along the cold wind, but there was no muffled grunt as expected, only a clanging sound. Hell, why can't you shoot dead? The Prussian, who was still wondering, felt a strong wind in his ears, and then there was a pain in his shoulder, and an arrow pierced the skin of the animal on his shoulder and sank into the flesh. This happened again and again, and after the Prussians had lost a few hundred men, they realized that something was wrong, and the eastern soldiers who entered the woods this time were almost invulnerable. After paying a heavy price, they finally understood what was going on, this was a group of infantry covered in iron armor, with longbowmen behind them, as soon as someone sneaked attacked, they immediately counterattacked in the direction of the attack, and many Prussians fell on the road. What can I do, those people are invulnerable, the sky is dark and whirring, they can only be beaten passively, and if they retreat like this, they all have to jump off the cliff. In desperation, the commander in charge of Gao Po could only order to withdraw and retreat to Festaq City.
After daybreak, the remaining remnants of the Prussian army on the high slope were also wiped out, and Jerusha finally breathed a sigh of relief, this errand was not easy at all, and it was better to attack the city. On this day, the sky over the city of Festaq was cloudy, just like the mood of the soldiers and civilians in the city. Since the accession of Lothair II, the city of Festac has become the domain of the Conrad family, and the current lord of the city is the Duke of Mazovia of Lower Saxony, Mazovia? Conrad is now Chinese New Year's Eve and seventeen years old, which is the age of the peak of spring and autumn. He was absolutely unwilling to hand over the city of Festac to the Orientals, and the interests of the Conrad family were suitable for the Lothair family to be tightly tied together, and both sides would be prosperous and the other would be lost. If the Kingdom of Saxony cannot be saved, the Conrad family will be completely submerged in the long river of history, and it will never recover. Mazovia was dedicated to guarding the entrance to the kingdom, but the development of the situation made him more and more headaches, and until now, the soldiers and horses arranged on the periphery to attack and contain were either wiped out or forced back to the city, and now, only Festac City remains. The Oriental people are really too powerful, and overnight, they completely controlled the battle in their own hands.
Bang bang, there was a knock on the door, and it didn't take long for John, a priest belonging to the Conrad family, to walk in with his sleeves up, looking at Mazovia, who was frowning in front of him, John bowed and said, "Lord Duke, Pope Gregoris has sent the church forces around Hohenzollern, and he will definitely be able to reach Festaq within two days, and I hope that the Duke must hold on for two days." ”
"His Majesty the Pope sent soldiers and horses?" Mazovia didn't show much excitement, and he was now worried about how to hold on for two days. It is also understandable that the Pope was willing to send reinforcements, looking at what the Easterners were doing in Kipoula, they did not believe in God at all, they were a group of outright infidels. In Kiev and Vladimir, the Church of the Orientals carried out a brutal suppression, and if the Orientals were allowed to occupy the Kingdom of Saxony, I am afraid that the influence of the Church in the Holy Empire would be further weakened. For the sake of the Church, Gregory must also do everything in his power to stop the progress of the Orientals. Gregory is different from Dorle, he doesn't have his own land, the only thing he relies on is the power of faith, if God's faith is doubted, the power in his hands will also dissipate, and Dorle and others, they don't live on the church, they have their own territory, they have their own business interests, they are not on the same line with the church from the beginning, in some ways, Dorle and even Lothair, they have been trying their best to weaken the influence of the church, but they can't do it. Of course, Gregory did not do this for the sake of Lothair, but to maintain the integrity of the Holy Empire, and as long as the empire is stable, the power of the Church will not be greatly lost. Although Lothair and these people also tried their best to weaken the influence of the church, they did not dare to do it blatantly after all, but the Orientals are different, they will really raise a butcher's knife to the church, and they will not consider the opinions of the Germanic people at all.
Waiting for John to sit down, Mazovia stretched out his hand and tapped the map in front of him, "Your Excellency may not know, but the Orientals have an army of 100,000 people, there is no doubt about this, the people I sent out will not be wrong after many statistics." In the face of such a large number of soldiers and horses, how can we hold on for two days? Unless the army on the Istrian heights can appear in time for the rear of the Easterners, how can we do it on our own? ”
"Lord Duke, there are some methods that should be used, as far as I know, there are more than 2,000 young and strong men in Festac City today, and there are also 4,000 men over the age of ten who are concentrated, plus young women, it is a large force. We have to do everything we can to make it possible to hold out for two days," John said eloquently, at this time he was not a holy priest, but more like a jurisprudence who was constantly calculating for the sake of victory. Mazovia frowned very hesitantly, he didn't want to use this method, so that those civilians would probably suffer heavy casualties, but in the end, he nodded with difficulty, for the benefit of the Conrad family, some things had to be done.
The people of the Conrad family used all the forces they could use, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were concentrated, and everyone contributed their own strength in order to resist the attack of the Dingguo army, which may be insignificant, but thousands of people and tens of thousands of people are gathered together, which is still a force that cannot be underestimated. At that time, the rumbling drums sounded, and the trebuchets began to exert their power again, and due to the huge workload, many trebuchets were overused and broke down and were badly damaged. But Xiao Zhiyun had no intention of stopping, and the pressure on Festaq City could not be stopped, and they had to be pressed to breathe. In fact, many things do not need Xiao Zhiyun's orders, and now there is only one Festac City left, and the time is pressing, and there is no other way to think of it, but to attack it. Gao Zhong and Shi Wengong were personally responsible for the command of the two directions, and in order to take Festaq in one fell swoop, Xiao Zhiyun invested 14,000 troops at one time.
Now we can only wait patiently, and the south side in charge of Gao Chong took the lead in the attack, and the vanguard of 2,000 people carried the ladder and pounced on the fortified city in front of them under the cover of the longbowmen. These people were both Slavs and Mongols, and at this moment, they were close comrades-in-arms and had the same goal, to take Festak and seize the kingdom of Saxony. Pushkin, a hunter from the Caucasus Mountains, did not have any great dreams, he only knew that in the most difficult time, it was the regent of the East who saved the lives of his entire family. He is a man of gratitude, and he has only one goal for the rest of his life, which is to fight for the Emperor of the East and expand his territory, and he is the sharp knife in the hands of the regent. Carrying a wooden shield in his left hand, Pushkin rushed towards the city like a beast. A piece of rolling wood fell, Pushkin roared angrily, and the wooden shield flicked it aside, "Ah.... Prussian slaves, grandpa is here ...."
For these Prussians, Pushkin was contemptuous, these people did not have their own land at all, they were just constantly subservient to others, they were not at all worthy of being a great warrior. The Conrad family, who are nothing more than wild dogs around Lothair, how can they compare to the regent? A stone fell down his cheek, and the sharp stone cut through the skin, leaving a deep scar, Pushkin was already rough and majestic, and at this time there was a bloody mark on his face, which looked extremely hideous. He grinned and fell into the eyes of the defenders as if he had seen a demon. A Prussian civilian, who had just come into contact with the battlefield, saw Pushkin's menacing smile and screamed in fright and couldn't help but retreat.
In the distance, Gao Zhong continued to observe the progress of the siege through the clairvoyant mirror, and when he saw that he was getting closer and closer to the city, he couldn't help but wave his hand and said, "Very good, let the longbowmen get close to the city wall immediately, no matter what the cost, you must suppress the defenders and reduce the pressure on the siege personnel." ”
When the longbowman gets close to the wall, he will inevitably put himself within the range of the opposing crossbowman's fire, and the damage will definitely be great. But Gao Zhong thought it was worth it, and as long as he could get to the top of the city, the longbowmen's sacrifice would be meaningful. The military orders were like a mountain, and the soldiers did not have any suspicions at all, even if there was a huge risk involved, the longbowmen still approached the city wall without hesitation. Although there is a shield hand to protect, but in the face of overwhelming projectiles, there are still people falling, the soldiers of the Dingguo Army at the cost of their lives, constantly suppressing the defenders of the city, it is the bows and arrows they throw in time, so that the besiegers win a chance to breathe. Seeing that there was a hole in the defense of the city, Pushkin took a flying claw from his waist and accurately hooked the battlements, and then his bear-like body grabbed the flying claw rope and ran up quickly. This is Pushkin's unique skill as a hunter, which is usually used to climb large trees, and is also used in siege cities, and the effect is also obvious. Pulled out the steel knife and directly cut the stunned Prussians in front of him to the ground. Pushkin was born with divine powers, lived in the mountains all the year round, and practiced a strange knife technique, and for a time the Prussians were cut down by him. With Pushkin opening the way, more people rushed up the ladder, and it didn't take long for a man dressed in silver-gray chain mail with a spear to rush up, and this person was the commander Ren Phenol. A commander actually went to the head of the city in person to fight a bloody battle, and the soldiers all marched forward bravely. Ren Phenol and Pushkin are like a pair of humming two generals, leading the soldiers to continue to rush and kill, the gap is widening wider and wider, when one-third of the west city wall falls into the hands of the Dingguo army, it also indicates that the battle for the city wall is a foregone conclusion, with the strong combat effectiveness of the Dingguo army, the Prussians want to fight back, it is difficult to climb to the sky.
The offensive and defensive battle on the west was in full swing, but the east that Jerusha was in charge of was in a bitter battle, Mazovia was personally in charge of the eastern defense, the Prussians were as brave as taking medicine, and the death squads sent by Jerusha pounced on the city several times, and all of them were defeated, which can be described as heavy losses. If it weren't for the urgency of the military situation, Jerusha would never have used this kind of fighting style, "What about Ziggy?" Let Zig come to me, send out the guard battalion, and be sure to take the eastern wall. ”
"Yes" Not long after the guards left, Zig hurriedly ran over, just met, Yerusha raised his foot and kicked Zig to the ground, so he still didn't understand the hatred, Yerusha pointed at Zig and scolded angrily, "Zige, how did you command?" It's been fought just now, why did you retreat again, what are you eating, do you want Ben to go up and fight in person? ”
Ziggy hurriedly got up from the ground, stood up sharply, and said in a loud voice, "General, you give the last general another chance, this time the last general will definitely be able to knock down the city wall, otherwise, the last general will leave his head on the city wall." ”
Yerusha glared at Qi Ge, waved his hand and snorted, "Ben will give you another chance, this time Ben will transfer the personal guard battalion to you, if you can't beat the city wall, you will hand over the command to Yu Xiaochen, do you understand?" ”
"Yes, the last general understands" Qi Ge's face was red and white, Yu Xiaochen was Concubine Xiao's confidant, if the command was temporarily taken away by Yu Xiaochen, what would be the reaction to this matter in the eyes of the princess? He Qige can't afford to lose this face, even if he dies, he will die in the city, and he can't let Yu Xiaochen see the joke. Ziggy also let go, maybe after becoming a commander, he became less courageous, but at this juncture, no matter how much he spared his life, he had to go up.
Before Ziggy could leave, Nokicalf hurried on horseback, and as he dismounted, he shouted, "General, the western city wall has broken through, and now General Gao's headquarters has occupied most of the city wall. Concubine Xiao ordered you to give up the east as soon as possible, and instead attack the southern city wall, cooperate with General Gao's headquarters, and quickly open the west city gate. In addition, it has just been reported that Pope Gregory has sent an armed corps of churches, which is moving in the direction of Festaq. ”
"Great, Gao Changke finally didn't disappoint" Yerusha clenched his fists and yelled at Qige, "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and mobilize people to attack the southern city wall, you must cooperate with General Gao to seize the west gate, if you can't take the outer city wall before today's Youshi, Lao Tzu will pick your skin." ”
Yerusha is really angry with Zig, this guy's courage is no longer what it used to be, if he still has the pride of breaking into Longtan alone, he would have made a gap in the east city wall a long time ago. If it weren't for the time of employing people, he would be thrown directly to the gang soldiers as a man for a period of time. Nokicalf can only sympathize with Zige's suffering, but he doesn't dare to say anything, at this time to speak for Ziger, maybe he will have to implicate himself, and then he will be demoted to carry the marching pot like Commander Cao, so how can he live?
The breakthrough of the western city wall is tantamount to a huge breakthrough for the entire Festaq war, this is a good opportunity to take Festak, in order to cooperate with the war in the west, Jerusha not only divided his troops to the east, but also concentrated his forces to launch a fierce attack on the south, which greatly reduced the pressure on the high pet department. As soon as the southern defenders who were busy helping the defenders of the western city wall were attacked, they hurriedly withdrew to defend the city, and under the sudden decrease in pressure, Ren Phenol and Pushkin and others were greatly emboldened, and they took advantage of this momentum to squeeze directly to the south, and now the defenders of the western front have been forced to near the Yongdao stairs. The Prussians resisted with difficulty, but more and more soldiers of the Dingguo Army reached the top of the city, and in half an hour, it had reached more than 2,000 people. The situation of the western wall soon reached the ears of Mazovia, and when he heard that the western wall was about to fall, Mazovia's whole person was stunned, and it was only a long time before the easterners opened a gap. We must do everything we can to block these Orientals, and let them rush out of the corridor and open the city gates, and then they will be powerless. At Mazovia's urging, the reserve in the lord's palace was sent up, and a fresh force of nearly 1,500 men arrived at the western wall, which was like a booster that made the Prussians more aggressive. Ren Phenol attacked Yongdao twice, and was beaten back, so angry that he spat and scolded, "What the hell, why did the Prussians suddenly want to take medicine?" It seems that it is difficult to defeat Yongdao, Pushkin, yes is you, your kid led people around to attack the southern city wall, and he was responsible for containing Prussian reinforcements, and he must cooperate with General Yelu to take the southern city gate. Now that most of the Prussian forces were drawn to the east and west, the southern city was certainly weak in defense. ”
After speaking, he was afraid that Pushkin would not understand, so he stretched out his hand and pointed to the side of the guide, waved his hand and made a head-killing motion. Pushkin really didn't understand what Ren Feng said, but he still understood the gesture, he nodded, hastily bandaged the wound, and led a group of people to rush south. The defenders of the southern city wall were flanked and taken by surprise, and while the city was in chaos, Zig led the men to rush up. At this time, Ziggy was holding back the fire in his stomach and had nowhere to vent. The gap in the south city wall opened, Yelu Sha quickly gathered troops and horses, ready to rush in from the city gate at any time, he was thinking about the plan after entering the city, but saw Yu Xiaochen hurrying over, "General Yelu, pass on the message of His Royal Highness, order you to go to the Shuai tent as soon as possible, and the affairs here will be taken over by the last general, this is His Highness's warrant." ”
After that, Yu Xiaochen handed the token to Yelusha, Yelusha was depressed, and seeing that he was about to attack, Yu Xiaochen actually ran over to pick peaches. However, Yerusha is not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation, His Royal Highness called him back at this time, something big must have happened, "Yu Xiaochen, you kid are ready to attack the city, it is estimated that the south gate will be opened soon." ”
Commanding Yu Xiaochen a few words, Yelusha galloped wildly, and hurriedly returned to the camp of the Chinese army, at this time there were still many people in the tent, even Xiao Zhiyun, who was in charge of the front-line war, also returned to the tent. Seeing that everyone's expressions were more serious, Yerusha asked a little inexplicably, "Your Highness, what happened, so anxious to call the last general back." A breakthrough has just been made on the southern side of the city wall, and it is estimated that the city gate will be opened soon. ”
Zhao Yougong raised his hand and motioned for Yelu Sha to sit down first, and then Sanniang, who was sitting next to Zhao Yougong, said loudly, "General Yelu, it is really a last resort to call you back from the front line, the scouts in front have just sent back the news that the Church Armed Corps from the Hohenzollern region is already less than fifty miles away from Festark, and the first 4,000 cavalry is estimated to arrive within two hours. After the decision of His Highness and Mr. Dongfang, you and General Yang will lead two lines of troops and horses to resist the church corps, and be sure to block the church corps to the west of Festaq. Because the Germanic garrison on the side of Psk is also approaching us, how the two Germans can join forces together will cause us great trouble. ”
After taking Sanniang's words, Zhao Yougong said slowly, "You and Shao Lie went together to resist the people of the church, but this king can't give you too many soldiers and horses, 5,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, this is the maximum force that this king can give you." If you have any other requests, please do so, and if the king can do it, he will grant it to you." Although the Kipros army is now being attacked from many sides, Zhao Yougong's expression is quite calm, and he does not show the slightest panic because of this crisis. Over the years, so many winds and waves have come over, and they will not be frightened by the situation in front of them, the only thing to worry about is nothing more than the church corps, if they are not defeated as soon as possible, then attacking Yumsburg will become a big problem. For the Dingguo Army, time is everything.
Yang Zaixing didn't say anything, Yelusha thought about it again and again, and said very seriously, "Your Highness, the last general has only one request, I hope that His Royal Highness can transfer the Ruifeng battalion over, as long as there is a sharp front battalion, the last general guarantees that he will work together with General Yang, not only to defeat the church corps, but also to open the way to Yumsburg for His Highness, if it can't be done, the last general is willing to be dealt with by military law." ”
The Ruifeng Battalion is definitely the elite of the elite in the army, this is Zhao Yougong's personal guard, but Zhao Yougong did not hesitate at all, he nodded very happily, "The Ruifeng Battalion can be handed over to you, and this king doesn't need you to do more, but he must defeat the church corps." If they can't exterminate this church army, it will be a big trouble in the future, and now they are tired from long distances, and they are tired of people, and it is a good opportunity to start. ”
Zhao Yougong happily agreed, and Yang Zaixing's face also had a smile, he can also serve as the commander of the Ruifeng Battalion, how powerful this army is, he knows better than anyone else, and it is not an exaggeration to say that one is ten. The military situation was urgent, Yerusha and Yang Zaixing thanked them and left in a hurry, Xiao Zhiyun was not in a hurry to leave, rested for a while, then got up and said, "It is estimated that the time is almost up, there should be news from Festak City, do you want to go and see it together?" ”
"Let's go together" Zhao Yougong stood up, stretched his waist easily, and in the face of many difficulties, he still had a calm and unhurried ease, which is also what Xiao Zhiyun likes about him. Zhao Yougong walked out of the tent with Xiao Zhiyun, as for Sanniang, she stayed, and the garrison of Psk City will catch up soon, and she has to cooperate with Dongfang Jin to block the Psk garrison. This is a tired army, it is not enough to deal with it at all, Dongfang Jin has already dealt with it.
The battle of Festaq gradually became clear, and under Yu Xiaochen's supervision, the south city gate had been opened, and a large number of soldiers of the Dingguo Army rushed in along the south city gate. Opening a city gate means that the whole of Festaq, and it is only a matter of time before the Festaq resistance is resolved. Seeing Zhao Yougong and Xiao Zhiyun coming together, Yu Xiaochen couldn't help but be surprised, "Your Highness, Princess, now that the war is not over, please return to the Chinese army." ”
"Okay, don't make a fuss, if it's still dangerous to stand here, then the king will doubt your ability" Zhao Yougong naturally won't go back, let alone Xiao Zhiyun, holding a clairvoyant mirror in his hand, slowly observing the Festak siege. As Zhao Yougong said, as more and more soldiers of the Dingguo Army rushed in, the resistance of the Prussians had become weaker and weaker. In the middle of the last hour, the red background and white horse family flag belonging to the Conrad family fell to the ground, and the golden double dragon flag representing the Great Song Empire was waving in the wind at the head of the city. Festak finally beat down, Zhao Yougong smiled slightly, took Xiao Zhiyun's hand and walked side by side towards the city gate, starting from the south city gate, extending all the way to the city lord's mansion on the central street, the streets were all lined with soldiers of the Dingguo Army, some of them were injured, some were intact, at this time they all stood on both sides of the street and shouted loudly, yellow skin, white skin, black eyes, blue eyes, different people, proud of this moment, whether it was the Slavs or the original Song people, they all felt a kind of glory as the Great Song Empire," Regent.... Regent.... Great Song.... Great Song... Imperial Victory...."
With arms outstretched and the crowd cheering, the glory of the moment belonged to every Song citizen, with Festak, who not only occupied the throat to the kingdom of Saxony, but also kept the Germanic people of the Istrian plateau out. At this time, Zhao Yougong could say without hesitation, "Lothair, you can't come back!" ”
Walking through the crowded streets, enjoying the cheers one after another, the soldiers were so happy that they shed countless blood to finally take this magnificent city. In the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Yougong looked at the two people in front of him with a smile, these two were none other than Mazovia and Pastor John. It was this Mazovia, the Imperial soldiers paid a heavy price, but Mazovia surrendered. Xiao Zhiyun whispered a few words next to Zhao Yougong, just to remind him that Mazovia can't stay, this kind of two-faced person can't believe it at all, if Mazovia surrenders early, it can also show that this person has a long-term vision, but surrendering when there is no hope can only show that he is not smart enough, and he is vicious, and anyone can betray him when he is forced to do so. As for Pastor John, this is already a dead man, and since he has decided to suppress the power of the church, he can't give the church a good face, "Come on, drag these two out and cut them down." ”
Several soldiers walked in and dragged Mazovia and John out, Mazovia was a little unresponsive, and shouted loudly, "Honorable regent, why do you want to do this, the subordinates have already surrendered, and if you do this, won't it chill the hearts of countless subjects?" ”
"Hmph, there are many ministers under this king's command, why did he kill you? The reason is very simple, you don't know how to lift, don't you know that this king has a mortal enmity with the church, but this priest is still alive and well" Zhao Yougong pointed at John, waved his hand in disgust, Mazovia's face instantly turned miserable and pale, he finally understood, he was not wrong to surrender, but it was not the right time to surrender. As for John, that's just a reason for the regent of the East, Xiao Zhiyun just rightly added, "The Conrad family colluded with the church to surrender to the empire, intending to murder the regent, and their crimes are unforgivable." ”
The translator translated the words accurately, Mazovia gave up the struggle, there was only remorse on his face, stupid, how could he believe John's nonsense in the first place, if he surrendered earlier, how could there be all these troubles? John had a good idea and held on for two days, hehe, but Festaq couldn't hold on for even a day. I really shouldn't have listened to John, the Conrad family shouldn't have made a wedding dress for the church. It's too late to regret, there are all kinds of medicine in this world, but there is no regret medicine. Mazovia's death heralded the end of an era in which the aristocracy of the Lothair family would be reshuffled, and the mighty kingdom of Saxony would henceforth become someone else's territory.
On the other side, Suggs's army of Pske City finally came to the Dawn Plains, a huge army had been waiting for a long time, seeing this army, Suggs's heart sank to the bottom, he knew that Festak City was in danger. However, Sugus still has a glimmer of luck, what if the Conrad family keeps Festak? Sven Gong looked proudly at the Pske garrison, they were sleepy, but their own side was waiting for work, the other side had no chance of winning this battle, the only question was how much it would cost. Sugus also knew how stupid it was to have a head-on collision with the other party at this time, but he had no choice, in order to save Festaq City, even if there was a sea of swords and fires in front of him.
Raising his hand, the army of Psk City began to line up in formation, although Shi Wengong's department was only 20,000 people, but the five phalanxes were maintained very tightly, without the slightest panic, the cavalry was also gearing up, riding forward, and the chain of horses had been assembled. On the dawn plain, when a bloody battle was about to break out, a troop of cavalry came from a distance, each with a head in his hand, and threw his head on the ground and flew away. Human heads were placed on the ground, and looking at those heads, someone finally exclaimed, "That... That's the Duke of Mazovia .... That's Pastor John......"
Boom, the army of Psk City was struck by lightning, and Sugus also showed a miserable smile, there was no need to fight, the Orientals threw their heads here, the purpose was too obvious, that is, to hit the morale of the Psk army. People are sleepy, their morale is completely lost, and if they really want to go to war, the Oriental people will gladly laugh at this military achievement. Mazovia's head is here, which means that Festak has changed hands, and without Festak, no amount of fighting is meaningless.
Sugus could afford to put it down, he raised his hand and glanced deeply in the direction of Festek, and then slowly turned the horse's head. The army of Pske City withdrew, and Shi Wengong did not order a pursuit. The Pske army is no longer a problem, and as time goes by, they will only become more and more passive, so why sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain at this time?
The army of Psk City withdrew, and the church corps on the other side also encountered big trouble, they encountered the army led by Yang Zaixing and Yelusha on the way, and the vanguard cavalry had no nonsense at all, and directly began to fight together. Yang Zaixing took the cavalry of the Ruifeng battalion as the vanguard, and directly tore apart the cavalry formation of the church, and Yerusha led the infantry to force over from the flank, and the Hohenzollern cavalry belonging to the church immediately felt infinite pressure. In order to preserve their strength, the Hohenzollern cavalry could only retreat temporarily. The two sides confronted each other near the Bulesi River, and for a time no one could help anyone. Yang Zaixing tapped his forehead with some concern, and looked at the battle map in front of him with blazing eyes, "General Yelu, the Church Corps seems to know the situation of Festark, they are now bent on preserving their strength, how should we find fighters?" General Yelu must not forget that His Royal Highness has instructed that this church army must be defeated. ”
"Shaolie, what do you think will be the reaction of the Church Corps if we make a posture of attacking Yumsburg," Jerusha asked seriously, he had an idea in his mind, but he was not mature. Yang Zaixing also has a unique way in terms of strategy, and he quickly figured out Yelusha's intentions, "General Yelu, are you trying to use Yumsburg to transfer the church corps to fight?" This idea is good, but there is a problem, Yumsburg has a lot of defenders, with the strength in our hands, we can't defeat Yumsburg in a short time, we know this, and the people of the church corps also know it, will they be in this evil way? So it's hard to get this trick to work. ”
"Well, what Shao Lie said is very true" Jerusha nodded slightly, this matter was really taken for granted, and both of them frowned. After a long time, Yang Zaixing said with some disbelief, "Yang has a method, that is, it is too dangerous, we can cross the Bulesi River at night and attack the church army." ”
"Shao Lie, are you crazy? This kind of ghost weather, diving across the Bulesi River, who can withstand it, brothers? Yelusha raised his eyebrows a little staggeringly, Yang Zaixing's bad idea was more than dangerous, maybe he hadn't attacked the Germans yet, he was frozen to death first, "Shao Lie, don't mention this idea, if you can build a bridge, you can try a sneak attack." ”
