Volume II: Responsibility

Chapter 1: Popularize the world of Lund Changle (Pulun), and indulge in the praise of this world of all primates (Wangcheng).

Section 1: St. George's Strait

…………………………………………………………………………

St. George's Channel, an important waterway between Wales and the island of Ireland in the United Kingdom, is about 160 kilometers long from north to south and 80-153 kilometers wide from east to west. Connected to the Irish Sea to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the south, it is a very important maritime trade network, and it is also one of the maritime trade routes that can be compared to the English Channel.

Time passed, and soon 1185 passed, and in the blink of an eye, the royal city of Pulen also ushered in the first anniversary of the founding of the state.

The month of March of the first year of the year of Puron was also April 1186 A.D.

Three extremely important things happened in the British Isles. The first thing was that William the Conqueror, the king of England, had collapsed in his hospital bed due to illness, and was unable to continue to intervene in the political storm that had occurred in England, but fortunately, his army was still very loyal, and suppressed the ambitions of the lords everywhere under a great deal of difficulty.

But William's fall gave the Scots a glimmer of hope, and in recent times the Scots had been recuperating for a year of recuperation, and the Southern Legion, which had been wiped out by the English last year, had been reorganized with the strong support of the King of Scotland, and the army was gathered forty miles north of Yorkshire.

Everyone knows very well what Scotland wants to do, just as everyone knows that once William dies, the politics of Britain will be instantly plunged into a bloody storm, and the Kingdom of France will not sit idly by and will definitely try their best to extend their tentacles to this island, and that is the last thing all English nobles want to see.

The second event was that the offensive and defensive battles on the Irish islands were also over, and as expected, the hundreds of Irish soldiers stationed in Dublin were defeated en masse, and the mixed army of the English managed to break through the three lines of Dublin in March, and drove straight into the city for three days and three nights.

After the defeat of the Irish army, the Prince of Ireland immediately announced his surrender and was willing to obey the orders of the King of England.

At this point, the Beishi Alliance, which was established to the destruction of Miè, completely collapsed in less than half a year. The English again succeeded in suppressing the revolt of the Irish and Welsh. However, sporadic revolts continued in Wales and Ireland, but invariably on a large scale, and were sufficient to be suppressed by the personal forces of the local nobility, so the Mixed Legion of England had begun to return to Yorkshire a month earlier to join up with the local Northern Legion.

And the most historic turning point on the island of England, and it is also the most important political event of the year!

After more than eight months of recuperation, the city of Pleon successfully completed various reforms in the country, including agricultural, military, political, technological innovation, and a great transformation from town to city. At the same time, it has also jumped from the original population of more than 1,000 to more than 2,700 people, and has become the largest force in the local area!

As for why the population suddenly increased by more than 1,000 people, it is actually thanks to the mixed army of the English who swept and plundered along the way, from the time they left York City to the time they entered the territory of Wales, they killed nearly thirty villages and eight towns, of which more than a dozen villages were burned and destroyed, most of them were Welsh villages, and a small number of English villages were destroyed.

A large number of displaced people were displaced, and it was the coldest month of the year in November. More than 1,600 civilians were killed as a direct result of the brutality of the English army, and more than 10,000 had to leave their homes in search of their next place in the snowy weather.

Fortunately, one of the branches of the tens of thousands of fleeing troops was very lucky to enter the sphere of influence of the Pulun King City, so the Pulun King City naturally took over this group of refugees, and fortunately, the food reserves are still very rich, after arranging the accommodation and food of this group of refugees, the Pulun King City selected these refugees with special skills and filled them into the Iron Ministry, while the other young adults were divided into two groups, one group entered the military training camp of the Pulun King City, There are also some who join the team of field cultivators.

Now, the royal city of Pullen has a regular army of 500 men and a reserve of 173 people. Melee infantry made up four-fifths of the total number of legions, or more than 400 out of 500 were melee. However, the Ministry of Iron has recently stepped up the development of the "bow and crossbow" system, and at the current rate, it should be two days before a 100-man crossbowmen force can be fully equipped.

Now, the city of Pulun is in a period of rising national strength, the country is strong, the food is abundant, and it is one of the largest armed forces within a radius of 100 miles, so King Pulun's mind naturally began to be active.

According to the report of the reconnaissance sentinel, a port town in Wales has been captured by the English, and a coalition of English earls and four other English nobles have captured the largest port town in Wales, Lonagonk.

The number of British troops stationed in the town was not large, about 400 or so. However, they had built a fairly strong fortification, and with a heavy cavalry legion of dozens of hoplites and knights, their current strength alone was enough to intimidate the Welsh people, who were now enslaved.

What's more, this British army itself has the task of acting as a nail to penetrate deep into the heart of Wales, that is to say, their task is to be instructed by the British high-level, and the troops naturally sent are also regular troops rather than some stragglers composed of peasant soldiers, which will bring a lot of obstacles to the attack on the royal city of Pullen.

……………………………………

The town of Ronagunk, on a hilltop three miles to the west.

Today's weather is very bad, there has just been a heavy rain, and the weather is extremely wet and cold.

The whole sky was overcast, giving people a very bad premonition.

With a thunderclap, the rain that had just stopped for a long time began to "roar" again.

"My king, let's go in." Ni wore a poncho made of linen and rode a black warhorse. Behind him were thirty-five heavily armed Praetorian cavalrymen, clad in chain mail, iron helmets and purple cloaks behind them.

The two Praetorian Guards at the head stood on either side of the procession, one on the left and one on the right, each holding a flag in their hands. The dark purple banner is embroidered with a white-edged rose of glory, and a cross is placed in the center. And this banner is the symbol of the Knights of the October Janissary Guard, the highest force of the royal city of Pleun.

This expedition to Lonagonk was the most important military operation in the city of Pulen, so King Pulon not only brought two-thirds of the country's military forces, but even the Knights of the Praetorian Guard. In addition to this, he was accompanied by three hundred Pulen soldiers and a hundred long crossbowmen.

The Pulon Legion was encamped fifteen miles west of Lonagonc, and King Pullen came to the front with his Knights of the Praetorian Guard and two marching commanders to inspect the battlefield in order to make arrangements in advance
