Chapter 10: The Inevitable Fall of the Future
The battle between the Janissaries of the October Knights and the English Noble Guard did not last long, and in short, the victory was decided almost in a single face. However, this is not because the noble guards of the English are very dish, but because of the "Rose Repeater" in the hands of each of the October Janissary Knights.
Although the "Rose Repeater" is the top-of-the-line crossbow in the Pulen Royal City, its requirements for parts are too high, and even if the guide is disassembled from modern parts and assembled, it took the Pleon Royal City three months to assemble only thirteen of them. Later, with the technological innovation of the Pleun Royal City, twenty-two rose repeaters were finally created in a row in the five months from September 0 to February 1, but the excessively high process requirements and harsh conditions made it difficult for the rose repeaters to be mass-produced, so they could only give priority to the supply of these high-quality crossbow arrows with excellent craftsmanship, lightness, and excellent rate of fire to the Praetorian Knights of the October Knights.
When both sides charged at the same time, the October knights took out their rose crossbows at their backs and aimed them at the English knights on horseback opposite, and then only heard a "Boom......! The sound of continuous shooting continued, and at close range, the opposite knight was almost hit without even dodging the gap, and then the whole person took off from the horse and rolled into the grass.
However, the Earl of England escaped by chance, but before he could react, Nee and the new lieutenant Ranfith attacked each other from both sides, jumping off their horses in one fell swoop, and then the earl was surrounded by the October knights who came later.
"What kind of knight are you!! The glory and pride of the knights have been tarnished by you!! Damn it! Despite the earl's incessant roar, the October knights showed little interest in his unwilling roar. Of course, except for Ni and Ranfis, none of the people present here were knights on the right track.
Even in the royal city of Puren, who was said to be the most likely to be the first to become a full-fledged knight nobleman, his predecessor was nothing more than a village guard, so even if he tried to imitate the noble chivalry of other knights to fight alone on the battlefield, Ni was accustomed to prioritizing the king's orders over his personal will. So...... It is estimated that it will be difficult for him to understand what true chivalry is in his life.
…………………………………………
From March 25 to the 1st year of the first year of Pulun, the royal city of Pulen captured Ronagonk, the largest foreign trade port in Wales.
In this first foreign war of the Pleon royal city, a total of nearly 430 soldiers were dispatched, and the number of casualties reached 76, 1 was seriously injured because he lost his shield and left the team without permission during the battle, and the rest were moderately or lightly injured, and the number of casualties was zero.
Overall, Tianxiang was quite annoyed that the casualties had reached nearly one-third, but after thinking about it, a group of recruits who had never seen blood had just entered the battlefield, and they were still facing the enemy's regular combat corps and a combined phalanx of foot knights, and at the same time, they had to face the enemy several times their size and continue to fight until the moment of counterattack came.
If you think about it, this is actually quite a remarkable achievement. This is also thanks to the hard training of the entire October Legion, which usually cries for dad and mother, and plays a great role. In particular, the establishment of a new class of soldiers, the Battlefield Wanderer First Aid Unit, greatly reduced the possibility of a large number of deaths among the Pulon soldiers.
Of course, it also has a lot of advantages in weapons and equipment, especially the "desert operation" of the last fallen troops. This was the decisive stroke that sealed the victory of the whole battle in one fell swoop, and the rapid reaction and agile cooperation of the soldiers also contributed a lot. From this point of view, the strategic goal of the Pulen Royal City to train soldiers in a targeted manner is still a sustainable future.
After the whole battle, the 500 troops of the English were completely defeated, and the attack of the Pulon legion was like a sharp spear, completely destroying the enemy's heart center and completely knocking the enemy to the ground!
After the capture of Lonagonk, the Pullen soldiers escorted the captives into the town, and the townspeople hid in their homes because of fear and fear, and watched in horror through the cracks in the doors and windows as the Pullen army walked through the streets.
The King of Pullon rode at the head of the procession, and he always liked to do this, leading the people behind him forever as king, and what he saw with his eyes was what the soldiers behind him were desperately trying to capture. He is a leader and a domineering person with super control, but this kind of character is in line with the identity of a king.
The captives were then pressed into a warehouse near the port, where hundreds of men were crammed into a small space, with their hands and feet tied and their mouths strangled with rags, so that they would not have to be afraid of making loud noises or intent on causing trouble.
Of course, the twenty Pulun soldiers guarding the warehouse had already piled up hay nearby, and according to King Puren's order, if there was anything abnormal in the warehouse, they were not allowed to go in to check it, let alone enter the warehouse alone, and they were all burned to death in it without worrying about anything.
Although it was said that all the enemies who surrendered must be killed according to the rules of the Pulon Legion, the Pulon soldiers still failed to do it in the process of execution. After all, in the face of a group of humans lying on the ground covering their eyes and screaming miserably, you let the family go over and stab them twice at this time, anyway, it's really a bit of something, right?
At first, some of the Pullen soldiers strictly enforced the Pullen military law, and beheaded and killed more than a dozen combat-ready Englishmen on the spot. However, killing and killing, these soldiers couldn't help but stop, and at this time, their faces covered by sackcloth were full of distorted and struggling expressions, which was the conflict and opposition between their inner humanity and their nature of obeying orders as soldiers!
If this extremely contradictory state of mind is allowed to spread among the soldiers, it will have the same effect as detonating a biobomb on the spot, and the consequences will be catastrophic, destroying the entire base of the October Legion, and even splitting the Legion and dividing the soldiers into human and natural factions.
However, it was at this time that King Pullen gave the order, and although he did not directly say that he would revoke the military order, his meaning was clearly conveyed to all the soldiers. That is, this group of soldiers who have lost their combat ability and surrendered can be spared.
"I've made a mistake this time. A little underestimation of human nature......" The king of Pullen at that time stood alone, looking at the group of soldiers who had been pardoned.
"After all, these people are not the group of thieves who have become murderous, their predecessors were serfs, commoners, craftsmen and fishermen. Even after experiencing the first battlefield, it was not enough to see the blood. There is still a remnant of the weakness and goodness of human nature in their hearts. Although, this isn't a bad thing, and being a future Legion is not what I want...... However, for the sake of future plans, it is necessary to adapt these students to this kind of killing. ”
"But I can't rush it. If I forcibly oppress these people and torture the prisoners of war, I am afraid that it will sow the seeds of rebellion in their hearts, and some people will begin to question and even shake my rule itself, and then it will be more than worth the loss......"
"There is no need for the sake of the near future, for the sake of the near future, they will sooner or later get used to killing the hostile soldiers who have killed their companions, even without my orders. What is needed now is time for this group of pawns to get used to blood, to killing, to losing and taking, and then when they come to their senses, their hearts are already numb to it...... My goal has been achieved, and the city of Pullon will have a group of loyal, fearless, and unwanted killers. ”
Gritting his teeth and nails, King Pullen looked at the group of October soldiers who were cleaning the battlefield, and he sighed with a slightly helpless and depressed tone, "...... Bear with me for now. The kindness of this group of soldiers only exists now, tomorrow, and even in a few months. Then, sooner or later, one day their humanity and goodness will fall or even lose their original sensibility. Even if I don't persecute them, the world will push them down that path, because the world is not gentle at all. ”
King Pullen slowly closed his eyes, as if wondering where he was going next.
……………………
In short, the battle is over, but the war does not stop there.
It won't be long before the English should hear about this, and when the time comes, they will inevitably send their mighty forces to attack the city of Pullen. However, their northern legions were currently overwhelmed by the Scots, and the southern and eastern legions had to defend against the French, who could cross the river at any time after Norman's death.
Therefore, it should be almost impossible for the English to draw much more troops against themselves in the short term, or in the four or five months before the death of the King of England and after his death, before the external situation has calmed down. After all, they can't transfer the large legions of thousands of people, and the arrival of the small legions is just to increase the proficiency of the October Legion and the Fallen Sky Force in the King of Puren.
Therefore, for a long time in the near future, the royal city of Pulen should not have to worry about retaliation from the English.
It's just that the enemies that the city of Pullon has to face are not only English, and sometimes the inexplicable appearance of enemies will often surprise you......
