The war is over. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Although the most important cavalry decisive battle had not yet begun, and although the Lord Count of Brest was still gritting his teeth, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the war was over.

The conscripted peasants, the 'lowly,' the 'shameless,' the brutes who 'crouched on the ground like dogs, and could only raise their heads a little if they had the permission of their masters' (Count Brest', had already surrendered to the enemy.

There are many reasons for this, on the one hand, there are many persecutions from the earl, only to kill the head as a threat, forcing the conscripted peasants to retreat, if they do not want to die, they can only surrender to the enemy; On the other hand, there is also the promise made by Magnus.

No matter how much it is concealed, Brest is in Brittany after all, and the measures implemented by Magnus in Brittany in the last six months are scattered on the earth like sparks, igniting the enthusiasm of all the lower classes (including proletarians, peasants, and small craftsmen).

And with the circulation of the news, the name of Magnus's 'slaughterer' has long since disappeared, and all that remains is the praise of 'mercy' and 'hero'.

These praises are so much that even the unbelievers must be believed, not to mention the Brest peasants who themselves are in Brittany, and who have many relatives who work under Magnus!

It would be an exaggeration to say that they welcomed the king, but if their ruler was to change from the Count of Brest to Magnus, there would be no resistance in the hearts of the peasants.

Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than it is now.

In this way, it was easy for the peasant conscripts in the front row, as if they could not wait, to abandon their weapons - spears made of wood, hoes made of wood, things that could not be called weapons at all elsewhere - and surrendered on their knees.

As soon as the people in the front row knelt down, the people in the back row were learning and doing so at the time, and they were still shouting desperately just now (they didn't dare to come forward to fight but only dare to shout and cheer), which would lie down faster than anyone else, and the Earl of Brest in the big rear saw this scene, his chest was stuffy, and he almost didn't vomit out the blood in his heart.

"Hurry, hurry! Kill all these betrayers! ”

The angry Count said this, and the knights beside him were rather disgraced. After all, most of these conscripted peasant soldiers were still brought out by them from their respective fiefdoms, and now they will surrender when they say they surrender, where will they put the faces of their masters?

Magnus, of course, wouldn't just watch them raise their butcher knives.

Unlike the Earl, Magnus was a rarity for these peasant soldiers.

What is Magnus lacking most right now?

Money? Grain? Iron? Or a brave and bloodthirsty soldier?

No, none of these are any.

Money, what is money? In the final analysis, money is nothing more than a pile of metal or paper that has been forcibly given value, and what matters is not money, but the value it represents, and the value is embodied in the transaction, and the essence of the transaction is to use objects and foreign objects. In this era when there is no so-called "tertiary industry" and "virtual economy", whoever owns the land owns the "thing", and there is no doubt that Magnus, as the largest landowner in Brittany, has innumerable wealth.

And grain, as long as you have land, bread will be there, milk will be there, everything will be there; As for the iron ...... Ha! Even the hoes used by farmers to plough the land and the weapons used by soldiers to fight are made of wood, so it is the same with or without iron! Isn't it fair that no one has any?

In the end, the above are just icing on the cake, although some of them are indeed important, and can even be said to constitute the cornerstone of this society, but if there is no society, then what is the use of these cornerstones?

So, what exactly is Magnus missing?

He lacks men.

It is not a shortage of people, nor a shortage of women, but a shortage of men.

Especially young, healthy men who can act as strong laborers.

There were only more than 50,000 people in the Duchy of Brittany, and the men who could serve as strong laborers would not exceed 10,000 even if they were full. Magnus had already lost about a fifth of these able-bodied laborers in a war with the Duke of Brittany, and he could not afford to lose more.

After all, humans can't be compared to animals.

Take the data as an example: domestic broilers can be slaughtered in 35 days; Domestic meat ducks can be slaughtered in 40 days; Domestic pigs become fat and big in half a year; But it takes at least 16 years for a domestic person to grow from a baby to be able to start a family!

Treating people like animals is simply the greatest waste in the world!

Before, Magnus watched the Count of Brest, in order to force the conscription of peasant soldiers to advance, cut off the heads of seven strong laborers like mowing grass, and cut off his heads, which hurt my heart! If the Count had been in front of Magnus at that time, Magnus would have had to slap him seven times with his backhand!

Think of it, seven people, each cultivating thirty acres of land, and the output of these lands alone is enough to feed a family of five and have a surplus; Not to mention that people can give birth to people, one generation is seven, the second generation is twenty-one, the third generation is one hundred and forty-seven, and the fourth generation is ...... There is no shortage of children and grandchildren!

Call......

Magnus took a deep breath and forcibly gathered back his divergent thoughts.

Well, I have to admit that because victory is in sight, even Magnus, who has always been strict with himself, will inevitably get a little carried away.

But what's the big deal? He is the winner, and the winner has the capital and the right to cheer for himself!

If this turns the camera to Odega, to the loyal veteran, I am afraid that he will be even worse than Magnus's performance.

However, because he still has some sanity, Magnus is still very clear that he has not already won, but is only about to win, and there is still one last step between himself and victory.

"Order, the whole army attack!"

"Rush forward! Kill those bastards! ”

Two different voices, two different command styles, but both generals made the same choice at the same time, a total of eight hundred infantry and two hundred cavalry took a step at the same time, and this step was the sound of the horn to victory!

I'm not lying this time, the war is really over.
