Chapter 136: Arrangement
If there's one more thing in the world that can be called troublesome, it's over-writing chapters...... I mean post-war processing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because war, war, and war, important things have been said three times, war is exciting, war is bloody, war is ruthless, and after war, all that is left is potholes all over the ground, hideous scars, stumps and broken arms, emptiness and loneliness, and endless cries of the dead and wounded.
Such a scene is absolutely difficult to describe, a person's fall from hope to despair, and then madness in despair, and finally like ashes are mercilessly swept into the garbage heap, emptied, washed down the sewer, such a person's psychological changes, to be honest, I can't write about it.
Because I am not a ruthless person, I have feelings for books, and I always hope that any character in the book, whether he is good or bad, can have a good ending, at least die with dignity...... But maybe this time, the Little Tang Grand Guild is out of my control.
"Lord Duke, the rebels in the castle have sent a letter of peace, and they offer that they are willing to surrender and pay a ransom as long as you guarantee their lives."
Easily routed the isolated enemy army, in fact, the rebels who could only see in front of them did not even think that there would be an ambush in the woods on the other side of the river, and when Wade's quasi-knights took the lead and led the cavalry to tread the water (in fact, stepping on thick planks spread on the water), the invading enemy troops were immediately dumbfounded, and after only a very slight resistance, except for a few lucky ones who fled back to the castle, the others were taken prisoner or retired.
And now, only a day after the siege of the castle, the panicked rebels in the castle have already sent a letter of surrender, and the paper that little Odega is waving excitedly is the proof of the peace letter.
"We refuse."
But the little Tang Grand Duke didn't even look at it, didn't even bother to listen, and said straightforwardly, and Little Odega's smile suddenly froze on his face.
"Didn't I understand enough? We refuse any of their offers, and there is only one way for them to come, kneel down and lick my riding boots, and ask for my mercy, or die! ”
"But the Grand Duke, if you refuse, you will storm the castle and suffer ...... casualties."
"It's an order! Odega! Obey orders! ”
Little Odega was just about to admonish two sentences, from the perspective of the overall situation, from the perspective of loving the lives of the soldiers, refusing is definitely a hundred harms and no benefits, but the little Tang Grand Duke frowned and roared angrily, no matter how many words he had, he could only choke in his throat.
"Your Majesty, your will ......"
Little Odega reluctantly said this, and then turned around, ready to write a reply letter for the little Tang Duke that was impossible to accept, and the little Tang Duke only shook his head and sighed when he saw it, it was still a matter of vision, and the little Odega was still too shallow.
Of course, the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang has become brutal for no reason, and he is not the kind of pervert who wants to kill a few people to relieve his boredom when he is in a bad mood, but this is a warning, to make it clear, it is to kill chickens and monkeys.
The chickens were, of course, the rebellious knights, and the monkeys, of course, were the Earls of Kildel, the Earls of Osoruny, and the Earls of Leinster.
For the way of the king, both virtue and virtue. Before Wei Geng was in Germany, there was Wei to be virtuous, but before in North Munster, the little Tang Grand Duke was very simple, in front of the earl knights present, in front of everyone in front of the head of Prince Dialmat, at that time, in order to win over a few counts, he had to give virtue first, and now, it is the time to show his will.
The Earl of Kildel and the Earl of Osoruny, in particular, have heard that you have been very close lately, and both have the intention of forming a family of sons and daughters--of course, I am not against the marriage of your children, and this has nothing to do with me--but your secret connections, secretly preparing to form an alliance, and thinking of bringing in all the Earls of Leinster, and doing such a small act under my nose, is that a bit excessive?
Therefore, this is a warning to warn the rebellious Earl of several counts what will happen to them: 'You bastards, I have made it clear to me before I join forces privately, I can accept your little actions, but anyone who dares to raise the flag of rebellion will not die, and I will never accept any surrender', this is the subtext of the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang.
Besides, the little Tang Grand Duke is not unsure of this, if he loses a large number of elite cavalry just for the sake of a moment of anger, it is purely a ruined act, and it is not worth it - please don't forget, the spy of the insider is still lurking in the castle!
Now is the time for these spies to do their job! Although this will definitely sacrifice some spies, but the spy thing originally appeared for sacrifice, and besides, sacrificing spies is much more worth than sacrificing cavalry. It only takes a month or two to train a spy, but it takes two or three years to train a cavalryman!
"Tell the spies of Leith that when it's night, they will secretly open the city gates and let us in to kill the enemy."
"Yes, Grand Duke."
As soon as Wade's quasi-knight bowed his head, he accepted the order without hesitation, and then went out to find the insider Liss who was lurking there in a corner, and the insider's was not ambiguous, and took out a whistle in front of Wade's quasi-knight, and the whistle blew but there was no sound, but for some reason, the owl in the cage next to the insider suddenly became violent, blowing for a long time and being furiously short, and blowing for a short time was furiously short, so it blew two long and two short, and the owl was tormented and had no strength, Insider Liss stopped his movements and said to Wade's would-be knight, "Please tell the Lord that everything is ready." ”
"It's just a character...... But it's still very useful, for the sake of the Grand Duke's hegemony, I have to cooperate with him a lot. ”
Seeing this kind of thing happen that was completely beyond his comprehension, Wade's quasi-knight was really shocked to the extreme, and at the same time thought so in his heart. But thanks to the fact that he had a poker face, and the so-called shock was expressionless in the end, he just nodded coolly, and then turned and left, which made the reckless and energetic insider Liss excited.
However, since the preparations are complete, there is nothing to say, and the ending is already predestined.
The rebels in the castle are indeed on guard, patrolling, keeping vigils as well. But they never imagined that the squire/groom/cook, who they had known a year and a half ago and had been staying in the castle, and even the mule driver who poured dung, would be the spies of the little Tang Grand Duke!
The wrong move that I made when I was blind everywhere turned out to be able to play a role! Especially at the beginning, the ten spies sent to Ormond by Count Don in the first year of travel, although they have not undergone any training, but it is because of nature that they can hide from Prince Diarmat's eyes, and they have been in Ormond for three years, and one of them even married and had children here, and there is no difference between them and the real Ormond people!
The backlash of these people is like sticking a dagger directly into the heart of a rebel, and there is no way to save it.
"So...... So be it, the knights at the head were all stripped of their knightly titles, and their wives and children, regardless of their age, were reduced to slavery and sold to the slave market in England, where the merchants would be quite happy to suddenly have such a large number of slaves, and the remaining accomplices ......"
Accomplices refer to the rebels' private soldiers, or their knightly attendants, this group of people just follow their masters, and do not have many thoughts of their own, and the punishment is too heavy to be somewhat inappropriate. So, the little Tang Grand Duke groaned and said:
"Capital crimes can be avoided and living crimes cannot be escaped, and all the remaining accomplices will be added to the army, and from today onwards, the army will add a new battalion, which will be called the War Criminals Battalion! Go and tell the accomplices that as long as they can survive five years in the war camp, I will give them land and freedom! ”
"Your will, Your Majesty."
Convinced, little Odega bowed his head respectfully, and breathed a deep sigh of relief, but got rid of the first evil, and took a lenient approach to the accomplice, the Grand Duke is still the same kind Grand Duke as before, it is really good!
"Also...... Feed! Ormond, are you listening? ”
"Yes, yes, My Majesty, I'm listening."
I was distracted for a while and missed some of what the little Tang Grand Duke said, which led the little Tang Grand Duke to frown, and when he heard this shout, little Odega immediately came back to his senses and hurriedly responded like this.
"Well, tell me to let all the cavalry hurry up and rest, tomorrow night we will set off to Connaught and the Knights of Alcoba, and prepare to fight Duke Ed to the death!"
