Chapter Seventy-Four: Return

After seven or eight days in Limerick, the Earl of Don the Younger set out again with his army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, the target is indeed Bigerforne That's right, Duke Eddard's messenger came to North Munster with a cry, all the way to the south to find Count Don Jr. for help, if Count Don Jr. doesn't go, Bigerfone will really be occupied by the mob, and Duke Ed will probably die without a place to bury at that time!

But to be honest, Count Don Jr. didn't want to go, at least not at this time.

Undoubtedly, this is a very hateful job, you helped Duke Ed put down the rebellion, Duke Ed may not be grateful to you, but those peasants who have been suppressed by you will definitely hate you, and for no reason they will be back to the tank to attract hatred, this unjust pot, Count Tang thinks that he is not so stupid.

But he had to go, because this is the nobility, the nobility can go to war with each other, and the nobility can kill each other, as long as it is not revealed, but the only one who can kill the nobility must be time and the nobility, and nothing else, let alone killed by a group of rioting pariahs.

What's more, now Duke Ed has shown an unprecedented low profile - as a duke, he asked an earl for help, which is already a low profile, not to mention that he also promised that once Count Don was willing to save him, he would be willing to apologize to Count Don in public, and pay enough compensation - the price is still negotiable.

If Count Xiao Tang doesn't save him, then once Duke Ed dies, what 'jealousy', 'arrogance', 'narrow-mindedness', such a notoriety will be directly crowned on Count Tang's head, and he can't wash it off if he wants to.

Notoriety, on the other hand, will reduce the vassal's favorability, and even reduce the ruling base.

So the Earl of Don the Younger could only go, and he had to go as soon as possible, and on the first day he received a message from the messenger, and on the second day he was bidding farewell to the citizens of Limerick with his army. As for the parting, the reluctant eyes of the citizens of Limerick (mainly the free meat with limited places is gone), and the little Earl Don can only pretend not to see it.

It's a soldier, anyway, this meat is not paid for by them, and who is reluctant to give it away for nothing. When it was time to leave, they even sent to tell the citizens of Limerick to plough the land where they had camped in winter, for they had done the 'sacraments' there and had buried them in the ground, and that the coming year would be a great harvest.

Then it was a matter of hurry, hurry, and hurry, and without such a stop, it was not long before the Count of Don arrived at Bijeforne.

However, the inhabitants of Bigerfone were not necessarily welcome, and in fact, on the first day of his arrival, the Count of Don Jr. was ushered in an armed conflict.

Some mobs, not many mobs, probably more than a thousand people, were instigated by the careerists, who thought that the Count of Little Tang was another robber who took advantage of the fire, and that there was nothing to dare to do to burn and plunder, and that they had come specifically against them, the mob, so that it was easy for these careerists to gather enough of them to 'resist the foreign invaders' here.

The result is obvious, from the fact that I only use armed conflict instead of war, it can be shown, the peasants are generally not well fed and clothed, and they don't even have a complete set of clothes when they go to the battlefield, but the little Tang Earl's side has at least leather armor, and the farmers have not been trained enough, they don't even have enough weapons, and the little Tang Earl's side has big swords, iron wooden shields, and super long guns, especially super long guns, once the formation is opened, the farmers can't even get close.

The most important thing is that the peasants basically have no long-range projection power, that is, they do not have bows and crossbows, but the little Count Tang has horseback crossbowmen and crossbow archers, and several waves of crossbow arrows are shot out from afar, and the peasants who have suffered some casualties often collapse before they can withstand close combat - after all, the person who was still laughing beside you just now was killed by the crossbow arrow in the head in the blink of an eye, such a pressure is not something ordinary people can bear.

But even so, such a continuous armed conflict still seriously slowed down the speed of Count Xiao Tang's advance, after all, even if such an attack could not cause any damage to Count Xiao Tang, but it always took time for the soldiers to line up and then defeat the enemy one by one. And this time has dragged on, and Duke Eddard's castle has long been breached.

Moreover, not only the speed, but even the supply has been affected to a certain extent, the reason is very simple, the farmers have run out and rioted~ moved, so who will come to farm, and which businessman will dare to do business? Even if there were a few obedient villages, they were on very high alert, and no one was allowed to approach their villages—of course, if they really encountered a large army, like Count Don Jr., they should still be cowardly.

Therefore, Count Xiao Tang thinks that he can't drag it out any longer, and sooner or later there will be no good end, a spark can start a prairie fire, even if it's just a peasant who has nothing, but once they unite, this is the tide of the times, an unstoppable force, and Count Xiao Tang, he doesn't want to be an ant who can't do anything about himself.

"Hurry, soldiers, quick!"

At that time, this is what Count Xiao Tang said to his soldiers, although such a rapid march would consume a lot of soldiers' physical strength, and it was impossible to achieve seamless defense, but now there is not so much to care about.

Finally, on the evening of the third day, after another armed conflict, the Count of Don Jr. could finally see the shadow of Duke Eddard's castle.

However, what made Count Don so angry and half dead, he worked so hard to rescue Duke Eddard, and Duke Ed had a lot of luxuries in the castle, wine, roast suckling pig, suckling pig, suckling pig, swan meat, all of them - while the soldiers who guarded the castle for him could only accept black bread, and the mob who was ready to besiege the castle sometimes couldn't even afford to eat black bread!

This kind of thing is not without precedent, as if during the French Revolution, the people of Paris besieged the Bastille, and the warden Marquis Jeshenfo still feasted in the prison, and he even invited two revolutionaries to eat and talk, which is also a great spectacle!

So, why is Count Xiao Tang so hard?

His face turned black on the spot.

"Your Excellency Duke Ed, we should go."

"Let's go, but now the sun has set!"

Duke Ed had not yet spoken, and his wife, who had been a noble lady all her life, said this, and by the way, she said, "We haven't finished our dinner yet!"

"I'm sorry to say, ma'am, you only have these two choices now, first, you pack now, and then I will escort you away, and second, I will turn around and leave, and then you don't have to leave again."

Count Xiao Tang said with a cold face, but the Duchess's focus seemed to be different: "You! You call us you! Isn't it true that you have no education at all, and no one has taught you how to call someone higher than you?! ”

"Okay Babasha, stop talking." At this time, Duke Ed had to interject to stop the growing smell of gunpowder between his wife and Count Don. But in his heart, he also thought that Count Xiao Tang was a barbarian, and his every move was completely inconsistent with aristocratic etiquette.

"How could I lose to such a barbarian?"

That's what Duke Ed thought at the time. However, Duke Ed was more sober, and he knew that it was time for him to ask for help, so he chose to swallow his anger and reveal it for the time being.

"What do you say, go now, no problem, I'll let people pack their bags right away."

"Good." Count Tang nodded, worthy of being an opponent with some ability, at least he could still see the good and the bad, and immediately, as if he remembered something, he added: "I want half of all the valuable things in your castle, including gold and silver coins, your collectibles, and books."

"No problem, none of this is a problem."

When Duke Ed heard this, he agreed more quickly, and it was only half the money, and as long as he was a duke, he could have as many as he wanted when he gathered his soldiers and fought back—and this became a reason for him to despise the little Count Don, and only those barbarians and lowly merchants would not leave the money......

Although it was decided by discussion, it took until the evening just to prepare the luggage, and the boxes of gold and silver coins that were brought out of the duke's cellar surprised even the little Earl Tang! Count Don Jr. even felt that if Duke Ed was willing to give him his share, he wouldn't even have to buy people's hearts, and the mob would promise to be obedient at once.

But now that it belongs to Count Xiao Tang, Count Xiao Tang naturally laughed unceremoniously, and no one wanted to snatch it from him again.

In short, as a person who is still relatively trustworthy, Count Don Jr. finally sent Duke Ed safely to Archduke Mulchid, this is simply an interesting cycle, Archduke Mulchid first relied on Duke Ed, and now Duke Elder has been replaced by Duke Elder to Archduke Mulchid, the only thing they have in common is that they have both attacked Desmond, isn't this a prank of fate?

But all this has nothing to do with the little Count Tang who is on the way home, at this moment, his army is full of spoils, and he is happily walking on the long lost broad road, and the heart of the little Count Tang has drifted back to Desmond early, to this place that haunts his soul......
