Section 56 Retreat
The Grand Chief of Pomerania did not choose to go to Watergast, but instead Shi Shiran led his 5,000 troops in the direction of Hamburg County in the south, this decision made the vassals of Pomerania a little confused, but it was obvious that the Grand Chief of Pomerania did not want to directly rescue Kang Tuoyi, in his opinion, even if he helped Kang Tuoyi defeat the invaders at this time, the Great Chief would not gain any benefits.
"What the hell is the Great Chief trying to do?" Tim asked curiously.
"I don't know, but I'm guessing his destination is the weakness of the Germanic defenses." Chief Bazel said thoughtfully, not to rescue the close Kang Tuoyi, but to lead the army south to take another road, which is a very unreasonable thing in itself, but Bazel, who is familiar with the Pomeranian Grand Chief, felt his pulse, and it is better to find the weak point of the Germanic people than to rescue him www.uuxs.cc
"Weak point, where is that? Hamburg is the domain of the East Franconian kingdom, taken from us Slavs, does the Great Chief want to regain the lost territory? Chief Tim asked, puzzled.
"Anger the kingdom of East Francia? No, I don't think so. "Chief Bazel knew that although it was rumored that Henry the Bird Catcher was seriously ill, the Kingdom of East Francia was still a large country, and the Grand Chief of Pomerania would not erect such a strong enemy, and he would definitely choose a smaller target.
The Pomeranian nobles followed the great chieftain in doubt, and at this time the army trained in Mecklenburg was fully equipped, and walked out of the training camp and marched all the way to Watergast, ready to join up with the marti of Willleburg, the Mecklenburg regiment marched very fast, they did not carry heavy baggage and miscellaneous troops, the baggage grain was placed on the pack horses, and the soldiers themselves carried several days' dry rations, without the drag of the women's battalion and miscellaneous servants of this era, they could go on the road more lightly.
"Kress, tell us what the war is all about." The Mecklenburg Legion was made up of many young soldiers, some of whom were the sons of nobles, some of whom were bankrupt craftsmen from the towns, and some of whom were young peasants who wanted to own their own land and were attracted by military exploits, who had not experienced any war, and who had come more from the stories and legends of the fire, and when they had walked five or six miles, the legion rested according to the rules of military discipline, and these young soldiers would gather around the veterans among them to inquire.
"War? To fight is to take out the enemies that stand in your way and try to keep yourself alive. "Kreze, a non-commissioned officer converted from a German mercenary, sat on the ground and took the hard bread graciously handed over by the young soldiers, and he was the leader of this twelve-man squad.
"Oh, how boring, how can war be so boring to you, think of the heroes of Charlemagne's time, who defeated their enemies with swords, gained a large number of fiefs, and eventually became great nobles." The other young soldiers were not satisfied with Krezer's description, and their hearts were full of romance about the war.
"Hey, I said throw away those strange dreams, remember what you learned in the Mecklenburg barracks, follow the orders given by the officers, and take every step accurately, this is the real war, forget it and say it is useless, you will only understand when you go to war." Krezer could only shake his head as he looked at the young men whose eyes were full of longing.
"I heard that the Teutonic Knights have fought against the Slavs in Watergast, and those knights are brave, and their enemies are many times greater."
"That's right, but it also means that as long as this victory is achieved, many of them will receive a large number of rewards from the Earl, as the military merit sheet says, the mansion and the servants." A well-informed family member boastfully told his companions that Arold's military merit system gave these children of the family who had lost their inheritance a good opportunity to be promoted, and they could use guò war to obtain the land and servants they could not get.
"That's true, the Earl's military merit system is designed to motivate us to fight the enemy, but remember that as a pikeman, team spirit is the most important thing, and as long as you win as a squad, everyone will be rewarded." Kretzer said to these lads who were keen on military exploits.
"Understood, Captain Kreser."
"Woo!!。" The horn sounded to stop resting, and the Mecklenburg legionnaires, who were resting on the side of the road, repacked their bags, picked up their cross-leaning weapons, and embarked on the journey, I don't know when the young men began to sing during the march, they sang Germanic ballads and Slavic ballads, but the lyrics were all about the yearning for a better life in the future.
"Ping Pong ~~~~." The Teutonic knights, who were envied by the young men of the Mecklenburg Legion, were fighting against the Slavs who attacked them again, and I don't know why this time the Slavs fought so fiercely, and the Slavic nobles stood in the rear of the army, constantly urging the peasants to climb the walls or attack the gates, but unlike the nobles' fierceness, the attitude of the Slavic peasants was mostly perfunctory.
"Drain !!!。" To make matters worse, heavy rain began to fall in the sky, and the rain made the road of the attack even more muddy and difficult to walk, and the Slavic peasants hobbled to the city walls, coughing and wheezing like old oxen, but they found nothing but more corpses.
"Lord Kang Tuoyi, the soldiers need to rest, and our supplies are about to bottom out, and the half-ration system has begun in the troops." The Calvin chief, shirtless and with a coarse linen bandage on his shoulders, braved the rain from his wounds and ran to Kang Tuoyi's tent and said to his sovereign.
"Hasn't the food conscription team sent out yet returned?" Kang Tuoyi held the wine glass in one hand and sat on a wooden chair looking out of the tent, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, which caused a lot of trouble for their attack.
"They didn't come back, but even if they did, how much food they could bring back from the countryside, the cavalry of the Mecklenburgers would have ruined the countryside long ago, and the villages loyal to us were burned, and those villages that continued to be loyal to Bilisi would have hid all their food." Calvin Chief said to Kang Tuoyi.
"Damn it, gods, why don't you show your might." Kang Tuoyi angrily drank the wine in the cup, and then slammed the glass to the ground.
"Look, Lord Flag Bearer, the Slavs are packing up their camp and they're retreating." Standing on the wooden wall, covered in blood, Harold had no idea how many heads he had cut off, and as he gasped and let the rain wash over his armor, he saw the Slavs retreating in the rain. R1152
