The First Arrival Chapter 19 The Ringing Horse Riot
Kulau and Zhivadine of the Kingdom of Vecchia gathered more and more boyes, and the army gathered was also more than 10,000, large and small flags were planted all over these towns, and a person of status entered the castle or town to hang his flag high above, the size and luxury of the flag depended on the prestige, prestige, and dominion of its owner.
This is the deadline for Saiga Khan, if he still doesn't express his position, then many countries will declare war on him, and the number can even reach 100,000, because the Nord Kingdom, which was not harassed by Aguer, also released cruel words and sanctioned together with other countries, in fact, it just wants to get a piece of the pie in this war.
There will be no long-term cooperation among the countries of the Carradia continent, only permanent interests.
Saiga Khan is now in a dilemma, it is easy to exile a lord, and he still has a valid reason, but Halma, the territory of Agruel, is Svadia, Rhodok, Salander, the junction of the three kingdoms, guarding the peace in this area, and the scale of this town is not small, if the lord here is exiled and causes panic, then the three kingdoms will attack on a large scale, and it will only be a matter of time before it is taken. Saiga Khan knew that Agur was warlike, had maintained peace on the border for a long time, and had made great achievements in war, but this time he went to ransack many villages on the border of other countries, which made the king a little confused.
Fortunately, Saga Khan was a wise monarch, and he chose to exile Agur and confiscate all of his possessions, including his title, nobility, and realm of Halma. In addition to this, he paid 100,000 dinars to the offended country and 50,000 dinars to the Nord kingdom to settle the matter. In addition to this, he took over Halma himself to make up for his losses, and sent a portion of his elite troops from his own domain, Talga.
Although such humiliation was unbearable for the king, it was an indisputable fact of history that if he was backward, he would be beaten. (Due to the perennial occupation of a large number of ringing horses, the economic development of Kugit was sluggish, a large number of caravans were looted, and the goods in the city were scarce and the prices were extremely high.) )
Saiga Khan has been investigating this large number of ringing horses for several years, and has roughly concluded that there is some force behind them, but so far there is no result.
After receiving this satisfactory answer, the countries were ready to withdraw their troops and do their own business, and they were compensated without a single soldier, and no one still wanted to fight.
The army had not yet withdrawn, and alarms sounded in border towns.
"I heard the horse is attacking the town?" Yi Ye asked with interest.
"The attack was not to be mentioned, and these ringing horses were wandering around some towns in a group, blocking all roads. And a large number of arrows rain harassment. Said the tavern owner of Kulau.
There was nothing wrong with Kulau, there were a few castles around it, but the border was not so pleasant.
"How good the equipment of these ringing horses can be, it would be nice to send a large group of elite soldiers to pack them, and they can also make a lot of money. Besides, aren't all the boys in Vekia on the border? Yi Ye pretended to be confused.
Of course, he knows the mobility of these light cavalry, even if you don't have a good attack plan for tens of thousands of people, don't want to take down thousands of light cavalry. Yi Ye doesn't know much about history, but he is still interested in military affairs. In 1240 AD, the Mongol cavalry attacked Poland, a powerful country in Eastern Europe, and the Teutonic knights, who were proud of the Templars, were defeated by the Mongol cavalry. It can be seen that heavy knights are not good at fighting light cavalry. This is somewhat similar to the Kingdom of Swadia and the Khanate of Kugit. But here it is the other way around, Yi Ye understands that this is because Kujit has not yet shown his true strength.
"Don't you know, these horses are very cunning, and the armies of various countries have sent troops several times, but they have not gained anything, but they have sacrificed some people."
For this person who does not understand tactics, it can only be described as cunning.
Yi Ye was very interested in the unknown ringing horses, and he wanted to know who was training these ringing horses behind them. But now that he was alone and couldn't do anything, he had better wait for Manid to come back.
A few days ago, Yi Ye's heart was still a little flustered, for fear that something would happen, and he was relieved after receiving Manid's letter at Fort Elbuk today.
From the letter, Yi Ye roughly learned that everything went smoothly on the road, and the owner of the three cans saw that Yi Ye had started his own business, and he happily gave a carriage and a carriage of good wine as gifts, which made Manid greatly admired.
But Yi Ye still has some concerns, after all, an honest person like Manid has always reported good news and not bad news, even if he is so poor that he lives on the streets, he still has to reply that everything is going well, Yi Ye has experience.
There are also books in this world, and Yi Ye, who has never liked to read, also wants to buy a book about tactical history. But this price is really not affordable for ordinary people, especially books on tactics, ranging from a few thousand dinars to tens of thousands of dinars. Here, knowledge is wealth.
Yi Ye came up with the idea of writing his own book, because it was too profitable, although he didn't have a clue yet, but the title had already been thought of, it was called "One Hundred Chapters of the Essentials of War", there is nothing to do now, and it will be added slowly in the future.
I have to say that Yi Ye has a high opinion on military affairs, but this is only on paper, and it is different from the actual war.
In the face of the gathered ringing horses, the countries were unable to solve it, but they unanimously pointed the finger at Saiga Khan, accusing him of not fulfilling his obligations and letting this group of ringing horses cause chaos everywhere. However, a large part of this is due to Saiga Khan.
As the minutes ticked by, Hibiki had no intention of retreating, and it seemed that they would not give up until the cities were economically paralyzed. The big towns are fine, they have a lot of food in stock, and they are self-sufficient, but some castles are not so easy.
These castles only had about a month's worth of food, but that didn't mean they could last a month, because when the food was dwindling, the nobles would have a monopoly and the commoners would have no food to eat, and even the loyal commoners with hoes and cloth clothes would rebel. Therefore, ten days of food storage in a month is the limit.
On 21 June, the lord of Fort Lundia, the Count of Berlands, made the decision to place the defenders of the castle within a few kilometers of the castle, leaving a gap in the rear for supplies. This method of buying time with soldiers was something that every lord did not want, but it was also a last resort, and the subordinate village of Lundia Fort, Uludana, was sacked many times, and there were no taxes and food for several months. Coupled with being on the border, their food stocks are already scarce.
But this provided an opportunity for the horses.
Where Lentia Fort could not be seen, a large number of ringing horses were gathering.
