In 1680, Gosamodor announced an alliance with Salo and officially joined the "Third East Coast War", in which Arthur was appointed as the deputy commander of Gosamodo, and in fact, all the armies attacked by the Duchy of Melochu were under Arthur's management.

Arthur was very excited when he received this appointment, and in his opinion, as a knight, he should not focus most of his energy on handling government affairs, but should devote himself to the battlefield, stain his body with the blood of the enemy, and offer victory to the lord as a reward for his loyalty, which is the life that a knight should live.

"The Great War has begun, and the place where I realize my value as a knight has also appeared," Arthur smiled happily as he said this.

Later, Arthur began a third recruitment of the Knights of the Round Table, and in order to ensure that there were enough men to use, Arthur promoted some of the less qualified knight apprentices to full knights. With this expansion, after the end of this round of recruitment, the number of official knights of the entire Knights of the Round Table reached an unprecedented number of 500, that is, 500 Knights of the Round Table.

"The Great War has begun," when the news reached Luofeng Village, the whole village of people of all ages was suddenly mourned, their fathers had experienced the Great War, the terrible mortality rate, the terrible destruction, still like carrion vultures, hovering over their heads, lingering.

Days was already married, and with the full salary he received on his last expedition, Days successfully got a wife in the village, separated from his parents, and began to support the family independently. When he learned that Arthur was conscripted again, he was the happiest person in the whole village, patted his chest and said to his neighbors: "King Arthur is a good person, as long as you follow her, you are not afraid of being wronged!"

"The great war has begun," Baron Lofon looked at the letter from his elders, his face cloudy, so that his sons could not see what Baron Lofon was thinking.

Looking at his puzzled sons, Baron Luo Feng said with a smile: "Thirty-four years have passed since the last big war, and there are more and more people in this Melokqiu, and the fields are becoming less and less divided, so it's time to go to the big war to die a wave of people, and if there are more people, the land will be enough." ”

The sons shrank their heads uneasily, and Baron Luo Feng continued to talk to himself as if he hadn't noticed: "Every big war is a reshuffle, or the chicken and dog ascend to heaven, or the family dies, whether it is the military exploits in the war, or the price of goods in the post-war scarcity period, it is not a simple operation. ”

Looking at his incomprehensible sons, Baron Luo Feng smiled, they were still too young: "You remember my words now, and you will naturally understand them in the future, and then pass on this sentence to your sons, and then to your grandchildren, and so on from generation to generation, until there is no one who can pass it on or there is no need to pass it on anymore." ”

"Third child, as the first wave of soldiers conscripted in our Luofeng Village, go out first, take two domestic servants, recruit 5 serfs, take this letter of introduction I wrote to you, and set off. After I got there, I listened to the words of my elders, whether I could mix military merits or not, after all, this big war had not really started yet. ”

Three days later, the village of Luofeng sent the first batch of soldiers from the village, one nobleman, two private soldiers, and five peasant soldiers, a total of 8 people, to assemble towards Angde.

One of the eight soldiers provided by the village of Luofeng was Dyce, for no other reason, Dyce's interest in war was so high that he dreamed of seeing the great King Arthur and serving under the banner of King Arthur again. Seeing that this peasant soldier was rarely so excited, and he had participated in the war, the third child of Baron Luofeng took him out.

After these conscripted soldiers gathered in Anged, they did not immediately set out for the front, but participated in Angard's autumn harvest to raise grain and grass.

Of course, the noble nobles among the soldiers naturally disdained to participate in the autumn harvest, and the participants in the autumn harvest were all peasant soldiers who had no soft use (in the opinion of the nobility).

Days and his party were assigned to participate in the autumn harvest without compensation, but a peasant soldier in the same village was cut by a plow because he fell during the autumn harvest, and because he could not get effective treatment because he had no money, this foot was so lame. The third child of the Baron Luofeng family was unwilling to pay for the affairs of this peasant soldier, so the lame peasant soldier only received a pitiful subsidy fee, and was driven back to Luofeng Village.

People like the unlucky peasant soldiers of Dai Si Tong Village, at this time the Duchy of Merochu is not alone, but the nobles don't care at all, anyway, they don't rely on these peasant soldiers who are cannon fodder to fight, not to mention injured, even if they die, then that's it.

When the autumn harvest is over, when the snow begins to fall in the sky, these peasants will take on the task of transporting these military rations to the front, and on the way to transport the grain, all they can get is very simple and shabby rags as a protection from the cold - some black-hearted officers will also button these rags off and sell them in the barracks at a higher price.

In short, after such a toss, by the time the first batch of military rations arrived at the front, it was already the beginning of spring in 1681. Since it's spring, there's no need to trouble others, come on, the local spring plowing task will be handed over to you to complete, or free labor.

Yes, free labor, spring ploughing is naturally not the nobles and private soldiers brought by the nobles, but the conscripted peasant soldiers like Dyce, and when spring ploughing, they have no military pay, only rations.

After the rations were brought in, Arthur began his own military campaign, on the one hand, building an official road in Khalsa in preparation for future attacks, and on the other hand, using Bangalore as a base from which to harass the left flank of Laventica's army and relieve the pressure on the south of Sharo.

During the battle meeting, Arthur scolded Fang Zun on the sand table: "If you start from Bangare, go south to Arti, and south-east to Desdes. As the place where the Hammador people rise, Desde is easy to defend and difficult to attack, with many passes and fortresses, and the terrain is complex, which is not suitable for attacking, so our main attack direction should be Arti. ”

"Arti used to be the territory of the Principality of Hammador in Sharo, so we have a rich topographical map and information about Arti from Sharo, which can facilitate our march. And after the capture of Arti, it is a plain, whether it is to attack Pease, Lauslent or Shrike, it is very convenient, it can be said to choke Laventica's throat. ”

"So we're going to attack Artie this winter?" asked a knight of the Round Table.

Arthur shook his head in denial: "We can think of it, and Laventica can naturally think of it, they will definitely focus on defense in Arti to prevent us from invading." ”

"Then you're not going to attack?"

"No, to attack Arti, on the one hand, to contain part of Laventica's forces in this area and relieve the pressure on Moncado, on the other hand, to use me as bait to transfer out the army of Deesde to defeat it once!"

After the autumn harvest of 1681, Arthur assembled the main force of the Duchy of Merochou and marched south from Bangalese to attack Arti. Since the autumn harvest was over, Arti's guards let Gosamodo's army in, so that they did not encounter much resistance, and fought all the way to the bottom of Arti's main city and began to besiege the city.

"Hehe, the great King Angwu VI has long guessed that you will focus on attacking Arti, so since the beginning of the previous year, you have been constantly building Arti's fortifications, which I personally supervised, Arti has long been managed by me into an impregnable wall, I see how you can capture this city!"

"Of course, what you said is correct, great nobleman, if this Arti does not have ten times your strength, it will not be able to attack it in ten days and half a month," the nobleman of Han Ma Dore, who was standing on the side of the guard, said with courtesy flattery.

Yati is nominally a city that belongs to the Duchy of Hammador in Hammador, but even Hammador is only a puppet state of Laventica, so how can there be an exception here?

Admiral Arti snorted coldly: "Melochu, Merochu, hum! Even Merochu has been captured by our army, not to mention this Merochu family? If it weren't for the king's strategy of destroying Sharo first and then Gosamodo, I would have led the army to level that Arthur's little Bangala long ago...... Speaking of Bangaluo, I also know a little bit about the East Coast culture, do you know what the relationship between Bangalore and Sgarro is?"

Beads of sweat the size of beans immediately appeared on the foreheads of the nobles of Hammador, and they began to stand up: This Bangala is the city of the Principality of Merochu, and Sgallo is a city located in the north of Moncado, the capital of Sharo, and this land was not a Hammador nearly a thousand years ago, how can this Hammador nobles understand?

After a long time, the nobles of Hammador bowed their heads and said that they didn't know, and General Arti smiled happily when he saw this: "The second dynasty of Sharo, that is, the first king of the current Aragonese dynasty, is called Garo I, and at that time he named the northernmost and southernmost cities in the territory of Sharo after him, which is the origin of the names of Bangara and Sgaro. ”

The nobleman of Hammador immediately cheered up and flattered him diligently: "The general is worthy of a deep understanding of the culture of the East Coast, and even I don't know this knowledge, I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." ”

Admiral Arti sneered again, the stiff twitch of his mouth was extremely terrifying, and then he walked down the tower and said to himself, "If Archduke Arthur I just scares me, but if he is really greedy to attack the city, I have prepared a great gift for him." ”

After Arthur led his army to the city of Arty, he made a long-term siege posture, during which some generals persuaded Arthur to burn the fields around and destroy the opponent's ability to plough in the spring next year, but this suggestion was rejected by Arthur with too viciousness: "After ten years of melee here, it has been burned very badly, how can I continue to add fuel to the fire?"

The nobles of Hammador in Arti City found that as Arthur surrounded Arti City for a longer time, Arti Defender not only did not panic, but his smile became more and more vigorous, and they secretly guessed that the confidence that supported Arti's Guard's smile was probably the "Great Gift to Arthur" that Arti Defender said before, right?

However, the smug smile of the Admiral Arti guard disappeared with the news of the following spring, "Wernachar defeated".

Arthur had already left Arti City at this time, and he only arranged for part of the army to remain under Arti City to surround it, pretending that he was still there, while the main force of the army had actually already withdrawn from Arti City and arrived at a city called Wonachar between Bangalore and Arti Official Road.

Wernachar is a transportation hub, almost on a par with the main city in terms of economy, as the official roads of Bangara, Arti and Deesde all meet here. So Arthur had to go through Wernachar to attack Arti, and Desde had to pass through Wernachar to cut off Arthur's back.

"When I went to besiege Arti, I didn't think that it would be possible to break through the city so quickly, so my real purpose was to lure out the defenders of Desde, as long as the defenders of Arti thought that I was really here to attack Arti, he would take the bait, and it was very likely that he would send the Destus army to intercept my rear, and then annihilate my army. ”

"And last month, Merochu has been captured by Laventica, which means that we are the only army that can attack Dested, which will undoubtedly increase the confidence of the Desde defender and make him want to make a big news. Since he wants to do it, I'll provide him with a stage. ”

"At this time, as long as I take advantage of the information gap between them, lead the army back in advance, and set up an ambush on the road that the enemy army must pass, it can have the effect of surprise. ”

Arthur, who was holding the head of the Deesde guard, happily explained to his generals.
