Chapter 229: Ten Years
At the place where Su Yuan and Ethan Green first met, the two met at one time.
"How's it going? Did he go back? ”
"Already back. However, before going back, he also met with a person secretly, and he still needs to find out who it is. But it should be a wizard. ”
"I don't need this, I know who it is."
"Sure enough, it's all in your hands, I just don't understand. Why didn't you kill him. That kid is very powerful. Once he returns, it is not impossible to return to power. ”
"All I want is to put him back in power. Nilfgaard's political situation has stabilized over the years. If you want to revive the turmoil, you have to have someone of sufficient weight. An exiled prince is a good choice. To be honest, in the past few years, he has performed too well. So good that I thought he had given up those little thoughts and was ready to stay in Sintra with peace of mind. But now it seems that he has never given up on the dream of returning to China. ”
"You let him go back at this time. Does that mean you're ready to start? ”
"It's going to take a little while, but it's about it. Prepare your people to show your worth in war. In this way, only in the future will you be eligible to play the condition. ”
Ethan Green went back thoughtfully. After a while, Su Yuan also went back helplessly. He had to go back and explain to Ciri why her father had suddenly left her and her mother and disappeared.
……………………
Hinterland, in a military camp. A group of young, strong soldiers are being reviewed.
Caranther stood in front of the soldier and shouted.
"Now, where are you standing?"
"Sintra." The sound of a uniform answer resounded in the sky.
"Who is it, give you food?"
"Hinterland ......"
"Who is it that gave you armor?"
"Hinterland ......"
"Who gave you the sword?"
"Sintra ......"
"Who is it that gives you glory?"
"Sintra...... Sintra ...... Sintra's ......" neat, strong, firm response brought a smile to Calanther's face. Not far away, Ye Nefu said to Su Yuan with a strange expression.
"I feel like you've won now. Truly, I've seen the most elite royal guards in Aden. I know what virtues they have. Whether it is discipline, equipment, or momentum, it is far from comparable. How many of these soldiers are there? ”
"The total number of marches I led the training was 5,000 men. All cavalry, one man and two horses. Plus a logistics unit of eight thousand people, dedicated to them. ”
In addition to this, Sintra had a traditional mixed infantry regiment of 4,000 men. That's all Sintra is currently up to.
It must be said here. According to the original book, during the Second Northern War. In total, Nilfgaard mobilized a mixed corps of infantry and cavalry, 46,000 men. The armies of the northern countries facing each other were about 37,000 men. According to the productivity of that era, it was about this level.
Originally, Sintra had a regular army of about 4,000. The First Northern War in the original book did not wait for the support of the three thousand knights of the Skellig Islands. and was exterminated at the door of his own house. Now, Su Yuan has spent ten years building a brand new 5,000 elite cavalry. At the same time, according to the treatment of cavalry in ancient China, they were equipped with an auxiliary soldier.
He didn't know much about cavalry, but it is said that the elite cavalry during the ancient Chinese war period was all one cavalry with two or more horses. Assisted by two or even three auxiliaries. Naturally, this world cannot do this treatment. However, he still formed a regiment of auxiliaries as much as possible to assist the cavalry in the war.
Over the years, Hinterland has made a lot of money through the development of trade, as well as the toll fees in the Skellig Islands. On the premise of purchasing a large amount of food reserves, little by little, this new legion was saved. But one thing to say, in this era, in this country, it is actually a bit difficult to raise such a new army.
The most intuitive manifestation is that the current Sintra has actually been hollowed out. If, within a month, the new army does not bring sufficient returns, then the army will have to be cut in spending. If there is no return within half a year, you have to start cutting it.
So, a thousand words come together into one sentence. The domestic contradictions have reached their limit, and it is time to shift the target.
…………………
Late at night, on the banks of the Yaluga River, several tall and swift beast figures quickly skimmed over the Yaluga River. And behind them, dozens of figures, following behind, quietly crossed the Yaluga River.
On the other side of the river is the kingdom of Brugg. Theoretically, Brugg was a vassal of Temeria. But in reality, it's basically on its own.
Because of the strong rise of Sintra, Brugg set up a guard post on the riverside and set up a camp outpost. As a small country struggling to survive in the gap between Temeria and Sintra. They have never lacked a sense of distress. It's a pity that if the sense of distress can't be matched with enough strength, it's basically useless.
In the darkness of the night, the horses of the camp suddenly panicked. A soldier came out to check. But after turning around, I didn't find any problems. And just as he turned around and was about to go back. A tall figure pounced from behind and pressed him directly under him. It was a giant mutated wolf.
The soldiers in the room heard the movement and reached for the mechanism to pull aside. With a single pull, one of the torches at the top will fall down, automatically lighting the campfire to send a signal.
It's just that as soon as he stretched out his hand, he felt a darkness in front of him, and then he felt a sharp pain in his throat. After that, he lost consciousness completely.
The sound alarmed the rest of the garrison soldiers. But before they could react, a group of men in black armed with short crossbows rushed in.
In the dim light, you can vaguely see that these people all have pointed ears. All of them are elves.
These people are the elite of the Squirrel Party under Ethan Green. In this operation, they acted as the vanguard and were responsible for clearing the sentinel posts along the way. Make sure that the actions of the Great Army will not be discovered. And by the time Brugg reacted, the soldiers were already in the city.
At dawn, a shrill chirp rang out over Brugg's capital. Some were alarmed and opened their windows to look out into the sky. I faintly saw that several large birds were hovering over the palace. A few minutes later, there was a violent explosion in the palace, and the sound of flames. This was followed by the sound of the horns of the whole city's guards. Countless soldiers began to run in the direction of the palace.
At this time, not far from the city, a cavalry regiment of 2,000 people had already set up a formation. They waited, waited for the signal from the squirrel party in the city.
