Chapter 558: Ultraman in the Human World (10) The Battle of the Village Chief
The domination of the villages in the plains by the mountain people was a disaster, because the mountain people did not know how to reclaim the plains, nor how to govern the villages, and they did not even have basic taxes and payments, and they were extremely arrogant to the original villagers who were ruled, and in the end they could only be treated like monkeys in terms of finances.
At the beginning, although there were so many rulers in the feudal system, but there was no basic administrative system, not to mention any post stations, heralds, and even a basic tax system.
For the first few months, they were able to get together for the sake of everyone fighting against Nataro I, but soon the local lords went their own way, treating the king as nothing, and the decrees of the emperor did not come out of the direct domain, so that there was no need to mention a unified tax, and even the army (even the most pitiful army) was completely scattered.
What made the people feel most desperate was that these former simple mountain people were falling faster than they could have imagined, and their greed and killing began only 3 months later, and these lords were more interested in direct plunder than in governing the territory, and what was even more excessive was that whenever they poked out the basket, they would think that they were their king.
In this case, the spring ploughing was hardly carried out today, and the public facilities destroyed in the revenge were further decayed as they were left unattended, so that the villages became more and more difficult to get around, even on both sides of the official road.
No, there is a viscount who does not produce anything, and the oppression of the villagers under his hands is too much and triggers the escape, as a result, this viscount actually went into the mountains to arrest the mountain people who robbed back, and after being caught twice, he was very interested in this kind of unearned action, so in the autumn he actually led troops into the mountains again, and was ambushed by the unbearable mountain people, and he was directly arrested after being repulsed.
When the Viscountess heard the news, she cried and ran to Su Weili to see Su Weili, and begged Su Weili to save her husband from the mob in the mountains, and to punish the lawless mob.
"Mob"? It has only been less than a year, and even this group of mountain people who were still digging in the mountains one year ago have called their comrades-in-arms who fought together in the past a mob? Xu Weili comforted the viscountess in a good voice, and then handed over the city to his adjutant, and went into the mountains with a few cronies to find the viscount.
After all, Xu Weili grew up in the mountains, so he quickly followed the traces to find the group of mountain people who captured the Viscount, and the prestige of Xu Weili was not covered, and the mountain people who respected Xu Weili agreed to release the Viscount unconditionally, so he used his prestige to bring out this scum who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough failures.
As soon as he left the mountains, he was immediately hit by a powerful news and almost fainted, this small country of mountains actually broke out in a civil war!
The cause of the civil war was the food problem after the autumn harvest. Of the rulers of the feudal domains, most of them could only be described as waste, but there were a few who were at least qualified as farmers, and a very few were suitable for governance, and the most prominent of them was Sverson Ketchdoma.
If the 32-year-old is already too young, then among the hill leaders, there is an even younger person than the man, and he is the 26-year-old Sverson Kechdoma.
Swelson's original mountain village had been disintegrated in the conflict a few years earlier, and he had infiltrated the Gang as a blind streamer, and then left with the others when the Gang had disintegrated, and then took the opportunity to recruit a dozen or so children who had no food to eat, and immediately joined the Gang again.
So what is the significance of Sverson's doing? It is because through this operation, he has transformed from an ordinary mountain man who is not strong to a mountain leader recognized by the people.
Although he also knew that Sverson was not a well-known mountain leader at all, but now that the mountain people had just left, he needed a lot of money to buy horse bones, so he not only pinched his nose to admit Sverson's legitimacy as a leader, but also subsidized him with a lot of material goods, allowing him to really control a force.
So after that, he used Swelson's example to prove to the mountain people that he didn't care about his past suspicions, and that even if such a small force came to join him, he could treat him with courtesy. This greatly increased the prestige of the Ry, who was soon able to gather the hill people together to deal with the incoming counterinsurgency of Nataro I.
Of course, Sverson has benefited a lot, and Sverson has also ascended to the sky in one step, from a mustard-like mountain people with an extremely small force, don't underestimate such a small force, when Sverson won the victory of Radivo and divided the lordship, Svernson obtained a village with such a small pitiful force, and became the Viscount of Kechidoma.
And Sverson is completely different from the group of mountain people who only know how to play tricks on the people, he humbly learns technology and management from the people, and when the other lords are squandering and eating and drinking, Sverson reclaims the farmland steadily, and finally in the autumn harvest, Sverson's grain production is the first in the plains.
After the autumn, many lords began to starve, and a few of them were persecuted too much and were revolted by the lords, so the lords around Sverzon began to look at Sverzon, since you are so rich, then pull a brother, if you don't pull it, it is not a brother, so just do it, and an earl rushed towards the village of Kechidoma with the soldiers who lacked food and clothing.
Faced with this group of bastards who were everywhere in the spring and ready to come to beg in the fall, Svernson showed extreme ruthlessness and mobilized the peasants to beat them all out.
After the earl was beaten out, he was naturally angry, and at first he wanted to go to the village to avenge his grievances (begging for food by the way), but when he heard that he had gone out, he changed his mind and began to contact the people around him who lacked food to go to the village of Kechidoma to fight the autumn wind. They acted unhindered, and were easily heard by Swelson, who had expected them not to give up.
After hearing the news, Sverson began to take countermeasures, sending his cronies to contact several nearby villages to prepare to fight the enemy together.
The villages contacted by Sverson are divided into two categories, one is the villages that do not have as much food as Sverson, but there is also a harvest, and Sverson sent an envoy to tell them that he is only the first target, and when he is finished, these people will deal with them, so it is easy to bring over such villages, a total of 3.
On the other hand, there are villages that are also short of food, but Sverson is willing to hire them with food for defense with three other villages, two of which are such villages.
The earl who tried to fight Sverson, after bribing some villagers, found out that Sverzon was contacting other villages, but he didn't care, because even if Sverzon's village was added, they only had 6, and this count had already attracted the support of 11 villages! And there was also an archduke behind his back to provide assistance! 12 against 6, 2 against 1, no matter how you look at it, it is a sure win!
The Grand Duke Li Mill, who supported the Earl, also thought so, Li Mier was a close confidant of the Earl, and he also fought with the Earl, and he thought that the current situation was like this, although the Count had 11 allied forces, but these allied forces were scattered everywhere, and the most feared thing was that Svernson would make a surprise attack and break them one by one.
So Li Mier pretended to be a good person and came out to mediate, saying that your reasons are very reasonable, so let's make an appointment on a time and place, call out the people of both sides, and have a duel in a dignified manner, won't you be able to resolve the conflict in an elegant manner? In this way, winning is winning, losing is losing, and it will not hurt peace.
The reason why Li Mier wants to make such an arrangement is nothing more than that the count has the advantage in the number of people at present, and it will definitely be the earl to fight at the agreed time and place, that is, on the surface, he will persuade peace, but in fact he will be biased.
Through the movements of these days, Swelson has already guessed that the mastermind behind dealing with himself is this Li Mier, if he refuses Li Mier's mediation now, then Li Mier may be killed himself, so Sverson proudly accepted the challenge, but claimed that he has a small number, so the time and place should be determined by himself.
Li Mier and the Earl hurriedly agreed, as long as you are willing to fight, we will definitely win 2 fights and 1, no matter what time and place you choose, is it all in vain?
So the duel between the two sides was scheduled for the morning of the 3rd day, and when the duel day came, the Earl's coalition army, which felt that they had won the battle, had hurried to the duel venue, because they thought that the battle was ironclad, and they could not wait to eat a big meal these days.
But Sverson was not like this, and it was a quarter of an hour after the Earl's coalition troops were present, and Sverson's troops arrived slowly, but Sverlson refused to start the battle immediately, because he said that he was the only one who was present this time, and he could not fight until the people arrived, otherwise Sverlson would not recognize the legitimacy of the battle.
The Earl's allied men were a little restless, but they were persuaded by the Earl, who comforted them by saying that they would be able to eat if they won the battle, and they were not in a hurry at this time.
So he waited slowly, but Sverson's allies came slower and dragging his feet, and in the blink of an eye the twilight eclipse (civilians only eat two meals a day, morning and twilight eclipse, and the twilight eclipse is around 3 o'clock in the afternoon) Before they arrived, Swelson's side began to eat the food he brought unhurriedly, and the Earl's coalition side was dumbfounded, they rushed too fast and didn't bring food at all.
So the Earl's coalition began to stir up again, and Sverson suggested that he could give them some of the food he had brought, which made them willing to wait. But Svernson played a trick again, and provided only enough food for half of them, so that in order to fight for food, the gang fought again, and four or five died before the conflict could be resolved.
If they had been here, they would have seen that Sverson was playing tricks, but the Counts were so upright that if they had any vigilance before, they would have been overwhelmed by the long wait and the anxiety of hunger.
Until the sun was about to set, there were only 5 on Swelson's side, and the Earl's coalition began to stir up for the third time, so Swelson was as good as he was, saying that if we don't fight first, the one who hasn't come yet, he will come and join the battle directly?
So this war, which was later named the Battle of Swelson, officially began, the 5 villages on the Swelsen side, even if you count the peasant soldiers whose combat strength is about equal to 5, the total strength is 132 people, and the 12 villages on the Earl's side of the coalition army, the total strength after counting the peasant soldiers is 273 people.
The battle of 132 men against 273 men began, although the number of the Earl's coalition was larger, but they had been hungry for a day, and they had been in the house before, not to mention the extremely low combat effectiveness, and they were worried about each other, while Swelson's side, although the number was smaller, but they were more well-fed and more cooperative, and the result was that the two sides were evenly matched.
(Both sides lack sharp weapons, so they can't deal effective damage)
At the beginning, Sverson, with his better men, defeated twice as many enemies as himself, and at this critical moment, the Earl stood up and shouted: "Lao Tzu was the first to take the lead under the man, will he be afraid of you waste wood?"
The battle between the two sides entered a white-hot level, and the physical exertion was serious, 8 people died on Swelson's side, and 7 people died on the Earl's side, so it can be said that they all fought to the last breath, after all, neither side was much elite troops, and there were already signs of faint collapse.
At this moment, the right side of the battlefield suddenly shook the sky, and I saw the earl (from Sverson's side), who had not come for a long time, with reinforcements from an army of 20 people, after eating and drinking enough, rushed down from the right side with a tiger descending the mountain, and inserted into the soft flank of the earl's coalition army in one fell swoop.
The battlefield was chosen by Swelson, and the reason why he chose the battlefield here was that he took a fancy to the dense forest on the right side that could hide a group of troops, so he placed the elite army here with his own nobles in advance, and when the two sides fought to the white-hot stage, he let this nobleman rush out.
Seeing that the enemy still had reinforcements, the Earl's coalition army suddenly collapsed completely, like scattered meteors, and fled lifelessly, while Svernson killed all the way.
By the time the moon rose, the "Battle of Sverson" had ended with 152 men versus 273 men, with 10 killed on Swelson's side, 38 killed by the Earl's coalition (three-quarters of them killed in the process), 66 captured, and the Count himself was killed on the spot because he could not retreat due to the charge.
So when he finally fished out that bastard viscount from the hands of the mountain people, what he heard was the report of this great victory.
