Chapter 630: Surrender before a fight
And in the face of such a good opportunity to raise food and grass, the cavalry brigade will never let it go, and they also know the meaning of the upper echelons, that is, they want to stick to the fortress, after all, the strength of the meat kingdom is there, and if you want to annihilate the blue-blooded empire in one fell swoop, it is greedy and not enough to swallow the elephant, so in order to prevent eating too much and then backlash and cause indigestion, the human kingdom also unanimously passed the resolution to swallow the south first, so this war The Iron Wall Legion and the Marksman Legion are to prepare for a protracted war that is strictly defended。 Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
And the protracted war is a battle that tests the logistical ability, so now under the initiative of the Marquis Mora of the leading party, the cavalry brigade quickly attacked and controlled Mora's territory, and then sent someone to notify the troops who had ended the battle behind to come to receive supplies and leave some people to guard, the cavalry brigade immediately went to the next noble territory under the guidance of Mora, according to Mora's confession, although this nobleman is not as rich as him, but it is not much worse, so the cavalry brigade will naturally not miss it.
You must know that guy is a profiteer, he bought a knighthood through bribery, and was regarded as an upstart by Mora, but people are rich! Although it may not be as good as an ancient family like Mora that has been inherited for hundreds of years in terms of heritage, but in terms of relative wealth, Mora can't compare to that goods, of course, now with the invasion of the human kingdom, the coins of these blue-blooded empires are naturally invalidated, so what is really tempting to the cavalry brigade is the profiteer's hoarding of Juqi's full warehouse of grain!
The nobles near the fortress were not strong, so after the cavalry brigade swept the territory of Mora, it immediately attacked the territory of the two adjacent minor nobles, and it is no wonder who let their territory be sandwiched between the marquis's territory and the profiteer's barony's territory!
To say that although the wealth of these two barons is far less than that of the Marquis Mora and the profiteer baron, after all, they are the lords who are backed by this north-south trade route, so the wealth is far more than the average southern viscount, and even if they are changed to the north, even the earl is not as rich as either of the two of them, after all, one can only dig in the land or rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, but people can continue to extract profits from the north-south trade, just like a leech lying on a person, as long as he lies there and sucks two sips, it is a slow benefit!
But now these are cheap cavalry brigades, after killing all the resistance forces, and killing the two barons directly, the cavalry brigade just sent a few eloquent guys and immediately mobilized the blue-blooded civilians of the barony to help stabilize the situation, and even those barons' private soldiers after making sure that their families could get a lot of money, food, and clothing, they basically turned against each other and took refuge in the few cavalrymen who could speak well.
Soon after, before anyone had time to think, the infantry of the Iron Wall Legion who followed immediately took control of the situation, immediately collected all the materials, and ordered their weapons, and then began to preside over the distribution on the spot, according to the old rules, the food and clothing were given to these civilians, and then began to forcibly take them away in the direction of the fortress, because of the previous pacification, the resistance of these blue-blooded people was not fierce, and even without seeing blood, they successfully relocated the people of the two baronies.
The cavalry brigade continued to advance, and finally reached the domain of the famously rich profiteer baron, after crossing four baronies and one viscount before sunset.
Of course, during the period, there were also encounters of resistance of varying intensity, but in the face of 5,500 elite cavalry, these so-called armies with a strong militia nature are basically paper tigers that collapse in one rush, as for why there are 500 cavalry missing? Of course, they were not killed, although there were also wounded, but in view of the large difference in strength between the two sides, none of these 6,000 cavalry has died on the battlefield so far.
Therefore, these 500 people actually stayed to strangle all kinds of resistance forces along the way, after all, breaking and exterminating are two completely different concepts, so in order to avoid trouble, the cavalry captain still divided a squadron leader to lead 500 cavalry to strangle all the surrounding resistance forces after a short thought, and he led the other cavalry to continue the assault forward! (The cavalry brigade is subordinate to 6 squadrons, one team of 1,000 people, and then each squadron is subordinate to 10 squadrons with 100 subordinates, because it has not yet been decided whether to form a cavalry corps, so the deployment of troops in the brigade looks unreasonable and bloated overall)
And as these 5,500 wolf cavalry officially set foot in the baron's territory, the three views of all the wolf cavalry were refreshed again, and what did they see! The profiteer baron, who was the owner of this land, actually took the lead in kneeling there and surrendered to the wolf cavalry brigade with the medal representing the baron's title in both hands, and he surrendered without any discipline without moving a knife or a shot!
In fact, this is also because the profiteer baron was frightened out of his courage, after all, he put a lot of eyeliner in front, so when the wolf cavalry fought all the way, he knew that the other party's target was himself, after all, the wolf cavalry did it too obviously, and they rushed towards him in a daze, if he couldn't see it, then he wouldn't have to live.
Therefore, after knowing the true combat effectiveness of the wolf cavalry brigade, this thing weighed it and knew that it was absolutely impossible to fight, and it was absolutely impossible to run away, after all, the opponent's combat effectiveness was strong, and he didn't know what soldiers he had?
Anyway, it is important for him to save his life, as for wealth, he believes that as long as he is alive, he can earn it back sooner or later, after all, even if he runs away and resists, it is useless, people kill him, and wealth does not fall into the hands of the other party, so surrender is his only way out.
It is precisely because of this decision that he naturally did not order to burn grain and grass or the like, but instead ordered to take strict care of the warehouse, after all, he is very self-aware, the other party must be for his wealth, not himself, so if he destroys wealth and food, then the other party will definitely be annoyed and angry, at that time, how can he have any good fruit to eat, so naturally to prevent someone from taking the opportunity to destroy! (The Blueblood Empire has an organization similar to the Brokeguard, which is ambushed throughout the Empire, so these nobles should be careful if they surrender to their opponents.) )
