The topography of the province of Haut-Annon is longitudinal from north to south, bordering the province of Accor to the south, the province of Moz to the north, and the province of Norman to the top. To the east, the province of Haut-Ann Ag is bordered by the provinces of Schengen, Pré and Dom.

After Bonney sent his troops north from Grad, Penny already controlled half of the province of Dom, and the remaining half was in the hands of Doukashire, the southern earl, "Chin-Nan-von Philip", and after negotiations, the south joined the Southern Army, making the two largest of the five southern provinces already in the hands of Bonny.

On October 20, 416 of the new calendar, the southern army continued to advance and fought with the royal army in the province of Pulexing, and the two sides won and lost, and the southern army retreated to Dom, and then divided one-third of its troops and transferred to the province of Accor to the left of the province of Dom to support the local southern allies.

Wang's army divided its forces to the east, defeated the invading Saxon army in the eastern Vosges province, relieved the siege of Marseille south of the Vosges, reconnected their forces, and launched an attack on the province of Dom.

This time, it was replaced by the defeat of the Wang army, and the cavalry units of the southern army gave full play to their advantages in the plain area, and the Wang army was defeated, and fully retreated to the central province of Pulie, while the southern army entered the province of Pulie and the border with the province of Annong.

At this time, there were two options in front of the southern army, one was to go straight, from Prije, Schengen, to the royal capital, but this road, to cross the mountain road, although the time is faster, but the overall march is inconvenient, so Boni changed the direction of the troops to the province of Shangannongxing.

By the 5th of November, the Southern Army had persuaded half of the province of Upper Annong, which made the well-informed merchants, officials, and nobles in the royal capital ready to change their courts.

Three days ago, most of Wang Jun's troops came to Deen County, the northern part of Shang'an Nonghang Province.

The scouts sent by the royal army learned that the total strength of the three brothers, led by Boni, Panni, Sandy, and Sahan, and the lords of all directions, amounted to about 27,000 men, of which 17,000 were infantry, 5,000 were heavy cavalry, 2,000 were archers, and 3,000 pikemen.

And they themselves had only 13,000 infantry, 3,000 mixed troops, and "5,000 longbowmen from the kingdom of Ciri", and the commander was King Adrian.

The Cylic Elector was divided into two factions, one faction went south to fight the "Battle of the Holy Father", and the other faction went west to support Adrian's "War of Thieves".

The difference in strength made the terrain extremely important, and when the Southern army arrived, the two armies would face each other across a river, two miles away from the river was an ordinary semicircular stone-walled fortress, and five miles beyond that was the main city of Deenshire, with woods on the left side of the river and an extremely empty plain on the right.

The king's army seized the advantage of the territory, set up towers and fences along the forest and river banks, and garrisoned fortresses.

On December 8, Penny's vanguard army came to this place, and in order to seize the forest and the riverbank, launched an attack, and fought fiercely for half a day, and won a small victory, but the king's army deliberately deceived the defeat, and caused Penny's whole army to go out and seize the fortress.

Greedy for merit, the soldiers are taboo, and when the main force of Boni has not arrived, plus the foreign aid of the Wang army, the Xili longbowman, there is a very strong warrior, and this person has a small cross birthmark on his forehead.

"Amber, can you shoot the enemy general?" The Count of Ciri led the army to support Nabolon Dao.

"It's a master. Amber brushed the hair from his forehead and let out a small cross birthmark, and he was so beautiful and full of eyes that he was full of holiness that anyone who did not know him would think that he was a devout believer or even an angel who did not commit murder.

"So?"

"Three arrows. ”

Amber finished speaking, and the longbowmen behind him also raised their arms, and finally two hundred arrows rained down in front of Penny, Amber shot one arrow, and when he flew into the air, his second arrow also came out, and the last one came first, and it followed the previous wave of arrows.

After shooting the second arrow, Amber put the third arrow on the bowstring and was about to fire, and then relaxed again.

"What's wrong. Napoleon said.

"He escaped, and the knight who saved him had good equestrian skills, drifting left and right, and there was only a fifty percent chance. ”

"Such a big chance, you don't shoot? That's the enemy's main general!" Nabolon secretly said that it was a pity.

"That man is gone, and there is no need to work in vain. Amber turned and walked away.

Fighting more with less, and the main general was wounded, this battle caused serious casualties in Penny's department, and several trusted old ministers were also killed or captured in battle, Jebel alone and two horses, and finally escaped with the seriously wounded Penny, and after the victory, the king's army built new fortifications overnight, dug the trench deep, and wanted to block the cavalry formation of the Southern army behind.

After most of Boni appeared, the southern army made a small attack, saw the longbowmen of the Xili Kingdom and the rain of arrows, and did not want to attack, and wanted to lure the royal army out of the decisive battle, but no matter how to provoke, Adrian ignored it, for both sides, the food expenditure was very huge, nearly 50,000 adult men on the battlefield, plus horses and livestock, just eating soil, three days can eat a lake here.

Boni knows that this battle can only be pushed hard, and it will be flat in the past, and if you go around the direction again, it will be too time-consuming and laborious. So he was ready to show his last hole card, ignite a black smoke on the battlefield, inform someone to act as soon as possible, and use all means to persuade Wang Jun to fight.

......

......

The Great Tent of the King Army.

After Adrian's skillful work by the makeup artist, his sickly and black-covered face became a rather lively white face.

He summoned the generals to the account, and the first was the third son Pingle, and among the four sons who were still alive, Pingle was his secondary favorite. On this expedition, he took his eldest son Kunke and his third son Pingle, leaving behind his disabled second son Lewu and his most beloved youngest son Asunlu.

Pinle was sent to the east by Adrian to deal with the Saxon army with his right-hand men, but the whole army was wiped out under the two-fold military superiority, which almost affected the main movement of the king's army.

And Adrian also recruited the Kingdom of Cili as foreign aid and introduced the longbowmen of the Kingdom of Ciri, and the Kingdom of Cili and the Kingdom of Gaul sandwiched Saxony in the middle, which put pressure on the Kingdom of Saxony in collusion with Boni, so that it had to divide its troops into the east and west, and could no longer exert the maximum pressure on the province of Marseille.

"I want to continue to defend the city, what do you think?" After Adrian finished speaking, he first looked at Pingle, who was named by his father, but he couldn't dodge.

He disguised himself as a dead man and fled back from the battlefield, and when he first returned, his legs were weak at the sight of the sword, and now, the sound of the trumpet in the army, and the sound of the war horses can make him frightened and incontinent, and he is no longer interested in the game of war. Now, painting **, watching comedy, tasting spirits, and hunting birds and sparrows are the most beautiful things he pursues in life, and the throne depends on whether he wants the second or the eldest to come, he has no opinion, and he will be crowned a duke in the future.

"A battle scares the guts. Adri sighed in reassurance, this sigh, the throne could no longer be given to Pinle.

"Waldon, you're the deputy marshal, what do you think?" Adrian turned to someone else.

There were also Ciri troops on the field, and several nobles of the Siri Kingdom were also present, led by Nabolon.

"Your Majesty is very wise, since you led the army, not only repelled Saxony in the east and alleviated the crisis in the southeast, but also the Norman Archduke in the north, because you made the fourth prince (Asunlu) betrothed to the granddaughter of the Duke of Angli, so that the Norman Archduke did not dare to act rashly, and now as long as Boni is dragged down, our country will be calm, so I support the guard. (Note 1)

One after another, people spoke, and all of them agreed to defend the city, and only a few Northland lords had not yet expressed their position.

"John, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, I don't agree, so I won't talk about the north, in addition to the Norman Archduke restless, there are also Danish pirates from the Navia Peninsula further north. A week ago, I received a letter from my territory, a large number of pirates took advantage of our civil war to go south to seize our property, I brought all my men to participate in the war, and the same is true for the other lords of the north and middle, everyone's castle is under-armed, and it is a godsend for the pirates, if our army has been confronting the rebels, then these people will loot our belongings.

The middle-aged lord was the Earl of Yorkshire, the father of Randall's childhood friend Gooding - "John von Davies".

(Note 2)

"It's a necessary sacrifice, a little possessions, but it's much lighter than the safety of the royal family. One lord echoed John's words.
