"We are victorious!" Stannis shouted as he stood on his captured horse, sword raised.

"Hooray!" shouted the people around them, their swords raised, their faces filled with the glory of victory, and they now began to believe that under the leadership of this man, they would continue to achieve victory.

"And he did. Robert shook his head and said, he didn't expect that this traverser would really be able to win.

In the crowd, he also saw Krodov, the chief of knights completely discarding his identity and cheering with the foot soldiers he despised the most.

At this time, Maester Romon stepped forward, his expression also full of pride, and with a quill in one hand and a vellum in the other, he asked Stannis eagerly: "Your Excellency, I would like to take note of the victory of this battle, which I would like to write down for posterity. What is the name of this battle? ”

Name? yes, Stannis hadn't thought of that yet. He looked at the slaughtering battlefield around him, and the cheering crowd, which was the highlight of his life, "So, what do you think should be called? ”

Master Romon looked around, "Since this is the Sancha River beach, let's record it as the Battle of the Sancha River." ”

Stannis decided to open the eyes of the hillbillies, "Well, I'd like to call it the Battle of Cannae." ”

"Canny?" Lady Romon looked puzzled, he obviously hadn't heard of this war with the highest death rate in a single day in the age of cold weapons in the present world.

"What does that mean?" he asked, curiously.

Stannis shook his head with a smile as he patted the bachelor on the back, "That's what victory means!

The old man nodded incomprehensibly, and although he still didn't understand the meaning, Stannis's passion let him know that there was nothing wrong with it.

So he left this line in Romon Bachelor's notebook:

The unknown unknown man won the first war, which for some reason he insisted on calling the Battle of Cannae.

After clearing the battlefield, Stannis found that his victory was so great that he had captured more than a hundred prisoners alone, and even more so many weapons and equipment, and if he fought a few more battles, he would become the richest lord of the Duchy of Tanis.

"Boss, boss!" Robert ran over excitedly, jumping happily, "You see so many things have been seized, can you give me some ...... Hey!" he laughed.

Stannis glanced at him, knowing what the kid was thinking.

"Ah, you think you want a reward, right? I'll give it to you, but now we'll have to clean up the battlefield and then divide the spoils. ”

"So what are we going to do next?" asked Korodov as he walked over.

"Of course it's to continue the war, anyway, it's the war they started first, I won't stupidly stop the war in such a good situation, how about we take advantage of the situation to take their territory down?"

After a big victory, Stannis's ambitions also began to swell, why not? His original goal was to annex the territories of the three minor lords and turn them into his provinces, and now that these guys have suffered a heavy blow, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of his illness to kill him.

His three subordinates looked at each other, they had never thought of this kind of thing, annexing a lord in the Western Continent, no matter how small his title was, was a very shocking event, because these lords had been intermarried with each other for a long time, and they were all related to each other, and it was really a hornet's nest to move one, not to mention that this time he had to annex three.

Stannis can't manage so much, now his mind is full of the majesty of when he became a duke, everyone has to obey the order, "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield in the afternoon, everyone can rest and sleep well at night, and tomorrow morning will be like those three territories!" After saying that, he ignored the three subordinates and turned to leave.

Early the next morning, Stannis led his army to march towards the Dill family, the reason why he chose this family first was because he saw that Dill was the leader and brain of the three people, and the other two were dragging their feet, and soon the Dir family, who had lost all their troops, had no chance to organize resistance, and Stennis's army drove through two villages in a row, directly under the Dill family's castle.

In less than half a day, they surrounded the castle.

Compared with the ugly stone monsters of the Justinian family, the castle of the Dill family was built very well, and a high wall was built around the perimeter of the castle, on which a strong wooden wall was built, and the main tower stood in front of the castle, forming a second line of defense, through the arrow holes on the second floor, Stannis could see people running around with bows and arrows in the back.

"Haha!" Stannis laughed as he crossed his hips, and it was finally his turn to attack the city

However, after lunch, he found a great problem, that is, how to take the castle.

But fortunately, he took the engineer Speer from the territory overnight last night, and now with the help of the engineer, he felt that it could be said that it would be an overnight attack to capture this castle, which was several times more handsome than his own castle.

"My Chief Engineer, how much do you think we're going to have to spend to download a castle?"

Speer began to calculate as he took out his pen again, and Stannis hummed a song, and now he was in a good mood, and felt that it would be easy to take the castle, and then the territory of the Stag family would be incorporated into his own territory, and he would be able to obtain large fertile fields.

After careful calculations, Speer raised his head and said seriously, "About three months." ”

Stannis almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, and then scolded, "What? In three months, I can gnaw this castle down with my teeth, did you miscalculate?"

"Absolutely not. "It would take two weeks just to build an apparatus that could effectively attack the castle, and two weeks to collapse the outer stone walls without using trebuchets day and night, not including the lack of labor caused by the constant wear and tear of your manpower during the siege." ”

Stannis, at last, knew why the gang had worked so hard to build these stone fortresses, and they were really good defensively.

He didn't have that long to delay, so he had to find another plan, "Then we won't besiege the city, then we can only take other methods." ”

Master Romon asked curiously, "Do you have any other strategies?"

Stannis looked at him with a solid look in his chest, then rode to the foot of the main tower, stood far away from the range of the bow and arrow, and shouted, "Tell your lords, I want to negotiate!"
