Chapter 116: There is no way back
The intelligence brought back by Dadashir made Li Feng have to think deeply, because he couldn't be sure whether Gesilant would be able to defeat the Crescent City with the support of the Principality of Li Chu, if the Marquis of Pabu lost this battle, then it would undoubtedly be a decisive defeat for the Marquis of Pabhu's conquest of Crescent Island!
Even Pak Bhu had to guard against such a neighbor that he had attacked, and after this battle, the balance between Pak Bhu and Crescent Moon was completely broken. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
This is the real stealing of chickens and rice, but since Gexirant has not withdrawn, it seems that the outcome of this battle is still an odd number.
Li Feng did not share this information with Justin, because Li Feng did not want Justin to hesitate to send troops because of this matter, and the capture of Crescent Island was of great significance to the expansion of the Marquis of Pabhu, so why not for Li Feng?
The old noble lords of Pabu Island have already carved up the few territories on Pabu Island, and the territories obtained by the new nobles are all divided by these old noble lords from their own territories.
Think about it, what jackal is willing to spit out the fat that has already eaten his stomach, and even if he spit it out, do you dare to eat it? Not to mention anything else, how many years have passed under their rule, and they may have much greater control over the territory than you, the titular lord, and even after you go to take office, you will find that you are a bare-bones commander.
The commander of the bare pole is not terrible, and it is not terrible for the army of the territory to not support you, but what you are most afraid of is that you will not be popular with the people! If the people's hearts are lost, what else is there to talk about? Is it meaningful?
And Crescent Island is different, the prerequisite for capturing Crescent Island must be to kill all the big lords of Crescent Island, or at least bind them, this large territory is the best territory for the new nobles.
Not only did Gexirant, the lord of the country, save the people of Crescent Island from the trouble of not returning to their hearts, but also did not gather a large number of new nobles, which was very helpful for dividing the old nobles and establishing a new aristocratic system to compete with them.
In Li Feng's mind, the most ideal place to be a territory is on Crescent Island, where he can not only escape the attention of more forces, but also provide a natural guarantee for the development of forces in secret. Moreover, the recognition and loyalty of the people of Crescent Island to the Marquis of Pabhu and Gexirant will inevitably not be too high, which is very necessary for Li Feng to train a group of pro-soldiers who only obey his orders.
Li Feng doesn't have any die-hard thoughts, he is determined to be in the world, and he can't be subservient to others forever.
To sum up, taking Crescent Island before the end of the Chaotic Moon is not only Gexirant's urgent need, but also a rare good thing for Li Feng.
However, the form of a few days ago seems to be a little urgent, starting from Gexirant's division of troops to fight, there are only 2,000 elite Demon Slayer Hall mercenaries and about 27,000 or 8,000 official regular troops of the Marquis of Pabhu by his side, which is only 30,000 troops in total, and it seems to be difficult for some strong people to take the Crescent City under the protection of the Principality of Li Chu.
As an old principality, the Principality of Li Chu has a history of thousands of years, and on the threshold of promoting from the Hou State to the Principality, I don't know how many talented Hou Guo lords have driven crazy, and the strength of a principality is often not the vastness of the territory and the number of people, but they have a variety of advanced weapons and equipment. Like the magic cannon, the Marquis of Pabhu, which had just been founded, was barely able to make some simple small magic cannons, and the more advanced magic cannons could only be imported from the Hailiu Principality.
There are also many advanced shipbuilding, iron-smelting technology is a thick barrier for the promotion of the Hou State to the principality, if you want to break this barrier and obtain higher-level technical means, in addition to step-by-step research and development, there is also a quick way to stand on the shoulders of giants!
Every year, a low-level country will send students and spies to its suzerain, or other countries with more developed civilizations! Students are used to learn some conventional techniques, and as for spies, as the name suggests, they naturally want to steal core technologies.
No country's ruler likes spies, so the way to deal with them is to say "die!"
Lighting a lantern without humanity, slashing a thousand knives on the body, and then sprinkling salt on it, causing you to die painfully, all kinds of torture are born according to the needs of the times.
However, after ordering the disposal of a group of spies from other countries, he will continue to send spies carefully trained by his own country to other countries to obtain other high-tech technologies that have not yet been developed in his own country....
In this cycle, in the end, it is the spies who sacrifice their lives for their country and steal information, and the spies are shouted and beaten by everyone in the countries of the Sea of Chaos, but who can really understand their suffering.
The battle between the higher countries and the lower countries is basically a crushing trend, but fortunately, the Principality of Li Chu should still be troubled by endless demons and the evil neighbors around him at this time, so it cannot send more troops to support Crescent Island.
However, this is only 3,000 people, which is enough for the newly established country of Pabhu to drink a pot, and it was originally a siege battle that swept through the past and did not have much difficulty, but at this time, it suddenly evolved into a confrontation between the two sides across the city, and the stalemate was settled.
This army has not moved, the grain and grass first, in order to take the crescent island quickly, so there is not much grain and grass to carry, if you can't fight quickly, when the grain and grass are not enough, it will be the death period of the Pabhu Marquis, and when the time comes, you can only retreat without a fight!
On the one hand, it was the pressure of the Principality of Li Chu, and on the other hand, his suzerainty was a little dissatisfied with the fact that he Gecilant was a strong country.
If you retreat along the way, not only will the Principality of Li Chu not appreciate it, but there will definitely be no attenuation in the accounts that should be calculated, and the Principality of Hailiu will not necessarily treat the Marquis of Pabhu, in the sea of chaos, there is no backer, and it provokes a behemoth, which is very dangerous, and if you make a slight mistake, it will be a catastrophe.
So now Gexirant can only catch ducks on the shelves, and it is difficult for strongmen, but as long as he can take the entire territory of Crescent Island before the end of the Chaotic Moon, everything will still have a turnaround.
After all, the Marquis of Pabhu is still nominally a subordinate state of the Hailiu Principality, and the expanded territory of the subordinate state is also an affirmation of the strength of the Hailiu Principality.
You must know that even if the Marquis of Pabhu is established, it still needs to make offerings to his suzerain, the Hailiu Principality, every year, and the territory of the Pabhu Marquis is larger, and the taxes collected are more, so naturally, there will be more offerings to the Hailiu Principality, so the Hailiu Principality is still obliged to help the Pabu Marquis resist the Lichu Principality.
But all this must be based on the fact that the Marquis of Prabhu can take the Crescent Island before the end of the Chaotic Moon!, otherwise the disgraced Principality of the Sea Stream will not be stingy and throw a subordinate state out to dissipate the anger of the Principality of Lichu.
Gexirant now has no way to retreat, advance or live, retreat or die!
