Chapter 172: Victory
On the vast Lutian Plain, two armies representing the different forces of the Kingdom of Gilgia collided.
Riding on a white steed and watching the battlefield ahead, the Gilgidian king Dulaika gradually showed a smile on his face, and the difference in strength allowed Dulaika's army to gain the upper hand in the battle.
The three-way army commanded by the commander of the royal army, Camenor, suppressed all the three-way army on the side of Ziyang City.
"General Nice, the enemy forces have besieged us. An officer reported to the commander of the army on the right flank, that Meng Fan had divided his 100,000 troops into three routes at the beginning, with the 40,000 troops in the middle being commanded by Meng Fan's close subordinate Geruya, the 20,000 troops on the left flank being commanded by Dorn, the city defense officer of Ziyang City, and the 40,000 troops on the right flank being commanded by Nice.
There were still 20,000 well-equipped cavalry in Nice's right flank army, and the commander of the royal army, Carmenor, noticed that the enemy's main force was on the right flank, so Carmeno arranged 120,000 troops on his left flank, and when the battle began, the left flank of the royal army quickly surrounded the enemy's right flank, and nearly three times as many enemies besieged Nice and others in the center.
"Spearmen, rush forward. "Camenor sent spearmen to charge at the enemy cavalry besieged in the center, and the spears attacked at a long distance and could stab the cavalry on horseback.
Several spears stretched out, and one of the horsemen, stabbed into a hedgehog by a sharp spear, rolled under his horse.
Wielding the weapon in his hand, Ness struggled to resist the enemy who was gradually surrounding, the enemy army was shrinking the encirclement, Ness looked up, and the surrounding area was densely packed with enemy soldiers, and now it was very difficult to escape.
Claude had told himself before the battle began that the situation on the battlefield would change, but Nice did not see the kind of change that Claude had said now.
Just when Ness was feeling anxious, an enemy general in silver armor rode towards Nice, and Nice was about to meet the enemy general, but the man in silver armor came to Nice and did not fight Nice.
"Whew" A fighting spirit was waved, and the silver-armored man helped Ness eliminate more than a dozen enemies. "I am Cody, the commander of the Territory Army of Liyang City, and I am here to answer at the behest of Lord Sisera. The silver-armored man spoke loudly to Ness.
Ness looked up, and the enemy forces that had surrounded him suddenly opened a gap, and the direction of this gap was directly opposite the position of King Dulaika in the rear.
"Assault on the whole army. Without the slightest hesitation, Ness led his cavalry in the direction of the gap.
"Stop them. The commander of the royal army, Carmenor, hurriedly dispatched his soldiers to stop it, but the Liyang City Territory Army struggled to stop the royal army from covering the cavalry charge of Nice.
"Your Majesty, the enemy is rushing towards this side, let's retreat quickly. A royal general in charge of guarding the king said anxiously.
"Cicela, a dog mongrel, betrayed me. Dulaika shouted angrily as she turned her mount and fled towards the western edge of the Lutian Plains.
"Your king has fled. "Lay down your arms and surrender, and His Highness Warren will absolve you of your sins. The soldiers on the Ziyang City side chanted on the battlefield.
King Dulaika's flight shook the morale of the royal army, and the soldiers on the side of Ziyang City became more and more courageous, and the situation on the battlefield soon tilted to the other side of the scales.
At the end of March 7145 in the Guangming calendar, the army supporting Prince Warren and the royal army under King Dulaika conducted a battle on the Lutian Plain, due to the betrayal of the territory army of Liyang City, 20,000 cavalry led by Nice broke out of the encirclement, and Dulaika, who had been king for less than two months, was slashed off by the chasing Nice on the west side of the Lutian Plain, and with the death of Dulaika, the royal army gave up resistance and surrendered their weapons one after another.
After the end of the First Battle of the Lutian Plain, Prince Warren returned to the royal capital Cangyun City, and the people in Cangyun City cheered to celebrate the return of His Royal Highness Hualun.
The royal ministers and generals who supported Dulaika were ordered to be executed, and troops were sent to help the lords of Dulaika, and the royal family adopted a moderate policy of making these lords pay double the annual tax for ten years.
This is because there are too many lords who support Dulaika in the war, and if these lords are executed, it will cause a new civil strife in the Kingdom of Gilgia, and the royal family also knows that these lords only joined Dulaika because of the strength of Dulaika's side, and the lords are not really against Prince Warren inheriting the throne.
In Cangyun City, in the palace council hall, the enthronement ceremony was held, and the king of Gilgias, Warren, who officially inherited the throne, sat on a throne made of pure gold, and a chair made of sandalwood was placed on one side of the throne.
"In the war with the rebel Dulaika's side of the forces, Claude Kuru made great achievements, after the discussion of the royal council, it was decided to restore the title of Marquis of Claude and the status of the lord of Black Rock City, Lord Claude led the army to defeat the rebels, and the restoration of the title and territory alone was not enough to recognize Lord Claude's great achievements, the royal council decided to appoint Claude Kuru as the prime minister, and crowned the auxiliary minister......" The chamberlain Taria stood in front of the council hall and read aloud the reward to Meng Fan.
"His Majesty Warren Tse's trust, and the Chancellor Claude Kuru will do his best to assist His Majesty Warren and live up to the glory of the royal family. Meng Fan walked out of the crowd in the council hall and knelt on one knee to salute the king who was sitting above.
Standing behind the ministers, the nobles looked at the young black-haired man with respect and envy, at this moment, Meng Fan felt extremely happy in his heart, he had traveled to the Qinglan Continent for six years, and now he had finally become a figure above 10,000 people under one person in the Gilgia Kingdom, from a nobody in Ziyang City to the prime minister of the Gilgia Kingdom, an auxiliary minister, Meng Fan only took six years.
"The second order of the royal council is now announced. Talia, the chamber of attendants, spoke again.
"The general of the royal army, Nice, arrived in time to protect His Majesty the King when His Majesty Warren was pursued by the rebels, and in the battle of the Lutian Plains, General Nice led his army to kill the traitor Dulaika, in view of the loyalty and bravery of General Nice, the royal council decided to appoint General Nice as the marshal to command all the royal armies in the Kingdom of Gilgias, and crowned the Marshal of Nice as an auxiliary minister, and assisted the king together with the prime minister Claude......"
Ness walked out of the crowd and knelt down on one knee to thank His Majesty the King, and Meng Fan, who was standing on the side, couldn't help but change his face when he saw the scene in front of him.
The Kyrgyz royal family kept the agreement with themselves and made Meng Fan the prime minister and auxiliary minister, but Meng Fan didn't expect the royal family to play this trick and let Nice serve as the marshal and also be crowned as the auxiliary minister, obviously, this is the Kyrgidian royal family wants to balance themselves.
Meng Fan looked up, the little king Warren sitting on the throne did not know the meaning behind these two orders, and the eyes of the queen mother Freya, who was sitting next to the king, met Meng Fan at this moment, Freya smiled at Meng Fan, this beautiful blonde woman was still so charming when she smiled, which made Meng Fan fascinated.
