Manual typography doesn't work......

The priest prayed reluctantly, but it worked—two knights volunteered to join the procession.

"My plan wasn't that bad." Luo Yi, who felt that she had been recognized, was very happy.

Her plan was inspired by termites fighting anteaters.

When the smell of soldier ants in the air is strong enough to tell the anteaters that the number of unpalatable and powerful soldier ants has exceeded the number of delicious worker ants, it will force the anteater to retreat.

Sometimes, a battle doesn't have to be a real battle to win or lose.

Luo Yi made such an abacus.

But what she didn't know was that the two knights were playing a different game.

John of Jesco and Peterson of Coria, two experienced veterans, made their battle plans with just a few glances at each other.

In the unfortunate event of an encounter with the northerners, Peterson of Couria would carry the baroness between them with his strong arms.

John of Jesko, who had a sword in his hand, was in charge of the break.

That stupid mess of troops was the cannon fodder that hindered the pursuit of the northerners.

And so they laid it out. The reason why they planned this way was because the vassals were obliged to pay the ransom for the captured lords.

For your own wallet...... You have to take a risk. Otherwise, they wouldn't have left the castle. Luo Yi didn't know anything about the plans of these two knights.

She perfected her plan with all her might, including working overtime to make a batch of brooms for the dust-making effect—reeds for the paper-making workshop, and a bunch of flags, all papier-mâché, each given a side.

In this way, the Demon King carried a banner and waved it, and the people shouted and neighed, and the small but diverse team set off towards Tournest.

The process of pulling out the team was not smooth.

First of all, Luo Yi finally persuaded the old Jacob to retreat with great effort, and tried to sneak behind the team, and Luo Yi had to try to drive him home.

Secondly, this pavement, cough, is really not generally rotten. A few students who were in charge of driving the ducks to the shelves drove the car into the ditch from time to time.

"When the war is over, we will have a horseback riding and driving lesson." Luo Yi thought helplessly, she was not optimistic about the riding ability of these serf children, but she forgot that driving a car was also a technical job in these years.

As for the big brooms and military flags that were temporarily tied up, because the carriage was too bumpy and fell apart halfway, it could no longer be regarded as a matter.

Seeing this chaotic scene, two people also realized that something was wrong and tried to be deserters, but they were suppressed by two knights on the spot - it was easy to bet the cannon fodder that could block the northerners so far, how could they let them escape?

However, what everyone never expected was that the first wave of attacks they encountered came from the citizens of Turnest......

Hearing the news of the attack on Turnest, it was a day after the attack on Turnest that a meeting was held and the team was mobilized, and it was two days after the attack on Tournest that made reed brooms and flags, and it took another day......

The daylilies are cold!

In these four days, the citizens of Tournest had withstood the attacks of the northerners.

After all, there were ten thousand citizens in Turnest, ten times as many as the incoming northerners, and they were more familiar with the terrain of the city, and there was enough in the city to make barricades - those containers and stalls were ready-made.

The citizens are also quite organized.

This is when the city guilds show their strength.

Guild Masters—Masters—Apprentices and Helpers—and some of the craftsmen were originally weapons makers, or slaughtered guilds who had played with knives all their lives.

There is also a peculiar advantage.

After sweeping through their target market area, the northerners ran into the "Merchant", a stronghold of St. Ommel's merchants.

These strangers had no way out of the land and could not flee to the forest outside the city like the natives, and they had a pre-built wall against the natives, which they used to meet the attackers.

Therefore, after the first wave of attacks, the battle quickly entered a stalemate.

The northerners, finding that they had no siege engines and could not take advantage of them, retreated with the booty and the captured prisoners, and before leaving, set a fire to Tournest.

When Luo Yi's team came, the citizens of Turnest, who were busy fighting the fire, thought that the northerners had killed a horse pistol!

Fortunately, they both knew each other, and the misunderstanding was quickly resolved.

The townspeople politely rejected Luo Yi's offer to help put out the fire, and they did not trust the nobles who lived in the countryside.

Luo Yi's team went home without firing a single shot.

The northerners did not go straight back to their homes, they went the other way, and no matter what they saw along the way, they could only kill or burn.

None of the nobles dared to stand up to "protect the people", some of them hid in their castles, some gave the northerners their property and hostages, and some simply joined the gangs of the northerners or imitated their deeds, looting and burning everywhere.

Upon hearing the unfortunate news of the looting and burning of Turnest and many other places, His Majesty the King made his home in the Grand Abbey and passed the throne to his seven-year-old son.

Before the ass of the new king was hot on the throne, the envoys of the northerners came, and they demanded that the king pay them the equivalent of six hundred thousand sheep in silver or in kind, and provide them with grain and grass before they left this unfortunate country.

They were looted, burned, and had to pay war reparations to provide food and forage for the robbers and their horses and livestock.

The roof leak happened to rain overnight.

However, the northerners are still fiercely entrenched in the land of this country, and will attack again at any time.

How can we make up the amount demanded by the northerners?

The trick that the ministers finally came up with was something that Luo Yi was very familiar with, in fact, in the country where she was before she crossed, there was a special idiom for this trick......

Balzac once wrote in the "Bank of Nuchingen": "There is a man in the ministry who is very talented, and he wants reform, and if his reform succeeds, France will be able to restore its vitality and continue to do the cause of disturbing the nations, so we will drive him away for the sake of peace among the nations and peoples......"

This sentence can be used to perfectly describe the Song Dynasty, which was not to select the strong, but to suppress the strong.

The group of high-spirited civil officials, while thinking that the war horses were eating too much, built a large number of civil works to repair gardens and buy thin horses, and it can also be said that this is all "for the sake of the people, for the peace of the world".

The level of the Empress Dowager Cixi's military expenses to repair the garden is too much to see compared with them.

Now no one praises the Empress Dowager Cixi's misappropriation of naval funds to repair her own garden as a way to maintain peace in Japan and increase the GDP of the Qing Dynasty, but there are many people who praise these civilian officials for their extravagant enjoyment and suppression of the army as a manifestation of the civilization of the Song Dynasty, and demand that China continue to follow that path.

What is Qian Xuesen's ability to top five divisions, each of these extremely smart civil officials can top five divisions - five divisions of Liao.

The pit that made a dynasty fall a thousand years ago, the pit that made a dynasty fall a hundred years ago, and now there are still smart people who tirelessly call for people to jump into that pit, and human beings really deserve to evolve from the same group of monkeys.

Therefore, in the event of a financial crisis, the Song Dynasty would use the same tricks as Emperor Wu of Han, whom they despised, and the democratic and free American Emperor would use the same tricks as the authoritarian Emperor Wu of Han, so what was so strange that the Kingdom of Newcastle would use the same tricks as Emperor Wu of Han, which they had never heard of?

If there is a difference, it is the ultimate goal, whether it is to reward meritorious soldiers, to pay for New Year's coins, or to ...... Solve the financial crisis.

The other difference is the objective environment.
