326 Scuffle
Without obtaining further information, the Novoneutrian expeditionary force launched an attack on the palace of the exiled royal family and their volunteers recruited from other countries, as originally planned.
But just because the attack started as planned does not mean that it will go step by step as planned—even in modern battlefields with radio and radar, let alone in ancient times where there were none.
So, the outcome of this battle is the same......
"What? The city is broken? But we're not there yet! "Hearing the news of the herald in front, not to mention the Great Demon King Luo Yi, even Adair and the others, who have been in battle for a long time, are at a loss-you must know that the infantry team has not yet set off-although the palace of St. Omer cannot be compared with the city left by the ancient empire, but it is also a fortified fortress with wooden fences and trenches, how can it be broken by a group of light cavalry? Light cavalry - this TMD is not used for siege! Which book on the art of war would use light cavalry to attack the city! Well, although in actual battles, whether it is the Greeks or the Romans, it is common to use dismounted cavalry to attack the city, and the famous, Helian Bobo built the city of Tongwan (it is rumored that the barbaric and ferocious Helian Bobo in order to leave an impregnable capital for future generations, with the method of "one person builds the soil and one person holds an iron cone to pierce the earth, pierces the one who kills the cone, and pierces the one who kills the earth", kills the wilderness, and builds this incomparably strong city on the accumulated white bones) was also broken by a team of light cavalry, but ......
But they had no plans to storm the city with light cavalry!
They just sent a team of scout cavalry over to see the movement first, and then they entered the city!
But now is not a good time for them to stare at each other. Because "the front is in a fierce battle, and reinforcements are urgently needed." Well, the hussars were not meant to fight in the fortress streets. Therefore, even the Great Demon King Luo Yi immediately made a judgment: "The infantry and heavy cavalry immediately set off for reinforcements!" ”
When they arrived at the battlefield, they were even more surprised by the chaotic scene in front of them, because ......
"What the hell are they doing?"
If it were possible, the now nominal supreme commander of the exiled royal family, the Orthodox Queen Mother of Neustria, would also wonder the question - were the knights and soldiers in her base chasing, fighting, or fleeing?
I'm afraid that no one but the gods knows the right answer.
Because there are people who want to chase the enemy, want to fight, and want to escape - at this critical moment, the Duke of Ulrich, the heart of the exiled royal family of Neustria, who was already barely in charge of the people, disappeared. Let the entire palace base fall into the situation of headless flies, as the saying goes, a snake can't do without a head, and it is said that the thief captures the king first, which shows the importance of a unified command, but at this critical moment when the enemy raided and the city gate was lost, the Duke of Ulrich set off to hunt and never returned! Moreover, to accompany him. Or two exotic nobles who have just arrived in St. Omier! Can this not make the whole base a mess?
In the eyes of the courtiers in the exiled royal family, who were skilled in house fighting, the Earl of Horn and the others must have been in tandem with the attackers, luring the duke out in the name of hunting first, and then letting people attack the city. Otherwise, how can you explain that the duke did not disappear sooner or later, but he picked up this snowy day and ran out to hunt so late? This weather is not suitable for hunting! The people in their court had advised the Duke to hunt another day! These foreign nobles are really not my nationality. His heart will be different! The Duke shouldn't have trusted them, and he should have relied on them to recover Neustria! Neustria's now is not in the hands of some strongman from the north and from the south, but just a woman who has taken advantage of the chaos to pick up a bargain! They can easily clean it up on their own! It's all nonsense from foreign, unreliable mercenaries, nobles. Blowing the new government of Neustria as if inviting God to come up, so that the Duke will be deceived! This is a critical time. Please also ask the Queen Mother not to listen to the deception of those flamboyant foreigners with evil intentions, but only listen to them who are reliable natives!
And in the eyes of many foreign noble knights and soldiers in the city, how could the good city suddenly be broken! The gates are guarded by the Neustrian government-in-exile and the soldiers of the Kingdom of St. Omere! The attacking soldiers were also full of Neustrian dialect! Could it be that the exiled royal family has set their eyes on the weapons and armor they are carrying, and wants to eat black and black?
Even if they don't have such doubts in their hearts, they can't twist the power into a rope and use it. Although it is also a raid to break the city, but it is not clear from the situation when the city of Tournest was broken, the residents of Tournest City are all residents of the hometown who have lived for generations, the language is the same, they know each other, and behind them is the homeland, at the critical moment, there are famous people who know each other, such as the guild master, the president of the chamber of commerce, etc., and it is not difficult to fight the same enemy, but these noble knights come from many countries, and they do not understand each other's languages, and they do not even have the same cooperation when they serve in their own country. And most importantly - this is not their hometown! They were attracted by the loot that might be harvested by the "Liberation of Neustria", and they did not shed blood to defend the legitimate royal family of Neustria!
There was a popular joke that after the liberation, a public primary school teacher in Shanghai's Hongkou District held an open class, and in class, the teacher said, "Students, take out the little pictures." ”
As soon as the elementary school students below heard the teacher's words, they lifted their clothes in unison, exposing their bellies.
The teacher stared at the handout in front of him and said, "Students, what's on the picture?" ”
Elementary school student: "Holes." ”
Teacher: "No, it's my father and my mother's ......" At this time, the leaders of the Education Bureau who were watching couldn't stand it anymore, and pulled the teacher's sleeve, and the teacher looked up and was dumbfounded.
Why? Because in Shanghainese, "picture" and "belly" are homophonic, so the students heard "small picture out" as "little belly exposed"...... At that time, similar jokes were repeated in factories everywhere, and some of them almost caused accidents, which was also an opportunity to promote Mandarin later, otherwise it would not be possible to send workers from all over the country to complete production together.
And these knights and nobles from different countries who are usually free and casual, and there is no unified command at this time, how can they not become a pot of porridge!
If it weren't for this, the light cavalry who rushed into the city would have been wiped out long ago! After all, these noble knights were not better equipped than the temporary peasant armies with sticks and rushing to the ground, and street fighting was by no means the strength of the light cavalry - no one was as effective as the pig teammates. (To be continued......)
