330 Endgame
What should I do when I enter the city?
Adair had learned a great deal from the noblest archbishop of Neustria, and he led the men to clear the buildings, first to send all the people he caught to one place and imprison them, and then to unhurriedly seal and stamp the slightly more decent-looking possessions everywhere, and then register them like the secretaries in the back to prevent them from being lost.
"Phew, these guys are so poor." Halfway through the matter, the old pirate couldn't help but hum in his heart, saying that "poor" naturally did not mean that they were like ordinary peasants who were unclothed and hungry, no, they were all people who had no worries about food and clothing and could bring their own dry food and armament to prepare for the "recovery of Neustria", but the old pirate had long been raised by the archbishop - no way, most of the people here were not the high-ranking priests in the monastery or church who were proficient in a series of techniques for collecting money, from childbirth to abduction, Most of them had even scraped together their own armor or pawned their ancestral estates to the church, and in addition to the dry rations and armaments they carried, they could leave the old pirates with "liberated" possessions...... There are very few.
This is also a predictable result, even if there is the call of the church and the orthodox righteousness, there will not be too many madmen who have to risk their lives to become robbers who have mountains of gold and silver, and most of them are just poor and bored, pulling the tiger skin of the church's call, looking for a chance to make a windfall. And even if the rich people are tired of living an ordinary life, they will not carry most of their belongings with them, not to mention that the property of the nobles is mainly immovable real estate rather than gold and silver, so when the old pirates count the seizures. It's nowhere near as blissful as going down to a church or a big monastery.
However, he was not completely out of nothing. Like what......
"Ah, this curly grass pattern. It seems to be an antiquity two hundred years old," said Adair's fingers, accustomed to drawing the bow and sword, now caressing the pages, "the monasteries of that time loved this now-unfashionable pattern, as a trim for holy books, which is not a manuscript of the present day—ah, I have found, the most remarkable monarchs, the kings of Tugauin and Blatter. and the most glorious lady, Queen Tanisha, who consecrates this ancient book for the salvation of their souls and those of their kinsmen...... It's an antique, and it's gone! ”
The old pirate, who was of the eighth level in the antique appraisal profession - the direction of the identification of relics in churches and monasteries - came to a categorical conclusion, and he was very sure, because although he had not read any books on archaeology or collecting, he had personally touched the treasures of many monasteries and churches for many years, thanks to the blessing of robbery. Recently, I have been interning for a period of time with the most respectable archbishop, who came from a regular academic class, and I will never make the mistake of selling antique books as ordinary books! With his experience and experience, it is more than enough to write his own book!
After appreciating the value of what he possessed, he happily kept the book in his precious collection. At this time, I heard someone coughing from behind.
"Ah, Your Majesty." Adair turned around unhurriedly, without the slightest embarrassment of being caught red-handed with his loot in secret. He generously explained to her: "My children need to learn more about Orthodoxy......
His words are not all nonsense, there is some sincerity in them. After a certain period of internship with the most honorable and noble archbishop, the old pirate felt deeply that he was too shallow in the business of robbery, and that there were many mistakes in the direction and the addition of points, and he had already made up his mind that he should not teach his children to follow the wrong path as he did, but should learn from the Church as soon as possible the ability to make money with his mouth and quill. Of course, with his strength, although he has many children, he can still afford a book per person, but it's not wrong to let them learn antique relics appraisal first, right?
"Oh." Although Luo Yi saw the scene of Adair's "liberation" of the antique book, she did not mean to intervene, and she was really worried about a lot of things now: first, the orthodox king and the queen mother fled to a nearby fortified fortress through the guò tunnel before the city was broken, and now they are resisting there stubbornly; Secondly, a large part of the foreign nobles and knights gathered here were not captured or exterminated, and they all ran through another gate, otherwise the siege would not have gone so smoothly; The most important thing is that she finally understands what the chaos was during the previous siege!
The scout light cavalry was originally ordered to reconnoiter whether the enemy was prepared here, but at that time, a royal guard set off from the city in order to find the duke and others who had not returned for a long time, and collided with them!
This is not a big deal for the scouts, they relied on their horsepower, like walking dogs, easily ran a big circle and threw them off, yes, at that time they remembered that they were scouts, not charging soldiers, they were so conscientious and responsible, that after throwing off the guard, they still remember to go to the city gate to reconnoitre, and then they found that the defenders of the city regarded them as foreign nobles who often came to defect, and did not close the city gate.
There were not many people who could endure this good opportunity, and unfortunately, the leader at that time was a man who could judge the shape of the battlefield rather than stick to the order - Francis volunteered to participate in the reconnaissance because of the extraordinary depression caused by his father, and when he saw the rare opportunity, he used the power of the commander-in-chief to seize the command of this light cavalry, seized the city gate, sent someone to report back, and then ......
"When our army attacked, fearlessly, I set fire to the city to respond, this was a plan that had been discussed beforehand." It was for this ploy that Beryl had stayed behind to "guard the shop" after the merchant had left ahead of schedule for the sake of this ploy - although, in the words of Chief of Staff Jason, "where he was ready to answer, he was clearly too lazy to move!" But as soon as he heard that the city was being attacked, he still became very diligent and set fire to the city several times, which is why the expeditionary force smoked in places that did not hit.
And the guard, who had been slipped, hurried back because of the smoke in the city, and almost made dumplings for the light cavalry troops that had attacked the city......
All in all, the previous chaotic situation was the result of all parties due to the fog of the battlefield, fortunately, although the light cavalry troops suffered some losses because of this kind of risk, the siege of the city was also a little smoother, when it came to merit, Luo Yi felt that it was difficult to judge for a while, and he didn't know whether he should punish the person who gave the order, and the most important thing is that there is a premise for punishment - the person who gave the order can survive, and she is not optimistic about this premise now. (To be continued......)
PS: 1. I will rewrite Yangui after the end of this article, and there will be major changes in the plot
2. To clarify, the battle in which the protagonist dies in the article by Crossing Girl from Scratch is not the final battle, and the final expulsion of the invaders and the reorganization of the rivers and mountains rely on the power possessed by the awakened Great Chu itself
