Chapter 522: Give it up

In the midst of the wind and snow, the soldiers stopped, some set up pots in the rear to boil hot water, and others began to dig trenches in front, each performing their duties. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Although the outline of the Iron Helmet Castle is already vivid, it is due to the flat terrain and no obstacles, so I really need to rush to the castle.

It would have taken them another hour or two to march, and they had gone through the march, although it was perfectly fine to go into battle immediately, and they had experienced the baptism of fire.

But before the enemy is dispatched, they will not be able to attack the city like this, let alone catapults, not even stairs.

The soldiers complained during the first time they had crossed the Taron Mountains that they did not have the confidence to make it to the province of Ironwall.

After all, this is something that no one has done before, and in the face of wind and snow blocking the road, there are constantly companions who fall into the air and fall to the bottom of the cliff without a whole body.

Many people have had the idea of giving up, and some people even can't stand marching on the snow ridge day after day, but they never see the end of the boring life and go crazy.

No matter how determined they were when they left the City of Roses, the experience they would experience in reality and the conviction in their hearts were ultimately different.

But they persevered during this long journey, and became the writers of history, overcoming the mountains.

Having experienced both battlefield and inner tests, they have become the most elite warriors, even young men in their early twenties.

When he looked at Iron Helmet City from afar, there was also a resolute look on his immature cheeks, yes, they were still confused at first.

But now everyone's will is as strong as an unstoppable spear, and they believe that under the leadership of this lord, they will be invincible!

"My lord, our front is too far behind, will they really take the initiative to go out of the city?

Crouff walked over and handed Lin Ye a cup of hot water, he looked at the location of the Iron Helmet City, and there was no movement that Lin Ye said for the time being.

"It's not good for us to fight too far, they can calmly retreat back to the city as long as they suffer a setback, they can't give them a fatal blow, and the terrain that continues to go forward is too flat, and we can't take advantage of the geographical advantage, so this position is the most perfect. ā€

Lin Ye took a sip of water, Lancelot was deploying soldiers in front of him, and many soldiers took out dried meat and ate it with hot water.

This air-dried jerky, though particularly chewy and difficult to swallow, is easily satiating, and they rely on it to cross the Talen Mountains.

However, the soldiers in the rear began to cook fresh meat in the pot, which had been purchased from various cities, after all, they had now left the no-man's land.

With the thick banknotes that Lin Ye carried on his body, he could buy goods without carrying a large amount of gold and silver, and the banking industry has developed rapidly in the past few years.

Not only the ports, but also the banking business of the Far East gradually expanded to the inland areas, and the banknotes issued by the Far East were increasingly recognized.

"Speaking of which, this kind of money really works, it can buy so many things with such a little lightness, but my lord, if it works so well, why do we have to carry so much treasure out of Hammer City?

After they conquered Hammer City, they distributed some of the treasure they had obtained from the governor's palace, and took the rest with them.

However, along the way, there are villages and towns along the way, and almost every city will repeat such a process.

"At first glance it is a wasted effort, but compared to banknotes, the treasure is more shocking and convincing, after all, many local farmers have not seen banknotes, and are still very new to this kind of thing, and the reason why we want to take the treasure with us is because it was originally looted by Kamal. ā€

"To return to the people the wealth he has taken from the people, and although it is impossible to return every cent of it to its original owner, we want to show an attitude to overthrow the tyranny of Kamal and let the people stand on their own feet, and let them choose their own destiny on their own initiative, rather than passively accept it. ā€

Lin Ye patiently answered his question, although many people were puzzled by his approach, and they all thought that there was a better choice.

For example, these soldiers were conscripted into the army to strengthen the army, and in fact many young people joined the army when they left the city.

"It sounds reasonable, but I still don't understand it, but my lord, so many people are willing to join the army, why don't you let them join?"

Crouff threw out this most incomprehensible question, the people of Tiebi Province for a week, especially the peasants in the villages and towns.

Their willingness to join the army is very high, and there are thousands of young men who are willing to join the army, but they are all politely rejected by Lin Ye, which is really incomprehensible.

This can obviously increase their own military power and give them more confidence to maneuver around the heart of the empire, so why turn them away?

"Having them join the army will ostensibly strengthen us and allow us to have more troops, but firstly, they have no military training and their combat effectiveness is mediocre, secondly, they lack sufficient equipment and weapons, they fight with blood, and finally, they will slow down our march. ā€

"What we are doing now is not a tug-of-war, but relying on the speed of the march to form a fire that spreads rapidly on the grassland, once these troops are accepted, our speed slows down, and it is easy to be targeted by the enemy. ā€

Lin Ye stood up and looked in the direction of the city, but it was not Iron Helmet City, but another city that could not be seen in this position.

The entire empire is the most prosperous and peaking, and it can be ranked among the top three royal capitals in the entire continent! If you send troops from here, it will only take three days to reach the city.

But he knew that he didn't have the ability to attack the royal capital yet, and if he wanted to do that, he had to make more preparations.

"I see, but will the army in the Iron Helmet really come out? ā€

Crouff reminded again that the three-day food stock meant that if they couldn't take the Iron Helmet City, they would be in a predicament of running out of food.

In this case, they must leave in search of rations, for the lone army who has launched a surprise attack deep into the heartland.

Logistics supply is always the most important link, and it can be said that the central army of the empire is planted on this point.

"Don't worry, their situation is not the same as ours in Rose City at the time, they have a reason to fight, at this moment, I am afraid that there is a discussion going on in the Iron Helmet City whether they should send troops, but I believe that they will come out soon. ā€

"And give up the whole city!"
