"Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"We're pulling back a little bit and giving up this piece of land and adding the river bank ahead. Some of the Earl's defender knights have been rebelled by us, but I don't believe them, who knows if these wall grasses are also the Earl's counter-plots?

Write a letter to the castle and send it to them, saying that our army is sick, and there is also a Judah riot in the Milan territory in the rear, and I will lead the team to go back privately, in order to win this riverbank, we have nearly a thousand dead and wounded, so easily let it out, the other party has a good chance of taking the bait.

They took away the use of the riverbank, and our people were still watching them all around, and they were not well fed, and they would not build fortifications, but if they really wanted to build, in two days, they would be too tired to move, and the turtles would retreat back to the city.

I'm doing this so that they can attack most of us, or break out of the rest of the world.

These cities of the other party are too strong, and if they share the food and slaughter all the war horses, they can last for seven or eight more days.

With nearly 30,000 troops, the military expenses we have to bear every day are too heavy, and if we fight a direct decisive battle and deal with the main force of the other side, we may be able to surrender them within a day.

If they really came, it also means that the nobles of the correspondence are all hypocritically submitted, and after the matter is completed, they will be settled, and if the earl does not come, they will wait and see what happens for a day or two. ”

Lure the enemy into battle and wait for work.

As soon as Simon and Ambu got the order, they went down to set it up.

Cana doesn't like Ambu very much, this person's cruelty is notoriously known, and he not only did this kind of thing at the beginning of the night, but also skinned the criminals in the collar!

This is due to Ambu's pathological personality after several escapes from death, and he likes to use violence and high pressure to solve all problems.

Ambu's men have also insulted other civilian mountain girls.

A knight like Arnold can be regarded as a loyal and reliable nobleman, and for a person like Ambu, Cana doesn't understand why Bran is more important, and the reprimand is often a painless fine or the like.

"Your Highness, you seem to like His Excellency Ambu very much? He just spoke rudely, and you forgive him. "Jana has an idea.

"There are dirty things that people always have to do, and those who do them are willing to do them, so why not do it."

Cana wanted to say something, but Bran said she was dressed.

“?“

"Don't you want to give me a baby?"

Bran pinched Jana's chin and lifted her head to look at the face.

"Give birth to a daughter, so that you can be given a fief, let you be the lord, and find a promising son-in-law to join in."

His own bloodline will become more and more noble, and it is not a bad thing to have more descendants to marry.

When Bran pressed Cana under him, the cross on Jana's body suddenly hurt her skin and she screamed.

"Your Highness, I have holy relics on me, please allow me...... so as not to blaspheme. “

Bran said coldly, "I am your god. ”

A small sharp cross, which grazed Jana's arm, stained with a bright red mark.

"It hurts, Your Highness......"

The blacksmith outside mended the horseshoe, drilled in procession, and fetched water to cook it...... The sound of the tent was drowned out by various voices.

Bran went to sleep, and when he stepped out of the tent again, the sun in the sky was as red as blood.

Arnold stood behind Bran, and the two carefully avoided Bran's shadow.

"Arnold, it's almost over......"

......

"Kaesong."

The horse's hooves stomped on the ground, leaving dents.

Looking down from above, an armed force came with a baggage.

The man who came was the Count of Nehdomon, who took three thousand men from the main city, and brought with them some rye and barley, and some bread, but these things were a drop in the pan.

The city lord who received him went to see him in the back, counted the number and said bitterly, "The defenders of the northern city have been besieged by this bastard for twelve days, and now they can't even eat enough women, Your Excellency, plus your troops, we now have an army of up to six thousand, if we don't break through, within two and a half days, these grains can be eaten up in a few meals." ”

The fat eldest son Dobei beside Nehdomon heard it and said angrily, "Bran, this bastard has planned it a long time ago, and after the beginning of the year, he deliberately exchanged a batch of low-cost luxury goods for a large amount of food for us, all in order to make us suffer from the predicament of undernourishment, it is too hateful, if I survive this time, I must make the border of the Milanese forever peaceful,

Don't his men like to peel their skins? I'll let them try the taste of bones falling outside!"

"You still have the face to say, I will take care of the government affairs for you, what have you let the territory economy infiltrate by the Milanese?"

Nehedomon threw the blame, but Dobei was dissatisfied in his heart, if it weren't for your father to tear up the alliance with Africa and attack another county, how could no one help now?

The Earl came to the city wall, looked at the mighty army in the distance, and asked the defenders around him about the recent battle, and got bad news.

He clenched his fists, originally after this year, after digesting the annexed new territory, he would also call himself a duke, but now in the situation, it would be good for him to die well!

He looked at the Milan army and heard that there were 50,000? I sighed incessantly, and at night, someone came to report that the enemy's bonfire was weakening.

He was once again in the city, and the enemy fire was decreasing with a speed visible to the naked eye.

Several of the defender knights went up to the female wall and said, "Near the riverbank in front of the city, there is more than half of the bonfire the night before, is there something wrong with the enemy?"

was originally waiting for death, but now there seems to be a glimmer of life.

The anxious eyes of the crowd radiated a light of expectation.

But the night was shrouded, and the Earl and the others could only wait until tomorrow morning to explore.

By the next morning, when the sun could barely be seen, the Count had been awake for a long time, and he was eating ham, eggs, beef, and fruit wine in his room, and even his beard was stained with food fat.

After a hearty meal, he returned to the Castle Knight's dining room.

The food was tight, and everyone ate normally.

When he arrived, the Count called for the feast.

In order to save food, the nobles in the house also ate very little.

The name "good man" has made the earl act in front of everyone for a long time, and he also took the initiative to distribute the food on his table to the people around him.

"You eat more, I'm old, I can't go into battle, and the safety of the territory depends on you."

After Brandy's rebellion, the good earl abandoned all those suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and the priests and knights in the house were all he could believe at the moment.

One of the knights, who had received the earl's share of the food, was moved to take out the letter.

"Your Excellency, this is a letter of bribery from the Milanese."

After the knight took it out, several more people took out the letters, all of which were bribed letters from Milanese.

When Duke Never was unconscious, his son and his men sold Duke Never, and he ended up jumping off the female wall.

But Nehdomon's purchase of the human heart was one level higher than Nefer's.

Now that the territory is empty of treasures, but there is no food, the earl came here last night and brought out all the treasures of the territory and distributed them to the nobles who defended the city.

Therefore, when the mountains and rivers are exhausted, these people do not betray him easily.

The knight who took out the letter first said, "Your Excellency, half an hour ago, my men have been in contact with the Milanese on the bank of the river, according to the intelligence, it seems that some soldiers have suddenly fallen ill with a fever, so avoid the damp places on the riverbank. There was also a Judean unrest behind Milan. ”

After listening to his subordinates' explanations, the earl asked people to go up to the female wall to watch, and sent people to visit many times.

"Milan has a lot of eyes, so let's be careful."

When he was sure that there was no danger on the riverbank, the Count asked the eldest son to take a group of men to the shore.

But the fortifications on this bank of the river were demolished by the Milanese, and only a few useless tents remained.

On this day, the count had his soldiers push forward and garrison them by the riverbank, while the Milanese retreated more than twenty miles, breaking up the army and leaving.

From the river bank, the Earl garrison had three directions to break through.

One is Bran's path back to Milan, but this is most of Bran, and there must be many soldiers, and he can't beat it himself.

One is the eastern plain, where a large wheat field barn is located.

One is to the southeast, where there are fortresses that are still loyal to them, and breaking through the defenders there can make the troops link, but the grain there has always been supplied from other places, so it is of little use at this time.

Then there are only two paths left.

The Count seeks stability and wants to break through the plains and regain control of the country's grain production and the surrounding villages.

He fed his men for the meal, and told the knights who had contact with the Milanese to spread the false news that the Count was going to fight to the death and attack the main tent of Bran with all his might, but in fact it was a detour.

In fact, even if Bran didn't retreat and lead the Count to attack, the Count would have launched a strong attack.

Then the battlefield will be fought on the banks of the river.

But even if Bran wins, the Count's soldiers will have a way out.

So Bran was going to lure them out into the distance for a field battle.

When the letter sent by the Earl Knight reached Bran's hand, Bran thought that since the opponent had really moved, he had to anticipate the opponent's movements.

What the fake letter says, Bran only uses as a reference.

The three directions that the earl could break through also expected that the main force where he was about five thousand people were all elite.

In the other two directions, Bran divided the troops evenly.

Desley with one, Ambu with one.
