Chapter 63: The Front End of the Killing
"My lord, the lower official is from a commoner's background, and it is a great honor to be promoted to a nobleman!" Jack replied.
"Civilian?" Li Xie couldn't help but glance at Jack: "How old are you this year?"
"Two out of thirty, my lord!"
"Thirty-two years old?" The people of the Continent of the Gods have been young for a very long time, and it is generally difficult to tell the actual age from their appearance, but Jack is thirty-two years old, but he is too young!
Li Xie exclaimed, not that Jack's appearance was old, but that Jack, who was born as a civilian, could reach the position of deputy commander of the forbidden army at the age of thirty-two, which was too incredible!
Of the three regular army legions of the Tudor dynasty, the strongest is the Wild Lion Legion, and the most important legion is the forbidden army!
The Forbidden Army is the last barrier to protect the Tudor royal family and protect Yanjing, and the strength of the 100,000 Forbidden Army is even stronger than the 200,000 Cheetah Legion! If the number is equal to the Wild Lion Legion, the Forbidden Army will be the strongest army in Tudor!
The important surname and strength of the forbidden army make the generals in the forbidden army generally stronger than the generals of other legions, and they are all people who can become the generals of the forbidden army! Not to mention the deputy commander of one of the highest positions in the forbidden army!
And the generals of the forbidden army must be nobles!
It's not that nobles are people on earth, but because, in the Continent of the Gods, nobles have to receive more and better education than commoners, have a better environment to grow up, and in terms of force, they may not be stronger than civilians who can endure hardships, but in terms of knowledge, they are generally much stronger than civilians!
But Jack did it!
This shows that he did not rely on connections, but climbed up step by step by himself, which is much more difficult and long-lasting than that of nobles! Nobles can also jump through relationships, and it is basically impossible for commoners!
And Jack is only thirty-two years old! A ninth-order sword saint, deputy commander of the forbidden army, is only thirty-two years old!
What does this mean? It shows that he is not only a martial arts genius, but also a military genius! Absolutely genuine!
Only a martial arts genius can be promoted to a ninth-order sword saint at a young age without the education of a nobleman's superior environment, you must know that Zeenard, the dragon, is already two thousand years old, and the tenth-order sword saint Fandi Serre, even if he looks only thirty years old, his actual age is sixty-five years old! He can only be a military genius, so that others can not hide his light and become the deputy commander of the forbidden army! Such a position of power is fought for by many nobles!
Mercedes VII gave me a superior corps commander!
Li Xie secretly praised and said with a smile: "What order did Your Majesty give you? Do you want to assist me, or follow me?"
The difference between the two is obvious, but either way, Li Xie has decided to make this real deputy commander of the forbidden army his person!
"Go back to your lord!" Jack clenched his fists and said: "Your Majesty's order is to let the subordinate follow the lord and obey the lord's orders! After seeing the lord, the subordinate will only retain the title of baron, and the position of deputy commander of the forbidden army will be automatically eliminated." β
"In the future, they will all be their own people, so they don't need so many courtesies. Li Xie looked at Jack with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty didn't give you a new position?"
"No, sir. β
"So, how do you feel when you go from being the deputy commander of the forbidden army to suddenly becoming an entourage with only a false title and no official position? I want to listen to your truth! I am not afraid to say that I will never blame you. β
Jack paused for a moment, and said with a serious expression: "My lord, Xia Guan is a civilian, he only wants to have no worries about food and clothing, and live a stable life! He doesn't care about his position! Whether it is the deputy commander of the forbidden army or the entourage of adults! Xia Guan only knows how to do his best to do his part! Although he is only an adult's entourage, Xia Guan will also do his best, and put the safety of the adult first, and the orders of the adult shall prevail!"
"Don't be arrogant, don't be discouraged! Well said!" Li Xie praised loudly: "Jack, you should know that I have three fiefdoms!"
"Yes, sir!"
"Then you should know that I can have at least 150,000 regular troops!"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Xie stood up and pointed at Jack Rothschild: "I now officially appoint you as the commander-in-chief of the future 150,000 army!"
"Lord Xie, the next official will live up to his expectations!" Jack knelt down on one knee, his hands clenched into fists, and his serious and resolute face could not tell whether it was surprise or something else.
"Get up. Seeing him like this, Li Xie thought that Jack was unimpressed with this position, and couldn't help laughing at himself: "My father thought that this position of commander-in-chief could surprise you, but now it seems that the future 150,000 troops will always be in the future!"
"My lord misunderstood!" Jack hurriedly said: "Xia Guan is born to be unsmiling, and people say that Xia Guan is a dead face." Even if the subordinate is the deputy commander of the forbidden army, he has no more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, not to mention, it is not the subordinate who has the final say! Now that the lord can afford it, the commander-in-chief of the 150,000 army is no less than the commander of the corps! How can the subordinate not be surprised? What's more, not all of your 150,000 troops are in the future, at least, there are already 5,000 elite soldiers in the present!
"Hmm, what do you mean by that?" Li Xie was a little puzzled.
Jack said in a low voice: "My lord, while Your Majesty asked the subordinate to follow the adult, he also gave the adult five thousand forbidden troops!"
Li Xie's heart jumped: "Really?"
"Seriously!"
"What about people?" Li Xie said urgently, "Five thousand forbidden troops! What is lacking now is manpower!"
Jack said: "The deployment of the forbidden army is a major event, and it must not be publicized, so His Majesty did not inform the duke, but only ordered the subordinate to secretly transfer the five thousand men and horses out of Yanjing, and it is precisely because of this matter that the subordinate came to report to the lord belated! Now the five thousand men and horses have all been in Chrysanthemum City, pretending to be refugees, and some of the refugees you saw when you entered the city, some of them were pretended to be forbidden troops!"
"Okay! It's really good! Hahaha, it's really sleepy and touching the pillow!" Li Xie couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart and laughed loudly: "That guy from the seventh! No, no, no, Your Majesty, that guy! Hahaha, I didn't even expect to ask him for an army, he was intimate! Hahaha......"
Old Seven......
Everyone next to Li Xie, except for Zeenard, was all covered with cold sweat!
However, several people had smiles on their faces, these 5,000 soldiers and horses came at the right time, perhaps, the problem of the 30,000 guards could be solved!
"Jack......" The smile on Li Xie's face still didn't fade, he looked at the commander who brought good luck, and said: "Those 5,000 elite soldiers, against the 30,000 civil guards in Chrysanthemum City, what are the odds of winning?"
Jack's sharp eyes stared at Li Xie: "What the adults asked, is it to kill or take it?"
Ooh!
With such a big tone, he didn't take the 30,000 guards into account at all!
Li Xie smiled and said, "What about killing the light?"
Li Xie didn't mean that he really wanted to kill all 30,000 people's guards, after all, these people could be used, it would be a pity to kill them, so he asked, just wanted to know how much combat power he had with the 5,000 soldiers and horses he had on hand now!
Jack still had a serious face: "If you kill them all, it's very easy! Those gangs are just a rabble, and they are not vigilant enough, and my people are approaching pretending to be refugees, and they won't have much defense! Under a surprise attack, they can kill 5,000 to 10,000 of them in an instant! Then while they are in turmoil, they will kill another 5,000 people! In this way, the rest of the people will be frightened, and I am afraid that they will not even dare to fight hard, but will only be chased and killed! Until they are all killed! The lower officials think that our 5,000 soldiers and horses can not lose a single soldier and eat the 30,000 National Guards! This is still the situation when they get together! The reality is that it is even easier!"
Seeing that Jack said it easily, Li Xie was also interested, and hurriedly said, "What is the actual situation?" β
"My lord, after the lower official transferred 5,000 men and horses to Chrysanthemum City, he has ordered them to survey the troop layout of Chrysanthemum City! Thirty thousand guards in Chrysanthemum City, of which 12,000 are stationed near the four gates of Chrysanthemum City, and 2,000 are guarding the slave market, 1,000 are guarding the markets in the city, 5,000 are patrolling all over the city, and the remaining 10,000, of which 5,000 are scattered in the homes of the nobles in the city for guards, and the other 5,000 are transferred to guard near the city lord's mansion! With so many men stationed there, and not very disciplined, I am afraid that most of them are either drunk or have fun everywhere, and only a few are on duty!
The 5,000 men and horses probably came a day or two in advance, but they had already touched the situation of the defenders of Chrysanthemum City!
Sure enough, there is a material!
Li Xie secretly admired, and then said, "Then what if you want to be captured alive?"
"It is not difficult to capture alive! The forbidden army is responsible for guarding Yanjing, and sometimes it is necessary to capture some people alive, and it is inevitable that they will lose and be captured quickly, and all the soldiers of the forbidden army must practice the ability to divide the muscles and bones with one hand, and as long as they get close, they can quickly stagger the joints of the target's limbs and dislocate them! It will only cause severe pain, but it will not be lost, and without outsiders to connect the bones, the target will lose the ability to move! The 30,000 people's guards lack emergency measures among themselves, and they are slow to inform each other. As long as my men act quickly and take them all down, they may not be able to respond!"
After hearing this, Li Xie couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Okay!"
"But, my lord, although our five thousand soldiers and horses can easily kill or capture them, there is a problem. Jack said: "The guards of the four city gates are separated in all directions, even if the horse is fast, it will take a day or two to walk in a circle, and even if our army rushes with all its strength and eats these 30,000 guards, it will take a few days!
"This ......" Li Xie's surprise was completely wiped out by Jack's words, and he frowned: "I'm going to attend a dinner tonight, and I plan to wipe out all the nobles in the city! Kill them all! I will take down the 30,000 guards! It seems that I am too naΓ―ve to think! I wonder what Jack thinks?"
Jack thought for a moment and said: "The soldiers are very fast, if the lord wants to take Chrysanthemum City, it is necessary to act vigorously and resolutely! The lower officials also admire the adult's practice! However, if you kill all the nobles, the adults will only get a city full of refugees, not to mention the rest, if no one takes care of the food, in a short time, the Chrysanthemum City will be in chaos! In addition, if the 30,000 civil guards wait for the opportunity to rebel, the consequences will be even more unimaginable! Therefore, the lower officials thought that the nobles could kill, only kill some, and leave some to continue to manage the Chrysanthemum City! While the civil guards can stay, they must kill some in order to establish the prestige of the army! Only by killing some of the people can the other guards be afraid and not dare to move! After such a deterrent, they will not kill the remaining guards, but continue to let them be guards! They will also eat with a mouthful of food, and they will not openly oppose the adults until they reach a desperate situation!"
Li Xie pondered for a moment and nodded: "So, exactly those guards should be killed, and how many should be killed?"
Jack's eyes were even sharper: "There are five thousand guards near the City Lord's Mansion, not one of them will be left! Then pile up the corpses, let them see! Who would dare to be presumptuous!"
Ho!
This guy is tougher than me!
Li Xie clapped his hand: "Okay! Just do it! You go and arrange it." β
"Yes, sir!"
The corner of Li Xie's right mouth raised: "I can't wait for tonight's dinner!"
"Then ......" Jack stood up and said, "My lord, the lower official will go and arrange the matter, and the lower official's sister, please take care of one or two." β
"Okay...... Didn't ask...... Your sister?" Li Xie was stunned: "It's not your wife?"
"Uh......" Jack's serious face finally became a little more embarrassed: "The lower official hasn't married a wife yet." This is my sister who depends on each other!"
"Oh, your sister! I thought ...... Ha ha...... Okay, your sister will be handed over to me!" Li Xie glanced at Ann Rafalo Rothschild: "I will take care of your sister." Kano, why don't you move a chair for Jack and his sister. β
"My lord, just call me Xiao An. β
"Mmmm, Sister Xiao'an, don't call me an adult, call me an evil brother. Men call me an adult, and women call me evil brother, so it's kind......"
Jack, who had reached the door, paused, and suddenly had a bad feeling.
