Chapter 273: Poetry Retreats from the Enemy (Part II)
When the two armies faced each other, and the commander of one side was suddenly killed, the battle was basically lost. The son of the city lord was stoned to death for a moment, and the princess attacked with an army, and the other side had no fighting spirit and was panicked. However, it is still impossible to hurt the kobold in the car by just ramming, but it is possible to shovel the opponent's car.
Once, when the princess had not yet taken over the main city, and Kevin was still preaching there, the army of the city lord's chariot was repeatedly overturned by the opponent, so that it caused losses. In fact, just a small device is installed in the front section, which is more like a dump bucket for shoveling soil.
You don't even need to have to go through the hassle of a special tip, you just need to put a ramp on the front of the car to achieve this effect. When two cars collide, the slope that sticks to the ground is naturally inserted under the car body, whether it is a wheel or a water film, the car body will inevitably enter a climbing state, and even drive directly down the slope to the roof due to the speed of the encounter. At this time, the vehicle below only needs to turn a little direction, and the opponent will naturally roll over.
Of course, it is easier to punch directly at one corner of the enemy vehicle, or more directly from the side. The slope does not need to be too firm, and the wood is also OK, as long as it is guaranteed to be not broken at one time, the structure is simple and easy to make.
This was really not Kevin's idea, it was the princess herself who came up with it, after all, she had been on the battlefield for so long, and she was willing to spend time researching, and this kind of creativity was not unexpected. It's a pity that the princess didn't come from a military background, otherwise her level should be more than that.
However, Kevin was not idle, since the princess came up with the ramp device, Kevin helped her design an additional formation. In fact, it is also a pointy charge formation, Kevin changed the formation of the cavalry charge slightly, mainly studied the distance between vehicles, and the others basically did not change, and there was no so-called change formation, no matter how complex the kobold could not be trained.
But at this time, this simple pointed array has played an almost devastating effect. I saw the princess's chariot leading the formation, like a sharp knife straight into the opponent's formation, and the chariot brushed to both sides, and in a moment it had passed through the formation entirely, cutting all the enemy formation in half.
The enemy has long begun to scatter and flee, using his best and skillful driving skills to escape, for fear of being a beat slower than others. However, the princess did not pursue, in fact, the two cars are of the same model, and the speed is almost the same, and it is difficult to chase, especially after installing the slope, it is even slower.
But it didn't matter anymore, the princess broke the enemy army, killed the opposing commander, and knocked over more than thirty chariots, which was undoubtedly the grandest victory in the history of these kobold soldiers. These chariots were knocked over, but they were all captured, which was more intuitive than the last time when a light powerhouse was defeated in the middle of the night.
Constant victories naturally build stronger confidence, and in the cheers of kobolds, the princess's reputation began to grow day by day. At least in her own city, she was already in the ascendancy.
After a short rest, the princess began to take advantage of the victory. The main city was deprived of its lord, and the rest of the troops had lost their fighting spirit, and when the princess's army marched in, they had already opened the city and surrendered. In the evening, the princess officially took over the two main cities.
When the news broke, the Mission's side was almost shocked. You must know that although the kobold side has been at war all the time, there are still relatively few cases where they can really conquer the city, and the early signs can basically be seen every time. For example, one party obviously can't stand it, and so on.
But it's strange to take a city in just one day. Many members of the observation group could not help but wonder if it was a covert move by the Imperials? Didn't the Reich no longer need this war? For this reason, they frequently sent people to the Reich's side.
Even Kevin went to probe the wind, after all, everyone went, and he couldn't pretend to be wise. And Kevin's probe style is particularly obvious, and he asked directly: "The government army has won a big victory, I don't know if there is any guidance behind it?"
The Imperial people were a little surprised, although there were many people who tried to talk about it, but it was the first one who was so direct, and could only answer: "What do you want to say?"
"I didn't say anything. Kevin replied.
"Who do you think is the master?" asked the Imperial, rhetorically.
"I don't know. Kevin replied. The two stared at each other, and then Kevin walked away, leaving each other with the impression that "this man is an idiot".
Compared to the suspicions of the other observation groups, the empire itself was of course more anxious, and they seemed to have had a meeting overnight that night, and Kevin only knew that they were going to meet late, and the details were unknown.
But the next morning, the princess took the initiative to drive to the main city here and meet the people of the Imperial Observer Group in person. There was only one person with her, and it seemed to be a new bodyguard, and Kevin didn't know who. According to the crow's information, the two brave men each left a town in the main city, and the crow himself stayed there to tease the little tiger.
It can be seen that there are very few people who can really trust the princess, and there are almost no generals available in her hands. It stands to reason that at this time, the main city should be stabilized and its own power should be cultivated as soon as possible. But Kevin believes that the key here is the attitude of the empire, and stabilizing the empire is equivalent to stabilizing everything.
So Kevin instructed her to come over the next morning. The empire is chaotic at this point, and the sooner the better. As for how to bribe, sending money is the easiest way, and other policies such as giving points are also in the scope of consideration, and the princess is now considered to be a strong person and a person with territory.
But as for the negotiation skills, this can only depend on the princess's own level, and no one can help her. The crow wasn't there, and even if he was, he couldn't open his mouth to point, and Kevin couldn't speak. I can only think of a few questions in advance to prevent the princess.
At noon, there was a knock on Kevin's door, and when he opened it, he saw that it was the kobold princess standing outside, followed by an Imperial. The two of them looked calm, but there seemed to be a hint of excitement in the princess's eyes, and it seemed that they had finished talking.
"Is there something wrong?" asked Kevin. Theoretically he didn't know the princess, and the princess really didn't know him.
"Is it the head of the observation group of Lou Baole Country?" the princess was still very polite.
"Yes. ”
"Is it convenient now? I have something I would like to discuss. The princess opened her mouth and glanced at the imperial people beside her, but the imperial people were more direct: "That's right, this kobold princess wants to buy your two chariots and come over to negotiate the price." ”
Kevin nodded, and then asked, "What are the Empire people here for?"
The Imperials stood still and did not speak. seems to be so arrogant that he disdains to answer Kevin's question, and it seems that he can't answer it, so he can only pretend to be arrogant.
Of course he has enough reasons to be arrogant, who made them an empire. The kobold princess on the side was interested, and hurriedly opened her mouth to relieve the siege: "Oh, the imperial friend was invited by me, because I am not very familiar with chariots. ”
"Okay, those two please come in," Kevin officially invited people in and poured two glasses of water, "Actually, these two tanks are still experiments, and they were originally intended to be tested in a war environment." If the princess wants it, she can lend it to you, but she won't sell it. Because we have to recover the car body to a certain extent, check the status and draw conclusions about the data. ”
"Well," asked the princess, "how long can I borrow it?" ”
"No problem for a year or two. Kevin replied.
"And how much is the rent?" asked the princess again.
"This ......" Kevin thought for a while, in fact, it is okay to lend them directly for free, but the Imperial people on the side are also there, will it be conspiracy on the spot if it is so cheap? After hesitating for a moment, he still came up with a price: "Ten thousand crystal coins a year." ”
The Imperial Man on the side suddenly interjected: "Is there a contract?"
"Not yet," Kevin said, "Why don't you draw one up on the spot?"
The Empire skilfully pulled out a sample: "You can look at this." ”
Kevin took it, and while reading it carefully, he also secretly glanced at their eyes, and at this time, the two seemed to be working together to trick Kevin. Kevin also smiled, maybe there are some traps in this contract, but it doesn't matter, it was originally intended to be given away for free.
After signing the agreement happily, both parties immediately went to the parking place to pick up the car and handed her the keys. Since the princess only brought one guard, and currently has three cars, she can only be secured by two towing one.
When everything was done, the princess stood still, as if she had something to say. The Imperials frowned, "What's wrong?"
The princess was embarrassed for a moment, but still replied stubbornly: "I used to study in Lou Baole Country, and now I see that Lou Baole people are very kind, I want to ask a few more questions at the end." ”
The Imperials were impatient, but there was no reason to stop them, so they waved their hands and motioned for her to ask quickly, and they didn't mean to avoid it, so they listened on the side.
As a result, the princess changed buildings and Pauler asked in Chinese: "You are the god god's sect leader, right?"
Kevin turned his head to look at the face of the Imperial, and the other party seemed to be very unhappy, as if he didn't understand. But Kevin couldn't really assume that he didn't understand, maybe he was pretending, and could only answer ambiguously: "What an interesting name." ”
The princess was silent for a moment, apparently knowing that this was not the place to speak. simply changed the topic and began to talk about family life: "It has been several years since I left Lou Baole country, and I heard that Lou Baole is now filmed all over the country, I am very curious, can you explain it specifically?"
"That's a long story, I'll explain it later. Kevin dodged the question.
There was silence again, and the princess spoke several times, and swallowed the words back. Kevin looked at her state and actually knew it all in his heart. She has a lot of questions, about her country, about Lou Paule, and may even suspect that he is behind the crow, but when there are imperial people around her, she doesn't dare to ask.
Kevin also has some questions to ask, such as, "How were you talking with the Imperials in the morning?"
"This ...... It's okay, right? The princess glanced at the Imperial.
"Can we continue to send troops?" Kevin asked, which was the key, and everything else like how much money was spent was secondary.
"Yes. The princess replied firmly.
Kevin nodded and gave her a smile: "Then good luck and good luck for the war." ”
"Thank you. The princess accepted with a smile, and then said goodbye to the crowd and sailed towards her main city.
Although Kevin was not present at the morning negotiations, the outcome was basically guessed. Among them, I am afraid that not only the princess wants to bribe the imperial people, but the imperial people also want to buy the princess. They need to know how powerful the two new chariots of Lou Baole are, so that they can determine how much information has been stolen here. For this reason, the princess came to borrow the chariot, which was actually the demand of the three parties. Kevin wants to experiment, the empire wants to observe, and the Duke wants to increase his strength.
But the empire didn't plan to get out of control, and if the princess was allowed to conquer the city, the war would be over. So there must have been some kind of agreement between them, and all Kevin could think of was to make the princess no longer occupy the city, and just fight in the field.
It's not a problem, as long as you can fight. At present, the princess can't keep up with other conditions, and casually occupying the city can only lead to the dispersion of forces, at least train a few first-class generals or brave men.
In the evening of the same day, the princess had already sent troops again, this time pointing the finger at another rebel main city. The other main city, where the bards sent out a week ago were stationed, had become quite popular here after a week of boasting and chanting.
And the protagonist they tout is naturally the princess. Yesterday's victory of the princess was even more proclaimed: the princess can do a kind of evil magic, as long as she recites poetry, after chanting, someone will die!
The kobolds were uneducated, and the bards were very dog-like, so they almost all believed what they said. There are very few doubters, and as more and more believers, fewer doubt. The crowd has a follow-up effect, and everyone believes that it must be true.
From civilians to soldiers, the most discussed thing in the barracks was how to escape, and everyone was trembling. In the evening, the princess's army arrived, and the lord of the city led the battle against the enemy, but almost all of them beat drums in their hearts.
The two armies faced each other, and the princess began to chant again: "When people ......"
"Listen, everyone!" the city lord was still brave, he shrank in the car and shouted, "Don't be fooled! This is superstition! As long as we hide in the car, she won't hurt us!"
The princess ignored it and continued to chant: "...... Fight for the interests of the country for life. The city lord was still alive, and immediately laughed: "Hahahaha......"
Then, a boulder suddenly flew from the sky, smashing the city lord's chariot with a thunderous force, and the chariot was instantly smashed and embedded in the ground. The city lord's laughter also stopped dumbly, and the battlefield was quiet again.
"Evil magic!" I don't know who shouted. The kobolds had never seen such power, and they had always thought that the chariot was unbreakable, and that it was absolutely safe inside the chariot, and at most they would be captured. And now the impact was so great that the cars were flattened! The army was instantly routed and scattered and fled.
In the distance, the crow standing on the roof of the ellipsis catapult heard the other party's shout, and felt a little unhappy, and couldn't help but complain to Kevin: "They actually think this is evil magic?"
"It's ridiculous," Kevin was dissatisfied, "how can this be an evil spell? It's a membrane method! It's a real membrane method!"
