Chapter 121: Turn the gun
Winter is particularly cruel to this year's Flo, not because the heavens have sent any punishment, but because the Count of Dortmund, a nobleman of Dillman, took advantage of this winter.
Light cavalry with crossbows harassed the Flo army, often shooting one or two arrows and leaving, very slippery, and the Flo also tried to use bows and light cavalry to cope or pursue, but the effect was very limited.
Winter is a season that is prone to death, not to mention the fact that these farmers who have been temporarily recruited are tired of dealing with the threat from the Dierman people and the threat of nature, and their lives are not guaranteed.
"Bang!"
The loud sound of the table was echoed in the castle, and the chieftain-like Salzer grimaced grimly, as did the Flo people around him.
"Okay, please love Salzer, your anger will not bring you any good." The Grand Chief of the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel - Lopur sat on his throne with his legs crossed, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his calm appearance was quite the style of the old Grand Chief of Fort Carmel.
"But, Great Chief, the damned Dirmans have already cost me dozens of soldiers, and we haven't even been able to touch their butts! If the war goes on like this, I need to wonder if I should stay here any longer. ”
Chief Salzer said dissatisfiedly, I don't know if he is unlucky, Count Dierman seems to be eyeing him, every time his army appears, he will encounter the other party's crossbow cavalry, that is really a terrible existence, fortunately, those crossbow cavalry are very slow to load, and they can't bring many arrows, otherwise the loss will be greater.
Of course, this is what Karl meant, if he catches a person and chases him hard, this will make the chieftain lose too much, and he himself will voluntarily withdraw from the coalition army, or even cause infighting or something.
"Okay Salzer, you know it's inevitable, it's war, war is always dead, you can't order your opponent to spare your soldiers, right?" Lopper said in a deep voice.
"I ......"
"I will compensate you for your losses, whether they are soldiers or peasants, and all this will have to be won at the end of the war, after we have captured Dortmund."
Lopur didn't blink a glance at the empty check, and he knew he had to calm Sarka's emotions, and if he did choose to leave the army, it would be a huge blow to morale.
And he also needs enough strength to capture Dortmund, so he can't let Sarka go anyway.
As for compensation after victory in the war...... That will have to be after the victory of the war! As long as the war can be won, compensating for these is a piece of cake.
Sarka nodded with a calm face, he didn't really want to leave, just to exchange such an attitude for some weight, and now that they can get compensation, it should be a good result for them.
"Oh, is this your power? This is not even a real war that has been entangled by the enemy, and I doubt your abilities. ”
Just as Loppel was about to speak, the Wikipedians on the side interjected, his eyes full of contempt.
"Heh, if I'm not mistaken, some time ago you also had a wiki team folded on the Ballista of Count Dortmund, don't you just drink with us here, I thought there was anything powerful about the Wikipedians who have plundered in the sea for I don't know how many years."
Chief Torik, who had not intended to participate in these conversations, put down the flask in his hand and said with a sneering expression.
There was a tone in his words that made Wikipedia's face blush.
"You're provoking Wikipedians!" The Wikipedians squeezed these words out of their teeth, he was the emissary of the kingdom of Denmeka, representing King Denmeka, so he had never been provoked like this.
"Then you are also a provocation to the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel! I even suspect you're provoking the Flos! "Chief Torik is undaunted, in fact he never wikiped anyone.
"Both of you can rest your mouth, the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel and the Kingdom of Denmaka are allies, I believe that with the help of King Denmaka's army, we can easily end the war, I hope you two can have a good talk." Lopur said loudly.
"Alright, well, honorable Grand Chief of Fort Carmel, for your sake, I forgive this guy for being rude." The wikimessenger snorted coldly and closed his eyes.
"You!" Chief Torik was so angry that he raised his eyebrows, but he just met Lopper's gaze, and after looking at it for a few seconds, Chief Torik lowered his gaze stupidly, he couldn't be disrespectful to the old Grand Chief of Fort Carmel, and now he couldn't treat his son.
Seeing Chief Torik no longer speak, the wikimessenger looked victorious, and the face of Chief Torik saw the urge to kill him.
"So, what are you going to do next? It will take some time for the army of the Kingdom of Denmaka to mobilize and get here, and we will not have enough troops in this time. The wikimessenger said lightly.
The words as if he were dealing with his subordinate forces made Lopur, who was the big chief of Fort Carmel, very unhappy, but there was no way, now he had to bow his head under the roof, he needed the help of these Wikipedians, although he paid a certain price, but the other party could pat his ass and leave at any time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we really need to think about it." Popul's eyes were half-opened, and he asked the crowd.
The current weather is not suitable for storming Dortmund, it is not a bird's nest, it is a tiger's den in Longtan.
As soon as Loppur's words were spoken, there was a lot of discussion in the hall, some people may be like an ostrich on the battlefield, but at this moment they are talking about their opinions.
Lopur frowned and looked at the people below, although they spoke eloquently, but Lopur denied everything they said in his heart.
"Childish thoughts." Lopur chuckled inwardly.
"Great Chief, I have an idea." A young man said suddenly.
"Say!"
Seeing this young man Loper raised his eyebrows, he remembered that this guy seemed to be the child of a great nobleman before, but later because the big nobleman died in battle, he quickly became an orphan, and fortunately met a kind person, Loper is still very sympathetic to his tragic experience, and this young man is indeed capable.
"I'm thinking, you now have some understanding of Dortmund's strength, it is a mighty city that is indestructible, and how many troops are gathered in this castle now? Although I don't want to admit it, the Dillman people are indeed united, and now the army in Dortmund will not be much less than ours, although we still have an absolute advantage, but if we attack us, we will not be able to take advantage. ”
"The most hateful thing is that the damned Dierman nobles have shrunk their own army, and will only send crossbowmen to harass around, and we can only attack if we want to retake Dortmund."
"What you're saying is nonsense, do we need you to say that?" Chief Torik didn't hesitate to interrupt the young man who was still talking, and even Lopur frowned, his eyes looking a little disappointed.
"No, no, my lord, I mean, maybe we can change our minds and not attack Dortmund." The young man hurriedly waved his hand.
"Not going to attack Dortmund?" Lopur raised an eyebrow, startling the young man.
"Castle Noma...... I mean we can transfer the main army to Norma Castle, the chief of Norma Castle Prudence himself is not as strong as the Count of Dilman, and there is no support from the nobles from Dilman's territory, and now he is just holding on to Norma Castle, if we can take Norma Castle, then we can occupy an absolute advantage, and when the time comes, we can attack and retreat, and under the advantages of the other, the Count of Dortmund will fail sooner or later, and the support of the Dilman people cannot be endless. ”
After saying that, the young Wikipedians breathed a sigh of relief, and then became a little apprehensive, after all, it was still very stressful to talk in front of the big chieftains of the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel and a bunch of Flo nobles.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
After a moment of silence, Lopur seemed to realize that he had not yet applauded the solid plan, and quickly clapped his arm.
Lopur had already taken the lead, and the others naturally wouldn't lose face, so they applauded, which made the young man a little embarrassed.
"You're absolutely right, since it's thankless to spend your energy on Dortmund, why not focus on Norma Castle? That damn traitor doesn't have that much army and so much agriculture. ”
Traitors are always more hateful than enemies, that's the consensus of everyone, which is why Proudence, the chief of Fort Norma, is so hated by them.
The young man, who had received Loppel's compliment, looked a little embarrassed.
"I remember you ...... Izawa: yes, you've done a great job, tell me what you want to get, and I'll give it to you if it's reasonable. Lopper smiled and said that rewards and punishments are the only way to make others fear and love him as a monarch.
Izawa's eyes widened with excitement, he never expected Lopur to know his name.
"Venerable Great Chief, if you can, I hope you can give me a chance, I hope to defeat those Dirkmans on the battlefield!" Izawa said excitedly.
Lopur was a little surprised, he didn't expect Ize to make such a request.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Well, you are a valiant warrior, so let's divide ten warriors under your command now, and I hope you can behave well." ”
"Thank you, my lord!" Izawa bent over, there was no faster chance of promotion than the military function, which was what he hoped for.
