Chapter 287: Bad News

On that day, Char led people across the river, the Odin attacked the bank of the Rollo River, and the Corsican defenders on the other side of the river resisted hard, and the Odin garrison on the other side of the bridge was not enough after all, and after a while, they retreated, and they fought in a daze, and the Odin people did not know why here. It was only because Char and the others rushed across the bridge before and fought indiscriminately for a while that the conflict was caused.

But when the Odin on this side of the bridge retreated, in less than half a day, thousands of Odin cavalry arrived, and it was in that important town. The pursuers who found the corpse and rushed to it.

The Corsican defenders on the opposite bank were also a little confused, repelled the attack of the Odin, and before they had time to breathe, the large army of Odin on the opposite side killed again.

At this time, the Corsican defenders could not withstand it, originally in this stronghold, there were only two battalions of Corsican defenders, and the Odin on the opposite bank gathered more than 2,000 cavalry.

Soon the Odin crossed the river, seized the stronghold, and routed the Corsican defenders. The Odin continued their pursuit for twenty miles and refused to rest until the nearby Corsican army was ordered to come to their aid, and the two sides resumed their confrontation.

But by this time, the conflict had already arisen, and the contradiction could no longer be concealed.

The high-level leaders on both sides were in chaos for a while.

Here in Corsica, the news of the death of the Doge's eldest son, Cardoso, reached the Doge's Palace as quickly as possible. When he heard the news, he vomited blood and fell into a coma on the spot, and woke up for two hours, and when he woke up, the old governor wept loudly in his hospital bed, and when he had finished crying, he gritted his teeth and ordered all the officials under his command to gather for discussion, and sent someone to summon his youngest son Gaia back to the city.

Three days later, when the body of the old governor's eldest son, Cardoso, was transported to the governor's palace, looking at the body of his eldest son, which was completely out of shape, the old governor fainted on the spot and cried on the spot.

Gaia, the second son of the Doge, was the darkest one in his heart. When he originally learned the news, he was shocked at first, he didn't go to his weak brother first, but he still had the courage to go to the place of the Odin people to negotiate peace in person. Then it was a joy, fortunately, those Odin people were greedy for money, and they actually killed him on the way, this time, their only threat opponent went, and in the future, the family business of the Corsican Military Region was not their own?

So, with this kind of thought. On the contrary, Gaia was the most indignant, at this time, he acted as if he had a deep brotherly relationship with his brother, and he was the most active because no one would care about this with a dead man.

Moreover, at this time, it is a time to show his generosity, and take the opportunity to capture the hearts of the people and win the hearts of more old ministers of the Governor's Palace.

Gaia's movements were extremely fast, and he soon ordered one of his descendants, the cavalry of the banner regiment, to rush from the second-tier cities to the front line on the banks of the Rollo River to support the defenders of the front, and soon had two large and small battles with the Odin.

The Odin had crossed the river, and there was no intention of retreating. But at this time, the upper echelons of the Red Snow Army, Manninger and others were also completely confused.

The eldest son of the governor of Corsica came to negotiate peace, and was killed by his own men who were killed halfway through the money?!

Hearing the news, Manninger's first reaction was to believe it!

He knew very well the temper of his boys, although the other party was the eldest son of the governor of Corsica, but since his warriors went south, it was too smooth, and he felt that these Byzantine sheep were too easy to bully, and they could fight as much as they wanted.

What is the son of the governor of Corsica? In the eyes of most Odin, he is nothing more than a sheep. Kill it, kill it, what's all the fuss?

Moreover, the Odin people have always been fierce and savage, and it is not unusual for them to do such things.

But as the details of the news arrived, Manninger realized something was wrong.

The present scene. There were the corpses of more than 100 Odin fighters! Later, after investigation, it was found that these more than 100 Odin fighters were escorting and supervising the peace talks team along the way.

Even if there was really any conflict and conflict, the two sides would fight and kill, and all the more than 100 Odin warriors would be killed? Not even a single living mouth would be left?! This is extremely abnormal!

Moreover, Manninger finally got the news that the number of people in the peace talks team was less than 200! He actually wiped out more than 100 of his own Odin warriors? And all of them were slaughtered quickly, leaving not a single living mouth?

Why can't these soldiers of his own be so pustuated?

If it is the other way around, the other party's people are killed by their own people, and there is still some possibility.

The most important thing is that all the corpses found at the scene are dead by Odin, and the corpses on the Corsican side are only a dozen or so (it's not that Char doesn't want to bring more, it's really that the car can't fit it).

The ratio of casualties was ten to one! Is the Corsican army so powerful? Even if these are the elite of the Doge's Palace, it can't be like this?

Manninger's first reaction was: fake!

But the problem is that soon the news came from Corsica that it was true

Target!

The son of the governor of Corsica is really dead! And the Corsican side has confirmed that the eldest son of the governor has indeed been sent to the peace talks.

Could it be that the governor of Corsica deliberately wanted to find an excuse to go to war?

But what good would war do for the Corsicans?

Second, "Even if you make excuses, you don't have to put your own son's life on the line, right?!"

It's so weird. The point is, not a single living mouth remained.

The Corsican army had been rapidly assembled. The cavalry of one flag regiment had already rushed to the banks of the Rollo River to start the battle, and then three other flag regiments also rushed to the battle. Having heard that the Corsican Military District has been mobilized throughout the region, and the soldiers of the reserve have begun to concentrate,

Manninger couldn't think of such an accident, even though he couldn't think of it, he didn't want to go to war with the Corsicans!

Manninger is not a person without a sense of the big picture, this Odin invasion can go so smoothly because of these Byzantine rebels caused civil strife, and the Byzantines themselves fought endlessly.

Now their side and these Byzantine rebels are allies. But once this alliance is broken, it will not do the Odin any good.

He's not like the hot-headed guys under him.

Although Manninger also despised the Byzantine army a little, he also saw the weakness of his side: after all, there were too few Odin! Now that he occupied the territory of nearly two counties, such a large place, his own legion of people scattered, it would take time to eat such a large place firmly and digest it!

With Manninger's calculations, he first occupied the territory of these two counties, and then spent more than a year digesting it, and then he stood firm on his heels, and then tried more. Now although he is smooth in the early stage, after all, he is a guest army in the enemy country.

Even if you want to turn against these Byzantine warlords, now is not a good time! First, you have to wait for yourself to gain a firm foothold and digest the territory, and even migrate some tribal populations from the country. Really controlled these territories.

Second, we have to wait for these rebels to kill the Byzantine royal family! In that case, the Byzantine Empire will really be gone, and it will no longer be able to pose a threat to Odin.

Don't look at these Byzantine rebels now, the members of the Red Round Table are still very united. Once the Byzantine royal family is destroyed, these people will soon be fighting on their own!

At that time. It was the time for Odin to truly annex Byzantium!

Therefore, shackled by these concerns, in the first few days, Manninger instead ordered that Odin's army that had crossed the river should not go further, and that it was enough to confront the Corsican army on the spot, and not to go further.

Manninggritchen then sent messengers across the river to the Doge's palace in Corsica. But who knows. The old governor of Corsica was indignant. I didn't even see the messenger in front of him, so I sent someone to chop the messenger into a pulp!

The news came back. The high-ranking leaders of the Red Snow Army were all shocked and furious.

But this time. Manninger still refused to really give the order to go to war, and it was better to restrain the troops on the front line to be stationed on the spot.

But he wanted to find another way, but the Corsicans had already taken the initiative.

The three flag regiments of Corsica finally met at the Loro River, concentrated an army of more than 10,000 people, and began a fierce counterattack!

The Odin who crossed the river were only more than 2,000, and the superior strength of the Corsicans was finally unstoppable. In a fierce battle, the Corsicans and the Odin were each killed and wounded by more than a thousand, and the Odin had to retreat across the river.

The Corsicans, however, were not satisfied, and the army immediately crossed the Rollo River and took four of the Odin strongholds on the banks of the river in one fell swoop, and then two more Corsican banners finally arrived.

One. The complete corps, on the banks of the Luo Luo River, made a march on the territory of Siltan.

Manninger finally couldn't take it anymore!

Even if he wants to take care of the overall situation, but at this time, the aggressive attitude of the Corsicans also makes Manninger very angry!

In Manninger's opinion. The Corsican army is a fart! The majestic Byzantine central standing army of the Seventh Corps has been wiped out by itself! The Corsican army of a corps has actually chased and fought across the river under the condition that it has repeatedly endured?!

Since the other side himself refuses to make peace, then the axes and blades of the Odin warriors. You have never been afraid of strong enemies!

As soon as the order to fight back was given, the Odin quickly mobilized thousands of troops from several important towns in Sirtan and fiercely pounced in the direction of the Rollo River.

Within ten jades, the two sides fought three fierce battles, each with casualties. And in Corsica, another corps of 30,000 men and horses of a reserve force has been assembled and rushed to the front.

And Manninger did not show weakness, and ordered the Odin army in the occupied area to be drawn, and gathered 15,000 Odin warriors of three banners, plus 3,000 reindeer cavalry, and also met them."

Click!

Char nibbled on an apple in his hand and sat on the city wall. Looking in the direction of the south.

He had already returned to the city of Mesta with his men, this time with two hundred horse thieves in disguise, and two hundred horsemen when he went. When he returned, he had injured less than forty people. But the results were brilliant.

The only regret. Even the brothers who died in battle, the corpses were burned immediately, and no traces could be left" But these horse thieves don't pay attention to such details.

At this moment, on the tower of Mesta, Char looked at the south for a while, and muttered to himself: "Fight, fight, fight, the more fierce you fight, the happier Lao Tzu will be." ”

At this time, only three steps behind him, a dark-skinned, but very delicate-looking young man, carrying a big bow and wearing the armor of the Byzantine army, stood there, his originally young and immature face also faintly had a little calm appearance.

This young man is none other than Zaku Turen Acai, who has also experienced a few battles with Char's side, although the scale is not large, but it can be regarded as a lot of grinding" At a moment, he is no longer the appearance of the little hunter who fell all the times, standing behind Char. Hearing Char's muttering to herself, Ah Cai whispered, "My lord, will they fight?"

Char listened and laughed. He threw the apple core in his hand directly into the city, and glanced back at Ah Cai: "That's for sure! Hmph, the old governor of Corsica." Killed his own son, if he can bear it. Lao Tzu was really convinced of him! Even if he wanted to take care of the overall situation, but if he didn't even let out a fart in this kind of thing, hmph, if his son died and still be a turtle with a shrunken head, would he still be able to raise his head and be a man in the future? This hatred is getting bigger and bigger! I want to stop, but the people below will not do it

Ah Cai listened, a flash of realization flashed in his eyes, he thought for a moment, and said slowly: "Then, my lord, you see, who will win their battle? It is better for the Corsicans to win, defeat the Red Snow Army, and we can take the opportunity to take back the rest of the territory in Moore County."

Char listened, frowned and thought about it, and then shook his head resolutely: "No, the Corsicans will be defeated, Manninger is very powerful, and the Red Snow Army is also the elite of Odin, not something that the Corsicans can deal with." Manninger would hesitate at first, but once he let go, the rout of the Corsicans was only a matter of time. When the time comes, I'm afraid that the Corsican Military District will be swallowed by Manninger!"

Ah Cai was a little unhappy: "In this way, isn't it too cheap for the Odins, and let them take the opportunity to occupy so much territory?"

Char laughed: "Lao Tzu is afraid that Manninger has too little territory! The bigger the territory in his hand, the happier Lao Tzu is!"

Looking at Ah Cai's blank eyes, Char snorted: "The Odin people are fighting far away from their homeland, and there are so many soldiers, and there is no replenishment! He occupies a lot of places, so he must divide troops to guard in various places, right? 50,000 people." After the fight, even if the Odin people are bad, there will always be 10,000 casualties, right? They occupy Sirtanshire, part of Mor County, if they eat the Corsican Military Region, hum. More than 40,000 people, to separate to guard so many plates" This net is too big, and it is inevitable that it will be weak. When the time comes, Lao Tzu is still afraid of him as a bird. Ah Cai suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes, my lord, this fist is clenched and difficult to deal with, if you open your hand and turn into five fingers, we will not be afraid!"

Char touched Ah Cai's head, looked at his body, and said with a smile: "You guy, you are a lot tougher." It's a pity that I'm still a little thinner, and I'll grow taller and taller, so that you can be a cavalryman

As he was talking, Ah Cai suddenly pointed to the distance outside the city and exclaimed, "My lord, look! A horse is coming! It seems to be one of our people!"

Char looked into the distance, and sure enough, on the main road, there was a horse coming from the north, and the knight on the horse waved his whip again and again to urge the mount, and looked at the dress, which was the appearance of the Byzantine cavalry.

The horse rushed to the city at high speed, and after entering the city, Char was on the city wall, and soon heard the movement below. A guard led a dusty cavalryman up to the tower.

The horseman, whose face was covered with dust and was so tired that he could barely breathe, rushed to Char and almost fell to the ground.

Or Char went up and hugged this guy: "What's wrong?!"

"Urgent, urgent!" (after the martyrdom of Krinthia, according to the laws of the Byzantine Empire, Char had temporarily declared himself the deputy warden of Mor County), and the cavalryman took out a "canopy" from his bosom. The tube was wet, obviously sweat from his body, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Green has an order, and it must be handed over to you as quickly as possible! I brought two horses all the way out, and one of them has already died on the way!"

Char heard this. My heart sank suddenly!

If it weren't for the emergency, with the bearing of a famous general like Mad Dog Green, he wouldn't be so anxious.

Quickly opened the tube, and pulled out a letter inside, the seal on the letter was intact, and after Char opened it, there was Grimm's handwritten handwriting.

And this military situation, in fact, is just a short sentence.

"Two days ago, Odin's army was ten miles outside of Denzel, and according to the scout's report, the banner should belong to Hasting's Black Flag Army. ”

Ten miles outside Denzel, the Odin Army, the Black Flag Army, the Hastings?!!

These words fell into Char's ears, and he immediately felt that his words were dry, and his face changed wildly on the spot!!

Damn! Lao Tzu almost tried his best to solve Manninger easily, and delayed this old boy!

Hasting, bastard, didn't the Black Flag Army defeat the Sixth Corps in the neighboring county in the east and be busy grabbing territory? What are you doing in Moore?

And Morshire is theoretically the offensive line of the Red Snow Army! What does Hastings mean by running to intervene?!

But no matter how many thoughts turn around, no matter how many doubts there are in my heart.

But in black and white. The Black Flag Army has already been haunted near Denzel City! With Green's identity, if it weren't for the facts, he wouldn't have written such a letter to himself!!

Char's mind was confused for a while, and he suddenly raised his head and glared at the military envoy in front of him: "What did Green say when you came out?

"Green, Lord Green said, how to deal with it, please decide for yourself!!"

Please smash the ticket!,
