Chapter 550: Playing with Death

Chapter 550

Char didn't know that Roddy had already sublimated himself into a "god" in his heart. There was a commotion inside and outside the city, but fortunately, Luo Di's army did not disturb the people, and only restrained the city defense after occupying the treasury, and the residents of the city naturally did not dare to go out. The streets were filled with only those cavalry who would gallop, and the occasional fleeing defender.

Char took advantage of the chaos to get out of the city, and with his ability, if he didn't want people to find out, it would naturally be easy. When he returned to the caravan, he saw Hastings sitting on the roof of the caravan, looking at him with two eyes wide open, with a mocking sneer on his face.

Char glanced at this guy: "If you don't go to help, forget it, what do you stare at me." "You are so generous that you directly collapsed the gates of other people's cities. Hastings sneered: "The others are not stupid melons, the good city gate has collapsed, is the general who led the army a white idiot?"

Xia Ya smiled: "Anyway, he can't find anything, I break the city defense, he won't eat the fat delivered to the mouth, occupy the city, and the caravan of Ming'er Ran may be able to hit the road." ”

Hastings shook his head: "You can help him once, but you can't help him all the time." ”

After a pause, he said in a low voice: "You went out at night, and I was not idle, and I talked to the people in the caravan for a while to figure this matter out." The guy who led the army turned out to be the son of the Duke of Minas, and he ...... hummed, "I don't know why, I took this army to the east to make trouble." It's been more than a month, but his situation is getting more and more difficult, after all, he is a guest army, and there are not many people under his command, and several local military regions here have begun to be taken advantage of by him, and now they have come back to their senses, and they only used one trick to shrink the defense, and they forced him to have no room to stand. This time he occupied the city with your help, but he couldn't occupy it for a long time, and he was about to leave after looting the treasury, but next time, the guards were more stringent, and he only blindly relied on cavalry to attack, and sooner or later it was a dead end. ”

Char nodded and sighed.

There are two brothers in this division, one is the Odin Valkyrie who has been famous for many years, and the other is the young Byzantine general who is now in the limelight, and the military strategy is naturally superior, and the two of them see the same thing, and they are not optimistic about Roddy's front in the east, "I looked at the battle today, and the cavalry under his command is about 2,000. Such a force is no longer small in the east. It's a pity that he didn't use it in the right place. Char smiled: "You want to come...... "Let's help someone to the end, go wake him up?"

Hastings suddenly laughed: "Little Char, why are you so nervous about this little lord Roddy? Do you have a good relationship with him? He is the son of the Duke of Minas, and as far as I know, that old man is not a person from you." ”

Where was Char willing to say that he was involved with other people's girls, and he muttered a few words indiscriminately, and Hastings saw that he didn't want to say it, so he didn't force him to ask.

Luo Di was busy in the city all night and didn't sleep, after dawn, his subordinates have already counted the harvest of the warehouse, and the property that can be taken away is naturally taken away, and if it can't be taken away, Luo Di waved his hand very simply: "As usual!"

His so-called business as usual is to move out the money, food and property in the treasury that he can't take away and distribute it to the residents of the city.

This is also an important reason why Luo Di came to the east, the people have a good impression of him, he did not lay down a place, all the property that he can't take away, are distributed to the local people at will, and at the same time his subordinates do not disturb the people - this area has become the Tema Military Region for almost a hundred years, a hundred years, has been ruled by the warlord party for several generations, and he has long not regarded himself as a Byzantine national, for the people here, it doesn't matter who is ruled by him, as long as the taxes collected are not too harsh, don't go too far, from this point of view, Luo Di is really very popular with the people here。

The handling of the matter is the responsibility of the subordinates, these guys are already familiar with this kind of work, collecting carriages, carrying goods, and at the same time opening the gate of the treasury, informing, and sending things, without rody at all.

But when the cattle were on board, the caravan outside the city came into the city and sent someone to see Roddy, and the leader of the caravan gave him a gift money, thanking Roddy for letting them go, and if they were replaced by other troops, they might swallow the caravan as fat.

The leader of the caravan also made a request that his team should be in a hurry and could not stay in the city, so he asked Roddy to let him go. Luo Di didn't want to occupy this city for a long time, and he didn't plan to become the ruler of this city, and he didn't plan to stop them at all if they wanted to leave. After a few more polite words, the leader of the caravan departed with a thousand thanks.

The city's blacksmiths were gathered to repair the broken armor and weapons of the cavalry.

While Roddy sent scouts outside the city to find out the news, he hurried to repair in the small city and let the team recover.

When he got off the ox, his guards suddenly sent a letter, saying that someone outside the door had sent it and wanted to present it to him.

The personal guards around him were all personal guards from his Minas family, and when he sent this letter, Roddy took it in his hand and looked at it, and he was stunned: the envelope was crookedly written, "Received by Little Lord Roddy".

Roddy was very curious, it stands to reason that no one in this small city knows his identity, but where did this letter come from?

Roddy took the guards out to investigate, but it turned out that the letter was delivered by a little beggar with a runny nose, covered in dirt.

The subordinates interrogated for a long time, but they couldn't come up with any clues, only that someone gave the little beggar a gold coin and asked him to send this letter to the garrison when he got off the cow.

As for the appearance of the person who gave him money and sent the letter, it is not clear: the other party covered his head with a turban.

Then he asked the man how he was dressed, but he said that he was wearing a leather robe.

Luo Di nodded, but the guard beside him said: "My lord, there are not many people wearing leather robes in this city, but there are many people in that caravan who wear leather robes." ”

Luo Di squinted his eyes and thought for a moment: "The caravan left the city in the morning, but this letter was delivered to me in the afternoon, obviously the time was calculated." "Otherwise, I'll take someone to chase after me. The guard said in a low voice: "They are such a big convoy, they can't run fast, I will take my men to chase after me, and I can catch up in an hour." "What if you catch up?" Luo Di frowned and said: "What should I do if people don't recognize it?" There are hundreds of people in the other party's convoy, and when they go out of the city and go away, they won't be afraid of us, and they don't need to look at our faces anymore. If you catch up and people ignore you, can you still use force? If you have to deal with hundreds of people, how many soldiers do you bring? If you bring less and too much, what will happen to our affairs in the city?"

The guard immediately shut his mouth.

Luo Di also returned to the door sullenly, and then after unfolding the letter, he only glanced at it a few times, and his face changed.

Why?

Because this letter starts from the first sentence, the content in it is simply pointing at Roddy's nose and scolding!

The person who wrote this letter directly scolded Roddy for being stupid and useless at the beginning, and the general content was like this, although your old son Duke Minas is not very good, but he is also a famous general of the empire, and the disciples who came, whether it was Adric or Ruhl, were all famous generals. Why is it that your own son has not inherited at all? After being mixed in the east for so long, it is a shame that you have become more and more miserable.

The other party also said: The number of cavalry in your hand is rampant enough in the east, as long as you don't block it by joining forces, but now you are forcing people to not even be able to stand on their feet, which is obviously the reason for the wrong strategy. You must know that in this place in the east, a few small warlords, pull out any one alone, and you can't be defeated in a wild battle, and now people are playing a contraction defense, and they stump you? But I don't blame you for your qualifications, although your qualifications are not too stupid, and you have also received a famous teacher's education, but after all, you are the first time to lead a soldier to fight alone, and you have no experience, the most important thing is that you are not bold enough, and you don't dare to gamble, so you will be so miserable, so, for your sake, I will teach you a son, you do what I say, to ensure that you can gain a firm foothold in the east.

It's simple: aren't the local warlords playing with you to shrink your defenses? What you teach you to do is very simple: play a vote hard, gamble, and love to fight to win.

Listen, let's do the following, you find the capital city of a military region, and then put on a posture and hit the door, the bigger the noise, the better, and it is better to let the whole east know that you have gone out with all the men and horses to fight the capital of other people.

Aren't those bastards playing shrink defense with you? You go directly to their capital city, and the opponent's troops can't beat you in the field battle anyway, so you can only retreat in the city to defend, and at this time, your chance will come. You have attacked the capital city of the other country, and the governor of the other side has no strength to drive you away, so the only thing to do is to order reinforcements from other places. In this way, the following is simple: surround the point and send reinforcements!

Your subordinates are all cavalry, running fast on four legs, these military regions in the east do not have large-scale cavalry, and the reinforcements sent can only be infantry, you pull out the cavalry, each break, the reinforcements come all the way, you fight all the way, after knocking out a few reinforcements, the initiative is in your hands.

The key to this is to use the advantage of your cavalry field battles to force the opponent's army to come out and fight with you, and then destroy the opponent's living forces as much as possible.

Even if the governor continues to defend the capital city and does not go out, you can turn the horse's head and go to other cities, and the armies of those cities will be killed by your reinforcements.

I don't need to teach you the following things. This sub is enough for you to reverse the current balance of power in the east, as long as you are smart enough, follow this sub, and do it step by step, when the time comes, you will have enough advantages in the east.

If you don't have a position in the end, you can just find a pillar and kill yourself.

That's about the content of the letter.

After Luo Di looked at Xian, his face didn't know how many times he changed, and his heart was pounding.

Who wrote this letter, although he didn't know, but the content, the idea given to himself, really made Roddy moved!

It's just that this one is still very dangerous, and to put it bluntly, it's one word: gamble!

Let yourself directly lead all the people to fight the capital of other people, force the other party's army to come to the rescue, play the trick of encircling the point to help, this can be used, but it is also very dangerous, if one is not careful, the encirclement point reinforcement is not good, and it is blocked under the city, and when the time comes, the defenders in the city and the reinforcements outside the city will come to an internal and external attack, and I am afraid that I will not have my life to run back to the imperial capital.

However...... "If you get it right, and indeed as the letter says, it will open up a different situation!"

After all, Luo Di is worthy of being a tiger in the door, and after hesitating for a while, he slapped his leg violently and yelled viciously: "The old man has gambled!"

The guards didn't know where their little lord got so excited, so they watched Roddy stride out of the door, called his lieutenant general, and gave the order: "Let those guys move faster! Don't want anything that can't be moved! Get ready for me to go on the road before dark! Let's go play a big ticket!"

Several of his officers immediately became excited, and those who were bold couldn't help but ask, "Sir, how big is the game?" "Get out!" Roddy kicked the man: "Get ready to play with your life!"

As soon as the spring breeze from the sea blew, Osji went to the vicinity of the continent's heroic city, and the sores that had been poisoned by the war suddenly regained some vitality.

It was a winter of calm, and it seemed that the breath of war had receded. When the Duke of Minas went south, the suspicion of civil war once again loomed over the war-torn imperial capital. But for now, the news doesn't seem so bad.

The old duke in the south, I don't know what's wrong, he actually died down, originally had the intention of coercing the imperial capital, but now he seems to have restrained his minions, and he is thinking about being his soil emperor in the south. I heard that the old man had already begun to lay the seeds of spring ploughing in the south, but he seemed to put on a picture of how to manage the southern territory well.

Here in the imperial capital, everyone knows that the old duke is already in charge of the old man, and even if the order of the imperial capital is sent over, people will directly take it to wipe their butts. Since you don't want to bird, don't humiliate yourself at the door.

In the spring, Adric originally wanted to move, and the Duke of Minas in the south died down, no matter what he thought, he could take the opportunity to launch an attack on the rebels, even if the big battle could not be won, at least a few battles on a limited scale.

If you continue to wait like this, the morale of the army will be dispersed. Moreover, if he is sitting on great power, if he does nothing, those generals in the army who originally supported him in power will inevitably be dissatisfied.

Adric has already sent two banners of people out, even the money and food are ready, and even the choice of the leader has been decided, just wait for the army to go north in three days, and take the opportunity to take the two cities of Hughes, which can be regarded as boosting morale.

But at this juncture, something happened!
