There are still 25 minutes left before the establishment of the Great Song Dynasty

***

On the street, Princess Jeanne and a group of Greek thugs are walking briskly. However, many people are clearly reluctant, and there are constantly people who deliberately move to the sides and rear, trying to deliberately leave behind and escape. There were quite a few people who thought so, and soon there was a large group of people who slowed down. The two knights who followed kept driving them before they could move on.

Still, the Greeks continued to try to escape, and the young knights who remained at the end were a little tired of it. After helping to drive back a few people who deliberately leaned back, on the other side, two more people ran to the wall, trying to escape over the wall. He saw that the distance was a little far, and there were still many people in the middle, so he simply pretended not to see it and didn't care.

But the middle-aged knight next to him immediately slapped his horse and rushed over. The Greeks on the road didn't have time to dodge, they were overturned several times, and some people were directly trampled by horses, and they didn't move after shouting, and they probably couldn't survive. Rushing to the wall, the two men had already set up a human ladder. The knight raised his hand and slammed the one below. The man above had already grabbed the wall, and the knight slammed another blow on his waist, and the man fell down screaming.

The other thugs panicked and stopped where they were. The middle-aged knight shouted and drove them away. Seeing that he raised the hammer again, the others immediately became honest.

However, the young knight seems to have some disagreement. When he turned his head back and the two approached, the young knight couldn't help but whisper: "These Greeks have no combat ability at all, and driving them to the battlefield will drag us down. Those who want to run away are afraid that their legs will be weak when they see real knives and guns. Isn't it more troublesome for us to have to stare at them distractedly when we really fight? ”

"I think it's better to let them get out of here, and leave those who have a little courage and willingness, which is enough. Shall we talk to the princess, don't rush so many people. He suggested.

"You're thinking too simply." The middle-aged knight disagreed: "We don't care about their performance, but they care about each other." If you don't care about them, other people who didn't have a mind will follow suit. There are a lot of people here, but if you indulge it, it will soon run out. ”

"Most people don't have military ability, they don't have fighting spirit, they don't even have the hope of training. You haven't participated in large-scale full-scale wars before, maybe you don't know about this kind of thing, and you'll know it after you've experienced it a few times. He admonished his juniors: "When I was in the service of the court, I had the privilege of witnessing several discussions. Some knowledgeable and distinguished gentlemen have long wanted to follow the example of the English and form a reliable civilian army. However, their attempts were never successful. ”

"By now, everyone can be sure that there are differences in military capabilities between people in different places. Just as today's French civilians are unfit to be infantry, these Greeks are clearly unfit either. I've always heard that the Roman Khanate had a unique knack for training soldiers to turn obscure farmers into qualified warriors. As a result, the Roman Khanate did not bring these people, which shows that they were originally like this. ”

"I've heard that in northern Greece, a military government has also been established, and the people there can still be soldiers, and there are very warlike troops." The young knight asked with some curiosity: "They are all Greeks, how can there be such a big gap?" ”

"Those who can accept legions are not Greeks, but Romans." The middle-aged knight corrected: "If possible, of course I would like to fight with those powerful warriors, but who makes us have no choice now." ”

"Everyone wants to be able to go into battle in a perfect state, but the reality is that war is not ideal. Every time I actually go to the battlefield, in fact, I can muster as much strength as I can. ”

"Our wars with the Kingdom of England are often forced to start when both sides are not well prepared, which is why they are exhausted and we have different orders. It doesn't seem to be a comparison of who can fight, but rather a comparison of who is relatively less humiliating. Although these things are contrary to the traditional rules of knighthood, and do not conform to everyone's romantic imagination of war and conquest, but in reality, this is the case. ”

"So, to be a simple warrior is relatively simple. But in order to become a qualified knight and deal with various problems in war, you have to learn a lot of things outside of combat. Don't underestimate these miscellaneous technologies, you will definitely be able to use them when it is critical. ”

"When I left my hometown, my family wanted me to get out. The few retinues who followed me were also forced by life, and they couldn't survive without fighting. This is basically the case with the people we've recruited. The young knight said, "I really have little experience in rushing into battle with those who are reluctant to do so. ”

"That's because you haven't fought a tough battle. When the battle is fierce, the soldier has to face the blade and blood, and there is a test of life and death at any time. Even people who have always been brave will want to run away at such a juncture; People who have undergone rigorous training are often frightened and at a loss when they really go to the battlefield. And what about ordinary people? The middle-aged knight shook his head: "It's hard to say whether people who are willing to fight can really fight if they can really fight." ”

"Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and this instinct prevails over reason, and many times it can even make people ignore the basic truth. You see, everyone knows that during a battle, the biggest casualties come from the stampede formed after the collapse of one side and the subsequent pursuit. However, even though most people can't help but want to run away, even though they know that they are more likely to survive and run away. ”

"So, we need the most determined people to supervise and supervise others. Repeatedly remind them to come to their senses and remind them again that only by fighting can there be hope of living. And the most effective way to supervise is to use instinct to deal with instinct. He explained: "You kill the person who led the escape in front of him, so that they directly feel a stronger threat of death, and they will temporarily come to their senses and remember what they should do." ”

"That's ......"

"Although it seems to be bloody, the battlefield is the place where life and death are decided, and moderate severity is necessary." The middle-aged knight said: "Now the city doesn't know what to do, if you let them do their own thing, who knows what the consequences will be." We're going to have to keep a tighter grip on the war, so they can at least defeat the rest of the mob that no one else has to manage. It is estimated that we will encounter a lot of such emergency matters when we go out on expeditions in the future. That's why it's also a military skill. ”

"I see." The young knight nodded.

He wanted to ask something more, but in front of him, someone suddenly rushed out and shouted straight at Princess Jeanne: "Princess, princess! You're here, come and check it out! ”

Princess Jeanne hurriedly looked over, and the others also turned their heads to look at him. I saw that his armor was torn, and his face was still bleeding, and he looked quite embarrassed.

"A thief hit him first?" The princess asked hurriedly.

"No, it's the people over there who can't hold out." The person who came reported: "We asked the mercenaries to go in and arrest people, and they actually opened fire directly." The two sides fought, and soon they were in a hurry, unable to evacuate, but unable to enter. Let's hurry to ask you, what now? ”

"What about Sir Le Bornay?" Princess Jeanne asked, "Didn't I let him take care of it?" Whether it is a negotiation or a fight, there should already be results. How long has it been, and the assault should have already captured people, what is he doing? ”

"Sir Leborne's helmet is too conspicuous." The person who came made a gesture on the helmet: "At the beginning of the confrontation, the people inside shot him, and smashed the sculptures on the helmet, and the people were also stunned, and they haven't woken up yet!" ”

"Damn, I told him, don't bring the ceremonial helmet to the battlefield, he really won't change it!" Princess Jeanna flicked her whip angrily: "What about the others? ”

"Antoine is in command, but the situation is chaotic right now, and I don't think the mercenaries will last long." The person urged: "Princess, hurry up, I think only your banner can make everyone feel at ease!" ”

Princess Jeanne obviously didn't expect that what she thought was a small task that could be completed by the way would make such a big deal and almost overturn on the spot.

"Did you get temporary reinforcements from some forces over there? Or did the Roman court send guards to help? Do you see the flag? She asked, "I thought it would be solved with a demonstration......

"No, we only saw King Wu's banner, and we didn't see more reinforcements coming." The visitor shook his head: "The people inside are not regular Roman soldiers, we can be sure of that. They weren't the Rus' or Italians who were making trouble, so they weren't sent by other forces temporarily. ”

"The only permanent guards there are my unassuming 'husband', a bunch of broken houses and peasants who have been blindly searched." Princess Jeanne told him: "He is like mad, and he spends his days thinking about dealing with the great nobles of the land." But the royal family can't do anything, and his own ability can only lag behind. The big nobles hated him, and the small nobles didn't respect him, and finally it became more and more outrageous, and he was reduced to a group of peddlers and pawns who could only help him do great things. ”

"Even those people in King Wu's mansion know that these people don't have much combat effectiveness, so they just deal with them and arrange some miscellaneous work for them to support their families. If they were so good at fighting, it would be outrageous......" She shook her head, frowning in thought.

"I have heard that the Orientals have always been cunning, and that their intellect is so great and varied that even the wisest Greeks cannot compare with it." The person who came reminded: "Could this be some conspiracy of King Wu?" Think about it, how could he, a prince of Seris, be so stupid? Could it be that this is just him pretending, performing for a bigger plan? ”

"He has the ability?" Princess Jeanne obviously didn't believe it: "I was able to come up with such a secret strategy, and I succeeded in letting people execute it, and even let the people here secretly cooperate - what does he want to do?" ”

"No, we can't guess." She shook her head: "It's so wrong, I'll have to see for myself." It just so happens that I have reinforcements on my side as well. ”

"Hey. I thought it was easy to deal with these Greek snakes. I don't know what went wrong. She muttered a sentence and shouted to the knights, "Let's speed up and get over quickly!" ”

"Yes!" Several knights answered.

They quickly drove a group of Greek thugs to reinforce the Wu Palace.

There are too many real things, I'm sorry......
