Wearing blue-red velvet armor, Marquis Gia, under the protection of six guards, climbed to the head of Vernon City, the mess in front of him made his eyebrows frown slightly, the position of the collapse of the city gate affected part of the city wall, fortunately, this huge crack was exactly at the shooting angle of Vernon's seventeen iron guards, it was really a blessing in misfortune,

The so-called Vernon Seventeen Iron Guards refers to the four city walls of Vernon City, seventeen large columns and hundred-arched arrow towers built entirely of huge conjoined stones, Vernon City is not a large city, it was built as the seven acropolises of Kyoto one hundred and fifty years ago, as the gateway between the hinterland of Kyoto and the north, more than half of Vernon's defense relies on these seventeen strong large arrow towers, "gather manpower and make every effort to repair the cracks!"

Marquis Gia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and angrily ordered the guards behind him, holding the frozen battlements in his hand, and his eyes swept over the Tielan Legion lined up in front of Vernon,

Although I was prepared in my heart, I was also frightened by the scene in front of me and gasped.

Oh my God, how many people are there!

Marquis Gia was so frightened that his body shook for a moment, and he saw that the entire column of troops in front of him could not see the end, extending from one side of the ridge to the other side of the order, the spears were like a forest, the battle armor was like snow, and a pressing pressure was coming, which really surprised the Marquis of Gia, when was it already a stormy empire, and there was such a huge army of survival!

"No wonder, no wonder Tielan has the heart of rebellion!"

Marquis Gia swallowed with difficulty. Ask yourself, if he was in control of such a huge army, he would do the same, in the troubled times, whoever holds the power is the winner, his wavering only lasted three seconds, thinking that once Vernon was broken by Tielan's rebels, Kyoto and his family would fall into a catastrophe, Marquis Gia gritted his teeth. Pretending to be calm, he drew his sword and shouted to the soldiers around him who were also pale

"Ladies and gentlemen, behind us is not Imperial Kyoto, but your parents, wives and children, your family, if you let the rebels enter, everyone will be doomed, I have asked for help from Kyoto, three hours. In just three hours, reinforcements will be able to arrive!" the Marquis of Gia swore loudly to boost morale,

"Yes, we have no way out!" The defenders of Vernon were shocked when they heard Qi Qi, their eyes suddenly turned red, their low morale began to rise again, and their trembling hands holding their weapons no longer trembled,

"The whole army is holding on, the archers are on the tower!" "Squeak" Countless archers drew their bowstrings on the tower. The cold arrows were aimed at the bottom, and the seventeen hundred-hole arrow towers at the head of Vernon City opened with all their strength as if they had encountered a dangerous hedgehog, and the iron lanqi below almost went crazy, and Vernon clearly regarded himself as a rebel! He saw a flag representing death slowly rising at the head of the city. Like Tielan, the officers and soldiers of the Kyoto Army saw that their eyes were about to bulge out one by one.

"Death Flag! What's the situation, is this going to war?"

The soldiers muttered to each other with ugly faces. They were given the order that the Falcon Army was approaching in the rear, but the battle flag representing the decisive battle was raised at the head of Vernon in the front, and all kinds of speculation boiled and fermented in whispers

"No, it won't. Is it really a rebellion?" the officers looked at each other uneasily on their horses, "Lord Tielan doesn't really want to ......" Even the generals who knew the specific situation looked at Tielan with suspicious eyes, and the hands of several generals even quietly touched the hilt of the sword on their bodies, and their eyes became colder and colder

"Bastard, what do you all think of me Tielan!" Tielan's face was flushed with grievance, and she had the urge to vomit blood. Vernon's overly cautious attitude was a heavy blow to the army under his command, he could feel that the morale of the whole army was shaking, the troops under his command were the Kyoto army, and the family members were all in Kyoto, if you want to say that it is no problem to go to the north to fight the enemy, if you put up a rebel flag, most of the troops will immediately mutiny, and definitely let him Tielan die without even scum

"My lord, we can't let the misunderstanding continue!"

At the critical moment, a figure stood out from the general, it was Pat, the commander of the 10th Infantry Regiment of the Northern Army who had just been attached, he looked at the battle flag of death floating above the city of Vernon in the distance, and said in a condensed voice, "In this situation, the only way is to ask the adults to go to the city of Vernon in person to explain it to the other party, or to clear up the misunderstanding!"

"Now?" Tie Lan glanced at Pat gratefully, it was really a wind and a strong grass, and the adversity saw people's hearts, no one would have thought that when support was needed the most, only this general of the Northern Army who had just joined stood up to support him,

The cavalry of the Falcon Army is rapidly approaching...... The army can't do without a command!" Tielan took a deep breath

"If your lordship trusts, I am willing to lead the Northern Legion to meet the approaching cavalry of the Falcon Army!! Buy time for your lordship's explanation!" Pat raised his head with a sincere face, "Now the situation has reached a point where it is imminent, explain to Vernon, as much as possible to open the way, is the only way to stabilize the army, although the adult's loyalty is well known, but people's words are terrifying, once the army's heart is shaken, or used by others, the adult is speechless!"

"yes, yes, just explain it clearly!"

When the generals of the Kyoto Army heard that Pat was willing to lead the Northern Army to resist the most terrible Falcon Imperial cavalry, they immediately showed a relaxed look on their faces, and they echoed one after another, eager to say that Pat was the first brave general of the Empire and a model for our Imperial soldiers.

The generals of Kyoto were smiling one by one, completely ignoring how pale the face of the other Northern Army general, Elinder, Pat proposed that the Northern Army meet the Falcon Army, and his 12th Infantry Regiment must have been among them,

"This ......"

Tie Lan's eyebrows frowned and hesitated, the cavalry of the Falcon Empire can be described as famous in Gaul, not to mention that this time it is the most elite emperor of the Falcon Empire and the cavalry of the Central Army, this is the top combat power of the Falcon Empire, the Kyoto Army, which has fought with the Central Army of the Falcon Empire many times, has long recognized the cruel fact that 20,000 cavalry of the Central Army can easily defeat more than three times the blocking troops. , to confront this vast and unobstructed area is simply to find death,

Even Tielan. It was also a decision that already felt numb on his scalp when he thought about it, so he was moved by Pat's decision.

"Please make a decision immediately, time is running out!" Pat didn't seem to know what this meant, but still embarrassed the other Kyoto generals with a respectful face, "Just ask your permission!"

The generals of the Kyoto Army gritted their teeth and said in unison, Pat's exaltation made them feel a kind of inferiority from the heart, and this inferiority made their sense of superiority of the Kyoto soldiers who thought they were superior to others disappear, and was replaced by a kind of resentment, bastard, if you want to send them to death! In high praise is also meaningless!

No one noticed a hint of drama flashing in Pat's eyes, "Okay, I'll grant your request" Tie Lan rarely showed a trace of regret, he patted Pat's shoulder heavily with his hand with the iron hand armor, and his lips trembled slightly, "Remember, you have to come back alive!" "With our army, the army will be guaranteed to be foolproof, and your lord can rest assured to explain!" Pat turned over his horse, gave a military salute to Tielan on his horse, and then turned around and ran in the direction where the Northern Army was. Elinder reluctantly followed, woohoo! A military horn sounded, and the Northern Army, numbering as many as 60,000 men, turned to the rear on the left flank, "Pat. Are you crazy?Reflexively engage the Falcon cavalry, do you know what that means?" Elinder whispered very dissatisfiedly next to Pat, who was mobilizing his troops, the order was given by Tielan, and he did not dare to oppose it blatantly. But the thought of finally returning to Kyoto and taking on this kind of life-and-death task made me very unwilling to "Elinder." How far is it from your family manor?" Pat tightened the reins of his horse, glanced at him with inexplicable affection, and asked unexpectedly, "Ten miles, my family manor is near Vernon!" Elinder was stunned for a moment, "Ten miles, that is to say, if Vernon becomes a tragic battlefield, your family will not be spared!" Pat took a deep breath and looked at the northern sky, "Vernon? Elinder was taken aback, his face became more and more pale, his family is just a nobleman in the outer area of Kyoto, and the fief is not large, just the size of one or two manors, there are no private soldiers, and it is not like those wealthy families who can build arrow towers for self-defense, if it is really as Pat said, the Falcon Army and the Kyoto Army broke out in a fierce battle here, and his family will definitely be involved,

"You're from Kyoto, so you should know the situation on the outskirts of Kyoto!"

"You mean...... The plundering of the Kyoto army!" Elinder shivered on his horseback,

The battlefield area is often the most chaotic area, if it is the Falcon Army, it is better, although the Falcon Army is brutal, but it is mainly the military side of the military, and there are not too many atrocities against civilians and ordinary small nobles, as long as they do not oppose the occupation of the Falcon Army, but our Kyoto Army is different, and it used to be able to show restraint, but since the shortage of materials in Kyoto and the soaring prices, the last bit of reserve of the Kyoto Army is gone,

Recently, some situations have shown that the Kyoto army often takes plundering behavior against the small nobles on the periphery in the name of cleaning up the scouts of the Falcon Army, and the resistance of the civilians and small nobles encountered in the raid is more brutal than that of the Falcon Army, often killing the whole family and hanging the corpse on the door to warn those who want to resist The deteriorating environment in Kyoto is also the reason why Elinder, a small nobleman in the storm, wants to return to Kyoto quickly, because Elinder knows very well that the consequence of his continued stay in the north is that his family is torn apart and disappeared like a leaf caught in a storm in the war between the Falcon Army and the Kyoto Army

"I know what you're going back to Kyoto for, but if your efforts don't work to achieve your goal, will you still insist on standing by the Kyoto Army?"

Pat looked at him, his eyes began to sharpen, and he asked in a condensed voice, like two sharp swords that made beads of sweat ooze from Elinde's forehead, Pat's current expression is really too similar to the expression when he killed Ruhr that day, since Ruel's death, in recognition of Pat, Tielan has also included Ruhr's 11th Infantry Regiment into Pat's 10th Infantry Regiment, which is twice as large as Elinde's 12th Infantry Regiment in terms of strength,

"Then what do you say?" Elinder gritted his teeth and said firmly, "Under the current circumstances, I can only stand on the same line with you, I don't care what you do, my family must be kept, this is my bottom line!"

"Rest assured, killing Ruhl is a last resort. They are all comrades-in-arms who are fighting in the north, if I can, I don't want to see more people die! You want to go home, and our soldiers are the same, it's just that your family is in Kyoto, and our family is in the north!" The corner of Pat's mouth smiled slightly, and he turned his head to look at the Kyoto army behind him, who had long been out of sight,

It's already five miles away from Tielan's main force, and there's nothing to see! Pat raised his hand and shouted to the 60,000 northern troops behind him, "Brothers. Now it's time for us to choose, all those who want to go back to the north, who don't want to be the miscellaneous cannon fodder of the Kyoto army, lay down their weapons, and all stand on the left side of the road for me!"

There was a rush of people, and the 60,000-strong Northern Army began to lay down their arms and run neatly to the left side of the road, some of whom were still hesitating. Suddenly, I heard a "rumbling" sound in the distance, like a sound like rolling thunder from a distance

"What's going on?"

Elinder stretched out a hand to catch the snowflakes falling overhead, and the branches of the white wind birch trees beside the road began to tremble rhythmically in the shaking of the earth.

"It's the Falcon Cavalry!"

The people who were still stranded in the middle began to scream, and they hurriedly ran to both sides of the road in fright, and the soldiers of the Northern Army who laid down their weapons also began to be confused

I saw that in the distance of the road, it was like a black line advancing rapidly. Twenty thousand cavalry of the Falcon Empire's Central Army emerged from afar. Across a rolling hill, the sound of horses' hooves was like thunder, occasionally mixed with the neighing of horses and the clashing of metal vests.

The black armor was lined up in several fast-moving black lines, shining with a dark luster in the golden light of the sun, and dense cavalry queues continued to emerge in the high part of the hills, looking from a distance like a black wall that suddenly appeared in the hilly area. Countless war horses marched forward highly, like a razor cutting through the middle line of the earth and stopped in the distance

"Is Master Pat here?"

A group of fierce cavalrymen in black armor escorted a man out of the cavalry cluster, and the cavalry group behind him stopped neatly, the sharp spears in their hands drooped, shining like snow with terrifying brilliance, and the cracking mountain wind passed through their ranks, and the smell of blood spread in the wind,

It was a bald, one-eyed man in heavy armor with two staggered cross hilts on his shoulders.

The strong man stopped a hundred meters in front of the Gallic Northern Army, his eyes were like sharp knives, and he slowly swept over the tens of thousands of Gallic troops in front of him, all leaning on the side of the road, and in the middle of the road, there were more than a dozen large piles of weapons,

The strong man's fierce and unique image immediately made the Northern Army here commotion, Salon! One-eyed Salon! The soldiers of the Northern Army trembled one by one, they fought with the Falcon Army in the northern land for a month, and they have long remembered the unique appearance of this Falcon Army fierce general who is said to be able to fight a thousand people by himself, like a cat staring at a group of mice,

Under the gaze of this strong man, tens of thousands of people held their breath in unison, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe

"Your Excellency is Lord Salon, I am Pat! I have already made the Northern Army separate from the Kyoto Army according to the agreement, and laid down my arms, and I ask His Majesty Falcon to keep his promise, we have nothing to ask for, we just want to go home!" Pat stubbornly came out of the Northern Army. Stopped twenty meters away from Salon, and boldly responded, his voice trembling a little, "Very good, Your Excellency's choice is very wise! If you don't lay down your weapon, I will not hesitate to give the order to attack!" The corner of Salon's mouth grinned slightly, and he took a scroll from the place where the armor hung on his waist, threw it to Pat, who was twenty meters away, and said in a condensed voice, "This is His Majesty's order, you can take a look at it yourself"

After Salon finished speaking, he waved his hand behind him, and the hundreds of cavalrymen who followed behind him untied the heavy big bags from their war horses and threw them to the ground, and the cloth bags made a heavy sound of smashing on the ground, "Bang la la" The cloth bag opened in a shaking and colliding metal sound, and a dazzling golden yellow splashed out from inside, hundreds of bags, like a large sea of yellow, orange and orange gold coins

"Shhh

Ssalon shrugged his shoulders and said to Pat, "Our army has always been rewarded for military merit, killing a person is rewarded with a gold coin, it has always been like this, our time is very tight, there is no time to delay here, I know that everyone is waiting for money, these are the first military expenses of the First Banner Regiment of the Northern Empire that I specially asked for from His Majesty, a total of 600,000 gold coins!"

"600,000 gold coins!" Tens of thousands of northern troops held their breath neatly, their eyes were green, since Yard went to Kyoto, their military salaries for two consecutive months were deducted by Duke Simon in various names, "I don't care what you think, but since it is under my jurisdiction, I have to make it clear, I have no knowledge, so I borrow a sentence from His Majesty, those who stay have money to take, those who participate in the war can make a fortune, and those who don't want to fight can go back to farming! Okay, that's it! Lao Tzu is still in a hurry to get rich!"

Saron tilted his head, waved his hand at the cavalry cluster that stopped behind him, and shouted, "Let's go, brothers, let's go and stab the Kyoto army in the ass!"

"Forward!" 20,000 cavalrymen galloped past the sea of gold coins, and the cavalry above didn't even glance at the sea of gold coins under the horses' hooves, leaving behind a group of completely stupid Gallic Northern Army! "I...... I want to go back!" In silence, a forty-year-old Northern Army said cautiously, but his hot eyes stared directly at the sea of gold coins in front of him, full of hesitation, northern Gaul has experienced many wars, its reputation has withered, and the economy is depressed, one gold coin is enough for an ordinary family to survive this cold winter, "No matter what you think, Lao Tzu stayed, anyway, there will be no one at home! It's not interesting to go back!" A young soldier gritted his teeth, walked to the sea of gold coins to pick up a gold coin, and then walked to the pile of weapons" I still have a wife and children, I need money! I need more money" A soldier walks over to the pile of money, reaches out and picks up a gold coin, and also walks to the pile of weapons (to be continued......
