Medieval White Elf Story

Chapter 48 Medieval Warfare

August 1476, 8 in the Elven Calendar, is destined to be an unforgettable day for all the white elves of Estilia. On this day, King Cleese IV of Cecilia led his army to the capital of Estilia. Sean, the few defenders responsible for staying here had already evacuated in advance along with Marquis Latina's large army, so the human army occupied the city without bloodshed.

Although after the fall of the entire Principality of Contan in the north 11 years ago, Cassian has become the front line of the war between the white elves and humans. The king, crown prince, and nobles of the kingdom have all withdrawn to Erfurt, neither willing nor able to defend it. The royal capital, but when Cassian was really captured, it was still a shocking event.

This is not the first time that humans have set foot in this white elf capital. When the Second Kingdom collapsed, the nobles who fought with each other for the throne once led wolves into the house and united with the Cecilia people to invade Cassian, but at that time The Silians were just helpers brought by the white elves themselves, but now they have become conquerors in the true sense.

Cleese IV entered the long-empty palace of King Estilia, unceremoniously took it as his own as his new palace in this land, and signed a series of edicts demanding that The lords of all regions in Styria came to meet and surrender. The human envoys quickly visited the fiefdoms of every Estilia noble.

But unfortunately, the single-minded Estilians refused Cles IV's order. Except for the puppets in the Cecilia-occupied area, there were only a few people who responded. This made Cleese IV's good intentions difficult. Most of the mood disappeared.

Since the Estilians still have unrealistic illusions about their king, Kress IV's only choice is to continue the war, capture Erfurt, and let the crown prince who stabbed him die for the first time. When a man falls on his knees and begs for forgiveness for his crime, there is no need to worry about the Estilians surrendering obediently at that time.

The top priority is to eliminate the [-] Estilian army commanded by Marquis Latina. This is the biggest capital the Estilians rely on to make a comeback.Although the behavior of Marquis Latina to flee after hearing the news made Claes IV very contemptuous, from the perspective of a commander, he had to admit that Marquis Latina was a very courageous opponent. In order to preserve his strength, he even went to Cassian They all decisively abandoned the defense without any hesitation, which also made Clais IV's plan to defeat the Estilian army in Cassian come to nothing.

After resting for half a month in Cassian, the strength of King Claes IV's troops increased to more than 3000 after gathering reinforcements sent by Duke Mann and Duke Tasia, and another [-]. Four thousand new Cecilia troops also began to land in the north, but Cleese IV still did not intend to wait until all the troops were assembled before launching an attack. That would take too long, so he did not wait until September. At one time, he led his army to march eastward towards the Rieno area, preparing to open up a passage to Erfurt, and at the same time induced the Marquis of Latina to have a decisive battle with him.

With the loss of Cassian, the Crown Prince has lost all the chips he won through early raids. Eager to save capital and stop the bleeding, he can only make two preparations. On the one hand, he hopes that the Marquis of Latina can provide help in the Rieno area. The Cecilia people fought head-on to ensure the safety of Erfurt; on the other hand, they hoped that the old Tibes army would join the northern war as soon as possible to add more chips to their plan to turn over.

In order to ensure that Old Tibbs would not change his mind due to the development of the war situation, the envoys sent to Quen not only urged Old Tibbs to send troops quickly, but also invited the Duchess to take the Duke's youngest daughter north to hold a wedding, hoping to rely on marriage To keep old Tibbs on his side.

In early September, after joining the troops of Count Demonel who had set out earlier, Old Tibes led [-] troops from the Principality of Zeon and hurried to the outskirts of Erfurt. After a brief stay, the army turned around and headed westward. Joined forces with the Marquis of Latina at Manwat and prepared for a decisive battle with the Cecilia.

In the evening, after the army set up camp, Flynn immediately asked his followers to boil hot water and prepare to take a good bath and clean up all the filth.

In addition to washing away the odor of sweat and dust, a hot bath can also effectively relieve the fatigue caused by running around for days. This is an exclusive trick that Flynn has mastered during the past few months of marching, but compared with other people in the army, Nobles and warriors in the army chose women or spirits to relax. Taking a hot bath was not easy, because Flynn was surprised to find that in the army of this era, a pot of boiling hot water was a scarce item. .Because no one cares about the problem of not taking a shower for several months, even ordinary drinking water can be found directly from a clean-looking river, so boiling water for bathing has become an alternative.

Flynn had no intention of popularizing hygiene knowledge to these medieval guys. He was already very tired from following Baron Halga in the past few months. He didn't want to be a different person in the eyes of others.

Relying on flattery and the supply of fine wine, Baron Halga taught him everything he could, allowing Flynn to come into contact with a lot of medieval military knowledge, of course, mainly logistics-related things. After all, this guy was a quartermaster in his own job.

In order to raise the food and fodder needed by the army today, Flynn also ran around and gained a lot of knowledge.

In medieval marches and battles, there was no so-called logistical planning. The so-called supplies meant grabbing supplies wherever they went. All civilians were treated equally, whether on their own territory or in enemy-occupied territory.

Whenever the army arrives at a town or village, they will blast all the men, women, old and children into one place. If it is the territory of a noble who is related to the Principality of Zeon, the local administrator will be asked to come forward and tell them that they need Provide something and then deliver it to the military camp by yourself at the designated time.If it were not a noble fiefdom, then let the soldiers sweep away all the livestock and food by themselves, and then burn down all the houses, which would still be regarded as completing the military supply task.

The only thing that can distinguish the Estilian army from the Cecilia invading army is that at least the Estilian army rarely massacres the victims on a large scale after looting.

Flynn has gone from being shocked at the beginning to being unable to bear it, and then slowly transitioning to a state of numbness. Every time he follows Baron Halga to collect military supplies, all he can do is rely on his status as a noble to stop some people from looking at him. He didn't want to think about the killing of civilians in various places. As for whether there were other atrocities in places that he couldn't see, he didn't want to think about it and didn't bother to think about it.

The only thing that made him willing to think about it was that he had never heard about the cheap daddy. This made his behavior of running all the way to the battlefield seem somewhat meaningless.

Soaking himself in a large wooden barrel filled with hot water, Flynn tried his best to drive out the worries about cheap daddy from his mind. At night, he also thought about copying a new story to a little loli and sending it out. It's better to feel calmer.
