Warhammer Throne

Led by the old guards, with a small number of knights from the local nobles and the Serf Infantry Regiment supported by Ryan, the counter-insurgency army led by Baron Biocari Juan Carlos Spectator swept the entire Leona with gusts of wind and raging waves. In the southern part of the race, the rebel strongholds were uprooted one after another. Kuangsha Literature Network

Since joining Ryan’s command, Juan has been deeply influenced by Ryan. He also listened to Ryan’s careful guidance before setting off. He has a keen eye for strategy and tactics, and he fought against the rebels. After a few battles, Juan immediately judged that the rebels seemed to be powerful, but they were actually vulnerable. They could develop and grow through the strangulation of the local nobles, mainly relying on the following aspects.

First, taking up a weapon is a rebel, and putting down a weapon is a serf. Many rebels are very cunning, but the knight masters are not easy to distinguish. After all, the serfs with pitchforks may really just want to fork the grass.

Second, the rebellious serfs knew how to hide. As soon as the knight masters came, they hid in strongholds, in the hills, and in the forest, playing hide-and-seek with the knight masters. The time was long, the army was insufficient, and there was a serious shortage of food. The knight masters can only choose to retreat.

Third, that is that the rebellious serfs are generally shared by ordinary serfs. This is very important. In Len's words, this is called "mass foundation." Although Juan doesn't quite understand why it is called, he understands the meaning.

In fact, this issue is not very troublesome. The key lies in trust. The former Duke of Lyonace Aldelaide made a major mistake in this matter. After all, the young Duke Aldelaide had done the killing of prisoners. The stupid thing of killing and surrendering had a great impact on the rebellious serfs. Although it had a deterrent and food saving effect, it also caused the serfs to lose their trust in the knight aristocracy.

Therefore, Juan, Count Doolin and Count Larote, after detailed discussions, ordered the first distribution of relief food. Juan’s distribution of rescue food was done in accordance with the recommendations of Count Doolin and Count Larote. First of all, the relief food should not be directly distributed. For the local knights and nobles, because this way, some of the relief grain will be lost when it is delivered to the serfs. Secondly, the serfs cannot be led by their heads, because the time is long and the rebellious serfs are likely to get mixed in with the grain and cause damage. confusion.

Juan remembered Ryan’s instructions. He sent someone to investigate the population of the nearby villages and calculated the proportions. Then he asked the village elders to bring people to collect bags of black bread, and warned these village elders by the way that if there is embezzlement and corruption in the middle, That can only trouble the old man to use his head to apologize.

Immediately afterwards, Juan announced a strict military order, strict all looting, and if there is military needs, he will be compensated with food or coins according to the price.

Originally, the Yan army went out to mess with men and women, but the problem is that it is not these soldiers who want to go out and mess, but the serf women, and even some little noble women, who took the initiative to post. There have been many widows after years of war, Juan thought. After a long time, I could only listen to the suggestions of Earl Doolin and Earl Larott, and step back a little, saying that he must be responsible for what he did.

It just so happened that a typical serf infantry was found among the serf infantry. A serf infantry who had fought for many years with the Duke of Lane could not help stealing a few eggs from the local serf’s house. Juan took the opportunity and severely punished him and executed two whipping in front of the serfs in the village. After ten blows, the serf infantry's skin broke and was dying.

This severe punishment was not only awe-inspiring for the three armies, but even the entire old leader of Musilon was a sensation. Rumors circulated wildly among the serfs, saying that Duke Ryan's army was different from other knight masters! He is the embodiment of the virtues of chivalry! We are saved!

Now, when some rebel serfs came to the village again to seek Tonghe supplies, the attitude of the local serfs immediately changed. Not only did they differ from these rebel serfs, they also brutally tied them up and escorted them to Juan.

And Bellegar also taught Juan a very detrimental trick. Bellegar instructed Juan to say that you should not wipe out all of them in an annihilation battle. Remember to release some people appropriately to ensure that they escape to the remaining rebellious serfs.

Sure enough, in the past few days, although there are still tens of thousands of rebel serfs, the argument that "old guards are invincible" has spread wildly among rebel serfs, and it is useless no matter how the rebel leader stops.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Juan led a group of old guards, two serf infantry regiments, and a group of dwarf artillery, as well as the knight army led by Count Doolin and Count Larote, and they were ready to attack the last few strongholds of the rebellious serfs. .

The pressure like the Pale Sisters peaks began to slowly squeeze towards the rebel serfs. The terrifying pressure almost suffocated everyone. Under the coercion of tremendous pressure, the remaining 30,000 rebel serfs were forced to concentrate. When they got up, the leaders of the rebel army got up for discussion and quickly divided into two factions.

The opinion of one faction is to immediately confront the counterinsurgency forces. Since the troops from the south must cross the river if they want to continue their march, they advocated that they should simply deploy defenses along the river to resist the offensive of the counterinsurgency forces before they are completely defeated.

The opinion of the other faction advocates retreat to the stronghold near the Arden Forest, gather the army to stand guard, and wait for the counter-insurgency army to run out of rations as usual.

The two sides quarreled for a long time to no avail, so they simply divided into two factions, wanting to defend along the river, and want to retreat to retreat.

In this way, about 10,000 rebel serfs defended along the river, and the remaining about 20,000 rebel serfs retreated towards the last stronghold.

When the rebel serfs arrived by the river, they shouted fortune, because Juan’s counterinsurgency army just arrived on the other side of the river. It was midsummer and the river was flowing fast. The leader of the rebel army arranged for his men to camp here, anyway. In his opinion, the river was flowing so fast that the knight masters on the opposite side would definitely not dare to cross the river until they had collected enough ships.

It can only be said that the decision of the rebel serfs to deploy defenses along the river was correct, but the low level of knowledge and very narrow insights made all this useless. They did not know that there was something in this world called dwarf pontoons. , This kind of pontoon does not require a boat.

With the help of the dwarf engineer Dugan-Tiehan, and under the leadership of fishermen who are familiar with hydrology among the local serfs, Juan and the two earls led the army to build a pontoon six kilometers upstream and successfully cross the river that night.

At this time, most of the rebellious serfs were still asleep.

Juan was also very patient. He signaled the army to wait for a while, and only officially ordered the attack after the dwarf artillery had finished crossing the river.

The artillery blasted, then the knights charged, and finally the old guards led the serf infantry into the battlefield. After all these battles, in countless blood and fire experience, and with the bonus of sophisticated equipment, the old guards let the rebellion The serfs realized what a real professional soldier was, and the bandits who had been entangled with knight masters for many years with long spear arrays and large wooden shields finally collapsed.

I don't know who shouted "the old guards are here" that directly caused the bombing, and eventually led to the chain collapse of the rebellious serfs of about 10,000 people.

After a fierce battle, the army of more than 10,000 rebel serfs fell apart. Fewer than 2,000 people fled, and all the rest were captured.

Out of the thirst for the population, Juan Yan's army killed prisoners and surrendered. The baron looked at the thousands of rebellious serfs who were kneeling on the plain praying for their lives.

This is all labor! A lively and lively workforce.

The prisoners were placed and a part of the army was kept under guard. Juan instructed the army to kill the prisoners strictly and at will according to Ryan's instructions. After these people were the labor force to resume production, the army continued to move east.

Villages along the way, ten rooms and nine empty, ruined walls, white bones, wild grasses, and evil beasts come and go.

The more the army went, the more serious the faces of the soldiers and knights became.

Among them, Raymond felt the saddest.

After a few years, he finally returned to his village, where he was born and grew up.

But what is waiting for him is a piece of white ground. The whole village has been abandoned for a long time in the war and looting. Perhaps in the eyes of others, this is just another village destroyed on the marching road, but in Raymond’s view, this It's his home.

Home is gone.

Looking at the village that was almost burnt to white ground, almost no trace of the past can be recognized in the ruined walls. Weeds and shrubs covered it.

Raymond's house had been collapsed for a long time. When the old guard came to his door, he found that the door had been smashed open and the contents had already been looted.

The former Lyonese fugitive shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, there is nothing valuable at home."

"This is the village where you used to live?" Baron Juan Biokari walked up. This baron was even a lot younger than Raymond. Under the golden sun burning ring helmet, there was still a little immature face on his face. Full of vigor and self-confidence, he took a closer look, and then said: "Yes, I remember that many talented people had fled from Lyonasse."

“I’m used to staying in the Duke’s domain. I almost forgot. Not every place in Brittany is as rich as the Duke’s rule.” Raymond said with some caution and sadness: “This is the case. Villages are the status quo of most villages."

Hearing this, the dusty Earl Du Lin understood.

This kid is a fugitive slave!

This escaped slave actually became an old guard? !

The veteran aristocrat suddenly felt a little sour. After thinking about it, he decided to take the initiative to speak, although in the past, aristocrats like him never talked directly with serfs, because this would lose his part.

But the Earl of Doolin and the Earl of Larote knew better than the old Mousillon nobles who were still twitching. Instead, he proactively accosted: "Listen to your accent, you are also a Lyonese! Stinky boy, Let you escape, do you know how many people died on the way to escape?"

"Uh...hehehe~" Raymond laughed awkwardly after hearing this. After all, he had escaped from slavery. Facing this kind of local nobleman, he had a natural guilty conscience, but the old guard knew that he represented the face of Duke Lane. Can only nod his head without saying a word.

Earl Doolin didn’t have much to pursue. He just went on, with a heavy tone: “That’s the case. Some people are like you and successfully escaped, but some people are forced to rebel and start a rebellion. Entering the knight’s house, opening the warehouse, and attacking the guards, after a long time, the serfs gathered together and formed a rebellion. There was no grass wherever they went. Except for the lady’s god, they not only looted the knight’s noble house. They even robbed the serfs’ small amounts of food, and the bandits crossed the border. The local serfs also suffered a huge disaster. After all their rations and property were taken away, they had to rebel. After a long time, the rebellion of the serfs was like a snowball. It’s getting bigger and bigger."

"Resolve the rebellion soon." Juan also sighed. He once thought that Bretania was under Ryan's rule: "Try to kill as little as possible. These are populations."

"Yeah!" The crowd should respond in a sudden.

Three days later, the counterinsurgency army surrounded the last stronghold of the rebel serfs in the south of Lyonnais.

At this time, the rebel serfs in the stronghold had already learned of the failure of the defense plan along the river. About 20,000 rebel serfs were crowded in very small strongholds. Simple walls made of wood, stones, and mud could Unable to withstand the counter-insurgency army, these rebel serfs really have no confidence.

The panic is overwhelming, and the slightest turmoil will take a long time to panic. This is a true portrayal of these rebellious serfs.

Inside the crowded and foul-smelling stronghold, several rebel leaders are discussing what to do. They originally planned to surrender, but after all they knew that the former Duke of Lyonasse, Aldreld, had done the killing and surrendering of prisoners, and then see you again There were only more than 2,000 troops in the army to counter the rebellion, and there were more than 20,000 people on my side, and the argument for trying to "fight a fight" immediately gained the upper hand.

"Aran, have we really beaten the Duke's army like this?" A few small bosses asked unconfidently: "That's the old guard!"

One of the leaders of the rebel army is called Aran, who is also a young man in his twenties. It is said that his father was too tired to be killed by a wood when he was serving for the knight master. This was angry and launched a rebellion. .

"What's the old guard!" Along's face was covered with scars, his hair was messed up into a few pieces, and he lost an eye. He said in a rather unconfident manner: "That's all rumors, we I haven't seen it with my own eyes."

"But..." When the other rebel serfs heard the name of the old guard, they were frightened.

"The enemy only has more than 2,000 people, and we have more than 20,000. What are we afraid of?!" Aran said impatiently: "Fight a battle before speaking. If we can win, maybe Duke Ryan is willing to surrender us! At that time! You can be a freedman and a sergeant, maybe you can be a knight, don’t you want to?"

"..." The rebel serfs stopped talking.

On the second day, the gate of the stronghold was opened. Thousands of rebel serfs led by the strongest first warrior of the rebel army, using crude weapons and wearing ragged equipment, launched a charge towards the counter-insurgency army. .

The counter-insurgency army seemed to have no response. They just stood in place, lined up in three rows, without saying a word.

The rebel serfs were a little surprised just now, and before they had time to think about it, a dazzling white light and hundreds of white smoke suddenly flashed from the counter-insurgency army. Then, there was the sound of thunderous gunfire!

"Boom~ boom boom boom!"

In an instant, the rebel serfs who rushed to the forefront fell in patches, and before the dense barrage, blood was flying, and the screams were endless.

Subsequently, the Serf Infantry Regiment opened the array, and an army dressed in gorgeous military uniforms and half-plate armor, bearskin hats, red and blue epaulettes with waist braids, and leather boots joined the battlefield. They either held halberds or Armed with a long tube of firecrackers, or armed with a big sword, join the battlefield in rows.

The strongest first warrior among the rebels, the invincible warrior who fought over several strongholds rushed to the front of the army with dozens of people, but the officer of the old guard easily drew him away. He attacked, and the halberd in his hand chopped off his head. Dozens of rebel serfs scattered away. In front of this army, their resistance seemed ridiculous.

Following the loud singing, the roar of artillery and the shouts of the flanking knights, this army entered the battlefield.

They have gone through a lot. Many of them followed him in battle after Ryan arrived in the Knight Kingdom. They fought the Beastmen, fought against the Red Duke, and fought against the horrifying god-chosen champion Egil-Red Eyes. He defeated Heinrich Kemler in the Battle of Blackstone Stronghold and the Battle of La Messenel. In the end, he even fought hard against the No. 1 Demon in the Odd Seat in the recovery of Musyron, and he recovered Musy. Long Zhong made countless credits.

At this time, facing these rebellious serfs, one of their eyes was enough to make the enemy frightened.

"The old guard is here!"

"It's the old guard!"

"We're done!"

"Lady pity us!"

Thousands of serfs were defeated in an instant, screaming for their lives.

Aran, standing behind the city wall, knew that something was wrong, and he shouted hoarsely: "Withdraw!"

It was too late, and the dwarf heavy artillery bombed the city wall, causing the defenders to be torn apart and overturned. Then the knights flanked assault. Finally, as the old guards entered the stronghold, the rebellious serfs were determined to lose.

In the chaos army, two familiar people met.

"Raymond?! It's you! You actually became the old guard?!" A familiar voice made the old guard raise his head, and then he grew his mouth in surprise.

"Aran?!"
