Chapter 157 Tension
The weather was extremely hot in mid-July, but the atmosphere of a border outpost in the south of Burgundy was condensed into a freezing point.c8c88c8readc8c.
Three days ago, a small guīgtu had already occurred at the border outpost. The cause of the conflict was that a South Carolina guarded more than 20 people refused to repatriate the outpost. When the garrison planned to seize them, more than 20 guards drew out weapons to resist, but were defeated by the army soldiers next to the outpost in one battle, killing seven people in a formation, and the rest of the guards were all confiscated weapons and bound to detain them. Of course, the goods carried by the caravan were also confiscated.
Two days ago, the Dean family, who learned that the caravan was intercepted, finally couldn't sit still. While suing the border guards and the court, they openly plundered the caravan responsible for transporting the palace supplies to Tinets and the court, threatening to go to the border outpost to "rescue" the caravans that were "guānfěi" bǎngjià, while gathering the recruited and recalled mercenaries and guards. Under the personal leadership of the court guard Knight Dean, the "Dean Legion" of nearly 100 people set off from Wincheston Manor and slowly moved towards the south.
A day ago, two waves of troops were sent to the Dean family and the valley knights to mediate the conflict. Viscount Pierre knew that this bloody conflict between Yat and the Dean family was inevitable, but he really did not want a fight between the lords during his reign on the county of Tinets. What's more, the little guīgtu between the little lords was also cast in the shadow of the struggle between the powerful and powerful in the palace...
At noon, Sir Jerry, who represented Viscount Pierre, came to the valley knights to mediate, and Yat called all the officials who stayed in the valley knights in the lord's hall.
"The war is a foregone conclusion. The caravan we defeated a few days ago was actually a trap set by the Dean family. Now that it has a name, the temporary army that the Dean family has pieced together has begun to move south. In the afternoon, I will take the recruits who have completed basic training to leave the valley. The valley knights will lead me to you."
"Scott, Lawrence, Geer, Lynn, starting this afternoon, you will bring the regular peasant soldiers of the Valley Guard to the Beiguan Army Fort construction site to station. The exterior wall of the military fort is already five feet high. You will be stationed in the military fort and transport the food and supplies prepared for you. 88 Readings, 2↘The enemy should not come here, but we have to be prepared. In addition, you will select a few clever peasant soldiers to build a post in the south of Jushi Town. If Jushi Town is attacked and needs reinforcements, the post will be rewarded immediately. You will take the guards to Jushi Town to provide assistance."
The four of them answered in unison, their faces full of excitement.
"Cube, you are left behind in the valley wood fort and the valley land. Now that the wheat has been harvested, you have let all the young and strong peasants gather at the Mubao. First, you have to conduct training and be ready to support the Beiguan military fort or accept dispatch. Second, you can help the craftsmen to make and repair weapons. Don't worry about the consumption of money, food and materials during this time. If we win this time, there will be a steady stream of wealth and goods entering the valley. In addition, you will select a few brave and reliable men from the peasants to form a security team. Let me tell you that if there are war slaves or leaders in charge of trouble before the army returns, they will kill them directly."
"Okay, don't worry, lord." Cooper stood up and replied.
Yat lowered his head and thought for a while, and continued to instruct: "Give the apprentices in the parish school apart, such as short spears and single swords, and let them form a patrol team to patrol and wait for the valley knight leader. Let Redoan's son be the captain of this temporary patrol team, and that savage guy has been in the bandit's nest, and he is brave enough."
"Okay sir."
After answering, Cooper hesitated for a moment and asked Yat in a low voice: "Master, I heard recently that Baron Galvin is in poor health. Should I ask my wife to go back to Sap to visit Baron Galvin?"
Yat was still a little moved after hearing Cooper's words. He knew that this half-old man was worried about the crisis of the valley knight leader and wanted Lotti to return to Sap Fort to avoid danger, so that Yat would lose any concern and worry in his heart.
Yat looked at Cooper with gratitude and replied, "Cooper, I know what you are worried about, but the lady told me that she is already the hostess of this valley. She will not leave the leader's people alone in the crisis to seek stability. She vows to protect this valley with you..."
"Brother-in-law, Lucinien has returned with the whistle cavalry team. Should we set off right away?" Felix broke into the second floor bedroom.
With the help of Lotti, Yat put on a modified set of slab armor, "let Lusinian take the whistle team to rest for a while before setting off, and give the war horses water and feed them."
He turned around and looked at Lotty, and Yat called Felix back, who was walking out of the door, "Felix, I mean you stay in the valley for me to assist in command of the valley guards. I am always worried if the valley knights lead the warriors and officers stay in charge. Besides, your sister wants you to stay and protect her."
Lotty looked at Felix and nodded repeatedly.
Felix smiled, "Okay, brother-in-law, I know what you mean, but now I am your warrior, and I have the right to fight with the army."
"Since you admit that you are his warrior, you should obey his orders. If he lets you stay and protect the valley, you should obey!" Lotty was really worried that his younger brother would go out to take this risk. The bandits' raid on the town of Giant Rock and the last assassination of the northbound trip made Felix threatened. Lotty didn't want Baron Sap's heir to be in danger at all times.
"Sister, if you say that, I am not Sir Yat's subordinate. I am the visiting commander of the Legion. I will take my soldiers to fight for Sir Yat." Felix simply played a rogue.
Lotti was so angry that she almost cried.
Yat hurriedly comforted, "Lotty, Felix will sooner or later hold up the burden of the Sapyuge family. You should let him experience it, and I will take care of him as I will follow me."
Lotti was still tearful, "How can I not worry about sending the two men I love most in my life to the battlefield at the same time?"
"Okay, it's okay, I promise God that we will return to the valley safely."
"Felix, let the recruits gather and stand by, we will set off in a while!"
On the fifteenth day of the border outpost blockade, Yat led the last team to leave the Valley Knights Leader.
This team of twenty recruits who have just completed basic training, six sentry cavalry and three guest cavalry will be the only combat reserve team in the next armed conflict. The team will cruising at the Jishi Town Station and the border outpost where they need it, they will go there to support.
On the edge of the dense forest of Beiguan, more than 20 new recruits sat in two rows on the ground to rest for a while.
Yat is boosting morale to the new recruits who went on a war for the first time, "Dear soldiers, brothers, from today on you, you will enjoy the treatment of war soldiers - you will receive monthly salary, you will receive rewards for killing enemies, you will receive healing when you are injured, you will receive land when you are injured, and you will die in battle and go to heaven."
"And after this battle, you will be directly included in the army warriors. Some of you will be promoted to the battle team leader, squadron leader, and squadron leader for your merits. Your status will be raised step by step with the heads of your opponents..."
The fear of the first outing in the hearts of the recruits was slightly relieved by the inciting words of Yat. They did not fight for their ideals and beliefs, but mainly because during this period they were already familiar with the high military pay and various combat rewards of the Yat Legion soldiers, as well as the injury and retreat for public security.
These recruits were all the poorest "untouchables" living at the bottom. They never thought that their lives could become valuable, so when they were inspired by Att, the morale of the recruits quickly increased. Although they could not expel the fear of death, at least they had the motivation to grit their teeth and charge...11
