Chapter 371 South
The Battle of the Successor of Burgundy Kingdom, the battlefield of the Northland entered a temporary stagnation due to the defeat of Besanson City. In fact, the Battle of Besanson is already at the end of the power of the new and old forces.
While the war in the north was temporarily extinguished, some battlefields in the south continued.
The troops of Kodor Province were defeated in the battle to support the Northland. Most of their troops followed the Thorne army of Bernard to retreat to the border of the Thorne province, while the border troops in the south of Kodor still maintained high fighting spirit. In early January, Kodor raided the southern part of the Earl of Longxia, but they were blocked by the mountains and steep mountains in the Longxia area. The troops only burned and killed and looted at the foot of the mountain. Before the Longxia mountain civilian army arrived, they returned disappointed.
The war is still raging today. Baron Sap is the southeastern part of Kodor.
Stone Fort, a stone wall less than a hundred feet long became the natural barrier for Kodor to march into Sap.
After nearly a month of attack, Kodor's army had damaged more than 130 people under the high wall of this canyon.
Kodor's army has not been through the battle for a long time, and the stable and peaceful life has smoothed their blades and blades. These people don't know how cruel and tragic the battlefield is.
Outside the stone wall of Stone Fort, there were many corpses piled up within a hundred steps. The complete corpses had been dragged back by the Kodor army to be buried. The remaining corpses were really unwilling to be dragged, because those corpses were either crushed into blood mud by huge rocks or stabbed into rotten meat by pickets in deep pit traps.
Felix is worthy of being an officer who fought with Yat. He learned all the conspiracies and tricks that Yat had used to deal with the enemy.
After more than a month, the Kodorians launched seven offensives after the war. The first five attacks Felix relied on the high walls of the canyon and the deep pit trap to beat the Kodorians to the point where they could not reach the city. The canyon outside the stone castle was too narrow, and the Kodorians' siege equipment could not be used. They could only rely on a limited number of catapults and a siege tower to try to climb the city. However, Sap's army had already set up many traps and pits before the high wall at the entrance of the valley. The siege tower could not move forward smoothly. The stone castle kept shooting arrows on the wall. After the city wall, there were catapults constantly shooting stone turbulent oil. The soldiers who filled the pit were beaten by the arrow stone turbulent oil and could not raise their heads.
During the sixth attack, the Kodor army attacked the troops led by Longxia to return to the rescue. The troops outside the Tiaoshi Fort were increased to 500. They drove a hundred serfs, pushing stones and soil, and used the lives of the serfs to fill the gully leading to Tiaoshi Fort. Just as the Sanzengkor soldiers were carrying wooden ladders and rushing into the Tiaoshi Fort with a hundred steps away from Tiaoshi Fort, a ray of smoke rose up. Before the Kodor people could react, the steep cliffs on both sides of the canyon suddenly rolled down huge rocks.
The stones are only the size of a head, but the big ones are half a person tall.
The huge rocks on the steep cliff of the canyon are Felix's killing weapon to defend Stone Fort, and are used at the most critical moment.
Sure enough, a huge rock rolled down and killed dozens of Kodor soldiers on the spot. Innumerable wounds were damaged and damaged. What's more, the road outside the stone fort was blocked by huge rocks. The two hundred Kodor soldiers prepared in the back and the three hundred attacking soldiers were blocked by rocks. Felix took the opportunity to lead the Sap defenders to open the city gate and kill the Kodors who were dizzy. In that battle alone, the Sap army killed more than fifty Kodor soldiers.
Three days later, the Kodor army began its seventh offensive, but the fifth time was purely a gesture. They used more than 300 soldiers to attract the front, and then sent more than a hundred elite soldiers to split into teams to try to run from the mountain trails to the back of the stone castle. However, Felix had already ambushed the soldiers on the trails and set up traps. The Kodors left many bodies and returned home in disgrace.
The battle against Sap lasted for more than a month, and it didn't stop until the heavy snow a few days ago. The Kodorians retreated their troops back to a small town outside the canyon to build camps.
The battle process of Tiaoshi Fort is wonderful. If it weren't for the main battlefields of the North and East, the battle scenes of thousands of people fighting each other were even more thrilling. The battle of Tiaoshi Fort is really worthy of attention.
Although the Twistone Fort was not the main battlefield, the news that Felix led his army to resist the Kodor army still reached the command camp of the Central Army of the Restoration Army. As the supreme commander of the Restoration Army, Flander was very happy when he learned about the military situation. He immediately ordered the promotion of Felix as a knight in the frontier guard of the Burgundy Kingdom and gave him a false title of military adjutant in the southern border as encouragement. In order to resolve the crisis of Sap, Flander also dispatched Count Longxia in the name of Earl of Longxia to lead two hundred mountain civilian troops to gather down the mountain to support the Twistone Fort...
Although the military achievements and achievements belonged to Felix, the commander of the Sap army, the battles of Felix and his Sap army were not all done by Felix and his Sap army. In fact, the sixth Sap defense battle began with three actual commanders of the defenders, namely Felix, Bass and Simon.
Since receiving the emergency letter of attack from Baron Sap, the Baron Sap was immediately dispatched 30 young and strong peasants from Jushi Town and Beiguan Military Fortress to rush to support Sap Fort. After the fifth attack, Kodor increased his troops. After Bass obtained the unanimous agreement of the civil affairs officials left behind in the valley, he urgently recruited fifty peasants and twenty border guards to lead them to support Sap Fort. With Bass, he supported Sap Fort with a large number of weapons and armor made by the Valley Weapon Workshop and ten instructors affiliated with the garrison army.
With the experienced and calm commanding Bass leading a group of instructors to take charge of the Stone Fort, Felix won the sixth defensive battle. Of course, Bass and Simon would not be overwhelming, so Flander received the military information report, Felix was the absolute first contribution...
In early February, the first troops who were marching north and south finally returned to Tinets County after a long journey and stopped at the fiefs of Lane Manor in Yat.
One hundred Wells Legion soldiers, more than thirty wounded soldiers, and a caravan carrying a large amount of spoils slowly drove into Ryan Manor.
It turned out that the "god leader" Raydogan, who was stationed in Ryan Manor, was still assisting in defense in Bramon City. At this time, the twenty peasant soldiers stationed in Ryan Manor were led by Valley Tunnel Officer Scott.
Long-distance marching is more difficult than fighting in front of the battle, so when the army returning from the south arrived at Ryan Manor, everyone relaxed. Many soldiers immediately collapsed in the cowshed stables of the manor and snored like thunder when they announced that they would be repaired on the spot.
Leading the team to the south was the business officer Salter and the army commander Bangeda.
The soldiers and caravan escorts fell to the ground, but Salter and Bangda, as commanders, dared not rest.
After arriving at Ryan Manor, they had to deposit all their supplies into the warehouse and send people to guard them, and they had to place the still fragile wounded soldiers.
Fortunately, the garrison officer Scott was a very capable official. He took the burden on Salter and Bangda. He personally led his peasant soldiers to prepare food and soup for the team, and cleaned up the barracks and arranged treatment for the wounded soldiers. He also took the peasant soldiers to unload a truckload of supplies into the warehouse.
After all, it was already dark.
Scott led Salter and Bangda into the Ryan Manor manor's manor and asked the kitchen to deliver a sumptuous dinner to the two. The three of them gathered in front of the fireplace of the manor while swallowing food and asking each other about their own situation.
"... These are just the supplies we have obtained from the Swabian battle. We have also regained more than 1.7 million Finney gold and silver from the Swabian robbers. It was with this million Finney that he summoned two thousand troops in the eastern border to recover Geneburg. When we left, the lord had already begun to recover the other two important towns. According to the lord's outstanding military achievements in this battle, he may be promoted to viscount soon."
"Perhaps a title of Count with a Void in the Frontier!"
Salter was wrapped in a large piece of rotten meat with oil and water in his mouth, and the wooden spoon in his hand kept wiggling in the air, expressing his excitement. Although he was not a member of the army, he was honored to be able to experience a national war personally.
Compared to the extremely excited Salter, Bangeda, who was in the army, was in a much more depressed mood. He just sat silently in front of the fireplace and ate the delicious pea paste. From time to time, he picked up the roasted bacon and took a few bites.
"Brother Bangeda, you don't have to be sad. I will definitely send the body of Brother Pats back to the valley to be buried with a heavy burial and erect a stone tablet on his grave." Scott saw the body of Pats, the captain of the Wells Legion flag, in the frame transported back to the wounded soldiers. Bangeda's best brother died in the battlefield in the East, which made Bangeda very depressed.
Bangda was still unwilling to speak, just buried his head in dealing with the food.
Seeing that Bangda was not in high spirits, Salter changed the subject, "Brothers Scott, how is the Southern Caravan of the Continental Trading Company now? I have been delaying in the North for too long and haven't heard of the Southern Caravan in a long time."
Scott was serious and his mood also declined. "At the end of December last year, the European Commerce Bank was hit in Provence. The Provence merchants who had recovered began to focus on excluding the European Commerce Bank that had just gained a foothold on the Eastern Provence Line."
"A fire broke out in a south warehouse in Kitzby. Fortunately, the southern goods we stocked in the warehouse were transported to the border outpost the day before for delivery to Baron Antayas."
"The southern goods transit shop in a castle between Kitzby and Aosta was also harassed by local gangsters. They said that our business had seized the jobs of the locals and threatened to smash the caravan and drive away all the shop managers."
"The city of Aosta is slightly better, but the tax officer of Aosta has proposed to add our taxes."
"The business road leading to the Kingdom of France on the Eastern Front is becoming increasingly unobstructed. Madeney took advantage of the heavy snow in early January to transport a batch of southern freight that had been hoarded for a long time to the French border for sale, but the goods were seized by the border defenders. Later, Madeney went to find your friend on the border and spent a lot of money to redeem it..."
Scott is a senior official in the civil affairs system. Although he is not in charge of commerce, he also knows the embarrassment of the European Commercial Bank. Scott said a lot, and he can only sum it up with the war in the Northland, Yat went on a war, Salter was not there, and the European Commercial Bank was weak in support.
Salter slammed the wooden bowl in his hand and sprinkled the soup and wheat paste all over the floor. "I knew that those bastards would attack us while we were in civil trouble!"
"Yes, the European Continental Commercial Bank has not made much profit for two consecutive months. With the only South China Merchants Trading Channel, it can only barely maintain the operation of the commercial bank."
"Last month, the old housekeeper asked the brothers of Lawrence to go south again and temporarily take over the European trading company. With Lawrence, there were several apprentices from the parish school and Kennem, the shop manager who was urgently recalled from Lucesen City. The old housekeeper asked Lawrence and the others to go to Viscount Berryon, hoping that he could help."
Saar nodded, "The old housekeeper is doing it very correctly. The European Commerce Bank has the share of Viscount Berryon. He will never watch the bacon in his bowl be taken away by others. The adults asked me to return to the south in advance to stabilize the European Commerce Bank. He said that the North would be calm for a while, and he would make arrangements for the European Commerce Bank as soon as possible while the war was not over..."
While the three were chatting, a soldier pushed the door and came in, "Dear sirs, the valley civil servants sent someone to send orders to the army returning from the south to send fifty war soldiers to Sap Fort as soon as possible..."
