Chapter 410 Murder and Arson

The sky gradually became brighter, and the sound of fighting that resounded throughout the moonlit night slowly subsided.

There is not much noise in the strongholds of the injured, except for the muffled wails of the wounded soldiers. The village sentry tower has been replaced by the people who attacked last night. More than a dozen soldiers holding sharp swords patrol the village, and soldiers guarded the arsenal granary and other places. There are open and secret posts beside the intersections to the west of the village. The cavalry team that has changed to the burqa of Kodor has run to the west of the village for outings to explore...

At the exit of the canyon in the mountainous area east of the village, a fully armed and powerful army lined up to drive out of the valley. The team was divided into three sections according to the enemy's marching state, and set up flank straits with left and right wings passing through the top of the mountainside slope.

While the convoy of baggage chariots in the back formation was still traveling through the mountains, the cavalry team in the front formation had already arrived outside the gate of the mountain pass stronghold.

The village stronghold was too small, so Odo and Angus led their troops to camp in the deserted farmland outside the west of the village to rest for a while. Yat led Felix, who was accompanying him to clean up the mess, to walk to the village.

Bangeda was leading the idle soldiers to assist the troops outside the village in camp to rest and recuperate, so only Ron was waiting at the intersection of the east road of the village.

"Ron, it's done well!" The Att came before he could praise him.

Last night, Xingchen's raid was completed extremely well under Ron's command. Only one soldier died in battle, one seriously injured, and killed fifteen enemy soldiers. The rest were all captured, and none of them missed the net.

Although this was a late-night raid, the Kodors were still on guard against Sap after being robbed at the beginning of the year. It is indeed worth praising that Ron was able to seize an enemy stronghold at the cost of one death and one serious injury.

"Thank you for your praise. Bangda and Jafar also performed well. Last night's raid, Bangda, personally led the camp, and Jafar led the cavalry to intercept all the fleeing enemy soldiers." After following Yat for a long time, Ron gradually learned to invite people to win hearts, but this is a good thing.

"Okay! I will ask the command camp to record their military merits and tell me the situation in detail." Yat jumped off his war horse and walked into the village side by side with Ron Felix...

"...... We did not kill indiscriminately according to your military order. All the enemy soldiers who abandoned their weapons and surrendered had their lives. We also treated the injured prisoners for a little while. The two leading knights were bandaged and placed under house arrest in the barracks."

Someone once accused Yat of taking too hard and killing bloodthirsty over the years, which to a certain extent was not a frame-up.

Whether it was looting Wincheston, dealing with Ryan Manor, assassinating Baron Bazer or killing the Dean family, Yat had mercilessly plundered, let alone the "heavy crimes" committed in Swabian's enemy country Biltenberg and Boufan County.

However, Yat always has two bottom lines. First, avoid killing innocent people as much as possible, and keep the most basic good and evil in mind; second, leave a way out for everything and never do anything.

Except for the Dean family with bone maggots and Baron Bazel, Yat did not kill any of the opponents. Yat once robbed Ryan Manor, Wincheston, Southwest Farm, and South Manor, but he never killed innocent civilians.

He is by no means a good person, because a good person cannot live long; but he is by no means a bad person, because a bad person cannot live long.

Therefore, Yat, who was not good or bad, issued a strict military order when leading his army to raid Kodor - not kill indiscriminately or robbery.

There is an essential difference between the enemy's territory and the enemy's country Swabian. Kodor's army is currently considered an enemy army, but Kodor will one day become a territory under the rule of Beth, and Kodor's military and civilians will also become military and civilians under the rule of Fland. No one with a little rational person will destroy his own things unless he has no choice.

Moreover, Yat will still need Kodor, a business road leading to the North in the future, and he will not let the entire Kodor regard him as a blood feud.

"Have you ever asked those two knights? Have you ever received the enemy's troops deployment?" Yat walked into the commander barracks of the village stronghold. Although the furnishings were simple, they were much cleaner and tidy than ordinary soldiers' barracks.

"I asked, the military positions of these two knights are not high, and they can not know much military information, and they are not as good as those provided by the contingent. They told Rior County that two hundred elite soldiers and three hundred peasant soldiers were gathered to guard against the attacks of the Sap army and our Wells army."

"But a few days ago, Lapas in Linjun told the police that it was the edge of the southern mountainous areas of Lapas in the thousand Longxia Mountain Civilian Army. It was possible to come out to attack Lapas at any time. Rior County urgently dispatched 100 elite troops and 200 peasant soldiers to aid Lapas. At present, only 100 elite troops and 100 peasant soldiers in the entire Rior County were stationed. Half of the garrisons in this stronghold were drawn away. Among the remaining forty or fifty people, only about 20 people led by two knights were elite. The rest were temporarily recruited from nearby."

This can also explain why the raid is not only very smooth but also has a very small price. I am afraid that the death and serious injury are also the price paid when capturing the two knights.

"How many enemy troops are there in Lapas County?"

"The number of enemy troops stationed in Lapas County and nearby exceeded 400, but they were all to guard against the elite Kodor soldiers of the Longxia Mountain people, including many light and heavy cavalry."

Yat's brow frowned slightly. With the troops sent by Rior County, there were five or six hundred people in the south of Lapas County alone. Marsey in the north of the county is also an important military fortress in the central Lapas, and the defenders must be not weak. As for the Diguan Town at the southern pass of Codor City, it must be a key point of defense.

The province of Kodor is indeed rich. While drawing troops north to participate in the east-west battle, it can also leave strength to defend the rear.

However, Yat was not worried about Kodor's army. Kodor had not fought a war for many years. A peaceful and peaceful environment could soften the hardest bones, not to mention that Kodor's bones were not hard at all.

The same army, compared with the Kodor army, which chases birds and rabbits all day long, the Yona Border Army, which is located on the eastern border of the Belarus Kingdom, often fighting against the Swabian enemy troops, is simply the same as the palace guards.

The Wells Legion, tempered by the war, believes that it is a bit stronger than the Jona Border Army, so Yat really doesn't take Kodor's army seriously, and last night's battle also unilaterally confirmed this.

Of course, the enemy can be properly despised, but war must not be despised.

Kodor's infantry combat power is mediocre, but the strength of the Kodor cavalry located in the plains is somewhat combat-powered. Even if the enemy with mediocre combat power is too different, he will suffer a loss.

This is also why Yat chose to fight the lightning raid. He did not intend to take the risk of attracting the entire Kodor army to siege and kill him.

Yat picked up a glass full of beer in the commander's barracks and took a sip, then spat out, "What kind of wine is this? It's so hard to drink."

Felix, who was standing by, smiled twice, "Brother-in-law, when the war is over, you can buy Wells beer in Codor, so make sure that these Codors who grew up drinking horse urine will lose their money and buy your drink."

Yat wiped the remains of the wine at the corner of his mouth, "That was nature. After the war, I planned to build a large wine brewing in Sap Castle. Sap's rich in wheat and good water is a good place to make wine, and it is very convenient whether it is to go north to Cordor or south to Provence."

"That's great! We can drink Wells beer every day from now on." Felix's wineworm was hooked up again.

Yat waved his hand to signal Ron, who was bleeding from his eyes, to go down and rest immediately, then returned to his seriousness and looked at Felix.

"Felix!"

"Huh? What's wrong with brother-in-law?" Felix was still mumbling with the wine glass. He looked up and saw that Yat looked serious, as long as Yat had to arrange military affairs.

"Sir, Legion!" Felix stood upright.

"Felix, I will order you to lead the Sap army to garrison the pass here, renovate and strengthen it, and become a frontier outpost that extends to Kodor."

"This place is less than fifteen miles from the Stone Fort. You will turn it into a shield of the Stone Fort. After I lead the army, Rior's army will likely send troops to re-occupate the place, but this is the gateway to the southeastern mountainous areas of Kodor. You have to guard the gate for me and don't let the Kodors lock us in it."

"But everything must be followed. If the enemy's offensive is too strong, you must immediately move to Tiaoshi Fort and then wait for an opportunity to regain the portal. You must not take it hard."

"Yes! Lord Legion!" Felix responded.

"Okay, you go down and arrange defense. The two Kordoers and prisoners will be left to you for disposal." Yat said as he walked out of the barracks, and he was going to the camp outside the village to summon military convention.

Outside the mountain pass stronghold, the Wells Army garrison commanded the tent, and officers above the flag captain participated in the military convention.

The deputy commander of the Legion and the first branch commander held a slender wooden stick in his hand to guide the sand table drawing, "... Rior must not be able to avoid it. Although we don't have to attack the county town, Rior's garrison dare not let us go. At least they will fight with us symbolically, and once the army that gathered Lapas and confronted the mountain people of Longxia woke up, they would definitely turn their heads to deal with us..."

Odo knocked the wooden stick on a slightly narrow area north of Lapas County. "According to the deployment and defense of the Kodor army and the preliminary military analysis provided by the contingent, the focus of the Kodor raid battle should be in the northern area of ​​Lapas County. When we raid to the north of Lapas County, the troops near Lapas, Rior and even the troops near Lapas County should react, and we will have to face several fierce battles at that time."

"In addition, I once again emphasize that this battle cannot be "killed and set fire" like before, both in terms of strategy and tactics and future relations between Borussia. There is no need to be ruthless when killing people on the battlefield, but once the enemy soldiers surrender, we cannot kill indiscriminately; we should also pay attention to the profits seized after the war. Do not rob any spoils other than gold, silver, bread, jerky wheat flour. The chief officials will restrain their respective commands, and the military and legal team will also strictly enforce the law..."

Odo's voice was still ringing, and the whistleman opened the curtain of the camp and reported softly.

Att, who was sitting in the upper head, turned to the curtain, "Come in!"

The whistleman saluted Yat, "Reported to the commander of the Legion that two black riders who claimed to be Longxia's leader were sent to the camp by our sentries. They said they had military information."
