Chapter 26: Starting a War (11)

Originally, Ella stayed in each area where traps were arranged. The purpose was to beat drums and shout when the enemy accidentally stepped on the trap, which scared the enemy. However, these soldiers were originally from nearby villages, and the nearby villages were villagers who were sent back in advance by Ella. When the villagers saw the Duke of Aquitaine fleeing in panic, they were encouraged by the soldiers from the same village, and they all became interested. As soon as the Duke of Aquitaine stepped on the trap, the men, women, young and old immediately jumped out and waved flags and shouted as the heads. As a result, the number of "ambushed troops" suddenly increased, so that not only at night, but also during the day, this Duke of Aquitaine was constantly "chasing".

After several days, the army was exhausted. Although their casualties were not large, the wailing sounds and horrific deaths of their poisoned companions hit their morale all the time.

Finally, they approached Monfore's territory.

Since the Duke of Aquitaine was still stationed in Monfore when Aila set up the traps in advance, there were no traps or ambushes nearby.

However, even though the traps and ambush were gone, the army still fled every once in a while.

"The trees over there moved a little, it was the enemy! There are also enemy ambush here!"

"The bird's screams are very strange, it seems to have been specially trained! Unhappy, it flew away! Go and report to the enemy! The enemy is coming soon!"

"Sir, I have stomachache and diarrhea. Every time the enemy attacks over the past few days, I will have stomachache and diarrhea before the enemy attacks. The enemy's pursuers must have approached here!"

The wind was heard and the grass was full of soldiers. Many soldiers felt that they could not return to Paris alive.

Fortunately, the military camp where the Duke of Aquitaine was stationed in Monfort, was still there.

They escaped as the evening approached. They fled all the way, let alone camping, and even leaning on the stones to take a nap in the open air with weapons. At this time, they were not only exhausted, but also hungry.

The fences and horse-rejected horses appeared in front of them. Although they were not strong, they gave people an unparalleled sense of reliability. There were reassuring flags floating on the barracks. A stream of smoke from the barracks floated out of the barracks. Although it was just smoke, their stomachs were rumbling.

"Whose troops are you?"

Several friendly soldiers on duty at the door asked them vigilantly. They were full of energy, stood upright, and looked as reliable as they were.

Their general, who had become dusty, tidied up his clothes, raised his head, cheered up, and pretended to be calm and walked forward slowly on his horse.

"I am the head of the Lusinian family, Count Kelci. With the order of the Duke, I led a five thousand army and came back to help Paris! Which part are you from? Is the Duke still stationed here now?"

"Hello Earl!" The soldiers quickly bowed their heads and saluted, "The Duke has returned to Paris. We are the army of Baron Albi. The Duke is worried that you will be pursued by the enemy when you retreat, so we will arrange for us to pick you up here!"

"It turned out to be the army of the Cavill family. The Duke thought carefully." The general nodded, "The Duke of Normandy is chasing from the rear. Please inform your lord immediately and be prepared to defend!"

"yes!"

Soon, a man with an officer-like appearance ran over hurriedly.

"Hello Count! Our baron has followed the Duke of Aquitaine to Paris, and I am now in command! Please go to the camp first to rest and we will block the enemy!"

Although there were not many defenders in this military camp, they were at least a new force. The enemy was chasing them all the way and they must have been exhausted at this time. Thinking of this, the general was relieved.

The subsequent troops rushed over to meet up one after another. They set up their own tents in the camp, borrowed pots and bowls, and cooked with fire. After a bowl of hot soup, the soldiers' spirits finally recovered a little, and the pursuers they had been worried about never came.

The officer guarding the camp came over and asked them to rest tonight. They would do their duty well and were very polite. This is also natural. After all, such small officers do not have titles, and their status is very different from that of their nobles who commanded the soldiers.

The general saw that the original soldiers in the camp had been gathered at the entrance of the camp and was ready to deal with the enemy's attack at any time. It seemed very reliable, so he handed over the garrison work of the camp to them with confidence.

"You can set more flags," he told the officer, "When the enemy sees the military camps being clean and densely packed, they will definitely not dare to attack for a while. When we recover tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we will help you guard the camp."

After explaining this, he fell asleep with peace of mind.

I don’t know how long it took, a basin of cold water poured on him. The bone-bone cold made him wake up suddenly.

He found that there were several black shadows in his tent, and his neck had been pressed by one of them with a sword.

"It turns out it was Count Kelsch and a member of the Lusinian family." A voice said lightly, "You are my prisoner. Just don't resist, you can save your life."

"Who are you?" He stared at the shadows in horror, "How did you come in?"

"How did I come in? This was my camp, and I still need to come in? You even gave the camp guards completely to my people."

A candle was lit up, illuminating Carolin's face.

The general's face suddenly turned blue: "You...why are this military camp yours? When did you come around us?"

"It is not to go around in front of you, but I have always been here, in front of you. The Duke of Aquitaine withdrew and I took this camp, that's all."

"Duke of Aquitaine? Please find out one thing. This is the Ile-department of France, and it is my territory!" Caroling's eyes were full of sarcasm, "And I have so many lords in my hands as hostages. Is it difficult to choose a territory close to it and hide it in his castle for ten days and half a month?"

"You...you are cheating!"

"Shut up. My patience is limited." Carolin said coldly, "Surrender, or do you get a sword from me?"

“I…I…I…I…I…”

The general's lips began to tremble. He drank the potion that could be resurrected. He shouldn't have been afraid of such threats. As long as he shouted at the price of a chance to resurrection, the nearby troops could react in time. But along the way, he had learned enough of the enemy's poison. If the sword in Carolin's hand was also poisoned, he would definitely die as long as he was wiped with a layer of skin.

"Responding to the lord's call and fighting with the army, it is not a crime to do your duty as a noble. Now that your obligation has been fulfilled, no one can blame you." Caroling said, "Or, are you trying to sacrifice your life for the Duke of Aquitaine?"

“I…I…I…I…I…”

"The entire barracks are our people, and there are three thousand troops and horses outside the barracks that I am ambushing. Behind them, there are also the army of the Duke of Normandy who are coming to support. And you don't even have weapons on your hands. What are you still sticking to now?"

"I...I surrender."

The general finally closed his eyes with all his heart.

The rope was tied to him. When he was pushed out of the barracks, he saw that several other lords who commanded the troops were pulled out of the camp like him.

Since all the lords were captured, the army of five thousand men soon surrendered in an established manner.

"I don't understand something." The general asked disheartenedly, "Even if you are hiding in the castle of other lords, this is mobilizing troops after all. Such a large-scale personnel transfer will inevitably be seen by irrelevant people. How do you make sure that no news comes out?"

"Massive personnel transfer? How many people do you think I have now?" Carolin sneered, "Tell you, four hundred and twelve people, your number is more than ten times that of mine!"

"Only four hundred and twelve people?" The general's eyes widened, "Calorin, you said you ambushed the three thousand troops! You lied to me!"

"So what if you lie to you? Can you still break free from the rope and counterattack?"

"I……!!!"
