Chapter 307 boast

The Jurchen cavalry of Conguru, with the power of victory, chased eastward for sixty miles. They had long surpassed the deserters, but they still ran until the outskirts of the city, and they could see the vineyards on the left bank of the Garon River.

Franco's riders only wanted to chase and kill the defeated army at first, but after running for more than ten miles, they were overtaken by the cavalry of Baishan Camp, fearing that their more than a hundred cavalry would be surrounded and killed by the enemy's ambush, so they led the cavalry to follow.

As a result, his cavalry was commanded by Congulu with gestures: rob this, rob that; attack this monastery and level the manor... There were no people in the suburban manors that were extremely prosperous along the way. As soon as the news of the war reached this land, the nobles, squire and merchants drove their carriages to ask for refuge from the nearest castle.

The farmer and the woman had no other choice but to run to the city with her family.

Therefore, French farmers are the happiest farmers in Europe. They are still willing to run into the city. For example, in low-country countries such as Spain or the Netherlands, farmers do not run on the land where wars continue.

They had no choice but to join the rebels or to be summoned to suppress the rebels, or to stay where they were left to fate.

Anyway, no matter whether your own army or other countries' army, you will plunder it when you come. Your feet will fall on the ground sooner or later, and at least your intestines can hang on the tree.

There were still a small group of garrisons scattered in the area, but the farmers who were armed urgently with dung forks and stones could not pose a threat to Kangguru. They even ran away when they heard the sound of horse hooves, and there was no question of resisting them.

The mighty Kangguru rushed to the city and burned thick black smoke on the road he passed by one manor after another. He only needed two cavalry to escort dozens of people who had no time to escape and pushed a cart to transport the spoils back to the port.

Four second-story dome bell towers in the square in front of the city hall are ringing constantly. Even outside the city, you can hear the continuous sound of small bells ringing. These small bells have been used to remind citizens that the fire is raging, or that the people outside the city have ripe grapes.

But at this moment, it can only be used to remind the people of the enemy to attack.

Kangguru found the most verbal rider under his command and stuttered outside the city for a long time, but no one could understand.

Spain is too closed, and Fei Laoer has enacted a law that does not allow Spanish people to go out to study in other countries, nor does scholars from other countries allow them to enter the country to study.

It is rare that there is a knowledgeable person in the city who can understand Spanish, nor can he understand Spanish in the dialect version of the Sihada tribe of the Jurchen under Kangguru.

In the end, Franco stepped forward to rescue: "Your main force has been defeated by our army. As long as the city of Bordeaux is handed over... General Kang, how much does it cost?"

Conguru couldn't understand what Franco was saying. In short, the guard captain in the city led the city officials and nobles to pluck up the city wall, and saw several Spanish cavalry standing in the distance, mixed with foreign cavalry who couldn't see the way, not knowing what they were talking excitedly.

Behind the dense treetops of the dense forest in the distance was thick smoke. The small team of horses was running back and forth, carrying large bags of small bags on their butts, and they didn't know where to grab things from.

The defenders sent people out of the city to negotiate with flags, but they were driven back due to poor verbal communication.

In France, a place with abundant martial ethics, the truly knowledgeable knights were captured in the port of Bordeaux.

The two sides were waiting for the main force of the Ming army through several military fortresses outside Bordeaux and the urgently built fortifications.

Not only the French in Bordeaux were waiting, but also Conguru and Franco were waiting until noon the next day, but they had not seen the mercenary infantry company as the main force coming over.

When the rider from the Kanggulu sent back came back, he realized that Chen Jiujing was not in a hurry at all and was still cleaning the battlefield in the bay basin. He only sent a soldier who was familiar with French to read to Bordeaux that the Eastern Army Palace asked for ten thousand taels of silver, one thousand donkeys, five hundred war horses and one thousand aristocratic ransoms of one thousand four hundred taels of gold.

Chen Jiujing was busy stabilizing the morale of the army. The mercenary company, mainly infantry, suffered heavy damage in the fierce battle. Even if he gritted his teeth and advanced towards Bordeaux, he could not maintain his combat effectiveness and carry out a new siege.

His methods of stabilizing the morale of the army are divided into three categories and five types, namely: praising, praising, praising.

"War well, I know that the Juan Mercenary Group suffered extremely high losses in the face of the enemy this time, but you are very brave, especially General Juan. Even the commander of the Western Army on the Asian battlefield did not have a brave general like you. In Spain, only the famous generals of ancient times can compare with you!"

"What, don't tell me that your company ran away when it was defeated. At least you did not surrender. Where did their knights rush over and there are infantrymen who don't escape?"

Chen Jiujing couldn't stand it even when he praised Juan. The helmet on his head was smashed and the swollen bag had just been bandaged. Juan felt dizzy. He heard the praise from the general of Ming Dynasty and his face turned red: "Many of my soldiers surrendered."

"It doesn't matter if they surrendered. They all launched a counterattack later. Some people under General Guzman also surrendered, but I saw with my own eyes several surrendered soldiers picking up weapons and fighting against the enemy after the cannons at the city. There are also General Aji's subordinates carrying two muskets and two long swords to chase and chop the enemy!"

"These are all the best soldiers. I know you are not trained enough. This time we have given a lesson from the bleeding, but it will not be like this next time. We have proved with this battle that the six generals of Xiyong Camp and more than 3,000 soldiers from all over the world have the possibility of becoming elites in the world."

"I want to renew your contract with you and extend the contract to three years. After returning, the six generals will serve as recruiters and fill up the soldiers who lost their losses in this battle. I will invite outstanding instructors from the Eastern Military Office of the Ming Dynasty to train them."

"All soldiers who survived this battle will have a salary of half as agreed in the contract; those who are injured but can continue to work will be paid an extra monthly salary; those who cannot fight will be paid a two-month salary, and those who are killed will be paid a three-month salary."

Chen Jiujing praised the five mercenary leaders who stayed on the Gulf battlefield and were confused. He ignored all complaints about the fierce battle, and no one even mentioned them. They were just busy calculating money now.

"But there are two things I have to say ahead. First, when recruiting soldiers, don't use hiring prostitutes to pretend to be noble ladies to lead men into the cellar and lock them up and hungry for several days and don't let them go if they don't agree to join the army. That way, they won't recruit good soldiers."

"Secondly, the combat-capable garrison in Bordeaux has been eliminated. It is time for us to collect the spoils, but I know that the troops are unable to fight, so we have to pretend to be like, gather all those who can fight, and go to the outskirts of the city to rest. We only have to stay for three days."

"In the past, we used gunfire to bombard the city tower and castle. In three days, no matter whether we could receive the money, we would withdraw our troops and return to the ship, set off for Spain, and stop fighting."
