Chapter 161 Sharp turn down(1/2)
The cooperation between the Eternal Night Legion and Angie Beina is comprehensive. The trade routes that were originally affected by the Slave Rebel Army will be reopened as the relationship between the Eternal Night Legion and the Slave Rebel Army is reconciled.
At that time, Angie Beina will be the new spokesperson of the Eternal Night Army in the Manyu Army. The real gold, silver and antiques collected from the slave rebel army, which previously seemed of little use, will also pass through Angie Beina's possession.
Hand, cash it into something useful to the Eternal Night Legion.
Only when currency is in circulation can it realize its value to the greatest extent.
Even if Sean is not an economics student, he understands this truth.
Those noble lords deposited all the wealth they collected into their own secret treasury.
In Sean's opinion, this is the most stupid behavior. They are not melon seeds. Plant them in spring and a bunch of melons will grow in autumn.
Most wealth depreciates the more you put it away. Just being able to make money is not enough. You also need to be able to spend money and spend it where it should be spent, in order to create more wealth.
The Eternal Night Army has done very well at this point. It makes money very quickly and spends money even faster. It seems that it is always short of money.
However, what the high investment has brought back is the rapid development of the Evernight Legion and the increasingly perfect infrastructure work, which proves that the money is not wasted. In many places, even Solo City, which has been run by the Feren family for a hundred years, is ashamed of itself.
A complete chain of interests has been formed between the Slave Rebel Army, the Eternal Night Army and Countess Angie Beina.
Some transactions between Angie Beina and the slave rebel army that were inconvenient were completed in a single move by the Eternal Night Army.
No one can accuse Angie Beina of having liaison with bandits. After all, she did not have any dealings with the slave rebels.
As for the Eternal Night Legion, many lords and nobles have secretly had affairs with it, so naturally they have no position to jump out and accuse them. Who makes the Eternal Night Legion hold many good things in its hands.
If you offend them, it would be bad if you don't sell to yourself. This will cause your opponents to distance themselves from you.
It has long been a common problem for nobles and nobles to evaluate issues from the perspective of their own interests.
Angie Beina and Ms. Karin came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
After all, the relationship between Ms. Karin and Darnell has not been able to progress to the next level. They are still respectful to each other, one step closer than friends, but one step back than lovers.
Ms. Elena and Angie Beina, two women, one older and one younger, no matter how much they add fuel to the flames and create opportunities behind the scenes, it still doesn't help.
After all, both of them are at the pinnacle of power and subconsciously avoid all kinds of accidents. In addition, they both know to a certain extent that their matchmaking careers are over before they even begin.
Perhaps this kind of ordinary time together is a rare happiness for them.
Ms. Karin, on the other hand, was just satisfied that Darnell was no longer escaping blindly and knew where he would end up. If their relationship took a further step, she would be frightened.
Emotional problems are never one-sided, and the reason for their current situation is not one-sided.
The reason why the two ladies left in such a hurry was naturally because there was a change in the leadership of Man Yu.
Under the unswerving promotion of Cardinal St. George, Patram and his half-brother Viscount Philip, although they did not sit at the negotiating table, reached a consensus on the issue of the slave rebel army, and both parties gathered elites.
The troops began to press forward step by step, compressing the slave rebel army's activity space and forcing the slave rebel army to fight them head-on.
Although the slave rebel army now boasts a strength of one hundred thousand, not to mention Philip who has experienced hundreds of battles, even the generals of Patram are not optimistic about their frontal combat capabilities.
The battlefield is not a gladiatorial arena. An excellent soldier who enters the arena may not necessarily be a good gladiator. Likewise, an excellent gladiator who enters the battlefield is not necessarily a good soldier.
Compared with ordinary people, the advantage of gladiators is that they are not prone to stage fright and have good physical fitness and fighting skills.
The disadvantage is that gladiators are usually unruly and disobedient to management. The better the gladiator, the stronger this point. Usually they have a strong desire to perform and have extraordinary confidence in their fighting skills.
It is easy to show off one's courage on the battlefield.
Not only did he get beaten to death, but he also destroyed his team's formation. It was easy for the enemy to take advantage of the situation, tear open the defense line, and allow his friendly troops to be attacked from the side, thus triggering the collapse of the entire line.
Not to mention those slaves. Without three to five years of formal training, they would not be able to do anything important. If they were used as the main force, their reliability would be too great.
At this point, the Eternal Night Army has done a good job.
From its inception to the present, Sean and the senior officials of the Eternal Night Legion have been trying their best to prevent the Eternal Night Legion from fighting a tough battle.
When encountering a tough battle that must be fought, either the Skull Crusher Legion, which has been famous for many years, is used as the vanguard, or the battle is fought at a time and on a battlefield of one's own choosing, maximizing one's own advantages.
The next step is to make full use of the fortifications built by the attached engineering corps, give full play to the advantages of strong long-range attack power, and eliminate the enemy on the road to charge, or rely on the fortifications to fight defensive battles.
Compared with offensive battles and encounter battles, the biggest advantage of defensive battles is that even if the people involved are not a group of qualified soldiers, it is not easy to completely collapse before the fortifications are breached. If they are trained accordingly, their endurance will also be enhanced.
The Eternal Night Legion uses this relatively tricky method to make up for its own shortcomings in lack of training.
However, this method cannot be replicated to a certain extent. The soldiers of the attached engineering corps are indeed not qualified soldiers, but after such a long period of training, they are qualified craftsmen. Take them out individually and put them on the
Any territory belongs to craftsmen who are unique in some aspect.
Their current craftsmanship is not innate. In addition to the Evernight Legion having professionals who study and simplify construction methods, a large number of infrastructure projects allow them to practice their craftsmanship. It is equally important. Practice makes perfect.
This requires a lot of financial resources to support.
The slave rebel army obviously did not have this condition, nor did it have the talents to think about it.
On the plain battlefield, knights, especially large-scale heavily armored knights, are always the unstoppable main force.
The military leader Manyu obviously wanted to use this advantage to crush the slave rebels.
Just when everyone was wondering whether the slave rebels would be forced to go south, the slave rebels hit a beautiful combination of punches.
The slave rebel army got rid of most of their baggage and went into battle lightly. Before Philip and Patram's army formed an encirclement, they appeared in front of the more powerful Philip's army.
Without the slightest hesitation, Philip directly used his trump card - the Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry.
In front of the tall camel knights who were armed to the teeth and weighed in tons, the vanguard of the slave rebel army was as fragile as paper and collapsed.
It was a one-sided massacre, at least in the early stages of that war, until the rain of arrows like locusts fell, and the situation reversed again.
Andis Longbow once again showed its ferocious face.
Even the Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry, known as the elite among the elite, fell in pieces.
It is true that those knights were wearing multiple layers of heavy armor, but their mounts were not as tightly protected as they were. Simple horse armor and their own thick skins were enough to deal with ordinary bows and crossbows, but when they encountered Andis who used armor-piercing arrows
The longbow was clearly out of power.
Golden camels are larger than war horses, making them easier targets for arrows.
The golden camel heavy rider whose mount fell down was a beast without claws, and its combat effectiveness was immediately reduced by two-thirds.
Then the elite slave gladiators of the slave rebel army who were ambushing the side rushed out like a raging tide. They knew that competing with the regular army in military appearance was the most unwise choice, so from the beginning they were not prepared to transform themselves.
Instead of forming an army, they give full play to their greatest advantages and turn the battlefield into countless gladiatorial arenas.
This kind of chaotic fight without coordination is what they are best at. The heavily armored knights without their mounts are being toyed with by the gladiators wearing simple leather armor.
The wide variety of weapons made it difficult for the heavily armored knights to defend themselves. They had never fought such an unconventional battle.
If you're not careful, the pocket will be either a fishing net or a handful of dust. Once trapped, there will be no chance to break free. The gladiators wandering around will swarm up and crush them to death even if they are pressed.
Various destructive methods are emerging in endlessly. These gladiators have no concept of soldiers at all. Any method that can kill the enemy is a good method.
When Philip led the infantry to push forward and push back the gladiator army, nearly one-third of the golden camels and heavy cavalry he relied on most were left on this land forever, and the remaining two-thirds were left on this land forever.
Most of them also lost their mounts.
By this time, even a fool will understand.
This is a trap set by the slave rebel army, a trap specifically targeting the Golden Camel Heavy Rider.
Taking advantage of the asymmetry in information, the slave rebel army used a large number of Andis longbows traded from the Eternal Night Army to bend them severely. Their reputation was at its peak, and they had the vigor of Philip, who was known as the new God of War in the Manyu Army.
Let him not be as unscrupulous as before when he uses the golden camel to ride again in the future.
However, this tactic cannot be used again and again. Once the opponent knows that you have such a weapon in your army, they will make targeted deployments the next time they take action.
Somewhat surprisingly, the commander of this beautiful battle was not Starbuck, who had received a systematic aristocratic education, but Dikron, who had no experience in commanding large-scale battles before this.
According to later rumors, Starbuck was not optimistic about the slave rebel army's counterattack, and the two clashed again on this issue, but this time Dixon was prepared and gathered a group of supporters in advance.
In order to take the overall situation into consideration, Starbuck made concessions, and then he achieved this glorious victory.
Then, out of control, the slave rebel army took advantage of Philip's reorganization of the Golden Camel to remount the cavalry, directly broke through the encirclement of the coalition forces that were not coalition forces, and directly circled behind Patram's army.
Because of the relationship between the two parties, Philip selectively forgot to inform Patram. By the time Patram noticed it, the scouts from both sides had already come into contact, and the slave rebels surged in like a tide.
Came over.
Just as those proud lords and nobles expected, the slave rebel army really had no formation to speak of, and even the peasant militias were stronger than them.
But there are indeed so many of them that it makes one’s scalp numb.
They have all forgotten one thing: when quantity reaches a certain level and forms an absolute advantage, quality issues can be ignored.
The so-called tactics are to cause localized attacks with more and less.
In terms of military strength comparison, the coalition forces of Philip and Patram were not as good as the slave rebels in terms of numbers, but they had an absolute advantage in terms of quality. Overall, their side had the upper hand.
But after all, the two sides are not a true coalition. They are wary of each other, keep distance, and advance in parallel.
The slave rebel army cleverly took advantage of this, first maiming one, and then taking the opportunity to eat another.
The first target is naturally the most powerful and threatening Golden Camel Heavy Cavalry. If this tiger tooth is not pulled out, the so-called roundabout tactics will be a joke.
In the first step, the slave rebel army was very successful, but in the second step, they encountered a minor failure.
Patram's army not only includes his army, but also the Holy See knights from the Holy See of Saint Ether. These Holy See knights who have traveled thousands of miles to come to Manyu's military leader are either fanatic believers who are loyal to the Holy See, or they are
They have a certain degree of confidence in their own military power and want to take the opportunity to show their ambitions and make achievements.
For them, life and death are no more than trivial matters, and victory is their ultimate pursuit.
To be continued...
