People in the Middle Ages, draw cards to get promoted

Chapter 304
The two discussed for a long time, but ended with Lothar's concession.

Rang Na always believed that if she wanted to defend Qingshui County, she would have to deploy defenders on every section of the city wall, and the combat effectiveness of those Song people was very suspicious.

The enemy can easily tear open a hole in the weak defense and rush in.

It's better to go out of the city to fight (no).

Win the young model in the clubhouse, lose and start all over again.

Full of Rangna's consistent leadership style, she is keen on taking risks, just like a player who is used to showing off. It is too difficult for her to play Galen, a hero like a stone man.

"Ok."

If the debate continues, there will be no result. It is better to make a decision earlier, so that the charter can be set in advance.

Jeanna said confidently: "Since you agreed, I must inform you Marquis Lothar that you have been dismissed from the military. Next, please don't express any opinions on military affairs."

Lothar could only be speechless for a while.

Jill with a rough beard walked out of the mansion with Lothar.

He is one of Jeanne's twelve guardian knights—Gill de Rais, a marshal during the Hundred Years' War, and also the captain of Lothar's guard when he was Charles VII.

In the world view of the giant ship yesterday, after Jeanna came back to life, he continued to follow Jeanna and became a paladin against dark wizards and evil dark creatures.

But in Lothar's previous life, naturally nothing came back from the dead.

Joan of Arc was declared a "witch" and burned after her death.

His faith collapsed and he became disheartened. He soon resigned from the military and returned to the territory. Later, he was lured by a wandering wizard and devoted himself to the study of black witchcraft and alchemy.

In the end, in the castle in his territory, the remains of countless children and teenagers were found. It is said that he tried to study the black witchcraft of resurrection from the dead, and wanted to trade with the devil in exchange for the rebirth of Joan of Arc.

He was promptly tried, convicted, and executed.

His image has also evolved over time, gradually becoming a terrifying cloud hovering over the European continent, just like Bloody Mary and Count Dracula.

Lothar patted Jill on the shoulder: "You don't need to call me Your Majesty, and I'm not the real King Charlie, but I have to say, I'm still very happy to see you again."

Jill's blue eyes were full of reverence: "Your Majesty, no matter what, it is my honor to fight side by side with you again. Also, can you tell Jeanne to let us come out often to get some air?"

Lothar rubbed the center of her brows, and said with some distress: "Jeanna is also kind. You have all slept in the epic river for a long time. It's not that she doesn't want to let you breathe, but she just doesn't want to wake you up easily."

For Jeanna, the strength of the guardian knights is mediocre, and it takes a lot of mental energy to maintain their existence. Unless it is for fishing, Jeanna would rather go into battle in person.

Jill couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, you still like to excuse Jeanne so much, what kind of person is she, don't we old guys still not know?"

Lothar said with some embarrassment: "Okay, I understand, I will remind Jeanna from time to time, next, go and perform your duties, my most trusted marshal."

Jill gave a salute with a smile, turned and left.

Next, he was going to coordinate all the military affairs in the camp. Those were trivial matters, but they definitely couldn't be ignored.

Lothar rode his mount on the rammed earth road in Qingshui County.

He carefully looked at the blacksmith in the blacksmith's shop, who was shirtless and swung his hammer over and over again to hit the red-hot iron bars. The blacksmith's apprentice also looked at him in amazement.

Outside the blacksmith's shop, several archers from Qingshui County were sitting cross-legged, sewing iron armor leaves on their armor.

It is said that in Tokyo's arsenal, such iron armor leaves are piled up into mountains, and new ones are put into storage every year.

Those golden men are now cheaper.

The so-called strong stems and weak branches, the Great Song Dynasty, which has absorbed the lessons of the previous dynasty, once Tokyo fell, those "branches and leaves" were really pitifully weak.

Lothar stopped for a moment, seeing that his attire and his "hu man" appearance were too eye-catching, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and left with his horse's belly lightly.

Along the way.

There is both kindness and strangeness in Lothar's heart.

He has also seen such an antique town in movies and TV dramas.

But the scrutiny of the people here tells him that he does not belong here.

He is Lothar of the Habsburg family, Marquis of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, general of the Eastern Empire, and a barbarian in the eyes of Orientals. In the future, even if the iron hooves of the Tatars go south and ravage everything, Lothar will not be able to save him.

This Great Song Dynasty is not that Great Song Dynasty.

Lothar warned himself in his heart that this is just a historical projection intercepted in the combat records, and he can't change anything, even if he wins the Golden Wushu.

At this time.

A fast horse rushed into the city.

That was under Lothar, the scout among the newly formed light cavalry, the cavalry behind the fast horse, had already been hit by several arrows, saw that Lothar only had time to shout: "The enemy is coming", and spit blood from the mouth Slip on horseback.

Lothar looked slightly cold, and strode towards the city wall.

While walking, he notified the soldiers of his side who met on the road and ordered them to pass the news to Jeanna immediately.

It is impossible for an army to have two brains. He has completely delegated power now, only as a soldier, obeying all orders from Jeanna.

But if it turns out that Jeanna's idea of ​​going out of the city to fight does not work, next time, it will be Lothar who will be the commander.

He walked quickly to the city wall. At this time, the city gate was closed tightly, and the only two giant crossbows on the city wall were properly placed.

This kind of equipment modified by the demons of the other world has a strange pattern engraved on the crossbow. It is said that a Taoist real person once engraved it on it. The crossbow is like a spear, and it can shoot up to [-] steps.

It's a pity that the number is too small. The Song Dynasty was weak, and the weak ones were never weapons.

"County lieutenant, the enemy is coming."

"General Ha, do you have a countermeasure?"

The county lieutenant's face was gloomy. The scout came in through his city gate. Even if he couldn't speak the language, the scout's injuries couldn't have been caused by himself.

Lothar shook his head and said, "General Da is in charge of military affairs."

"General Da has a plan?"

Lothar shook his head and said, "I'm just a big soldier now, so I don't know what General Da's strategy is. However, County Lieutenant, we are now grasshoppers tied to a rope, so don't worry about us not doing our best."

The county lieutenant looked sad, but he wasn't worried at all.

He was just worried that even if Lothar and his gang tried their best, they would not be able to change the overall situation.

Lothar ignored the county lieutenant, put his hands on the battlements, and looked far away, the smoke and dust billowed in the distance, the frightened birds burst out, and the sound of iron hooves thundered like thunder. This was a sign of the arrival of large-scale cavalry.

The whole of Qingshui County soon realized that the enemy was coming. The defenders at the top of the city were all pale, and many people's legs were trembling. They leaned on the battlements and tried to stand.

Soon.

On a slope not far from the city, he saw a huge black and red military flag, with a huge golden sun painted in the center. This is the military flag used by the Jinren.

Dozens of Iron Buddha cavalry, surrounded by a general of the Kingdom of Jin, seemed to be looking at Lothar, or just looking at the tower.

The densely packed cavalry, like the ocean, could not see the edge at all.

Even kidnapped horses are all wearing half armor and iron helmets.

A cavalryman broke away from the army formation and ran towards the city wall without fear.

"People of Qingshui County, open the city and surrender quickly, otherwise the army will break through your city and not leave a blade of grass!"

Lothar looked at the county lieutenant. The county lieutenant gritted his teeth, raised a crossbow with a magic arm on the side, and aimed at the cavalryman.

The cavalryman's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "If the two armies are fighting, if you dare to hurt me, our army will crush your Qingshui County!"

boom--

Arrows pierced through the body of the cavalry.

The county lieutenant cursed and said: "You son of a thief, if you don't open the city and surrender, you won't leave a blade of grass. If you kill him, you won't leave a blade of grass. It's better to kill this thief to relieve his anger."

Lothar was slightly taken aback, showing a hint of a smile.

He carefully looked at the army formation on the opposite side. The armor rate of Jin Kingdom iron cavalry is extremely high, and he doesn't know whether it was from the Khitan Liao Dynasty or the craftsmen of the Song Dynasty were high enough, or the arsenal of Tokyo City was full of armor leaves. Thousands of enemy troops, everyone wears armor, even the mount of the kidnapper horse, which is used as a light cavalry, has a pair of half-length armor in front, which can resist the arrows shot from the front.

The county lieutenant began to boost the morale of the defenders, stood in a conspicuous place on the gate tower, and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Everyone has also heard that this golden dog is cruel. As long as it breaks the city, I will wait for no one to stay. If you fight, you will die. If you don't fight, you will die. It is better to hold back before dying."

"This golden dog is also a human being with two arms and two legs. It was also killed by General Ha's subordinates. If they can do it, so can we!"

The faces of the Xiang troops were ashen, and the entire army of the Song Dynasty was now "turning golden". How can a few words of blood be able to boost morale.

As the county lieutenant spoke, he still couldn't help feeling discouraged: "Which brother dies in battle first, go down and take a seat in advance with Lao Tzu Yama, and after a while, the big guy will definitely go down to accompany you!"

The opponent was the elite who had defeated the elite Western Army, but their own side was mostly a group of Xiang troops and archers. From the very beginning of this battle, the county lieutenant couldn't get the slightest bit of confidence to win.

The Xiang soldiers under him are naturally not stupid.

It is said that people at the bottom are easy to deceive, but these veterans are not so easy to be deceived. At this time, any rewards or titles are all false and fake.

It's better to be honest.

At this time.

Liu Bowu, who assisted in the defense of the city, and a kind of militiamen also climbed to the top of the city one after another. Seeing the military might on the opposite side, each one was fighting.

Liu Bowu was shocked: "Is this the golden dog's cavalry?"

He also claimed to have read a few military books, but when he saw the scene of Jin Guo cavalry densely packed with soldiers approaching the city, he only had the feeling that the sky was falling.
