rise of empire total war

Chapter 132
"I'm going to find my relatives, do you want to come with me?"

At the gate of Rob Town, Xi Rui, who was dressed in leather armor and held an iron sword, looked resolute, and asked a few friends he had known not long ago with red eyes.

"Before answering this question, I want to ask you, where are you going to find your relatives?" Pierre asked.

"Follow the footsteps of the Royal Army. If they are captured, they must be in the Royal Army's prisoner-of-war camp." Xi Rui said with red eyes.

"What about after we find it? What are we going to do?"

"Sneak in when you can, find where they're being held and escape with them."

"Nonsense, do you think it's so easy to sneak into the camp of the Royal Army?" Pierre scolded, "They are a powerful army that has never been defeated by the Ramirez people. Do you think you are stronger than the Ramirez people?" Is it strong?"

"Then what should we do?" Siri asked unwillingly.

"Going to Cochranburg, or Mafugat, we need to take refuge in the army, otherwise we don't even think about saving our relatives with the strength of a few of us."

"Mafugat...you mean, seek refuge with the Earl?"

Pierre nodded and said, "That's right, if anyone in the entire kingdom can defeat Richard and his army, it's only our Lord Earl."

"However, when the Earl returns, they may have already been poisoned by the Royal Army..."

"Then we will take revenge on the Royal Army!" Pierre grabbed Siri's wrist, stared into his eyes, and said, "In a word, do you want to do it?"

"..." Looking at his friend whom he had known not long ago, Siri felt that he had become strange. The strangeness made him a little scared, but his words also made Siri sober. Recruits who have not experienced military training are simply unable to rescue their relatives from the army.

"Okay, I'll listen to you." After thinking for a long time, Siri finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and agreed, and Pierre, who was holding his wrist, smiled, let go of his hand, and said, "I I knew you would not let me down. I have already thought about it, with your status as a soldier, we can easily be accepted by the earl's army and not be considered as spies of the kingdom's army."

There is one more thing he didn't say, if he didn't like Xi Rui's identity as a Swiss soldier, he wouldn't care about Xi Rui's stupid plan.

After the group made a decision, they took off the leather armors of the dead defenders and put them on for themselves. At the same time, they took their weapons and ran towards the direction of Mafugat.

They didn't know that leaving Cork Territory this time would actually last forever.

……

"Your Majesty, our army has destroyed more than ten villages and four towns in Cork, killed countless civilians (not counted), and captured nearly [-] civilians and soldiers."

Outside Cochrane Castle, listening to the report of his scout cavalry commander Arvid, Richard nodded indifferently, without any sense of guilt for destroying the homes of the residents in Cork with his one order.

"How much food and money did you get?" He asked, looking at the Cork territory map in his hand.

"We have obtained more than 9000 kus (kus: the weight measurement unit of the Vardasia Peninsula) of food, which is enough for our soldiers to survive for two or three months." Arvid said, with a sudden look of excitement on his face, But soon realized that something was wrong, and returned to his calm look, and continued: "In addition, we also robbed, bah, and confiscated silver coins, commodities, and luxury goods with a total value of [-] Morse coins. Items, etc., as long as you want, we can contact merchants to exchange everything except silver coins into coins at any time."

"Good job." Richard smiled, and praised the loyal scout cavalry commander, "You have worked hard these days, and you can get a thousand Morse coins from the spoils of war as your reward. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Upon hearing that there was still a reward, Arvid immediately half-kneeled on the ground happily, his face flushed red. Seeing his appearance, Richard secretly smiled, put away the map, and waved to him he is gone.

The soldiers produced by the system also have the same emotions as normal people. They are also greedy for money and lust. The only difference from the natives of this world is that they are limited to the operation of the system and are infinitely loyal to Richard. No matter what weaknesses others grasp on them, None of them would betray Richard.

Therefore, Richard will also reward these lovely people to meet their preferences. Those who love beauty will reward a graceful slave girl, and those who are greedy for money will reward wealth.

On the premise of having a rich material foundation, Richard likes to do this kind of icing on the cake.

After Arvid left, Richard walked out of the tent, looked at the army that was still building the besieged camp in full swing, and looked up at the castle built on the hill. He had accompanied Harlaus five years ago as a victor The king regained the castle from the Ramirez people, but he didn't expect that today, five years later, he would command the war to regain the castle as the commander of the counter-rebel army.

"Bundak, from the first time we met, I predicted that we would stand on two sides of hostility. It turns out that my prediction is so accurate." Richard whispered softly, his tone, as if Ben Dak stood right in front of him, listening to every word he said.

……

At nightfall, the siege camp around Cochrane Castle has been built. Experienced engineers from the Farnic Kingdom are still directing the prisoners to arrange the materials for building siege equipment tomorrow. Teams of heavily armed sergeants step on the Patrol all over the camp at a neat pace, strictly guarding against any possible sneak attack.

And in the center of the camp, in the commander's tent with the Oriole's tail flower flag hanging high on the top, a debate on how to capture Cochranburg is going on.

"Your Majesty Caesar, Fort Cochrane is built on the top of a hill, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even the siege equipment built by the Farnics is difficult to push up. I don't recommend you to attack it head-on."

It was Condela who spoke, the loyal lieutenant who first followed Richard.

"Yes." Scout cavalry commander Arvid echoed: "After our investigation, there are [-] defenders stationed in Fort Cochrane, don't confuse these defenders with the militias in those towns, they are all against A loyal veteran of Bundak."

"If this was a field battle, our cavalry could easily crush them, but the battlefield is on the city wall..." Halfway through the words, the cavalry commander Sir Frank looked embarrassed and did not continue, but everyone here was a smart man. , can hear his hidden meaning.

After listening to the officers, Richard pointed to the map of the Kingdom of Ravana and the Territory of Cork on the desktop, and said: "As long as Cochraneburg can be conquered, Bundak is like duckweed without roots, and there is no way to get any Support, and in fact, Corkland is now unable to provide any support for Bundak under our ravages."

Everyone laughed slightly.

"Although I haven't received any information yet, I don't know how Bundak's battle in the west is progressing, but this does not prevent us from fighting." Richard said, pointing to the main city of Mafugat, Marti. Daut City: "Our 'cowardly' Earl MacPherson is still huddling in the strong city of Marty Daut, letting Bandak and his army go west. I estimate now that Bandak should have already entered the kingdom. In the capital, it may be confronting the army commanded by the military commander, or it may be besieging the city of Ravana."

"If it's the latter, I have an idea. Let Bundak attack the city of Ravana. If he is defeated, we will undoubtedly cut off his retreat by besieging Fort Cochrane. He can only surrender for two days besides dying in battle. choice. But if he wins and takes control of Ravana..."

"At that time, may I, a nobleman who also has the right to claim the kingdom of Ravana, allow Bhandak to become the new king?"
