Chapter 99 Calling the New Army
Everything was taken for granted. When the feudal knights led by Sir Frank attacked the rear of the infantry formation of the Kingdom of Ramirez, the already shaken soldiers of Ramirez collapsed instantly, like an ant nest washed by rain. Crash thousands of miles.

The fastest runners were the Ramirez cavalry who had hit the nails several times in this battle. , they were directly trapped in it and forced to draw their swords in close combat. In horse battles, they were still unable to fight against feudal knights, but when facing feudal knights on foot, they were even more unbearable and suffered heavy losses.

King Oweko, who died under the cavalry spears charged by the feudal knights, would never have imagined that the cavalry he had placed high hopes on were so unbearable.

After defeating the Ramirez infantry, Richard let go of the constraints on his soldiers and allowed them to leave the formation to chase down the rout. The soldiers who got permission cheered and chased the screaming and fleeing enemy, deciding the victory of this battle. The same is true of the cavalry. They did not kill the enemy with their long swords, but pulled out the scattered spears on the ground and knocked the back of the rout soldier's head with the spear shaft, knocking him unconscious, and at the same time shouted loudly, ordering the enemy to surrender-they did not It will kill the killer, because the captured Ramirez soldiers are more valuable than the dead Ramirez soldiers.

While the soldiers were chasing the rout, Richard rode his horse to Leuwen City with his generals and guards. The stone wall of Leuven City, which had been besieged for more than half a month, was almost covered in blood. The scarlet blood seemed to have merged with the city wall. , extremely frightening.Outside the city wall, the siege equipment used by the Ramirez people to attack the city is still placed in the open space, and traces of coagulated blood and gunpowder smoke can still be seen on it.

Under Richard's gaze, the gate of Leuwen City slowly opened, and then a group of knights ran out on horseback, and soon came to Richard, headed by the highest official of Leuven City, Governor Maximilian. Mandorf.

"Your Majesty Caesar!" Coming to Richard, Maximilian got off his horse, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully: "Please allow me to congratulate you first, the imperial army defeated the enemy under your leadership , won a great victory."

"This will be just one of the great victories under my leadership." Richard was full of pride and smiled as he helped Maximilian up. He found that the handsome and mature governor had become haggard at the moment, almost bloodshot. covered his eyes.

But Maximilian didn't seem to notice it at all, he stood up following Richard's movements, and said: "Your Majesty, Sorenbo in the south and Mumbai in the north have fallen back under the control of the Ramirez people. Maybe we can take advantage of this time to bring the eastern part of Ravana Kingdom under control."

"This……"

Richard was a little moved. After including the three cities of Luwen City into his sphere of influence, his strength will increase greatly, and his chances of winning the counterattack against the Winster Kingdom will also become greater.

However, I am afraid that even if he regained the two fallen counties, King Lawrence would not grant them to Richard, but any smarter king would not let a vassal who claimed by another country control the three counties in the east of the country. country, and Richard, who owns these three counties, is tantamount to controlling a duchy, although the duchy has not been created.

After thinking about it, Richard still made up his mind. The newly defeated Ramirez people not only lost the main force accumulated over the past four years, but also lost their king. This is the time when the Ramirez people are at their weakest. , It was also the time when Richard established his illustrious military exploits-as long as he could lead his army to conquer the Ramirez people, I believe that King Lawrence would not have the guts to refuse Richard's request for title when he returned with a great victory.

"My dear Maximilian, my goal is not just the small cities of Soronborg and Mumba." Richard, who wanted to understand, continued to smile and said all his thoughts: "Now is the time. This is when the people of Ramirez are at their weakest, even weaker than they were four years ago. Four years ago, my grandfather, King Halous, mercifully spared them, but in the end they still chose to raise their butcher's knives against us. Now, at the moment, This is the best time to conquer them, and I will lead the imperial army to conquer this small kingdom!"

"Your Majesty, as you wish, I will do my best in this war and win victory with you!"

"No, my dear Maximilian." Facing Maximilian's sincere words, Richard shook his head with a smile, and said, "I need you to prepare supplies and recruit soldiers in Leuwen City, and do a good job for the expeditionary force." back end job."

"Obey, Your Majesty Caesar." Although he failed to fight with Richard on the front line, Maximilian was not discouraged. After serving as the governor for four years, he knew the importance of logistics work. If the logistics work is not done well, the supplies will be lost. Your army could get lost and starve among the hills of the kingdom of Ramirez.

……

A few days later, under the watchful eyes of Governor Maximilian and the defenders, the Royal Army slowly left the camp established outside the city and headed north to the city of Mengba. Before leaving, they captured nearly a thousand soldiers. Ramirez's prisoners of war were all handed over to Governor Maximilian. As the price of defeat, these prisoners of war will do dirty work during their long captivity.

Before setting off, Richard used the system to use the chances of Danish units that had not been summoned over the past four years. There were a total of 24 summoning opportunities (almost once every two months). To be on the safe side, Richard only used one of them. 12 times, won 48 Danish arms.

"Three teams of Nordic swordsmen, five teams of sword and spear militiamen, three teams of Nordic tomahawk cavalry on foot, one team of Nordic axemen, three teams of Nordic archers, two teams of crossbowmen, four teams of scout cavalry, three teams of Nordic tomahawk cavalry... ..." Looking at the soldiers he got, Richard was relieved, it seems that after the era enters the middle period (four years is enough for Richard to enter the middle period), such arms as peasants and town militias will not appear It is within the drawing range, so the soldiers Richard obtained are all Danish main combat units with sufficient combat effectiveness.

These soldiers add up to a total of 1930 people. Although the number is not large, they are also a force that cannot be underestimated. However, what makes Richard want to vomit blood is that these soldiers can only appear on Cuban Island, and then pass the regular march Came here to join Richard.

What's the use?When they are needed, they are far away on Cuban Island. After they arrive, perhaps Richard has already conquered most of the Ramirez kingdom, or he was defeated by the Jedi counterattack of the Ramirez people, and he was disheartened. fled back to Luwen City.

In any case, this wave of restrictions in the system still made Richard very depressed.
