European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 145 Forged Letter

Turuk, far away in Caen, did not feel a little bit relieved. The overloaded financial pressure has always been a constraint on expanding the size of the army. Given the current severe economic situation, if the war drags on for half a month, it will not be easy. Caen would be a devastating blow.

There is only one way before Turuk, and that is to make a quick decision, beat Harfleur to the ground in one go, and then sign an armistice agreement as a winner.

"My lord, I have a letter from you." The hurried servant knocked on the door, it seemed that it was an urgent matter.

Turuk relaxed and stretched his thoughts, suppressed the restlessness in his heart and said, "Is it a letter from Carnapwell? That guy Nathan?"

The servant didn't dare to speak, but nodded resignedly.

Turuk let out a long sigh of relief. Now is the critical time. He only hoped that the frontline commander he appointed would not make any mistakes, otherwise his internal and external situation would be in jeopardy.

"Bring it, let me see."

After receiving the letter from the servant, Turuk opened it in surprise and fear. He only glanced at it twice and then laughed openly.

"Sir Nathan, you have done a great job and I treat you well. Now is the time for you to make a great contribution."

The servant had never seen the earl laugh so heartily in recent times, so he asked a few more questions out of curiosity, "My Lord earl, could it be that the knight is killing the enemy on the front line?"

Turuk couldn't help but be delighted, nodded and said: "Not only that, Harfleur's frontline troops are about to collapse at the first touch, our frontline troops have already penetrated deep into the hinterland, I believe they will be invincible soon, it seems that victory is in sight."

The joy was fleeting, and the experienced Turuk quickly calmed down and carefully analyzed the current situation. "The letter also said that the enemy's resistance was very tenacious and the troops suffered a lot of losses during the advance, and ordered the follow-up troops to Quickly support Canapville, we will completely tear the enemy apart along this point."

"When Harfleur is defeated, I think Caen's internal opposition will also be contained. I just took this opportunity to eliminate some disobedient nobles." Turuk was already planning to build the order after the war, trying to strengthen Consolidate your real power.

After seeing the end of the letter, Turuk suddenly became furious. He crumpled the parchment into a ball and threw it in the corner. He cursed loudly: "You Kongske, I've turned against you. Don't think that I'm afraid of those little tricks you did." I don’t know, when this matter is over, killing you won’t be as easy as trampling an ant to death.”

Seeing this, the servant didn't dare to ask any more questions, but just stood there timidly and trembling.

"Help me prepare weapons and armor, and assemble all the follow-up troops. This time I will pursue the victory and take down Hafleur in one go, and then I will cut this guy who stabbed my spine in the back into pieces."

"Yes... yes." The servant bit his lip and replied, and staggered out of the room again.

On the other hand, after the victory in the first battle, Canapville was not dazzled by the victory. On the contrary, he became more prepared. To adapt to high-intensity weight-bearing exercises, the rest are also training throwing spears in an orderly manner.

"Is there any news in Caen?" Li Peijun sat cross-legged on an oak chair and listened carefully to the information sent back by the Chamber of Commerce's messenger. In later generations, he knew the importance of information work, so he also paid special attention to it in his attitude.

The messenger bowed respectfully, and replied: "As you expected, Turuk has stepped up the call-up of personnel, and I believe that the second batch of troops will arrive here tomorrow."

The same trick did not work the second time. In order to attract the main force of the enemy to the designated location, Li Peijun specially described the logistical difficulties encountered in the forged letter, and begged the earl to help as soon as possible, so as not to delay the battle. , the purpose of which was to bring reinforcements from the enemy to Carnapville.

After learning about the conflicts among the internal factions in Caen, Li Peijun naturally did not let go of this golden opportunity.In the letter, it highlighted the lack of cooperation of Consk's subordinates to Nathan's actions, which caused a greater rift in the earl's heart.

Li Peijun couldn't even imagine how it would be possible to defeat the Harfleur army who had not even dealt with the internal disputes.

I originally wanted to put an iron-fisted diplomacy buff on the letterhead, but unfortunately the system judged that Nathan was not in his own camp, so he couldn't use the skill effect, but it didn't affect the final result at all.

Li Peijun smiled relievedly, tilted his head and said in agreement: "You've done a good job, step back."

Right now, as long as he plays steadily and steadily, he has a great chance of winning the decisive battle. Maybe he can also take this opportunity to expand his consular district in the direction of Caen City, and turn the Touk River from the border demarcation line into an inland river in his consular district.

While he was still dreaming, the three Bernards came in to report on their work. "My lord, some soldiers have reported that the knight's sword is not suitable for their hands, and they hope to return to the original spear."

"The Orion team in the Tuke River jungle is ready, and the layout of the traps has also been marked. You can see if there is anything that needs to be added." Cohen presented the distribution map provided by the Orion, and stood upright again. with.

Tiddell also said solemnly: "The sailor in charge of the upstream river network reported that there are not enough manpower, and there are surplus manpower that I hope can be sent over."

The things at hand piled up again, and Li Peijun had to deal with them one by one in order of importance.

"How much manpower is needed on the upstream side? Today's rotation on duty can be assigned to more people. Those standing troops wearing armor just take this opportunity as a weight-bearing training."

He took Cohen's distribution map again and compared it with the original terrain map to figure it out, "Well... the scope here needs to be expanded a little. The opening of the encirclement is still a bit small, but I'm afraid that many fish will slip through the net. , there is still a lot of time now, the stall can be bigger."

After taking the quill, Li Peijun drew a larger area on the original basis, "Well, it should be this big, and the density can be appropriately reduced according to the progress of the work. If there are not enough materials and personnel, please report to me at any time. .”

"Yes, I understand." Cohen and Tiddle replied at the same time.

As for Bernard's question, it's not an important matter. Naturally, such things as weapons can be used to their fullest effect. Otherwise, even if they are given a dragon-slaying sword, they can't beat black hard bread in a fight.

"Those who are not used to knight swords can use their long spears. The idle knight swords can be tried in turn. Whoever is suitable can put it in the hand. Also, let's see who else in the army can draw a bow. I think There are still too few archers relying solely on the Orion group, and it needs to be expanded."

Bernard nodded in agreement, "Understood, I'll do it right away."

Li Peijun encouraged everyone, "Tomorrow's battle will be a life-or-death battle for Harfleur. We can only win, not lose. Although the enemy suffered heavy losses in the first battle, they still have the advantage. We must not take it lightly."

The crowd shouted loudly: "Defend Harfleur to the death."
