Chapter 79 Surrounding Wei and Rescue Zhao

What Li Peijun never expected was that Honfleur, who was originally the easiest to succeed, has now become the most difficult thorn.

According to the continuous reports from the front, the vanguard of Werther's coalition forces exchanged fire with the enemy in the market, and then the armies of both sides opened up in the city and started street fighting.

Unexpectedly, Kovic happened to be stationed in the city with a large force, as if to impress those stubborn old men, and Werther just hit the muzzle of the gun.

Although the situation has changed, Li Peijun is also happy to see that the nobles on both sides are fighting in the city, and the battle on his side has ended, and they will join the battle when they have almost exhausted their morale and physical strength.

Li Peijun was not in a hurry at all. The original lord's master showed incomparable loyalty after disarming and surrendering, and followed his footsteps closely like a slave.

The mercenaries and the noble knights who surrendered have been reorganized and reorganized, but the news that came back from the front shows that the battle is still raging in the city. It is estimated that it will not be possible to distinguish the pros and cons for a while, and it is not good for me to wait here Method.

An idea was brewing in Li Peijun's mind, that he should take advantage of the opportunity when the main force of the enemy army in the city was restrained, and go straight to Huanglongduan to Kovic's base camp.

Although driving from here to the Kovic territory theoretically needs to pass through Honfleur, Li Peijun planned a small road to bypass Honfleur and go straight to the rear based on the topographic map provided by the surrendered lord.

"Assemble everyone and move forward quickly."

Li Peijun rode Juechen and charged forward, and the army behind followed one by one in a row of four.

"Use skills and march quickly."

A whirlwind condensed on the iron hoof, and the whole body seemed to be able to float lightly.

Riding the wind and moving against the wind.

Because of the sufficient repair this time and the improvement of attributes, the duration of the rapid march has been increased to 5 minutes. Vichi's base camp moved in.

Inside Honfleur
Conte was the commander of the front-line troops. He led the vanguard into the city at the very beginning. He encountered very little resistance at first, and Conte rushed into the city smoothly like a broken bamboo.

Then near the market, Conte ran into a tax collector who happened to be collecting taxes in the city. Looking at the carts of supplies and heavy silver coins, Conte's robber nature was revealed, and he directly led his troops to loot.

Abandoning the original plan, Conte's front troops did not attack the guards in the city, and got entangled with the collection team of tax officers and soldiers, wasting a lot of time.

At this moment, Kovic's large army was also stationed in the city. When Witte led the main force to attack, the two sides happened to collide.

Conte, who came late, rushed to meet up with a full load of supplies and silver coins. He thought that Witte's side was already done, but he didn't expect to encounter big trouble.

The original garrison in the city was not cleaned up in time, and it joined the battlefield when the Werther coalition forces confronted each other, almost besieging the Werther allied forces in the city. Sporadic fighting broke out.

"Conte, I really don't know what to say about you."

Werther had just finished killing a soldier and pulled out the sword inserted in it.

"You should really go to hell with the money. You're so powerful and dragging your baggage cart around."

Conte, the bastard, dragged a convoy of supplies, which slowed down the overall movement speed, and Witt had to cover from time to time.

"These are all useful things. What if they fall into the hands of the enemy." Conte disagreed and still dragged them back in an orderly manner.

During the fierce battle, Werther didn't know what was going on outside, and now he didn't even dare to distract his eyes, so he had to pray that Li Peijun would bring good news from outside, otherwise he would really be dumped.

Under Witte's beautiful vision, if Li Peijun had successfully ended the outer battle, he would definitely rush into Honfleur as soon as possible after learning about the situation inside the city, and work with his coalition forces to annihilate Kovich's troops in one go.

After all, there is a covenant, a community of interests, and the same enemy.

This sliver of faith supported Werther to fight the enemy bravely, waiting for news of reinforcements.

On the other hand, the surprise attack army led by Li Peijun has stepped into Kovic's territory.

After replenishing the source of troops in the territory, the number of Li Peijun's army expanded to 300 people. Although it was not as good as the previous 350 troops, there were dozens of professionally trained knights in the phalanx this time, and the weapons and equipment were also improved. Not the same.

It was another loud and loud s~ba~da!The men and horses looming over the city swooped down the slope.

Medieval manors are mostly similar, with a large area of ​​farmland surrounding the manor, densely packed residential houses inward, and churches and noble residences located in the innermost center.

At this time, there is no wave of building castle fortresses, so apart from the necessary dangerous passes or the territories of the great nobles, most noble residences are just more exquisite decorations on the outside.

Kovic's fief seems to be much larger than other nobles'. To be more precise, Kovic's fief has more plain farmland and has greater production potential. Unfortunately, it is an enclave, so it is not so convenient to manage .

Encountered a lot of resistance along the way, and the army advanced slowly all the way, which was unexpected by Li Peijun. He should have thought that most of the peasants and nobles in the Middle Ages were just passive and passive and accustomed to the frequent changes of feudal lords. Helping farmers seems to regard them as invaders.

There has never been a just war, and victory is justice. Looking at these empty-blooded but unarmed farmers, Li Peijun didn't even think about it, and resolutely implemented the iron law of shooting or killing resisters.

Flesh bodies fell down one after another, and a passable opening was created in the piled human wall. The shadow of death shrouded the hearts of the surviving resisters. Some of them began to waver in their beliefs, and some unconsciously began to retreat.

With the fall of the last rebel, the battle outside the fief has come to an end.

The intensity of the battle surpassed the previous assault encounters. The 300-man army killed 37 people and injured 78 people. The entire team was reduced by nearly 1/3 at once.

The population of the fief also dropped by more than half. Those who survived must be hostile to themselves, the invaders, and the future follow-up rule is also a thorny issue.

The rest of the army marched into the church and successfully occupied almost all the residences of the nobles without encountering any resistance.

Whenever Li Peijun recalled the moment when he kicked open the door, the scene was really ridiculous.

The nobleman who was eating ham sausage gracefully and calmly on the dining table looked at me. When the other person saw me, there was no panic in his eyes. He just threw the weapon aside casually, and then carefully wiped the oil stains on his mouth. He raised his hands in surrender obediently.

Afterwards, Li Peijun learned from the nobles who surrendered and the priest that the nobleman Kovic has been working hard to open up wasteland to develop production. Unlike other nobles who like to squeeze and exploit, he gave the villagers a lot of tax incentives, which is why they are so Many farmers are willing to work for him.

Under such propaganda, the ignorant farmers are naturally devoted to him, and Li Peijun is too embarrassed to laugh at this trick of buying people's hearts, because he is such a person himself.
