King’s Kingdom

The casualties of the Northern Empire have surged, and the morale of the soldiers has also become more and more low. Everyone is looking forward to the end of such a day. Even if they can't go home in a short time, if they can stay in place for a while and have a good rest, it is also excellent.

Such a tired march has made their nerves tense.

After two days, with the encouragement of Tambadri, the marching speed of the Northern Empire army was a little faster, reaching a point of more than ten kilometers per day. At this point, they have discovered that the main force of the Lanyin Kingdom is the only one. Stationed in Fort Andonia.

This made Tambadri worry. If the enemy was stationed in the city, it would be difficult to force them to fight with him.

Even if it is impossible to get all the soldiers to settle in the castle, as long as they stick to the camp, simply relying on the refusal of horses and the fence can make the Northern Empire dare not attack.

It would be better if you choose to camp here instead of attacking. Both sides have the protection of the camp. Either side will give up its advantage when attacking and instead attack the other's defensive advantage. The enemy's archers and the camp fence will make them suffer. .

This is the consideration of Theodosius. Since both sides have such difficulties, it depends on whose situation is more difficult.

Although the Lanyin Kingdom has a lot of troops, the supply line opened is not long, it is not very laborious to transport, and the consumption on the road is not large. Moreover, the food reserves of the Lanyin Kingdom are much more abundant than those of the Northern Empire. Consuming it at this rate and continuing for another whole year will not have any effect on the Lanyin Kingdom.

Because the next round of harvest season is coming soon, with the arrival of immigrants from other places, the agricultural output of the Rhine Kingdom is getting higher and higher. Since last year, more than 100,000 immigrants have entered the Rhine Kingdom one after another. Some are allotted land and seeds before spring ploughing.

For these ordinary civilians, Theodosius did not have too high requirements for the time being. They did not convert to the Church of God of War, reform their minds, and be loyal to the Kingdom of Lanine. Instead, they simply divided the land and let them Just farming.

In the final analysis, the greatest value of the peasants in the age of cold weapons is actually paying taxes. They are not like people in the industrial revolution and nationalism era, who must accept all kinds of brainwashing.

Although it is necessary to convert to the Church of God of War in the Lanyin Kingdom, and it is best to change their thinking, defeating this cannot be achieved in a short time. It took nearly three years for the southern twelve counties to be included in the Lanyin Kingdom. The spirit of the Lanyin people is still not comparable to that of Beiqi County. It will take at least five or six years before they can be truly assimilated.

That's it, it's still in the north, and the proportion of people who believe in the **** of war is relatively high. If you move to a place further south, there are slightly fewer people who believe in the **** of war, and it will be more difficult to change your mind.

Not to mention the sense of honor and loyalty, especially the sense of honor. I haven’t eaten enough for more than ten years and forget what it’s like to be hungry. Then I can read some books or hear heroic stories, and have a good social atmosphere. Don't even think about it, in other regions, the sense of honor is exclusive to the noble knight class.

Being able to pay taxes is actually the biggest contribution these immigrants have made to this country. In fact, each of them can only do this. As for military service, they are not suitable for the time being.

Neither the regular army nor the linked army is very suitable. They immigrated from all over the world, and they had no property at all after the long journey. Borrowed from Theodosius' warehouse.

Yes, it was borrowed. Although Theodosius prided himself on being kind, and these immigrants were brought over by him, it is not his style to simply do charity and provide welfare.

In other words, in this era, under this social background, it is extremely stupid to give benefits without asking for anything in return, and it will not play a role in consolidating the kingship at all.

Of course you can get love by donating food, but it also makes people lose their fear. It is not enough for a king to only love and love. Only fear can make his subjects dare not resist.

Moreover, Theodosius also distributed land to them. Land is a scarce and scarce thing no matter where it is. If these immigrants could have so much land in their hometown, they would not have become refugees and then come to Lanzhou. Yin Kingdom, this is already a great favor, so what if you want to pay back what you ate and drank?

Therefore, in everyone's eyes, the repayment of the king is justified.

The gap between the Northern Empire army and the Lanyin army in terms of logistical supplies has widened. Theodosius can spend time with them at will, but the Northern Empire cannot. They can support more than two grains at most. The time of the month seems to be a lot, but in fact it is already quite dangerous.

After all, whether it is victory or defeat, as long as there is still an army, you have to go back, and you need to eat food on the way back, and you need to reserve the food and grass needed for the return journey, which means that the remaining food and grass are also Just enough for a month.

After determining the location of the enemy army and bombing the camp under constant harassment, the soldiers of the Northern Empire finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now they don't need to continue to be tense anymore and are always on the lookout for the enemy's sneak attack. .

Although Tambadri knew that the war was not optimistic, it was still a lot easier without the harassment of the enemy~www.readwn.com~ After the discussion on the reward, the decision of the war had been decided. It was very simple. Send the gauntlet to the other party, and then the two sides will make a good fight to decide whether to win or lose.

Anyway, this Fort Andonia is located in the plain, and the surrounding area is flat land within a few dozen kilometers, which is very suitable for large-scale army build-up operations.

So after consulting with the noble vassals once, Tambadri sent a written war book to the city of Fort Andonia.

Carrying the white flag, the messenger came outside the Lanyin military camp. It has to be said that he still had some courage. Even when facing hundreds of bows aimed at him, he managed to keep his face straight, which was really admirable.

"It's here to send the war book, just give it to us!" Several patrolling grassland hussars ran over and said.

Unexpectedly, the messenger really said proudly: "I am the messenger of the Hilkadi Empire, I have come to meet the King of Lanyin in the north, and I will hand in the letter of war sent by His Majesty the Emperor of our country to the King of Lanyin!"

"This kind of important task is entrusted by His Majesty the Emperor. I dare not neglect it. I need to meet the King of Lanyin in person and give him this war book!"
