King’s Kingdom
Chapter 73: Brigade in Bocheng
Theodosius wanted to bring the rebels' territory into rule immediately, but he had to clear out the remnants of these rebels first. The other party chose to come to the north for a decisive battle with the Rhine army, and their castle did not fall to Dio. Dorsey's hand.
The next thing to do is to gnaw down these castles one by one and clear the last obstacle to rule.
Military operations are boring, but when he thinks that his country will have a population of 1.7 million in the future, Theodosius is full of expectations.
Siege is no longer difficult for him. The rebels gather their forces to fight against him, which means that they will put most of their forces into the frontal battlefield, and there will not be too many defenders in the castle.
This is indeed the case. When the Lanyin army arrived at the first castle among their targets, the defenders and the nobles in the castle immediately chose to surrender wisely after seeing their captured lord.
The guards who came out of the castle were only a mere 100 people, and most of them were peasants and soldiers who were temporarily recruited. The regular army had only a mere seven people, and their equipment was much worse than that of the soldiers who went to the frontal battlefield.
After controlling these captives, the families of the rebel lords in the castle were also controlled by Theodosius. Although they surrendered, Theodosius did not intend to let them go. Cutting down the grass was his heartbeat.
Let go of the children and family members of the enemy, do you wait for them to take revenge after many years? Even if most people can't make even a little turbulence, it is a trouble after all, and Theodosius doesn't want to do such a stupid thing.
After taking the castle without a single shot, Theodosius didn't stay too long. Taking over the territory could wait until after all the remnants of the rebel army were cleared away. It was a long night, and he didn't want any accidents.
In this way, the flat push along the way was like a broken bamboo. Although some castles did not choose to surrender, as long as the Varangian Guards made a simple attack, they could easily kill them all.
It is not realistic for a mere dozen or so defenders to block the sturdy Varangian warriors.
After conquering nine castles and three towns along the way, the Lanyin army finally came to the main city of Duke Brando, Bo City.
This is a large-scale city. Not only does it have complete defense facilities, but the height of the city wall has reached an astonishing ten meters. There are more than 60,000 residents in the city, and it is a well-deserved big city.
With such a huge city in hand, it is no wonder that Duke Brando would have an idea that he should not have. A city has nearly one-third of the population of the Rhine Kingdom, and theodosius would definitely have the same idea. .
But unfortunately, he did not correctly estimate the strength of the Lanyin Kingdom at this time. If they launched a rebellion before the expansion of the army, then the Lanyin Kingdom with only more than 4,000 regular troops would be difficult to resist.
But they didn't really understand how aggressive Theodosius was. Not only did he expand his army to a dangerous number, he organized the remaining civilians to form the Link Army.
Even if the frontal battle fails, Theodosius can form more than 40,000 peasants and soldiers who have undergone certain training and have a complete command system. It's a world of difference.
Yes, if the time of the rebellion is advanced by four months, then Theodosius really does not have much chance of winning, but unfortunately they did not have such courage at that time, until the Lanyin Kingdom completed the Luo expansion and the link army. After the formation of the army, they discovered the troops and hurriedly launched a rebellion.
However, Theodosius would not give them another chance.
Duke Job, the messengers of the Northern Empire, and other nobles who accompanied the army also came to Theodosius at this time.
Seeing the bad situation before, they fled more than 30 kilometers away, for fear that the Lanyin Kingdom would be defeated and the anger of the rebels would spread to them.
Now that they had received the news that Theodosius had won a complete victory and had conquered several castles in a row, they immediately chased after the stars, but the Lanyin army was moving too fast, and it took them seven days to get there. The army caught up on the second day after arriving in Bo City.
"Congratulations, esteemed King Lanyin, there is no doubt that you have won a great victory, that group of damned rebels have no resistance under your peak, I am deeply happy for you! "
Duke Job's attitude at this time was much more respectful than before. The huge victory of Theodosius was truly awe-inspiring, and the strength of the Lanyin Kingdom was also seen by everyone. The glorious victory was Silent declaration.
"Oh, Duke Job!" Theodosius sat in the military account, and in front of him was a small table with some food on it, and on it were two golden jugs, which contained Good wine.
Critidos sat next to him, her cheeks were slightly red, her sitting posture was very dignified and elegant, and the queen's bearing was unmistakable. She couldn't see that she just wanted to drink but was stopped by Theodosius. appearance.
"The great King Lanyin, Queen Lanyin, I wish you good health and long life!" This time, Duke Laran, the messenger of the Northern Empire, kept a low profile. Then he could justifiably return to his own country~www.readwn.com~ However, a hearty victory shattered all the fantasies in his heart, he gave up unrealistic ideas, and the disapproval of Theodosius in his heart was also converged.
"So are you, Duke of Laran!" Theodosius nodded and asked, "What's the matter with you?"
"We have no other intentions. We just want to contribute a little bit to the respected King of Lanyin on the battlefield. If you allow us, we are willing to help the Kingdom of Lanyin put down this rebellion!"
Without waiting for Duke Job of the Central Empire to speak, Duke Laran took the lead in saying that although they were not under the control of Theodosius, their escape before the war was bound to arouse disgust.
The Northern Empire is different from the Central Empire. No matter how good the interaction with the Lanyin Kingdom is, it is beyond reach, and it is difficult to meet each other in the event of a conflict.
The Northern Empire, as a neighbor of the Rhine Kingdom, had to consider the disadvantages of the further deterioration of the relationship between the two sides, and its emperor was still under house arrest by the Rhine Kingdom.
If you can take this opportunity to improve the relationship, not to mention that the emperor can be released, at least it can make his life better.
"Oh! So it is, but I understand your good intentions. The war has reached the last step. If the city in front of you is conquered, the last strength of the rebels will be completely shattered. You are still here to watch how I take this group of Panjin. Destroy them one by one!" Theodosius smiled slightly and rejected Duke Laran's proposal.
"..." Duke Laran pursed his lips and nodded helplessly: "Okay then, oh again, I wish Your Majesty the quelling of the rebellion in advance!"
After the group left, Theodosius turned around and said solemnly to the well-behaved Critidos: "I can't say it's not allowed, it's not allowed, who cares if you're drunk, if you spit on me I'll beat you up!"
