Lord of Riders

After annexing the lands of the Kingdom of Virginia, Shao Yu also integrated the remaining 20,000 horses of the Kingdom of Virginia. Equip these troops with heavy crossbows, and let them garrison the towns and castles of the Shao Ming Kingdom as city defense forces.

Shao Yu once again divided the army. Originally, the fifty thousand troops of the Shao Ming Kingdom were used as field troops to fight with Shao Yu, while those newly merged Vigia troops were used as city defense troops.

The Virginia coup is a good thing for Shao Yu. Although an ally was lost, the strength of the Shao Ming Kingdom itself was greatly improved. With more land and population, the Shao Ming Kingdom can build a larger army, and at the same time, the country's productivity will increase accordingly.

Earl Mamuen was appointed by Shao Yu as the governor of Kudan, responsible for Kudan's management and defense, while the other lords were assigned by Shao Yu to take charge of the attached castles and villages.

In the Kudan area, Shao Yu also pursued the same policies as the Shao Ming Kingdom. Low taxes for civilians are implemented, but Kudan can no longer be used as a commercial center, just like every dynasty was just established at the beginning.

The Kingdom of Shao Ming annexed the Kingdom of Vigia, and it did not cause any major reactions on the continent of Calradia. No country was surprised, and no one opposed it. Only absolute strength is speaking

The current Kingdom of Vigia was originally supported by the Kingdom of Shao Ming, and the regime itself has not stabilized. Therefore, the Kingdom of Vigia is now swallowed by the Kingdom of Shao Ming, which is also the past.

The Nord Kingdom suffered heavy casualties during the attack on Dehrim, with a loss of 50,000 troops. The remaining forces of the Nord Kingdom are only 100,000 troops.

But the strength of 100,000 people is also quite strong. King Ragnar placed the main force in Zivadin. Zivadin has 70,000 troops. In the battle of Kudan City, the Nord Kingdom lost more than 15,000 people, and now only more than 80,000 troops remain. Afterwards, the Nord Kingdom made additional military strength. There are only 90,000 horses.

And these 90,000 horses have to guard such a large territory, which makes Shao Yu moved to the Nord Kingdom.

After Shao Yu annexed the Kingdom of Vigia, he also tasted the sweetness. The expansion of the land will bring great benefits to the kingdom. Increasing population and resources will also bring many problems. But always the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Shao Yu turned his sights on the Nord Kingdom.

"Kane, order the dark guards below to pay more attention to the intelligence of the Nord Kingdom, and report to me as soon as possible."

Shao Yu convened a meeting of important ministers in Aichamore's castle. Said to Kane

"Yes, Your Majesty" Kane replied

"Wayne" Shao Yu continued calling

"Your Majesty" Wayne stepped forward and responded

"How is the development of the firm now?" Shao Yu asked

"Now the commercial bank is developing very smoothly and the amount of profit is constantly increasing. According to my calculations, our country's taxation can match the taxation of the Kingdom of Swadia and the Khergit Khanate, or even more. ”Waynehui reports

"Very well, you are in charge of our country's finances. If you have any good projects, report to me in time. Only with strong economic support can we better protect our country." Shao Yu nodded and said appreciatively

"Yes, Your Majesty" Wayne also responded

"I'm calling everyone this time to discuss the crusade against the Nord Kingdom." After Shao Yu said a few words first, he came to the topic.

"Tell me, do we hope to destroy the Nord Kingdom" Shao Yu asked directly

"Destroy the Nord Kingdom?" The ministers of the Shao Ming Kingdom were surprised when they heard what Shao Yu said.

"The Nord Kingdom is now in alliance with the Ansas Empire, and the Ansas Empire is now very aggressively offensive. I heard that the Ansas Empire’s army has controlled most of the Rhodok Kingdom and trapped the main force of King Griffith in Aaron. , I am afraid that the Kingdom of Rhodok will not be able to hold it anymore. Do we have to consider how we should deal with their problems next?" Earl Mamuen said

Under the leadership of their Field Marshal Dunn, the Anglo-Saxon Empire continued to win, and gradually occupied most of the Rhodok kingdom. The Rhodok army holding Aaron now has no reinforcements. Fortunately, there is still a lot of food and grass accumulated in the city of Aaron to support them in their defense. But under such circumstances, I am afraid that the Kingdom of Rodok will not be able to hold on for long.

"I don't think we can go to the Nord Kingdom," Lord Ubai also raised an objection later.

"Nord soldiers are very good at defending the city. At the same time, there are almost 30,000 Anglo-Saxon troops in the Nord Kingdom to assist them. The siege must consume a lot of soldiers. They have many people, but we have few. The casualties of the city are also higher than those of the defender. It’s probably not a wise choice to attack Nord.” Lord Ubai also said his objections later.

Lord Ubai finished speaking, and the ministers nodded in agreement. Support the opinions of Lord Ubai

"Well, do you support me in the crusade against Nord Kingdom?" Shao Yu listened to Lord Ubai and said immediately.

Shao Yu looked at the lord ministers under him, and they all seemed to oppose sending troops to the Nord Kingdom.

After all, there is still a big gap in military strength between the two sides.

The Kingdom of Shao Ming has always been good at fighting defensive battles, and siege warfare is not very advantageous to the Kingdom of Shao Ming. First of all, the army does not take advantage of it.

Although the Shao Ming Kingdom also won with a small loss in several siege battles, it was all because of the serious shortage of enemy defenders.

"Well, since no one supports me in attacking the Nord Kingdom, then I will announce it." Shao Yu paused and looked at the lords below.

"I decided to attack the Kingdom of Nord. Ten days later, the army opened up and attacked Nord," Shao Yu said simply.

"Do you have any comments?" Shao Yu asked directly

"this……"

Shao Yu sent a message ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The lords below looked at each other, and Shao Yu was not asking for their opinions. What they said had no impact on Shao Yu's decision.

"Wayne" Shao Yu shouted

"In" Wayne responded

"Prepare the food, grass, materials, weapons and equipment needed for the expedition, I will give you seven days, and they will be in place by then," said Shao Yu

"Yes, Your Majesty" Wayne answered the order

They are already familiar with such things, and Shao Yu must arrange their missions for his ministers and prepare for battle every time before he sets out.

Although Shao Yu's plan differs from the opinions of the lords, they can only follow it. After all, Shao Yu is the ruler of the country.

Shao Yu depends on the attitude of the lords, and also whether his plan is feasible. Because if the lords of their own country also think that they can't attack the Nord Kingdom. Then the people of the Nord Kingdom would not believe that the Shao Ming Kingdom would take the initiative to attack them.
