"Kneel down! You **** infidel!"

The military officer watching this town was like a dead dog being dragged in by two Nordic swordsmen, and forced to kneel down. Charles was expressionless. He sat on the main seat casually, looking at this mockingly. A Cunha officer who commanded the city and refused to surrender, before he could speak, the lieutenant on the side stepped forward and shouted: "Stupid heretics, in front of you is General Charles, Earl of Sauron, of the Kingdom of Winster! "

However, the military officer did not speak. He was still kneeling there like a dead dog, with his head hanging down, and blood was kept from his forehead, dripping down his skin on the floor.

"You!" When the lieutenant saw that he didn't respond, he wanted to get angry. Charles stopped him and said, "Derek, forget it. Since the military officer doesn't want to speak, then don't let him speak."

Charles's voice fell, and the military officer who was kneeling on the ground was obviously relieved, but the next second, the former spoke again, and what he said made the military officer look bloodless and tremble.

"Go and cut off his eyes and cut off his tongue, then throw it outside and let him fend for himself."

"Understood, Lord Earl." Hearing this, the lieutenant looked a little excited. The lieutenant who was accustomed to the brutal Viking style stepped forward, pulled out the dagger from his waist, and motioned to the two Nordic swordsman generals and military officers. Squeezing, he then roughly squeezed the latter's chin, letting the opponent open his mouth, and the sharp dagger directly stabbed in, stirred a few times, and blood mixed with the broken tongue pouring out.

Picking up the broken tongue, the lieutenant ignored the splash of blood, threw the broken tongue to one of the Nordic swordsmen, smiled and said: "Take this tongue and roast it. I will ask for it later. Just eat with wine!"

"Yes, General."

Listening to the lieutenant's treatment of his broken tongue, the military officer who was suffering from the pain could no longer bear it. He turned his eyes and fainted. Seeing this, the lieutenant sighed regretfully and wiped the dagger with his clothes. The blood on the blood was inserted back into the scabbard, and the soldiers were sent to execute the sentence.

There is one more thing that I forgot to mention that within a short time of launching the general offensive, Winster’s army captured the town. Then, Charles did not restrain his corporals, but instead allowed them to plunder the civilians in the city as a insistence on them. The punishment of resistance.

...

It has been nearly a month since the war between the two countries officially broke out. During this month, Winster's army victoriously marched eastward and captured several cities and towns in the Republic of Cunha. At the same time, Lasik The reinforcements of the Principality have also assembled and set off. This 8,000-strong reinforcement crossed the border and joined the army of the Principality of West Connahta who also came to support. The two armies then went to Prang together.

On the other hand, Richard and his First Army did not choose to join Charles' Second Army. After communicating with Charles, the two unanimously decided to fight in two ways, but in order to be able to support in time, the distance between each other was not the same. It won't be very far.

On April 10, 1112 of the Continental Calendar, when Richard led the First Army to a position only two days away from Plane, the first tough battle he had encountered since the invasion of the Republic of Cunha finally came. In front of him, there is a huge coalition composed of the Republic of Cunha, the Principality of Lasik, the Principality of Western Konakhta, and the Free City of Guiaara. The total number of this huge coalition exceeds 35,000, which stretches for several miles. , Are all black heads.

Although I don’t know where the Republic of Cunha got so many reinforcements, Richard was not afraid. He ordered the Legion to camp in situ, bury pots for cooking, recharge its energy, and dispatched messengers to the nearby No. The second legion asked for help.

What Richard didn't know was that the messenger he sent was intercepted by a coalition scout halfway through. The messenger was shot through the throat on the spot, fell from a horse and died. The letter hidden in him was also searched out and taken back to the coalition barracks. .

However, what is embarrassing is that when Richard and Charles wrote letters in German that the indigenous people of this world had never seen before, the top coalition forces could not understand what was written on it, even if one was urgently found. The merchant from the Kingdom of Winster, the other party still couldn't understand (most of the residents of the Kingdom of Winster were still aborigines, how could they read the German language that was only circulated in the army?), so they could only give up.

The fighting broke out on the second day. Under the warm spring sun, heavily armed soldiers walked out of their respective military camps neatly and set out a battle formation on the plain between the two military camps. Comparing the military strength of the coalition forces, Richard's side is clearly at a disadvantage. The first army has only more than 19,000 troops, and the coalition forces they face far exceed this number, which is a full 35,000. More than a thousand people, what is this concept? From Richard's perspective, his sight was full of black human heads, and almost all the open space in the distance was full.

There is a saying that if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant. Even with the elite Holy Roman Empire army~lightnovelpub.net~ Richard dare not ask for it. In order to facilitate the defense, he ordered the whole army. Shrink and deploy eighteen artillery guns on higher ground. Due to the angle problem, these artillery can only shell the enemy from a distance. Once the enemy gets too close, the artillery has to stop firing, otherwise the shells are likely to be shot. Into the friendly army.

Richard's abacus is very good. As long as he firmly sticks to the enemy, Charles leads the Second Army into the battlefield at this time. The two sides should unite inside and outside, and defeat the enemy in one fell swoop. Isn't it beautiful?

However, he didn't know that the body of the messenger he sent had already rotted somewhere.

...

Woo-

The sound of a deep and long horn came here from the enemy army, and then, the vast and almost infinite coalition army marched forward slowly. Watching this scene, even Richard, as the king, couldn’t help being nervous. Get up, but he can't show it, because he is the soul of the legion. Once he goes wrong, the entire legion will be finished.

"Lord, my rock, my savior, may the words in my mouth and the thoughts in my heart be acceptable to you..."

The low prayers sounded from time to time in the army. In the tense atmosphere before the war, only praying to the gods who believed in could dispel the gloom in their hearts.

On the front line, it is very common for officers to take the lead in prayer. The officers lead and bow their heads in prayer. However, from time to time, some of the soldiers have stomach cramps due to extreme tension, bending over and vomiting, and when they are done vomiting, they straighten up and continue to pray to God. In prayer, some young soldiers even urinated directly. The yellow liquid spread out under his feet. The officer who was praying smelled the smell, turned his head and glanced at the soldier, which made the latter ashamed.

"In the name of God, we will eventually win!"
