Chapter 1583: ""


Those fragile self-esteems of adolescence, which are easily untouchable, are very likely to be an interruption to his or her life; we have all experienced such pure and fragile youth, but the grinding of time has made us know how to escape and swallow and then slowly Forget about your youth.
Kyogo Higashino (The King of Japanese Reasoning Novels)
One hundred thousand strong and strong young men plus one hundred thousand sets of weapons and equipment are enough for Opman to take his Cossack mercenary to a comeback; as for the extra 100 million gold coins, Opman can get only 30 million. Only the gold coins, the remaining 70 million gold coins will be sent to the Royal Capital by Windsor who arranged for the Westminster Chamber of Commerce together with the interest-free loan of the one billion gold coins.
The billion-dollar interest-free loan provided by the Westminster Chamber of Commerce will be paid off by the Dragon Empire in ten years; because the money will be invested in the post-war reconstruction of the western provinces of the empire, it will be presented by the Salah’s Ministry of Finance It will be repaid by the Ministry of Finance in the future.
The 70 million gold coins belonging to the compensation of the Cossack mercenaries were taken for granted by Bai Feng to his royal chamber and kept as imperial reserve funds.
Of course, whether it is to compensate the 100 million gold coins for the Cossack mercenaries, one hundred thousand young and strong, one hundred thousand sets of weapons and equipment, or the one billion gold coins for the Dragon Dragon Empire interest-free loan, it is given by the Duke of Windsor on behalf of the Westminster Chamber of Commerce The compensation of the Tianlong Empire has nothing to do with him; or, these can not be used as a manifestation of the Windsor family's loyalty to Bai Feng.
The Duke of Windsor, who wanted to strengthen his family’s relationship with the royal family of the Dragon empire, after negotiating the compensation from the Westminster Chamber of Commerce for the Dragon empire, donated a batch of food to the empire in the name of his family to help the empire stabilize. Eight provinces in the west.
Although the actual value of the grain donated by the Duke of Windsor on behalf of the Windsor family to his empire is not even 10 million gold coins, for the empire that is extremely grain-deficit at this stage, it is no different than sending charcoal in the snow; The Duke is not qualified to inherit his second son of the knighthood, and is sealed as the Earl of the Dragon Empire to express his gratitude for his donation.
After sending away the Duke of Windsor, Bai Feng thought for a whole afternoon in the study room alone; on the premise that the Cossack mercenaries were unable to unify the chaotic territory by force according to the planned plan, Marshal Rundstede’s Southwestern Rebels still wanted After calming down the rebellion of Prince Harry, he took advantage of the situation and entered the White Horse Kingdom, which made him difficult to decide.
When Bai Feng first formulated the battle plan, the reason why Marshal Ronderstad took advantage of the situation to settle the rebellion of Prince Harry took advantage of the situation to kill the chickens and monkeys to warn those countries that were improper to imperial conspiracies, and on the other hand Attracting the attention of superpowers such as the Holy See and creating opportunities for Cossack mercenaries to act in the chaotic realm.
The problem now facing Bai Feng is that the Cossack mercenary remnants almost destroyed by the whole army will certainly not be able to restore their fighting power in a short period of time. The stranding of the unified plan of the chaotic region is inevitable; at this time, Long Deshi should be allowed Marshal Ted continued to counterattack the White Horse Kingdom according to the original plan, or should he postpone the counterattack and wait for the Cossack mercenaries?
After an afternoon of careful thinking, Bai Feng finally decided to let Marshal Longdestead continue to implement the original plan, launching a counterattack against the White Horse Kingdom as soon as possible after pacifying the rebellion of Prince Harry, and using a war to lift the crisis on the southwestern border of the empire .
Marshal Longdestead, who had led the army to rest on the border between the two armies for a week, received an order from Bai Feng to send someone quickly to the army, and on the same day he once again launched a six-way attack on the real control of the Prince Harry. Only this time, the enemy facing the Southwestern rebels is no longer a Cossack mercenary who deliberately released water, and their offensive speed naturally slowed down.
Under the command of the imperial generals Randolph, Ferry, and Totila, the 500,000 troops of the Prince Harry, who were stationed in the three provinces, directly gave up all the easy-to-treat passes and no stone walls in the three provinces. The city, with its relatively sufficient strength, defended those easy-to-defense passes and the city walls with strong walls to resist the attacks of the Southwestern rebels.
The key defensive tactics of the three generals Randolph, Ferry, and Totila not only made the Southwestern rebels' cavalry advantage unable to play a role, but also made Marshal Ronderstad's originally formulated quick combat quick decision strategy fail; fortunately Bai Feng It is not mandatory how long Marshal Lundstad should settle the Southwest Rebellion, so Marshal Lundstad can adjust his combat style.
The adjustment of Marshal Longdestad’s thinking is very simple. Since I can’t settle the rebellion in a quick and quick manner, then I will settle the rebellion in a steady and steady manner; your rebels choose to stick to the pass and the city that are easy to defend and difficult to attack. Then I will concentrate my superior forces to attack the barriers and cities that you insist on, and deplete your rebel forces bit by bit!
The city of Rouen in the province of Delehang is a city with high walls and strong walls guarded by 20,000 rebel soldiers. It is also the first important city for the rebels to be attacked by the rebels; The German Marshal, in addition to sending the Rodriguez Fire Corps, also called Demi’s First Army and Louis’ 29th Army, and 140,000 troops attacked Rouen.
Of the 20,000 rebel soldiers in the city of Rouen, only four or five thousand were veteran soldiers. The other soldiers were young and strong recruited in the last two months; such an army, even if it has a city as its support, How could it stop the empire's elite attack.
What's more, among the offensive troops sent by Marshal Rundstad, not only the elite of 140,000 empire, but also a very special force: this special force is composed of rebel prisoners of war held in barracks. Cannon fodder.
More than 28,000 convicted rebel prisoners held by the Xi'anping rebels in the barracks, only more than 3,000 people were actually executed, and the remaining 25,000 people were compiled into five by Marshal Longdestead. A death row camp serving as a cannon fodder for the rebel army to recover the lost ground.
As soon as the horn of the rebel attack was blown, the ten thousand cannon ashes of the two death row camps were rushed towards the city of Rouen under the pressure of the Warlords. The defenders on the walls of the city, regardless of whether they were cannon fodder, only When they rushed into the range of the bow and arrow, the dense arrow rain poured down the city wall, and when they got closer, the rolling stones, sapwood, and kerosene were all the same.
The arrows, rolling stones, sapwood, and kerosene of the limited guards of the city of Rouen have not yet been used by the rebel soldiers, and most of them have been consumed by these cannon fodders; the deadly death camps that have suffered heavy casualties have not washed up In the city walls, the heavy infantry in full armor, pushed the siege towers and siege cones, and stepped on the bodies of their battle robes to the foot of the city wall.
With the heavy infantry of the 1st and 29th legions as the main force, the elite infantry of the Blaze Legion as the wing, and the archer of the Blaze Legion as the long-range cover of the attack, the defense on the city wall was started by the archers of the Blaze Legion. The overly long range of coverage shots suppressed the head up; when the arrows of the long archers stopped, the heavy infantrymen had already climbed the city walls along the siege tower!
