Vol 8 Chapter 878: Cheated

Borragon is now one of the highest rank nobles in the current combat force. In order to prevent himself from being surrounded by the other, he also wrote to Charles II to allow the nobles south of the Bordeaux River to quickly gather all their forces and keep Bordeaux firmly The city of Layena in the south, and quickly dispatched troops to meet these soldiers who gathered by themselves ... while providing enough food.
Because of the rush to retreat, he currently has enough food to march for only three days. If there is no follow-up food supplement, then wait for self-defeating without fighting!
However, when Borragon led the team to a position on the north bank of the Bordeaux, the situation was worse than he expected.
Borragón found that he was not the first "loser" to arrive here ... This town by the river has gathered more than 6,000 noble troops who have returned from various places. Upon asking, some of these nobles were halfway Some were directly defeated and regrouped, and some were notified to retreat. Anyway, everyone could meet at this moment, entirely because Dunkel City was captured without warning, and other nobles were naturally not fools. They heard that the leading nobles were killed. After the defeat, I chose to retreat without saying a word ...
This place called Lannis was suddenly overcrowded. Borragon didn't think it was a good thing to gather so many people here. Because there was no unified leadership, conflicts often broke out when the people gathered together, and because there was not enough weight, some The aristocratic soldiers were hungry, and some could even send two pieces of bread a day, which led to uneven distribution of resources and the hidden dangers of civil strife.
In order not to die from the infighting before the enemy arrived, he immediately convened all the leading nobles to meet and quickly negotiated a reasonable plan: everyone autonomously divided, separated from each other, and evacuated in an orderly manner in the next time, everyone Let's stand up to this difficulty first!
Because he gathered more than 1,000 soldiers and more than 800 farmers, the number was the largest, and his own rank was also high, so he quickly became the leader of this group of temporarily gathered troops. But he didn't wait for him to arrange a plan to withdraw the troops towards the south side of the Bordeaux. The news from the east made him realize that things were really troublesome ...
After the city of Count Harrison was captured, the Evata Infantry Division, which hit the aristocracy in the east, showed no mercy, crushing and dispersing more than 10,000 troops.
Therefore, after calculation, Boragong found that these people, together with the remnants of the retired soldiers who had retreated to the north bank of the Bordeaux River, were estimated to have reached more than 16,000, which is half of the estimated total number of people!
In other words, before their offensive began, half of them were separated or fell on the battlefield ...
Now 20,000 people have begun to cross the Bordeaux river, striving towards the city of Laiana, 40 kilometers away. Whether or not there is enough food there, the towering walls have become the only hope for the soldiers to fight back.
"Damn ... why this battle was fought before it even started!"
Looking at the troops slowly crossing the bridge, Viscount Borragon was extremely gloomy.
May 14.
News from the front line finally passed to the imperial city.
Until this time, the nobles who had originally thought of attacking the temple were completely dumbfounded, and the atmosphere in the parliament hall was almost frozen.
Charles II's hands have been shaking, and he has been unable to calm down since receiving the first exact report of the war last night. As one letter after another was placed on his case at 10 am, he Feeling like I'm having a suffocating nightmare.
The nobles in the Chamber all bowed their heads, and no one dared to speak. And Charles II did not say anything after he arrived, and everyone was silent as if mourning in the cemetery, and the sound of breathing was clear and audible.
"Who can tell me what's going on?"
Charles II asked a little tiredly. Because he had not slept all night, his dark circles were very obvious. He sat on the throne and had no previous instrument Yu Xuanang. Instead, he leaned back against the back of his chair and supported his chin with his left hand.
No one can answer his question. After all, this question is being asked in everyone's mind: why within three days, the enemy directly broke into more than 200 kilometers and directly broke up the aristocratic army that had not yet assembled?
"According to the information, Everta ’s army split directly from the temple and advanced in two directions, one directly south and one southeast. Three days later, all the territories were planted with the flag of Everta. The gathered troops were forced to the north bank of the Bordeaux River. "The hostel of Charles II has firmly imprinted this information in his mind, but the more he repeats these things, the more uncontrollable his anger ...
"So who can tell me, is Evta's army all dragons ?! Why can they appear in front of us without a sound, and until the war broke out, no one revealed a little bit of wind ?!"
Not to mention the intelligence system within the kingdom, there is no sign of news from Everta. He secretly had a connection with Earl Tower's Cabinet, Earl Les, and the information flow between the two has not broken since the beginning of the year. But just last night, the news from the other party still said that "Everta has no sign of conscription at present, and the cabinet has only decided to ship the grain to Parrion in advance" ...
It now seems that Charles II felt deeply deceived!
The army is about to hit my door. Who are you still here? !!
If it weren't for the city government that he has worked hard to raise for many years, Charles II would have collapsed last night. After all, the current situation is far worse than he expected. The situation on the study's sand table is obviously so optimistic, as if he can conquer the temple next, and attack the entire Eiffel tower, but overnight, the temple was not destroyed, and the territory he currently controlled was directly reduced by two-fifths. !!
It was like a confrontation between two boxers. One side was stubbornly preparing for a round of fists, but found that the other side suddenly took out a sledgehammer, and rounded his head three times on the spot ...
Everta's blitz completely surpassed the recognition of Charles II, and it was like a "foul". So he was really a bit stunned, and now his thinking mode has become confused.
"Our army is now retreating from the Bordeaux. Who can you come up with an effective solution to this dilemma? Uh?"
No matter how irritated, this war has not yet completely failed. It ’s okay to be beaten. Whether you can fight back after being beaten is the main thing that Jun considers. Seeing no one squeak below, he called directly: "Deweyden, don't you usually have a lot of ideas?"
"Your Majesty ... I, I really do n’t know what to say. The food prepared in advance is basically collected from the territories north of Bordeaux. Now these territories on the Henan bank may be transported in three or four days. I do n’t know when it will arrive in Laena ...

Deweyden is also true, because the road conditions in these southern areas are very bad, and the rain and rain have never stopped. Collecting grain is now transported to the past, and you have to say something else if you eat or not, because a large part of it is estimated that it will mold and rot because of rain.
"And most importantly ... it takes a lot of gold coins."
Deweyden didn't dare to say a word after he said this. Charlie II looked gloomy and ordered another Viscount to continue to say that the latter did a fair analysis of the reason why the enemy appeared here. Obviously, everyone here would never think of the use of "trucks" and "roads". Although the royal and nobles had a large number of magicians, they did not realize the "communication circle" and ordinary people. What it means to be a "spar gun".
Even the essay previously written by Count Harrison, the whole content is only about how to use the magician as a big soldier.
After Deweyden, some people started to discuss the importance of intelligence, and others said that Count Harrison had a great responsibility in the operation.
Charles II didn't say a word about it, and he listened to the fire: Harrison must have surrendered, what's the point of rushing to push him back?
However, one Earl finally said, "Your Majesty, it is imperative to save fighting power now. It is not easy to gather nearly 20,000 soldiers. If it is dispersed due to logistical problems, the morale of the hardly gathered may be lost!"
Charles II finally nodded, because it was exactly what he thought, so he immediately rose up and said, "Yes, now it is time to save people! Save the people at all costs! The army from the north bank of the Bordeaux River is heading towards Lajena. Hurry, you must guard here and settle all the soldiers! "
He already had a draft in his heart, so now he is very powerful: "The frontline troops were defeated because they were attacked without being assembled. Once we stand firmly, the enemy will never have any more opportunities!"
"Our counterattack will start from Laiana, and there must be no retreat!"
After such a strategy is settled, the staff and ministers will be busy. Charles II continued to add several plans, including immediately dispatching a large number of magicians to join the battle group, going to the front line to support operations, etc. In order to make everything start working immediately, Charles II even directly started using the last ones in the royal vault. family property…
Because he understands that this is a battle between the royal family and life, and he cannot afford to be sloppy!
When the meeting was over, Charles II returned to the study and collapsed in his chair. Seeing this, Princess Rowling's heart could not help beating. She didn't know what happened, but it was obviously not a good thing to see her father.
She came to salute in front of her father, and then asked, "Father, what do I need?"
In fact, Charles II has always wanted to ask the Dragons for help. Everta suddenly broke his face to attack ~ EbookFREE.me ~ and the momentum is so rapid. Would it seem that the royal family would be vulnerable if he asked for help now?
But when he saw his daughter asking him like this, he understood that the situation was very critical now, and what he needed to pay attention to was not a matter of royal appearance ...
"Iskar still unwilling to see you lately?"
He tried to calm himself down and asked softly.
"Well ... every time he goes, he's not there."
Rowling whispered, she actually hoped that the other party would never be there, but her father obviously did not think so. "So ... I'll send someone to send an invitation, if I can, I'll visit him tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, father."
Rowling lowered her head. She knew that she had no room to refute ...
And qualifications.
