Chapter 67: Strategic retreat

　　 "The old fox is the old fox, he has such a keen sense of smell! What a pity, if they are roasted together, the entire Manyu army leader will be left to us." Skullcrusher McGee was full of regret.
"Satisfaction, it is in the sky, and you can have the current harvest. It is already lucky. If Christopher's old fox followed into the city, he might find the problem in advance. By then, we will have no hair. We burned one, let us work for half a month without talking, and lost a lot of treasure in it."
　　 These words are not comforting words, but Sean's sincere words. It is an unexpected surprise to have such a big gain.
According to the original estimate, this fire can pit thousands of people in. Even if it is a big success, in Xiao En's view, this trap is not very clever. The enemy will drop an empty city without firing a shot. A very weird and unusual thing, with a bunch of valuables lost in it, is even more wrong.
Even some savvy beasts will doubt whether there is a trap, and although they have carefully concealed the wood piled up in the city, it is too big and time rushed. The level of concealment is really not worth mentioning. A little bit of it will make you aware of it. something wrong.
　　 Just such a trap with many loopholes, and there are so many people stepping into it. Should we say that people in this world are stupid and naive, or should we say that the people in this world are stupid and naive, or that wealth covers their eyes and ignores the danger.
　　 "Those things are really so valuable? They can't be used for food or use, are they worth so many people crazy?"
McGee touched his head, full of doubts. He couldn't understand this complicated world more and more. People outside the mountain like gold and silver treasures. He can understand that those shining things, he I like it too.
But those so-called antique calligraphy and paintings are a bit confusing. The calligraphy and painting classics are at least records of knowledge. It is said that there are beautiful things recorded on them. Although he does not think that the beauty is there, at least it is understandable, but the antiques are tattered. He gave it to him for nothing, and he thought it would get in the way in the house.
　　 "Those things are worthless in the eyes of people who do not know the goods, like you, but in the eyes of people who know the goods, they are invaluable, such as those of the nobles and nobles outside the mountain."
　　 Xiao En said with a smile, "It depends on their own values, there is no need to entangle this, you change your mind, you can exchange a small piece of food for a warehouse of food, do you think it is worth?"
　　 "Ah? You said it earlier!" McGee hammered his head heavily, "We burned so many things in one fire, isn't it a big loss?"
　　 "There are not as many as you think, only a few of them are genuine, and the rest are all high-quality imitations that we have rushed to produce. It is impossible to tell what is the case with the turtles and the black lights."
Sean had to sigh that the people in this world are so foolish, and the high-quality imitations of such poor workmanship can't be seen. If the high imitation masters of the previous life come, they will not all be fooled into paupers. This also proves one thing again— —No culture, it's terrible.
　　 "That's good, that's good, that's good!" McGee patted his chest.
　　 "How many captives have you captured?" Xiao En and the others didn't do everything right. They only set up kerosene bomb traps at the West Gate, facing the East Gate of the Andes Mountain. It was a large section without any inflammable objects.
　　 All the private soldiers led by the noblemen in the Bastille were finally driven in this direction by the fire, and they were set ambush in the urns of the Eternal Night Legion and the Skullsmasher Legion to catch turtles.
　　 These people have long been dissipated by the fire. As long as they can escape from the sea of ​​fire and hell, the city walls will jump, and they care about other things. The captured abound.
　　The noble private army burned to death in the Bastille was far fewer than Christopher had imagined, and most of them became prisoners of the Eternal Night Legion.
　　 "There are seven or eight thousand." Skullcrusher McGee said with joy, "There are a lot of viscounts and barons in it, and the biggest one is a hereditary earl. How big is the position of hereditary earl?"
　　 "If it is a false title hereditary earl, it is worthless, at most a bit more money than an ordinary poor ghost, if it is a real power hereditary earl, it is worth money, he has at least one county territory under his name."
　　 "How big is a county territory?"
　　 "It's not too big, it's only one or two hundred kilometers, and it's a half of the ancient river of the Jacob River. Let's put it this way, in the Byron League, the more popular self-foreclosure price, a real power hereditary earl at least 100,000 Byron gold coins."
　　 "So big? So much money? Is this one we caught with a false title or a real power?"
"Nonsense, of course, is the real power. If it is a false title, where is the ability to organize troops to conquer us? Everyone who can lead troops is the real power. Not only the earls are valuable, but the viscounts and barons can be sold at a price, at least Also got ten thousand Byron gold coins."
　　 Skullcrusher McGee's eyes flashed golden light, "These guys are simply made of gold, no, I will look at him personally, those guys are frivolous, if there is something wrong, our loss will be great."
　　 After finishing talking, McGee the Skullcrusher ran away in a hurry, and even forgot about his business dealing with Sean.
"The general is high." Ralph raised his thumbs and exclaimed sincerely. "Whoever mentions the killing of prisoners now, General McGee is the first to be anxious with him, but their family members are afraid that they won't be so. More ransom, right? Their family, especially the heirs, wish they were really killed in flames? At that time, General McGee would be disappointed!"
　　 "If you use money to measure their value, your IQ is about the same as McGee."
　　 Xiao En glanced sideways at him and said, "People have to keep their eyes on the long-term. After two or three years, we will put them back without a penny. Guess what will happen to the leader of Man Yu?"
　　 "I understand." Ralph made it through at one point, again thumbs up, and praised again and again: "This trick is high, it is too high."
"So, take good care of them. This is our biggest gain this time. At least we can't let them die in the mountains. They will become a poisonous arrow in our hands. After shooting it out, the entire army leader will not want to live for a while. "Sean let out a long sigh, "This war will not have changed much years ago. Let's proceed according to the original plan!"
"No!" Ralph promised very happy, but his heel did not move, and he said unwillingly: "General, are we really going to retreat a hundred kilometers back? The entire ancient river of Jacob is less than 300 kilometers. It is really unwilling to give up a hundred kilometers for nothing."
"What if you are not reconciled? Are you really ready to fight the opponent here? Can you not say if you win? Even if you win, what's the point? People are all dead, guarding a clearing. What's the use?"
"There is a balance between people and land, people and land are saved, and people and land are lost. I have analyzed this truth many times and it is very thorough. This one hundred kilometers is a necessary strategic depth, not to mention that we do not have so much manpower in our hands. Material resources, such a large scope of management, even if you hold it in your hand, you still leave it to be barren, it is meaningless."
　　 "When we have the ability and need, we can take it back." Xiao En said earnestly, "You are the best use of their heads. Why is it so troublesome to understand this principle?"
"It's not that I don't understand, but it's just a pity that so much land was taken back in vain, and now it is actively discarded. Seven or eight villages have moved in. We don't listen to our dissuasion at all. We are now withdrawing behind them. Didn't they send them to the people outside the mountain for harm?"
"How big is the bowl and how much rice." Sean's expression at the moment is indescribable. "Don't treat yourself as the savior of the Andean people because of a little feat. We have not lived a good life. , How can you care for some irrelevant outsiders? Instead of having the same faces, they are just like us. Only when they have suffered enough can they know who is truly good to them."
　　 Sean had heard of the cunning of the Andis mountain people around Bastille, but he had never seen it before. This time it was finally eye-opening.
When the Eternal Night Legion and the Bastille were fighting to death, they were not seen. After the Eternal Night Legion took the Bastille down, they ran faster than the rabbits. In the blink of an eye, the ancient Jacob River was the longest one hundred kilometers. They occupy the good farming area completely.
If that’s the case, it’s not just them~EbookFREE.me~ The most hateful thing is that Sean and the others are preparing to retreat strategically, vacating hundreds of kilometers of land as a strategic buffer zone with the Manyu army. When they were kindly sent to inform them, they thought that this was a plot of the Evernight Legion to deceive their land.
　　 There was a villager who came home even more arrogantly. They directly killed two Yongye soldiers who were sending letters. They hung up outside the village to demonstrate and swear their sovereignty.
　　 Faced with such a situation, even the best-tempered people get angry.
　　 On the second day of the incident, Xiao En personally led people to slaughter the village, but the dogs and chickens were not left.
　　 It doesn't matter whether human nature is good or evil, it is a necessary means to survive in the mountains.
If they don’t do this, those fools will think that the Evernight Legion is easy to bully, and similar things will emerge in endlessly. For the safety of the Evernight soldiers, they must show their worst side from the beginning, and let them consider before provoke them. Know the consequences.
　　 Also from this incident, Sean discovered that living his own little life and being a leader are completely different.
　　 At least my original set of being kind to others is not completely suitable.
　　 Is McGee the Skullcrusher really born such a vicious person?
　　 Not necessarily, at least during this time, Sean has never seen him show a ferocious side. On the contrary, most of the time, he is better to talk.
　　 Fierceness may be deliberately shaped to deter ignorant fools.
　　 "I know what to do." Ralph sighed in his heart, committing a crime and cannot live, even if he has the heart, he can't help them.
