The fall of Maasburg had already been expected.
There are only 2,500 garrisoned troops, and most of them are armed militias gathered in the surrounding villages. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are almost equal to zero. In field battles, they are the kind that are massacred after being defeated by the regular army.
In fact, Viscount Kevin did not dare to let his troops fight the Kangde army outside.
The stupidest commander would not make such a decision.
Just look at it.
Viscount Wayne, the lord of the Northern County Territory, is stronger than Viscount Kevin.
Spending huge sums of money to form a coalition of nobles, even the nobles of the South County remained silent unexpectedly, which was obviously the default situation, but on the open plains of the North County, they were completely defeated without holding on for even one night.
Not only were nearly 10,000 mercenaries slaughtered, but even the originally organized coalition of nobles were captured.
Now, instead, he has become an accomplice of Kang De's army!
That's what it is!
Not to mention the messages brought back by the soldiers who escaped secretly at night but luckily left.
Even those mercenaries who had escaped the massacre and pursuit of the light cavalry by chance and were completely frightened had already proved that the flat wilderness of the North County Territory had become the territory of Baron Kant.
Elite and brave light cavalry, and terrifying armored heavy cavalry.
No one can resist!
In addition, the noble coalition infantry who surrendered to the past.
It's like condensing all the North County leaders into one, completely becoming the strongest complete state!
There is no intrigue among the nobles, and there is no rivalry between the nobles, plus the fanatical belief in conferring nobles, and the rewards of a large amount of silver coins from the salt mines, those commoners who are eager to change their current lives have become The wailing hungry wolf wants to fight decisively with green eyes.
From the mouth of the Resniston River, the Sagos, which has been promoted to a castle, where Kant is currently stationed and is rapidly developing the navy, new orders and guidance have also come from.
According to the level of military merits, titles are conferred, land is given according to the size of the battle results, and pensions are obtained according to the performance before death.
Very simple instructions.
It is nothing more than an incentive to rely on a lot of land and money.
In the ancient oriental countries of the earth, the system has already become a definitive system, but in this feudal world, where the blood of the nobles determines everything, and the common people will never be able to stand out, absolute power has burst out!
The infantry, composed of low-level civilians, has become Kant's loyal support.
Of course, the nobles who had their fundamental interests touched complained quite a lot.
There can only be complaints.
It is impossible for them to resist this system.
Because just after Fatis and Rolf used machetes to force all the troops to break up and reorganize, these nobles lost control of the troops, and they couldn't summon the old troops in a short time!
But even if they are called together, there is no way to do it, because the continuous sitting system is also implemented.
If one of the comrades in the same team rebels and the others do not organize or report, the whole team will be killed.
Still so simple and rude.
can be more effective.
The most important thing is that 3,000 Swadian light infantry from the Stone Pass came.
Wearing a half-worn but definitely well-repaired chain mail and burqa, holding a spear and a dagger, and a round shield hanging on his back, he looked like he was richer than those knight masters in the noble coalition army.
Filled into the disbanded coalition of nobles, and served as a small-level commander such as a small captain.
But it is not absolute.
Among the scattered infantry, if there are 10 people in each squad, there must be one Swadian light infantry.
Moreover, in each squadron of 100 people, there is also a squad composed entirely of Swadian light infantry to maintain the front or conduct battle supervision, which is equivalent to a squad directly under the squadron leader's jurisdiction.
As for those squadron leaders, they were also served by Swadian heavy cavalry.
The noble knights were incorporated into Fatis' heavy cavalry.
More than 800 people are not too many.
Very tightly watched by 1500 Swadian knights and heavy cavalry.
As for the light cavalry originally belonging to the coalition of nobles, the former scout cavalry was also incorporated into Rolf's light cavalry, and there was no chance of them being able to act alone.
In just one week, at the charred and ruined Masburg, the troops completed their reorganization.
15,000 infantry.
2100 heavy cavalry.
1600 light cavalry.
Among them are troops belonging to Calradia.
There are also troops belonging to the nobles of the North County, which are completely mixed together.
There were even Viscount Kevin's troops who had chosen to surrender before handing over the command of the troops and became captives.
Relying on the current Masburg, these troops continued to rush towards the south, like a torrent, setting off a huge wave, which was about to sweep the entire Lion Principality, and was also washing away all the stubborn decay.
Even the nobles of the East County Leaders, who had been frightened by Kant, began to contact here.
Countless horse-drawn carriages formed a convoy to transport various supplies.
They were all offered by the nobles of the Eastern County.
Includes an enormous amount of food, alternate weapons, alternate shields, and bundles of arrows.
There are also a large number of siege weapons, and many nobles have also sent the most considerate butlers, all wearing black robes with hoods, leaving unsigned letters like thieves, and not talking much.
However, after opening the letters, they all said that they could provide more help.
Such as troops and the like.
Fatis and Rolf did not dare to make a decision on this point.
After the discussion, it is better to convey the information to Mr. Kant of the East County. After all, this kind of news needs to be decided by their lord himself. After all, the current strategy is to directly attack the South County.
The news came back the day after the army started to attack Nanjun.
Can.
This is Kant's answer.
At the same time, in Dongjun City, the capital of the Dongjun Territory, a troop of ten thousand infantry soldiers set off.
He soon joined the army of the North County Territory, bringing the strength of the overall army to about 35,000 people. In the Principality of Lions, it can be regarded as a very large army, and the general aristocratic coalition army can't reach the level.
There are no mercenaries among them, they are all troops of nobles, and they are assembled at the level of a national war!
But it is in the center of Lion Heart City and Lion Castle.
Countless farms.
A force of 20,000 men is on standby.
A lion with its teeth and claws fluttering on the flag, as well as various colors of family crests and flags belonging to the top nobles.
Apparently, during this period of time, the nobles of the South County Territory finally reacted, and all of them began to assemble, preparing for a decisive battle with Kant's coalition forces on the plains of the South County Territory.
Who will decide the decisive battle of the ownership of the Lion Principality!
