Of course, it is impossible for the South County leader to sit back and watch the troops of the North County leader attack.
The previous evasion and compromise began on the day of the fall of Marsburg, and they announced the importance of the South County Territory, especially those high-ranking nobles who represented the South County Territory.
Hitting the Nanjun leader hard is tantamount to hitting them hard.
Just in hundreds of years.
These high-ranking nobles have been bound together with the South County leader.
Even to a certain extent, the attack of the Yinpan Kingdom was not resisted by the Grand Duke of the Lion, but by the high-ranking nobles who had completely rooted their families in South County, and were unwilling to be uprooted from their own strength.
Now facing the aristocratic army of the North County, the troops of the South County have finally assembled.
The troops of 20,000 people are neat and elite.
Headed by 5000 knights.
Supplemented by 15,000 knight attendants and corresponding horse attendants.
All of them are cavalry units, which are extremely mobile. This is also the most proud unit of the Lion Principality.
In the battle against the Yinpan Kingdom, it was these highly mobile cavalry units that cut off the Yinpan Kingdom's infantry supply line, interspersed with raids back and forth, and defeated the enemy army that had a numerical and elite advantage.
In the plains, the cavalry is the king, and the infantry is just a target!
The leading Viscount Nanjun is very confident.
But he is not arrogant.
This is the bottom line.
The training from a high-ranking aristocratic family gave him extremely high strength in commanding troops.
He is over 35 years old, and now he doesn't have the arrogance of a young man. He just regards this battle as his gilded mission. If he completes it well, then he will be the new viscount who protects the safety of the South County Territory.
If you fight crisply and win well, it is not impossible to become an earl with your military exploits.
And these are also the unspoken rules of the nobles.
Support him to the top.
This battle is the best cornerstone for him to gain the top position.
Sometimes mutual compromise, but can create someone's success.
Thinking about the next step, maybe there will be a marriage. The young viscount of a high-ranking noble family in the South County has already smiled at the corner of his mouth. No matter which family he marries, he can go a step further.
Maybe after defeating the hillbillies in the North County, he can still take charge of the barren wilderness.
Although the land is barren.
But the salt mines from the Nalun Desert are good stuff.
Even the senior nobles from South County are salivating.
The reason why there has been no attack is that they are worried about the surprise attack of the Yinpan Kingdom. After all, the Lion Principality now faces this old enemy. If it is not careful, the entire Principality will be annexed into three new Yinpan Kingdoms. County, this is not what they want to see.
But now, the North Commander has taken the initiative to attack, so they, who belong to the defensive counterattack, can easily defeat the invading troops, and then counterattack into the North Commander and the Nalun Desert to gain more profits!
They are bound to win that salt mine!
...
The plains of the South County Territory.
Numerous farms are being evacuated, and many serfs and free people are fleeing the flames of war.
But they didn't go far. This battle was destined to be won. The prestige of the Nanjun leader still reverberated in their hearts. The most important thing was that the elite of the Lion Principality had never disappointed.
Even if the group of nobles from Beijun came to attack, maybe they were just here to die!
Wasn't that the case with the Silver Plate Kingdom back then
Now.
There were also serfs on some farms.
It was a prisoner of war captured by the nobles of the South County of the Lion Principality after the defeat of the Yinpan Kingdom.
Instead of being exchanged back, they became serfs tormenting day and night on the farm, eating the worst food, being treated as humanoid livestock, and finally exhausted to death on the farm, and even their bodies were buried in the ground to increase fat.
The defeated have no human rights to speak of, let alone the defeated of the aggressor.
So how the battle situation has nothing to do with them.
It doesn't matter who has the upper hand.
They are just serfs.
No one cares about them, and no one wants to rescue them.
Perhaps the Silver Plate Kingdom is still waiting for the next attack, but when the time comes, whether they are alive or not is another matter, especially those slave owners or farmers who have abused them. In order to kill people, they will definitely hang these serfs first.
The Yinpan Kingdom is also happy to see its success. After all, some prisoners of war have become serfs, which is a bit embarrassing.
It's just that there were voices among this group of serfs.
Commanders of the past.
As long as it is not dead.
They are all secretly connected in series, after all, the farms are all interconnected.
Some serfs also became small chiefs. They secretly arranged for a few serfs to go out to work, and it was very easy to pass news to each other. Soon, within half a month, all the serfs knew the news.
No one betrayed, because the rest of them were the ones who suffered the most.
if it is possible.
No one wants to continue living like this!
What's more, how could this group of prisoners who were themselves the Silver Plate Kingdom be willing to die here forever
Just when the South County leader organized troops to wipe out the North County leader's troops, these serfs also began to organize spontaneously. More than 5,000 people were distributed among the various farms of the South County leader, carefully collecting any supplies.
Including specially sharpened pitchforks and sickles, fairly solid planks and tattered cloth and animal hides.
And the black bread left every day.
Pitchforks and sickles can be used as weapons.
Planks can be crafted into shields.
Animal skins washed with feces and urine and dried in the sun are equivalent to leather made from tanning, which is a good armor.
Everything is in the process of preparation, but the small actions of these serfs have not been seen by the management who were originally superior, or for them, it is impossible for the serfs to rebel.
The Nanjun leader is so powerful that even the Yinpan Kingdom has been repelled. The mere serf wants to rebel
What a joke!
Nobody takes it seriously.
A group of people can't eat enough and don't wear warm clothes, and they have to work hard all day doing farm work.
Even eating meat is an extremely luxurious thing, how could it be possible to have the physical strength to make these serfs rebel
However, these senior men in the management did not expect that the wealth of the Nanjun collar has exceeded their imagination. At least, the black bread is full, and it is so luxurious that there is no sawdust in it.
These black breads are only eaten by wealthy freemen in the North County Territory.
Meat can be eaten as long as voles or water snakes are caught.
South County Territory is really a good place.
These seemingly tired, dejected and thin serfs are actually tight muscles, and the fatigue is only consumed by the high-intensity farm work every day.
Once they stop farming.
back.
It will be a group of rebels who are unwilling to overthrow the Nanjun leader, full of hatred, and composed of serfs!
