Tang Qi Tan

The next moment, Lisius chased out of the gate, and he saw with astonishment that those wolf-skin warriors who had always been known as one against ten during the Norman invasion and the internal conflicts of the North Rhine United were like paper puppets. Swept by a small group of plate armor knights with halberds, axes and spears.

Their superb fighting skills and extraordinary bravery have not had time to display one or two; even the people with long-handled broadswords and iron-inlaid shields were smashed and knocked into the air, and slammed into various parts of the Bishop's Palace like rolling balls Between the pillars and the walls, those whose limbs were broken and who vomited blood could not rise again.

Occasionally, there are wolf-skin warriors who are aroused fiercely, howling sharply like wild animals; regardless of casualties, rushing through the gap between the halberd, ax and gun, clinging to the back and shoulders of a certain plate knight, using a knife He stabbed the gap between the armor and the dagger, and was sent flying by some kind of vibration.

Some plate armored knights even swung the revolving weapons hanging under their arms, and sprayed a cloud of flames, iron slag, and lead on the armor of their companions; The wolf-skin warriors on the ground were bombarded so that their flesh and blood flew all over the place, and they were swept away...

"The inheritance knights of the kingdom! Aren't they already declining..." Li Xius almost groaned and ran inward without hesitation, tearing off his armor and robes at the same time.The next moment, he was knocked unconscious by the body flying from behind.

Half an hour later, Jiang Tian also entered the Bishop's Palace, which was the residence of the former Northwest Archbishop and is now the stronghold of the royal party and the puppet court.One after another, captives covered in blood and minced meat knelt down in the corridor with their hands behind their backs, being inspected by Jiang Tian.Farfner explained:

"Your Majesty, our soldiers have successfully captured the Earl of Trier and most of the members of his puppet court; now they are being screened by Antoine."

"In addition, we also found the bodies of the Earl of Namur, the leader of the army, and the Viscount Stella of the Luxembourg Army; we captured the head of Bratban's regiment, including five regiment leaders and 27 company leaders;"

"However, I later found out that last night when the city was breached, the Grand Duke Bratban, under the escort of the Brussels Guards and the Silver Wolf Knights, abandoned most of the army and supplies, and escaped through the northern city gate."

"It's just that when our assault knight team arrived inside the bishop's palace, they found that the 'Marianne' who pretended to be the queen was still hanging out with her lover... So, some unseemly things happened."

"Father!" Guilmond said loudly and eagerly, "You haven't shown yourself since you came back; of course you don't know that during this time, the enemy has already destroyed Namur, forcing deposed Luxembourg, and occupied most of our lands."

"If you can't pull yourself together again and continue to lead us to make the right decisions..." Gilmond said this, hesitated for a while and said: "Those nobles, knights and family vassals who lost their territories and castles, must Abandon our family and seek a way out on our own."

"Actually, my memories of my hometown are not so good." Athos twitched his face shyly and said: "Basically, there are only hunger, poverty, and non-stop fighting; the only way out is I followed my elders and my fellow countrymen, and lived by licking blood with swords."

But the bad news is that, apart from the fact that Princess Teresia was taken away by unknown forces during the Blood Moon Incident, her whereabouts are still unknown; The siege network is just like the governments of previous dynasties.

"Therefore, I would also like to thank Your Majesty for allowing my old village to move to a good place in the kingdom; I would also like to thank you for letting our fellow countrymen go back to their respective villages, killing those lords and tax collectors, and giving money to those who are poor. Down-and-out young people, a new way out."

However, the vassals whose names were called did not reply; instead, Qi Qi took a few steps back, revealing a figure wearing a polished plate breastplate and carrying a patterned battle axe.He is the eldest son of the Duke of Brabant, the current Viscount of Brussels, and the head of the guard Guilmond.

Afterwards, Falfner, who was full of disdain and disdain, pushed open the door of the innermost bedroom with his own hands.The mixed breath of vomiting, excrement and body fluids also made Jiang Tian's expression a little complicated.After a while, he also got good news and bad news.

A week later, in the hinterland of the Principality of Brabant, in the golden field where the waves of wheat billowed and the wind wafted the fragrance.Under the fluttering banner of the smiling face and scorching sun, the endless winding forest of spear halberds, sword and shield fighters, musketeers, and horse-drawn artillery carts marched to the distant city of Brussels amid drums and military songs.

"Waterloo?" Jiang Tian was a little bit embarrassed when he heard the name. Isn't this the place where the emperor of another time and space was finally defeated in the Hundred Days Restoration?It's just that in this time and space, there may be no more allusions related to Waterloo. "It is allowed to set up camp, but there is no rush to attack."

Meanwhile, the Egmont Palace in Brussels.The door of the dormitory, which had been locked tightly since the return of the Duke of Brabant, was knocked forcefully from the outside again.However, the Duke of Brabant, who was covered in sweat and mustache, struggled from a pile of wine bottles.

"Your Majesty, our outpost cavalry company has arrived, in the town of Waterloo not far from Brussels." Athos from Brabant, a major of the military police on duty, reported in a low voice: "Please tell your Majesty, do you want to arrange camping on the spot?" land, and launch a tentative attack?"

And supporting the Earl of Trier to intervene in the civil strife in the Kingdom of Zealand, and supporting the fake Princess Teresia in the northern province; it is just one of a series of operations in this conspiracy and planning.But then Jiang Tian laughed. After all, this is the only way to be challenging and potentially fun.

And on the vast land behind, there are billowing columns of smoke rising one after another; there is also a banner with a brightly colored coat of arms running around.That was the army from the princes of the Netherlands and their vassals, and they were going deep into the road like locusts, looting the remaining towns and villages.

The good news is that Marianne I, who has only been on the throne for a week, is not a real member of the royal family, Princess Teresia; she is just a poor wretch who was supported by people with ulterior motives to attract and gather the remnants of the royal party.In this way, Ms. Malena can at least feel at ease.

There are even groups of soldiers and civilians from other regions sweating profusely to harvest the wheat that these towns and villages have no time to harvest; they have turned into teams of vehicles and animals on the road and gathered at the designated place of the Royal Army. In the stronghold, it will be exchanged for the corresponding reward.

"It turned out to be you! Kit, my child." Seeing this, the Duke of Brabant narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Are you so eager to surpass me and sit on the throne in the court? You At what point did they all become your accomplices..."

The thickly carved silk facade was suddenly split open with an ax in the midst of short and intense movements.Then along the ever-expanding gap, an arm with a lace sleeve stretched in, lifted the remaining lock inside the door, and pushed it open forcefully.

"No, father, or your lord duke." However, Gilmond, who was tall and brown with curly hair, dropped his tomahawk and knelt down without hesitation: "I just want you to know one thing, The enemy has approached our capital, and you need to make a decision."

In fact, among the countries in the Western Continent, there are only a handful of people who have the ability and sufficient resources to invest in and operate such things. Coupled with the origin of the North Rhine Union and the Duchy of Saxony, it is basically a guess. .The next step is to take advantage of the victory to expand the results.

"Damn it..." The Duke of Brabant, who was still drunk, saw the familiar faces of his subjects gathered outside the door, and couldn't help scolding loudly with his fingers: "Carl! Alb! Recht! What do you want to do? What, do you want to murder the sworn lord?"

Compared with another time and space, the Gallic chicken that has become the source of daily milk jokes; as a newly born kingdom regime, if it has not been tempered by foreign encirclement networks and joint intervention forces several times, how can it gather the centripetal force of the same enemy and shape it? What about the national concept?

——I am the dividing line of the plot——

"These days, we have lost Salef, Neveden and Forelius, Landon one after another..., our cities, towns, and villages have been looted, even the manors and castles of the vassal knights Not spared, our subjects weep in suffering..."

"Decision? What decision?" However, the Duke of Brabant shook his drunken head when he heard the words, and asked back: "Didn't I already entrust the defense of Brussels and the handling of subsequent matters to you?" ? Otherwise, why are you threatening my court?"

"By the way, Athos." Jiang Tian looked at Kong Wu in front of him with interest, and said with great interest, "I heard that you were also a mercenary from Brabant. I don’t know if I revisit the old place now, what are my feelings and experiences?”

"A way out? Are they going to start a rebellion? Or use my head to curry favor with those heretics?" The Duke of Brabant suddenly woke up and sneered: "Let them come anyway, at least I still have Brussels , and the general public who support me.”

"My lord duke!" Guilmond said anxiously, "Don't you still believe the nonsense of that unknown woman and count on the North Rhine and Saxon troops to arrive in time for rescue? None of our fortresses and cities have How long can you block the enemy..."

"The self-defense regiment and guerrilla company formed by the nobles and knights of the principality also suffered heavy losses in the battle with the princes of the Netherlands; even a large number of local residents were relocated abroad; some people were even lured by the enemy, and Be an accomplice in the destruction of our country."

"Then... what do you want?" The Duke of Brabant had calmed down completely, and asked with a complicated expression: "Is it the cession of land and compensation? Or deprivation of the title? More stringent suzerain vassal clauses?...Besides, what else?" Are there any additional conditions?"

"In any case, as long as we can start negotiations with the other party." Gilmond was also relieved when he heard the words, and reluctantly said: "It's just a prerequisite, you need to announce your abdication and live in seclusion in order to send troops to invade the kingdom's territory and support the kingdom's rebellion Be responsible for your actions."
