Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 475 Zhu Yunwen’s big plan

There are 25 minutes left before the Song Dynasty is established
***
On the street, Princess Jeanne was walking quickly with a group of Greek thugs.However, many people were obviously unwilling. Some people kept deliberately moving to both sides and behind, trying to escape intentionally.There were quite a few people who thought this way, and soon there was a large group of people, and the pace slowed down.The two knights following behind kept driving them away before they could move forward.

Despite this, these Greeks were still trying to escape, and the young knights who were left at the end were a little tired.After helping to drive back a few people who deliberately leaned back, two more people ran to the wall on the other side, trying to escape over the wall.He saw that the distance was a bit far, and there were many people in between, so he simply pretended not to see it and ignored it.

But the middle-aged knight next to him immediately slapped his horse and rushed over.The Greeks on the road had no time to escape and were knocked over several times. Some were directly trampled by horses. They screamed and then stopped. They probably would not survive.Rushing to the wall, the two people had already set up a ladder.The knight raised his hand and struck the one below with a hammer.The man above was already clinging to the wall. The knight hit him on the waist again, and the man screamed and fell down.

The other goons panicked and stopped in place.The middle-aged knight drove them away with curses.Seeing him raise the hammer again, the others immediately became honest.

However, the young knight seemed to have some different opinions.When he turned back and the two approached, the young knight couldn't help but whisper: "These Greeks have no fighting ability at all. Driving them to the battlefield will only drag us down. Those who keep trying to escape, see When it comes to real swords and guns, I'm afraid my legs will become weak. When the fight actually breaks out, we have to be distracted and keep an eye on them. Isn't this more troublesome?"

"I think it's better to let them go and leave those who have a little bit of courage and willingness. That's enough. Why don't we talk to the princess and stop rushing so many people?" he suggested.

"You think too simplistically." The middle-aged knight disagreed: "We don't care about their performance, but they care about each other. If you don't care about them, other people who don't have any thoughts will follow suit. There seem to be a lot of people here, but if we let ourselves go, they will all be gone soon.”

"Most people have no military ability, no fighting spirit, and no hope of training. You have never participated in a large-scale formal war before, so you may lack understanding of this kind of thing. You will know after you have experienced it a few times." He warned his descendants: "When I was serving the court, I was fortunate enough to witness several discussions. Some knowledgeable and distinguished gentlemen had long hoped to imitate the English and form a reliable civilian army. However, their attempts failed. It never worked out."

"By now, everyone can be convinced that people from different places have different military abilities. Just like today's French civilians are not suitable to be infantry, these Greeks are obviously not suitable either. I have always heard that the Roman Khanate has unique His military training skills can train unknown farmers into qualified warriors. As a result, the Roman Khanate did not recruit this group of people, which shows that they were originally ineffective. "

"I heard that a military government has also been established in northern Greece. People there can still serve as soldiers, and there are also troops who are very good at fighting." The young knight asked curiously: "They are all Greeks, why is there such a big gap? "

"Those who can accept the legion are not Greeks, but Romans." The middle-aged knight corrected: "If conditions permit, of course I also want to fight with those powerful warriors, but who makes us unable to do so now? select."

"Everyone hopes to enter the battle in perfect condition, but the reality is that war is not an ideal state. Every time you actually go to the battlefield, you must gather as much strength as you can."

"When we go to war with the Kingdom of England, we are often forced to start when both sides are ill-prepared. That's why they are exhausted and our orders are inconsistent. It seems that it is not about who can fight, but who is more powerful. It’s less shameful. Although these things violate the traditional rules of chivalry and do not conform to everyone’s romantic imagination of war and conquest, this is the reality.”

"So, it is relatively simple to become a simple warrior. But if you want to become a qualified knight and deal with various problems in war, you have to learn a lot of things other than combat. Don't underestimate these miscellaneous things You will definitely be able to use this technology at a critical moment."

"When I left my hometown, my family wanted me to get out of here. The few followers who followed me were also forced by life and could not survive without fighting. This was basically the case for the people we recruited. "The young knight said: "I really have no experience in driving people who are unwilling to go into battle."

"That's because you have never fought a tough battle. When the battle is fierce, soldiers have to face the sword and blood, and are tested by life and death at any time. Even people who are usually courageous will want to escape at this juncture; after experiencing severe Trained people are often frightened and helpless when they actually go to the battlefield. What about ordinary people?" The middle-aged knight shook his head: "It's hard to say whether people who are willing to fight can actually fight."

"Human nature is to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. This nature can defeat reason and often even cause people to ignore basic principles. You see, everyone knows that in a battle, the biggest casualties come from the collapse of one party. The resulting stampede and the ensuing chase. However, even if they know that they are more likely to survive if they persist and that they are more likely to die if they run away, most people still can't help but want to escape."

"So, we need the most determined people to supervise and supervise others. Repeatedly remind them to regain their senses and remind them that only by fighting can they have hope of living. And the most effective way to supervise is to use instinct Deal with instinct." He explained: "You kill the person who takes the lead in escaping in front of him, so that they directly feel a stronger death threat, and then they will temporarily regain their senses and remember what they should do."

"Is that so..."

"Although the methods may seem bloody, the battlefield is a place where life and death are decided, and moderate severity is necessary." The middle-aged knight said: "I don't know what the fighting will be like in the city now. If we let them do what they want, who knows what will happen." What are the consequences? We can only supervise the battle more strictly, so that they can at least defeat other unmanaged mobs. It is estimated that we will encounter a lot of such emergencies when we go out in the future. That’s why I say, this is also A military skill."

"I understand." The young knight nodded.

What else did he want to ask, but in front of him, someone suddenly rushed out and shouted directly at Princess Jeanne: "Princess, princess! You are here, come and take a look!" Princess Jeanne quickly looked over, Others also turned to look at him.I saw that a piece of his armor was broken, and his face was still bleeding, and he looked quite embarrassed.

"Has a thief been beaten first?" the princess asked hurriedly.

"No, it's because the people over there couldn't hold on." Lairenhui reported: "We asked the mercenaries to go in and arrest the people, but they actually opened fire directly. The two sides started fighting, and soon they were all too scared to evacuate. But we can’t get in. Let’s ask you quickly, what should we do now?”

"Where is Sir LeBournet?" Princess Jeanne asked back: "Didn't I ask him to take care of it? Whether it is negotiation or fighting, there should be results by now. How long has it been, and the storm should have killed people Caught him, what is he doing?"

"Sir LeBournet's helmet is too conspicuous." The visitor gestured on the helmet: "When the confrontation started, the man inside shot him, shattering the sculptures on the helmet. I also fainted from the shock, and I haven’t woken up yet!”

"Damn it, I told him not to bring ceremonial helmets to the battlefield, but he really didn't change it!" Princess Jeanne snapped her whip in anger: "Where are the others?"

"Antoine is in command, but the situation is very chaotic now. I don't think the mercenaries can hold on for long." The visitor urged: "Princess, please go quickly. I think only your flag can make everyone feel at ease! "

Princess Jeanne obviously didn't expect that what she thought was a small task that could be completed along the way would actually cause such a big incident, and even almost overturned the situation on the spot.

"Did they get temporary reinforcements from some force over there? Or did the Roman palace send guards to help? Did you see the flag?" She asked: "I originally thought that as long as we demonstrated, it would be solved..."

"No, we only saw King Wu's flag, and we didn't see any more reinforcements coming." The visitor shook his head: "The people inside are not regular Roman troops, we can be sure of this. They are not those making trouble either. They are Russians or Italians, so they should not be temporarily sent by other forces."

"The only permanent guard there is my unsatisfactory 'husband', a bunch of poor settlers and farmers randomly collected." Princess Jeanne told him: "He is like crazy, talking about how to deal with those local nobles every day. . But the royal family is powerless, and his own ability can only hold him back. The big nobles hate him, and the small nobles don't respect him. In the end, it becomes more and more outrageous, and he is reduced to the point where he can only count on a group of traffickers and lackeys to help him do big things. "

"Even the few people in Prince Wu's Mansion know that these people have no fighting ability. They just deal with them and arrange some jobs such as handymen for them to support their families. If they are really so good at fighting, it would be outrageous... ..." She shook her head, frowning and thinking.

"I heard that Easterners have always had strategies. Their ingenuity is so profound and varied that even the smartest Greeks cannot compare with it." The visitor reminded: "Could this be some conspiracy of King Wu?" Huh? Think about it, how could he, a prince of Seris, be so stupid? Could it be that this is all just pretending for a bigger plot? "

"He has this ability?" Princess Jeanne obviously didn't believe it: "He can come up with such a secret strategy, and successfully have it executed, and even get people here to cooperate secretly - what does he want to do?"

"No, we can't make blind guesses." She shook her head: "Things are too wrong. I have to go and see for myself. It just so happens that I also have reinforcements here."

"Hey. I originally thought it was easy over there. It's troublesome to deal with these Greek snakes. I don't know what went wrong." She muttered and shouted to the knights: "Let's speed up and get there quickly!"

"Yes!" Several knights responded one after another.

They quickly drove a group of Greek thugs to reinforce the Wu Palace.

　There are too many things in reality, I'm sorry...
