From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 239 Silver Wolf Fortress【4K】

"See Your Royal Highness."

The knight at the door suddenly shouted respectfully.

Everyone got up quickly, and looked towards the door with their eyes in unison.

At the gate, a burly figure wearing heavy armor strode over. The person who came was outstanding in appearance and extraordinary in martial arts. There was a faint shadow of Constantine II between his brows.

The prince walked quickly to the conference table and sat down at the first place without hesitation.

The nobleman who knew his identity immediately saluted and said, "See Your Highness the Third Prince."

Ryan suddenly realized, and hurriedly saluted.

From the corner of his eyes, he kept looking at the other party: "So this is the third prince who has good military skills but is rumored to be suspicious. It seems that he has lost a little bit of extravagance and has a little more military atmosphere." '

Although this man has obvious shortcomings, he is undoubtedly much better than the big prince who is a military idiot.

However, His Majesty the King in the palace did not allow the eldest prince who is the crown prince to come to the army to be gilded, but instead sent the third prince. This operation is a bit intriguing.

The third prince, Hanson Constantine, walked around the crowd, then pressed his hands and said, "Everyone, please sit down. We are on the battlefield now. There are no third princes, only the governor of the coalition forces."

"Yes, Your Excellency Governor." Naturally, everyone tried their best to cooperate, and then sat down in their seats in an orderly manner, with their heads raised and their chests raised without looking sideways.

After all, no one wants to leave a bad impression in the heart of the governor.

Hanson first said a long paragraph of unnutritious opening remarks, which were nothing more than words to win people's hearts, and it took him a long time to get to the point.

"Everyone, the Marshal has given us the task of capturing the Silver Wolf Fortress 150 miles away from the Ironclad Fortress and the surrounding ancillary areas within the next three months.

Time is tight and tasks are heavy, so the governor will not beat around the bush. The governor will personally lead the main army to besiege the Silver Wolf Fortress. In addition, three generals will be selected to guard the Iron Armored Fortress, transport food and grass, and clear the subordinate areas of the Silver Wolf Fortress. "

Hansen pointed to the marked area on the map, and said in high spirits.

Hearing that Hansen was about to go to the battlefield in person, everyone present looked at each other, and they all saw the worry in each other's eyes.

Swords have no eyes on this battlefield. If the prince accidentally lands on the battlefield, will the people present have any good fruit to eat?
The answer was obvious, but it was difficult for everyone to speak. After all, His Royal Highness was too suspicious, and no one wanted to be the first bird.

In the end, a prestigious old viscount stood up and gently persuaded him: "Your Highness, leave the matter of attacking the fortress to us. You are the governor of the first army, so it is better to dispatch in the middle of the armored fortress."

Hearing this, Hansen raised his sword eyebrows. Is this questioning him?He was about to get angry, but when he thought about the identity and qualifications of the other party, he finally said coldly: "As a commander, I naturally have to go to the front line in person. This matter is settled like this, and there is no need to talk about it."

This is really a bit embarrassing, the old Viscount sat back with a dark face.

Seeing this, everyone swallowed their words of persuasion. This prince is a bastard who eats weights—if he is determined, it is better not to go up and get angry.

However, Hansen was very satisfied with the current state of the crowd. He glanced around and finally set his sights on a viscount at the end and said, "Viscount Norgay, you are responsible for transporting food to the front line."

Transporting grain is a drudgery that no one cares about. After all, what counts in a war is military exploits. If you win the grain transport team, you can still follow behind to drink some soup and do hard work.

If you lose, let alone drink soup, there is no northwest wind.

Viscount Norgay accepted the order with a dark face. The transportation of food is usually done by mob troops, and the opponent directly ordered his generals. Isn't this saying that he is the one at the bottom?

Everyone looked at him with sympathy, but they laughed in their hearts. After all, someone took over the bitter job of transporting food.

"Viscount Brumman, you are responsible for assisting in guarding the Ironclad Fortress. This is our base camp. If there is a problem, I will ask you."

Ryan suddenly felt that the rumors about the third prince were wrong. This is not a serious suspicion, it is even more narrow-minded. No, the old Viscount who got up to persuade him just now was thrown here to sit on the bench.

You know, this Viscount Brumman is not simple. He has fought for decades in his life, made a lot of military exploits, and his military ability can be said to be outstanding.

The [-] soldiers under his command are all the elite of the Southern Border Legion, a proper main force, but now they have a job to defend the city, which is not much better than transporting food.

Viscount Brumman's face was as dark as the bottom of the pot. If it wasn't for the fact that the backstage behind him was not strong enough, he would have left his face and left. How could he continue to be bullied by him here.

Meeting his eyes, Hansen felt secretly relieved, if he was not worried that he would deliberately retaliate if he was asked to transport food, he would definitely throw him into the food transport team.

In his opinion, sitting on the bench in the fortress is already cheap for him, and this is the consequence of questioning him.

Up to now, there is only one leftover. Hansen looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on Ryan. There is no way, Ryan is the youngest person present, and it is difficult not to notice him.

"Are you Viscount Black? You will lead the troops to clean up the subordinate areas around the Silver Wolf Fortress. The governor will also give you three months."

What Hansen wanted was the great credit of capturing the fortress. For him, the others were just leftovers, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

If he wants to attack the fortress, he will naturally bring the most elite troops. In his opinion, Ryan is the kind of useless second-rate army, just throw it aside and pick up garbage to eat.

This order may be dissatisfied to others, but it is simply not suitable for Ryan.

The third prince didn't look like a friendly person at first glance, it's better to stay as far away from him as possible. Fighting under his command, no matter how you look at it, it's unreliable. What if you let yourself be cannon fodder?
This job is still better. Although the income is low, the risk is also low. It can just hone the rookies under his command, and the most important thing is to have autonomy.

It seems that the meaning of the third prince is to let Ryan fend for himself. This is just right, there are no extra constraints, and Ryan can play freely.

Although he was happy in his heart, Ryan still pretended to be unconvinced and received the military order. His acting skills are now at their peak, and no one present has seen any flaws.

After the meeting was adjourned, Ryan returned to the temporary station and passed on the order, and the troops rested for a few days before preparing to leave.

Since the objectives of the battle are different, he doesn't have to follow the main force to act. When the main force starts to besiege the fortress, he will lead the team to attack the surrounding cities.

Seven days later, more than [-] troops marched out from the north gate of the Iron Armored Fortress, and raided the Silver Wolf Fortress. The Silver Wolf Fortress had already been prepared, and the battle fell into a stalemate.

On the same day, Ryan led nearly [-] people from the Ninth Army from the west gate of the iron-clad fortress, and split into two groups on the way. The main general Ryan led an army straight to Tumen City, where there is a large granary with a large amount of food stored, so we must go first Take it down.

Lieutenant General Allen led an army and went straight to Batur City, which is an important transportation hub and extends in all directions. Occupying it can radiate the surrounding area in a short time. The strategic location is very important.

Since Ryan intentionally launched the attack later than the main force led by Hansen, by the time they led the attack, Tumen City had already sent a force to support the Silver Wolf Fortress.

Ryan's speed was fast and ruthless, and he directly took advantage of the magician team in the army, fought fiercely for two days and nights, and took down the granary at the cost of nearly a thousand casualties.

It's just that after entering the city, the remaining Andis soldiers set fire to the granary. Although the rescue was timely, nearly half of the grain reserves were lost.

Even so, the remaining food here is enough to feed the entire army of 6 people for a long time.

It was smooth sailing on his side, and Allen took down the city of Batur without any surprises, and a large amount of supplies stored in the city that could not be transported away all fell into Ryan's pockets.

According to the laws of the kingdom, Ryan can dispose of the spoils seized on the battlefield by himself.

After Ryan asked Allen to take out a part to reward the army, the rest unceremoniously put it into his pocket.

In a short period of time, the Ninth Legion has taken down two key cities, and the gains are not small, which makes Ryan feel even more grateful.

Fortunately, Jean assigned himself here. If he were to attack the fortress, he probably wouldn't even be able to touch the city gates in such a short time, let alone the loot.

After resting for a few days, the army used Tumen City and Batur City as springboards, and began to eliminate the surrounding targets at fixed points. From the city to the small town, they pushed all over without encountering much decent resistance.

Ryan and Allen went north all the way. They had a good time, but the main force attacking the Silver Wolf Fortress fell into a stalemate. After more than half a month, there were more than a dozen battles, and none of them attacked the city wall.

Because he had expected that he would be the target of the attack, the commander of the Silver Wolf Fortress had mobilized troops from nearby cities to defend the fort.

The defenders, who were originally only more than 1, swelled to nearly 3.

To be honest, in terms of numbers, the expeditionary army actually had no advantage. After all, the fortress was extremely strong, and it would be difficult to capture it without doubling its strength.

The originally ambitious third prince was thwarted in the first battle, and he became irritable for a while, but fortunately, he didn't lose his head and make some wrong action instructions.

But it's not a solution to go on like this. After all, he only has three months. Although the Grand Duke of the Northern Territory won't do anything to him if he can't finish it on time, he can't accept it himself.

After finally gaining access to the military power, this is the only capital he can compete with his elder brother for the crown prince in the future. If he can't make achievements this time, then he doesn't have to covet that throne anymore.

Therefore, Hansen began to harass tactics day and night, feinting to attack the fortress with a small number of troops each time, but pretending to be suspicious in the rear, so that the enemy could not figure out the reality and could only respond passively.

If they go all out, then their energy is not enough, or they will collapse in a few days, and the fortress will naturally fall in one battle.

If they don't take it to heart and defend the city with a small amount of troops every time, then the suspicious soldiers will come true.

This tactic is not clever, but it is more effective. At the beginning, it really made the Silver Wolf Fortress exhausted, but they soon found a way to break it, and the battle was once again at a stalemate.

At this time, Ryan and Allen had already led the team to sweep most of the targets on the map.

Now he has delegated all the next goals to Allen and the rest of the legion commanders, and even the few staff officers accompanying the army have had the opportunity to practice in actual combat.

Ryan himself sat in Tumen City and started a vigorous liberation movement.

The Kingdom of Andis is a country with distinct classes. It is similar to the system of a certain third brother of Blue Star. People of low class will never have the opportunity to cross classes in this country.

Kahn, who was wanted by them, is a good example. He doesn't even have a last name, and he is at the bottom of the entire kingdom, that is, a slave.

In the kingdom's system, he and his blood can only be slaves, even if he has combat talents, slaves can only be slaves.

And there are a lot of people like Kahn in Andis, especially in this border city known for its bitter cold.

Ryan, now is to be their savior, willing to take up arms and submit to him, and follow him, Ryan will organize him into the servant army and beat him.

It was easy to be unwilling. Ryan released them all, preached democratic ideas to them, gave them food and clothing, and treated them as human beings.

Then, he distributed rations to these people and sent them all back to the city controlled by the Andes.

Of course, he is not full and has nothing to do. If you say that these slaves who are used to being oppressed directly take up arms and rebel, this is obviously making things difficult for them.

However, after such an operation as Ryan, things are different.

After they return to the city controlled by the Andes, their status will not change in any way, and it will even become lower, and they will be further exploited by the nobles.

The fish kept in the fish tank can only understand the value of freedom after experiencing freedom.

At this time, the theories that Ryan preached to them before will take root and sprout like a seed. As long as one person stands up, more people will stand up.

Ryan doesn't know exactly how effective it will be, but it's just a matter of convenience. It's not bad to be able to disgust Andis, after all, he really doesn't have a little favor for this country.

In the past two months, he has freed almost 10,000+ slaves. It can only be said that they have indeed become numb. Of these people, less than 5000 are willing to take up arms.

Ryan picked and picked again, and finally left 3000 people to be incorporated into the servant army. The rest of the people were not wasted, and Ryan gave them some food and weapons and let them go.

It was just doing it casually, but a few years later, it was this humble team that set off waves of blood and blood in the Kingdom of Andes, and finally caused this ancient kingdom to fall apart.

Of course, this is all for later, Ryan is currently watching the latest instruction from the third prince, which reads: "Silver Wolf Fortress is broken, please General Black lead the army to encircle."
