Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

Chapter 437: Quarrel

"Why are you here?" The Great Sword Master Sandi returned to his residence, and was surprised to find that Great Swordsman was sitting in front of the fireplace drinking tea.

This is the Sakura Ridge Manor. Since Sandi's Great Swordsman received a letter from Princess Silvia and knew that she was pregnant, he drove over from Huju Castle, and sent Grand Duke Feisabrun to the family territory. The order was ignored, and she stayed with Princess Silvia. It wasn't until Lorist came back that the Great Sword Master Sandi didn't want to meet with him before returning to his residence.

"I came back with Lorist." Grand Duke Fesabrun replied, "By the way, how is Silvia's situation?"

"It's not bad, it's about a month or so to give birth. Now that guy is back, she is so happy that she doesn't even care about my foster mother..." The Great Sword Master Sandi complained very uncomfortably.

"Hehe, you are so old and still eat the vinegar of juniors?" Grand Duke Feisabrun laughed: "Come, sit with me, we haven't been together for a long time."

The Grand Sword Master Sandi walked over, sat down on Duke Feisabrun, and then got into Duke's warm embrace. Every time two people are together, the Great Sword Master Sandi becomes like a little girl, extremely attached to the Grand Duke.

"Is it very tired to drive so far in such a heavy snowstorm?" The Great Sword Master Sandi stretched out his hand to stroke Grand Duke Feisabrun's face.

Grand Duke Feisabrun sighed: "You must not believe it, I am not hard at all. I came from Westwood with Lorist, day and night, and it took only four days and three nights... …"

"It's impossible!" The Great Swordsman Sandi said with shock and suspicion: "There are several provinces to pass along the way, I count, Westwood, Perolina, Fryward, Chixes Provinces, Meishan Province, Limad Province, Southern Province, Winston Province, and finally Northland. You see, even if you ride a horse day and night, it takes at least one day and one night to pass through a province. There are nine provinces in total and it’s still such a snowstorm. The weather, how could it take this time..."

"It's true, I didn't lie to you." Grand Duke Feishabrun lowered his head and kissed the face of Grand Sword Master Sandi, who sneered and hid in Grand Duke's arms.

"You never thought that when we came back, we did not ride horses, but used sleigh carts. Except for the sling and packhorse towing on the mountain road, the downhill and plain areas actually used sails. I never thought that sails were actually used. It can be used on land. And the heavier the blizzard, the faster the sled will run, almost like a gallop, and the scenery along the way flashes by, making it hard to see.

Lorist said that the Norton family of sleds like this has also done two tests, the main purpose of which is to verify the power problem of snow transportation in winter. The one we are in is one of them, but at present, the transportation of small batches of goods is okay, and the heavy load requires animal power to assist in hauling. "Grand Duke Fisabrun seemed to be very touching.

"That guy likes to use these wicked and crooked methods." Sandi Grand Sword Master said.

"The evil way? Hehe, you underestimated these things." Grand Duke Feisabrun was a little depressed: "I now understand that when he attacked our family, his subordinates had mercilessly let me go. If it weren't for fear of extinction. If the grass barbarian cavalry on the northeastern prairie is uncontrollable in the Fissabrun family, he would have directed his troops at the tiger's castle long ago.

Don’t say anything about the vast population of the Eastern Desolation Province. The border rangers are brave and good at fighting and good at guerrillas. As long as the soldiers of our family are nestled in the castle for the winter, the Norton family is entirely possible to use the sled. Transporting troops to encircle the castle and take it in one fell swoop. When that happens, we will not even be able to escape, and we can only catch with our hands. "

The Great Sword Master Sandi widened his eyes in surprise: "No, you have such a pessimistic time, is this sled car really so amazing?"

"This is not a problem with sled vehicles. Although the sled vehicles are really suitable for use on the endless prairie, especially the snow-covered grassland in winter. But I mean the concept. Compared with the Norton family, the Fisabrun family More conservative, there are few outstanding talents in the next generation who have the ability to innovate and accept.

By the way, just six days ago, the Flying Tigers of the Norton family used the cover of heavy snow and used skis to capture the defensive position of the Weilongni Pass. I witnessed the battle with my own eyes. Watching Lorist riding on a snowboard and leading the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Legion, they flashed across the white snowy field and appeared behind the defensive position.

I believe that the Red Dragon Corps of the Principality of Handra, which guards the defense position of the mountain pass, would never expect that the enemy would appear behind them in such a wind and snow. Because of several heavy snowstorms, the entire mountain area has accumulated a lot of snow, but the hills that are usually difficult to climb have become smooth with the help of snowboards, so that Lorist can perform unexpected attacks.

The Red Dragon Legion was defeated, and they didn't even understand how the enemy appeared. Nearly a hundred trebuchets at the mountain pass fell into our hands unscathed, and only a handful of enemies escaped. The defensive position that had been in a stalemate with us for eight months was captured, but the Flying Tigers suffered very few casualties. I finally believed Lorester's words. He said that winter has no effect on their family's armed forces. On the contrary, the heavier the snow, the more help they are..."

"Then you can also train our Fiesabrunn family's armed forces for winter training! You should be able to do what that fellow can do." Sandi Grand Sword Master comforted.

Grand Duke Feisabrun smiled bitterly: "I said, this is a matter of concept. I have carefully observed the equipment of the Flying Tiger Corps soldiers and their actions when executing offensive orders. This is not something that can be done with a period of training, but rather Winter training can only be achieved after years of accustomed to.

Every soldier has special warm and cold clothing. They know how to not lose their way in a blizzard, how to hide in the snow, and even how to avoid snow blindness and maintain physical strength and body temperature. .

I really can’t believe that Lorester has put such a large capital on their family’s armed forces, and I have also asked them, not only the soldiers of the Flying Tigers have to undergo winter training, but all their families. Armed forces must receive the same training. "

Grand Duke Fesabrunn sighed: "I have always been pretentious, dreaming of creating a legendary era belonging to the Fesabrunn family. But now I find that it is nothing compared to Lorester, whether it is personal or family armed forces. It's not his opponent. It's not that I am discouraged, but that the gap is too big.

It is so unfortunate for me to appear such a neighbor next to the family territory. The only thing that makes me happy is that this kid married my granddaughter and became my junior. As long as I stay safe, at least I don't have to worry about the end of my family if I am away. Seeing Silvia’s face, this kid will reach out to us..."

...

On January 11, 1783 of the Gailint subcontinent, the mother of the Norton family and Princess Cilivia, the wife of the Grand Duke of the North, Norton Lorist, gave birth to a big fat boy at Sakura Ridge Manor. It was named Anderber by Lorist, which means peaceful bear in ancient Elvish language.

After the rainy season, messengers from the Second Highness rushed to the Northland one after another. Their mission was to urge Lorist to return to the front lines of Westwood Province. Grand Duke Feisabrun left after the rainy season. After all, he captured the Weilongni Pass at the end of last year, which opened the door to the Principality of Handra. I don't know if the four great princes in the central region will jump over the wall in a hurry. Archduke Fisabrun hurried back, worried about the situation on the battlefield. And Lorist pretended to accompany Princess Silvia, mother and son, and refused to return to the front line.

It was not until May that Lorist packed up his clothes and returned to the front line. The two His Royal Highnesses were a little frustrated, and the urging letters sent were getting more and more noisy. If it weren't for the king's demeanor, Lorist wondered if he would. I was swearing in the letter.

Sure enough, the battle on the front line was like a mess. The capture of the Weilongni Pass was an unexpected surprise to the Second Highness. When receiving the report, Lorist had already returned to the family territory, because it was an excuse for Duke Silvia’s main production, and the Second Highness was helpless. . When the Second Highness rushed to the front line in the wind and snow, he quickly learned that it was the skis he had valued before that made the Flying Tigers accomplish this great achievement.

In the swampy area of ​​Egret Lake, the Second Highness had seen Lorister using skis to walk like flying in the snow, and he also learned to use and make skis. But he forgot one of the most important things. When he wanted to form a raid force that would use snowboards in winter, he realized that all members of this force need to be equipped with expensive warm and cold clothing.

Lorist was able to equip his family with a warm and cold-proof clothing for every soldier. Thanks to the wave of Warcraft that year, millions of Warcraft were wiped out, because too much fur was harvested and there was a lack of mass sales channels. , So simply use these precious Warcraft fur to equip the family armed with winter operations clothing.

The Second Highness did not have the fur of these monsters. He found that it would be a huge financial burden to let every soldier in the army have such a warm and cold-proof clothes for going out in winter. So for the sake of the wallet, this winter raid force that was about to be formed died without a problem...

His Royal Highness II was envious of the soldiers' personal equipment of the Flying Tiger Legion, but he knew that Lorist had money. He really wants to let the Flying Tigers continue their experience and continue to attack and expand the results in the winter. But Tiger Rose rejected his proposal, even if he was the king. Tiger Rose said solemnly to His Highness that Lorist's order was to hold on to the Weilongni Pass, so as not to be counter-attacked by the enemy and forfeit his efforts. What's more, the use of skis can only take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to make a surprise. Now that the enemy has understood that he is naturally prepared, further attacks will cause heavy damage...

It's nonsense. What if the enemy is prepared to take you? It is impossible for them to brave the heavy snow and stay in the trenches waiting for your attack, otherwise they will have to freeze a group to death before confronting them. Who would have your perfect warm and cold clothing that can survive the wind, snow and cold weather. Come and go freely in the snow. It is a pity that the Flying Tiger Legion is not his direct army, but the Norton family armed forces. The Tiger Rose's refusal of his order is justified.

The Second Highness suffocated his stomach and returned, secretly vowing that even if the last gold coin was spent, he would form a raid force that could be deployed in winter. But now he can only watch the fighters being wasted for nothing. So as soon as the rainy season passed, he kept sending messengers to urge Lorist to return to the front line. Why are you staying in the family territory after your child was born? Get back soon!

The capture of the Veyronne Pass means that most of Westwood Province is under the front of the army of the Antinac Kingdom. But the Principality of Handra lost the favorable defensive terrain of the Yunduan Mountains and could only retreat more than two hundred miles. Fortunately, there are several low mountains there, which were once the line of defense against the prince's invasion of the four principalities in central China. The several legions that had retreated there relied on the defensive positions left in the past to reset their second line of defense.

At present, there are six legions in front of the offensive, and the four princes in the middle have almost put all their forces on this second line of defense. The first and second garrison regiments of the Principality of Forundo, the White Dragon and Black Dragon regiments of the Principality of Handra, and the defeated Red Dragon regiment have withdrawn to Drama Province for rest and replenishment. There are also the Green Forest and the Blood Spear Legion of the Duchy of Fakel. As for the corps under Grand Duke Sabaki, it was arranged along the banks of the Nibalaku River to prevent the enemy from going down the river.

Perhaps it was stimulated by the Flying Tiger Army’s capture of the defensive position at the Weilongni Pass. When Lorist rushed to the front line, His Royal Highness had already commanded the White Lion Army and the Reserve Army of the Archduke Fesabrunn against the Principality of Handra. The second line of defense carried out several attacks, but under the swearing resistance of the garrison troops, the Second Highness did not achieve the goal of breaking the line of defense. Instead, there were heavy casualties. Even the cavalry of the reserve army also lost nearly 3,000 horses.

"Locke, the line of defense in front of us is a line. As long as you break through a little bit, the enemy's entire defense line can collapse. I believe in the attacking power of the Flying Tigers, and I hope you can take on this important task." Said to Lorist.

After carefully looking at the layout plan of the line of defense detected by the scout, Lorist shook his head: "I refuse, Your Majesty."

"Why?" His Royal Highness's expression was very ugly.

"It's very simple. In winter, I led the Flying Tigers to capture the Weilongni Pass in order to exert greater defensive pressure on the Principality of Handra~www.readwn.com~The four princes in the central region will soon be affected by insufficient supplies of armaments. Collapse. Looking at the front line of defense, it is clear that they have placed six legions, and then a new legion must be reorganized for defense in depth. At the same time, defensive forces must be deployed along the river to prevent us from crossing the river.

We can imagine how much force the Principality of Handra would need to make them well-defended. They now have only two provinces left and cannot afford it. As long as we keep the spearhead of the offensive, and do not attract them, the Principality of Handra can only desperately strengthen its defensive power until it is unable to maintain it. In this case, why should we lose our troops in vain to attack this line of defense and be entangled with them? "

"But our offense can put more defensive pressure on them! If the offense can win, then breaking through this line of defense will make the enemy collapse faster!" The Second Highness retorted loudly.

"Perhaps, but that would cause us a lot of casualties. At the moment of victory, I think it is meaningless to make the soldiers make senseless sacrifices..." Lorist said.

At this time, a voice outside the big tent interrupted the quarrel between the second majesty and Lorist: "Report to your majesty, Grand Duke Handela sent an envoy to see you."
