prince of europe in quintiles

"and many more!"

However, at this moment, the smart and clever Godisdio, the daughter of the duke who was passing by here with his entourage, noticed these small traders.

"Everyone around here is pale and thin, why are you the only ones who look rosy and shiny?" Gottisdiu looked at these vendors suspiciously.

Who would have thought that the spies sent by Huo Teng were actually caught because they ate too well in the barracks?

These people are not professional spies, they are just farmers who have undergone simple training and come to Huo Teng's military camp to look for food. When they saw that the matter was exposed, they simply knelt to the bottom and shook all the news that Huo Teng ordered them to come here to test whether to retreat. out.

After saying this, Goldistein was surprised and regretted.

She originally thought that these people were spies of nearby robbers, and they were here to wait for an opportunity to snatch something.Who knew it was Huo Teng's person!

Gottis Diu felt conflicted and was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to arrange it.

From a mood point of view, she looked at her future husband with an unknown and curious name.

However, his father wanted to use himself as a bait to lure Huo Teng into the encirclement. This made Gotisdiu feel extremely bad, and at the same time, it also made the girl who had just left the monastery feel a little more unhappy. Disgusted.

She didn't want to see Huo Teng suffer while her father was proud.

Unexpectedly, several spies were pointed out, but it was counterproductive.

How to do?

"Sure enough, she is the Duke's daughter, she's smart enough haha." The Saxon knights didn't think too much about it, they grabbed the spies and rushed to the old Bernard's camp to receive the reward.

Goldis Diu hastily moved in lotus steps, picked up the hem of his skirt and trotted after the maids.When she rushed to the barracks, she saw old Bernard explaining these people calmly: "You guys, go back and tell Huo Teng that I am leaving, and the army is constantly moving at this time. The tents, blankets, meals The pot is moving, understand?"

Several Saxons nodded their heads.

They have lost their ground and just want to live on.

Driven by the Saxon army, these people ran out of the barracks and hurried to the Rumer River.

On the other side of the river, Huo Teng also noticed that his spies had been beaten and driven out, so he hurriedly sent someone to come over to help him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a few knights with excellent archery skills ran out of the camp, and shot these spies to death on the spot with a few arrows.

Someone even shouted to Huo Teng across the river: "You little bastard of Göttingen, the old prince told me to tell you that this is what happens to the betrayers! You, too, will be like them."

After speaking, the Saxon army returned to the camp.

Those few unlucky spies, with the joy of surviving and apologizing for Huo Teng's betrayal, suddenly got arrows in the back and fell down by the river one after another.

And Huo Teng, who was stunned, watched his spy fall into the water and drift with the water with an expression of disbelief on his face.

This may be a spiritual victory for the Saxons.

But in Goldiu's view, she has already discovered her future.

Just like these spies, old Bernard didn't care about the lives of tools.

"Father...is that why you took me out of the monastery?"

Chapter 170

People tend to distort the truth in rumors.

Killing knights in medieval warfare?No one cares about knights who die during the battle. Only captured knights have the capital to ask for ransom, and if necessary, he deserves to die or die.

What about those servants below who are not qualified to call themselves nobles, but can only call themselves a certain knight, or the son of a squire?What about those small and wealthy landlords and gentry, and those self-cultivating farmers?

Opening the history books, there is no record of their life and death.

Probably all dead.

But Huo Teng didn't feel sad when he saw several spies he sent were killed.

But nest fire.

Every medieval aristocrat who grew up in the flames of war was utilitarian.They will treat every knight, retinue, and sergeant as a pawn on the war chessboard.Heartache, the pain is that this team did not play a big value.

Huo Teng didn't expect much from these ordinary spies transformed from civilians, so he didn't feel distressed.

But under the eyes of everyone, in the sight of the knights in Göttingen, the spy sent by Huo Teng to scout the way was caught by Bernard, and then he killed him face to face.This kind of face-to-face coldness seems to be showing that 'Your uncle Bernard is still your uncle'.This silent and treacherous giant bear from the north is still deterring rising stars like Huo Teng.

Huo Teng's subordinates were all mud legs crawling out of the ravine. After they had won a few battles with Huo Teng, they began to brag about themselves, thinking that Huo Teng could lead them all the way to break through the city wall and sweep the north.

But just a few spies were shot in the face, and these knights immediately recalled the fear that Bernard had brought them.

The grand duke, who held an assassin's knife in one hand and a powerful army in the other, returned to the nightmare of these ordinary knights again.

The morale of the entire army began to decline steadily in an instant during Bernard's action of slaughtering the secret agent with ease.

Huo Teng knew that this was not too bad, because once the over-inflated morale suffered a setback, it would be converted into a negative factor that plummeted sharply, making this army just overwhelmed.

He just didn't feel very good about being slapped in the face.

If you recall, this might really be the first time Huo Teng was slapped in the face.

"Blow the rallying call."

If you get slapped in the face, you must not bear it.

Hit if you can hit back, bite if you can bite back, even if it is a few mouthfuls of saliva?

You must let your subordinates see your fierceness and strength, at least show an attitude of doing your best to avoid distraction.

Huo Teng's side suddenly blew the assembly call. This kind of novelty, which is not well known among the local knights, has been circulating in the barracks for a long time.So when the order sounded, the whole army moved in terror.

It was impossible to move, only when the rallying horn was sounded, Huo Teng would show his ferocious nature.

Any knight or soldier who dares to be frightened when blowing the rallying call for the first time, and fails to delay, will have to whip 30 times. Basically, if Huo Teng wants to kill you, no one will be resurrected after 30 whips.When the assembly horn is blown for the second time, it is the charge horn.At this time, if you dare to run backwards in the rushing crowd, Huo Teng will not be forgiven, no matter who you are.

Of course, so far, no fighter has violated these two rules.

Although the Germanic region is poor, the simple fighting will of the soldiers and the blood culture left over from the tribal clan kingdom era still make the army here far surpass the simplicity and bravery of the southern army.

Not the Roman army.When military discipline is lax, no matter how you blow the horn, you won't be able to control it.When one goes to the battlefield and sees the brutal Muslim light cavalry on the opposite side, they tend to collapse habitually.

As a result, hundreds of soldiers, when they heard the sudden assembly call, immediately made a sensation in the barracks.

But their movement was not running away.

When not fighting in daily life, the army does not receive armor.Some armies, such as those in Rome, may even confiscate the armor of the soldiers and wait until they actually meet the enemy before distributing them below to prevent the army from rebelling and fleeing.Here in Huo Teng, although the armor will not be confiscated, because the chain mail and weapons are used by Huo Teng and lent to the soldiers, so every day an investigation attendant is sent to check whether the armor and weapons are still in each barracks.

I saw the majority of the infantry spear regiment, most of these men from Göttingen yeoman and country gentry families had no time to fasten their belts, straw sandals and leggings, and hurriedly hung various ropes on their hands, Then wear an iron helmet on your head, hold a spear and shield in your left hand, and hold your own chain mail in your right hand. While running, you and your companions help each other hang it on your body. It's loose.

Then, you can see the cavalry such as honor guard knights, retinue knights, single-feathered light cavalry, retinues, etc., each carrying a spear and armor, showing extraordinary equestrian skills on the horse.After all, it is good for ordinary people to stabilize their center of gravity right away, so how can they wear armor straps?

Huo Teng stood on the bank of the river, waiting for his army to come to meet him.

……

On the other side of the river, even Bernard stood in an inconspicuous place, observing Huo Teng's reaction.

Shooting and killing the secret agent, this light-weight suppression method, was actually the old Bernard's plan after careful consideration and careful calculation of the effort and benefits.

Now that the effect is showing, Huo Teng's army is showing signs of embarrassment and morale is declining.

This is what Bernard wanted.

But then, there was a dull and dense sound of horns, but this deliberate action was not fully successful.

Because Bernard saw something he didn't want to see.

On the other side of the river, Huo Teng's army, who were idle at first, gathered around the guard post to warm up and chat, suddenly picked up their spears and shields like thunder, and rushed towards Huo Teng.This is the complete opposite of previous performance.

Perhaps the more people there are at this time, the more people will see the dead spy.

But the degree of morale reduction will not spread like a plague because of the large number of people.When the people who didn't see the tragic death of the spy slowly gathered, they would instead rebound in morale because of the large number of people on their side.

This is what Bernard does not want to see.

So Bernard hurriedly ordered the army out of the camp and lined up by the river to intimidate Horten.

But then Bernard's army dragged its feet, weary and slow.These hungry lower-level soldiers were not motivated and were unwilling to put on their equipment quickly at this time, so a sparse group of people walked to the gate of the barracks and formed an army formation in a mess.

At this time, Bernard already felt that something was wrong.

The military appearances of both sides showed obvious inversions.Due to the war of ideas, our own side has gradually forgotten the Saxon virtue of bravery and skill.

On the other side, in less than a moment, hundreds of cavalry have already rushed towards Huo Teng. They may be disheveled, or they may not have time to put on their armor, but they gathered at Huo Teng at the first time, which is enough to show that they heart of loyalty.And when they rushed to the river, they were helped by soldiers who had assembled on duty on the ground, binding armor belts, leggings and other equipment.

Then, hundreds of infantry came in panic or panic, holding weapons and armor.Many people ran so high that they didn't even bother to put on their shoes, and rushed toward them barefoot; for some, their running leggings were scattered, and their calves were getting more and more chaotic, and their steps were messy and they almost fell down.

Then, hundreds of archers came running, some with only bows, some with quiver, and most of them did not have more than two pots of arrows in reserve.

After that, you can even see hundreds of tenant farmers. These ordinary farmers who came to serve the corvee, who originally had no combat obligations, now carried wooden shovels and sticks, and ran behind them together.

This time, the Saxon Army's scalp was numb.

When the cavalry arrived in distress, they could laugh at Huo Teng's army for being incompetent and cowardly, and a little setback would be like a frightened bird.

But when hundreds of pawns rushed up, the Saxons began to feel guilty.Because it symbolizes the courage of the people of Göttingen.Everyone received the assembly order without going to war and without armor. The Saxons have not yet been able to prepare a qualified infantry, but the Göttingen people can quickly go to the battlefield with weapons and armor, even if the front receives Even in battle, he wears his armor and is not afraid.

This is Yong.

Afterwards, hundreds of archers didn't even have time to prepare their bows and arrows, and rushed to the battlefield. This meant that Huo Teng was quite popular in Göttingen, and the people of Göttingen would rather die than support him.

What made their scalps tingle the most was that even those peasants who didn't need to go to the battlefield came to help with wooden sticks.

Of course, the Saxon nobles would not think that it was Huo Teng's immorality to force the peasants to the battlefield.After all, orders can be given, but people can disobey them.

Didn't the Saxons themselves not even fully assemble the regular army?

Huo Teng can make farmers fight for him spontaneously, which is an extremely clear signal.

The people of Göttingen are the walls of Huotten, and the moat of Huotten. The Saxons can conquer Göttingen by force, but can they force the people of Göttingen to obey by force?

By this time, Old Bernard's counter-killing of the secret agent had changed from a means of successfully suppressing the morale of the enemy army. Instead, Huo Teng borrowed it and used force to turn it into a means of gathering the courage of the people of Göttingen.

With 3000 or even [-] people gathered on the south bank of the Rumer River in Göttingen, the morale was unprecedentedly cohesive.After learning that several spies who were not from Göttingen had died, they became more righteous and brave, and wanted to fight the Saxons for blood.

This ingenious way of borrowing strength made old Bernard startled and quivering, even his hands were trembling.

What can I do to suppress a bastard like Huo Teng?

What should be done to maintain the prosperity of the Billund family?

How can we fight to stabilize the morale of the Saxon army?

Countless questions lingered in Old Bernard's mind, so much so that he didn't even realize that after he ordered the troops to be dispatched, the Saxon army has been sparse so far, and no more than a thousand people have left the camp.

At this time, a young man rode a donkey and ran between the two armies.

That was little Bernard.

Huo Teng couldn't help being dumbfounded when he saw this kid.

This is the time to kill, you, a person who has been deprived of inheritance rights, what are you doing?

"Don't fight, don't fight, make peace, make peace! Be full, be full!" Little Bernard was wearing a priest's attire, and in his hand was a long-handled bell that priests would only hold at mass, While walking, while shouting.

This absurd move brought unimaginable lethality.

Huo Teng immediately opened the bag and took out his dry food cake, that hard bread that could kill people.The quick-witted Huo Teng dipped the bread into the Rumer River and gnawed a piece until it became soft.

Göttingen has a bumper harvest of grain this year, and there is no shortage of military rations.As a result, even the tenant farmers who helped with the work had military rations.

They imitated Huo Teng and ate the bread together.

At this time, on the north bank of the Rumer River, the sounds of hungry stomachs of the Saxons sounded.

Chapter 170 The Determination to Cut the Eggs

In the second battle, Huo Teng won again.

This victory lies in the hearts of the people, in armaments, and in the establishment of the military system.

What is more of a Horten than a Saxon?His army is actually not better than the Saxons in most cases, but it is only ahead of the Saxons in terms of armaments and systems.

He can feed the army, and on the basis of being full, he can establish more effective systems.

assembly number.

Using only this one, Huo Teng can make the Göttingen people with fewer numbers suddenly establish a stronger deterrent force.

Little Bernard's sudden intervention did interrupt the mutual deterrence between the two sides, which seemed to be detrimental to Huo Teng.But in fact, if old Bernard really drove the army out, with the deterrent force of a large number of people and powerful war monsters, it would be easy for the east wind to overwhelm the west wind, putting Huo Teng at a disadvantage.The premise is that the old Bernard still has this power.

Therefore, the old Bernard, who saw this scene, was furious immediately, and sent someone to ring the bell on the donkey, pretending to be the monk he was about to become, to drag the little Bernard from the donkey, beat him, and put him in the camp .

In fact, besides ringing the bell to arouse the hunger of the Saxon people, the absurd behavior of Bernard Jr. is also seriously suspected of an extremely serious external manifestation.
