prince of europe in quintiles

In front of the formation, the two armies did not shake their lips and tongues, but rode donkeys.

This act of riding a donkey is implying the defeat of the Saxon army.

Because in the traditional concept, no one will ride a donkey on the front line of the war.The donkey rider is often a priest, because Jesus once rode a donkey into Jerusalem.Therefore, a large number of priests choose to ride a donkey on the pilgrimage, imitating the virtues of pursuing Jesus to encourage themselves.

In the tradition of this part of Europe, when an enemy general is captured, before the next battle, he can be stripped naked, ride on a donkey backwards, and show it to the enemy in front of the two armies, so as to strike a blow. Enemy morale.This kind of behavior has always existed in Europe, from the classical era to the Crusades. It is often found that the captured enemy generals are displayed on the donkey before the battle.

Little Bernard seems to use himself as a prisoner of war riding on a donkey to stop this war with performance art that expresses multiple meanings.

Regardless of whether he wants to express that he is the real general of the army, or he wants to say that he can no longer fight, Huo Teng is sure that this guy, little Bernard, probably won't be able to get out of bed for a while, and he will be beaten by old Bernard. Lame not.

"I heard stories about the East from a witch passing by. In the far north of the ideal country in the East, it is said that the ancestor of the terrible God's Whip was a guy named Mo Dun. He used loud arrows to order his subordinates. Shoot first As prey, those who disobey orders to shoot arrows will be killed; then shoot at their beloved horses, and those who disobey orders will be killed; finally, shoot at their concubines, and those who disobey orders are almost gone. He believes that forming an army After that, he shot at his father and replaced him as the Khan of Megatron in the North."

Huo Teng likes to tell stories to his subordinates.They all used the mouths of passing witches and ordinary business travelers to tell stories about the ideal country in the East.This is also one of the few pleasures Huo Teng can enjoy in this place where the culture is extremely barren.

At this time, Western Europe was still very poor and backward, and their culture basically came from Christianity.And the cultural window of Christianity is the Roman Empire in the east.The priests of the Roman Empire believed that the three magi who came when Jesus was born were great men from the ideal kingdom of the East.This ideal country is considered by them to be Qin, or Seles.At that time, it was thought that Qin and Sailis might be two countries, but they were actually one.

When Huo Teng spoke, he deliberately confused the boundaries between the Huns and the Huns, just to intimidate his subordinates.Attila, the whip of God who once shocked Europe, and his Huns still have a reputation today.So much so that even the Germans call the Magyars who invaded more than 100 years ago the Huns, and they regard the Magyars who almost destroyed Germany as a terrible opponent like the Huns.

What he wanted to explain was to teach the essentials in the army.

That is obedience.

But after Huo Teng finished telling the story, these stupid knights didn't understand at all.Apart from lamenting that Maodun is a ruthless person and must not love his horse and concubine, they all said, "The earl is my sun, you shout, and we will come to help you shoot arrows tomorrow."

This made Huo Teng very angry.I taught you how to command an army. Is that how you use your brains?

Do I need you guys to shoot arrows?

Huo Teng is not Mao Dun.He was reluctant to part with his mount, Kuai Ling, and his wife and lover, so it was impossible for him to use it as a target for honing the bow and arrow skills of the knights.It is enough to have bears, wolves and jackals in the wild.

It is a pity that Huo Teng's idea of ​​establishing the Göttingen Military Academy with his simple knowledge failed again.

Knights who have not experienced systematic learning and training really cannot teach.

But those who have systematic training and learning ability all learn religious scriptures in monasteries.The future is bright, there is no need to join the ranks of martial artists.

"Hey, let everyone go back. Old Bernard should retreat obediently after such a commotion?" Thinking this way, Huo Teng ordered the army to retreat back to the camp.

Not only Horten, but even the Saxons themselves are packing their bags and preparing to go home.

The situation can no longer be reversed. The Saxons have tried all means by the Rumer River, even diplomatic wars and intimidation wars. What else has not been tried?

Did you win?

Nothing.

Not only did they fail to win, they even lost all the prestige that the Saxon Knights had gained over the years.From now on, whenever a Saxon knight brags about his military strength, he will be lifted out of Huo Teng's class and slapped in the face.

The people of Göttingen sang and danced, celebrating each other's victory in another confrontation.

Everyone, including Horten, firmly believed in the withdrawal of the Saxons.The guards who were ordered not to allow those who accompanied the army market to enter the barracks also relaxed, not only allowing outsiders to enter the barracks, but even taking the initiative to participate in the celebration.

Huo Teng, the successor of military science on paper, also half-relaxedly indulged in the joy of repelling the most powerful feudal lord in the north.

Although the system hasn't reminded him that he has defeated the enemy, but seeing the Saxons on the other side are packing their bags, is it possible that old Bernard can really fight back?

……

But can Huo Teng really enjoy this victory with peace of mind?

No.

Yes, Bernard Sr. is going to fight back.

In the evening, the masters of the most elite and most combative knights in the Saxony army, the earls and viscounts, were all summoned by old Bernard to his camp.

"The old duke can't hold it anymore. It's time to announce the withdrawal of the troops. If we don't leave, our people will starve to death."

"Yeah, I was unlucky and got a lottery, so I came here..."

The knights whispered to each other, feeling that they could finally run home.

However, after waiting and waiting, even when the Grand Duke's daughter, Gaudiu, was poking around at the door of the camp, old Bernard was late.

The old duke, who had been powerful for decades, was followed by a servant who was holding a box in his hand.

Old Bernard's mouth twitched, his face suddenly turned cold.

"You guys, do you want to go home that much? Have you forgotten the great martial arts of the Saxon knights?"

The old Duke stretched his broad shoulders, and his stooped body seemed to recover at this moment, returning to the handsome majesty of his youth with a bayonet in one hand and a butcher knife in the other.And his words, like the cold air from the air conditioner, swept through the room, making everyone feel terrified and inexplicable.

Old Bernard, after all, was the hero who ruled Saxony for decades.

"But, we are short of soldiers and food..."

Someone asked the question cautiously.

But the old Bernard waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I have ordered my personal guards to go to the rear to mobilize military rations. Everyone can eat meat and eat as much as they want!"

Meat?

At this time, apart from the living and the dead, where else can there be meat.Even the beasts are hiding.

Old Bernard would not explain.

He did not tell the knights where the meat came from.

"I know, you always feel that some people jump around to avoid war and fight for peace. If you want me to say...it's all bullshit! If you can't beat the people of Göttingen, what right do you have to lick your face and continue to enjoy me The support of the hard-earned country? I will show you now, my determination to fight Huo Teng! You must also have such determination!"

Old Bernard stomped his feet, the sweat on his forehead seemed to prove that his mood was not as decisive as he said.

The attendant opened the box in his hand, and in the box was a pair of round human organs with skin sacs on the outside and hair growing on the sacs.

Any male who sees this will unconsciously hold his crotch and feel phantom pain.

Bernard... personally ordered to castrate his successor, little Bernard.

If he didn't take out another child who was studying in the convent, Bernard would have no heir at all.

I would rather the Billund family die out than fight Huo Teng to the end. This is Bernard's determination!

Chapter 170 The third chapter is dead!

"Crazy, really crazy!"

Viscount Hamster of Goslar was terrified. He couldn't believe it, and looked at old Bernard incomprehensibly.

Just to defeat Huo Teng, the only son who now has the right to inherit has been castrated?No matter how incompetent, unscrupulous, and extravagant behavior little Bernard is, he is still Bernard's own son, and he is also the most favored son after the eldest who died young.

Hamster really couldn't figure out how he would face the menace when he returned to Lüneburg with blood dripping from his crotch and only a little Bernard with a urethral catheterization left. Public opinion, facing your family, facing your mother, facing the people?

Such an excessive move, if it wasn't for a spare son in the monastery, it would be crazy.

Looking down at the box, it is said that the genitals belonged to little Bernard, not only Hamster, but every Saxon knight was trembling with fear, walking on thin ice.

He is already so vicious, so will I be the next one?

Thinking that the balls in my crotch may leave him at any time, and considering that Val, the Earl of Paderborn, is blind foresight, and the little Bernard lost his balls after falling behind. To send the head up, to practice the torture and dismantling of the human body for the old Duke's Greek executioners?

Seeing that no one dared to object, Old Bernard said indifferently: "What I mean is, take out all the food in the army, feed all the knights and strong sergeants, give up all the horses, dismount and charge across the river with all the beast trainers. Drive off the giant beasts of war as the forerunner, use the strong knights as the vanguard, and the strong sergeants as the flanks, break through the defense line of the Rumo River, and go straight into Huo Teng's camp!"

Inside and outside the words, the murderous intent was already evident.

If Huo Teng is not prepared, then this desperate plan will be a great success.

No one would have thought that you, as the king of a principality, would launch a desperate contest against an earl, right?

Willing to work hard, as long as he is shameless, old Bernard still cunningly seized the winning blow to turn defeat into victory.

It’s just that such a heavy price was paid for it. Val’s eyes were cut off, and Bernard’s eggs were cut off. Is everything the old Bernard did really worth it?

"Where is our retreat?" Viscount Hamster panicked even more.

When the war started to be planned, of course it could be planned extremely grandiosely, and it would be as difficult as it could be, but it had already reached the actual command stage of the army, and when it was time to arrange the army to launch an echelon attack, there was no way out?

This is not a joke.

This is not a village chief's fight. The two knights each brought dozens of relatives to fight home at the intersection.

This is the battlefield where both sides sent 3000 troops each to fight wildly and bloodily across the boundary river.This is the eve of the changing hands of the northern hegemony in the East Frankish region, and it is also the center of the largest large-scale battle in the north in recent years, with the largest number of troops and war beasts invested by both sides.Although there is no systematic military knowledge, the long war still provides a simple way for experienced generals to set up armies by habit.

No matter what, an army must have a rear army.Response, retreat, transfer, reserve team, second battle...these are all too important.

Bernard is not a baby, on the contrary, he is a veteran of the battlefield, how could he not even think of this?

"Hmph, the Rumo River is behind, what's the use of having a rear army?"

Unexpectedly, the old Bernard's words made Hamster choke and had nothing to say.

Indeed, Old Bernard had already paid a heavy price and decided to organize an army to storm the Rumer River overnight. How could he care about the retreat?

Even if there is, it is not a price that the old Bernard, who is currently struggling, can afford to divide the troops.Instead of leaving hundreds of people to guard the Rumo River, it is better to put all of them into the battle and pursue a fatal blow.

Old Bernard chose the craziest, least reserved path.

"In this case, I am willing to hand over all my knights, but please allow me to stay here to meet your return. Perhaps at least... to bring these people who have run out of food home." Hamster stood up, Hope to stay actively.

Yes, due to the inability to raise food all the time, Bernard's army has begun to be in a state of food shortage in stages. Ordinary militiamen, poor and weak small farmers have not been able to eat grain for several days, and can only rely on digging wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger .It is basically out of combat effectiveness.

Hamster could guess where the meat provided by old Bernard came from, and he couldn't bear to look directly at it, but for these hungry people, he could only hold his nose and admit it.

Old Bernard saw displeasure in the eyes of Hamster's old subordinate.

He closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "Alright, let's go down."

Hamster shook his head, bowed his head and left from the corner.

The rest of the knights had nothing to say anymore, the stomach acid from hunger had already reached the corners of their mouths, and nothing was more important than a full stomach.

In the evening of that day, Bernard's barracks suddenly started cooking, but only knights and operating sergeants were eligible to enjoy this rare nutritional and spiritual meal.Most of the rest, including noble servants who have basically lost their combat effectiveness, may be removed from the team.

All these people were handed over to Hamster, and the nearby kingdom of Goslar helped them not to starve to death.In fact, laissez-faire has been de facto declared.

How many people can survive to return to their hometown depends entirely on God's will.

……

The next day, in the evening, on the other side of the quiet Rumo River, there was a majestic giant beast with black scales, about [-] feet high and [-] feet long. The first half of the sea dragons wanted to howl behind them, but their mouths were blocked by the animal trainer.

That night, all the knights dismounted and lined up behind the giant beast in full armor.Some of them even permanently lost their war horses in order to supplement their nutrition.

Then came rows of sergeants, wearing helmets and armour, while holding large bags filled with reed grass and clothes, which were tools for filling a breakthrough passage.

Bernard had nothing left to say for this assault.

He stood in front of all the knights, but he just sealed his mouth.Beside him are a group of Lüneburg swordsmen who are always high in fighting spirit. These fighters and battlefield butchers with strong personal force are ready to fight Horten to the death; The knights in black clothes and black armor and robes of water, in this era of advocating colorful, these black knights have a special title.

Legendary troop, Black Dragon Knights.

The black god of death galloping across the northern lands, the terrifying monsters that ravage the Slavs and Poles, are filled with the most elite knights of Saxony.

On his right side, a heavy armored army wearing super-heavy chain mail, with chains wrapped around their hands, with swords and Viking shields as their main combat weapons, is the Hearthfire Guard formed after Siegfried , all of them are surnamed Billund, or have blood relationship with the Billund family within three generations, otherwise they cannot be selected into the blood relative war group named 'Stovefire'.

How could Bernard, who showed his strength at the bottom of the box, forget his three legendary armies?

Wordless silence permeated the river, as if even the moon was helping Bernard, hiding his face behind the clouds.

The ferocious and exaggerated scaled body of the giant war beast has been lying in the river, and the package filled with reeds and grass is tied with a ladder, and thrown into the river for the Saxon soldiers to challenge the risk of jumping into the river with their lives.

Bernard's whole army was ready, and he was desperate.

But at Huo Teng camp on the other side of the river, everything was quiet and there were no lights.

Chapter 170 Four Good Sister-in-Law

half a day ago.

Huo Tenglou tightened his black feather cloak and patrolled the camp.

It was September when the troops were dispatched, and it has been a month since the war.Huo Teng's prepared funds and food were consumed at a rapid rate, and only half of the food he had planned to eat for three months had been eaten.If it takes another month, Huo Teng will be ready to be a beggar at the beginning of spring next year, and go to other earls' territories to fight the autumn breeze.

"Although it feels weird, it's a good thing to finally be able to return home." Huo Teng thought that the war was on the verge of ending.

That's how it was in the Middle Ages.Everyone fights, and most of the time there is no winner or loser, it is purely a game of exchange between the two sides that consumes the population.Sometimes the reason for fighting is just that the other party looks down on me, and sometimes it may be that the grandson on the other side secretly teases my wife at a party.The fight is over?

It’s over.

Most of the time the next meeting can be peaceful.In a few bad situations, you need to find a middleman to make peace.Local bishops, famous monks, prestigious old knights, etc.Like the war between Huo Teng and Bernard, due to a Rumer River, it will be a dead end, a meaningless zombie game.As a result, either Bernard's army would starve to death on the road, or Huo Teng would eat dirt next year.

It's time to rest, right?The Cavaliers are almost past their service deadlines this year.
