Different World Development Manual - Chapter 216

[Chapter 44 Picked up a sister paper]

“Fortress Mantuen is lost!!?”

Jon looked at the messenger with horror.

The letter from Matthew requesting support had just been delivered, and within half an hour, the news of the loss of Fort Mantuen reached Jon.

Jon never thought that An Rui had captured Duran for no reason, and then passed through the Valois Forest without knowing it, and attacked the Fort Mantuen by surprise.

As a result, the line of defense built on the north bank of the Alan River was basically broken.

Although Jon still has 110,000 troops in his hands, and 80,000 people are stationed on Brie Island, for Jon, the whole situation is quite bad now.

The morale of the Carinthian army was like a rainbow, and it was advancing all the way.

The fall of the fortress of Mantuen means that the door to the north of Carinthia has been opened, and the supplies of the Carinthian army can also go directly along the Iris River to the fortress of Mantuen by boat to supply the Carinthian army in the north. .

The only thing Jon is looking forward to now is that the Norman Emperor of the North can intervene in this matter.

Although he had an army of 110,000 people, Jon still felt a little powerless to deal with An Rui’s Carinthian army of more than 40,000 people.

Now that the defense line on the north bank of the Aran River collapsed, Jon immediately adjusted his strategy and transferred all the troops on the north bank line to the east bank of the Munster River.

It is expected to form a new line of defense on the island of Brie, located to the northeast of the confluence of the Munster and Aran rivers.

At the same time, Jon immediately ordered, asking the nobles in the Cape Duchy to erect the walls and clear the fields, harvest all the food that can be harvested, and harvest or burn the food that cannot be harvested in advance, all huddled in the city and ready to fight a protracted war Prepare.

Jon believed that the Norman Emperor would intervene if the fighting continued.

On Carinthia’s side, An Rui, who had captured the Mantoun Fortress, was mobilizing Carinthia’s army at this time.

The Marquis of Duran retained only 2,000 troops, and the troops from the south bank of the Aran River also arrived at the Fort Mantuen by boat one after another.

At this time, An Rui’s troops reached more than 40,000 again.

However, if you want to use more than 40,000 people to attack Buri Island, I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties.

After all, there is no Varua Forest near Buri Island to cover the army and make surprise attacks.

And An Rui, who earned the gate of the Cayman Thun Fortress, I am afraid that Jon will also be closely guarded, strictly preventing An Rui from earning the gate of Buri Island.

Since Brie Island was so difficult to attack, and Jon adopted the policy of erecting the walls and clearing the field, following the military advice of Guan Lin and Guan Fei, An Rui simply waved his hand and used the strategy of encircling the city from the countryside to move towards Duke Capet. Lead attack everywhere.

Buri Island just waited for it to close the city gate, and the pestle was there. The consumption of food by the 80,000 defenders was also an astronomical figure.

An Rui broke through the defense line on the east coast of Munster, leaving only 10,000 people stationed outside Brie Island, staring at the defenders in the city, and at the same time adding a huge pressure to Jon.

The remaining troops of more than 30,000 people were attacking the city all the way in the Cape Duchy.

An Rui led a Carinthian army of 5,000 upstream along the Munster River and began to attack the northwest portal of the Cape Duchy, Tria.

The main city of the Duke of Wia is upstream of Tria, so Tria is very important to Cape and Wia.

The battle to attack the city of Tria only lasted for 2 days. Under the continuous artillery fire, the defenders of Tria finally played the white flag exhausted.

The Carinthian Army happily drove into the city after paying the painful price of 22 people.

“Your Majesty, we found a lot of food and grass in Tria City!”

The policy of erecting walls to clear the field allowed Capet’s army to take back a large amount of food and grass and use it for the nobles and soldiers in the city.

The civilians in the city, as well as the civilians outside the city, had a very difficult time during this time.

Their grain was not only surrendered by the Capetian army, but their immature dealers in the field were also destroyed by the Capetian army.

Those who dare not speak out can only kneel on the ground,

Woohoo.

After all, the Duchy of Capet will be An Rui’s territory after all. These miserable peasants and commoners will also be An Rui’s people in the future.

An Rui immediately ordered: “Open the warehouse and put food! Distribute all the food in the city to the civilians near Tria!”

“Yes!”

An Rui’s actions immediately won the hearts and minds of the residents of Tria. As for those nobles, although An Rui really wanted to use the public trial meeting to make the commoners criticize.

But thinking of this era, it seems that there is nothing “wrong” in what the nobles do.

Criticizing them is not enough.

An Rui simply inspected the farmland near Tria, was close to the people, instructed the farmer’s uncle’s farming, passed on the advanced farming experience of China, and immediately made his image in the hearts of the residents of Tria. became brilliant.

Tria is located on the banks of the Munster River, so the soil is quite fertile.

But at this time, a large wooden stake was floating down from the river outside the city of Tria, and a comatose woman was lying on it.

A Carinthian soldier shouted: “There is someone on the river!”

An Rui looked over immediately, one seemed to be a woman, An Rui waved his hand: “Go and bring that person up.”

The Munster River is not turbulent, it is relatively smooth.

After a few Carinthian soldiers got the order, they jumped out of the river without saying a word, swam over, and caught the man on the driftwood with three strokes.

I just heard a few Carinthian soldiers who saved people not far away say: “I’m still breathing, I’m still alive.”

“Hey, how could such a beautiful woman commit suicide by throwing herself into the river?”

An Rui had no interest at all, but when he heard the beautiful woman committing suicide by throwing herself into the river, she immediately became interested, and she was happy to watch it.

It’s okay not to look at it, but I was startled when I saw it.

This woman has beautiful long blond hair, a hint of red on her delicate face, and a slightly dark purple on her soft lips.

Uchimura, an ordinary warrior, was completely drenched and stuck to her body, revealing her pleasing curves.

Foggrass, Margaret!

?

An Rui, who was at war with Cape, didn’t pay much attention at all, and the political situation in the north had become turbulent.

Due to Margaret’s assassination and disappearance, the conflict between the Union Army and the Imperial Army was completely aroused, and Norman had fought several battles with Freya and Sissi’s army.

Norman not only wanted to avenge Margaret’s assassination, but also slashed the rebellious lord.

The Queen of the North, Sissi, is to avenge Norman’s revenge for being betrayed by Norman during the war on the southward expedition.

With the outbreak of the war between the two sides, Qian Qian discovered that this guy Norman didn’t seem to be mediocre at all, and that guy used to pretend to be a quail in front of him.

With Duchess Arnotta’s reminder, Sissi realized the true face of Norman. This guy is quite a shrewd existence.

The soldiers of the Norman Western Front have arrived under the main city of the Duke of Taclan, and the Duke of Taclan has repeatedly asked the Queen of the North and the Duchess of Arnott for help.

But An Rui doesn’t care much about these things, he only cares about how to take the Cape Duchy.

Looking at Margaret, who was soaked by the river water, she quickly pulled away the soldiers of Carinthia, rushed up, took out the bath towel in the space storage bag, and wrapped Margaret tightly. .

Then he gently picked up Margaret, turned and walked to his military camp outside the city, while telling the soldiers around him: “We can’t tell anyone about the fact that we picked up a woman by the river. ”

“Yes Yes Yes!”

Seeing that His Majesty the King returned to the military tent with a man without anyone, the soldiers and generals suddenly showed a look that we all understood.

An Rui gently placed Margaret on the bed, and immediately let the personal soldiers outside the door guard the camp. No one was allowed to enter without his own orders.

Of course, An Rui did not intend to drive, but hurriedly turned on the radio and contacted Guan Lin from An Rui Fort.

“Fuck, Guan Xiaomei, something big has happened!

When I attacked Tria, I picked up an imperial queen!

”

Picked up?

An Rui’s amount of information is indeed a bit large. Under Guan Lin’s questioning, An Rui slowly poured out the beginning and end of the matter.

Guan Lin’s reply was soon heard on the radio: “Very good, I will immediately arrange for a helicopter to come over and bring you and Margaret back!”

“Okay okay okay.”
