Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    This is the dilemma that Claude and his men are currently facing. Western Qin does not know this, so everyone currently does not care about this group of Burgundian soldiers guarding the dangerous peak. They are only waiting for the last son to come back to make a decision.  Whether to attack, encircle, or withdraw from the mountain peak.

    But the Burgundians know that they still have a few pounds and a few taels, and holding on will be a dead end unless a miracle comes. But judging from the current situation, God has no time to care about them.  The reason why they are still here is simply because Xi Qin has not forced them to that point yet. They feel that they have been wronged by surrendering now. It is better to wait until their own food is exhausted before surrendering honorably. In this way,  Even if you brag to the ladies in the future, you can openly explain that you persisted until the last moment, which will make you look more face-saving.

    I have to say that this is the strange and complicated part of human nature. The same result can be achieved directly, but for some nothingness, it always has to be extremely twists and turns.

    Of course, Bai Zhou¡¯s attention is not on the Belfort area now. Under the escort of Meng Ge, their group finally arrived in Basel safely.

    After working hard for a long time, he was finally able to relax completely. Baizhou also fell asleep under Caiwei's service. Michuan, Zhende and others were also taken care of and went to rest early.

    When the sun just set, Frank led 10,000 German soldiers to Basel in advance.  This part of the German soldiers was led by Frank and Fein who had not yet arrived. They were the first troops to be organized and completed. They came one step ahead. The Germans and Bai Zhou had negotiated 20,000 soldiers. The other half would be sent by Ilya and Lu.  Led by two young German nobles, they came to Basel in the past two days.

    Their arrival at this time was really unexpected by Mengshan and others, because in the original arrangement, the 20,000 German soldiers and horses were to move together, which meant that it would take two days to walk over.  Unexpectedly, the Germans actually sent half of their soldiers to support them first. From this aspect, it was enough to show their sincerity, because they must be worried about the situation on the front line in Basel, so they sent soldiers so quickly.

    Because Frank, the person who led the team this time, and Bai Zhou are still the best friends among the Western Qin and Germanic people.  After learning that Bai Zhou was not in Basel during this period, but went to the Burgundy camp. He was extremely tired and was resting. He did not insist on waking Bai Zhou up. Instead, he led his tens of thousands of soldiers to fight all night.  Building a camp, and after Frank learned that the Western Qin people had captured most of the Belfort area, he specially assigned some soldiers to directly stationed in the original Burgundian camp, which could be regarded as helping the Western Qin solve some problems of insufficient manpower. After all,  The total number of Western Qin soldiers is just over 10,000. Excluding the soldiers stationed in Basel and the soldiers besieging the several mountain peaks in Belfort that are still besieged, there are not many mobile troops left.

    After a silent night and being tired for several days, Bai Zhou finally no longer had to close his eyes to rest on the bumps on his horse's back. Instead, he slept until the rooster crow the next day. During this period, Michuan woke up early several times.  When he came outside Bai Zhou's house, he was ready to report Frank's early arrival in time, but he couldn't bear to disturb the young master's rest and waited until Bai Zhou woke up naturally.

    Bai Zhou only found out about this after washing up. He couldn't help but sigh. It seems that Napoleon once said that a man who sleeps for six hours a day is like a pig. He slept with two pigs in one night, which really delayed a lot of things.

    Fortunately, Mengshan is in charge of the overall situation here. With his status and reputation, he directly arranged the arrangements when Bai Zhou was not in the city. Everything was still very organized, especially this time when an unexpected small incident was first encountered.  The victory directly cleared the relatively sensitive area of ??Belfort and gave the Germans a relatively spacious place to station a large number of soldiers.  Of course, Mengshan also considered that the Germans were also friendly forces and came to help the Western Qin. If they were all placed in the Belfort area, people would unconsciously think that they were treating the Germans as cannon fodder and blocking the way.  between Western Qin and Burgundy, thus helping Western Qin defeat the Burgundians, which is betraying friendly forces.  For this reason, Mengshan also specifically left the task of besieging the mountain to his own side, and did not let Frank take over. At the same time, he also left about 4,000 German soldiers to stay in Basel and stationed on the south side of Basel.

    Frank is also a smart master. He knows that the people of Xiqin are afraid that he will have a grudge, so he is happy to accept this arrangement.  After all, although this kind of impartial approach cannot be said to be very clever or correct, at least it will make the two parties who are mutual allies, even if it is not Frank who comes first this time, but Ilya or Luca.  , can¡¯t find any mistakes.

    You may not know your own happiness, but you know your difficulties clearly.  This time the Germans had a total of 20,000 troops. It is said that the total number of troops was much larger than that of the Western Qin itself, but in fact, the first?As for the actual combat effectiveness, how to command the 20,000 troops and how to cooperate with the actions of the Western Qin troops depends on him, Fein, Ilya and Luka representing dozens of large and small troops.  The nobles discussed together and decided that the troops Frank could command were the smallest among the four, only three thousand.

    Since the last time he resisted Alberto's attack, Frank, who originally had the greatest credit, is not very supported by the small and medium-sized nobles.  This time, in cooperation with the Western Qin people, who are also their nominal masters, to resist Burgundy, many nobles with few troops are more willing to hand over their soldiers to Fein, whose title is not even as high as theirs. Maybe they feel that this  Among the four people, only Fein is relatively old and has seen a lot of the world. He will not act rashly like the other three young people, or be betrayed by the people of Western Qin without knowing it.

    This also led to a total of 7,000 troops gathered under Fein's command. Of course, the so-called "subordinates" are just those small and medium-sized nobles who temporarily support Fein and are willing to recommend Fein as their spokesperson.

    In fact, Frank understands that the reason for the current situation is actually because except for Finn, the other three people have huge backers. Those small nobles are worried that with such a small force of their own, if they temporarily obey the orders of the three of them,  It will definitely not be taken seriously, and the probability of being used as cannon fodder and being placed on the front line of the battlefield is very high. It is better to "obey" Finn. At least he still has the right to speak.

    Ilya and Luca each commanded five thousand men. Among them, Luca was the eldest son of the Count of St. Gallen and could be regarded as representing the power of the Count of St. Gallen himself, while Ilya's identity was more special. He was the son of the Count of Zurich.  Nephew, Frank's cousin.

    "However, the Earl of Zurich's brother and Ilya's father returned to the embrace of God early.  Even if he had not died, there was no big force and no one believed in his ability. In other words, Frank, who was supposed to command the most troops, had 5,000 troops assigned to his cousin.

    Frank doesn¡¯t understand why his father arranged this. It may be because he feels sorry for his brother who lost his father since childhood and wants Elijah to make a name for himself.  Frank had vaguely heard someone say that Elijah's father died in a battle to protect his father.  From this point of view, Frank no longer cares about anything. Anyway, his relationship with the other three people is not bad, as long as the Western Qin people have the mentality to win this war, instead of using this battle to consume the Germans.  Strength, even if the Western Qin people will temporarily cause some losses to the German army, Frank believes that they will take the overall situation into consideration instead of blindly preserving their own strength.

    PS: 1. I owe three days of updates. I should have issued an IOU in advance, but I didn¡¯t have access to the Internet at that time.  During the Chinese New Year, there are many things and they are complicated, everyone understands.  Keep up the debt, there are already five chapters and a total of ten thousand words I can only say that I will make up for it as soon as possible.  Feel sorry.

    2. I just found out today that I was listed in the category recommendation for tobacco and alcohol. I used to say it on Friday. I don¡¯t know what happened this time. I gave it at zero notice. Hey, I wasted a great opportunity Two words, explosive
