"Your Majesty the Duke, thisis not good." Finn said first. Although Bai Zhou had given a big piece of cake to various forces in the coalition and had made it clear before, it stands to reason that Fein and the others should not raise any objections now, but I don¡¯t know if it is because of this time. The battle went too smoothly. After all, it almost cost less than a thousand men to annihilate the 5,000th Burgundy cavalry. This was the most elite force under the Grand Duke of Burgundy. Therefore, some people felt that Burgundy was The Gendians are nothing more than this, and it is not worth the coalition forces' efforts to save them. They can just station troops in the Belfort area to block them.
?????????? Does such a victory suddenly boost the courage of some people? Bai Zhou thought with some suspicion.
And he didn¡¯t seem to hear anyone¡¯s objections, and then said something that surprised everyone in the audience: ¡°Not only will we give up Belfort, but if the war situation does not go well, we will also give up Basel.¡±
Bai Zhou¡¯s words were impactful, but they were like throwing another depth charge onto a lake that was not very calm at first.
Several senior generals of the coalition forces had discussed this issue with Bai Zhou before and everyone had almost reached an agreement, so their reaction to this sentence was not too big. Even if they had some thoughts in their hearts like Fein, they still had some thoughts. I will no longer have trouble with Western Qin in the big picture. But when the small and medium-sized nobles heard the news, they didn't blow up their nests, which was considered a great honor to Bai Zhou.
"This is an order, not a suggestion. Moreover, I don't need your advice, but your actions." Bai Zhou didn't have the energy to repeat what he had said to these people.
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary things. After all, what Bai Zhou has to consider now is how to retreat from the enemy in the next step, rather than how to convince everyone present.
When they arrived at the Burgundy Pass, they did not see another Burgundian soldier. Archduke John had already guessed what would happen to Dahar. But when they entered the Belfort Mountains, they found a dying Burgundian soldier covered in wounds. In the end, he already knew that what he was most worried about had happened.
The Duke of Burgundy had imagined that it would be very difficult for Dahal to rescue the "only remaining" Burgundian soldiers. Dahar himself must be aware of this fact, and he is a notoriously cautious general. Therefore, the most appropriate result is that when he arrived with a large force, Dahar was still fighting with the Western Qin people in the Belfort area. entangled.
But we never expected that tens of thousands of horses and horses, traveling day and night, even taking a shortcut under the leadership of a local farmer, would not have time to save the five thousand cavalry before the Western Qin people.
In fact, Archduke John felt a little regretful after sending Dahal. After all, these five thousand cavalry can be regarded as the most elite and "expensive" troops in the entire Burgundian army. Let them take this risk. It would be good if they succeeded, but if they failed, even they would feel distressed at the price.
Moreover, he had also dealt with the leader of the Western Qin people, the "kid" named Bai Zhou, and knew that the Duke of Switzerland was not an easy guy to get along with. In other words, this cavalry, after entering Belfort, would definitely To be regarded as the best prey by the Western Qin people.
Therefore, Archduke John decided to travel all night, and sent people to the countryside to find local farmers to see if there was any shortcut that could be bypassed.
Unfortunately, it¡¯s still a step too late. Those five thousand cavalrymen. The Grand Duke spent a lot of effort to gather so many cavalrymen. He never thought that in just one battle, all his years of hard work would become a thing of the past.
There is no regret medicine in this world, and Archduke John also knew this. But heartache is still unavoidable, and now, the only thing that can relieve his heartache is the blood of the people of Western Qin!
Even though you have defeated 5,000 cavalry, I still have 70,000 of Burgundy¡¯s most elite soldiers. What qualifications do you, a small wandering nation, have to occupy Switzerland? How dare you kill my people over and over again!
If at the beginning, Archduke John really just wanted the Western Qin people to withdraw from the north of Switzerland, but now, due to the defeat of the successive wars, the hatred between the two sides has become deeper and deeper. As a result, Archduke John will no longer have any feelings for the Western Qin people. What a pity mentality.
But this is not a big deal to Bai Zhou. After all, since the Grand Duke of Burgundy made the decision to conquer Switzerland, it means that one of the two sides must fall to end this dispute. This can be said to be a fight to the death, and Bai Zhou originally did not expect that the Burgundians would have any sympathy for the Western Qin people.
War is never merciful, unless someone intends to use "kindness" as a weapon.
"Hey, big brother, do you think this thing is reliable? It won't hurt the enemy, but it will cripple us two brothers." Meng Zhi said to Meng Ge carelessly. In their hands, they were still playing with the thunder that Bai Zhou asked them to carry.
Now Xi Qin has 600 finished products on hand, and the two of them brought them with their troops. They were originally reserved to deal with those cavalry. After all, any animal is very sensitive to loud noises and bright fires. Sensitive, using these thunderbolts is more powerful than a crossbow against horses.
However, it was obvious that the Thunder that was not used at that time was left in their hands by both of them. Based on the principle that good things are for people to use and good weapons are for killing enemies, Bai Zhou asked the two of them to lead the troops and at least throw all the 600 "hand grenades" before returning to Basel.
"How do I know? But at that time, Mr. Wei's tone seemed to be that he admired this thing very much. I guess it shouldn't be much different." Although Meng Zhi and Meng Ge, two children born in Jiangmen, are no strangers to firearms. , but is still very unfamiliar with well-made firearms.
Firearms have not been around in China for a short time, but in the eyes of successive rulers, they have never been considered a military revolution, and craftsmen of all generations have not improved them into a way that can determine the outcome of a war. key props, so it¡¯s no wonder that Meng Zhi doesn¡¯t have much confidence in Zhen Tian Lei.
"Tonight, everything will be known." Mengge smiled, looking at the shadows of the Burgundian troops in the distance, and the sun gradually setting in the west.
