- The reaction from the church was much faster than I expected.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? does do do is a mercenary army with 30,000 people, which is definitely the biggest threat to the rebels.
It is different from the rebel army, and even different from the Hungarian defenders. The legions of mercenaries who work for money are much stronger than the standing armies of ordinary countries.
Although 30,000 people may not seem like a lot, compared to the more than 60,000 troops the rebel army currently has, its strength is still powerful.
Those mercenaries in Switzerland have superb combat skills and have been trained in combat techniques and survival skills on the battlefield since childhood.
Therefore, compared to the soldiers in the rebel army who were farmers not long ago, they are really not a little bit stronger.
Therefore, quantitative comparison is completely unnecessary.
"Garbage is like a rebel army. If it goes up against a mercenary army, it is doomed to fail."
Because there is no need to fight at all, and there is no way to fight.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
So, how can there be comparison?
Fortunately, the church has only made a decision and is starting the plan. The mercenary group was unable to take shape in a short period of time and headed to the Principality of Hungary.
So, I don¡¯t have no chance at all.
As long as we can quickly occupy the entire territory of the Principality of Hungary, then integrate the rebel army's legions, and improve the combat effectiveness of the army, we might be able to fight against it.
Therefore, time has become very important to me now.
If you haven¡¯t conquered the entire Principality of Hungary before the mercenary group arrives, then the situation will not be great.
At the same time, after conquering the entire Hungary, there will definitely be a storm of power struggle within the rebel army. This is also a big hidden danger.
There is a strong enemy outside. There is sorrow within.
In such an environment, the future of the rebel army is really worrying.
However, this internal matter is not unsolvable.
As long as you can be cruel, there will be no turmoil.
The main thing is the mercenary group, which is the biggest threat to the rebel army.
"Mr. Li, the intelligence information you provided is really important. I didn't expect that the church would actually spend so much money to organize a mercenary group of 30,000 people. This was beyond my expectation. I thought They still have the kind of iron-willed temperament."
Siweix¡¯s gratitude at this time is very sincere.
Of course, just like Siwicks said. The information provided by Li Anran is really important.
If he hadn¡¯t brought the news, Siwicks would still have known nothing about it.
When the mercenary group suddenly appears, they will definitely be caught off guard.
Siwicks feels terrible just thinking about it.
Because the result that occurred at that time was definitely not what he wanted to see.
Of course Siwex knew what kind of people those in the rebel army were.
Of course, it¡¯s okay if everything goes well, but if the war situation goes wrong, there is a high possibility that the rebel army will split and collapse.
The leaders below all have their own thoughts.
The reason why we can unite together now is to suppress some conflicts without breaking out. It is nothing more than external pressure.
Once the pressure is gone, the suppressed conflicts will definitely break out.
¡°Human beings¡¯ bad nature and selfish character make it impossible for this kind of thing to happen.
There are already signs of this happening. Only after conquering Yafei Castle, some people are already eager to dominate and overthrow themselves.
In this regard, Siwicks really treats these teammates like pigs. I felt deeply helpless and contemptuous.
??The news about the mercenary group must not be concealed, and I must tell everyone.
It¡¯s just that after the victory of Yafei Castle. There are already many people who are ecstatic and blindly arrogant.
And there are not a few people who are so arrogant.
Only a small number of people can see the current environment clearly and analyze some situations.
Those arrogant fools, come to think of it, the church is going to hire Swiss mercenariesI wouldn't even think twice about attacking them.
Because they had a large army and the victory at Yafei Castle, they already thought they could defeat all enemies. And the so-called enemies are nothing more than that.
Such an idea really made Siwicks feel ridiculous.
"There is no need to thank me. In fact, I also hope that you can finally truly control the entire Principality of Hungary. After all, my contact with you, providing help and conducting trade is also an investment, isn't it?"
Li Anran was very polite.
"I think you should be able to guess something without me having to say anything."
Siwicks nodded after hearing this: "You are right. In fact, I have made some guesses. But you have no ill intentions and I am willing to deal with you. As for the possibility that we will have something in return in the future, I think this is normal. Things. There is no help in this world for no reason, especially when we were in such a difficult situation at the time."
Siwicks is very smart. When Li Anran said this, he knew what he meant.
Although both of them said it in a vague and not very clear way, with the shrewdness of both of them, they actually understood the meaning, so there was no need to explain it in such a clear way.
"What do you want to do next? I think you don't have much time left. Once the church is ready, the situation here will change."
Li Anran asked.
Siwicks responded: "What else can be done? Quickly organize the army and march to Budapest immediately. Try to capture the Hungarian capital before the church is ready, and then conquer the entire Hungary as quickly as possible. Capture them all. After that, I will lead all the legions to assemble to the western border to fight against the coming mercenary legions."
Yes, this is the only way to solve the upcoming crisis.
Although Siwicks is very smart, he can't think of any better idea than this at the moment.
In this regard, Li Anran also feels that this approach is more correct.
Although after all the Principality of Hungary was conquered. The rebel army's strength will be greatly reduced. But as long as there is a series of victories, the soldiers of the rebel army will also have a sense of self-confidence.
At least, when facing a mercenary army, their confidence will not collapse immediately and they will not dare to fight against them.
At the same time, there will be some instability in various parts of the Principality of Hungary. After all, for the people here, the rebels are considered invaders.
"I'm here to discuss a big deal with you this time, which can be considered a big investment for us. If you agree, I think it will be of great benefit to the rebels and us."
After Li Anran pondered for a moment, he made a decision.
Hearing Li Anran¡¯s words, Siwicks¡¯ eyes lit up.
he knows. This young man is ready to show some real strength.
"I know that you are in short supply of supplies and don't have enough money on hand. But it doesn't matter. I can give you a batch of weapons and armor on credit, as well as three thousand muskets, and enough food for you to eat for a month."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This is really a big investment.
At least, that¡¯s how it seems to Siwicks.
In fact, he had no idea that the things Li Anran took out were not worth much at all to the Song Empire.
Needless to say, genetically modified grains are cheap.
The global economy in the virtual world is in a downward trend. So buy some steel to make armor and weapons, so many people are willing to do this business.
Even the price is very low.
Anyway, the craftsmanship of cold weapon armor and weapons has no technical content at all.
European-style half-body plate armor. It can be easily made as long as you have a mold.
"Only chain armor and chain mail with complex craftsmanship, as well as fish scale armor from the East are expensive.
But in order to maximize profits, the Song Empire would not buy expensive armor like that at all.
The only kind of armor that has simple craftsmanship and can be manufactured in large quantities. Only then would it become the purchasing target of the Song Empire.
As for cold weapons, not to mention, the price is only the price of three kitchen knives sold in the wholesale market. After all, it was sold to people for fighting at this time, so it must have used more iron than a kitchen knife. Therefore, it is normal for the price to be higher.
Weapons that are expensive at this time are quite cheap in the virtual world, which is almost the same time and space as the 21st century.
?????????????????Zhao Hongyu and the others purchased a large quantity, so many merchants were willing to lower their prices to do business with them.
Of course, Zhao Hongyu and their most familiar collaborator, Chen Zhenbang¡¯s brother-in-law, won the largest share.
The small cottage workshops under his command produce this kind of goods in large quantities.
Therefore, the things Li Anran said were not worth much money at all.
Of course, this is looking at this matter from the perspective of the Song Empire.
It would be different if it were Siwicks.
As a native of this time and space, Siwex knows the true value of these things.
??Especially during this period, it¡¯s something that even money can¡¯t buy.
Therefore, it would be false to say that he was not excited.
At this moment, Siwex¡¯s eyes were red, and his body couldn¡¯t help but tremble.
"Is everything you said true?"
Li Anran shrugged: "In this matter, I have no reason or necessity to deceive you, right?"
Phew!
Siwicks was sure that this young man was telling the truth.
"I wonder how many weapons and armors you can provide?"
"Twenty thousand spears, twenty thousand swords, thirty thousand tower shields, fifty thousand half plate armor"
As Li Anran reported the numbers, Siwex's breathing became heavier and heavier.
At the same time, something Li Anran said just now flashed through Siwicks' mind.
That is, it seems that the other party also said that they can provide three thousand muskets! (To be continued) - Didn't finish reading?
