Lin Fenghan walked into the conference hall trembling in his dress, waved to everyone, and said softly: "Brothers, the meeting is now in session, and now I would like to ask General Platt to tell everyone the specific results of this victory."
"Um!"
Platt cleared his throat, stood up, and said with the report in his hand: "Boys, we achieved a great victory in this battle. Next, I will read out the casualties and loss of troops in this defensive battle. specific data.¡±
"According to the statistics after the battle, the commander of the noble coalition was Kefla, the chief of guard under Duke Brant. Kefla once defended the western barbarians on the western border of the Kingdom of Dambreth. He has rich combat experience and is a capable person. A true general."
"This time he led a total of more than 6,300 people, including more than 3,000 noble knights, attendants, and soldiers, and more than 3,000 militia and logistics personnel. Among them, the 1,500 people from the Cape Watch City defense force were the most elite."
"Kevlar led a 6,300-strong noble coalition to the west of Waterdeep City at around 11 noon today, and then launched a tentative attack. Fortunately, our army was prepared, and more than 200 of our troops were injured in this battle. , more than 30 people were killed in the battle. More than 700 people were injured in the noble coalition, and more than 200 people were killed or injured."
"After the truce at noon, while taking advantage of the meal time, Kefla conducted a detailed reconnaissance of Waterdeep City and rearranged his tactics. He led more than 3,700 people to attack from the west. General Tutus of Cape Watch City led more than 2,000 people. The men attacked from the east where our walls were weak.¡±
"This attack started at a little after one o'clock. Both us and the opponent fought very hard. If the baron had not led the cavalry at the critical moment, Waterdeep City would have been breached by now."
Platt shook his head unhappily and continued: "In this battle, our army has more than 1,200 veteran sailors, more than 500 citizens, and more than 300 Waterdeep City security teams."
"We invested about 1,400 people on the west side of the main defense line, and more than 600 people on the east and north sides. Although our numbers were sparse, we succeeded in inflicting serious damage on the enemy several times our number by taking over the defense of the city wall."
"In the western region, during nearly an hour of fighting in the afternoon, our army held on bravely. More than 2,000 people from the noble coalition were injured and more than 400 were killed. Our army was injured more than 700 and 100 were killed."
"In the eastern region, General Tutus of Cape Watch was very powerful. He led a heavy infantry battering ram brigade to attack forcefully and destroyed our city wall. However, our army fought back bravely. More than 700 of them were injured and 170 were killed. Our army then More than 300 of the guards living on the city wall were injured and more than 40 were killed.¡±
"The battle in the afternoon was very dangerous. Both the western and eastern areas where we are mainly defending have been occupied by enemy forces. Most of the city wall has been occupied. A large part of the reason for this is that our soldiers are all sailors. They are older and have low combat effectiveness. . The walls of Waterdeep City have not been repaired for a long time, which made it easy for the enemy to invade the city."
"This battle has taught us several lessons. We must repair the walls of Waterdeep City and build more arrow towers. Crossbows and bows are extremely powerful when defending the city. We must make more small crossbows and bed crossbows. , each city wall must be equipped with at least 10 bed crossbows, and a small moat must be dug outside the city wall to strengthen our defense capabilities."
"The final statistics of this battle showed that our army had more than 1,100 wounded and more than 200 seriously injured and killed. The noble coalition had 3,700 injured, killed and more than 700 seriously injured. More than 2,400 noble coalition soldiers were captured. Our dead soldiers were mainly injured by crossbows. Artillery and melee strikes, the lack of heavy equipment is one of the main reasons.¡±
"Yeah! That's right!" Bonodong couldn't help but blush and defended: "There is a large gap in the eastern city wall I am defending. The new earthen wall is very fragile. The navy and land warfare training are insufficient. There is a serious shortage of bows, arrows and spears. The number of people Scarce. And the number of enemy troops is more than three times that of my side, so we let them break into the city."
"Yes! I understand!" Pulet nodded slowly.
"It doesn't matter. General Bonodong, you have persisted for at least half an hour. It is already very difficult."
"Yes! If you want to create that situation, someone else might not be able to do better than you, so don't blame yourself for it."
"Yes! We remember Tutus, the defense general of Cape Watch. The next time we attack Cape Watch, you will be in command of the navy. We will definitely avenge this hatred."
Kelande, Mayoudun, and Vera all nodded and commented.
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan nodded, looked at Bonodong righteously and said, "What they said is right. You have tried your best. Now we have to talk about these prisoners."
Lin Fenghan glanced at everyone and said seriously: "Both sides in this battleAlmost more than 1,000 people died. We must bury these fallen people properly. At the same time, the more than 2,300 people captured are also a big trouble. "
"Although we have captured their camp and captured a lot of their supplies, it is not possible to detain so many people here, not to mention that many of them were injured. Although most of them were slightly injured, there are still many The unfortunate few are seriously injured. These people are imprisoned here and cannot work. No matter how much food we have, they won't be able to waste it!"
"Yes! Baron, I think so too." Bonodong perked up after hearing about the logistics and government affairs, and quickly said: "My suggestion is to treat the injuries of these prisoners first, and then use them as free labor. They dug moats, built roads, mined ores, and used every bit of value they had.¡±
"Well! I see it that way too, but one thing to add is that there are many knights and several nobles among these people. We asked their families to pay ransom to redeem them and sell them at a good price. As for those Let the injured soldiers do some light work, but don't leave them idle." Kelande added with a smile.
"Um!"
"Um!"
"That's good to say, that's what you should do."
"Yes! These scoundrels were very ferocious when they beat us. Now that they are in our hands, it's time for them to suffer a little."
Many Elantra centurions nodded and discussed. Davout, Rams, and Lana sat on the table without saying a word, while Ross, Browner, Fapa, Naluo, Noni, Norm, Rambol, and the captain of the city defense team, Lu Menton, and others were silent. Can't bear it, show sympathy.
"Um!"
Lin Fenghan glanced at everyone, watching their reactions, and said softly to Davout: "Centurion Davout, your performance today is very good, Pulet has told me about you, and you You have proven your courage and wisdom with practical actions outside the city gate, and I want to hear your opinion on this matter."
Dawu stood up slowly, looked seriously into Lin Fenghan's eyes and asked: "Baron, are you sure you want me to tell you what I really think?"
"Yes!"
Lin Fenghan was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously: "I'm sure."
"My suggestion is to release all the seriously injured and disabled coalition soldiers. Some of the lightly injured and uninjured ones are sent to work in the Elante Islands, some of the good ones are recruited into the navy, and some of them are allowed to build fortifications. At the same time, according to the The way you treated the captives before was to give them a small amount of currency as a reward, and at the same time tell them that they can leave after working for a certain period, so that we can reduce their burden as much as possible without consuming resources." Davout said seriously. He suggested with a wave of his hand.
"Ah! This method is good." Ma Youdun patted his thigh and nodded happily.
"Yeah! Not bad!" Lana also glanced at Davout with admiration and nodded slowly.
"I support with both hands." Lu Mengton also stood up and waved loudly. Aishina, Iona, as well as Jinshaya, Bemina, Rafa, Rose and others who were watching also looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Um?"
"that's it?"
"Do you have any other suggestions?" Lin Fenghan looked at Lana, Davout, Rafa, Aishina, Iona, Ramsay and others and asked softly.
Lu Mengton's face became angry, and he couldn't help but stood up angrily, and shouted loudly to Lin Fenghan: "Baron, you must be kind! The noble coalition is also a human being! Most of the militiamen did not come willingly. Attacked us. Centurion Davout has solved this matter perfectly. He exploited and exploited the coalition soldiers too much. This is a very disgraceful thing."
"Oh, yes!"
Aixina looked at Lin Fenghan with a cold face and said: "Your Excellency Yi Liuyun, please think more about others. It is very incomplete to only focus on resources and look at problems through the eyes of politicians. They also It won¡¯t cost you much food and herbs, so please accumulate more character!¡±
¡¡
Lin Fenghan glanced at the people with different expressions, shook his head gently, and said seriously: "Your suggestions are quite satisfactory, but I am by no means an ordinary person. I will not adopt your suggestions. I have decided to tell you." My way."
Lin Fenghan looked at everyone with disappointed expressions and said seriously: "I have decided to free all of them except nobles, knights, and attendants, and all non-voluntary civilians, warriors, and attendants will be released for free."
"What?" Pulet was stunned and looked at Lin Fenghan in shock.
"Oh my God! Baron, are you crazy?! "
"Baron, have you made a mistake?"
"Baron, you must think twice! This is more than 2,000 free labor!"
"Baron, this is absolutely not allowed! Today, these people killed nearly 200 of our brothers! We must not let them go so easily."
¡¡
Kelande, Mayoden, Vera, and Rams all looked at Lin Fenghan with wide eyes and spoke quickly. Among these people, Aishina, Iona, and Bemina had the most exaggerated expressions.
Lin Fenghan calmly glanced at Aishina, who had red lips and an O-shaped face and an incredible expression, and said seriously: "Violence cannot decide everything. I decided to use benevolence and justice to conquer the world. Those noble servants, militiamen, farmers, Most of them are unwilling to attack us. These are forced by the culprit nobles. I decided to send all those who were unwilling to go home after treating these people. As for our army and navy, we are not enough. We will use other methods to build them.¡±
"Baron, you are such a good man." Lu Mengton looked at Lin Fenghan with admiration and solemnly saluted with his fists and chest. Iona and Bemina looked at Lin Fenghan with admiration in their eyes.
Jin Xiya¡¯s eyes flashed with admiration, a gentle chuckle flashed from the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and walked towards the study. Ma Youdun, Vera and others started discussing crazily.
