Lin Quan said that now it seems that it is more appropriate to go south, if they do not solve the Avol Kingdom, when the time comes, they will kill from behind, and the Yu Dynasty will not be easy to deal with.

The Duke of Xiangguo said that the strength of the Avol Kingdom was the strongest in Xirong, and it was known as the three major principalities in the East.

The Duke of Xiangguo also pointed out that to the north of Hagia Sophia is the Duchy of Teuton, and these three principalities are the strongest in Xijon. At that time, they entered from the Duchy of Teuton relatively quickly, but due to the strong power of the Duchy, they chose to take a detour here.

After Lin Quan heard this, he told Xiangguo Gong that even if this Avor Principality was very powerful, they could only fight, and now with Lei Zhenzi, a siege weapon, no matter how difficult the bones were, there was a chance.

Xiangguo Gong nodded, and asked Lin Quan to rest first, and they would go south tomorrow.

However, before heading south, the Duke of Xiangguo let the allies and the surrendered army defend in Jade Dragon City to prevent the black-clothed Dashi from going east.

After the arrangement was made, the Duke of Xiangguo took 80,000 cavalry and 100,000 foot soldiers and went south along the Els River to the vicinity of the city of Telmi on the border of the Avol Kingdom.

This time, Avol united more than a dozen small countries in his south, and the coalition army of 200,000 troops was stationed near the city of Telmy.

The city was near a plain, suitable for large-scale battles, so the two sides set up their positions and fought this strongest decisive battle.

On the fourth day of the ninth month, this is destined to be an extraordinary day, when the sun has not yet risen, Yu Chao and the opposite side have set up a formation.

Yu Chao sent the cavalry out first, and naturally the cavalry was also dispatched on the opposite side, but there were mostly heavy cavalry on the opposite side.

The two sides collided together, and the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty suffered considerable losses, but they also contained the enemy's main force.

Seeing that the two sides were at a stalemate, the commander of Avor's side ordered the infantry to attack, preparing to cooperate with the heavy cavalry and swallow the soldiers of the Yu Dynasty.

Seeing this situation, Xiangguo Gong, who was standing on a high platform to watch this battle, asked the 30,000 cavalry of the Di people to dispatch, and the five horses of the Di people were connected together, with knives hanging on the ropes, and quickly rushed towards the infantry.

Commander Avol ordered once again that the soldiers should form a phalanx to block the onslaught of the cavalry.

However, Commander Avol did not expect that these men were proficient in cavalry archery, and at the time of a hundred paces, these cavalrymen took up their bows and arrows, one arrow at a time, and the spearmen were shot to death before they could even play a role.

At this moment, it was not that the cavalry was afraid of the infantry, but that the infantry began to crumble, and this chain of horses was like the scythe of death, mercilessly harvesting their lives.

When Commander Avol sent the cavalry to attack, these Di people untied the chain and used cavalry to shoot against the knights of the upper coalition.

The Di cavalry has been good at riding and shooting since childhood, and although the number of people on the opposite side is twice as large as their own, they still have the upper hand.

The Di people retreated to the side of the Yu army while riding and shooting, and when they entered the range of the Yu army, the Di people scattered, and the Yu army flew arrows like locusts, and the black pressure shot over.

After the Yu army's crossbow arrows were fired, it was a bow and arrow, and when the arrow rain stopped, the Di army set out again to give the Yu Dynasty soldiers time to load the arrow rain.

For the first time, the coalition army saw the arrow array in the Central Plains, and the Di people's cavalry and archery realized the power of this powerful country in the far east.

Under the fierce battle, the morale of the coalition army became more and more low, and at noon, with the official attack of the Yu Dynasty began, the coalition army completely collapsed, the army fled in disarray, and the Yu Dynasty pursued and occupied the city of Cermy.

At night, when the losses returned, Xiangguo Gong was heavy-faced, and the Yu Dynasty lost 30,000 of the 50,000 cavalry. The Di people also lost five thousand.

As for the foot soldiers, 20,000 were dead, and 40,000 were wounded.

Although Avol's losses were even heavier, they had a local battle and were easy to supply, while the Yu Dynasty fought a little less.

"Lin Jian Jun, it seems that you can't just let the imperial army fight, if you continue to suffer such losses, I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the imperial capital."

"Marshal, these days, I also know some things about Xirong, there are so-called mercenaries in Xirong, they are some mercenary groups, they are not loyal to any country, as long as they give money, they can sell their lives."

"How effective are they?"

Lin Quan said that it was okay, probably similar to the dart master in the Central Plains, much better than the untrained soldiers.

Xiangguo Gong nodded and asked Lin Quan to do this, Lin Quan said okay, the next day, when the army was repaired, he and Le Qiong took the guards to the tavern.

Even in the midst of the war, this tavern was chaotic, some drunk people were shouting and making a fuss there, watching Lin Quan and Le Qiong come in, and some of them whistled very impolitely.

Lin Quan asked Le Qiong to ask them if there was a mercenary group, and a big man who was as thick as a bear came over and said something provocatively, and after hearing this, Le Qiong's face turned red with anger.

Lin Quan didn't need a musical instrument translator, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and he directly took the life of this big man.

"Tell them to be as honest as possible if they want to live, their army can't keep this kind of city now, let alone let them out."

After Le Qiong finished translating, a few of them showed unconvinced expressions, Le Qiong's long sword was like electricity, and quickly solved these people, and the rest of the people, even if they were bold, were quiet at this time.

After Lin Quan saw that they were quiet, he asked Le Qiong to ask about the mercenary group again, and a thin, well-dressed person walked over with his hands raised to show his goodwill, and said to Lin Quan: "This gentleman, I am from the Blood Rose Mercenary Group, I don't know what this gentleman is doing with the mercenary group?" ”

"I have a business to talk to you about, and now we need to escort Ulysses IV back to the imperial capital, and we need the help of mercenaries on the way."

The man's face was happy, he rubbed his hands, and then said with a smile: "It turned out to be escorting His Majesty the Great Emperor back to the imperial capital, which is a good thing, but you know this lord, we need a little money." ”

"What we have is money, no matter how many mercenary groups we have, we can hire them, we are the country of gold."

Lin Quan had also heard the nobles talk about it these days, and they believed that the Central Plains was full of gold, and the imperial palace was made of gold. As for the officials' mansions, they were all made of silver.

After hearing this, the people of the mercenary group said to Lin Quan: "This lord, your wealth, from St. Francis to Hagia Sophia, everyone knows about it, no one knows about it, but our side is asking for some deposits first, do you know about the deposit?" Just give us some money first. ”

Lin Quan smiled, threw a money bag from his belt, after this person opened it, everywhere the jewels and diamonds inside, this person's eyes lit up, and he saluted Lin Quan and said, "Blood Rose swears in the name of God that she will always be loyal to you, my lord." ”

Lin Quan asked him to find more mercenary groups, as long as there were more mercenary groups, the more bounties he would get.

After Lin Quan saw that this matter was resolved, he and Le Qiong returned to the city, and saw the soldiers pressing groups of women walking on the road, Le Qiong showed an unbearable look on his face, Lin Quan blocked Le Qiong's sight, and said softly: "For the soldiers, this is the best healing medicine." ”

Back in the mansion, Lin Quan didn't take them out anymore, seeing that Chen Jingjing was not as energetic as before, Lin Quan felt a little guilty and said, "Sister Jing, I'm sorry to let you see these bad days." ”

"It's okay, husband, now I understand how beautiful Taiping is, alas, this sword soldier is unlucky, but the people of the world are unlucky."

Lin Quan said that not only the people, but even the nobles were unlucky, and those noble ladies who did not flee in the city lived a life worse than death like other people.

Le Qiong said to Lin Quan at this time: "Husband, isn't the imperial court the strictest military order?" What Xiangguo Gong does not bind them. ”

Lin Quan said that now they are in Xirong, they are a guest army, and they can only fight to support the war, if they are serious about military discipline, they are afraid that the soldiers will mutiny.

Lin Quan also said that these soldiers lived a precarious life, so naturally they could enjoy a day is a day, and now the military discipline of the Yu Dynasty is quite serious, at least after the city is broken.

They stayed in the palace, and on the 10th of September, the Grand Duke of Avol sent his prime minister to bring a peace agreement, which was simple, and the Grand Duke of Avol was willing to profess Ulysses IV as emperor and let his son come to the army to show his sincerity.

Xiangguo Gong also agreed, and finally asked for the life of King Huawuzi as a gift, this king does not die, and Huawuzi's army will not be at ease.

After the peace treaty was signed, Xiangguo Gong withdrew from the city and went north.

The strategic purpose of this battle has been achieved, as long as the Avol State does not go north and attack the rear of the Yu Dynasty, there is no need for the Yu Dynasty to go south and make a detour to fight with the Avol State.

The Duke of Xiangguo received the will of the sage, and this time the main thing was to escort Ulysses IV to the throne, and when the time came, he would coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to gradually encroach on Xirong.

At the beginning of October, the army of Xiangguo Gong returned to Jade Dragon City, and when Jade Dragon City was repaired, Xiangguo Gong would surrender his army and disrupt the coalition army, so as not to drag themselves back at that time.

When he arrived in Jade Dragon City, Xiangguo Gong did not continue to be busy going north, but shared the fruits of victory with the commanders of the coalition forces here. The Duke of Xiangguo did not wait for the consent of Grand Duke Rachel, and divided the country of Huawuzi.

Anyway, Xijon is a feudal system, and these people will be vassals to Archduke Rachel at that time.

When everyone was smiling, the black-clothed Dashi didn't know what to do, and sent 30,000 people to attack Jade Dragon City.

The result was naturally a big defeat, and the envoy of the Duke of Xiangguo told the king of the black-clothed Dashi that he would surrender if he was interested, otherwise the imperial army would really attack, and then their country would not exist.

The Duke of Xiangguo was here, repairing until the autumn harvest was completed, and after transporting all the grain of Huawuzi Country to the Jade Dragon City, he began to send troops.

This time, they also had more than 10,000 mercenary regiments, and the role of these people was simple, to supervise the logistics farmers and transport the stones to the front line.

The army set off in a mighty way, this time, the Yu army was in high spirits, and after these hours of fighting, they also understood that the heavy cavalry of Xirong was not as terrible as they imagined.

Their morale has been greatly boosted, and now they only think of the imperial capital, go and enjoy it and have a good carnival.
