Chapter 476. Connections with the forces of the uprising

The rebel army of the Southern County Territory is huge, but the only troops capable of quelling the rebellion at present are Grand Duke Cameron of Lion Castle, the troops under the direct command of his subordinates, and the city defense army of Lionheart City, plus the noble private armies scattered in the various estates of the Southern County Territory, and of course, the 20 knights stationed in the north of the Southern County Territory.

But the strange thing is that the troops directly under the Grand Duke of Lion Castle did not dispatch, and the Lionheart City City Defense Team, which was indirectly controlled by many top nobles, also did not dispatch, and even the private armies of those noble manors were not dispatched.

Only the 20 knights of the Southern County Lord's aristocratic army chose to divide their troops.

Fifteen knightly orders are still stationed here.

The remaining 5 knights, with 500 knights and 4,500 heavy cavalry, withdrew from the front line and went to reinforce the hinterland of the southern county territory, which was becoming more and more severe in the rear, with the high mobility of cavalry, to ensure that the rebels could be defeated like thunder.

Otherwise, hundreds of farms and dozens of villages in the southern county will be destroyed by the spreading rebellion.

To know.

These farms and villages are the cornerstone of the Southern Counties.

The material that the Duchy of Lion relies on is to harvest two seasons of grain every year.

And the fertile land of Nanjunling, coupled with the excellent weather that does not freeze all year round, has almost turned Lionheart City, a trading city on the Resniston River, into the largest food production base in all human countries!

I don't know how many forces send fleets to import large quantities of grain every month.

If there is a change in the Southern County Territory.

Then there will be a regional famine in the entire human nation.

This is definitely not a joke, although both sides of the Resniston River are excellent grain cultivation areas, but it also depends on the situation, the places of other human countries are not so good, especially after the development of river transportation, many kingdoms rely on the grain import of the Southern County Territory, which adds to the importance of this place.

At the beginning, the Yinpan Kingdom launched a war of aggression against the Lion Principality because of the top agricultural land in Nanjun, but because the war lasted too long, it affected other human countries, and finally subsided.

Of course, this is inseparable from the stubborn resistance of the Lion Principality.

But there are also premises.

With the strength of the Silver Plate Kingdom, it is completely possible to carry out a secondary annexation.

The reason why there was no attack was because of the mediation of other human kingdoms.

Not only because of the impact of the war, but also because of the fear that the national power will swell after the annexation of the Silverpan Kingdom to the Lion Principality, a famous grain producing area.

The strength of the current human countries is almost the same.

They are also implicated in each other.

Once the kingdom's strength has skyrocketed, then the impression is that all the human kingdoms on both sides of the Resniston River, in order to ensure that their own interests and security are not violated, the annexation plan of the silver pan kingdom is doomed to failure.

It's just that this doesn't mean that the Duchy of Lion won't have civil strife, especially heir strife!

This is a common disease of all human nations.

Or rather.

As long as there is power and heirs, there will be a struggle for the throne!

The current rebellion of the Northern Commanders can be regarded as this kind of battle, and for the nobles, this is still a result that is barely acceptable, and even pinched their noses to agree.

But this rebellious army, once a captive and now a slave, dared to rebel against their rule?

It's a self-defeating one!

There is simply no reason for them to survive!

As the second son of the Grand Duke, Kant organized troops to come over just to seize his own position, or his own infighting within the aristocratic system, which was completely different from these slaves who rebelled and claimed to be an insurrectionary army.

These slaves are completely intent on overthrowing their rule, and they have a table-turning attitude!

This is also the reason why the nobles are angry.

The most critical.

It was still those serf rebels who destroyed the southern county territory too completely.

The damage caused by the light cavalry of Rolf was even more vicious than that of the light cavalry, not only destroying a large number of farms that originally belonged to the nobles, but also burning a lot of villages belonging to the Grand Duke.

The fields were razed to the ground, and even the wheat seedlings sown were destroyed.

The serfs vented all their tyrannical emotions with resentment.

And when emotions are stirred.

After everyone had eaten and drunk enough because of the robbery, they were even more red-eyed, wanting to completely return all the torture they had endured in the Lion Principality to those who had tortured them!

Even a group of civilians of the Lion Principality began to humiliate these turned serfs.

There is even a tendency to become rebels together.

The innocent are often innocent.

In front of these red-eyed insurgents, any civilian who wanted to stay out of the situation was brutally tortured.

Uprisings and rebellions in feudal times were often accompanied by blood and fire, as well as a large number of withered lives and corpses all over the ground, plus a large number of destroyed infrastructure, including the plague and famine that followed!

This is also the reason why the nobles anxiously mobilized the knights to return to quell the rebellion.

There can be no change in Lion Castle.

Lionheart City still needs stability because of its proximity to the Resnsiston River.

As for the manors of those nobles, they will not spare extra troops to quell the rebellion because of their own interests.

But even if it is 5,000 members of the Knights, a total of 5 Knights, they can still eliminate the rebels that have snowballed to 30,000, and even at the moment of contact, they can directly collapse the so-called rebel army.

Even if it is the captives of the Silver Plate Kingdom as the main force.

But so what?

Ten years were lost, and the captives were simply unable to organize an effective defense.

Maybe the memories and experiences of the past are still there, but ten years of serf life, how can these slaves resist the powerful knights, the most important thing is that these serfs are estimated to not even be able to bring armor!

This was the idea of the Knights, and it was the common idea of most nobles.

Certainly not Rolf's opinion.

He had already made contact with the rebels.

As a light cavalry, he was like a ghost wandering among the southern commanders, easily came to the territory of the rebels, and made his own decisions, and reluctantly reached an alliance with these rebels.

And he looked at the nearly 10,000 prisoners of the Silver Plate Kingdom inside, wearing all kinds of leather armor or inlaid iron armor, with a short sword or hand axe hanging from their waists, and a spear in their hands, and their brows couldn't help but be slightly raised.

Although most of the soldiers were armed with straw forks and dung forks, covered with leather made of cowhide or sheepskin, the real elite, these former captives of the Silverplate Kingdom, were no less than ordinary regular troops.

It can be seen that these captives of the Silver Plate Kingdom have been prepared for ten years.

Perhaps he had long wanted to start a rebellion.

I've been waiting for an opportunity.

And now, it's a good opportunity for these captives to completely disrupt the Lion Principality and take the stage!

PS: Recommend a friend's "Start from a Desert Island to Fight for Hegemony", for Liu Cheng, who has traveled to the alternate continent with the existence of heroes from 5,000 years of history up and down in China, the most important thing is not to use the system he carries with him to fight for hegemony and start a life of bull breaking, but how to survive on this empty desert island... The character is still guaranteed, and there are 3 million words to complete...
