Chapter 477. The gap that arises between the two sides
Rolf had already met with the leader of the rebels, and he didn't really have much affection for the self-proclaimed Lord of the Silverplate Kingdom, a former knight, and now the commander-in-chief of the rebels, Korod.
That's right, Rolf, who is at the bottom line of the aristocratic class, actually has a bad feeling for the former noble lord, which is really a bit of a joke, but Rolf is indeed more scummy about this bottom line, burning, killing and looting, letting the troops under his command do all kinds of evil, and pouring out his anger to the civilians of the Lion Duchy who used to treat them badly, a little unaccustomed.
However, Rolf also had to express his understanding of this behavior.
This is also the reason why he did not turn his face.
He's not a good guy.
But it is not a complete evildoer, with this sentence is a bit paradoxical, but after Rolf and Fatis stayed together for a long time, they can detect a change in their personality, perhaps because of Kant.
What kind of person is the leader, and the subordinates will take the initiative to change or get closer.
A game is a game after all.
And now it's reality.
Rolf didn't say much, not even advice.
The lord of the former Silver Plate Kingdom is now on a very correct route, which is to use his hatred for the slave owners of the Lion Principality to awaken the blood of his subordinates who have been serfs for ten years and were once soldiers!
If it weren't for this, the whole army would have been wiped out in countless encirclements and suppressions!
The troops need to be supported.
Hatred is the most powerful point of support.
With hatred for the Lion Principality, this group of serfs can burst out with absolute power.
Even if the battlefield situation is poor, they can persist because of hatred, gritting their teeth and experiencing a large number of casualties, and they will surrender only when they are irretrievable, and before that, the infantry of those lion principalities are estimated to have collapsed long ago!
Fighting with casualties, this group of rebel army based on hatred will definitely not be weak!
That's why Rolf didn't say much.
He's not a good guy.
Even if he was not accustomed to this kind of burning, killing and looting, he did not stop it.
The current rebel army is just able to share the pressure of the coalition army of the northern county leader, as long as the noble troops of the southern county leader continue to divide their troops and come to eliminate these guys, then the initiative on the frontal battlefield will be lost more and more.
If the Northern Commandery's coalition wins, then the Southern Commander will be in their pocket.
Of course.
There is no way to say about the distribution of benefits at that time.
At least Rolf didn't want these so-called rebels to gain even a little benefit.
The Lion Principality is Lord Kant's, this group of former serfs, the guys who destroyed the basic agriculture of the Southern County Territory, it is difficult to get out of the whole body, as for the so-called distribution of benefits, it is pure pipe dream!
Sooner or later, this group of captives of the Silver Plate Kingdom will be completely annihilated.
Rolf already had a plan in mind.
It's just that.
The captive rebels, who were unable to return to the kingdom of the Silver Platter, temporarily pinned their hopes on Kant.
Although they were still jealous of Rolf, they themselves knew that if they lost the support of external forces, they would sooner or later be completely annihilated by the local nobles of the Southern County Territory.
As the leader of the rebel army, Korod knew very well that the current situation had reached a critical moment.
So he thought he could negotiate with Rolf.
…………
A farm somewhere in the South County Territory.
Korod sat in the front seat, flanked by chainmail-clad guards and captains.
According to the military positions they once held in the Silver Plate Kingdom, they quickly sorted out the complete command structure, and it can be said that they were able to solve the private armies of the nobles who came to encircle and suppress, relying on the military concepts they had to quickly recover.
More than 10,000 old troops of the Silver Plate Kingdom who are gradually regaining their combat effectiveness.
and more than 20,000 peasants or serfs who were held hostage.
After all, there were not only captive slaves on the farm, but also serfs formed by bankruptcy.
As long as they are used well, they are no less than the old departments of these silver plate kingdoms, they have nothing to rely on, and now they have the possibility of becoming free people, how can they not work hard? Even if you die by yourself and enjoy it for a while, that's enough!
Rolf entered the farm and looked at Korod in the seat.
Looking around at the guards and other captains around him, he frowned slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Korod, what's wrong?" ”
"Please be seated, Mr. Rolf."
Korod smiled, looked at him and nodded: "It's nothing, we plan to talk to you about the next direction of attack." After a pause, he said, "I heard that the coalition forces of the Northern County Leader are still in a stalemate with the Knights of the Southern County Territory?" It's been a while. ”
"That's right." Rolf frowned: "So what direction of attack do you want to talk about?" ”
"We found that according to the original plan, it is a bit dangerous to attack the Knights directly and deal with the North County Coalition Army from the front." Korod did not hesitate at all: "We want to go around and return to the Silver Plate Kingdom!" ”
"Yes, we all want to go home!" The other captains nodded.
"Home?"
Rolf smiled, "Swim across the Resniston River, and then return to your Silverplate Kingdom through the front line of war that the Duchy of Lion has arranged on the south bank of the river specifically to resist the Silverplate Kingdom?" ”
"Uhhhhh
"No kidding."
The old god of Rolf was at ease: "You can't even solve the private army of the Southern County Lord, and the larger noble manors can't attack, how can you pass through the heavily defended, fortresses and bunkers everywhere, and the south bank of the Resniston River in the war castle?" He smiled and said, "Even if the Silver Plate Kingdom wants to gnaw down that line of defense, it will be difficult!" ”
"But we broke it at the beginning!" There was a retort from the captain.
"That's the Lion Principality unprepared."
Rolf said lightly: "Now after ten years of development, most of the tax burden of the entire Lion Principality every year is used on the defense line to defend the Silver Plate Kingdom, are you sure you can still break it?" Shrugging his shoulders slightly, he nodded and said: "Okay, then let's say that the development of the Silver Plate Kingdom is also huge, and after paying a certain price, he finally broke through that line of defense, and completely brought the south bank of the Resniston River under his control, just like the south bank of the river in the East County Territory has become the new county of the Silver Plate Kingdom, but are you sure that your troops can do this?" ”
"What do you mean?" There is a captain with a fiery personality who has raised his eyebrows.
"I'm sorry."
Rolf shrugged: "You guys are really too weak. ”
He looked around the captain in the room, and finally turned his gaze to Korod: "According to our plan, we will directly flank and defeat the knights of the Southern County Territory, then we will have the qualification to negotiate with the Lion Duchy, and when the time comes, Lord Kant will become the new Grand Duke, and you will be his powerful reinforcements." After a pause, Rolf said in a deep voice: "Even if it is not impossible to become a nobleman here, do you think that if you return to the Silver Plate Kingdom, you will be able to restore your former glory?" I'm sorry, but your family would have preferred you to die on the battlefield than to be humiliated as captives and serfs, enslaved for ten years! ”
