Chapter 46 Ten Years

After the entire Earl of Rhodes was turned upside down by Zhou Ming, it didn't take long before the ferocious monster of Glen Territory was completely revealed to all the forces in the Kingdom of Voorhees.

A rebellious place with only the highest lord and no feudal knight below.

It is a rebellious place where the political system and the development model of industry, agriculture and commerce are unconventional and even absurd.

A rebellious place where out-of-work farmers are recruited and trained to build a peasant army.

A rebellious place that is treacherous, colludes with thieves, plunders the property of other territories, and murders noble lords and knights!

The nobles, farmers, and thieves in this rebellious land must be uprooted one by one at all costs, and completely eradicated!

Ten years, seven encirclement and suppression campaigns.

In the small kingdom of Voris, wars have been going on almost continuously.

However, during the seven sieges and suppressions, Glenland, which was in the center of the storm, not only was not crushed by the storms one after another, but actually won a complete victory in the seven sieges and suppressions!

The scope of the area controlled by the Glen Territory also expanded from the small Glen Territory at the beginning to the entire earldom of Rhodes, then the earldom of Merlin in the north, the earls of Bame and Jokan in the west, until it occupied the Kingdom of Voris The eastern half of the country.

Seeing that the rebel forces are getting stronger and stronger, occupying more and more territory, and more and more people and property are being plundered and robbed by thieves, King Helian has to take out all the treasures in the treasury and is willing to At the cost of ceding four counts, he asked for help from the Qiulin Kingdom in the west and borrowed a knighthood of 2,000 heavily armored knights that was pieced together by the entire Qiulin Kingdom.

Together with King Helian, 3,000 barbarian mercenaries recruited from the Northern Savage Kingdom with huge sums of money, and the few remaining 500 knights in the country, a terrifying legion of 5,500 people went straight to the core of the rebel area. ——Leave to Grand City (Grand City, a city expanded on the basis of Rose Town and Glenland Castle).

Zhou Ming was well prepared for this. He issued a general summons order in the area under his control. Within ten days, he pulled out a force including 5,000 elite crossbowmen, 10,000 elite spearmen and 3,000 elite soldiers. A huge legion, including light cavalry, advanced towards the location of the decisive battle.

Before the decisive battle, the "Alibaba Thieves Group" of more than 3,000 people led by the great thief Jero had already taken the lead and wreaked havoc in the area controlled by King Helian, cut off the food and grass transportation lines of the crusade, and set up traps to ambush a large number of people. The soldiers of the expeditionary army suffered heavy losses in their personnel and baggage during the march, and their morale plummeted.

The final decisive battle between the two armies was on an open and flat grassland called the Tingen Plateau. It was covered with green and yellow grassland for hundreds of miles.

Riding his horse on a high ground, Zhou Ming, dressed in military uniform, saw the lineup of the king's expeditionary army on the opposite mountainside.

"Ten cavalry phalanxes, about 2,200 people, 15 mercenary phalanxes, about less than 3,000 people, a total of just over 5,000 people. It's not too challenging."

Zhou Ming curled his lips and expressed disdain in the face of this military force that could destroy a small kingdom.

Of course, if he can say such big words, he naturally has the confidence to say such big words.

One of the sources of confidence is the invincible tiger and wolf army he has built over a period of 13 years and has gone through dozens of bloody battles without a single defeat. Instead, he has become stronger and more courageous as he fights.

This army of tigers and wolves was delighted to hear the battle. As soon as the order was given, they gathered quickly. Once on the battlefield, they fought hard to snatch heads and compete for military glory. Then they exchanged land, servants, titles and bounties from Zhou Ming. Everything was clear. The price is marked, one head corresponds to one reward, the heads are limited, the more you take, the more you get.

Secondly, Zhou Ming's confidence comes from the good development momentum of Gran City and the surrounding control areas. Agricultural output has increased year by year, industry and commerce have developed rapidly and with great vitality, a population base of more than 150,000, and an extremely prosperous market economy have allowed the annual tax collection Various taxes are enough to support an elite army of more than 20,000 people.

In addition, the year before last, he sent a group of thieves to occupy a medium-sized iron mine on the border with the Iron Castle Kingdom. Glenland, which has a stable source of ore, used blast furnaces to make steel. In less than two years, The steel output was suddenly increased tenfold from less than 100 tons per year to 1,000 tons per year.

With enough steel and the excellent craftsmen recruited by Zhou Ming, the quality of the armor he provided to the Glenland Defense Force was naturally improved by several levels compared to the original. For example, the crossbowmen were completely replaced with steel armor inside. The spring-loaded steel crossbow has a range increased by 50% and a lethality doubled!

The pikemen, after a complete change of equipment, became heavily armored pikemen wearing plate armor and holding steel spears.

As for the light cavalry, that's even worse. They have completely replaced their breastplates and sabers, and each knight is equipped with two small steel crossbows. Their melee and long-range combat capabilities have been greatly improved, and they can even use their own good skills. Mobility, with the same number of people, kiting tactics can be used to kill knights.

Therefore, Zhou Ming, who was superior in terms of numbers, equipment, morale, logistics and other aspects, had no doubts about the final outcome of this decisive battle.

"Brave soldiers, the time has come to gain military merit and glory. Grab the weapons in your hands and attack!"

Pulling out the sword from his waist, Zhou Ming gave the order to attack.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

Amidst the banging of war drums, the thick military line moving down the mountainside was like a wall, walking in neat steps, licking their dry lips, showing a cruel smile, and walked towards the "military heroes" in front.

Under the sunlight, looking at the forest of iron walls and spears shining brightly on the opposite side, it was like a huge wave sweeping in, rushing towards our weak "body". Many of King Helian's crusade army The soldiers were trembling with fear.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Two torrents of steel, one large and one small, suddenly collided together, sparks burst out, blood surged, broken limbs, and stars fell to the ground.

In this battle, Gran City's "Tiger and Wolf Legion" annihilated the king's crusade, which numbered more than 5,200 people, with less than 2,000 casualties, and achieved a complete victory in the last counter-punitive battle.

After the Battle of Tingen Plateau, Zhou Ming did not stop his march. Instead, he headed west along the Beira River and entered the rich and fertile Beira Plain, preparing to capture the city in the center of the plain that he had long coveted— —Woz City, the capital of the kingdom.

However, not long after Zhou Ming's Tiger and Wolf Legion besieged Woz City and before they launched a general offensive, a mysterious messenger from Grand City hurriedly sent a secret letter, causing him to immediately stop military operations and announce that all The army retreated and quickly returned to Gran City.

"Donny, Donny, you can be your lord and enjoy your glory and wealth. I will help you develop the economy, train soldiers, and expand your territory... You can just sit back and enjoy your achievements. Why do you want to make such a fool of yourself? What about the trouble? Indeed, I promised Baron Connor that I would not harm you, but you have gone so far, so what reason do I have to be so merciful?"

A cold killing intent flashed in Zhou Ming's calm eyes!
