Chapter 65 (1/2)
While speaking, the general arrived.
The matter they just discussed could not be put on the agenda until the end of the war at the earliest.
Looking around, they came late, and other nobles and lords basically came together.
This made the young Baron more discontented. Obviously, he was the last one to receive the notice. This was just like when he, the supreme commander, was transparent and sat down in his seat without saying a word.
”All of you have been summoned because of a very unusual news from the front sentry.”
It was general Christopher, who had filled patream's opinion, who was a civilian general from a farmer's family.
His face is not brilliant. His skin is dark. He is not tall or short. Even his muscles are not obvious. Many irregular knights are more developed than him. People who don't know his identity think he is a farmer digging in the field. No one will associate him with the champion knight who is known as a humanoid monster.
”What's the exception? Is the other party out of the city, ready to fight with us head-on? ”
”On the contrary, the other side's outposts have been withdrawn, and none of them are left. Our outposts have reached the bottom of Bastille.”
”It's normal. We're all on board. What's the use of their hundreds of outposts? It's not enough for us to charge. Naturally, we'll retreat. ”
”If that's all, I won't bother you to make a trip. Just now, a sentinel reported that Bastille is now an empty city.”
”What?”
”Empty city?”
”Is there any mistake?”
”You can't make a mistake. Several sentinels have come back with the same information. Now we are preparing people to go in and investigate!”
”The other side abandoned the city and fled?”
”Coward! Shameless coward! How can they abandon the city and escape? What about our military achievements? ”
”Chase, we must chase. Even if we chase into the mountains, we must find out these cowards. All the men will be killed, and all the women, children and children will become slaves.”
”Idiot, you are not afraid that this is a trap set by others, waiting for you to bump into it?”
”Trap? Are you kidding? How big a trap is it to hold so many of us? Even if there is a trap, it's broken for them. ”
For a moment, the whole general's camp became a pot of porridge. Obviously, the reaction of the other side was totally unexpected. According to their habitual logical thinking, those mountain people who occupied the Bastille should be based on the city's hard guard, so that they would have the greatest chance of winning.
Now it's good. Their army has been assembled and is about to open. They even find that their enemies are gone. This feeling is like a heavy blow, but they hit a ball of cotton, which makes people feel uncomfortable vomiting blood.
”Although it was unexpected, it was also reasonable that the other side was in a state of loose sand. Seeing that our army was about to arrive, we were afraid that we would not be able to defend it. Of course, we had to flee.” Patream sneered.
”Well, it will save us a lot of trouble. As long as we take the Bastille, we will finish half of our task. Do those idiots think that if we give up Bastille, we will let him go? They can run away without Bastille, can't they even lose Andes mountain? ”
”If you want to win the battle, you want the booty, you can go to the other party's nest directly. That's what Bolton could have done with a group of greedy men. Can't we have so many lords and nobles to do it? At that time, we'll make a big one, turn the whole Andes Mountains upside down, drive out all the mountain people and become our slaves. ”
”Well said, even if they can run again, they will not be able to run out of the Andes mountains. Let's take more trouble and walk more mountains.”
”What are you waiting for? Do you really want to fight a tough battle if you hurry up and try to spend the night in the Bastille tonight, and the other side of the province turns back and runs back? All of them are old soldiers. I don't know how high the death rate of the siege side is in the siege war, right? All of them are soldiers brought out by themselves. If you can do less damage, you will lose one less. ”
”General, what are you waiting for? Give orders
Ever since he introduced the situation, Christopher has been frowning and watching the people's quarrel. He originally wanted to find something useful from their quarrel. In the end, he concluded that they were all vulgar and incompetent people, including patriam, the second in line successor of the Phelan family.
They think of their own interests at the first time. None of them is from the other side's point of view to analyze the other party's intention with tactical vision. Does the other side really think that Andes mountain people are a group of incompetent pigs waiting for them to slaughter?
