Chapter 66 (1/2)

”Double the number of sentries, with the army as the center, and investigate all intelligence within 20 li of the area, without letting go of any suspicious information.”

”Yes

”The march speed of the army slows down by 30%, pay attention to the connection between the army and the grain transportation team, and ensure the logistics safety as the first priority.”

”Yes

”Camp out of Bastille tonight, no admittance.”

”Yes

After a brief adjustment, the army led by the Manyu army once again attacked the Bastille.

Although the speed of the March decreased, the whole army became a giant hedgehog.

Ambush such an army, it is very difficult to get a good deal, a little carelessness will make their own body black and blue.

Until the army reached the Bastille, let alone ambush, not to mention an ambush, not even a living man was seen.

The empty doors of Bastille were wide open, and all kinds of flags and dilapidated armor were scattered all over the ground. Even the city walls were also dilapidated, covered with dark red blood, which was the blood stains that had not been cleaned after encouraging and fighting. The whole city looked like a city devastated by war.

Christopher did not directly drive the army into Bastille, which had nothing to do with Conrad's suggestion, but out of the instinct of a veteran. In the face of any abnormal situation, prudence is not necessarily the most correct choice, but the safest choice.

At first, the noble private army carried out the general Christopher's order, but with the careless leakage of a piece of news, it completely exploded. I don't know whether it was the Andes who withdrew in a hurry or they didn't know the goods. There were a large number of antiques and paintings in Bastille that didn't come and go.

In order to win the name of the nouveau riche, old Burton likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings and put them in his inner castle. He pretends to be noble and elegant. He is famous in the whole Manyu army.

It is said that nearly half of the wealth created by Bastille was bought by him. Among them, there are some famous genuine treasures, and many of them are hard to find. The Sentinels who went into the city to investigate the situation and picked up some of them at random were worth 3000 or 4000 Byron gold coins, which all caught up with the annual financial revenue of a small town.

Don't mention those little lords and nobles whose deficit crisis is serious. Even a lot of noble lords with rich family wealth are also very hot. What did they come here for?

Kill the enemy and serve the country.

That's the business of young people who haven't grown up in their brains.

Make contributions and make contributions.

This is true, but the real purpose behind the success is wealth.

And now wealth is in front of them, within reach.

At the beginning, a lot of people were worried about it, but after more and more people swarmed into the Bastille, their eyes suddenly changed.

No matter how much old Burton's collection was, it was limited. Now he was quick, but he was slow. When he went late, there was no hair left. As for Christopher's orders, they had long been forgotten.

It was too late for Christopher to stop them. After all, they belonged to the aristocratic private army and had great freedom of movement. What's more, they were not the only ones who were envious, but the families of the Fallon led by themselves.

The generals of the four main legions had been in and out of his barracks no less than three times. They all suggested that he should drive the army directly into Bastille. He also racked his brains and listed several specious necessities.

In the final analysis, I was attracted by the temptation of wealth and wanted to share a share of the game.

Not only these leaders, but also the soldiers below, also fled the camp with envy and wanted to join the Bastille. Some of them were bold and arrogant, and some of them were instructed by their superiors.

Christopher's reputation among the four regiments has been in decline ever since.

It's the so-called way to block people's wealth, such as killing parents. How could he be successful if he killed so many parents today?

However, the resentment lasted only half a night. When the big fire broke out and the bottom-up Donglei echoed in his ears, everyone's eyes on Christopher changed, and the curse in his heart turned into praise.

Such as anticipating the enemy's opportunities, anticipating things as God, being wise and powerful, and predicting the future It all fell on the veteran general.

Little did not know that the wise and mighty general in their mouth was also covered with cold sweat at this time.

Only he knew that he was far from being as tough as he was. Under the pressure from the bottom to the top, his heart had been shaken. It was not his greed for the wealth in the Bastille, but his position came from the support of the soldiers. If he lost the support of the soldiers, his value in the eyes of Duke bog would plummet.

If the other side started later, he would be ready to send his troops into Bastille in the morning.

No one can tell where the Bastille fire started.

It seems that in a few minutes, the whole Bastille was caught in a sea of fire. The Lords and nobles who were fascinated by wealth and their private army were panicked like frightened mice.At this moment, they didn't care about any wealth at all. They only hated their parents for giving birth to their own two legs, so they couldn't escape the inferno.

Frightened crowd began to rush to the gate, a few minutes will be a large city gate crowded tightly.
