Chapter 17 Before the first battle
The five thousand army went north and the road was naturally safe. This was still within the territory of the Warlin Kingdom. After arriving at the Earl's Corps on the border, they gathered hundreds of soldiers under the Earl's Corps here. The number of troops expanded to 5,500.
Among these 5,500 troops, more than 3,000 were regular soldiers of the country and were elite soldiers and powerful generals selected from various territories. There were more than 500 iron armored knights - they were all enthroned knights of the nobles of the kingdom.
There are more than 2,000 mercenaries and private soldiers of the mob, including Lin Kaixin's 190. Of course, Lin Kaixin would not think that his subordinates were mobs. Although the level is lower than the elite of the kingdom, the equipment can completely make up for a part of the gap.
When he arrived at the border, King Warlin held the first military meeting. He did not discuss how to fight, but encouraged the meeting. The focus was to inform private soldiers and mercenary leaders like Lin Kaixin that there would be titles, territory, and gold coins.
Of course, the premise is to win and defeat the Tang San Kingdom.
The king of Tang San Kingdom, the king is the Tang San Kingdom, abbreviated as Tang San, and the name of the country is abbreviated as Tang San Kingdom.
When Tang San was young, he was an idol of many non-primary nobles. Tang San was born in the Tang royal family and ranked third in his family. Generally speaking, such royal children cannot share their family property.
The inheritance method here is the system of inheritance for the eldest son. The eldest son inherits everything, and other children will give themselves some money to make a living when they grow up. Even if the royal family will not actively divide their own land, then the smaller the division is.
More than 20 years ago, Tang San was such a royal family without inheritance. When he was a member of the adult family, he only had a servant, a housekeeper, and an escort, as well as a small amount of funds.
With just such a little resources, Tang San forced a mercenary group to recruit prisoners, and later he suppressed bandits and recruited prisoners. The mercenary group became bigger and bigger. At this time, his father's Tang Er Kingdom was in a turmoil, and even the king Tang Er was killed in a war. The royal city and most of the territory of the capital were captured by the enemy, and the country's royal heirs and most of the nobles were killed or captured.
At this time, Tang San led his men to defend the city in the last city of the kingdom, and then launched a Jedi counterattack, recapturing the five occupied cities and capitals in one breath, and rebuilt the Tang Kingdom. From then on, Tang San claimed to be the Third Emperor of Tang.
From then on, Tang San became stronger and stronger. In more than 20 years, not only did he take back the cities that had fallen before the Tang Kingdom one by one, but he even seized many enemies. The cities of Tang Kingdom also changed from single digits to double digits. The land area and population increased several times.
It was not until these years that King San of Tang became older and began to lose his compulsory foreign conquests. The surrounding countries had a chance to breathe, and under the banner of regaining lost land, they began to besiege the Tang San Kingdom.
The point is that the three kings of Tang are located in the Central Plains and are surrounded by enemies. If they do not attack, they will definitely be attacked by the enemy.
The situation in Woling Country is much better. Woling Country faces the sea south. In this era, sea transportation is not yet developed, but there are some small fishing boats along the coast, so it is impossible to travel far away from the sea, so there is no need to worry that the enemy will come from the sea.
The east of the Warlin Kingdom is a mountain range. If you guard the two passes in the mountains, you will basically eliminate the possibility of attack by the enemy in the east - unless the enemy in the east bypasses from the Tang San Kingdom, it is obviously impossible.
The Wolin Kingdom should pay attention to the enemies from the north and the west. However, the Wolin Kingdom, the Wolin Kingdom, has been invaded by the Tang San Kingdom over the years. Before the collapse of the Tang San Kingdom, the Wolin Kingdom was still a trusted ally - or the enemy of the enemy.
In short, after this military meeting, all the private soldiers and mercenary leaders were greatly motivated. Everyone felt that if they killed the Tang San Kingdom, everything would be possible. In fact, it was almost the same. The Wolin Kingdom is not a powerful country now, and the country has only nine cities and royal cities. The population is less than one million.
Facing the Tang San Kingdom, which has more than 20 cities, even if it occupys a part, it will be enough for the Wolin Kingdom to have a mouth full of oil.
By then, military merits, titles and fiefs will not be a problem. As for money, it will naturally be reserved for everyone in the treasury of the Tang San Kingdom. Let's wait for everyone to reach out to get it.
Although the Wolin Kingdom is weak, the advantage is that it can concentrate its troops. Although the Tang San Kingdom is strong, it has to attack from all sides to defeat the enemy invading. The three mercenary commanders analyzed Lin Kaixin all the way, and even Lin Kaixin felt that the chance of victory was quite good.
On the fifth day after the military meeting, it rained on the road, and the flood washed away the road and delayed some time to build the road. After the ninth day of the border military meeting, the army arrived in the territory of the Tang San Kingdom. The army sent by the Tang San Kingdom was also far away.
In order to fight against the army of Wolin Kingdom, the Tang San Kingdom sent a five thousand army, including the eldest prince. Although I don’t know how many mercenaries there were, since Tang San took office, he has been famous for making good use of mercenaries, and there must be many.
The two sides looked at each other from afar on the plains, and then set up camps - the war was to be fought, but not today. Everyone was tired of marching today. First, they camped for a rest, and then bury the pot to make rice. The decisive battle was at least tomorrow.
Because tomorrow it is likely that he will die, many soldiers and mercenaries who received the bounty (An Jiafu) went to the small tent of the merchant behind him, with enough alcohol and women waiting for them.
In fact, Lin Kaixin was a little nervous, but she went back to Earth temporarily and wanted to ask Huang Yi to come out and everyone went to the hotel to applaud Love.
As a result, Huang Yi was having a dinner with her roommates - well, this time Huang Yi was treating her. After having a seafood meal last time, Huang Yi fell in love with delicious food, and delicious food should not be defeated.
However, you have to worry about stomach cold when eating seafood frequently. This time everyone went to eat snowflake beef.
I went to a restaurant with a good reputation, but it was not a serious Western food. I could eat beef after frying it, so I didn’t have to go to cook Weiguoren. However, my sisters still opened red wine and then put it together with knife and fork.
The ladies had a dinner together, but Lin Kaixin still didn't want to get involved. No one took his family, so Lin Kaixin watched a few episodes of the Caribbean Pirates at home. Then he slept for a short time and turned back to the battlefield.
When inspecting the mercenary group, Lin Kaixin discovered that most of the mercenaries were maintaining their weapons. Thinking about it, they would use them tomorrow. In fact, the mercenaries had to maintain their weapons every day, which was also the rule of the mercenary group, and the same was true for regular troops. However, the robber gangs do not pay attention to this, but if they really fight, the robber gangs often lose more and win less.
