Chapter 5 Ella is doing math problems (9)
"In view of the fact that pants limit the lower limbs of human beings, the soul of human beings, and that pants are an insult to all life except human beings, I, the consul of the Almani Federal, have ordered that wearing pants nationwide is illegal and will be punished by the death penalty, and all the various pants that have existed must be burned, and the ashes will be evenly sprinkled on the tombs of our ancestors."
At the end of the letter, the seal of the consul of the Almani Federal Republic was solemnly stamped.
"This Count of Ile-de-France!"
Ella was so angry that she almost rushed up to tear the decree that was stuck to the wall.
Ella was taking more than a dozen members of the ancient Abraham church to Normandy. From there, he could quickly arrive at Stadt by boat.
Then, they saw the decree.
There was a quiet and peaceful scene around Normandy. People came and went on the road, but no one cared about this decree. Even the guards were snoring under this decree.
However, such an Earl of France caused no trouble to Ella and the others. Two people who went to the port to explore the way back tiptoed back and whispered: "There is a large group of guards at the port who are checking the Semitics and looking for an ancient book."
It was obvious that this was done by the Abraham Orthodox Church. As the consul of the Almany Federation, the Earl of France was like a lackey of the Abraham Orthodox Church. In a very short time, he mobilized his troops according to the request of the Abraham Orthodox Church.
The sea route was no longer available. The members of the ancient Abraham church began to whisper about which road route to go.
Amid the crowd's discussion, Ella suddenly asked, "Does anyone know the mayor of Lubeck?"
Everyone shook their heads unanimously.
"Are you sure?"
Everyone nodded unanimously.
"Since that's the case, there may be spies among us."
A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone didn't know why Ella made such a judgment. Habiba blew up and said, "I'm so worried, right? All of them are members of the ancient church of Abraham, so they would never give such an important book as "The Technique of the Chariots"..."
"The Technique of the Chariots to the Sky" is not famous among outsiders, right? The book is written in Hebrew and most people cannot understand it, right? Even if you can understand it, the contents are in cryptic texts, and most people cannot see any value, right?"
Ella asked three replies in a row. Seeing that everyone was not opposed to this, she continued:
"Since that's the case, why did Mayor Lubeck price this ordinary book for 500 Nomisma? This is not a small amount!"
"It's indeed a bit strange..." Gottfried pondered.
"Obviously, Mayor Lubeck has a certain connection with the ancient church of Abraham. He wants to auction the book and be taken away by the apostles, and he cannot remain indifferent. But all of you who have come forward to protect the book say that you don't know Mayor Lubeck, which makes me suspicious."
Ella glanced at everyone again.
"Of course, this is just a guess without any evidence. But for our safety, we still have to be careful. I will plan the entire route for the next one. Is it OK?"
...
...
Amy seemed to have heard someone say: After the war, there will be heavy rain.
She looked up at the sky. There was a layer of clouds in the sky, as if it could rain at any time. This made the positions of both armies gloomy. No matter how bright the polished armor was, it lost its luster under the dark clouds.
The enemy had already formed a formation and advanced towards Amy and the others. Every time they took a step forward, the heavier the oppression on the battlefield.
A battle between the Allied forces of the Almani and the Pirate Kingdom will soon begin on this battlefield.
Grahead hurried to Amy.
"I made a rough judgment based on the opponent's flag. The enemy's troops gathered this time were about 15,000."
"Ten fifteen thousand? It doesn't sound like a lot. There are more than 30,000 people here."
Those participating in this battle were almost all the lords of the Swedish Kingdom and some of Hestein's vassals. If the incident hadn't caused the lords to be able to raise all the supplies they needed for a while, Amy's troops would have doubled.
In fact, when these lords arrived, the number of people suddenly increased, which made logistics supplies tight for a while. This situation did not improve slightly until the city of Hamburg was captured. However, Amy was not worried about this. The suddenness of this war was the same for the Allemany Federation.
Duke Otto gathered more than thirty lords in the Almani Federation, but the number was only 15,000. This is probably the reason.
"It is true that as you said, we have the advantage in terms of the number of people and the combat capabilities of infantry. But the key to the problem is that the pirate kingdom does not have the tradition of horse-riding combat, we only have infantry! The lords of the Almani Federation always have a team of knights. Although each lord has not many knights, they can gather together and organize a heavy armored cavalry that can play a key role in the battle situation! The plains are not good for us!"
"Didn't you have expected this long ago, so you have placed our troops on the high ground? What are you still worried about now?"
Since Amy had no idea about military affairs, all the operations along the way were actually dispatched by Graheide. After hearing that the coalition forces led by Duke Otto approached, Graheide immediately set up a position on a high ground where the enemy must pass, waiting for the enemy to arrive.
The direct troops from the Ella territory were in the central army. Grahaide arranged this unit into three fronts, and Amy was protected in the last front and was at the highest position in the entire battlefield. In order to further ensure Amy's safety, Grahaide also asked the soldiers to set up a simple camp and set up simple fortifications such as horse-resistance and thorns.
In addition to the central army, the troops of other lords were arranged on both sides of the high ground. Graheide allowed the troops of these lords to form two fronts. The lords who supported Amy were arranged in the front line to charge and kill the enemy; and because the lords who opposed Amy might fight passively, Graheide was arranged in the latter line to protect the two wings of the central army.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "The problem lies in the supplies! Come with me!"
Grahyid climbed up a rock and pointed to a quick place in the distance to show Amy. Not far behind Duke Otto's Central Army, hundreds of trolleys carrying supplies were connected, forming a large circle. The inside of the large circle was protected by an astonishing number of cattle, sheep, horses, and soldiers responsible for transporting supplies. The trolleys in the siege were also very huge, one and a half tall, and could hold five adults inside. It must have been filled with a lot of military supplies.
Amy was surprised: "How could it be? In such a short time and so many supplies, this should be far beyond the raising ability of these lords!"
"We can only think that they were prepared for it. Before we launched the attack, even before the Swedish king landed on Stad, these lords of the Almani Federation were already prepared for war."
"Preparing for war? To whom?"
"You will know just by thinking about it. The only one closest to the Duke of Anglia is the kingdom of Pirates."
"They have long wanted to attack the Pirate Kingdom?"
"I can only say that we are one step faster than them - but this kind of thing doesn't matter. Although I am confident to block the enemy's attack, the enemy's supplies are far more sufficient than we imagined, not to mention that this is in the enemy's borders, and protracted war will be detrimental to us. But if we take the initiative to attack, we have to go down to the high ground and face the heavy armored cavalry troops head-on."
"The hero King Hestein once defeated the First Field Army of the Qiqiu Empire with 10,000 infantry. It was a 25,000 troops, and was also equipped with a large number of cavalry. How did he do it?"
"So he is the hero king, and I am just a little lord under the Swedish king. Of course, if it were the Knight King or the Swedish king, they would have done the same thing. But I can't do it."
"You have a 30,000 troops in your hands now?"
Graheide shook his head: "If those lords could completely obey my command, my confidence would be greater."
Amy couldn't speak for a moment. She knew that what Graheide was saying was the fact. At the moment when Ella was away, the lords of the Pirate Kingdom were completely dispersed. Although she had gathered these lords in name, most of the lords were still slandering her.
She stared at the car array in the distance for a while.
"I don't know something very well. Normally, will the supplies be placed so close?"
"If it is a well-prepared battle, military supplies should be placed much further away from the main battlefield, half a day, one day, or even three days away from the battlefield. But it is hard to say during the march. The enemy probably didn't expect that I would set up the position here, so I had no time to prepare, so I hurriedly protected the supplies in the rear of the central army with a cart."
