Today's Valentine's Day, I wish everyone a happy Valentine's Day, hehe.
Seeing the book review, some people speculated whether I would take leave to break the change today, and some people bet that this chapter is more out, and it is estimated that there are many people who lose, hahahaha.
I said that I will try to update the recovery status, and I didn't go out tonight, so I coded at home.
'Chapter 433: Get out of the cage and get out of the cage four Chuck City.
This is the first city captured by Char's 800-horseman army after quietly entering Syltan County.
The thousands of Odin defenders stationed here were destroyed in the Great War.
After Char's 800 horsemen occupied the small city, they did not stop long, but plundered all the horses and livestock in the city, replenished a certain amount of provisions, and then quickly headed south.
There were originally 2,000 annexes in the city, most of which were originally subordinate to the Corsican Military Region, and there were also a small number of the original local garrison army of Siltan County, and after the entire Siltan County and Corsican Military Region were annexed by Manninger, these troops surrendered and surrendered, and those who were destroyed were finally reorganized and used by Manninger.
At this moment, the two thousand attached troops in this city have not dispersed.
Char Adam said that the time to enter and leave the city was extremely short.
When Char's eight hundred horsemen were like broken bamboos, they easily annihilated a thousand Odin warriors, and after entering the city proudly, these annexed troops had already fallen into the boldness, not to mention resistance, and they didn't even dare to have half a point of escaping, but after Char entered the city, he didn't even look at these annexes, and those attached troops originally had officers and others who wanted to take the initiative to surrender, but unfortunately Char didn't seem to be interested, and ignored these people at all, and after searching for the materials needed, the whole army left the city.
Although a lot of time has passed, the shock left by the battle that day on these annexes has not been able to dissipate until today The annex army in the city has not dispersed today, just because, after the Odin people in the city were annihilated, these guys suddenly found that they had nowhere to go Originally, although they claimed to be "attached to the army", but when those Odin uncles were there, who would look at them with their eyelids seriously, these annexes were all soldiers who had surrendered before, and most of the people of Odin looked down on these guys.
Now, these masters have been killed at once, and those who killed those masters of Odin have also left.
This time, these annexes were at a loss.
In this cold winter, the entire county of Siltan was poisoned by the Odin, and if you walked in the wilderness, you were afraid that you would not encounter any people for hundreds of miles, and those villages and towns were almost empty.
It snows all over the city, and if you really leave the city, I'm afraid that you won't be able to walk for two days, and you will either starve to death or freeze to death Originally, in this troubled world, I was already content to be able to struggle to live a life, but as for who was the master, I didn't really care much about these attached troops, anyway, my home was gone, and I was all rootless.
Whoever is strong can ride on his head as a master, even if the Odin people are defeated and a new group of stronger masters come, we are nothing more than shrinking our heads and obedient, just let it be driven.
But the problem is that Char left without hesitation, but he didn't seem to have the slightest interest in co-opting these annexes It's confusing.
The livestock in the city were all looted by Char, and there was only a little surplus grain left, and if there were no livestock, if you relied on two legs to go out of the city and another way, it would naturally be a dead end.
These two thousand attached troops, in the past few days, can be said to be frightened, Du Yue was originally used to being a slave, but suddenly there was no master who shouted at him, but he had some meaning that he couldn't get by.
The biggest worry in my heart is that those Odin people are back again.
After all, in Sirtan County, Odin is powerful.
And the Odin people are the most ferocious, if once there is another Odin army here, find that the Odin defenders here have been annihilated, and their own vassals are unscathed, I am afraid that those murderous Odin people will inevitably be angry with themselves, these troops are all slaves, heavy, even if the whole army is slaughtered, it is ordinary There is no way to go, there is nowhere to go, but to stay in this city, every day is not a way.
These two thousand surrendered troops, these days, have been trapped in this Chuck City, saying that they are looking forward to it, but they don't even know what they are looking forward to.
Naturally, there is no one on the city wall to guard this city anyway, and those who surrender to the army have no heart to control any city defense, whether it is Byzantium or Odin, after coming, it is accepted, and one is coming early, let's have a new master.
But at noon on this day, the gates of Chuck City were wide open, the walls were empty, and the annexes of the city were hiding in the barracks to keep warm, and even half of the people who were patrolling were not even there.
The huge city gate was so wide open, and the snow on the road was naturally not cleared.
In the distance beyond the city gate, in the snow, in the distance, a group of horsemen appeared.
The distant cavalry is only a dozen horses, and according to the Byzantine military system, it is only a small team.
Those cavalrymen, all lined with leather jackets, covered with leather armor, and hung on their saddles, were also the standard cavalry guns of the Byzantine army.
A small group of cavalry came from far from the north, and the cavalry at the head of the platoon waited until it was not far from the city defense before calmly raising a military flag.
When this small cavalry team ran straight to the city wall, there were occasionally a few soldiers in the city gate who came out to collect snow and go back to boil water, and finally saw it, and they were startled from afar, and then they rushed away in the wind with a cry of surprise, and even the basin in their hands to collect snow was lost.
When the cavalry entered the city, all the surrendered troops in the city had been alarmed, and more than 2,000 surrendered troops just cowered in the original Odin barracks in the city, and even the camp gate did not dare to close, and 2,000 people shrank in the camp, all gathered there, and they did not dare to take a breath.
Only a few of the leading officers of the surrender army gathered in a tent, and they only looked at each other, unable to make up their minds.
After waiting for a long time, he quietly sent his henchmen to look out at the gate of the camp, but he did not see a group of Byzantine cavalry entering the city for a long time, but after hearing that those cavalry had entered the city, he went straight to the warehouse, and then walked around the city.
Finally, after entering the city, it had been a full hour, and finally came to the gate of the barracks.
The soldiers who were originally watching at the gate of the camp ran in, and they dared to stand at the door and peep It is to kill, to surrender and to defend Several officers are not decisive people, the surrendered army, and the bullying of the Odin, even if they originally had some backbone, their backbones have long been broken at this moment, where is there still half a point of courage It seemed that the time passed very slowly, and the people in the camp who were waiting for it were already about to go crazy with anxiety, and finally a military horn came from outside The Byzantine trumpet came and fell on the ears of the surrendering officers, which was first startled and then relieved.
Fortunately, it is not a clarion call for attack.
Everyone is accustomed to hearing the Byzantine military horn, and they can distinguish it clearly, which is the rhythm of the horn of military etiquette.
Immediately the sound of horses' hoofs was heard outside, and the two horsemen rushed into the camp on horseback, and the officers in the tent heard the shouts of the cavalry outside "The general has ordered the whole battalion to assemble and listen to the adult's instructions, and the whole battalion will be beheaded in less than a moment."
"The Shogun has an order" "Shogun-sama" "General" The shouts came, and the two horsemen in the camp went around the camp three times, shouting more than ten times, before they rode out of the camp gate.
The surrendered officers in the camp were suspicious in their hearts, and they discussed with each other for a while, not to mention anything else, but the title of "general" made everyone feel worried.
Could it be that the rank of general came from a high-ranking Byzantine official?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not have the courage to resist after all, and after hesitating for a moment, the officers who had surrendered to the army still came out of the barracks, divided their men, and gathered the people of each battalion to come out.
They lined up hastily, just huddled in the camp in a mess, and then everyone elected two more daring ones and went out of the camp to meet them.

Outside the wide open camp gate, finally, after a few moments, the dozen or so horsemen entered proudly With two thousand descendants, the ranks were a little scattered, allowing the more than ten cavalry to slowly pass in front of the queue.
Those soldiers, the atmosphere did not dare to speak, after all, some time ago, the Byzantine cavalry, the combat power shown was really terrifying, even the fierce Odin people were vulnerable, not to mention that these people were defeated by the Odin In any case, after worrying for a long time, since the Byzantines came to collect the city, it would be good, even if they adopted their own horses, it would be much better than not having any hope.
A few of the officers in the surrendered army hung their heads when they were timid, and they didn't even dare to look at the cavalry, and one or two of the bolder ones only dared to quietly raise their heads slightly and peep with their spare eyes.
The more than ten cavalry bypassed the queue and slowly came to the front of the camp, but they did not dismount, but lined up, lined up, among the more than ten horsemen, one of them slowly moved forward a few steps, and a knight in leather armor on horseback swept the whole audience with gloomy eyes like a lost dog, and sighed softly secretly.
"Keep your heads up."
A cold voice, in the cold wind, spread throughout the audience.
After a short silence, standing at the head of the line, two officers who had surrendered suddenly exclaimed in a low voice: "Suo, Lord Sogher" "It's Lord Thorgel" "General Sogher" The "general" who entered the city was naturally the last general of the Corsican Military Region who Char subdued, Sogher.
As the only remaining general of the Corsican Military Region, and in the past, he was quite prestigious in the Corsican army, Char spent a lot of effort and effort to subdue this General Sogher, and even took the initiative to give up the heir to the governor of the Corsican Military District, Gaia.
With such a useful person in his hand, Char couldn't make good use of it In this plan, Char took 800 cavalry into Siltan County and drove straight in, and did not incorporate those surrendered troops along the way, naturally it was not that Char was not interested in those surrendering troops, but his cavalry relied on speed and surprise attacks, and did not stop at the time to calmly collect the army.
As a supplement to the plan and the back, this general Sogher, on Char's order, walked slowly behind, following the route of Char's cavalry attack, collecting and surrendering troops along the way, and collecting Char's use.
Sogel was originally a high-ranking general in the Corsican Military District, and he was also quite prestigious.
And most of these Odin's large annexes are Corsican's surrender army, this surrender army has more than 2,000 people, and the leader is also a flag regiment-level officer, barely a senior officer, in the Corsican military district, I have also seen a real senior general like Sogher, even if others do not recognize Sogher's appearance, but they have also heard of his name.
As the person who co-opted these surrendered troops, Sogel can be said to be the best candidate He used to be a member of the Corsican military region, he was familiar with the situation of the Corsican army, and he had prestige, and from Char's selfish point of view, Sogel was an upright person and had no personal ambitions.
Sure enough, when the name of "Sogher" was called, the originally quiet surrendering team immediately sent out a burst of twitching, and many soldiers and officers of the surrendered army, whose faces were originally panicked or numb, suddenly felt a little more lively and hopeful when they heard this name Especially many people, it is clear that they seem to be relieved.
Seeing that the team suddenly had some twitching, Sogher's eyes were a little complicated, but this complicated look immediately turned into a cold and hard "Quiet" He took a deep breath, suddenly stopped drinking, and his sharp eyes swept over the officers standing in the front, and shouted: "Line up in the army, make a loud noise, what kind of noise is there, drag it out and cut it" As soon as he made a color, the more than ten horsemen on both sides of him suddenly brushed up, raised the cavalry guns flat, and suddenly the tips of more than ten guns were aimed at the surrendering team in front of him, and the tips of the guns were bright and clear, exuding a cold light To tell the truth, if it really leads to any chaos, even if the two thousand troops no longer have the backbone and blood surname, if they really mess up, it is not something that can really be suppressed by a dozen or so cavalry.
Two thousand against a dozen people, there is no need to fight, a swarm of swarms will go up, and the pressure will crush people to death.
But after all, the deterrence of the cavalry of Zi Char some time ago was still there, and once they saw that the situation was wrong, the troops immediately stopped making noise, and they all returned to quiet, just looking at Soger and the others in front of them in fear, and even the queue quietly retreated.
Sogel snorted coldly, his face full of anger: "Look at what you look like, you were originally all serious soldiers, but now I only see a puddle of mud" He exhaled and raised his hand a little bit to the officers in the front row: "A few of you talk back, everyone else shut up" The officers who were under his command looked at each other, and finally one of them, who seemed to be the highest-ranking officer, stood up two steps, saluted, and said in a respectful tone: "Makuto-sama" As soon as he heard this title, Thorgel's face suddenly sank When he was in the Corsican Military District, he held the official position of Shogun, and as a military supporter of the Governor's eldest son, the position of Shogunate was also considered a high-ranking figure in the Corsican Military District.
But at this moment, it was obviously the old man of the Corsican Military Region who shouted out the title of this position, obviously expecting Sogel to take care of the old feelings, but Sogel changed color, interrupted the other party, snorted coldly, and shouted: "There is no need to mention the previous title."
After a pause, he said slowly: "I am now under the command of Lord Char, Marshal of the Northern Theater of Operations, and I am the commander of the Third Corps of the Northern Theater of Operations.
The officer who surrendered to the army was still a little clever, and immediately changed his words: "It's the general."
Sogel's face was slightly pale, and then he said in a deep voice: "Your whole battalion is now in the number of soldiers, the number of soldiers, and the number of auxiliaries have been carefully reported to me. ” The officer's face was a little bitter, but he said respectfully: "My lord, the number of the current attached army in the city is two thousand three hundred and thirty-six people, and I will belong to the Odin people before we wait, where do those Odin barbarians know what military system, after we are absorbed, there is no difference between the soldiers and auxiliaries, but they are all classified as a battalion, but now there are two thousand and fifteen people in the battalion, all of them are here a few days ago, after the city was broken, there were deserters in the city who ran away one after another, and the rest of the people are also here." ” Sogel sneered: "Deserter, the city has been broken for a long time, and there is no control, why don't you run" The officer said honestly: "The Byzantine army that broke the city before levied all the horses and livestock in the city, and took away those who could be taken away, and those who could not be taken were slaughtered.
If there are no horses, we will run out of the city rashly, and we will freeze to death and starve to death in less than two days, we don't want to run, but we don't dare."
Sogher nodded and glanced at the officer more: "You're telling the truth." ” He paused, and said in a deep voice: "Since this city has been broken by the officials and soldiers of my empire, I am ordered to take the city of you, you occupy here, if you are willing to surrender, you will be under my command and listen to the words If you are unwilling, hum, my army in the northern theater will not go south, 8,000 cavalry will sweep over, if anyone wants to die for the Odin, I can also let him die." ” Although Sogel was telling a lie, the number of "8,000 cavalry" did scare these people A few days ago, it was just a few hundred cavalry, and it was slaughtered by a single charge of the thousands of Odin, if there were eight thousand, anyway, these troops had no intention of resisting, and as for the Odin people, it was impossible at all.
When the officer heard this, he still hesitated for a moment, and immediately knelt down on one knee first, puffed up his breath and shouted: "I am willing to surrender to my lord."
As soon as he took the lead, several officers behind him also quickly knelt down, and the soldiers behind him also did the same, and they all knelt down in the dark for a while.
Sogher's face was flat, and he said slowly: "Since I have surrendered, I will naturally not be like the Odin barbarians, and my own soldiers will be temporarily organized into a banner from today onwards, and you two thousand people will be temporarily organized into a banner."
He pointed to the leading officer again: "You have also temporarily received the position of the flag officer of the flag regiment."
The officer's face was happy, and then he heard Sogher shouting in a deep voice: "Since you are incorporated into the Third Corps of my Northern Theater of Operations, it is naturally controlled by the imperial law, I am not one of those Odin barbarians who are easy to fool our army, and the military law is strict, if someone does not listen to the order, I will not estimate the old feelings as for you" He still pointed to the officer: "Do a good job, our marshal has clear rewards and punishments, if you do well, you will have a way out, if you don't do well" Speaking of which, I didn't say much, just a sneer was enough to make those guys sweat coldly.
Without moving a knife or a shot, Sogel calmly subdued this small city, and combined two thousand surrendered troops, all of which were also absorbed.
His so-called "Third Corps of the Northern Theater" is not fake, Char really appointed the position of Sogel before the departure of this march, but this "Third Corps" originally only existed on paper.
Sogel served as the leading general, but the soldiers and horses under his command were only the more than ten horsemen who came out to accompany him as escorts, and as for any grain, grass, baggage, armor and ordnance, there was no shadow.
Char's calculation was to conquer all the way by himself, and Sogel slowly followed up and incorporated those subdued troops and attached troops.
This "Third Corps of the Northern Theater of Operations", Char simply has the idea of "empty glove wolf".
This kind of calculation can be regarded as clever.
Anyway, in Char's imagination, if it is done, with the prestige of Sogher's old name in the Corsican Military Region, collect those surrendered troops, if it goes well, he will get a corps out of thin air to gain troops, and in the future, it may not be impossible to come in handy Corsican Military Region After all, it was also a quite powerful military region before, and those Corsican surrendered troops, in fact, the quality of the soldiers was also good, but after the defeat, the homeland was annexed and absorbed by the Odin, and there were no bones, and it could still be used if it was rectified well.
In terms of taking 10,000 steps back, even if Char fails, Char doesn't invest any capital anyway, and he can't lose anything.
Sogel only stayed in the city for half a day, and then left no more than 500 men to defend the city, ordered the rest of the army to assemble, and then personally led the men and horses out of the city and went south, but along the route of Char's previous march.
The few strongholds in front have long been swept away by Char, and in the city, there are still those annexed troops, waiting for him Sogel to take them in After Manninger's victory, his morale was very high, and all the Corsican troops were absorbed by him, and he did not dare to stay in Corsica, after all, the old soldiers stayed in his homeland, and Manninger was afraid that there would be chaos, but most of them were scattered and distributed in Siltan County.
According to the calculations of Char and Sogher, the total number of these surrendered and attached armies in Siltan County is only more than 20,000 or 30,000 people, and they are like snowballing, although the force is weak at the beginning, as long as they can gather more than 10,000 people, the momentum will naturally be different At that time, with the prestige of Sogher and the cavalry deterrence of Char, maybe, it will become a force qualified to influence the situation of the battle Thorge was following Char's plan to take over city by city behind him, and in Xincheng, the capital city of Syltan County, Char's cavalry had already entered the city The battle has long ended, although Morka still left five hundred Odin warriors in the city when he went out to fight, but the field battle was defeated, Char's cavalry broke the city, and the leader of the city, Manninger's eldest son Morka, was also killed by Char himself under the city gate, so majestic, it had already made the remnants of the defenders in the city frightened.
Char's whole army fought all the way into the city, and the Odin people in the city did not have the heart to defend to the death, and a small number of conceited and brave Odin warriors fought to the death, and they were also crushed to pieces in an instant.
There were more than 100 Odin warriors, riding reindeer, and fled from the other city gates The Odin people did not defend the city and fight in the streets, but left Char with a lot of strength.
He marched into the city with his cavalry and easily swept away the resistance.
After the melee, there were also 100 wounded and captured Odin warriors, all of whom were the most elite native warriors in the Red Snow Army.
But for these captives, Char was not even interested in taking a second look.

"All their feet were cut off, stripped naked, and thrown into the snow outside the city gates" Char's voice was cold, and there was murder in his eyes: "Didn't these Odin people always think that they are not afraid of the cold and leave them outside the city to freeze overnight, and send someone to see them tomorrow, if there are still alive to be captured and interrogated." ” With this one order, he would have cut off the lives of those Odin captives Even though the Odin people were born in the north and could withstand the cold, in such a cold winter, they cut off their feet, stripped naked and threw them outside the city, were injured and lost blood, and spent a night naked in the snow, even the strongest Odin warriors froze to death As for the "if there is still alive" such thing, there is no possibility at all.
For Char's order, the cavalry under his command naturally did not hesitate to carry it out, and in a moment, those prisoners were stripped naked and thrown outside the city, and each of them cut off a pair of feet On the snow outside the city gate, more than 100 naked bodies were cut off with their feet cut off, and the ground was covered with blood.
More than 100 Odin people struggled in the snow, scolding the harder ones, and wailing and wailing the miserable ones.
For a while, the attached troops in the city above and below the city were all frightened, and everyone changed color Char even went up to the city wall in person, just stood there and watched coldly, looked at it for a while, and Nene who was standing next to him finally couldn't help but sigh and said in a low voice: "Char, in this way, will it be too much" Nenei's eyes were a little unbearable, and he frowned: "Fight on the battlefield, and if you die, you will die."
Even if you refuse to spare these captives and kill them with a knife, that is, why torture them so much. ” Char glanced at Nene for a long time before exhaling softly.
Gently, Char's solemn voice fell into None's ears.
"It's not that I'm cruel, it's not that I'm murderous.
It's just that we have few people after all, there are more than 2,000 attached troops and surrendered troops in the city, this is Manninger's lair, he has been running here for more than half a year, and the surrender army here is also the best he integrated, and also installed some henchmen who are really surrendering We are guest troops, occupying here, although this war has shocked them, but it is inevitable that some people still have ill intentions in their hearts I act like this, if nothing else, is to let these Odin elites who used to be high in the past, in the snow, Just when their eyelids were lowered, they struggled and cried, so that those soldiers in the city understood: If you dare to go against us, you will face such a cruel punishment Although it has been smooth since we went south, even at this moment, we are still walking on a tightrope If we are in peace, there are naturally many ways to subdue people's hearts, in addition to deterrence, there are also Huairou, but now, I don't have so much time to be patient Huairou, to subdue people's hearts in such a short time, I can only kill Liwei and deter with blood."
As he spoke, Char quietly pointed to some of the other officers on the city wall who had surrendered to the army: "Look at their faces. ” My heart moved, and when I looked back, sure enough, the officers who had surrendered to the army looked at the wails in the snow under the city, each of them had no face, and their eyes were full of fear.
Nene finally sighed, although he was still a little unbearable, after all, he had to admit that Char's method did have an effect.
Char took a slow breath and looked at Nene again: "When we entered the city, more than 100 Odin riders fled out of the city through the side gate, I didn't let you chase and kill, and I deliberately left those live mouths here, those live mouths must have run to the front non-stop to tell Manninger hum" He sneered and said in a low voice: "Once Manninger hears that the lair has been copied by me, and his son has also been killed by me, with his surname, the whole army will definitely return to the division when the time comes, and the siege of Green's department in front will naturally be solved, but we are here, but we will face Manninger's monstrous anger."
His subordinates are all the elite of the Red Snow Army, and he has the pain of losing a child, I am afraid that he will be desperate to kill us.
Although our hundreds of cavalry are good at fighting, if they encounter a large army of tens of thousands of people, it is still insufficient.
Look at it, the battle of the previous days was just an appetizer, and then, under this new city, there was a big battle."
Char said, his eyes became more and more fierce, raised his head, raised his right hand high to the sky, and then clenched it fiercely "I want to settle the situation in the north under this new city, I want the Chixue Army, the piece of armor must not return to the north, the Chixue Army is the army of the Bashak tribe, one of the five major tribes of Odin, since they dare to come to the south this time, I want him to add tens of thousands of orphans and widows to the Bashak tribe, I want him to have a few generations from now on, I don't dare to have the slightest idea of looking south" Nene looked at Char, listening to Char's cold voice, and couldn't help but sink in his heart, only to feel that the Char in front of him seemed to be a little different from before.
I couldn't help it, and I recalled the scene at the end of the previous battle, when Char suddenly burst out with divine might, killed Morka with his own hands, and broke into the city alone, smashing the city gate in one fell swoop At that time, it was as powerful as Si Shen, and it is still vivid in my mind at this moment He was still so weak, but why did he suddenly seem to burst out with such a strong majesty in the past few days As if sensing Nene's strange eyes, Char lowered his head, exhaled, and raised his eyes to look at the miserable shouts under the city, "Now that it has been broken, there will be no more restraints to kill, whether it is cruel or cruel, this fight can't leave half a point of human affection, either I die, or people die, and there is no room for anything, you may say that I am cruel, but if I fail, the one who is lying in the snow under the city at this moment and screaming miserably is I, Char, and the soldiers and civilians under my command" To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
