I have a lot of wives

The paladins appointed by Lu Cheng as grain collectors spoke kindly and traded fairly.And will leave enough rations for all villages and grain seeds for the second year.

They will incidentally publicize the policies of Bishop Lucheng and his intention to go to the east to fight the Avars.While speaking so kindly, the ferocious Albash hussars and guerrilla knights around also let the villagers understand what the result would be if they were not obedient.

In this case, on the marching road of the army of the Principality of Arbashi, a very rare scene in this world of this age appeared-

That was the village where the army passed by. There were no refugees and starvation due to being looted, so chaos and famine occurred.

The people of the principality were able to preserve more vitality.Make the post-war recovery and reconstruction work easier-

Of course, all this only appeared on the marching road on Lu Cheng's side.

In contrast, the Avars are naturally.

The marching path of the nomad army was in a mess.Villages and farmland were burned.The fortresses of the little nobles and squires were broken, and the Albashis, whether men, women, old or young, poor or rich, suffered.

The Avar cavalry armed with torches and scimitars spread death and fear everywhere.He also asked the villages and towns passing by to recognize the ruler of Avar, the greatest Bayan Khan as their supreme lord.

In the fear of death, these villages and many nobles chose to bow their heads.Forced to send an army, carry food, grass, and riches as gifts to join Awar's army.

This allowed Bayan Khan's army to continue to expand-his army has exceeded 20,000 troops.

When the people in Albaches are thinking sadly, the farmland is barren, and everyone is going to war, how the next year should pass, the nomadic invaders will not consider this problem.

The tribal cavalry of Awar just wanted to happily pounce on Szekeshi White Fort, announcing their power over the Arbas Valley.

Bayan Khan already knew that the opponent he was going to face next was not the old rival that panicked as he imagined, the old dog of Zoboyao Janos.It was a bishop sent by the Holy See.

"Haha, those magic sticks, the best end is to be chopped off their heads, skinned and fed to the dogs."

Upon hearing this news, the tribe khan of Avar laughed happily—once, the Holy See also tried to spread the gospel north and east.But they all failed shamefully.

The Varangians in the north happily turned the missionaries into "blood eagles" while the nomads in the east cut off their heads without hesitation.

Compared with the doctrine of relative stability and peace, they admire the gods of heaven and nature, and decided to continue to live a more primitive and barbaric life.

Of course even so, because of the nomadic cavalry attributes of the Avars, their movement speed is still a bit faster than Lu Cheng's army.

"Ah, ah, infrastructure construction."

Lu Cheng couldn't help but mumbled, "After things settle down, we must build the road well."

"Although it will cost a lot of money."

"But, building infrastructure is not a loss-making business."

...

With this thought, Lu Cheng closed his eyes.

With the peregrine falcon in the sky, his mind skipped the Avar army at the fastest speed.

At this moment, the Avars have advanced westward for more than three hundred kilometers, and soon the two armies will meet.

"Ten thousand and twenty thousand."

"It's not a big deal either."

After that, Lu Cheng really went to sleep...or a deep meditative state.

In this state, his whole body exudes a very comfortable light attribute energy, making Sayuri Sawamura, who is in his arms, make a happy voice.

Chapter 29—The Attack of the Nomadic Cavalry

The time is the 25th of April in the spring of 1212 in the imperial calendar.

When the army led by the bishop and the army led by Bayan Khan of Avar met in a meadow in the Arbash Valley, the atmosphere of killing intensified in the sky.

Before this battle, the light cavalry of both sides had fought dozens of times.

Avar's nomadic cavalry is not an opponent of guerrilla knights-although the latter "professional" itself is born out of the profession's research on the habits of steppe nomads and the way of fighting.

However, after systematically sorting out and training in a more civilized, scientific...or magical way, the "skills" and "attributes" of the guerrilla knights themselves have already surpassed the average "nomad cavalry".

In terms of combat occupation, the power of civilization far exceeds that of barbarism-this is also one of the reasons why the Albashis did not let the Avars get the least bit cheap in previous wars.

"But it's over now."

Bayan Khan fiddled with the brass telescope bought at a high price from the Slaver merchant, and looked at the densely arrayed Albashis on the opposite side with a triumphant smile——

To their left is a mudflat that is not suitable for soldiers.But their general deployed the black legion, the fearsome wing cavalry and the heavy knights there.It's ridiculous.

"Zoboyao Janos would lose to this kind of kid who doesn't know how to fight."

The ability of Avar Khan Bayan, who is similar to Zoboyao Janos, who is also a quasi-legendary commander, can't figure out why Zoboyao Yanos lost to this kind of guy.

He happily divided his cavalry into four parts.And left his left side to the two or three thousand new Arbashi soldiers who looked sad.

Although some people suggested that these new Arbashi armies should be used as cannon fodder, Bayan Khan had more ideas.

This group of guys, if they go directly to A, they will probably be destroyed in an instant, which will increase the enemy's morale.

And if they are given a relatively important position for them to defend, there is the possibility of dragging down the entire army.

In this case, it is better to put them on the unimportant flank.Then let them watch their army crush the opposing, poor Albashi, and let them understand their fate.So obedient.

"attack."

After confirming this, Khan gave the order without hesitation—several tribes, thousands of horses cheered, and rushed toward the bishop's army—

"impolite."

Seeing these soldiers with chaotic body armor and disorganized weaponry, Lu Cheng shook his head slightly.

"Not a professional force."

"The nomadic cavalry of the steppe...?"

"This kind of non-professional army is really, too much difference."

Seeing this scene, he was completely relieved.

Being integrated by his mind, the unified Arbashi army calmly looked at the nomadic cavalry on the opposite side, without any fluctuations in his heart——

With them as a whole, the courage of any Arbashi soldier is close to infinite.

They do not waver, they do not worry.

They are fearless--
