During this period of time, Wang Zuoguan spent a lot of time studying Saxon customs. With Saxony's tradition of advocating duels, and Lothair's son being young and energetic, as long as the operation is done properly, it may not be impossible to succeed. "A certain family doesn't know whether they are stupid or not."
, but if you don’t dare to respond to a woman’s challenge, then you are not a man.”
Wang Zuogao touched his animal skin hat, twisted his body like a bear, and looked at Elizabeth next to him with a smile. Elizabeth frowned slightly, but didn't say much.
Wang Zuoguan's damaging moves obviously didn't stop there. In the evening, the Northern Shanxi Army set up trebuchets and began to bombard Suplin City wildly. Although the effect was minimal, they couldn't bear the heavy stones and the soldiers and civilians in the city were smashed.
He couldn't even lift his head. Gamasi climbed to the top of the city. Before he could take a look at the specific situation below the city, he was thrown to the ground. A stone whizzed past, and with a bang, a cloud of dust was thrown up. Gamasi fell to the ground.
He was gasping for breath and kept swinging his legs. Fortunately, he was knocked down, otherwise his head would have been smashed into a meat pie.
Where did the Orientals come from with so many trebuchets, and they still allowed no one to survive. Half an hour later, the trebuchets finally stopped, and the battered soldiers and civilians of Su Plin finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Northern Shanxi Army did not attack the city.
The people of Suplin also took advantage of the rare respite to make rice in pots. Around the end of Youshi, before they finished eating, the city of Suplin began to fall into madness again.
Boas is an ordinary centurion. He is almost fifty years old this year. He was already raising his grandson at home, but he was temporarily detained in the city. Boas did not want to guard Suplin City, and all four sons were arrested.
He was recruited to the highlands of Istria, and now two of them have been killed in battle, and the lives of the other two are unknown. If this old man like him dies in the battle of Suplin City again, then there will be no men in the family. Without men, a family
How to live?
Families without men will be bullied, and women will suffer a tragic fate. Boas has experienced several battles on the Elbe River, and he has seen with his own eyes what life is like for families who have lost men. Without his own protection,
The only grandson will become a lowly serf, and the family castle will be taken away.
Although he was sitting in Suplin City, Boas had a thousand and ten thousand reasons to leave. There were many people like Boas. Most of them were forced to walk to the top of the city. The power of the Easterners was already
It is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Today, we have seen the power of the trebuchet. Many people have been scared out of their courage. They feel that if they continue to guard Suplin Castle, they will definitely die. They have already sacrificed a lot for the Kingdom of Saxony. How can they do it?
Will everyone accompany the kingdom to collapse? Ordinary Saxons don't think too much. They don't have that big ambition. They just want to live a stable life. If the Orientals are not here to kill Saxony, why do they still fight to the death?
What about Suplin Castle?
This is the homeland of every Saxon. It is also because of the Saxons that this place can be called our homeland. Without people, what is the meaning of the blood-stained land? Phew, suddenly someone shouted loudly, followed by a makeshift
The wooden house burned, and the surrounding area was reflected in red.
"The trebuchets and artillery from the Orientals are coming again, everyone, hide quickly." Boas was an experienced man. He quickly called on the soldiers who were still holding their jobs to hide. The Orientals are really cunning, deliberately letting everyone
After eating, they started smashing again when they were halfway through the meal. As Boas worried, this round of attacks included not only stones but also kerosene. Many young Saxons were inexperienced and suffered heavy casualties.
From this moment on, the trebuchets continued to attack intermittently. Fires broke out everywhere outside Su Pulin. The soldiers and civilians in the city not only had to prevent being hit, but also were busy putting out the fire. Morale also plummeted. They continued to work until dawn the next day, and many Su Pulin
No one in Pulin could sleep a wink.
The sun broke through the clouds and finally brought a little warmth. The Eastern army also pressed forward again. To everyone's surprise, the first one turned out to be a woman. The translator next to him looked arrogantly towards the top of Suplin City.
He shouted, "This is the great Princess Elizabeth. The governor is considerate of the people and does not want too many casualties, so he sent the princess here. I wonder if Lothair's sons in the city have the courage to duel? The governor personally promised that he would
It's a fair duel. If we win, please open the city gate and give way to Suplin Castle. If we lose, we should withdraw from Saxony and never commit any crime from now on. The governor has made a promise, so you don't have to doubt it."
Hiss, a group of Saxons at the top of the city are all taking air-conditioning. They think the Orientals are crazy. They obviously have a huge advantage. Why do they want to play a duel? Isn't this asking for trouble? If you want a duel, send someone powerful. Why?
A woman was sent out? Boas and others all looked at Lothair's sons. The men led by Gamassi were all blushing. It was obvious that they felt humiliated and sent a woman to come forward.
It's obvious that you look down on people.
Shouldn’t you fight? Are you kidding me? The old, weak, sick and disabled in the city have already been demoralized. If you still don’t fight now, wouldn’t you just tell everyone that there are no men in Suplin City? By then, I’m afraid this old man will not fight.
The weak, sick and disabled can no longer command.
As the eldest son, Gamasi had no shirk in his duties. He gave a few instructions, took the war horses and led a few brothers to open the city gate. The Northern Shanxi Army abided by the agreement and did not take the opportunity to attack Suplin City. Gamasi looked at the city not far away.
The woman in military uniform has an unreal feeling. Oriental people are so smart, giving such a big gift to Suplin City?
There are no rules in a duel. Life and death are determined by destiny. Although the opponent is a woman, Gamasi did not intend to be polite. He roared and rushed over with a spear. The horse galloped and the spear was like a dragon. Elizabeth was not that kind of person.
Vase, her sword skills were also taught by famous masters. She just frowned slightly, and without any slowness, she drew out her sword. When the war horse passed by, she knocked with her right hand, and the long sword was quickly placed on Gamasi's neck.
Wipe it on.
Blood spurted out immediately, and Gamasi's horse ran far away before he saw Gamasi's body rolling to the ground. Although Gamasi was not a brave warrior, as the eldest son of Lothair,
Having been practicing martial arts for many years, his skills are naturally not weak, but for such a sturdy man, he was killed with just one move.
The remaining sons of the Lothair family all stared in disbelief, and the fifth among them, Quagille, almost had his eyes popped out, "You...what kind of magic did you, this woman...
Ga...."
Gu Yong
In the middle of his words, Guojilie stopped talking, because he had already felt the mocking eyes around him, especially the contemptuous eyes of the Saxon soldiers and civilians on the city wall. If you can't beat him, you can't beat him. He has to say that he has cast a magic spell.
, everyone saw it really, how could it be a magic spell? Guajilie and others are also riding a tiger, and if they go back in despair, wouldn't it mean that the duel has failed and they have to leave Suplin City?
Angry in her heart, Kua Gillette no longer cared about her face, so she hit the horse and ran towards Sanniang. Although it was a bit shameless, she had to kill this oriental princess. Elizabeth had already responded, and immediately turned the horse's head and ran away, watching Kua Gillette
Getting closer and closer, he suddenly stopped his horse and cut with his sword. Quagille was chasing after him in a hurry when the man in front suddenly stopped his horse. He was not mentally prepared at all, and he just stupidly bumped into the sword blade. From then on
A desperate death.
Phew, now everyone is not surprised, but scared. The two heroes go out to fight, and they all use one move at a time. What should we do? Just when Lothair's sons can't think of a way, suddenly someone is holding an iron plate.
Tong roared, "Lotel's sons are vulnerable and failed in the duel. According to the agreement, they must sacrifice the city of Suplin. Soldiers and civilians in the city, please put down your weapons. We will not commit any crimes in the autumn, otherwise, we will be regarded as
For breaking a promise."
The one who shouted was none other than Orge, who was famous for his loud voice. His Germanic language was half-baked, but it was enough for the people of Suplin City to understand. Boas and others looked at each other, yes, it’s a damn duel.
After failing, it’s time to open the city gate. Lothair’s sons who stayed in the city immediately became a little anxious. The Orientals were not playing by the rules. “Hey, what are you doing? Get back to the defensive position.
The duel isn't over yet, so don't leave!"
"Nonsense. The Orientals have already won. Don't you think it's shameless to engage in wheel warfare?" A group of old soldiers said high-sounding words. They didn't want to be buried with Lothair's sons in the first place. Now that they have a reason, why not?
They will stay here stupidly. Boas is the fastest. What are the people of the Lothair family thinking? They really treat others as fools. The Orientals have given them a chance. If they don't seize the time to survive, it won't be a big deal.
Stupid pig.
The battered soldiers and civilians of Suplin City ignored the clamor of Lothair's relatives and went to open the city gate one after another, and even started fighting with Lothair's relatives. After nearly half an hour, the city gate finally opened slowly.
Orger's army was like a tiger, roaring in. The city of Suplin suddenly fell into chaos. Boas and others were smart, and simply threw away their weapons and squatted nearby. This was a hard time for Lothair.
relatives. Without the protection of the city wall, Lothair's sons had no power to resist. A total of fourteen sons were all buried in Suplin City.
This is also because Lothair was too confident. If he had known the risks and sent his sons to Hohenzollern, he would not have been blamed. Of course, Lothair's sons were also rigid enough.
Even until death, he still thought about coexisting with Suplin City. The destruction of the Lothair family was simply shocking. Even Tie Mo himself did not expect to be able to end it all at once. The Lothair royal family seemed to be waiting to be killed.
After the fall of Suplin Castle, Tie Mo also fulfilled his promise and was very tolerant to the people who surrendered. The Northern Shanxi Army only patrolled the city and garrisoned it and did not plunder. This made the soldiers and civilians of Suplin greatly relieved and recognized the surrender.
The accuracy of it. Of course, the outcome of Suplin Castle has already been determined, but it is still unbelievable that the Lothair family was completely wiped out.
When Dorle heard about the situation at Suplin Castle, he fell into a daze. With his wisdom, he couldn't figure out why he was blamed. Lothair had so many sons.
Do you know how to escape? As long as they escape to the Frankish Kingdom, the Orientals can't do anything to them. After thinking about it, Doerle can only admit that the Orientals are just unlucky to encounter such stubborn people as Gamasi.
Of the dozen or so brothers, none of them managed to escape. Lothair's daughters were also doomed to tragedy. I really didn't know what the Orientals would do next. The opponents were too weak, and it was also demoralizing.
After taking Suplin Castle, the time also entered the end of the twelfth lunar month, and a winter snow fell again in the north. Tie Mo felt the cold snowflakes and realized that he had forgotten time.
The eighth year of Chongzhen is coming soon, and I have been away from the Ming Dynasty for more than a year. Missing is a lonely sadness. Watching the snowflakes flying, walking in the mortal world, reaching out your hand, where is my hometown. The war has taken away too many lives.
It has also brought too many benefits. Looking at the ice and snow in the North, another year is about to pass. In this ice and snow, I can’t feel the strong flavor of the year. Also because of the war, Westerners can’t feel the Epiphany.
The taste of the festival. As the predecessor of Christmas, Epiphany is a very important festival for every Westerner. Unfortunately, this year's Epiphany is destined to be lost in the flames of war.
During Epiphany, the highlands of Istria were still in the midst of a fierce battle. The Germans were so worried about the war in Istria that they had no intention of celebrating Epiphany.
Sanniang was busy preparing some things. Although she was far away in the Kingdom of Saxony, Sanniang still wanted to give Tie Mo a little experience of the New Year, flour, meat stuffing, and then dumplings. Hailanzhu was born in a wealthy Mongolian family and didn’t have much idea about the New Year.
It was Claire who made the request. After arriving at Suplin Castle from Yumsburg, he followed him and learned how to make dumplings.
In the bedroom, two women were making dumplings. Hai Lanzhu was not interested in this and stood with Tie Mo at the window admiring the wind and snow. Pictured is a dream, the wind and flowers are drunk, the snowy night is like a mountain, where is the sky? The snow is falling in the north.
, it was a blur, as if the world had become wider, "You are homesick again, bear with it, and deal with the Danes as soon as possible, and we can go home."
For anyone, it is always uncomfortable to be away from home for a long time. Transportation is inconvenient, and conveying news has become the biggest problem. This era is no different than later generations. If we are thousands of miles apart, we will really lose contact.
Tie Mo was a little worried about the situation of the imperial court. After all, Li Zicheng still had a breath of life, and he had to plan the Imperial Avenue. The court was also facing great pressure. In the Ming Dynasty, people generally lacked sufficient understanding of the Imperial Avenue, and they did not know the final outcome.
What will be the result?
He hugged Hai Lanzhu's enchanting body and said with a faint smile, "Can you miss home? Don't you? I hope the troubles here can be solved quickly. The Danes are a big trouble. Hey, I don't know where Wolkan is.
How is it going? The Kingdom of Lorraine must be captured, otherwise it will not be able to suppress the German nobles and it will have a great impact on our next plan."
