Chapter 187 State of the Allied Forces

After this brief conversation, the teams of the two merged logically and went to the camp of the Magyar Empire coalition forces together.

The rest of the journey was obviously much more stable, the malicious cavalry disappeared, and the prying eyes that Edward felt had also disappeared.

There were also some places that Edward thought were empty, but many soldiers came out to greet them. Only then did Edward realize that they were discovered and monitored by scouts long before the appearance of the heavy cavalry. under surveillance.

The captain of the cavalry was a big man with a typical Magyar beard. He told Edward that they would have been attacked if they hadn’t seen their white cross flag on red background. All Arpad nobles.

The captain's name was David, who was born in the seventh tribe of the ancient Magyar. He was already the third generation of Christians in his family, so he had this name.

His devotion is visible to the naked eye, with a cross hanging on his chest, and a parchment full of scriptures written on his armor. Those scriptures are prayers for the battle.

When mentioning the battle cause, the excitement on David's face is very obvious. He is a typical horseback nobleman, and his enthusiasm for equipment and glory is no less than his piety.

David admired the Ross infantry under Edward's command, knowing that the first time the cavalry appeared, they put down their shields and huddled together instead of looking around or even running away at a loss, which surpassed most of the soldiers he had seen.

Edward naturally didn't dare to take the credit. He told the Magyar nobles that this was Rostislav's subordinate, and David seemed even more enthusiastic. Over the years, the reputation of the Prince of Moscow has spread to the West.

The two sides talked very speculatively, and talked about many things along the way to pass the time, but when it came to the current king's submission to the empire, the Magyar nobleman's face became ugly.

"My father and brother have defeated the interference of that old bastard Henry three times, but now we have to succumb to that bastard's bastard. It's really... shameful!"

Seeing the Magyar's complexion, Edward didn't continue to talk about it. Some things would be sensitive if he continued to talk about it. It would be no good to let outsiders hear his thoughts rashly, so both sides fell silent, and the atmosphere became awkward for a while.

Fortunately, the silence didn't last long, because the camp of the coalition forces appeared in front of them, and with the appearance of the camp, the embarrassment was resolved.

It was a huge camp stretching across the plain, right next to a stream, soldiers fetching water could be seen beside the stream, smoke rose from countless bonfires, countless soldiers were moving between the tents, and the sound of armor resounded throughout the world.

The generals who arranged the camp were obviously very good, and the trenches and horses were all available, and the distribution was very reasonable.

Among the military flags, the white cross on a red background and the Archangel Michael stand proudly. These are the military flags of Hungary and the Empire respectively.

This is a picture of a powerful armor, but Edward saw the discord in it.

The camps of the Magyars and the Germans were clearly distinct, and there were even fortifications between the two sides, a scene of vigilance against each other as enemies.

The patrol teams on both sides were also distinct, and even hostile to each other. Only later did Edward know that these people had fought a lot.

Seeing this scene, Edward yelled in his heart, it is not a good thing to act like this in the face of a strong enemy.

--------

The cause of all these things is this. Three weeks ago, Uncle Turin led two thousand soldiers across the border, joined King Andrew's army, and then provided a large amount of materials and supplies, allowing the king to stabilize the situation.

In the next half month, the two sides got along fairly well, and there was no war. Duke Bella was busy gathering troops in various parts of Hungary to reorganize the army, and was temporarily unable to launch an attack on the king's army that had stabilized the situation with the help of the imperial army.

But in the following week, as the Bohemian (that is, the Czech) Duke Pittiglev arrived with part of the Bohemian advance army, King Andrew immediately had a quarrel with him.

Hungary and Bohemia had a grudge. In 1058, Hungary sent troops to Bohemia. At that time, the duke and the king did not deal with each other.

Now, the duke pretended to be the savior of Hungary, and even began to issue orders to the Magyar king, just like a monarch treats his vassals.

At that time, the Duke of Bella's army was busy reorganizing the troops, and hadn't gone to this battlefield to find the king's decisive battle.

As a result, the attitude of the Czechs became increasingly arrogant, which made the king more and more suspicious of the intentions of the Germanic Empire. As for the Magyars under the king, they were full of distrust of the empire.

After all, everyone knew about the empire's ambitions in the east. The king's surrender to the empire was just to ensure his son's inheritance rights. If they could expand the empire's eastern land, they would never miss this opportunity.

The Czechs felt that if it wasn't for themselves, King Andrew would have been finished long ago, so their arrogance continued unabated, and they faced the Magyars with the attitude of an envoy from a foreign country to a foreign country.

Duling Bianbo tried to make peace among them and bridge the relationship between the two parties, but his behavior was interpreted as hostility by both sides. After all, when two people fight, the neutral one among them will often get all the hostility.

Bianbo's mediation only added fuel to the fire, and the conflict between the two sides became more and more intense. What's more, the relationship between the Germans and the Magyars was not harmonious at all. King Andrew defeated the empire's intervention in Hungary three times in a row, giving the empire a taste of Failure and humiliation.

If it weren't for his physical problems and his ambitious brother, Andrew would never have bowed his head to the empire.

While the upper echelons were still talking and doubting each other, the soldiers below were more straightforward. These soldiers from the king's land had been fighting with the king for a long time, and they had never fought many battles with the Germanic Empire. They were extremely vigilant against the empire.

So they began to build fortifications in the direction of the imperial army, and the empire responded with fortifications without showing any weakness, making the relationship like an enemy for a while.

In the end, the commanders of both sides realized that something was wrong, and they both made concessions and compromises with each other, because they both knew that this situation could not go on, and this quasi-hostile state must be ended.

However, although a compromise was reached, those fortifications still exist and there are still people on duty. After all, they have been repaired, so they cannot be abandoned.

These fortifications are like gullies, stretching between the two armies, and everyone knows that this gully is very difficult to resolve, and there is a possibility of further deterioration at any time.

However, as long as the enemy of the Bella rebel army is still there, the two sides will not be able to fall out, and they dare not fall out. Bella has received the support of the Polish king. The Polish king is their common enemy. The king, they just stand together.

--------

As a relative of King Andrew, Edward entered the Magyar camp as a matter of course.

After Edward entered the camp, he noticed that many soldiers were depressed, with tired faces and a decadent look.

The Anglo-Saxon nobles also understand why these people reacted like this. Although Andrew is a veteran on the battlefield, his years of fighting are long gone, and he himself is still troubled by a stroke, and all soldiers have strong resistance to cooperating with the empire. will.

Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the morale of this part of the soldiers is so low.

But Edward didn't feel depressed because of this. Didn't he run so far back to Hungary to help his relatives?How could I quit because of such a small difficulty, how could I fall down here after I have come so long.

Edward met many acquaintances here, but also found that many familiar faces around the king were missing. Edward understood that most of those people fell to Bella's rebels, that is to say, he might meet with each other on the battlefield and fight each other .

This made him a little melancholy, but Edward had already realized this, and as a soldier in battle, he had long been prepared to face this day.

The melancholy was quickly covered up, Edward continued to warmly greet the acquaintances he saw, and everyone responded with relatives’ smiles and even hugs, because he is such a person who can make many friends no matter where he is.
