My name is Ren

Chapter 231 Cultured people are not scary, even if they have learned to play hooligans, let the truth come together!

In the end, war should be dominated by the official army.

The army that gathered from all over Bell Province and other provinces to participate in the war finally stopped at the astonishing number of 6. If it weren't for the nobles who still needed to maintain their own rule and security, and too far away to arrive in time, This number is likely to more than double.

It is not money that tempts them to come.

The nobles are very rich, whether they are the lords of a city or the lords of a place, all of them are very rich.The price offered by Rennes may be an astronomical figure for commoners, but for these nobles, it is nothing more than a year's normal expenses, not even enough.What they really value is military exploits, which can lead to careers and titles.None of the nobles felt that their titles were high enough, and the reduced inheritance system was like a noose tied around their necks, slowly tightening.

The system established by the Orlando family cannot be changed, and these nobles are full of resentment.The nobles who died in the second generation were not one or two, even if it was three generations, so what?In the end, they still couldn't get rid of the fate of being reduced to civilians, so military exploits are extremely precious in peacetime.Unless one day, they can make inexorable feats like Grand Duke Joan, can they ignore the sense of oppression brought to them by reduced inheritance.

The densely packed army surrounded Ortrenburg into an isolated island, and these troops began to move slowly with the appearance of the black man.Rennes also wants these teams to obey one order, a unified command, but obviously he is still too optimistic.The ultimate goal of every team from other provinces is to gain more military exploits, not to preserve the strength of Ortrenburg.Therefore, for them, more intense local battles are far more important than the overall strategy of the war.

These disobedient troops Rennes finally gave up the idea of ​​controlling them. Not everyone wants to give Rennes face, especially when Rennes has not beaten them.

The first team from other provinces launched an attack on the densely packed black barbarians at a time that Rennes did not expect.Perhaps in the eyes of these people, the Heiman here is no different from the Heiman in the slave market. At most, the Heiman here are all wearing armor and holding weapons in their hands, that's all.This team slammed into Heiman's flank without the slightest timidity. Their only [-] cavalry also arranged a piercing formation. The commander may want to divide Heiman's main force into several pieces and choose one of them gnaw off.

But like these black barbarians, he ignored one thing, and that was the unfamiliar fighting methods between each other.

Melee combat is never the most commendable act in the jungle.Because the strength of some wild beasts is far beyond what humans can contend with, the black barbarians prefer to keep a certain distance and shoot their prey from a distance.Hand-to-hand combat is just the way they have to choose when they have to, not the only way.

At the moment when the seven hundred cavalry rushed to the main force of the black barbarians, a rain of arrows covering the sky instantly tore apart the sunlight, and the darkness was like a fast-moving cloud covering the cavalrymen's heads.

In less than 20 seconds, the 2000 cavalry were shot into hedgehogs by more than [-] square-edged arrows, and there was a dense layer of "arrow grass" on the ground.Some onlookers immediately paled and gasped, and the infantry of the brave team with less than [-] people also quickly fled in the direction of Ortrenburg.

It was a completely crushing battle, everyone brought themselves into that rain of arrows, except for those heavily armored warriors holding tower shields, no one dared to say that they would not die.Almost every inch of the ground is pierced with an arrow, the density is enough to make people defenseless.

The crushing hit the morale of the coalition forces, and it also boosted the morale of the black barbarians. They all began to think that the Desi people were nothing special. With so many tribesmen, they could swallow the entire Orlando Empire by themselves without Byron intervening.This kind of blind self-confidence directly detonated the inexplicable impulse of the black barbarians, and they began to participate in the war more actively.The expressions on the faces of those tribal chiefs who were a little bit timid also became unpredictable, and finally revealed a ferocious look.

The great chiefs headed by Tutu shouted in local dialect, and the densely packed black barbarians all took action.

Renn, who got the news, had no better way than scolding these people for not doing enough to succeed.

The only good thing is that Ortrenburg still has a big killer. Ren specially allocated two ballistas to Sol, hoping to make contributions in the battle.

On the second day of the first contact between the two sides, the Heiman had already appeared in the farthest and barely visible place outside Ortrenburg.Compared with the regular army of the empire, this group of black barbarians who are used to running beat the imperial army in terms of marching speed. It took one day to cover the distance that the imperial army took two days to complete.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Ren was discussing with Saul how to defeat those menacing black barbarians.

"It's not difficult to win." Saul set the tone for the outcome of the war as soon as he came up, "Eating, drinking, and messing with a population of more than a dozen or 20 people is a huge problem. Heiman is like a beast. The ethnic group is far from the mature and reliable war system of our civilized society. The most important thing is the issue of supplies. In the jungle, with their means, they can obtain abundant supplies. But after they left their familiar environment, the first The problem to be solved is to eat.”

"The plain is not a jungle, there are no large animals, and there are not so many fruit trees that can bear fruit, and the food they carry with them is only enough for a few days. This is the time of the year when the temperature is the highest, and those unprocessed foods It is also very easy to corrupt, so they must send a considerable part of their manpower as a logistics force to continuously obtain food from the mountains and forests. It may not be obvious now, but as time goes by and the battle line gets longer and longer, their supplies It will become more and more difficult.”

"We don't want to confront them head-on, as long as they drag on for a while, they will collapse on their own. At that time, take the opportunity to surround and kill them, and it will be easy to eliminate these black barbarians."

Ren nodded, what Saul said made a lot of sense.War is not only a competition for the combat effectiveness of soldiers, but also a competition for logistics support and transportation capabilities.Once they can't get food, these black barbarians will turn into soft-legged shrimps, and they will naturally lose without a fight.Heiman's biggest mistake was that they chose the wrong battlefield. If the battle took place in the jungle and the numbers and scale of the two sides were reversed, Rennes would not be sure of winning.

After all, that is the home field of the black barbarians, and they are born with the advantage of the right time and place.But they were too arrogant. They actually left the jungle they depended on for survival and chose to fight the imperial army on the plains. They even wanted to attack the city as a joke, and they were doomed to fail!

"I think I've figured it out. Leave the war stuff to you. I don't know much about these things. Please."

Sol bowed, "It's my honor, my lord!"

Ren quickly turned his attention away. He believed that Sol's command ability was enough to defeat this seemingly large group of black barbarians.It's not blind trust, but the things Saul said really make sense.To explain with a vivid example, Heiman are sharks in the sea. When they are in the sea, they are omnipotent, they are the most ferocious predators, and they stand on the top of the pyramid.But once they leave the sea water and have been exposed to the sun for a few days, they may only be exhaled but not inhaled.

What he is paying attention to now is still the matter of Vernier.

Tiberium spar is not only a high-priced economic ore, but also an important strategic material, which can bring not only money, but also a higher social status.This scarce resource itself represents an attitude, a kind of power, so Renn is determined to win more shares.

He also knew very well that Queen Pars made a simple matter so complicated because she just wanted to use her strength to make enemies for him.During his time in Bell Province, he really did a little bit too well, showing his sharpness, which probably made some people restless, right?When they kicked Rennes from the imperial capital to Ortrenburg last year, perhaps they never imagined that there would be a day like this. In one fell swoop, a little guy who was trapped internally and externally, who was lonely and underage, became Bell Xing The uncrowned king of the province.

These people will certainly not sit idly by, this is just a small routine of theirs, and there will definitely be more followers waiting for him in the future.

At the same time, he was still filling in the gaps. The only trouble in the whole thing was Bolson's identity.He is not an aristocrat, but Ren's staff, and he has nothing to do with the aristocrats.And most of the opponents he is about to face are nobles, and they are also the kind of nobles who have flourished in the imperial capital.These aristocrats know how to play with the law better than the local rural aristocrats, and Bolson's status as a non-noble will become the most fatal and troublesome point for him.

But Ren didn't know that Bolson already had his own ideas at this time.

Bolson, a man of culture, ideals, and aspirations, has also awakened to one of the prerequisites for becoming a politician—thick and black—after being moved by Ryan's shamelessness.

Just as Ryan worried, Bolson himself has also been shaken by his current identity.He knew very well that his identity would be the deadliest point of attack once he faced the nobles who came continuously from the imperial capital.As long as someone is determined to deal with him, he will never even have a chance to resist.After all, he is not a nobleman, and the city lord is not so justifiable, so he must quickly solve this terrible problem.

And the way he chose is also refreshing.
