Days Of Getting Rich In Another World Chapter 119

The battle strength of a female mercenary alone is better than that of four or five militiamen. As for the understanding of strategy and tactics, the two sides are not at the same level. He is also a layman. After thinking about it, this is also a good opportunity to learn. After all, in such an era of constant war and chaos, it is quite necessary to learn some military knowledge, so Zhao Xu often finds Liang and them to ask related questions.

The biggest disadvantage of mercenaries is that everything looks at money, but this is sometimes their advantage, because Zhao Xu paid the money, so these people don't hide their secrets. Zhao Xu asks what they teach, which also makes them Zhao Xu has the most basic concept of military command in this world.

In the early winter, the Imperial Court finally issued a formal order to the northern princes to encircle and suppress the insurgent army. Zhao Xu even made some arrangements for the affairs in the territory and was ready to raise troops.

Many people, including Alfred, actually don't support Zhao Xu's expedition in person. They think it's too risky. It's enough to pay people. Of course, Zhao Xu can't tell them. His true thoughts had to pretend to be loyal to the empire, and it was inconvenient for everyone to say anything about it.

The trio of Medea discussed it, Jane is a killer who can protect Zhao Xu's safety, and Yakumo and Jane have always been inseparable, so they went out with Zhao Xu, and Medea Ya continued to stay as his "acting lord's wife".

Although Zhao Xu has some headaches about Medea's style of "driving" at every turn, but so far she has never fallen off the chain on major issues, so she is more relieved to stay in Zhao Xu.

And what Zhao Xu cares about the most is Audrey. Little Demoness is strongly requesting to go out together. It is not difficult to understand. How many girls would be willing to let their sweetheart go to the battlefield easily? But Zhao Xu was a little hesitant. People like him have various reasons. Even if they die on the battlefield, they are not wronged. But Audrey is different. She is still a child, and this war has nothing to do with her. Therefore, Zhao Xu is a Playing both hard and soft, at one point he even planned to set off without Audrey, but Little Demoness was very determined, and even said that unless Zhao Xu killed her, she would have to find a way to keep up with the large army even if she was alone.

Medea played a decisive role at a critical moment, she persuaded Zhao Xu: "Although Audrey is a young child, she has a very stubborn temper and can do anything in a hurry. She can still take care of her nearby, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous, and besides, this child is erudite and knowledgeable, and has a first-class cultivation base in magic, so following you may really help.”

Zhao Xuyi It was not unreasonable to hear what Medea said, so I finally had to agree. Audrey was naturally very happy about this. Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling that Audrey might not understand what he was about to face when he looked at the other party's joyful expression.

Finally in the early winter of this year, Zhao Xu embarked on the journey of "encircling and suppressing" the rebel army with a total of 500 troops and a large number of supplies. According to the prior arrangement, the first step of the northern princes was to Chinbuck. After gathering in the forest area, and then heading westward, most of the princes had already arrived when Zhao Xu's group arrived. Later, he learned that the northern princes had assembled a total of 18,000 people to participate in the encirclement and suppression. Among them, Qiao was the one who contributed the most. Duke Nia, he is not only the commander-in-chief of the alliance of northern princes this time, but also the 3,000 troops under his command are the absolute main force of the alliance. The princes who attended the last harvest banquet sent troops to participate, and even the only one who expressed dissent. The Del family is no exception, but this time Yodell himself did not come. According to the gossip among the nobles, Viscount Merlin was quite dissatisfied with Yodell's performance at the last dinner party, and is now shutting it down, so this time The one who led the troops was Kenan, the second son of Viscount Merlin, and there were even rumors that Viscount Merlin intended to make Kennan the heir of the family in the future.

Personally, Zhao Xu still has a good impression of Yodel, because he is one of the very few people who realizes the serious problems of the empire and the existence of the entire aristocracy, but the trouble is that he thinks too far ahead. People are often not understood by the times they live in, and this cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness.

After the troops were assembled, Jonia assigned the duties of each lord. Originally, Jonia took care of Zhao Xu. Considering that he was participating in the war for the first time, and the strength of his troops was not strong, so Arranging them in the rear army is responsible for managing and transporting the baggage. There is no risk in this job, and there is still a chance to make a fortune. It was originally a fat shortage that many people envied. Many lords are not satisfied with this arrangement. It was deliberately partial to Zhao Xu, but to everyone's surprise, Zhao Xu actually refused this arrangement and took the initiative to ask to be on the front line.

Even Jonia doesn't quite understand this: "Virtuous nephew, this is war, no joke, although those rebels are different now, but if they are on the front line, there will still be mortal danger, you He is still young and has no actual combat experience, so why should he act like this?"

Of course Zhao Xu couldn't say that he wanted to help the rebels, so he had to lie: "Our Holmes family is favored by the empire and the queen. Well, it's a matter of time to repay, and uncle, as you know, recently everyone thinks that I only get the Queen's respect by firing porcelain, and some people even call me "Master Craftsman" behind my back. I want to rectify my name, and I hope your uncle will be successful."

Jonia was quite emotional when he heard it, and patted Zhao Xu's shoulder at that time: "Child, you are so similar to your father. , he also fought so hard back then. If the empire had more people like you, why would you not be prosperous? But the front line is still too dangerous. Well, you will be wronged and wronged, stay in the central army and give me a shot, so that you can Learn how to command a large army to fight, and a self-motivated person like you will use it sooner or later."

If Zhao Xu thought about it this way, he could come into contact with many important military secrets, so he He immediately said: "many thanks to my uncle's cultivation, I will do my best and live up to my expectations."

In this way, Zhao Xu and his troops finally stayed in the Central Army and followed Jonia's troops. In action, Zhao Xu was very active, and he rushes to accept any task, even if it is hard work, he will not refuse. After a long time, many lords, including Jonia, are impressed by him, and feel that Zhao Xu is this person. Self-motivated, hard-working and hard-working, it is inevitable that some people will be jealous, but neither group of people is aware that Zhao Xu is actually doing this to secretly help the rebels as much as possible.

And it was this march that allowed Zhao Xu to see the rigidity and decay of the lord's army. Except for a few people who wanted to make achievements and those mercenaries who took money to do things, most of the soldiers were actually not very active in this encirclement and suppression. , In their opinion, their lives are their own, and there is no need to work hard for the interests of the empire and the lord, which leads to a very low efficiency of the troops' marching.
