In the blink of an eye, this hunchbacked giant monster that once ran rampant in the army and wreaked havoc in no man's land had become mutilated everywhere, and blood flooded a large area of the ground like a fountain; the dying pain continued to wail. His body twitched, but he couldn't get up anymore.
When the Free Army soldiers saw this scene, they stopped rushing to catch up. Their morale was boosted and they cheered on the spot. On the contrary, the Burgundian Army was launching a massive counterattack. After all, it was a hunchbacked giant monster that was more than ten meters tall and looked like a small hill.
Just above the noise and bustle that crashed in the distance, it was not small at all. Therefore, the various armies with different affiliations and backgrounds also bear the brunt of various fluctuations and chaos. Among the troops on the left and right flanks that followed, some people turned around and fled in groups.
Among the attacking formations in the middle, although there were teams that continued to charge forward bravely, there were also a few teams that slowed down while running, and stopped after a while, and then they were overturned on the spot by the friendly troops catching up from behind. The people were pushing and jostling into a ball.
Therefore, among the Conté Army on the battlefield, the only ones who could directly engage with the Free Army in the end were the Jin Gentry (countryside) cavalry at the front, and the knights, retinues and armed forces of the Dijon Knights. Attendant. Approximately one-third of all legion members.
However, when they were fighting left and right in the array of spears/white soldiers, firecrackers/cannons of the Free Army, someone discovered that other troops who were supposed to follow up in the legion's attack sequence, All were gone; only the dust and smoke flags were retreating.
For a time, the anger and panic of being betrayed and betrayed quickly enveloped these warriors trapped in enemy lines. Subsequently, the armed attendants with limited equipment and relatively weak fighting will became the first to collapse on the battlefield; they turned and fled while shouting and roaring under the bombardment.
Then there were the retinues and cavalry who were skimming the outer formation. In the repeated attempts to contain the harassment, they were hanged with blood on the wire barriers, parapets, and sharp stakes. Finally, some people lost their courage unbearably and secretly secretly Turn your horse around and flee away from the enemy.
Therefore, with the massive defeat of the Burgundian army, they fled into the city of Dijon. Most people could only stand on the city wall, watching helplessly as hundreds of heavily armored knights from the Dijon Knights were constantly tripped, overturned, knocked off their horses, and disappeared into the enemy ranks while being surrounded by the enemy.
However, the Free Army, which had just experienced a series of fierce battles, had no energy left to continue the attack. Therefore, in the city of Dijon that night, the streets were full of soldiers patrolling with open fires and holding sticks; they were busy interrogating and arresting everyone who dared to violate the curfew order.
One of the royal palaces in Dijon, the Palais Phillipe, is also brightly lit. As the royal marshal/provincial governor, Prince Kongté also dressed in military uniforms and received many representatives from the aristocratic families in the city overnight, and redeployed the city's defenses at the meeting.
But unexpectedly, this "defender" and "Prince of Iron Hands" who had shown no mercy to political opponents and rebels did not pursue too much of the generals and officers who escaped from the city. It affirmed their decision to preserve their vitality for the sake of the dynasty.
And in front of many noble families, large and small, in the city, he was also full of confidence and unwavering; his sworn determination relied on the solid defense of this ancient city to completely crush the snooping and coveting plans of the southern rebels to go north here. Under a glorious city.
However, he followed suit and made more demands. For example, a large amount of food supplies and equipment were donated and solicited, and more family members, vassals, retinues, and guards were allowed to join the garrison on the city wall, acting as a supervisory team in a sense to prevent the rebellion of ordinary soldiers.
But then, when he faced the audience of the citizens and representatives of the chamber of commerce in the city, he was not so polite. Almost in a few words, he caught the opportunity to use the excuse, and furiously ordered his preventive arrest, search, and house raid on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, he ordered to send out enough soldiers and spies to secretly monitor the lower-class neighborhoods in the city where poor people, beggars, craftsmen, and apprentices gathered. Because according to the information he had secretly learned, the Southern Rebel Party likes to recruit insiders in mines, factories, and workshop areas.
Therefore, he has told the trusted officers who will lead the team to secretly prepare enough kerosene and firewood, and create corresponding isolation belts. In this way, once the untouchables in the lower-class neighborhoods dare to make any changes, they can set fire to the windward to completely destroy and destroy their plans.
After arranging all this, Prince Kongtai ordered all the attendants and cronies present to withdraw. He came alone to the inner room of the palace's audience hall, in front of a wall with exquisite reliefs, pressed the switch to open a hidden wine cabinet, and took out a bottle of wine with a special formula.
After giving myself a full cup and drinking it, my whole body slowly relaxed. Temporarily freed from his original role as a majestic and decisive general marshal; instead of suppressing his emotions, he grabbed the weapons hanging on the wall, roared and smashed them as a way to vent his anger.
After all, in this daytime battle, he not only lost his heir; he also lost three legions of Champagne, Ardennes and Conté; a total of nearly 30,000 soldiers. What's even worse is that even if he used a taboo secret card, he still failed in the end.
With the full cooperation of those aliens in the darkness, he had great difficulty in finding such a giant mountain monster that only existed in folklore. To wake it up and induce it, the price paid was astonishing; but in the end, it was defeated by the southern rebels.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, he also knew the corresponding stakes. Because this means that among the southern rebels, there is a powerful supernatural force that is enough to confront this giant monster and even capture it. This kind of power is more likely to shake the fighting spirit of the dynasty soldiers.
The even bigger bad news is that too many people have seen the raging monsters on the battlefield. Even though he banned the discussion of similar topics in the army and sent law enforcement teams to severely punish them, rumors about the Burgundian dynasty and the aliens still spread quickly in the city.
Even some officers and generals with noble backgrounds had doubts and worries. Prince Kongté could not even directly punish and hold them accountable. Because after losing the Knights as the core and foundation of the legion, Prince Conté will continue to rely on them to defend the city.
Otherwise, once they try to escape the city with soldiers from their family background or cause chaos in the city, the consequences will not be acceptable to the current Prince Kongtai. After venting his anger through wanton destruction, Prince Kongté also calmed down under the effects of the wine.
At least, he still has this fortified big city, as well as hundreds of thousands of city residents and tens of thousands of soldiers, as a basis for long-term persistence. In his early years, as a mercenary, his experience of leading his companions on the verge of life and death on the battlefield also made him weigh the pros and cons more rationally.
After dawn, he sent people out of the city to try to exchange for his heir at a certain price; and then used the influence of the church to carry out publicity in the city; he said that the mountain monster was betrayed by the south and used cruel and blasphemous methods. He was awakened, but suffered a backlash.
At the same time, there was a gentle knock on the door; a slim figure quietly walked into the lounge where the floor was messy and the walls collapsed. Then, a pair of snow-white arms hugged him from behind, like a rock, sitting on the sofa, shoulder to shoulder with Prince Kongté who was meditating.
"How dare you come here?" He suddenly woke up, and then he held the arms in his arms; the hard contours and straight folds on his face suddenly softened. "You should have heard about what happened during the day. At this time, it is even more important to avoid suspicion."
"It is precisely because I heard those rumors that I want to appear by your side!" The owner of the snow-white arms said in a lazy and magnetic voice: "Even if I don't become a person publicly, in Fran She may not be the mistress of the palace, but at least she is an important member of your court."
The speaker was a beautiful woman in her prime, dressed in a long skirt and high sideburns; Mrs. Charlotte, who was also a member of the inner court of Prince Conté, and who daily acted as an eyeliner and the leader of spies. But she is also a member of the Burgundy family, and can be regarded as the grand-niece of Prince Conté;
Therefore, even though she has a husband and a family on the surface, she still maintains an extraordinary taboo relationship with Prince Kongté through various means in private. Under normal circumstances, only after she came forward could she calm Prince Kongtai's anger and intense emotions.
However, Prince Conté knew another secret identity of Lady Charlotte, that she had lived for an unknown number of years under multiple names in the family; she was also the key figure who introduced him to the other side of the underground world. . He also particularly enjoyed this double taboo.
Therefore, with Mrs. Charlotte's gentle words of comfort and thoughtfulness, the messy inner lounge quietly closed the soundproof door; and it once again transformed into another form of battlefield of confrontation. ...until the heavy mahogany door was knocked hard again.
Prince Kongté, who was disturbed from his good business, opened the door with his shirt open and half-shirt on, and asked angrily: "Damn it, didn't I say, don't let anyone disturb you?" However, the words of the head guard with a worried face made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cellar on the spot.
"Your Majesty, I don't know why the gate to the west of the city suddenly disappeared completely in the middle of the night. Those southern rebels have rushed into the city..."
