A few months later, the seasons changed, and in a twinkling of an eye, it was autumn.
In this year, the situation in the northern region has changed again and again, which is dizzying.
First, the southern principality of yingdeli led the knights to launch an offensive against the surrounding areas. At the same time, it was hostile to the five principalities and won the war. It defeated the strong enemies in one fell swoop, completely defeated several strong enemies who had hindered their annexation, and besieged them under the national capital.
In the north, in the autumn, in this season of cultivation, many principalities have just breathed a sigh of relief in the environment of killing in the northern region, but they found that the war has started again.
In this harvest season, ADIS boldly set up troops, led 30000 troops, and recruited a total of 50000 reserve soldiers. Taking advantage of the situation that the South could not move at this time, he began to attack the surrounding city states.
Suddenly, there was a great surprise around, and a wave began to appear, which seemed a little unprepared under the sudden action of ADIS.
After all, autumn is the harvest season. In this season, no matter where it is, the Lords of each country will stop what they are doing, return to their own territory, organize their neighbors and start harvesting food, with few exceptions.
Even the Principality of England, which fought in the Southern War, had to temporarily stop its offensive during this season and organize people to harvest, otherwise even military food could not be supplied.
But Adams is an exception.
First of all, with the decades of accumulation of northern desert tribes and the full support of the natural church, these have been stored in the national treasury. Even after such a long consumption, they are enough to use.
The second reason is the system.
Under the original system of the world, there are lords under the king, and there are enfeoffed Knights under the Lords. Although it saves a lot of trouble at this level, it also brings a lot of trouble to the rule. Decrees cannot be run efficiently.
This is especially true in the season of cultivation and harvest. All lords and knights, large and small, need to return to their territories to lead their people to cultivate and harvest, and collect the tax burden of a year. At such a level, they do their own work, which not only makes the combat power extremely dispersed, but also causes great trouble and waste.
However, in Addis, the administrative efficiency will be greatly improved because the aristocratic lords are deprived of their original autonomy and the officials are apportioned by the state. Moreover, because the current Legion implements the off-duty recruitment system, and the soldiers are fully supported by the state, it eliminates the trouble of recruitment and can be dispatched quickly when needed, without the trouble of other city states.
In this case, although the surrounding city states still took some defensive measures, such as setting up sentry towers, they fell into a passive situation under the pressure of this powerful army.
The Lords are scattered, and the Knights are in twos and threes, which can not form a decent combat power. For the gathering of hundreds of troops, they have no advantage except individual combat power.
Moreover, even on the individual side, the ADIS side will not fall into the disadvantage at the moment.
After the northern tribes surrendered, a large number of sacrifices joined the ADIS side, which seriously enriched the strength of the army. In addition, with the gradual popularization of fighting spirit, in the army, all ten captains or above will get the opportunity to practice fighting spirit, which is basically to the extent that fighting spirit is about to give birth to.
With the accumulation of these advantages, ADIS attacked the surrounding with an extremely rapid speed.
Among them, Roya, located at the northern border, and Barlow, who had been wiped out by Yates before, were the first to bear the brunt.
At the border of the Principality of Barlow, in a large camp.
"Bill, what's going on around?" a voice gradually sounded in the dull and calm camp, breaking the peace around.
In front of Adams, Bill frowned and looked at the map. After hearing Adams's questions, he quickly got up and responded.
"Your Majesty, at present, the nadir side is progressing smoothly, because it is the earliest missionary area of the church. The territory of the Principality of ROA is almost infiltrated by our believers. Even many noble lords are already our people. In addition, the king of ROA is young and underage, and his decision-making is not slow. Therefore, under the leadership of believers, the progress there is very smooth and is about to be completed To the city of roa. "
ADIS nodded, "where are the protons we sent out to persuade them to surrender?"
"He has returned to his family as we ordered."
Bill responded.
"According to our requirements, these hostages are almost the eldest sons in those families. Although they will certainly be manipulated and changed after such a long time, they still have a certain impact and can affect their families."
"Plus the group of people we bought before, it's enough for us to open the situation."
He bowed slightly and then continued: "moreover, with your Majesty's call, in the north, several high priests who had originally defended the border demon tide are on the way. Please don't worry."
Hearing the news, ADIS finally nodded, turned and looked at the map in front of him. He didn't continue to ask questions.
The army continued to gather. After entering the territory of the Principality of Barlow, the other party finally reacted. A large number of returning lords gathered and began to try to counterattack and defend Yates.
However, these few people, not a majority of 100 at a time, barely assembled into a force of thousands of people, but they were defeated and completely dispersed under an attack by Yates.
Suddenly, the surrounding lords were afraid to continue to test this very strange team. At the call of the royal family, they gradually gathered in Barlow, as if they wanted to defend with the help of the city wall.
However, for this situation, Yates was not in a hurry. Instead, he calmly stationed around, slowly digested the new territory and assigned officials to manage it one by one. It seemed that he was not in a hurry to attack the city.
In the face of this situation, Barlow's royal family felt a great pressure while wondering.
Originally, if ADIS chose to go deep directly, the supply line would be very huge because of the long distance. If the siege took too long, it would easily lead to problems in the rear supply, and finally it might collapse directly.
However, the situation is different when Yates directly chooses to stay.
Let's say that the large and small lords who entered the city because they were driven by Adams. The entry of these people not only brought a certain number of troops to the city, but also brought great logistical pressure to the city. In addition, so many troops with different destinations are stationed in the same city, which makes the city very chaotic for a time.
In this case, ADIS sent troops to burn the wheat fields that had not been seized at that time. At the same time, under the guidance of believers, he slowly attacked various territories and encroached on the Principality of Barlow step by step.
However, if there is no accident, this situation cannot last long. After all, it is far from yadixu's own country. In addition, the enemy's strength is still there. Taking root here rashly can only drag down their own strength and be consumed a little.
So ADIS is still waiting, waiting for the end of the war on the other side.
