Time travel rebellion, I'm serious

Chapter 580 The Earl’s Wisdom

"Eric, what do you think?"

Eric is the adviser to the eldest princess of the empire, and the eldest princess wants her father to crown her younger brother a hundred years from now.

Therefore, before the prince could take specific control of the military power, the eldest princess had already begun to win over the army on behalf of her younger brother.

And the Tatar Count in the East is the target he is preparing to win over.

Eric himself was the second son of an earl family, so without the right to inherit, he took the initiative to seek refuge with the eldest princess and came to Eastern Tatar in order to gain promotion.

Moreover, his goals are very high and he does not limit his sights to the viscount, so he has always been with the count.

Faced with the count's inquiry, Eric directly suggested:

"These Dagan people are really powerful when they are strong, but they are so weak when they are weak, so I can't judge their strength at all, but I think we should pay attention to them."

"And according to Viscount Henrietta's analysis and the attacks collected during this period, it is basically certain that the enemy came from the sea, so this also means that they have extremely huge ships that can survive strong winds and waves."

"How powerful such an army is, we haven't fought with it, so we don't know very well."

"However, the many knights it attacked along the way each had one or two knights, several knights' attendants, hundreds of family private soldiers, and thousands of serfs."

"But such a large number of people and such a large number of troops could not stop this large army. They were all killed and the manor was burned down."

"I think you should pay more attention!"

Obviously, Eric was afraid that the Tatar Count would underestimate his enemy, so he kept repeating the words that made him pay attention.

The Tatar Earl naturally understood this.

"Don't worry. I have fought for the empire for so many years. How can I be a careless person?"

"Not to mention that my castle is very close to the sea, only more than 100 miles away. If the enemy continues to move north, they may not reach me."

"Besides, it's not certain that this group of enemies are coming for me."

"According to what Viscount Henrietta said, he besieged tens of thousands of Dagan's elite troops. So it would be normal for Dagan's army to attack me if they want to relieve him."

"After all, according to the intelligence, the Dagan people's army only has a few thousand people. Naturally, such a small number of people can't do much on the frontal battlefield. But once they attack my castle and I am attacked or besieged due to carelessness, then There are bound to be huge holes on the front lines.”

"When the time comes, this big guy won't necessarily fight back!"

The earl's tone was one of amazement, and Eric frowned a little.

"My Lord Earl, although I think the enemy should be treated seriously, I don't think it is necessary to treat the country of Daqian seriously. After all, their officials are too cowardly and spineless."

"Not only that, their royal family has no aristocratic blood. I don't think their country has any capabilities!"

Hearing what Eric said, the earl couldn't help but smile: "Why do you value the people of Dagan, and then look down on the country of Dagan? Isn't this contradictory?"

Eric explained: "Because in my opinion, the army of the Dagan people is brave. Although we have fought many battles with them and won victory, this does not mean that their army is not elite, nor does it mean that their army is not elite. Their soldiers are not brave."

"In my opinion, their bureaucrats are incompetent and too cowardly, and their royal family is even more cowardly. The army with its hands and feet tied will naturally not be powerful."

"Otherwise, you would not have chosen to recruit the Dagan people's frontier troops and give many of them the status of free citizens."

Speaking of this, Eric also gave the count a very meaningful look and said meaningfully:

"After all, you were never like this in other countries!"

Hearing what Eric said, the earl laughed loudly: "It's natural for the officers and minor nobles below to look down on the Dagan people, because I need them to be proud so that they can be invincible."

"But the higher-level nobles must clearly understand what the enemy is like."

"Otherwise, if you think about it, Viscount Henrietta only suffered one defeat. After losing one or two thousand serfs, he immediately reacted and mobilized three legions of standing troops to encircle and suppress Daqian's army. Why?"

"We must have a clear understanding of Daqian!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. My guards are ready and my knights are ready. Now, I'm just waiting for the arrival of this army!!"

Having said this, the Count's face already showed a look of anticipation.

After all, in the division of the empire, the so-called knights and barons are small nobles, and viscounts can be regarded as medium-sized nobles if they have accumulated more than a hundred years.

As for the count, generally speaking, he came through step by step and was a serious and medium-sized noble in the empire.

As for the great nobles, they are all dukes.

A medium-sized noble, or an earl, must be an old family. The private guard in his hand is about 5000 people under normal circumstances. There is a knight group formed by all practicing fighting spirit and a cavalry group formed by knight attendants.

The total strength of these armies, and just the private soldiers held by the earl, is theoretically higher than the combined strength of the Marine Corps Battalion and Militia Battalion.

What's more, what the earl is looking forward to is to see how powerful this army of Dagan people is, and also wants to destroy it.

As for the knights who had suffered losses along the way, although they were nobles, they were emerging small nobles with little background, so he didn't care.

Just as he expected, the navy reduced operations along the way and instead captured more prisoners, roughly determining the location of the Tartar Count.

At this time, a marine battalion of scouts was conducting reconnaissance in the direction of the count's castle.

Things seem to be more interesting.
