Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 136 My Canny
"We are victorious!" Stannis shouted, standing on the captured horse, sword raised.

"Long live!" shouted the people around them, swords raised, their faces filled with the glory of victory, and they now began to believe that under the leadership of this man, they would continue to win.

"He did it." Robert shook his head and said, he did not expect that this traverser could really win.

In the crowd, he also saw the figure of Crodolph. The knight commander completely abandoned his identity and cheered with the infantry he despised the most.

At this time, Bachelor Romon stepped forward, his expression also full of pride, holding a quill in one hand and a cowhide book in the other, and eagerly asked Stannis: "Your Excellency, congratulations on your victory in this battle." Victory, according to the usual practice, I want to record this battle for future generations to pass on. May I ask what name you want to give this battle? So that future generations will remember it."

name?Yeah, Stannis hasn't figured that out yet.He looked at the desolate battlefield around him and the cheering crowd. This was the brightest moment in his life, "Then, what do you think should be named? My Grand Scholar."

Bachelor Romon looked around, "Since this is the Sancha River Beach, let's record it as the Battle of the Sancha River."

It's too unimaginative!Stannis decided to open the eyes of the rednecks, "Well, I'd rather call it the Battle of Cannae."

"Canny?" Bachelor Romon looked puzzled. He obviously hadn't heard of the war with the highest death rate in a single day in the cold weapon era in this world.

"What does that mean?" he asked strangely.

Stannis shook his head with a smile, and patted the bachelor on the back, "This means victory! My college student, this is my Canny!"

The old man nodded half understanding, although he still didn't understand the meaning, but Stannis' passion let him know that there was nothing wrong with it.

So I left this line in the notebook of Bachelor Romon:

This unknown man from nowhere won the first battle, and for some reason he insisted on calling it the Battle of Cannae.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Stannis found that his results were so huge that he captured more than 100 prisoners alone, and the equipment was countless. The richest lord of the duchy.

"Boss, boss!" Robert ran over excitedly, jumping happily: "Look at the seizure of so many things, can you give me some... Hehe!" He laughed.

Stannis glanced at him, knowing what the kid was thinking.

"Ah, you think you want a reward, don't you? I'll give it to you, but now we have to clean up the battlefield first, and then we'll share the spoils."

"Then what should we do next?" Korodov came over and asked.

"Of course, continue to fight. Anyway, they started the war first. I wouldn't foolishly stop the war under such a good situation. Let's take advantage of the situation and attack their territory, how about it?"

After a big victory, Stannis' ambitions also began to expand, why not?His original goal was to annex the territories of these three little lords and turn them into his provinces. Now that these guys have suffered heavy losses, it is a good opportunity to take advantage of his illness to kill him.

His three subordinates looked at each other. They had never thought about such a thing. Annexing a lord in the Westland, no matter how small his title, would be a shocking event, because these lords had been intermarried for a long time. They were related to each other, moving one of them would really poke a hornet's nest, not to mention that he would annex three this time.

Stannis can't control so much, now his mind is full of the majestic appearance when he became a duke, everyone can only obey, "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield in the afternoon, everyone should rest and sleep well at night, and tomorrow morning will be like those three Let's go to the territory!" After speaking, he ignored the three subordinates and turned to leave.

In the early morning of the next day, Stannis led his army to march towards the Dill family. The reason why he chose this family first was because he saw that Dill was the leader and brain of the three groups. All of them were lagging behind, and the Dill family, which had already lost all their strength, had no chance to organize resistance. Stannis' army drove straight through the two villages, and arrived directly under the castle of the Dill family.

In less than half a day, they completely surrounded the castle.

Compared with the ugly stone monsters of the Justin family, the castle of the Dill family was built very well. A tall wall was built around the castle, and a solid wooden wall was built on it. The main tower stood in front of the castle. Forming a second line of defense, through the arrow holes on the second floor, Stannis could see people running around behind with bows and arrows.

"Haha!" Stannis laughed loudly with his arms crossed, and finally it was his turn to attack the city

However, after lunch, he discovered a big problem, that is how to capture the castle.

But fortunately, he took the engineer Speer over from the territory overnight last night. Now that he has the help of the engineer, he feels that it can be said that it will be overnight to capture this castle that is several times more handsome than his own.

"My chief engineer, how much do you think we need to spend to download a castle?"

When Speer took out his pen again, he began to count. Stannis hummed a song. Now he was in a very happy mood, thinking that capturing the castle would be a piece of cake, and then the territory of the Buck family could be incorporated into his own. , able to obtain large tracts of fertile land.

After precise calculations, Speer raised his head and said seriously, "About three months."

Stannis almost spat out a mouthful of blood, and then yelled, "What? Three months, I can chew this castle down with my teeth. Did you miscalculate?"

"Absolutely not." The engineer said seriously, "It will take two weeks to build the equipment that can effectively attack the castle, and it will also take two weeks to use the trebuchet to attack the outer stone walls regardless of day and night." It took a week to collapse, and this does not include the lack of labor caused by your constant loss of manpower during the siege."

Stannis, finally understands why these lords are trying so hard to build these stone fortresses, and they are really outstanding in defense.

He didn't have that long to procrastinate, so he had to find another strategy, "Then there is no need to besiege the city, and there are other ways to do it."

Bachelor Romon asked curiously: "Do you have any other strategies? Your Excellency!"

Stannis glanced at him with confidence, then rode to the main tower, stood far away from the range of the bow and arrow and shouted: "Tell your lord, I want to negotiate!"
