Chapter 19 I Recommend Su Cheng
One and a half months later.
Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, inside the emperor's study.
At this time, in the emperor's study, Gozevin was sitting behind a large wooden table, while Jacob and Iser were standing in front of Gozevin with their heads lowered.
"No matter how you say it, it's too tragic..." Ge Zewen said with an unkind expression, "It's been a month and a half, a full month and a half, and the peasant rebellion that broke out in the Earl of York has not been quelled yet.
We invited several extermination troops to annihilate them, but not only did they achieve no results, but they also made the rebel army grow stronger! The rebel army has now expanded to a full 30,000 people! Even a peasant rebel army can't solve it! Can we?
Are all the empire’s knights already in such a bad state?”
Although Ge Zewen has a bad reputation among the people. As an emperor, he is a bit dull and incompetent. But after all, he has been an emperor for decades, and he already has a power that can only be found in those who have been in power for a long time.
Aura.
Therefore, Ge Zewen, who is usually always amiable, can be very scary and powerful when he gets angry.
After hearing Gozevin's harsh criticism, Iser couldn't help but lower his head to the ground with a look of shame.
"Your Majesty," Iser said, "It's not so much that our knights are incompetent, but rather that the leaders of this peasant rebel army are indeed quite powerful."
"What a powerful method, tell me."
After saying that, Ge Zewen put on a posture of listening attentively.
"This peasant rebel army has a total of three leaders." Isser said eloquently, "These three leaders are called Anton, Abel, and Abt. I have read the battle report, and it seems from the report
, these three people do have outstanding military command talents. It is hard to believe that these three people were just farmers, especially the man named Anton. From the report, he has the highest ability, so he
He is also the person with the highest status among the three leaders."
"Farmers?" Ge Zewen frowned, "It's these three people who were just farmers at first, who defeated the knights of our empire?"
When this peasant rebel army first started to rebel, there were only more than 400 people. In order to annihilate this peasant rebel army, Go Zewen sent three armies to annihilate it.
The first army consisted of 1,000 people, with no knights to command. 400 fought against 1,000. As a result, the 1,000-man army was completely annihilated by the rebel army. Then the rebel army expanded to 6,000 people.
Immediately afterwards, a second army of 8,000 troops was sent, commanded by a new knight, 6,000 defeated 8,000, and then was disabled by this rebel army. The new knight came back in despair with 3,000 remaining soldiers, and the rebellion began.
The army swelled to 13,000.
Unable to bear it, Gozevin sent a third army of 16,000 people, plus two new knights, 13,000 against 16,000. However, he was still defeated by this rebel army. In the end, the rebel army expanded to 30,000.
Three defeats in three battles were terrible.
It was really hard for Ge Zewen to believe that three people who were originally farmers could defeat the knights of their empire with their superb command skills.
"Your Majesty." Jacob, who had been silent at this time, suddenly said, "You have to believe that there are geniuses in this world. People are born different. Some people can even command 10 people without experience.
Without it, we can easily command an army of 100,000."
"Mr. Jacob is right." Iser nodded.
"According to what you say." Ge Zewen said solemnly, "Are the three leaders of the peasant rebel army three geniuses?"
Iser was silent for a while before nodding: "You can say that."
"No matter what happens!" Ge Zewen said impatiently, "Hurry up and wipe out this rebel army! If they are allowed to do whatever they want, our empire's losses will become greater and greater, and it will also be
It will greatly damage the prestige of our empire among countries around the world. All countries will look down upon our country and think that our Britannian Empire is a weak country that cannot quickly put down even peasant rebellions!"
"Your Majesty," Iser said, "according to my judgment, the Xingui Knights alone may not be able to deal with the three leaders of this rebel army. Therefore, I think the next wave of annihilation troops should send double oaks."
The knights are here. And now that the rebel army has swelled to 30,000, then for the next wave of extermination troops, I suggest sending more than 30,000 troops to fight with more and less. If the double oak knights are allowed to command a much larger army than the rebels
, we will definitely be able to successfully annihilate this rebel army."
"Send more than 30,000 extermination troops?! No! I will only send 5,000 people for the next wave of extermination troops!"
"His Majesty?!"
Iser suddenly raised his head and looked at Gozevin with a stunned expression.
"I can no longer stand this rebel army wreaking havoc on my land." Ge Zewen said with a grim expression, "The troops we can quickly mobilize now are only 5,000. If we want to assemble a force of more than 30,000 and
The supplies they use take a lot of time, and I don’t have that much time to spend on this! Just 5,000! I will only send 5,000 people for the next wave of extermination troops!"
"Your Majesty..." Iser looked at Gozevin with tears in his eyes.
Jacob on the side smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly. He was already used to this. It was not just a day or two that Gozevin made such random decisions.
"But, Your Majesty!" Iser gritted his teeth, "If we only send 5,000 people, and if we use 5,000 people to fight 30,000 people, I'm afraid we will need to send a powerful commander!"
"A powerful commander... Iser, do you have any good candidates?"
"...With such a disparity in military strength, we may have to send the Fanlan Knight or the Four Royal Knights to fight..."
"To deal with a group of peasant rebels, do you still need to send out the Orchid Knights and the Four Knights? No! You can only send out the Two Oak Knights at most! If other countries learn that our Britannia Empire is dealing with a group of peasant rebels, what will happen?
We need to send out the Orchid Knights and the Four Royal Knights. What will they think of us? They will think that our Britannia Empire is a weird country that uses crossbows to kill mosquitoes! So no! We can only send out the New Laurel Knights or the Double Oaks.
The knights go to war!"
"His Majesty......"
Iser once again looked like he was about to cry, and at the same time, he quickly went through the list of new laurel knights and double oak knights that the empire could send in his mind, and found that no one was qualified for such an arduous task.
.
The three enemy commanders all have the strength to defeat the Shingui Knight, and with the disparity of 1:6 in troops, I am afraid that even if his daughter Alyssa goes to battle, she may not be able to win.
At this moment, Jacob, who had been standing silently just now, suddenly said:
"Your Majesty, if possible, I have a good candidate here who I would like to recommend to you. If it is him, he will definitely be able to complete this arduous task."
"Oh?" Ge Zewen raised his eyebrows, "Who is it? Who will listen."
And Iser turned his head in surprise at this time, wanting to hear who Jacob said was the suitable candidate.
