Chapter 452 The Magic of Gold Coins

Back in the study, Allen unfolded the map outside Sunset City. Here is a relatively flat landform, without forests or hills, just like what Tormen said, there is no danger. This kind of terrain battlefield is undoubtedly beneficial to the attacking side. Coupled with the low walls of Sunset City, there is no heavy firepower to provide defense. Without dispatching an elite army, even the coalition forces of the two lords of Oulu can forcefully break into the city.

If it weren't for Allen's constant weakening of their numbers and morale in the previous week, it would probably become a reality tomorrow.

Sir Tommen pushed the door open, glanced at everyone in the room, and said to Allen: "My lord, the number of our soldiers is calculated. The army of our city itself plus your soldiers, there are 487 people. If you count If you recruit recruits and coolie slaves, then you can barely gather an army of about a thousand people. It's just this kind of army..."

Allen smiled and continued for him: "This kind of army has no combat effectiveness-excellent-excellent-small-speak-new-new-fastest-fast-, I know this very well. But as I said before, slaves are just to make up for it. Make up."

"Make up the numbers." Tomen shook his head and said, "I really don't see any use for this."

"Of course not in normal times, but now, it's a little different." Allen kept a secret and didn't continue talking about this aspect. He swiped his finger on the map while saying: "It is true that the army of the two lords still has an overall numerical advantage. However, it is not invulnerable. The most obvious point is that they have two commanders. And the two lords were there together, with such an army, I can hardly imagine that the soldiers can hear the clear and unique order."

Tormen suddenly realized that the lack of a unified command was indeed a serious defect of the enemy coalition forces.

"Of course, if the battle situation is favorable to them, this defect is not so fatal. But if the battle situation is unfavorable, the situation is urgent, and the commander needs to respond quickly to make a decision, this defect will be infinitely magnified. At that time, Two commanders disagree on an order, or the knight must be notified to make a decision. In this way, for a battlefield where opportunities are fleeting, such a command system will undoubtedly speed up the defeat of the army."

Allen raised his head and said with a bright smile: "And we are going to create such a situation for them."

He said to Tomen again: "Go and gather all the soldiers. Before fighting, you need to boost their morale."

Mobilization before the war is a very common thing, and Tormen nodded to do it. When he walked to the door, Allen said suddenly: "Baron Tormen, if I lose this time, Sunset City can return to the ruling sequence of Viscount; if I win, I will leave in a short time. So you see, As long as you don't do anything, you will still be the lord of Sunset City in the future. I will not force you to completely betray Daniel, but don't hold me back."

"otherwise,

You know exactly what to expect. "

Tormen hurriedly turned his head and said, "I know, Sir Allen."

Allen nodded before the baron walked out of the study. His face was normal, but his back was already wet. Tomen called the butler, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Go and call Lai Qi back and tell him that there is no need to do that."

The butler nodded and hurried down.

The military barracks in Sunset City were brightly lit, and all the soldiers, including the slaves transferred from Xiayun Valley, were gathered on the training ground. Nearly a thousand people crowded the training ground so densely that there were almost no gaps. Dazed faces were written on most people's faces, especially the slaves, who were even more listless. When recruiting them, Tomen announced the rules of rewards to them, but they are not real soldiers after all, and the reputation of the noble lord has never been very good in their eyes.

Killing an enemy soldier can get a gold coin, which is a good thing that fell from the sky, but whether the noble lord will honor it is another matter.

A temporary platform was set up on the training ground, which was only less than half a meter above the ground. After everyone gathered, not long after, some people walked onto the stage. One of the silver-haired teenagers stepped forward, he glanced at the people below, and said lightly: "I am Alan, and I am your lord. In the past week, I have been with a group of brave warriors and Bauhinia, The two armies of Dawn Castle are in the field. After paying a high price, we have successfully weakened the enemy's army. However, some warriors will sleep forever on the earth, and only the strongest and bravest warriors can come back. "

"Now, it's time for me to fulfill my promise. Their efforts are rewarded, and my reward is the most direct. Now, the military statistics on the battlefield have come out. So, let's see what rewards these warriors can get .”

Veterans, recruits, slaves, began to focus on the high platform. Everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to see Allen's promise so fulfilled. Belmode handed a page of military merit statistics to Allen. Allen glanced at it and said loudly: "Laurie, you killed 17 enemies and got 17 gold coins! Please come to the stage to claim your reward."

A man exclaimed excitedly: "It's me, it's me!"

He pushed through the crowd, ran up to the stage, and took 17 gold coins from Kira with a glowing face. He also counted carefully, and after confirming that there were not many, he walked off the stage with a smile on his face.

"Then is Mades, kill 22 enemies and get 22 gold coins!"

From Allen's mouth, the names were reported one by one, and the amount of gold coins these people received was also reported. Listening to those melodious numbers, the people in the audience were breathing more and more heavily, and their gazes gradually became hotter. When Allen reported the person with the most outstanding military exploits, it was an officer who originally belonged to Sunset City. In the past week, as many as a hundred people died at his hands!

And for killing so many enemies, the reward he got was also as high as a thousand gold coins. Allen used practical actions to fulfill the high reward of thousands of gold coins for killing hundreds of people. When the officer stepped down with a heavy purse, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. And the reward of a thousand gold coins also brought gasps from the rest of the audience. If their eyes were only hot before, then now the eyes that were reddened by gold coins have revealed a real murderous look.

Allen received rewards from his own soldiers, as well as people from the Sunset City army system. Allen was fair and just, did not favor his soldiers, and quickly won the trust of the soldiers. And the most direct reward of gold coins raised their morale to the extreme.

After Allen distributed all the rewards, he raised the military merit report in his hand and said: "Tomorrow, there will be a fierce battle. And I hope that after the battle, your names will be on this form!"

In the roar of the tide, Allen left the barracks. On the way back to the City Lord's Mansion, Tomen said sincerely: "I never thought that I could inspire soldiers in such a direction."

"This is nothing new, it's just that I have given out more rewards and exchanged them more vigorously."

Tommen repeatedly said yes, and Alan smiled slightly. What he didn't say is that the incentive of money alone is not enough, a real invincible lion. Army quality, loyalty, sophisticated equipment, etc. are indispensable. Under these factors, material incentives are necessary, but material incentives alone are far from enough.

The night is short, and for Allen, there are too many things to arrange for a night, so much that the night is over in the blink of an eye; the night is long, at least for Sir Raffles and Olu, they have nothing to do. No sleepiness, so the night was extraordinarily long.

And whether short or long, nightclubs pass. So after dawn, horns sounded outside Sunset City, and the coalition forces of the two jazz finally marched towards Sunset City. Standing on the city wall, Allen could see different flags erected by the army on the opposite side. Sure enough, in this important battle of siege, the two lords still did not allow the army to conduct a unified dispatch.

In this way, although the armies of both sides advance together, they seem to be fighting independently.

Although they were pushing towards the city, the morale of the opponent's army was unexpectedly low. Even Tuomen, who knew nothing about fighting, could see it. As far as the attacker is concerned, an army with high morale must be murderous. However, the army on the opposite side seemed to be shrouded in a lingering haze. The soldiers were depressed and lacked fighting spirit.

Tormen couldn't help sneaking a glance at Allen. He couldn't figure out what the boy had done to that army to knock down their morale to such an extent.

Even Tormen could see that the morale of the army was low, but how could Sir Oro and Raffles not see it. But they can't change anything, after all, who has harassed Allen in the past few days so that he can't even sleep soundly, and it's normal for morale to be low. In order to motivate the soldiers, Oulu winked at Raffles, who cheered up and said loudly: "Everyone cheer up, look, Sunset City is right in front of you. Their strength can't exceed five hundred at most. Not even half of ours. For us, this battle is completely guaranteed."

"And I declare that for every ten enemies you kill, you can get a gold coin! That's right, it's a gold coin!"

Raffles repeated it aloud twice, and then there was some improvement, and the soldier's eyes brightened up. But when they started to enter the battlefield, they saw the gate of Sunset City open, which surprised the commanders of the two armies. They had suffered enough from Allen, and now they did not dare to despise each other, so at the same time they gestured to suspend the march, and the army stopped.

From the opposite city gate, groups of soldiers began to pour out. The soldiers pouring out of the city gate quickly entered the trenches dug before, each looking for a battle position. When seeing more and more enemy soldiers, the faces of the commanders and the jazz became very difficult to look at. Even if they didn't count them specially, based on the rough calculation of the crowds, they knew that there were far more than 500 people!

When all the troops in Sunset City entered the battle positions and positions, the morale of Jazz's coalition forces was hit again. When the dark group of people looked over, they knew that it was an army no less than their own. What's more, the enemy army on the opposite side is full of murderous intent, like a lion locking its prey! r1058
