Chapter 34 Union
On the seventh day of the Swiss besieging Diticon, the sixth day of the Western Qin people occupying Warren, a special guest came to Warren Fortress.
"Frank?" Bai Zhou heard the guards stationed in the city gate say that someone came from the other side of the river and said that there was an important information notice. Bai Zhou asked someone to lead the way and meet him in Warren City.
But I didn't expect that Frank would come in person. I saw Frank wearing a black cloak, probably last night to run out of the city of Didicon while covering the night. He didn't dry the water stains on his body or the horses. It seemed that he was swimming by directly and not taking a boat.
"Earl of St. White, I'm here to ask for help." Frank said without saying much nonsense and went straight to the point.
Bai Zhou knew about Diticon's situation, and at least three waves of scouts came to inform Diticon's situation every day. He also knew that Diticon's fall had been in the past few days. Now Viscount Zurich's son came in person, and it seemed that the situation had reached a very serious time. After all, it was impossible for the Western Qin scouts to enter the city to explore the actual situation of the Germans in Diticon. Bai Zhou and the others could only use information such as the Swiss attack strength and the German defense strength of the Germans every day to speculate how many days Diticon could hold on.
"Seeking for help? We only have a few thousand people, you know that this is incomparable to the Swiss." Although Bai Zhou saw Frank's arrival, he already knew that Diticon City should have reached the last moment. If he wanted to do something, it would take the last two days. However, the last time he attacked the Swiss troops on the banks of the Reus River, the Germans in the city did not make any support, and even did not even make an attack. If the two leaders of the Swiss army were not in conflict, the Western Qin people would have to flee in a panic. So this time, Bai Zhou did not think how much help the Germans in Diticon City could give them. Naturally, his plan would not easily tell Frank.
"It's really like this." Frank's face was gone without the tranquility of the past, and he seemed to be muttering to himself: "Barbarossa really didn't send reinforcements. Damn it, don't he know that it's impossible for us to fight the Swiss alone. It seems that we can only surrender all the way."
"Surrender?" Bai Zhou knew that the Germans in the city would definitely choose to surrender when there was no hope of resistance. However, judging from the Germans' resistance attitude and strength yesterday, it should be no problem for the Germans to hold on for another three or four days, but he did not expect that he still overestimated their fighting will.
"Yes, my father and Viscount St. Gallen agreed to send an envoy to negotiate with the Swiss. After all, they didn't want to lose their lives in vain." Frank said in a low voice, with a feeling of reluctance.
"They? What about you, Baron." Bai Zhou heard the trace of determination in Frank's mouth, as if he didn't want to surrender to the Swiss.
"I am a German. Even if I can't expand my territory for my people, I can't stand being bullied by those dirty Swiss people. But what can I do if I don't want to do? Everyone agreed to surrender." Frank sighed. He had risked his life to cross the river this time to wonder if Barbarossa really didn't send a soldier. Now looking at Warren City, indefinitely, except for the Western Qin people and some militias, he did not see even a yellow eagle flag. He had already begun to despair, as if the words "I am a German" had used all his strength.
"Sir Baron, I want to know, if you go back now, how many soldiers can you control at most!" Bai Zhou looked at the Germanic man in front of him. Although he didn't have much contact with him, after just these few contacts, he found that he was not an ordinary guy. At least, the courage to cross the river alone proves that he is not a courageless person. Since that's the case, Bai Zhou doesn't mind fighting with him.
"What does it mean? Do you want me to fight to the death? I can, but I can't just sacrifice those soldiers in vain." A gleam flashed in Frank's eyes, but it seemed that he had thought of something, and the gleam gradually dimmed again.
"To be honest, Barbarossa could not send any reinforcements to this conquest of Switzerland. Because, the conquest of Switzerland will be borne by our Xiqin!" Bai Zhou spoke loudly. He had decided to unite with the Germanic baron in front of him, so he told Frank the truth. In fact, to destroy the Swiss as much as possible, Bai Zhou knew that relying on himself alone was not enough, and he had to unite the Germans of Diticon. However, the last battle was a little disappointed, so this time Bai Zhou wanted to attack the Swiss, and did not count the Germans in it. However, Frank's arrival made him know that not every German in the city was willing to surrender to the Swiss.
"What a joke? You guys are just a few people. Will Barbarossa ask you to conquer the whole of Switzerland?" Frank was frightened. Of course, he thought Bo Zhou was joking.
"Believe it or not, I'm telling the truth anyway." After Bai Zhou finished speaking, he thought about the words and said, "You should know that the Holy Roman Empire is not calm now, and it is hindering Barbarossa in many aspects, so how could he still have the energy to conquer Switzerland now?"
"This... even if he can't send troops here, how could he send only three or four thousand of you to conquer Switzerland, God, you are just dying, it's really hard to believe." Frank actually believed it in his heart, otherwise, he wouldn't have explained that Barbarossa has not yet come, but it would be crazy to send these thousands of people to unify Switzerland.
"Facts are facts, whether you believe it or not. Now it depends on whether you dare to bet." Bai Zhou actually discovered that the reason why Barbarossa agreed to the Western Qin people to conquer Switzerland was that he knew that it was impossible for him to unify the entire territory of Switzerland and to capture one or two places at most. In this way, it can be used as a springboard for the Holy Roman Empire to attack Switzerland in the future. If he can really unify Switzerland on his side, I am afraid Barbarossa will have a headache. After all, the Swiss have more defense and insufficient offense, and it is unlikely to pose a threat to the Holy Roman frontier. Once the Western Qin side takes over Switzerland, the situation will be completely different.
"God, today I am completely confused. How dare you gamble?" Frank, a baron with a good aristocratic education, always faces various problems with an elegant face, but today, he suddenly found that he was in a mess and was led by the earl in front of him.
"Just tonight, we will attack the Swiss camp. Do you dare to come together!" Bai Zhou walked forward two steps towards Frank and lowered his voice.
Frank originally wanted to say "What are you kidding?", but looking at Bai Zhou's serious expression, it didn't seem like he was joking, so he spoke again: "How sure are you?"
"If you win, you can decide Switzerland in one battle. If you lose, we can run away. If you lose, you will have to die." Bai Zhou did not say that he was sure. In fact, he didn't know how much "grasp" this thing. However, he made it clear to Frank about all the situations that would happen after victory or defeat.
Frank pondered for a long time, clenching his hands into fists, raised his head, and said, "Don't do it!"
Bai Zhou saluted the Western Qin army to the German noble. No matter what the result was, Bai Zhou felt that the guy in front of him was worthy of respect. Life and death are not so easy to see. Especially for those who have glory and wealth, they will cherish their lives more. In other words, they are called timid and afraid of death.
