Chapter 283: Retaking Hesse

Just like Situ Jingtian said, the people of Yanhuo are originally nomadic people, and their traditional life makes them more suitable for rapid raids and field battles, and they are not good at defending and attacking cities. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The current siege skills of the Yanhuo Kingdom are still because of the training of the Tianshui Kingdom for decades, and as for the ability to defend the city, it is completely unsatisfactory.

Situ Jingtian led the troops all the way, and what he saw was loopholes everywhere. Now that he has seen these mistakes, Situ Sedum will of course use them to attack Hesse City.

For example, outside the city, there were no patrols to patrol the surrounding 30 miles. For another example, only a few people were sent to monitor the surrounding movements on the city wall, and the city gates were not closed.

It may also be that they think that now that Blackwater City is being attacked by them, they are too busy to take care of themselves, and it is impossible to attack them at all, so they let their guard down.

But no matter what, this created a great opportunity for Situ Sedum.

"This Yanhuo country people really don't know how to defend the city, they are so careless. Prince, according to the people of Yanhuo captured by the spies, there were only 20,000 people in Hesse, and the city was only defended by a young lieutenant general who was participating in the war for the first time. Haha, it looks like God bless us! ”

Lying on the snow with Situ Jingtian, Qu Wei looked at Hesse City from afar, his face was full of happiness and joy.

"Don't take it lightly, you must take this battle seriously, you must take Hesse City. Has the team led by Chen San already mixed into the city? ”

Afraid that everyone would be the same as Qu Wei and look down on the people of Yanhuo Country, Situ Jingtian said with a serious face.

"The prince rest assured, Chen San and the others have changed into the clothes of the Yanhuo people and have already entered the city. Chen San was proficient in the language of the Yanhuo Kingdom and did not arouse the suspicion of the defenders of the city at all. Now wait for the signal for our siege, and they will open the gates in the city. ”

Knowing that Situ Jingtian was afraid that he would underestimate the enemy, and that he was affecting the siege of the city, Qu Wei touched his nose and smiled.

"Tell the army to rest on the spot, and eat the dry food brought out when hungry. When the evening comes, we will attack the city, and we must take Hesse in one fell swoop. ”

Situ Jingtian nodded, then turned his head to a lieutenant general on the side and said.

"Yes, the last general commands."

The lieutenant general on the side immediately took the order, carefully rubbed down the steep slope, and then ran towards the rear.

This is a hillside, just above the walls of Hesse. Behind the slope is a large forest, and although it is already winter and many of the trees have lost their leaves, there are still many pine trees that are still green.

The 100,000-strong army brought by Situ Sedum was divided into four parts, and surrounded Hessian City in these four directions. The armies on all sides were now hiding in the forests around Hesse.

The city of Hesse is called Hessian City because of the number of forests around it. Now, it is convenient for Situ Sedum's movements.

Originally, when the army came to Hesse, it was already unitary time. After stopping on the spot and resting for a while, at ten minutes of sunset, the army ate a dry ration, and then continued to rest and wait for information about the attack.

Situ Jingtian sat on top of a pile of fallen leaves, resting with his eyes slightly closed. There was no fire or sports to keep warm, so the sergeants all gathered together in groups to keep warm. Fortunately, it was in the woods, and there were trees to shelter it, so I didn't feel too cold.

It's just that after the sun began to set, the cold began to rise, and for a while it was even more difficult than in the daytime.

However, they are all battle-hardened soldiers, so that no one can bear it. After waiting like this for a while, when the hour arrived, Situ Jingtian finally stood up.

"Give the order to go down and let the sergeants move for a quarter of an hour, and after a quarter of an hour, start the siege!"

"Yes!"

The heralds guarding Situ Jingtian's side, after receiving the order, immediately dispersed and ran towards the teams.

A quarter of an hour later, when Szeto's team fired the first rocket at Hesse City, the siege battle officially began.

When the defender of the Yanhuo Country, the young Muler who participated in the war for the first time, was still asleep, the city of Hesse he was defending had already been breached.

Fortunately, for his safety, Muller's father specially sent a team of tribal guards to protect him, and when he found that the situation was wrong, he quickly woke Muller up and escorted him out of the chaotic Hesse City.

In the end, when Muller fled to safety, he found that there were less than 3,000 men left who had escaped with him. The 20,000 defenders of the city actually lost 17,000 people at once, which made Mu Liao dumbfounded for a moment.

With such a big mistake, I returned to Black Rock City, and I am afraid that punishment is indispensable! Like a defeated rooster, Muller wept and mourned, guarded by the remaining 3,000 or so men, all the way towards Black Rock City.

"Prince, Hesse has been recaptured. Unfortunately, the defender Muller escaped. ”

Qu Wei ran over with a bloody face on his face, and said to Situ Jingtian, who was already sitting in the lobby of the yamen.

"What are the casualties of our sergeants? How many enemies are destroyed? ”

Although it was a pity that the guard Mule had escaped, Situ Jingtian was more concerned about the casualties of the sergeants he brought.

"Due to the proper raid, our army suffered less than 100 casualties, annihilated more than 5,000 enemies, and captured nearly 10,000 people."

As soon as he talked about this casualty rate, a smile appeared on Qu Wei's face. The recapture of the city with such low casualties and the heavy defeat of the enemy is a rare victory.

"Yes, but don't get too excited. You must know that we have an army of 100,000, and we attack 20,000 with 100,000, if we can't defeat them, it will be too incompetent! ”

Having won the victory, Situ Jingtian was of course very happy, especially since there were so few casualties. However, Situ Jingtian was afraid that everyone would get carried away because of a little victory, which was a reminder of Qu Wei.

"Don't worry, the prince will understand."

Qu Wei hurriedly straightened his attitude and said with a serious face.

"By the way, Chen San is back."

"Okay, Chen San has made a great contribution here, without them opening the city gate, we wouldn't have been able to recapture Hesse City so smoothly. In this way, first remember Chen San's merits, and after the big victory, he will definitely be rewarded for his merits. ”

Situ Jingtian smiled and said to Qu Wei.

"Alright, count the supplies, dispose of the battlefield, and cremate the body. Send someone to inform Blackwater that the task has been completed and Hesse City has been successfully recaptured. Then leave 20,000 soldiers to garrison, and we can march towards Black Rock City. (To be continued.) )
