Chapter 219: Massacre of Civilians
Without a declaration of war, without a siege, the Saxon legions rushed up at the first time and began to storm the city of Leber.
The city of Lebor can be divided into two parts, the old town before Eugen's arrival, and the new city built by Eugen afterwards.
The new city was built on the basis of the old city, which generally surrounds the old city in a semicircle, and to this day, the construction of the new city is only halfway underway, and many buildings and facilities are still unfinished.
The Saxon legion launched an assault, and the first to bear the brunt of the attack was the new town, which is currently uninhabited, except for a few patrol soldiers of the city guard and a part of the construction workers.
In the face of the swarming Saxon soldiers, these people were powerless to resist and were immediately slaughtered.
The Saxon soldiers were like crazy, even the ordinary workers, and the shouts of killing and screaming mixed together, staining the streets of the new town.
On the same day, the new town of Lebor was lost, and more than 700 soldiers and ordinary workers patrolling there were slaughtered.
The Lebor Protector retreated to the Old Town, which was protected by thick walls and moats and temporarily held off the attack of the Saxon legions.
It was only at the foot of the city wall that the Saxon soldiers retreated like a tide, leaving only corpses and blood everywhere.
The Saxons were also known for their brutality, and when given an order, the soldiers would not hesitate to swing their steel knives at the people who could not resist, but this time, the order of the Saxon commander was just four words: kill them.
And this cruel and terrifying Saxon commander is Corleone.
Unlike Rambo, Corleone's temperament has a ruthlessness that will not stop until he reaches his goal, this native Germanic man, while inheriting the fine traditions of his ancestors, he also inherited the wolf nature engraved in his bones.
He is like a wolf, once he has his eyes on his target, he will pursue it until he tears it to pieces and then swallows it in one gulp.
Right now, his goal is to capture Eugen, and in order to achieve this goal, everyone who stands in his way can be killed, even civilians.
"Tariq! I'm not done with you!! In the town hall of the old town, Eugen, who had received the news, had red eyes and roared like an angry dragon.
"The two armies are fighting, and you don't even let go of civilians, okay! Very good! I'm going to make you pay! Follow me! ”
With that, Eugen strode out of the town hall and toward the walls of the old city.
Captain Allen followed behind Eugen, he had just finished reporting the situation in the new city to Eugen, and Captain Allen was also very indignant at this time.
This time, the enemy did not abide by the bottom line of the nobles at all, like a group of barbaric robbers, who killed anyone they saw, and did not fear that this behavior would be condemned by all the nobles.
"This wolf lord is so crazy, it's desperate." The person who spoke was also followed by Eugen, none other than Palma, the new mayor of the city of Leber.
Just as Parma was talking to Eugen, he received news of the attack of the Saxon soldiers, and followed Eugen and them to the city wall.
At the moment, the people who remained in the new town were very good construction workers, and they were massacred, which was a great loss to the city of Leber, and Parma was now bleeding from heartache.
The three of them walked up the walls of the old city together, and when they looked out, they happened to see the corpses of the retreating Saxon soldiers and a place.
"You robbers!" Eugen couldn't contain his anger and shouted at the back of his enemy, "Are you crazy? They are just ordinary people, not soldiers, so why should you kill them? ”
Eugen's question was not answered, the Saxon soldiers were silent as if they were dead, no one even looked back, for them there was only the difference between the enemy and their own people, there were no ordinary people.
Eugen couldn't help it, and cursed on the walls again, venting his anger.
His every move was all watched by a pair of eyes in the Saxon Legion, there was no emotion in the gray eyes, his thin lips outlined a mocking arc, and he chuckled and said, "Hehe, Eugen...... Earl. ”
Corleone didn't tell anyone else about it, Eugen was no longer the same Eugen he was, and it was so bizarre that no one would believe him even if he said it.
What he has to do is to arrest Eugen and ask Eugen that question in front of everyone, and he wants to threaten the people Eugen cares about the most to force Eugen to tell his secret.
Then, Corleone will cut off his head with his own hands, and only by killing the current Eugen can he be regarded as avenging the past Eugen.
"Don't worry, Eugen, we'll meet soon!"
Corleone sneered, and the order was given, and the Saxon legions spread out again, besieging the city of Lebour. Their large camp was placed on the outskirts of the new city to prevent anyone from escaping in the city of Leber.
Eugen gritted his teeth and looked at the Saxon soldiers, he wanted to lead them out and rush into the enemy formation to fight fiercely, but reason told him that he must not do this.
At present, there are only 1,200 guards in the city of Lyber, and this is still an army cobbled together from all over the place, and its combat effectiveness is more than a grade lower than that of the formed Saxon soldiers.
Even if they had thirty soldiers of the Long Xiang Army, on such a battlefield of 1,000 people, the Long Xiang Army was only a drop in the bucket and did not play a big role.
Pig iron has been delivered to the First Iron and Steel Works, where blacksmiths are working day and night to create parts for new muskets.
It's just that this new musket has high requirements for accuracy and requires very careful polishing, and this kind of thing, even if it's urgent, can't be rushed.
They could only delay slowly, and wait until a month later, when a hundred new muskets were ready, and then it was time for the decisive battle.
To this end, Eugen once selected excellent young men from the entire city protection team, expanded the number of the dragon army to one hundred and twenty people, and participated in the daily training, just wait for the musket to be made, they can become qualified dragon army soldiers.
Simon was no longer involved in military decision-making, and spent his days in the Dragon's Army, passing on his experience and skills to the recruits and instructing them in training with the new muskets.
The use of the existing thirty new muskets is enough to meet the needs of daily training, but the ninety recruits who joined later have a worse foundation after all, and the shooting accuracy is always unsatisfactory.
Luckily, there is still a month to go, which is enough for them to fully train.
The arrival of the Saxon army seemed to darken the skies of the city of Leber, and the sky was covered with lead clouds, some ominous sign, over Lebore.
