Chapter 90: The Capture of Gilholtz

When Cheng Yun led people to attack the city lord's mansion, the main force led by Pan Xiaogu also attacked the north gate.

"The first battalion of the infantry army swept the city to the west, focusing on blocking the city gate, and Captain Yang was responsible for supporting!" The 1,000 cavalry infantry was divided into two battalions of 500 men each.

"The water battalion supports Ruda to the east, and after capturing the east gate, continue to attack south to capture the south gate and the dock!" The naval battalion is composed of sailors and marines, including more than 300 sailors and more than 600 marines, because the warships are still on paper, they can only be used as infantry temporarily, and they are the battalion leaders with the largest number of people, and Pan Xiaogu assigned them two targets.

"The second battalion left one team to defend the north gate, and the others attacked the city, advancing along the streets as a team, sweeping the streets, quickly occupying the key points in the city, not attacking the houses, and killing in case of resistance! The scout battalion reassures the inhabitants of the city and tells them to stay at home and not go out! ”

The scout camp had learned Turkic and could converse simply, and now each of them had a large horn rolled up in paper.

Pan Xiaogu also had a battalion of cavalry in his hand, and Pan Xiaogu divided it into two groups, each equipped with a beast warrior who had contracted a raptor, and was specifically responsible for sweeping away those who escaped from the city.

Another battalion of cavalry established a blockade between the cities of Gilholz and Rezwan, also accompanied by a raptor of prey, to cut off the connection between the two cities.

The last Raptor Beast Warrior followed Pan Xiaogu as his battlefield eye.

"Lord Thorn Shi, the pro-military camp has taken the small dock outside the city, and no ships have escaped!" The beast warrior, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and said happily to Pan Xiaogu.

Pan Xiaogu now had only two or three soldiers to escort him, as well as more than 200 militiamen temporarily recruited from Xianyue Township as escorts, and more than 300 militiamen outside the city to help take care of the horses and livestock.

Although the territory of Xianyue Township has not yet established a standing army, more than 2,000 militia have been conscripted to help in the war this time.

Most of these militiamen were in the rear to take care of the rear road and transfer supplies, Pan Xiaogu only brought 500 people to assist in the siege this time, but until last resort, Pan Xiaogu did not plan to send these people directly to the front line.

However, even if you don't go to the front line, you can accumulate some battlefield experience, and the most important thing is to experience the battlefield atmosphere, which will be more convenient when you become an army in the future.

"Lord Thorn Shi, I've found Cheng Duwei, our people have already taken the City Lord's Mansion!" Pan Xiaogu was secretly calculating how large a standing army to establish in the String Moon Territory was appropriate, when he was suddenly awakened by the shouts of the Beast Master.

Fortunately, the good news was that the Beast Warrior saw a raised banner of the Tocharian army in a courtyard in the city.

The flag is a serious matter in ancient times, representing the position of a force, and it cannot be set up randomly, Wuhe Town is nominally a subordinate of Anxi, and the military flag must of course follow the flag of the Tang Army, and Pan Xiaogu only has one flag that represents the identity of the commander.

"Which unit is closest to Captain Cheng?" Hearing Pan Xiaogu's question, the beast master hurriedly closed his eyes and observed through the eyes of the birds of prey in the sky.

After a while, he opened his eyes and said, "It's the second battalion and the fifth team!" ”

"Herald, immediately order the second battalion and five teams to advance to the City Lord's Mansion and join Lord Cheng!" After a herald asked the location of the castle lord's mansion, he mounted his horse and went to herald.

The fall of Gilholtz was inevitable as the 2nd Infantry Battalion captured several key points in the city and divided the town into several pieces.

Even though there were still thousands of garrisons in the city that had been called up, most of them were at home before the battle, and they could not be assembled in time after the battle broke out, and now that the main streets of the city were cordoned off, and the main officers were killed and wounded in the first wave of blows, it was impossible for them to assemble again.

In addition, the besiegers did not seem to be horse thieves, did not burn and loot, and kept pacifying the people in the city in Turkic language, these defenders who were trapped in their homes simply hid their weapons and turned into good citizens.

As for those guys who saw the opportunity very quickly and turned into the wind, uh... It can only be said that I wish them good luck that they can escape the search of human drones outside the city and the pursuit of cavalry.

The battle basically came to an end by noon, and Pan Xiaogu was also prompted by the system that he had not seen for a long time.

"Successfully capture Gilholtz, reward 1000 development points, and 1 township-level territory certificate."

The system is now less and less nonsense, and its presence is becoming thinner and thinner.

With the second Territory Credential in hand, Pan Xiaogu couldn't wait to start searching for leyline nodes where he could build a territory - this feature could only be used with a Territory Credential, and the search range was related to the number of territories he controlled.

Since Pan Xiaogu learned that the Arab Empire was also involved in the Persian chaos, he had a sense of urgency, and he wanted to complete the minimum requirements of the main quest as soon as possible, and he had a hunch that the Persian Kingdom could not hold on, and it could be destroyed by the two powerful enemies at any time, and if he didn't want to be turned into a salted fish, he had to hurry up.

In addition, the previous Xianyue Township was not recognized as a territory established on the territory of Persia, and there was no increase in the progress of the mission.

After owning two territories, the system has increased the search radius of the leyline node by 50%, from about 100 kilometers with Xize Township as the center to about 150 kilometers, and at the same time, because the territory has become two, the search center has also become two.

However, this time, Pan Xiaogu did not pay attention to the nodes located in the east, but only focused on the nodes in Persia west of the Boundary Mountain.

There is only one such node, and it is located exactly near Forward Base 5.

"Looks like I'm going to have to go back." Pan Xiaogu muttered in his heart

"I don't know how Cheng Yun will feel after the new territory is built."

Because the system has the ability to forcibly distort people's cognitive abilities, there is no need to worry about the risk of exposure, Pan Xiaogu is a little curious about Cheng Yun What new reason will be made up by their brains to forcibly justify the existence of the new territory.

It's always been so forcibly made up, and I don't know if I'll make up for it. Pan Xiaogu thought with some malice.

However, before that, Pan Xiaogu still needs to take Rezwan City before the news leaks, and then think about other things.

Pan Xiaogu's original plan was to take Gilholtz and send people to pretend to be refugees who had fled the city, blend into the city of Rezwan, and then cooperate with the army to capture the city, but there were several difficulties here.

It takes a lot of manpower to cooperate with the inside and outside, but there are too few Hu people under him, and the appearance of the Han people is too different from the Hu people in the Western Regions, and it is easy to be found when they mix in.

The other is that he is worried about whether the people of Rezwan City will not be rescued and will not let the refugees enter the city, this is not Pan Xiaogu's unfounded worries, according to the information investigated by the scout camp before, the city lords of the two cities seem to have some grievances, and the relationship is not so friendly.

But now it seems that Pan Xiaogu's original plan can be changed slightly, because the leader of the Hu caravan who surrendered before the battle made a tempting suggestion in order to survive...
