Chapter 205: Attacking the cottage in the middle of the night

Several forces have joined together to form an army called a coalition army, and now these three Germanic and Western Roman Empire armies have united to deal with Qindong, which is the case, the advantage is that there are many troops, which are much stronger than a single army, but there are also disadvantages, that is, a unified command system cannot be formed, and there is no final decision.

The Germanic people and the Western Roman Empire were not very harmonious, because the Germanic people had long been scattered and lived in the territory of the Roman Empire, and they were often exploited by local Roman officials, which caused national contradictions and disputes for a long time, and even caused rebellions, and the Germanic people were very hostile to the people of the Roman Empire, while the Romans thought that the Germanic people were barbarians, and the development of civilization was much worse than that of the Roman Empire, because there was a kind of contempt for the Germanic people in their hearts, and they naturally regarded the Germanic people as inferior. Even those Roman officials and military officers with barbarian blood were like this, let alone pure-blood Romans, it is the same reason that modern city people look down on country people, and think that they are country buns.

This time, Odoas, Hall, Mundy and Homsis united to deal with Qin Dong, and they had much more troops than Qin Dong, but they were full of internal contradictions, Odoasey and other three Germanic tribal leaders only wanted to preserve their strength, cherish their troops, and refused to make any effort to the death, and Homsis in order to cover up the responsibility of being raided by Qin Dong as soon as he arrived and suffered heavy losses, and advocated a large-scale siege of the city, which was contrary to the idea of Odoasey and others who wanted to preserve their strength, so there were contradictions between these parties.

Odoase, Hall, and Mundy wanted to retake the fortress of Razlog. But he wanted to preserve his own strength and let the Romans attack the fortress at the expense of his forces, although Homsis was not a man of great intelligence. But it's not a two-to-one comparison, he doesn't want to be the boss of this wrong, it's like the host asking a neighbor to come over to help fight the robbers, the host is afraid of death, and wants to watch the excitement by himself, but he hopes that the neighbor who invited to help risk his life to fight the robbers, is it really a fool for others? Your master doesn't contribute to it himself. Do you expect others to fight the robbers for you? The idea is too powerful, right?

After catching the lot, Hall could only consider himself unlucky, and ordered his soldiers to start the siege under the watchful eyes of Odoase, Mondy, Homsis and others.

I have to admit that the barbarian soldiers have a natural advantage in cold weapon combat, once they start to get angry. All of them are not afraid of death, especially the barbarians who have lived in the hills and mountains for a long time, and they are stronger than the soldiers of the farming peoples in terms of climbing ability, and Hall's soldiers are very flexible in climbing on the siege ladder. It's fast and fast. This put a lot of pressure on the soldiers defending the city under Qin Dong.

In order to prevent the barbarian soldiers from climbing the city wall, Qin Dong ordered the archers to help the slingers, and shoot arrows at the barbarian soldiers besieging the city, archery is much easier and more convenient than throwing stones, shooting arrows at such a close range is almost a hundred shots, and there are very few barbarian soldiers who can climb the city wall along the lĂŹ, even if they climb the city wall, they are quickly besieged and killed by the defending soldiers because of their weak strength.

After the first wave of attacks was repulsed. Hall organized two more sieges, but they were unsuccessful. On the contrary, it paid a lot of casualties. After an afternoon of fighting, Hall's soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and at about five o'clock in the afternoon, the sky was getting dark, and his own casualties were too great, Hall took the opportunity to order to stop the siege, and the day's battle was over.

Counting the battle losses before dinner, Hall almost didn't vomit blood, and in only three hours, more than 200 people were killed, more than 120 were seriously wounded, more than 160 were slightly injured, and more than 500 people were directly injured in the battle, which was almost two-thirds of all the troops he brought, and he was no longer able to organize another attack, and even if there was another battle in the future, he could only watch from the side, and he couldn't help at all.

That night, Homsis, Odoasa, Mundy, Hall and others got together after dinner to discuss, Homsis meant to continue to strengthen the offensive tomorrow, although he and Hall both suffered great losses during the day today, but he speculated that Qin Dong's casualties must not be small, so if he continues to strengthen the offensive tomorrow, he may be able to break through the city.

Odoaser and Mundy saw that both Homsis and Hall had suffered heavy casualties in the siege battle today, and they thought that their soldiers would not be better than those of Hall and Homsis, and if they continued to attack tomorrow, it would definitely be their turn, so they strongly objected.

Mundy said: "Captain of the Homses United, I believe that you all know the results of today's siege, the casualties are very large, with our current strength, in the absence of siege weapons, I am afraid that it will be difficult to break through the city, and tomorrow's siege will only increase casualties, I think it is better to wait for the arrival of the main force of your army, according to what you said yesterday, the main force will arrive the day after tomorrow at the latest, why can't we wait another day?" As soon as the main force of your army arrives, and the siege army helps with large siege equipment, I think it will be easy to break through the city! ”

"Yes, yes, I think the leader of Mundi is very right, it is better to wait for the main force of your army to arrive before attacking the city!" After Mundy finished speaking, Odoasey immediately agreed.

No matter what Homsis said, Odoase and Mundy refused to attack the city tomorrow, insisting on waiting until the main army of the Macedonian province of Western Rome arrived before attacking the city.

"Since you don't agree to continue the siege tomorrow, then I can't be reluctant, but you must promise me one thing, I am going to organize a sneak attack tonight, fifty people from each of our four sides, a total of two hundred people, in the middle of the night while the Huns are asleep to secretly climb the Silver Pine Ridge, and strive for the success of this sneak attack, since the Huns ignore the rules of war and engage in sneak attacks, then we don't have to be polite to them, didn't you sneak attack once last time, but failed? I don't think they would have imagined that we would attack Yinsongzhai again, and this time it will definitely be successful! ”

Odoaser and the others looked at each other, fifty on each side, this number is not much, they can take it, but is Homsis really sure?

Odoase and Mundy had just refuted Homsis's face, and now that Homsis had made this request in exchange for concessions, they were embarrassed to refuse any more, so they could only agree, and only Hall was left alone, and in this case, Hall was weak and could not oppose at all, and the matter was settled.

The next thing is to select the man, fifty people from each of the four forces, these people have to be selected from the soldiers under their command, and they still have to select elite soldiers, fortunately, the number is not very large, and it will not be long before two hundred people are gathered.

A good meal of wine and meat was entertained, so that these two hundred people were fed and drunk, on the one hand, so that they could eat and have the strength to fight, and on the other hand, because the outcome of this operation was unpredictable, in case of failure, these people were afraid that there would not be many people who could come back, and this meal would be regarded as a send-off wine for them, and they would be ready to go on the road when they were full of food and drink.

This sneak attack was commanded by Odoase, among the leaders of the four forces, only Odoaser was the youngest, and he was extremely brave, everyone recommended him to lead the team, if this kind of thing was in the past, Odoasee was the best, and a hundred were definitely willing, but now it is different, although he is very young, but he is already the leader of a tribe, he must plan for his tribe, just like the army's requirements for the regiment commander and the company commander are different, the regiment commander must stay in the rear to command, and the company commander must lead the team to rush to the front line of the battle. Although Odoasai tried every possible way to shirk it, he still couldn't shirk it, so he could only put on the battle himself.

There isn't much weather tonight, and now it's about to enter winter, and there are cold winds howling at night, and tonight is no exception, but tonight's moonlight is good, and there is moonlight, which is not good for the sneak attack team led by Odoase.

Finally, in the middle of the night, about three o'clock in the morning, when people were most sleepy, Odoaser led the team to slowly touch the bottom of the Silver Pine Ridge Mountain, the mountain was pitch black, nothing could be seen clearly, and no one knew if there was a sentry, in order to minimize the chance of being discovered, Odoaser ordered everyone to go up the mountain carefully, take care of their weapons, and do not let the weapons collide with the armor, because this will make a sound.

"There is a moon today, why is it colder than yesterday?" On the wall of the Silver Pine Wall, a Slavic soldier yawned with a spear and asked his companions.

Most of the Slavs of this period were distributed in Eastern Europe and the vast northern regions north of the Black Sea and the Caucasus, but a small number of them migrated to the south with the wave of national migration, scattered in Bulgaria, Romania, Macedonia, Serbia and other regions.

At this time, the Slavs, whether they are distributed in the vast area north of the Caucasus Mountains, or scattered in the south, have basically been conquered by the Huns, during the war, generally as a servant army of the Huns to follow the Huns to fight, they will also ride horses, archery, but the combat effectiveness is not as good as the Huns, and the number is small, the Slavs have a characteristic that other peoples do not have, they are particularly hardy.

"Who knows?" A Burgundian soldier next to him said. The Huns conquered many nationalities, and the captured captives also said in particular, in the territory of the Huns, there are many nationalities living in the territory of the Huns, as long as they surrender, they can get a chance to live, so they are scattered all over Europe, and there are many ethnic groups living in the territory of Qindong, these people form tribes, but they have all been conquered, as long as Qin Dong's conscription order is issued, they have to send the strongest young people to join Qin Dong's army, plus there is no indiscriminate tax collection in Qindong's territory, Moreover, the salary of the army is very high, the treatment is very good, and for some families who are soldiers, there are tax exemptions, which makes the people in Qindong's territory willing to send their sons to the army.

"What sound?" The Slavic soldiers seemed to hear voices coming from below the wall.

"Hey, there's a figure over there!" The Burgundian soldier followed the voice and immediately shouted: "Enemy attack, enemy attack ......".

After a few shouts came out, the alarm sounded immediately in Yinsong Village: "Dangdangdang.......". (To be continued......)
