Qin Dong returned with a great victory in this night attack, not only a big victory, but also captured more than a thousand people, if it weren't for the fact that the number of people participating in the night attack was too small, and it was not convenient to capture prisoners in the wild, I am afraid that the number of prisoners would be even more, and it was already very remarkable to capture so many people with only three hundred horsemen.

After Qin Dong returned with the escort cavalry escorting the captives, many officers and soldiers in the city cheered loudly, and the captives were dejected one by one, as if they had died of their fathers and mothers.

After handing over the captives to the soldiers, Qin Dong and the others returned to the city lord's mansion, everyone was elated, and Qin Dong ordered his subordinates to prepare wine and food, and the officers and civilian officials ate large pieces of meat and wine, and let the accompanying singers dance now to add to the fun, and the noisy and noisy play until late at night did everyone disperse.

However, it was said that after Odoase, Hall, Mundy, Homsis and others fled with wolves, the entire coalition army was scattered by Qin Dong's cavalry, and the soldiers and officers were scattered all over the surrounding area for dozens of miles, and they could not find soldiers, and soldiers could not find generals, fortunately, there were no people in this vicinity, and if there were, I am afraid that these people would suffer a military disaster.

Compared to the three Germanic tribal chiefs of Odoase, Hall, and Mondi, Homsis was in a much better situation, and at the moment of crisis, he organized his soldiers to form an infantry phalanx and evacuated the large camp in disarray, and did not stop until fifty or sixty miles away, when it was already dawn.

After counting the number of people, Homsis found that he now only had more than 300 people to command, and the others were nowhere to be found, there were originally more than 1,300 people, but now there are only 300 people, which means that he lost about 1,000 people without fighting a battle. Of course, not all of these 1,000 people were killed, only more than 200 were taken prisoner, and more than 200 were killed in the chaos. The remaining six hundred or so were scattered, and they should have been looking for Homsis headquarters at this time.

There was no choice but to order the troops to camp on the spot, and then send people to find and contact the three Germanic tribal leaders of Odoase, Hol and Mondi, and also send people to collect the rout.

In this era, everyone who served as a soldier was to make a living, and to say what faith they were for. It's pure nonsense, even if such a soldier has a lot of combat experience and a particularly strong fighting quality. But as long as there is a bombing camp or an emergency, it must be immediately scattered, and it is normal for Homsis to be scattered by more than 600 people, and it is not surprising that the soldiers of the three Germanic tribes will be completely defeated.

Until the afternoon. Only then did Homsis contact the three chiefs, Odoase, Hall, and Mundy. At this time, they were also gathering their own team, these three guys were more wolf than Homesis, but the losses were not large, those Germans had no discipline in fighting, but the kung fu of escaping was first-class, when Qin Dong led the cavalry escort team to rush into the camp and rush back and forth, most of the Germanic soldiers didn't even need weapons, and ran away with their legs. So not many were actually killed.

After two days, the three Germanic tribes and Homsis finally gathered together the rout scattered around. After counting, excluding the more than 1,100 people who were captured, more than 800 people were killed in the course of the night attack, which means that the coalition army lost nearly 2,000 people in total, a total of only about 5,500 people, and a one-time loss of two-fifths.

There was a gloomy cloud in the big tent of the coalition army, and the three Germanic chiefs of Odoase, Hall, and Mondi were still looking like wolves.

Homsis walked up and down the big tent with an ugly face and shouted: "Bastards, complete bastards, the Huns are too rude, this is a war, fighting a war is about etiquette, how can you raid in the middle of the night?" What a barbarian, who doesn't understand the rules at all! ”

Odoa said, "If you fight a war, you will die, and everyone will die, so who will tell you what manners and rules?" "It's just that he can only think like this in his heart, but he can't say it, he himself is not careful, he was the first to be attacked by Qin Dong, where is he qualified to say others?

Mundy rubbed his face and said: "Things are like this, no matter how angry it is, let's think about what to do now, now we have lost two thousand people, only more than three thousand, and the other party has 1,600 or seven hundred people, they are the defenders of the city, occupying a geographical advantage, at the same time, Qin Dong's ability to command troops is extremely strong, and his personal combat effectiveness is also very high, we want to recapture Razlog with these more than 3,000 people in our hands It is simply delusional, I am afraid that even if all of us are dead, we will not be able to recapture Razlog!" ”

Odoaser didn't speak, and Hall said, "What else can I do?" Now we can only fight to the death with that little cub, I can't swallow this breath, why can't so many of us kill him as a child? Are we all old? I don't care what you think, I'm not done with that kid! ”

This is Homsis who said: "Actually, my army is only the vanguard, don't you see that we don't carry heavy equipment?" Only a few soldiers brought small shields, the others wore only light armor and short swords, and our main army was already on its way, a total of one legion, and as soon as the main army arrived, the Huns in the city of Razlog would have to flee from the wind, but ......".

Odoasey said, "But what? ”

"But we lost so much without fighting a single battle, and when the main army arrives, it's not easy for us to explain to the legion leader, if the legion commander asks, what do we say? How embarrassing is it to say this kind of thing? I mean, we still have more than 3,000 people now, and the other side is only half of us, the walls of Razlog are not very long, there is not much room for many troops, we can fight a few battles with the Huns before the arrival of the main army, and when the commander asks, we also have a statement, don't we? If we had commanded it properly and had fought with all our might, we might have recaptured Razlog before the main army arrived, right? ”

The three tribal leaders looked at each other, their eyes exchanged for a moment, and finally the scheming Mundi spoke: "General Homsis, before the Huns attacked our camp at night, we have already discussed, and when the siege ladder is built, your army will take the lead in attacking the city as the main force, you now mention that you will fight a few battles before the arrival of the main army, of course we have to support, but as the main force of the siege, it should be served by the general's army, In addition, you also know that the weapons in the hands of our soldiers have suffered a lot of losses in the process of rout, do you think you should ask your logistics department to allocate some weapons to us first, which is considered to be borrowed by us, and we will return them to you after this battle? ”

In order to cover up his mistake of losing his troops before the battle in front of his superiors, Homsis fought a few battles with the Huns before the arrival of the main army, and counted the troops lost in the next few siege battles, only in this way could he escape the crime of dereliction of duty, although the requirements of the three tribal leaders seemed to him to be a bit excessive, but he gritted his teeth and agreed in order to escape punishment, and the meeting decided that his army would attack as the main force, and the armies of the other three tribes would support him at any time. And he had to allocate some weapons to the armies of the three tribes.

Since it was decided, the four of them immediately ordered the construction of a siege ladder at the same time, and the next day they carried the siege ladder in the direction of Razlog Fortress.

In order to prevent another surprise attack by the Qindong army, Odoase and Homses and others were much more careful this time, and they first sent scouts to reconnoiter along the way, and waited for the scouts to report that they did not find the enemy army in front before marching, and set off in the morning, and arrived at the city of Razlog again in the evening.

This time, Odoaser and the others learned wisely, and set up the camp more than ten miles south of the city of Razlognan, and basically could not see the camp of the coalition army from the city wall.

That night, in order to prevent Qin Dong from attacking at night again, Odoaser and others arranged for many reconnaissance cavalry to patrol around the camp, and arranged early warning measures, as long as the alarm sounded, the army in the large camp would get the news immediately, so that there would be enough time to prepare.

"Hey, do you think the Huns will come and raid us again tonight?" A sentry soldier asked.

Another sentry said, "Who can say for sure?" You guess they won't come to raid, maybe they will, you guess he will, but maybe they won't, let's waste our energy! ”

"That's right, why do you say the Huns are so cunning this time? They weren't like this before! ”

"I don't know!"

This night was very quiet, the Huns must have known that they gathered their forces and rushed over again, but they just didn't come to the night attack, in fact, Odoaser and others also made preparations for an ambush, as long as the Huns dared to come and raid again, they would kill from the shadows, but unfortunately, Odoaser and others were amorous, and the Huns didn't bird them at all.

This time, Qin Dong has already prepared a plan to cooperate with the outside world, he is ready to first ignite a piece of fire oil outside the city when the coalition army is attacking the city, first burn a part of the coalition army, and then order Tuo Long to lead five hundred cavalry to raid from behind, and finally he will lead his troops to rush out of the city and attack the coalition army in front and back, so that the remaining coalition army of more than 3,000 people is afraid that not many will be able to go back alive, but when he was about to do so, Liu San came to see him with the information passed on by the fine work.

Qin Dong learned that there was an army of legions in the Western Roman Empire that was rushing over, and it would only take about two days to arrive, he immediately gave up the idea of using a killer weapon now, and decided not to use the trick of flanking the front and back first, if the other party attacked the city now, he asked the soldiers to defend the city, and used the bed crossbow and other sharp weapons in his hand to kill and injure a large number of coalition troops, and then use the killer weapon to deal with them when the main army of the Western Roman Empire arrived, because at that time, the Second Route Army commanded by Muren was only afraid that it had already swept Hall's territory and rushed over, so that He has enough troops to deal with the coalition forces and to frighten these forces at once.
