Chapter 240: "Soldiers Coming to the City"
"What about the number of casualties?", Nasa asked, looking at the city below, which had been occupied by the Black Gang soldiers, two-fifths of which had been occupied by the Black Gang soldiers.
Putting down the silk book in his hand, the adjutant said: "The situation is not very good, although the advance speed is fast, but the casualties of the soldiers are too heavy." The ratio of casualties is almost two to three, and it is rising."
"Well, order Nata, lead your legions, and use the shortest possible time and at all costs to annihilate the second and third main legions of Elt", Nasa frowned, looking at the position in the center of the city.
"Marshal.........", the adjutant was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly spoke.
Waving his hand, interrupting the adjutant's words, Nasa said, "I know what I'm doing, carrying out military orders."
"Yes, marshal," the adjutant said no more, but with a touch of worry on his face. The five temporary legions under the leader of Nata are all comparable to the existence of the main army. More than 400,000 people died in the battle of Lonely Mountain City, and the adjutants were distressed, and now it seems that Marshal Nasa wants to let these five temporary legions be completely buried in this war!
With the issuance of the Nasa military order, the remaining 500,000 base soldiers fell into a frenzy. Ignoring the consumption of the power of the stars, he sang all the way, tearing through layers of defense.
In the face of the madness of the Heigang soldiers, the Elt soldiers retreated one after another, a large area of the city was occupied, and the city lord's mansion also fell into the hands of the Heigang soldiers.
The living space of Elt's soldiers is constantly compressed, and they can only shrink into a corner of the city. Become a caged bird and a turtle in an urn.
Nearly a million Elt soldiers, two ordinary legions, two main legions, the western Ayutthaya garrison, and some miscellaneous soldiers, now there are only more than 100,000 left.
The situation has been decided, and Nata has proposed to Nasa to persuade the hundreds of thousands of Elt soldiers to surrender. But Nassar did not take Nata's opinion, but adopted the adjutant's opinion, and slaughtered these hundreds of thousands of Elt soldiers, and the person who carried out the order was Nata.
"Deputy Commander of the Black Cloud, why did you suggest that the marshal slaughter those Elt soldiers, wouldn't it be better to surrender?", Nata looked at the adjutant with an unkind expression.
The adjutant shook his head and said, "Do you think that with the current situation of the principality, how long can it drag on in the Principality of Elt, and how many troops can be stationed here?"
With that, the adjutant left. Nata fell into contemplation, in the Heigang Principality, King Wuyong was eyeing him, and there was a possibility of rebellion at any time. Now, most of the legions of the Principality of Heigang are trapped in the war with the Principality of Elt, and for the safety of the Principality, it is imperative to end the war as soon as possible.
Moreover, after the war, too many legions could not be left to garrison the occupied lands, and most of the legions had to return to the principality to maintain stability. In this way, the possibility of the Principality of Elt regaining territory must be eliminated to the greatest extent, so the living forces of these Principalities of Elt must die!
After figuring it out, Nata did not hesitate to mobilize a large army and besiege these remaining Elt soldiers. Nearly half of these remaining Elt soldiers were wounded and disabled, and their combat strength was not as good as that of a temporary division of 50,000 men.
All the surviving base soldiers participated in the siege, and more than 100,000 base soldiers spent more than half an hour to kill the remnants of these more than 100,000 Elt.
Millions of corpses are piled up in every corner of the city. The rich smell of blood permeated the whole city, and the blood gathered into a river and flowed in the city.
Standing on the street, the tower stepped heavily on the bluestone slab, making a muffled sound. Blood, splashing with footsteps, wet shoes and trouser legs.
Beside the tower, blood-stained soldiers were carrying the corpses to the open area, either by hand or in rough wooden carts.
The corpses were piled up into a hill, and bundles of firewood were set on it. As the torch was thrown on it, the smoke rose from the sky, the corpses sizzled, the oil droplets slipped down, and the burnt smell of the meat was disgusting.
Five days later, the corpses were burned, but the city was still so dead silent, and there was no one but the patrolling Heigang soldiers. The smell of burnt and gagging blood was still as strong.
The ruined houses, the city walls, the red streets, and the blackened squares all tell the true meaning of war, cruelty, blood, and the nightmare of all normal people.
The fall of the western city meant that the western part of the Elt Principality completely fell into the hands of the Heigang Principality.
The five-day rest relieved the surviving Heigang soldiers of physical fatigue and psychological discomfort. Maybe you don't notice it when you fight, but when you see the battlefield like a sea of corpses, you will be afraid, fearful and other emotions will hit your heart.
After resting, this journey is not over yet. Nasa received news from the barbarian slaves, and the Duchy of Elt transferred all the troops in the east to the national capital, preparing for a desperate battle.
According to the intelligence of the scouts, I am afraid that not only the east, but also the armies of the north and south are close to the capital of Elt.
Nassar was to march as soon as possible, and after half a day, he and the barbarian slaves besieged the capital of the Duchy of Elt. Engage in a final campaign and take the entire Duchy of Elt in one fell swoop.
Halfway through the journey, the army of Qushang City arrived and joined Naza, and the army numbered more than 2 million. The Black Cloud Legion, four ordinary legions, six temporary legions, and more than 100,000 base soldiers.
The battle damage is very serious, it can be said that less than one-third of the entire Heigang army that went out is now left.
And, in the Principality of Elt, two of the five main legions were completely wiped out, only four ordinary legions remained, and eleven more were left in the temporary legions.
If the Principality of Heigang had not obtained a million base soldiers and had not signed an alliance with the barbarian slaves, it would not be the capital of the Principality of Elt that is in crisis now.
.........
The capital of the Duchy of Elt, immersed in the long darkness of the night. The gates were closed, and patrols were everywhere on the walls, and at each battlement, there was an Elt soldier with a torch in one hand and a sword in the other, staring nervously at the rolling hills outside the city.
"Huh~"
The sound of breaking the air sounded, and the Elt soldier standing at the battlement raised his head, "poof", a sharp arrow, directly nailed to the chest of the Elt soldier, and broke out of his back.
What followed was a rain of arrows.
Like a dark cloud, it fell on the walls of the capital of Elt. The Elt soldiers, standing at the battlements and holding torches, became a living target, and the patrol team was a moving target.
arrows, taking away their lives.
"Enemy attack!", the roar rang out from all corners of the city walls. The distant sound of the trumpet resounded over the entire Elt capital, and the silence of the city was broken.
The national capital, inside the imperial palace. The Emperor of the Duchy of Elt was discussing strategy with his ministers, and he looked tired after not resting for a week.
The distant sound of the trumpet interrupted everyone's deliberation.
"Everyone, it's up to you whether you survive or die," said the Emperor of the Duchy of Elt, standing up and saying with a tired face, still without losing the domineering spirit of a king.
"We will die," the ministers knelt down and said in unison.
.........
In the darkness of night, after a round of projectiles, Nassar ordered the archers to retreat. Shooting the guards of Elt's walls was nothing more than to harass the enemy army and keep them in a state of mental tension.
Outside the capital of Elt, the soldiers of Heigang are stationed.
A strong, hideous man, a thin, cunning old man. These two, messengers of the barbarian slaves, came to consult with Nazah about the siege of the city.
