Chapter 677: Change of Commander

The final result of Lamberg's order was that the Wind Army launched an indiscriminate attack on the Bessa, whether the other party was a civilian or a soldier, as long as it was a Besa, they would all be killed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before the war, Shangguan Xiu did not consider slaughtering Vasa City, after all, there were too many people in the city, more than a million people, all killed, too appalling, and the hatred under the brand was indelible for hundreds of years, but Lamberg's order made him have to do it.

What followed was an unprecedented massacre. In order to kill the people of Besa who had withdrawn from the city as soon as possible, the wind army used all the artillery, and hit the crowd of the people of Besa with firearms, stabbed with swords, and bombarded with artillery.

Outside the western part of Vasa City, there were devastation and corpses everywhere, there were stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the surface of the ground was completely invisible, the ground had been covered by corpses, and the blood that flowed out penetrated the ground more than a foot.

The people of Besa were slaughtered by an unknown number of people, and it was not until late in the evening that no one fled the city. However, the wind army did not enter the city immediately, and waited until dawn the next day for the wind army to pour into the city of Vasa.

The battle was fought here, but it was still not completely over, and the Besa garrison led by Frank still insisted on fighting in the city, and fought street battles with the wind army again, and a large number of defenders took off their military uniforms and armor, blended in with the people, and attacked the wind army from time to time.

This situation, if it only happens occasionally, the Wind Army can still bear it, but it happens too much, and the soldiers of the Wind Army can't stand it anymore, and people move the one outside the city into the city and launch an indiscriminate attack on the Besa people, to put it bluntly, it is a large-scale and comprehensive massacre of Vasa City. The ferryman was scared, Yan, and Brother Guan looked at Sister Zhang

When the Wind Army invaded the Archon's Palace, Frank had already committed suicide, he was dead, but the order he gave before his death made more than a million innocent people in Vasa City as his funeral goods.

This time, it took more than ten days for the Wind Army to massacre the city.

The Battle of Vasa City came to an end. In this battle, the Feng army defeated the 250,000 Besa defenders with less than 100,000 troops, although this was directly related to the lack of combat strength and limited weapons and ammunition of the Besa army, but the offensive deployment of the Feng army, and even the cooperation between the corps and the battalions, were perfect.

The classic of this battle lies in the fact that the traditional large army with the corps as the unit was greatly weakened, and the small armies with the corps and battalions as the unit broke through, infiltrated and cooperated with each other, and were greatly strengthened.

Of course, it is only the battle process of this battle, as well as the tactics and tactics used by both sides, as for the slaughter of the city by the Zhenjun army after the war, not to mention that it is not mentioned in the textbook, and there is no mention in the military history and literature. After all, this is not a glorious act, and the descendants of the Wind Country also need to put a fig leaf on the cruelty of their ancestors.

The battle of Vasa City, it can be said that the whole country of Bessa was shocked, in just a few days, 250,000 troops were wiped out, with a glorious history of thousands of years of Vasa City was destroyed, this time, Bessa people finally understood what is the pain of the skin, but also understood the fierceness of the wind army.

The report of the battle was transmitted to the palace of Besa in Goro late at night, and King Peter was sleeping, and he was woken up by his attendants.

The population of the entire Mikun region is only a few million, but the Feng army slaughtered more than a million people in the first battle, and King Peter can foresee that the Mikun region will be difficult to recover in the next tens or even hundreds of years, and the comprehensive strength of the city-state of Besa will also be greatly damaged because of the vitality of the Mikun region.

King Peter sent people overnight to urgently recruit Heracgus into the palace. Herakgus was only thirty years old, and his height of one meter eight was not tall among the Bessa, and his body was not very stout, but he was very well-proportioned, and there was no trace of fat on his body.

He was full of blonde hair, handsome, and bright-eyed, and when he entered the palace, he wore a short white coat with his arms open, and there was no other clothing in it, revealing his bronzed chest and abs, white trousers underneath, and short black leather boots under his feet.

Although Herakgus was not born majestic and majestic, he just gave people a sense of wildness, unruly, and went his own way. Whoever was summoned by the king and dared to enter the palace in rags was probably the only one in the entire kingdom of Besa.

King Peter squinted his eyes when he saw his outfit, but he didn't say anything, all along, Heracgus was like this, and no one paid attention to it. Peter didn't like him, of course, for a reason.

"Your Majesty!" Heracgus was the first to speak, bowing and saluting.

"Herakgs, have you heard about Vasa City?"

"Our army has been defeated, isn't it?" After the battle report of Vasa City was transmitted back to the capital, it was immediately delivered to Peter, and Herakgus did not see it, but he could guess it approximately.

He snorted and said, "As expected! I have long told Your Majesty that the Count of Lamberg, who has nothing to show for himself, can only talk about rhetoric, but is in fact a layman who leads the troops into battle. An army of more than 200,000 fell into the hands of a general who could fight, and that was more than 200,000 wolves, and in his hands, at best, more than 200,000 sheep. ”

King Peter stared at Heracgus without blinking, and wanted to go up and kick him twice, angry at his current cool words, and even more angry that he had really said that Lamberg was in Vasa City, and this battle would be lost.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said calmly: "Herakgus, now that there is no longer the strength to resist the wind army in the Mikun region, it will only take two months at most, and the wind army can occupy the entire Mikun region. ”

"No, Your Majesty, the Wind Army will not occupy the Mikun region. Heracgus shrugged and said in a determined tone.

Peter was stunned at first, and then he muttered, "The Wind Army still wants to enter the Tallinn region!"

"The Tallinn region is just a springboard for the Wind Army, and the place that the Wind Army really wants to attack is actually here!" As he spoke, Herakgus raised his hand and pointed to his feet. "Capital!"

"That's right. ”

Peter clenched his fists and said, "We must stop the advance of the wind army!" As he spoke, he stood up from his throne and walked up to Herakgs, and said: "It's a pity that when the country is in danger, my huge country of Besa is unavailable, Herakgus, now the heavy responsibility of resisting the wind army can only fall on your shoulders!"

Heracgus didn't shirk either, Peter was cheeky and asked him to come back, just to let him resist the wind army. He smiled indifferently and asked, "How many soldiers and horses can Your Majesty give me?"

Peter pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "The army of the capital is at your disposal!"

Herakgus snorted and laughed, and said, "I'm afraid that the army of the capital is not even 100,000 now!" Give me less than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and let me resist the 400,000 wind army, His Majesty really looks up to me!

Peter smiled bitterly, if he still had a surplus army in his hands, why did the kingdom of Besa fall to this? He was about to speak, when Heracgus said categorically: "Please remove Field Marshal Adams from the post of commander and let me take over the power of the army." ”

Bruce Adams was the supreme commander of the Besa army who fought in Douky, and Heracgus now proposed to change the commander and take over almost all the military power of the Besa country. Peter's body shook, his brows furrowed, and he whispered, "This ......"

"If Your Majesty trusts me and thinks that I can help Besa out of the predicament, please do what I want and hand over the military power to me, if Your Majesty does not trust me and refuses to give me the military power, then I can't do anything about the next war, and I better return to my Mitias. Herakgus said with a calm expression.

"However, changing commanders on the spot is a taboo in the army......"

"Is it true that until now, His Majesty has not intended to give up Dookie? If His Majesty holds on to Doukie any more and does not let go, Besa will be dragged to death by him. As he spoke, Heracgus turned and walked out, and without looking back, said: "I am at home, waiting for the decision of His Majesty!"

Looking at the back of Heracgus leaving, Peter's brow twisted into a pimple. The reason why he hesitated was not that he was worried that Heracgus would rebel after he got the military power, he didn't like Heracgus, but he knew him very well, and he didn't have any desire for power, otherwise he wouldn't have resigned from the government in the first place.

What worries him most is the ability of Herakgus. Heracgus's personal force, that is undoubted, the best in the world, in the Bessa army, is a veritable god of war, but he has never had the experience of commanding a million troops, compared with Marshal Adams, Peter can trust the latter's ability more.

He slowly sat back on the throne, rubbed his forehead, and pondered for more than half an hour, before finally he sighed, beckoned to an attendant, and said weakly, "Draft!"

Early the next morning, Herakgus received a decree from King Peter, and promoted him to the second commander of the kingdom of Bessa, taking over all the military power of the Besa army fighting in Duki.

As for Field Marshal Adams, he was temporarily demoted to the rank of third commander. (The first commander is a fictitious name, and has been held by successive kings of Besa.) ）

Peter was a very bold and courageous king, and it was dangerous to change the commander on the spot, and the change of marshal was still his least favorite Heracgus.

At the time of the country's survival, he could no longer make decisions according to his personal preferences, so he could only take the risk of using Herakgus and fight with all his might.

He thought that after promoting Herakgus to the second commander, he would lead his army into the Mikun region and fight to the death against the Wind Army, but in fact, it was not the case at all.

After Herakgus took office, he led 100,000 soldiers and horses who stayed in the capital, as well as 30,000 Mitish troops, that is, he did not enter the Mikun area and took the initiative to attack the wind army, nor did he garrison the Tallinn area to prepare a defensive line to resist the wind army, but led the army, bypassing the Tallinn area and the Mikun area, and directly entered Gabre.
