Chapter 113: Anti-encirclement and suppression

(Let's count the votes!Thank you for your support!)

After Hans ordered the encirclement and suppression of the resistance in the southwestern provinces, the 3rd Division of the Left Army became the vanguard. According to the intelligence, the rebel forces were more active in Daxingshan, so Kleiman, the commander of the third division, led 30,000 men and quickly entered the four towns of Luowei, Wusu, Xite, and Tianfeng west of Priseli City, and surrounded Daxingshan.

Kleiman, knowing that the rebels in the southwest were going to be encircled, took the initiative to ask for his life. Because his younger brother was the officer who was poisoned with a toothpick while picking his teeth. This incident made him both sad and humiliated.

"Only the blood of the Huoyun people can wash away the shame they brought me!"

With this in mind, Kleiman carried out a bloody purge of four small towns. Many of the town's young men were executed by him for collaborating with the enemy, or sent to prison. In order to deter the populace, before each killing, Kleiman would order all the people in the town to gather and watch. At this time, in the town of Lowe, which is closest to Daxing Mountain, such a scene is being staged.

Sean, who had been an ordinary hunter in the town of Lowe, was stripped of his shirt and hung high on a wooden post in the center of the town. Under the wooden pillars, there was a large pile of firewood and hay. Around, there are rows of Asman soldiers, and on the outer layer, the people of the town who have been gathered by the Asman army. The Asmans retrieved several knives and bows from Sean's home and ordered him to be burned alive on charges of fornicating with the Resistance.

"I beg you, I beg you to spare my son, he is not guilty!" a gray-haired old woman, crying and trying to rush up, was stopped by several Asman soldiers.

"Mother, don't beg them, they're all brutes!" Sean struggled and shouted at the old woman.

"Show me everything clearly, this is the end of collusion with the Resistance! Most of the Roman Province has been occupied by the Asman Empire, if you want to live, just be honest with me!"

An officer stood in front of the crowd and shouted a loud reprimand.

"Execution!" he gave the order to the soldiers holding torches by the wooden pillars.

The soldier threw the torch out, and soon ignited the hay and strung a high flame.

"Don't!" cried the old woman sadly, biting down on the hand of the soldier in front of her. The soldier was in pain, let go of her grip, and she staggered forward. Another Asman soldier came up to her and kicked her to the ground, never to get up again.

"Child, my mother is here to accompany you. Blood was dripping from the corners of the old woman's mouth, and she struggled forward.

"Mother!" looked at his mother, who was trying to get closer to him, tears clouded Sean's eyes.

"Brother Charlie, I regret not listening to you to join the army......" Not long ago, Charlie took a fancy to his agile skills and superb archery skills, and wanted him to go to the third regiment. But the filial Sean couldn't rest assured of his elderly mother and rejected Charlie. Before leaving, Charlie said to him: "The country is the country, the country is gone, how can there be a home?"

Sean died, and his mother also climbed into the fire and went away with her son. But Sean's words before he died were deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people of the town: "Instead of being an animal to be slaughtered under the enemy's butcher's knife, it is better to fight with them to break the net." ”

In the face of powerful invaders, the fear of death and the love of their own lives made many people in the empire choose silence, obedience and even betrayal. However, once life becomes completely uncertain, most people will choose to fight bravely, even if they will eventually die at the hands of the enemy.

Kleiman still held the butcher's knife high, tasting the blood of the people in the southwest of the Roman Province, and venting the anger in his heart. He was completely unaware that his reckless actions, his brutal repression, had pushed the Asman army into the crater. Many years later, when General Hans recalled his military career, he had to admit that using the "butcher" to encircle and suppress the resistance of Huoyun was the biggest mistake he made at that time, and it also caused him to suffer the biggest defeat of his life.

On the Daxing Mountain, the officers and men of the Third Regiment were carrying out pre-battle preparations. Shui Ling'er, Long Hu and Nalun gathered three more to discuss the plan to deal with the enemy.

"Water girl, the enemy has now occupied the four towns northwest of Daxing Mountain, and has raised his butcher's knife against the people, and should soon organize a large army into the mountain. We can't afford to watch the people suffer, can we? The soldiers are now in high morale and are waiting for battle orders!"

In recent days, Charlie and Hanno's recruitment has been exceptionally smooth, and in just a few days, nearly 1,000 recruits have entered the Third Regiment. Most of these recruits were people from the surrounding areas of the four towns, who had taken refuge in the mountains in order to escape the enemy's butcher's knives.

"The current situation is developing as we expected. The price paid by the people is too great for us to sit idly by. The brutality of the enemy was somewhat unexpected to us, but it was also a good thing, because in this way, the resistance of the people would be more intense. I think the most important thing now is that we have to fight a beautiful battle, and then show the flag, climb high and shout, and completely ignite the fighting spirit of the people! I wonder if you two have any good suggestions?"

Shui Ling'er is also very sympathetic to the people's suffering, because the cruelty of the enemy is something she did not expect. But she firmly remembered Liuyun's words: Only blood can pierce the numb heart and cleanse the soul of people.

"The nearly 1,000 new recruits have not formed combat effectiveness. Their only advantage is their familiarity with the terrain of the mountains. I think that can be put to good use. According to information provided by Heda, there is a mountain road to the southwest of Daxing Mountain that leads to the town of Sit. Narondo said, pointing to the map.

"Do you mean to lure the enemy into the mountains with 1,000 new soldiers, and the main force of the three regiments will attack the town of Sit along the mountain road? But there are 6,000 troops of the enemy in Sit, and I am afraid that if I bite down on this bite, I will break my teeth. Long Yun looked at the map intently and shook his head.

"Brother Long, don't worry, let Brother Nalundo finish. Shui Ling'er smiled.

"You see, this is Tianfeng Town, and there are only two thousand garrisons. The town was located behind the towns of Set, Usu and Lovey, and the enemy did not drop heavy troops. At the same time, the town was close to the Pecos River, across the river from the Imperial Sixth Army. As soon as the town was lost, the Sixth Army could easily erect a pontoon bridge and speed into the western part of the Roman province. ”

"Oh, you mean, just hit this town?" Long Yun seemed to understand, and hurriedly said, "Well, two thousand people, we may be able to eat." ”

"Deputy Long, let me finish first. Seeing Long Yun's anxious appearance, Nalendo smiled and said, "If we attack this town directly, it will not do us any good, and the enemy will be able to take it back in a flash." My plan was to use 1,000 new troops, disguised as the main force of the three regiments, to make a hasty retreat after the enemy launched an attack on Daxing Mountain, and maneuver to the depths of Daxing Mountain, taking advantage of the skillful terrain to maneuver with the enemy. Brother Long Yun led 1,000 officers and soldiers of the three regiments to intersperse in the east of Tianfeng Town, creating the illusion that the defenders of Tianfeng Town were pressing the border. Tianfeng is only a few dozen miles away from the town of Sit, and the defenders of Sit will inevitably divide their troops to help. I led the Black Hawk Independent Battalion to set up an ambush on the road from Seth to Tianfeng Town to destroy this enemy. ”

"Black Eagle hasn't been training for a long time, only a few hundred people, can it be done?" Long Yun asked suspiciously.

"Don't forget, Miss Scarlet Tears, you have brought us four high-level magicians, and it should be enough to deal with one or two thousand people. ”

"The main purpose of this battle is to eliminate this slowing army?

Nalendo shook his head: "Not only to send reinforcements, after eliminating the reinforcements, I will quickly approach you, and at the same time launch a surprise attack on Tianfeng Town, and take down the two thousand defenders in the town." ”

"Why, the people around the regiment commander have so many twists and turns in their stomachs?" After listening to Narondo's twists and turns, Long Yun smiled bitterly, "However, in this case, our base in Daxingshan may not be able to be saved." ”

"I agree with Nalendo's plan, a thousand new soldiers, and Monsoon and I will be in charge of pinning down the enemy in the Great Mountains. The two eldest brothers, please remember that we are now in the occupied area, and our strength is very weak, so we should not care about the gains and losses of one city or one town, let alone confront the enemy. We have the support of the people, and wherever we go, we are the foundation. The third regiment must constantly maneuver, avoid the enemy's main forces, eat away at the enemy's living forces, and gradually strengthen itself. After this battle, the three regiments directly displayed the banner of the Iron Army, lit a lamp for the confused and desperate people of the empire, and attracted more resistance forces to join us!"
