Chapter 286 An Unexpected Victory
Carolinian deserved his misfortune. This guy who could only command a thousand men in combat now actually commanded an army of hundreds of thousands. It goes without saying how chaotic this army would become.
At this time, Carolin, who was originally living more than ten miles behind the army, was in a viscount's castle. He learned that some of the troops in the army camp were from the commanders of the kingdom's army. There was a dispute over supplies, so he rushed to the army camp to mediate. contradiction.
Who would have imagined that they would run into the [-] gods of death led by Qin Tu of the Changsheng camp of the Song Dynasty who came to attack the camp of the Holy Roman Empire overnight!
When Qin Tu led the Changsheng Camp with 7 people, they quietly rushed outside the camp of the Holy Roman Empire built on a plain, and saw the environment of the camp.
Qin Tu couldn't help but sigh. Is the commander of these people stupid?
I led people into your inland last time, knowing that we have a large number of cavalry, you still dare to choose to camp on the plain, and you just set up a few simple refusal horses outside and it's over.
Why don’t you take our Song Dynasty Changsheng Battalion Cavalry seriously?
He waved and ordered the [-] cavalry to dismount and hide, feed the horses some fodder and drink water, and the infantry rested on the spot and ate some marching rations to replenish their strength.
Gather a few generals to yourself, and issue the tasks of their various ministries after the war.
Qin Tu ordered the attack to start an hour later. At that time, the scout brigade would sneak up and kill all the enemy's bright and dark whistle.
The [-] infantry troops assisted the [-] Vulcan troops operating the trebuchets, transporting the trebuchets to the outside of the enemy's camp and quickly assembling them, and quietly removed the horses surrounding the enemy's camp.
When the attack begins, he will lead [-] cavalry behind the trebuchet to prepare for a general attack.
After the trebuchet fired ten rounds of cast-iron bombs in succession, he immediately led [-] cavalry troops into the enemy camp and killed the enemy troops who were awakened from their sleep and ran around in panic.
The [-] infantry rushed into the enemy's camp to take over the prisoners of war a quarter of an hour after the [-] cavalry rushed into the enemy's camp.
Qin Tu specifically told the leading generals of the [-] infantry to enter the camp only after he had led the [-] cavalry to attack the camp for a quarter of an hour.
Because the attack was at night, the enemy army had a large number of survivors at the beginning. At that time, the cavalry had no time to distinguish between enemy and friend, and would kill all infantry in sight.
Only after the [-] cavalry hacked and killed for a quarter of an hour, all the enemy troops who dared to resist were killed, and the timid enemy troops hid or surrendered. Enemy is friend.
The generals were ordered to return to their respective armies and begin to convey military orders and make final preparations for the subsequent attack.
Time passed in the orderly preparations of the Changsheng Battalion army, and soon came the dawn of the attack.
The army of the Holy Roman Empire was not monolithic. It originally had the imperial god of war, Lao Shalong, as its marshal, and he could steadily suppress the military commanders of several kingdoms under the empire.
But now because of Sharon's departure, the high-ranking generals in command of their armies in the following kingdoms don't take this brat Carolin seriously at all.
Although they didn't like each other, they had surprisingly consistent views on Carolin, the acting marshal.
That is, a rookie like Carolin doesn't even have the qualifications to be his own subordinate. He can be the acting marshal of the empire simply because he is the nephew of King Frederick I of the empire.
If Lun is really capable, this brat is not even worthy of carrying his own shoes.
They can command the armies of their respective kingdoms, which one is not experienced in many battles and has made outstanding achievements.
Today, it was because the leading figures of these kingdoms were quarreling over whose army should receive priority for supplies. The imperial army camp was in a state of chaos, and the soldiers below even began to hate each other.
Carolin received a report from his subordinates that the commanders of several kingdoms in the imperial army camp had quarreled over who could give priority to supplies, and the quarrel was very violent, and there were even signs of drawing swords at each other.
He just came from the temporary castle ten miles away to mediate the conflict among these old guys.
Carolinian still knew very well that he did not have much prestige among these people, and it was not enough to make these people completely obey him, so when he came, he brought a small box of fine wine brought from the imperial capital.
He knew that all of these guys were addicted to alcohol, and they might not listen to what he said now, but with these fine wines, these drunkards would definitely temporarily forget their previous unhappiness and listen to him to mediate for the sake of these fine wines.
Just as Carolin guessed, when these people saw the fine wine Carolin brought, the atmosphere immediately became much more harmonious, and they accepted Carolin's mediation in good spirits.
These guys and Caroline drank until late at night, and drank up the dozen or so bottles of fine wine he brought. They were all drunk before being sent back to their respective tents by the guards to rest.
Because the commanders of the armies of these kingdoms were not convinced by anyone, and even had some personal grievances with each other, the current Caroline could not convince them like old Sharon.
So this huge imperial military camp looks very strange. It looks like a huge military camp. In fact, this military camp is divided into four parts by several kingdom armies, and they are clearly separated from each other.
When the attack time came, the soldiers of the [-] elite scout battalion first divided into several groups and quietly moved towards the four-piece camp of the Holy Roman Empire camp.
These two thousand scouts from the Ever Victory Battalion are all elite soldiers selected from the Ever Victory Battalion over the years, and they have undergone rigorous training before they can really enter the Scout Battalion and become qualified scouts.
In addition, the Changsheng Battalion has followed Xiao Qi to fight everywhere these years. The elite scouts of these scout battalions have already experienced hundreds of battles. Touching the enemy's sentry post to catch the enemy's scouts is as proficient as eating and drinking.
In less than a quarter of an hour, all the clear and dark sentries of the Holy Roman Empire, which were originally very lax, were quietly resolved by the two thousand scouts from the Ever Victorious Battalion.
Then [-] infantry troops helped the [-] Vulcan army, quickly pulled the trebuchet to the edge of the Holy Empire barracks, began to quickly assemble the trebuchet, and carried a large number of cast iron bombs.
As one hundred trebuchets were quickly assembled, the leader of the Vulcan Army waved to the people in the scout battalion, signaling that it was okay to let them withdraw.
The scouts of the Ever Victorious Battalion, who were on guard in the Holy Roman Empire barracks, killed the unexpected enemy soldiers, and prevented the outside situation from being discovered, saw the signal outside, and quickly withdrew from the enemy camp with gestures.
The soldiers of the scout battalion had just withdrawn from the enemy's camp, and the [-] infantry retreated behind the [-] cavalry who were already in full swing.
The commander of the Vulcan Army gave the order to start the attack.
Immediately, hundreds of black shadows braving sparks flew into the sky like meteors, flying towards the camps of the Holy Roman Empire.
Immediately afterwards, in the originally quiet military camp of the Holy Roman Empire, "Boom", "Boom", and "Boom" continued to explode, and the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire who were awakened by the loud noise in their sleep were in a mess.
Shouts, the screams of soldiers hit by fragments of cast iron bombs rang out.
Before the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire, who had just been awakened, recovered from their dreams, the second wave of cast iron bombs fell again.
There was another series of explosions and roars. At this time, more and more soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire ran out of their sleeping tents.
Immediately afterwards, the third wave of cast iron bombs was thrown out again, exploding among the soldiers of the Holy Fallen Empire who had just ran out and gathered together.
This time someone finally reacted and shouted: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The soldiers, who were mostly topless and only wearing pajama pants, started running into the military tents again, looking for their weapons.
However, because these guys were suddenly awakened in their sleep, most of their brains were still in a state of rest. Although they heard the shouts of enemy attacks, it was completely an instinctive reaction to turn around and go to the camp to find weapons.
They didn't even know if they entered their own camp, they just ran towards the nearest camp, broke in and searched for weapons.
Something unexpected happened!
The people inside the tents heard the shout of 'enemy attack', and as soon as they got their weapons in their hands, they saw a few shirtless men rushing in from outside, looking for weapons, and some even snatched them from others.
With the warning of 'enemy attack' just now, I suddenly saw someone rushing in to snatch my weapon, and the action happened naturally.
Soon the sound of swords and guns colliding came from the tents, as well as screams one after another.
After many soldiers in the tent teamed up to kill the intruders, they came out of the tent with weapons. They heard fighting and screaming from nearby tents, and they were even more sure that the enemy had entered.
These soldiers, whose brains were still down, started brandishing knives and guns at the strange faces running in front of them, hacking and killing the so-called intruders!
After the first wave of knives and guns at unfamiliar faces beside them was seen by others, it quickly caused a chain reaction, and those who knew them thought they were attacking the enemy.
Those who don't know them think they are the protagonists of the so-called "enemy attack". Some people start to attack them, and some people start to help them. It didn't take long for this camp of 10,000 + nearly 20 soldiers to become a place where there are battles everywhere. battlefield.
The ten rounds of cast iron bombs attacked very quickly. Just after ten rounds of cast iron bombs attacked, Qin Tu waved his hand to stop the cavalry behind him who were about to charge.
And ordered the Vulcan army to extinguish the torches, just watching the soldiers of the Roman Empire fighting each other in the dark.
These soldiers in the camp of the Holy Roman Empire were put together from several kingdoms, not to mention knowing each other, and even meeting each other for the first time.
This chaos quickly turned into a massive howling camp!
Soldiers from several kingdoms of the Holy Roman Empire who did not know each other began to attack each other in a state of sleepwalking, and then their comrades and the opponent's people joined in.
And the few commanders who were able to stop this chaos, together with Carolin, were all drunk and unconscious, and had no idea what was going on outside, let alone stop it.
The chaos among the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire lasted for nearly an hour. During the period, some people found something wrong and stopped everyone to stop, but the soldiers who were already red-eyed would not listen to what he shouted.
In the end, even a few officers who went up to stop them were hacked to death, and the entire military camp of the Holy Roman Empire was completely turned into a purgatory on earth. There were naked corpses everywhere, and the blood gradually converged into small streams, flowing towards the Flow in low-lying places.
The soldiers from various kingdoms, who had been fighting for a long time and were exhausted, gradually woke up from the violent state of killing everyone they saw, and the sounds of fighting everywhere gradually became quieter.
Qin Tu saw that the Xiao Battalion in the enemy's army camp was about to stop, so he raised the sword in his hand and waved it. He took the lead in urging his horse to rush towards the soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire who were trying to distinguish whether the person opposite was an enemy or a friend.
As soon as the [-] cavalry from the Changsheng Battalion who had watched a big show rushed into the enemy camp, the chaos in the Holy Roman Empire military camp ended without any suspense.
The soldiers from various kingdoms who had been fighting each other in a violent state for nearly an hour were covered in wounds even if they were alive. They were so exhausted that they could hardly hold the weapons in their hands and could only be slaughtered.
The [-] victorious battalion cavalry showed no mercy to these guys who were merciless in attacking their own people. Each war horse quickly shuttled through the camp of the Holy Roman Empire, and heads flew into the sky.
Until dawn, in the Holy Roman Empire barracks, the soldiers outside the big tent were almost killed.
Only a few thousand recruits who quickly threw away their weapons and hid aside and surrendered, and less than [-] recruits who had been looking for a place to hide from the beginning because of their timidity were captured alive.
Of the remaining more than [-] people, half died in the cannibalism in the Midnight Xiao camp, and half were beheaded by the cavalry of the Changsheng camp.
When the [-] Changsheng Battalion infantry came in to tie up the prisoners, they cursed angrily and complained about such a big battle, but in the end, they only took a bunch of prisoners!
The most tragic figure in this battle is none other than Caroline, because his marshal's tent is too conspicuous, and there are many guards around the tent.
Therefore, his big tent became the key target of the Vulcan army. At least three cast iron bombs hit the big tent, and a cast iron bomb flew into the big tent and exploded. The incumbent Reichsmarshal exploded into a sieve.
The other four commanders of the kingdom's army were all alive, and even when they were tied up and taken away by the soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion, two of them were still drunk and unconscious.
Qin Tu watched as the soldiers under his command loaded these warriors, who were known as the outstanding heroes of the Holy Roman Empire, into the cart where they were imprisoned.
I can't help but want to go back and ask my son-in-law, how can such an army and generals be the top combat power in this land in your mouth?
With their scumbag combat effectiveness, they are not even worthy of lifting the shoes of those golden men who were beaten by us.
Such a thing will be the strongest force to control this place?
But thinking about Byzantium, which has also become one of the two overlords in this land, was also beaten by his Changsheng camp a few days ago and fled after hearing the news, so he no longer doubts in his heart.
Maybe the guy here is really like what the son-in-law said, he just came down from the tree not long ago!
