Chapter 1055: First battle

The first thousand and fifty-five chapters (seeking monthly ticket)
General Hasel led the main force of the new army, trailing behind the peacekeepers, and hurriedly caught up with Lorraine.
Every time a peacekeeping force captured a city, the original defenders of the Southern Army descended or fled, and the local order was completely chaotic. The peacekeeping forces don't care about this, they just send troops to maintain good order.
After the mission of the peacekeeping force is completed and the defense is moved, the new army will immediately take over the town. They will appoint temporary management officials there to establish a ruling order, and at the same time search for the remnants of the Southern Army.
In short, all he did was appeasement and security chores. There are not many opportunities to directly participate in combat, and progress is a period of time behind the peacekeeping forces.
This time I also heard the news that the peacekeeping forces had attacked Haddou’s lair, so I left what was at hand and quickly pursued the peacekeeping forces.
The invasion of Haru'a is of great political significance for the Almohad new army.
It symbolizes the phased victory of Queen Isabella over Hardu. Can greatly boost the confidence and morale of the imperial government.
Queen Isabella also gave Hassel a death order, even if he can't be the first team to invade Harua, she must be the first army to invade Harua.
That's why the main force of the new army rushed over and solved Lorraine's problem. Lorraine thought they would not arrive until half a month later.
General Hassel also had a correct attitude, and when he arrived at the camp, he first came to visit Lorraine.
The guard just went in to report, and in a few seconds, Lorraine walked out immediately and smiled happily: "General Hassel, you are finally here, but I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Seeing Lorraine's warm smile like the warm sun in winter, Hassel's first reaction was to shrink his neck, his back was chilled, his heart shook, and he cried out badly.
For Lorraine, Almohad knew him well.
As long as this master smiled, the hearts and livers of all Almohad people trembled.
When Hassel saw Lorraine still smiling so brilliantly, his heart became even more senseless, and he subconsciously squeezed his wallet through his clothes.
"Well, it's still there." Hassel felt a little more at ease.
But they are all veteran politicians, so they are careful not to show their faces.
Hassel first respectfully saluted, and then enthusiastically held Lorraine's hand, and laughed and said: "I'm late, handsome, you forgive me."
Lorraine kindly took Hassel's arm into the big tent, and said as he walked: "It's not too late, you are here just right. I have an important and difficult task to hand over to the new army."
Hassel's heart violently tightened, and secretly said: The weasel paid a New Year's greeting to the rooster, I knew it was nothing good, and regretted it. I knew I should linger in the back for a while. Alas, impatient.
Originally, Hassel didn't want to come to the front so quickly. It was not easy for the new army to gather up a family. As the commander-in-chief of the new army, he always wanted to preserve his strength.
Otherwise, if the army is exhausted, who would return him as a polished commander, this year, it is true that he has the army in his hand.
When the peacekeeping forces have knocked down Desai City, the best time is for their new army to accept it again.
But Hassel could not withstand the queen's order, nor could he withstand the urging of his officers and soldiers.
In the past, after the towns were captured, the bulk of the benefits always fell into the hands of the peacekeeping forces, and the peacekeeping forces always used extremely professional methods to clean up the local treasury.
Because their new army arrived late, they could only pick up the leftovers of others to eat, otherwise they would not be keen on going to the countryside to search.
When others eat meat, they drink thinly, and Xinjun has already complained about it.
But they still dare not compete with the peacekeepers, and they can't compete. People don't want them at all.
Dissatisfied opinions fell on the generals: it was their fear of death and delay that made the big guys unable to make money.
In order to stabilize the military spirit, Hassel also had to follow the peacekeeping force closely so that he could get some dry goods from the peacekeeping force.
But seeing Lorraine welcoming them so warmly, Hassel regretted it.
The more enthusiastic this master is, the more trouble the new army will have.
But Hassel had no choice. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you command, as long as we can, our new army will not refuse."
"Okay," Lorraine patted Hassel on the shoulder, and said, "Because of the emergency, a part of my troops must immediately reinforce him.
Therefore, the peacekeeping forces did not have enough power to take down Desai City. This task is left to your new army. "
Hassel was stunned. After a while, he looked at Lorraine cautiously, and asked suspiciously: "That's it?"
He gestured in the direction of Desai City, and said in surprise: "Just let our new army attack Desai City? You, have no other orders?"
Lorraine looked at Hassel in surprise, and said in surprise: "Otherwise, what do you think?"
Hassel breathed a sigh of relief and secretly said: I thought? I thought you wanted us to be bait, go south to seduce Hadu out.
Isn't it just siege? It's not that we have not attacked. We have all won several of the more difficult matches. As for you always put on such a big posture? Almost scared me to death~!
When I came here just now, Searle also saw that the walls of Desai have been destroyed by artillery fire and no longer pose a threat. The defenders in the city are believed to be less than 20,000, so it will not be difficult to take it down.
The hanging mental arithmetic has fallen to the bottom, Hassel smiled relaxedly, and said loudly: "No problem, our new army promises to complete the task. Please wait and see."
Lorraine laughed and said: "I know that the new army friends are still reliable at the critical moment."
The generals around followed hehe and laughed, but they panicked with their smiles.
Hassel looked at their ill-intentioned smiles, his heart tightened again after he had just been relieved, and he secretly said: Oops, it fell into the pit again, what the is there in the game?
The next moment Lorraine confirmed his worry, only listening to Lorraine said plainly: "Of course, this Desai City is also a bit different."
Hassell curled his lips and secretly said: I knew it, nothing good.
Frozenly said: "What's the difference."
Lorraine placed a map in front of Hassel, clicked on the cobweb-like trenches on the map, and said: "The enemy has dug dense trenches under the city, which is no small trouble for the attacker."
"Trenches?" Hassel said in a puzzled voice: I have seen it, but does it matter?
"Just, trenches?" Hassel asked carefully: "Desai...no other problems?
Lorraine nodded and said, "Because of the trenches, our superior firepower is difficult to use. All the support you get is limited."
Hassel couldn't laugh or cry, and he felt more and more elusive about what the uncle was doing.
Xindao: This will not fight without artillery? Our Almohad siege is not hard. It's just a little trench, it's a bit more troublesome, with more casualties, and it's not invincible.
To them, Emperor Almohad said that compared with ruling the entire south, this casualty counted as nothing.
This uncle can't even afford this casualty, right? It doesn't matter if you can't afford it, our new army doesn't care.
Hassel smiled calmly and said: "Please don't worry, your lord, it's just a little bit of trench. Our new army doesn't take it to heart."
The generals around Hassel said that were a little bit silly.
The generals knew what was going on, but the soldiers didn't know.
When the new army came up with a word, they "don't take it to heart." Their peacekeeping forces usually claim to be masters, but they are too late to take action after playing a Desai, which inevitably destroys the prestige of their peacekeeping forces.
Hassel glanced at the generals triumphantly, and said in his heart: Let you know, our new army is not soft-footed shrimp.
"Actually," Hassel was happy enough, and then continued: "Our Queen also hopes that Haru'a Province will be the first to be entered by our new army."
Lorraine nodded and said: "Okay, then I will follow Her Majesty's opinion. Let the new army take the lead."
At the same time, I secretly said in my heart: just right, I have no excuse for garrisoning troops, Queen Isabella is really empathetic.
Hassel suffocated and almost vomited blood, and he cursed secretly in his heart: It was you who begged us to fight, how come we changed the front and turned into us begging for abuse.
Hassel could only hold his breath, smiled and said, "Master Xie is perfect."
"Of course," Lorraine said, "We will still provide the support that should be provided. Please rest assured."
Hassel nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, I have a merciless request."
"You said."
Hassel pondered his tone and said: "Once Desai City is taken, can we...were it alone?"
Lorraine had some doubts, and murmured: "Occupy alone? Is it necessary?"
Everyone is a city created by the coalition forces, and the peacekeeping forces have never refused the entry of new troops. Although the city of Desai is small, it is always useful to the peacekeeping forces.
Hassel said slowly: "Well, my lord, if you want to let the brothers die, you always have to give some rewards."
"Understood," Lorraine suddenly realized.
The new army guys want to eat alone. Although Hassel dared not engage in massacre, but after three days of searching in the city, Hassel was still able to call the shots.
Lorraine did not hesitate. He wanted the donkey to pull the grass to feed the donkey first. The Almohad's good or bad people mattered to him, Lorraine nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you. I'll give the new army, three... …No, five days."
Hassel smiled satisfied: "Enough."
He didn't expect that with Lord Lorraine's temper, he would let go of these benefits lightly, which was not in line with the consistent glorious image of his old man in the hearts of Almohad.
After Hassel led the mission and returned to the new army camp, it didn't take long for the new army team to suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers, making the surrounding peacekeeping forces very puzzled.
Of course, the new army explained that they could be the first to attack Hadu's lair, so the morale of the officers and soldiers was high.
But soon everyone knew that the new army was excited because it was able to eat alone this time and was able to fish a handful.
In order for the first battle to attack Hadu's lair to be fought and to gain the reputation of the new army, Hassel even let out the words and did not need to surrender to his father.
After a day of preparation, early the next morning, between the dawn and mist, 30,000 soldiers of the New Army lined up neatly in front of the formation, waiting for the order to attack.
After the fog dissipated, the artillery of the peacekeeping force fired first, starting from the outer trenches, and extending the firepower to the walls of Desai.
Smoke and dust billowed in the entire area where the artillery bombed, but the effect of the bombardment was uncertain.
Then Hassel led him, and tens of thousands of soldiers shouted in unison, rushing towards Desai City from both sides.
But until then, the city of Desai was already quiet, no figures were visible on the top of the city, and there was silence in the trenches.
It seems that the city is a dead place for no one.
The new army quickly approached the trench, and when they came to the front, there was no southern army in the trench.
They dropped the ladder, jumped into the trench, and ran in the direction of Desai City.
Soon, tens of thousands of people disappeared into the trench, as if they had evaporated out of thin air.
Lorraine and the peacekeepers were watching the battle from the rear, but until this time, there was no sound of fighting from the front.
In the trench ahead, the soldiers of the New Army were eagerly advancing cautiously with cats pressed against their waists.
This maze is really weird.
When they first came in, they circulated cautiously a few times, but they didn't notice the shadow of an enemy, and all they encountered were their own people.
The new army relaxed its vigilance, moved on, and then began to encounter traps.
For example, while walking, suddenly the soles of the feet were empty, and a large pit appeared under the feet. The bottom of the pit was densely inserted with sharpened wooden stakes. A few soldiers of the new army were caught off guard.
Others had to make detours, but from time to time a few crossbow arrows flew from all around and shot a few soldiers.
The soldiers chased along the direction where the crossbow arrows flew in angrily, but no one was found.
Just being beaten and not fighting back, and even the enemy could not be found, this made the new army irritated, yelling in a hurry, and turning around in the trenches.
Finally heard voices around the corner, the soldiers rushed forward excitedly, seeing that they were still theirs, so there was no accidental injury.
Many troops turned a few times in the trenches and lost their way.
The trenches of the Southern Army were not neatly dug, but slanted lines and bends everywhere. Some even deliberately turned several turns, and some were simply dead ends.
In this way, after two toss, the people inside are lost.
They had to climb out to identify the location of Desai City before moving on.
Hassel watching the battle in the rear was also anxious. In addition to the occasional banner protruding from the trench, Hassel also had a dark eye on the battlefield.
Don't know where your troops are? In this situation, how to talk about command, even if there is a high level of command art, you can only do it in a hurry at this time.
Just when the calm rear generals couldn't help it, suddenly there was a cry of killing from the front.
Hassel lifted up his spirits and waved his fist, saying: "Okay, just get the enemy."
Hassel also pressed a 10,000 reserve team in his hand, confident that with his strength, it would be no problem to win the defender of Desai.
The soldiers of the new army on the battlefield were also refreshed when they heard the sound of killing, and quickly gathered in the direction of the sound.
But the strange thing is that no matter how they run, they always wander in the trenches near the sound of fighting, unable to find a place to fight.
Some soldiers could even hear that the battle was happening on the other side of the earth wall, and they were anxious but could not find their way.
"Damn it, you can't hit a ghost." The impatient New Army soldier cursed loudly.
"Don't talk nonsense, I heard my grandmother say that the more you hit a ghost, the less you can't say ghost words. When you say a ghost, you will come out." The person next to her whispered with an uneasy expression.
Now they all suspected that this was some kind of magic by the southern army, maybe there was a devil in it.
"I heard that when Hardu was born, his soul was sold to the devil," a gossiping soldier stared at the front carefully, while muttering: "He has been winning battles for decades, but the devil is helping him. ."
The soldier next to him swallowed his mouth at hearing, and said timidly: "It is possible that he is not dead by himself, and he will defeat whoever he is defeated."
"Yes," the soldier just now said triumphantly: "I heard that the devil will protect him from the battle, so he will cut the captured prisoners and give them to the devil."
The soldiers around shrank their necks in shock. These little-cultured country boys believe in gods and gods.
After all, they have listened to the sermons of the priest from the Holy See since they were young, and they grew up in the story of the bright fighting against the devil.
The soldier at the back disagreed, and said loudly: "It's not necessarily, that Lorraine, he won't be defeated."
"Hush..." The gossiping soldier silenced him, looked at them solemnly, and whispered: "Don't talk nonsense, be careful of your upper body, I tell you, that Lorraine, he also gave his soul to sold."
"Impossible, my wife is our Pope, the Son of God."
"Hey~! Don't believe it, but that kid in Lorraine didn't sell the flexibility to the devil, but to the Dragon God. There is a dragon behind them, so awesome~!"
"Hi...long~!"
It is a creature more terrifying than the devil. After all, the devil has never been seen before, but the figure of the dragon clan occasionally appears on the mainland. It is said that they like to eat people when they get angry, and they eat them raw.
The officer in front turned his head impatiently and yelled: "Your mother, you shit, keep up. The commander can say, advanced city's rewards."
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in front of the passage, and two crossbow arrows shot out. In everyone's surprised eyes, the crossbow arrows shot on the officer's back.
The officer who was still training fell to the ground with a grunt.
The soldier in the front row yelled: "Chasing~!"
Raised the weapon and rushed up.
The soldiers screamed and rushed around the corner, only to find that the end of the passage was a dead end.
The soldiers looked at each other. Some of them were already holding the idols, with one hand drawn a cross on their chest, and praying in their mouths.
"This is too evil."
"Ghost, it's really a ghost."
"I don't believe in this evil." A strong soldier said angrily, threw his hat away, and slashed his sword towards the surrounding walls.
Others suddenly realized that they had to learn from each other, and followed by knocking on the earth wall around them.
"Found it~!" someone exclaimed excitedly, splitting a disguised wooden door a few times. The wooden door is only half a person high with clay glued on it, so it is easy to let it go without looking closely.
The soldiers stepped up with their swords and split the wooden door twice. Without thinking about it, the anxious soldier got in with a cat.
He crawled through a few feet of earth hole, and as soon as he got out of his head, he happened to face a southern soldier.
Both were dumbfounded, and then screamed at the same time.
The soldiers of the Southern Army raised their weapons and chopped them down. The soldiers of the New Army shrank their necks and drilled back, screaming, "The Southern Army puppies are next door."
The soldiers of the new army looked at the small hole under their feet and looked at the high wall~EbookFREE.me~ decisively shouted: "Over the wall."
...
The time had passed from morning to noon, and Hassel felt more and more anxious. For so long, the soldiers of the new army were still spinning in the trenches.
As the commander, he didn't understand the situation of the war, and the returning soldier didn't know how to explain their position. He could only point in a direction and said in general: "Probably at that position."
The troops of the new army have been completely chaotic. The different brigade, squadron, and squadrons are scattered and mixed.
Soldiers cannot find their officers, officers cannot find their superiors.
The superior cannot command the subordinate.
Everyone blindly searches for their own people and blindly searches for the enemy.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Hassel looked at the sky and hesitated again and again, finally sighed helplessly, waved his hand and said: "Send orders, withdraw troops."
