Chapter 103: Three counties were defeated in a row, and Changan showed off its power outside the territory!
The night sinks like water.
Because it was a cloudy day, the last ray of moonlight shyly hid in the clouds.
You can't see your fingers in the wilderness.
It was in this dark and dense night that four unfinished warships were dragged out of the dock by four octopus monsters.
Out of the dock.
Two of the battleships were dragged by octopus monsters and sailed upstream along the Mero River, heading straight for Joaquin County.
It contained soldiers from the Huben Brigade.
The other two warships carried the Tiger Brigade soldiers. They first went to sea, then came to the mouth of the Honey River, and also went upstream along the Honey River.
Head straight to Macomb County.
About an hour and a half later, four warships arrived at their destination one after another.
It took another hour.
The octopus monsters sent the cavalry soldiers and horses ashore one by one, completing the first step of the surprise attack.
At the same time.
The Leopard Tao Brigade, which is still resting at the border between Graywater County and Denton County, has also entered combat mode.
The target is Denton County.
………
The banks of the Merlo River.
The border area between Joaquin County and Denton County.
"Seize the time to rest and launch the attack on time at six o'clock in the morning!" Yue Yun, the commander of the Huben Brigade, ordered.
"Ugh~~~"
Yue Yun's response was the sound of vomiting one after another.
Even after two days of adaptability training, this unique way of riding a boat still made the soldiers of the Huben Brigade feel dizzy.
My stomach felt like it was churning.
Not only the people, but also the precious war horses seemed a little lethargic.
The soldiers were vomiting and felt sorry for their horses. They grabbed the concentrated feed sent with the battleship and fed it to their beloved horses so that their beloved horses could recover as soon as possible.
Soldiers can rest and recuperate, but generals cannot.
Yue Yun gathered all five battalion commanders and twenty-five team commanders of the Huben Brigade together. In a temporary tent, with the help of weak candlelight, he completed the final mission against the map of Joaquin County carefully drawn by the Military Intelligence Department.
Deployment confirmation.
Thanks to the gathering of coalition forces, the mainstream territories in Joaquin County have entered the village stage.
And based on the area of Joaquin County.
Theoretically, it can accommodate more than 300 village-level territories.
In fact, due to territorial annexation, there are approximately 150 village-level territories and five township-level territories.
In order to defeat Joaquin County in the shortest possible time, without giving the enemy a chance to reinforce or give the Joaquin County lords a chance to "transfer assets," it was necessary to divide the troops.
There are five cavalry battalions, each responsible for an area.
Each cavalry battalion will be divided into five cavalry teams, and each cavalry team will be divided into several cavalry squads until the attack tasks for every territory in Joaquin County are specifically implemented.
With the power of heavy cavalry.
Facing a village-level territory, only sending up to ten heavy cavalry is enough to capture the lord's mansion and smash the territory's stone monument within ten minutes.
In case of raid.
Even five heavy cavalry can complete the mission.
With this confidence, before the Tiger Brigade set off, Brigade Commander Yue Yun could issue a military order to Lord Tang Jing, ensuring that the entire Joaquin County would be wiped out within two hours.
This undoubtedly tests the command and dispatching abilities of the generals.
Because once the attack starts, it cannot be stopped, and it will never be smooth sailing and develop exactly in the direction they preset.
All kinds of foreseeable and unforeseen accidents are bound to happen.
This requires military commanders to adapt accordingly.
"The general principle is to capture the big ones and let go the small ones, with the highest priority being to destroy the territory stone monument. There is no need to pursue maximum damage, and there is no need to worry about prisoners of war."
"We have only one mission - to wipe out Joaquin County as quickly as possible." Yue Yun warned.
At the same time that the Tiger Brigade and the Tiger Brigade were attacking, the First Division and the Second Division were already gathering in Chang'an City to be on standby, responsible for the subsequent mopping up and finishing work.
After that.
There are also county officials in Joaquin County and Macomb County, who are responsible for appeasing the refugees and rebuilding their homes.
………
One hour later.
On the eastern horizon, a trace of skylight has risen.
According to the division of mission areas, with the help of weak skylight, the first battalion in charge of the northwest area set off first, followed by the second battalion, third battalion, and fourth battalion.
The fifth battalion is responsible for the southeastern area, just stay where you are.
The soldiers led their horses and carried their bags on their backs, walking through the wilderness like ghosts at night.
Quietly.
At about five o'clock in the morning, each battalion had already entered its respective fighting positions.
Then continue to divide the troops.
After the battalion made its final mission deployment confirmation, the five teams were leading their respective troops to set off, and were continuously divided into cavalry squads of five to twenty people along the way.
Quietly.
Without the lord of Joaquin County noticing, he set up a dragnet.
After arriving at the target area, each cavalry team took the time to make final rest while conducting final battlefield reconnaissance and target confirmation.
Ensure that subsequent attacks are foolproof.
………
About six o'clock in the morning.
The sky was already bright, and although the sun had not yet fully risen and the wilderness was still shrouded in fog, one could already clearly see targets within a radius of 500 meters.
Attack, begin!
"kill!!!"
Since there are no precise timing tools such as watches, each cavalry team can only carry small hourglasses produced by Chang'an Glass Factory as simple timing tools.
It is said that the attack is on time at 6 o'clock in the morning, but there must be some errors in reality.
There is a before and a after.
But as long as the difference is not too outrageous, it will not affect this military operation. Almost at the same time, the cavalry from all walks of life put on heavy Mingguang armor, mounted their horses that had rested for the night, took out their spears, and headed straight for the target territory.
go.
"Crash!!"
Most of the village-level territory is surrounded by a simple wooden fence to prevent wild animals.
A little lazy.
Not even a fence was built.
A little more stable.
Then they will choose to dig a simple trench outside the fence.
Facing the charge of heavy cavalry, without the wooden fence to resist the horses, it was just like paper. The trench, which was less than one meter wide, was easily crossed by the war horses.
"What's the noise?"
The first person to notice the abnormality was the soldier on duty at the entrance of the village.
in sight.
A group of cavalry charged quickly, breaking the early morning silence.
"Where did the cavalry come from? Are they the messengers of the coalition forces?" The patrolling soldier looked confused.
"kill!"
The next moment, before they could think clearly, their chests had already been pierced by a spear.
Died on the spot!
The cavalry squad continued its momentum, and after clearing away the miscellaneous fish soldiers on duty, they headed straight for the lord's mansion.
"What sound?"
It was only then that the people in the village realized something was wrong and looked out curiously. Then they saw that the gate of the Lord's Mansion was directly broken down by cavalry, and there were chaotic sounds of fighting inside, and then calmness soon returned.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the cavalry rushed out from the lord's mansion and quickly disappeared into the wilderness.
"???"
The people in the village had questions on their faces.
As everyone knows, in just a quarter of an hour, the territory has changed hands!
Similar scenes continued to play out in Joaquin, Macomb and Denton counties. Three heavy cavalry brigades were like a whirlwind, setting off a massacre on the Denton Plains.
Destroy all resisting enemies.
………
"Something bad has happened, the Chang'an cavalry is coming to kill us!"
Many Aztec lords who were killed in their sleep immediately posted crazily on the forum after being resurrected in Folding City.
"What happened? Why did the Chang'an cavalry suddenly appear in Joaquin County?"
"Not just Joaquin County, I am the lord of Macomb County and I am also being attacked."
"I'm from Denton County..."
"Are there any lords from other counties?"
"No, no more..."
"That is to say, Denton, Joaquin, and Macomb counties were attacked by Chang'an cavalry at the same time?"
"Damn it!"
"What do the coalition forces do for food? The enemy has been killed across the border, and they are kept in the dark."
"Rutgers is an idiot!!"
"Contact Rutgers immediately and ask him to send troops to reinforce the three counties. It is simply a shame and a shame!"
"Let's find out first whether this time is an attack by a small group of Chang'an cavalry or a large-scale military operation. We must not mess up the position on our own."
"Yes, yes!"
"We are already contacting the coalition command. Let's do some statistics ourselves to see which territories have been attacked so far."
"I am the lord of Fano Village in Joaquin County..."
"Aili Village, Macomb County..."
"Huyang Village in Denton County..."
“Piro Village, Joaquin County…”
On the forum, the annihilated lords began to relay messages under the posts, and then a dedicated person was responsible for collecting the statistics, making them into a spreadsheet, and updating them in real time on the forum.
As time goes by, the list on the table gets longer and longer.
There is also more and more bad news.
The atmosphere on the forum is becoming more and more solemn. Even those who were watching the excitement before are now falling into embarrassing silence in front of the long list.
Every list is like a slap in the face from Chang'an.
It's painfully tight!
"Is it still too late for the coalition forces to send troops now?"
"There is no doubt that this is definitely a large-scale military operation by Chang'an."
"The coalition forces were so fooled by Chang'an!"
Because Chang'an's army was stationed by the Gray Water River, the Leopard Tao Brigade retreated in time, giving the lords of the three counties an illusion, that is -
Chang'an was busy confronting the coalition forces and was unable to invade the three counties.
What's the result?
Without them noticing, the Chang'an army swept in, catching the lords of the three counties by surprise.
And this is a mistake.
The price paid was the rapid fall of the three counties.
