"Boss, I finally waited until you came. Tonight I can finally have a few drinks and sleep well. Do you know, I have been on tenterhooks after occupying this royal city of Polyvisia?
Until now, even if we take a nap, we have to turn a blind eye. Now that we have finally waited for you to come over, our First Division can feel at ease..."
Even though Belklin held a welcome ceremony and a small military parade at the city gate, showing that he knew everything was under control, he complained loudly as soon as he returned to the division headquarters. The surprise attack on the Royal City of Polyvisia was a feat in the history of war.
, but occupying the Royal City of Polyvisia and waiting for reinforcements from the follow-up troops was a very painful day for him and the soldiers of the First Division.
You must know that the Kingdom of Nasseri has always been a sworn enemy of the Kingdom of Ovilas. As the location of the royal city, the atmosphere of hostility to the Kingdom of Ovilas has always been very serious. And those who live in the royal city are all people with status in the Kingdom of Nasseri.
It can be said that these people are all supporters of the Nasseri royal family, and they are also the beneficiaries of the national policy of joining the Eastern Regional League of Nations to target the Kingdom of Ovilas.
There are a total of 110,000 registered resident families in the Royal City of Polyvisia. Even though most of them are civilians, they are also indirectly related to the aristocracy of the Kingdom of Nasseri. The occupations of the adult men in the family are either low-level administrative officials or
People in the army either work for a certain noble and conduct commercial activities in the royal city. It can be said that most of the residents in the royal city are the elites and middle class of the Nasseri Kingdom.
So from a certain point of view, the residents of the Royal City of Polyvisia are loyal subjects of Nasseri VII. They support the war started by the Kingdom of Nasseri against the Kingdom of Ovelas and look forward to the destruction of Ovi.
In the future, the Kingdom of Ras will be able to get a sip of soup and gain benefits for individuals and families. In the residential areas of the royal city, you can see many families with orange flowers made of white silk hanging on their doorways, which means that this family
There are men who died on the battlefield...
With 110,000 households, there are a total population of 500,000 to 600,000. Adding in the foreign businessmen and workers, the population of the Royal City of Polyvisia exceeds 800,000, which is one million more than the Kingdom of Overas.
The royal capital with a permanent population is a bit inferior. It can be called the second metropolis in the eastern region of Farea Continent. It has a lot of commerce, trade and workshops and manufacturing production.
Belklin led the first division to make a surprise attack on the Royal City of Polyvisia. He was very lucky, and it happened to coincide with the monthly holiday of the Royal Guards of Nasseri, which was a three-day holiday to allow the officers and soldiers of the regiment to return.
I went home for three days to deal with family matters and reunite with my loved ones. Therefore, there was only one division of the Guards Corps left in the royal city. They were stunned by the sudden attack by the first division of the Thunder Legion, and were quickly defeated.
The royal city was captured by the First Division.
The Royal City of Polyvisia was captured, and none of the Nasseri royal family and noble officials in the city escaped. They were all arrested by troops sent by Belklin. This was also a matter of time difference. At that time, the residents of the Royal City did not react.
It was occupied by the enemy. Once the situation was understood, all the noble and high-ranking officials who could instigate the civil uprising had been arrested, and there was no one left to resist. Even if they wanted to, they could not resist.
One thing Bekkerin did very well was to take the initiative when the situation in the city was not very stable and sweep away the resistance forces that had gathered around the royal city. However, Bekkerin also admitted that he had no choice at the time. If he had not taken the initiative,
When the local garrison armed forces from the towns surrounding the royal city gather to surround the royal city, and the residents of the city cooperate with each other, then what awaits the first division will be a cruel and bloody battle...
Because it was a holiday for the Nasseri Royal Guards, the officers and soldiers of a division went home in turns. Most of them did not live in the royal city, but in the towns surrounding the royal city. There were also some nobles of the Nasseri Kingdom.
, they also built manors and villas in the towns surrounding the Royal City. After learning that the Royal City had fallen, these nobles and the officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps who were taking turns to go home took action, contacted each other, and assembled local garrison forces in the surrounding towns to prepare.
The counterattack on the royal city suddenly became huge.
After learning this information, Belklin immediately decided to send troops directly to eliminate the threat to the royal city from the resistance forces being formed in the surrounding towns. He directly dispatched three main field regiments to sweep through the surrounding towns and defeat those who were gathering there.
The garrison armed forces immediately eliminated these threats to the royal city in their infancy.
As Belklin himself admitted, the situation at that time was really critical and tense. There was less than one regiment of troops left in the entire royal city. When the first division captured the royal city, it suffered nearly 3,000 casualties.
He already had a battalion of troops. At that time, he was well prepared. If the residents of the royal city rioted, he would directly pull Nasseri VII out of the palace and take him as a hostage. See who can be more ruthless than the other. If he wants to save the king, he will give it to you.
A dead body will most likely perish together.
Fortunately, the three main field regiments cleaned up the towns around the Royal City and escorted a large amount of supplies and property back. The residents of the Royal City did not behave unusually, allowing the First Division to survive the crisis. But the next more than a month was spent
Life in the royal city was not easy, partly due to the hostility and uncooperation of the residents of the royal city. The guards of the captured Nasseri royal family and those noble officials, as well as the more than 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps who had been captured, were given to
The first division is under a lot of pressure.
There is also the defense work of the entire royal city, which makes Belklin nervous every day, fearing that something unexpected will happen there, and looking forward to the arrival of reinforcements all day long so that he can relieve himself of the heavy burden on his shoulders. Especially since the surrounding towns have not cleaned up the resistance forces.
, and there are still many fish that have slipped through the net. The light cavalry patrol team of the First Division is often ambushed by the resistance forces in these areas, with three to four hundred casualties. Belklin is very angry, but cannot retaliate, so he is afraid
Stir up civil unrest.
"Look, the twelve towns within a hundred miles around the royal city have all been listed as restricted areas that our division soldiers are prohibited from entering. Because even if you walk on the streets, you will be ambushed by those who are ambushed in the houses next to the streets.
An ambush by gunmen. But we were unable to find the enemy because they dropped their guns and became civilians. If we conducted a large-scale manhunt across the town, we would have to dispatch a regiment of troops. Otherwise, if tens of thousands of residents in a town rioted, it would be difficult for us to suppress them.
Come down..." Belklin pointed to the surrounding towns on the map of the Royal City of Polyvisia to introduce.
"Now the First Division only has three and a half regiments of troops. One regiment guards the city wall, one regiment guards the prisoners, and one regiment suppresses order in the residential and commercial areas of the royal city. There are also two battalions responsible for guarding the palace, Nasseri
The royal family members and high-ranking officials and nobles are all detained in the palace. This is an important matter that must not go wrong. The remaining more than 2,000 sick and wounded are staying in the medical camp, so I have no mobile troops on hand, so I can only let the royal city
The twelve surrounding towns have vaguely besieged us in the royal city. Even if we send out scout light cavalry teams and patrol teams, we can only patrol and explore the outskirts of these towns..." Belklin was helpless.
Claude thought of the two small towns he had passed through before and realized that what Belklin said was right. The townspeople were driven out of the houses on both sides of the street. They looked at the Thunder Legion soldiers passing by on the street with hatred in their eyes.
.In fact, it’s not a big deal. The main reason is that the guard camp took over the houses on both sides of the street for safety reasons. They would return the houses to the original owners after Claude passed by, and did not take the opportunity to rob any property from their homes.
Just like that, the townspeople stood on both sides of the street, watching coldly with anger and hatred as the officers and soldiers of the Second Division of the Thunder Legion and Claude passed by their door. It seemed that none of what Belklin said was true.
To be honest, the lack of mobile troops on hand was unable to counter the local resistance armed forces in these towns around the royal city, which led to a heightened awareness of resistance among the residents of these twelve towns. This is not a good sign and must be resolutely suppressed.
Sometimes kindness does not make the enemy lay down their weapons, but instead makes them more arrogant. As the sworn enemy of the Kingdom of Ovelas, the Royal City of Polyvisia and the surrounding areas of the Kingdom of Nasseri are the most resolute in anti-Austria. Perhaps
Only iron and blood can wake up the people in this area, and their fate is in the hands of the conquerors.
"Let's rest for two days and send more scouts and light cavalry teams to besiege the twelve towns around the royal city and cut off the transportation routes between them. Even pedestrians must go through strict interrogation and guarantee before they can be released. Two days later, the Second Division
were dispatched, and a battalion was sent to each town to block the access roads and besiege them. The remaining one regiment began to search each town, arresting all those with muskets and weapons in their homes. Nobles and officials also ransacked their homes and arrested them, resisting
Kill without mercy, no matter the old, weak, women or children, as long as there are those who are hostile to our army and have acted, all will be eliminated!"
Claude coldly issued his first order after arriving in the Royal City of Polyvisia. Unlike the senior officers at the headquarters who stood at attention and followed the order, he knew very well that his order would cause a stir in the surrounding towns.
What a bloody wave. While Ci does not control the troops, she kills the enemy mercilessly. Only in this way can we be worthy of those soldiers who trust us, instead of letting those loyal and brave soldiers sacrifice in vain for the sake of so-called humanitarianism.
life.
The two divisions of the Thunder Legion met in the Royal City of Polyvisia, which suddenly made the situation around the royal city tense. The night was dominated by the Wolf Fang Brigade, and Claude did not let the Wolf Fang Brigade enter those towns.
Peripheral activities in those towns. As expected, in two nights, the Langya Brigade captured more than a dozen liaison officers sent by the local resistance armed forces in these towns. Under torture, these liaison officers one by one transferred the liaison officers where they were located.
The inside story of the local resistance forces was revealed.
The net was closed on the third day. Twelve towns were separated and surrounded. The fifth regiment of the second division entered the town of Rodeway and began to search. As a result, they were ambushed by local resistance forces in less than half an hour. Then the whole town rioted, and countless townspeople were killed.
The residents there rushed at the officers and soldiers of the fifth regiment with knives and forks. The commander of the second division, General Diavid, spat out the grassroots in his mouth and gave the order to open fire...
After more than 70,000 residents of Rodway Town carried out a fierce and tragic two-day resistance to the death, all they got was the end of their families and their lives. The knives and forks in their hands were not even able to kill an enemy, but were destroyed by ruthless bullets one after another.
Knocked to the ground. Even hiding at home was of no use. The officers and soldiers of the Fifth Regiment used the old muzzle-loading light infantry artillery captured in the royal city to fire solid iron projectiles to destroy their houses, and threw grenades into the houses to clear the targets.
.....
In the end, with the exception of more than 10,000 women and children who voluntarily surrendered and were lucky enough to survive as prisoners, the entire town was razed to the ground. In order to destroy the evidence, the abominable invaders also set a fire before leaving, and the raging fire was covered in kerosene.
It burned under the water for three days and three nights before it was extinguished. However, the invaders brought nearly a hundred carts filled with property and escorted more than 10,000 women and children on the return journey triumphantly.
Next was the town of Ksimbach. This town had been prepared for a long time. The townspeople built barricades and made various homemade weapons. Before the fifth regiment entered the town, they carried out guard battles and shot with homemade crossbows.
A soldier was preparing to enter the town for inspection, so the battle broke out. Facts have proved that in front of the heavily armed officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division, the townspeople of Kesinback Town can only be regarded as fighting scum, and no one can withstand the artillery.
The explosions of bombardments and projectiles, as well as the ruthless shooting of bullets, made the braver people die faster, and the resistance of the townspeople soon collapsed.
The resistance of the townspeople of Kesinbach Town was only thunder and no rain, and the noise was very loud. After the fighting started, they withered quickly. They were not like the first townspeople of Rodaway Town, who resisted for two days as if they were dead.
However, the townspeople of Ksimback Town could not even resist for six hours. After the most determined and brave people died in battle, the rest obediently abandoned their weapons and surrendered. Therefore, the Thunder Legion gained more than 40,000 prisoners.
Following the example, after collecting the entire town's belongings, the Fifth Regiment set fire and burned the entire town to the ground. People are forgetful, and Claude is not ready to release these townspeople. They will and
The captured officers and soldiers of the Royal Guards Corps of Nasseri were transported to the overseas autonomous territories. The Rocky Mountain State is very lack of popularity, and these officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps and the townspeople will become very suitable miners. Maybe the hard life will make them
They quickly became members of the overseas dominions, forgetting the hatred between countries. Claude believed in this.
However, Diavid asked Claude very strangely why he didn't stab the officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps in the left thigh like other prisoners before releasing them, so that there would be no need to waste a regiment of troops to guard them.
Claude told him that the officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps were all die-hard loyalists of the Kingdom of Nasseri. They, like the captured grassroots officers and nobles, were members of the profit-making class of the Kingdom of Nasseri, so they were very concerned about the destruction of the Kingdom of Nasseri.
We will not compromise in the Kingdom of Nasseri. The other prisoners were forcibly recruited to serve as soldiers. We cut him to avoid the danger of going to the battlefield. He will be grateful to us. It was us who saved him from going to the battlefield.
The fate of being cannon fodder on the battlefield.
And these officers and soldiers of the Guards Corps, let alone cutting them with a knife, breaking one of their legs, will still oppose us. Therefore, transporting them to the Rocky Mountain Continent in the overseas autonomous territories for mining is tantamount to cutting off their retreat. In the future, they will
I can only fight for my own survival, take care of my family, and live a better life.
By the same token, the same goes for these townspeople. Although they were suppressed by us, they would still make trouble behind our backs if we left them alone. For the long-term peace and stability of the area around the royal city, we can only kill the chickens to scare the monkeys.
The towns of Rodway and Ksimback have become examples of what will happen if you resist us. Let the residents of the other ten towns see clearly what the consequences will be if you resist us...
This result has been clearly displayed in front of everyone. Therefore, except for the residents of the third town who resisted the armed forces and struggled like a death struggle for more than an hour and were all annihilated, no other townspeople resisted and entered the town to search.
The officers and soldiers of the Thunder Legion were inspected. Even the townspeople whose families had hidden muskets in their houses were arrested, and their neighbors had no objections to express. They just closed the doors and windows and peeked out from the cracks in the doors and windows...
...
The surrender of the third town means that the remaining nine towns around the royal city can no longer raise any waves of resistance. There are the ruins of Rodway Town and Ksimbach Town in the front, and the remaining four towns are all the same as the third town.
Just like the town, except for the members of the local resistance armed forces who were hiding in the area and persisted in resisting, the other townspeople had become quails. They watched helplessly as the officers and soldiers of the Thunder Legion crushed the resistance of the armed personnel and captured the
Armed rebels gathered in town squares, shot them to death, and took away their families.
For towns that bowed their heads to express surrender, the officers and soldiers of the Thunder Legion only stated that they would levy a 30% tax rate, and everything else was left to the townspeople. Of course, the officers and soldiers of the Thunder Legion only entered the house to check whether there were hidden muskets and other weapons. Generally,
He doesn't care about his swords, bows and spears. He also doesn't collect property from the homes of townspeople who obey his orders.
The officers and soldiers of the Thunder Legion only captured the resistance armed forces and their families. The members of the resistance armed forces who voluntarily surrendered would not be killed, but were taken away as prisoners like their families. The same goes for the nobles and officials in the town.
They were arrested together with their family members. Only the armed men who resisted on the spot were brutally suppressed, and even if they were alive, they were executed on the spot.
The houses of these armed resistance members and rebels, as well as the manors and villas of nobles and local officials, will be carefully searched, all belongings will be removed, and even vacant manor villas and houses will be posted.
Putting a seal on it means that the house will be dealt with in the future and other townspeople will not be allowed to occupy it on their own...
When they arrived at the last three towns, three main field regiments were already moving at the same time. What was surprising was that the townspeople in these three towns were well prepared, and they greeted the arrival of the Thunder Legion soldiers respectfully. At this time
The soldiers discovered that these townspeople had done everything for them. Even the members of the resistance armed forces hiding in the town had been tied up and gathered in the square of the town. Even their family members were not allowed to leave.
exception.
Looking at the muskets, artillery and other weapons piled up in the square, the tied-up members of the resistance who were yelling or regretting, and the crying family members, General Diavid said that he had really opened his eyes.
Several elders among the townspeople, as representatives, expressed humbly that they, the townspeople, had always kept to themselves and just wanted to continue living peacefully. It was also for their own good to treat the resistance members in this way, at least they would not be blamed for their resistance.
He was killed on the spot, and other innocent townspeople were implicated...
In this way, the towns and areas around the Royal City of Polyvisia were re-incorporated under the control of the Thunder Legion. Immediately afterwards, Claude ordered a large-scale inspection of the Royal City and closed the city for half a month. One resident per residential area
After the area was cleared, gunshots and explosions could not be heard. More than 20,000 militants were killed for resisting on the spot. Their family members, as well as the family members of the officers and soldiers of the Royal Guards of Nasseri, as well as the family members of the nobles and local officials in the royal city, were killed for nearly two decades.
One hundred thousand people entered the controlled area and were separated from the outside world.
The Thunder Legion finally took control of the Royal City of Polyvisia and eliminated the hidden dangers behind them. According to statistics, more than 100,000 armed rebels and people died due to these two clearing operations, and Claude was also regarded by the outside world as a result.
