"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1215
In the middle of the night, most of the residents of Ketu City were already sound asleep, and the only sounds on the streets were the clanging of patrols passing by.
A few ghostly black shadows appeared outside Ketu City. Under the cover of night, they quickly approached Ketu City.
They touched the corner of the city wall. After seeing the patrol team on the city wall pass by, these nimble black figures threw the iron hook with the rope towards the top of the city wall.
Their movements were extremely skillful, the iron hooks were hung on the battlements, they grabbed the ropes, quickly climbed up, and soon jumped onto the city wall.
"who?"
Not far away, a few drowsy soldiers of the Ketu City Patrol Battalion heard the movement, and walked towards this side with swords in their hands.
"Shhhhhhh!"
The soldiers of the patrol battalion were greeted by sharp arrows, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion fell to the ground with a plop.
The brothers of the Qinghe army scout team who first climbed up the city wall guarded both ends of the city wall, and then a steady stream of Qinghe army climbed up the rope.
Soon, more than a hundred Qinghe army soldiers headed towards the city gate, and the soldiers of the patrol battalion along the way were easily killed by them.
These soldiers of the Qinghe Army are elite scouts who have experienced hundreds of battles, while the patrol battalion soldiers in Ketu City are only second-line garrison troops, and their vigilance and combat effectiveness are very weak.
They never thought that there would be danger approaching Ketu City, so they were suddenly attacked by a powerful enemy, and they didn't even have the power to resist.
The Qinghe Army brothers who touched the city wall quickly occupied the winch controlling the city gate. With the joint efforts of everyone, the city gate slowly opened with a creaking sound.
"Master Legion Commander, they succeeded!"
Seeing the torches shaking clockwise on the top of Ketu City in the distance, this was the signal they had agreed upon, and excitement flashed across the face of Peng Dashun, the head of the First Banner of the Cavalry.
"Dashun, bring your person to me!"
Fatty Lu, head of the First Cavalry Corps, also saw the signal in the distance, and gave an order to Peng Dashun, head of the First Banner.
"No!"
After receiving the order, Peng Dashun quickly led his 20,000 cavalry to charge towards Ketu City.
Twenty thousand cavalry surged forward in the dark night. Except for the sound of intensive hoofbeats and heavy breathing, the whole team had no other chaotic sounds, and there was a sense of coldness and killing.
Soon, the cavalry led by Peng Dashun followed the opened city gate and poured into the city with ease.
"kill!"
Seeing the city still asleep, a stern look flashed across the face of Peng Dashun, the head of the First Banner.
The cavalry of the Qinghe Army rushed into the depths along several main roads like mercury pouring down the ground.
Along the way, several patrol teams of the patrol battalion hurried over after hearing the movement here, and encountered the surging Qinghe army on the way, and were beaten to pieces as soon as they met.
Shouts of killing soon resounded in Ketu City, and the sleeping residents and nobles were also awakened.
When they saw through the window the cavalrymen in white war robes galloping and killing along the street, their expressions turned into a disastrous defeat.
"My lord bishop, it's bad! The Hanhai cavalry has entered the city!"
In the bishop's residence, panicked soldiers from the patrol battalion stumbled in to report, and the bishop in black was also full of bewilderment.
"Hanhai Cavalry, why did they appear in Ketu City?!"
Facing the report from the soldiers of the patrol battalion under his command, the bishop in black did not believe that there would be cavalry from the vast sea at all.
But before he could figure out the situation, the cavalry of the brigade had already arrived at his residence. Amid the clanging of swords and swords, the guards outside were chopped down in a pool of blood, and the brave cavalry rushed in.
Seeing the murderous white-robed cavalry, the bishop in black couldn't care less, and under the protection of several personal guards, he hurriedly fled through the back door.
The brigade of cavalry suddenly invaded Ketu City. They quickly seized strategic locations and set fire to the houses facing the street, causing Ketu City to be in chaos.
After hearing the attack on Ketu City, a Holy See general in black who was staying in Ketu City for escorting food and supplies quickly gathered more than 3,000 Skitarii soldiers to try to repel the enemy.
But they were killed by a fierce cavalryThe front was defeated, and then there was a one-sided massacre.
"Master Legion, all important places in the city have been occupied by us, the patrol battalion has been defeated, and their city lord and bishop in black have been captured and killed by us!"
The battle lasted less than an hour, and Peng Dashun, the head of the First Banner, sent someone to report the situation to Fatty Lu.
Hearing that Peng Dashun successfully controlled the situation in Ketu City, Fatty Lu, who led the Second Banner Regiment to guard outside the city, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Order Peng Dashun to drive all the residents out of Ketu City before dawn, and burn Ketu City after looting enough supplies for us!" Fatty Lu ordered.
"No!"
After a messenger got the order, he quickly rushed towards Ketu City, which was in flames.
"Master Legion, why don't you burn all the people in the city together, it will save trouble."
Seeing that Fatty Lu was going to drive out the residents of Ketu City before burning the city down, Guo Xin, the head of the Second Banner, said puzzled.
"What do you know, the living are more useful than the dead." Fatty Lu said.
"The last general is dull, please ask the leader of the legion to clarify."
"Ketu City has 50,000 to 60,000 residents. If we burn Ketu City, they will become homeless refugees. For the Holy See, they are a burden. They can't just ignore it."
"The leader of the legion is wise!"
Guo Xin also immediately understood Fatty Lu's intention, which was to deliberately create refugees and increase the burden on the Holy See.
If the Holy See doesn't care about these refugees, the homeless who want food will inevitably go to other cities, which will inevitably affect the local security and other aspects, and eventually intensify the conflict between the Holy See and these refugees.
"Put the guard post twenty miles away, be vigilant!"
Seeing Ketu City in the distance, burning into the sky, Fatty Lu gave an order to Guo Xin, the head of the Second Banner beside him.
They are now in the enemy's territory, and they have been hiding and interspersed before, so they don't have to worry about anything.
Now that they have taken action against Ketu City, they have already been exposed, so they will inevitably encounter attention and encirclement from all parties, and if they are not careful, the entire army will be wiped out, so they must be cautious.
In fact, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army led by Fatty Lu suddenly attacked Ketu City, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
Therefore, it was not until they drove out all the residents of Ketu City, burned Ketu City and walked away, that the nearest city learned of the attack on Ketu City.
