"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 1218
"Don't blame me for being strict with you. The lives of the brothers are in our hands. If we are not careful, the lives of the brothers may be gone."
Seeing the two banner leaders who admitted their mistakes, Fatty Lu's tone softened, and he said earnestly.
"What Master Legion taught us is that we are indeed proud and underestimated the enemy." Peng Dashun hurriedly said.
Fatty Lu regained his smile on his face, patted Peng Dashun on the shoulder and said, "It's good that you can realize your mistakes, knowing your mistakes can make a big difference."
"My lord, the cathars are coming in menacingly, shall we fight or withdraw?" Guo Xin, the head of the banner, asked for instructions.
"The Shizihe area has been tossed almost by us. Five big cities have been burned and more than 70 small villages and towns have been destroyed. There is no need to stay here any longer." Fatty Lu said.
After hearing Fatty Lu's words, both Peng Dashun and Guo Xin understood what he meant, that is, to evacuate the Shizihe area.
They raided this area, and before the Holy See could react, they tried their best to carry out sabotage operations, which can be said to have caused great losses to the Holy See.
Not only did they destroy many towns, they added tens of thousands of refugees to the Holy See, and they also beheaded a lot of nobles.
Among them, as many as four city lords were beheaded, five earls, eleven barons, one cardinal, three bishops in black, and two generals in black.
These are the elites of the Holy See, and they are also powerful figures in the Lion River area.
But now they are all beheaded by Fatty Lu and the others, so they have completely angered the Holy See.
The Holy See has mobilized various armies to encircle and suppress them in the Shizihe area. If they continue to stay here, they are either stupid or stupid!
Fatty Lu, as a mighty general of the Qinghe Army, naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing, stay here and wait to be beaten.
"Send the order, and in an hour, we will head to the Kavos mountain area." Fatty Lu ordered.
"Master Legion, are we going into the mountains?" Peng Dashun couldn't help but frowned.
Although the terrain of the mountainous area allows them to easily avoid the encirclement and suppression of the Holy See army, the mountainous area will also limit the combat effectiveness of the cavalry for the cavalry.
What the cavalry needs is to maneuver in a wide space. If they enter the mountainous area, it is tantamount to locking themselves in a cage.
"Our purpose is not to enter the mountains, but to lure the enemy over, and then let's go to the Keral Plain." Fatty Lu said proudly.
"The Keral Plain is beautiful and rich, with many towns. If we can destroy the Keral Plain, the Holy See will be greatly injured if it is not dead."
"The leader of the legion is wise!"
Peng Dashun and Guo Xin also gasped when they heard Fatty Lu's plan. They didn't expect him to have such a big appetite that he wanted to enter the Keral Plain.
"If we go directly now, we will definitely be intercepted by their heavy troops, and we may be wiped out before we arrive, so we have to pretend to retreat to the mountains first, and then come back with a carbine!"
Fatty Lu followed Chen Ziang and fought with the armies of the Far East Dynasty. Under his influence, he also learned a lot about marching and fighting.
This time he led the army independently, so he naturally applied what he had learned.
After confirming the battle plan, Fatty Lu and the others immediately prepared to leave the Lion River area and turned to the Kavos mountain area.
In order to further attract the attention of the enemy, they did not jump forward as before, but marched along the main road, preparing to attack the city and encounter Zhenba Town, appearing extremely arrogant.
It's just that Fatty Lu and the others belong to the cavalry unit, so it's no problem to engage in raids and battles in flat areas, but it's really embarrassing for them to attack the city swaggeringly.
Although their cavalry is elite, fighting on horseback is their strength. Siege is not an easy task, and it will cause them a lot of casualties.
Fortunately, Fatty Lu, the commander of the First Cavalry Corps of the Qinghe Army, was not troubled, because he took the prisoners who captured the Holy See in various towns.
Fatty Lu and the others swept across the Shizihe area, and the local defenders in various towns were not their opponents at all.
Therefore, the captive local patrol battalion, the guards of the city lords and the private armed forces of the nobles amounted to more than ten thousand people.
Of course, more enemies were wiped out or fled by them on the battlefield, and these were captured only a small part.
Now these more than 10,000 captives were organized by Fatty Lu, preparing to serve as cannon fodder for the siege.
On the road leading to the Kavos Mountains, Fatty Lu and the others encountered a fortified city blocking the way.
The city lord and Bishop Gray had already organized a considerable force to guard the city. When Fatty Lu and the others arrived, the city was already in full swing.
If the previous tactics were followed, Fatty Lu and the others must have bypassed them directly and attacked the villages and towns in the countryside.
But this time Fatty Lu and the others did not go around, but pushed the more than ten thousand captives to the front.
"I'll give you a chance to live. You rush into the city, kill five heads, and I can let you live!"
Fatty Lu rode his horse and rushed to these captured patrol camps, city guards and other soldiers, and loudly announced his policy towards them.
After hearing Fatty Lu's words, these prisoners also had a commotion, after all, they finally had a chance to survive.
But this chance of survival is not easy. They need to take up arms and attack their own city.
"Now those who are willing to live stand on the left, and those who are not willing to go stand still!"
While Fatty Lu was speaking, the cavalry of the Qinghe Army behind him pulled out their sharp swords one after another, with murderous aura.
The reason why these captives became captives was because they didn't want to die, so before making the choice between attacking their own city and saving their own lives, they finally chose to attack their own city.
Except for a few captives who were unwilling, the rest stood on the left, willing to agree to the Qinghe army's condition, which was to kill five heads in exchange for a chance of survival.
Those who were unwilling were quickly thrown into a pool of blood by the cavalry of the Qinghe Army who rushed up, and the rest of the people who watched were trembling.
"Send them weapons!"
Facing this group of weaklings, Fatty Lu also looked down on them, and immediately ordered Peng Dashun to send them weapons.
Bundles of swords were thrown in front of them, in addition to the simple ladders for attacking the city and other things. These prisoners held swords in their hands and had fighting power again.
Dozens of prisoners took their weapons and tried to attack the cavalry of the Qinghe Army who were closest to them.
However, the sharp knife light flashed, and dozens of heads fell to the ground soon, and the rest of them dared not move anymore.
"Attack!"
Following Fatty Lu's order, more than a thousand cavalry drove the messy captive soldiers towards the city that was waiting for battle.
