Chapter 525 The Butcher Reappears
Everything is like a bloody massacre.

In the historical records of later generations, the description of this battle is indeed described as a one-sided massacre by an army with an advanced civilization against an army with a lower civilization.

The outcome of the battle was predictable as early as the beginning. After Governor Ajit and the chiefs of eleven other tribes were shot and killed in the first place, the coalition forces fell into a leaderless state, and they could only be passively attacked. Be slaughtered by Holy Roman Empire troops armed with advanced weapons, or be trampled by terrified war elephants.

The soldiers in the rear wanted to turn around and retreat at the first moment, but they were quickly hit head-on by the Holy Roman Empire army that appeared behind them at some point. After a few volleys, they were beaten by dense barrages and doubted their lives. The coalition soldiers broke up immediately, screaming and fleeing in all directions.The soldiers of the former army were also attacked by the enemy who suddenly appeared in front of them in the chaos, and the line infantry lined up neatly attacked them from the front and back. Cooperating with the comrades deployed on the houses on both sides to shoot in turn, one step at a time In one step, the besieged coalition forces were slaughtered.

The battle lasted until the evening of that day. Except for those coalition soldiers who voluntarily surrendered, more than 3 coalition soldiers died on the streets of Begowo City. The higher the height, the blood flowed like a river, flowing over the soldiers' calves, and every time they took a step, they could hear the greasy sound of the calves being pulled out of the slightly viscous blood.

The whole city is filled with a pungent bloody smell, the bloody smell is so strong that it even attracts the covetousness of beasts from several miles away. They wander outside the city gate, ready to move on the large number of corpses in the city. Soldiers of the Holy Roman Empire, they will definitely rush in desperately and feast on it.

……

The news of the massacre of [-] coalition troops quickly spread to most of the colonies of the Ansmara Republic with the pace of messengers. Lieutenant General Trond Olsen's nickname of "The Butcher" spread again. Those who knew him The "glorious deeds" person also took advantage of this time to add fuel to the atrocities he had committed. For a while, in the five colonial territories, the name "butcher" Trond Olsen became the only child. The existence of cry.

Seemingly concerned about Tronde's bad reputation, those strongholds that surrendered immediately lost their strange thoughts and decided to be obedient boys honestly. Several nearby colonial leaders were also afraid that Tronde would continue to send troops and hit them. At the door of the house, they quickly sent envoys to contact Begowo City with the new parliament behind their backs about the surrender.

Trond did not expect that his victory would play such a role. Facing the envoys who came to him, he kept promising that as long as the other party could voluntarily surrender, he would definitely treat them preferentially, which dispelled the doubts of the colonial leaders , more determined to surrender.

Therefore, on October 1127, 10 in the mainland calendar, the three neighboring colonial territories announced their flag change and arrested officials who were still loyal to the Republic. Those officials seemed to have gotten wind of it, and they were arrested before the arresters arrived. An army loyal to them has been pulled up to resist, and the three colonial territories immediately fell into civil strife.

The other territory is the most loyal to the Republic because the new parliament is located there. After receiving the news of the other three flags, the parliament hastily ordered the mobilization of all available soldiers in the territory, and at the same time sent a message to the natives who had been fighting. The tribe sued for peace, but instead hired the other party to send troops to help.Faced with the exquisite items and generous conditions from the Republic of Ansmara, the greedy indigenous tribes agreed to be hired by the former enemy one after another, and sent troops to assist the Republic army to break into the rebellious colonial territory next door.

At the same time, the indigenous tribes inside the three colonial territories took the opportunity to attack the immigration strongholds, captured several strongholds one after another, slaughtered all the immigrants inside, and robbed all their property.The indigenous tribes who succeeded in attacking the stronghold swelled with confidence, and launched an attack on the city where the Governor's Mansion was located. For a while, all three leaders sent alarms to Begowo City for help, forcing Trond to take action.

After a day's rest, the expeditionary force immediately marched to the colonial leader who asked for help, but the intensity of the indigenous tribe's offensive was still beyond the expectations of Trond and others. The army only left Begowo City for two days, and they got Haru News of the fall of Sri Lanka: The city of Harus is falling into civil strife, and the two factions in the city are fighting each other. They have no energy to respond to the alarm of the attack of the indigenous army, so this small city with only wooden walls resisted for half a day before being captured. The Ansmara people were all murdered. Male immigrants were either killed or forcibly taken away as slaves, and female immigrants were brutally raped.

After the native army captured the city of Harus, they took away everything in the city, set fire to the whole city, and razed it to the ground.

After hearing the news, Trond looked gloomy. Although he is called a butcher, he is not a person who is keen on killing. He ordered to slaughter only those who threatened the country, such as those innocent civilians. He has always been Qiu did nothing wrong.

He did not give the order to march towards the territory of Harus, but let the army continue to advance. Although the indigenous tribes who massacred immigrants are hateful, their desire to attack is not high, and they will not easily walk out of the territory of Harus, so Trond decided to go first To quell the chaos in the other two colonial territories, eliminate the remaining forces of the Ansmara Republic by the way, and then march into Harus.

……

Two weeks later, the expeditionary force entered the nearest Colmon Territory in Begowo Territory. According to Rajik Anton, the interim governor of Begowo Territory, this colonial territory has more than [-] immigrants, and the territory is rich in tobacco. , ivory and leather goods.The civil strife in this territory is also the most serious. Because the news was revealed, the loyalists of the Republic were not arrested immediately. Several strongholds in the territory also sent out troops to gather after receiving the news, preparing to launch an attack on Kaolmen City and eliminate the traitors who surrendered to the enemy.

When the expeditionary force entered the colonial territory, the army loyal to the Republic had already surrounded the city of Colmen. In order to rush into the city before the reinforcements from the Holy Roman Empire arrived, the army of the Republic attacked the city day and night, but it still failed to open the situation. The corpses that can leave a place are withdrawn to the camp.The army of the Republic in the city tried again and again to break through the blockade of the rebels, and joined the reinforcements outside the city. The soldiers on both sides fought for days, exhausted and low in morale.

The military commanders on both sides knew that this was a moment of life and death. One side desperately motivated the soldiers to attack, and the other side stood at the front line to command the defense, and for a while there was a stalemate.
