Your Highness, please spare the concubine

"In this way, our army can reduce a lot of unnecessary casualties, and can plunder more wealth, land, and even defeat their reinforcements while besieging Qingyan City!"

"Wait until Qingyan City is isolated and helpless, restless, and there are loopholes in defense, then turn around and attack fiercely, and take it down in one fell swoop!"

As soon as Vian Humphrey finished speaking, he was immediately refuted by Laua Lusien.

"It's just nonsense!"

Being taught in class like this, Wei An frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean? Huh!" Laura snorted coldly, looked at Hodgson and said.

"My lord! I think General Wei'an's move will put our army in a situation where there is no redemption!"

Hearing this, Hodgson, who was a little moved by Wei An's strategy, asked quickly, "Why?"

"It's a big taboo to divide the army into two groups!" Laura said.

"Isn't our army going south this time to capture Qingyan City and use it as a base to continue going south?"

"If according to what General Wei'an said, what's the use of our army going to plunder some small towns of little value first?"

"If you send troops to defend after the capture, it will drag down our army! If you don't defend, what is the difference from not capturing?"

"And doing so will not only consume a lot of energy of our soldiers, but also split our army into two."

"When the time comes, the defenders of Qingyan City will come out and attack our army. Wouldn't they be defeated immediately!?"

"Even if they won't go out of the city, we will wait for our army to unite before a decisive battle. But at that time, they are waiting for work and defending the city, but our army is over-exhausted, and its energy has bottomed out!"

"Who wins and who loses is clear at a glance!"

"That's why I want to attack Qingyan City in one go, and things will change later, my lord!"

Volume 254 #Chapter 69 Trauma ([-])

The words of Laura Lusien woke up Hodgson Tom again.

Indeed, there are so many concerns about following Vian Humphrey's plan.

No one can predict the development of the battlefield.

Just when Hodgson was thinking about what to do, the two parties under the account had already quarreled.

Some generals, headed by Vian Humphrey, advocated dividing the army into two groups.

However, Lao Ya Lu Sien and other Hodgson's cronies advocated a violent attack on Qingyan City.

Wei An and the others have been trying to persuade their lord ever since Hodgson decided to storm Qingyan City.

Because Qingyan City is really not that easy to capture.

Laura and the others thought much simpler——

That is to unconditionally support Hodgson's previous decision. Who made them cronies?

In the end, Hodgson chose the initial decision.

"Stop arguing! Since you two are at loggerheads, then follow the original strategy!"

"Regardless of whether there is a problem with Isabella, our army can't go back without doing anything. Isn't it a joke?"

"Order the whole army to speed up and attack Qingyan City!"

"Obey!" Lao Ya and other generals excitedly took the order and left.

Vian Humphrey and the others could only sigh, and went back to prepare.

After all, they have been thinking about the battle strategy for so many days, and they are actually not sure in their hearts.

Now it was reported that the food and grass of Isabella's army had been destroyed, which made Wei'an feel even more uncertain.

If that Willis is really so scary——

They probably shouldn't have come.

But things have come to this, and I can only grit my teeth!

After leaving the tent, Hodgson Tom called the messenger: "Where is the First Prince? Is there any news today?"

The messenger soldier immediately replied: "My lord, I'm still on the northern section of Hengwei Avenue. I think His Royal Highness the First Prince should be there after our army sieges the city."

"But His Royal Highness wants us to postpone the march and wait for him."

Hearing this, Hodgson immediately shook the fat on his body and snorted coldly.

"Hehe, a prince who is still young and doesn't know anything knows how to fight a war?"

"He will be his commander-in-chief, and he will gain fame for nothing."

"But let's wait? Does he really think he can command Lao Tzu? Why doesn't he let the enemy wait? Ridiculous!"

"Ignore him, order the whole army to run forward!"

"Yes!"

====

On the afternoon of October 10th, Krusger City.

The enemy finally disappeared from Krusger City in the afternoon.

Mostly fled.

A small part was wiped out by the reinforcements who were driven back.

The reinforcements were mainly composed of the 5000 people that Willis deliberately left behind, as well as the city defense forces of Krusig City itself.

Although they are all a little tired now, they immediately started to maintain law and order with the remaining patrols in United City.

"Don't panic, everyone. The enemy army has fled now and will not come back again. This general assures everyone!"

"Come out, it's safe!"

"Please cooperate to count the losses and population."

"Pay attention! Her Royal Highness ordered the distribution of pensions, as long as there are losses and sacrifices in the family, they can come and register to receive them."

On the street, the ferocious and excited roar of the enemy army and the wailing of the people of the empire disappeared.

Under the call of the reinforcements, the civilians who locked the doors, shivered, and armed with weapons finally took to the streets.

Seeing the Imperial Army, many people wept with joy.

The leading general led a group of soldiers to keep shouting to appease the people.

With the issuance of pensions and the continuous arrest of those who took the opportunity to cause chaos...

The atmosphere of the whole city gradually stabilized.

With the help of the sergeant, the cleaners began to clean the blood and debris left everywhere.

Some bodies killed by enemy troops were also buried.

Amid the sound of comfort, the family members of the deceased began to prepare for the funeral.

With the help of the sergeant, the city owner counted the losses in the city one by one.

Although Krusger City is not as prosperous as Munsell and other big cities, it is still a very large city in the western region.

After the [-] troops led by Ans Eyre entered the city, the damage they could cause was actually limited.

Their primary goal is to burn the military supplies hoarded in the big warehouses in the city, including armor, feather arrows and various large equipment.

Then there are hundreds of thousands of catties of grain hoarded in the warehouse.

In the afternoon sun, thick smoke and flames continued to come from the direction of Okura.

Alerting people to what has happened before.

In addition to warehouses, some military facilities and some civilian houses in the city were also burned down.

Many rich merchants and rich mansions were looted by Anse-Ayr's army, and all of these places were ablaze.

Some places have been reduced to ashes.

And the blood and dead people are mainly concentrated in these places.

When the leading general brought people over, he could still hear those rich young masters and young ladies kneeling on the ground crying in ragged clothes.

Some of the servants who escaped by chance were stealthily picking at the embers, trying to find something valuable.

These were rounded up as reinforcements took control of the traumatized streets and areas.

Most of them showed sorrow, weeping, or howling endlessly.

All were covered in plaster and looked as if they had been rolled in blood.

The general asked to bring a healer and a pharmacist to treat them, and simply cooked porridge, rice and side dishes.

After eating, they were handed over to the city lord.

The aftermath, and even the reconstruction work, is naturally done by officials like the city lord.

Just slowly becoming soft under the sun, the once beautiful city of Krusger has experienced the baptism of war.

It looked as if the beauty had been defiled.

The thick smoke and flames are still continuing, and if you get a little closer, you can still hear the shouts of people who are putting out the flames.

After being attacked by the enemy this time and burning a lot of things, the city of Krusger, which may remain in people's memory, will change its appearance from now on.

Or maybe it hasn't changed.

The place a little far away was not affected by the sharp edge of the enemy army.

The civilians calmed down amidst the fear, and began to work day after day.

Some things have changed, and some things have remained the same.

When this matter fades away, it may become a topic of conversation for many people after dinner.

But before the border war is completely over, the people of Krusig City will keep a sense of vigilance in their hearts.

And under this shadow, a person quietly entered the city amidst the chaos.

Soon after……

In a small alley, he turned over into the wall and came to a courtyard.

After careful observation for a long time, when he was sure that there was only one owner of the house, he made a move!

When night fell, when a group of soldiers knocked on the door to inquire, the owner of the house opened the door.

"What's the matter? All military lords?"

"We are checking the remaining enemy spies and spies in the city. Although there should be none, we should register just in case."

"If you find suspicious people or people who take the opportunity to cause chaos, you can also report to the patrol team."

"Yes, yes, I got it!" After briefly introducing himself, the group of soldiers checked the information and nodded to leave.

Looking back, the [house owner] closed the door and went to the utility room.

Inside, there was a shivering man covered in blood, with his hands, feet, mouth and nose bound.

"Well, thank you for the information, bye."

The owner of the house sneered and made a death move.

When it was cleaned up, Froman, who had changed his identity, sat in the house with a gloomy expression on his face.

"Damn Isabella! You actually sent someone to assassinate me!"

After cursing a few words, Froman got up, searched the house for some food to eat, and then began to pack the previous owner's clothes and various tools.

"Get out of here tomorrow, it's not safe anymore."

Lying on the bed, Froman vigilantly fell into a light sleep.
