Chapter 139 Burning Basel (Part 1)
Chapter 139: Burning Basel (Part 1)
The sun is particularly bright today, and it seems that even this winter day is infected and a little angry.
Duke John led his troops and finally walked out of the Belfort Mountains. This mountain range that the dog raised was the only adjective that John wanted to say.
However, everything was fine. Most of the troops left the mountains, leaving only a few troops behind to ensure the safety of the logistics line. Moreover, the entire mountains fell back into the hands of the Burgundians and would not give the Western Qin people any opportunity to take advantage of.
"Western Qin? The cunning nation born from which barren land, they only use some despicable means, but never dare to compete with us head-on. Today, my warriors, you must use their blood to prove your glory." Wherever John's eyes are, the darkness is full of Burgundy soldiers. Although it is not uniform at all, a murderous aura and a bloodthirsty desire are definitely not comparable to some farmers who have just picked up their weapons.
"Glory, Glory, Glory" Tens of thousands of Burgundian soldiers responded, and their voices spread to the sky and the earth.
"Basel is ahead, no, Basel cannot stop us at all. It is Switzerland, Bern, my warriors, show your swords and send all enemies who dare to block you into hell." John also drew out his sword, with a cold light shining, pointing to the sky slanted.
"Hell Hell Hell" In the eyes of these Burgundian soldiers, it seems that only hell is the destination of the Western Qin people, and it is not suitable for aliens to survive in the sun.
"Warriors, killing God is watching us. We don't need cowardice, we don't need mercy, we just need..."
"Kill and kill"
The sound of shouts of killing swept into Basel. This was the effect John wanted. He wanted the people of Western Qin to feel that they were afraid of something and that they knew that Burgundy was invincible.
"Report" was just as the Burgundian soldiers were still shouting and roaring, the voice of a scout could not enter John's ears at all. It was not until the scout ran to John's side that the grand duke discovered that there was such a person.
"What's the matter?" John was still enjoying this feeling. The feeling of accepting tens of thousands of soldiers was like worshipping was the dream in every man's heart. Of course, if he was accompanied by the enemy's wail at this time, the feeling would be even more wonderful.
"Sir, Basel, Basel..." The scout didn't seem to know how to state this fact: "There are no Western Qin people in Basel."
"There are no Western Qin people," John had not turned around for a moment, "What's the situation without enemies?"
Just kidding, his speech that was so passionate that he had just adjusted the "passion" of all Burgundian soldiers. Now someone told him that there were no enemies in Basel. Isn't this equivalent to a heavy punch hitting the air?
"I don't know, I only know that there are not only Western Qin people in Basel, but also not even a single figure." The scout was not stupid. He knew that the news was not very good for the Grand Duke, so he was careful, for fear that he would offend him again.
"Damn it, Philip." The grand duke turned his head and looked at his son: "Take three thousand men and follow me into the city. The other soldiers will wait outside the city first."

Grand Duke John was now holding a big breath in his heart.
This time he led his army to conquer Switzerland. First, Betan and Dassault took the initiative but were captured unexpectedly, which led to the disadvantage of the entire attack front. Joan of Arc was probably rescued by the Western Qin people. Then, his most trusted general Claude was unknown in his life and death, and the entire Belfort's strategic move was completely given to the Western Qin people. Finally, he was attacked by new Western Qin weapons in the Belfort Mountains. If he had not calculated that the other party's weapons did not have much stock, he might have considered how to retreat to ensure the integrity of his army.
Until now, I finally finally had the opportunity to fight the damn Western Qin people head-on. I and my army were also working hard to fight to the death with the Western Qin people, but I found that the opponent had given up Basel and disappeared. That is to say, the anger in my heart still needs to be held back and didn't know when.
After entering Basel, Grand Duke John found that some of the city gates were empty and even the city gates were missing. The other part of the city gates were also broken and could not play a role in blocking the enemy. There were a large number of wood piled up on the inside of each city gate. It seemed that the people of the Western Qin Dynasty had not had time to repair them.
There was no sense of popularity in the entire city, just as the scout said, now the entire Basel is empty, and even the common people don’t know where to go.
Philip looked at the messy houses around him, as if they had just been demolished half, and were filled with wood and other materials, as if they were preparing to repair the house.
The shadow of the war just dispersed everywhere. After all, the Burgundians also knew that it was because of the attack on Basel that Betton and Dassault were robbed and could not retreat. So they did not find anything strange about this dilapidated castle.
"It seems that they retreated in panic." Philip said, pointing to the tents around him, the cooking utensils inside were still there, and there was even half a leftover bread.
Not to mention the scheming Grand Duke John, even Philip, who had not experienced any kind of situation, did not think that when he learned that there was no one in Basel, he did not think that the Western Qin people were forced to retreat because of fear. Because the previous fight made them clearly know that the Western Qin was not a timid nation. On the contrary, they became fierce and even the Burgundians had to take a step back.
If the Western Qin did not fight a war, he would voluntarily give up the entire Swiss portal and let Switzerland open directly in front of the Burgundians, no one would do this.
Therefore, the first reaction of the Burgundians was that the Western Qin people were cheating. But they really didn't know where the fraud was. It was precisely because of this that Grand Duke John personally entered the city, trying to find some traces in the city.
But the problem is that when you see it, you can see some commonly used objects everywhere, scattered and discarded. No matter how you think about it, you can imagine the scene of the army here fleeing in panic.
"Order, the army will temporarily camp in Basel today. At the same time, send more scouts to investigate the surrounding situation." Grand Duke John said.
Although the opponent escaped for some reason, it was a fact that he gave Basel to himself. Since this is the case, John believed that he had nothing to be suspicious and stationed in Basel, not to mention that they wanted to attack Switzerland, and Basel was an important logistics node for the Burgundians. The Burgundians could not give up Basel because the Western Qin people were unclear and also gave up this strategic node that was quite critical for them.
"Before the movements of the Western Qin army, we will station in Basel and find their large troops." John said to Philip, and then led his personal guards to the lord's fortress in the center of Basel...
