Chapter 37 Blood and Fire (1)
The three sides fought in a bloody place. The flames rose and blood sprinkled. It seemed to condense into a Satanic grin in the sky. I glanced at the people fighting below, enjoying the feeling of the soul flying.
The Swiss camp was like a strong bull, roaring and snarling by a group of hungry jackals, and pounced on the ground. The bull had only brute force, but could only resist the biting of the jackals, whipping left and right, but he could not shake off the sharp teeth of the wolves.
Andreas was swaying and barely opening his eyes. He wanted to ask who was disturbing his Qingmeng, but when he opened his eyes, he found that his tent was full of fire. His alcoholism immediately woke up halfway. Several personal guards hurriedly protected him, seized the way and left, looking for some troops that began to assemble.
Compared to his younger brother, Alberto was still very alert. He found someone attacking the camp outside. He quickly kicked away the two women lying on him, put on his body armor, and rushed to the camp of his guard troops. Along the way, he had no time to wear shoes, and he didn't care about the pain in his soles. When he saw a guard, he took off his armor and dressed himself up like an ordinary guard soldier.
This time, the Xiqin side was ambushed for two hours in the middle of the night. In order to wait for the best attack time, they endured a gust of cold wind in this late autumn bush, especially as they had just come out of the water, their bodies were not completely dry. When they were blown by the cold wind, they would not be able to bear it no matter how strong they were.
Fortunately, this was just an autumn night, not a snowy winter. Most of these elite soldiers could withstand it, especially after they rushed into the ignited camp in Switzerland, these rolling flames were no different from death talismans in the eyes of the Swiss, but in the eyes of the Western Qin people who had been frozen for a long time, it was the warm embrace of their relatives. When they first rushed into the camp, their bodies were still a little stiff, but under the scorching flames of this flame, the Western Qin soldiers felt that they were all comfortable and full of energy. Facing the Swiss people who had just woken up, had a disheveled armor and were full of fear, they could only call it one-sided massacre at the beginning.
However, no matter how great the advantage was at the beginning, it was not easy to make up for the gap in numbers. Originally, Bai Zhou had not considered letting all the soldiers of Xiqin participate in this battle, but if this was done, first, the whereabouts of Xiqin's side this time would inevitably be impossible to hide. The remaining Swiss scouts near Warren would definitely report the news of their army dispatch to the other side of the river to make them prepare. Unlike now, Bai Zhou concealed the world and made the scouts think that they were just out of the city for another walk without knowing it
The Qin people in Shixi divided half of the elites and crossed the river. Second, this kind of sneak attack at night requires much higher quality of individual soldiers than large-scale group operations in the field. In the field, if there are many people and efficient command, it can completely determine the victory or defeat of a battle. If there are fewer people and odd ones, it can only be done occasionally in the field. Even if the individual soldiers are strong, they still need to meet various times and places. For example, the last time the Western Qin fought with the Austrian Marquis, if there were no Baba behind the Western Qin.
Rosa was in the formation. If the Marquis had not been killed first, the Western Qin side might not have achieved such impressive results. If sneak attacks like this now, if both sides were in line to fight in the daytime, even if the elite soldiers of the Western Qin side could each fight ten, this is a wheel battle, one by one, fighting against the Western Qin soldiers. If they were really placed on the battlefield, three or four enemies would surround and attack a Western Qin soldier, then the Western Qin soldiers would have to be defeated. But if the situation is like this now-
At night, the requirements for the quality of individual soldiers were greatly improved, because in this environment, only a few enemies could truly stabilize their positions, and most of them were fighting each other, without arbitrarily speaking, the role of the commander was greatly reduced. And only God knows how much combat power the two thousand mercenaries and prisoners on the Western Qin side could exert in such an environment where they fight on their own. If some of the Swiss prisoners found that they had their former companions in the camp, they might turn against each other on the spot.
In the current battlefield, more than a thousand soldiers from the Western Qin side, from south to north, killing step by step; three thousand soldiers from Frank side, from north to south, steadily advancing. The entire north and south sections of the Swiss camp were completely collapsed, and the remaining Swiss soldiers either fled in all directions or began to concentrate in the center of the camp. Here, Andreas was also ready. With his pro-guard as the core, all the Swiss people gathered from all directions began to calm down. Under the blow of a cold wind and a heat wave, they were trembling and ready to fight. Many of them had no idea where the weapons in their hands had been thrown. They had just broken a piece of wooden stick as a weapon. As for the armor on their bodies, there was no trace of them. There were not many of these Swiss people even with clothes.
Although Andreas is still wondering why he couldn't find his brother, he didn't care too much. Although his brother's tent was also in the center, there was no danger, but in the heart of the Count, he was happy that his brother was in danger. At this time, Alberto was wearing a armor of a guard. In the dark night, no one could see his face clearly, so he deliberately did not reveal his identity. After all, at first, he thought that someone had killed him on a large scale.
When he entered the camp, he was afraid of death, so he put on a set of soldiers' armor and wanted to escape in the chaos. But now he found that there were only a few thousand enemies and there was no need to escape at all. But now he was wearing such an ordinary armor for a guard. If he was exposed, he would definitely be laughed at by others, especially his younger brother. The marquis simply took advantage of the darkness to become a guard, thinking that he would wait until he could repel these invaders and then return to the camp to change his clothes.

"Young master, do you still have to continue attacking?" Mengge wiped the sweat from his face and asked Bai Zhou. At this time, they could already see the Swiss people gathered not far away in front of him.
In fact, until now, the Xiqin side has a great advantage, and the number of enemies killed has far exceeded their own number. In other words, each person has at least two or three Swiss blood on his hands, and his own losses can be said to be minimal. Even if he retreats now, no one can blame this record for mistakes.
However, we must also see that the Swiss have lost only 10,000 people now, but the center of the camp has gathered at least tens of thousands of Swiss troops. In other words, most of the Swiss have fled because of the sudden attack and at a loss. If the Western Qin people waved their hands to retreat at this time, then these fleeing Swiss troops will definitely return here the next day, which means that the Western Qin did not cause substantial harm to the Swiss. The loss of tens of thousands of people is a serious blow to Switzerland, but it is definitely not fatal.
"Young Master, I just ordered people to set fire to the Swiss granary, but they reported that the Swiss didn't have much food left." The lieutenant rushed over from the other side, with a carbon black on his face.
After Warren was captured by Western Qin, the Swiss did not carry enough food. The food they carried with them could only be enough for five or six days. They were only forced to reduce the rations by Alberto, and they went to search for some of the surrounding villages, so it was common sense that there was not much inventory in the Swiss warehouse. It was a pity that if Diticon could last for two more days, these Swiss people could have completely broken themselves. But the current situation is that the Germans surrendered the letter. Such a good offensive opportunity tonight, except for Frank and some troops, the rest of the Germans were still unmoved. Their attitude was clearly sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
The troops of the Western Qin side were still slowly approaching the Swiss Central Camp. At this time, every step forward, the Swiss resistance became stronger, and Bai Zhou was also thinking about whether to advance or retreat.
