Chapter 35 Adams' Rebellion
Now the city of Dororeal has turned into a pot of porridge, with shouts of killing everywhere, civilians on the streets hiding everywhere, and some places are on fires.
Lance took two personal guards and carefully touched the north gate of the 1st regiment station outside the city. Claude and Angela followed them not far away. Now they are convinced of the fact that the rebellion was exposed and don't know how far things have gone. They are afraid of death and make them want to make a last try, so they are desperate. They rushed to the 1st Infantry Regiment, hoping that it was not yet occupied, which was their only hope.
Along the way, Lance was surprised to find that Melt did not have martial law in the whole city. He still didn't know that it was because Melt did not trust the city defense and deliberately gave the order until they came to the North Gate. Except for several security teams fighting with several city guards, Lance and Claude did not encounter any danger. .
At the gate, a team of city guards who had not received martial law orders were making a lot of money. Some civilians and small businessmen near the north gate were afraid of being killed and fled to the north gate to get out of the city, so these city guards blackmailed large gold coins and let them go.
Claude asked Lance and three people to follow him, took Angela forward, and handed over all the gold coins and jewelry on his body to the city guard. The city guard also recognized Claude, the big businessman in front of him. After being polite, he collected money and let him go, which made Lance a false alarm.
In the middle of the night, the city guard finally received Melt's order, which was strange and made the city guard destroy the security team. It turned out that the pastor Melt thought he was smart and thought of a clever plan. He felt that the city guard and the security team were not reliable, but there was no way to put them there, so he let the two armed forces fight, so that no matter who won, he could master it well.
In fact, he did guess correctly that the security team had been bribed. At this time, he was trying to control a few blocks and protect the safety of merchants, and some of the city guards also decided to stay still to see the limelight, but some of the city guards resolutely carried out the order of the great priest, and they launched an advance to the security team. Attack, chaos further expanded, and the security team had to release the news that the city guard openly robbed, and the security team was ordered to suppress it, so the two sides fought in the city.
Looking at the city getting more and more chaotic, Melt felt that things were a little out of control, and he had Crewe recalled.
"Clouzer, have you found Lance's body?" As soon as they met, Melt asked anxiously that their only chance of winning now was to kill Lance.
"There are too many bodies and haven't been found yet. My people are searching carefully." Kruzer believed that Lance had died in the scuffle at the headquarters, but his body was not found.
"So what should we do now? There are still some rebel merchants in the city who are resisting. The 1st Regiment outside the city has not moved yet. In case they launch an attack, we will die.
"Calm down, Reverend, you should now send a city defense force to defend the city wall and close the gate until we catch all the rebels." Kruse said.
"The city defense force is not reliable at all. Chief Kruse, please divide some of your people to defend the city wall." Melt said.
"Now my group is very scattered and basically can't be effectively scheduled. I'll try my best." Kruse said.
"You'd better send someone to report to the neighboring provinces, and you'd better ask Commander Torres to bring someone to save us." Melt said, "I also wrote a few letters for help and sent them together."
The two just sent the messenger away before they could continue to assign tasks.
"Your Excellency, the deputy head of the regiment found that there were a large number of armed men hidden in Count Claude's mansion, and he sent me to come to you and ask what to do." A soldier rushed into the religious center and reported to Kruse.
"Hahaha, Your Excellency the Great Pastor." Kruzer smiled and said, "It seems that the culprit of this rebellion has been found, and Lance may also be there."
Pulling out his sword, Kruse ordered: "Follow me who can find us. Let's go to Claude's house, captain. You lead some people to the city gate and defend there."
The commander looked back at his three soldiers and didn't know which gate the regimental commander asked him to guard.
Kruze led the soldiers of the 2nd Infantry Regiment collected everywhere and killed all the way to Claude's mansion and joined the soldiers there. He finally made up about 1,000 people. Then, under the leadership of the two chiefs and two regimental commanders, these soldiers began to attack Claude's mansion.
One is a rebel who has lost effective command, and one side is an imperial soldier who has been exhausted for most of the night. The two sides began a life-and-death battle between you and me. The soldiers of the 2nd Regiment attacked fiercely because of the regiment commander in person, and the people inside fought desperately to defend, and the two sides were deadlocked for a while.
On the other side, Lance, who escaped alive to the garrison of the 1st Regiment, immediately gathered his army and led the whole regiment to rush to the north gate of Dororeal. The city guard who guarded the city dared not resist and was quickly disarmed.
Lance's analysis of the war situation is much more professional than Kruzer's. He is not in a hurry to control the situation, so he did not blindly disperse his troops like the 2nd Regiment. On the contrary, he found the most important must-have places in the chaos. He led the 1st Regiment to kill the religious institute.
"Soldiers, let me go! Catch Melt alive!" When the whole regiment came quietly to a few hundred meters away from the religious center, Lance shouted and led the soldiers to launch a rapid attack.
There were only a few dozen guards in the protection religion. They didn't expect that there would be so many enemy troops to suddenly attack. Soon they lost the outer wall and retreated to the house to defend, hoping to withstand the enemy's attack with a narrow passage.
Lance did not come to drink tea. He directly ordered the fire. The 2nd Regiment was still around. What Lance needed was to quickly solve these scattered enemies one by one. He didn't have time to spend here and wait for the 2nd Regiment to regroup.
In the early morning, the religion was burned. More than 70 guards guarding the religious institute, together with more than a dozen gods and disciples, and the high priest Melt, were burned alive.
The scout came back to report that the main force of the 2nd Regiment was attacking the Earl of Claude's Mansion and found the regimental commander Kruzer. So Reims rushed to Claude's mansion without stopping.
The battle at Claude's mansion is coming to an end. Kruse's soldiers have invaded the mansion and killed most of the rebels. Only sporadic resistance continues, but what makes Cruze uneasy is that he still can't find Lance.
His 2nd Regiment was scattered in all corners of the city, some were robbing, some were killing people, and the soldiers around him were all the forces he could command. They were busy all night, and the soldiers who had fought two tough battles looked exhausted.
Just as Kruzer issued an order to gather troops, there was a sudden shout of killing behind him. Lance's army arrived. Cruze couldn't figure out the situation and commanded the soldiers around him to turn back to fight. As a result, the tired 2nd Regiment soldiers were not the opponents of the 1st Regiment who entered the battle in the middle of the night and were quickly defeated.
Kruze looked bad and retreated with the defeated soldiers. In the chaos, he was stabbed to death by Lance.
In the early morning, most of the 2nd Regiment was wiped out and the rest surrendered. A day later, the 23rd Army took control of Adams Province, and Pastor Tukas was captured alive and hanged by angry merchants in public.
It is said that the chaotic expedition of Adams' melee officially broke out.
