    Chapter 139 The Burning of Basel (Part 1)

    The sunshine today is particularly bright, and it seems that even this winter day has been infected with more vitality.

    Duke John led his troops and finally walked out of the Belfort Mountains. This dog|songy mountain range was the only adjective John wanted to say.

    However, everything is fine. Most of the troops have left the mountains, leaving only a few troops in the rear to ensure the safety of the logistics line. Moreover, the entire mountain range has fallen into the hands of the Burgundians again.  What opportunities will the people of Western Qin take advantage of?

    "Western Qin? What kind of cunning nation was born from this barren land? They only use some despicable means, but they never dare to compete with us head-on. Today, my warriors, you have to use their blood to prove  "Your glory." Wherever Archduke John could see, he saw a phalanx of Burgundian soldiers. Although they were not uniform at all, there was a murderous aura and a bloodthirsty desire. They were definitely not some who had just taken up arms.  farmers can be compared.

    "Glory, glory, glory" tens of thousands of Burgundian soldiers echoed, and their voices spread to the sky and the earth.

    "Ahead is Basel. No, Basel can't stop us at all. Ahead is Switzerland, Bern. My warriors, show your swords and send all enemies who dare to stand in front of you to hell.  "John also drew out his sword, with the cold light shining, and pointed at the sky.

    "Hell hell hell" In the eyes of these Burgundian soldiers, it seems that only hell is the destination of the Western Qin people, and the sun is not suitable for foreigners to survive.

    "Warriors, the God of Death is watching us. We don't need cowardice or mercy, we just need"

    "Kill kill kill"

    Waves of killing cries echoed into the city of Basel. This was the effect John wanted. He wanted the people of Western Qin to feel what they were afraid of, and wanted them to know that Burgundy was invincible.  of.

    "Report" While the Burgundian soldiers were still shouting and roaring, a scout's voice could not reach John's ears at all. It was not until the scout ran to John's side that the Grand Duke realized that there was such a famous person.

    "What's going on?" John was still enjoying this feeling. This feeling of accepting tens of thousands of soldiers as if they were worshiping was the dream in every man's heart. Of course, if this was coupled with the enemy's wailing, the feeling would be even more wonderful.  .

    "My lord, Basel, Basel" The scout seemed not to know how to state this fact: "There are no Western Qin people in the city of Basel."

    "There are no people from Xiqin," John said, not turning around for a while, "Why are there no enemies? What is the situation?"

    Just kidding, his passionate speech just now aroused the "enthusiasm" of all the Burgundian soldiers. Now someone actually tells him that there are no enemies in Basel City. Isn't this equivalent to a heavy punch?  But it hit the air?

    "My subordinates don't know. I only know that there are not only no Western Qin people in Basel City, but not even a single person." This scout was not stupid. He knew from his face that the news was not good for the Grand Duke, so he was cautious, fearing that he  Offended him again.

    "Damn it, Philip." The archduke turned to look at his son: "Take three thousand troops and follow me into the city. The other soldiers will wait outside the city first."

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Archduke John is now holding a lot of anger in his heart.

    This time he led an army to conquer Switzerland. First, two fools, P¨¦tain and Dassault, took the initiative but were accidentally captured. As a result, the entire attack front was at a disadvantage, and Joan of Arc was probably rescued by the Western Qin people. Then,  The life and death of his most trusted general, Claude, was unknown, and the entire Belfort strategic initiative was completely given to the Western Qin people. Finally, in the Belfort Mountains, he was repeatedly harassed by Western Qin's new weapons. If he hadn't calculated the opponent's  There is not much stock of this kind of weapon, so he may have to consider how to retreat now to ensure the integrity of his army.

    Now, finally, I can fight head-on with the damned Western Qin people. I and my army are working hard to prepare for a decisive battle with the Western Qin people. However, I find that my opponent has actually given up on Basel and has no idea where to go.  In other words, I still need to hold back the anger in my heart for who knows how long.

    After entering Basel, Archduke John found that part of the city gates were empty and even the city gates were missing. The other part of the city gates were also in tatters and could not stop the enemy at all.  There are large amounts of wood piled inside each city gate. It seems that the people of Western Qin have not had time to complete the repairs.

    The whole city does not feel a trace of popularity. Just like what the scout said, the whole city is nowBasel is deserted, even the civilians are nowhere to be found.

    Philip looked at the messy houses around him. Many of them looked like they had just been demolished in half, and they were also piled with wood and other materials around them, as if they were preparing to renovate the houses.

    The shadow of the fresh war can be seen everywhere. After all, the Burgundians also know that it was because P¨¦tain and Dassault invaded Basel that their retreat was robbed and there was no way to retreat.  So I didn't find anything strange about this dilapidated castle.

    "It seems that they retreated in a panic." Philip said, pointing to several tents around him. The cooking utensils were still there, and there were even half-eaten leftover flour cakes.

    Not to mention the wily Archduke John, even Philip who had not experienced any battles, when he learned that there was no one in the city of Basel, he did not think that the Western Qin people were forced to retreat out of fear.  .  Because of the previous battle, they clearly knew that Western Qin was not a timid nation. On the contrary, when they were fierce, the Burgundians would even take half a step back.

    "If Western Qin did not fight a war, it would voluntarily give up the entire door of Switzerland and let Switzerland open directly to the Burgundians. This approach would not be done by anyone.

    Therefore, the first reaction of the Burgundians was that the Western Qin people were deceitful.  But as for where the fraud was, they really didn't know. It was precisely because of this that Archduke John entered the city in person, hoping to find some traces in the city.

    But the problem is, what you see is a dilapidated fortress. You can see some commonly used things scattered and discarded everywhere. No matter how much 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, and at the same time, more scouts will be sent around to inquire about the surrounding situation." Archduke John gave the order.

    Although the opponent escaped for some unknown reason, he gave Basel to himself. This is a fact.  In this case, Archduke John thought that he had nothing to be suspicious of, and was stationed in the city of Basel. What's more, they were going to invade Switzerland, and Basel was an important logistics node for the Burgundians.  The Gendians cannot abandon Basel just because the Western Qin people do not know why, nor can they abandon this crucial strategic node for them.

    "Before there is any movement of the Western Qin Army, we will first station ourselves in Basel and look for their large army." John said to Philip, and then, with his personal guards, he rode towards the main fortress in the center of Basel.  at.  .
