I Will Be The Crowned King

Remember for a second【】

Heart-piercing shouts exploded over the northern position, and under the banner of King Clovis, nearly a thousand storm division soldiers quickly entered the position, and instinctively launched a defensive formation.

The two line infantry battalions spread out in parallel from east to west, shoulder to shoulder to form a firing line, skillfully loading ammunition in the sound of officers' orders; skirmish companies and guard companies spread out over the entire position, entering more concealed Temporary foxholes and craters dug outside of bunkers or trenches.

This not only expands the field of fire, so that the advance corps guarding the position has a larger range of defense and reconnaissance; at the same time, it also avoids the possibility of too many people being crowded, and the possibility of all members ascending to the sky by a salvo of enemy artillery fire.

Almost at the same time as the advance army was deployed, a blue-bottomed star-ring flag slowly rose on the originally "empty" Heijiaogang defense line - the originally isolated and helpless Heijiaogang position suddenly became a protruding part. , a fortified fortress that bisected the siege position.

"And this is the key to letting the black reef port, which is out of ammunition and food, block the siege of the empire and persist until the reinforcements arrive!"

Under the banner of King Clovis, Anson with a smug face looked at the imperial soldiers who were being used like a tide, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly:

"The core of siege warfare is not just 'encirclement'. In order to overcome the enemy's fortifications, at least two goals must be achieved: first, to keep the enemy isolated and completely surrounded, and second, to enable the soldiers in charge of the siege to be able to Attack in one direction without distraction."

"As a city, Black Reef Harbor is almost a natural fortress, with no weak openings other than the port; then defending it is simple: make a bulge strong enough to match the firepower in the direction of the fortress, while reducing defenses pressure!"

"If the enemy wants to be safe and unaffected, they must take down the bulge position, but this will inevitably expose the back and flanks in front of the defense line; and if they ignore the bulge and forcibly attack the city, they must be exposed to the defense line and the bulge at the same time. Under the double firepower of the Ministry."

"The most perfect and 'exquisite' part of this plan is that our bulge is built on top of the original siege position, and it is the center connecting the two siege positions in the east and west!"

"Bernard Morwis, he now has only two options: either destroy us decisively and quickly, or he can only retreat and withdraw the siege position on the Eastern Front that has been cut off - not only reducing the city's defense pressure , while leaving plenty of battlefield space for incoming reinforcements."

"In other words, we only need to survive the first round of the enemy's offensive, and there will be no suspense in the defense of the Black Reef Harbor! Just come down and go straight in, conquer Gray Pigeon Castle, capture Sail City, and completely expel the Empire. New world."

"The star-ringed flag on a blue background, which symbolizes independence, will fly freely on the land that was originally enslaved!"

At the end of the speech, Anson, who was still unfinished, glanced proudly to his side, waiting for the cheers and applause as always.

But perhaps because of being too nervous or busy, the storm division soldiers present did not give him the commander-in-chief's face, and focused their attention completely on the surroundings, completely unaware that they had missed a wonderful game. 's speech. …

As for a certain sergeant who is the company commander of the guard company... Lisa, who was lying in the bunker in the trench, was trying so hard to see the enemy in her field of vision. It wasn't until someone finished speaking that her pink ears moved, and she turned her head and glanced at the enemy. On the side, he also blinked cooperatively:

"What?"

Anson Bach: "..."

To be honest, he kind of regretted not bringing the little secretary with him.

Although this "True _ Alan Dawn" is also a strong actor, but this kind of announcement of the plan does not even have a supportive picture, which is too...

"Boom-!!!!"

The deafening roar interrupted Anson's wild thoughts.

The two with big eyes and small eyes didn't have time to be astonished.

"The artillery fire is coming - pay attention to covert!"

………………

Following the angry orders of the Colonial Chief Minister, the sound of artillery shells that shook the earth continuously exploded from the positions on the western side of the Empire.

In the gray-white gunpowder smoke, more than 20 cannons spewed rising flames and smashed everything towards the dome; It rained down around the gap occupied by the advance troops.

For a time, a large swath of blue-white smoke rose from the positions ravaged by artillery fire, many seemingly solid earth walls collapsed, and the cracked gravel rushed to the sky amid the screams of soldiers. The King Lowe flag was also torn to shreds by the blast of the cannonball, but...

"But why did most of the shells fall into the open space north of the gap?!"

Seeing the flickering explosions in the distance, Bernard gnashed his teeth and turned his head to shout at the herald, as if he wanted to devour him alive: "The enemies are hiding in the trenches, what's the point of you blasting the empty space?!"

"Yes, but this is the order you gave before!"

Faced with the anger of the minister in charge, the herald, who was already skilled, slackened his legs on the spot, showing an extremely aggrieved expression: "You want all the coordinates of the artillery to be aimed at the rear of the position, and to avoid accidental injuries, try to avoid the position of the gap— -I did it all!"

"You... don't give me sophistry!"

The angry Bernard was at a loss for words. Of course, he knew that this was his order, in order to cut off the retreat of the advance army and strangle the remaining military forces of Black Reef Harbor near the position:

"Since it is clear that there is a problem with the shelling coordinates, why not modify it immediately?!"

^0^ One second to remember【】

"Because it takes time! You also asked us to immediately launch artillery fire coverage to cover the cavalry and infantry attacks. There is no time to adjust the coordinates!"

The messenger was even more aggrieved, but he also knew that complaining at this time was purely self-destruction, so he cautiously and tentatively asked: "Do you want to adjust the coordinates immediately and launch a new round of shelling?"

"No!"

Bernard turned his head sharply, staring at the gap in the central position: "Now that the enemy has entered the bunker, the effect of the artillery bombardment will be greatly reduced, and it is completely meaningless!"

More importantly, the ammunition is running out... He secretly said in his heart. …

In order to destroy the port and sink the four warships, a quarter of his ammunition was used up. In addition to the consumption of the previous rounds of battles, the artillery reserve of the counter-insurgent army was almost bottomed out. Then perform two or three rounds of rapid-fire shelling coverage.

This meant that even if the advance army occupying the gap was eliminated, he would still have at most one or two chances to storm the Black Reef Harbor under the cover of artillery fire.

Precious shells, not worth wasting on a bunch of **** Clovis heads.

"Inform Sir Sadow, withdraw the cavalry, and replace the infantry and vassals to besiege the advance army!"

Bernard's pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes were full of murderous aura: "Tell him, even if you use people, you have to make up the gaps - don't leave anything alive, kill me!"

"As ordered!"

The messenger, who was stunned all over his body, quickly replied, and galloped toward the battlefield on horseback as if he was fleeing for his life.

Three minutes later, the suffocating artillery fire finally stopped, and then the loud bugle of the imperial army's attack sounded - the battle to decide the life and death of the advance army was just about to begin.

Almost without waiting for the gunfire to end, more than 3,000 imperial soldiers from four infantry regiments on the eastern front were already impatient and took the lead in launching the offensive. .

And their unauthorized actions also caught the main force of the Western Front off guard, and the officers who were still adjusting their deployment were suddenly stunned because they had not received any orders to attack!

Now that the troops on the Eastern Front have launched a general offensive, are they cooperating or not cooperating? If you cooperate, does it also violate the military order?

"The order - the two vassal corps and one line corps of the vanguard of the western front should gather and advance to the north gap to cooperate with the attack on the eastern front."

Looking at the blue-and-white figures and golden iris flags gushing out of the gunpowder, Knight Sado said without hesitation, "Since they have already launched an attack, then we don't need to wait for the minister's order, and act now!"

Because they have no choice... If the advance army cannot be eliminated as soon as possible, not only will they be cut off from the main force on the western front, but the army's flanks will be completely exposed to the firepower of Black Reef Harbor or the advance army, and there is a danger of collapse and overturn at any time!

Under the almost rigid line tactics, the consequences of flanking exposure are absolutely deadly, even more terrifying than turning your back on the enemy - at most you and your front and rear lines will face enemy fire.

But if it is a flank, the entire line is covered by one round of firepower; the enemy's artillery and rifle can be annihilated in "strings" like a roll call, plus the empire's line is already dense... …

A biting chill surged up in the chest of the cuirassier battalion commander. His hands were trembling slightly. He didn't even dare to think about it. what does it mean.

Bernard Morwes is in disrepute, what about them?

Those of them who came from the north and represented the imperial army headed by the interests of the Roland and Bernard families could survive this disaster?

Or a sinner who was dragged into the water by the emperor's white gloves and carried the infamy of the empire's lost colonies? …

No matter which one, I have to make plans early... Sir Sardo, who secretly said in his heart, looked at the battlefield not far away, and slowly pulled out the saber on the saddle, leaving a sharp blade with his waving arm:

"Soldiers - advance!"

As the blade fell, hundreds of vassals, who were messily dressed and wielding crude weapons, rushed out of their positions and rushed towards the opening on the north side where gunfire had been heard everywhere.

Compared with the last attack, these natives and loyal colonists who were raised and exploited by the imperial knights and the Chamber of Commerce as livestock are not only more yellow-faced and thinner than before, but their eyes have long since lost their brilliance, and they are no different from domestic animals. .

The only thing left was the rigid response when obeying the order, and the killing instinct when seeing the enemy - without dodging, he slammed straight into the position guarded by the Marcus company.

Seeing the enemy rushing up so desperately, the startled Marcus did not dare to neglect, and decisively issued a defensive order; more than a hundred storm division line soldiers lined up in two compact rows behind the earth wall, facing the unkempt faces. figure pulls the trigger.

A thunderous salvo sounded from the narrow position, and the golden-red gun flames flickered and extinguished along with the surging thick smoke, in a continuous manner; On the ground, the layers of corpses created countless obstacles for the latecomers.

But to Sir Sadow's relief, even though the offensive was interrupted, the imperial knights in charge of supervising the battle still threatened the vassals with revolvers and sabres to continue the attack-even if they could not break through the defense line, they could consume more stamina and ammunition of the advance army. Divide the opponent's attention and buy time for the general offensive of the Eastern Front Army.

In the face of the all-out imperial army, although the advance army occupied the key terrain, the difference in strength between the two sides was huge; even if it was only on the east front,

^0^ One second to remember【】

The total strength of the attack is also more than three times that of the advance army!

Such a huge disparity in strength is enough to make up for the firepower advantage obtained by relying on Leopold rifles - and at the same time, there is almost a steady stream of vassals who are not afraid of death, and also split a lot of firepower from the advance army.

As for the advance army... Looking at the Clovis unicorn, which was almost surrounded by golden irises in the smoke and dust, a sneer sneered at the corner of Sir Sado's mouth.

That Lieutenant Colonel Alexei Dukasky, who did have insight, or learned from "some sources" the weaknesses of the army's siege positions, and used the advantages of the bulge to divide the imperial army in two, Forcing the Eastern Front to withdraw as soon as possible, and exposing the flanks of the main Western Front to his fire range.

However, he failed to notice a very fatal problem.

That is the distance from the Black Reef Port defense line to the gap on the north side... It's too far!

Although it doesn't seem to be far away, even if he is besieging the advance army from the south, even if the broken guns in Black Reef Harbor have a sufficient range, it is impossible to have much power.

Therefore, the gap he occupies is just a dead place that looks extremely deadly~www.readwn.com~ is actually a dead place hanging outside the original defense system!

Of course, if the defenders of Black Reef Harbor had artillery, this shortcoming would no longer exist; but unfortunately, their only artillery had sunk to the bottom of the sea along with the warships with the previous shelling of the harbor.

With the guts of the traitors of Black Reef Harbor, they would never dare to go out of the city to fight against the Empire, and there is no artillery to provide a wider range of firepower... Alexei Dukasky, his self-conscious move, but the entire advance army completely brought in...

"Boom-!!!!"

With a loud noise, Sir Sado, who was interrupted to think, only had time to see the whistling black shadow rushing into the battlefield filled with gunpowder, blasting people screaming in the sea of ​​golden irises.

Stunned, he turned his head sharply and looked in the direction of the sound; he saw a faint smoke of gunpowder rising from the top of a watchtower on the defense line of Heijiao Harbor in the distance.

That……

Is that a cannon? !

Dear, this chapter is over, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
