I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 162: Run!

"I will be crowned king (!

Compared with the bloody, roaring Western Front battlefield, the northern side of the Empire's siege position was immersed in eerie silence at this moment.

With cigarettes and propellants in their mouths, the soldiers slowly formed defensive formations along the fortifications in accordance with conventions and instructions. The officers who used to use verbal abuse to give orders were rarely "gentle" and did not urge these to be clearly coped with. subordinate to the matter - because from top to bottom, no one feels they need to "defend" anyone.

Just a few minutes ago, Sir Thaddo sent an infantry regiment to attack the northern defense line of Black Reef Harbor. The vanguard who occupied the gap in the position was still killing you and me with more than 2,000 vassals...

Even if the Clovis killed the vassals, the first thing to do should be to rush to the Black Reef Port or continue to defend the position. Why is there any need to fish with them...the reserve team who stayed behind?

But the silence did not last long.

"There is a situation!"

Accompanied by the gunshots and shouts of killing from the gunpowder, an imperial knight with a keen sense of hearing suddenly turned his head and shouted nervously behind him: "All alert!"

The rapid drum beat was played, and a full-line private company quickly assembled behind the knights, forming a compact four-row line. The skirmishers that appeared.

Although the Clovis people have always been ridiculed as "rigid" and "rigid", in fact, the empire's infantry discipline is not really without progress. It is also aimed at the Clovis wide line, column assault and skirmish line attack development. Various countermeasures have been developed.

It's just that in the grand scene with the strength of the cavalry and the coverage of artillery fire, this little improvement doesn't have much sense of existence at all, and even the empire itself does not pay much attention to this aspect of training.

The smoke around them blocked their vision, and the compact lines seemed to be raised reefs in this sea of ​​smoke; as long as the larger waves could engulf them and beat them into scattered red foam.

The sound of gunshots and shouts of killing was getting closer and faster; the imperial knight standing in front of the line held the hilt at his waist with his right hand, and the temples under the helmet jumped to stimulate his nerves.

"Prepare-"

Under the tense command, the line soldiers hurriedly raised their weapons to aim at the smoke on the front and two wings.

Suppressing his increasingly rapid breathing, the imperial knight pulled out his saber with a sound of "呲呷!". The sharp blade stood in front of him, just stuck in the line of sight, not moving at all.

Suddenly, a dazzling reflection flashed past him.

Without hesitation, the moment the blade fell, the knight with a distorted face used all his strength to roar:

"Fire!"

The thunderous volley of gunfire exploded behind him, and the golden-red gun flame was extremely eye-catching in a sea of ​​smoke, like a street lamp that suddenly brightened under the night sky, attracting the surrounding darkness.

With the help of the firelight, the knight realized what a fatal mistake he had made—hundreds of figures tore through the layers of smoke, as if finding a pack of wolves like prey, killing them from the flanks.

Without any warning, the advance army, which had not received any effective resistance, smashed through the "peripheral line of defense" formed by the disbanded vassal army, and directly ran over the face of Sir Sado's reserve.

In order to ensure maximum "concealment", Anson even ordered all soldiers except the guard company not to open fire, and only allowed to use bayonets to respond to the enemy before the official engagement... Attack the defensive positions with a complete defense system and firepower network arrangement, once exposed, The end is to be repeatedly ravaged by countless intersecting firepower points, until dozens or hundreds of corpses are thrown down, and even more corpses are smashed into the trenches.

It turns out that he really thinks too much.

The reserve team who stayed behind did not consider the possibility of being "attacked" at all. Many soldiers didn't even reload their ammunition until they heard the gunshots from the front row, and only after completing the steps did they find that there were two rounds in the barrel of the gun. buckshot.

By the time they were finally about to fire back with their guns, a dozen skirmishers had followed the trenches to the side, and several rounds of shooting and bayonet raids had smashed the lines that had not really unfolded.

Although the Imperial officers finally realized that they had been raided and began to set up defenses, the entire position was already a mess, and the order could not be conveyed at all - the entire position was almost killed by Lisa's guards!

More than 200 soldiers of the guard company came up like a steam train, and the whistle sounded like the call of death; Borny rifles sniped, grenades opened the way, smoke bombs closed points, shotguns swept away, and revolvers were close to cover. Flanks and rear...

Faced with a more complex firepower system than a normal grenadier regiment, each with at least three weapons each could be called a "mini army" guard company, the Imperial soldiers who were caught off guard had no room to fight back.

Of course, such an army is the only one in the Storm Division—the training standards are on par with Captain Lisa Bach, every encounter is a "performance assessment", and all those who are not fast enough and can't keep up with their reactions are lucky. If it is not good enough, it will be eliminated actively or passively.

While the guard company was crushing head-on, the follow-up troops began to attack in all directions, completely annihilating or expelling the defeated army from the battlefield, destroying defense facilities and logistics everywhere by the way, and preventing the enemy from making a comeback.

"Keep attacking!"

Kicked down the corpse whose head had been knocked off by himself, Anson ran wildly and shouted at the surrounding: "Don't waste time here, where is your company commander?! Go to your company commander and assemble as soon as possible, charge, continue to charge! "

"Don't stop, our target is the enemy's headquarters!"

Looking at the back of the commander-in-chief waving the Clovis flag and knocking down one enemy after another, the eyes of the vanguard soldiers who were still instinctively cleaning the battlefield instantly turned red, and after the speed of light assembled, they followed at a right angle.

The raid of the advance army is a first-mover advantage, and it does not really form any crush on the imperial army; therefore, once it starts, it must not be stopped, and it must not be turned back halfway, otherwise it will easily be double-teamed by the superior forces on the opposite side. Or become the target of cavalry wanton hunting.

Only a non-stop attack can create pressure on the enemy, forcing them to decide whether to continue to attack the Black Reef Port or turn their attention to the advance army.

Either give up the siege, or wait for the headquarters to be rushed... Bernard may not lose, but either one is Anson's blood.

So under the dark smoke of gunpowder, the soldiers of the Imperial Line stared at the terrified eyes, and looked at the gunfire and bayonet that rushed towards them like a pack of wolves; and rushed up with them, there was the simple and easy to understand bloodthirsty sound:

"Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!"

…………

"Prepare to retreat."

Looking at the already messed up defensive position in front of him, Sir Sardo calmly gave orders to the surrounding officers.

"retreat?!"

"It's 'preparing' to retreat... Pay attention to the full meaning of my words." Ser Sado glanced at the officer who interrupted him, and the latter shrugged slightly:

"The reserve team is no longer saved. This is the last viable force of our entire northern front. Losing them means that the flank of the main offensive position has been completely exposed-unless there is an immediate situation that can reverse the situation, this black reef will be We have lost the siege of Hong Kong."

"But we have sent an infantry regiment to attack the northern defense line of Black Reef Harbor, and the western side of Lord Bernard's main attack is about to make progress!" The officer expressed his incomprehension:

"If you retreat at this time, wouldn't you sell them to the Clovis people?!"

"That's what I call a situation that can 'turn the tide'."

Sir Sado remained calm: "The news from the Western Front battlefield, the Clovis abandoned the original line of defense and built multiple positions on the reverse **** behind it - since they can think of setting it on the west side, why not the north side? possible?"

"A regiment, or even a battalion, with a considerable number of artillery pieces, they can easily intercept the infantry regiment we sent to test; as for Lord Bernard... You think that if the flank is attacked, he will continue to attack with his character. city?"

With the cautious and cautious character of Bernard Morwis? Absolutely impossible.

This is not one person, but the common voice of all officers.

If he wasn't careful enough, he would never have waited until there was nothing he could do before attacking Grey Dove Castle, and he would not start besieging Black Reef Harbor until May; thinking about pleasing the army, but not daring to offend the local forces too much... not tossing to the limit. It was foolproof, and he didn't even dare to settle in Yangfan City easily, for fear of being shot to death by the thugs to follow in the footsteps of his predecessors.

Therefore, the turning point of the battle situation was whether the attack on the north side of the Black Reef Port could be successfully carried out.

Thinking of this, the officers present raised their heads one after another and looked in the same direction tacitly, as if vaguely expecting something.

Then, they finally saw...

"Boom-!! Boom-!! Boom-!! Boom-!!"

Huge golden-red fireballs bloomed grandly on the rolling hills, and they were still dazzling even on the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke.

The stunned officers froze in place, looking at each other in dismay.

Ser Sadow sighed softly, and there was a bit of loss in his sharp eyes.

He originally had high hopes for this infantry regiment. He didn't even need to actually break through the defense line of Black Reef Harbor. As long as he could actually threaten the enemy's flank, the siege battle was already half won, but now...

"Prepare to retreat." Sir Sado said again:

"Try to gather your troops, leave all unnecessary baggage and leave the battlefield as quickly as possible... I will lead the cuirassiers to break the backs for you, but it will only take fifteen minutes. If you haven't retreated by then, pray for the protection of the Ring of Order. ."

Pray for the ring of order, let the reinforcements of the Clovis be delayed for a while... He secretly said in his heart.

…………

Not only the imperial army on the north side, but Alexei, who was struggling under the empire's wave-by-wave offensive, and the officers of the Black Reef Harbor militia were equally astonished to see the empire smashed into scum. The north side of the fort suddenly lit up with fire, and the entire line of defense turned into a piece of scorched earth, and nothing was left.

When the smoke and dust of the explosion dissipated, countless screams could be heard from the ruins. Hundreds of imperial soldiers in blue and white uniforms fled around the field, and their weapons, including the iris flag, were thrown on the ground by them. He was chased and killed by the sappers who gathered nearby.

Even if they were separated by a considerable distance, they could feel how tragic the scene was, and they could also hear the screams like killing pigs.

This... what the **** happened?

Fifteen minutes later, Alexei finally got a general idea of ​​what happened from the triumphant tone of a "violent sapper" who wielded a blood-stained shovel and claimed to have chopped off three imperial soldiers' heads:

The imperial army outside the city sent an infantry regiment to attack the ruins of the fort. Senator Pushwood, who heard the gunshots, resolutely ran away, and threw a few artillery pieces and 4,000 sappers on the spot that had just been dug out of the ruins.

The sappers were obviously panicked and wanted to run but couldn't carry a few heavy artillery pieces—Pushwood had taken a carriage when he fled—so a few miners had an idea and stuffed all the gunpowder left in the digging pit into the sappers. cannon.

But before they could make a move, the Imperial Line soldiers had already killed them; facing the enemy's artillery, these soldiers took out nails and hammers according to their previous habits, and nailed the breech block to prevent the defenders from continuing to rely on them to threaten the peace. The flank of the rebel army.

"And then... bang!"

The engineer made an exaggerated gesture with both hands, and sprayed Alexei's face with a slightly forceful tone: "One hundred... no! There are at least two hundred imperial people, and they just flew up!"

Very good, that is to say, the flank is completely safe, and there is no need to worry about being attacked by the empire, and the commander-in-chief of the raid has also attracted the attention of most of the enemy - in other words, it is time for his own counterattack!

As the commander-in-chief of the advance army, sound the horn of the official counter-offensive of Heijiao Port!

After wiping the saliva on his face and adding the saliva to the plasma, Alexey thought a little excitedly; he took a deep breath, and supported the panting adjutant's shoulder, Qi Yu walked out of the trench, looking down at the surrounding area and still gathering Soldiers by his side.

"The storm division, and the soldiers of the Free Confederation, time is running out, and I can't give you a long speech!"

He drew his saber and shouted like Anson did during the counter-offensive at Port Carindia: "The Imperials' attack is over, now it's our turn to attack!"

"Pick up your weapons, rush up with me, and drive away all the imperial people who invaded your homeland..."

"Captain!"

Before the end of Alexei's speech, the adjutant suddenly shouted and pointed to the position not far away in astonishment: "Look, the imperial people are running away!"

"Nonsense! When we launch a counterattack and cooperate with the cross-fire blockade, can they still... eh?!"

Alexey, who finally realized that something was wrong, stopped abruptly, and before he could reprimand the adjutant, he hurriedly looked in the direction pointed by the other party, his eyes widened:

"Run?!"

"Why now...why are you running now!"
