I Will Be The Crowned King

At 14:45, it was also 30 minutes after the ruling that the Knights had failed to siege the Beluga Harbor Command. The Storm Legion attacked from the southeast, the Sail City Legion advancing on the east flank, and the defenders in the shooting camp. The Fernando Corps of the Mujahideen Army has been completely surrounded and locked firmly in the middle of a **** that is only slightly undulating.

The goal is extremely clear, Fernando's legion either surrender or die.

Such a clear attitude made the Clovis Crusader Army, who was also besieging the August Armoury Factory and the Supreme Council, resolutely withdraw from the battle, and without looking back, left the "comrades" who were fighting side by side, in order to fight for those who were about to fight. Both sides freed up plenty of space.

Before Arthur Herrede, who was thinking of a duel with Louis Bernard, was not able to get close, he was blocked by the rapid interspersed column of Storm Legion, stuck at the bottom of the hillside and in the middle of the road leading to Long Lake Town; The Sail City Legion took the opportunity to break into the battlefield, and the Storm Legion, which cooperated with the column's assault, blocked the retreat of the Fernando Legion.

In their rear, the remaining colonial militia and shooting corps also moved slowly under the mobilization of the staff, and detoured to the west to arrange a front—while opening the encircling net, beware that the jihadist army might attack from the direction of Changhu Town at any time. 's reinforcements.

Under the continuous sound of gunfire, the earth trembled slightly.

Faced with an encirclement network with almost twice as many troops, the unprepared Fernando Corps could only yell at the Clovis people for being ruthless and ruthless, while organizing the army to defend in place like headless flies, waiting for reinforcements from the town behind them.

The problem is that the position they occupy is only a gentle **** and farmland, there is no natural shelter or protection at all, and the whole army is exposed to the artillery fire of the New World Corps.

In the shooting barracks, Louis Bernard, who had just arrived as the leader of the army, stood on a temporary observation deck and had a panoramic view of the entire battlefield.

On the north side, there are 6,000 shooting corps, 1,000 sailing city hussars and 4,000 line infantry who have just withstood the siege and started a full-scale counterattack. Against the already tattered defensive line on the opposite side.

As the task of stopping the chasing troops from the Fernando Legion, these companies that are destined to confront several times or even ten times the enemy are undoubtedly composed of elite veterans; in the face of the collapsed situation, only they can turn the tide. Avoid the worst.

But it is a pity that what they encountered this time was not an opponent they were familiar with, nor was it a country bandit that could be manipulated at will, but a shooting army who dared to rush in front of the enemy and fired, or even did not fire, and killed it with an axe!

The continuous gunfire swept through the billowing smoke, and the shooting soldiers of the mountain and tsunami collapsed almost in a blink of an eye.

But the fierce and dense array of guns of the Imperial Line Corps could not stop them. They were still trotting on the bones of their companions, maintaining the scattered formation until they approached the distance of 200 meters—the bayonet charge.

"Wow wow wow wow wow wow...!

!

"

In the thunderous shouts of killing, the blood-soaked shooter soldiers waved tomahawks that ripped open the smoke, and rushed straight to the front of the stunned Imperial Line soldiers.

Behind them, the 4,000 line infantry soldiers from Yangfan City were still approaching in a hurry.

The Mujahideen soldiers, realizing that the situation was bad, tried to get out of the battle, but they had no chance... The sound of iron hooves like war drums played on their sides, and a thousand hussars came with their flags!

If it were normal times, these elite veterans would quickly change their formation, from a line to a hollow target to contain the cavalry, but now they can't do it... The shooting army who charged desperately directly disrupted the entire formation, and that was a big and heavy battle. Not to mention the head of the axe, even the body of the gun can easily be cut into two pieces.

In the blink of an eye, the seemingly solid blocking front was completely smashed, and the sabers that hurried in were like a gust of wind sweeping leaves, wanton harvesting the flesh and blood of the defeated soldiers.

In the eastern half of the battlefield, the Storm Legion, which successfully blocked Arthur Herreid, has built a complete line of defense. The scattered six-pounder howitzers are organized in companies to provide fire support for each infantry regiment individually.

This tactic is obviously far inferior to the centralized use of artillery in terms of efficiency output, but the advantage is that it is more active, each regiment can execute combat orders as a relatively independent and complete combat unit, and is better at dealing with emergencies and when necessary. of fighting alone.

Just like now.

The sound of dense and messy footsteps covered the entire low hillside, and Arthur Herreid, who had begun to lose his patience, ordered the entire army to attack frontally, led by skirmishers, and all infantry companies were deployed in six-row phalanx echelons. , like waves of rapid action, intending to destroy the defense line arranged by the Storm Legion with an uninterrupted attack.

In charge of stopping them were Alexei's 2nd Infantry Regiment, and Leo, Commander of the 4th Infantry Regiment.

The relationship between the two is definitely not good, but it is not too bad - both from the Eastern Theater, technically speaking, they were already comrades before joining the Storm Legion; it is precisely because of this that Alexei has a relationship with Leona. The legendary "good luck" is extremely fearful, for fear of becoming a victim of the opponent's brilliant record.

Therefore, he didn't even wait for Ansen Bach's order, and preemptively spread the line of defense in front of the opponent, forcibly squeezed the 4th Infantry Regiment to the rear of his side, and turned it into a reserve;

Leo, who was dumbfounded, could only accept this result and ordered the entire army to deploy skirmish tactics to support the 3rd Infantry Regiment; and Alexei, who was afraid that the opponent would not accept it, simply ordered the entire army to attack and used a counter-charge to repel Yarra. The attack of the al-Hred Crusaders.

So the two sides used the exact same tactics in an extremely "tacit agreement" without saying hello; figures in blue-white and black-red military uniforms covered the entire hillside, interspersed with countless rings of order and three-star rings. The flag, from a distance, looks like thousands of flowers blooming on the burning sea.

In the face of such a situation, Arthur Herreid, who originally thought he was going to fight a positional battle, turned from being caught off guard to infinite ecstasy-compared to the boring, extremely boring line of soldiers and platoons and phalanx charges, the large mode of skirmishing. The melee is obviously easier to quickly open the gap, allowing him to find Louis Bernard for a duel as soon as possible.

Then he discovered that the Clovis on the opposite side was not only brave, but also vicious.

"boom-!

!

boom-!

!

boom-!

The pitch-black shrapnel pierced the sky and exploded in the air on both sides of the "wave formation" of the Mujahideen. Thousands of lead bullets swept the smokeless Imperial line infantry like a violent storm, blasting scarlet fireworks.

Different from the crazy rapid fire of the Clovis that was familiar to the imperial people in the past, this time the artillerymen of the Storm Legion chose a more precise style of play, with a frequency of almost one shot per minute to ensure that the shrapnel can perfectly cover the enemy. position without affecting your own people.

This is of course not because the artillery of the Storm Legion suddenly became enlightened and turned into sharpshooters one by one, but William Gottfried installed a new aiming device of his invention on his howitzer, which could be moved by moving Cursor position, select the position range to hit.

The first to be hit were the cavalry and artillery of the Arthur Hereid Legion.

By the time Arthur Herreid realized that something was wrong, his few three-pounder guns were running out... He could only hope that the infantry could stand out from the artillery fire and open a gap as soon as possible.

It is very unfortunate that on the track of "skirmish tactics", his legion is obviously in a very disadvantageous position; the empire that has never cared about infantry, let alone skirmishers, is simply treating the infantry as a "chopping block" to maintain the front and suppress the enemy. "To use it, it has always been artillery and cavalry who are really responsible for killing and breaking through.

In the face of the enemy's accurate and terrifying artillery bombardment, the Imperial Line soldiers who were repeatedly harvested by shrapnel could only bite the bullet and continue to attack under the abuse and urging of officers and knights.

"The whole army is ready - all companies are in platoons, and all are free to fire! No matter how I shoot, I will shoot all the buckshots on me in the shortest time, and not a single shot is allowed!"

After shouting and howling to give the order, Alexey himself picked up a Leopold rifle and rushed up; the soldiers around were either standing, or half-squatting on one knee, or prostrate on the hillside. on the ground, lying on the grass, frantically pouring ammunition to the Arthurian Crusaders.

The advantages of the fast firing rate of the rear-loading rifle are obvious at this time: there are also skirmishers in the Arthur Corps, but they are equipped with front-loading rifled guns. Can't do it in a minute.

Although Leopold is poorly sealed and has almost no rifling, the rate of fire can reach four rounds per minute, and a skilled fast gunner can even achieve more than six rounds per minute—almost twice as much as a normal front-loading rifle. speed!

The small number of skirmishers were completely useless in the face of the bullets pouring in like a storm; Arthur Hered, who was completely suppressed, immediately wanted to lead the charge himself, and finally was shocked by the crowd. The pale guards and knights stopped it with all their strength and declared defeat.

At this point, the last reinforcements that could aid Fernando's Legion were also blocked on the periphery of the battlefield, and the Clovis Legion had also withdrawn from the battlefield. one left...

"Break out to the east."

A familiar voice sounded beside the young knight: "If it were me, I would definitely do this."

"In their current state, it is absolutely impossible to tear apart the encircling net formed by the Sail City Legion and the Storm Legion without paying a heavy enough price; but they will not do so, because they are His Majesty's standing army. , the loss of too much will have an indelible impact on the authority of the emperor."

"Under the power of two evils, the colonial militia that seems to have the largest number is the best solution; after all, they are poorly organized, and their training and weapons levels are far below the horizontal line. Even if morale is high, it is impossible to stop the elite. Crusaders."

"Under the premise of preserving the overall situation, they must and will only make this decision; of course, they can also choose to give up their resistance and surrender to the New World Legion; but the holy war army sent by His Majesty Emperor Herid has become the only one. A legion that is prepared to voluntarily give up resistance will hit the emperor's prestige even more!"

"From this point of view, even if they realize that there may be traps, they still do it, because there is no choice!"

The decisive words echoed in his ears, and Louis Bernard turned his head and looked at the man with a smile: "Everything is exactly as you said, Uncle Bernard."

"No, it should be said that everything is in Anson Bach's plan."

Bernard Morwes, the former chief of imperial colonies and chief of staff of the Arthur Crusade, said with a wry smile: "This was originally planned by him, and the reason why he had to find me was just to make further confirmation; What the eucalyptus is, will not affect his decision."

"But your affirmation has indeed increased our confidence in execution." Louis shook his head: "Anson Bach... I know him very well. If this person is not completely sure, he will never be so confident. Taking risks was never his style; of course, there are occasional exceptions."

For example, in the royal court of Yinsel... He secretly said in his heart. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

"Perhaps, but I prefer to believe that he has already obtained detailed information from other sources, and even prepared an emergency plan in case the situation suddenly changes." Bernard sighed:

"Anyway, the fate of Fernando's legion is already the sunset that is about to fall in the evening - it is destined."

………………

"So, what else do you have to hesitate?!"

Excited voices echoed in the hut, making the faces of the officers and knights gloomy.

At this moment, huddled in the farmhouse used as the temporary headquarters, their mood is not much easier than that of the subordinates who are fighting **** battles with the enemy outside, and even more desperate; is extremely slim.

"But…"

"Nothing but!"

Seeing that someone wanted to stand up to refute, the knight immediately stopped: "Sir Antonio, I know what you want to say - breaking through to the east will only get farther and farther from the town, and the hope of relying on reinforcements is even slimmer."

"But please open your eyes and see who we can count on now, we can only rely on ourselves!"

"boom-!

!

"

Before he finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly exploded in the thatched hut - always silent, the deputy commander of the legion, who bowed his head and said nothing, smashed the table with a punch, and his sharp eyes swept across every face present: "He's right. , we can only rely on ourselves.”

"Now the whole army listens to my order, throws away all unnecessary baggage and luggage, and goes all out to break through the encirclement to the east, tearing apart the encircling net set up by the enemy!"

"Do everything Yoon Clemence says!"
