The fiefdom increases by 1 soldier in 1 second, and the empress kneels down and begs not to rebel

It was just after four in the morning.

The Goltish army was advancing in an orderly manner. Due to the large number of troops, they formed a multi-line battle formation. Each line was divided into 4 to 8 columns. The infantry occupied the most important middle position, while the cavalry was on the two wings. Each line was 80 to 100 meters apart, and the artillery was placed between the lines.

As the artillery carts were heavy and slow, the soldiers' pace was not fast. The cavalry did not play an assault role but served as guards for the central infantry. Therefore, they did not try to move ahead quickly, but instead stayed firmly on both wings of the line and moved forward in unison.

Considering that the second support army led by Lieutenant General Harbaugh only arrived hastily tonight and did not rest for too long, the 46th Division led by Liert will be at the forefront of the entire army. They will act as the main attacker and launch a frontal offensive against the enemy.

Following closely behind was the 53rd Division led by Klein, followed by the various divisions of the Second Support Army, and at the end was the 27th Division led by Lieutenant General Harbaugh. Being at the very end, they were arranged differently from the other divisions. The 27th Division had a very long line of troops, and Lieutenant General Harbaugh hoped to launch a siege on the Yan Army at the end of this battle, so he ordered the soldiers to lengthen the front line in order to destroy the enemy to the greatest extent in this battle.

Now, the 46th Division, which is at the forefront of the army, has arrived at the original location of the Yan Army, but no trace of the Yan Army was seen. Li Erte knew that this was because the Yan Army launched a more intense artillery attack on the factory at 2:30, and now they should launch an attack on the factory under the cover of artillery fire.

He did not think much about this, but ordered the army to speed up. The more fiercely the Yan army attacked the factory, the more effective it would be to take the opportunity to kill them from behind.

Of course, Li Erte was not without doubts in his heart. At least he believed that the Yan Army should have left a force for guarding when they knew that there was danger in the rear. However, they did not. But in the current situation, he could only treat the Yan Army as if it had reached a desperate situation and chose to go all out, using all his forces to attack the Macedonian military factory in order to make a quick breakthrough.

The advance continued, but the sound of artillery fire became increasingly sparse. Lilt thought that the enemy had almost used up their artillery shells, and now it was time for the infantry to make a breakthrough.

With this in mind, Li Geer led his army to continue advancing, intending to launch a fierce attack only after the enemy came into view. After all, at this moment, the enemy could not be seen.

However, only a moment passed.

"Bang bang bang!"

Without any warning, a burst of intensive artillery fire suddenly sounded from the front.

At this time, Li Geer was still leading his troops forward. The moment the artillery sounded, his whole body froze. As soon as he looked up, he saw that the silver-white night sky was filled with densely packed black spots.

Those were artillery shells fired from the front. They came from very far away, so far that before Riegl could even see the enemy, the shells had already fallen from the sky.

A drop of cold sweat quietly slid down Li Geer's temple.

"Enemy attack!!! Watch out for artillery fire!"

Almost at the moment the cannon sounded, dozens of roars were heard from the front-line queue.

Along with the roar came the sound of artillery shells falling to the ground.

"Boom boom boom!"

In an instant, the shells exploded after they hit the ground, but the explosions were not in the front line of the team, but were concentrated in the rear of the 46th Division.

Almost instantly, the rear section of the 46th Division led by Riegl and the front section of the 53rd Division led by Klein became the target of artillery attacks.

This sudden change caught Rigel completely by surprise. He had always believed that the Yan army should now launch a breakthrough operation outside the Macedonian military factory.

"Boom boom boom!"

Explosions sounded one after another behind him. Although the shelling location was behind the 46th Division, the entire 46th Division was in chaos.

The rear was attacked, and the soldiers in the front should have continued to advance. However, everyone was at a loss at the moment. In the panic, Liger shouted with a livid face:

"Charge! Close the distance quickly! Destroy them!"

The charge horn sounded along with the sound of artillery fire. Liger decided to continue moving forward. What if the enemy was prepared? The hundreds of thousands of troops he led tonight were meant to fight to the death and annihilate the enemy.

Now that we have arrived here, the arrows are on the string and have to be shot. Even if there are casualties, as long as we close the distance and launch a fierce attack, we can still wipe out the enemy!

When Riegl led the 46th Division to launch the charge, its rear was under heavy artillery fire.

"Beware of the shelling! Evacuate immediately!"

Lieutenant Colonel Miniel of the 53rd Division was shouting at the top of his lungs, but the shells that fell around him from time to time completely drowned out his voice.

Several infantry columns were broken up by the artillery fire, the number of soldiers killed in the explosions was increasing rapidly, and the advancing artillery vehicles were destroyed one after another.

In order to fight this evening's battle, the ranks were much denser than before, because this was not an open area and the enemy's artillery fire brought terrible casualties.

When the first round of shelling fell, unfortunately, this place happened to be the center of the shelling.

Miner shouted anxiously while dodging the shells, but the horse he was riding was out of control and just spinning in place. Miner gripped the reins tightly, trying to control the horse, but suddenly several panicked shouts rang out beside him.

"General Klein fell off his horse!!!"

Hearing this urgent shout, Minel finally reacted belatedly.

He quickly looked around for Klein, and after a quick glance, he rushed towards a small group of people in front of him on the left.

The scattered corpses of people and horses on the ground were shocking. A few minutes ago, several shells fell right here.

Miner roared towards that place:

"How's General Klein?!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as he shouted, another round of artillery shells fell, and the sound of explosions rang out again beside him. The warhorse let out a mournful cry and suddenly raised its front hooves high. Minel could no longer control himself and fell off the horse.

The man and the horse fell to the ground almost at the same time. Minel's ears were rumbling, but his body's instinct made him roll on the spot after landing. The musket on his back hurt him, but he had no time to pay attention. After rolling, he immediately lay down on the ground to avoid being hit by stray bullets.

With a quick glance, he saw a bloody mess on the warhorse's belly. In the blink of an eye, the group of people had scattered, many of them covered in blood, obviously affected by the explosion. There were several shell craters on the ground, and a figure was lying next to a warhorse that had fallen to the ground and twitched.

After seeing the blood-stained military uniform, Minel's heart sank.

"Boom boom boom!"

The explosions were still ringing. Minel didn't dare to get up, so he had to lie on the ground and use his hands to dig into the soil to crawl forward.

After crawling less than a meter, Miniel could no longer bear it. He suddenly stood up and ran forward madly. Shells fell beside him from time to time. He ran faster and faster. When he was close to the warhorse, he leaped and then rolled over and threw himself behind the warhorse.

"call--"

It was a distance of several meters, but it was undoubtedly a walk in the face of death. Minel's heart was beating so fast that it was about to jump out. He took a quick breath, and then hurriedly turned the lying person over.

Klein's face, whose right eye was hit by shrapnel and whose left cheek was cut by shrapnel and turned into a bloody mess, appeared in front of him.

Seeing this face, Minel shuddered uncontrollably and his face twitched.

"Sir...Sir..." he shouted with trembling lips.

next moment.

A faint moan came out of Klein's mouth.

"quick......."

Hearing the voice, Minel's eyes showed excitement, and he hurriedly said: "Sir, I will take..."

Klein half-opened his remaining left eye and groaned breathlessly:

"Quick... withdraw the troops."
