Chapter 61 61 Veteran

"You can't go out of town for a decisive battle! The other side has advanced so far one day one night, and there must be something to rely on. It’s time to take risks to attack the opponent, if we win, we may have follow-up troops, and if we lose, we will lose Wallawa.” Standing on the top of the city, looking at the black golden eagle king flag on the distant plain, Old General Frankie According to his long sword, he was comfortable with his subordinates who were fighting.

His voice was kind, like magic. After hearing his analysis, the officers who were beginning to stir and preparing to fight to the death with the enemy in the city all pressed their intentions to compete for credit.

"Let our people take the time to rest, the other party may not launch an attack immediately, but we have to prepare for defense, and the city wall can't make any mistakes!" Battle-tested Old General.

Looking worriedly at the distant enemies who were standing still, he had to add to his subordinates: "If the opponents enter the range, use those long-range catapults behind the city wall to repel them."

Franky has a great view of the big picture. He knows that the Alanhill troops under the city are impossible and durable. They want to take Wallawar in a spurt of energy. In fact, they want to enter the city to avoid the subsequent field battle. the best proof.

Therefore, as a front-line commander, what he has to do is not to destroy the enemy for credit, but to prevent the enemy from accomplishing his campaign goals, even if the division wins.

As long as the opponent cannot attack for a long time, the follow-up reinforcements of the Arrant Empire will definitely increase. When the time comes, the opponent has only one option to retreat. If the Holy Demon Emperor joins the war, the situation will be more favorable to the Arrant Empire. Franky is very clear that no mortal is the opponent of the Dragon Knights of the Holy Demon Emperor.

So, the current situation looks very tricky and complicated, but in the eyes of Old General French, the simplicity actually makes him feel a little bored. Any mortal monarch's efforts to break the distribution of power are ultimately futile.

Even the arrogant Zon, before the war going south, arranged for a messenger to go to the border of the Holy Demon Emperor and handed in a document about the war going south to the Dothan Empire. It is clearly written above, as long as the demands of the area north of the Dothan River.

"bang!" Just when Franky felt a little bored, the Alanhill phalanx in the distance showed their cards, a cannonball cut through the air, and with a sharp whistle, it fell. In the city of Wallawa City.

The shell crashed into a house, directly smashing the roof tiles of the house, and then exploded in the house, knocking down two walls. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding houses began to collapse with the vibration, making a low and depressing rumbling sound.

"That's... what?" stared wide-eyed looked towards a row of houses that were collapsing with smoke in the distance behind him, Frankie's calm voice was trembling, unbelievable. subconsciously opened his mouth to ask his adjutant.

The speechless adjutant, who was also shocked, didn't have the heart to answer Franky's question at this time. He looked at the house that was collapsing as the smoke spread. explosion.

"bang!" The shock of the two people was not over yet. The second shell hit the city wall of Wallawa. The explosion cracked the whole city wall, but the thick city wall Still stubborn and did not fall.

It's just that the soldiers on the city wall turned pale from the shock of two consecutive huge explosions. They are not afraid that the enemy will rush to their feet, because they have too many ways to compete with the enemy who is attacking the city.

But now, everything in front of them has transcended their cognition. Now they don't know what's going on, and the fear of ignorance is the real fear.

The "bang!" sounded like a doomsday bell, and the explosion went on and on. The third explosion also occurred in the urban area, and another innocent building collapsed, billowing black smoke.

Franky had already adjusted from the shock at this time, and he knew that the tactics he thought were foolproof seemed to have completely failed. The city wall, which was almost impossible to break, seemed impossible to withstand a single blow in the eyes of the opponent.

"Could it be that the Holy Demon Emperor has fallen to Alanhill? Could it be that the greedy Alanhill monarch is willing to use more feed to feed the demons of the Holy Demon Emperor?" In the billowing smoke, Franky stared at the black king flag in the distance and sighed bitterly.

"Hold the ground! No retreat allowed! We are Arrant's warriors! Death is like going home to us!" He suddenly shouted loudly to all the soldiers in front of him, encouraging The sound of morale floated far away in the gap between the explosions.

"Bang!" But a few seconds later, the more ferocious artillery fire completely suppressed the shouting above Wallawar City, and the Alanhill troops below the city assembled 40 cannons and fired a salvo. The power of it is simply not something that physical body and mortal flesh can contend with.

"Boom!" With the completion of another round of salvos aimed at the city wall, Wallavor's thick city wall finally broke and collapsed in the sound of the explosion. The crenel rolled and fell to the bottom of the city, and the soldiers on the city wall and the bodies of the soldiers were buried among the smoke and rubble along with the collapse.

Seeing that his city wall had a gap, Franky knew that this time the defensive battle was destined to become difficult. But he didn't regret at all the previous choice of rejecting the other party's persuasion to surrender. He knew that sometimes soldiers just had to face the worst outcome calmly.

A towering catapult was torn apart by the shock wave of the explosion, and countless wooden supports collapsed and shattered. The other catapult next to him made a zhi zhi babble sound.

Under the three rounds of artillery fire, Wallawa City was already a doomsday scene. This was also the first time Alanhill had used such a brutal attack to capture a large city after he started heading south.

"Sir, the other party didn't surround us, let's retreat to the east!" Franky's adjutant's face was covered with smoke and dust, and he pulled Franky's arm, loudly persuaded.

There is no way, under a few rounds of shelling, the voice of everyone on the battlefield will become incomparable gigantic, because they are used to the deafening environment, and their ears have long since become incomparable. so sensitive.

The armor on this adjutant has long since lost its luster, and some blood splatters can even be seen on it. The enemy is still outside the several li, and the defenders on the city wall have suffered heavy losses.

The explosion just now cost them hundreds of people, and hundreds of people were slightly injured. If it were not for the protection of the armor, the losses of these soldiers may be greater. The most important thing is not the loss of these soldiers, but the fortifications of Wallawa, which have been almost completely destroyed.

"clang!" Franky pulled out the saber from his waist, pushed aside the adjutant holding his arm, and ordered loudly: "Reserve! Follow me to the collapsed city wall! Line up! Get ready to fight! The enemy should be rushing over soon! We don't have much time left!" General is very popular in Wallawa, so at this critical moment, there are more people willing to stand up and support the old General.

On the hillside in the distance, Mordelair rode on horseback and put down the telescope in his hand. He turned his head and looked towards his adjutant, and ordered: "Let the first battalion prepare to charge! I will only give them 15 minutes, take the gap, and attack the city wall!" The adjutant immediately raised his chin. Answered: "Yes!"

"Second order!" He did not wait for the adjutant to leave, and then issued the second order, and then let the other party convey his order: "The second battalion does Ready for battle! When the first battalion completes its mission, I need them to immediately expand their results and sweep all the defenders on the city wall!"

As his orders were conveyed to the troops, one by one infantry The phalanx began to revive from its stand-by state. Unlike the previous battalion and an infantry phalanx, the current infantry battalions are no longer stacked together, and the infantry company is the frontal phalanx combat unit.

These long new square arrays have about 50 people in each column, and there are only three columns in total. This arrangement allows soldiers to effectively use the firepower of their weapons and dump bullets to the enemy more quickly. overhead.

"Get the bayonet!" A platoon leader raised his chin next to each other and gave an order to his soldiers. All the soldiers stepped sideways, took out the long three-edged army thorn from their waists, and hung them neatly on their rifles.

The bright bayonets gleamed in the sun, and all the soldiers raised their muzzles upward as if they were long spears, and the bayonets immediately formed a sharp thorn forest above their heads. .

With a neat stride, the squares began to creep forward little by little. Their steps are neat, and the high-quality military boots produced in mass production can make a dull sound on the dirt.

"Alanhill of the cunning! We've been tricked!" He had heard of Alanhill's offering of red-clothed cannons earlier, and Franky had also heard of the power of red-clothed cannons. But what he didn't expect was that, compared to those beautiful descriptions, the boundless power blown by the red-clothed cannon was not even 1/10,000th of the Alanhill's weapons in front of him.

"However! As long as you dare to post it! I'll let you know what a brutal war is!" Old General stubbornly held his long sword and stood behind the densely packed Arrant Empire soldiers. Behind him, the green Arrant king flag was still stubbornly struggling in the black smoke.
