I Will Be The Crowned King

"I shall be crowned king ( Find the latest chapter!

"Storm division - ready to fight!"

After experiencing the initial confusion and brief confusion, with the roar of Anson's order, all the soldiers threw away their work, picked up their weapons, and entered their respective positions as quickly as possible.

The messengers running wildly between the trenches began to sound harsh bugles, mixed with chaotic footsteps and the sound of urging and cursing by the officers, and the whole Salted Village was in chaos.

"The second line infantry regiment has entered the position, requesting combat instructions!"

"The enemy's whereabouts have been found on the north and west sides. It is suspected that a large number of cavalry are rapidly approaching the position. The position of the third line infantry regiment has been attacked and is currently at war with the enemy!"

"All the artillery in the artillery position has been reloaded, everyone is waiting for orders!"

...The Thun soldiers hurried to the position raised Leiden and Leopold in their hands, and pulled the trigger in the hoarse voice of the officer; Suddenly, the golden irises that were hunting and hunting disappeared without a trace in the choking smoke of gunpowder accompanied by a shrill scream.

Immediately afterwards, without giving the opponent any room to breathe, these Thun soldiers and the officers roared and picked up their swords, bayonets, hoes and shovels, and launched a counter-charge to the enemy who was still attacking.

The Thun soldiers who have received standard "Crowe military system" training in White Tower City and have fought side by side with the Storm Division for several months still retain some of the "old habits" of the past - that is, after a fight. After the salvo, whether the enemy is attacking or retreating, they will charge directly without hesitation.

This was at first because the rifle's rate of fire was too slow, using a round of salvos to disrupt the enemy's formation, and then taking advantage of the gap between the opponent's loading of ammunition, sacrificing the opportunity of a round of shooting to shorten the distance, and slammed into the enemy's line that was caught off guard with hand-to-hand combat, resulting in Morale strike tactics.

But at the time of the 100th year of the saint's calendar, this style of play to make up for the shortcomings of the weapon is obviously a bit... unable to keep up with the version.

In the fierce hand-to-hand battle, the imperial line infantry, who were caught off guard at first, quickly gained a firm foothold and withstood the counter-charge of the Thun Legion with the dense bayonet phalanx. Fire opened in the gap, breaking the heads of the Thun soldiers who rushed forward one after another shouting.

Although these Thun line infantrymen have popularized the Leiden rifles that are not inferior to the imperial soldiers at all, a small number are even equipped with Leopold and the latest August, and the equipment level is even higher than that of the opposite imperial soldiers. .

However, it is clear that only sophisticated equipment can't make up for the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides - especially on the premise that they don't know how to use the real power of weapons.

So although the soldiers of the Thun Legion were still fighting back again and again, the imperial line private companies that formed a phalanx still used bayonets to push them out of the phalanx, and then relied on the crossfire between the phalanxes to defeat them one after another. These warriors of the land of the earth who are not afraid of death.

But it is strange that after defeating the counter-charge of the Thun Legion, the troops of the Imperial Expeditionary Force did not continue to attack the salty village position, but seemed to be in some kind of confusion.

"Uh... these Han Tu people, and this position... where did this all come from?"

Holding up the brass-cased monocular, Arthur Hereid, who was talking to himself, looked extremely confused.

In accordance with the command of the commander-in-chief Caspar Hered, the Imperial Expeditionary Force, which abandoned the fortress of the top tower, began to detour the whole line after defeating the outpost of the Han soil army (Mist Legion), and formed a local advantage by means of mobile operations. , and gradually eliminate the resistance of Hantu.

Naturally, the most critical aspect of this combat method is time. It must maintain high-frequency operations and strong operational efficiency, and cannot give the enemy any room for respite and rectification, and the fault tolerance rate is very low.

So Arthur Hereid, who was new to the battlefield, unsurprisingly made the most serious mistake - he lost his way.

And got lost in the first place!

On the night of the ambush of the Mist Legion, in order to pursue the escaped Archduke Mist, Arthur Hereid brought his own infantry regiment and nearly 500 people chased and blocked a two-wheeled carriage... Although he still let him run away .

In order to save his own life, the 70-year-old Archduke Ruco Visania showed his hidden superb driving skills, soaring up and down the bumpy Aiden Road, hurricane, and cliffs. Cut and bend…

The more than 500 imperial warriors who couldn't catch up with him, and even many talented people who had inherited the "power of blood", could only be amazed by the smoke rising from the mountain road.

But when they returned to the camp panting and hungry, they were shocked to find that the Imperial Expeditionary Force had disappeared.

gone!

More than 20,000 people...the blink of an eye is gone!

For a split second, countless questions popped into Arthur Hereid's mind: where am I, where am I, where should I go now?

There were only two ways left in front of them: either go back to the fortress of the top tower obediently, or go to the deserted stone castle according to the predetermined battle plan and find a way to keep up with the large army.

After some entanglement, Arthur, who was very confident in himself, chose the latter.

Then he got lost.

Moreover, in order to avoid being noticed by the Hantu army, they did not dare to walk on the main road. The tortuous Aidan Road was as complicated as a large maze. where is it.

Originally, these "trivial troubles" were thrown to Louis Bernard to deal with; but because this "best friend" always held him back, the two didn't talk much before the war.

Some things are only lost once to know how important... Although I don't know who said this nonsense, Arthur Hereid now thinks it is really true.

When they finally went through untold hardships, after being trapped by the fourth "simple local guide" into a ravine where a ghost knows what the **** it is, they finally felt that they were not far from the barren stone castle. They were surprised to discover , there was an army nearby.

Arthur Hereid, who is very confident in himself, intends to launch a tentative attack to see where these enemies come from.

When they withstood the counter-charge of the Thun Corps and stood firm and pushed back to the enemy's defense line, they were surprised to find that it was not a poor and broken fishing village as the guide had said before. This is clearly a A semi-permanent camp of a certain Legion!

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

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the artillery positions above the hills began to pour firepower in the direction of the Imperial Expeditionary Force. The scorching air waves raged around the trenches, and violent vibrations shook the ground.

However, the artillerymen of the Storm Division did not expect the Thun Corps to launch a counter-charge. As a result, Arthur and his subordinates successfully broke through the defense line and hid in the trenches... The seemingly ferocious firepower coverage changed the terrain. to any effect.

Not only that... Because the artillery positions opened fire in advance, the surrounding troops that were supposed to rush to reinforcements were also forced to stop, and they could only watch the Thun soldiers who were defeated first and then hit by their own cannonballs were billowing thick smoke and fire. Screaming in agony, he didn't dare to take the initiative to go up and die.

The Imperial Expeditionary Force on the opposite side is also facing a similar dilemma - they just want to test the enemy and organize a round of fire reconnaissance on this sudden position, but they never really thought about attacking.

Unexpectedly, the Thun Army collapsed too quickly, and the four or five hundred people had already entered the position. Coupled with the "cover" of artillery fire, the enemies on both flanks did not dare to launch a counterattack against them, and the entire position was empty. .

So should they take this opportunity to retreat, or continue to pursue the retreating Thun Legion?

"It's still a question, of course it's an attack!"

In the sound of artillery fire, Arthur Herreid looked very excited: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to defeat an entire army of Hantu people with the strength of our infantry regiment... Aren't you excited, aren't you? ?what?!"

"Uh...this...of course we're excited too."

Facing Arthur's ardent and ambitious expression, the officers around UU Reading www.uukanshu.com looked at each other and replied with a wry smile, "But..."

"No but!" Arthur waved his hand:

"You're all my best friends, right?!"

"That's right."

"And we all want to be heroes to end this war, right?!"

"This... also, can you say the same thing?"

"It should be said, and we should do the same - because we are knights! Knights... are born to face difficulties!" Arthur, who was stuck on his waist, had a sincere smile on his face:

"Now, it's up to us to prove all this with facts; of course, let Louis Bernard see that the war is not what he said at all - the times have not changed, knight...we! It can still be ended!"

"You wait..."

"The opportunity is rare, let's rush out now and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

"Wait, can you first..."

"Can't wait! Now is the time for us to show our loyalty to the empire! As long as we successfully defeat this vast soil army, we will not only be able to avoid the responsibility of being left behind, but will also be able to cover the flanks of the main army when they attack the deserted stone castle. when…"

"I said can you look back first! Just one look, one look!"

"Um?!"

Arthur, who was forcibly interrupted by his companions, turned his head unwillingly, followed the direction of their slightly frightened eyes and fingers, and looked towards the beach, and then...

Then his expression froze.

On the calm sea, the Hantu fleet, which had arrived in time with a full load of supplies, had already anchored and moored near the sea, and dozens of naval guns were aimed neatly at them from the gun ports on the side of the ship.

Arthur Hereid: "...Retreat!"
