I Will Be The Crowned King

Vol 4 Chapter 158: What does he want to do? !

Remember for a second【】

"Artillery - all in place!"

Heijiao Port defensive bunker, standing on the side of the 18-pounder, Alexei Dukasky was holding the low wall, looking at the distant screams of killing, surrounded by gunpowder smoke and countless blue and white figures Surrounded by the King Clovis flag, the mood was extremely complicated.

How should I put it, this is a bit like the feeling of sudden understanding and trembling after the magic mystery is revealed, and at the same time, people can't help but doubt their own IQ.

For example, why three days?

Except for reasons such as not wanting to arouse suspicion from the enemy, the advance army could have bargained with Bernard to extend the armistice to four or even five days, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Anyway, there is no sincerity on both sides, even if it is half a copper plate. Is three days or four days very important?

Crucial, simply too crucial!

If it wasn't for only three days, how could they "keep their promises" and watch the advance army leave the city?

How can the advance army build a fortress of the advance army on the siege position of the empire in an open and honest way? How could the imperial army be so obediently sent under the muzzle, and lined up to be bombed into the sky by themselves?

Well, how did you say the cannon came about? The Empire destroyed the port, but the sunk warships and their artillery all sank under the port!

Salvage, repair, preparation, training, placement... no more than three days, except for the two six-pounder guns and all the propellants, the rest of the artillery and artillery shells were all salvaged ashore and placed in several bunker strongholds along the defense line. Inside.

Why must it be dispersed rather than placed? That's another story.

As for rebuilding the defense line, rectifying the militia of the Black Reef Harbor, and accumulating logistical supplies... These will take at least three days.

It's not that there will be surprises after three days, but that it is the limit to implement this plan for three days; this time Anson didn't leave even half a day of spare time-he didn't plan to leave anything for himself until he confirmed that the empire was really out of ammunition and food. the back road.

Looking at the 18-pound naval gun that was still smoking slightly beside him, don't say that the enemy was completely dumbfounded, even Alexei himself had a sense of "unreal" vision... Although this sense of vision is in Hantu has experienced many times.

"Loading ammo, second round of calibration—!"

The ammunition man who received the order immediately rushed to the front of the artillery. After the two federal navies (pirates) hurriedly cleaned the gun chambers, the three of them laboriously stuffed the large-headed cannonball into it.

From the start of construction to the completion of preparations, it took nearly a minute... The commander-in-chief of the advance army looked back expressionlessly, and glanced at the deputy company commander Alis who was the "gunner" from the corner of his eye.

This position was originally assigned to Miss Lisa Bach, but out of consideration for the safety of the commander-in-chief - mainly because Lisa herself did not agree - only this deputy company commander who "proclaimed to have shot" was allowed to live on a temporary basis. .

But seeing how excited his limbs were shaking and the corners of his mouth could not be closed, Alexey regretted making this decision a little.

After all, the 2nd Infantry Regiment has no artillery (and it is impossible to have) all the artillery must be guided by the 18-pounder behind him, and compensate for the accuracy with salvo; On the field, that...

"Ready!"

Excited shouts sounded again, and dozens of soldiers surrounding the artillery in the bunker raised their heads and looked at the expressionless commander of the advance army.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Alexei, who sighed in a low voice, was instantly relieved.

Now that we've come this far, what's there to be afraid of - the big deal is dying in this wild new world, what's the difference between dying on a native bed?

On the day I left home, I...was already a damned person.

The next moment, the commander-in-chief of the advance army, who had given up thinking, used all his strength to drop his arm at the golden irises surrounding the King Clovis flag:

"fire!"

………………

In the roar of shaking the sky, billowing white smoke enveloped most of the defense line of Black Reef Harbor; only the bullet scars of black afterimages could be seen emitting a piercing scream, falling to the battlefield dominated by gunpowder smoke and shouts of killing.

Eighteen pounds, twelve pounds, six pounds... The solid bullets, which were scorched by the fire, fell heavily into the center of the golden irises blooming everywhere. The violent air waves smashed into a big crater, and also screamed around. The screams were torn to shreds, crushed into blood and minced meat sprayed all over the sky.

It doesn't even need too precise aiming, each cannonball can accurately take away at least "one" iris flower - even if the whistling cannonball misses, it can knock down five or six figures by bouncing and rolling, on the crowded battlefield. Tear open a "flesh trail".

The lethality of the flank exposure is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

The imperial army, which was still imposing just now, was overwhelmed by the sudden artillery fire - no one thought that the Black Reef Harbor militia actually had artillery, and there were more than one!

More importantly, because the entire battlefield has been shrouded in gunpowder smoke, the soldiers in the front row have no idea where the shelling came from, and they don't even know where to dodge.

The soldiers behind saw with their own eyes the artillery shells from the Black Reef Harbor defense line flying towards them, tearing apart the whole row of soldiers in front of them mercilessly.

Even the most tenacious of the line privates, unable to maintain high morale under attack on the flanks, stepped on the corpses and continued to advance towards the endless volley of guns.

So in the thick smoke of gunpowder and the sound of the cannon, the roars and shouts of the officers began to sound one after another, constantly cheering for the soldiers who were resigned; at the same time, the military musicians also began to beat the drums harder, trying to use joy

^0^ One second to remember【】

The quick prelude covered up the screams around him.

"Stay calm - soldiers, look straight ahead!"

"That's right, don't panic! Move on, move on!"

"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a few worthless pieces of copper and iron, and it can't be compared with the imperial artillery!"

... No matter how much the officers shouted hoarse voices, the military musicians could not wait to smash the drums, but still couldn't wipe the panic from the soldiers' faces.

Soon, the vassal army that was consumed as cannon fodder was the first to collapse.

As the artillery shells continued to explode the blood mist in the crowd, they, who had originally relied on the saber and revolver of the supervising team to maintain their "morale", began to flee in groups, like a group of flies without heads on the ground. mess up. …

The siege position as a battlefield is quite narrow. The deserters want to avoid the artillery fire except to continue to attack, they can only retreat; but they are facing rounds of volleys of volleys from the advance army, and behind them, in addition to the supervising team, there is also an empire waiting to enter the battlefield Full Infantry Regiment.

More than a thousand vassals were caught in the middle of the battlefield, with nowhere to hide from the howling salvo and artillery fire, let alone the skills of concealment on the field; The air waves turned into torn corpses.

Therefore, less than three minutes after the shelling of the Black Reef Harbor defense line, there were not many vassals still standing around the gap; the imperial line infantry in the back row could even step on their corpses and continue straight to the advance army. attack.

But in the face of the vassals who had almost lost their casualties, the Imperial Line soldiers who followed closely were still in their original positions, and did not move a single bit... Watching the troops from the Eastern Front have already rushed out of their nests, at the Black Reef The port was struggling under the shelling.

"boom!"

The incomparably crisp sound of gunshots rang in my ears, and the lead bullet pierced through the head of the Imperial Knight.

The shattered fragments knocked down the drummer in the back row, and the blood was sprayed on the terrified faces of the surrounding linemen, causing a burst of panic.

Familiar feelings came to his mind, but Anson was not excited at all. He was like a ruthless shooting machine, using the detached sense of distance of the conjurer and the "power" to accurately blast one foot after another. to the head within its casting range.

Now he can understand more and more why the "fifth stage" is a stage of quantitative change to qualitative change for spellcasters.

As a conjurer, when he first became a spell caster, he had almost no combat power at all; if he wanted to make up for the gap with the other two major casters, he had to learn and record all kinds of magic crazily, otherwise he would have nothing to do with ordinary people. the difference.

But when it reached the fifth level, which was also one step away from the Blasphemy Mage, the new magic became less important.

He is even confident now that he can use no magic at all, relying only on the weapon at hand and the absolute sense of distance, he fought back and forth the same year ago; if it were an ordinary person, crushing would not be a problem.

The powerful sense of distance and the power to distort reality, in turn, shaped Anson's self-confidence that "everything is under control"; as long as it is within the range of spellcasting, he is a dictator who follows the law and does what he wants.

Right now, this range is only a 30-meter radius. If it is enlarged to one kilometer, five kilometers, ten kilometers... If all the sounds, smells, temperatures, life, and laws of nature in all corners of the entire city are under control, it will What is the situation?

Going a step further, if the casting range can pass through the dome, pull the stars, and connect the sun and the moon...

"boom!"

Another shot was fired, and an officer who wanted to draw a knife and charge fell to his death, causing a panic among the surrounding Imperial Line soldiers; with the rapid and continuous gunshots, a dozen figures fell instantly.

Facing an enemy that was several times his number, the advance army was completely red-eyed. From the officers to the soldiers, there were signs that they were about to lose control. Anson had seen more than one guy holding up the slightly red gun barrel. The risk of exploding is still firing without realizing it. …

"Lisa."

A little helpless, Anson put down Leopold in his hand and held the girl who was about to go crazy.

"Anson?"

"Let the guard company and the skirmish company shrink the line of defense, and all those who can retreat into the bunker will retreat into the bunker and prepare for concealment."

Looking thoughtfully at the main offensive position of the counter-insurgent army on the Western Front, An Sen was not sure:

"Calculate the time, he should almost react."

"What?"

Curious Lisa stared at Anson, her head tilted.

………………

"Why stop the attack?!"

Looking at the King Clovis flag that had been erected on the north side, Bernard snapped off his binoculars and glared angrily at the messenger sent by the battalion commander of the Cuirassiers: "Tell me what the reason is. Ordered to stop the attack and let the traitors of Heijiao Harbor unscrupulously fire on the eastern front?!"

"Does he even know that once the imperial army suffers heavy setbacks and heavy casualties at Black Reef Harbor, what terrifying consequences will it cause?!"

"Sir Sadow certainly knows!"

The messenger snorted, and there was no fear on his resolute face; as a cuirassier, he knew very well who was truly worthy of his fear:

"But it is precisely in order to reduce unnecessary casualties that Jazz ordered the offense to be stopped - facing an enemy with a superior cross-fire advantage, it is useless to continue to invest in troops!"

"The only solution now is to ask artillery positions to suppress the northern defense line of Heijiao Port, or launch a general attack on Heijiao Harbor from the west to distract the defenders of Heijiao Harbor.

^0^ One second to remember【】

Only with willpower can we win the opportunity for the Eastern Front Army to transfer and retreat. "

"Retreat? Transfer?!"

Seeing the calm cuirassier in front of him, Bernard itch with hatred.

"This is another reason why Ser Sardo sent me here, Lord Bernard Morwis." The cuirassier continued unhurriedly:

"He asked you to take this opportunity to abandon the eastern front and the northern side, and shrink all the troops back to the western front."

"why?!"

"Because if you don't do this, you will be in the Clovis people's arms - the reason why they want to occupy the northern gap is to use this bulge to attract our full attention, and they have to take it before the siege of Black Reef Harbor. capture."

"But if we don't take this gap as soon as possible, even if the army is withdrawn, won't we still face the enemy from both sides?!"

"That's right, but it's better than being cut off right now, with the risk of annihilation at any time."

Taking a deep breath, the cuirassiers looked solemnly at Bernard, who was about to reach a critical point: "Sir Sadow asked me to remind you that we are running out of time - waste energy on other minor issues, and Greatly increases the likelihood that we will not be able to conquer Black Reef Harbor."

"In addition, he also asks you to seriously think about why the Clovis people occupy the gap, and risk the risk of annihilation of the entire army to defend Black Reef Harbor."

Why?

Bernard, who was almost out of breath, was startled by the question, and froze in place.

That's right, if they just want to retreat, they actually have a chance~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is no need to occupy a gap that is almost certain to be fully besieged, and create a bulge that can cover the city defense of Black Reef Harbor.

So if it's not for retreat, what is it for?

Bernard was extremely confused. Although he had only met Alexey a few times, he could not imagine that the other party would be the kind of guy who was **** and desperate.

Sudden! A guess long forgotten by him flashed through Bernard's mind like an electric shock.

Difficult, is Anson Bach really going to be in Black Reef Harbor, in this place with himself...

"Sir Sardo, assist the Eastern Front troops to complete the retreat task as soon as possible; on the premise of avoiding the casualties of soldiers as much as possible, at any cost!"

Bernard, whose face changed suddenly, showed an extremely solemn expression, and said solemnly to the cuirassiers: "In half an hour, I will let the artillery launch a round of artillery fire on the northern defense line and the gap of the Black Reef Harbor, but it will not be very long. Master, you have to seize the opportunity!"

"As ordered!"
