I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 395

Rewind time by an hour...

With the deafening roar, the ground began to shake slightly; the militia positions of Yangfan City, which were guarding around the farm not far away, began to crumble under the baptism of artillery fire.

Under the smoke and dust in the sky, the jihadist army on the western front, which had just "routed", regrouped again, held high the Ring of Order and the King Clovis Banner, and launched an attack again.

As soon as the battle started, the situation became almost one-sided.

Although there is a slight advantage in strength and position, it is far from enough to wipe out the advantages of both sides: the militiamen of Yangfan City are equipped with homemade guns and captured spoils, and the various equipment and the jihadist army uniformed Leobo. De, Leiden rifles are almost incomparable. They have not received shooting training at all, and the hurriedly organized counterattacks are not good at all, and even the casualties to friendly forces exceed the total number of kills.

In contrast, the Ludwig Mujahideen has practically demonstrated the impact of training and discipline on an army.

The skirmishers arranged in the front and on the two flanks have been harassing and shooting at the farm positions since they stepped into the field.

The four line regiments of the Chinese Army lined up, advancing steadily under the choking smoke of gunpowder and the sparse firepower network. Facing the fallen comrades who were hit and fell, they still ignored them, and indifferently stepped on the beatings of military musicians. Drums.

After arriving at the charging position, each regiment skillfully acted in company units, launched a column assault with rifles loaded with ammunition, ran to face-to-face distance and then suddenly opened fire, and then the bayonet saw red.

If it is an experienced regular army of the Empire, the knights in charge will organize a supervising team, use orders to force the soldiers to stick to their posts, resist the approaching fire of the Clovis, and then use a tight formation to beat their scattered charges. go back.

But unfortunately, Louis is not commanding a real army right now, and he doesn't have so many knights who can stabilize the more than 6,000 inexperienced militia soldiers.

As a result, the already fragile front was torn apart by countless gaps in the smoke of gunpowder, and the jihadist army, which maintained a column formation, rushed into the position, wantonly strangling in the panicked militia formation.

In the face of the collapsed situation, the militiamen relying on the fortifications are still stubbornly resisting; although they are not regular troops, they still show the "imperial style" to the fullest - morale and leaders are highly tied.

As long as Louis is still leading the battle, the militia loyal to him will not stop fighting, even if they are beaten down steadily.

This extraordinary morale caused a lot of trouble for the Mujahideen Army, but they were also very experienced in fighting against the Empire for many years; they caused casualties to several times their own militia through constant pulling and repeated attacks.

At the same time, the hussars on the western front had also detoured to the rear of the defense line, constantly harassing Louis' attempts to reorganize the defense line, and feigning threats to the rear positions.

Even though the militiamen of Yangfan City still tried their best to keep the front line intact, and Louis, the leader, had already fought and fought in person, but he was still unable to turn the tide;

"It's over, it's over now!"

Looking at the 13-star ring flag that was gradually engulfed in the distance, Alexei, who was hiding in the forest, had an anxious expression, and his whole person was like an ant on a hot pan: "If we delay like this, the entire front may be dragged. Damn, we have to act quickly."

"Calm down first!" Roman said coldly behind him, and squeezed his shoulder roughly:

"We don't know exactly what the plans of Anson Bach and Louis Bernard are, let alone get any signal from them. A rash attack is likely to disrupt the entire battle."

"Signal?!" Alexei turned his head suddenly, his face full of disbelief: "The commander-in-chief doesn't even know if we are there, how is he going to send us a signal?!"

He threw his arm vigorously to break free, but found that Roman's palm was like cast iron, and the pliers did not move on his shoulders; on the contrary, he moved so hard that he seemed to have sprained his muscles.

"An... He knows." Roman paused and said word by word:

"He even knows our specific location, even our number and equipment level."

"He..." Alexei's eyes narrowed:

"How, how do you know?!"

Roman was expressionless: "I just know."

"Not only that, according to my judgment, you should already know... At least there are speculations in this regard." He lowered his voice and his expression became more and more gloomy: "So don't pretend to me, the fire knight of the Dukasky family. !"

Apparently it was the pain from his shoulders, but Alexei felt his heart twitch; a chill rose from the soles of his feet and poured into his body.

In the distance, the militia's line in Yangfan City was already on the verge of collapse, and the Confederate army's position, which seemed to be able to maintain its composure, also began to show signs of being shaken.

Seizing the telescope of Alexey who was standing still, Roman stared at the battlefield in the distance and hesitated for a long time, as if he was considering a very difficult decision.

After a long silence, he stuffed the binoculars back into the chest of the second infantry regiment commander: "Get ready to attack."

"Ugh?!"

The stunned Alexei thought for a moment that he heard it wrong: "Now?!"

"Now."

"But, but the commander-in-chief hasn't ordered us yet..."

"The battlefield is changing rapidly, how can we miss the opportunity!" Roman's expression did not change: "What's more, maybe he has already sent a signal to us, but we just didn't notice it."

"What signal?"

"How do I know, I'm not Anson Bach!"

"Then you just..."

"I'm just saying it's possible, not certain."

Alexei's eyes widened, he really couldn't figure out how a person could complete the reversal in just a few minutes; since Colonel Roman is also a loyal minister, is this a higher form of loyalty? !

Roman, who didn't notice what the guy in front of him was thinking, continued to say coldly: "The so-called leader must not only be good at taking advantage of changes in the battlefield, but also be good at creating changes at critical moments, forcing the enemy to use their own benefits. A change of direction, that's exactly what we're going to do."

"Forcing the enemy to change?"

Alexei was stunned for a second, then suddenly realized something: "You, do you know where Major General Ludwig is?!"

"Thank you Louis Bernard and his brave militiamen, let the Central Front support the Western Front in advance, and let the flag of the messengers reveal the location of the headquarters." Roman nodded slightly:

"Yes, I already know where it is."

"So where is it?!"

Inside the empty headquarters, Alexei's eyes widened: "Major General Ludwig Franz...Where are the others?!"

The dark-faced Roman looked at the messy map table and did not speak.

But Alexei is not as calm as him... This is not the first time that he has raided Ludwig's headquarters. He had done it once before when the Weeds was defeated, and he failed in the end.

Now the scene of less than half a month has come again, and it has also broken through the empty door. A very natural thought emerged in the mind of the second infantry commander:

Could this be a trap?

Using inertial thinking, deliberately put on a fake headquarters to deceive yourself... No! It is to deceive the commander-in-chief, and then attract the main force of the Storm Legion into the carefully arranged trap encirclement, and annihilate this, this, this...

This is very possible!

The trembling Alexei's heartstrings were so tense that he was about to forget to breathe; when he thought of himself jumping into the encirclement, he would most likely send out a signal that would attract friendly troops to gather here, as if the sky had collapsed in despair. enveloped his mind.

What should I do, what should I do to stop the war situation from getting worse? !

"Let's set fire to it."

"Fireproof?!"

Alexei looked inexplicable: "You, you mean..."

"Major General Ludwig isn't here, and he can't confirm whether the headquarters in front of him is real or not, so just set fire to it and completely burn it down." Roman said coldly:

"It can not only cause chaos, but also organize the surrounding troops to approach this side... The most important thing is that we have been exposed, and we will definitely be surrounded by the jihadist army later. It is better to directly burn the headquarters and take advantage of the chaos and sail on the western front. The city army meets!"

"Boom!!!!"

At this moment, on the Confederate army position on the other side of the battlefield, a beam of fireworks rose up, making a sharp and sharp noise in the sky.

Not only Alexei and Roman, everyone...including everyone who was fighting with blood, all raised their heads subconsciously and looked at the place where the fireworks rose.

Although it is daytime at this moment, although there is only a very short moment, it is like the accompaniment when the drama is about to turn; it is fast, bright, and even mixed with a gripping rhythm.

"What is this..."

On the artillery position at the rear of the battlefield on the Western Front, Ludwig, who was standing behind the artillery, looked up at the sky, stunned and muttered to himself, a bad premonition welling up in his heart.

"Legion Commander! The Legion Commander is not good!"

Just when he fell into deep thought, the panicked exclamation of the messenger pulled him back to reality; following the direction pointed by the other's trembling right hand, Ludwig stared blankly.

Then, he was stunned again, and everyone in the entire artillery position was so frightened that their mouths grew.

The rear of the center line position, or more precisely, the location of the headquarters, ignited a raging fire.

And there is a lot of momentum to spread!

This... Could it be that Anson Bach attacked my headquarters... Impossible! He hasn't even been able to break through the frontal position, how could it be... Could it be the second infantry regiment that followed from Yangfan City, but this is too strange, how can they guess that they will command the headquarters every time in which location? !

After hesitating for a moment, Ludwig quickly regained his composure; now that the legion headquarters was destroyed, the unwitting army was almost bound to panic, and it was necessary to stop the loss quickly before the accident broke out.

The Western Front Corps knows that they are behind them, so there is no need to worry, so the key is the central position and the Eastern Front... In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, let the Eastern Front retreat slowly, first gather with the troops in the central position, and get on your own as soon as possible. Rush over to stabilize morale, and then make another plan.

At this time, Ludwig had regretted running to the artillery position to supervise the battle. Due to the smoke and dust, his field of vision was very limited, and he could not accurately judge the battlefield form. He could only make at least a "correct" deployment based on experience.

According to his experience, Anson Bach's army is currently facing a situation of defeat on the western front, and it will inevitably put more combat power into the western front to avoid causing the enemy on his flank; temporarily shrinking the lower east front should be no problem.

As long as there is no accident, he can calmly defeat the weakest link of the Confederate army, forcing Anson Bach and Louis Bernard to obey.

And then... as expected, something unexpected happened.

"According to the Hussars' reconnaissance report, the Confederate Corps on the Eastern Front did not merge with the troops on the Western Front, but launched an attack directly on our retreating right flank; the enemy did not organize a line of fire, and immediately attacked the entire line and attacked directly. Two infantry regiments on the way to retreat!"

"At present, the eastern front position has been completely broken through, and the formation is completely chaotic; because the headquarters of the troops in the central position has been destroyed, the combat units cannot communicate with each other, and some do not dare to act without authorization to wait for orders. , and because of the inability to cooperate, the enemy successfully broke through!"

After speaking, his body was covered in ashes and mud. The messenger who had just rushed back from the fire raised his head and waited for the next order from the legion commander.

Ludwig was stunned.

He was stunned for a long time, and when he finally recovered from the series of bad news~www.mtlnovel.com~, he suddenly heard a very familiar and pleasant scream from the sky; and the sound was getting closer and closer. , getting closer, getting closer...

"Boom——!!!!"

A series of six-pounder shells pierced the sky, took off from the Confederate army's position, and landed precisely on Ludwig's head.

The overly shocked regimental commander seemed to have forgotten that he had previously transferred artillery positions to support the battle on the Western Front, personally commanded concentrated fire, and exposed his coordinates...

The explosion that pierced the eardrum and the smoke that was enough to suffocate the suffocating smoke continued to roll up. The gun racks, soldiers and lead bullets stacked on the ground danced in the wind, like rockets rushing towards the blue dome, and scattered flowers like a goddess. The same is scattered on the ground shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

On the opposite artillery position, Karl and Joseph, who were raised by the archbishop's own son, didn't know that they almost bombed Ludwig into the sky, and looked at the direction of the smoke with joy, thinking about the big stone in their hearts. finally fell to the ground.

And a certain commander-in-chief, who was ready to break the jar because of the complete misalignment of the strategic deployment, suddenly saw a glimmer of "hope" in the chaotic situation:

"That's right... According to the current momentum, he defeated Ludwig's right wing in one breath, and took advantage of the situation to push his jihadist army to the original Confederate army position, completely blocking him in this plain, and had to take the initiative to come. Negotiating...my plan is still perfect!"
