I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 411

"Boom-boom-boom-!!"

The screeching of the air ripped across the sea, blasting the harbour and town of Black Reef Harbor; the quay business district, which had been reduced to rubble, was completely shrouded in choking smoke, and wildfires raged among the rubble. Rising and dancing; the blast of the blast pounded the deserted streets over and over again, ravaging enemies that didn't exist.

Despite the enormity, a fleet that lacked the right lead and could not find a clear target could not do much damage to Black Reef Harbor; the Black Reef defenders and the remaining inhabitants were either hiding in the tunnels of the defense line, or hiding in the well-prepared In the bunker; unless the Mujahideen were willing to plow the ground with artillery shells, a day's play would not change the tide of the battle.

The mujahideen army moored on the sea also seemed to know this very well, so after the rapid artillery shelling, some ships began to emboldened, risking the risk of being stranded or even being pierced through the bottom of the ship, one after another organized small boats and ships. The three smaller ships approached the port, preparing for a forced landing operation.

"Hey, is this about to start the general attack?"

In the dull thunder-like roar, the young knight standing in the coastal fortification looked at the ships that were attacking the pier in groups in the distance, and there was some inexplicable surprise in his nervous expression: "Isn't it? We should wait for the outer defense line of Heijiao Port to get into a tough fight before launching an attack, what is the enemy thinking?"

With an expression of extraordinarily puzzled expression, against the dust on his head and the walls that were shaking with the sound of the cannons, Louis Bernard, holding a monocular, was struggling to see the enemy's movements against the thick gunpowder smoke outside. .

Maybe it's the opposite, trying to use the sheep attack method to attract us to have to draw troops from the outer defense line to reduce the pressure on the western front?

No, no... Even if you really want to attack sheep, shouldn't you increase the firepower and increase the pressure on the defense of the port?

Or is it that the enemy has long anticipated this, and deliberately put on a stance of really attacking the port at the risk of the fleet running aground and anchoring; if this is the case, the price is too high, right?

The puzzled Louis narrowed his eyes and stared at the flag of the Ring of Order that gradually fluttered on the sea level, and his heart became more and more uneasy.

"Send messengers and ask for reinforcements from the outer defense line!"

After a brief hesitation, Louis still felt more cautious and prudent. If the enemy really wanted to land, the more than 2,000 people under his command would not be able to stop the tens of thousands of troops under the cover of naval guns from landing and raiding:

"Let them deploy the five thousand shooting corps of the northern defense line to the rear of the port as a reserve army in response to the enemy's attack!"

"As ordered!"

Looking at the back of the messenger rushing away, the young knight continued to observe the situation in the direction of the port, while he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "So what is the reason... Even the jihadist army in the port has started to attack, and the army on the land has begun to attack. So far there is no movement at all?"

"Don't ask me, because I don't know either!"

On the north side, looking at Bernard's army still standing still in the distance, Carl Bain wanted to cry without tears; although this was not the first time he had been persecuted by a commander-in-chief's perfect plan, he still had a feeling of reluctance. Hit the ground with one head, and simply point to the urge to give up.

According to the result of the initial consultation with Anson Bach, the plan was to let the defenders on the west side of the hillside pretend to be defeated when the two sides fought, to lure Bernard's army into the hillside, and then the second line of defense behind the hillside to block the attack, Five thousand shooting troops, Yangfan City was ready to attack from the north, cut off Bernard's retreat, and formed a siege to completely wipe out.

It was basically an extension of the last Battle of Black Reef Harbor, except that Bernard Morwes retreated too decisively last time, and Anson didn't have many cavalry in his hands, so he could only give up the pursuit; The idea of ​​trying again.

More importantly, this is the only way to avoid Louis and "inadvertently" kill Bernard Morwes - not only because of Ludwig's request, but because this guy is too much for the New World and the Free Confederation. Understood, with him and without him the Mujahideen threat is not the same level.

Facing his former opponent, Carl Bain was not at all unprepared. He even made preparations for the failure of his plan, organizing skirmishers and shotguns to snipe and forcibly assassinate him.

But after all the calculations, I just didn't expect this guy to be motionless and openly pretending to be dead on the battlefield!

If Bernard himself was the only one who attacked Black Reef Harbor this time, the exasperated Chief of Staff would even be ready to take the initiative to fight against this uncooperative guy; but there are still tens of thousands of enemy troops and a large fleet in the direction of the harbor. And it looks like it's already starting to log in!

"Chief of Staff, Marshal Louis Bernard has sent someone to urge him again."

In the commanding headquarters with a strange atmosphere, Chris, the logistics staff member, bit his head and said, still holding the young knight's handwritten order: "Since the outer defense line has not yet started fighting, should we first transfer the shooting corps to assist the port side? defense?"

"Support?" Karl grimaced. He didn't mind lending his 5,000 shooting corps to Louis Bernard to defend the port first, but if the quality of the indigenous soldiers really did fight, and Maybe pull back and flank Bernard?

Obviously impossible!

"Otherwise, send one or two thousand people over to see the situation?" Staff Chris suggested, showing the spirit of being a gang accountant and lending usury back then:

"Let's just say that this is just the vanguard. As long as we confirm that the Bernard Corps really has no signs of attacking, we will immediately reinforce it... Let's put the blame on this first. If it really doesn't work, just pull the local militia left in Black Reef Harbor to be responsible for the logistics to make up the number?"

"If it's the commander of the levies in China who don't understand the military, it may be possible, but that's Louis Bernard!" Carl rolled his eyes, almost laughing at this bad idea:

"Besides, it seems that the enemy fleet is really going to attack the port and send militiamen who can't do anything except send people's heads. Isn't that just adding chaos, and the enemy's attack speed is not fast enough?!"

But he was also very strange: "The main force of the Black Reef Port defenders is the Storm Legion, the Sail City Legion, and the Black Reef Port Militia, nearly 12,000 people, but all of them are in the commander-in-chief's hands, how could Louis let that one go? Hunk... the commander-in-chief didn't look for it, and came to our side to ask for help?"

This... The dozens of officers and staff members present looked at each other in dismay.

Just as a group of people looked around, not knowing what to do, another messenger walked in and handed the letter to the nearest staff member, Chris.

Chris, who had just been scolded by the chief of staff, did not dare to neglect, and immediately handed over the letter. Carl, who was full of question marks, instantly widened his eyes and read it out loud:

"The Northern Front Shooting Corps is not allowed to leave the position, to support the friendly forces in the port, and stand by and wait for instructions - the commander-in-chief of the New World Corps, Anson Bach!"

The voice fell, and the entire headquarters fell silent.

All the officers, look at me, I'll look at you, and in the end, Chris stood up bravely and tentatively said: "That... Chief of Staff, who are we listening to these two orders?"

One is the Marshal of the New World Legion, the other is the commander-in-chief of his own family... The corners of Carl Bain's mouth kept twitching with an extremely ugly face, and he wished to swallow both letters as someone.

Not to mention Louis Bernard's letter for help, it is not difficult to see the defensive pressure in the direction of the port even from the northern position; although the two thousand Yangfan City defenders stationed there are elite, they can only block the enemy for a long time. It's definitely going to happen.

No matter how confident you are in your perfect plan, that bastard... you can't just watch your allies die, right?

Here's the problem... Karl doesn't believe in such a simple truth, Ansen Bach really doesn't understand it, and it is absolutely impossible not to support Louis for such a joking reason; it is impossible to annihilate the Bernard Legion. Sacrifice thousands of elite allies in vain!

So what is the reason why he doesn't support, what is there that he doesn't know, or hasn't discovered?

After struggling for a long time, Karl, whose brows were about to squeeze together, looked up helplessly like a deflated ball:

"Shooting Army... don't move!"

"No, is there really no movement at all?"

Outside the northern position of Black Reef Harbor, Bernard Morwes stared blankly at the position where the military flag stood in the distance, his mind completely blank.

You have already made it clear that you will not take the initiative to attack, why don't you hurry to the port and fight with that bastard, Boley Levent, so that I can get through it smoothly?

Bernard didn't understand, but he didn't dare to make extra moves... Now that the 10,000 army under his command was "spread" on the entire front like pepper, any extra moves might cause the opponent's attack. Being vigilant gave Borey Lewent an extra advantage; at the same time, the troops were too spread out, and it was difficult to command the entire army freely, and he did not dare to engage in more complicated moves.

Bernard, who couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, had to give up, and ordered the army to continue to pretend to be maintained, be alert to the movements of the defenders, and occasionally assume an offensive posture, but never get close to the defense line; anyway, as long as he did not take the initiative to attack, he usually came It is said that the defenders who are being beaten are not stupid enough to take the initiative to attack, right?

Alas, usually?

That **** Anson Bach...is he a commander who can be guessed as "usually"?

Bernard was startled, the strings that were about to be completely relaxed tightened again, and he got up quickly, wanting to order the army to slowly gather and not continue to disperse.

However, before he could speak, the messenger who hurried over brought surprising news: "No, Lord Supervisor, a large number of footprints were found in a line barracks stationed in the northwest. It is suspected that an army has just recently Pass there!"

Ok? !

Bernard's complexion changed suddenly: "You mean, the army of Black Reef Harbor recently sent reinforcements to Gray Pigeon Fort, where the number of troops is far greater than the number we originally knew?!"

"I-I-I-I-"

"Forget it!" Bernard waved his hand to interrupt the stammering messenger, with a slightly impatient tone: "Tell me, how many traces of army movements they have found?"

In case Black Reef Harbor is just a bait and Anson Bach's real purpose is to annihilate the crusaders attacking Grey Dove Castle...

Bernard was in a hurry. With Arthur Hereid's leadership level, he didn't even worry about whether the army would be wiped out, but whether the **** could run back to Sail City alive.

and many more! The only legion commander in Sail City is Ludwig Franz. This guy has a good relationship with Anson Bach; if the Clovis people take the risk and cooperate with the Free Confederacy to annihilate the Empire's Holy War Legion, then...

"boom-!!"

Just when Bernard's heart was in a mess, a loud noise like thunder suddenly came from his ears.

Without hesitation, the guards and messengers present, including Bernard himself, all subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound—unsurprisingly, it happened to be the northwest.

"The messenger!"

Almost in the blink of an eye, Bernard, whose expression had regained his composure again, ordered in a deep voice: "Inform the entire army to give up their positions, and UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com will immediately assemble to the north position at the fastest speed!"

"You, you, and you! You and your cavalrymen also go to different directions to give orders, and notify all the troops as quickly as possible. No one is allowed to delay, and those who violate the military law will be engaged!"

"As ordered!"

Several guards who were named together with the messengers bowed and saluted in a panic, and ran their horses towards the scattered troops; while running, they sounded the assembled bugles; People are uneasy.

Like the cry of a dying person.

Under the banner of the Ring of Order, Bernard with a tense expression stared at the direction of the northwest side, and a bad premonition gradually brewed and fermented in his heart.

Finally, he saw it.

On the top of the northwest hill where the explosion sounded, the fluttering golden irises were fighting and retreating; the soldiers in blue and white uniforms were gradually replaced by the inconspicuous red and black.

One, one hundred, two hundred... Countless Clovis soldiers came up from behind the hillside, biting the outnumbered jihadist soldiers like wolves in the wilderness; and the jihadists eager to get closer to the big army They didn't want to fight at all, they could only watch their comrades swept away by the enemy, and the team that rushed in kept pulling down corpses one by one.

The sound of the rallying bugle turned out to be a prelude to the retreat.

But the group of hungry Clovis people did not rush to attack, but quickly gathered up the formation; behind them, a petite figure with a revolver in one hand and a military flag in the other got out, and pulled the trigger against the sky.

"Bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-bang-!"

Six shots were fired, and Liza Bach, who grinned to eliminate the tiger's teeth, danced the military flag in her hand, and pointed forward with great momentum:

"Everyone - rush - wow ah ah ah ah ahhhhhhhhhh...!!"
