I Will Be The Crowned King Chapter 440

The latest website: Under the dazzling clear sky at noon, a thunderous roar came from above the highland on the west side of Daicao Town. The bullet marks were neatly arranged, and they entered the battlefield in an orderly manner. Plasma fireworks.

Eight-pound solid shells, six-pound shrapnel shells, demolition shells... The shells roared like raindrops, blooming recklessly in the dense and crowded jihadist army formation, the terrifying air waves mixed with the roar of shells falling to the ground, sand and gravel. The loud cracking sound, the flames rolled up by the explosion, and the temperature visible to the naked eye, burst out the energy called "death".

The Mujahideen soldiers who had just captured the town of Straw had no time to celebrate, and they were about to cry and struggle under the baptism of artillery fire; the crowded streets gave them nowhere to escape, and the houses that had already been bombed by their own artillery could not form shelters at all. Completely expose yourself to the sudden onslaught of fire.

The blood-smelling black smoke and dust blasted among the ruins almost blocked the sunlight.

In the terrifying shelling, the expression of Boley Lewent was extremely shocked; the fire on the opposite side was extremely targeted. The shells hit from the two north-south heights on the west side of Straw Town, which happened to form a cover that covered the whole city. The angle of two-thirds of the area, and the road of the most central cross is perfectly included in it.

Because the town is not spacious, and the resistance of the defenders is quite stubborn. When the city is invaded, tens of thousands of people are squeezed in, and half of the army under his command is inside; the crowded roads lead to people being crowded, crowded, and crowded. There was no room to maneuver around, let alone concealment—that was completely non-existent.

The straight roads and towns with almost no bunkers left are simply the most popular shooting ranges for artillerymen; as long as they are skilled and a little luck, a six-pound solid bullet can roll from one side of the street to the other, and even crush it. Any flesh and blood on the way.

And the fact is indeed so... One after another, the blood flowers and the smoke from the lead bullets exploded in the crowd, and dozens of limbs and broken arms flew in the smoke; fragmented monoliths and shrapnel shells The exploding lead bullets also swept towards the lucky ones in the back row, ravaging the wailing and screaming flesh and blood like a garlic hammer.

A large battlefield is far away, and only a few traces can be seen vaguely, which does not prevent Bolly Levant from imagining what kind of **** his soldiers are going through.

One minute...a full minute of rapid fire, but in the eyes of Borre Levent, it seemed like a whole year had passed, and it was an extremely long and painful year.

He was fooled. Anson Bach didn't plan to defend Strawtown from the beginning. He probably guessed that he had to take the colony, so he used the town as a trap, and then used artillery fire to ambush himself, which caught himself by surprise. .

Just this round of artillery bombardment just now, the loss that I have paid is comparable to a residual victory... The narrow town and the straight road both maximize the effect of the artillery bombardment, even if the naked eye observes the situation, the number of casualties combined , I am afraid there will be no less than a thousand people.

In contrast, the total number of casualties in the New World Legion may only be in the early three digits; if a little shameless, Ansen Bach could even declare it a glorious victory.

With a heavy sigh, Boley Lewent's eyes focused on the Storm Legion, who was still slowly retreating from the West City Gate. With a gloomy face, he raised his right hand and prepared to order the cavalry to regroup and mount, and pursue this group of opposing factions. come bait.

Although it is destined to be meaningless, if the defenders are let go after paying such a large number of casualties, the battle report to the high command will definitely be very ugly, causing the Holy See to be disappointed with the strength of the Levant family, and it will be even more difficult to support itself in the future.

However, he still failed to give the order, because almost at the same time...

"boom-!!"

A loud noise like thunder was suddenly detonated in the center of Straw Town!

There was no scream before the artillery fire, and no exclamation before the abnormality was detected... Before everyone could react, the Straw Town Council, which had buried a lot of explosives, was like a volcanic eruption. The flames shot straight into the sky, and together with the rolled up gravel and rubble, the fragmented corpses reached a height of more than ten meters.

Due to the firepower just now, many soldiers hid in the parliament in order to find cover. The halls and lounges were crowded with people, and there were many guys who couldn't find a place to stay, so they simply lay on the back of the east side of the church. under the wall.

These "lucky ones" who thought they were lucky were bombed to the sky together with the soldiers who were not far from the church.

The rest of the people were not spared either. The air waves from the explosion were mixed with smashed masonry, broken beams and various debris flying around, like shrapnel bombs blasting in the crowd. Shooting, mercilessly crushing, ravaging, tearing apart any flesh and blood that was too late to dodge.

From a distance, the explosion directly blasted a terrifying gap in the center of the crowded street, as if a boulder was smashed on the calm water.

Staring blankly at the fires blazing in the town, Bo Lei, who had been overturned by the overly frightened warhorse, raised his head and stared at the incomparably terrifying scenery, almost lost his voice.

The surrounding officers did not give in too much. In addition to the horror, the pale faces were only a little bit of joy... The people who got the places to enter the city were basically the elites in the Boley Legion, or those who had something to do with the Levent family. , those guys who didn't have a relationship with the legion commander, but escaped this disaster.

But this definitely does not mean that there is nothing at all... The opponent's firepower is so fierce that the number of artillery pieces has almost reached nearly 50, which is the standard of 10,000 or even 20,000 to 30,000 Clovis Corps; If they are overwhelmed, it will be their turn to fight to the death with the enemy.

"So what should we do next, Lord Legionnaire!"

The familiar shout rang in the ears of the dazed Boley Levent. He turned his head to look at his nephew, who was so anxious that he was about to cry, and his drowsy consciousness was slightly awake.

"Let's immediately order to let all the troops entering the city retreat, and they must withdraw from the east city gate without any delay. The army close to the city gate is the leading force, and the army must be kept in order."

The Storm Legion specially arranged the artillery positions on the high ground on the west side. Of course, this can cover the entire straw town with firepower, but the limit of the range is the first generation of the city gate on the east side, and the distance is nearly two kilometers. This distance also maintains shooting accuracy.

Of course, he can continue to attack and directly take down the two highland artillery bases; but on the one hand, he has to push forward against the gunfire on the opposite side, and the casualties are doomed; more importantly, the jihadist army that has just suffered such tragic casualties, I am afraid It is difficult to have the courage to face up to the fort.

Under the balance of the two, it is wise to retreat temporarily and continue to maintain the encirclement network.

As long as the remaining troops can be withdrawn in an orderly manner and losses can be reduced, my side still has a decisive advantage...Bore Levent thought so.

But obviously, Anson Bach, who spent so much effort in setting up his positions and using the entire Straw Town as bait, almost gave away two elite core groups, would not let him go so easily.

Just as the army crowded in the city began to retreat, the second round of rapid artillery fire began.

"Forty-eight artillery pieces, with rapid fire coverage in two minutes before and after, plus the explosives that reimbursed the Straw Town Council..."

In the artillery position on the west side, Carl, who was looking at the battlefield with a telescope, said to himself, "It's too extravagant to come here once in the new world."

"That's right, just after a few rounds of our work, we destroyed the output of all the military factories in Ice Dragon Fjord for a quarter, not to mention nearly fifty artillery pieces - the whole New World can't make up this number." Anson nodded. Agree:

"If there is no big gift from Major General Ludwig in Yangfan City, as well as the private transaction with the Mujahideen Army, such an extravagant and wasteful tactic doesn't even have to be thought about."

"However, after such a round of firepower, half of the jihadist army in the city has no fighting strength for the time being. Even if they can escape, the tragic casualties can at least temporarily dispel their courage to continue to resist... It's time to solve the remaining ones. guy."

As he spoke, he pointed at the soldiers who were howling in the explosion.

"Now... Are you sure?" The adjutant turned his head in astonishment: "The 3rd and 5th Infantry Regiments haven't withdrawn from Straw Town, and the locations of the 4th Infantry Regiment and Shooting Corps are also uncertain, so should we launch an attack now? kinda…”

"It's too hasty, I know that!" An Sen directly steals:

"But the opposite Borre Lewent has obviously reacted, and did not continue to let his main force pass through the town to attack us... In case we fail to stop the army in the city, let them return to the siege position to defend, and Let alone defeat our troops, there is still the possibility of being surrounded in reverse!"

"So we have to do it now, and quickly, not to give Borre Levent any time to react, to completely defeat them in one breath, and no longer be able to organize a decent defense, so that we have a chance to defeat, or even wipe them out. them!"

Surrounding and defeating a jihadist army that was nearly twice his size with a force of more than 10,000 people was an extremely risky operation in itself, and any deviation could lead to a total loss.

Being able to defeat about half of the elites on the opposite side was indeed a pleasant surprise, but it also completely exposed the firepower position of one's own side, and the next battle would be fought within the coverage of the enemy's artillery positions.

If you can't grab the time that caused the enemy's panic, push down the artillery position of Borre Lewent, give him the opportunity to let the cavalry troops withdraw from Straw Town and return to the defense, and finally get through the enemy's encirclement and get behind the enemy. The main force, the flanks will immediately face a serious crisis - the elite cavalry of the New World Legion is now in the hands of Louis Bernard, and Anson will definitely not be able to fight against the opposite side.

Carl Bain nodded solemnly, dropped the cigarette **** at the corner of his mouth and stomped it out with his foot, no longer refuting.

"Wait a minute and let Norton and Julien continue to retreat. Pretend that we are ready to fight a round and run. You can see the movement of the enemy. If there is any sign of the jihadist army on the position, send a signal immediately. The two The artillery positions were fired alternately, and the shooting circle was fixed at the exit of the east gate, delaying the speed of the enemy's withdrawal from the battlefield."

"Okay...but what if the enemy continues to pursue the 3rd and 5th Infantry Regiments and refuse to let them go?"

"That's the time for our lovely Miss Lisa Bach to appear." The corner of Anson's mouth rose, and he turned to look at the girl who was biting the licorice stick behind him. He had long waited for the impatient girl: "The guards attacked in a row, responding to the third and fifth Infantry regiment, at the west gate to stop the jihadist regiment that refused to retreat."

The girl's eyes lit up when she heard that she was named, but she still pretended to be very mature and continued to stay where she was, and pressed the brim of her hat pretending to be indifferent:

"Humph... All the bad guys of the Mujahideen Army will be handed over to the Chief Sheriff Lisa. The timid Karl just needs to hide in the position and direct the artillery to continue shooting."

This girl is really getting more and more cute every day.

The chief of staff rolled his eyes and looked at the confident brother and sister: "Okay... I will make sure that the fire support is absolutely in place, but don't expect more - in case the opposite side finds artillery positions There are only 2,000 shooting soldiers who haven't been fully trained yet, and they can't even tell the difference between left and right, all these hard-earned belongings are all over!”

"Don't worry, this battle will never spread to the western highlands... If you're lucky, maybe not even Straw Town... ah!"

As if he suddenly remembered something, Anson suddenly called out, and then looked at the adjutant with a little urgency: "You immediately prepare the people of the artillery company and the baggage unit, UU reading www.uukanshu.com will take over before tonight. Strawtown."

"Of course, we are not really trying to regain control of the colony, but to destroy as much as possible in the town - houses are to be burned, wells are to be blocked, not a single wheat or potato in the fields is left for jihad. Jun, everything that can't be taken away will be burnt!"

"Of course, it's just preparation. Everything must be done after we have defeated the Boley Crusaders. This is very important... We might have to stay here for a few days." As he spoke, An Sen took the long-lost from the girl's hands. Received the Leopold rifle she handed:

"Remember, don't forget!"

"Okay, I remember it clearly." Carl rolled his eyes again: "Anyway, no matter what it is, it has to wait until you have defeated the jihadist army, right?"

"Broken, did I say so?"

With the crisp sound reinforcement, Anson raised his eyebrows:

"No, I'm talking about total annihilation!"
