Chapter 209: Angry battle situation, night massacre

Frontline battle reports will be truthfully reported to Gudern every day.

When watching the rebels suddenly retreat and make different moves, Gudern was also thinking and guessing what conspiracy the other party had in this step.

Judging from the original fighting style of the rebels, such a retreat is indeed a bit strange.

The previous attacks in the three cities ended with the complete annihilation of the rebel army.

The Imperial Army also issued orders more than once to lay down their weapons and surrender, but none of the rebels surrendered or escaped.

The bloody battle to the end not only shocked the soldiers on the front line, but even Olek, who had experienced strong winds and waves, was confused when he saw it.

This kind of war situation has only been fought against orcs, but it was a decisive battle to the death, followed by a super legendary supervising the battle, and escaping and surrendering was simply impossible.

But the rebels, faced with such horrific killings by the imperial army, refused to surrender or escape until death. This thing itself was already very weird, and now the sudden retreat had also reached his hands. Consider what the rebels are planning.

However, he had very little internal information about the rebels. Faced with this battle situation, Olek could only give military orders to be careful, and then he did not pay attention to the war in the north, but focused on Commanding the withdrawal of troops from Sandcastle in the Northern Desert.

On Gudern's side, he was still very concerned about the situation on the front line. The unusual transfer also made him slightly more defensive. He transferred the 2nd and 7th Battalions who were behind to help clean up the remaining rebels to Xinwa overnight. Around the city, be ready for support.

The second battalion was originally stationed in Jinyuan City for defensive tasks, but now that there are imperial troops dedicated to Qingyuan, the defensive tasks have also been transferred to them.

At the same time, the 30,000 Qingyuan Empire soldiers selected have also completed the most basic training tasks.

Without the bonus of the military camp entry, the training of new recruits would take more than two months at the earliest, and it would normally take three months.

The people of the Third Imperial Army Corps had only studied for less than ten days, and at most they had only scratched the surface, far from meeting the graduation standards.

Although after only learning a few skills, he was able to kill everyone on the battlefield. This effect has satisfied the empire's senior officials, but for a person like Gudern who strives for excellence, this little time is simply not enough.

And for this batch of new recruits, Gudern does not need them to jump into the battle right away. He can afford to keep them without training.

Gooden, the frontline battlefield commander, cannot personally arrange the deployment, but he can still make decisions and arrangements for the mobilization of reserve reinforcements.

After receiving the news, the reinforcements set off immediately and arrived at the predetermined location late that night to prepare.

On the battlefield in this situation, a move by the rebels suddenly made the surrounding situation tense.

Not only the Qingyuan Army is making preparations, but the Imperial Army is also arranging troops to move forward, not to mention the rebels. Towns large and small have sent many troops to Xinwa City and Pavo City. the pass between.

For the rebels, these two cities are already the last two lines of defense. Once they are breached, the supporting imperial reinforcements will be able to encircle the area where the imperial army is attacking from the front and rear.

In this way, the safe passage will also be opened, and the Imperial Army can also evacuate along this passage.

Although the orcs on the other side are already trying their best to attack, the Broken Vein Fortress, which has been upgraded for seven or eight hundred years, is itself a super war city.

Every building was built for war.

For such an unbreakable city, even if the Empire does not withdraw its troops, the Broken Vein Fortress can persist for several months under the siege and attack of the orcs and rebels.

But the consequence of doing so is that the entire army will be annihilated, and the empire will lose nearly one-fifth of its total strength in one fell swoop.

Early morning on February 11th.

After the assembled Imperial Army and Qingyuan Army completed the handover of defenses, they headed straight for the pass to attack.

The rebels placed the battlefield here, and for the coalition forces, they would lose artillery support.

However, even if they lose the support of artillery, they still have a weapons advantage for the coalition forces.

A rifle attached to an individual is the most terrifying killing weapon. The suppressive power of one person's attack may be very limited, but the suppressive and destructive power caused by the continuous attack of thousands or tens of thousands of people can be very considerable.

Troops equipped with rifles and artillery are a pure dimensionality reduction attack for other conventional armies in this world.

Even the rebels who are not afraid of life and death can hardly cause much damage to the imperial coalition forces. The situation on the battlefield is just a one-sided massacre.

If we insist on saying that the rebels have any role, it may be that they can really delay the advance of the imperial coalition.

As the attacker, the coalition also felt limited by the size of a deployment.

The terrain of the North is not as flat and stable as the Fenggu Plain. The main terrain of the North is hills and mountains. This special terrain requires that some sections of the route need to pass through layers of mountains in order to quickly reach the other end. Otherwise, it is necessary to Take the long way around.

The limitations of the establishment, coupled with the constant stream of rebels coming to support, made the advance of the pass extremely slow. It took only one morning to advance half of the distance.

The rebels have launched dozens of assaults against the imperial coalition's attacks. In the narrow pass, these dozens of attacks still put a lot of pressure on the coalition forces.

Even with the suppression of weapons, there are still a lot of losses in close combat.

Even when the rebels attack, they will try to steal the weapons of the imperial coalition.

Fortunately, this batch of weapons were upgraded to the core functions of fourth-generation weapons. The stolen weapons could not be turned around to attack Imperial soldiers, thus avoiding greater losses.

After dozens of charge attacks, the battlefield where the imperial coalition attacked was covered with corpses of rebels. The number of casualties in one morning was conservatively estimated to have exceeded 100,000.

Under such horrific casualty conditions, the rebels had no extraordinary supervision and no clear and strong belief support. Under such circumstances, they did not collapse and withdraw. Such a strange scene was not only a bit scary for the frontline soldiers.

Even Gudern, who had received the information from the rear, could not help but frown.

The rebels were so weird. Even Anna, who had already rushed to the battlefield, found nothing unusual about the rebels during her secret investigation.

This abnormality refers to being controlled by others, or using evil magic, etc. But everyone in the rebels is a normal person. The only difference is that their cohesion is very high, and they are fearless even in the face of life and death.

At the same time, under such combat, the rebels also found a way to deal with this weapon, then dig trenches!

Since they had no way to stop them from being attacked by such a powerful weapon, they would just use the ground as a cover to defend themselves.

The task of the rebels is to defend, while the imperial coalition needs to attack. The rebels hide in trenches and can effectively resist direct damage caused by firearms and artillery shells.

Gudern had already expected this situation to happen.

After all, they are facing serious human rebels. They are not mindless and reckless like the orcs. The rebels will try to use all terrain and tools to protect themselves.

And on such a bloody battlefield, it is not difficult to learn how to deal with it. After that, the rebels no longer launched a charge, but waited for the imperial coalition to advance before engaging in close combat.

Such changes will make it more difficult for the Imperial Alliance to advance progress.

At the same time, behind the pass, the rebels also gathered more than 300,000 people, showing their determination to defend. This situation caused the coalition to change their battle plan.

Relying on the mobility of the magic truck, he led a group of people to make a decisive detour and attack from the rear to get through this place.

For a battle of more than 300,000 people, relying solely on the less than 20,000 imperial troops on the front line, it would be difficult to fight out from the pass, and it would require the cooperation of more troops.

Of the 50,000 members of the Third Army, 15,000 were stationed outside the pass to prepare for rotational battles. 10,000 people boarded the vehicles to take a detour. Later, another 10,000 people had just been transferred from the rear to rest and were staying in Xinwa City.

The remaining 15,000 people, together with the 16th Legion and the Paladin Legion that caught up later, moved forward together to clean up the remnants of the surrounding rebels and strengthen defenses.

In response to the rebels who changed the defense of the city, the imperial coalition's attack on the pass also slightly slowed down.

In the evening, the engineer company that was ready stepped forward and arranged night lighting and defensive measures for the frontline positions.

Attacking at night has certain disadvantages for the imperial army, so when night falls, the battlefield is rarely peaceful.

At this moment in Xinwa City, Falcon was listening to the various news reported by his subordinates, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised that this special magic weapon not only had powerful killing properties, but also had its own binding function.

This made him have to slightly change his plan to prepare an ambush at night, but now all the residents of Xinwa City have descended and possessed themselves to become divine warriors, and the imperial troops who have moved in have already been surrounded by them.

The modification of the plan only made slight adjustments to the armory's attack and did not affect the overall deployment.

After adjusting the offensive mission, Falcon quietly waited for late night to arrive, wanting to see what kind of combat capability the Imperial Army could unleash under such circumstances.

Xinwa City is located on the front line, and the Imperial Army enforces a curfew at night. The only people still roaming the streets at this moment are the Imperial Army's patrol guards.

At the same time, on the brightly lit city wall, there are also Imperial Army squads patrolling and inspecting to guard against any possible hidden dangers.

Late night fell quickly, and except for the whispers in the military camp, the quiet Xinwa City was so quiet that it was a bit scary.

And in every residential house, whether they are old people or children, they are crouching quietly at the door of their homes, waiting for orders to set off at any time.

In some dark alleys, groups of well-equipped rebels are also waiting.

As the patrol information came back from various streets, Hayabusa confirmed that the time had come and issued the killing order in his mind.

The rebels who received news of the attack each held different weapons in their hands, some were daggers, and some were hammers. They didn't have good weapons, so they picked up sticks as a handy piece of equipment.

On the quiet streets, under the deliberate control of the rebels, the residents who emerged did not make much noise.

The timing of their coming out was just when the patrol team had just passed by. In a short period of time, the imperial army would not notice the movement here.

It is not a secret to the residents of Xinwa City that the imperial garrison is heavily stationed.

And through deliberate detection, the rebels had already found out exactly where the imperial army was stationed and how many people there were.

With the orderly assembly, more than 60,000 residents quickly moved out to surround them under the eyes of the imperial army.

"Who's there? Password!"

The patrolling soldier felt an unusual smell while walking on the street. He spotted a figure flashing in front of him and immediately scolded and asked.

But before the patrol team members could react, dozens of arrows and crossbows flew out of the darkness.

"Puff...Puff..."

The unresponsive patrol team members were instantly shot into hedgehogs by arrows and crossbows.

However, the imperial soldiers who reacted quickly activated the energy shielding protection immediately and sounded the enemy attack signal immediately.

"Enemy attack!"

"Boom - bang -"

A signal bomb instantly rose into the sky and exploded in the night sky.

The alert soldiers who were still awake immediately stood up to check the situation, but suddenly a large number of 'civilians' appeared outside the gate and attacked them.

The sudden siege and attack prevented the resting Imperial Army from reacting. Many people were killed by the influx of people in an instant.

The soldiers on guard on the city wall saw that something was not quite right and immediately fired the flares.

Under the guidance of the light, the situation in the city made them take a breath.

The dense crowd on the street was approaching them, and rapid gunfire erupted in the camp yard not far away.

On the streets, the heavily armed rebels were fighting with the patrolling soldiers. The ten thousand-strong imperial garrison was surrounded in an instant.

When the city wall empire garrison commander saw something was wrong, he immediately took over combat command.

"Level 1 combat preparation, indiscriminate attack, notify the Qingyuan Army and other friendly forces outside the city, and request support."

"yes!"

The Imperial Army also has a small amount of communication equipment. After receiving the order, it immediately contacts the surrounding armies to inform them of the current situation.

The 2nd Battalion and the 7th Battalion, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately sent out their own security troops. Each of the two battalions sent an advance infantry company to set off, and then other personnel quickly assembled to prepare for combat.

The sudden night attack caused serious losses to the Imperial Army stationed in Xinwa City.

But fortunately, the Qingyuan Army provided timely support and arrived in the city in less than ten minutes and immediately launched a suppression. At the same time, Buniton, who was on the front line, also personally brought two companies back to prevent unnecessary situations from happening. .
