I Will Be The Crowned King

Reef Town, August 12, 100 Years of the Saint Calendar.

Twenty-thirty-five, sunny.

"Boom!!!! Boom!!!! Boom!!!!"

The thunder-like sound of cannons ripped apart the silence of midnight without warning.

The fishing village, which had been turned into scorched earth by the imperial ship during the day, was once again ravaged by the cannonballs that swept through the tracks under the stars.

As the roaring cannon flames lit up the earth, murderous shouts exploded in the wilderness of Jiaoshi Town, and rushed towards the fishing village wharf without warning.

"It really came."

Looking at the constant light of the fire on a high ground in the distance, Tashien, whose ears were filled with the roar of shells, was lying on the edge of the trench, and the corners of his muttering mouth curled into a sneer.

The muddy pond-like trenches reeked of the smell of fish and burnt corpses, which was comparable to a biological weapon, but the commander of the fleet was staring at the battlefield with a monocular. Instead, it exudes something like the ecstasy of a drug addict at the moment of ultimate enjoyment.

Under the light of the fire, the shadowy Clovis line soldiers waving the blood-colored unicorn battle flags, lined up in loose columns, densely spread out in the wilderness, advancing towards the villages and towns, reflected in the mixed smoke and sand. on telescope lenses.

Everything is exactly the same as my guess.

Although it is very strange why this Clovis army suddenly appeared in Carindia, instead of Mist or Aiden - according to the information he got, it seems that this group of Clovis also participated in the siege of Iron Bell Castle. War—but if you think about it, the reason is nothing more than supporting Aiden, or trying to retake the port of Calindia.

Probably because the newly crowned King of Hantu couldn't mobilize the powerful lords immediately, so he could only let this Clovis mercenary army take the lead.

That's right, according to the Empire's intelligence, the Storm Division is the "mercenary" that Clovis used to win over and support Thun; otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why a group of Clovis burned, killed and looted in Han soil, and finally let the entire Han The soil is unified.

As for why they would launch a sneak attack on themselves so hasty, a group of Clovis people met a group of imperial people, is there a second possibility besides killing you and me?

Everything that happened at this moment was basically in line with his prediction... It took only a few rounds of artillery bombardment to overwhelm the entire line. Just what I saw was no less than 20 infantry companies in the attacking line, at least 2,000 people. The total strength of the Chiklovi army should not exceed five thousand.

Looking at the offensive on the other side, they probably planned to use a round of onslaught to force themselves to retreat, but fortunately they had no worries when they entered the port of Carindia.

But this bunch of Clovis scum can never imagine what kind of "gift" they have prepared for them.

"boom--!!!!"

With a deafening roar, a 12-pound solid bullet landed in a trench not far from Tasien; the blasting air and explosions shattered the hastily built fortifications, and the soldiers were horrified. A "geyser" with a height of dozens of meters was rolled up in the cry, and countless rubble mixed with dark red blood plasma and minced meat scattered all over the sky.

"These idiots have already warned them, but they have made the trenches so vulnerable!"

Looking at the front trench that was blown down by a cannonball, Tasien, who was almost scolded by the flying bayonet fragments, took a handkerchief from the corpse of the adjutant who was headshot by an unknown gravel behind him, and wiped himself. Blood-soaked telescope.

Of course, he could stand on the flagship deck drinking red wine and eating seafood stew, commanding the naval guns to cover the shore with indiscriminate fire, and using the screams of the Clovis as a sideshow for dinner; Uyghurs are frustrated.

So despite the adjutant's best efforts to dissuade him--the one who had just been shot in the head--Tashion insisted on taking command of the front himself, building up defensive positions, and threw in all four of his infantry regiments plus some sailors, nearly four thousand troops." "The Clovis came to the door.

He's going to wipe out all these bastards!

As an experienced general and imperial knight, he has seen through the essence of this war; it is said that the war between the vast land and the empire is actually still a competition between the empire and Clovis.

The two sides have deployed tens of thousands of legions on each other's borders. After nearly a year, the battle is still inextricable. Neither side can advance an inch. Therefore, they urgently need a breakthrough, a bargaining chip that can break the balance of power.

Han Tu is this bargaining chip.

If Clovis wins, they will get an extremely reliable ally and bridgehead in the south, directly deterring the southern border of the empire;

With the victory of the empire, Clovis's diplomatic situation, which was not very good, will further deteriorate, and he will be double-teamed by the empire's things.

And now their main force is deeply mired in the quagmire of Iser Elf's hinterland, in a dilemma; the only tentacle reaching out to the vast soil is the Clovis mercenary army in front of them!

Defeat, or even wipe them out, the Hantu people who have just built their country with the support of Clovis will be a heavy blow to their little confidence.

Realizing this, how could Tahien miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service!

That old Kasper looked down on me, and sent me a dignified army general to do this kind of logistical chores, right?

Okay, then I'll let you take a good look at how I can change the whole battle situation with only four thousand people!

Thinking of this, Tasien turned his head sharply: "The messenger!"

"exist!"

A recruit with a rifle on his back got half of his head out of the shelter, and saluted tremblingly to the officer, his terrified eyes couldn't help but look at the body of the adjutant on the ground.

"Immediately give an order to the forward position and prepare to meet the enemy; without my order, no troop may leave the position without permission, and may not launch a counterattack!"

"Send a signal to the fleet, all ships will sink their anchors, and the naval guns will cover all the surrounding areas except the villages and towns, but no ship is allowed to fire or evacuate without authorization, and all sailors who violate it can kill it— -Did you hear that clearly?!"

"Listen clearly!" The recruit scrambling to his feet stood up and straightened his body like a spring.

"Send the order!"

"As ordered!"

Looking at the back of the messenger rushing away, the smile on Tashion's face became more and more hideous.

Come, scumbags of Clovis, attack with all your might; smash your head and blood on my impregnable position, and be blasted to ashes by naval guns!

"come!"

With his arms outstretched, Tasien screamed in the sky, and almost at the same time, a six-pound solid bullet fell beside him.

"boom--!!!!"

When the last cannonball landed, the soldiers of the Storm Division shot by Xu Jin finally stopped maintaining the line, picked up the bayonets on their rifles, and under the cover of the skirmishers, began to attack the reef town position in units of companies.

Because it was a temporary trench built in a hurry, there was no preparation in advance, and the empire valued infantry. Many trenches had become muddy ponds before the battle due to water seepage, allowing soldiers to stand in knee-deep muddy water to face the enemy.

But it was so rudimentary, no matter how you looked at it, the position was not broken with a single poke like the officers of the Storm Division had imagined.

On the positions filled with craters and mud pools, the soldiers of the Storm Division rushed towards the position one by one, and before they could open the gap, they were stuck to the ground by the Imperial Line soldiers who were rushing up frantically on both sides; Fight with bayonets, fists, even teeth and boots.

The Imperial Line privates who were standing on the ground had no idea of ​​repulsing the Storm Division at all. Their crooked positions could not even constitute a complete crossfire, nor did they have a ladder or a wide enough front, and the coordinated infantry artillery made it difficult for the Storm Division. near.

It was like a huge swamp, and the Storm Division, who had bet nearly half of its troops, was directly trapped in it, and could not make an inch.

During the melee, the imperial defenders in Reef Town suffered a lot, especially the front-line troops suffered heavy casualties under the double blow of Xu Jin's shooting and bayonet charge; but in contrast, the storm division's charge was also sharp. In addition, especially in the night environment, the support efficiency of the Empire that was standing still far surpassed that of the Storm Division, making the Storm Division's attack gradually weak.

That's Tashion's tactics.

He has had many experiences in confrontation with Clovis, and he is well aware of the deterrence that the Empire relies on to cover artillery fire, as well as cavalry charges and quick maneuvers; infantry... In most cases, it is just a consumable used to fill the front line.

If the cavalry had no room to detour and flank, and the artillery firepower could not hit the enemy's morale heavily, tearing a breakthrough on the front; only in front of Clovis when the infantry line was head-on, it would be difficult for the Empire to take any advantage.

Therefore, Tasien simply gave up the idea of ​​​​defending the front line, put the enemy in, and used sufficient troops to stick to the opponent until the physical strength and morale of the Clovis were exhausted.

As the battle shifted from line-to-hand to hand-to-hand combat, the storm division's offensive slump became more and more obvious; the storm division officers who were trapped in siege kept trying to break through, but failed to break through the heavy siege of the imperial soldiers and fell into a quagmire Can't move.

And once they tried to stop and realign their lines, the muddy trenches under their feet immediately turned into a nightmare for them; these leaking positions were impossible to defend, and exposed the strength of the attackers to the fullest, so they could only continue Endure the stalking of Imperial soldiers.

Faced with such an opponent, Chief of Staff Karl Bain, who finally knew what Ansen Bach was trying to do, simply slowed down the offensive and ordered the front line to switch from defense to offense.

At the same time, he accelerated the follow-up reinforcements, dismantling Fabian's grenadier regiments into companies one by one, mixed with skirmishers to open the way, and continued to interspersed with positions further behind from the positions that were leaking from all sides.

After losing the initial momentum of the charge, the storm division and the imperial defenders who were caught in the melee were no longer able to distinguish each other; especially the "characteristic" gray coat and uniform of the storm division made them extremely indistinguishable at night; , it is more difficult to distinguish.

In contrast, the Empire's iconic bright blue military uniform is very eye-catching at night, but it allows the soldiers on both sides to find a good way to distinguish friends and enemies, which greatly avoids the probability of accidental injury.

And when the storm division slowed down the pace of the attack, the imperial soldiers who strictly followed the order no longer fought back frantically, and instead focused on repelling the subsequent attack from the opposite side.

This surprised Tasien, not because of the "flexibility" of the storm division, but...

"Are the guys on the opposite side of the Clovis? Why doesn't it feel like it?"

The Fleet Commander looked confused... In his memory, the attack of the Clovis regular army was quite ferocious, and they were often able to divide and break through the enemy's positions at an extremely fast speed, making the Imperial Line Corps, who could only maintain a dense formation, be in a hurry.

In fact, Tasien was even prepared for a rout at first, sacrificing two infantry regiments to hold back the Clovis attack.

But now, only the first round of attacks on the opposite side is a little interesting, and the follow-up actually stopped; obviously they can continue to break through, and they are unwilling to make a little sacrifice to open up the situation.

Facing such a "fear of death" enemy army, Tasien now seriously suspects that this group of fake Clovis people.

"Could it be a trap?"

This thought flashed through the Admiral's mind, and then was quickly denied by himself - or whether it was a trap or not, the current situation did not allow him to do what he thought.

The battle has been going on for an hour, and the front-line troops on both sides are completely entangled, and there is no possibility of safe retreat at all; issuing an order to transfer at this time will definitely cause chaos and turn into a unilateral massacre~www.wuxiaspot. com~ As a knight, if he had to be killed by the enemy's bullet, he would rather have the bullet hole in his forehead, not his back.

What's more, his purpose has actually been achieved.

With the passage of time, the battle situation began to shift from the initial raids to positional warfare, and the Clovisers, whose offensive was declining, began to organize fronts and continued to advance towards the imperial defense line without any hassle.

Although this was different from Tashion's original plan, it also meant that the Clovis dregs on the opposite side had completely exposed themselves to the broadside fire of the sea fleet.

All I have to do now is to wait silently, waiting for the sun to rise.

The moment the sun rises above the horizon is the moment when these Clovis people go to hell.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha..."

Amid the thunderous shouts of killing and the heavy rain of gunfire, Tasien was laughing wildly; the frantic gesture made the messenger behind him who replaced the headshot adjutant tremble, mixed with the smell of the trenches, and the pale-faced messenger. The soldier had the urge to vomit.

at this time……

"boom--!!!!"

The roar of artillery fire and the dazzling flames came from not far away.

Tasien was stunned for a moment... There is nothing wrong with this in itself. The stubborn Clovis scum was forced to use artillery fire to open up the situation, which is really a normal method.

The question is where the explosions and firelights are coming from...behind you.

The stunned fleet commander slowly turned his head, and countless roars sounded immediately in his ears; at that moment, the light of the explosion made him even close his eyes.

The sky is full of artillery fire, and the sky is reflected in the day.

The calm sea burns in the day!
