Ultimate Weapon of Magic and Science

Chapter 702: 19. Burning Ister River (7)

Covered by volleys of field artillery and battle infantry, the sharp knife stepped on the soil and corpses that had filled the moat, bypassing a cannon that was half-shouldered and plunged into the mud, through the smoky gap and into the cloth Dacheng. No rebels rushed out of the ruins and opened fire on them. In the silence of death, a golden iris flag rose from the city walls. More soldiers began to advance, pouring into the city through the gap.

"Our troops have entered Buda City, and you have won a brilliant victory, General."

Brigadier General Villar gleefully complimented Hanau. The face of the artillery general was still like an iron plate, making it impossible to spy on his inner world, but the waxed horn beard was shaking slightly. Obviously, he is in a good mood.

Indeed, from the current situation, everything is going smoothly, the troops have not suffered too much loss, the important capital that the rebels rely on-the Buda city wall has collapsed, and their morale may be the moment the city wall collapses It has also collapsed, and the rest of the sweeping can’t even be described as combat. At best, it is just to remove pests.

What a perfect start.

Hanau frowned.

As a big man, Hanau rarely shows his feelings easily. On the other hand, he does not want to let his men relax too early. They still have tasks that must be completed. In addition to punishing the untouchables, he also destroyed all the evidence that was not conducive to the crown prince and the army, and he hopes that it will be completely resolved by tomorrow evening.

Some things can't be too late.

He thought about it and issued an order.

"Order all infantry units into battle, and at the same time let the artillery advance forward and provide direct fire support."

"Comply, general."

"Emphasis on the soldiers again. Seeing any guys who don’t wear Charlemagne uniforms, kill them immediately, not to mention mercy. The bugs here have been dragging Charlemagne’s hind legs for hundreds of years. Miscellaneous has never done anything good. Now is a good opportunity to solve all problems once and for all... no matter what action the other party takes. Kill them all!"

"General?"

The commanders were stunned and asked:

"If someone asks, what should we answer?"

Shooting civilians and killing cities is not an absolute taboo, but Charlemagne’s enemies will never miss any opportunity to attack Charlemagne, especially the Albion, who will vigorously promote the so-called "atrocities"-even if they themselves are no less To do such a thing.

Army enemies will do similar things. Everyone is very good at selective blindness.

It is necessary to unify the caliber first, to avoid future troubles, at least to make the city look like a last resort...

"this is very simple."

Hanau glanced at his men and spoke with ease.

"Notify the Prime Minister and the Ministry of Army: Our army has entered the Buda city, the golden iris flag of the royal family is flying at the head of the Buda city, and the final sweep is currently underway. The enemy troops are mostly armed civilians. The other party refuses to surrender, and we have to Eliminate them."

After a pause, he added:

"Remind the soldiers, don't forget to put some weapons on the body or something that looks like a weapon."

In the blue military uniform, Charlemagne soldiers with triangle hats screamed and rushed into Buda City. They moved quickly and did not stop at all. These soldiers whose minds are full of money, women, murder, arson, etc. are not interested in staying in the ruined old city. They are interested in the bustling city center, residential areas, hospitals, churches-everything they want is there. Whether things like " " nuns or church looting will blasphemy, such things are not considered.

Destroying everything that comes into view, you can plunder the things you can take away. This ancient city and its residents are their dinners-it's that simple. Anyway, this city has long been sentenced to death, who cares about the life and death of the city's residents? The most important thing right now is to satisfy desires.

"It's a rebel!"

A soldier shouted, with obvious excitement in his voice, and the tumultuous gunshots rang in the streets, and soon rang throughout the city.

The troops entering the city found the rebels, and they also fired, unexpectedly. The rebels who had fought hard to resist on the city wall were like a group of frightened rabbits at this moment. After a little symbolic resistance, they simply did nothing and turned to escape.

"They are afraid of us!"

The leader's officer laughed with his command knife, and then urged his soldiers.

"Rush up! Kill all the rebels!"

The soldiers acted immediately. No one wanted to fall behind. They followed behind the panicked rebels. During the pursuit, three and two rebels left the team and ran into the alley. Under the orders of the officers and the spontaneous actions of the soldiers, a small group of soldiers immediately detached from the large forces to chase down those who left the order. Unconsciously, the soldiers are more and more scattered, and the number of each chasing troops is also decreasing...

Until this time, the officers had not noticed danger. On the one hand, this is due to the excellent performance of the other party. In the eyes of anyone, it is no different from the real collapse, making people think that they cannot reorganize and fight back. On the other hand is the inherent arrogance of the army of the Charlemagne family-firmly believe that a Charlemagne soldier can easily kill a dozen rebels. The officer does not mind the word "danger" at all.

From the perspective of the offensive and defensive warfare of the previous city wall, this view is not unreasonable. The Republican National Defence Force is a temporarily formed army and lacks training. Most of its members are farmers who have only hit several targets. Xiong Xinbing recovered his confidence. It seems that there is no danger in chasing such a crowd.

But everything is relative. The smart commander will always create opportunities to make up for the defects of the troops. To put it more plainly, it is...

Nick Nielsen chased less than 20 targets with 50 soldiers, and they huddled together in a narrow alley until a carefully constructed barricade appeared at the end of the line of sight. Aiming at them with guns, the cunning chase objects like rabbits also stopped at this time, and turned to point the gun at the major.

"trap!"

The major shouted the word, and it was too late to shout the "retreat" instruction. In the fierce salvo, the major became a colander.

At the same time, similar things happened in the streets and alleys of Buda City. The defenders of Buda City-soldiers, craftsmen, farmers, poor people, village priests, students, minstrels, priests, women, the elderly, children-jumped out of the cellar and the hiding place on the roof , Rushed to the scattered Charlemagne soldiers, the unexpected Charlieman soldiers were immediately surrounded by enthusiastic "greetings".

The first to say hello. It is a burning bottle named "Li Lin Cocktail". The weapons invented by the citizens of Rudes in the fight against forced demolition are simple to operate and easy to mass produce. A fragile container, enough kerosene, a roll of cloth serving as a igniter, and a box of matches are all the materials needed to burn the flask, and at most some white sugar or rubber is added. Before Haina's strong attack on Buda City, each household prepared at least 20 burning flasks, and even some families had as many as 80. In the current street fighting environment, even small children can quickly and skillfully use this weapon-ignite the cloth. Just aim at the Charlieman soldier under the balcony or window and just drop it. Within a quarter of an hour, a large number of human-shaped torches were lit everywhere. Under the effect of additives, this flame is difficult to extinguish. Some people with knowledge of fire extinguishing try to use fire to extinguish the fire. As a result, the burning area is enlarged.

Out of strong hatred, people neither offered help. He didn't rush up to make up for the knife, just coldly watched the Charlemagne's call sign struggling until he fell to the ground and stopped moving, becoming a pile of unrecognizable coke.

In addition to the burning flask, the new tactics of the Republic’s National Defence Forces also made the siegers miserable.

This new tactic is called "Damebrett": the guards occupy every building near the Buda Palace. Once the Charlemagne chase the bait into the undefended streets between the buildings, they will be immediately Cross fire on all sides and bomb attacks. At the same time, soldiers with excellent marksmanship were selected and ambushed high to intercept the enemy's retreat and reinforcements. The assault companies fell into the carefully set pockets. The entire company of soldiers was killed or captured. Some magician and non-commissioned officers could persevere, but after the soldiers were destroyed, they could not last long. In less than half an hour, the few companies that rushed to the forefront had been wiped out by the whole army.

The temporarily assembled militia also fought extremely fiercely. These peasant children had enough to eat the pains of the food collection team. Many of their families were starved to death, and some of their families died under the command of Charlie Man. Facing the soldiers in Hainao, they behaved extremely crazy. To the south of the Gellert Hotel, which is famous for its luxurious hot spring swimming pool, they and a Corsican sniper joined forces and even fought in a white-blade battle. In the northwest corner of the broadcast building, a group of militiamen even repelled several offensives from a full infantry battalion. The Charlemagne could only watch the siege of the siege from 200 meters away, but they could not go further.

Charlemagne’s artillery and air gunboats can only stare at this time. The gunners and artillery commanders have painfully discovered that because the assault troops are too deep, they have become a mess with the rebels. As long as they fire, they will definitely hit their own people. . The only thing they could do was to try to stop the rebels who began to detour around other friendly forces, and to reserve a gap for the infantry brothers to retreat, and strive for a little time to retreat.

However, such efforts instead pushed the infantry and themselves into a more dangerous situation.

The successive strikes made the retreating troops lose their organization and command. Different troops swarmed into the gaps in the city walls, and now they have only one idea left in their minds-to escape this hell, the farther away from those rebels, the better. Neither the oversight volley, nor the roar of the chief and the commanding knife can stop the torrent of collapse. In the chaos, some soldiers even showed bayonets to the officers and shot at the war teams.

After stabbing a Brigadier General in front of him, nothing was stopped in front of the defeated soldiers. The troops preparing to enter Buda City collided with the defeated crowd, and the soldiers in blue uniforms huddled together. They yelled and shoved, unable to move forward and back. Become an excellent target for shelling.

If Colonel Maurertel still needs someone to remind him what to do at this time, then he is an out-and-out fool, and the Colonel gunners who licked their lips will be extremely ugly. 'S stuff was pushed up.

A water tank or iron bucket on wheels-this is everyone's first impression of "Flying Thunder". This simple weapon looks a bit like a cannon, but it is even made with exquisite craftsmanship, inlaid badges on the barrel. Patterns and art cannons are compared. The "Feilei" gun can only be described by the word "silly **** thick".

However, the ugly appearance cannot conceal its value on the battlefield. This explosive cartridge has many similarities with the heavy mortar gun used in the siege: it is used at a high elevation angle, and the range is relatively close, but the power is amazing. Although it is not as good as the field artillery in range and accuracy, it also has a gap with the real mortar. There are also restrictions on use. However, the range of 200 meters is still sufficient in the road battle where the short soldiers are connected. The power of 10 kilograms of explosives is also quite amazing. In the previous battle of the broadcast building, many strongholds and forts of the security forces were taken away by "Flying Thunder". of. There was no living person in the stronghold hit by the disc-shaped explosive pack, and many of the bodies did not have any trauma, and all were bleeding from seven holes-that is, the damage to the internal organs caused by the shock wave. The Republican National Defence Force lacking artillery weapons is very satisfied with the performance of the "Flying Thunder" artillery in actual combat. I soon fell in love with these weapons that were eliminated by a certain force, and gave these ugly to cute iron bumps a nickname of "Brave Fritz". Before the city wall offensive and defensive wars, I did not want to let them show their faces. Now it is finally time for them to show their might.

In addition to ordinary shells loaded with explosives, many "Flying Thunder" guns were used with personnel bullets wrapped in a layer of steel balls, nails, and broken glass. The 6-pound small guns and other field guns seized were also pushed. Come up. The muzzle was aimed at the past master.

Faced with the crowd of Charlemagne, the IDF artillery had only one thing to do.

"Fire!"

Colonel Maurette waved his arms vigorously. The bright red light and smoke enveloped the Blue Shirts. The miserable cry and the broken limbs flew into the sky together.

General Heinau was anxious about losing control of the troops. When he lost contact with the assault troops, he felt something was wrong. But his remedy for this was to urge subsequent troops to speed up into the city, trying to overwhelm the cunning rebels with numbers. As a result, more than 5,000 people were all squeezed in a 30-meter wide gap. While the general was furious about the situation, his opponent used a cannon to help him correct his attitude.

There was no warning, and the sudden and fierce artillery blow was completely unexpected. From the Heinau himself to the ordinary soldiers, the Charlemagne were all ignorant. After a few seconds, they recovered.

"Where are the cannons of the rebels?! How many cannons do they have?!"

Hanau was almost going to have a stroke, and there were only one after another explosions and fragments of human body flashing occasionally in the firelight. The effect of such explosions could never be created by field artillery. Does the rebels have fortress artillery? !

Cold sweat suddenly flowed from the artillery's forehead. It is extremely foolish to want to rely on the infantry cluster and the fortress cannon. The field artillery under his command can't even touch the other side, but the enemy's heavy artillery can easily remove the unprotected artillery position. If the infantry launched a long-lived charge regardless of casualties and threw a bomb into the opposing artillery position, there might be a silver lining. But the soldiers were in a mess at the moment. There was no command at all, neither the War Corps nor the War Drums prevented this defeat. The enemy’s artillery fire was constantly counteracting any efforts to restore the command system. Several officers who led the team trying to gather the troops soon disappeared into the artillery fire.

"General, what shall we do?"

The staff were also panicked. When they saw several magicians open their barriers and were still flying into the air, the fear in their hearts could no longer be contained. Looking at Hanau with their pale faces, they admired themselves. It's not pretty either.

"Stop attacking!"

He yelled hysterically and said the only correct command in this battle.

"Retreat! The whole army retreats!"

This is a decision that seriously damages the honor and self-esteem of soldiers, but it is also the only way to save troops from the slaughterhouse. Even Hanau, who had always loved vanity, had no confidence to continue the battle at this moment. He just wanted to return to Charlemagne safely with the remaining soldiers.

This is undoubtedly a correct decision. Unfortunately, it came a little late.

"cavalry!"

Brigadier General Veral made a scream that was almost human-like, and everyone followed his hand to the right wing of the battlefield~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Thousands of crown cavalrymen were killed from the smoke, they waved long Spears and war knives, thrusting the Charlemagne closest to them, flew out one by one in the shining light of the knife. The **** cavalry did not look at the headless body, urging the mount to approach a group of brightly dressed Charlemagne officers.

They didn't know who those people were, but they knew that these people's heads must be very valuable. When they thought of the expensive bounty, everyone's eyes shone with wolf-like green light.

Once again dropping the order of "retreat of the whole army", no further specific instructions were given, Hanau desperately wailed, with a group of panicked generals evacuating in the direction of Charlemagne quickly, the air gunboat continued to shoot volleys to stop The cavalry's fierce assault, but those crowned cavalry who are crazy for bounty still chase their prey.

The artillery rushed on the head of a white horse, a horse that he had prepared for the city-style props, and fled in embarrassment along the way he entered the crown. This general who was once energetic and entered the crown collar as an occupier was like a frightened rabbit at this moment, trying his best to escape from the ancient city of Buda. Without looking back, he left the chaotic camp and the poor soldiers who didn't know where to go far behind, and threw them to the crown prince who was soaring. (To be continued.
