Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 29 A foregone conclusion

“Alien Castle Era (

After Rivet Atwick led an army of 60,000 out of the city, he discovered that the army of the Snow Kingdom was indeed not as strong as before.

Under his attack, although the strength of the opponent’s resistance was far beyond what he had imagined, it was still a lot different from the previous combat power shown on the battlefield west of Weihai City.

Among them, there is naturally a difference between commanders, and more of the performance lies in the overall quality of the soldiers in the army.

“It seems that this idiot Benedict Keogh has learned something in the hands of Xia Guoren.” Although Rivet Atwick is still calling Benedict Keough an idiot, he is serious. You can tell from his expression that he doesn’t underestimate each other at all.

After several siege battles, the ice kingdom’s army outside the city had 70,000 troops. Now there are only more than 40,000 people left. According to Livet Atwick’s plan, how can he lead an army of 60,000. Win against each other.

But after the two armies actually fought, Rivet Atwick found that the opposing army was not as collapsed as originally thought, and instead fought evenly.

“According to the order of the knight commander, all the troops defending the city will go out of the city and attack the enemy’s flanks.” Seeing that his army still has some disadvantages, Livet Atwick was very cruel and directly adjusted the remaining troops in the city. come out.

The emergence of this 10,000-strong force immediately reversed the situation on the battlefield. It turned out that the two sides were fighting with all their strength and the balance was broken by the sudden 10,000 people.

Behind the army formation of the Snow Kingdom, Benedict Keogh was very excited when he saw that his side could still have a local advantage with a smaller number than the enemy in the battle, and after this advantage was still expanding, he was very excited.

Benedict Keogh saw a great victory that was about to win more with less, and he imagined the glorious moment he was about to gain after the victory returned to China.

But the sudden appearance of 10,000 people from the enemy broke his illusion in an instant. Seeing the flanks of his army retreat because of insufficient numbers, Benedict Keogh couldn’t help but become anxious.

“What’s the matter, where did these enemies come from? Resist, to the knight commander.” Benedict Keogh roared and ordered, but he couldn’t help hearing his anger and frustration in his panicked tone.

The joining of the 10,000 new troops in the Northern Cold Kingdom made the outcome of this battle clear. Although the defeat of the Ice and Snow Kingdom is only a matter of time, the stubborn resistance of the new army with 30,000 people left makes this. Time was delayed for a long time, and it was this time that made the whole battle result dramatic development.

On a high ground not far behind the Ice Kingdom Army, Xiang Chen had waited for many days and the Marine Brigade of a battalion under his command. At this moment, Xiang Chen who saw this situation secretly said: “Time Arrived!”

“Brothers, although the Ice and Snow Kingdom drove us out of the battlefield, they are also a vassal state of Daxia. We can’t just watch them defeat.”

“It seems that we still have to wipe their **** in the end, haha !” Xiang Chen mobilized the 1,500 soldiers in front of him before the war. With the last joke, he saw it almost. After looking around, he waved his big hand, “Go!”

The total strength of the two countries engaged on the battlefield exceeded one hundred thousand. It stands to reason that even if Xiang Chenlian brought his 1,500 soldiers into the battlefield, it would be only a drop in the bucket, and it would not have much effect.

But this is only theoretical, because the 1,500-strong Xia country’s army alone has to be converted into a new army’s combat power to exceed 10,000, not to mention the various meanings it itself represents.

In the eyes of outsiders, the appearance of Xia’s army represented invincibility, invincibility, and indomitable momentum.

So at this time, Xiang Chen led a battalion of soldiers to appear on the battlefield. Whether it was the Snow Kingdom or the Northern Frost Kingdom, it brought two completely different impacts to the soldiers on both sides.

For the ice kingdom army, although the current situation is dangerous, the Xia state army of his own appeared behind him, which represents the hope of turning defeat into victory.

For the soldiers of the Northern Cold Kingdom, it is a bad thing that the enemy army has continuous reinforcements, but the enemy’s reinforcements are still Xia’s army, and that is even worse among the bad things.

With Xiang Chen’s support, the army formation of the Ice and Snow Kingdom suddenly exploded with infinite combat power, not only stopping the defeat, but even having a counter-offensive posture.

In fact, in the army of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, especially the new army of about 30,000, after the departure of the generals of the Xia Kingdom, although their own combat power has not diminished, they are missing the most important point—that is, they must Conviction of victory!

Originally, under the command of Xiang Chen, these new troops had the highest morale and will to fight. At that time, in their eyes, the enemy troops were used to defeat them.

It was like this time that the new army had lost consecutive battles under the command of Benedict Keogh, and had almost consumed an elite division.

But now that Xiang Chen reappeared on the battlefield, this reintroduced the belief in victory to the remaining less than ordinary new troops, and restored the combat power of these new troops to their peak in an instant.

It is completely different from the sudden burst of morale in the army formation of the Ice and Snow Kingdom. The morale of the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom suddenly began to decline after the Xia Guo reinforcements appeared, especially after the army formation of the Ice and Snow Kingdom suddenly broke out. It is plummeting.

After a battalion of soldiers from Xia State started a volley of guns about 300 meters away from the enemy on the side of the battlefield, the enemy forces in this direction on the battlefield were shot down.

According to Xia’s military system, an infantry battalion of 1,500 soldiers was divided into five infantry companies, each of which had 300 soldiers. This was also the number of rounds fired during combat.

With the equipment of the front-mounted rifled flintlock, its ultra-long range allows the five-five system of Xia’s army to fully play its role-the effective range of more than 500 meters and the five-stage shooting method make the army fundamentally effective in combat There is no fire break.

The loading of the new-style flintlock is very convenient and fast. After each shooting, the soldier only needs to retract the rifle and stand in front of his chest, and then take out a fixed-loading bullet wrapped in greased paper from the pill box on his waist, and bite it with his teeth. Open one end of the cartridge, pour gunpowder into the barrel, and then take out the warhead from the other ammunition box and put it into the barrel as well.

Because this round-head cylindrical lead shell has a slightly smaller caliber than a rifle, it can be easily pushed into the barrel with a push rod. After the ammunition was ready, the soldiers finally picked up the rifle, reset the flintlock, loaded the stimulant, and finally aimed and fired, thus completing a round of shooting action.

According to the training situation, the slowest rate of fire per minute is three rounds, and the fastest can reach five or six rounds per minute. It is precisely because of such a fast firing rate, coupled with five-stage shooting, that this is facing the summer. The soldiers of the Northern Cold Kingdom of the Chinese army are caught in a round of 300 rounds every two seconds or so.

The Marine Brigade left only one infantry battalion. In addition to the fact that no more troops were used, it was also for the convenience of movement. After all, the heavy artillery was not a joke.

If at this time can get the support of a round of artillery, the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom will be hit harder, and the defeat will be faster.

Although the Knight Commander Rivit Atwick of the Northern Frost Kingdom worked hard to maintain the order of the army, he was defeated if he failed, and it was impossible for him to transform into a new force.

Fortunately, there is a city behind him, so that he will not be defeated and defeated.

Seeing the situation on the battlefield, Rivet Atwick was powerless and decisive. He immediately ordered the withdrawal of troops back to the city while his army had not yet been defeated.

If you wait a while, the defeat will turn into a rout, and then Rivet Atwick’s orders will have no effect, and it will be really helpless. At least now Rivet Atwick has ordered the withdrawal of troops. The important role of restoring the situation.

After the Northern Cold Kingdom left the corpse in the ground, it successfully withdrew most of its troops back into the city, which made Benedict Keogh who had originally planned to pursue a victory and pursue it a bit to the chagrin.

It would be good if the enemy was defeated earlier, and it would be good if Xia Jun came earlier…Such words now appeared in Benedict Keogh’s mind, but he did not dare to say it.

…

“The Great Xia Empire is here to the general!” With a loud shout out of the account, Benedict Keogh took advantage of Xiang Chen’s approach and took two steps forward, with a smile on his face: “Welcome to the general. ”

“You’re welcome.” Xiang Chen waved his hand, regardless of the good expression on the opponent’s face, he directly said his intention: “This general is here to harass, to say goodbye to the knight commander.”

Hearing Xiang Chen’s words, Benedict Keogh’s smile froze in an instant. He was already mentally prepared to hand over his military power again, but what he didn’t expect was that the other party would let him Come to say goodbye to him, which surprised Benedict Keogh.

If it hadn’t been for the previous battle, Benedict Keogh would have been eager to go back to Chen Chen, when he would be able to firmly control the power of this army.

But it was precisely because of the previous battle that made him understand the gap between the two Here is about to defeat the enemy, reclaim the land, and even hope to completely eliminate the Northern Cold Kingdom. If this time Xiang Chen went back, does he have this ability?

Before Xiang Chen arrived, Benedict Keogh wanted to understand that Xia Guo should not be able to look down on their unsatisfactory army, so now he is the one who most hopes Xiang Chen can stay.

“Why is General Xiang going back now? Can’t you wait any longer?” Benedict Keogh didn’t have the smile just now, and all that was left was anxious.

Xiang Chen heard this secretly and said that what he wanted was this time! If it waits for a while, the army of the Ice and Snow Kingdom will be completely defeated by the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom, it is not in Xia Guo’s interest.

But Xiang Chen couldn’t say so clearly, so he pretended to be helpless and replied: “Your Excellency Knight Commander, it was time to go back when the general was handed over to the general. It’s just that I’m a little worried. It’s been a while now. The enemy has no counterattack, and General Li has urged it several times. This general has no reason to stay.”

“Isn’t the enemy completely defeated?” Hearing Xiang Chen Qu’s determination, Benedict Keogh couldn’t help becoming more anxious.

Hearing this, Xiang Chen’s face was stern, and he said unceremoniously: “Your Excellency Knight Commander! This was originally a war in your country. My Daxia just tried the best of the relations between the two countries to rescue your country. Now the rescue is successful. What happened after that has nothing to do with Daxia!”

Benedict Keogh saw a picture of Xiang Chen who was working on business, but he opened his mouth several times but didn’t know how to persuade him to stay.

Although Xiang Chen’s words are a bit heavy, they are the same. In addition, Xia Guo’s intentional actions have allowed the Ice Kingdom and the Northern Cold Kingdom to form a balance, so Benedict Keough’s hopes are destined to fail.
