Chapter 419: The Beginning of the Fire
A team of horses galloped across the wilderness, and the team was pointing in the direction of Storm City. Alan rode his horse and ran at the front of the team, followed by Regis and the others, followed by a hundred fire warriors. As for the technical team, it will stay in Sur City for the time being. Wait for Storm City to calm down before Edward sends them over.
"Why is Storm City surrounded?" Lucy rode over to Alan and asked.
She was asking the thoughts of the people next to her, and after hearing that Storm City was attacked, Eren decided to leave immediately, but he didn't have time to explain the specific reason to the others.
At this moment, when Lucy asked, he said: "It was done by the private army of other nobles, I originally thought that the Black Iron Castle had repented, but it was not. β
According to Edward, the cause of the incident must be started more than a month ago. At that time, a merchant group came from the inland sea of the empire and disembarked in Violet Harbor. They had approached the Lily Chamber of Commerce in the hope of cooperating. But after that, he found Storm City-You-You-Xiao-Said-More-New-Most-Fast-WWW.UUXS.CC-The reason is that the Lily Chamber of Commerce acted as an agent for the textile fabrics produced in Suer City, and this kind of fabric quietly became popular in the market once it was imported into the interior of the empire. This foreign caravan came from the name of the curtain, when Alan returned to Earth and Edward went to Storm City to take care of some government affairs.
Upon hearing that Edward was in Storm City, the merchant group approached him, hoping to start a long-term cooperation with Sur City. However, they were not sincere, and after approaching them, Edward heard them offer an unusually low purchase price, so he politely rejected them. Afterwards, the representative of the caravan was very angry when he left, and even let go of words such as asking Edward to be careful.
Naturally, Edward didn't pay attention to this threat of lack of nutrition. The next morning he returned to the city of Sur. But the caravan remained in Stormtown, and the caravan guards were making trouble in the city. Roy, who was in charge of Storm City, naturally wouldn't be polite to them, and ordered the soldiers to arrest them all. The guards were released only after the caravan had paid the required deposit.
The caravan then departed, but it wasn't long before several armies approached the city. and asked Storm City to compensate for the loss of the caravan, Roy naturally would not agree, so those troops were stationed outside the city and surrounded Storm City.
In the end, Edward affirmed: "It's a game, it's a trap from start to finish. The caravan, and even their guards, were just an excuse for the noble army behind them to besiege the city. β
After hearing this, Lucy couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a standard aristocratic practice." β
Two days later, they entered the realm of Storm City. On the grass outside the city, a camp tent could be seen in the distance. There are various flags fluttering in the tent, but judging from the patterns, they can be divided into three types. One is the emblem of the bauhinia flower, and below it is a poisonous snake hovering; the second is a castle perched on a hill with a golden sun hanging behind it; Finally, a unicorn runs through the thorny land.
These three flags and emblems naturally represent different nobles. Alan silently memorized them, and then watched the battlefield from afar, at this moment, the three noble coalition forces were launching an attack on Storm City. Storm City used the two guns on the city wall as fire suppression, and supplemented it with fire/gun teams to form a close fire network, using the condescending advantage to suppress the enemy's attack.
On the side of the steel mill and the weapons workshop, a row of temporary fortifications was erected. Naturally, the defensive performance of these temporary fortifications was not as good as the high walls of Storm City, so Roy placed the shooters equipped with the Source Force Rifle on that side, plus the Mountain King's troops in charge. It's not much easier to capture that factory than to capture Storm City.
The three noble private armies together numbered more than 2,000 people. In terms of military strength alone, it is much better than Storm City. But when it comes to quality, it's a far cry. After Storm City was taken by Allen, the army went through many reorganizations, and continued to add and upgrade equipment, and its combat effectiveness was no longer comparable to that of ordinary aristocratic armies.
In particular, the Mountain King, the Darkblade, and the rifle team armed with the Source Force Rifle are much higher than the level of the average aristocratic army. As a result, although the three noble coalition soldiers were numerous, Roy used defensive tactics. With Bloy, Belmode and other powerhouses as the fulcrum of the defense network, plus the three special forces and the original knights and army of Storm City, they firmly held the position within a hundred meters of Storm City.
Storm City is like a reef standing in the middle of an angry sea, and the enemy army is surging but cannot knock it down.
Of the three armies, one under the banner of a unicorn was constantly storming the positions on the factory side. That army was the most numerous, and half of it was cavalry. These cavalrymen took advantage of the advantages of the mobile arms and constantly organized offensives to storm the positions. A wave of flattening, wave after wave. After each impact, regardless of whether there is a gain or not, it is spread out from both sides, so as to give the follow-up echelon room to continue the attack.
From time to time, one or two strong momentum will erupt in the enemy army, and it is the strongest of the enemy army to carry out a surprise attack. Often at this time, Bloy's rough and tough momentum will rise, and then there will be a collision of source forces as strong as a drum beat on the battlefield. Bloy was very strong and became an important fulcrum in the defensive line of the factory position. He is like a standing god of war, as long as he is in the Mountain King's troops, everyone will be like a rainbow.
After observing for a moment, Alan said to the officer behind him, Udi: "Captain, the war you want is just around the corner, so show yourself well." β
"No problem, sir." Udi turned around and yelled at the soldiers of the Fire Troop behind him, "Boys, it's time for us to put on a show. Let the hillbillies of these planets see the power of our Sirius army! β
The warrior raised his gun and responded with a bang.
Udi ordered two ensigns, waved his hand towards the battlefield, and quietly left with his troops.
The battlefield was full of sacrifices and deaths, but the aristocratic coalition suddenly found that an army without a number or flag, and out of nowhere, suddenly joined the battlefield from the left flank of the coalition army. The trajectory of their advance was clear, and it was extremely clear that it was directed towards the private army with the unicorn insignia. When the commander of that army saw this, he didn't care. As soon as he went, a battalion of knights and three hundred infantry broke away from the team and swept over with fire.
Suddenly, a unit of the fire was divided into two groups, each under the leadership of a second lieutenant to cover and advance each other, and in an instant, they exchanged hands with the private army. Among the troops, Udi rushed to the front. He even bit a cigarette and had a combat knife in his left hand and a pistol in his right. Straight towards a captain of the enemy who was responsible for leading the team, Udi's momentum suddenly exploded, and the combat power of up to level 18 was a real first-class combat power on this battlefield even if there was no improvement in the ability of other equipment.
The enemy commander was no more than 15 levels above him, and his momentum was immediately eaten by Udi. Udi is experienced, and the battle knife skirt uΓ n cherry blossom stepping β descending pocket is taking 5 bean buns cool provocation and running to scar and yaya knocking on the screen Yong η © fiber γ‘ lawsuit Lu Ji 6 Yuan Jiehuan Xuan Xuan paper A (2) η¨Ή N θ―string Ya ζ grain seed luck θ±’θ° acne support sister Yi Huang Fu relieved jealousy forced drought dagger ζγγ‘ D knock Ying γ refute lemon Fu teasing θ Huang Huang wash a flaw. With the twist of the sword, he wrenched the opponent's long sword away, and then swung his left hand, and a point shot directly opened a bullet hole in his helmet.
The captain could not understand to his death why Udi's pistol was so powerful that it penetrated the helmet made of two layers of stainless steel. Naturally, he wouldn't know that the one in Udi's hand was the Source Force pistol.
There was no suspense in the next battle, and the inch-fire troops could be said to be armed to the teeth, with a set of flame soldiers. The warrior's rifle was incredibly powerful, and the terrifying rough voice became a requiem on the battlefield, and the enemy was harvested like straw wherever the guns went.
The inch-fire troops quickly ate the intercepting army, and penetrated and drilled through the enemy's rear. The two separate squads worked delicately together to expand the wounds of the enemy. It was so fast that by the time the commander of the unicorn army reacted, the rear of the troops was no longer in formation. At that moment, he could no longer care about attacking the factory position, and ordered the cavalry to turn around, hoping to eat the support army with superior forces.
However, when the cavalry turned back to charge, Udi smiled and made a gesture. Immediately, the infantry formed a well-layered ladder firing formation, with three rows in front and rear, and a firing formation of more than 50 people facing more than 400 cavalry. In terms of military common sense in this era, even if these fifty people were allowed to gather fire and shoot, the cavalry would sacrifice at most a hundred or so people, and the opponent's firing formation could be dispersed in one fell swoop.
But when he saw the rough rifle in the hands of the inch-fire troops, the unicorn commander's heart was beating wildly, and he always felt that something was missing. As Udi's sword fell, all the Flame Rifles activated the magic pattern, the rifles lit up, and then a fiery missile dragged the bright tail of flame, whistling across the battlefield and leaving a shocking trajectory that fell into the cavalry in a parabola.
Immediately set off a wave of continuous explosions, this cavalry as if it was colliding head-on with the covering heavy artillery bombardment, and hundreds of cavalry in the front row were immediately blown away by the explosion. Then the horses were blown down by the blast, but before the bombardment had passed, another wave of firebombs came in.
His eyes were stung by the glare of fire, and the unicorn commander stood stunned for a few seconds. In this way, more than half of his proud cavalry team was killed and wounded under the two waves of bombardment from the other side, and the speed of the battle damage was too fast. So much so that after two rounds of bombardment, a blinding blank appeared on the battlefield. Before the commander could react, the roaring line of the Raging Fire Rifle rang out again, and the barrage of barrage like a rain of rain harvested the remaining cavalry.
The commander couldn't help it anymore and made a gesture. The messenger next to him turned pale, raised the battle flag and kept retiring the banner. If they don't withdraw, the cavalry team that has been built up with great difficulty will be completely disabled, and the commander can't imagine how he will face his immediate boss after he returns.
This is too far from their original plan! R1058
