Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 469: Rakujo
Chapter 449 Falling City
"Your Highness, we have to stop the attack, so the casualties are too great." Malek said.
The fire in Beicheng District burned for three days and two nights, and finally went out after a heavy snowfall. The eager Norton Family armed forces began to attack Dongcheng District and Xicheng District. However, Vysia Chamber of Commerce armed forces did not give up resistance. They set up barricades on the streets, recruited miners to set up reserve forces, and launched house-to-house competition with the offensive Norton Family armed forces. They must fight for every inch of land and resolutely carry out street fighting to the end.
Federica King City is very large. It was originally a southwestern town of Krissen's Empire. The residents once reached more than 300,000. It has undergone many expansions and rectifications. After Vysia Chamber of Commerce became the master, a large-scale reconstruction project was performed on Federica King City, which enhanced the defense and ruggedness of most of the buildings in the city. This measure has achieved great results in resisting the Norton Family armed forces offense.
Xicheng District is the location of the Vysia Chamber of Commerce Legion barracks, but this large area is not just barracks. It also includes Legion soldier(s) family housing and various entertainment venues serving Legion soldier(s). There are eleven light taverns and brothels. , Laundry room, public bath and Potion treatment center. Vysia Chamber of Commerce's thoughtful care and kind treatment of Legion soldier(s) is also an important reason for Vysia Chamber of Commerce Legion's persistence in resistance. It is impossible for them to lay down their arms and surrender without the order of Chamber of Commerce.
Dongcheng District is a residential area for miners and technicians to which Vysia Chamber of Commerce belongs. As the largest weapon supplier of Trade Union, Vysia Chamber of Commerce has a large mining and forging and refining division. Vysia Chamber of Commerce is most praised for the kindness of the workers in these sectors. Even if it is the lowest level of labor that can be done with strength, Chamber of Commerce also likes to use the latest mining technology and equipment to assist miners in mining. Operations to improve productivity.
In a sense, Vysia Chamber of Commerce is like the previous Japanese companies in the eyes of Lorist. Miners have also become hereditary occupations, and children can enter Chamber of Commerce to get a job by virtue of their parents and relatives. Therefore, the loyalty of these workers to Vysia Chamber of Commerce is also very high. When Chamber of Commerce called on everyone to take up arms to fight the invading Norton Family armed forces, it was a response. As feared before the Lorist sent troops, tens of thousands of miners and technicians have become Vysia Chamber of Commerce reserve military forces.
Xicheng District was turned into small fortresses by Chamber of Commerce Legion. Miners in Dongcheng District piled up debris on the streets to form barricades, and launched fierce street fighting with soldier(s)s who launched the offensive Norton Family armed forces. Under such circumstances, even soldier(s)s with Ballista's long-range attack to assist in the attack are extremely difficult and the casualties have increased greatly.
The role of Chariot Ballista in streets and lanes with complicated terrain is not very applicable. Many shooting circles are covered by buildings, and they are often attacked by enemies and falling objects from the heights of houses. Marek, who was commanding at the front, had to order the soldier(s) to stop their attacks on the eastern and western suburbs.
"Her Royal Highness, we can't go on attacking like this, just two days to fly tigers Legion More than 4,600 casualties soldier(s) , Rock Legion More than 2,000 people were killed or injured. However, none of our goals were achieved, and we only occupied one and a half blocks in Dongcheng District. When this one and a half blocks fell into our hands, they were almost ruins. And last night at midnight Vysia Chamber of Commerce armed forces To the back of us through the sewer soldier(s) In the camp, we attacked, and from the terrain, we are invincible against these enemies who are familiar with the geographical environment of urban streets ...
Malek is telling the truth. Vysia Chamber of Commerce armed forces has a lot of Mercenary-derived soldier(s). They are extremely good at small-scale infiltration attacks and ambush sneak tactics. They fight in a city terrain with complex terrain, such as fish and water. This is unmatched by Norton Family armed forces. In particular, Norton Family armed forces has never encountered such a situation where all the people are enemies. In the past, after breaking through the city gate and clearing the enemy's defensive forces, the entire town fell into the control of the family. All the residents were obediently waiting for their departure. As now, even women and old people will wait for opportunities to carry out sneak attacks ...
Lorist frowned while watching the simple Federica King City urban floor plan spread on the table. This map was put together from the descriptions of the captives and the reconnaissance of the family armed forces scouts. The inner city area is also roughly the shape. The east and west cities have changed a lot because of street fighting. If Federica King City is divided into three parts, Norton Family armed forces currently only occupies the narrowest part of Beicheng District, most of which is still the war zone.
In terms of military strength, Norton Family armed forces currently only has three corps of Flying Tiger Legion, one corp of Panshi Legion, and nearly two thousand Imperial Guard around Lorist, which together add up to about 60,000 people. But after subtracting the casualties of these two days, plus maintaining the order of the refugee camps rescued from Beicheng District outside the city and the personnel responsible for ensuring logistics, fewer than 40,000 combatants could really launch an attack in the city.
Although the heavy armored spear corps of Vysia Chamber of Commerce Legion have been severely damaged, there are still more than 30,000 members. In addition to the city defense force, the newly formed miner defensive armed forces in Dongcheng District counts not less than 80,000. In particular, Vysia Chamber of Commerce is a weapon supply and manufacturing Chamber of Commerce. They have no shortage of equipment. With only a little training, they can equip those strong miners into elite defense forces.
In terms of high-end combat power, Vysia Chamber of Commerce has only one second-level Great Sword Master, and the number of Battle Qi Expert(s) in Golden Rank is unknown. However, judging from the total number of Chamber of Commerce armed forces, they are almost twice the number of Norton Family armed forces soldier(s) entering the city, which is also their confidence to resist the oath of surrender. Just as Marek said, if you continue to attack, you will only lose both. Norton Family cannot afford such a large casualty.
Vysia Chamber of Commerce now makes it clear that it is necessary to fight against Norton Family armed forces, not only in the city, but also on the city walls. A large number of longbowmen are mobilized on the east and west walls to rely on the towers to guard against death and avoid being Norton Family armed forces The north city wall launched an offensive, capturing the entire outer wall of Federica King City and trapping them inside the city.
Lorist originally wanted to win the two east and west urban areas, occupy the city wall with the trend, seize the south urban area, and then besiege the inner urban area to force the Vysia Chamber of Commerce to surrender. Because after occupying the Beicheng District, he discovered that Vysia Chamber of Commerce built the inner city area like a city in the city. The light wall was one meter higher than the outer wall, reaching a height of ten meters. And a special crossbow was also arranged on the wall, with a range of 300 meters. Even the street opposite the inner city gate became a restricted area of Norton Family armed forces. Fortunately, this giant crossbow winds up very slowly, and the number is not large. Only a dozen bolts longer than the spear were fired towards the North District, and the firing behavior stopped.
"His Royal Highness, since they swore to be our enemy, we will complete them. Learn from them and burn the east and west cities." It was Fierce Tiger Ross who said this, and he was also provoked by the resistance of Vysia Chamber of Commerce Anyway, the blocks after the capture are all ruins, so simply burn these blocks first and turn them into ruins before occupying them, but also avoid the casualties of the family armed forces.
Lorist shook his head. The idea of Fierce Tiger Ross was not desirable. Vysia Chamber of Commerce burned Beicheng District mainly because it was a slum area. Most of the houses were made of wood and mud-structured shacks. A large area was burned when the oil was poured. The wind spread everywhere. Most of the houses in the east and west urban areas are made of stone and brick and tile, not to mention whether you can get a lot of fire oil, even if it is burned, it can be extinguished quickly, but it is just a waste of effort.
"His Highness, the three regiments of Rock Legion are deployed outside the east, west, and south gates on standby. Now that the city is deadlocked, can we transfer these three regiments back to make them responsible for attacking? In terms of offensive efficiency, they are better than flying tiger Legion in such street fighting and urban combat tasks. "Joske made another suggestion.
"No." Lorist replied: "The three gates of Federica King City are currently under the control of Vysia Chamber of Commerce. What we want to do this time is to wipe out Vysia Chamber of Commerce and uproot it. So the mission of the three corps is still Standing on standby, waiting for the fish that leaked when the city fell. We ca n’t know if the seniors of Vysia Chamber of Commerce will break through and escape at the last moment. We do n’t know which direction they will choose, so the three regiments cannot move. /
The main key to the current stalemate lies in the top of Vysia Chamber of Commerce. From the captive's mouth, we know that already, this time Vysia Chamber of Commerce except for a vice chairman and a Great Sword Master also stayed at the Chamber of Commerce station of Morante City to handle chores. The rest of the Chamber of Commerce leaders and senior leaders gathered in Federica King City to celebrate the New Year. It's written. So now Vysia Chamber of Commerce is dying and unwilling to surrender. It's no accident. As long as we break through the inner city and capture those Chamber of Commerce leaders and high-level officials, they will naturally let the armed forces defensive forces in the east and west cities drop their arms and surrender. "
"But Your Highness, it is not wise for us to attack the inner city now. Before we won the east and west cities, we rushed to concentrate our forces on attacking the inner city. We will only be hit by three sides of Vysia Chamber of Commerce armed forces. Moreover, the inner wall of the inner city There are also a lot of giant crossbows. These giant crossbows are above the city walls and have a range advantage than our Chariot Ballista, which can easily cause a very large casualty threat to our family soldier(s) ... "Malek said.
"No, we will not attack the inner city and the east and west cities for the time being. Order our family armed forces to shrink the troops to defend the occupied area first, and then Potterfang will lead Thunderbolt Catapult Battalion here in five or six days. By then we will directly Shattered the inner city walls and raided in. As long as the presidents and senior staff of Vysia Chamber of Commerce were captured, the war was over. "Lorist made the final decision.
In the next two days, Norton Family armed forces no longer launched an offensive, but instead began to consolidate the defense line and put on a long-term combat posture. Vysia Chamber of Commerce felt strange, and sent a messenger to visit Lorist.
The messenger is a senior deacon of Vysia Chamber of Commerce. He can speak well, and has a good manners and manners. He said to Lorist that Vysia Chamber of Commerce already is determined, and he must resolutely resist to the end. The current battlefield situation also shows that Norton Family armed forces cannot swallow Federica King City at all. Even if Norton Family invests all its forces to attack aggressively, even if Vysia Chamber of Commerce fails, it will also make Norton Family armed forces pay a very high price.
Nalready is the February thaw period, and the rainy season will come in another 30 days. The two sides cannot fight in the rainy season. The Norton Family armed forces labor expedition, the plan to sneak attack on Federica King City has been defeated, and the planned harvest of King City is lost. , Northern Land has a long way to go, and logistics and resupply are afraid that they will not be able to cope with it. Now they can only sit back and eat. Vysia Chamber of Commerce hopes that Norton Family can understand that their failure is unavoidable. It is better to leave the army and quit the King City.
The messenger said that after the rainy season, Vysia Chamber of Commerce will be able to get in touch with Trade Union, and then the army of Trade Union will continue to flow. By that time, Norton Family would not be easy to retreat. Vysia Chamber of Commerce, which offended one of the Trade Union seven giants, even if Norton Family's Territory is far away from Northern Land, it is bound to escape the revenge of Trade Union. However, Vysia Chamber of Commerce understands the difficulty of Wang Norton Family's life. As long as Norton Family armed forces withdraws troops, Vysia Chamber of Commerce can guarantee that Norton Family will not be held accountable for sneak attacks on Federica King City.
Lorist laughs. Ask the messenger to laugh? The war is not over, it is not clear whose hands Federica King City will fall into, and what confidence can Vysia Chamber of Commerce guarantee that they will win the final victory?
Lorist in turn persuaded the messenger to let Vysia Chamber of Commerce surrender as soon as possible, in order to avoid losing his net worth. As for Vysia Chamber of Commerce, which is one of the seven giants of Trade Union, it has no effect on him. In the eyes of Norton Family armed forces, as long as it is the enemy, it is the target of destruction. Norton Family armed forces never fears the enemy ’s power and strength.
The messenger saw that the threat was unsuccessful, and tempted again. As long as Norton Family is willing to withdraw and return the occupied Beicheng District to Chamber of Commerce armed forces, then Vysia Chamber of Commerce is willing to take two million gold fordes as the ransom for Norton Family's troop withdrawal, and is also willing to provide a batch of food and grass materials for the withdrawal of Norton Family armed forces.
Lorist laughed again, he said to the messenger, as long as Norton Family armed forces captures Federica King City, whether it is two million gold fordes or more, and those food and grass supplies are naturally his trophies. He advised Vysia Chamber of Commerce to give up his arms and surrender. Winning or losing is just a common occurrence. This time Vysia Chamber of Commerce chose the wrong Chamber of Commerce Territory and occupied Krissen's Empire Bodolger Province, so it was attacked by Norton Family armed forces.
Lorist said to the messenger that I hope the leaders of Vysia Chamber of Commerce can learn this lesson. They need Chamber of Commerce Territory to be able to fight the ideas of those countries in the central and southern parts of the mainland, and should not target the former Empire. If the Vysia Chamber of Commerce decides to surrender, Lorist can guarantee their lives and they can choose another Chamber of Commerce Territory to make a comeback.
The messenger was angry. He said that Vysia Chamber of Commerce already was ready to do the same thing. All King City's material warehouses and important places were filled with tanks filled with oil. Once the offense was encountered and the resistance was defeated, the whole city was burned. , Would rather Federica King City into ashes rather than let it fall into the hands of Norton Family armed forces!
Lorist started shooting, publicly vowed that if Vysia Chamber of Commerce did this, he would not let go of any Chamber of Commerce executive, Vysia Chamber of Commerce is waiting to be removed from the Trade Union seven giants ...
Speaking of such a point, it shows that the two sides have no possibility of conciliation, and the messenger of Vysia Chamber of Commerce left.
On February 7, Potterfang led Thunderbolt Catapult Battalion of Panshi Legion to Beicheng District.
On February 9th, Thunderbolt Catapult Battalion launched a sling attack on the inner city, Dongcheng District and Xicheng District at the same time. Vysia Chamber of Commerce armed forces Legion in Xicheng District and armed forces, a miner guard in Dongcheng District, could not withstand the slinging attack from the sky, causing heavy casualties and failure.
About 4:00 pm, Lorist led the Imperial Guard team to attack the smashed and smashed inner wall of the inner city. In order to resist the Norton Family armed forces raid on the inner city, Vysia Chamber of Commerce stayed in the city's secondary Great Sword Master holding a sword. The result was beheaded by Lorist on the spot. The Chamber of Commerce executives and their families opened the Nancheng Gate and fled. At the same time, they sent people to set fire to the warehouses and business areas in Nancheng District.
On February 11, Norton Family armed forces put out the fire in Nancheng District and rescued one third of the grain and supplies.
On February 12th, the miner defensive armed forces in Dongcheng District surrendered the weapon in his hand and surrendered. On the same day, nearly 10,000 soldier(s) abandoned weapons surrendered in Vysia Chamber of Commerce armed forces Legion in Xicheng District surrendered, saving their lives. However, there are still more than 10,000 soldier(s) of the Chamber of Commerce armed forces Legion who stand at the barracks fortress and swear they will not fall.
On February 13th, the fleeing Vysia Chamber of Commerce seniors and their families fell into the trap of the corps deployed outside Nanchengmen by Rock Legion and all were captured.
On February 14th, after rejecting the last surrender order issued by Lorist, Norton Family armed forces launched the final attack on the barracks fortress in Xicheng District with the assistance of Thunderbolt Catapult Battalion. More than 10,000 soldier(s) of Vysia Chamber of Commerce armed forces Legion were trapped in barracks fortress. And more than 3,000 relatives were beheaded and killed. After receiving the good news, Lorist ordered the decapitation of all 2,000 seniors of Vysia Chamber of Commerce and their relatives, beheading them regardless of women, children, old or weak, fulfilling his vow.
Grindia Continent common calendar On February 14, 1887, Andinak Kingdom Northern Land Grand Duke(s) Lorist led Norton Family armed forces to conquer Vysia Chamber of Commerce Territory's capital Federica King City, and killed nearly 30,000 people in Chamber of Commerce and their relatives and Chamber of Commerce armed forces. And use these heads to build a human head tower in the southern suburbs of King City, known as Jingguan.
Vysia Chamber of Commerce was removed from the seven giants of Trade Union. After the news came out in May, Trade Union was frightened and the remaining six giants were furious. The whole continent was shocked by the news.
