Heart of Empire Chapter 501: Dragon flying in the night sky
On October 11th, at dusk, the Battle of the Iron Horse's Grip began. Ω』Ω『E novel WwnW. 』1XIAOSHUO. COM
Most of the coalition forces are concentrated less than five kilometers east of the town. The two infantry regiments running at the forefront had already launched a round of tentative attacks on the Iron Horse, but they were quickly repelled.
The failure of the tentative attack did not explain anything. Soon, the main force of the coalition launched a violent attack.
The Knights of Victoria were dispatched directly, with the assistance of the elite troops of the Principality of Florence and the 36th Heavy Infantry Column. Just one round of offensive broke the city gate held by the iron horse.
Admiral Mars, who came from the Kingdom of Victoria, rode his horse through the city gate, looked at the flagpole that had been cut off, and the flag of the White Wolf Army that was trampled beyond recognition by the horses and footprints, and said contemptuously: " The so-called White Wolf Legion is nothing more than that."
Beside him is the commander of the thirty-sixth column, a colonel of the Duchy of Florence. He complimented from the side: "Yes, that's all. Under the blade of your Victorian Knights, no legion can stop it."
His words were full of flattery, but at the same time, they also represented a part of the true thoughts of Colonel Florence.
After witnessing the battle of the Victoria Knights, he was indeed full of admiration and even fear for this army. Before, those white wolf guards guarding the city opposite were obviously elite troops, at least no worse than their own subordinates. However, an entire regiment of white wolf guards, with the assistance of almost the same number of crossbowmen, could not withstand the charge of the Victoria knights.
These powerful knights galloped their horses, and with one round of impact, they overwhelmed the white wolf guards lined up in front of the Iron Horse Grip gate!
His thirty-six columns were of no use in the battle at all, except that after the Victoria Knights smashed the White Wolf Guards on the opposite side, his soldiers pushed the siege engine to the city gate held by the iron horse. Apart from being smashed, there are only some jobs left to clean up the battlefield.
In the past, with the temperament of the proud soldiers and warriors of the thirty-six columns, if they were to clean up the battlefield, the sky would definitely be turned upside down. This time, however, they had no complaints.
Almost every soldier was shocked by the heroic posture of the Victorian Knights. They even felt that it might be an honor to be able to fight side by side with such a troop and clean up the battlefield for them.
The news that the gate of Iron Horse's Grip was breached quickly spread back to the coalition headquarters. When Earl Sade learned that Admiral Mars had led his troops into the city and began to eliminate the Hindlers in the city at an extremely fast speed, he was very relieved.
"The Victorians are really capable." Earl Sade said to the people around him.
"Yes." Another high-ranking official of the coalition army answered, Earl Sneijder from the Kingdom of Pudley, "Compared to the previous commander of our vanguard, General Mars and his The army is indeed very strong."
There is some sarcasm in this statement. The so-called former vanguard refers to the army that was defeated by Schindler's General Sako. The commander of that unit was a trusted aide of Thaad. As a result, not to mention the defeat, the commander ran away as a deserter.
Sneijder was very upset that half of the Silver and White Knights in his hands had been thrown into the hands of such an incompetent person. This is an opportunity, and of course I have to make some sarcasm about Sade.
Earl Sade also knew what was going on in Sneijder's mind. It was certainly an unpleasant thing to be ridiculed, but he couldn't say anything. After all, in this matter, it was his own people who had a problem, and it was hard to shirk the blame. Not only was it meaningless to argue, but there was no possibility of victory.
He could only change the topic to the business: "The whole army can attack, we must strive to hold the iron horse in our hands before dark, and then we can have a good night's rest. Think about it, Schindler After the encirclement of people is completely broken by us, there is no way for them to re-encircle in a short time, right? We can leave early tomorrow morning, return to the city of Bauhinia with full energy, and then think about the next step Strategic action.”
Sneijder had no other comment on this.
Soon, the coalition forces moved. The mighty tens of thousands of people began to march towards the grip of the iron horse. All the troops that entered the town were temporarily assigned to the unified command of General Mars, and began to wipe out the uprising at the fastest speed. The Schindlers in the city.
The process went very smoothly without any accidents. The Schindlers' will to resist does not seem to be that strong, and it did not cause too much trouble to the attacking coalition forces at all.
After the sky was completely dark, the battle situation in the town was basically clear. Scattered resistance remains, but the Schindlers have completely lost control of the city.
This process was smooth and even somewhat unreasonable.
Whether it was Earl Sade, Earl Sneijder, or Admiral Mars in the city, they were not too suspicious. Although the enemy's resistance was much weaker than expected, this incident can actually be attributed to the Knights of Victoria. This powerful knight group does have impressive combat power. The battle led by them has become easier, and there seems to be nothing strange about it.
But this relaxed state of mind is exactly what Patience wants.
At this moment, the elf ranger general is ten kilometers away from the city of Iron Horse Grip. She said to Sacco next to her: "It's hard work for you to play such a scene with the White Wolf Army."
Sacco grinned and said: "It's nothing hard or hard, things are proceeding step by step according to the plan. It's already night, and the soldiers of the coalition army are also slowly entering the city. The manpower stationed in the Grip of the Iron Horse has basically dispersed, and the 'Big Feast' operation should officially start, right?"
"Of course!" Patience laughed, "Our reinforcements should be arriving soon, right?"
After finishing speaking, the eyes of the two men looked at the grip of the iron horse together.
The two Schindler's generals were not kept waiting for a long time. The grand 'fireworks' that they had been looking forward to for a long time officially started ten minutes after they finished their discussion.
It's fire, fire all over the sky, green fire!
Above the sky, streaks of green fire descended, spraying towards the coalition soldiers entering the city at the city gate.
A total of seven thick green flames, just one jet, almost melted the not so strong city gate of the Iron Horse Grip! Just after this moment, this place became an out-and-out place that could be called hell!
There are wailing and screaming soldiers everywhere, and there are pus and fragments that have been burned to the bone.
That is the corrosive flame breath of the green dragon!
This kind of dragon's breath not only has extremely high temperature, but also has quite powerful corrosion ability. Being sprayed by the dragon's breath, of course, is sure to die. Even if it is only wiped off, the extremely strong corrosive power will still penetrate into the human body unreservedly, melting the flesh and bone marrow together, melting beyond recognition.
Among the coalition forces, no one expected that they would suffer such a blow!
Earl Sade, who just entered the city, can be said to have narrowly escaped death. He looked back, looked at this tragic scene, and exclaimed loudly: "This is the dragon's breath? Aren't these giant dragons supposed to be at sea? How did they come here? Why didn't we have any information about this before?" Got it?"
No one could answer his question, and everyone around him was shocked by this miserable scene.
A moment later, one of his aides tremblingly said: "My lord, Earl Snyder...it seems that he hasn't entered the city yet."
Thad's face became even more gloomy. Of course he knew this. It was at his request that Earl Sneijder was in charge of organizing the follow-up soldiers to enter the city at the city gate. Looking at such a tragic scene, it is estimated that the Earl from Pudry may be in danger.
Sneijder is a very authoritative general in the Pudley Kingdom. He is also a noble earl. He is a powerful nobleman with a high status. Such a person died in the Principality of Florence, and he, Sade, had to bear part of the responsibility himself. The troubles in the future would probably not be small.
But how can he care about these now?
Seeing the green dragon's breath spreading towards his position step by step, Sade's main thought at the moment was how to save his own life!
He can only run backwards.
But, how can a dragon fly in the sky as fast as a person can run?
Of course, the war horse that Sade is riding on is a very good breed, and the price is not cheap, both in terms of endurance and speed, it is very outstanding. However, even so, it cannot be compared with the giant dragon. What's more, on the roads in the town, it is not suitable for the galloping horses, let alone, in the current chaotic situation, the soldiers are in chaos, and there are panicked soldiers everywhere, like headless chickens. run around.
Sade did not intend to gather these panicked coalition soldiers. Normally, he would not tolerate his army being so undisciplined and unorganized, but now... the Holy Lord, those giant dragons flying in the sky obviously made up their minds to go from the city gate to Burning along the street all the way to the city held by the iron horse. And Sade's position is just on the road where the dragon's breath spreads.
Gathering troops? That takes time! What's more, maybe the troops have not been gathered yet, and Longxi will catch up!
If it weren't for the giant dragons in the sky not knowing that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was right under their mouths, otherwise, if they found the target and spit out concentratedly, this Thaad would definitely not be able to save his life.
His luck is not bad now, he has not been stained by the deadly dragon flame. But in just a few minutes, green flames were everywhere around him.
There is no escape.
In the end, this veteran in his fifties and almost sixties still couldn't escape from the flames. When he was forced into a building by the dragon's breath spreading everywhere, he could only watch the green flames spread from the window and the wall door, and finally screamed , turned into ashes.
When he died, the coalition soldiers in the iron horse's grip didn't even know that they had lost their supreme commander.
Actually, even if the supreme commander is still there, so what? When the seven-headed giant dragons in the sky gradually dispersed and set fire to the city, the coalition forces entering the city were completely in chaos.
They completely lost their unified command and fled around in the sea of flames. But these soldiers who fell into chaos soon found out in despair that no matter where they ran, they would always be overtaken by flames, or simply ran into a dead end.
Everything is messed up, everything is over.
At this moment, the heart of Admiral Mars, the only remaining senior general of the coalition forces in the city, has become icy cold. There is only one thought in his mind now: the ability of the Schindlers to create fighters is really too strong.
If he hasn't figured it out yet, he's really sorry for the general rank hanging on his shoulder.
Obviously, this is a trap.
The Schindlers seem to have a large army gathered in the grip of the iron horse, but that is completely an illusion. They took advantage of the elite status of the White Wolf Legion to pretend that they wanted to turn the Grip of the Iron Horse into an iron barrel formation and the last chain of encirclement, but in fact, the city didn't invest much power at all. !
And when he led the elite of the coalition army, defeated the defenders of the city gate, entered the city ~IndoMTL.com~ and drove the Schindlers out of the grip of the iron horse, it was completely a play performed by others .
It is not so much that he drove the opponent out, it is better to say that he gave up the control of the town by taking advantage of the situation.
In the end, their goal is for this grand fireworks. Imprisoning 50,000 to 60,000 coalition troops in this city, and having a feast of human flesh barbecue on an unprecedented scale, I have to say that the plan of the Schindlers is really vicious, and the foreshadowing and temptation made before are also excellent.
It's ridiculous. Before, he thought that Schindler's elite army was in vain, but it was actually vulnerable. But now it seems that he is the one who is stupid.
How many people were actually burned to death by the dragon's breath? Judging from Mars's many years of war experience, it is actually not too much. The situation at the city gate was indeed quite tragic, but that was because the coalition forces had already felt that there was no threat from the surrounding area at that time, and they were still in a hurry to enter the city, so the troops were assembled very tightly. In the process of queuing up to enter the city, they were attacked intensively by the dragon's breath and suffered heavy losses. Thousands of people were killed in a sea of flames under the attack of the dragon's breath in just one or two rounds.
However, when the attack at the city gate was over and the giant dragons scattered their attack targets throughout the city, the area covered by the flames was actually far less dense than imagined.
