Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 422: Flood

Chapter 422 Flooding

"You mean flooding these trenches?" Grand Duke Fisablen's eyes brightened.

"Yes, as long as these Dukedom and earth rat(s)s can't stay in the trench, they will become our target as soon as they come up. Locke, you have really come up with a good idea this time, how could I not have thought of such a simple method ... … "Second Highness patted his forehead in annoyance.

The atmosphere in big tent suddenly warmed up. The key to breaking the game was found. You do n’t have to stay so deadlocked. Everyone is elated at this moment. The preparations for the next attack are given to Forund Duchy and Faker Dukedom, Handra Dukedom. A terrific look, a good mood of depression for more than a month.

"Oh, thanks to Doles, if he mentioned that the rain flooded these trenches during the rainy season and made the earth rat(s) of Dukedom unable to stay in the trenches, I thought we could flood all of this defense line with water. Trench, so that those earth rat(s) can only come up and desperately for us. "Lorist said with a modest smile.

"But, where do we get so much water to drown the ditch ..." Duke Kenmays responded a little later than others, and asked afterwards.

Lorist smiled, showing a mouthful of white teeth: "Simple, the Nibaraku River is not far from our camp. We intercept the river, build a small reservoir, and then dig a trench to connect with the trench on the defense line in front. , As soon as the water is full, you just open the mouth and let the water run down the trench ... "

"We will continue to launch offensives, conceal the movements of our reservoir construction and digging trenches, and release water when the night is still quiet. Maybe we can give a big surprise to those Dukedom earth rat(s) who are hiding in trenches." 'Second Highness took over Lorist did not finish the words.

"We also need wooden boards and platoons, as many as possible, can be placed on the trench so that the cavalry and Chariot can quickly pass under Pedro City to close the door and hit the dogs, and capture Grand Duke Forando in one fell swoop," Grand Duke Fisablen added.

"That's it." Second Highness immediately made arrangements: "Locke, you are responsible for building small reservoirs and digging trenches, you can recruit the poor to work, all the cavalry to help, and try to do all this within three days. Duke Kenmays Your two Heavy Armor Corpss are given to my command. In the past few days, we have to capture more of the frontiers and shield our intention to flood. Shaheen Count Your two light infantry regiments go to cut down trees and make more wooden platoons. ... "

"Observe, Your Majesty."

Another attack began, but this attack made the Dukedom generals preparing for defense feel a little strange. They found that the heavy armored men who were attacking this time were not going to fill the trench and push down the earth wall. Instead, they just set up wooden rafts on the trench to pass. Subsequent offensive heavy armored soldiers carried cross-bow bows, shotguns, and axe short-range shooting weapons and guards hiding in trenches for shooting. Because of their relationship with proper protection, they took advantage of the casualty ratio.

Maybe they want to consume our defensive power through mass killing to achieve the purpose of occupying positions? The Dukedom generals were so guessed, so they responded, withdrawing the guards at the front positions, gathering a large number of troops in the rear, hoping to lure the attacking enemies into the rear. Then you can copy the last victory again. Of course, they also arranged a team of troops to prepare to pass through the trench to block enemies that might be supported.

It was just by their surprise. The heavy armored men who attacked occupied more than ten trenches and no longer attacked forward. Instead, they brought a lot of wooden platoons from the back. They also erected these wooden platoons. Stuck in the trench ...

What does this mean? The generals of Dukedom gathered for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. It is likely that the enemy wanted to use these wooden platoons to cut off the ditch in all directions, so that the defensive forces could not attack the occupied position through the ditch. In this way, wooden platoons are used to separate the passages, on the one hand, to consolidate the occupied positions, and on the other hand, to continue the attack until the entire defensive position is cleared.

This is definitely a new tactic of wooden platoons against trenches, so all the defensive Dukedom generals are distorted, focusing on how to deal with this wooden platoon of Andinak Kingdom. They used night raids and forced raids to pour fire oil on the wooden rafts that cut off the trench, and burned dozens of wooden rafts in one night. But this was useless. The heavy armored men who attacked the next day brought more wooden platoons and re-blocked.

At the same time, a bonfire was lit in the trench at night, and a guard holding a crossbow was arranged on it. At night, when there was a little movement, an arrow and a gong were called to call for reinforcements. It was so furious for four or five days. Ten trenches.

The generals on the defensive side finally let go. Although this tactic of separating trenches with wooden platoons is a bit useful, the threat is not great. Now the attacking Andinak Kingdom army's forward speed is getting slower and slower. In addition, the defensive Dukedom soldier(s)'s resistance is getting stronger and stronger, occupying at most four or five trenches a day. At this speed, they want to hit Pedro City for at least two or three years. As long as they persist for a few days, the enemy will be weak.

However, the Dukedom generals who defended tonight want to launch a big counterattack against the heavy Andinak Kingdom of the offensive. The goal is to recapture the occupied one-third position. As the Forund Duchy Sanssiro Viscount responsible for defending this trench position, Dukedom's second defending Legion army Captain, Sanssiro Viscount is keenly aware that the heavy armored men attacking today are not attacking strongly, unlike the previous few. The sky is so proactive and tenacious, it seems to be in a bluff, or it may be that it has transported too many wooden platoons to the front, one by one seems to be perfunctory.

Very well, the enemy's spirit has been wiped out. It's our turn to fight back tonight. The generals under Sanshiro Viscount said, Did n’t you notice that today the enemies seem to be absent-minded. Even though a corps was mobilized to the front in the evening, it seems that their spirits are not as good as they were a few days ago. Ang Yang, I think our counter-attack moment already is coming. In the evening, we first let a corps of soldiers conduct harassment attacks on them in multiple ways. At dawn, we put the remaining corps into a big counterattack and resolutely pushed the enemy back from the position.

Except for the ten or so ditches in front of the defensive position, all of the following ditches were dug by the Forund Duchy's defense soldier(s) to a zigzag without a teacher, and a turn curve was also set up. Roads and traffic lanes connected to the ditch in front and back, half-meter-high protruding earth stairs are set under the corners of the zigzag ditch and some wider ditch. It is convenient for the soldier(s) to defend it to launch the stone crossbow and observe the movement of the enemy. When attacked, you can hide back into the trench. No wonder the soldier(s) of the attacked Andinak Kingdom is called earth rat(s).

It was the assault attack of White Lion Legion's Sword and Shield Corps that caused the offensive and defensive sides to engage in a short battle, and ended with the failure of Sword and Shield Corps. The next contact between the two sides was more night raids, harassment and bolt shooting. As the Captain Doles of the Flying Tigers Legion Chariot Ballista Corps said, his Chariot Ballista Corps can't play any role on such a battlefield. On the contrary, the old-fashioned stone crossbow equipped by the defensive side has a short range, small size, and strong performance. The role of heavy armored soldiers in these attacks has exceeded three figures under bolt.

In addition, the defending Dukedom soldier(s) are equipped with short swords, flying axes, small round shields and other weapons suitable for playing in narrow trenches. Heavy armored men who attack with two-handed swords with spears cannot go down the trenches to fight against the enemy. Because they went down to become the dishes of those enemies, and the weapons could not compete with the enemies in the trench, which made them sigh only looking at the trench.

Forund Duchy second guard Legion army Captain Sanskro Viscount is a veteran on the battlefield and is also famous in Dukedom. Whether it is to resist the attack of the great prince, or to counterattack Redlis Kingdom, there are soldiers trapped Second Highness, and the death of Merlein Dukedom, As well as participating in the offensive and defensive battles in the southern provinces, he basically represented Forund Duchy in all the wars involving the central four Dukedom, and promoted himself from a Golden Knight to Grand Duke Forando to Territory Viscount. He is a Dukedom general with great confidence in Grand Duke(s).

As a member of the offensive and defensive battles in the southern provinces, although Sanskro Viscount has experienced an embarrassing defeat, he is still lucky to escape from the battlefield. In the past few years after returning to China, he has painstakingly pondered. He has been recalling and thinking about the battle with Norton Family armed forces. He has a deep understanding of Norton Family armed forces's super-long-range attack power.

When he knew that the Andinak Kingdom army of this attack had the participation of Norton Family armed forces, he stopped the plan made by his colleagues to rely on the fortress to defend, and worked with Grand Duke Forando to develop a defense position using trenches and earth walls. The countermeasures are very effective from the current situation.

Just because he understands the characteristics of the offensive and defensive forces and the uneasy situation, Sansiro Viscount is full of confidence in the big counterattack he is going to launch. First use the cover of the night to harass and attack the heavily armored Andinak Kingdom soldiers on the front line, making them restless overnight. Withdrawing the harassed troops at dawn, the enemy would think that the sky would be bright, and Chang Shu was ready to rest in peace. At this moment on his own side, he suddenly sent out all his forces to fight back, and he would definitely hit the enemy by surprise.

Regaining one-third of the positions is the bottom line. You may be lucky to regain half or even two-thirds of the occupied positions. Sanskro Viscount believes that after this counterattack, the enemy will have no morale and will no longer be able to launch a larger and stronger attack. To be honest, this platoon tactic really put a lot of pressure on the Dukedom side of the defense. Unfortunately, this tactic cannot be sustained, and as long as the defense is willing to pay a greater price for casualties, it can still deal with these partitions. Wooden ditch for trenches.

The night already is a bit deep, and it is a mile away from the front line here. Sanskro Viscount looked around. The trench he was digging was deeper, wider, and larger. This was because it needed to gather troops and could not be found by the enemy, so it was dug into a small square. The soldier(s) gate of the Dukedom second defense Legion with a team size of 1,000 people fell to the ground and took time to rest. Even if they can't sleep, they have to close their eyes to regain their energies, and after more than two hours, it is their turn to the front line to fight back. There are eight small squares like this, and now they are all packed with soldier(s) resting on the ground.

Tonight is a good weather for night strikes. There are many clouds in the sky, and the silver moonlight is occasionally covered by clouds. Sanskro Viscount started to worry a little bit. It ’s almost November. It should n’t rain. Light rain is fine. It ’s bad if it ’s heavy rain. It ’s a big trouble for the defender to accumulate some water in the trench. Affecting the defense, but the sludge will affect the soldier(s)'s defense speed, and they will pay more casualties. I just hope that this counterattack will make the enemy no longer able to attack, and that is the best result.

The flames on the front line soared to the sky, and a faint shout came. It seemed that the soldier(s)s who had sneaked up had burned some wooden rafts and looked bright in the night. But then there seemed to be a very loud noise. It seemed that the enemy had transferred more troops to the front line overnight. The light of the torch seemed to be a little more, and the sound also changed, and there were fewer shouts and kills. Instead, the voice of "Who? Who?"

Strangely, why is the sound of the "rushing and rustling" getting louder and louder, and getting closer and closer to this side, why does the army sent by itself to harass the attack seem to be quiet and the enemy's torch is bright Seems to be getting closer and closer? Does the enemy still want to attack overnight?

Sansiro Viscount grew more and more uneasy. He went into the trench and hid his figure behind a dirt wall and looked forward carefully. At this moment, the Silver Moon in the sky flashed through the clouds to reveal the bright face again, and the silver moonlight suddenly filled the world ...

"So, what's that?" The sentry standing next to the guard was screaming at the front position.

"Shut up! Asshole! Do you want to attract the enemy ’s attention?" Sanskro Viscount whispered, taking off his helmet and looking forward, but there was a patch in the trench The silver light flashed, and soon filled up the trenches, and then the trench was filled with silver light, and there were some small black spots in the silver light struggling ...

The silver light is approaching quickly towards itself, and at this time the Silver Moon in the sky is blocked by the clouds again, and the sky and the sky are dark. Only the torches in the far front positions are flashing ...

The sound of rustling is getting louder and louder. At this moment, Sanscoro Viscount understands that already understands that his face is pale. He no longer cares whether the call will attract the attention of the enemy, and he turns around. Just shouting towards the soldier(s) who rested in the trench, "Hurry up, come up quickly, water ... water is coming!"

This is how tragedy happened. This small square-like trench that can gather troops was dug too deep, more than three meters deep. Most resting soldier(s)s lie on the ground and sleep. Although they are woken up or awake, most of them are still confused. At this time, the water already came. When the turbulent water poured from the traffic stream into this small square, everyone was in a hurry, standing beside the trench and climbing up, but there were only four or five entrances. There are crowds between people, people who don't get on board ...

The water already is full to the waist, all soldier(s) are anxious. Everyone knows that the place where they stand is the lowest depression of the trench, and the order collapses. Everyone is anxious to climb up. Climbing up, but they also modified the pit wall when they dug the trench, and it was a little smooth. As a result, they did not climb up a lot of people for a long time, and they were more dragged by the companions behind them.

What's not bad is that soldier(s)s are all wearing iron armor. They were soaked by the water, especially the ditch was soft and soaked in water, and all the mud was pulled up, and they basically couldn't climb. ...

Sansiro Viscount's voice is dumb, and finally soldier(s) has some organization. He let the soldier(s) next to the ditch be a ladder, let the back soldier(s) climb up and then pull them up, but insisted for a while and then messed up, because the water already reached the neck of the soldier(s), some short soldier(s) stomped their feet No choice but to grab the front soldier(s). However, the soldier(s) in the front did not want to be dragged. He turned over and threw the soldier(s) in the water into the water. The soldier(s) in the back grabbed and let go. The two struggled in the water and then sank ...

The sky will be bright. Sansiro Viscount eyes are bloodshot looking at the calm ditch of already. The small square ditch already becomes a small pond, but the dense and dense water is drowned and tangled together. soldier(s) Corpse ...

Hundreds of lucky soldier(s)s who escaped from the water were standing above the trench. Their whole body was wet and shivering in the morning breeze in November. Sanskro Viscount looked at the corpse at the bottom of the pit and looked at it again. Those soldier(s) standing next to them suddenly yelled, pulled a sword in the throat, and the whole person fell into the trench filled with stagnant water and corpses in the blood splash ...

...
