Tales of the Reincarnated Lord Chapter 550: Sandbags

Chapter fifty-five sandbags

Schwartz is a little irritable. The artillery battalion as a pioneer of the road was blocked in this ghost place for three days. This was something he never expected. Since entering Feltonba Province, he has led the artillery battalion as a pioneer in the army under the cover of the guard Legion. He has been invincible and has never encountered a castle fortress that can withstand artillery bombardment. Often after the artillery bombarded the enemy for a while, the enemy ran away crying, and the soldier(s) of the guard Legion rushed to chase the enemy and successfully occupied the enemy's defense position.

Trade Union has long been prepared to attack Norton Family armed forces, but they do not know in which direction Norton Family will launch the attack. The senior commander of Trade Union armed forces originally judged that Norton Family armed forces is likely to launch an attack on those provinces in the south, because those provinces were all annexed by Trade Union a few years ago during the war with the Central South Kingdom Army, and did not conduct a large-scale Territory Aristocrat(s) seizure. Within the scope of the municipality.

During the three-year **** battle of Falik Plains, Trade Union forcibly recruited a large number of recruits and grains from these southern provinces. As a result, these southern provinces were unscrupulously searched by Trade Union, causing frequent disturbances, unrest, and defensive forces. Weak, it is impossible to resist the Norton Family armed forces soldier front.

The senior commander of Trade Union armed forces believes that it may be possible to use a strategy to entice the enemy to penetrate. When Norton Family armed forces attacks the southern provinces, it will entice its army to penetrate the southern provinces of the mainland, and then try to cut off its heavy logistics channels, forcing it to withdraw. go back. This can not only make it a small setback, but also gain time for Trade Union to restore its strength. Maybe it can also set up an ambush and launch a few assaults during its withdrawal. It can also strengthen the confidence of the re-established Trade Union armed forces ...

However, the senior commander of Trade Union armed forces did not expect that Norton Family armed forces did not attack the southern provinces of the defensive forces, but instead attacked Feltonba Province of May Flower Chamber of Commerce Territory. This surprised the senior commanders of Trade Union armed forces, and speculated one after another what was the intention of Norton Family armed forces? The most reliable guess is that Norton Family armed forces's goal this time is not the site, but to eliminate the major Chamber of Commerce of Trade Union.

As the chairman of Twinhead Dragon Chamber of Commerce, commander of Trade Union armed forces, Combright Grand Duke(s), after receiving the news that Norton Family armed forces attacked Feltonba Province, he breathed a sigh of relief. May Flower Chamber of Commerce received Feltonba Province as Chamber of Commerce Territory. Although less than five years, but Several gold and silver mines are located in the hilly area of ​​Feltonba Province. May Flower Chamber of Commerce has already built many strong fortresses in the hilly area and is ready for defense.

Combright Grand Duke(s) believes that even if Norton Family armed forces has artillery, it cannot easily win Feltonba Province. At the same time, he is very happy to see that May Flower Chamber of Commerce and Norton Family armed forces are both lost. After all, this time Nicolas Grand Duke(s) of May Flower Chamber of Commerce was very interested in this chair under his buttocks. He gathered a bunch of second- and third-rate Chamber of Commerce heads and adopted an aggressive strategy against himself, accusing himself of needing to drop Trade Union to the present. Such a situation is responsible for the defeat of the decisive battle in the city of Bruvia.

If it is not Forde Chamber of Commerce, Leward Chamber of Commerce, Vysia Chamber of Commerce for their strong support, maybe Combright Grand Duke(s) will really be ousted by Nicolas Grand Duke(s). Unfortunately, all three Chamber of Commerce lost their Chamber of Commerce Territory, and their strength dropped greatly. The purpose of supporting Combright was to recapture Chamber of Commerce Territory and revenge on Andinak Kingdom and Norton Family. But after all, it was a vital injury, but it was too loud to provide real powerful help for Combright Grand Duke(s). Instead, May Flower Chamber of Commerce and Peterson Chamber of Commerce, as well as Chickadee Chamber of Commerce, where Territory is still alive, have changed.

May Flower Chamber of Commerce would like to take this opportunity to surpass Twinhead Dragon Chamber of Commerce and drive down Combright Grand Duke(s). Although Peterson Chamber of Commerce is neutral and impartial, they do not help each other. But it seems that we are tired of the war, hope to enter into peace talks, sign the armistice agreement, restore peace, and do business well. This view has also received many private support from Chamber of Commerce. For example, the Miledas Chamber of Commerce who opened the hotel is the most determined anti-war activist . No way, their family Chamber of Commerce already lost money for several years in a row during the war, there is no profit at all, they can only scrape the hard-hitting leaders on Chamber of Commerce Territory and make ends meet ...

As for Chickadee Chamber of Commerce, in the eyes of Combright Grand Duke(s), it is an outright betrayer. Unfortunately, Trade Union is still unable to make up for this Chickadee Chamber of Commerce because of the defeat in Bruvia. Sometimes Combright Grand Duke(s) is trying not to reach a temporary peace with Norton Family first, then concentrate on cleaning up the Chickadee Chamber of Commerce betrayer, relieve the worries of Trade Union, and let those vacillating Chamber of Commerce look at the betrayer's end Lessons learned.

Combright Grand Duke(s) hasn't considered it yet, Norton Family armed forces launched the attack on Trade Union again, and this time they attacked May Flower Chamber of Commerce Territory Feltonba Province. Although Combright Grand Duke(s) felt a little gloating, but he still remembers that he is now the supreme governing officer of Trade Union, the commander of Trade Union armed forces, and responded in the first place. In addition to mobilizing troops to prepare staff, Combright Grand Duke(s) also told Nicolas Grand Duke(s) how to deal with artillery, and ordered May Flower Chamber of Commerce to drag Norton Family armed forces in the hilly area for a month and a half, so that the reinforcements reached the front line. .

...

The sound of gunfire was rumbling, and there was a thunderous response from the mountains.

Schwartz is holding the binoculars and staring closely at the enemy's wall, but unfortunately, apart from the dust and smoke, there is no scene of the wall falling. He waved angrily and issued an order to stop the shelling, and then asked several staff officers around him: "How much time is left to reach Orville Keith Lord(s)?"

"Schwartz Lord(s), Thunderbolt Catapult Battalion is behind the Free Alliance armed forces Legion. It is the last one in the itinerary. They have to be here for at least four or five days. As for Orville Keith Lord(s), we sent a messenger to him yesterday, and we can come over tomorrow. ... "a staff officer replied, but what he said was not good news.

"Well, I knew that my Highness would have kept the diehards of the invincible fleet imprisoned, or they would have been killed, and they should not have been redeemed ..." Schwartz muttered, very depressed. Several staff officers stepped down the hill.

"Lord(s), are we no longer shelling?" a staff officer asked.

"Let's save it." Schwartz shook his head helplessly: "You also saw the effect of the bombardment. Nearly fifty artillery fired together. This Lindsayn Hill is still standing in front of us, even if there is The damage can be repaired intact in one night. In addition to the danger of the terrain, we are in the position of attack and cannot approach the attack. Now the only way is to wait for Orville Keith Lord(s) to see if we can throw the packet with catapult. Enter the city, blow up the trebuchets and ballista in the city, and then use the infantry to attack. Only in this way can we capture this mountain city with the least casualties ... "

"Lord(s), this is difficult to do." Another thin and thin staff officer said, "I have calculated the angle and distance. To throw the projectile into the mountain catapult, I have to go forward about 150 meters. .But the range of the trebuchet and the guard ballista in this Lindseyton hill city is about 300 meters. We already paid the price of dozens of casualties to understand this. And Lindseyton hill city is located at a high place. Except that our artillery can attack at a distance of 400 meters, catapult can't be thrown so far ... "

Schwartz touched his chin distressed and said, "We have no choice but to wait for the arrival of Orville Keith Lord(s). You all have seen already, and the enemy is full of sandbags on the outer wall of this wall in Lindsayn Hill. We The artillery bombarded with only a few splashes of dust and could not attack the city wall at all. This must be the method provided by the sailors who were redeemed by the invincible fleet. In the Romani naval battle, they used a flour bag to pad the cabin. It was close to our family fleet, and now we use this method to defend our artillery.

Our artillery can only be bombarded up here. There are at most 50 artillery pieces in this place. You have seen the effects of the two days of attack. The projectiles hit the sandbags. There is no way to hit them. Going inside the city is useless except for wasting gunpowder, and soldier(s) can't approach the mountain city. All you can do now is to find a way to throw the bag in and blow the city upside down to occupy the mountain city. Or do you have any better ideas? "

Several staff officers shut up together, not because they can't think of another siege plan, but because the terrain of this mountain in Lindseyton is too dangerous. If they can come up with more than a dozen siege plans on the plains, but here is a hilly area, countless cliffs in the valley, and people can never stop detouring around the road. There is no detour around what is interspersed with left and right, and here you don't have to think about it. It is basically a delusion of slap on the head. There is no other way than to push it forward.

Let ’s say the opposite Lindsayn Hill City, in fact, is located on a large rock mound. Now everyone is not facing the front gate of the castle, but just a side wall. But this side wall blocked the attack of the artillery battalion. The reason is simple. This side wall faces the main road leading to the main entrance, and is also the main road leading to the interior of Feltonba Province. The Mayflower commercial garrison deployed a large number of trebuchets and ballista above and behind the city wall, effectively blocking the main road and blocking the progress of Norton Family armed forces.

A little bit of the image is two large breads and one small bread. The big bread is on Mount Lindsay, and the small bread is on a winding road. This big and small bread are next to each other. To reach Lindsay Hill, you must make a big bend from the boulevard on the side of the hill through the side wall of Lindsay Hill to reach the gate of the hill, and then pass through the hill to Feltonba Province and other local. The small bread and the big bread are connected in the valley below, except where the gate is connected. It is like a 50 to 60 meters wide gully between the avenue and the side wall of the mountain city. The mountain city is nearly two meters higher than the avenue. More than ten meters, the towering view is unobstructed.

In other words, if Norton Family armed forces wants to attack the gate of Hillside Castle, it must first pass through the avenue on the small bread and face the attack of the long-range attack weapon arranged on the side wall guard of the hillside. There is no ability to fight back. , Can only be in a battered position. And the garrison was filled with sandbags on the outside of the side wall, effectively resisting the bombardment of the artillery. This is the first time that the Norton Family armed forces encountered an artillery attack since entering the Feltonba Province, and it did not work. Blocked the pace of Norton Family armed forces offense.

"This is guerrilla unprepared to be a tortoise!" When the unfavorable Schwartz attack report passed to Lorist, Lorist said with a grin. Maybe Trade Union cannot master the artillery weapon like Norton Family armed forces, but they have learned lessons and come up with ways to deal with artillery attacks after being beaten more. Sandbags were built. This simple idea effectively resisted the bombardment of the artillery. Before the development of a projectile and mastery of curve shooting, the Bronze artillery currently equipped with Norton Family armed forces can only be used as a direct siege weapon. Occasionally You can also use the shotgun to attack the enemy of the group charge.

Since attacking Feltonba Province, May Flower Chamber of Commerce's first resistance measure is their high-end combat assault tactics. This is used to deal with artillery battalions. It seems that they think that as long as the artillery Norton Family armed forces is destroyed, the offensive ability is lost. . However, Norton Family armed forces has been prepared for a long time. Reidy and Shuss Great Sword Master each took up an artillery battalion. May Flower Chamber of Commerce lost two Great Sword Master and three Golden Knights. It will no longer attack the artillery battalion station, but will guerrilla during the march of the artillery battalion. This will reduce casualties.

The ridiculous thing happened. An Trade Union Great Sword Master with four Gold Swordsman raided an artillery battalion squadron that was resting at noon, killing a part of soldier(s) and running away the remaining Norton Family soldier(s), and more than ten Bronze artillery were The muzzle was cut to waste. At this time, an Gold Swordsman opened a well-sealed large wooden barrel filled with gray silk parcels of the same size, which contained black particles.

"What are these things?" the Gold Swordsman said, then took a torch and inserted it ...

A loud bang, the Great Sword Master and the four Gold Swordsman bodies are gone.

Trade Union's high-end combat power is not Chinese cabbage, and one wave can grow another wave. The decisive battle of already in the city of Bruvia caused most of the high-end combat power of Trade Union to be lost. Now May Flower Chamber of Commerce lost three more Great Sword Master and eight Gold Swordsman. The Norton Family armed forces only lost more than forty guns and three hundred or three hundred families soldier(s). May Flower Chamber of Commerce seems to be profitable in terms of quantity, but May Flower Chamber of Commerce is really a loss in terms of quality. Since then, May Flower Chamber of Commerce has never played any high-end combat raid tactics.

For more than twenty days, Norton Family armed forces deployed the May Flower Chamber of Commerce in the castle fortress in the hilly area to destroy the occupation in the sound of artillery bombardment, until May Flower Chamber of Commerce received a letter from Combright Grand Duke(s) and learned that the sandbag could resist the attack of artillery. At this time, this blocked Norton Family armed forces under Mount Lindsay.
