I Will Be The Crowned King - v4 Chapter 504 initiative

"Boom-boom-boom-!!"

Thunder-like shelling rang out in the wilderness outside Beluga Harbor, and under the shrieks that ripped through the air, smoke shrouded the already riddled August Armoury Factory; In the piled up fortifications, countless figures are entangled and mixed together.

Among them are the New World Legion militia who fought hard, and the jihadist soldiers who held high the banner of the Ring of Order and roared and charged. They rushed to the nearest enemy regardless of their lives, and fought to the end of their lives with the weapons in their hands.

The artillery positions of the Mujahideen Army in the distance were still repeatedly bombarding the factory building of the military factory. Despite the great momentum, most of the artillery shells hit the stone wall of the factory building, leaving only a few shallow craters, which did not cause any damage. What a killing.

This is not because the Mujahideen does not want to use higher pound and more powerful artillery, but because the riots a few days ago destroyed the docks of Beluga Harbor, and several important streets in the town were burnt to the ground. They are all messy ruins, and there is no way to supply baggage for normal transportation.

In addition, the appearance of the New World Corps was quite abrupt, and the artillery fire that Ludwig, who was in charge of garrisoning at Beluga Harbour in a hurry, was only a dozen cavalry artillery supported by Arthur Herrid; The rapid-fire gun faced the cement pouring of the factory building, and the whole piece of rock was used as the base bunker, obviously it was quite powerless.

Losing the ability of artillery to open the gap, the offensive of the jihadist army seemed very difficult. After gathering 3,000 people and five full infantry regiments, it was still unable to win the army with only 500 shooting corps and more than 700 colonial militiamen garrisoned. factory building.

The opposite is similar to the shooting camp and the Supreme Council, especially the Supreme Council, because this building was originally built according to the standard of the fortress... The original idea was that in case the jihadist army first attacked not Yangfan City but Beluga Harbor , at least there can be a fortress that can organize a retreat calmly, and can resist a jihadist offensive to some extent, but it turned into a base for counterattack in the end.

And just when the Beluga Port Crusaders were devastated by the suddenly approaching New World Corps, the main force of the enemy who should have rushed to the garrison in Changhu Town killed a carbine and attacked the Beluga Port headquarters outside the town.

This building was carefully selected by An Sen and spent countless manpower and material resources to build. It can just fill the important stronghold of the entire Storm Legion. Its role is not only as a barrier to guard Beluga Harbor, but also to better control this prosperous town. .

Whether it is a commanding fort or an unobstructed, straight and unobstructed avenue, it can directly threaten the safety of a town.

After all, no matter how solid the city defense of Beluga Port is, it is only a port town rather than a fortress, and it has nothing to do with indestructibility; let the soldiers stay in a place where cannonballs will fall at any time, so that they can't even hide. It is completely conceivable that the morale is completely conceivable.

Such an important stronghold, but the jihadist army stationed in Beluga Port did not send many people to garrison; on the one hand, of course, because everyone prefers to stay in towns - this is of course nonsense, the living conditions are there - more important The reason is the previous riot in Beluga Harbor, Ludwig transferred most of the troops to suppress the protests and the soldiers and colonial people who tried to leave.

The entire Beluga Port has been turned into a powder keg, so naturally it is impossible to have too much spare time to send a military camp that does not seem to be very important at first glance.

Moreover, since the jihadist army headquarters has become a "collaborative system", any decision must be unanimously approved by everyone before it can be implemented; therefore, everyone loves fat and trouble, and everyone pushes away troubles. Absolutely uncomfortable, and no one wants to go to a more inconvenient fortress.

Of course, even if we give up most of the city defense facilities and lose the most important defensive strongholds in the periphery, as long as we can control the sprawling outskirts of towns and farms, large and small, we can still contain the momentum of the attack of the New World Legion at the most important point of Beluga Port. Outside, you can't even get close to the headquarters fortress.

This tactic is not even new, because when Fernando Herrede tried to attack Moby-Dick Harbor from the land, Fabian filled the defense line formed by these farms with thousands of militia who were temporarily pulled out. Of course, the jihadists who died outside the city gate of Beluga Harbor could not be unfamiliar.

But the problem is that to do this requires two prerequisites: First, the jihadist army can draw so many troops. After all, the core of the "stronghold defense line" is to rely on people.

Secondly, you must have a good relationship with the local people. After all, no matter how many troops you have, you will always be a minority compared to the locals. If you want to get results by spreading out the soldiers like pepper, you must first win the locals. support.

It's a pity that neither of the two jihadist armies can do it.

Needless to say, mobilizing the army, no jihadist army would want to do this kind of drudgery as a sandbag for others; as for the people's hearts, the jihadist army's reputation in the colonies, although it can't be called sloppy water, is almost a common enemy.

Especially now... If the tragic battle of Sail City can be understood as the first relief, both sides in the Battle of Black Reef Harbor are still restrained, and the looting of colonies such as Slave Harbor can only be regarded as the basis of the empire and many armies. Operation, everyone has long been numb, not to mention angry or not angry.

The bombing of Red Hand Bay is really unbearable.

After all, it was the Mujahideen side that took the initiative to propose a truce, and the Free Confederation also gave a very positive response. In the end, it not only breached its own contract, but also caused tragic casualties of no less than 10,000 people, and thousands of innocent people were given a ring of order. Nominal gunfire burned to ashes...tolerable to such an extent that only a fool would believe it.

Without a solid peripheral line of defense that could block the attack of the New World Legion, the jihadist army had to take the initiative to retake several large occupied strongholds, but there was no heavy artillery that could quickly open the gap, and the soldiers could only use human lives to pile up, risking hiding. The enemy in the bunker launched a bayonet charge with rounds of platoons.

With such a hasty attack, it is naturally difficult to cover everything, and it is not surprising that important strongholds are attacked by being secretly bypassed.

So because of this series of problems that are tangled like a mess, the safety of the entire Beluga Port is already on the line!

But even at this point, the jihadist army command, who still doesn't think that he has done anything wrong, is still confidently sitting in Beluga Port City, calmly commanding a defensive counterattack that seems to be a sure win, as if sending the enemy to death. Active offense is seen as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Especially Sir Phyllis himself, he really thinks so.

"Everyone, this is a miracle, an enemy that we are trapped in and fighting against, and actively proves that the Ring of Order is invincible and that the Holy War Army is invincible!"

In the Beluga Harbor Council Hall, Phyllis, standing under the vault, looked at the leaders calmly and confidently with his hands behind his back, and said loudly in his calm and elegant voice:

"Everyone should know that a few days ago, when our logistics transport fleet was passing through the waters around Nakhir, it was attacked by pirates shamelessly, and the direct loss was at least a quarter or more. It must be heavy!"

"Such a heavy loss will inevitably directly affect the next step of the jihadist army's strategic policy in the new world. In other words, we can no longer continue to gather troops in the same area for a long time, let alone organize a large-scale offensive— Because there is a serious shortage of supplies!"

"However, at this critical juncture, when the Mujahideen might not be able to end the war by the end of the year, our enemy gave up continuing to hide in the wild interior of the New World and decided to attack us instead. , immediately relieved our urgent need!"

"Just ask, if this is not a miracle, what can be called a miracle, the ring of order is testing us and testing his warriors!"

Following the words, the walls of the hall began to vibrate slightly, and the roar of the guns in the distance penetrated the glass windows and reached the ears of everyone present.

"Before you feel this great miracle, please allow me to remind you a little."

Ludwig, who was sitting in the front row, stood up at an inopportune moment, interrupting Phyllis's impassioned: "In my current battle, the Mujahideen side is unfortunately at a disadvantage; the siege of the three strongholds has already It went on for nearly ten hours and still nothing."

"In contrast, the enemy's elite main force of nearly 6,000 people is storming the Beluga Harbor headquarters. Once it falls, the entire Beluga Harbor—including this house, will be within the effective range of the 12-pound infantry guns. Please ask the commander-in-chief. What's your opinion on this?"

"My opinion is that you are worrying about nothing, Major General Ludwig Franz." Phylles shook his head lightly:

"You have misestimated the strength of our enemies. They may be able to assemble an army of 45,000 people to besiege Beluga Harbor, but that's about it; not to mention the entire jihadist army, now the light is in Beluga Harbor. There are no less than 60,000 people, plus more than forty warships."

"If an armed force of this scale can't even hold a small Beluga Harbor, don't you think it's a ridiculous joke to tell it?"

"I don't think so." Ludwig said coldly:

"If the side with the largest number of people can win all the battles, then Clovis should have wiped out the country long ago, and it is impossible for Hantu to become independent, and there will be no colonial rebellion. We... can't appear in this ghost place at all!"

Under the suddenly depressing atmosphere, Phyllis kept smiling.

"I agree with Major General Ludwig."

Pavel Dukasky, who was on the side, suddenly said, "When I came here, I carefully inspected the topography and surrounding environment of Beluga Port. I have to say that this is indeed a very good port, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. ."

"In addition to providing a convenient and safe berthing area, the Ice Dragon Fjord also restricts the entry and exit of ships, which means that the number and tonnage of ships that can be accommodated around the port is extremely limited. Forty warships are crowded in at the same time. The end of it is to become a living target of the fort and be slaughtered by others."

"In other words, as long as the military camp outside the city is captured by the New World Army, the initiative in the battlefield will fall into the hands of the New World Army... Well, that is, the colonial rebels and pseudo-believers, no matter how many soldiers there are in the Holy War Army, Neither can change the fact that we are at an absolute disadvantage and cannot win, so..."

He was hesitant to say anything, and he looked around and got a lot of approving eyes.

"The premise is that the colonial rebels can really capture the Beluga Harbor Command!"

The smiling Sir Phyllis forced his voice to overwhelm the roar of guns outside: "Although preparations were rushed, there are nearly 4,000 jihadist soldiers stationed there at the moment, and they are well-equipped; a mere 6,000 people, this Why did you help the rebels take it?"

"Besides, just fifteen minutes ago, two hundred soldiers of the Knights of Judgment had already rushed to the battlefield for reinforcements, along with twelve land cruisers; the Battle of Red Hand Bay has proven that this advanced What power can weapons show in open areas!"

"Besides, even if there is a 1/1,000th... no, it's a 1/10,000th accident, so what can you do? Controlling the headquarters fortress is just a little bit of initiative, and it doesn't mean the battle is over." Les shook his head contemptuously:

"The strength gap between the two sides still exists, and there is no obstacle in Changhu Town. The other two holy war corps in Red Hand Bay can calmly enter the Ice Dragon Fjord and storm the flanks of the rebels from the western front. Their weak defense line It's impossible to survive a two-front battle, collapse... is an inevitable result. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"As for you guys..." Phyllis shrugged, "I hope it's more appropriate for everyone to focus on the battle in front of you, and don't pay attention to those so-called possibilities, maybe, probably... meaningless."

"Remember, the jihadist army we formed in the name of the Ring of Order is the elite that has assembled the forces of the entire order world to crusade against false believers and heresies. We are invincible, and we... must also be invincible!"

"Failure! It's absolutely intolerable..."

"Boom!"

The heavy main entrance of the hall was slammed open, and the congregation members who were attentive immediately turned their eyes behind them, and locked the figure holding the tattered Ring of Order flag with a panicked expression.

"Guards, where are the guards?!" Phyllis, who lost his smile in an instant, sank his face and responded quickly: "This is the meeting site of the jihadist army headquarters, how can others be allowed to enter and leave casually, give him to me Take it away!"

It should be said that his decision was quite decisive and correct. Under the premise of being unable to control the situation, any unknown intelligence is likely to cause uncertain effects. to a minimum.

But unfortunately, he was still a little slower... The messenger who was directly erected thought he was misunderstood, and quickly proved his innocence: "Don't, don't pull me! I'm the captain and battalion commander of the Clovis Crusader Army, and the knight of judgment. An adult in the regiment sent me to give orders! Let me tell the regiment that the Beluga Harbor headquarters outside the Great Wall of the regiment has fallen, and the city defense facilities have fallen into the hands of the colonial rebels... woo woo... woo woo...!!"
