The Holy War between England and Prussia Chapter 42: Soldiers are expensive and fast

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Boom!

    "One, two, three, hit!!"

    The assault vehicle built of giant trees kept hitting the fortress gate, and twenty soldiers shouted slogans and hit it again and again.

    Inside the gate of the fortress, the French army was making their final resistance. They moved a large number of wooden chairs or stones behind the gate to resist the siege vehicles of the Pullen Army.

    More than a thousand soldiers are distributed in various places in the inner city of the fortress. Because of the surprise attack launched by the October Legion last night, the French army, which is obviously much smarter, has become more vigilant.

    Last night, after the October Legion as the spearhead of the Royal City of Pullen completely broke through the outer city wall of the century-old Blood City, the main force of the French army decisively gave up the defense of the outer city and concentrated its efforts on protecting the inner city.  Relying on the advantages of the terrain and various mechanisms that slowed down the advance of King Purun City, the door was finally closed tightly at the moment when the October Knights were about to rush into the inner city of the fortress.

    There were dark clouds in the sky, and the rain that kept falling washed the bloody earth.

    With an indifferent expression, the knight under the moon pulled out the sword from the enemy's corpse and threw it hard on the ground, immediately splattering blood on the ground.

    Kara, put the long sword into the scabbard, Yuexia slowly turned around and walked towards the back.

    Behind her, four hundred October Knights lined up neatly, each covered in blood, as if they had just crawled out of a pool of blood.

    The badly worn shield and the damaged long sword now became ironclad evidence of their honor.

    The cold wind kept blowing the gold-patterned Rose of Glory flag, and the outskirts of the century-old Blood City were soon completely occupied by King Purun City.  Although there was still resistance from the remaining French troops on the periphery, in the face of the levied spearmen and Pullen's bows and arrows, the entire outer city wall was completely cleared in less than an hour.

    With his arms naturally resting on both sides of his waist, the knight walked on the wet mud floor under the moon, and the armor on his body made a clicking sound as his limbs moved

    Soon, a temporary house appeared in front of the Moon Knight.  Stopping, Yuexia nodded slightly to the October Knights behind her.

    "Yes!" The October Knights quickly dispersed and tightly surrounded the entire house.

    The sword is placed on the shield, the waist is half-hunched, and the posture is completely alert to the enemy.

    After seeing that this house was strictly controlled by the October Knight, the Moonlight Knight slowly stepped forward and walked towards the inside of the house.

    "I'm extremely sorry Wang, I'm late!"

    The first thing the Knight under the Moon saw when he just walked in was Char who was sitting on a wooden chair. Next to him, the Song Knight stood tall, looking vaguely proud of himself?

    Raising his eyebrows, Yuexia felt a little unhappy looking at Sheng Ge's proud expression.

    Bedivere and Lancelot are also in this room. They are just like the Song Knights who never leave Char, guarding Artoria's side.  However, Lancelot seemed to be slightly injured. His right arm had been bandaged by a military doctor. Bedivere had advised him to rest, but Lancelot refused.

    "King, all the enemies on the outer perimeter have been eliminated. The main force of the enemy has also been pulled into the interior of the fortress. It seems that they are preparing to defend to the end" The knight under the moon reported to Char.

    Xia Ya nodded, all this was within his judgment.

    "Thank you for your hard work, Yue Xia."

    "It's my pleasure, King."

    Xia Ya stood up from his seat, walked to the door of the house and looked towards the inner castle.  I saw that rows of French soldiers had tightly defended the entire inner fort, and a few archers were distributed on the watchtower.  Unlike the damage to the outer walls of the Blood City that had been suffered for centuries, the buildings inside the Blood City were still intact, and the strong and heavy gates were almost comparable to the thickened solid wood on the outside of the Blood City.

    "The defense of the inner fort is stronger than that of the outer wall. Although our army has captured the outer wall in the conflict just now, we lost more than 300 soldiers before we finally occupied it. Although the French side was defeated  side, but in fact the casualties of the other side are not much higher than ours. They only exchanged the corpses of more than a thousand soldiers for 3% of the casualties of our precious troops. Wang If this continues  ." The Psalm Knight said.

    Xia Ya nodded and said: "I know We set out overnight to support London. Not to capture a fortress whose location is almost worthless At least that's the current location."

    Narrowing his eyes slightly, Xia Ya frowned as he looked at the seemingly well-defended inner fortress.

    "King, what if we adopt a siege tactic?" the Song Knight asked cautiously.

      As a result, this opinion was opposed by Bedivere, and Bedivere took a step forward and said: "I'm sorry, Your Highness the Psalm Knight. But the current situation is not suitable for a long-term siege tactic. If we are in  If this delays too much time, then London is very likely to be under attack at this moment"

    Bedivere said worriedly, his eyes filled with anxiety.

    "Calm down, Bedivere." Artoria said.  Bedivere was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was a little impatient, so he stood back quietly.

    Arturia frowned slightly and slowly turned her head to look at Char who was standing by the door.

    She understood that compared to the disputes between herself and others, the only decision-maker who could truly control the movement of the army had not yet spoken.

    "Charwhat do you think?" Arturia asked.

    Char retracted his gaze to the outside world and said: "Soldiers are valuable and quick. The French Empire has made up its mind to use 10,000 people to drag the main force of our army here to buy time to attack London, the symbol of honor and the capital of the British Empire. As long as once  If the city of London is defeated, defeated in the Hundred Years' Holy War, half of the navy is wiped out, and even the only glorious capital is captured. You can imagine the desperate expressions of those English people They will have a look of despair. Similarly, once London  The English have lost their spiritual will after being broken. Even if the Scots join forces with the Irish, they will never be a match for the French Empire. And we, Pullen"

    Xia Ya showed a bitter expression: "Our elite army was trapped in a remote lake port by a mere 10,000 legions. Even if we can fight one against ten, in the face of simultaneous attacks from all directions, even we can't.  If we don't retreat in defeat, let alone provide support."

    This sentence made the Song Knight and the Moonlight Knight both look dissatisfied. However, since they could not refute, they could only swallow the words that came to their lips with a sigh of relief.

    Compared to the dissatisfied expressions shown by Hymn and Yuexia, Arturia relaxed her frown and said with a smile: "So? She claims to be the best in the world, and even shouted "The whole world"  !  Attack from all sides!  "The proud king. Lord Plun, Drac.d. Char?"

    Arturia seems to know Char's temper very well. With his arrogant temper that he wants to put his chin in the sky, so that everyone can only look up at his chin, it is impossible for him to say that this kind of demoralization is even harmful.  Words of loss.  And whenever he says something like this, it must mean one thing.

    The King of Pulun, Drac.d. Char couldn't stand it any longer.

    Sure enough, Char smiled sinisterly at Artoria.

    "They want to play? It's a pity that I don't have such a good mind. The opponent has used various means to contain our army from the beginning, and even deliberately gave up the defense of the outer city to show a "we are trapped" attitude. The opponent  The commander-in-chief is really an amazing guy. He is indeed commendable for risking his own life in order to achieve his goals! Very impressive!"

    "What? Deliberately giving up the defense of the outer city! How is this possible?!" the Psalm Knight said in surprise.

    "There is nothing surprising." Xia Ya said with a smile: "Facing our Pulun Army, we still want to rely on that dilapidated city wall to block our attack. It would be much easier for us if the other party's general really considered this. They would never  From the beginning, they had no intention of relying on the outer wall to resist us for too long. From the beginning, they planned to defend the inner city. If I guessed correctly the rations of all the villages they attacked along the way were probably destroyed.  It was moved in in advance.”

    "Why are they doing this? If they stick to the outer city, there is no need to retreat to the inner city for defense. Just trying to break through their full defense with brute force, even the Pulun Army will suffer heavy losses!" Psalm  the knight demanded.

    ………Xia waved to the Psalm Knight.

    ?  The Song Knight who didn't know why walked up to Char.

    Then, Char pressed his big hand, and then rubbed the Song Knight's short, smooth hair, and said with an unhappy face: "Roland, don't always use your upright, upright and upright concept of a knight to decide the outcome.  War strategy. Of course, perhaps underhanded tactics are unworthy of chivalry, but as long as you can achieve your greatest goal with the smallest sacrifice, then it is victory!"

    "Oh! I'm sorry, King!" The Psalm Knight struggled hard under Char's hand, but anyone could see at a glance that she clearly enjoyed Char's way of getting close to her.

    The knight under the moon watched coldly from the side, "tsk" in displeasure, and sheathed the sword that he had quietly pulled out.

    After all - if now "use all your strength toThe momentum of chopping down a hill." If he slashed with his sword, the king might be frightened.

    "Ahahaha the relationship between everyone is so good haha"

    Arturia very carefully noticed the strangeness of the Knight under the Moon. Of course, she also noticed that the Knight under the Moon really wanted to kill the Paladin Knight with a sword at that moment In the helplessness, there was still a trace of it.  A thief?  The feeling of being discovered made Artoria just stay there and smile awkwardly.

    "The opponent's purpose from the beginning was just to slow down our army's march. If we ignore them and make a detour, not to mention the more time the detour will take, there is also no guarantee whether they will give up defense and adopt harassment tactics.  Luuring them out of the city is a good way, but we don't have enough time to arrange all this. They gave up the outer city just to tell us that they had no choice but to retreat to the inner castle for defense. But I can guarantee that the defense  The strongest and strongest thing is definitely the inside of the inner fort. It is impossible to capture it without making huge sacrifices and taking more than three days! So"

    Char Ya gently let go of the Psalm Knight, stretched out her finger and touched the Psalm Knight's forehead and said.

    "Divide the troops. Hymn, under the moon, I leave you three thousand soldiers and all the archers. But the Knights of October and the Knights of the Guard, and a thousand cavalry will set out with me! Give up unnecessary luggage, we will be in one day  Rush to London in half the night!"

    As soon as these words came out, the Song Knight, who originally looked happy and enjoying himself, was stunned on the spot.

    Even the Knight under the Moon was stunned on the spot.

    This is the first time that King Pulun has given an order to separate from his guardian knights and fight alone
