I Will Be The Crowned King

"What did you say?!"

The disheveled Ludwig sat in front of the map table with scarlet eyes, so shocked that he almost knocked his head on the map table.

Just about three hours ago, he had just had a rather intense military meeting with the officers; for him to maintain a high-intensity attack, the tactic of gnawing hard at one fort after another, the entire regiment was in a state of extreme exhaustion, and All infantry regiments were inflicted with considerable losses, which made these officers very opinionated.

Most of these people followed Ludwig to fight against rebellion in the capital. They were all ready to join the commander to become the security army in the capital, but they were "assigned" to Iser to continue fighting... I had to count on it. The royal court, who was able to push all the way to the elf king, made a fortune, but he didn't intend to "win glory" for his Franz family.

In a word, it is too difficult for these troops who treat war as a business to bite the hard bones of Eagle Point City.

In fact, even Ludwig began to wonder if he was too impatient... After all, he only has more than 10,000 people in his hands. Even if he can quickly capture Eaglehorn City, this force is still not enough to attack the Iser Elf. of.

But this does not mean that he will compromise with a group of scumbags who know how to make money; the meeting broke up in Ludwig's roar; Ludwig fell asleep on the map table in disappointment and loneliness.

And now the guard who had just woken him up told him that someone was attacking the city!

And not in the direction on their side, but behind Eagle Point City!

Ludwig's eyes widened, disbelief written all over his face.

"Exactly!"

The guards who gave a military salute were also excited and trembling: "This is the first-hand information sent by the sentinel. They saw with their own eyes that the city gate south of Eagle Point suddenly exploded, and at least one artillery company-sized artillery was bombarding the fortress. City Wall!"

"And, and now, as long as you go out, you can see the explosion in the direction of the fortress!"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Pushing aside the guards, Ludwig with messy hair rushed out of the tent, looked up in the direction of Eagle Point City, and then...

Then he froze.

"This this……"

Looking at the flickering fire in the night sky, he could even hear his own voice trembling slightly.

No, that wasn't his voice... Ludwig woke up suddenly, and immediately recognized that what sounded in his ears were six-pound and twelve-pound infantry guns, mixed with various vague explosions.

But... who would it be?

Roman? No no no... He should be in the eastern battlefield now, with Anson Bach to stop the reinforcements of the Iser elf, no matter what...

Anson Bach? !

The moment he thought of the name, Ludwig made a "crack!" and pressed the hilt of the saber on his waist with his right hand.

That's right, only him... Only he can lead a lone army, appear behind the fortress without the enemy noticing, and only Anson Bach can launch a night attack without warning.

Although I really don't understand how he did it, and why he never got in touch with him, and he didn't appear in the west of Eagle Point Pass but in the north of the fortress...

But none of that matters now! There is only one thing that matters, that is, at this moment, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture Eagle Horn City!

"Immediately notify the troops at the forefront and let them... No!" Ludwig turned back suddenly, staring at the guard who was startled by him:

"Notify all the middle-ranking officers, let them complete the assembly of troops and enter a state of preparation within an hour...and half an hour, and let them kill themselves if they can't do it!"

"The front-line troops will be fully engaged in the battle within fifteen minutes, and the rest of the infantry regiments will be ready for support in thirty minutes; in an hour and a half, I will see 8,000 soldiers appear on the battlefield!"

"Yes!"

The guards who were also excited did not talk any more and ran away at full speed.

The sound of the cannons in the distance has not stopped, Ludwig stared at the flashing fire without a word, but his hands clenched his fists unconsciously.

………………

For the defenders of Eagle Point City, it all happened equally suddenly.

When Buller Mathias led 1,500 elite soldiers "returned with honor", and there were several "captured" Clovis flags, the defenders in the city didn't think much about it, and they were shocked. Joy opened the city gate for them, and excitedly asked how the victory was.

But unfortunately, what they got was not the long-awaited information, nor any precious results, or Anson Bach's head... but a cold bullet hole.

In just ten minutes, the unprepared Eagle Horn City was controlled by a "noble pure-blood elf knight" for a quarter of the fortress; nearly a thousand soldiers didn't even know what happened, and they became "partners". "The soul of the dead under the gun.

When the continuous sound of gunfire finally awakened the remaining defenders and tried to block the rebels with bugles and artillery on the city wall, the artillery positions of the "Storm Division" far away in the valley opened fire.

Buller Mathias was very honest. He brought not only 1,500 soldiers who swear allegiance to him and were determined to rebel against the water... but also all the defensive points of Eagle Point and the exact location of facilities.

Facts have proved that betrayal and surrender are only zero and countless times. For those who have tasted the sweetness from it, the idea of ​​doing it again is absolutely irresistible.

With this blueprint that is almost accurate to coordinates, even light infantry artillery can turn those solid fortresses into rubble and ashes one by one, completely paralyzing the outer defense of Eagle Point City itself.

Of course... the premise of doing this is to have enough ammunition, and to have a girl who can use an infantry gun as a sniper rifle and can hit a target from a kilometer away.

Accompanied by a series of precise blasting sounds, all the artillery batteries and artillery on the southern city wall of Yingjiao City were sent to the sky; amid the applause and cheers of the artillerymen behind, Lisa, who was so excited, smashed the artillery shells directly into the opposite side three times in a row. The gun barrel of the city defense gun, the proud corner of the mouth almost grinned to the base of the ear.

Buller Mathias, who had complete control of the southern city wall, immediately ordered that Clovis's unicorn battle flag was raised at the top of the tower -- this was the code he and Anson had negotiated.

Fifteen minutes later, three infantry regiments rushed into Eaglehorn City with the cooperation of the 1,500 Elf outposts, accompanied by the constant explosions on the city wall.

The roar of guns and guns came one after another, and the screams of death and panicked screams filled everyone's ears. The once indestructible, bustling and bustling Eagle Horn City was a purgatory on earth.

The once magnificent city walls and towers burned in flames, and the lively and magnificent market was decorated with corpses and blood plasma into a desolate corpse; the embers flew back and drifted in every corner of the streets.

Although after losing nearly one-half of the city, the remaining defenders of the fortress finally reacted and began to rely on the surrounding fortified defense facilities to stop them; but all this was doomed to be futile, because the enemy who attacked them was just like them Know these strongholds, and know more about the weak points of the strongholds.

At the same time, they have to fight not only the enemy in front of them, but also the sharp edge behind them.

The "reinforcement" that was defeated by Anson and fled to Eaglehorn City had more than 2,000 elves routed. Most of these elf nobles were not low in status - otherwise they would not be able to lead the army alone - more importantly, they were all It's clear what Anson Bach's promises are.

So when Buller Mathias proposed to launch a "night attack", these troops who had come to help Eagle Point City, under the leadership of their officers, all participated in it.

The reason why only 1,500 soldiers were taken away was, of course, to let the guards of the original fortress relax their vigilance and make them believe that they betrayed them; Cooperate with the siege at the critical moment.

It was a decisive and unanimous betrayal of all involved.

First of all, they are very clear that the road for reinforcements has been cut off, and it is only a matter of time before Eagle Point City falls; on the other hand, they are more aware that they are actually more like "outsiders" to the original defenders in the city.

For these "reinforcement troops" who have been defeated and stripped of their weapons and baggage, the fortress defenders will respect the other party's bloodline and status, but they will not trust them too much, and it is even more impossible for a group of "outsiders" to interfere with the fortress. Survival of military decisions.

Once the fortress falls, those who can survive are destined to be few, and the conditions will definitely not be better than before; so Buller Mathias simply gambled, betting that Anson would really keep his promise.

The original defenders of the fortress were the victims of their "defection".

Under the leadership of Buhler Mathias, the anti-water outpost marched on the bones of Paozer and ruthlessly opened the way for Ansen Bach's "siege army".

The imported Borne rifles played a huge role in their hands, with nearly four times the rate of fire facing the same old-fashioned and unprepared compatriots in tactics, the battle turned into an almost one-sided slaughter; Blocking, they are also not afraid to open the way with grenades, turning the "enemy" into a charred barbecue.

At the same time as the battle in the south was in full swing, the main force of the southern legion in the north also launched the first round of general offensive after hastily prepared.

The elf defenders who were guarding the outer stronghold were awakened by the sound of guns behind and in front of them at the same time - Ludwig, who always spoke with cannons, relied on the coordinates set by the day, and first carried out a full round of the outer fortresses. The rapid fire, and then the three infantry regiments were almost in front of the bayonet of the supervisor team, and launched a charge against the explosion point.

Because it was a hasty general attack, the entire attack was chaotic to the extreme. Except for knowing the direction of their attack, all the soldiers did not know what their specific units were responsible for.

All the combat units were crowded into a ball, and only the night of the stars could be seen, which also made the command system that was on the verge of collapse even more broken, and it was like a headless flies to confront the artillery fortress head-on.

But it was such a chaotic attack, because the incident suddenly still had a good effect; the elf defenders in a hurry actually waited until a gun fort was captured by the southern army before finally launching a counterattack.

At the same time as the southern legion "all-out attack", Anson Bach or the anti-water elf outpost finally encountered the biggest trouble of this raid - the fortress commander of Eagle Point City, still alive.

Perhaps because of his trust in Bull Mathias, he did not wait for his return under the city gate as the Elf Knight expected, but returned to the fortress headquarters to rest in advance.

The result was that the "everything went well" elven outpost did not kill the top commander in the fortress as soon as they planned.

After losing control of most of the fortresses, the almost collapsed defenders of Eagle Point City finally recovered their backbone and reorganized their offensive under the command of the fortress commander, relying on the innermost city wall and fortress to resist desperately.

This is one of the reasons why Eagle Point City is difficult to attack... As a fortress with a history of 200 years, it has been constantly remodeled and expanded because of its importance of existence value; but at the same time of expansion, many old fortresses and city defenses Facilities have also been preserved.

Therefore, Eagle Point City not only has large-scale defensive positions on the periphery, but also the entire fortress itself has three layers of defense. tower.

That is the tower of the Eagle Point, built by the Grand Duke Alfonso Francois two hundred years ago, and the tower of Erde Bach - the grandfather of Anson's great-grandfather - and twenty-five knights.

After the defensive line was broken one after another, the commander of the fortress led the remaining hundreds of elven soldiers to withdraw into the tower for the last desperate resistance.

The renegade elf outpost blew up a little bit of protection facilities on the periphery with grenades~www.readwn.com~ and attacked from all sides; the defenders in the tower were still stubbornly resisting, and the two sides killed you to the death between the innermost defense lines.

When the troops were insufficient, they simply blocked all the gates on the ground floor of the tower. When the lead bullets were exhausted, they picked up the stones and gravel on the ground, made a simple sling and threw them. When the gate was broken, they all threw their bayonets into hand-to-hand combat...

In this near-death style of play, Buller Mathias, who was soon unable to withstand casualties, ordered a retreat; for him, these officers and soldiers who "deeded" with him were also important capital; if In the end, he was the only one who went back alive, and the Mathias family would be disgraced.

After thinking about it again and again, Buller Mathias sent a guard he trusted to enter the tower with his own handwritten letter, and told the fortress commander that he would definitely make a request to the Clovis to protect him and his subordinates. Soldiers' lives.

Five minutes later, there was a crisp gunshot in the dead tower; the body of the guard whose skull cavity had been drilled by lead bullets was hung outside the tower with ropes, and there was still a letter from Bühler Mathias around his neck.

At the same time, the remaining defenders raised a **** swallowtail flag at the top of the tower.
