"What did you say, the siege has already begun?!"

An Sen looked at the cavalry lieutenant in front of him in astonishment: "Didn't we agree to let them surround them first and start when we arrive?"

"That's right, but..." Jason, who was out of breath, widened his eyes. He just got the information from the messenger and his expression was more exaggerated than Anson:

"But Lord Leno Emmanuel does not intend to wait any longer. He said that the rainstorm is an excellent cover. With the rain screen, the firepower of the city walls and artillery can be reduced by at least two-thirds - as long as it can break through the first The defense line, and the rest can take the Port of Carindia by himself, without the need for coalition support."

"More and more importantly, the heavy rain in the Port of Carindia often lasts for more than a week; if we wait for reinforcements, when we arrive, the entire Port of Carindia will become an impassable swamp. It's hard to win; so... so..."

Looking at Anson's increasingly uglier expression, the fumbling cavalry lieutenant did not dare to continue.

"So he didn't wait for us, and decided to take the Port of Carindia with a quick attack?" Anson rolled his eyes.

To be honest, Leno Emmanuel would have decided to do it, and Anson could understand why.

The crowned king, Claude Francois, seems to have graciously kept his promise, ceding the port of Carindia to the Emmanuel family, and even gave Renaud an army of 10,000 people to facilitate his recovery. This is the most fertile city in the whole land.

But in fact, Claude I was harbouring evil intentions - he gave Reno 10,000 soldiers, but he did not give him the heavy firepower necessary to attack the city, not even a six-pound infantry gun.

The Storm Division coalition, which nominally "cooperates" with the siege, has the most powerful heavy firepower in the entire Han soil; so unless Renault is willing to fill the trenches with human life, he must rely on the power of Anson Bach to take this away. A port city belonging to Emmanuel's family.

If the 10,000 soldiers were all Aiden, Reno would probably have done that; but Claude gave him a "motley army": one-tenth of the Aiden, one-fifth of the picture Benefactor, the rest are all the army of the original Grand Duchy of Mist.

Although the vast land has been unified now, relying on the banner of the Francois royal family and the power of the Emmanuel family, Reno will not command them; but if he clearly asks them to die for his family...

In the face of the rebellion, he even let Reno "kill himself with six shots in the back"... The Mist, who had just been dealt with severely by the Emmanuel family, could definitely do it.

And if Anson's power is used to win the port of Carindia, the Emmanuel family will definitely pay a heavy price - there are Carindia, who was skinned and cramped, and Mist, who barely left a layer of skin. Before, Anson Bach and his storm division had long been famous.

"When will it start?" Anson asked slightly depressed.

"Today, at eight o'clock in the morning, the attack was launched on time."

The sweaty Jason replied quickly, and while calming his breath, he took out a pocket watch from his arms. The two brass hands were steadily stopping at the "twelve" and "two" positions:

"It's two o'clock in the afternoon."

Well, so it's definitely too late... Anson sighed again in his heart.

"Deputy Commander, since the Emmanuel family intends to attack the city alone..." Jason put away his pocket watch and looked at Anson carefully:

"Then...are we going to Port Carindia yet?"

Although he knew that the port of Carindia was very important, the lieutenant of the cavalry knew better that there was actually nothing to grab for this port city at the moment. The storm division had already picked it up several times, from nobles to citizens. squeezed.

Compared with a deadly port city with little oil and water, it is more popular to confront the Imperial Expeditionary Force on the Western Front.

If this port can be turned into an enclave of the Kingdom of Clovis, Anson will become the governor of Carindia Port, the Storm Division will be transferred to the port garrison, and perhaps the cavalry lieutenant will be excited for a while... But unless Anson is Carlos II lost for many years brother, otherwise it would only be pure dreaming.

It is one thing to send one or two expeditionary legions to invade, and to penetrate the tentacles into the hinterland of the vast land and confront the empire head-on... Now Clovis does not want to, nor does he have the strength.

"Go, why not go!"

Anson's mood was a bit irritable, and some kind of horrible memory of being led by the nose of incompetent allies and superiors - definitely not scolding Major General Ludwig, definitely not - seemed to come back at this moment:

"Target the Green Valley, the light cavalry will open the way, the Storm Division will serve as the vanguard, throw away all unnecessary baggage, only bring infantry weapons and three days' worth of ammunition and supplies, and the entire army will be dispatched on a rapid march!"

"As for the Han Tu people of the coalition army...one-third maintain the original speed, one-third follow behind, and one-third are thrown into the baggage unit for me - cavalry to pull the baggage cart, infantry to charge me with infantry artillery Get up and go full speed ahead!"

"Get ahead of the Hantu Legion and take the Port of Carindia?!" The cavalry lieutenant suddenly became excited, his heartbeat accelerated exponentially, the blood all over his body seemed to boil with sweat, and his cheeks were flushed red. .

"No!" An Sen poured him a basin of cold water directly:

"Arrived at Carindia before the Han Soil Legion was wiped out - I don't want to collect their bodies!"

………………

"Hantu people - move forward!!"

The hoarse shouts penetrated through the layers of rain curtains, shaking everyone's minds, and swept the Port of Carindia with the silhouette of the mountain and the tsunami.

In the violent storm, thousands of figures were roaring, charging, pouring out the stars with the flame of their guns... The hysterical footsteps were pounding the ground incessantly, accompanied by the hunting wind, rolling up another round of torrential rain in all directions.

In the early morning of the 15th day of the eighth month of the 100th year of the saint's calendar, the restless Renaud attacked the port of Carindia half an hour earlier, after staying up all night.

Relying on their familiarity with the surrounding terrain, nearly 10,000 people escaped the scouts and sentries of the imperial advance army with the help of the rain screen. Using the sound of gunfire as a signal, the infantry regiments launched a general attack in turn.

When the Imperial Advance Corps discovered that something was not right, Reno's legion had already rushed under the city wall; the frightened Hatos soldiers raised their bayonets, shot at random, and used charges and roars to cover up their inner fears.

The effect...surprisingly good.

Because it was confirmed that the Hantu army on the opposite side had no artillery, the advance army generally maintained a strong inner advantage, and it was determined that these stinky fish and rotten shrimp would never dare to attack the city without artillery support.

But as a result, they not only attacked the city, but also attacked the whole line without leaving any back-up and reserve troops!

Tens of thousands of people rushed up from the position, and the advancing line of troops almost covered the entire front of the city wall. The terrified scouts were lying on the city wall. , Dense figures break through the rain curtain...

The unprepared Imperial Expeditionary Force was caught off guard in shock and panic, and didn't even notice the direction of Leno's main attack... By the time the North City Gate was captured, thousands of soldiers from the Hantu Line had poured into the city and began to advance along the main road.

Port of Carindia is a port city, a trade city...where transportation is always the top priority; in order to reduce transportation costs, she must have a road that connects the port and the trade route, and even the entire city should be around this road built.

Therefore, attacking the port of Carindia doesn't have to be a block-by-block capture like other towns - just follow this main road and you can penetrate the entire city.

"boom-!!"

Gun flames spewed and flickered in the torrential rain, and dozens of figures fell to the ground screaming and screaming in the choking gunpowder. Among them, there were Han Tu people in different clothes, and there were also imperial line soldiers in uniform blue and white uniforms.

The scalding gun barrel was still spewing rage and bursts of white smoke; the corpses that fell to the ground were repeatedly washed away by the torrential rain, and they had lost their temperature in muscle spasms and convulsions.

"attack!"

The lead bullets in the barrels were fired at the fastest speed, and the phalanx of these Han soil soldiers immediately burst into a cry, no longer maintaining a linear formation, carrying bayonets, and rushed towards the barricades of the expeditionary force like a tidal wave. .

"Go on! Go on! Go on, don't stop!"

In the chaotic sound of gunfire, Renault with an eager expression waved the saber in his hand, desperately screaming in his already hoarse voice: "Get the bayonet!"

"boom-!!"

Just as he shouted, a flash of cannon flames lit up behind the barricade.

Facing the tidal wave of enemies, the hot six-pound solid bullet shrieked with trembling hearts, and everything in front of it shattered to pieces in an instant, pierced through everything faster than before, and tore the "road of flesh and blood" in the dense crowd. .

The blood was splashing, the minced meat was flying, and the wailing and screaming were completely drowned out by the thunderous noise...until the smoke of gunpowder drifted away.

When the frightened Leno tried his best to push away the body, there was no one standing in front of him except the enemy behind the barricade.

But the Imperial Expeditionary Force behind the barricade was not able to be happy for too long... In just a dozen seconds between the artillery shots, hundreds of thousands of Hantu Legion had rushed up again like a tide, wearing a slightly scattered The volley of volleys, against the cross-fire from the left and right teams, howled and rushed into the barricade.

Struggling to get up from the icy rain, the pale-faced Reno supported his body with a saber; beside him were soldiers who were continuing to attack, and beneath his feet were corpses that were already cold in the dark red rain... The feeling of the battlefield has never been the same as it is now Such strong.

Did he think a lot at this moment? He seemed to regret it, and he seemed to be very determined. There seemed to be some kind of uneasy agitation in his blood, and he couldn't wait to wake up from his deep sleep.

He crouched down in a trance, picked up the drenched military flag from the corpse who had just saved one of his own, and shouted aloud among the countless charging figures:

"attack-!!"

With the 3,000-strong Hantu Legion completing the central breakthrough, the entire siege battle had entered a white-hot stage within 30 minutes from the start of the battle.

On the left and right flanks of the battlefield, the Imperial Expeditionary Force, who had already noticed that the North City Gate had been breached, desperately wanted to fight back, but was entangled by the enemy in front of them—as long as they dared to retreat, the mad Hantu people would even dare to directly Climb the city wall.

The roar of artillery continued to tear apart the rain curtain, but the extremely poor visibility made these heavy firepower lose their meaning of firing at a distance of 100 meters. aspect of the blow.

They couldn't see where the enemy was at all, let alone how many there were, so they could only choose to defend the fort, but in this way they completely lost contact with the friendly forces in the rear... So one fort after another was soon divided and surrounded, trapped in their own For the end of the war.

In fact, the Imperial Expeditionary Force occupying the Port of Carindia has two infantry divisions, nearly ten thousand people. In terms of strength, it is no less than Leno's legion. A head-to-head confrontation can even make him die without a place to die.

But the problem is that it is impossible for the expeditionary force to control only the outer city walls. In order to ensure the actual control of the port of Carindia, they must deploy the entire city for defense. Leno, who stayed behind, drowned in a sea of ​​people.

Seeing that the city gate was breached, more follow-up troops also turned their direction one after another, pouring into the city from the north city gate, and extending to the left and right, trying to surround the first-line imperial defenders of the city wall and completely annihilate them.

However, for the Hantu line private soldiers who have only been trained for less than three months and basically only know that the muzzle is aimed at the enemy and the trigger is pulled, this kind of tactic of "flanking the back line" is still too complicated, and the level of inferiority is only suitable for Heke. The gangs of Lowe City are long and short.

So under the "subtle tactics" of Reno Emmanuel, the soldiers who rushed into the city began to lose contact one after another, and the establishment collapsed... Under the leadership of the officers and lords, the soldiers turned into robbers and bandits, and set fire in the outer residential areas. They killed and looted, and opened fire on all the living that stood in their way.

However, the order of the port of Carindia has already completely collapsed in the previous riots. Almost all those who are still alive are vicious thugs, or servants who serve the Imperial Expeditionary Force... These "engaged in side jobs" The soldiers of ' were inadvertently destroying the foundations of the Empire's rule in the Port of Carindia.

At this moment, the expedition force, who had just woken up from a dream, was still devastated by Renault, who was advancing all the way, and the peripheral elite defenders who were completely besieged, and had no time to care about these scumbags.

Because I never thought that the opposite side would dare to attack the city with only a group of infantry, many of the expeditionary soldiers in the city were unaware of what happened. When many troops were assembled, they thought they were going to suppress a group of soldiers. Unarmed rioting citizens.

So far, only an hour after the war started, Lenore has captured one-third of the Port of Carindia, and the core main force is still advancing towards the port; They can only barely slow down the speed of their progress.

The balance of victory seems to be tilting towards Leno with an irreversible momentum.
