In the midst of the haunting crackling sound in the sky, Hans led everyone to bury their heads in the position, glancing at the shells that were speeding through the sky out of the corner of their eyes, and no one dared to poke their heads out to see the situation outside at such a time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The artillery salvo of the Arna Corps lasted for ten minutes before finally coming to an end, and after a cloud of dust, the sound of the artillery gradually subsided.

They were going to send a force up the hill to check if the enemy had all been killed, otherwise why didn't there even move at all?

"Hans, they're gathering soldiers!" shouted the sight in a deep voice, a shell that had flown less than two meters above his head from the shelling just now, and he still had a chill down his spine.

Hans patted the dirt off his hair, wiped the lenses of his telescope clean, and looked at the enemy position more than 2,000 meters outside the mountain.

Through the camera, he saw that a small force was being assembled, numbering only a few dozen, while the remaining artillerymen were sitting leisurely in the position, eating some dry food and drinking some water, replenishing their strength and relieving the fatigue of the long journey.

"Let them feel the power of the cannon. Hans curled the corners of his mouth wickedly and clenched his fists.

"Fortunately, the other side does not have a huge artillery, otherwise our position would have collapsed. ”

"How could it not be, it's just that that guy is too heavy and too heavy, this vanguard can't take it with a rapid march, and the real main force is still behind. ”

“...... Isn't such a fierce firepower the main force?"

"Well, the one named Christine said that the Arna Legion is made up of tens of thousands of people, and we are facing less than a thousand. ”

Hans took a big sip from the flask, and looked up at the sunset, his eyes filled with deep anxiety and worry, and beneath it was a looming divine mission.

"We need to save ten hours of shelling, and we must let the fleet leave safely anyway. ”

Silence spread through the positions, and the artillerymen hung their heads thoughtfully, forgetting to even reload their gunpowder and prepare for a counterattack.

Sensing that something was wrong, Hans turned his head to look at them and smiled.

"What's the matter, I'm afraid of death?" he asked briskly.

"Aren't you afraid, Hans?"

"Of course I'm afraid, maybe I'm more afraid of death than any of you. ”

"Then you're still laughing... The enemy's vanguard alone can defeat us so that we can't raise our heads, and when the main force presses up, I'm afraid the whole position will be razed to the ground. ”

While the artillerymen were all looking at him, Hans unhurriedly took out the dry food and chewed it, showing a calm and calm smile.

"Because in my senses, there is one thing that is more terrible than death, and that is to lose everything that I have. I'm not as good as our captain, but I have one thing in common with him, we both treat the fleet as our own. ”

Hanston stared at the horizon and clasped his hands behind his head to enjoy the wonderful sunset: "Actually, each of you is just like us, you are part of the fleet, we have to make a fortune, and we have to go back to the New World, don't we? Cheer up, young men, we must not only ensure that the fleet leaves safely, but also save our own lives!"

His flat tone did not seem to be a pre-war encouragement, but the wonderful thing was that it caused quite a ripple in the hearts of the artillerymen.

Because it portrays a complex, a longing, and more importantly, an inexplicable mission.

The faces of the artillerymen were indeed a little brighter, and their emotions were much higher, and they no longer worried about the fear of death, and began to fill the gunpowder and prepare for a counterattack.

"I don't think you're the same as you used to be, Hans. The hunter of the same country laughed as he carried the cannonballs.

"I have to learn something by following the captain. Hans smiled lightly, then took a deep breath and solemnized his expression: "Ronnie, please run your errands and inform the various hills, it's time for us to fight back." ”

At this time, the positions of the Arna corps.

"General, what are you looking at?" In the position, an officer respectfully followed a man.

"Sunset. General Arna craned his neck to watch the sun set over the mountains in the west.

A smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "One day, we will be able to stand on the continent of southern Europe and watch the sunset." ”

"Hmm... General, it is possible that the enemy is still alive, they will strike back at any time, please retreat behind the position so as not to be hit by shells. "The officer's expression was very flat, and he didn't seem to be interested in the sunset or anything, and he was not interested in the expedition.

War is a game of rulers and high-ranking generals, and for lower-ranking officers and rank-and-file soldiers, it is just a giant meat grinder.

Rather than conquest and plunder, officers and many ordinary soldiers were more concerned about when the expeditionary force would set out and when they would return, and whether they could retire and live a stable and prosperous life again.

"No need, if you want to open artillery on the opposite side, you will open it early, our powerful legion has always swept the battlefield and has never encountered an opponent. General Arna smiled indifferently, still staring at the sunset, not the slightest nervousness in his eyes.

"But General, I have a question I don't understand. ”

Say. ”

"Our first vanguard should have arrived here in the early hours of the morning, and it stands to reason that they should have intercepted the enemy at sea, but why is there an enemy defensive position here......? The vanguard has been wiped out?"

"No way. The general replied without hesitation, that he had never thought that his troops would lose the battle.

However, after thinking carefully about what the officer said, he gradually frowned: "Maybe the shells are running out." ”

After speaking, he saw that the team that was going to enter the mountain for inspection had been assembled, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and go back quickly, after destroying this position, we still have to go to the sea to find their warship, and then we can go back to ask His Majesty the King for credit." ”

Looking at the back of the team leaving, he pinched his eyebrows with a headache, and whispered to himself: "It's really tiring for such a vulnerable enemy to transfer my Arna Legion from so far away." ”

The words just fell!

Rumble!

Two sounds, just two sounds, but they caused the earth to shake like a mountain.

Against the backdrop of the setting sun, two huge granite cannonballs flew from the top of the mountain in the distance, and the sound of their friction against the air could still be faintly heard.

A sense of crisis suddenly surged into the general's heart.

"Get down, get down!" he shouted, raising his hand to press down on the officer next to him.

The soldier, who was still drinking water and eating dry food a second ago, blinked in a daze, and after reacting, he quickly found shelter and hid, eager to stuff the whole person into the crack in the stone.

Bang!

The shells hit the ground with a thunderous roar. (To be continued.) )
