Chapter 117: The Enemy Army Appears!
The figures that Lucius vaguely saw were indeed members of the "Leviathan" special forces.
As for why they didn't come and kill them, the reason was very simple, they were afraid of death.
After all, even they don't necessarily know exactly where their mines are buried, only a general range, and as long as they don't go into the pit, they can be safe.
After confirming that Lucius and his troops were trapped in a minefield, several team members lying on the ground quickly stood up, and then ran towards the rear, catching up with the speed of the original troops.
Three kilometers away, at the temporary operational command office of Fort Remlos, Division Commander Simon was pacing anxiously.
"Report to the division commander! The cannon is ready!"
A herald ran into the cabin, saluted Simon, and reported.
"Very well! How's the preparation on the airship's side?" Simon asked after a pause.
"The airship has already been contacted! I just need Mr. Frank to help translate! Sir, he is very resistant, very reluctant to come to the front!"
The soldier said loudly, loudly.
"Don't you want to go to the front? I don't care what means you use! Even if you tie him up, you have to tie him up for me! Send me a few more people, and control all the big goblins around him!"
Simon frowned, waved his big hand, and let the soldier go down.
"Yes, sir!"
The soldier responded, and turned and ran out.
"Are the regular troops ready? Have they all been mobilized before the war? I don't want them to have the combat effectiveness of the 'Leviathan,' just guarantee that they can complete the five rounds of guns!"
After finishing his artillery business, Simon called Ford, who was in charge of the regular troops, and asked him about the infantry.
"You can rest assured of me! there is absolutely no good juice for them!" Ford snapped his chest, assuring Simon.
"There's no room for error, Ford!" Simon said, frowning.
"Ahem!" our Ford deputy division commander coughed dryly twice, then picked up a parchment document.
"All the soldiers stationed on the main road have been withdrawn, 702 mines have been laid on the main road, 3,000 regular musket infantry have been laid on the front battlefield against the enemy, 500 to protect the left flank, and 500 to protect the right flank.
"30,000 men were requisitioned to transport military supplies; a total of 63 artillery shells were mobilized from the city for three direct-fire howitzers; 7,320 mines have been placed, and a total of 6,000 meters of barbed wire have been used, completely blocking the possibility of the enemy's cavalry breaking through......"
The Ford Knight spoke for a full fifteen minutes, as if he were talking about the name of the dish, but Simon could hear every word he said accurately, maybe it was a tacit understanding.
"Yes, how is the morale of the soldiers? After all, this is the first time we have faced so many enemies, and the morale of the soldiers cannot be broken. ”
Simon digested every point Ford had said, then nodded in satisfaction and asked again.
"Don't worry, I've already held a mobilization meeting for the soldiers before! The morale of the soldiers is now like a rainbow, even if there are more rebels, our soldiers are not afraid!" Ford took a sip of water and pointed out the window.
Simon followed his finger and looked out the window, and was relieved to see the soldiers patrolling outside with ruddy faces and high morale.
"Well, you can rest for a while, we'll be busy in a while. ”
Simon waved his hand and motioned for Ford to take a break.
"Okay, you!" said Ford, who ran and lay down again.
Although this product is usually not very reliable, he dares to say anything and dare to do anything, but when it comes to major events, Ford is absolutely unambiguous and does not drag the slightest bit of mud and water.
"That's what it looks like to be in charge!"
Simon whispered, a smile on his face. In fact, Ford's ability to maintain an optimistic spirit at all times is still very important in the military.
For example, in his previous mobilization speech, he was able to say "Fight! Rich officials, rich and wives! Escape! No face, no life, no interest!" This made the soldiers laugh and enlivened the atmosphere.
In a sense, Ford is also a rare talent.
"Is there any news from the Leviathan, what's the battle ahead?" Simon asked when he saw Knight Charles walk in.
The task assigned by the management of the barracks was given to Simon to the delicate Knight Charles, a job that no patient could do, and Charles was the best candidate.
As the administrator of the barracks, all the first-hand battle reports will be handed over to him, and all orders will be conveyed to various units through his transit.
"That's what you're here for. "Charles's voice is warm and easy to trust.
"Captain Colin has already returned with his troops, and they have planted more than 200 mines on the path, and they have also trapped a small army of enemy troops. Charles Knight had a strange smile on his face.
"And, according to Colin, they have made a few grenades specially made by Lord Carolon and buried them in the fort, and they will blow them up at the slightest touch, and maybe they may even kill the enemy's vanguard general!"
"Oh, is it? It's so beautiful!" said Simon, with a punch on his face.
"Those few thunderbolts definitely exploded, Colin and they heard the movement, the power of the explosion was comparable to the power of ten kilograms of TNT explosives piled up together to detonate, and the Lord would probably have to peel off his skin if he didn't die. Charles sighed.
Simon felt that all this was a bit dreamy, and "Leviathan" was so beautiful that he was worthy of the old man before.
First, he destroyed three groups of scouts and set up a gallows to demonstrate; then took advantage of the rain to detonate the mountain cliff and create a man-made mudslide, completely annihilating an elite knight of the enemy; then he stopped the enemy from rushing to repair the road, killed four or five of the enemy's engineering mages and created chaos, and then easily repelled a wave of enemy attacks; when retreating, he cleverly set up a deceitful thunder trap, and killed nearly half of the enemy's forward generals.
The most important thing is that it is a miracle that not a single one of the "Leviathan" people died, but only three minor injuries!
This battle really made Simon feel that times have changed!
The era of the future is the age of guns and gunpowder, and vindictiveness and magic should take a back seat.
"Report! Lord Charles, Division Commander Simon! The enemy army has appeared, totaling more than 20,000 people, head to head, and you can't see the edge at a glance, it is estimated that there are still people in the valley!"
At this time, the soldiers of the military management office sent an urgent report from the front, which made the entire army nervous.
There were more than 20,000 people, and thousands of cavalry, fighting in the plains, which was in the past, how could this group of recruits dare to stop it?
But now it's different.,The deeds of the "Leviathan" have spread in the army.,The soldiers stared at the grenades in their hands and the lead bullets enchanted by the enchantment machine.,One by one, they were full of fighting spirit.。。
Those knights are not so terrible, even if they are powerful, even if they can fight against a hundred, even if they are in a high position, they only need one shot, and if one shot fails, another shot can still be taken down.
With such a mind, the warrior went to the battlefield!
