Chapter 484: Military law is ruthless

Victory is the glory of soldiers; Failure is not all shame.

However, it is definitely a shame to lose without a fight, and for whatever reason, it is a shame for the military!

"It doesn't matter how they fought before. But now it's good for us. ”

Hathaway said that she had enough troops to keep all the underground coalition forces here, and she was worried that she didn't have enough men.

The first step, of course, is to get the underground coalition to follow the muses. Bale fought to defeat both...... It's not that she's dark in her heart, it's really a muse of undamaged strength. Bell was a threat to both her and the Cordillera. And with the muse. Judging from Bell's command skills, this is not a conspiracy at all, and if he is properly commanded, he may even defeat the underground coalition army.

Of course, if the underground coalition forces are about to collapse at the slightest touch, it is not in the interests of the Cordillera Territory, and Hathaway wants both to lose, and neither the Empire nor the Bell family have time to trouble her.

"I don't think so."

Barthes. Willie knew Hathaway about Muse. Bell was deeply wary, shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I heard that the commander of the Southern Army, Gredo. The Marquis of Vasari was very stubborn and had a deep prejudice against the local lords. ”

"It's easy to do." Hathaway said with a smile.

She also has a certain understanding of the factional strife in the empire. From the central and local levels, there are only two major factions, one is the royalist faction and the other is the ruling faction. The former, of course, is dominated by the royal family and the military department; And the latter was the local lord headed by the Grand Duke of Casev. The former believed that all power should be handed over to the empire, and that the lords must obey the empire unconditionally; The latter, on the other hand, believed that the central government should not interfere with the rights of the lords.

The contradictions between the two sides have been going on for a long time. It's just that each has its own concerns, and it doesn't lead to it. But due to the outbreak of war, first the southern lords rebelled, and then the northern lords were ready to move, so that now the situation in the empire is turbulent, and everyone is very careful to wait for the chaos to end...... Or maybe it's a bigger mess. In this case, whether the Southern Legion will respond to Hathaway is indeed an uncertain factor.

However, Hathaway also thought about it, and her eyes looked at Leonardo. Beirut. smiled: "This is going to have Leonardo." ”

Leonardo. Beirut was a favorite of Fivenel XVIII. As long as that Marquis Vasari was truly loyal to Fivinel XVIII, it would be much easier.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, you are here. That Marquis Vasari will definitely support us fully. "Bilin. Hegel reacted immediately. Naturally, she also knows some insider information.

"Leonardo. This matter really needs to be contacted by you to get the Marquis of Vasari to transfer all the cavalry out of the city and prepare for battle. Since we're letting this group of wolf cavalry go with the muses. Bell can't do it. They had to be wiped out on the spot. Hathaway said.

"My lord, there is one more thing. If we need to use poppers or incendiary grenades in this fight, we may not have enough reserves. "Jafa on the side. Troun reminded.

In order to complete the task of burning the supplies of Milan City, most of the ammunition carried by the special operations team was consumed, which was certainly not enough to support another battle of a similar scale, and the enemy army was not those immobile materials, so they would need more ammunition.

"This is easy to do, I have other considerations, and I still have time to prepare." Hathaway burns enemy supplies at every turn, so she will never let herself be in such a predicament.

In the fairy garden, there are not only a large number of military rations, but also many other materials. Among them was gunpowder that had just been produced at the Cordillera military factory...... To be honest, gunpowder is much easier and cheaper to produce than a burst bomb or something. It's just that although the sulfur is constantly being transported from the demon plane, there is still no way to increase the output immediately, and Hathaway has only two hundred tons in his hands so far...... Of course, it was enough to deal with the battle in front of you.

The long distance of the troops is not suitable for immediate battle, and it takes time to communicate with the city, and all preparations take time, and Hathaway is also the opportunity to test the new weapon.

"This is the new weapon you're talking about?"

In a clearing in the center of the makeshift barracks, Leonardo. Beirut watched curiously as Hathaway built a small fortress out of inches of copper plate, and then took out something that looked like a package.

"That's right." Hathaway handed the small pillow-like package to Leonardo. Beirut hand.

"Huh? It's so heavy! "Leonardo. Beirut saw that the package was not large, so he took it casually, but unexpectedly his hand sank and almost fell to the ground.

Bi Lin. Hegel, Barthes. Willie and others also came to watch.

This is a package of explosives made by a military factory after many trials, and in addition to the yellow explosives, each explosive bag contains four kilograms of iron shreds...... If this thing explodes, even a heavily armed soldier will be hated, and it is even more terrible than a burst bomb. And the length of the fuse is also carefully calculated. Except for the testers at the military factory and Hathaway, no one else had ever seen this new weapon, so they all expressed doubts about this thing that didn't look like a big killer no matter how it looked.

"How do you use this thing?" Bi Lin. Hegel's repetitive view was extremely disdainful.

"Give it to me."

Knowing that she wouldn't be so clever about lighting the fuse, Hathaway carefully took it, placed it in the 'fortress' she had built, and then pulled the fuse out and peeled off the fire cap...... This fire cap is a special igniter, once peeled off, it will quickly ignite the fuse, this is probably a big killing weapon with no magic element at all, and it is rare in the entire Titan world. If Hathaway made this discovery public, it would definitely be a discovery that shocked the world...... Of course, Hathaway would never do that.

"Retreat 100 meters!"

Hathaway casually threw away the fire cap and led the men to the prepared cover.

"Do you need to be so nervous?" Bi Lin. Hegel was unimpressed, and poked his head out behind the bunker.

"Be careful!" Hathaway reached out and pressed her head down.

Rumble~

There was a deafening sound, followed by a dense 'clanging' sound. The whole venue seemed to suddenly blow a gust of wind, and more than a dozen broken steel plates flew over the heads of Hathaway and the others. Hegel changed color...... Although she was a golden martial artist, if she hadn't used her Dou Ring and Dou Qi, those steel plates just now would have been enough to make her die more than a dozen times.

In the barracks, all the warriors were frightened by the sudden loud noise, thinking that there was an enemy attack, they took up their weapons one after another, and those war horses and even the earth dragons let out an uneasy roar. Willie had to go first to reassure the army.

"Hopefully it won't alarm the underground coalition forces." Hathaway was a little remorseful. However, the barracks of the two sides were extremely far apart. The other party may not be able to perceive it.

The 'fortress' in the middle of the field had long been blown away, and the broken steel plates picked up from the ground were covered with traces of iron sand ejections, and some of the iron sand was even embedded in the steel plates. The power of Bi Lin. Hegel and others were shocked.

"This thing is too big. Not suitable for airdrop use. "Bilin. Hegel said with some regret.

"Not necessarily." Jafa. Troon observed the scene of the explosion. "It's okay to bomb for short distances, but it's a little difficult to immediately increase the flight altitude of the vulture at the moment of throwing...... My lord. Can you delay the explosion for a moment? ”

"Of course you can......" Hathaway's eyes lit up, once this weapon can be airdropped, the target will be more accurate, and the lethality to the enemy will be greater.

Especially after this weapon is put into service, neither the cost nor the effect is comparable to that of a burst bomb...... Hathaway suddenly had the feeling that she had unleashed a ferocious beast and entered the Titan world.

After a day's rest, the troops moved out.

"Order the troops to move forward and camp fifteen kilometers from the city of Firog." Hathaway said.

The commanders of the various departments immediately sent orders downward, and needless to say, the direct forces of the Cordillera led by Hathaway were treated as second only to god-like beings, and the orders were forbidden. And although the other two light cavalry brigades are not her descendants, the current lifeblood is also firmly grasped in her hands. If they didn't know much about it before, the experience of this time was enough for Hathaway to establish prestige in their hearts. Especially in the hearts of all soldiers, Hathaway has another identity, that is, the dragon knight...... Uh, it's the Dragoon Magi.

In this world, the only people who can get the approval of the dragon clan are warriors, even if it is an abyssal evil dragon.

Although the troops suffered a lot since their departure, especially after entering the Pyrenees, they descended thousands of miles from the Jiuqu River to reach and destroy the city of Milan, and although there were non-combat attrition, they finally won the battle, and this alone increased the confidence of all the warriors in Hathaway.

Now, they knew from their respective commanders that this time the troops were going to face the underground coalition head-on...... Until then, the Imperial army had been chased and fought by the underground coalition forces, and now it was about to fight back, which made all the warriors feel incredible and seemed to be taken for granted.

It is clear that the underground coalition has now discovered Hathaway's force, and there are a large number of scouts around the camp, the main forces of the two sides have not yet engaged, and there has been frequent contact between the scouts.

Under Hathaway's orders, all the troops marched and camped normally, and under the 'watch' of the enemy scouts, they cut down trees to make battle equipment, and simple trebuchets were built in plain sight...... Because the early task of the troops was a rapid attack, they did not carry large combat equipment, but in order to launch explosives packs, they made equipment temporarily.

The barbarian hoplites, neatly lined up at the front of the line, flanked by the light cavalry, Hathaway's troops, a total of 16,000 men, lined up ten kilometers south of the city of Firog.

A kilometer away on the opposite side, the wolf cavalry of the underground coalition army was already ready to charge, and countless wolf howls resounded throughout the land.

The human soldiers may be a little afraid of the wolf cavalry, but to the barbarians, those giant wolves are no different from the big dogs in the house.

Behind the underground coalition army, under the leadership of the Marquis of Vasari, the guards in Firog City also lined up in a phalanx, but their morale was far inferior to Hathaway's troops, which was also a helpless thing, after all, the Southern Army was still dominated by infantry.

The lethality of the wolf cavalry for infantry is still quite large, and a wolf cavalry can easily deal with four or five human infantry with the help of the power of a giant wolf.

The Marquis of Vasari watched anxiously at the enemy troops in the distance, although he listened to Leonardo. Beirut's words transferred all the cavalry to him, but his heart was still anxious.

In the first battle with the wolf cavalry, a column of heavy cavalry under his command was completely annihilated by the wolf cavalry with almost no resistance. In front of those giant wolves, all the cavalry turned into infantry...... And all the infantry, almost turned into farmers.

Marquis Vasari was also an old soldier, and he could see that, in fact, the combat ability of the wolf cavalry was no stronger than that of the human cavalry, and in some respects, it was even much worse. But once they lose the support of their horses, the human cavalry, like the soldiers, can only wait for the fate of being slaughtered. Having come to this conclusion, he immediately abandoned the city of Milan and fled all the way here.

Unfortunately, the Southern Army had only four cavalry, and apart from the one heavy cavalry that had been wiped out, he had only three brigades of light cavalry under his command. It is impossible for the two legs of the infantry to outrun the wolf cavalry. Therefore, he paid the price of five brigades, a full 20,000 men, to flee back to the city of Firog.

The Marquis of Vasari knew that no matter whether this battle was won or lost, it would be the gallows that awaited him. For decades, there have been no major wars in the Otiga Empire, but small battles have never stopped, especially with the Orc Empire.

Therefore, the military regulations of the empire are still very strict, like himself, who only resisted for less than a day, lost such an important city as Milan, and also lost nearly 40,000 troops and a large number of supplies, except for going to the gallows, he could no longer think of any chance of survival.

True, he was loyal to the empire, but ...... Military law is ruthless!

I am confident that I will *********** hit the water for 3,000 miles in 200 years***********
