Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Scuffle in Sazi Town 1
Readx;?on the outskirts of the town of Sazi
This small town in the southern plains was once the granary of the Kolsalans, and since the conquest of St. Orlando, it has become a logistical base for guerrillas who are unwilling to submit to the colonists. www.biquge.info Of course, there have been countless master rulers in its history who have declared sovereignty here, but the natives have always been able to get the supplies they need from Sazi, and since the leader of the guerrillas, Sukh successfully captured the town, it has gradually become a logistics base and trade center for all guerrillas, even if you are not Suk's troops, you can buy enough supplies here.
Now it has turned into a hellish battlefield, the raging flames have engulfed the farms on the outskirts, the corpses of the militia and the guerrillas are under the thick smoke that covers the sky, and their wives and children are in their homes not far away, **** lying in pools of blood, and from time to time you can still see the unfortunate people who are all set on fire rush out of the fire, but unfortunately fall under the guns of the invaders.
The fine huts were reduced to ashes, the peace and tranquility of the past were gone, the layers of corpses were entangled, countless knives, guns, weapons and artillery with depleted ammunition were thrown on the battlefield, famous warriors and mages fell here, slaughtered by the enemy like chickens and ducks in the vegetable market, and the Serans caused a heinous bloodshed here because it was the stronghold of the Kolsalans, and the League of Island Nations, which had no home advantage, would rather kill all the natives than take them back to be slaves.
Major General Chirac and his staff team and guards stayed five kilometers outside the town, silently watching the town of Sazi under the smoke of gunfire. The Thran Expeditionary Corps, which had been marching for several days, had not been assembled, and the troops he brought with him were thousands of puppet troops in addition to the three thousand regular troops, and these shameful bastards were venting their **** here, but they have not been able to take the town down so far.
Ever since the Allies had acquired the wreckage of the airship from the Normans at considerable cost, they had managed to replicate a makeshift version of the airship by relying on their country's magic industry and a decent number of mages, and Chirac's head hurt when he thought of the ugly appearance of the fathead fish and the few ten large-caliber naval guns.
Fortunately, with the help of that fat-headed fish airship, he managed to gather so many troops, and he could find a puppet army to take out the town of Sazi together, so there was almost no doubt that the southern part of Korsalan would definitely fall into the hands of the Nineteen Nations Alliance of Therland. In the raid on this side under his command, the motherland must have gathered enough troops to attack the port of Toulon.
Unfortunately, in the face of such a good situation, Lieutenant General Chirac was not happy for long, and the list and the number of prisoners presented by his hooligans could only be said to be unsatisfactory.
"At present, about 3,700 pounds of potatoes, 1,100 pounds of miscellaneous grains, 20 barrels of meat, 400 pounds of meat, 120 gallons of inferior beer, less than 200 pounds of gunpowder, less than half a ton of lead used to make bullets, and 4,000 prisoners have been captured, even though they are old, weak, sick and disabled!"
The clerk reported to Chirac with a sad face what he said, just a little bit of what was enough for his subordinates to eat, not to mention that there was a steady stream of puppet troops rushing over to take refuge, and he had to find more food and grass for the regular army on his back, otherwise he would rely on the advance army to carry five days' worth of food with him, how could he be.
Even more unfortunate is that four days have passed, the enemy may appear at any moment, his army is already exhausted, the airships are no longer in hand, and there is no reliable source to make Lieutenant General Chirac very anxious.
"Alas, the matter has come to this, we can only collect supplies as much as possible, what is the situation on the front line?"
"The 25th Rifle Company has just launched an attack, but it was driven out by the enemy, and while a group of puppet troops were dispersed, they were also killed and wounded more than 30 people, and the company commander was asking for tactical guidance and supplies."
"Damn, we've taken half of that town, can't they even beat the farmers who just picked up their guns? You must know that the other half is the final important material area, I gave more than 1,000 people to the front-line commander, and so far there is no result, does he want to try military law! ”
After losing his temper angrily, the unlucky Lieutenant General Chirac still has to face the fact that the army's attack is blocked, and he can be sure that the enemy on the opposite side is definitely the end of the crossbow, as long as he invests some more troops, he can take Sazi, but it takes time to gather the army, and now the troops that can still be gathered are only 300 infantry and the most important 200 cavalry companies, which are the core attack troops of Lieutenant General Chirac, and must not be thrown into the street battle and consumed inexplicably.
"If I can still find three companies of infantry, and those artillery who don't know where, I won't be able to take this damn place in less than a day......"
While the lieutenant general was complaining about himself, Suke had already approached the town of Sazi with the elite troops of the guerrillas, and along the way they witnessed the brutality of the Serans, and the enraged guerrillas attacked three bandits who were burning and looting, and unexpectedly discovered that the other side might not have enough troops.
For this reason, Suker specially brought Lorraine, Jon and Melissa to join the battlefield as mercenaries, and the reason why Lorraine, who didn't want to come to this troubled water, came because the captured and surviving militia of Sazi Town told them that there was a four-person adventure team in the town as the core force to resist the attack of the Thrand army, among which the powerful Russ warriors, as well as the expressionless mage girl, all reminded Lorraine of a certain squad that disappeared in Transvania, and of course, the fat warrior and the cold swordsman with a large shield, It made him suspect that it was the uncle.
Although I don't know why they ran to Sazi in the southern region of Kolsalan, of course, as a friend, you can't sit back and watch them die and ignore them, of course, Suke's mercenary money is also a big factor, after all, not everyone can give a high price of two hundred gold coins a day and the right to choose the loot first.
With the help of three high-ranking professionals, Suk was able to start supporting Sazi according to his own ideas, but it would take time to gather troops, and it would be impossible for the regular army to counter the opposing side with a guerrilla force of less than 400 men, so Lorraine's help was needed at this time.
Since the employer needs it, Lorraine also has the idea of experimenting with a second-level authorized base, especially since the guard camp has been upgraded to a warrior camp, he has never built it, even if the little goblins have been collecting materials for a long time to fill that special space.
After this upgrade, the soldiers that can be produced in the warrior camp are no longer the most basic four elemental troops, including the appearance of cavalry and ranged units, but the environmental problems of the Korsaland Peninsula, Lorraine wants to play the most role of the soldiers, and the race can only choose the earth element, fire element, and wind element.
In order to make up for the lack of defense of the guerrillas, the first is the most basic earth element heavy warriors, these heavy infantry who look like the general Roman army can effectively resist all kinds of attacks, of course, the resistance to elemental magic is definitely insufficient, the queue of 4*10 has been able to make small and medium-caliber solid bullets unable to penetrate the entire column, and the guerrillas can hide in the gap and behind the queue to shoot.
As for the fire element, it appears as a ranged unit, and Lorraine usually does not make this kind of unit, because there are too many magic items in this era, and even minions can buy magic items that protect the element. There are two teams of twenty fire elemental projectors, who can shoot flame javelins at targets from fifty meters away and flame arrows at targets from a hundred meters away, as long as Lorraine's magic can keep up, their firepower is unlimited, especially when they die, they can also self-detonate, which is definitely a nuisance.
Of course, the wind elementals have to exist as cavalry, but unfortunately they are not smart enough to glide in the air at most, and they will sneak into the enemy's flank to attack, although I don't know if the enemy will have a flank.
The smoke of gunfire made the battlefield seem like night, the resistance in the town became weaker and weaker, and just when the Thran officers thought the battle was coming to an end, a new round of more brutal killings was about to begin.
