Chapter 30: The Battle of Bantang: The Siege of the Temple

An inexplicable counterattack on the mountain road caused two wounds in the expeditionary force, and the problem is that the ammunition that was already lacking is now even more scarce!

"I said it all, you have to save a little, now you have to use so much, how will you attack it when the time comes!?"

"We know it's wrong, but the general should think of a way!"

In the face of the wails of the officers, Lorraine has no good way at all, and if he can't stand on the base, he can't talk about restoring supplies, how can this bullshit logistics support an army of 5,000 people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Ahem, my lord, we only have more than 4,000 people now." Carl's kind reminder was echoed by Lorraine's white eyes.

"I know, it looks like the next temple fight will have to rely on Alexander and the melee team."

As soon as they heard the melee, the officers hurried back as if they had been pricked in the ass by a wasp.

"What are you panicking about!"

"You said melee! Everyone knows that it is difficult to fight fortifications, and now we have to fight in close combat, isn't it difficult for us? ”

“…… The troops who participated in the melee attack were given an additional 10 percent of the booty, and the additional 10 percent for voluntary participation were drawn from the spoils handed over to the regiment. ”

"My lord, our regiment's melee ability is the first in the perennial legion, and even the empress has praised us!"

"Don't listen to him! Sir Lorraine, we've been following you since Kolsalan, so of course you'll have to think about us first! ”

"Don't talk about seniority here, you old bastard!"

"Newcomer get out of the way! The scum who doesn't even have a beard is not qualified to ask for a task! ”

"Bastard! You idiot who only knows coffee, only drinking black tea can bring courage! ”

"How can the black tea party know the charm of coffee, draw a gun and duel!"

Money can make ghosts grind, Lorraine really understands this truth, the question is why do these scum make noise on black tea and coffee?

Both are good, but they taste even better with milk...... (Kill the milk thief!) 0v0)

"Quiet! The etiquette of the Brittan soldiers has been thrown away by you! ”

The sudden stern rebuke silenced everyone, and Alexander, dressed in black armor, walked in with his personal guards.

"This time, the task of attacking the fortification will be handed over to the Annihilation Company, and I will open the way to victory."

"That's right...... Then I'll give you another regiment of infantry support, and I'll try to provide long-range support......"

"No, Lorraine just needs to use a little more of your fame tactics."

Seeing the evil smile on the corner of the other party's mouth, Lorraine realized at this time that his famous tactic seemed to be self-destructing......

It's really an unbearable memory, who should blow himself up?

The location of Bantang Temple is different from that of other temples, and it is not built on the famous river, but on the seaside port.

It was supposed to be a place full of pilgrims, but now it has gathered an army of nearly 7,000 people, except for 3,000 regular mercenaries from Songguo, most of the others are nearby peasant soldiers.

Murong Ying tried his best to reorganize the army, and the recruitment of peasant soldiers was not concerned for the time being, but the regular army looked decent and should be able to develop its full combat effectiveness.

However, it is still chaotic to death.

The army directly under the pirate eldest sister is all at sea, and those pirates and warships are her foundation, but now he is in contact with the two hundred personal guards around him.

Even those so-called mercenaries are a small head, with brothers and relatives, plus a vote of unreliable vassals.

This mode of combat combination is basically about to disappear in the armies of Western countries, but in the East, where the industrial revolution has not yet begun, this mode is everywhere.

In the end, Murong Ying could only accept the stronger guys, and as the commander, he was in charge of various sections, including the outermost wooden city wall.

By concentrating the main force of about 1,500 people around the core temple, you can enjoy both the blessings of divine magic (although almost none) and the fortifications (two-meter-high walls).

"It looks like it should be fine, those Xiyi troops don't seem to have artillery, well, this time it's stable!"

Murong Ying's self-confidence for no reason is destined for an unreliable battle in the future......

The battle began early the next morning, and the expeditionary force began to assemble after eating the canned food, and about an hour later the storming operation officially began.

In the first wave of the attack, Lorraine sent a force of 2,000 men as cover, and the real main force was the reinforced regiment commanded by Alexander.

After being "educated", the waste wood of the pro-guard finally overcame their fear, and they can barely be considered brave, not to mention the zombies who fought with them.

"Master, are we really going to let these zombies fight with us?"

"Of course, how can we break the city if we don't let us?"

"But they have so many explosives wrapped around them, it's terrible!"

"If you dare to say that you're afraid, I'll kill you!"

The cowards of his subordinates resolutely stopped talking, and Alexander was not so angry, drew his long sword and musket, and even without a word from the ward Lorraine, he led the soldiers to charge!

"Chief of Lorraine, General Alexander...... Straight charged! ”

"What!?"

Seeing the leader of the Black Knight in the lead, those black warriors wearing death magic enhanced armor and a regiment of infantry were the backbone, and of course, a group of zombies screaming "Woo Woo Ah" dragged at the rear.

"I really didn't expect these Xiyi to be so reckless!"

"Commander, what should I do?"

"Do you need to say it? Iron artillery team, archery team, free fire! ”

The defenders' attack quickly paid off, and the infantry regiment that followed the attack decisively stopped and returned fire, but Alexander was already approaching the walls with his men.

"Everyone, throw grenades!"

"Yes!"

The grenades are all heavy guys, and they are usually thrown by some sturdy soldiers, but of course the Black Samurai or something can be done by one person.

Black, cylindrical objects flew up the walls, and of course there were many wood and clay shells, carved with the magic circles that Lorraine was most familiar with.

"What is this...... Ahhh ”

BOOM!

Explosions, debris, and green gas swept through the wooden walls in an instant, leaving the dead ones alone, and the remaining unlucky ones had to be gassed.

"Ahem, ahem...... Unable to breathe (foaming at the mouth and fainting). ”

"Help...... This...... Poisonous in! "This is the unlucky guy who has been killed by the poisonous mist of the death cloud.

The poor defenders suffered heavy losses in this wave, and almost no one bothered to take care of the expeditionary force under the city, and it took the slow zombies thirty minutes to reach Alexander's position.

"It's finally here, these slow-eating zombies!"

"What's next, General Alexander?"

"Humph!" Alexander commanded the zombies to stick to the wooden wall, and the cannon fodder, who were quite resistant to physical attacks, completely ignored the defenders' attacks, and by the way, they had a lot of explosives strapped to them.

"Of course it's a gorgeous explosion!"
