Chapter 119: The Battle of Nuremberg (1)
As the 15th Corps opened fire first, the somewhat cold and desolate Nuremberg area quickly warmed up, the pale sun was not at all devoid of the smell of summer, and the slowly advancing soldiers, accompanied by military music and officers, walked into the distance.

Muskets, sabers, magic armor and air cavalry, such as Lin's military flag rippling in the air, just the number that can be confirmed has already exceeded twelve corps, and the Northern United Army is obviously overstaffed!
The largest of the ranks was where the lion's horn was located, and the majestic pattern was clearly enchanted, and a large number of professional knights were firmly guarding their leader, General Alexander, the commander of the Northern Union.
A young general who has not had any defeats since his debut, and an invincible northern military god, there is no reason for the local city-state army to fail with him.
This time, not only the city-state army, but even the soldiers of other states who were indiscriminately filled with numbers were full of confidence (even if it seemed that the number of the southern army on the opposite side was only half of the number on this side, would they lose?
"I don't care if they lose or not, how is Colonel Jonathan's artillery prepared?" Lorraine looked at the enemy's banner with some displeasure, if there was no big mistake in the intelligence department, there would be more than 80,000 people in front of him alone, not to mention those who were left behind and the reinforcements on the road.
"Because of the terrain, only half of the artillery can be used normally so far, most of them are small and medium-caliber, and the ammunition is only special bullets and chain bullets."
"That's it......" Stretching out his hand to feel the direction of the wind, Lorraine was depressed and found that if he used special ammunition at this time, he might be more seriously injured, as for the chain bullet...... The enemy hasn't reached the maximum damage position yet, so it's not needed yet.
"Order the troops to get ready, the cavalry and the magic panzer wing are starting to circle the flanks, I don't want this Alexander general to come over in peace."
With the deployment of the commander, the cavalry and magic armor quickly left the defensive area and tried to detour along the path, only to find that the enemy had also sent a surprise force to advance towards Nuremberg.
Everyone is elite and super powerful, so what are you waiting for?
The cavalry team had a lot of unhappiness because of the decline in status, and when they saw the enemy draw their muskets for the first time, it was a salvo, and no matter what the result was, they drew their swords and cried wolf and launched a charge!
The distance is less than four hundred meters, and it takes at least a moment for the war horse to charge, and when the enemy reacts, he is also not to be outdone, and the counter-charge begins!
The light cavalry staged cavalry hedging in this era, and usually only the heavy cavalry a hundred years ago would have such a cruel drama, without heavy armor and spears, and horses alone were also extremely lethal.
In the eyes of the Magic Commander Armored Driver, the cavalry's confrontation is a broken thing that is behind the times, and now it should rely on: a sturdy shell, reliable moving wheels, an elemental cannon in his hand, and a heavy weapon with enough weight!
"Don't worry about the task! Kill all these Yankees! ”
"Rush!"
With an explosion of adrenaline from the top of the blood, Lorraine's raiding force has officially declared engagement, but staying away from the main battlefield is really of little use, and hopefully the surviving fools will continue their mission.
"General, the sneak attack force is under attack by the Breton cavalry and the magic guide armor, and the situation is not good."
"I didn't expect that General Lorraine to have this hand, and it won't get in the way...... Send reinforcements to wipe out the enemy. ”
"Your will."
The knight left immediately with Alexander's order, but the young general didn't smile much, and the raid didn't have much hope, but the failure of the plan was still very unpleasant.
The depressed mood did not affect him for long, and at about 10 o'clock in the morning, the Northern Union broke through a number of Southern outposts, approaching Nuremberg from three directions.
"A bunch of damn Yankees." Lorraine kept receiving news, but unfortunately it was all bad news that the position had been broken or that he had asked for reinforcements, which had to make him doubt his command level.
Only when you actually sit in the position of commander do you know that there is not much resemblance between the real combat and the game.
The map is not fully open, and there is an invisible fog of war everywhere; There will always be communication delays and misunderstandings between soldiers and officers, not to mention the vastly different executions between people; It has never been smooth sailing, and if you want to achieve your goal smoothly, in addition to trying to prepare, the rest is to pray that the enemy will not see through your intentions.
That's what the hell is, in the previous two states of the conquest war, Lorraine actually didn't need to do much work, the ability of the Son of Heaven can reduce the supply pressure of the troops, coupled with the all-round advantage of the magic mechanized army over the modern troops, it is a little difficult to lose.
Now in the face of the northern union, Brittana's advantage is compressed to a minimum, and there are also magic armor and air cavalry troops, what can he do at this time......
"It's about listening to professional opinions......
"Report! Major Alex, the first line of defense of the main Nuremberg body, sent a message that the enemy had sent three infantry companies to attack the position, asking for instructions! ”
"Let him keep watch, and I'll give him fire support."
"Yes!"
Watching the herald leave, Vivien looked at Lorraine with some concern, "General, isn't it a bit ...... to start contacting the enemy so soon?"
"Hmm...... It's a little unsettling, but that's the reality. Lorraine shrugged, then closed her eyes and began to manipulate the magic of the Son of Heaven.
……
On the first front, Mills' 8th Rifle Regiment was firing at the enemy, and as the supreme commander here, Major Alex went from initial excitement to irritability.
Most of the enemies in the exchange of fire were slave soldiers, and these scrap wood with worn-out muskets and rotten knives would only consume the ammunition of the troops, but if one did not pay attention to them, they would rush up quickly and engage the Bretannian soldiers in close combat in the shortest possible time.
Alex didn't notice at first, and it turned out to be a nightmare to lose a squadron of musketeers in less than half an hour of firefight!
"Major! The commander ordered......"
"I'll see!"
Alex snatched the order from the herald, and unsurprisingly saw that Lieutenant General Lorraine had asked him to hold his position, and there would be fire assistance soon.
"Fire help will be ......coming soon," Alex silently folded the order, "but I need fire coverage now!" ”
As he said this, the more than 2,000 men of the Northern Union rushed frantically towards the slope of the first line of defense in front of the horns, bounties, and knives of the Warlords.
In a short period of time, they will be saturated with muskets, and combined with the disadvantage of attacking from low to high, this unit will not have much combat power left even if it can break through the first line of defense.
At this time, Nuremberg's walls were filled with a number of defensive tools made of elements and plants, and in a strange creaking sound, countless blocks temporarily bonded together by magic were thrown into the air.
After more than ten seconds, a large amount of terrible rubble and ...... fell on the perimeter of the first line of defense
"What does this smell like!"
"Ah...... It stinks! …… No, my legs! ”
The screams and wails, the fire support that Alex never expected, turned out to be an ancient trebuchet - even the ammunition was a disgusting mixture of sticky juice, and if it was not smashed to death, it would be poisoned to death (disgusting death). (To be continued.) )
