At noon on April 20, the emissary of the Church of the Two Moons respectfully and proudly handed over the declaration of war to Doniva, officially marking the beginning of the defense of Elta. But in fact, in the early morning, the main forces of the Central Route Army and the Northern Route Army had already crossed the western border one after another. The 100,000 men of the Northern Route Army were commanded by General Youerde, and the commander of the Central Route Army was Marshal Rucha. The last 150,000 men of the Southern Route Army had also entered the western plains of Elta, and the commander was General Irano.

"Hmph, Uffy Mondridge is still an unpredictable prophet." Rucha looked at the map full of circles, and sat in the shed of the Zelesi Market, which was already an empty city, and sneered. "It is true that the enemy cannot hold out, but at this time, isn't it a delay of the enemy to divide the troops to break each one? If I go straight from the avenue to the shield city, I will never be at it again. It is nothing more than to prevent the enemy troops on the high ground and in the city from waiting for an opportunity to sneak up on our rear...... But will there be fraud in this? ”

Rucha pondered for a long time. It was certainly not for nothing that the enemy did not move during the two days of his march. The red circle in front of him resembled a stake, filled with deadly chains. Breaking free from any of these points will inevitably result in a force from both stakes. If a stake is to be uprooted, there will inevitably be an outcast......

"Herald!"

"At your disposal, Marshal."

"Summoning the four men of the Commanders, Elasia, Tiz, Kurfiti, and Macchiry, to the camp."

After a while, the four commanders respectfully knelt in front of Rucha. "Get up. I have called you here today with a great mandate. ”

"Thank you, Marshal, for your help—what kind of task is it?" Erasia asked first.

"You command your respective light and heavy infantry units in your warbands to capture these three enemy strongholds on the map. There are four routes to march, so you can decide by lot. ”

McChilly picked up the map and asked puzzledly, "Then there is an enemy stronghold next to us, won't they come to outflank us?" ”

Tiz also shouted out his question: "It's too strange that four troops are going to attack three strongholds!" In the middle of it is still a village, and it is decided by drawing lots......" he said, and his voice began to gradually become quieter.

"Who knows." Rucha touched his general's belly again. "If you don't do your best, you'll be killed, Commander. Okay, you can retire after the lottery. Tomorrow at noon you can try to go up the slope. Good luck. ”

Tiz's complaint paid off, and he drew the southern route of the village. Kurfiti drew the north, Erasia drew the northernmost and Macchiri drew the southernmost. The four thousand-strong troops moved out of the main camp of their respective war regiments during the night, and there is not much to say.

Rucha saw with his own eyes that the four commanders had moved outside the city of Zelasi, and then went to the door to give orders to attack several warbands. The order was simple, the 50,000 forward troops drawn would rush directly into the western plains of Elta and take the shield city after the 4,000 men began to attack the enemy defense line tomorrow. These 50,000 vanguard troops are basically cavalry soldiers in the war group, and some of the Wyvern-dragoons other than the direct escorts and scouts will also cooperate with this raid, and about 200 horsemen can participate.

And in the tents outside the city, there was also a hint of conspiracy. McMurray pulled out the tent. "Commander Elasya, do you have any intention of cooperating with me?"

"Cooperation? What is the cooperation law? Erasya was clearly surprised by the late-night arrival.

"The two people who draw the middle way will definitely join forces or join forces to attack a village that is relatively easy to attack, right?"

"It's obvious. You're trying to say that we're going to the village to stir things up too? ”

"Not really." McChilly laughed. "In that case, even if we win, even if we don't lose a single soldier, we will die of disobedience."

"So you mean that we will attack one of the two mountain strongholds together?" Erasia seems to have opened her mind.

"Yes." McGerie snapped his fingers. "I made a concession and attacked the northern stronghold first. But you must also assist me in attacking the southern stronghold after victory. ”

Erasia thought for a moment, then stood up and held out her right hand to Macquiry. "Yes, my brother."

At dawn the next day, the attack on the towns and villages began. And the combined light and heavy infantry units of Macchiri-Erazya are still on the way. It took a morning to get from outside the camp to the battlefield. After a short break for lunch, the two troops began to line up at the foot of the hill and prepare to march together towards the villages on the high ground.

"The whole army obeys the order, attack!" Coordinated by this, Tiz and Kurfidi's light and heavy infantry unleashed the power of the enchanted weapon, and at the same time rose up and launched a dash attack on the village stronghold only the last dirt slope. It stands to reason that villages and towns would be easier to capture than the easy to defend and difficult heights, but this time they all bet on the wrong point.

Not because of the terrain, because this is the battalion headquarters of the 4th Battalion of the Elta 1st Infantry Corps...... Two companies of troops were stationed here.

Hua Zewei, the battalion commander who was also the commander of the division, threw aside the flare gun that had finished firing the flare in one hand, and sounded the charge horn tremblingly. The 60-mm mortar was immediately loaded, and the first shot was poured over the heads of the Tiz infantry. "Lao Tzu can be regarded as the first shot in his life and entered the history textbook! Hahahahahahaha! After Wazewei, who had endured this group of infantry for half an hour, blew the trumpet of the charge, he laughed as the mortar squad stuffed another shell into the chamber, and the anti-reloading device quickly jumped to its working position, and then it was lifted because the shell flew out of the chamber.

"Woo-a-aaa The explosion of this shell immediately overturned a small area of light infantry that had dispersed. "Lower your body and move faster!" Tiz gave the solution almost intuitively. The only advantage that light infantry without shield protection had was their forward speed. But compared to speed, two 60-mm mortars were clearly superior.

Under the premise of constantly correcting the firing elements, shells every three seconds kept falling on their heads. The grenade has a radius of more than ten meters, and the only thing the infantry can count on is that the bodies of their remaining companions can block as many fragments as possible, and the heavenly thunder that bets on the empowerment with their faces will not fly into their death radius. However, both are on the face. The soldiers, who were covered in the rain of shells, could only express their despair of this face-watching world.

The situation of the heavy infantry of the Kurfidi was clearly better than that of the other side. The mortars knocked down only a few brothers. They all died thoroughly, absorbing a lot of energy and fragments, and the others were only slightly injured. Kurfidi took a closer look at the trajectory of one of the shots, it was obvious that the monster was thrown into the air with strange force, and as long as they approached the village, they would not be unprovoked!

The brave commander of the Cunfi was the first to jump over the last dirt slope in front of the entrance to the village. "Follow me! My soldiers! Fuck those bastards who just throw rocks at our heads! Come on! ”

"Silly X." The company commander in the room not far away cursed slightly. "The old rule, you can't fire until you count to twenty."

Mortar fire really could not threaten the rear of Poe! Curfiti excitedly brandished his broadsword. "Everyone! Take the village! ”

By this time, most of the hoplites had jumped over the ridge line. There was a soldier in the north room, probably because he was too nervous. Count to twelve and fire.

The gas of the intermediate power bullet is restrained by brass and the chamber, forcing the warhead to rotate forward within the rifling. The disemboweling bullet hit the enchanted steel armor of the hoplite in less than a second, and the huge kinetic energy directly removed the enchantment effect of the steel armor completely, and then penetrated the steel armor, taking away the poor hoplite's ribs and consciousness.

"Damn. Who fired the shot? Look back I don't clean him up. Forget it, give me the order, fire! The company commander held back the fire in his belly, and then pressed the trigger of the Type 81 light machine gun.

Suddenly, the muzzles of black holes erupted from the windows of every room, followed by flames that turned red and yellow. From Type 56 semi-automatic rifles to Type 81 light machine guns, the scorching net of fire simply could not allow people to pass through.

Kurfiti was still watching in amazement at the hoplites who had fallen to the ground with blood coming out of their mouths and steel armor holes, when the gunfire erupted. Before Coulfiti could turn his head, a single bullet broke the central nervous system protected by his helmet. Thanks to this accurate bullet, Kurfiti no longer had to endure the pain after this. The ensuing shot hit the cuirass of the chestplate, but the well-enchanted breastplate actually caused a medium-power ricochet, but also severely damaged several ribs of the centurion. The three projectiles that followed nearly shattered his breastplate and all of his ribs. The pain was so great that the lower half of the body, which had just been severed, automatically knelt down. Together with his hoplites, Kurfiti fell on the road leading to the entrance to the village.

Shoot, press the trigger and shoot again. The Heavy only needs to aim his crosshair at the enemy and hold down the trigger. A thousand-strong hoplite squad was wiped out.

At the same time, on the other side, the mortar-stricken Tiz forces had just crossed the ridge line with difficulty. Tiz himself had been bloodied in the front half of his body by the fragments of a shell, his lungs were leaking, his eyes were blinded by shrapnel, and his arms were covered with scratches and punctures from fragments. He was still able to breathe, but he didn't live long.

The lightly armed infantry who rushed to the earthen ridge line were no better. As a result of their hasty crossing the Hell Reception Hall, they stepped into the eighteenth floor of Hell. There was no need to conceal at all, and here the new infantry of Elta, with their bayonets loaded, took their rifles and sent them back to the bottom of the ridge line one by one—in fact, to the bottom of the land, but this was only the first stop.

Hua Zewei didn't need to blow the trumpet this time. By the time he also rushed at the remnants of the hoplites with his pistol, his troops were already in front of him. The remnants of the hoplites, who had not yet crossed the ridge line and witnessed the tragic situation, were already sitting on the ground with dull eyes, and some had even begun to drool inexplicably. In the past, giving a butt solved the battle.

No one survived, but the good news was that there were plenty of intact weapons left to prevent them from dying in a hail of bullets like their hoplite counterparts. After counting it, there is still one loot left, which is really a great benefit.
