Chapter 309: Carriage V-Formation
The sky flashed brightly, and the sound of gentle vibrations spread across the surface, and the roar rolled away in the sky, unsettling like muffled thunder.
In the forest, a long procession of horse-drawn carriages runs through the forest.
Ivan sat in the car without a ceiling and looked up at the sky, the weather today was not sunny, gray clouds drifted overhead, the temperature was a little cold, but the soldiers did not feel cold.
"Thunder? Not quite like it, a bit like the sound of an explosion. Ivan muttered, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, always thinking that something would happen in this war.
Earlier, when he was conquering Southbank Town, Ivan had already received a carrier pigeon notification that the Lionheart's army had just set off from the royal city.
Due to the long distance between Wangcheng and Tomorrow City, and Allen's suggestion to continue to take Shuizhu Port, Ivan did not return to the city until he conquered Shuizhu Port.
I received a notice this morning that Lionheart had arrived around the city.
He placed the slaves in the back and assigned 200 soldiers to take care of them temporarily, and he led 1,800 men to Tomorrow City.
Now it is very close to Tomorrow City, and when he hears the sound of thunder just now, Ivan thinks it is thunder, but it doesn't feel like thunder.
Explosion, must be an explosion!
Rumble, an explosion-like roar echoed through the air.
It exploded again, and the explosion was so loud that the two sides must be in a fierce battle.
According to his calculations, he was still five or six thousand meters away from Tomorrow City, so close to that side, maybe he could steal the enemy's ass when he returned.
"No, go up the tree and take a look."
Ivan picked the tallest tree, climbed to the top of the tree in a few steps, and looked out, but did not see the city wall, after all, it was too far away.
But he saw the light flash in the sky, and after a dozen seconds, a small mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and around the mushroom cloud there were many small black dots as tiny as dust, and they flew in all directions.
It looked small, because Ivan exploded four or five thousand meters away, and if he was next to Allen, he would see the volume of the flame cloud covering half the sky.
Those small black dots were also thrown away by the explosion of the masonry of the city wall, and each time the masonry landed, it would smash and kill some of the lion soldiers.
"There's a big explosion over there, go back!"
Ivan's heart was pounding, and the bad premonition was even heavier, some people said that the premonition of the awakened was very accurate, could it be that many people died?
He didn't know, and he didn't want to know the real answer, and when he saw the small cloud of smoke rising, he returned to the surface and ordered all the orcs to speed back to the city.
The soldiers on the drive were in a hurry, and increased the frequency of whipping, so that the horses could speed up their speeds.
After a while, the carrier pigeon flew above the army of wagons, and after being guided by the soldiers of the carriages, it sent the letter to Ivan.
Ivan's sense of unease grew heavier, and he spread out the letter and wrote:
"Lionheart has laser weapons, the city wall exploded, the wall soldiers may all be sacrificed, the guerrillas are still there, return quickly!"
His face changed slightly, and his palms clenched violently.
The orc next to him wanted to read the letter, so he quickly hid the letter and said in a serious tone: "Prepare for battle, load ammunition first." ”
"Okay." The orcs in the same car had no objection and bowed their heads to reload.
When Ivan received the letter, the Lionheart's army was dodging the fragments of masonry thrown by the terrorist explosion, and the smoke and dust blocked much of the view.
By the time the people of Lionheart hung dozens of ropes to climb the wall, Ivan had returned to a thousand meters and saw the broken city wall, with a huge gap in the middle, and a sunken black dirt pit, in which white smoke and dust flew into the sky from time to time.
On the left and right sides of the broken wall, there were dozens of ropes at the walls that had not exploded, and scrawny slave armies were climbing the walls along the ropes, dying for each climb.
But there were too many slave soldiers, and even if the front-loading rifled flintlock pistol was reloaded quickly, it would take twenty seconds to make a round, which could not keep up with the enemy's troop increase.
"Dead, all dead." The orcs looked at the vacant place and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Lord Ivan, what about the people on the city wall, they should all have run away, right?"
"Everyone is still alive, Lord Allen is still alive, he is waiting for us in front, you see, the orcs on the wall have been shot down, this is the proof."
Ivan deliberately concealed the death count, in fact, he was also very painful, he was the one who knew the truth, but he did not dare to say it, he did not want to destroy morale.
"With the cycling array from the previous drill, assault!"
"Yes!"
The carriage carrying the musketeers sped forward, quickly joining Alan in front of him.
After Alan got into the car, everyone keenly noticed that the city lord, whose will was as hard as steel, had changed a little, and there was a faint sense of exhaustion between his eyebrows.
Anyone who sees a big explosion and even razes people and walls will feel tired...... I don't know what the green soldiers who died in the hearts of the seven hundred people.
"Next, I will command the scene, and the flag bearer will prepare and command at any time." Eren held the gun, the fatigue disappeared, and the confident face allowed everyone to find the center bone.
"Yes!"
The flagbearer on the car pulls out the colorful flags, each representing a different command.
As the flag-bearer unleashed the flag, the wagons lined up in two straight lines and surrounded the enemy in a V-shape.
All the musketeers in the car were divided into two groups, one with a shield and one with a musket.
On the other side, the Orcs of Lionheart are excitedly watching the slaves climb the wall, watch the slaves be shot down, and count the number of slave deaths over and over again, so as to calculate the ammunition consumed by the Tomorrowland guerrillas.
But what the hell is the sudden sound of rolling wheels behind you?
The lion soldiers turned around and saw the convoy burrowing into the forest, and in just a dozen seconds, two straight convoys were discharged, and the two straight lines vaguely formed a V-shaped encirclement formation.
In an uproar, all the convoys erected a small square steel shield, and a black barrel protruded from the gap between each shield.
Two hundred and twenty-five wagons, 1,800 smoothbore gunners, at the moment they have plenty of ammunition, a hundred meters away from the enemy, and the V-shaped encirclement formation can ensure that they are covered by crossfire.
"Fire!"
Bang bang bang!
The sound of muskets rang out across the battlefield, the flames flickered, and the smoke rose in rows, and the bullets shuttled through the smoke screen, hitting row after row of lion soldiers.
A hundred meters is not the best shooting distance, but the orcs of Tomorrow City are better than the number of people, and the orcs of the Lionheart Kingdom are all close to the city wall, and a salvo sweeps over, and nine hundred blood flowers bloom in an instant.
Two seconds later, the spearman pulled out a second smoothbore flintlock pistol and pressed the trigger again, and the lion people were defeated, and another 900 people died.
Boom, two grenades spanned a distance of two thousand meters and landed where the most ordinary lion soldiers lived, the earth shook, the grenade roared, the high-temperature flames and the shock wave took away more than two hundred people.
In the first round of attacks, Lionheart lost 2,000 people, and all the dead were regular soldiers!
Because the slave army had to climb the wall, they were all squeezed close to the wall, and instead became a safe place.
The people of Lionheart couldn't figure it out, didn't they blow up the main walls of Tomorrow City, and where was the convoy that suddenly appeared.
"Damn, what now, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" The generals shouted, calling out to their king.
"His Majesty is dead, right where the explosion just happened!" Someone shouted.
When the orcs of the Lionheart Kingdom heard that the king had been killed by a grenade, their hot hearts instantly stopped, and the chill reached the Heavenly Spirit Gai.
