Chapter 501: Dragons Flying in the Night Sky
On October 11, in the evening, the Battle of the Iron Horse's Grip began. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Most of the coalition forces were grouped less than five kilometers east of the town. The two infantry wings at the front had launched a tentative assault on the Iron Horse's Grip, but were quickly repulsed.
The failure of the tentative offensive did not say anything, and soon the main forces of the coalition forces launched a fierce offensive.
The Knights of Victoria were dispatched directly, with the elite troops of the Duchy of Florence and the 36th Heavy Infantry Column assisting, and in just one offensive, the gates of the Iron Horse were broken.
Admiral Mars, who came from the Kingdom of Victoria, rode across the city gate, looked at the flagpole that had been cut off, and the banner of the White Wolf Legion, which had been trampled beyond recognition by war horses and footprints, and said contemptuously: "The so-called White Wolf Legion is nothing more than that. ”
Next to him was the commander of the thirty-sixth column, a colonel of the Duchy of Florence. He complimented, "Yes, but that's it, under the blade of your Victorian Knights, no legion can stop it." ”
His words were full of sycophants, but at the same time, they also represented some of the true thoughts of the Florentine colonel.
After witnessing the battle of the Victorian Knights, he was indeed full of admiration, even fear, for this army. Before, those white wolf guards guarding the city on the opposite side were obviously elite troops, at least no worse than their own subordinates. However, an entire wing of White Wolf Guards, assisted by almost an equal number of crossbowmen, could not withstand the charge of the Victorian Knights.
These powerful knights, galloping on horseback, smashed the white wolf guards lined up in front of the Iron Horse Grip City Gate with a single round of impact!
His 36th Column was of little use in battle, except for the fact that after the Knights of Victoria had crushed the White Wolf Guards on the opposite side, his soldiers pushed siege engines and smashed the gates of the Iron Horse's Grip, leaving only some work to clean up the battlefield.
In the past, with the temperament of these proud soldiers and fierce generals of the 36th Column, letting them do things to clean up the battlefield would definitely turn the world upside down. This time, however, they had no complaints.
Almost every soldier was shocked by the heroism of the Victorian Knights, and even felt that it might be an honor to be able to fight side by side with such a force and clean up the battlefield for them.
The news of the breach of the gates of the Iron Horse's grip soon reached the headquarters of the coalition forces. The Earl of Sade was relieved to learn that Admiral Mars had led his troops into the city and had begun to purge the city of the Hindlaires at great speed.
"Victorians do have the ability." Count Sade said to the people around him.
"Yes." The other high-ranking officer of the coalition army, Count Sneijder from the Kingdom of Pudri, replied, "Compared to the commander of our vanguard before, Admiral Mars and his army are indeed very strong. ”
There is some sarcasm in this remark. The so-called former vanguard is the army that was defeated by Cindelare's General Sacco. The commander of that unit was a close confidant of THAAD. As a result, not to mention the defeat, the commander also ran away as a deserter.
Sneijder was very unhappy that half of the Silver and White Knights in his hands were lost in the hands of such an incompetent person. This has a chance, of course, to sarcastically say a few words about Sade.
Earl Sade also knew what Snead was thinking, and it was certainly an unpleasant thing to be ridiculed, but he couldn't say anything. After all, in this matter, it is your own people who have gone wrong, and it is difficult to escape the blame, and the argument of words is not only meaningless, but also has no possibility of victory.
He could only shift the topic to business: "It's time for the whole army to attack, we have to try to hold the grip of the iron horse in our hands before dark, and then we can have a good night's rest." Come to think of it, after the encirclement of the Hindlaire people was completely broken by us, there was no way for them to re-encircle it in a short period of time, right? We can set off again tomorrow morning, and return to the City of Bauhinia with full spirit, and then think about the next strategic move. ”
Sneijder has no other opinion on this.
Soon, the coalition forces were moving. Tens of thousands of people began to advance towards the grip of the iron horse, and all the troops that entered the town were temporarily placed under the unified command of Admiral Mars, and began to wipe out the Hindlaires in the city as quickly as possible.
The process went very smoothly and there were no surprises. The will of the Hindlaire people to resist did not seem to be very strong, and they were not able to cause much trouble to the attacking coalition forces at all.
After the sky was completely dark, the battle situation in the town was basically clear. Sporadic resistance remained, but the Sindelaretes had completely lost control of the city.
The process went smoothly and even a little bit unusually.
Neither Count Sade, nor Count Sneijder, nor Admiral Mars in the city were too suspicious. Although the enemy's resistance was much weaker than expected, the Knights of Victoria could actually be attributed to this incident. This powerful knight order does have good combat power. There seems nothing surprising that the battle led by them has become a little lighter.
But this kind of relaxed mentality is exactly what Pehince wants.
At this moment, this elven ranger general is ten kilometers outside the Iron Horse Grip City. She said to Sacco next to her: "It's hard for you to take the White Wolf Legion to perform such a scene. ”
Sacco grinned: "It's not hard, it's not hard, things are going according to the plan step by step." It's already night, and the soldiers of the coalition are slowly entering the city, and the men we are stationed in the Iron Horse Grip are basically scattered, and the 'big meal' operation should be officially started, right? ”
"Of course!" Pexins smiled, "Our reinforcements should be coming soon, right?" ”
After that, the eyes of the two looked at the grip of the iron horse together.
The two Hindlaire generals did not make them wait for a long time, and a grand 'firework' that they had been waiting for a long time officially began, ten minutes after they ended their discussion.
It was fire, a fire in the sky, a green fire!
Above the sky, green flames descended and sprayed towards the coalition soldiers who were entering the city at the city gate.
Seven thick green flames, with just one shot, almost melted the iron horse's grasp, which was not very strong! It was just a few moments later that this place became a place that could be called hell!
Everywhere there were wailing and screaming soldiers, and everywhere there were pus and fragments of burned bones.
That's the Green Dragon's Corrosive Flame Dragon's Breath!
This kind of dragon breath not only has extremely high temperatures, but also has a very strong corrosive ability. If you are sprayed by the dragon's breath, of course, you will definitely die. Even if it is just rubbed off, the extremely strong corrosive force will still invade the human body without reservation, melting the flesh and blood together with the bone marrow, melting beyond recognition.
No one in the coalition expected such a blow!
Count Sade, who had just entered the city, was a narrow escape. He looked behind him, looked at this tragic scene, and exclaimed loudly, "This is dragon breath? Aren't these dragons supposed to be at sea? How the hell did they come about? Why haven't we received any information about this before? ”
No one could answer his question, and everyone around him was frightened by this tragic scene.
After a moment, one of his staff members spoke tremblingly, "Lord Earl, Count Sneijder...... It doesn't seem to have entered the city yet. ”
Sade's face became even more gloomy. Of course, he knew this, and it was at his request that Earl Sneijder was responsible for organizing the subsequent soldiers to enter the city at the city gate. Looking at such a tragic picture, it is estimated that the Earl from Pudri is probably more than lucky.
Snead is a fairly authoritative general in the Kingdom of Pudri, and his own earl title is also very noble, and he is a great nobleman with real power and a high status. Such a person died in the Duchy of Florence, and he had to personally bear part of the responsibility, and the trouble in the future would probably not be small.
But where can he take care of all of this now?
Looking at the green dragon's breath, spreading step by step towards his position, Sade's main thought at the moment was how to save his life!
He had no choice but to flee backwards.
But, how can a man run as fast as a dragon flies in the sky?
Of course, the war horse that Saad rode under his crotch was a very fine breed, and the price was very high, both in endurance and speed, it was very outstanding. However, even if it is, it can't be compared to the dragon. What's more, on the roads within the town, it is not suitable for the war horses to gallop at full speed, not to mention, in the current chaotic situation, the soldiers are in chaos, and there are panicked soldiers everywhere, running around like headless flies.
THAAD had no intention of reining in the panicked coalition soldiers. Normally, he would not tolerate his army being so undisciplined and unorganized, but now...... The dragons flying in the sky above the Holy Lord had apparently made up their minds to burn from the gates, along the streets, to the city where the Iron Horse was in the grip of the Iron Horse. And Thad's position is right on the road where the dragon's breath spreads.
Gather the troops? That's going to take time! Moreover, if the troops haven't been able to gather well, the dragon's breath will catch up!
If it weren't for the fact that those dragons in the sky didn't know that the commander-in-chief of the coalition was under their mouths, otherwise, if they found the right target to concentrate their vomiting, this Saad would definitely not be able to save his life.
His luck is not bad now, he has not been touched by the deadly dragon flame. But in just a few minutes, there was already a sea of green fire all around him.
There is no escape.
In the end, the veteran of the battlefield in his fifties and almost sixty years old still could not escape from the flames. When he was forced into a building by the spreading dragon's breath, he could only watch as the green flames spread from the windows and through the walls, and finally turned to ashes in a terrible scream.
And at the time of his death, the Coalition soldiers in the Iron Horse's grip didn't even know that they had lost their own supreme commander.
In fact, even if the Supreme Commander is still there, so what? When the seven-headed dragon in the sky gradually dispersed and set fire to the city, the coalition forces entering the city were completely chaotic.
They completely lost their unified command and fled in all directions in the midst of fire. But the soldiers, caught in the chaos, soon found themselves desperate to find that no matter where they ran, they would always be caught up by the flames, or simply run into a dead end.
Everything is messed up, everything is over.
At this moment, the heart of Admiral Mars, the only remaining high-ranking general of the coalition forces in the city, has become cold. He had only one thought in his mind now: the Hindlaire people's ability to create fighter planes was too strong.
If he hadn't understood it now, he would really be sorry for the rank of general on his shoulders.
Obviously, this is a trap.
The Schindlaires seem to be heavily armed in the grip of the Iron Horse, but that is a complete illusion. They used the elite name of the White Wolf Legion to make it look like they wanted to run the Iron Horse Grip into an iron bucket array and the last chain to operate it into an encirclement, but in fact, there was not much power invested in this city at all!
And when he led the elite of the coalition army, defeated the defenders of the city gate, entered the city, and drove the Sindelares out of the grip of the iron horse, it was also a complete drama.
It wasn't so much that he drove his opponents out, but that they relinquished control of the town.
And in the end, their purpose is for this grand fireworks. Locking up fifty or sixty thousand allied troops in this city and playing an unprecedented feast of human flesh barbecue, I have to say that the plan of the Hindlaire people is really vicious, and the foreshadowing and temptation made before are also good enough.
It's ridiculous, he thought that Hindlaire's elite army was in vain, and in fact it was not vulnerable at all. But now it seems that he is the one who is stupid.
How many people were actually burned to death by Dragon's Breath? Judging from Mars's many years of experience in warfare, there are actually not too many. It is true that the situation at the city gate is more tragic, but that is because the coalition forces already felt that there was no threat in the surrounding area at that time, and they were in a hurry to enter the city, so the troops were assembled very closely. In the process of queuing to enter the city, they were hit intensively by the dragon's breath, and suffered heavy losses, and thousands of people died in the sea of fire under the attack of the dragon's breath in just one or two rounds.
However, when the attack at the city gate was over, and the dragons scattered their targets throughout the city, the coverage of the flames was far less dense than expected.
