Chapter 431: Spit out exponentially
Sixty sleigh carts, each pulled by sixteen shepherd dogs, each sled were carried by ten warriors of the Heroic Wizard Regiment, accompanied by Higg, Lufasi, Noah who provided the sleigh, and Zaire, a guard, and twenty Naga.
Shepherd dog sled cart, more suitable than horses or deer, in addition to good endurance, the biggest advantage is that this creature is omnivorous, basically what people eat, they eat, do not need to deliberately bring a lot of forage, especially meat and other food, can provide a lot of calories to the sheepdog, not at all like forage so no nutritional calories, need to consume a lot to achieve the effect. Especially in the snowy region of the Alchemy Country, meat is easier to obtain than forage, and it is cheaper, so this special shepherd dog has been improved and called a sled dog by the people of the Alchemy Country. In addition, the loyalty of dogs is also an important reason why people finally choose this creature as their companion.
As Modolic said that it would take five days to arrive at the earliest, Higg assembled the sled convoy on the southeast coast of Atlanta, and ordered Zaire to immediately collect small sails, and then went directly to the Chinese military camp tent set up by Cagliano outside Atlanta.
"Commander-in-Chief!" The anxious Cariano saw Higg and hurriedly said, "There are about 50,000 soldiers in the city who have landed in the city, plus the enemy's navy has been stationed in the port three days ago, and now there are at least 100,000 troops in the entire city of Atlanta!" β
Higg walked over to the map and checked the city of Atlanta's defenses. It is a city built on the port, similar to the port of Zhan Xini, with a wall on the land side and a port on the seaside side! This is the characteristic of most harbor cities, the difference is that in the winter of the Alchemy Country, there are almost no ice-free ports, most ports will have three months of ice on the sea, and the enemy can attack the city with land forces from the sea, so every winter season, an ice wall will be built on the side close to the port, but it is already early summer, and the ice wall has long been dissolved, so the enemy can land and land through the port and directly enter the city of Atlanta.
"Marshal Cariano, how many troops have you deployed outside the city?" Higg asked.
"In a hurry, 120,000 men were assembled from everywhere, but there were still many troops on the way!" "There are 100,000 men in the city, but half of the navy, so we have enough strength to take the city!" β
"What's the point of taking the city?" Higg said, "Their 50,000 people landed for battle, and there was no follow-up army reinforcement, which means that they don't want to launch a full-scale ground war against the Alchemy Country, but just want to give the Alchemy Country a deterrent, and by the way, plunder Atlanta City and get supplies, otherwise, it will not only be the landing of these 50,000 army forces!" β
"No point?" Cariano asked in surprise, "Let the enemy's warships be resupplied and let them calmly occupy the harbor to repair the warships?" Then pat your ass and leave, do you want to complete your trip to the Alchemy Country? Ben Shuai is not incapable of attacking the city, our 120,000 against 50,000 defenders, Ben Shuai has the ability to take it in one day, why does the commander-in-chief have to wait for so many days! β
"Even if you attack the city of Atlanta for an hour, the entire city has already been occupied by the enemy!" Higg sneered, "This commander doesn't care about your dereliction of duty first, but this commander wants to tell you that since the enemy has been resupplied and you are attacking the city with all your might, the enemy will gather in the port to board the ship when he sees that he can't support it, and we don't have a navy, so should we let the army go to the sea to pursue them?" The losses have been done, so what's the point of retaking a city of Atlanta that has been drained by the enemy? A quilt that has been soaked for ten days is wet, and a quilt that has been soaked for an hour is also wet, no difference! Cariano, if he has the ability, let the Dragon Island spit out the things they ate in Atlanta City exponentially, which is called ability! β
"Spit it out exponentially?" Cariano was taken aback and said, "How is that possible?" The city of Atlanta had been burned and plundered by the enemy for several days, and most of the things had already been loaded onto the ship, how could it be spit out again? The reason why Ben Shuai wanted to attack the city as soon as possible was to disrupt their looting and let the citizens of Atlanta suffer less calamity. β
"Marshal Cariano, you lost the city of Atlanta, you deserve to be punished by the military, this commander gives you the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, this commander will not only severely damage the enemy ship again, but also annihilate the 50,000 people in the city, this is the price of their occupation of Atlanta City, is this considered to make them vomit out exponentially?" Higg said, "Lord Marshal, if you can cooperate with me in this matter, this commander will allow you to offset your merits and demerits, and will not pursue your loss of the city!" β
"Hey, Commander-in-Chief!" Cariano said with a smile, "I am not only a field marshal, but also the second prince of the dignified Alchemy Country, if I can really do what you said, destroy these 50,000 bandits for my Alchemy Country, and then severely damage the enemy ships, this prince does not need to be exonerated by the commander-in-chief, any military law, this prince is willing to accept it!" β
"Okay, the second prince is really responsible!" Higg smiled, "Then we will say that this commander will not kill your head, if you can achieve the effect as this commander said, His Royal Highness the prince will receive a hundred military sticks by himself, and if this commander cannot achieve the goal, he will also voluntarily receive a hundred military sticks, how about it?" The commander believes that the prince will not do something that he can't do because he is afraid of being punished! β
"That's all!" Cariano laughed and said, "Commander-in-chief, rest assured, for the sake of the Alchemy Country, this commander will never snub the military aircraft!" β
"Okay, without further ado, we'll act in the middle of the night tonight!" Higg said, "Gather all the officers at once, and have a military meeting!" β
β¦β¦
Beginning at midnight, the 120,000-strong army outside the city of Atlanta began to attack the three gates of the city of Atlanta, regardless of priority.
The 50,000 troops of Shenlong Island, who defended the city, fought hard to defend the city in order to repair the ships for their fleet and buy time to complete the supply, without fear. Although they knew that the city would fall sooner or later, they could hold on for a while, they really couldn't hold on, they could fight and retreat at any time, board the ship and leave the port, anyway, the current sea area of the Alchemy Country belonged to them, so the side of Shenlong Island, which had a way out, calmly faced the battle, intending to delay time.
More than ten kilometers of coast southeast of Atlanta City, this is the place where the Heroic Magicians gathered, a hundred small sails were pushed down the sea from the land, more than 500 Heroic Magicians soldiers, as well as twenty Naga led by Zaire, with 400 naval sailors, all boarded the ship, and then sailed along the coast with full sails, heading to the northeast of Atlanta Harbor, all of them were dressed in night clothes, all the sails were painted black, and the connection between the fleets was all controlled by experienced sailors.
The enemy's attention has been completely attracted by the siege force of Cariano, but the port of Atlanta is still lit up with the same name, many sailors are carrying supplies to the battleships, many battleships are parked in the dockyard for repairs, and the warships that are intact, because the warships of the Alchemy Kingdom are basically lost, they do not seem to be too prepared for the enemy to sneak attack from the sea, most of the soldiers and sailors are busy resting or carrying supplies.
A hundred small sails rushed into the harbor at a rapid pace, weaving through the numerous enemy ships, until they came close to the enemy's lookouts who spotted the uninvited guests.
"Woo-woo-"
"Enemy attackβ"
Suddenly the whole harbor sounded with the sound of rapid trumpets and shouts tearing through the night sky, and the whole night sky was lit up by signal flares......
Higg divided the Hero Magician Regiment into three routes, one route led by Weeks led 200 Hero Magic Warriors directly to seize the east gate of Atlanta City, the other route led by Lu Fasi, 200 Hero Magic Warriors and all 400 sailors, boarded the ship to fight, and the last route led by himself, more than 100 Hero Magic Warriors, plus Zaire's Naga Legion, launched an attack on the enemy on the shore of the harbor to prevent the enemy from communicating with the enemy ships.
Many of the navy soldiers either went into the city to rest, or were carrying supplies on board, and when they were attacked at first glance, they did not know where the enemy was coming from, until they heard the sound of fierce fighting on the battleship and in the harbor, and all the navy soldiers panicked to find their warship.
Ropes with hooks hung from the battleship, and the first to board were the warriors of the Heroic Magician Regiment, who boarded the deck of the enemy battleship and began to quickly sweep the sailors and sailors from the deck. Then there are the sailors who board the ship, and immediately after boarding, they perform their duties, the anchor of the anchor, the sail of the sail, and the turn of the rudder. Twenty-five heroic magic warriors and fifty sailors work together to take control of a battleship, a total of eight ships are fully controlled, and then sail out of the harbor.
And the battle on the coast was the most intense, more than a hundred heroic magic warriors led by Hig were under great pressure, the enemy desperately counterattacked the harbor, dispatched all the naval forces that could be dispatched, including the lion scorpion and the minotaur, all appeared, Zaire also had to polish all the golden oil lamps, fifty lamp gods and twenty naga, and fight with the enemy's minotaur, the lion scorpion. And Higg and his heroic magic warriors are mainly responsible for cleaning up Poison Eye and Medusa.
The enemy was defenseless and in disarray, but it was outnumbered, and although Hig and Zaire struck first, they had a great advantage at first and created a lot of confusion, but after all, the number was too small and they were quickly suppressed. Seeing that the warships had already left the port, Higg led the team to fight and retreat, and was gradually forced to the corner where the east city wall meets the seaside, and there was no way out.
A strong lineup composed of more than 20 lion scorpions and more than 60 lion scorpions, and a lineup of more than 20 Naga warriors and 50 lamp god warriors in Zaire, although the lion scorpion and Naga are both sixth-level troops, but the sixth-level troops of the alchemy country Naga Queen is simply a direct second-kill existence to the lion scorpion, and the other party's more than sixty minotaurs can also kill fifty lamp gods in seconds, therefore, the two fifth-level and sixth-level troops on both sides dare not easily fight each other alone, and the lion scorpion relies on the thick skin and flesh of the minotaur to rush in front, He waits for the opportunity to poison or paralyze his opponent at any time, and the lamp god hides behind the Naga, constantly applying beneficial magic to the Naga and strengthening the Naga Queen's combat effectiveness. Although the fight was equal, as more and more other troops such as Poison Eye and Medusa joined the battle on Shenlong Island, Zaire gradually couldn't hold on, and retreated to the corner with Hig, fortunately, these are the navy, and shore combat is not his own strength, so he did not completely kill Higg's team in seconds, but it also made Hig suffer heavy losses, paying the price of dozens of heroic magic warriors and half of the Naga and Lantern God casualties.
Fortunately, the enemy's target was not all in Higg's army, and the mysterious departure of eight battleships forced them to focus on the battleship, and everything returned to their own battleship first.
