Chapter 115: Confusing
The brilliance of the magic crystal cannon slowly dimmed, and the energy of this round of attacks was finally exhausted. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this moment, a whole layer of the tragic death of the Imperial soldiers on the beach in front of them was spread, and some of the corpses were washed into the sea. As the waves rose and fell, the impact made a strange noise on the armor below, and this was their only chance to get their hands on the ship.
Most of the 1,000 Imperial cavalry attacking the Glory were killed in this round of attacks.
Among the remaining hundreds, countless others were wounded.
According to preliminary estimates, there are less than 100 remaining combat-ready personnel.
At this moment, looking at the deck of the battleship, a large group of men with tigers on their backs were carrying swords and looking eager to try, as if they were eager to rush down and kill immediately.
Even though the Imperial Army was not afraid of life and death, it still lost confidence in victory in the face of such losses.
With more than 100 of them, it seems that there is no hope of taking this battleship, and if the risk attack fails, the main force of the army, which cannot know the situation of the battle, does not know what to lose in the face of such a killing weapon.
Intelligence, the most important thing at the moment is to send the information back.
At that moment, dozens of Imperial troops who still had the ability to move rushed towards the sea with sabers.
It was an entirely suicidal attack, with the aim of covering the rest of the population to flee back.
It's just that their sacrifice is worthless, and Lin Feng has no intention of stopping those people from escaping.
The information soon came back, and George. Will heard about the situation on the front line, but he couldn't believe it.
Ionia's naval home port is in Naville, and its fleet has been wiped out by the Imperial Navy, and there is no news of any warships escaping. What's more, there is the Sea of Death on the eastern coast, and it is really unbelievable that a warship will appear in this area inexplicably.
And at this moment, his own soldiers actually told themselves that a thousand of them had been routed by a mere battleship.
How can it be?
Even if it was a magic energy warship, when did the power of the magic crystal cannon reach such a terrifying level?
Magical technology was developed by Madame Piltworth, although the empire was under a strict technological blockade. But the intelligence department is not vegetarian either, and the Empire is not only aware of the latest level of magic technology of the Picheng people, but also has a tendency to surpass the relevant technological breakthroughs in the secret scientific research institutions that cooperate with the Zuans.
As a senior military officer, George. Will's sanity made him reluctant to believe that there would be a technological product that was ahead of his time. However, the cruel truth made him have to believe it, and then he began to think about which side the battleship belonged to.
Leather City?
Does Picheng really have such a black technology? Do they really have the guts to join this war?
If this is really the case, Picheng is simply a hegemon-level existence on the mainland, how can it survive in the gap between the empire and Zu'an.
No!
Facts are contrary to reason, and it is difficult to make a choice after repeated hesitation.
Eventually George. Will was unwilling to accept defeat and still wanted to give it another try.
Just as he was about to give the order to send another force to attack in the direction of the coast, something else suddenly occurred to him.
Although their 1,000 cavalry were wiped out, they attacked the coast. There was only one battleship there, so where did the main forces of the resistance, which were supposed to be trapped there, go?
General George immediately remembered the previous artillery attack, and his troops stationed on both sides of the valley should have suffered considerable casualties, and the remaining forces were not enough to hold back the rebels.
Only then did he wake up from a dream.
The net laid against the rebels had already been torn apart by the rumble of the cannons, and the rebels would still be waiting to die inside.
They have already fled.
Wrong.
They should have indeed broken out of the encirclement, but they probably didn't have to flee.
In June, it was a whole month of calm. In early July, the rebels made a sudden move, attracting a large army in pursuit. After that, he touched and left, and unusually chose the direction of escape, until he reached the Longchuan area, and then trapped himself in a cage.
George recalls a series of strange behaviors of the rebels, and once again smells of conspiracy.
He also thought it was a conspiracy before, but there was nothing to be afraid of measuring the absolute difference in strength between the two sides. But at this point, he finally began to worry.
George lowered his banner and turned, stunned in the direction of the valley exit.
After a while, a puff of smoke and dust came quickly.
The sound of horses' hooves became more and more urgent, and the smoke and dust came to his face, and he did not see who was coming. The man on the horse was already kneeling on the ground, and said in a sad voice: "General Hui, something is wrong. ”
The man was covered in blood and didn't dare to raise his head, but just gasped: "In the early morning, our army was attacked by unknown fire and suffered heavy damage. Then...... Then the main force of the rebels broke through. Our...... Unable to resist. They ......"
George raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with them, quickly pick up the important ones." ”
The man looked more and more frightened, and his voice trembled: "The main force of the rebels has crushed our army, and they have not fled in all directions. But...... It has already pursued our army, and it seems that it ...... It is to block the exit and counter the main force of our army...... Surrounded by this. ”
"Sure enough......"
George sighed in his heart, and seeing that the officer had only rushed back with two of his own soldiers, he immediately asked, "How many troops do you have left, but you retreated to the exit of the valley to hold on?" ”
"Less than three hundred, yes...... Yes, it is being held at the exit. The officer replied.
"Good." George thought about it, and immediately ordered the army to turn around, and at the same time sent a quick mobile force to rush to the direction of the exit of the valley.
At this moment, the light cavalry in the Imperial Army was depleted. The heavy iron armor of the heavy cavalry's horses was immediately removed, and a group of pikemen and archers changed their sabers and rode away.
After about ten minutes, the unit finally arrived on the battlefield.
At the exit of the valley, the small remnants of the Imperial army responsible for holding on have been routed. A large number of rebels are busy and are laying various blockades.
The scimitar stabbed the horse's ass hard, and the frenzied horse rushed forward with a wail.
The Imperial soldiers on the horse had red eyes, and their actions were the dying throes of the trapped beasts, which decided the fate of the entire Imperial Army in the Battle of Longchuan.
This crazy and fierce momentum seemed to frighten the rebels in front. They scattered in both directions, and the exit that represented the hope of survival was finally empty.
Rush!
The horse's hooves were raised high and they plunged into the soft earth.
Rumble.
With a loud bang, the smoke and dust raised by the horses' hooves were swept away by the sudden explosion of air, and a mushroom cloud rose in the river valley.
Boom, boom......
The loud noise did not stop, and the air waves raged and impacted.
Everything is hidden in billowing smoke.
It wasn't until the mournful howls of their companions were heard in front that the Imperial troops behind realized what had happened.
The rebels not only blocked the exit to the valley, but also planted a minefield.
Landmines are the most effective new technological weapon in army operations other than artillery, and they are powerful enough to pose a serious threat to all arms except heavy armor.
As the explosions rang out, the Imperial Army's lightly armed force failed in its attempt to seize the exit of the valley.
The explosion was undoubtedly a signal that the Imperial Army and the Resistance Army had reversed the offensive and defensive momentum in the Battle of Longcheon.
The rebels who were pursued and besieged made tactical maneuvers according to the predetermined plan, and finally formed a counter-encirclement in a large circle, while the Imperial army in the river valley became a caged beast.
But this trapped beast is still strong, the main force of the imperial army is still there, and the gap in strength between the two sides has not been reversed with the situation.
The final outcome of this battle became confusing.
