Chapter 158: Attack on the Palace (3rd Update)
After a little arrangement, Locke asked them to prepare, after all, it was only noon, and they could still take down the Holman Palace in time today!
In fact, the most important thing is that Locke wants to make them cannon fodder and try Holder's reaction. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Holder does not have many troops now, the entire Holman Palace only has less than 10,000 troops.
But Holder now has a lot of elite troops, and these 10,000 people can't be underestimated, just the combatants, Locke estimates that there must be thousands.
Such 10,000 people, if they destroy a legion in a street battle, it is not a big problem!
So they can't be careless, otherwise, it will have to pay a lot of price!
The generals of all the forces had now gone back to prepare, and it wasn't long before a large number of soldiers were concentrated on the periphery of the Holman Palace.
And Locke was not idle, this battle was supposed to be a battle between him and Holder.
He is the protagonist!
The Senna army still maintains that formation, with the armored troops in front and the rangers in the back, this set of lineups is almost incomprehensible in this era of backward weapons and equipment!
"Attack!"
Seeing that the troops of various forces were already in place, Locke did not hesitate, and directly learned the posture of Napoleon riding a war horse and made an offensive posture towards the Holman Palace!
After receiving the order to attack Locke, the soldiers of their coalition army also entered from all directions of the Holman Palace, and as long as anyone dared to resist, they would not hesitate to kill them!
"General Sabeth, are we together?"
Seeing that the soldiers of each unit had already been killed inside, Locke also smiled and said to Sabeth.
The Northern Legion is now on their side, and will join them in attacking Holman Palace from this direction.
It would be better if they could charge in front as cannon fodder meat shields, so that the Senna army could give full play to the advantages of their weapons and equipment, and also be able to ensure their own safety.
"I can't ask for it!"
The Northern Army cooperated with the Senna Army, which was also very good for them, as soon as the enemy appeared in the Senna Army's sight, the Senna Army would attack the enemy, which would also reduce their casualties.
The best of both worlds, Sabeth has no reason to refuse, besides, he has always wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Locke, and now at this time, it is a perfect opportunity!
"Okay, then let's fight according to the advantages of our respective troops, you know, because of our weapons and equipment, we are more suitable to stand behind, but we can provide you with a layer of shields in front!"
This lineup of the Senna army is actually far and near, the armored forces are too strong in defense, and the enemy is helpless at all, so the armored forces can rush in front, and the rangers have super attack power, but weak defense, so they can be in the back.
This is also the basic point of Locke's lineup and tactics!
But after a few battles, they also discovered a problem, each time, as long as the enemy had cavalry, they had to be careful, because once the enemy had broken through the armored line, then they could then charge the Rangers.
These few times, the Senna army is in danger, if it weren't for the fact that their weapons and equipment are much stronger than the enemy, they probably would have hung up a long time ago.
And that 30,000 Holman cavalry charged fearlessly, and finally caused the death of 2,000 rangers, that time was a deep sting in Locke's heart, and he wanted to change this situation!
There's no time to change it yet, but they still have to take the Holman Palace, so Locke went to Sabeth, and they just take what they need anyway!
After Sabeth agreed, Locke immediately let the armored troops rush to the front, and behind the armored troops were the soldiers of Sabeth's Northern Army, and at the rear, the rangers of the Senna Army!
Such a formation can guarantee that even if the enemy breaks through the armored line, he will not be able to attack the Senna Army Rangers, because there are countless Northern Army soldiers in between!
With the fire suppression of the Senna rangers behind, it would be even more difficult for the Holman army to break through the defense line of the Northern Army!
Everything was laid out, and Locke and their way also began to attack the Holman Palace!
Since it was the armored troops who opened the way, and Locke didn't want to damage the palace too much, he ordered the armored troops to follow the road as much as possible and not destroy those buildings at will!
The Senna Army and the Northern Army marched very smoothly all the way!
It's not just Locke, it's basically the other three roads that are in a similar situation to them.
Now Holder has basically no strength to resist their attack, and he still has the little strength he has......
In the back garden of Holman Palace, Holder was leisurely drinking tea with his most important Huberner, completely ignoring the development of the war outside!
"How's the little emperor?" Hall asked Hubernard in a soft voice.
"It's in the secret passage, Ciel, they're watching!" Hubertard took a gentle sip of the lightly scented tea.
"Well, if we lose later, let's just let Hill and them escort the little emperor out, at least do this, Hill can win a reputation for protecting His Majesty, so that he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life!"
Holder's tone was full of vicissitudes, in fact, he had come to this point, and he already knew what his ending would be!
No anger, no confusion, everything feels normal!
He won't be like those people, if he fails, he will be hysterical, he can afford to lose, in this life, he has experienced everything he should have experienced, except that he was not able to really get to that position, which made him a little regretful, he felt that this life, to such a degree as now, has been completed!
Hubernard sighed softly, he knew Holder very well, he was not as heinous as people said, many times people said that he was a traitor, but in fact, he was just from a different angle.
This is an era of cannibalism, and in the face of competition from colleagues, if you can't seize more power, then you will be eaten by others, and Holder is just blindly pursuing victory.
Just like those traitors in many dynasties in ancient times, in fact, they are not really that bad, but they are in a position that makes them have to do this, as they said, if they were someone else, they might make the same choice as them.
Another example is the era before Locke, there were countless corrupt officials, but it cannot be said that those corrupt officials were all heinous, some people received gifts for a lifetime, and when he left office, he took out countless gifts from his own home and handed them over to the state.
Others give gifts, he accepts, but many times, he just wants to do more things for the people, just imagine, if he doesn't accept it, then there will be other people who will accept it, maybe the result of the matter will be worse, and everyone else has to accept it, you don't accept it, over time, you will be excluded, want to do things for the people, that is also very difficult!
PS: The author is not whitewashing some corrupt officials, just say the point of view, don't spray! It's just that I suddenly thought of the retired official who took out countless things from others from his family!
In Hubernard's mind, Holder was that kind of person, and if he didn't do that, then he wouldn't survive!
Although Holder is shouted and beaten by everyone now, in his heart, he admires him, because Hill is the son of Hubertard!
