Chapter 310: Crushing Battle
The gates were shut, and there was silence.
The city of Silver Pines, which had been bustling, instantly quieted down, and when Vega displayed 20,000 troops in front of the city gates, even if it did not attack, it was enough to make the army defending the city fearful.
On the castle tower.
The regiment commander, Menno, did not even dare to breathe.
As the commander of the reinforced regiment, the commander of the kingdom in the city of Silver Pines, he never imagined that one day he would have to face a siege of half a legion, up to tens of thousands of people, such a war was not at all on an order of magnitude.
You need to know that this is the safest central hinterland.
Moreover, the city of silver pine is not a strategic city, even if it is captured, it will not make any sense, which is why he was sent here as a typical example of incompetence to "retire".
He himself was not disgusted by this matter.
He is not a soldier who aspires to become a general, let alone an officer who regards the battlefield as his final destination, he is just a middle-level officer who is afraid of death and hopes to survive until the end of the war.
Is this wrong?
Is there something wrong!
Why did Heaven treat him like this?
Is it really that hard to survive?
Menno, the commander of the regiment, leaned weakly against the edge of the city wall, his slightly blessed body curled up in the shadows, and if he did not have to maintain the majesty of a middle-ranking officer, he would probably cry out loud.
"Commander, what should we do next?"
A battalion commander hurriedly came over and asked: "The enemy's high-level armed forces have moved forward, there are about 700 professionals and two mage squadrons of about 80 elemental mages, and our logistics warehouse has also been lost, please give an order quickly." ”
Keep your head up.
Mennonite glanced at the battalion commander: "Give the order to surrender." ”
The simple and crude order came from Mennon's mouth, which directly made the battalion commander speechless for a long time.
"Commander, you're not kidding, are you?"
The battalion commander was a little angry on his face, and this kind of thing is simply an insult to a soldier's minimum professional ethics.
But Mennonite obviously does not have this kind of professional ethics, he stared at each other with a pair of bloodshot eyes: "Brave is worthy of praise, but you are not brave, you are pedantic!"
"Please tell me. ”
Mennonite grabbed the battalion commander's collar: "How are you going to fight this war, what way are you going to fight, surrounded by tens of thousands of soldiers, even if it is a breakthrough, it is a fantasy, and now you actually tell me that you want to fight a city defense war?"
That's right, Mennonite didn't want to die yet.
So is there any other way now than to surrender?
To hell with glory, dignity, and so on.
He is not a person who will gamble his life for a few words of patriotism.
Therefore, he did not hesitate to give the order: "The order is to go down, the whole army to lay down their arms and surrender, and no one is allowed to put up any resistance, if they provoke the enemy, so let them find an excuse to kill, I will not let him go even if he dies." ”
Looking at the battalion commander intentionally or unintentionally, it was self-evident who Menno was talking about.
"I see, Captain. ”
The battalion commander chose to obey the order, because he also understood that there was no point in continuing this war, and the only two options now were either to surrender to the enemy army on the charge of humiliation, or to die a heroic death in this war.
Life is more important than heroic.
Therefore, after a few minutes, a white flag was raised over the tower, which was a sign of surrender, and if Vega was willing to accept it, he could send an envoy to the gate alone to give an answer.
If you don't agree, you can go straight to the attack.
Will Vega agree?
Vega, who was in the binoculars, laughed, he hadn't fought this kind of crushing game for too long, and the feeling of holding the fate of the enemy in the palm of his hand was so wonderful, Vega was deeply intoxicated.
"General, do you want to agree to their surrender?"
Adjutant Ilo looked at the white flag on the other side of the city and asked, although he didn't need to ask at this time and knew that he would generally accept surrender, but as an adjutant, he didn't dare to overstep his bounds.
"Agreed?"
"Of course not!"
Vega's answer surprised Iroh: "We need more victories to stabilize the morale of the army, just one break out battle is not enough, let the magicians blow up their white flags, and at the same time the war airship rises into the air." Ordered the whole army to attack, so that the enemy could feel what real despair is. ”
"General, this kind of order...... I'm afraid it's not good in international opinion. ”
"Public opinion?"
Vega waved his hand casually: "I don't have extra food to feed the enemy army, and the kingdom army tore up the armistice agreement first, in this case, the so-called public opinion is just a joke." ”
"Yes, General. ”
As the order was given, the fire elemental mage first blew up the white flag with a fireball, kicking off the prelude to this crushing battle.
When the enemy fills the city gates with ordinary troops.
The pros of the Vega forces are charging forward, while the enemy is holding ordinary weapons in a delusional attempt to pierce the defenses of the pros and magicians?
When the enemy uses arrows as a tool to defend the city.
The Empire's war airships have bombed the towers back and forth three times.
Blood is flowing, despair is spreading.
"It's not war at all. ”
Adjutant Ilo couldn't help but murmur when he looked at Vega, who was smiling from beginning to end in front of him, and his eyes were full of joy. In his opinion, this was not a war at all, but a massacre.
But it has to be admitted.
In this massacre, the cohesion of the entire army became stronger and stronger, and in the charge into battle, there was actually a situation where the front and back were hugging, for fear that they would not be able to kill the enemy, if they were allowed to continue to win, this was definitely an invincible division.
The more he worked with Vega, the more Ilo discovered that Vega was simply an existence born for war.
Annihilation, Blitzkrieg, Blockade, Siege, Beheading, City Defense, Encirclement, Breakthrough......
In the forest, on the plain, in the city, in the canyon, on the banks of the river......
No matter what kind of war, there seems to be no type that he can't control, and what is even more terrifying is that this is still a terrible officer who is good at using every opportunity to cultivate the combat power of soldiers. The combat effectiveness of the troops under his hands is no longer the same.
Perhaps, the kingdom made one of its greatest mistakes. ”
This thought couldn't help but appear in Ilo's mind, if the kingdom had ordered the war airship to destroy the blocking force instead of attacking the royal legions of the dynasty crossing the river, I am afraid that Vega would have already given an account there.
But where in the world are there so many accidents.
Now Ilo just wants to follow Vega and witness the birth of a legend that belongs to Vega alone.
Yes.
At this moment, Iloh believed in Vega immensely.
He believed that it would be absolutely impossible for the kingdom's troops in the east to stop Vega's footsteps, and if they forcibly stopped it, it would definitely be the kingdom's army that would regret it in the end.
Call him ignorant or arrogant.
But Iloh was convinced of it.
