Chapter 315: The Turning Point of the War (3)
"Bang!"
Sama slapped the table in front of him so hard that he almost smashed the wooden table entirely, but even then, a crack opened near the place where his palm fell on his forehead.
"These brutes!" Sama roared, and the soldiers patrolling outside shrank in fright, not to mention Gillias's group in the barracks.
Sama's anger is not without reason, the battle at the Rorschach Pass, he has been greatly enraged, since the last night raid, Sama immediately issued a new order, in the following days, the Luo Ya army has strengthened the vigilance, the troops take turns on duty, and the number of sentries has also increased, but the attack of the Boer army has continued unabated. The sentries were all ordinary soldiers of the Luo Ya Army, and they could not detect the traces of the Boer Army's infiltration at all, so they could only give away their lives in vain. Sama had to take special precautions against this, and appointed the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard to urge the ordinary soldiers to be on duty together. This trick was very effective, their reaction was indeed quick, intercepting many Boer attacks, however, the Boer soldiers who rushed to the pass also held the belief that if they did not succeed, they would have become benevolent, and once they were discovered by the enemy, they would rather die with Luo Yajun than retreat. Often, when the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard commanded other ordinary soldiers to besiege them, they ignited the explosives packets and pounced on the vicinity of the encirclement, blowing them to pieces.
In just three days, Luo Yajun could not afford such casualties. Sama felt a little tingling in his scalp in the face of the statistics sent by Gilias, and he also deeply realized the tenacity of the enemy army. It was not for nothing that Amani was crouching in prison, and in these three short nights, the Boer army launched an attack on the sentries of the Luo Ya army, and they lost a total of seventeen people, while the Luo Ya army sacrificed forty-six. The Boer army sacrificed was of course the elite, and the Luo Yajun sacrificed was of course also the elite. is still the vanguard of the elite, and the existence on which Luo Yaling's safety depends. Sama brought more than half of the hundred Praetorian Guard soldiers in just a few days. Such a loss rate is unacceptable even to the lord who is far away in Loya City. Every time he saw these casualty figures, Sama's heart was bleeding like a knife. The soldiers of the Praetorian Guard are all elite, and if they are placed in ordinary troops, they are enough to become soldiers of the rank of captain. They were used at critical moments, not to die with the Boer army. Sama was even a little panicked in his heart, and Amani's experience was now likely to happen to him again. As a result, Sama had no choice but to re-order the removal of all these elite troops from the front line, leaving the ordinary garbage troops to stand guard.
As a result, the attacks of the Boer army were active again, and the ordinary sentinels could not show their traces at all, and they were repeatedly succeeded by sneak attacks. Sama concentrated all the soldiers of the Blood Praetorian Guard around him, and put all the garbage troops of the Huaixi Army on the periphery, obviously trying to use them as cannon fodder. This was very effective, although the Boer army came every night, and sometimes even several times a night, causing considerable losses to the Huaixi army. However, since the losses were all garbage troops, Sama was not worried, only Gillias was secretly angry, but there was nothing he could do.
However, in this helplessness, Luo Yajun summed up a lot of rules and tried to deal with the attack of the Boer army through these rules. However, the attacks of the Boer army were not carried out according to the law at all, they did everything they wanted, and attacked wherever they found the target to be more valuable, or it was purely to create chaos. After many soldiers lurked up, they did not determine the target, and they would choose the weakest position of Luo Yajun to attack according to their own judgment. One night, the Boer army successfully blew up the granary of the Huaixi army, leaving the Huaixi army in the grits pond stunned. Sama's original sharpness was also completely extinguished. I knew that the Boers were so tenacious and so difficult to deal with. Sama didn't dare to boast in front of the lord, but unfortunately it was too late to regret it now.
Sama was so helpless and furious at this despicable attack by the Boers that he ordered a wall to be built around the post in an attempt to prevent the enemy from entering. However, he had just shown signs of building a wall, and before even the bricks and stones were ready, the Boers approached the trebuchet from a distance, and bombarded the front of the pass, not giving Luo Yajun a chance to build a wall on the ruins of the pass. As a result, instead of being built, the wall was lost, but dozens of people were lost. In desperation, Sama had to give up the idea. As a result, the attacks of the Boer people remained unimpeded.
"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet?" Sama tore at the chicken leg in his hand fiercely, eager to vent all his anger on the innocent chicken leg.
What Sama didn't know was that Kagara's troops, who were already preparing to leave, were delayed again due to a sudden accident.
It's not so much a "sudden accident" , It's better to say that the Bol Collar had already planned it, as early as when Amani drove these unarmed refugees to the front line, Moses and Merial already had the idea of helping these refugees rebel, but when Roya Ling blocked the whole territory, it was not easy to get in, and the first civilian riot in Roa Ling was actually not done by these warriors who infiltrated, which is why Moses and Merial reacted so excitedly when Grave said about the riot.
The soldiers who had infiltrated the city took advantage of the guards to let their guard down and opened the prison with a key, and this time, the refugees were no longer bare-handed, and each of them had weapons in their hands. The soldiers of the Boer army even lit a fire in the city, and for a time the entire city of Loya became a pot of porridge.
Their escape route has also been planned, taking advantage of the chaos, let these refugees go all the way from the sewer where Ginny Ron and they touched the assassination of the lord's mansion, this sewer will eventually lead to the outside of the city, and of course, some soldiers, their job is much more dangerous, is to continue to find a way to cause chaos in the city.
This organized operation forced Kaghara and his troops preparing to attack the front line to start a search and hunt in the city of Loa, which also bought the Boers the most valuable time.
At this time, Merial and Moses were nervously waiting for Grave's alchemy potion to be refined. Since Grave announced that he was going to start refining medicine, Merial directly vacated his command post, and all soldiers were not allowed to enter the tent, during which only Grave offered to ask Moses to go in to help, and Moses only went in twice. Outside the tent, they could all smell the smell of potion wafting from the tent.
Waiting is undoubtedly an ordeal, especially for the soldiers on the front line, but everyone is waiting eagerly, and once this potion comes out, it means that they can really blow the horn of counterattack.
With the passage of time, the Boer army still rested during the day and moved at night. The actions of the attacks have not changed, but the methods have increased, except for the killing and wounding of Luo Yajun's personnel. Attacks also began on their vital parts, such as weapons depots, command posts, etc. This attack by the Boer army made Luo Yajun annoyed, but he was helpless. The Boers lurk in the darkness and are simply a group of ghosts, elusive. And with the arrival of winter in the Great Plains, many singing nights are moonless. What's even worse is that even if you catch the other party, the other party will not hesitate to die with you. The more people who go up the siege, the more they lose. So that later, even if Luo Yajun found the trace of the other party. Don't dare to press too hard, if this is pressed, the other party will rumble, and he will be finished, who wants to do such a stupid thing.
No one knows when the explosions will sound, no one knows when the Boers will deliver the explosives to their tents, and no one knows when this painful ordeal will end. During this time, Luo Yajun's nerves were particularly tense and fragile, and he felt like the end of the world at night, panicking all night, just looking forward to the early arrival of the morning. If you don't sleep well at night, you will naturally be listless during the day. This kind of attack made Luo Yajun not have the slightest sense of security, and the already low morale completely disappeared without a trace, and the original desertion phenomenon was even more intense at this time, and even more than 60 people ran away in one night. The attack of the Boers and the deserters within the Luo Ya army combined to drastically reduce the number of Luo Ya troops stationed at the Rorscha Pass.
But the Boer army didn't know all this, otherwise, it would be possible to counterattack by taking advantage of these deserters and the low morale of the enemy, and even without the need for alchemy potions.
Sama was so angry at this that he ordered a system of joint sitting, in which if someone ran away, the whole unit would be buried with him, and for this purpose he also made a special killing spree to make an example, but instead the entire army of 300 men ran away, and God knows where they went. Every time he patrolled the barracks, Sama felt that the eyes of some Huaixi soldiers below were very wrong, as if they were doing something with him. At this time, Gillias had to be secretly reminded that if such a decree was continued, the army would have the possibility of a battalion. Once the camp roars, Sama and the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard will be affected. Sama was so embarrassed that he lifted the ban and concentrated on how to deal with the attack of the Eagle Army.
It's just that this time Sama was waiting for not an attack by the Boer army, but a complete counteroffensive by the Boer army.
Another night came, the gate of the Boer army camp opened again, this time it was not a squad of dozens of people, but a thousand troops, it can be said that most of the soldiers in the entire barracks with combat effectiveness participated in the battle, at Ginny's repeated requests, Meria also brought her, according to Ginny's words, he wanted to use the victory of this battle to avenge Planck, who was still lying in the hospital bed, weak.
Meria's eyes flashed with excitement, after a long period of suffering, they finally waited for this day, the potion refined by Grave is now lying quietly in Meria's space ring, and Greve, who has been busy for three days and three nights, after refining the potion, his body instinctively protectively put him into a long stupor, he is definitely one of the biggest heroes of this battle.
The cavalry rushed out, followed by more than thirty trebuchets, which were already all the stocks captured from the Berus, and many of them were recreated under the command of Tyranal, and Meria could be said to have invested all his wealth in this battle, which was a big gamble.
"Moses, why are you here? Didn't you say you didn't want you to go to the front?
Before Will could finish his sentence, Moses interrupted his question: "Don't talk nonsense, I offered to come to the front line of the battlefield this time." ”
"Oh my God, the sun is coming out of the west. Will let out a low sigh of surprise.
"Well, there may be some truth to what you said, on this night, we are going to create a unique sun for the Royas. Moses smiled mysteriously, his posture as a dwarf on horseback was really a little weird: "This is the way I used to advocate, combining alchemy and magic, you can watch it carefully." ”
Many of the soldiers were still barely aware of tonight's battle, and Meria simply told them that when their orders were given, they could simply fire a volley of crossbow arrows and then charge with a wave of cavalry.
The soldiers had also quietly discussed in private that the soldiers of the Roya Army were not scarecrows at the training range, allowing them to shoot and slash, but in view of the Belu invaders who had been killed in a violent explosion during the siege of Boer Territory, they still decided to trust their lord.
"Stop!"
When the entire force advanced to a distance of less than five thousand meters or so from the pass, Meria ordered the troops to stop their advance, and if they went any further, the sound of horses' hooves and trebuchet wheels would be detected by the enemy.
The cavalry formed a neat formation, and they consciously dispersed, allowing the soldiers pushing the trebuchets to park the catapults on the great plains, and some of the soldiers quickly transported the trebuchet's shells, special explosive packs, from the rear.
These explosive packs are exceptionally lightweight, not even a quarter of the weight of normal times, even ordinary soldiers can throw tens of meters away with their hands, and these black packages are not filled with black gunpowder, but a part of the magic scroll that Ron left behind.
There are a variety of magic scrolls, Merial has eliminated some of the flying scrolls and defense scrolls, and there are more than forty offensive magic scrolls, which may not be enough to bombard enemy positions, but it is definitely more than enough to create a small magic storm.
Meria turned over and dismounted, and came directly in front of the trebuchet, the soldiers of the trebuchet unit selected this time all have a certain foundation of fighting spirit, even if it is red fighting energy, it can also urge the magic scroll inside through the shell of the explosive bag.
