Chapter 323: Sneak Attack
Rumble~
A deafening sound of artillery fire interrupted the general's anger.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The aristocratic army was in chaos, and everyone hurriedly looked for cover. The general tightened the reins, so that the horses that tried to flee many times stayed in place.
"Don't panic, don't panic!"
The general reminded loudly, but the death of the Magister just now had already made the soldiers of the noble army hang. The sound of the cannon was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the soldiers' psychological defenses suddenly collapsed, and fear and fright poured in like a flood.
Bang~
A few more shells exploded, kicking up a whole cloud of smoke and grass clippings. And an explosion was less than 10 meters away from the general!
"Phew~"
Spit out the debris that flew into his mouth, and the general figured out the direction of the source of the cannon sound, the rear!
Suddenly, a cool air rushed to the back of the head. The generals have not forgotten how the aristocratic army failed half a month ago, and it was also the group army that suddenly appeared in his rear.
They still haven't figured out how the army group did it.
"Drive!"
The general waved his whip and rode away!
This move was seen by all the noble troops, and the leaders ran away, do you still have to resist? The army was in a state of confusion, and they threw away their armor and ran in the opposite direction.
The soldiers of the first brigade looked at the noble army with muskets and laughed.
"Such a cowardice, just a few cannon shots, scared them like this."
"If they don't run, I'll give them a taste of my big baby."
After speaking, he raised the musket in his hand, as if to clarify something.
Du Bosi didn't expect the aristocratic army to be so cowardly, and he hadn't done it with real knives and guns.
"Don't clean up the battlefield, let's go to the next place."
Dubas pointed to a trail on the map.
As soon as the order was given, a brigade of soldiers gathered together and ran towards the target location.
Thousands of people crossed the hills and grasslands.
Beson looked at the map, two small red flags behind the Qunjiang River.
The 1,2 brigade had already gone around to the rear of the enemy.
Then Besson pushed the three squares in front of him, quickly approaching the Eastern Star.
On the front line, the Dragon Breath Corps and the Iron Shield Legion have been marching continuously for more than ten kilometers, and the Eastern Star City Wall is already visible from afar.
"Rest in place! Recovering your strength, it will not be easy to storm the city later. Then call me Pontdo. ”
Marshall raised his hand and ordered.
Pondo, who was the commander of the artillery unit of the group's corps, was subsequently dug up by Marshall. After all, a corps like theirs is very short of artillery military personnel.
After a while, a young general with a short height, full of fat, and three stars on his shoulders ran over. wiped the sweat from his forehead and gave a military salute.
"General, what do you want me to do?"
Judging from his appearance, Pang Duo really doesn't look like a soldier, how can a soldier be so fat. However, Pang Duo is forgivable, and it is not that he eats too much or neglects training. Instead, he contracted a strange disease that the priest could not cure. But this does not mean that he is incompetent, on the contrary, his command talent is recognized as first-class. Otherwise, Marshall would not have poached him.
"I'm about to attack Dongxing, I want to ask you what kind of artillery arrangements you are going to have?"
Marshall asked.
Pontor looked down and thought for a moment, then replied.
"General, it's up to you. If you're not in a hurry to take it down for a short time....."
After listening, Marshall nodded with satisfaction.
"Now the meaning is to occupy the Eastern Star as soon as possible, because the 1,2 Brigade is still in the rear. If you wait for the defenders in East Star City to react. They're in danger. And our troops are already small, if you want to capture Dongxing in a short period of time, and to minimize the losses, it depends on the ability of your artillery units. ”
Pang Duo puffed up his chest and said quite confidently.
"Don't worry, General."
"Yes, take it."
Pondo hurriedly ran back to mobilize the artillery unit.
"Kaiba, I'm going to spend the night in East Star City tonight."
The 80,000 troops who had been sitting on the ground stood up and walked towards Dongxing.
Sipuli had long seen the enemy coming towards him in the binoculars, and it should not be the group army, but his old opponent, the Imperial Army. But he had no interest in fighting.
an hour ago.
Zipley grabbed his hair, still unable to figure out the intention of the group. Why give up two lines of defense in vain.
Tuk Tuk~
Rhythmic fingers tap on the tabletop.
Suddenly, Cypri scrambled to his feet. He seemed to understand that the army group could penetrate his rear without him noticing.
If the conjecture is true, I am afraid that the situation is extremely dangerous.
"Quick, pass my order, give up Dongxing, evacuate, and return to Shanghe!"
The adjutant was puzzled.
"General, do you really want to do this?"
"Hurry up and pass the order, or it will be too late!"
Then the 80,000-strong army met with the 1,2 brigades. If it weren't for the terrain advantage, probably the 1,2 brigades would have been buried here.
In short, Dongxing is now an empty city, and only the soldiers on the city walls are pretending to deceive and deceive the group army. And these are all Sipril's cronies, and they have all done their best. Runs like an arrow.
Seeing the Imperial army gradually forming a position under the city, Sipley sneered. Without waiting for the cannon to fire, the soldiers were ordered to withdraw from the city wall and evacuate from the south gate on horseback.
After a round of artillery, Marshall immediately asked the artillery unit to stop firing.
It's so quiet, it's a little weird quiet.
Then he quickly understood where this uneasiness came from, that there were no soldiers on the walls because of the fear of artillery. But why didn't the Magister, the Magister wasn't afraid of artillery.
Shouldn't you let the Magister fly over and cast a few spells at this time? But now the battlefield is empty.
"Directly attack the city."
Marshalle had already secretly said that he was not good, and hoped that his vision would not come true.
And the besieging soldiers soon returned.
"General, there is no one in Dongxing City, it is an empty city."
Marshall's face turned blue with anger and he threw the whip on the ground.
"Let them run!"
The 1,2 Brigade managed to meet, but this also meant that there were very few blockades on the way.
"Why did the defenders of East Star City withdraw?"
Du Bos was quite puzzled, twenty minutes ago, he had been fighting against the noble reinforcements. Suddenly, a large number of aristocratic troops came from the direction of Dongxing City, and they suddenly threw themselves into chaos, if they hadn't run fast and were familiar with the terrain, they would have been gone a long time ago.
The commander of the 2 Brigade, Reilton, was also quite depressed and stomped on the ground.
"Damn, my ten guns are gone."
"Forget it, let's rush to the East Star now. After all, there are still some dangers here. ”
Railton nodded in agreement.
Bessen also knew the battle report from the front, and the blue flag surrounded by the sand table was planted on the river. It's a pity that it wasn't eaten.
People are not as good as heaven, who would have thought that the aristocratic army would notice it at the last moment. This pincer offensive failed.
However, Beson was not too discouraged, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, as long as he still maintains the initiative strategically, he will definitely have a chance to win.
