The White Flame Legion burst out with great potential under the Legion Commander and a sense of crisis, and ran back desperately at a speed of one and a half times the usual one. Of course, the speed is still very slow compared to the army group. After all, taking individual food as an example, for a low-ranking army like the White Flame Legion, which is the last in the aristocratic army, it is a rare luxury to have oil stars floating in the vegetable soup.

The system is very weak, and it is better than the peasants.

At this moment, the group army has already begun to move further towards the blessed land of the nobility. Things went much smoother than Kroger thought, and many civilians had begun to organize themselves into armed forces. Although they still use very outdated weapons such as wooden spears and iron knives. But it is better to be well concealed, and it is more than enough to deal with many weakly defended cities.

The glowing orange candle lit up the map, which took up half the wall, with a large red circle on it. In the red circle is the word 'Moss'. This is the aristocratic industrial Zhongxing, surrounded by almost a large number of military and steel mills. If this place can be destroyed in one fell swoop, there is absolutely no way for the nobles to resume production in a short time. It can give the greatest support to the front line.

Kroger rightly set his next goal here. An informant reported that the nobles had gathered almost 20,000 troops, which Kroger thought was a joke. I already have three brigades ashore, and I don't want to fight for the number of people.

What's more, these are all temporary security teams, all of them are young children who have never been on the battlefield, and the quality of individual soldiers can be imagined.

What worries him is the logistics, he is marching too fast. It's too long from the coastline, and the supply ships can't keep up. Food can be relied on by civilian donation points. But what about the equipment?

Not only the wear and tear of ammunition, guns and artillery, the more fierce the battle, the greater the consumption. Especially the group army, which is a big eater of equipment.

"Tomorrow let the Yiyi regiment advance from the hills of Kase, where the jungle is thick, remember to watch out for ambushes. The second regiment broke through from the front of Moss, probably with a lot of mines. I'll clear you of all the shells and artillery. This time we don't want any wheel war, there are few of them, we just go straight to the past. After the three regiments copied from Maple Leaf City, it was best to catch one or two nobles. ”

Kroger drew three shallow gray lines with a pencil on the map, and did not forget to instruct.

"If it's a duke, don't kill the earl, it's useless to keep it."

Although he also knew that this was very unlikely.

The three regiment leaders had grim faces, thinking about something from time to time. It's like thinking about the details of tomorrow's actions.

The night passed quickly, and when it was gray, the soldiers of the group army put on their uniforms and set off. A thin line with green as the main tone appeared in the dark blue world, and soon the thin line was divided into three parts and ran in its own direction.

Bang~

The makeshift walls were destroyed by shells like papier-mâché.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

Sirens blared, and soldiers shouted to each other. Hurriedly put on his helmet and armor, and suddenly the ground was full of debris.

Boris put his hand on his forehead and sighed repeatedly.

No matter how unfortunate he is in military affairs, watching his army in chaos, he knows how low the quality of this group of soldiers is. The enemy has not seen it, and he lies like this. If someone hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have known there were mines outside the city.

Disgust is disgust, and that's all he can use now.

"Dress up quickly, pick up the muskets, and the artillery will return to its place. Don't panic, we have mines, and the enemy won't be able to rush through for a while. ”

Boris's newly promoted corps commander next to him shouted at the top of his voice, apparently trying to evoke the muscle memory that these soldiers had usually trained.

In terms of practical results, this is still a bit of a benefit.

Kroger saw the panicked performance of the aristocratic army in the telescope, and shook his head, he admired the local generals very much, and dared to lead this army to collide head-on with the group army with high morale.

It seems that the enemy is very confident in his weapons and numbers.

Of course, the commander of this war was not him, but the commander of the second regiment 30 meters behind him. His trip was just to watch the excitement.

Shells rained down like money, plowed large areas of land, and blew up all the mines hidden in the ground. At the same time, a large part of the enemy's makeshift wall was blown down.

The nobles had confidence in their walls, as they were built in the exact imitation of Nolan's prismatic walls and poured with cement. The problem is that they really only have cement, and they don't have a single rebar-like support in it. It simply can't stand the shock.

Whenever a cannonball landed on the city walls, the city wall cement flew up like sand that had been lifted up.

Boris scolded secretly, he was completely sorry for his price for the city wall he had built with a lot of money!

But he wasn't going to rely on that.

Soon the artillery of the army group stopped.

According to the previous tactics, the group army would first bombard the enemy with artillery for half a day, causing the enemy's tinnitus and strong discomfort, and at the same time, it could also cause a strong psychological shock effect.

Now it stopped, and the commander of the 2nd regiment had to save ammunition for the next battle.

"The 07, 08, 09 platoons play forwards. The first few times you fought in the past, the usual training was the best. Now don't drop the chain at the critical moment! ”

The commander of the 2nd Regiment looked at the officers standing in a row in front of him.

"The 01, 02, and 03 platoons form the second echelon, and usually the cowhide blows loudly, if I lose face in front of the brigade commander. Don't come back, each of you. I can't afford to lose this man! ”

"Yes, Commander. You're just waiting to go into the city and sleep with the big girl! ”

The regiment commander, who is only 30 years old this year, is still single, which is almost a secret that has spread in the regiment. More or less will hold the head of the regiment who is teasing and smiling.

"Well, if I don't sleep with the girl today. If you go into the city and grab it, you have to grab it for me. ”

"Yes!"

In a short time, the soldiers wearing helmets formed a formation of three or three, sparsely advancing towards the enemy.

The aristocratic army saw the opportunity and lit the artillery one after another. But these noble troops, who had not trained for a few days, obviously did not seize the opportunity. The army group began to fire artillery before it could get closer.

"Reload!"

The only thing that is fortunate is that the generals who led the troops are not considered to be a wreck, and reacted quickly.

"Put!"

Boom~

Boris quietly asked the guard beside him.

"How's the horses going?"

The guard gave him a look and nodded hurriedly.

Boris didn't think that his third-rate army could hold off the army, and he risked his life to stay just to show the nobles.

Then, while everyone was immersed in the frenzy of war, Boris found an excuse to sneak down the walls.

And this time, the general who led the army was abandoned by him without hesitation, and no matter how precious a talent is, his life is not precious.

The frontal battlefield was in full swing, and the noble army felt as if they had seen evil.

The distance between the soldiers of the army group is exactly the distance of the shells, so the damage caused by the artillery is extremely limited.
