(357) Captain Edgar Midknight

On a sunny afternoon, a strong force is about to set foot on the battlefield.

In the marching column of the 1st Heavy Cavalry Brigade of the Imperial Guard, Captain Edgar Midknight, the leader of the 10th Squadron of Cuirassiers, was looking into the distance with a monocular.

In the eyepiece, you can clearly see a huge and majestic building, which is the iron wall of the imperial capital - Michiel Schwagen Fortress.

This is a modern fortress, the advanced defensive design layout so that the large-caliber defensive artillery does not have any shooting blind spots, the defender artillery can move quickly on the track of the city wall, the polygonal wall makes all kinds of light and heavy artillery and guns can form a fierce cross fire, can quickly concentrate on the enemy from any direction.

The night owl banner of the Valstad Empire flutters in the wind on the towering fortress tower - a sign that the fortress defenders are still holding out.

On the vast plains to the east of the fortress, the line infantry of King Solan** lined up in dense columns, and these invaders were dressed in bright red uniforms, and from a distance they looked like a large swarm of red ants, which made people's scalps tingle.

Artillery shells fired by the attacking and defending sides flew everywhere on the battlefield, billowing gunpowder smoke and a thick smell of blood wafted in the air, and faint military music and shouts of killing could be faintly heard.

General Radmund Heinlein led more than 9,000 soldiers of the 21st Division of the Imperial Army to defend the fortress walls, but there were too many enemies, and before the defenders could catch their breath, another wave soon pounced.

The infantry columns of the Solan Kingdom continued to attack like moths to a fire,

These soldiers of the Solan Kingdom in red uniforms were dead, and their commanders didn't seem to care about the loss of troops, and the attack plan they planned was very stupid and clumsy, and they were literally sending them to death.

"I'm feeling a little sorry for the enemy soldiers, whose commander is just piling up a victory with his human life." Captain Edgar commented.

She couldn't comprehend how these Solans could treat their fellow human beings in such a cruel way, and she scoffed at Tzu's disregard for life.

The vanguard of the Valstad Guards advanced at great speed despite the wind and snow, and the 1st Heavy Cavalry Brigade of the Guards was the first to arrive on the battlefield, and they advanced silently, the sound of artillery and shouts of killing around them became more and more intense, and the sight that could be observed in the telescope eyepieces became clearer and clearer.

King Solan** was launching a simultaneous assault on several sections of the fortress's walls, and groups of line infantry and grenadiers rushed up in dense columns, mixed with many sappers carrying wooden ladders, and they tried to use ladders to climb the towering walls, which was obviously a difficult task.

Successive large-scale attacks were thwarted by the stubborn resistance of the defenders, and the corpses left by the Solan people along the fortress walls were stacked on top of each other, and the blood of the soldiers stained even the moat, which was covered with a thin layer of ice, a shocking red.

"My lord! It's horrible! These *%¥ gringos, they're so fucking many! ”

The person who spoke was a second lieutenant of the Guards cuirassier, because this man had a thick orange-red beard, lived like a firework, and his personality was as rough and fierce as fire, so his comrades gave him the nickname, "Paddle Fire Beard".

The squadron leader of this unit, Second Lieutenant Edgar Midknight, laughed and said:

"Hahaha, Firebeard, you are also a noble child, why are you full of swearing, it is really vulgar! If I hear you say a dirty word, I'll pull off all your beard and knit it into a sweater! ”

The second lieutenant, nicknamed Firebeard, craned his neck and made a very exaggerated expression of grievance:

"Your Majesty Princess, you are too domineering, I just scolded the enemy to boost the morale of our squadron, and ...... What is the matter with you, how are you behaving like your brother-in-law, Lord Victor...... Where is Her Majesty the Approachable Princess Rao? ”

"Hehe, I'm kidding you, Firebeard, you go ahead and scold those gringos, I'm actually very good at it!"

Edgar lightly punched the other man; continued: "By the way, don't call me Your Majesty the Princess, call me Captain Edgar, I'm not a delicate big sister, I'm the leader of the cuirassier squadron that led you into battle, understand?" ”

"Got it, Your Majesty the Princess......" A cavalry bugleman just said half a sentence, and immediately slapped himself with a big mouth: "Smack! ”

The person who spoke this time was a fair-skinned big fat man, who was characterized by a large head and body, and looked like a big Ya Pear from a distance, so his comrades-in-arms gave him the nickname "Fat Ya Pear".

"Oh, look at my stupid brain! Forget about it so quickly, Captain Edgar, we are all very interested in one thing, and we are about to start fighting, and we don't know if we will return alive, so you can satisfy our curiosity and answer it, okay? ”

"You guy has some bad luck, fat pear! Let's all go back safely! This princess is in a good mood today, you can just say hello if you have any questions! ”

"Hehe......" Fat Yali's lewd expression couldn't even cover the tin helmet, and he asked, "Dear Captain Edgar, dare to ask about your relationship with your handsome boyfriend, Mr. William...... Where have we got? I notice that your tummy is bulging, is it pregnant? ”

"Whew!" Captain Edgar's pretty face instantly turned red with shame, and she spat at the other party, scolding, "Stupid! That's not a belly! The steel cuirass was originally curved! It's empty inside!. ”

"Hehe, don't bother to explain, the more you draw it, the darker it gets!"

"You're fucking looking for death, fat pear! You wait for me, wait until I go back and see if I don't beat your damn fat face to tears! ”

The surrounding cavalry all laughed, and Firebeard deliberately put on a stunned expression: "Oh, listen, the princess of the dignified empire is also dirty, who taught me a lesson just now, and blames me for scolding the street?" This sir...... It's really a lawless self-discipline! ”

"Hahaha! You guys are so funny, so cute! My good comrades-in-arms, I love you! Captain Edgar threw a flying kiss.

"We love you too! Your Majesty! ”

At this time, there was a sound of military trumpets ahead; "Woo woo woo woo ......" is a total of three lengthy variations.

The female knight adjutant nicknamed "Blood Rose" said: "Listen, three times, the brigade commander has signaled, we are going to charge!" ”

Captain Edgar's saber was unsheathed, and the cold light reflected her heroic face: "Cuirassiers of the 10th Squadron! Get ready for battle! ”

"Yes, sir!"

The 9th Squadron in front of them began to speed up, and Edgar's 10th Squadron followed.

As the cavalry approached the heart of the battlefield, the artillery fire became more and more intensive.

"Boom!" A large-caliber shrapnel exploded in the air, and the flying shrapnel fragments broke a tree, but fortunately no one was injured.

"Oh, my mother! The enemy is shooting at us! ”

"Stupid! That's the firepower of the defenders! Everyone, keep your body down, get close to the horse's back, and dodge stray bullets! ”

With the sound of an impassioned military horn, the cavalry entered a state of accelerated charge.

Captain Edgar Midknight, holding his heavy straight-edged saber aloft, shouted to his men:

"Brothers and sisters of Valsta! The invaders are trampling our land! Rush up! Chop up their heads! ”

The cuirassiers of the 10th squadron shouted in unison: "Long live the emperor!" Come on! ”
