Chapter Sixty-Four: A Bunch of Guys Who Are Strong Outside
Jiashan Castle.
Because of the recent stationing of the 45th Army outside the city, the usually lax city defense has been greatly strengthened during this time, and even at night when the city gate is closed, two brigades of soldiers are stationed on the wall facing the 45th Army at any time.
This tension has been going on for some time, and as more and more self-defense militias have moved in, so has the vigilance of the people.
Today is still a foggy morning, and the garrison of the 45th Army in the distance is shrouded in thick morning fog, like a monster that has not yet woken up.
The captain of the infantry battalion on duty tonight stood on the high city wall and looked at the military camp in the distance, and was about to rush back to the military camp in the city with his troops for breakfast, when he heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the road below the city.
Something is wrong!
Walking quickly behind the battlements and looking down, he saw a small group of light cavalry appearing under the city gate. The leader of the team was riding on a war horse, staring intently at the row of heads poking out of the city wall.
"You are part of it, what's the matter?"
"We are the logistics battalion of the 45th Army Corps, one of our soldiers was lost yesterday, and ten minutes later, our entire battalion was ordered to enter the city to search, you quickly open the city gate!"
It's time to come or it's coming!
While several heralds rushed down the city wall, the bronze bell on the castle tower was vigorously rang. Melodious bells rang over the city, and it was destined to be an unusual morning.
Seeing the overreacted guys on the city wall, the team leader under the city wall was also confused, feeling that the courage of these guys was too small, and he just explained his intentions, you can let yourself be a little restless, and report it yourself to delay time.
What do you mean by ringing the bell and spreading the troops. I'm just a squad of more than a dozen people, and you're thousands of Imperial soldiers.
For the sake of his own life, this light cavalry squad, under the leadership of the squad leader, quietly retreated again.
Just as the people on the city wall breathed a sigh of relief and were about to learn more about the situation, the noise of a large force coming from the thick fog was heard.
Even standing on the high city wall, everyone can feel the murderous aura coming to their faces. This extremely uncomfortable atmosphere made everyone present understand that it was estimated that it would be difficult to get past today.
"Enemy attack, all troops are ready to engage the enemy!"
The captain who reacted let out a wail and quickly began to arrange the defensive troops. The soldiers who reported the news had already been dispatched, and they only had to withstand the first wave of attacks and wait for their commanders to arrive.
It's a pity that it backfired, as the breeze blew away the fog in front of the city gate, a team of Wu Qian people appeared in front of everyone's eyes. The slowly unfolding military formation and the burly soldiers made everyone on the city wall feel what it means to be desperate.
Unlike the Imperial Army that they are familiar with, this is a multi-racial synthetic, fearsome army armed to the teeth. In front of the unfolded formation, rows of dwarven soldiers armed with tower shields covered the musketeers and longbowmen in the middle of the line. On the two wings of the team were slowly spreading human swordsmen and elven warriors, and behind them were a thousand human cavalry.
If the small number of people is not enough for everyone to feel too much pressure, then the guys in the hands of these people are a little too surprising. When have all kinds of top-level ordnance been equipped to the front-line troops, whether it is armor made of stainless steel or weapons that shine with cold light, they all arrogantly reveal a message, that is, they are a group of very difficult to mess with.
When the fog completely cleared and the entire military formation was clearly exposed in front of everyone, the captain wailed again. How could there be a presence four or five meters tall in the middle of the team, just now I thought it was a siege machine, but now I can see that this is a big living person at all.
And what are the dwarves doing in the back of the line in a heavily protected row? Is that the legendary dwarven clan's great killer, the magic mortar? Isn't this supposed to be a legend?
When the ancient gods and demons were fighting, this thing should be to beckon the dragon, and at this time, it was placed in front of him by a group of ill-intentioned dwarfs, no matter how you look at it, it is a very fatal existence.
Fortunately, after the gang in the city unfolded the formation, they did not make any further moves. Wu Qianren's troops were quietly placed there, and no one was sent to make further contact, and no one on his side dared to go over and ask these people if they had eaten breakfast, and if they wanted to help buy a delicious breakfast or something.
Obviously, the people were waiting for the arrival of the Lord, and they knew that the people on the city wall were just doing their work. In this regard, the captain who has turned his calf tendons is very much in agreement.
You uncles came over early in the morning to fight and kill, and at first glance, they had bad intentions and came here to find fault. He is just a small infantry captain, and there are not a hundred or at least seventy or eighty in the city, so people are definitely not looking for trouble for themselves to make such a big formation.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the governor of Limburg to rush over with a large number of large and small government officials. Without taking a breath, he came to the city wall and looked at the guys who came to the door outside the city.
"This is not the regular army of the Empire! Where did these people come from? Governor Chasai frowned, put down his eagle glasses, and looked at Baron Agath.
"With so many alien soldiers, it should be a second-line force formed by the mercenary group in the Duke of Bourbon's fief." As the commander of the provincial city defense army in Limburg, Baron Igat gave a more reliable guess.
"Second-line troops? The Imperial Praetorian Guard is not as murderous as these guys in front of them! "The Governor of Chasai quickly dismissed Baron Agath's speculation." Some of them came over and saw what to say! ”
Sure enough, when the governor of Chasai arrived at the head of the city, the small group of light cavalry that had disappeared before appeared from not far away. Under the gaze of a person on the city wall, he soon came to the bottom of the city wall.
"Our department is a direct logistics battalion of the 45th Army Corps, a soldier was lost last night, suspected of entering Jiashan City, my department is now ordered by the commander of the corps, and needs to enter the city to search!"
The cavalry squad leader once again explained his intentions!
Governor Chasai's face turned ugly, and the reasons these guys were looking for were so unprofessional. Not to mention that the two sides have been in a tense confrontation recently, even in normal times, you are tall in the team, short and short. It's all a group of fresh-looking guys, and it's hard for you not to let people watch if you're lost.
"Listen to the soldiers of the city! I'm the Chief Inspector, there is no soldier you are looking for in Jiashan City, please leave the area where the city gate is located quickly, and I will question your legion commander for details! The Governor refused the former's request like a fly.
As if everything was expected, the squad leader under the city led the team back very simply. It has created an illusion for the worried people in the city, thinking that these guys in the city are just a group of scum who are strong from outside.
