The tense air, coupled with a few muffled thunders sounding from time to time in the sky, this qiē is suppressing everyone's nerves, and it seems that there must be a catharsis in order to feel comfortable. Although this is just the proper weather on the grasslands, in June, the rain should try to make the aquatic weeds grow wildly and store enough water for the days when there is less rain in the future.

Dampness, which is the tiny particles of condensation formed by the floating water molecules, as the temperature rises, the armor of the soldiers will be severely damaged, and those close-fitting clothes will soak the flesh of the soldiers little by little into a terrifying white until they fester.

In short, every qiē will become an influencing factor in the war, which is related to the victory or defeat of both sides.

The Forward Headquarters of the Imperial Western Expeditionary Army.

Reginod didn't care what the weather was outside, although the air was humid now, but it was extremely dry in his tent, and in order to cope with the increasingly hot weather, there was still a basin of ice in his tent, yes, there were still a lot of unmelted ice cubes in the one-foot-diameter wooden basin, and it was daytime, just in time.

"Lord Commander!"

Perfect afternoon tea, Reginaud loves this kind of time. But when the sound of the report came from outside, it was all destroyed.

Slowly put down the exquisite snack in his hand, and then straightened his collar, Reginord said, "Come in and talk." ”

Reginod looked at the pro-guards who were standing bowed, and did not speak, but picked up the piece of snack he had just put down again, and slowly sent it to his mouth.

"Report to my lord, the left flank of the 27th Corps and the 19th Corps have jointly sent a battle report. The guard said, looking up at Reginord slightly, only to see that the other party did not seem to hear him. I savored the taste of the sweets by myself.

Settle down. The guard continued: "The First Banner Regiment and the Second Banner Regiment of the Claude Corps have been destroyed. The corps general Claude, Harold, the flag officer of the 1st Banner Regiment, and Lance, the flag officer of the 2nd Banner Regiment, fled back to Tuconaye, and in addition, the 27th Corps also captured a large amount of baggage. ”

The guard finished speaking in one breath at a very fast speed, and then looked up at Reginord, until after a few breaths, Reginord, who was half a beat slower, jumped up as if he had been struck by lightning, "You say, what did you say?"

I saw that Reginod ran to the guard in excitement. Just as the other party was about to say it again, Reginood hurriedly interrupted, "Okay, I already know, haha, Claude's regiment, there is only one third flag regiment left west of Ankara, I'll see what you do!"

With that, Reginald turned back to his seat and looked at the guard. "You go and give the order, the first and second flag regiments of the thirty-second corps march to Belgri. The Third Banner Regiment will make peace with the headquarters of the 19th Corps, and the 3rd Banner Regiment of the Claude Corps must be defeated, and in addition, the supply of grain and grass will follow closely after the 19th Corps, and the forward headquarters will go south!"

As soon as Reginod finished speaking, the guard was about to leave.

"You're back. Reginald rolled his eyes, "Go find me a few more wandering poets, or sing them, and if they find out, let them come to see me." ”

"Yes!" the guard replied, but did not move

"Don't go yet!"

"Ah? yes, yes, my subordinates will do it. As he spoke, the guard hurriedly withdrew from the tent.

When he got out of the tent, he breathed a sigh of relief, quickly wiped the sweat beads on his face, and whispered in his mouth: "What do you want those wandering poets to do, where can I find this place?" ”

After that, he looked at the grass around him and shook his head again and again.

In the tent, Reginod continued to eat his afternoon tea, but he couldn't close his mouth with joy, "It seems that the battle of Andus is coming to an end. ”

Just thinking about it, he laughed violently again, almost choking on the dim sum, "Xilin, this stupid boy, I also want me to help him with this kind of thing, alas, it's just that, I'll help him, hehe." ”

Listening to the laughter coming from time to time in the big tent, the two guards outside the tent were confused and looked at each other.

The order from the High Command was quickly issued, and the situation in Andus was also reported upwards, and all of them were moving in favor of the Empire.

The Imperial Army was constantly on the move, and the Droiana Army was not idle.

Miles finally took an important step when Andorra was reoccupied by the Droiana Army, and the Miles Corps began to look out at Belgre from afar.

Adonis didn't blame Claude too much in the letter, but told him to gather the remnants of the army and transfer back to the Third Banner Regiment to prepare for the next battle, in short, Claude was very depressed.

Lacking the huge combat power of the Claude Corps, in order to make up for the gap in the troops south of Andus, Adonis sent another of his trump cards, the Chadon Corps, to the province of Dominia.

Compared with the Claude Corps, the combat power of the Chatun Corps is more terrifying, and it can be said that the Chatun Corps is the most powerful corps of the Derogana Army, and there is no one.

The general of his corps, Viscount Chadon, is over forty years old, and his cultivation is as high as the eighth level of a warrior, although this level is the same as Claude, but Claude is far from being Chadton's opponent, especially in the battle array, Chatun is simply a killing machine.

In addition to the Chadon Corps, Adonis also asked Claude to gather the forces of the cities in Dominia and establish the Free Army of Dominia, which was used to fight against the Freedom Banner of the Roland Empire.

In this way, Adonis would be able to devote a full three corps of troops to Andus, and if you count the Third Banner Regiment of the Claude Corps, the Droiana Army is now stronger.

According to Adonis's orders, all the corps were under the control of Viscount Chatun, and Chatun became the commander of the Droiana army for a time.

And in the next battle, Andus will add a strength, the combined army of the Archduke of Orion and the Archduke of Oruna has reached the southwest of Dominia, at most one day, they can meet with the power of the Droiana army in Andus, when the time comes, what kind of strength will the 200,000 Droiana army play, Adonis can't help but laugh when he thinks about it.

Ready, both sides are preparing, using the last time to breathe, accumulating the strength to fight hard.

Andus, Dominia, Bondelles.

Reginord, Oliver, Harris.

The place names are clearly marked. Small flags representing your own forces are firmly planted above these place names. Eric is still in his Fisher Palace. At this time, the palace is not much different from before, the only difference is that in the center of the main hall, there is a big sand table, and above the sand table is the terrain of the entire battle area and the strength of both sides.

"You see, we're about to win, just before the snowstorm in Odo. ”

Eric spoke, but no one responded. Only the echo of Eric in the main hall sounded, and the empty hall made this qiē look extremely eerie.

Eric, however, seemed very calm, knowing that he would be heard.

There was no response, and Eric stopped speaking, and looked at the sand table quietly again, waiting for the next news to come.

Andus, the whole of Bergeri was nervously preparing for the fight, perhaps because of a premonition. Both Jesse and Soru have tripled the number of city guards. Nearly 10,000 city guards and reserve troops, as long as the other party dares to covet the city, then these people will fiercely deal a head-on blow to the invading enemy.

And at this moment, Jesse also transferred his Freedom Flag Regiment to the city in order to strengthen the defense, and he was not stationed in the city before, because the forces outside the city were empty, but now it is different, as long as the 27th Corps and the 19th Corps come, it will be a large force in the periphery of Belgri, and in comparison, the forces inside the city seem empty.

Besides, the original team of the Freedom Flag Regiment was recruited by Jesse in Wiesna, and many of them were Wiesna's city guards, but they were captured by Jesse to be a regular army, and now they are stuck in Belgrie, and they can be regarded as doing their old jobs again.

The gloomy weather continued for another day, June 15.

It was not until the afternoon that the left flank of the 27th Corps and the 19th Corps was stationed fifteen kilometers northwest of Belgrie, and as for the other troops and horses, the soldiers and horses of the 19th Corps headquarters were also coming towards Belgrie, and they did not catch the third banner of Claude's corps, so it can be seen that after receiving the news of Claude's defeat, they also went south.

The 3rd Banner Regiment of the 32nd Corps guarded the forward headquarters, and the rest of the soldiers and horses were also on their way to Belgri.

Soldiers from all walks of life converged in Bergeri and confronted each other in the north and south around the great city south of Andus. But the confrontation didn't last long, or rather too short, to be tight for hours.

In the early hours of the night on June 16, the walls of Bergeri were lit with fire, and the shouts of killing rang out, and then intermittently, until the day became brighter.

In the tentative attack, neither side used large forces, and Miles only committed two battalions of the Third Banner Regiment, and the goal was only to defend the southern side of Belgrie.

After a lot of noise in the middle of the night, at dawn, Miles ordered the attack to be stopped, and the soldiers of the two battalions suffered more than 200 casualties, a casualty rate of one-tenth, which was not low in this kind of tentative attack.

"It seems that we need to take a fresh look at the defense system of Belgree, my Malay newspaper, it is said that the Roland Empire's Andus Freedom Banner Regiment is not stationed outside the city, but is stationed inside the city, and in the face of the Claude Corps Cavalry Banner, the Freedom Banner Regiment is already quite effective, and now it is firmly held with the Belgree City Guard, we should be cautious. ”

Miles summed up last night's siege experience, and when talking about Claude's cavalry flag regiment, Claude's face was ugly for a while, but he didn't say anything, after all, what Miles said was also the truth.

"Ai, I said Miles, how can you grow up to destroy your own prestige, your Miles Corps has been here for so long, not only has there been no progress, but even the Claude Corps has almost been eaten, I really don't know what your Droanne Army is doing. ”

Well, this sentence is very powerful, not only did Miles refute it, but even the entire Droiana army carried it with him.

It was none other than the general of the combined army of Orion and the Grand Duke of Oruna, Du Celtes.

Celtics was a close confidant of the Grand Duke of Oruna, and was regarded as a minister of the humerus by the Grand Duke and had always relied on him, which also made Celtics develop a temper that no one in his eyes was.

After he said this, Claude and Miles stood up at the same time, looking at Celtics angrily, but Celtes was disdainful of them, he didn't believe that the other party had the courage to do anything to him, he Celtes was a close minister of the Grand Duke of Ouluna, with heavy troops in his hands, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, even the younger brother of the Grand Duke, the newly crowned Duke was very respectful to him, not to mention these corps generals.

"Alright. Lord Charton, let's discuss it. I'll go see the two new military concubines first. Hahaha, it's still Lord Chardon who is sensible. ”

As he spoke, Celtics walked out of the tent.

As he passed by Claude, he snorted softly, so that Claude could hold back, but Harold (who returned to the army shortly after Claude) could not hold back, and came to Celtics with a stride. I saw that Celtics was not in a hurry, because there was already a person in front of him in an instant, and I saw that this person was dressed in silver armor, holding a double-edged broadsword, and the 'ding' sound was against Harold's spear.

Harold and the man in the silver armor looked at each other, and for a moment they were on par.

"Harold, stand down!" Claude said in a muffled voice.

Chatun also continued: "Lord Celtes, you are tired all the way, it is better to rest early, if you have any plans, I will send someone to inform your lordship." ”

"Humph!"

Another cold snort. Celtics glared at Harold and turned away.

"Lord Charton. I'm so angry that this Celtes's rudeness dares to insult our Droiana Army!" Miles said to Chatun with great anger in his heart.

Charton smiled slightly: "Lord Miles, don't be impatient, Celtes, this person is too arrogant, and lustful, why should adults be like this kind of person, saying that Celtics obeys the unified order, hehe, but I don't have much hope, in the end, it depends on our Droiana army." ”

"Long live Droian!" Chalton said, and everyone in the room got up together.

Today, the Chadon Corps of the De Rosana Army and the Combined Corps led by Celts are still stationed south of the Chatria River, and the rest of the divisions are already living near Andorra.

In the entire Droiana Army, Claude's first situation was a little awkward, the Claude Corps, which was originally the main army, no longer existed, the Third Banner Regiment was still on the way, Harold was by his side, and Lance went to Dominia to collect the city guard forces, organized as the Dominian Free Army, and the entire Claude Corps had been reduced to a third-class force.

For a day and a night, it was as if the war had disappeared and the whole world was extremely calm.

In the early hours of the morning, the entire inhabitants of the southern part of Andus were awakened by a roar, and the earth trembled for a while.

The real offensive of the Droiana army began.

The Myers Corps served as the main attack of the first echelon, the Third Banner Regiment of the Claude Corps responded to the sidelines, the combined corps of Celts was responsible for blocking reinforcements, and the Chalton Corps was in the rear for reinforcements.

Since the early hours of the morning when the troops were in position, a large number of siege engines and rams have been pulled to the front of the battle, facing the fortified city of Belgri, which is not enough, and the arrow towers and catapults have also been pushed up.

There was a loud roar in the sky, the sound of boulders crossing the sky, and the incessant ringing of arrows from archers.

The prelude to the siege was opened by the earth-shattering sound, first by a bombardment of huge stones, and the screeching sound of large catapults, throwing huge stones at the walls of Belgre, and many of them were also thrown onto the city, and as long as a huge stone flew to the city, it could take the lives of a large number of soldiers in an instant.

The impact of the boulder, which is more than two hundred pounds, is so great that it can almost destroy a simple defense.

At the same time, the soldiers in the city were also returning fire, and the trebuchet caused Miles to lose a lot of troops, and many trebuchets were hit by the opponent and temporarily ineffective.

As the assault of dozens of tons of stone was over, the soldiers of Miles' 1st Banner Regiment headed for the walls of Belgrie.

At a distance of hundreds of meters, all the soldiers seemed to go crazy, some hid behind the arrow tower, some set up ladders, but there was only one goal, that is, to attack the city in front of them.

The soldiers on the arrow tower fell from a high place, and the next soldier made up for it, and the ladder was already on the city wall, but it was burned by the fire oil that fell from the city, and for a time the fire was so bright that many soldiers' bodies were ignited, and the crying and shouting were endless.

There were also several groups of soldiers who set up ladders, and while they were climbing, huge boulders fell on the city, and cold arrows were drilled out from time to time, which made people unable to guard against them, and they were killed by arrows, and many people were killed by stones.

"Lord Miles, I see that the city on the other side is well defended, and if this continues, I'm afraid the casualties will be very huge. Claude was standing beside Miles and spoke.

"How could I not know, but what can I do if I don't. Miles looked at the battle in the distance, and his heart was also helpless.

The time is too short, and they can't use the method of besieging the city, so now they can only storm it, so it seems that even if they can conquer the city, the huge casualties are not something they can afford

Listening to Miles's words, Claude also sighed, "I don't know why Lord Adonis is so anxious, if you surround it for a while, I'm afraid the casualties will be much smaller." ”

The two chatted here, and the siege in the distance was no longer as fierce as it was just now, but there were still soldiers who died from time to time.

"Report to your lordship!" said one of the guards.

"Say!" Miles spat out only one word.

"My lord, the First Banner Regiment has suffered heavy casualties, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold out for a long time. ”

Hearing this news, Miles frowned, then looked into the distance, and snorted coldly: "Go and sue the flag officer of the First Banner Regiment, just say what I said, let him organize an attack for another hour, his third battalion has not moved, when I don't have long eyes, I can't do it!"

Seeing that Miles was angry, the guard's body shook suddenly, and he hurriedly bowed and retreated.

"Miles, why are you doing this? Claude shook his head and continued to look at the battlefield in the distance. (To be continued......)
