Section 219 Gunfire in Bofeng City (II)

On the twenty-second day after the rebellion in Bofeng City, the crusading army of the Apuro Empire finally appeared on the edge of the territory of Bofeng City.

There are three main reasons for this slowness.

The first is that the Empire was preparing for war against the Aliens, which is the biggest threat to the Empire at the moment, because the Aliens are already trying to expand, and the rebellion in Bofeng City is completely an accident and is not expected by the Apuro Empire.

Now that the sudden outbreak was whether to ignore it for the time being or to divide the army and fight first and then deal with the aliens with all its might, the center of the empire had a different opinion, and in the end it was the idea of the virtuous minister Terence who prevailed and sent a force to suppress the rebellion in Bofeng City first, so as not to float the people's hearts and cause the other empires to follow suit in the territories annexed by the two hundred years of conquest, which was also not conducive to concentrating on dealing with the threat of the aliens.

The second reason is that it is inseparable from the aliens, but in terms of logistics, in addition to the troops, there are also logistics, food and other problems, the empire has to go all out to deal with the aliens this time, so the logistics is also stretched to the extreme, and suddenly a force has to be dispatched to Bofeng City, and the pressure on logistics and food has increased a lot.

The unsuccessful collection of food caused the legions, which were supposed to be dispatched a long time ago, to stay for a few more days.

In the end, the empire first allocated a part of the food to the legions that had come to conquer, and then ordered the expedition.

Although it took a lot of time, the Empire's disposition of Bofeng City still tended to be a quick one, because although the rebellion in Bofeng City sounded terrifying, and even the governor became a prisoner, the real situation was that it was precisely because of this governor that the empire was passive. Actually, as far as the Reich has in its possession. The military power of Bofeng City is not at all climatic.

However, it is said that the leaders were the old party of Noriega and his descendants. This attracted the attention of the Empire, which is why it was necessary to extinguish this faint flame with a thunderbolt.

The third reason is that the life and death of the governor of Ili also caused the imperial center to quarrel for a while, wasting some time.

In the case of ordinary city rulers, the empire is likely to make a direct order to start attacking the garrison that withdrew from Bofeng City in advance, regardless of their life and death, giving those rebels as little time as possible to prepare, and perhaps there is no need to send special troops to suppress it, which the rulers of the Apuro Empire still know.

But the Governor of Ili had a bit of an identity. His sister was the king's favorite concubine, and he himself began to be used by the royal family, and he used various connections to bridge with one of the factions in the political center of the empire.

This caused some resistance and interference to the Imperial Center's decision to ignore his life and death.

The army of the Apuro Empire marched along the Imperial Highway, and it took another seven or eight days to enter the confines of Bofeng City.

This army was the Sixth Legion of the Apuro Empire, originally in the Third Legion, and the leader at that time was Prince Deva, who had captured Bofeng City twenty years earlier.

However, after that battle, although Prince Deva joined forces with another legendary powerhouse to fight the former lord of Bofeng City, Noriega, Prince Deva himself was seriously injured, and the injury was so serious that it was difficult for him to remain in the legendary realm for a long time.

For the sake of his own life, Prince Deva had no choice but to resign as commander of the legion. This legion suffered a lot of losses in the battle to capture Bofeng City, and even the commander of the corps was changed. The strength plummeted, and it fell out of the order of the four major legions of the empire, and became the sixth legion now.

The current commander of the legion is Sid, a noble son of a noble family.

After the army entered the confines of Bofeng City, Sid did not immediately attack, but ordered the troops to be stationed and set up a basic camp, and at the same time sent sentries to observe Bofeng City first, and also sent heralds to be forced to withdraw from Bofeng City, and now the original garrison also stationed at the edge of Bofeng City issued an order to come and join him.

"Let's see, how quickly I'm going to take this disgusting place. As I said a long time ago, there is no need to give more benefits to these people who have been conquered by us Epulos, just to whip them. Sid sneered in the camp.

His lieutenant, a middle-aged swordsman with a mustache from his famous family, smiled and said, "But it also gives you a chance, doesn't it? If this battle can be won, maybe this unit called the Dewa Legion behind its back will no longer be called by that name." ”

"Hmph, Prince Deva is strong, but he has been wounded, and this legion should have been completely under my control a long time ago. Sid said.

Since Prince Deva resigned as the commander of the army, this army has also served as three or four new commanders, and various factions and wealthy families in the empire have competed, but because Prince Deva's imprint is too deep, these previous commanders have not been able to fully control it.

After all, the one who once bestowed this legion with glory and fighting spirit was a legendary powerhouse, following what he once wanted, except for breaking his muscles and bones in Bofeng City.

Later, since no one could fully control the legion, the other factions came up with another extremely ruthless trick and joined forces to implement it, that is, since no one could get the status of Prince Deva in this legion again, they simply split the legion.

Of course, the split in the open and inside could not be done, but the various methods of transferring, dispatching, and co-opting in the open and secretly made the middle and low-level officers of this corps leave one after another, which is also one of the reasons why the strength of this corps has declined again.

It was under these circumstances that Sid was able to become the new Legion Commander.

And although the old foundation of this army has been taken away a lot, it has also unexpectedly made it a lot easier for Sid to control this army, because he can appoint some of his own people to the position through his family and recruitment.

However, because there are still some old people left behind by Prince Deva in this legion, he still has not won the respect of these few people and cannot completely control them.

Of course, it is not impossible to get the true allegiance of these people, as long as he can lead this army to regain the glory of the original Prince Deva battle, these people will really return to their hearts sooner or later, and the strength of this army will also increase slightly.

Adjutant Dorian pointed to the opportunity in front of him, the second suppression of Bofeng City.

Although Prince Deva has an amazing record, he is a legendary powerhouse, and finally won the victory, killing the enemy, but in Bofeng City is really not glorious, almost became Waterloo, if it is not for the help of another legendary powerhouse, it is difficult to say whether it will be another result.

And if Sid can lead the army to capture Bofeng City at a rolling speed this time, although everyone knows in private that this Bofeng City is not the original Bibo Feng City, but on the surface, at least it can be boastful, and it will also help the old people of Prince Deva who were once in the shadow of the battle of that day to let go of their knots and win their favor.

"This battle can only be won, and it must be won quickly. Pass my orders, rest on the spot, wait for the results of the reconnaissance of the sentinels, and when the troops stationed in Boyue City are ordered to join us, they will immediately attack the city, regardless of whether the inhabitants of Bofeng City surrender or not, do not stop me, and kill anyone who rebels after entering the city!"

A day later, information from the sentinels came one after another.

Many of the people in the territory of Bofeng City hid in the city.

However, since the city could not accommodate an unlimited number of people, other families who were afraid but did not have the determination to resist to the death had already fled with their families to other places, such as the cities of the Republic of Yaman or the territory of the Kingdom of Pin Hooc, long before the Imperial army was dispatched.

If Sid's army can't capture Bofeng City as soon as possible, food will be a problem, and it will not be possible to collect it on the spot, so it can only wait for the Imperial transportation or collect it from neighboring Imperial towns.

And there was no movement at all in Bofeng City, as if it had decided to hold on to the city and resist desperately.

Sid smiled contemptuously at this, hearing that the current leader of Bofeng City is the son of Noriega, which seems to be much worse than his father.

This is not only the gap in their own strength, but also the military literacy is too far behind, as soon as their own army comes, they are so frightened that they only dare to defend the city.

But this can't be completely blamed on the other party, those mobs are not regular troops at all, they dare to resist stubbornly while hiding in the city, if they really go out of the city, under the attack of their own legions, they may collapse in less than an hour.

After another half a day, the former garrison troops who had moved from Bofeng City to Boyue City also arrived to join Sid and obeyed the command.

From their mouths, Sid learned a little more about the situation in Bofeng City, and knew that Kehorin had some helpers.

However, he still did not change his mind, because the disadvantages of Bofeng City were so obvious.

Sid is looking forward to taking Bofeng City in one fell swoop, suppressing this rebellion, and adding glory to himself, but also wants to use this to break the knot of the old legion as soon as possible, so that this rejuvenated legion can be completely united with himself.

His real goal is to fight the aliens in the future, and that is his chance to raise his eyebrows and become a new generation of war gods.

And in such a battle, he desperately needs his army to obey him completely.

"Attack, take this city for me. Sid roared.

With the order, the corps began to move.

The forces of the three brigades spread out in a fan shape, and rushed towards Bofeng City unscrupulously.

Five hundred meters, three hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters.

Forty meters from the city wall, the captain at the head raised the military flag.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly sounded.

It's like a shower, but it's unusually loud.

The captain who held the Legion flag trembled suddenly, and warm liquid dripped from his raised arm.

He couldn't help but look at the tall figures that suddenly stood up, their hands holding strange weapons.

There was a faint flicker of fire at the front of the weapons, and the soldiers who rushed in front of the captain fell one after another.

The gunfire in Bofeng City finally rang out. (To be continued......)
