"Hiss~woo~, boom~!!"

The cannonballs whizzed across the sky and exploded on the ground, sending orange flames into the air and blasting several Semitic soldiers high and high flying like ragdolls.

At the same time, a violent explosion also kicked up a blanket of snow.

"Fire~!Fire~!" shouted with the officer's hoarse excess.

The security soldiers who held out in the frozen trenches raised their guns one after another, constantly pulling the trigger, and firing a particle at every suspicious black shadow on the snow

"Suddenly, suddenly......" The characteristic rhythm of the machine gun also sounded.

On the battlefield that surrounded the city of Ruman, there were gunshots, fights, screams, and shouts...... Loud and loud.

More than 100,000 Semitic people who broke into Ruman fought fiercely with the soldiers of the Ruman Empire. Both sides are Jingrui soldiers who have been selected by thousands of people, and neither side will take a step back.

It's the middle of winter, and the snow has been falling for several days, and there is no intention of stopping.

Goose feather-like snow flakes fell from the sky, turning the whole world into a white expanse.

The snow in the wilderness was almost a meter thick, and the white snow buried the bodies of the dead soldiers and also concealed the brutal battlefield

The snow is so thick that it takes a lot of effort to pull it out when you step into it.

In the wilderness, the endless snow looks poetic, but it has had a great impact on the movement of the two armies on the battlefield, whether it is the transfer, transfer, or transportation of materials, it has become much more difficult than before.

In general, though. The harsh environment was even more unfavorable for the attacking Semites.

The Rumans are backed by a fortified city. Supplies are plentiful. There are houses to shelter from the cold, and they are on the defensive.

Although from a strategic point of view, this is a disadvantageous factor, but it is precisely because of the perseverance that they can rely on a strong defensive line and calmly wait for the enemy's attack.

And the Semitic tribes fought long distances due to aggression. Therefore, the materials are not enough.

Out of bitter hatred for the demons, the Ruman Empire's policy of clearing the wilderness was exceptionally successful. As they retreated, they burned down almost all the houses.

Therefore, when the Semitic soldiers arrived here, they had to camp in the wilderness. Only a small number of high-ranking officers were able to find a house in a small village that had not been burned down by the Rumans and use it as their own high-ranking residence.

And the most terrible is when attacking.

Due to the heavy snowfall, the Semitic soldiers could only crawl slowly in the snow, moving their bodies little by little, advancing foot by foot, and using their own ** to attack the enemy's strong defense line armed to the teeth.

This also allowed the artillery of the Ruman army to bombard them for a longer period of time.

Soldiers of the Security Forces can also stand inside the trenches. Hold up your gun and aim and fire as calmly as if you were shooting a target on a training ground.

What annoyed the Semitic officers the most. The heavy snow made the night battle they were proud of useless.

The Semitic army had just learned to crawl on the battlefield with cannon roar and bullets flying, and they had found some way.

Compared to the Terrans, the Semitic have quite good eyesight in the night.

In wars thousands of years ago, once they encountered a powerful enemy, or a fortress that was difficult to overcome, they often resorted to night attacks to deal with the Terrans.

Not long ago, they also organized their soldiers, and under the cover of the night, they quietly touched the past with small troops, and started a white-knuckle battle with the enemy, which often achieved some results.

Therefore, in order to guard against the night attack of the Semites, at night, the Terran soldiers desperately shot flares into the sky. And he shone the whole earth as if it were day.

Even so, in the small-scale infiltration operations, many Semitic people could still rush over, kill into the enemy's trenches, and beat the Terrans screaming and fleeing in a hurry.

But this heavy snow completely ruined their tactics~!

Moving through the thick snow at night makes a creaking sound that reveals their location.

Moreover, the Semitic soldiers are dressed in black sè uniforms, which are not only difficult to hide on the white sè snow, but will also be clearly reflected by the white snow.

The Terran soldiers didn't even need to shoot flares to spot them lightly.

However, despite all the adverse conditions, under the command of Orlandini, the Semitic soldiers were all extremely tenacious, and they continued to attack the defense line of the Juman soldiers day and night.

And, in the war fortresses, gas cannons...... With the support of other weapons, they had broken through the first line of defense, and slowly but surely advanced in front of the second line of defense of the Rumans, which was only a few miles away from the city of Ruman.

With the naked eye, the soldiers could see the dense and row-on-row high-rise buildings in Ruman City, as well as the dazzling light from the golden roof of the Ruman Palace in the distance.

Every time they saw this, the Semitic officers were all enthusiastic: the dream of the Semitic people for thousands of years had never been so close as it is now, as if they could pick the fruitful and sweet fruit in their hands as soon as they reached out.

Then, they pushed their soldiers even more frantically. Forcing the cattle to continue to attack the Terran defense line in waves.

While there was fierce fighting day and night outside the city, it was a different scene inside the city.

Heavy snow covered the city, high snowdrifts piled up on both sides of the streets, pedestrians struggled to walk on the icy roadside, and from time to time someone slipped and fell to the ground.

The whole city seemed to freeze, and the residents of Ruman City were experiencing the coldest winter they could remember.

What makes them even more sad is that there is a lack of heating fuel in the city, and many people have died because they can't survive the cold.

In desperation, the city's residents have begun to cut down trees. The aristocrats also demolished their beautiful gardens and filled the furnaces with all kinds of precious flowers and trees.

And it is said that the Imperial Palace is doing the same.

Coal and firewood could be supplied from the surrounding areas, but the war blocked the passage in three directions of the city, leaving only the south of the city frozen and the river passable.

This one and only route became the lifeblood of Jouman. Weapons, ammunition and food are of the highest priority.

War materials brought in by train from the East would be unloaded hundreds of miles away. It was transported to the city of Ruman by local residents. Finally, it was pushed onto the ice dozens of miles away.

Horse-drawn ploughs converted from carts weave through the thick ice of the river to bring these much-needed supplies to the city of Ruman.

This important passage was also subjected to daily attacks and disturbances by the Semitic people, and Orlandini was aware of the importance of the ice highway and tried to destroy it.

But Archduke Julian was also-for-tat, and invested a considerable amount of troops here, deploying defenses along both sides of the river.

The soldiers of Ruman piled up earth or thick timber not far from the riverbank, and then poured water directly.

When the cold wind blew, it froze into a long wall and a fortress, and then they hid inside the fortress. With the help of grenades, desperately block the Semitic attack.

Around the fortresses one by one, the two sides continued to invest troops and launched bloody battles. Sometimes, a fortress has to go through dozens or hundreds of battles until it is blown up into the sky by gunpowder by the Terrans or burned to ashes by the Semitic people.

The undead war fortresses also come to attack from time to time, but their powerful dark spells are of little use on the ice.

The surface of the river is often filled with large holes, and the large number of elemental mages in Ruman City comes in handy, and they only need a few minutes. You can repair and reinforce the broken ice.

The city itself is home to the Royal Mage Guild of Ruman, and there are hundreds of resident mages in the city. For them, it's just a little bit of a hand.

It's just that for the people living in Ruman City, their lives are becoming more and more difficult.

Wrapped in a thick scarf, Sylvia carried a sack in one hand and a small wooden cart in the other, and walked through the streets with difficulty.

With her young daughter sitting on the cart, Sylvia was not worried about her being home alone, so she had to take her with her.

The little girl thought it was a good game to ride in the car, and from time to time she burst into laughter.

After the snow fell on the street, it was stepped on by passers-by, and the wheels were pressed, and the ground was covered with a layer of ice one inch thick, as hard as steel, and even if the steel drill was smashed on it, it was only a white mark.

The militia and volunteers have abandoned their intention to clear the ice and let it melt naturally. Just throw some weeds on some of the steeper sections to prevent someone from slipping.

However, later, the weeds were also covered by the new snowfall.

The howling cold wind blew in the face with flying snow, like a knife, and the face of the person who blew it was painful. Sylvia had to walk with her head down, and a layer of snow soon fell on her body.

Many of the Rumans like her were hurrying around, all of whom had a common goal, the food supply station south of the city.

The war fortress of the demon clan just came yesterday, and according to their rules of action, they will not come again today, so there are a lot of people who go out to receive food.

The supply depot was located in the barracks in front of the South City Gate.

Although Sylvia had gotten up early, by the time she arrived, there was already a long line in front of the barracks, and the line had turned several corners along the street.

She looked out worriedly at the back of the line, and couldn't help but sigh: With such a long line, I don't know when it will take.

At this time, a gust of wind and snow blew, and from the south of the city came a low shout of killing, and it was obvious that the Semites had attacked again.

Perhaps it was the urging of the enemy's shouts of killing, and the supply station distributed food much faster.

Only an hour passed, and it was Sylvia's turn.

She unbuttoned her clothes, took out a card from her close-fitting pocket, and handed it to the officer opposite.

The officer on the opposite side glanced at the numbers on the card, and then quickly flipped through the ledger, the two could match, the officer nodded, looked up at Sylvia, and said, "It's still a military family, you can get an extra copy, sixty catties." ”

Then "snap" stamped on the card.

The soldier next to him took the pocket and quickly loaded the food into the pocket.

He filled the sack and then helped Sylvia put it on the flatbed.

Little Katie had already climbed down from the flatbed truck at this time, and without command, she had already sensibly pulled up the rope and wanted to pull the rations of the whole family of four home with her mother.

At this moment, a horse-drawn plough ran quickly across the Guò River. Don't wait for the plow to stop. Someone shouted anxiously, "Come and help." Someone has been hit by an arrow~!"

A group of soldiers immediately rushed out and carried a coachman out with all their hands.

I saw a feather arrow stuck in his waist, and his clothes were soaked with red blood.

And the plough that carried the grain was also stuck with several arrows, and it was clear that many people had shy arrows at it.

From this alone we can see what kind of danger the plough took in order to get through the blockade.

Sylvia hastily drew a cross on her chest and prayed in her heart for the brave groom.

At the same time. She couldn't help but think of her husband who was fighting with the demons in the Kingdom of Kiel, and her face couldn't help but pass through a sad slight, and then urged her daughter to leave the supply station quickly.

When the mother and daughter staggered all the way to a short distance from home, a team of white-robed priests led a large group of soldiers hurriedly ran past them.

At the same time, several pastors were talking hurriedly.

"It's no longer a sporadic outbreak, several households have appeared at the same time, it's already certain. ”

"Is it still that disease?"

"Yes. ”

"How many people died, what were the bodies done? ”

"I've got it all figured out. ”

"Still haven't found the source?"

"No, Rumane is just too big. The outbreaks are scattered and scattered. ”

"We judged that it had an incubation period of a few days. Very tricky. ”

The old priest at the head had a solemn face, and kept urging: "Hurry up, hurry up, at any cost." It must not be allowed to spread. ”

Sylvia's face changed suddenly, and her heart immediately hung in the air, for a plague had suddenly begun to spread in the city recently, and it was said that many people had died.

These pastors spend their days dealing with this.

At this moment, the priests, dressed in beautiful white robes, were no longer noble messengers in the eyes of the Rumans, but became messengers of death.

The appearance of the white robe there means that there is a calamity there.

And now, they are going in the direction of their own home.

"Let's go," Sylvia's heart was so heavy that she was almost out of breath, she picked up her daughter, pulled the flatbed car with all her strength, and walked home at a faster pace.

Fortunately, the priests' white figures did not stop at her door, but ran past her door and plunged headlong into another street.

This caused Sylvia to breathe a long sigh of relief, and in her heart she thanked the god of light.

Not long after she got home, the sound of a large group of soldiers running came from outside, and the army also rushed over, and it seemed that the matter was not small.

Sylvia comforted her parents and daughter, covered her mouth and nose with a scarf, and carefully opened the door a crack.

The streets were filled with soldiers, each of them standing solemnly on either side of the street with their faces covered with masks and only a pair of eyes exposed.

"1st Squadron, West Side Street, 2nd Squadron, North Side Street, 3rd Squadron ......"

"Yes~!"

Outside, the shouts of the officers and the responses of the soldiers were heard, and their voices were hurried and they sounded very nervous.

"Block off the block, no one is allowed to enter or leave, remember, don't have close contact with residents, especially if you have a cough, move~!" The officer outside the door ordered loudly, and then shouted in a stern tone: "Our mission is related to the safety of the whole Ruman City, there is no hesitation and relaxation, violators, military law will be dealt with~!"

"Yes~!"

The soldiers let out a roar in unison, and then moved quickly.

Sylvia saw that a distant intersection had been blocked by soldiers with debris, and then a group of soldiers was guarding there.

Residents who had been blocked in the intersection were driven back by the soldiers from a long distance, and many of them walked out of their homes and gathered in the streets, watching helplessly as the soldiers surrounded the entire neighborhood.

They are quarantined~!

Emperor Derossi and General Merlun followed behind Hero, obediently listening to Hero's lecture like a subordinate, with a respectful attitude.

"I have made your difficulties clear, and I will make them clear to the throne of God. As for how to deal with it, listen to God's orders. The Lich Hylord said as he walked, "However, the lack of troops is indeed a practical difficulty for us.

Damn Jing Spirit Kingdom, if you dare to attack us suddenly, we will definitely teach them a profound lesson. ”

Emperor De Rossi said helplessly: "If it weren't for the defeat in the naval battle, my soldiers wouldn't have to defend Delong while delivering supplies to the front line, the task is too heavy." ”

Anyway, the blame is all on the head of the Semitic navy, and he De Rossi is also a victim, which is exactly the argument that the two men have discussed.

The navy is completely destroyed, and they are not worried that someone will jump out and refute them.

General Merlun also cursed angrily: "The Jing Spirit Kingdom is too hateful to spare them. ”

But I can't tell what it feels like in my heart.

If it weren't for Jing Ling's naval participation in the war, maybe he and the 4th Caribbean Division, together with Veraprani, would have been caught between humans and couldn't retreat, and they would have been wiped out soon.

The Vatino City is a tough battle, and what kind of virtue his Fourth Division is, General Melun knows very well in his heart.

He didn't think that if he ran up to Lorraine and said, "I'm your uncle," Lorraine wouldn't stop bombarding him.

As an eldest brother, he can get some good treatment after surrendering.

Lich Heyrode nodded and said, "Our immediate priority is to rescue the trapped Veraprani and the Semitic army. ”

Emperor De Rossi said solemnly: "Please rest assured, master, I will reorganize the army, catch up and reinforce Veraprani, even if it is a fight to the ground, I will break the enemy's encirclement~!"

Then he glanced at General Merron.

Merlun pursed his lips reluctantly, and said with a stern face: "Although our Fourth Caribbean Division lacks weapons and supplies, this is not a problem, and under the inspiration of the divine seat, we can set off at any time." ”

I secretly prayed in my heart: I am just talking, you must not take it seriously.

"Alright," said the lich Heyrod approvingly, clapping his palm, "His Majesty will be glad to hear your words, and if you want to atone for your sins, please do your best." ”

Emperor De Rossi raised his hand and swore solemnly: "I will lead the vanguard to set off." ”

Heylord the Lich was very pleased with his attitude, and said, "I will also go to Veraprani to see what he wants, and I will also bring his Majesty's plan of action, and I will tell him that His Majesty is coming to his rescue, and that he must hold on." ”

"Congratulations to the Master. Emperor De Rossi and General Melon bowed at the same time and watched as Helord walked up to the fortress of war.

Merlun stared at the war fortress of the black sè until it disappeared into the sky, then breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Emperor De Rossi and said, "Your Majesty, you don't really want to lead the army to set off, do you?"

Emperor De Rossi shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you don't show it again, the divine seat will be angry." But ......"

He changed his words and said with a sneer: "This road is more than a thousand miles away from the Vatino, and the road is full of human guerrillas, if you want to rush over in time, I can't see it~!"

Melun's eyes lit up, he arched his hand to De Rossi, and said with a smile: "Who said that it is not that, time is precious, and our fourth division is ready to go on the expedition." ”

The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and they were speechless. (To be continued.) )
