The new army, led by Lorraine, set up camp a few miles from the small town of Pjaska.

While it was still early in the morning, the soldiers were encamped, and Lorraine led a group of officers to leave the camp and come to a high ground not far away. Look out over the town not far away.

He took out a monocular, held it up in front of his eyes, and expertly adjusted it.

Immediately, I saw that the blurred city in the distance gradually became clear in the mirror tube.

There, that's his goal...

The port of Prisca Ferry, one of the most important towns of the Almohad Empire.

Behind it, there is a wide white line that crosses the sky from west to east, that is, the Zamibiya River, which is constantly turbulent and rushes to the sea.

The Zamibiya River is a large river and a seasonal river, with abundant water volume in summer and autumn Chapter 1012 Vortex Center (ask for a monthly ticket), and both banks are prone to flooding.

Only in the Prisca River does the river suddenly become wider, and the current is gentle all year round, making it suitable for ferrying. It can allow people to calmly cross this gulf by boat.

For hundreds of years, the port of Prisca has been a transportation node between the north and south of Almohd, an artery for land and water transportation, a commercial port, and one of the few land and water transshipment terminals in Almohd.

Its status and importance are almost equal to that of the port of Hafs. It undertakes the heavy responsibility of transshipment of goods from north to south.

Here, there are 20,000 or 30,000 residents who depend on the river for their livelihood.

Due to the huge transit transportation, it also brings huge business opportunities here.

Although the city is not large, it can still be called prosperous, which can be seen from the buildings of the small city Ran, almost all of them are brick and stone structures, which are not shabby at all.

Moreover, after several months of hard work by the southern rebels led by General Haddou, the current small city of Prisca has been transformed into a purely military fortress.

The rammed wall had been raised thirty feet high, and a wooden fence with a thick bowl mouth was inserted on top of it.

Soldiers could be seen faintly walking around the city walls.

Under the wall is a deep ditch formed by taking soil, although the distance is still far away, you can't see how deep it is, but Chapter 1012 Vortex Center (Asking for a Monthly Pass) As long as you look at the amount of earthwork taken out next to it, you can know that once you jump down, if you want to climb up again, you need a lot of effort.

Moreover, Lord Lorraine also had reason to believe that there was not only water in that deep ditch, but also that the bottom of the ditch must have been covered with bamboo sticks or sticks with sharp tops. As long as a person steps on it, it is definitely either death or injury. The end is unusually sinister and vicious.

Back then, when Archduke Julius and Haddu took their younger brothers to fight in a group, he suffered a lot in this regard. On this expedition, in order to clean up the damn old fox, he also deliberately summed up his previous experience in fighting with General Haddou, wrote a combat manual, and printed and distributed it to the whole army.

All above the non-commissioned officer is one copy per person.

As soon as it was launched, it was welcomed and loved by the vast number of officers and men. Let that old guy also make a lot of money for the manuscript.

Lorraine turned her binoculars and looked at the river.

I saw that on the surface of the river, the white sails were dotted, almost covering the entire route.

Those were all boats that went back and forth.

Due to the current high fighting in the north, most of those ships have been requisitioned for military use.

All of them were hung with the banners of the Southern rebels.

And it can be seen that the ships coming north were noticeably heavy and slow, apparently loaded with cargo.

The ships heading south, however, were mostly light and swift, apparently empty.

From this, it can be clearly judged that they are transporting all kinds of military supplies to the fort.

Lorraine couldn't help but groan, and it was obvious that the enemy was in a posture that wanted to hold on.

He sighed deeply, and secretly said in his heart: This job is not easy to do~!

Not only to attack the city, but also to really take it down, but also to appear to be really powerless, this play is a bit difficult to do, but fortunately, there is a big tail falling on the back, and they can be pulled out to do the play when needed.

I hope my bait is sweet enough to catch that Haddou guy. In this way, the war can be ended twice as quickly.

Although there is no news from the High Priest of the Undead, it is like a hedgehog in the crotch of his pants, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.

After that trip to the demons, Lorraine has fully realized the powerful war mobilization power of the demons. And the sheer number of lichs that almost obscured the sky.

And that's only part of the power that the High Priest of the Dead has revealed. You must know that in order to attack the Terrans, he has accumulated a thousand years of strength.

Although it has not yet erupted, it can be imagined that once it erupts, it will inevitably be a collapse of the sky and the earth, and the mountains and rivers will change color~!

Although he didn't want to admit it, he clearly knew that the flame of human civilization was already in turmoil.

Only by ending this war as soon as possible can we turn around, accumulate every strength, seriously deal with the upcoming frenzy of demons and undead, and guard human civilization as much as possible.

Thinking of this, Lorraine's heart couldn't help but become heavy.

He slowly lowered his binoculars, then rubbed his tired eyes and turned his head to look north.

Although the sky was calm, there was no sign at all, but according to the agreement,

At this time, the remaining tens of thousands of new troops in the hands of Queen Isabella had rested and recuperated, and had begun to launch a fierce offensive against the occupied area, seizing the city and driving out the rebel army. oppress their living space.

All sorts of chaotic fronts have been created to cover up the large-scale movement of peacekeeping forces.

The Lao He troops are also taking advantage of the exercise to constantly move their positions and send the regiments that have completed their training to the south.

At this moment, the peacekeepers, the New Army, the rebels, the Haddou Ministry, all the forces in Almohad, have all been mixed together, forming a huge vortex.

And the center of this vortex is the small city in front of you.

The Prisca Ferry will be the center of this campaign.

The ownership of this place will determine the victory or defeat of the entire battle~!

General Hassel also immediately stood on the top of the hill, looked at the Prisca Ferry in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "According to the news from the secret agents, although Haddou has been hoarding grain and grass in the city, he has not increased his troops.

At present, all the troops in the city are still Haddou's two legions from the province of Winter, and the general in command of them, a guy named Patar.

We know very little about the origin of this man, except that he worked under Haddou.

Lorraine couldn't help but look back at him in surprise.

General Hassel couldn't help but smile bitterly, spread his hands helplessly, and explained: "Originally, all officers above the rank of lieutenant should have been registered with the military department. But because of that incident two years ago. The military headquarters also suddenly caught fire, and all the materials of the Southern Army were destroyed. So ......"

Lorraine glanced at him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

A young officer next to him whispered recklessly, "What happened two years ago?"

…”

But before Hua finished speaking, he was immediately covered by the person next to him.

Lorraine glanced back angrily: Grandma's, whose puppy is so uninteresting?

What could have been the incident two years ago?

Isn't it that Lord Luo raised troops to attack the Almohad Empire and cleaned up their backstabs?

This matter is a very face-raising and honor-worthy thing for the lord, but many of these officers around him are from Almohad. Although their boss is Her Majesty the Queen, after all, saying it in person is also very face-saving.

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

Lorraine couldn't help but cough lightly, and then pretended not to hear the little officer's words at all, pointed to the opposite town with self-care, and said loudly: "Judging from the city defense, this person is still very disciplined. Since we're all here, let's say hello to our neighbors, or we'll be less welcoming. ”

General Hassel also pretended to be nothing, smiled slightly, and said, "As you wish."

Earl. ”

He waved his hand to the people behind him and ordered in a loud voice, "Bunnies, we heard Lord Lorraine's words, let's go and say hello to Haddou's gang of pups."

"Yes, my lord~!" the officers of the new army said loudly in agreement, and then turned their horses' heads, jumped their horses and whipped their horses, and in a moment rushed down the dirt slope.

After a while, the whining trumpet sounded.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people inside and outside the city, the soldiers of the New Army, shirtless, shouted trumpets and pushed their artillery to about 800 meters from Prisca City.

This distance was barely accurate for the gunners of the New Army, and if it was farther, they would basically rely on the blind.

Thousands of soldiers also followed the artillery, moving to the front of the formation, protecting the sides of the artillery position.

Then, under the watchful eye of the soldiers of Vanhadou on the city wall, the artillerymen began to dig gun emplacements, arrange positions, and be busy.

Lorraine looked at the New Army artillerymen who were busy in the distance, and said to Hasser: "I'll go to the front and take a look, you can keep an eye here." ”

Hassell, despite his embarrassed look, finally nodded.

Lorraine rode through the camp of the Forces nouvelles and trotted all the way to the artillery position, where before he could hear a roar.

"Hurry up, hurry up, girls, my grandmother is doing it faster than you. ”

"You bunnies, it's been a month, and you can't even beat a fixed pile, are you all pig brains?"

"Unload the frame of the army wagon, don't you understand the words? I'll let you unload the frame of the new army, you pull the horse and a fart~!"

Lorraine smiled unconsciously, and the people who were shouting loudly were all artillery instructors of the peacekeeping forces.

Under their command, the artillerymen of the Forces nouvelles were scrambling to build artillery positions.

The instructors grabbed the ears of the recruits and yelled at them, and from time to time they kicked them impatiently.

The artillerymen of the New Army, who were actually on the battlefield for the first time, worked desperately at a speed beyond the ordinary level to the roars they were already familiar with.

Near them, several black-clad security army soldiers were squatting behind the artillery position, laughing and reading jokes, and nodded slightly when they saw Lorraine coming.

The role of the security forces is to supervise the use of Almohad Forces nouvelles artillery and, when they deem it necessary, to destroy all artillery and ammunition before the artillery falls into enemy hands.

Under the curses and urging of the instructors, the artillery positions were quickly laid out.

The artillerymen quickly loaded, took aim, and fired towards Prisca's city.

At this moment, the city of Prisca was full of Haddou's soldiers, and they were all watching the actions of the new army intently.

When a puff of smoke suddenly rose from the muzzle of the artillery, the soldiers on the city wall instinctively felt the danger, reflexively shrunk their necks, and hid behind the female wall.

Then came a dull rumbling sound, like a thunderclap in the distance.

Then there was another loud bang, and the bold poked his head out of the female wall, and saw that not far from the city wall, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose rapidly, and the ground seemed to have been smashed into a small pit.

Looking at the effect of this cannon, Lorraine pursed his lips, it was far from it.

The instructor was so angry that he grabbed the collar of the New Army soldier and scolded him, spitting at Xingzi and spraying him all over his face, and finally ordered loudly: "Increase it by one degree." ”

The artillery adjusted its angle, and the artillery officer stared at the rebels on the city wall and spat on the ground, waved his hand, and shouted: "Give me those bitches." ”

Fifteen guns opened fire in turn, and a thick white cannon suddenly rose, enveloping the entire artillery position.

The sound of "boom" shook the ground nearby.

This time, most of the shells hit the city wall, deep into the rammed earth, and then there was a violent explosion, and a large crater was blown out of the wall in a muffled thunderous sound.

There were even two shells that hit the city, and in the light of the explosion, fragments of a limb rose into the air.

After the first victory, the artillerymen of the New Army shouted excitedly.

Although these artillerymen were recruits, they were selected from good families loyal to Queen Isabella, and from the beginning of becoming artillerymen, they were told that the queen had high hopes for them, and these people were the elite of the elite of the new army, the gods of the battlefield, and the key to determining the outcome of the war in the future.

Looking at the weapons in their hands, for the first time on the battlefield, the excitement of the artillery of the new army was like a child who got his favorite toy.

Without waiting for the instructor's order, the artillerymen immediately went into action, reset the guns, cleaned the chambers, loaded the shells and opened fire as soon as they were aimed.

The rebels on the opposite side were stunned by the first round of shelling. For the first time, they had seen something that could blow people up when it fell to the ground.

While they were still in a daze, the shells from the second round of shelling had already reached their heads, and there was another explosion mixed with fire, smoke, and dust.

In the explosion, a group of rebel soldiers fell from the top of the city like dumplings.

It was clear that there was no safety on the walls, and at this time there was no need to be said, and the rebel soldiers immediately shouted and pushed each other and crowded down the city.

The artillery of the New Army is getting more and more excited, and this kind of pure bullying without worrying about their chance of fighting back is the first time that the soldiers of the New Army have encountered it.

Even the soldiers on both sides cheered loudly.

Whenever a shell exploded on the top of the city and several rebel soldiers were blown away, the Forces nouvelles would shout in unison.

When the shells hit the city walls, splashing only a cloud of dust, the soldiers would point in the direction of the artillery and curse.

Lorraine took a few steps back early and left the range of the artillery.

The cannon looked enjoyable, but in fact, the artillery in front of him was very uncomfortable, and the violent roar shook the chest of the soldiers near the artillery.

There was also the choking smell of gunpowder, and the artillerymen had to shout close to the ears of their comrades so that the other side could hear what they were saying.

Behind the artillery position gathered a large group of officers, all dressed in the uniforms of the Forces nouvelles, mostly Rumans. It was also the first time they had seen the power of artillery, and they crowded in front of them curiously to watch.

Seeing that it was Lorraine, the New Army officer next to him was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to salute, and instantly held back.

Lorraine's current identity is just an ordinary officer of the new army, and it is not far from the rebels, in order to prevent the rebels from seeing the flaws, Lorraine has specially explained, so that they don't have to salute when they see themselves.

The officer finally nodded and said in a low voice, "I've seen adults." ”

Lorraine felt that this person was a little familiar, thought about it for a moment, and said, "Don't be angry, General Helier. ”

This man was the commander of one of the two legions sent by the New Army, and his troops were said to be relatively capable of fighting in the New Army.

General Helier hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your help to our new army two months ago. ”

Lorraine said suspiciously, "Two months ago, what did you mean?"

General Helier smiled bitterly and said, "Thanks to the fact that your Excellency persuaded us to change our tactics at that time, our brothers in the new army can have a chance to breathe. ”

Lorraine suddenly realized that when the headquarters of the peacekeeping force had just arrived in the imperial city, under the construction of Lorraine and Grand Duke Julian, the new army changed its tactics of fighting for every inch of land, and changed to space for time and retreat in exchange for geographical advantage.

General Helier let out a long sigh and said, "The big men in the headquarters are sitting in the imperial city, shouting that every inch of land is sacred, how hard do you think of how hard the brothers on the front line are fighting. After six months of fighting, two major defeats, and thousands of miles of battles, without a good repair in between. At that time, the brothers had only one breath left.

Hold on for a few more days, and before the rebels come to fight, we will collapse ourselves. ”

Lorraine nodded silently. The new army was overstretched, and there were two defeats in succession, and Queen Isabella still insisted on fighting with the rebels for an inch of land, and the soldiers of the new army were naturally used for two.

The rear does not understand the "true" situation on the front line, and will only take it for granted to give death orders, in fact, this is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst.

General Helier smiled and said, "With the construction of the adults, we have a chance to breathe. This time, we'll have to get revenge on them for their revenge on the city of Middleburg. Seeing that he had made a strong enough impression on the rebels, Hassell duly ordered the shelling to stop. After all, every shot counts as money.

A large group of cavalry galloped out of the camp in the rear, whistling in front of Prisca with the Almohad flag, in order to demonstrate to the rebels in the city, while the head of Prisca was silent.

The Forces nouvelles finally raised their eyebrows in front of Haddou's men for a while, and every time they faced Haddou's army, the final result was a great defeat.

Over time, the new army has a psychological shadow of Haddou, thinking that they may never be able to defeat Haddou, that person is too godly.

Seeing that this time they actually fled, the wolf beaten by the enemy was so frightened that they didn't even dare to take the risk, the new officers and men swept away the declining situation that had been all the time, their morale was greatly boosted, and they were ready to find the rebels to settle the accounts for the past year.

Having won this battle, it was time for them to chase the rebels and cut them off behind the buttocks.

As a result of Vera's reconnaissance that night, Haddou in the south still did not move, and it seemed that he did not care at all about the impending attack of Prisca.

Early the next morning, after a full breakfast, the Forces nouvelles again launched their cannons and bombarded the walls of Priska.

After a burst of artillery preparation, the new army, under the cover of artillery, began its first tentative offensive. ！！！
