Chapter 658: White Rock City
"Hurry, enemy attack, ...... quickly," the commander shouted anxiously in the streets of a small town beneath the Endless Trench in the Ideso region.
"Fucking again. Soldiers in armor ran past the commander at a rapid pace.
Lowe, Vane, Irina, Bimoye, and dozens of other mercenaries had just arrived in the small city called White Rock. They didn't expect a battle to take place just after they came here.
"Let's go check it out, too. Wayne said.
"Let's go. The group took out their weapons and ran in the direction of the soldiers.
White Rock Castle is located in a dangerous place, backed by a large mountain, and there is only one side of the path behind the mountain that can lead to other places, and there are cliffs on both sides of the city, which is difficult to march, and has a natural defensive advantage, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. But this is already the fourth offensive launched by the Santa VickΓ©a side today.
"Hurry up, enter the fortifications, the most haode marksman will be on the arrow tower, the rest will go up the city wall, the shield guards will go out of the city wall to meet these damn guys, and the cavalry in the city will be ready to attack!"
The soldiers, who were doing their jobs, did as they were told.
When they came to the city wall, they were stopped: "Who are you, you can't go up to the wall?" β
Vane said: "We are mercenaries from China, and we are here to help. β
The general said: "Mercenaries go to the war room to report and be incorporated into the volunteer army to participate in the war." β
"What?"
The general said, "I'm sorry, but we're also trying to prevent the enemy's tricks from getting in. β
"What to do?" Vane asked.
A mercenary said: "Damn, I came all the way to participate in the battle." β
Bimoyer said: "I didn't expect it to be so strict. β
At this time, the shouts of killing outside the city wall were already shaking the sky, and from time to time you could still see the enemy air cavalry flying in the sky, but soon there were your own air cavalry to meet them.
The general said: "You go farther, I don't have time to greet you now." He jumped up to the city wall in a few steps, drew his saber and shouted: "Open the city gates, cavalry charge!"
Hundreds of cavalrymen gathered in front of the city gates raised their swords and shouted to boost morale. With a squeak, several soldiers quickly shook the pulleys, and the metal iron gate of White Rock City slowly rose.
"Charge!" shouted the leading cavalry, and all the knights roared and rushed out of the city.
"Damn it. Vane clenched his fists and said, "When I hear the voice, my blood boils, but I can't go to war." β
Luo Dao: "Let's hurry up and report for duty." β
"Hmm. β
White Rock City is not big, and the war room is located northwest of the city, so it was quickly found. At this time, there were not many people coming out of this small stone house building.
βzhanzhuγ The guard at the door stopped them again: "Do you have a pass?"
Wayne said impatiently: "We are here to sign up for the Volunteer Army. β
The guard said expressionlessly, "Please wait a minute, there is a meeting going on inside." β
At this time, a non-commissioned officer in a cloak hurriedly ran towards the war room.
"Wave ...... Podala?" Irina shouted.
The man glanced at them, ignored them, hurriedly showed his pass, and rushed into the war room.
Luo Dao: "Do you know that person?"
"I'm not sure either. Irina said to Vane, "That person is Podala, right?"
Vane shook his head and said, "I can't see it anymore." β
In the war room, a middle-aged man in his thirties was sitting at the long conference table and discussing something with the other three people next to him.
Potala said: "The enemy has about 2,000 men in this attack. β
"Only two thousand?"
A big man next to him slapped the table and said, "Fuck, it's impossible for two thousand people to take down our city." β
Another said: "Obviously they continued the fatigue tactics and gave us no time to rest. β
The big man said: "Their fatigue tactics of attacking in multiple points will not only give our soldiers in the city no time to rest, but the soldiers on our support line will also be exhausted, and they will be dragged down sooner or later." β
The third man: "General Langdon, now that you are our supreme commander here, do you have any way?"
General Langdon, the former Seventh Army of the Western Front of the Demon Moon Empire, Adjutant of General Edward, was promoted to the deputy general of the Seventh Army's Operational Command for his military exploits. ,
The big man slapped the table and said, "What's the solution?" In my opinion, we just fight with them, we will take 5,000 soldiers directly to their city, we can't always stay in the city and be beaten, I can't stand this bird anger." β
"No, I can't. Langdon firmly rejected this opinion, waved his hand and motioned for Podala to go down first, and then continued: "General Edward was killed because he took the initiative to attack the ambush of the enemy's army, and I was clearly against this at the time. And now there are no 5,000 soldiers in the city, and only 4,000 are wounded. White Rock City is an important defensive stronghold, the geographical situation is very favorable to us, here we can 4,000 people can block the attack of 10,000 or 20,000 enemy troops, if this city is lost, the enemy can take the back mountain path to attack the main battle area from the side, then General Ruhr's side will be dangerous. We must not be presumptuous and carried away by anger. β
The second human: "I agree with General Langdon's opinion, White Rock City must not be lost, this is not only related to our survival, but also related to the entire battle situation, you can't afford this responsibility." β
The big man roared and said: "Then what should we do? If we are always guarding here and being beaten, we will be dragged down sooner or later, and the enemy's tactical goal is very clear, and as soon as our defense line is leaked, the enemy will seize the opportunity to tear open this hole." β
"I can't think of a good way to do it. General Langdon said: "What we can do now is to continue to strengthen the fortifications, and we must not lose this city before domestic reinforcements arrive, and then we have to wait for the new commander appointed by General Ruhr to come, maybe he can do something." β
The big man said: "Wait, wait, wait, when will we go?" Now that the enemy's 700,000 reinforcements have arrived at the front line, we haven't even seen a shadow of our domestic reinforcements so far." Now, if they only need to prepare a little and attack in a big way, we will not be able to resist it at all. β
The second human: "I don't think the Santa Vicktian side would dare to do this." β
"What do you think? β
The second person did not agree with him and said: "Although there are more than 800,000 troops on the St. Vickya front, there are also more than 200,000 and close to 300,000 on our side. And our defense line is basically built according to the natural dangers of the Vulcan Mountains, and if they want to fight hard to achieve results, it is almost impossible to dispatch more than 500,000 troops. And the Volkan region they are now occupying is in a wasteland that is not conducive to defense, and it is relatively easy for us to take it down, they must be worried that we will be surrounded by General Ruhr if we attack in a big way, and once the attack is unfavorable, we will not be able to break our defense line in time, and as long as we send 100,000 troops to attack them and defend them, they are likely to fall into the dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, and this risk is too great, and they should not do this. And even if they take 10,000 steps back and occupy our 'Trench' defense line, this defense line is an important place in our hands, but it is a Jedi in their hands. The reason why we can rely on the Vulcan Mountains is because our large rear is the country, and if it is in their hands, our large rear is the first line of their war, and as long as we occupy their rear, we can carry out a two-sided attack with the domestic army, which is also the choice of General Weishenme Ruhr to abandon the Volkan region, which is not easy to defend, and retreat to the Vulcan Mountains in the Idso district. β
The big man was angry and said, "Anyway, according to what you say, you just can't attack." β
Langdon said: "Everything will wait for domestic reinforcements and the new commander to arrive." β
Outside the war room.
"Podala, it's really you. β
Podala smiled and hugged Irina and Vaen.
"He's my hometown classmate, Edlaide Podala. β
"From Silverleaf City, Sherman Province?"
Irina smiled, "He's my friend Pyro Lowe and Christine Bimoyer, these are the mercenaries of our team and our Yujian on the road. β
"It's a pleasure to meet you. Podala shook hands with them.
Vane punched Potala and laughed, "It's been a long time, you look more manly than before, your skin is dark, and you still have scars on your hands." β
Irina said, "Zuihou saw you once and was still in Silver Leaf City, right?"
"It's in Theliberes. Potala said, "You forgot that time you went to apply for the Kurantin exam, and I also went, and in a square I asked to help you repair your armor but you refused. (See the first few chapters of volume I.) οΌ
Irina recalled: "Oh yes, yes, yes. β
Podara smiled: "I didn't pass the exam that time, so I had to go back, and you and Cornelia were all admitted, and this incident made me sad for a long time, especially since even Vane was actually admitted." β
Speaking of Cornelia, several people were a little sad.
Potala said: "Don't talk about this, do you want to participate in the war as mercenaries?"
Vane nodded: "That's right, but I heard that there are still some volunteers to join." β
Podala said, "Yes. I'll take you there, it's not far from here. β
Luo asked, "Aren't you going to fight? β
"No, I don't. Podala said, "I am under the command of the operation, and I am only responsible for defending this place. The enemy's attack this time is only to harass them, and they will soon retreat. β
"Oh. β
"Come with me. β
