615 Attack on Leming City (1)
The news of the defeat in the battle of the mountain road reached the city of Leming, north of Salander, and a vase with a noble decoration became the defender of the city of Leming, and the Marquis of Bolang Javier was the victim of his anger.
While scolding Duke Brent, who had completely reversed the entire northern form, for being a super idiot, he angrily ordered the whole army to prepare for battle,
The city of Leming is the closest city to Hutu Beien in the north, stationed with 2 main Mamunuk's knight legions and 4,000 archers, and is the most important forward line of defense against the northern army.
In the past, with the backing of Kuronze's main force, the Marquis of Brandon Javier in Lyming City could still show off his might, even if he had been pressed to the door of the house by the other party, he was not in a hurry.
But this time is different, the 20,000 Mamunouk knights who rely on the most in the defense line were served in the Rolling Thunder Mountain Road, if it weren't for the fact that Brent saw the opportunity and quickly gave up the insufficient troops of Kuronze, maybe even the last bit of soup would be swallowed by the Vikia cavalry who followed the pursuit, and the northern war situation fell into the brink of collapse because of this battle, losing the Kuronze that connected to the rear, and the Leming City in front of the position was like a rat that was pinched at both ends of the pipe at the same time, and he was so angry that he wanted to kill
The sun in April is not fierce, the mountains are full of flowers dotted with this beautiful land, Lyming City is actually a fortress, because it is located in the hub of the central north, most of the merchants choose to trade with the northern lord here, after a long time, it has formed a small town, with the rise of the northern Vic Lord, it has become a lot of sparse here
Especially in this eventful autumn of the war, the caravans will subconsciously avoid this important point of the war, the light gray castle stones seem to be lonely and want to smoke, only the emerald vines on it can still see some vitality,
In order to increase the pressure on Salander's northern defense line, the Northern Army composed of Salander natives led by Nilai in early April sent troops to Hutu Beien in accordance with the instructions of the fat man, and the troops pointed directly at the front line of Leming City, but did not take an immediate attack, but camped outside Leming City, and continued to absorb new soldiers along the way, and in just over half a month, about 20,000 troops were gathered, plus the Walkus Banner Regiment of the Southern Army of Vecchia who rushed from Lazar City, the strength of the front has reached 26,000 people
It had only rained heavily last night, and the land outside the city smelled of fresh earth, and under the sunlight, it evaporated with bursts of faint white smoke, and from a distance, it seemed that the earth was smoking. The light smoke drifted up with the breeze, making the surrounding qiē illusory, like a fairyland on earth described in the novel.
Many of the newly recruited soldiers of the Northern Army were mostly lazily lying on the grass and enjoying the beautiful scenery of spring. Especially the new warriors who had only recently been recruited from the Salanders, who had not been on the battlefield and had not seen blood, and the coming war would inevitably lead to their nervousness, and they desperately needed something to divert their attention and prepare for the coming great war.
And this beautiful fairyland in front of them could undoubtedly reduce their nervousness and uneasiness, so those infantry captains with combat experience did not particularly hinder them.
But these ethereal smoke and cool winds were annoying things for Navy rangefinder Riske. The light smoke stretches his ethereal body on the surface of the beautiful land, and at the same time, it inevitably reduces the visibility ahead. In the distance, the city of Leming was already built more specially, a protruding flat-roofed building perimeter, surrounded by a circle of large and small houses, in the white fog, the square-shaped city wall loomed
"Wind, wind, wind. Utukul subconsciously muttered continuously, hoping that a strong wind would blow away all the pesky smoke. But the infantry squadron leader standing next to him clearly had the wrong idea, and he hurriedly ordered someone to find a wide hat and fan the young rangefinder. There is no superior officer posture at all,
You must know that an excellent naval rangefinder is the core soul of the Dragon's Tooth Battleship, and their proficiency and reaction ability directly determine the attack speed and attack strategy of the entire Dragon's Tooth Ship, even the captain of the Dragon's Tooth Ship must also give orders according to the rangefinder's report, not to mention that this is also an instructor of the Navy Rangefinder,
Utukul was a young man with a somewhat dark face, and he laughed with two dark red patches, which were the traces left by the sea breeze all year round, and it was he who set a brilliant record in the Battle of Dyrance to sink the Dyrance Navy assault ship with the first shell, which severely damaged the Dylans Navy's sharpness and exuberance
Two years later, the young gunner's face was a little more mature and steady, and he was transferred from the regular fleet to the privateer fleet in Dustrenke, where he was responsible for training artillery rangefinders
Flattered by the fact that an infantry squadron leader was fanning himself, he hurriedly stopped the act with a stammering language. If he didn't, he would have to be beaten up if the rest of his Army brothers found out.
"It's okay!" The squadron leader with a smile on his lips is called Rio Hans, a heavy siege squadron leader of the Walkus Banner Regiment, "Tomorrow is the siege of the city, my squadron is arranged in the ranks, and the adults above say that this siege battle will be put into the latest siege Thor, it is said that as long as you adjust the number of jù, you can destroy most of the city walls at once"
Rio Hans's voice stopped, and the only eye blinked, "They say you are the best gunners in the navy, and Thor knows this weapon better than us, I don't know if it's true?"
"I don't know!" Utukul looked at the squadron leader who smiled shy at him with an apologetic face, "I'm just a rangefinder of the navy, this time I'm here to carry out a mission, I'm usually the Thor on the Dragon's Tooth ship, but it's never as powerful as you say, a strong fortress like the other side, I estimate that even a hundred shells cannonballs can't achieve the effect you said, at most it's just a stump from some weak position!"
"yes, that'...... That's a pity!" The squadron leader had some disappointment on his face, and it was clear that this was an experienced fighter, and years of frost and brutal fighting had left an unforgettable mark on him, he was a burly man with sharp eyes. Walking with a tiger, he is definitely the kind of person who is daunting. He had only one eye, and the other eye had no eyeballs, only fleshy sockets, which added to the fear of the others.
But. Ever since the feared Cyclops Squadron Leader was newly married two months ago, he had become much gentler. If you meet him before he gets married, you will know how the scars on the squadron leader's body came from, and look at the calluses on both hands that can't even be cut by a knife, it is smashed with a heavy battering ram, "bloody hands" is talking about this kind of person,
"I heard that you wanted to be an army officer, how did you become a navy?" The squadron leader named Rio Hans suddenly asked for no reason, but the sharp eyes showed that he was not joking. This couldn't help but make the young Utukul feel nervous. The face was a little embarrassed,
"I ...... I changed my mind later," Utukul replied shyly and honestly, feeling as if his face was feverish. What are you kidding, who doesn't know, when it comes to the Vekia army, it basically refers to the Vekia Army, as for the navy, it can only be occasionally mentioned under certain circumstances, this is the current mainstream thinking on the mainland, whether the navy is strong, it is also floating on the sea, can it still drive a warship to the land?
Every time he talked about it, he felt a little embarrassed.
Utukul is a typical southerner of Wikia, who moved to the coastal areas of the south due to famine and war, and there are six brothers alone, he is the largest, and the younger brothers below are all when they are older.
When they first moved here, their family had almost nothing, almost all their supplies were collected by the local lords, and even the last bit of wheat seed was mercilessly plundered.
If Samoor hadn't broken the Dardanelles' rule in the south and taken over a depressed southern coast, the family would have starved to death.
Because of this, Riske is grateful to the Samorish army.
The Samor army has a high salary, good benefits, and perfect security, so he naturally chose to join the army. As an orthodox person. He prefers to be a traditional army man, and it is much easier to be a good crossbowman than an artillery rangefinder.
Crossbowmen only need to train hard and be disciplined to meet the requirements of their superiors. But artillery observers, but need to have a high degree of keen observation and quick calculation and judgment, these are completely two different things, even the treatment is very different, a skilled crossbowman can only be regarded as an elite soldier in the army, an excellent level 3 artillery striker is equivalent to the identity of a squad leader,
For example, the current Utukul is actually no less than this squadron leader, and his entry into the little-known Vekia Navy was a complete accident, because during the boot camp, Utukul boasted to his companions that he threw stones far and accurately, and demonstrated on the spot that he could easily use a stone to enter a small wooden barrel 50 meters away,
Lidakus, who was having a headache for the selection of naval gunners at that time, took a fancy to him, and with a big stroke, this poor fellow was assigned to report to the naval port, which was only a grass platform team at that time, and was very ridiculed by other companions, and sometimes, even Utukul inevitably felt that he was completely unlucky!
"Actually, the navy is not bad! In Salander, the prestige of your navy is greater than that of the army!"
Jorihans warmly patted the somewhat frustrated Jorihans on the shoulder. He said hoarsely but powerfully.
He didn't know the young rangefinder and didn't know how to appreciate him, he just wanted to give him enough encouragement to do his job. The Great War was coming, and the young man's somewhat emaciated shoulders carried a full 26,000 pairs of eyes
"Thank you, sir!"
Utukul replied with some nervousness, you know, the main squadron like Rio Hans often has more than 1,200 people, and it is difficult for the entire dragon tooth ship to have more than 100 people even if even the captain is on board.
In Utukul's simple heart, this Rio Hans squadron leader is a big man in charge of ten dragon tooth ships,
Completely unaware that if it really counts, this squadron leader should call himself a commander
