MTL - Black Iron’s Glory-Chapter 504 Two battlefields
Chapter 504, two battlefields
"I understand, I understand, isn't it confidential?" The old town of Ximu Town, Zucker, leaned his head and leaned his head, and crossed his hands in his sleeves and walked toward the town office. The rainy season has just ended, the ground is very wet and slippery. If you can, Old Zick is really unwilling to go out, just as he is not willing to be the mayor.
But there is no way, Dagong sent people to understand the situation, he can only come forward as the mayor. Entertaining these eager ambassadors to eat and drink, explain the movements of the strange light cavalry in Ximu Town two days ago, and report the situation of the light cavalry troops collecting food and horses in the town. He also presented the list of collected materials and receipts handed over to him by the troops. This is a proof that can be used to offset the tax paid by Ximu Town.
The messengers thought that this should be a light cavalry unit that carried out secret mobilization tasks, so they bypassed the Grand Duke of Ephninesburg and did not enter the city to disturb the Grand Duke. This is also a place where Dagong is unhappy. As a member of the National Alliance in the Eastern Region, the movement of the troops in the Alliance not only does not inform him, but even does not come in and visit through his castle. This is very rude and makes Dagong angry. It is clear that the commander of this unit did not put the grandfather in his eyes...
However, the messengers got good news from the old Zucker, that is, the commander of the light cavalry unit that passed the previous two days said that they were the first troops, and in a few days there were big men and horses coming. I believe that the commander of this follow-up force will visit Dagong at that time and let Dagong be happy. Perhaps the commander will tell the Grand Duke, what is the purpose of their military mobilization and their number, and now it is not revealed that the identity of Lao Zike is too low for confidentiality.
So the messengers started their own hands after eating and drinking. They caught more than a dozen chickens and geese in Ximu Town and went back. Now the entire Principality of Siddings is so terrible that it is impossible to expect Old Zuck to give the messengers a confession. If it wasn’t for the old Zike’s farm in Ximu Town, if you got some agricultural products to sell in Efenasburg, you could pay the tax collected by the Grand Duke. If you can barely survive the days, then he would not be the mayor. ....
Every time these Dagong messengers came over and raided in the town, Laozik believed to return to the town office, and the townspeople who had been arrested for their chickens and geese were already waiting for him to compensate. The big ambassadors of the idiots did not understand that the eggs they had caught by a chicken goose were often a source of salt and needles for a month in a town. For them, just go to the countryside and take a trip to the tooth festival...
Fortunately, I have already warned the townspeople that there should be no action when the messengers arrest the chickens and geese. The cold-eyed view is that he will give compensation when he sends the messengers back. Otherwise, if the townspeople want to guard their chickens and geese, then waiting for them may be the end of the family. Old Zucker has been to Efenasburg many times. He has seen the relatives of these big men flying in the unscrupulous horses on the streets of the castle. The people who can't dodge are beaten and beaten. These messengers are all big and cronies, and the consequences of offending them will be very miserable.
I remembered that when the messengers left, they also shut up and were not allowed to disclose any of the light cavalry units that had passed the previous two days. Old Zuck felt very ridiculous. Isn't it that military mobilization needs to be kept secret? He is not a child. It is natural to be clear about this, and he has no interest in what the light cavalry unit is going to do. Although this light cavalry unit was a bit weird and its performance was somewhat abnormal, but the old Zike did not say anything to the Dagong messengers...
Sometimes, Zucker felt that without the words of the Principality of Siddings, the days would be more comfortable. In the war in the eastern region, the Grand Duke of Xidins went out, the Principality perished, and then was divided into new occupations. The people of all the Principalities became civilians in the Kingdom of Ovilas. Old Zucker did not have any feelings about his change of identity. He believed that no matter who ruled Ximu Town, residents who needed to pay taxes were required.
In fact, he guessed it. Ximu Town came to an aristocrat-appointed official who was responsible for the taxation of residents in Ximu Town. The tax rate is not high for the residents of the town, 30%. The old Zucker’s farm also relied on the good times of those years to save some of the family. And a year later, the town had a labor force of nearly a thousand people, and the road to Effinia was rebuilt, but the workers seemed to be miserable...
Then I wondered why I had to fight again. The soldiers came from the town, shot the official in front of the town office, and then took away the property stored in the town office. After they left, there was no one in Ximu Town, and the townspeople recommended Lao Zike as the temporary mayor. After three years, the Grand Duke of Westings came back, and the Principality of Westings also reinstated, so the tax rate in Ximu Town doubled from 30% to 60%. There are a lot of labor assigned.
Since the beginning of the previous year, Grand Daddy has said that he wants revenge, so he has added a war tax. In the first half of last year, the young and strong in the town were recruited. In the second half of the year, they were recruited again. The 16-year-old boy and the 40-year-old middle-aged were also forcibly taken away. Now Ximu Town is old and weak, and there is no green male. So sometimes Zucker is thinking, if the Grand Duke of Siddings didn’t come back, the tax rate is very light, and no one will force the young and strong in the town to fight.
Life has to continue. After two days, the old Zick got up early and put on two ox carts in the farm. The car was full of early morning wives and hired peasant women who had just picked and dew. Cabbage, ready to be sent to Effingasburg for sale. When he and his helper squatted on a ox cart and approached Efenasburg, he found that the road was blocked by a force. This unit should be the follow-up brigade of the light cavalry unit that passed through Ximu Town a few days ago, because they all wore the same brown-gray military uniform.
An officer brought two soldiers to the old Zucker and Mark, and both Zucker and Mark were not afraid. A few days ago they had contacted the army's leading troops. Although they were mysterious but well disciplined, they camped outside the town and only sent a few officers to bring the soldiers into the town to collect him for grain and horses. During the period, I went out and bought a few pigs, goats, chickens and geese. I paid the cash. I didn’t commit any crimes against the poultry and livestock that the town’s people raised, and did not sneak into the town’s home.
The officer just came to check what was on the two carriages of Old Zucker and Mark. After discovering that it was a cabbage, he also tore the leaves and put them in his mouth. He thought it was sweet and sweet, and the quality of the cabbage was very good. Old Zick was very happy. He decided to send a few cabbages to the officer. The officer did not say anything. Old Zike said that he had just dealt with the other two days, and he was welcome.
The officer was stunned. Old Zike said that your leading troops had just passed our town a few days ago, or I helped them collect the grain to be collected. So the officer asked Lao Zike what was going on. When the old Zike finished, the officer laughed and said that since he is an old acquaintance, I will help you too. You don’t have to send things to the city for sale. We packed two cabbages.
Soon the soldiers sent by the officer brought a chubby veteran to come over. The veteran looked very satisfied with the cabbage and gave the old Zike a very good price, or a cash transaction. Old Zuck asked the fat veterans that they still need calories, and there are five or six such carts in their farms. The fat veteran is very happy, saying that all must be, this cabbage is enough for the amount of their kitchen one day, how many to send more.
So the old Zucker’s farm was busy for a morning, and asked many residents in the town to come over and help to bring all the cabbages to the oxcart. After sending them to the military camp to find the fat veterans, they quickly settled all the dishes. paragraph. After letting the 马克 leg mark and the town's helper send the ox cart back to the farm, Lao Zike decided to go into the city and buy some linen material for her baby niece to let her make new clothes. In the past two years, this baby niece has been wearing the old clothes left by her sister before she married. Today I sold all the cabbages in the farm, just having money to buy things.
The left side of the road to Effingasburg is covered with military tents, the color is like the military uniform worn by this army soldier, all brownish gray. There was no fence between the tent and the road, but the soldiers on the other side of the tent did not come to the road. Occasionally, the horses screaming and running the horses were behind the tent, and the soldiers were restrained not to run on the road. . It’s just that there are not many pedestrians and horses on the road. People from the city are full of horror and can’t wait to escape.
When I arrived at the gate of the castle, Old Zucker discovered why the people coming out of the city were so flustered. Because there are hundreds of bodies hanging on the wall, the clothes are gorgeous, and many of them seem to be familiar. Old Zucker went to the front and looked at the bodies hanging on the wall with a squint. The result was an unexpected discovery of an acquaintance. A few days ago, I went to Ximu Town to ask him that the team’s grand ambassadors were hanging on it, and one did not run away...
Looking at the gate, the old Zucker found the soldiers who were wearing brown-gray military uniforms. He went to the gate of the city and handed a road in his hand to a soldier who came to him. This road is the chubby veteran who gave him. I heard that he is going to buy something from Feninasburg. The fat veteran will let him wait. After a while, he will give the old Zike this way.
The soldier looked at the road, and it was very difficult to smile. He returned the road to Lao Zike, and waved his hand and shouted a few times. The effect is that this is our friend and can be released. Old Zuck then asked him why the cronies of the Dagong were hanging on the wall. The soldier replied with a smile and said that there will be no more Grand Dukes in here. We have recovered Evinasburg, and here will be the new occupation of the Kingdom of Ovilas...
......
For the temporary royal court of the White Devils in the Kingdom of Ovilas, these three months are painful and happy. First, the defensive line of Anbrze County was completed. All the troops deployed by the Kingdom on the second defensive front retreated to the vicinity of Bailu City, and began a rare adaptation and rest after the war broke out. At first, there were still some fears, but the success of the Anbrze County defense line finally made everyone in the kingdom put down the restless heart.
No one expected that the battle of the Rock Corps would be so powerful, it was almost an enemy. After the troops of the National Alliance of the Eastern Region found that the troops of the Kingdom of Ovilas on the second line of defense were all evacuated, they occupied the second line of defense and entered the county of Ambry. When the Anbrze County was found to have another defensive front and only one legion was defensive, the seven legions of the Eastern Alliance were overjoyed, no longer waiting for the arrival of the reinforcements, and launched a fierce attack directly to the Rock Corps, using their own heads. Hit the hard stone...
The first attack was a cannon ash group formed by the Principality of West Dings and the Principality of Rimondra. Unexpectedly, less than half an hour later, because the casualties exceeded 10%, the morale collapsed and returned from the front. . The senior officers of the League of Nations in the Eastern Region can only shake their heads and sigh. This friendly army is too weak. The wave initiated by 50,000 or 60,000 people is not used at all. Even the location of the heavy throwers on the enemy positions is tentative. Not coming out. I heard the sound of the firearms on the defensive position, and then the pieces in front of the attacking soldiers fell down. The back turned and fled. It seems that it is better to let them do some chores.
The aristocratic officers of the Principality of Didings and the Principality of Rimondra turned their heads and shy away. They gathered their own soldiers and rushed to the starting position of the legion. They arrested nearly 100 of the soldiers who had returned from the rout. The typical example of deserters carried out a brutal dagger punishment directly on the position and gave a morale-inspired speech. It’s a pity that these nobility officers can hardly inspire the courage of these defeated soldiers. More soldiers are numbly watching them, and they are indifferent to their speeches and inspirations. This makes the aristocratic officers want to organize again. The idea of offense was completely lost.
This was followed by a standing army of the Nasri Kingdom and a light cavalry regiment of the Cannes Principality. In accordance with their customary habits, this standing army of the Nasri Kingdom first launched an offensive, attracting all the enemies of the frontal defense front. attention. The Cannas Light Cavalry Regiment ambushes behind, and in the most fierce offensive and defensive wars, the squad is prominent, rushing from the flank to the defensive positions, allowing the defenders to lose sight of one another.
The standing army of the Nasri Kingdom took the opportunity to launch a general attack, regardless of the casualty defensive positions of casualties. Under the attack on both sides, it is easy to break through the enemy's defensive front. As long as it occupies a position on the enemy's defense line, and firmly adheres to the defender's counterattack, and then uses the strength of the force to reinforce and supplement, use this defensive position to consume the enemy's strength, and ultimately will cause the enemy's entire line of defense. collapse......
For the first time, the assault corps' attack was defeated at a distance of 150 meters from the defensive position of the Stone Corps. This time, the joint attack between the Nasri Kingdom and the Cannes Principality was a bit more competitive. The standing army of the Nasri Kingdom rushed to the front of the defensive line for a hundred meters, because the casualties had to collapse. The light cavalry regiment of the Cannes Principality went one step further. They fell to the place of more than 50 meters before the defensive position. The bodies of the horses piled up together, and a light cavalry regiment of more than 4,000 people ran back. Hundreds of rides.
The impression and lesson left by the senior officers of the National League of the Eastern Conference was that the enemy’s defensive firepower was too fierce. First, the toss, which should be a heavy thrower, can throw the throwing ball to more than four hundred meters. The standing army of the Nasri Kingdom almost attacked the throwing bombs that were falling from the sky, but when they attacked the position two hundred meters before the position, they encountered a fierce fire gun fire shooting, and the soldiers who were at the forefront were charged one by one. The land that was thrown to the ground, 100 meters to 200 meters in front of the defensive position, was covered with the corpses of the Nasri soldiers, and the blood flowed into a small stream.
This scene made the senior officer of the Nasri Kingdom, who was watching the war, cry out: "This is a massacre, not a war!"
The light cavalry regiment of the Cannes Principality set foot on the minefield within a hundred meters of the defensive position, plus countless throwing light throwers, turning the position of the light cavalry regiment into a charge. The place of death where the shrapnel flew. That is, the last hundreds of light cavalry strangled the horse's reins, forcing the horse to turn away and escape to save their lives...
The defeat of the two attacks finally made the senior officers of the Eastern Alliance of the Eastern Regions pay attention to the former Rock Corps. I soon learned that this was a reinforcement that was dispatched by overseas self-governors. So everyone looked at the senior officers sent to the Hicks Kingdom, this is their old rival, the winner of the colonial war.
It’s just that the senior officers of the Hicks Kingdom are also in a state of collapse. They know that the name of the Rock Corps, like the Thunder Legion, is the opponent of the Hicks Kingdom in the colonial war. But the problem is that they have not participated in the colonial war, and they have all participated in the labor of overseas self-government. So they don't understand the characteristics of these two enemy regiments, but the battle of the Rock Corps is strong and they have seen it with their own eyes.
Therefore, the third attack was handed over to the army of the Hicks Kingdom. This time they were preparing to send two legions to fight, and then prepare a light cavalry division of the Cannes. The Hicks’s army ranks first in the Eastern League’s national alliance for its own reasons, because they can take a giant single-armed lever thrower with a throwing distance of up to 560 meters, breaking Ovi. The first defensive front of the Kingdom of Ras, the giant throwers of the Hicks Kingdom made a great contribution.
The standing army of the Nasri Kingdom prepared nearly 100 wooden and shield vehicles during the attack to cover the nurses' positions against the enemy. Unfortunately, under the explosion of the toss, these wooden and shield cars have become useless, and they have become the target of concentrated bombing, resulting in heavy casualties for soldiers who are hiding behind.
Now the two standing regiments of the Hicks Kingdom are going to attack, and it took three days to prepare hundreds of wooden and shield cars. However, they do not use these wooden and shield trucks to cover the nurses to attack, but to protect their giant throwers from artillery attacks on defensive positions. In any case, their thrower throws the toss at the farthest distance. As long as they can withstand the enemy's artillery, it is basically in their own throwing bombs to throw the enemy, but the enemy can not throw their own situation. Just throw it in a few days, the enemy can't stand the bombing attack from the position, or the morale collapses and retreats.
It can be said that the Hicks Kingdom put all their technology trees on the throwers and throwers...
