MTL - Heroes of Silver Moon-Chapter 711 : Skirmish (2)
In the early morning, the noble lord sent knights to wave whips, kindly awakening the sleeping soldiers.
Anyway, these forcibly recruited farmers are just cannon fodder in this war, and they may be consumed at any time, so why treat them so well!
Each person was given a piece of black bread the size of a palm, which was hard enough to break a tooth, but even so, the soldiers were grateful and ate it with water.
According to the usual practice, the aristocratic lord brainwashed before going to war.
Under the lure of money, land, and titles, this group of numb-looking militiamen burst out with unprecedented fighting spirit. Holding crude weapons, they rushed towards the other side of the Yelin River.
But immediately after that, dense machine guns rang out from the position of the new regiment.
This group of militia recruited without any rules when they charged was like the straw of a harvester. Starting from the front row, they fell down row by row.
I don't know who started to escape first. Anyway, this wave of people didn't touch the river, and they were defeated like an ebb tide.
In the headquarters of the New Legion, Graton leaned on a long sword with both hands, opened his eyes slightly, and said disdainfully: "A group of miscellaneous fish!"
This kind of existence is purely cannon fodder for death, and it is not even worth his wasting energy to pay attention to.
At the Imperial Army Command, Ivy put down the binoculars with a livid face: "A bunch of trash!"
He knew that the combat effectiveness of this group of conscripted militiamen was overwhelming, but you can't be defeated as soon as you charge up, let alone rushing in front of the enemy, you didn't even run to the small river less than 50 meters wide, it's too shameful!
This is not a tentative attack, this is purely to give the other party a head, and it also indirectly hurt the morale of one's own side, leaving him speechless.
Ivy turned to look at the magic consultant: "Master Riley, can the mage group assist in the attack?"
Riley replied casually: "Commander Ivy, I need to remind you that mages are the most valuable human resource of the empire, let the group of cannon fodder consume each other first, their lives are worthless anyway!"
Ivy's face darkened, and he ordered the adjutant: "Let the group of lords organize a second round of attack. This time let the Nusha Legion serve as the supervisory team. No one is allowed to flee the battlefield without receiving an order to retreat!"
The empire has dispatched two second-line legions this time, and the Nusha Legion is one of them, and its combat effectiveness is barely passable.
For this group of conscripted militiamen, the Nusha Legion is absolutely irresistible, so they either died in the hands of the Silver Moon Kingdom, or were executed as deserters!
"Yes!" The adjutant immediately summoned all the lords, emphatically expressing the power of supervising the battle team.
The lords understood and quickly pulled their retainers and standing soldiers out of the list for the second wave of attack.
In this way, the second wave of attack, almost no knights and standing soldiers, all cannon fodder troops, but fortunately, there are a large number of people, a full 200,000 to 300,000.
The second wave of offensive was launched very quickly. Facing the stormy attack of machine guns, these conscripted militiamen who had never received militarized training still suffered a major defeat very quickly.
But different from the first tentative attack, this time the Nusha Legion served as the supervising team, and any soldiers who dared to escape all died under the sword of their own people.
There are wolves in the front and tigers in the back. At the moment of life and death crisis, this group of low-quality conscript militiamen also became ruthless in their hearts, gritted their teeth and rushed towards the other side of the river.
Died at the hands of the Silvermoon Kingdom, if their lords still have a conscience, then their families will not only be compensated, but at least they will be able to reduce taxes for a few years.
But if you want to be treated as a deserter, you will die in vain...
In front of the harvester, the wheat fell one batch after another, but in the face of the absolute quantity, the machine gun also had reloading and the barrel overheated, and it was impossible to harvest at all.
Stepping on batch after batch of corpses, these recruited militiamen who charged desperately actually built several pontoon bridges on the Yelin River and successfully rushed to the opposite bank.
In the headquarters, Graton issued an order with a blank face: "Let the First Artillery Regiment blow up those pontoon bridges!"
The First Artillery Regiment, which received the order, quickly adjusted the muzzle, and dozens of shells fell from the sky, blowing up the pontoon bridge that had been built with great difficulty.
It also caused the recruiting militia, which had been ignited with hope, to suddenly fall into despair.
The pontoon bridge built with countless human lives was destroyed in an instant. If you want to build it again, how many human lives must be filled in?
Even if it can be built again, who can guarantee that the floating bridge will not be destroyed again?
With no hope of surviving, even with the supervising team behind them, these conscripted militias were still defeated. No matter how fast the supervising team's knives were, could they still be faster than machine guns?
Under the impact of hundreds of thousands of conscripted militiamen, the supervisory team was quickly rushed out of the gap. Seeing that the situation was about to get out of hand, Ivy quickly asked the adjutant to sound the retreat horn.
If the fight continues like this, maybe even the supervising team will suffer heavy losses.
With the sound of the retreat horn ~www.novelbuddy.com~ the entire battlefield, whether it was the Silver Moon Kingdom, the recruited militiamen who came to die, or the Imperial Superintendent, all breathed a sigh of relief.
Hundreds of thousands of corpses fell on the battlefield, perfectly explaining what it means to flow blood into rivers. Not to mention the Imperial Army, even the newly formed legion that created all this was shocked.
In this battle, Ivey, the newly promoted general of the empire, had to look at the army of the Silver Moon Kingdom again.
Regardless of other things, just talking about this killing speed, even if the top legion of the empire comes, it will definitely be crushed by the new legion!
Ai Wei, who was in a complicated mood, asked the lords to suspend their death, and asked the adjutant: "When will the mage union and the alchemist union arrive?"
It is absolutely impossible to break through this line of defense relying on ordinary soldiers alone, he must seek other help!
The adjutant replied: "The Mage Guild will arrive in three days, and the Alchemist Guild will take a month."
Ivey nodded: "The Mage Union is quite concerned, the Alchemy Union... dare to neglect the order of the empire so much, order the soldiers to rest first, and wait for the Mage Union to come."
Riley, the magic consultant, sneered: "Silvermoon Kingdom expelled the mage union, and did not expel the alchemy union. If the alchemy union can come, it is already a shame for the regent prince."
Ai Wei's face was a little unnatural, he knew that Riley was telling the truth, both the Mage Union and the Alchemy Union were unofficial organizations, and they usually ignored the orders of the empire, if it hadn't been for the expulsion of the Silvermoon Kingdom a few years ago The mage union, I'm afraid even the mage union won't care this time.
On weekdays, these non-governmental organizations with legendary powerhouses can give the empire a face, which is already very good. As for making them completely obedient, that is simply a dream!
