Chapter 872

Not to mention the armor on Borda and the others, as retinues, a decent leather armor is considered high-end. Even their master Ruger Knight only has a metal breastplate and a helmet...

After the initial sluggishness, the people in the camp started to panic involuntarily. Because most of the knights and nobles are still in the city at this time, there are more than 1,400 people in this camp as combat units, and there are more than 500 various servants and servants, and more than 200 others. The men and women who belonged to casinos, brothels and shops. When someone yelled "the enemy is coming" and ran towards the city wall, the "morale" that didn't exist in the first place dropped to a negative value...

The dozen or so knights and barons who happened to not go to the city didn't even think about resisting because they have no subordinate relationship with each other, and no one can command the other. The only thing everyone can do is to quickly call on their subordinates. Hurry up and get out of the chaotic camp!

The 1st Infantry Division approached to the position of 300 meters while shouting slogans. Although their formation was slightly deformed after walking so far, the system of squads, platoons, and companies allowed every soldier to get continuous support. The long-term high-intensity training has allowed them to maintain their physical strength despite being fully armed. Now those heavy breathing sounds are entirely due to the excitement caused by adrenaline...

They haven't drawn out their long swords yet, but there are already noisy voices from the camp in the distance. The soldiers looked ahead nervously, but as long as there was no order to draw their swords, they would always keep moving forward and continue to march two hundred meters...one hundred meters...

"Ready for battle!"

There was a sound of drawing swords in the infantry array, and the reflection was dazzling under the sun.

The artillery had assembled the spar cannon as early as 500 meters away, but because the enemy had never appeared, they never fired.

At such a distance, everyone could clearly see the backs of the fleeing soldiers in the camp. Only then did they realize that the enemy had completely collapsed without even drawing their swords.

This cannot be blamed on the cowardice of the soldiers under Earl Harrison. It is really because of the war in the cold weapon era. It takes a lot of time to prepare thousands of people to muster up the courage to fight: starting from Earl Harrison to the bottom Soldiers in the army must have various speeches to motivate them before fighting, and at the same time, they must cooperate with military pay or similar means to maintain the atmosphere.

A qualified commander will give various tasks to nobles and knights before the war is approaching, and at the same time, he will continue to make public speeches so that everyone can focus on the upcoming war.

Only when everyone upholds the same belief can we achieve "unity" in battle. However, at this moment, Earl Harrison did not have time to do these tasks at all...

Everyone has no psychological expectations for the sudden war,

In other words...how do most of them fight when they forget where their weapons are?

The arcane puppets, roads, and trucks that built roads shortened the unit of measurement for human warfare from "days" to "minutes" in an instant. Don't look at the more than forty trucks without any weapons, but for the soldiers who have collapsed, this is the most terrifying weapon.

The chaos in the "Turtleback Camp" is unimaginable for ordinary people. The soldiers who wanted to escape ran towards the city of Suwara regardless. Most of the knights and barons could find their horses, and then quickly got rid of their followers. leave first. The soldiers with good physical strength in the back were huddled together in the narrow and chaotic passage of the barracks. Some people pulled out their long swords in a hurry and began to hack. The frightened crowd had to make way for this guy... but I don't know that their behavior seemed to wake up more soldiers with weapons. In the shadow of swords and swords, many people were cut down on the roadside, howling and trampled under the feet of the fleeing soldiers.

The most unlucky ones are the people in the casino and brothel. They are unarmed, have poor physical strength, and they happen to be located close to the city. As a result, not long after the riot started, they were cut down by the rioters rushing from behind. In the chaos, many people still didn't forget to snatch their gold and silver ornaments. ,

No one thought of going back to resist at all. When the infantry of the 1st Infantry Division stepped into the Turtle Back Camp, there were only the wounded screaming in the stampede, and those soldiers who directly chose to surrender and kneel on the ground...

To deal with this kind of unresisting enemy, the company commander immediately began to assign teams to collect the prisoners of war, and quickly tied them up with ropes. Because China's combat troops are only about 1,500 people, and now they have no time to deal with these injured people, so most of them were tied together and thrown aside.

At this time, Belloch has led his team to easily cut into the deserter's team from the side. Their targets were locked on those gorgeously dressed nobles and knights, and they caught them one by one. These nobles usually boasted that their martial arts were invincible in the world. Facing the experienced dragon spear knight, those who tried to resist were picked off without even going through a round.

Dragonlance knights are like sharks wandering in the sea, and those fleeing knights and soldiers are fat meat with no resistance. After a while, these knights drove the group of people away from the original running direction like driving a flock of sheep. The city gate is getting further and further away.

In fact, it is useless for them to run to the city gate now. The gate of Suwara city has not been opened at this moment, and it will take another hour or so to enter. But the 1st Infantry Division advancing from the rear didn't care about this at all. They continued to advance, coordinated with artillery and three huge trucks, and continued to advance towards the city gate.

When they were 600 meters away from the city gate, three trucks began to adjust their position. They lined up on the side of the team, and at the same time, more than ten soldiers began to take out the supporting racks from the side of the truck to fix the car body firmly. on the ground.

The two spar cannons on each vehicle have a caliber of about 20 centimeters, which is three times that of the spar cannons used by artillerymen. The artilleryman adjusted the scale, and then inserted the spar into the base. The first round of shells was a black calibration shell. Following the command of the artillery company commander, a total of six spar cannons fired at the same time!

The roar instantly resounded across the battlefield like rolling thunder, and six black shadows streaked across the air, perhaps because it was the first time they entered the battlefield, three of them crossed the city wall and smashed directly into the buildings behind.

The sound of the building breaking down became one piece, while the chief of the artillery company here was cursing endlessly: "There are so many! Are you trying to make the infantry company laugh at you?! Give me a good fight!"

The stern-faced artillerymen readjusted their angles, and the accuracy of the second round of shelling improved significantly. Two of the shells directly hit the city gate, but the kinetic energy of the solid shells at this distance was much attenuated, and did not smash the gate. One was bounced open, and the other directly Embedded in the heavy and lead-filled gate.

In the past, the city of Suwara was dominated by trade, and there was no moat on the periphery, only a gully seven or eight meters wide. Because the army came so suddenly, the city defense army hadn't put away the suspension bridge at all recently, and they just closed the city gate for curfew on weekdays.

But at this moment, they could no longer care about the suspension bridge. The third round of bombardment replaced the magic crystal shells made by the Magic Research Department. When the six shells directly hit the wall near the city gate, the violent explosion directly destroyed the Cut off the city wall and fly into the sky!

Stones and soil were flying all over the sky, hitting them within 100 meters like grenades. Many people who ran out to observe the strangeness due to the bombardment of calibration bullets were injured or even killed on the spot...

But until now, they don't understand what happened!

The fire support of the three giant artillery trucks ended here, and the artillerymen were using the water brought with them to cool down the gun barrels. The city gate in the distance had completely disappeared after the smoke had cleared... The empty city wall seemed to have been kicked by a giant, and the advancing infantry company immediately began to accelerate their charge five minutes later, rushing into the city!

In the era of cold weapons, this city has already declared its fall.

When Earl Harrison was awakened by the gunfire, he was still holding a young maid who was only sixteen years old in his arms.

Although he is old and unsatisfactory in that respect, he wants these young and delicate girls to satisfy his desires every night in bed. They say that power is the best aphrodisiac, and Earl Harrison has indeed recently Feeling reinvigorated, he awoke in the morning with fond memories of last night for a moment.

When the second round of cannon rang, he asked the servants outside the house a little irritably: "What's going on?!"

"Master... I, we will investigate now!"

The servant didn't know where the sound was coming from, so he hurried to report to the steward, who then arranged for guards. After a series of orders were passed on, the third round of shelling had long since ended.

The results of the investigation by the soldiers have not been reported for a long time, and Earl Harrison didn't bother to think about it. After all, everything was quiet after these three rounds of roaring. He felt that he hadn't slept, so he simply lay back and continued to sleep with his arms around the naked maid.

Maybe it's just thunder, it's been raining a lot lately.

He fell asleep in a daze, but it seemed that within a few minutes, there were louder and louder noises outside the window. He was suddenly a little angry, and sat up annoyed: "Ren! What's going on?! Does anyone want to rebel in the city?"

However, what responded to him was the knight Kewell who rushed in with a panicked face. He is the most elite captain of the guard under Harrison. He is usually in charge of guarding the mansion. The knight rushed in wearing a half-body armor and not even a helmet. Then he said loudly: "Lord Earl! Efta's army has broken through the outer city and is now outside the inner city wall. We must leave here immediately!"

Harrison didn't understand what he was saying for a moment: "Efta's army? Are you kidding? Or did I sleep for two months?"

This kind of talk is definitely a joke, either there is a rebellion by the refugees, or the mutiny of the troops under his command, but it is absolutely impossible for Efta to attack Efta, who has not even started the "assembly order", what kind of attack is there?
