I Will Be The Crowned King

"I shall be crowned king ( Find the latest chapter!

At four o'clock in the morning, the port city of Carindia was still shrouded in torrential rain and war, which was almost in ruins.

The battle of Port Carindia, initiated by Renault's first raid, has lasted almost a whole day.

Relying on the cover of the weather, familiarity with the terrain and a little luck, at the beginning of the war, the Hantu Army achieved a great advantage. Not only did they conquer the heavily guarded Beicheng Gate, but they even completed the breakthrough of all the outer positions and forts. And rely on military superiority to divide and surround it.

In the central battlefield, Leno, who led the main force of 3,000, successfully completed the interspersed, constantly breaking through the barricades, chasing troops, and besieging enemy troops on the main road in the city, advancing a third of Carindia in only 30 minutes. Hong Kong is unstoppable.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Hantu Legion who broke into the city continued to disperse, wreaking havoc on the empire's strongholds and warehouses in the city, and the subsequent urban riots spread like a torrent of lava, destroying the control of the imperial advance army over the city.

But their luck ended there.

After experiencing the initial surprise and panic, the well-trained imperial advance army, with its high morale and far superior organization of the Han soil army, withstood the storm and maintained a good performance, and began to quickly mobilize the army to turn the tide of the war. .

When the entire Hutu Legion was still immersed in the joy of victory, Lawrence Igor, the commander-in-chief of the advance army of the three infantry regiments, personally recaptured the captured North Gate; and took this as a stronghold to cooperate with the position The defenders, who were still fighting bravely, quickly launched a front and back attack on the Hantu Legion.

In less than an hour, the battle was completely reversed again.

The 10,000-strong Hantu Legion lacked the heavy weapons to effectively storm the fortress. Facing the onslaught of the well-trained Imperial Line Corps, the army on both flanks completely collapsed in just 30 minutes.

Some Hantu officers also wanted to stabilize the front line, forcibly break through the siege, and even invaded the fort and the inside of the position for a time; but in front of the imperial line soldiers who could continuously concentrate their superior forces to encircle and suppress, and rely on the position to form cross firepower, except for a very few who successfully broke into the city, The rest is still the fate of being annihilated in the rout.

As for the main force of the legion in the central battlefield, although they broke through the strongest square defense line and smashed through half of the port of Carindia, the troops with heavy casualties could no longer support Reno to complete the original plan; After defeating the pursuers, he quickly disappeared into the rain.

So far, the Imperial Advance Army has basically won the battle of Carindia Harbor, and almost completely defeated the Han soil army that surrounded him; only the rioting thugs in the city and the enemy with pitiful outer strongholds were left.

Lawrence even sent an infantry regiment to launch a raid on Shady Valley. The only three infantry companies remaining in the city fought desperately to resist, only relying on the city wall and heavy rain to barely repel the enemy's tentative offensive.

This little "frustration" did not spoil Lawrence's good mood at all. He had even begun to plan that if the "Clovis mercenaries" did not appear again, he would directly lead the army to the north and besiege the Iron Bell Fort.

But at this moment, a new change appeared in the battle that seemed to be coming to an end - the "routed" Leno Emmanuel and his remnants of defeated soldiers appeared again.

Not only did it appear, but he also took advantage of the gap in which the advance troops were concentrated around the city wall, captured the Lighthouse Palace, and took down the advance army headquarters!

Not only did they conquer the Lighthouse Palace, but they also set off riots in most of the noble districts, destroying the logistics warehouses of three advance troops one after another!

As the commanding heights of the headquarters and the entire Port of Carindia fell, the imperial advance army scattered in most of the city fell into chaos again, and riots of all sizes began to spread rapidly throughout the Port of Carindia like fire.

The imperial soldiers in the city were shocked to find that they not only lost their headquarters, but also lost their logistics.

As the commanding height of the whole city, the Beacon Palace itself is a fortress. Reno also found a large amount of ammunition from the advance army reserves in the palace, plus the logistics warehouse captured by the riots in the noble district. , became a sharp knife inserted into the enemy's heart!

The newly victorious Imperial Advance Corps was caught in a dilemma... They defeated Reno's Legion of the Earth, but they also lost nearly half of their logistical reserves and headquarters, as well as control of the port of Carindia.

With the current situation, the most favorable option for them is to retreat to the port and wait for the support of the Empire's vast soil fleet, but this is equivalent to handing over the entire Port of Carindia to their defeated men.

But if they don't do this, they will have to suppress the intensifying riots in the city while staring at the Lighthouse Palace, which is besieged by a hail of bullets and has more than a thousand defenders. It is clear how much casualties this will cost.

And if the "suppression" continues over and over again, there will probably be few living people left in the Port of Carindia after the war.

Lawrence Igor didn't care about the life and death of the Carindians, or he actually wished that the scumbags were dead.

So he chose a more "safe" method: gradually push inward along the city walls and peripheral positions, suppress the growing insurrection, and finally completely surround and isolate Renaud Emmanuel, who was defending the Lighthouse Palace.

In the port of Carindia in the torrential rain, the balance that originally belonged to one end became swaying again.

"So what do we do next"

Looking at the port of Carindia in the distance, cavalry lieutenant Jason turned his head to look at the deputy commander of the legion with a gloomy face and his brows were almost huddled together: "It seems that the Hantuo Legion opposite is about to be defeated, we must support as soon as possible. Are they?"

"Support? Still support... Anyway, not now!"

An Sen rolled his eyes: "If we can support it, of course we need to support it, but what's the situation now? The main force of the 10,000-strong Hantu Legion has completely collapsed. All the enemy's peripheral positions and forts are intact, and the artillery fire is enough to cover the entire battlefield! "

"What about us..." An Sen turned his head and looked behind him: "Nearly 20,000 reinforcements marched forcibly all day and night, their physical strength was almost exhausted, and their organization was almost non-existent. It took three hours from the assembly to the present to gather three or four thousand. People, the remaining large troops and heavy firepower are almost scattered all the way, what support do I need for this?!"

"Uh... Deputy Commander, I think you should calm down first."

"I can't calm down!"

"Ah this..." The cavalry lieutenant who was yelled shrank his neck.

I don't know if it was an illusion, he found that without Chief of Staff Carl Bain, the deputy commander suddenly became a lot more irritable.

Anson's mentality was a little broken.

In his original guess, the worst-case scenario was the failure of Renault's attack, the collapse of the vast soil army, and even the loss of Shade Valley - so at least the army is still intact, even if it is only by the Storm Division itself, There is little problem in regaining Shady Valley and re-forming the siege of Carindia Harbor.

But he never thought that the situation was worse than he imagined - the Hantu Army broke through the outer defense line, but was pushed back, the 10,000-strong army was killed, and there were thousands of core main forces. Trapped in the heavy siege of the enemy in the city.

What should I do by myself? !

It is impossible not to rescue, after all, I still have to rely on Hantu's legion to defeat the empire's expeditionary army; but if I want to rescue... just rely on the thousands of people on hand, what can I do to tear apart the heavily guarded fort and defense line? !

The best way at the moment seems to be to wait for the artillery that has been dragged behind to be in place as soon as possible, tear open a breach at a relatively weak defensive position on the periphery of Carindia, take down the north gate and the entire outer defense line, and wait for the opportunity. Is there any chance to cooperate with the Hantu Legion in the city and have a "Central Blossom"? If you are lucky, maybe...

"Deputy Commander!"

The cavalry lieutenant's voice interrupted Anson's deep thinking, and there was a bit of disbelief in his voice: "Look, the imperial defenders of Carindia Harbor... They are... They seem to be retreating!"

What, retreat? !

Confused, Anson raised his head suddenly, took the monocular from the cavalry lieutenant and looked at the city wall.

………………

The expressionless Lawrence Igor stood motionless, staring at the cold corpse soaked in rain on the stretcher with his bloodshot eyes.

Imperial knight, advance army staff officer, reserve imperial attaché, heir to the Igor family... Luther Igor.

His eldest son, his only son.

died.

There was a gap in his chest that was pierced by a saber, and the blood water almost dyed his blue-white military uniform dark red, plus he had been soaked in the rain for an unknown amount of time... Even for a talent with the power to restore blood, for a Nothing can be done about the lifeless corpse.

The icy rain made the corpse stiffer faster than normal temperature. The dead Luther Igor stared at his empty eyes, and the panic and fear at the last moment of his life solidified on his bluish cheeks. He was completely gone. Politeness, and the pride and pride of being the heir to the Igor family.

When he got the news that the defense line of the square had been breached, because he soon received the information that the routed troops were quickly reorganized, Lawrence thought that Luther was safe and sound, and he even planned to use this war to teach this old-eyed high-level man a good lesson. Yu Ding, a son who is always in a hurry when doing things.

Now...he'll never have that chance.

Lawrence stood in the rain for more than ten minutes. The surrounding officers and staff members were speechless, bowing their heads and not even daring to make a sound, quietly waiting for the commander-in-chief to slowly recover from the great grief. .

After a long time, the expressionless Lawrence slowly raised his head, and swept his knights with eyes that could not see the sadness and joy:

"Has the Lighthouse Palace been taken?"

No one answered.

The knights, who looked at each other in dismay, saw the same terrified expressions on each other as they did. They held their breaths tightly, not daring to make a single sound, and even wished they could disappear from here.

So the expressionless commander-in-chief of the advance army could only look at his officers, and repeated in a very calm but slightly old and hoarse voice:

"I'm asking you if the Lighthouse Palace has been conquered... Answer me."

"Not yet!"

A knight gathered his courage, stood up from the crowd, and knelt down on one knee in front of Luther Igor's body: "At present, our army is cleaning up the rioting soldiers and rioters one block by block along the main road of the city. thugs, for the time being..."

"how much longer?"

"what?"

The knight who was asked was stunned for a second. He was not the staff officer in charge of combat; but when he looked up and saw Lawrence's dark pupils, his whole body immediately shuddered:

"Three, no! Two days! In two days, all the thugs will be wiped out in two days, and then...

"I'm asking you... how long... how long!"

The expressionless Lawrence seemed to be twenty years older all of a sudden, and every word had to use all his strength:

"How long will it take...to start...the general attack on the Lighthouse Palace?!"

"This……"

The knight opened his mouth wide, and he desperately looked behind him from the corner of his eye, but the knights around him were all as terrified as he was, and they didn't even dare to make any gestures to him with their eyes.

"If, if possible...the subordinate thinks it's best...three..."

"boom--!"

Lawrence raised his hand and took out his pistol~www.novelmt.com~, the hot lead bullet from the gun rubbed the knight's cheek and flew out, dragging a bloodstain on his face.

The surrounding knights bowed their heads, and no one dared to look up at him.

The blood-covered knight still knelt on the spot, his hands and knees trembling uncontrollably.

"Organize an army immediately, devote all the troops of the advance army, and go all out to capture the Lighthouse Palace. Be sure to wipe out the main force of the Hantu Legion in the shortest time." Lawrence stared blankly at the blood-stained knight and held his shoulders:

"I give you all the authorization, from now on... You will be the commander-in-chief of the scene instead of me, take down the Lighthouse Palace for me, and take down the heads of those gangsters. Do you understand?"

"Lord Lawrence!" The knight couldn't help but make his last attempt:

"Otherwise, wait until the riots in the city are completely suppressed, and then besiege the Lighthouse Palace! I promise you, at most two... No! At most one day, as long as you give me one day, I can..."

"Why can't you understand?! How can you not learn!"

Lawrence was suddenly furious, and glared at the knights and roared: "The reason why the **** in the city dared to riot is because they could see the Lighthouse Palace being taken down, they thought we had been defeated, that the Hantu people had taken back the card. The Port of Lindia - that's the whole reason they dared to rebel against us and provoke the Empire!"

"As long as we conquer the Palace of Lighthouses, raise the iris flag on the top of the palace again, and hang the heads of those **** on the city wall to show the public, the whole port of Carindia... no, it's the whole Carindia, the whole land will understand, What a terrible price to pay for humiliating the Empire!"

"Do you understand, Luther... my stupid son!"

Lawrence patted the knight on the shoulder and growled.
