"Wow--!!!!"

Amidst the billowing smoke, a messy brown streak stepped on the blasting point of the cannonball and rushed through the ruins of the North City Gate and broke into the port of Carindia.

Lisa, who was screaming, moved her short legs desperately, carrying three rifles, four revolvers and six grenades on her back, wearing a helmet that was a circle bigger than her small head, and carrying a bayonet Borne in her arms. Pulling the trigger continuously, the fire-breathing lead bullets penetrated one after another and rushed up to block her head.

Almost at the same time, the soldiers of the guard company followed closely behind and launched an assault into the city at a speed second only to the "company commander", advancing quickly with loose skirmish lines around the girl like two wings of a phoenix.

Colonel Anson Bach, deputy commander of the Southern Corps, whose immediate guard company was equivalent to the commando, was a well-known secret throughout the Storm Division.

This unit generally has the following characteristics: the salary is very generous, and the selection conditions are relatively harsh - only skirmishers or veterans of more than two years are accepted, and the death rate is ridiculously high.

All the recruits who enlisted in the army were first surprised that the company commander was a little girl, and then even more surprised to find that most of them could not beat this "little girl", and finally they were comforted by some veterans earnestly to "prepare to die at any time".

The guards of other commanders tend to face combat only at the most critical point, but under Lisa Bach, the guard company is "the most critical point" in almost every battle... Many are "unskilled in business" The new recruits often get lost on the battlefield because they can't keep up with the speed of the company commander, and then find themselves surrounded by enemies more than ten times their size.

Under this high-intensity training and screening mechanism, in just a few months, Anson obtained a large number of skirmishers (250 people), rich combat experience, and good luck. Team...even though that wasn't his intention.

The price is that the storm division "heard the guard company's discoloration", and he himself did not have much presence in front of this unit - they only listened to Lisa alone, and all of them were able to tell the girl "Wow——!!! !" The lunatic who attacked together.

"Wow----!!!!"

The roar of more than two hundred guard companies penetrated the rain curtain, and the gun flames flickered in the billowing smoke, like a low-roaring steam train, directly running over the fragile defense line of the advance army.

In the back row of the guard company, two infantry regiments kept advancing in column under the flank of a skirmish regiment. The chaotic and roaring footsteps sounded like "train carriages", rapidly expanding the breach torn open by the guard company, and controlling both sides of the street for the follow-up. Troops paved the way.

The most fatal mistake of Renault's failed raid was that he did not systematically destroy the defense system around the advance army at the first time. After the initial setback, he resolutely gave up annihilation and turned to encirclement, so that the enemy's organization was preserved intact, which led to the advance army behind. There is a basis for counterattack.

Of course, this is also related to the quality of the Hantu Legion itself. Like this lack of training and rectification, relying on the commander to maintain morale, and most of the time can only fight against the wind, if the troops are frustrated at the beginning, it will easily lead to an avalanche across the board, which is very likely He had just gnawed down two forts, and was forced to retreat due to a drop in morale... although the end might be better than it is now.

Although the Storm Division is a conscripted corps, at least like the regular army, it is trained in accordance with the Clovis military system and has a complete and efficient command system... The most important thing is that Anson has enough heavy firepower in his hands, and he can fire in the field even with hard support. Form a temporary fire suppression on the fort and cover the infantry attack.

It's not just about the power of the artillery itself, it's more about morale and deterrence.

"The artillery company continues to maintain fire coverage on the city wall, and all artillery must not stop firing until the enemy's fort and positions have fallen!"

"Once the 3rd and 4th Infantry Regiments enter the city, they will immediately rely on artillery cover to launch an offensive on the fort and positions; remember! Don't divide your troops, concentrate your superior forces as much as possible, and crush them!"

"The cavalry battalion is ordered to continue to gather the follow-up troops, and let them rest for an hour and then immediately enter the battle... What does it mean to rest and recuperate, even if you can breathe!"

"What, there are troops from the Hantu Legion rioting in the city? The unicorn flag was erected at the north city gate, and told them to assemble under the flag, prepare their own weapons to complete the reorganization, and follow the storm division to launch an orderly attack—— We're going to attack now, attack! No time to clean them up!"

Anson, who was carrying Leopold, ran wild while giving orders. Lisa and the guards rushed too fast, and the defense line of the advance army collapsed too fast. He didn't even have time to rectify the attacking troops in place.

The current situation seems to be that Reno had brought down the Palace of Lighthouses, and the Imperial Advance Army, which had lost its headquarters, fought back furiously in the extreme chaos. As a result, the entire outer defense line was empty and undefended. After a few rounds of platoons of guns and a bayonet charge, they could take it down. An "indestructible" fort.

They don't even need them to occupy the city... After seeing the Clovis flag fluttering on the north city gate, the rout of the Han soil Legion and the thugs in the port of Carindia who were causing chaos in the surrounding city immediately "joined", three points One of the Ports of Carindia instantly turned the color of Clovis.

But Anson was not overjoyed, and even more worried... The fact that the defense line is empty to this point proves that the entire imperial advance army has been assembled completely, and he has no chance of interspersed and divided, and gradually annihilated!

What he is about to face is an advance army with efficient execution and all the heavy firepower, and he has to fight a head-to-head positional battle with them.

This is very unfavorable for the storm division who has just experienced a forced march and is on the verge of overdrafting, but has just rested a little!

Therefore, Anson's plan was to quickly attack and capture most of the Port of Carindia. Before the advance army was still besieging the Lighthouse Palace, before it was too late to turn around to face him, use a relatively strong offensive to force them to retreat and drive them to Carindia. port direction.

The rest is to see when the weather is clear, or how long the enemy can last without supplies and retreats.

This is a perfect plan in every sense - at least that's what Anson thinks - the only uncertain factor is whether Reno, who is guarding the Lighthouse Palace, can find it in time and actively "cooperate" with him.

After all, only the advance army was completely held back by the Lighthouse Palace and could not escape, so that the storm division would have time to safely clean up the remaining imperial soldiers in half of the city, while detouring and raiding the rear of the advance army.

As for how they are going to cooperate, this... um...

………………

"Hantu people - attack!"

Accompanied by the deafening sound of gunfire, Renault, who was already on the verge of reaching the limit, raised the military flag high and issued his final roar.

The moment he confirmed that the sound of the cannon was coming from the direction of the North City Gate, he no longer hesitated any longer, and took the initiative to issue an attack order - use a counter-charge to hold the attention of the advance army.

Whether or not Anson Bach and his Storm Division appear, if you want to defeat the advance army or win the battle of Port Carindia, you must buy them time!

"Long live Hantu——!!!!"

The roar of the explosion resounded through the Lighthouse Palace, and the soldiers of the Han soil who had already killed the red-eyed roared and picked up the rifles with bayonets, and under the full cover of the artillery, rushed out of the position like a flood of gates.

The effect of the power of blood has long since subsided, but the soldiers' eyes are still full of blood red... Needless to say, everyone understands that this is the final battle.

The ownership of Port Carindia will be decided within the next hour.

Relying on absolute terrain suppression, the counterattack started very smoothly; unexpectedly, the Imperial Advance Army hadn't reacted yet, and was pushed down the steps by this "sap". The encircling net immediately showed signs of being broken through.

At this moment, the advance army, which had also been fighting all day and night, was already at the end of its streak. It completely relied on inertia and death orders to remain unbroken. The front-line troops could not effectively respond to the enemy's counterattack, and they almost retreated all the way.

At the same time, the artillery positions in the rear line and the waiting reserve army have also noticed that the North City Gate has been breached.

"Ignore those Clovis scum and continue to attack the Lighthouse Palace!"

Facing the panic of his subordinates, Lawrence, who was almost insane because of the death of his eldest son, was unusually calm at the moment: "Now they should have just broken through the city gate. Before completely annihilating the defenders on the position and completing the effective control of the battleground, will they be right? We attacked!"

"But, but..."

"Nothing! The advance army must take down the Palace of Lighthouses in order to regain the initiative in the Battle of Carindia Harbor and gain a firm foothold!" Lawrence roared firmly:

"Trust my judgment... Unless the Clovis scumbags are killed in front of them, no one of the troops is allowed to turn back and attack the Lighthouse Palace with all their strength!"

"Lord Lawrence!"

The eager "Luther" knelt down in front of Lawrence again, with a very excited expression: "The Lighthouse Palace will be handed over to me, please lead the reserve army to withdraw to the port as soon as possible... Turn in!"

"The port is the lifeline of our army. Once the Clovis Legion lets us besiege the Lighthouse Palace to occupy the port, the danger is far greater than if they simply take the city!"

For Lawrence Igor, who lost his mind in the pain of losing his son, "Luther" no longer counted on himself to convince him to give up.

In any case, the imperial advance army cannot be destroyed here, even if they are standing in the port for help, they must persevere, otherwise they have no choice but to surrender.

Once surrendered, the advance corps set the precedent of the Far Land War and became the first legion of the Empire to surrender to Clovis and the Far Soils—a responsibility that Lawrence and the officers of the entire advance corps took on. I can't afford it.

Of course, if at this moment they know that the Imperial Fleet has surrendered, under Fabian's "warm hospitality", everyone from the fleet commander to the middle-level officers will pass the enemy, revealing the battle plan of the expeditionary force, maybe it can be slightly relieved inner burden.

"Well... what you said makes a lot of sense. You should really focus on preventing the Clovis from controlling the port." Lawrence was stunned for a few seconds because of "Luther"'s words, and instinctively said to himself.

When the words fell, he suddenly changed his face again, and patted "Luther" on the shoulder with great relief: "I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of me, thinking of such a crucial point... It's good."

"It seems that only real combat can make people grow up, say goodbye to fantasy and immaturity... You will definitely become the pride of the Igor family, my dear Luther!"

"…Yes."

"Luther", who was kneeling on one knee, laughed miserably, and then looked at Lawrence sternly: "Please leave as soon as possible, my lord, the Lighthouse Palace will be handed over to me!"

"Yeah!" Lawrence nodded heavily, not forgetting to add:

"When you capture the Lighthouse Palace, the enemy will definitely put the main attack direction on your side... Be sure to persevere. At most two or three days, the imperial fleet will arrive at the port of Carindia. At that time, I will personally lead the troops and put the Take it back!"

"As ordered!"

Soon, Lawrence Igor, who led three thousand line infantry and half of the artillery, left the artillery position and went to the port to hold the position, waiting for the rescue of the Imperial fleet.

Watching them leave, "Luther Igor" bit the last cigarette in his pocket and let out a long puff of smoke~www.wuxiaspot.com~ stamped out the cigarette butts with the sole of his boots, turned his head and looked behind him 's adjutant: "Prepare for battle."

"We're going to die, we're all going to die."

The trembling adjutant's face was bloodless, and his lips had turned purple: "With the current strength and state of the soldiers, even if we can capture the Lighthouse Palace, we will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the Clovis... We are doomed. "

"It's dead, yes." Nodding lightly, "Luther" had a self-deprecating smile on his face:

"It's better to say that we are actually a group of dead people now."

"Then, since that's the case..."

"That's it!" He blocked what the adjutant wanted to say:

"The last thing we dead can do is to attract the enemy's attention as much as possible for the troops retreating to the port, and buy time to consolidate the defense!"

"By the way...kill a few more nasty Clovis people, and the stinkbug-like Hantu people...well, that's all."

"grown ups……"

The adjutant looked at "Luther" with a calm face, choked up...

"Oh, one more thing."

"Luther" who stopped suddenly turned around and smiled at his adjutant: "When you are captured by the Clovis, don't tell them that I am Luther Igor. "

"Edward, my name is Edward Lodge, don't get me wrong!"

After that, the knight holding the blood-stained saber strode towards the lighthouse palace filled with gunpowder smoke.

Fifteen minutes later, the Storm Division Guard Company arrived at the Beacon Palace battlefield and took the artillery position.

At 5:45, the remaining imperial advance troops outside the Lighthouse Palace were attacked by the Storm Division and the Hantu Army. The front line collapsed like an avalanche, and they were all wiped out.

The torrential rain that enveloped Carindia Harbor has gradually begun to cease.
