Chapter 515 The Battle of Polynesia (3)

"On the third day, the enemy ’s offensive strength has begun to decrease. I think we can let our mouths go and let them enter the city. Otherwise, they will be very confused if we take the siege and not attack. All preparations may be in vain, "General Beechklin said.

Claude stood in front of the city's sandbox and shook his head helplessly: "No, the commander of the Alliance Army is very smart. The offenses he launched in the past three days seemed to be powerful, but they were all attacking. In fact, on our defense line Most of the casualties in the past were armed by the families of the local guards and territory nobles who voluntarily participated in the kingdom of Nasser to regain the king's city, and the five standing regiments of the Hicks Kingdom have been watching from behind ...

I made a special statistics on the city wall. Few soldiers who wore Hicks uniforms in front of our defensive front in the past three days died. The three-sided positions added up to less than a thousand or so. I suspect that the enemy knows that we are weak in defense, and it still takes these three days to test, it is likely that they want to force us out of the city and withdraw. That's why he only besieged in three directions, leaving us a trail of evacuation, so that he could achieve the goal of regaining the King City without fighting.

We can only continue to do so now, because we are prepared to use the defensive advantage of the King City to deal with the five standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom. Only by annihilating these five Hicks legions can we destroy the Nasser Kingdom and march into Kan The Principality of Nas, dominates the eastern part of the continent. Since the enemy wants to delay, we will accompany him to delay it. Only with the five standing legions of Hicks to launch a large-scale attack, can we really fake it and gradually retreat without causing the enemy to doubt. "

"Then what if the five standing legions of the Hicks Kingdom remain motionless?" General Albert asked hesitantly.

"Then we will stay with you." Claude nodded Emmys on the map: "I have sent a hawk to Bonnie, and McJack, and asked the Third Division to dispatch a main field team to arrive Emmys City. At that time, Bonnie will also send troops from the First Division of the Rock, pretending to be a division's reinforcements to come forward with reinforcements. If the enemy wants to regain the king city, then the news will inevitably launch a storm on us, hope Defeat or drive us out of the royal city of Polynesia before the reinforcements arrive ... "

It was just beyond Claude's surprise that the Alliance Army launched an onslaught the next day, using five Hicks standing regiments. It seems that the first three days were armed with cannon fodder from the local defense forces of the Nasser Kingdom and the families of the nobles of the territory. The test was to test the falseness of the defensive forces on the defensive front. So they put in all their combat power at once and attacked for two days and one night without stopping, forcing the Thunder and Rock Corps guarding the forward position to abandon all defensive positions in front of the city wall.

"We lost almost 10,000 casualties. Hicks's war damage should be five or six times ours ..." General Beechklin passed the casualty statistics report to Claude seriously.

Claude took the report and found that most of them were seriously injured. The names of the soldiers who had died in the war had drawn a circle with a black pen on it. Less than two thousand people finally breathed a sigh of relief. These wounded soldiers have been sent to the treatment camp in Wangcheng, and the bodies of the dead soldiers have also been converged, waiting for their free time to be burned into the ashes and put into the jars to be brought back to the overseas dominion.

With more than 10,000 casualties, the strength of the two regiments was almost lost, and although the enemy's casualties increased by five or six times, they would almost lose one army. Claude was dissatisfied with such an exchange ratio, and felt that he was a little too disadvantaged. But think about the frontier defensive positions to give up are only seven trenches within a hundred meters in front of the city wall, and you can only hold the depression in your heart.

"Today, the enemy used a light thrower on a large scale during the attack. The attacking soldier carried it with him and hurried to the front of the trench before throwing a bomb, which caught us by surprise. We did not expect the enemy to do this. The first two The loss of the Dao trench was because of this, and the casualties were too large. Then we immediately returned the teeth and used the light thrower to throw the bombs into the two trenches occupied by the enemy, and always paid attention to the enemy's throwing bomb group. Once found Kill first, and then stalemate with the enemy until the afternoon to withdraw from the forward defense position. "

General Abbott, who commanded at the forward position, also reported today's combat process. He believed that the enemy was more difficult to entangle. The five standing forces of Hicks did indeed stand out in the Alliance army. The offensive tactical exercises like the wave are more mature, and the will to fight is more tenacious. However, because of this, the evacuation of the forward positions would be reasonable to the enemy, after all, the defenders are at an extreme disadvantage in terms of strength.

The enemies may then attack the city wall. The west city wall can be abandoned, but the south city wall and the north city wall must adhere to it. Even if the west wall is captured by the enemy, the enemy will only enter the battlefield set by Crowd in advance. There were originally prisoner camps and care areas where more than 100,000 captives and more than 200,000 family members were located. Now the captives and their families have been transferred. This area occupying a third of the king's city has become Claude's preparation for a decisive battle Ultimate battlefield of city street battle.

It is just that the commander of the Alliance Army seems obsessed with forcing the Thunder Army and the Rock Army to voluntarily abandon the withdrawal of the King of Polynesia. After occupying the front position in front of the city wall, they did not immediately launch an attack, but spent five days to check the dead soldier At the same time, more than a dozen trenches leading to the forward positions were dug up to mobilize troops during the offensive.

When everything was complete, seeing that the Thunder and the Rock Corps did not leave the Royal City of Polynesia, the Alliance Army launched an attack on the Royal City. It was also a three-sided attack, but six corps were thrown in all at once. To the west and north are a Nasser Regiment and a Hicks Regiment, while to the south are two Hicks Regiments. It seems that the commander of the Alliance Army wants to use the strength of the army to defeat the defender's defense confidence in the fiercest offensive.

For Claude, the enemy ’s commander ’s move was very clever. It is clear that the Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps are in a weak position. The soldiers on three sides of the city wall, and the soldiers on each side of the city wall are about two million people. The addition of defense facilities can not withstand the successive waves of offensives of the enemy ...

When all the enemy infantry under the city wall, constantly climbing on the wall and shooting at the wall, it will inevitably attract all the attention of the guards on the city wall, saying that unsightly points do not need to be aimed, and they will be hit if they are shot under the city wall. At the time of the enemy, no one would notice the artillery and huge throwers that the enemy moved from step by step.

When the defenders on the wall found the distant artillery and the thrower approaching the wall, if the artillery was turned to fire, it would not be possible to suppress the attackers under the wall to climb up the wall. In particular, the walls of the King of Polynesia are also five or six meters high, and the various ladders lined up on the walls make it easy for attacking soldiers to climb up the walls and engage in combat with guards. Claude and General Beechlin had to organize the division and the headquarters of the logistics and civilian officers as reserve teams to the city wall to support ...

When the first enemy's throwing bomb landed on the west wall, and sent the melee soldiers to the air without distinction of enemy and enemy, General Albert could only command the garrison while fighting. Withdraw, giving up the defense of the entire city wall. Soon, the flags of the Alliance Army Nasri Kingdom and Hicks Kingdom were planted on the west wall, and countless excited Union Army soldiers cheered and jumped on the wall to celebrate the hard-earned and costly victory.

In this era, breaking the walls means that the attackers have won, and the defenders have either surrendered or evacuated. But what makes the Alliance's troops strange is that even if the west wall has been captured and occupied, the resistance on the north and south walls is still extremely fierce, and even the artillery fire is even more fierce. The attacker lost his morale and war heart. It was very simple. The west side had broken the city, and he could enter the city from there. Why are he still killed here?

So the gunfire on the north and south walls soon calmed down, and the guards on both walls even launched a counterattack against the west wall, but they were repelled by the coalition forces. However, the two sides still had a crossfire on the wall of the junction. The Alliance Army finally separated the wall with sandbags and then defended it with heavy soldiers. The defender's ammunition seemed to be inadequate, but it was only a while before firing a shot, and no Not as violent as it was during the war.

However, the troops that entered the city from the west gate were immediately attacked by the defenders. They hid in the houses, alleys, behind the barricades, and shot at the enemies who entered the city, making it difficult for the Union soldiers who entered the city. Covered with corpses and wounded. The Alliance Army relies on people to advance forward step by step, but these resistance enemies are very cunning, they are retreating while fighting, leaving only empty shells on the position ...

Duke Pillag Hieliotte was very disturbed. He always felt that it was wrong to break the wall so easily. Now the enemy in the city was still resolutely resisting, which made him feel strange. Under normal circumstances, breaking the city means a victory for the attacker, and the defender should withdraw or surrender. He deliberately kept the east retreat, and the enemies in the city could withdraw from the east, so everyone would be happy and no more troops would be injured or killed.

But soon, the city sent the latest news, explaining the enemy's unrelenting fighting. A Hicks grass-roots officer ran to the headquarters with a bag and dumped the contents of the bag on the table. The gold and silver utensils shone brightly under the candlelight ...

"Hello Marshal, we found three warehouses in the city where these belongings were stored. All of them were filled with these gold and silver utensils. Our officers and men were going crazy, everyone rushed into the warehouse to **** these things. Now in the city The soldiers all spread that the enemies' two legions searched the tens of millions of gold shields in the Nasser Kingdom and stored them in the royal city. There are still a dozen warehouses that store gold and silver utensils like this, and the enemy will not fight. The reason is because of these belongings, they don't have so many things to transport in a carriage ... "

It's a pity that when Duke Pillagh Hieliotte got the news, it was late. This would not only be the troops in the city, but even the troops outside the city would get the news. It was not a rush to the city from the west gate. It is to find him to apply to enter the city to attack the enemy.

Rather, Prince Daklind of Nasrily rushed to protest to Duke Pillag H. Ferriot, who believed that these belongings belonged to Nasrily Kingdom, his new ascending kingdom. Owned by the King of Nasri Kingdom. However, Duke Pillag Hielio said that he could not help, because at this time he could not order the seizure of these seized trophies from the soldiers, which would greatly dampen the morale of the frontline attacking soldiers.

However, Duke Pillag Hieliotte said that Prince Daklind could take the initiative to enter the city and lead his unit to attack the defensive enemies, so that he could own and find the warehouse filled with these properties. . Because Prince Daklind still has a legion of troops, he has always excuse that his men have suffered more than half of the casualties during the siege, and need to rest and do not want to enter the city to fight ...

When a herald came over and reported that the Marquis of Archibald Wey Chalcs of the Principality of Kanas also led the only remaining light corps in the Alliance army to give up the mount and enter the city to launch an attack on the enemy. Prince Linde couldn't stay any longer and hurriedly left. It wasn't long before there was news in the coalition camp that the newly reorganized legion of the Nasseri Kingdom was marching toward the city.

The gunfire in the western part of the King City became more intense. Hicks officers and men in the city swooped on the enemy regardless of the heavy casualties. When the enemy moved away from the blocking position, these Hicks officers and soldiers burst into cheerful shouts, not to chase the enemy, but to rush into those unmanned houses for the first time to search for property ...

The entire coalition army has messed up. No one can care about the casualties. The warehouses that store gold and silver appliances from time to time made all the officers and men of the coalition army red-eye. In order to rob a house of gold and silver, a gun battle between a Hicks Kingdom brigade and a squadron of the Kansas Principality also broke out, causing a tragedy of more than a dozen casualties. Finally, they were rushed by Naser The kingdom's troops disarmed ...

At this time, in addition to the legion that was commanded by Prince Daklind of the Nasri Kingdom that came last, the city had more than 200,000 Union soldiers and soldiers. Searching for property in those buildings was running towards the sound of gunfire. Because the fierce gunfire means that the enemy's defense has a warehouse for storing property, and there is a chance of getting rich when there is a warehouse. Even these minds are rich in dreams. They ignored the corpses all over the place, and even the wounded for help. In your ears ...

Many empty houses in the western part of Wangcheng were set on fire by those angry soldiers who could not find their belongings, and soon the fire became more and more popular. Fortunately, many of the houses here in Wangcheng are made of masonry, and the fire was not connected. In the middle of the night, many soldiers who had gained something and some tired officers and soldiers began to find a fire to burn and rest, and many of them took out their loot to show off to their companions.

At this time, a news came saying that more royal and silver treasures were stored in the palace, which were small and easy-to-carry valuables such as gold coins, silver coins, and jewellery. As long as you got a handful, you could go home and live a rich man's life. So all the officers and soldiers spontaneously advanced to the royal palace, and the bodies that had fallen on the street were dragged to both sides of the road to avoid delaying everyone's journey. Fierce gunfire and artillery sounds have erupted over the palace, but this has not prevented the crowd of black crows from marching into the palace's dream of finding a fortune.

To the west of the neighbourhood is a very wide square connected to the Royal Palace. This is the most famous Royal Palace Square in Naples, King of Polynesia. The Nasari royal family holds a grand celebration ceremony on this square every major festival, and most of the military parades and review troops are held here. There is also a four-carriage black stone boulevard between the square and the palace. There is also a horticultural garden area more than 100 meters away from the boulevard and the palace.

The Thunder Corps and the Rock Corps guarding the King City have already laid heavy soldiers on the walls of the Royal Palace. The corpses of the officers and men of the Alliance Army that have fallen down on Black Stone Avenue and the Garden Garden area have almost covered the ground. These daring attackers attacked the palace with their dream of getting rich, and as a result they lost their precious lives in the sound of gunfire.

"We need to throw bombs and artillery to break through the enemy's wall ..." The Alliance soldiers who arrived first yelled loudly at the following troops, but no one came with these bulky weapons. They also shouted at the subsequent crowds, but no one was willing to go back and get these weapons, all afraid that they missed the first time they rushed into the king city ...

The square, which was large enough to accommodate more than 100,000 people, slowly became crowded, and the officers and soldiers scattered with their own troops began to yell at the number of their troops or the name of the officer in order to return to the team or gather their subordinates. More soldiers of the Alliance Army are crowded in the square, which is nearly 300 meters away from the walls of the Royal Palace. Don't worry about being shot by the enemy for the time being.

"This should be what you said is that people die for wealth, and birds die for food." Above the walls of the palace, General Albert looked at the crowd on the square in the distance with a smirk.

Claude nodded and turned to General Chiklin and said, "It's time to order the fire. I believe the 400 artillery we have been hiding will surprise the enemy. In addition, Allen, you go south The city wall, directing artillery to bomb the west city wall, block the west gate, do not let the enemy in the city escape from the city ... "

Claude once said that he didn't care how many enemies there were as long as there was enough ammunition. However, after confronting the Alliance Army, he has been hiding the 400 artillery pieces carried by the Second Division of the Rock in the warehouse, not to expose it, just because he feared that the Alliance Army would not dare to attack the city after knowing this information. So what was discovered by the enemy was that there were only more than 200 artillery pieces of the Thunder Corps, and there were only more than 100 new artillery pieces remaining after the retreat of the king city, and the ammunition seemed to be somewhat insufficient.

Now that most of the enemies have entered the battlefield, it is impossible to escape with wings, and those heavy weapons have been thrown out of the city in order to get rich. So Claude can come up with his own killer and kill again ...
