Chapter 24 Entering the City

Deceived, the mercenaries felt that they had been deceived.

The enemy that the officer claimed would definitely flee, but they had to deal with the few enemies who resisted. It was so easy for them to chase down these confused soldiers at first.

Until the wave of mercenaries hit the front line composed of Vika infantry.

The sudden burst of bullet storm swept through the crowd, treating those wearing spearmen's uniforms and various costumes equally as silent corpses. If a large-caliber 12mm gun hits an unarmored person, it will knock him down with one shot, and his torso will be killed by one shot.

Reality is not a game. Superman, who can jump around after eating a few bullets, does not exist in his army for the time being.

After the first round of firing was completed, the spearmen did not try to reload. Instead, they raised the gun with the bayonet already installed and used it as a short spear.

A dozen or so gunshots were heard sparsely in the wave of mercenaries, knocking down two or three soldiers. Other soldiers dragged their bodies back, and the soldiers behind them took their place.

Four hundred Vicar spearmen gathered on the hillside in front of the artillery array. This was the number he had notified of the maximum gathering. There were three hundred 녨녿 뀙lancers on the entire front to maintain a fragile front, and there were no 뀙 who arrived. The gun teams are fighting on their own. They are like puddles after rain, scattered on the ground. A small number of puddles will evaporate quickly in the sun, while those with more water can last longer.

Chang Heng stared at the approaching crowd. He received Ji Lin's order to hold on for ten minutes.

Wait for all the mortars to be adjusted to the open state.

The mercenaries are not without guns, but the guns have basically no chance to reload at such a close distance. Neither the Vicar spearmen nor the mercenaries have the idea of ​​reloading. The slow-loading guns are at It is irresponsible for your own life to try to reload after entering charging range.

"Soldier, I have nothing to say! But if we can't resist the enemy attack, we will all die here today!" Chang Heng shouted: "There are no supplies nearby. If you run back to the country, you will be punished by military law!"

If other people had said this while standing behind the soldiers, they might have sneered, but Chang Heng was now standing at the front of the team, facing the enemy attack.

This will undoubtedly greatly improve the morale of the infantry resisting the line.

"Maintain formation!"

Chang Heng was a centurion after all, and his fighting skills in the cold weapon era were not weak. In other words, this kind of fighting was closer to the mode he was familiar with.

"yes!"

The Vicar spearmen shouted in unison, as if to embolden themselves.

Ji Lin stood on a high place and looked at the battlefield. He had finished all the arrangements, and now it was time to fight hard.

If you insist on saying it, the chance of winning is 50%.

The entire camp suffered heavy losses and was directly crushed by the cavalry's surprise attack. Even the well-prepared spearmen could not resist the mercenary cavalry of varying quality in the face of the rout. It wasn't all a bad thing, at least the wave of cavalry didn't attack his front. His front was so weak that it couldn't withstand the charge of the cavalry.

The enemy on the front is very fierce. The mercenaries are bloody trained with knife-edge training, and their fighting experience can be used to the fullest in close combat. The Vika spearmen have the advantage of taking advantage of one formation, and they can withstand it.

But no matter how ferocious the front is, it can't resist being directly fooled by something like a mortar with weird ballistics. The trajectory of the mortar is not an ordinary direct-fire cannon. The pitch angle of the direct-fire cannon will inevitably cause accidental damage at such a close distance. And weapons with high trajectory can cross the enemy's front row troops at such a short distance and directly start bombarding the crowd behind them.

As for those prisoners, those prisoners were released by Ji Lin as soon as possible. If they were fighting on the front line and the prisoners behind them started to riot, there would be nearly 400 prisoners of war... After hesitating for a while, these prisoners of war would Fleeing into the darkness with the rout of troops.

Instead of preparing more soldiers and worrying about a desperate attack on 뀘, it is a good choice to release the soldiers to reduce the pressure on the soldiers. Free the soldiers who need to be guarded and directly transfer them to the front for defense.

What's more, he didn't want to kill so many people.

The enemy retreated.

When the cannon was fired, the defeat of this group of mercenaries who came to them was a foregone conclusion.

Their morale collapsed as quickly as they fought.

When the cavalry saw that there were still artillery, they never came close to their position. They wanted to attack the lone spearmen, but they were repelled by the spearmen who were liberated from the infantry. They would bully the weak and avoid the strong. The essence of it is brought into full play.

With all enemies withdrawing from the battlefield, he was able to take stock of those still able to move around the battlefield.

584 people.

He simply counted the remaining number of survivors. The most important mechanics were well protected by him, and none of them died.

놙It’s less than a quarter of the original...

Ji Lin sighed, he had worked so hard to save less than a quarter of his troops.

A 50% chance of winning is a miserable victory.

These five hundred men, plus eight cannons that had exhausted their ammunition, were all the troops he could control.

It's not that there are no benefits. In terms of controlling soldiers alone, he has tripled the number of soldiers from the previous one hundred and eighty. He also has the command power in his hands, and there is no one above his head to tell him what to do.

These five hundred people can barely be regarded as qualified steel from the fierce battle. The spirit of the army after a bloody battle is much better than that of the army that just entered the training camp. They need a little training. They are a group of outstanding people. soldiers.

"Shall we retreat..."

The remaining 500 people have little strength and morale.

"No, we won't retreat, we will attack directly."

The tree branch in Ji Lin's hand drew a simple map, pointing directly to the main gate of Seta on the mud.

If they can't get Seta, they have nowhere to go.

Go to this primitive wilderness? The primitive wilderness is not humane, and most of them are more or less injured.

If Seta can't be taken, no one can treat these wounded soldiers injured in the attack, and they can only lie on the ground and wait for death to arrive.

There is no good thing like antibiotics in this era. A small wound can also spread into a fatal ulcer. Plague diseases and poisonous insects don't like to give humans time to recuperate. Those who have large wounds can find a grave to lie down.

Death is waving at you.

Ji Lin gave his orders directly to Chang Heng and Chong Shan. He knew that he might look like a radical gambler who put his hope on a single throw.

In the face of what he might face, taking risks is the safest.

"Give up the mortar, take all the explosives, and we will fire directly."

He gave his orders firmly.

Surprise attack, the word "surprise" is all about. No matter how hard the opponent puts his head into the toilet, he would never have thought that the target of their night attack tonight would actually be attacked and directly steal the house.

In such a night attack, the city's soldiers must be empty.

In order to succeed, Ji Lin specially chose the door that bypassed the attack direction.

In the dark, they began to march.

The siege went very smoothly. The soldiers on the city wall thought they were the mercenaries' triumphant return. Some mercenaries had returned to Ciseta before. They did not bring back the news that they had been defeated. They did not even know whether they had been defeated or not. They just ran back to the city first after getting enough spoils.

These garrisons on the city wall did not even close the door...

Those mercenaries who had some rules retreated to the artillery to wait for orders, or went directly back to the city through the door to prepare for their rewards. The officer saw that the Vika advance team was doomed, so he naturally planned to call it a day.

The duration of the illumination spell had also ended.

The land returned to silence.

The guards did not have any vigilance against them and were knocked down by the gunners.

As soon as he entered the city, no one dared to stop him. He led the spearmen and rushed directly to the city lord's mansion, knocked down the guards who dared to shoot at them, and then kicked open the door of the city lord's mansion with his subordinates, and dragged the city lord who was playing on the bed with several maids.

Let him feel the feeling of a gun on his head.

The city lord looked at Ji Lin, who was smiling in a gray military uniform, with a bitter face.

To capture a thief, first capture the king.

General.

The residents of Seta heard the continuous sound of artillery outside the city.

When they woke up, the city had a new owner.
