Chapter 625 Launching a General Offensive
“I need you to attack this target!”
“I need you to attack this target again!”
“You must attack this target! ”
……
In the headquarters, Eugene issued combat orders to everyone next to the sand table.
The results of this morning's battle have been confirmed. A gunpowder explosion and a rapid fire caused the death of King Doss of the Kingdom of Madeira and many nobles. Half of the royal mage regiment was killed behind the artillery position.
The fragments of armor with remains recovered from cleaning up the battlefield could barely put Doss back together.
A large number of people were stunned and captured, including those lucky Gallic instructors.
After identification by the prisoners, the deaths and identities of one archduke, three dukes, and seven earls were confirmed. The other two earls could not be identified because they were too broken, and their titles could only be determined based on the armor materials.
Now that the defeated troops were huddled around Sampaio Castle, Eugene asked the captured nobles to take the bodies of Dos and others back in the evening.
As Eugene expected, the enemy's morale dropped to zero.
The next step is to completely eat the entire legion.
Eugene pointed to a bridge over a river and said: "Sir Dennis, please completely destroy this bridge."
This is an important step for the Madeira army to withdraw to the hinterland of the country. The bridge is more than thirty kilometers away from the front line.
This task was easy for Dennis, it only took a few swords to smash the bridge piers.
Then Eugene pointed to a castle and said: "Sir Dickson, please cooperate with the Air Force to destroy this castle and let the enemy lose their stronghold."
Dixon nodded and said: " No problem, I will destroy the city walls and gates. "
The castle has a complete defense system. If it is very difficult to solve, a sneak attack is the best option.
As long as the walls and gates of the castle are damaged and the defeated troops no longer have the intention to defend themselves, it will be easy to capture them.
Eugene said to William, the commander of the 31st Regiment: "William, the 31st Regiment is the spearhead of the attack this time, and these strongholds and bridges must be captured as soon as possible!"
He then said to Earl, the commander of the 32nd Regiment. Wen said: "The 32nd Regiment and the 31st Regiment coordinated the attack to occupy these fortresses. Point, block all the enemy's escape routes!"
William and Erwin immediately stood at attention and shouted: "Resolutely complete the mission!"
The two regiments and the scattered mage regiment will occupy it! A series of traffic arteries form a huge encirclement network.
When the headquarters issued the order, the grassroots officers and soldiers were having extra meals. All food and drink were open and available, and there was an order to set off at midnight.
Many people looked at Metzger with envy. He was the first to take credit for commanding the killing of Doss. He didn't know what kind of reward he would get this time. Maybe he could get a title.
Some company commanders and platoon commanders were envious and regretful. They didn't want to go up the mountain to blow the cold wind, so they made many excuses.
This time the great achievement is just to have eyes, but I just missed it.
The orders from the headquarters were issued at all levels, and the 31st and 32nd regiments set off at midnight to take long detours and occupy various road points.
The soldiers who set out at midnight took the time to rest after eating.
At the same time, the soldiers around Sampaio Castle were in a low mood. The small and medium-sized nobles ran to the merchants accompanying the army a few kilometers away to suppress their fears with alcohol and women. Everyone was restless and fights ensued.
In the woods, two knights drank together.
The young knight took a sip and said: "What if the enemy attacks now?"
The old knight shook his head and said: "This is a forest, there will be no cavalry coming, if it is infantry we will You can escape to the city."
When the young knight thought it made sense, he put the cavalry in the woods and couldn't help but look back at the castle to determine the direction.
In the castle, the nobles were already quarreling.
Dos died without a clear heir to the throne, and the most serious injury among his nine sons was a sprained foot.
A country cannot live without a king for a day.
The eldest prince was the first to be targeted. Even the incident of touching the maid's butt when he was four years old was found out. As for how his younger brothers knew about it, there is no reason.
Amidst the commotion, it was already three o'clock in the morning the next day.
Eusebio sat quietly in the corner, watching a group of people arguing and feeling tired.
He is the god of dark magic. He went out with the army this time. He did not expect that he would receive an order to defend the castle today.
This was obviously marginalized by Dos, for no other reason than that he was not from the Kingdom of Madeira, but came from the southern continent and was employed by Dos. Recently, there was a sudden incident in the Kingdom of Madeira. A rising star who has reached his level with one kick.
Eusebio couldn't help it anymore and stood up and said, "Let's all rest first and prepare our defenses tomorrow."
He walked straight back to his room, regardless of whether others paid attention to him or not. . Now that the original boss is dead, the future bosses all have their own backers. After arguing all night, no one paid attention to him.
Eusebio thought to himself that it seemed that he was unemployed and had to find a place to find another job.
Where to go next?
An idea appeared in his mind.
As the saying goes, when I think of Tou Weisen, I feel that the world is vast.
I read every issue of Eusebio, the academic journal on dark magic in the Principality of Wesson. Dark magic that temporarily weakens the properties of materials is used in metal processing to reduce the difficulty and cost of processing.
Eusebio thought to himself that the Principality of Wesson seems to be facing the problem of difficulty in processing elemental alloys and temporary weakening of strength. He has some experience in this, why not give it a try?
He was thinking intently, and when he came to his senses, Eugene was handing him a cup of hot tea.
Now Eugene was trembling in his heart. He had never heard of a magic god on the opposite side before. The two sword masters Dennis and Dixon had already left, and this great god suddenly appeared at the door of the headquarters.
Eusebio took the tea, took a sip, and asked: "Is there any emperor's water?"
Eugene immediately said: "Yes, please wait."
He immediately went to take out a bottle of happy water from the refrigerator nearby, and saw Eusebio stretching out two fingers to get another bottle.
Eusebio took two bottles of happy water in one gulp, burped, and sighed: "This is the enjoyment of the emperor."
Eugene asked carefully: "Excuse me, Your Excellency What's the matter with coming here so late?"
Eusebio said: "Don't be nervous, I just want to inquire about something..."
On the other side, in the dark forest, Mary asked the signal soldier to ask Eugene if he needed Marshal Hicks' help, and the signal soldier quickly replied no.
Mary breathed a sigh of relief and asked someone to look at the time. It was one minute shy of four in the morning.
She ordered the entire army to prepare and put down their helmets and visors.
The sound of metal clashing sounded in the woods.
At this moment, there was a deafening explosion in the distance, and Miss 75 of the artillery, the mortars of the 33rd Regiment, and various rocket launchers opened fire at the same time.
Amidst the continuous explosions, the flares slowly fell in the air, like the angels of the God of Light raining down divine punishment. The believers of the Earth God Religion trembled.
Mary drew her saber, swung it forward, and shouted: "For the glory of the Empire!"
She led the way, with the sound of horse hooves rumbling behind her.
Generally, countries do not put cavalry in the woods, but the Osmaga Empire has all terrains. The proud hussars can gallop anywhere except in the water, appearing when the enemy is expecting them. Unexpected places.
The two knights holding wine bottles were stunned, watching a black horse running past, and further away were countless cavalry.
Mary took the lead and rushed into the chaotic crowd in the woods.
There was a fire in her heart. The Osmaga Empire had declined. In the past two years, she had heard a lot of cynicism from outsiders.
Now, we need sabers, we need the blood of pagans, to tell everyone that the fire dragon that once dominated the world is just taking a short break.
Behind her are a group of young people eager to make achievements.
They are children from aristocratic families who have no inheritance rights, and are the backup for their eldest brothers and sisters. When they reach adulthood, they can only get a sum of money to go out and live in a manor, or spend the rest of their lives in a manor.
Now, there is an opportunity to start a single book of family genealogy by myself.
Behind the cavalry, the infantrymen holding pea guns ran to keep up. In front of them were military achievements and bounties!
They followed the rose armor in front, thanking the great Archduke Wesson for proposing to build a new army, and chopped the heads of the infidels with the sabers in their hands.
Mary was the first to rush out of the woods and came to the foot of the castle. The blood of the enemy stained her rose armor and war horse. Under the light of the flare, she looked like a devil appearing in the darkness!
She did not stop and led the most elite troops to rush to the city gate and take the castle straight away. The rest of the hussars spread out like a comb through the camp, and the infantry established a defense line by the woods.
In this battle, the new army of the Osmaga Empire acted as the main force in the attack from south to north. The 33rd Regiment of the Wesson Army established defense lines on the east and north sides of the woods to prevent the enemy from escaping. In the west, in addition to the 3rd Cavalry Regiment raiding the merchant camp accompanying the army, Let people escape.
There were so many people inside and outside the city gate that the suspension bridge could not be raised.
The magician behind Mary released magic one after another as fast as possible, breaking the iron locks of the suspension bridge and bombarding the people at the city gate.
The people on the city wall and near the city gate were trembling, watching the cavalry gallop away, leaving a long trail of blood.
When Mary reached the gate of the castle, someone remembered that there was a great god in the castle and shouted: "Quick! Quick! Go and invite His Excellency Eusebio!"
At the same time, Eusebio said to Eugene in surprise: "How profitable is it to convert knowledge into productivity?!"
"Then I will go back tomorrow and take my family and students to Weissenburg. City.”
