Chapter 1012: Vortex center

Under the leadership of Lorraine, the new army set up a camp a few miles away from the small city of Pujiaska.
Taking advantage of the early days, the soldiers were setting up camp, Lorraine led a group of officers, had left the camp and came to a high ground not far away. Overlooking the town not far away.
He took out a single scope, then held it in front of his eyes, adjusting it skillfully.
Immediately, the blurred city in the distance gradually became clear in the lens barrel.
There is his goal...
Priska Ferry, one of the important towns of the Almohad Empire.
Behind it, there is a wide white line that traverses the sky from west to east, that is, the Zamibia River, which is full of waves and rushes to the sea.
The Zamibia River is a large river and a seasonal river. The water is abundant in summer and autumn, and floods are prone to occur on both banks.
Only in the Priska river section, the river suddenly became wide and the water flow was gentle all year round, suitable for ferry navigation. People can easily cross this sky chasm by boat.
For hundreds of years, Priska Ferry has been the transportation node connecting Almohad between the north and the south, the main road of land and water transportation, the commercial port, and it is also one of the few land and water transfer terminals in Almohad.
Its status and importance are almost equal to the Hafs port. Undertake the heavy task of cargo transshipment from north to south.
Here, there are 20,000 to 30,000 residents living on the river.
Due to the huge transit transportation, it also brings huge business opportunities here.
Although the city is not big, it can still be called a prosperous city. This can be seen from Xiaocheng Ran's buildings, which are almost all masonry structures, not shabby at all.
Moreover, after months of hard work by the southern rebels headed by General Hadu, the small town of Priska has become a pure military fortress.
The wall of the earth ram has been increased by 30 feet, and there is a wooden fence with a thick bowl on it.
Soldiers were vaguely visible on the wall.
Under the wall is a deep trench formed by borrowing soil. Although the distance is still far away, it is impossible to see how deep it is, but just by looking at the amount of earth removed from the side, you can know that once you jump down, you need a lot of effort to climb up again.
Moreover, Lord Lorraine also had reason to believe that not only was there water in the deep ditch, but the bottom of the ditch must be covered with sharp bamboo sticks or sticks. As long as a person steps on it, it is absolutely dead or injured. It is extremely dangerous and vicious.
Back then, when Grand Duke Julian and Hardu took their little brothers to fight in groups, he did not lose much here. This time, in order to get rid of the old fox, he also deliberately summarized his previous experience in fighting with General Hadu, wrote a combat manual, and issued the entire army.
There is one copy for each of the noncommissioned officers and above.
Once launched, the product is welcomed and loved by the officers and soldiers. The old guy also made a lot of manuscript fees.
Lorraine turned the binoculars and cast his eyes on the river.
I saw little white sails on the river, almost covering the entire route.
Those are all boats that pierce back and forth.
Due to the frequent fighting in the north, most of those ships have been conscripted for military use.
The flags of the southern rebels were all hung above them.
And it can be seen that those ships heading north are obviously heavy and slow, obviously full of cargo.
The ships heading south are mostly brisk and fast, obviously empty ships.
Based on this, it can be clearly judged that they are transporting various military supplies to the fort.
Lorraine couldn't help but hesitated, the enemy obviously put on a posture that he wanted to hold on.
He sighed deeply and secretly said in his heart: This job is not easy to do~!
Not only did they have to attack the city, but they couldn't really attack it, and they seemed to be really powerless. This scene was a bit difficult to do, but fortunately, there was a big tail behind it. You can pull them out when you need it.
I hope my bait is sweet enough to catch Hadu. In this way, the speed of the end of this war can be doubled.
Although there is no news from the Undead High Priest, it is like a hedgehog in the crotch, which makes people extremely uncomfortable.
After Lorraine's journey to the Demon Race, he was fully aware of the powerful war mobilization power of the Demon Race. And the huge number of liches that can almost obscure the sky.
And this is only part of the power displayed by the undead high priest. You know, in order to attack the human race, he has accumulated a full thousand years of strength.
Although it hasn't erupted yet, it is conceivable that once it erupts, it will inevitably break apart, and the mountains and rivers will be broken!
Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew clearly that the flame of human civilization was already in the midst of the storm.
Only by ending this war as soon as possible can we turn our heads around, accumulate every share of strength, seriously deal with the upcoming frenzied army of demons and undead, and guard human civilization as much as possible.
Lorraine couldn't help but feel heavier thinking about this.
He slowly put down the binoculars, then rubbed his tired eyes and turned his head to look north.
Although the sky is peaceful, there is no sign at all, but according to the agreement,
At this time, the remaining tens of thousands of New Army troops in Queen Isabella's hands had been rested and reorganized, and had begun to launch a fierce offensive against the occupied areas, seizing cities and expelling the rebel army. Oppress their living space.
Create all kinds of chaotic fronts to cover up the large-scale deployment of peacekeeping forces.
And Lao He's troops are also using exercises, constantly moving positions, and sending troops that have completed training to the south.
At this moment, the peacekeeping forces, the new army, the rebels, the Hadu department, and all the forces in Almohad have all mixed together, forming a huge vortex.
And the center of this vortex is the small city in front of it.
Priska ferry will be the center of this battle.
The ownership of this place will determine the victory or defeat of the entire battle~!
General Hassel also immediately stood on the hill, staring at the Prisca Ferry in the distance, and said in a deep voice: "According to the news from the spy, although Hardu has been hoarding food and grass in the city, he has not Increase troops.
At present, all the troops in the city are still the two legions under Hardu's from Winter Province, commanding their general, a guy named Patler.
We know very little about the origin of this man, only that he had worked under Hadu.
Lorraine couldn't help turning back, and gave him a surprised look.
General Hassel couldn't help but smiled bitterly, spread his hands helplessly, and explained: "Originally, all officers above the lieutenant rank should be registered with the military department. But because of the incident two years ago. The military department. It also caught fire suddenly, and all the documents of the Southern Army Corps were completely destroyed. So..."
Lorraine and him looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile.
A young officer next to him recklessly whispered: "That incident two years ago? What is it?
…"
But when he finished speaking, he was covered by the person next to him.
Lorraine glanced back angrily: , whose little doggie is so ignorant?
What could be the incident two years ago?
Isn't it that Lord Luo sent his troops to attack the Almohad Empire and cleaned up their deadly emperor?
This matter is a matter of great face and honor for Sir Alex Ferguson, but many of the officers around him are from Almohad. Although their boss is Her Majesty the Queen, it would be a shame for them to say it in person.
The scene fell awkwardly silent for a while.
Lorraine couldn't help but cough, then pretended that he hadn't heard the little officer's words at all, pointed to the opposite town and said loudly: "From the perspective of the city defense, this person is still very organized. Now that we are all here, say hello to our neighbors, otherwise it seems that we are not enthusiastic enough."
Hassel will also pretend to be nothing, smiled slightly, and said, "As you wish.
count. "
He waved his hand to the people behind him and said loudly: "Boys, I heard Lord Lorraine, let's go and say hello to the scumbags under Hardu.
"Yes, sir~!" The officers of the new army promised loudly, and then they turned their horses, prancing horses and whip, and rushed down the in a moment.
After a while, the bugle whining sounded.
Under the eyes of tens of thousands of people inside and outside the city, the soldiers of the new army were shirtless, shouting chants, and pushing the artillery to a place about 800 meters away from Priska.
This distance is barely accurate for the gunners of the new army, and they basically rely on méng no matter how far away they are.
Thousands of soldiers also followed the artillery and moved to the front position to protect the sides of the artillery position.
Then, under the gaze of the Wanhadu soldiers on the city wall, the artillery began to dig out gun positions and arrange positions, and they were very busy.
Lorraine looked at the busy New Army artillery in the distance, and said to Hassell: "I'll go ahead and take a look. Here you come and stare."
Despite the embarrassing God, Hassel finally nodded.
Lorraine rode through the camp of the new army and trot all the way to the artillery position. Before he could get to the front, he heard a roar.
"Hurry up, hurry up, girls, I do everything faster than you."
"You bastards, it's been a month, and you can't even hit a fixed stake. Are you all pig brains?"
"Unload the marching frame, don't you understand human words? I'll let you unload the new army frame, you do it~!"
Lorraine smiled unconsciously. Those who were roaring loudly were all artillery instructors from the peacekeeping force.
Under their command, the artillery of the new army is busy building artillery positions.
The instructors grabbed the ears of the new army and yelled at them, and from time to time they simply kicked them impatiently.
The artillerymen of the New Army who actually took to the battlefield for the first time worked desperately at a speed beyond the normal level amidst the roars they were already familiar with.
Near them, a few security soldiers in black clothes were squatting behind the artillery position, smiling at the jokes, and when they saw Lorraine coming, they nodded slightly.
The duty of the security forces is to supervise the use of Almohad’s Nouveau artillery, and when they deem it necessary, destroy all artillery and ammunition so that the fire cannon falls into the enemy’s hands.
In the instructor's curses and urging, the artillery position was quickly deployed.
The artillery quickly reloaded, took aim, and ran towards Prisca's fortress.
At this moment, Hadu's soldiers gathered on the head of Priska, and they all watched the new army's actions intently.
When a burst of smoke rose from the muzzle of the artillery, the soldiers on the wall instinctively felt the danger, and shrank their necks like a conditioned reflex, hiding behind the female wall.
A dull rumbling sound followed, like a thunder from a distance.
Then there was another loud noise, and boldly poked his head out of the female wall, and saw that not far from the city wall, a large cloud of smoke rose up quickly, and the ground seemed to be smashed into a big pit.
Seeing the effect of this shot, Lorraine curled his lips, far from it.
The instructor was so angry that he grabbed the collar of the new army soldier and yelled at him. He sprayed all over his face with stars, and finally commanded loudly: "Raise once."
After adjusting the angle of the artillery, the artillery officer stared at the rebels on the wall and spit on the ground heavily, waved his hand violently, and shouted, "Boom me that bitch."
Fifteen artillery guns fired one after another, and thick white glass anaconda suddenly appeared, covering the entire artillery position.
The ground around the ground trembled with the sound of "Rumble".
This time most of the shells hit the city wall, deeply embedded in the rammed earth, and then there was a violent explosion, and a large hole was exploded in the wall with the sound of thunder.
There were even two shells hitting the head of the city, and a piece of [limb] fragments rose into the air in the flames of the explosion.
After the first record, the artillery of the new army yelled excitedly.
Although these artillery soldiers were recruits, they were all selected children of good families who were loyal to Queen Isabella. From the time they became artillery soldiers, they were told that the Queen had high hopes for them, and they were among the elite of the new army and were the battlefield. The is the key to the future of war.
Looking at the weapons in their hands, the artillery of the new army showed great power on the battlefield for the first time, moving like a child who got the most favorite toy.
Without waiting for the instructor's order, the artillery immediately took action, reset the artillery, cleaned the barrel, and fired immediately after the reloaded shells were aimed.
The rebels on the opposite side were frightened by the first round of shelling. It was the first time they saw something that fell on the ground and could blow people up.
While they were still in a daze, the shells fired by the second round of shelling had reached their heads, and there was another explosion of fire, smoke, and dust.
Amid the explosion, a piece of rebel soldiers fell from the top of the city like dumplings.
Obviously, the city walls are no longer safe. At this time, no one needs to say, the rebel soldiers shouted immediately, pushing each other and crowding down the city.
The artillery of the New Army became more and more enthusiastic as they fought. This was the first time the soldiers of the New Army encountered this kind of pure bullying, without worrying about their chance to fight back.
Even the soldiers standing on both sides cheered loudly.
Every time a shell exploded on the city, and a few more rebel soldiers were blown up, the soldiers of the new army shouted in unison.
When the shell hit the city wall, only a piece of dust was splashed, and the soldiers would yell at the artillery.
Lorraine stepped back early and left the range of the artillery.
The artillery was enjoyable, but the artillery in front of him was uncomfortable, and the violent roar made the soldiers near the artillery muffled.
There was also a choking smell of gunpowder. Artillerymen had to yell at their comrades' ears so that they could hear what they said.
A large group of officers gathered behind the artillery position, although they all wore the uniforms of the new army, most of them were Ruman. It was also the first time they had seen the power of artillery, and curiously squeezed forward to watch.
Seeing that it was Lorraine, the new army officer next to him was stunned for a moment, raised his hand to salute, and instantly held back.
Lorraine's current status is just an ordinary officer of the New Army, not far from the rebels. In order to prevent the rebels from seeing the flaws, Lorraine specifically explained it so that they did not have to salute when they saw him.
The officer finally nodded, and whispered: "I have seen the lord."
Lorraine felt that this person was a bit familiar, and after thinking about it, he said, "Don't be annoying, General Helier."
This man is the commander of one of the two regiments sent by the Novice Army. It is said that his troops are relatively capable of fighting in the Novice Army.
General Helier hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, my lord, for helping our new army two months ago."
Lorraine said suspiciously: "Two months ago, what did you mean?"
General Helier gave a wry smile and said: "Thanks to your lord who advised us to change tactics at that time, the brothers of our new army can have a chance to breathe."
Lorraine suddenly realized that when the peacekeeping force headquarters had just arrived in the imperial city, under the advice of the Grand Duke of Lorraine and Julian, the new army changed its tactics, using space for time, and retreating for geographical advantage.
General Helier sighed for a long time and said: "The big man in the headquarters is sitting in the imperial city, saying that every inch of the land is sacred. I don't think of how hard the brothers on the front line are fighting. They have played six consecutive times. The moon battle was defeated twice and fought for thousands of miles without a good repair. At that time, the brothers were left with a breath.
If we hold on for a few more days, we will collapse before the rebels come to fight. "
Lorraine nodded silently. The strength of the new army was overwhelming, and two consecutive defeats were made. Queen Isabella and the others insisted on fighting every inch of the land with the rebels. The soldiers of the new army were naturally used as two.
The rear did not understand the true situation on the front line, and would only order death for granted. In fact, this is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst.
General Helier smiled and said: "With the advice of the adults, we have a chance to breathe. This time, we have to find them to take revenge on Middelburg. "Seeing that the rebels have already been caused. Impressed enough, Hassel ordered the shelling to stop in due course. After all, every shot made is counted as money.
A large group of cavalry rushed out from the rear camp, holding the flag of Almohad and whizzing in front of Prisca, in order to demonstrate to the rebels in the city~EbookFREE.me~ and Priss The city of Ka was silent.
The new army finally exulted in front of Hadu's men. Every time they faced Hadu's army, the final result was a big defeat.
Over time, the new army had a psychological influence on Hadu, thinking that they might never be able to beat Hadu, that person was too godly.
Seeing that this time I actually beat the enemy and fled in embarrassment, they were so scared that they didn't even dare to risk their heads. The officers and soldiers of the new army swept away their decay all the time and their morale was greatly boosted. .
After winning this battle, they should have chased the rebels behind the ass.
When the results of Ye Vera's investigation, Hadu in the south remained silent, and it seemed that he didn't care about Priska who was about to be attacked.
Early the next morning, after eating breakfast, the new army launched its own cannon again and blasted Prisca's city wall.
After a period of artillery preparation, the new army began its first probing attack under the cover of artillery. ! .
