Chapter 1015: Battle of Priska

September 9th, sunny.
With the gusts of north wind blowing, everyone on the battlefield of Priska could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The most difficult days of summer have passed.
After entering September, the climate in Almohad gradually became cooler. Although at noon, under the scorching sun, people who were still hot were sticking their tongues out, but at night, they could already sleep comfortably. Sleep well.
Occasionally, there will be clouds flying over, dripping a few precious raindrops on that dry land. Greatly alleviate the drought on this land.
The only flaw is that there are too many mosquitoes after autumn.
Moreover, each of those mosquitoes is so huge that there is a joke in the army: three mosquitoes are enough to cook a dish.
In addition to the mosquitoes, in this Liao Tianye, there are also various small
Insects and moths are overwhelming.
Whenever it is dusk, after lighting a torch, they will emerge and attack the soldiers on both sides extremely bravely.
At this time, there was silence on the Prisca battlefield. Facing the enemy who was far more powerful and fearless than the enemy on the other side, the soldiers had to use all the physical strength they had accumulated for several days, desperately. The earth started a fight with those little insects.
In the early morning of the day, General Hassel had already walked out of the camp.
As he walked, he grinned and scratched his bite bag.
The feeling of itching to the bone marrow made the battlefield veteran extremely angry, and he wanted to take a knife and cut them all off.
What's more uncomfortable is that the more itchy the more itchy, the more itchy, the more itchy, and the itching cannot stop.
"In this weather, I died in this little mosquito before I died in Hardu's hands.
Really~! "Hassel muttered, and then noticed that the atmosphere nearby was a little different.
A large group of soldiers gathered to the south of the camp, poking their heads and looking south.
The car roof and the outpost were also full of people.
The soldiers stood on tiptoes like cat cockles on guard, straightened their necks and looked in the direction of the Zamibia River.
Hassel couldn't help but startled, and suddenly he had a bad premonition: Hell, something happened?
Why did no one notify me? Is the enemy coming? Why is there no alert?
While thinking, he walked quickly over, grabbed a soldier casually, and asked angrily, "What happened to the soldier?" The soldier was immediately taken aback by him, but he reacted immediately, but he hurriedly said. After a bow, he stammered: "My lord, I have seen an adult..."
General Hassel snorted and pulled the man to his wrinkled orange-skinned old face, pressed his nose, and shouted angrily: "The has seen adults, you, your ears Are you deaf?
I asked you what happened?
You bitch, you have to tell me what happened.
do you understand? "
The young soldier's face was pale when he was frightened, and he was sprayed with saliva on his face, but he did not dare to reach out and wipe it, he could only nod his head repeatedly.
But then I saw the Li sè flashing in General Hassel’s eyes, and then he reacted, swallowing deeply, and then he trembled: "I understand, General~!" Then finally, "General, two The words are roared out.
At this time, he finally calmed down as if he was scolded by a fascist devil instructor in the boot camp, looking straight ahead, standing straight.
There was a trace of satisfaction in Hassel's eyes: This is like Laozi's soldiers~!
However, he took a deep breath and sprayed his saliva at the soldier even more forcefully, saying: "You idiot, since you understand, tell me what the happened?"
The soldier couldn't help showing a dazed on his face, but at the same time, he screamed, "Report to the general. Some people say that there seems to be a military camp in Henan.
Lord General~! "
"What? A barracks?" Hassel froze for a moment, then let go of the soldier, and said angrily: "You bastard, you should answer this way when you encounter questions from the chief in the future. Do you remember?"
The soldier also roared loudly, "Yes, General. General."
Hassel took a half step back, raised his hand to his forehead, and said coldly: "Disband~!"
After speaking, he had already turned around, like a young man of seventeen or eighteen, he quickly climbed up to the outpost in a few steps, and looked up at the distance.
On the far south bank of the Zamibia River, a place that was originally a green grassland has been covered by a large shadow of black carboxylate.
Although the distance is extremely long, he has also experienced many battles, and keenly felt that from the face he was facing a golden and iron horse killing and killing aura.
General Hassel carefully took out the binoculars from the inner pocket, breathed a sigh of heat at the lens, and stubbornly grasped the sleeve with his stubby fingers, carefully wiped the lens. Until the mist and impurities on the lens were all wiped clean.
He then raised the telescope, leaned in front of his eyes, and carefully observed the south bank of the river.
With the adjustment of the focal length, the dark thing in the lens gradually showed a true face.
I saw many outposts and towering walls. In addition, there are countless black spots walking back and forth.
That is a large barracks~!
Hasselgen disturbed his visual observations, and slightly estimated that there were about 20,000 to 30,000 people in the camp opposite. A large number of flags fluttered in the camp, facing the new army camp across the river.
Hassel knew that this was the rebel reinforcement Lorraine said yesterday, and he secretly said: It's so fast~!
"Hadu can finally give up~!" Hearing this familiar voice, Hassel put down his binoculars, and he saw Lorraine standing beside him, holding a binoculars looking across the river.
"It seems that this guy is here in person." Lorraine said the focus adjuster.
Hassel was startled and exclaimed, "Hadu is here~!"
The surrounding soldiers turned their heads and looked at their coach in surprise, talking to themselves, repeating in a daze! "Hadu is here..." Five seconds later, someone suddenly shouted: "Damn, Hadu is here~!"
"Hadu is here."
"Hadu is here~!
"Hadu is here..."
"Hadu..."
The soldiers of the new army kept repeating that sentence, and spread it quickly like an echo from the mountain.
In less than three minutes, Almohad's former mainstay, undefeated star, and today's rebel gangsters abducted the two princes, and caused the royal fratricidal ān ministers to start a civil war for oneself. The news that the war madman, General Hardu, led the army, arrived at the battlefield in person, spread throughout the new army camp.
This makes the new army officers and soldiers who are worried about their current situation even more disturbed. Their eyes toward the south are full of vigilance and worry.
Although benefiting from the positive publicity of Almohad's officials over the past two years, people have a clear and full understanding of the general who is not as mythological as before.
What kind of lollipops that cheated people at the age of three, stealing other people’s lambs at the age of five, peeping at the neighbor’s aunt’s bath at the age of seven, cheating on exams at the age of nine, and acting as a goldfish at the age of thirteen. The innocence of bullying girls ...
And he never brushes his teeth, does not wash his hands when he has a bowel movement.
Later on, all of them were promoted by flattering officials.
The so-called victory is actually all about killing good. To food and money from the people,
Then pretending to be snatched by Ruman Empire...
Although there are various cruel truths that have been fought and discovered in large numbers, after all, General Hadu's reputation is too great.
And for a long time, the Almohad people have always talked about his record and are familiar with it. No one has defeated that peerless general.
Not to mention, the new army has never won since it confronted him. It was beaten repeatedly and fled in embarrassment.
Even if the others are false, they are always true, right?
Therefore, the new army still has an instinctive awe for him.
Lorraine was keenly aware of this emotion in the army, but at this time, he couldn't say more. It's useless to say such things just by mouth. Only by winning a battle can the fear in their hearts be relieved.
While thinking, he held up the telescope and continued to observe.
"Huh?" Lorraine found a strange thing in the telescope, frowned and looked at it for a while, only to find that only a black spot could be seen at this distance.
Lorraine jumped down from the outpost, walked over to Vera, put the sight glasses into Vera's hand, pointed to the sky facing the guide, and said: "There seems to be something in the sky. Look what it is?"
Vera yawned, rubbed her eyes, took the binoculars and looked in the direction Lorraine pointed.
"It's like" Vera turned the binoculars and murmured: "It's a man. That's right, it's a man in black flying in the sky."
Lorraine secretly said: The person flying in the sky? The mage under Hadu. However, the intelligence did not show that a wizard was working for Hadu. This is inevitable.
"It's raining." Hassel opened his palms and looked up at the sky.
The clouds above the head would have turned into bell ash, and raindrops like fishing lines fell from the sky.
As the rain fell, the temperature became cool and comfortable. The drizzle dispelled the sultry and dry weather, and seemed to temporarily dispel the anxiety of the soldiers of the new army.
The soldiers walked out of the tent, frolicking in the drizzle of méngméng, and the atmosphere in the camp became much more relaxed.
Lorraine pulled Vera back and said, "Just to make up for it. By the way, tell the artillery to pay attention to moisture.
Hassel patted his forehead, and said in his heart: I heard that the propellant cannot be damp, don't forget this, "Beep...oooooo!"
A rapid and loud trumpet sounded.
Lorraine was taken aback, and suddenly realized that this was an enemy attack.
Hassel shouted: "Assemble urgently, ready to fight."
"Gather, gather~!"
"The second team come with me, line up."
"Four teams, gather to the east of the camp."
"Quick, quick, quick~!"
There was a panic in the new army camp. The soldiers ran out of the camp in a hurry, carrying weapons in one hand and the armor of the organizer in one hand.
To the north of the new army camp, less than three miles apart, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in the rebels. There is a long line of platoons, with the drizzle on their heads, their weapons flat, and the sound of drums and bugles. The army camp came.
The new army quickly left the camp, lined up in a neat formation in front of the camp, ready to meet the enemy.
At this time the offensive team of the rebels was only two miles away from the new army.
Hassel watched the enemy approaching from the north, and looked back at the Zamibia River uneasy.
Lorraine patted Hassel on the shoulder, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, Hardu shows no sign of crossing the river. The enemy may be a tentative attack."
Hassel breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't the enemy's full attack.
The artillery of the new army drove the pack horses and pulled the artillery out of the camp. In the excited eyes of the soldiers of the new army, fifteen artillery pieces were drawn to the middle of the new army formation, where there were preset artillery positions. .
The artillery reloaded skillfully, aiming at "Let~!" following the commander's loud command.
The soldiers lowered the torch and lit the fuse. The fuse ignited within three seconds, igniting the propellant in the barrel, and the propellant exploded violently...
There was a loud rumbling noise after another, and a dazzling orange red light spurted from the muzzle.
Then the choking smoke enveloped the gun position.
In the blink of an eye, the unloaded cannonball crossed a low parabola in the sky, landed in front of and behind the rebel wives, rolled on the wet ground for a while, and then exploded completely.
Like a gorgeous yellow sèhuā flower in full bloom, metal fragments representing death shot in all directions, and the rebel soldiers hit by the fragments screamed, clutching their wounds and fell to the ground, tumbling and struggling.
The rebel soldiers who were shelled for the first time were stunned by the roar. They stopped advancing and stayed where they were at a loss.
Let the officers roar behind them, "Go ahead, keep going." The artillery position of the new army flashed a few red lights again, and accompanied by the howling of death, the shells fell into the crowd accurately this time.
The effect of the second round of shelling after the calibration was obvious.
The shells all landed near the rebel soldiers, and with a blast, there were obvious gaps in the front line of the rebels.
Seeing my comrades-in-arms, I was just discussing with myself what devil’s weapon was, but in the next second, half of his head was cut off by a piece of shrapnel. The white head was sprayed with red blood in the air. Splashed on his clothes.
Some New Army soldiers knelt down on the ground and vomited in disgust, some turned around in horror and fled behind.
Initially, there were only a few places to flee, but before the officers could catch the coward who had escaped, more people chose to escape in the roar of the shells before they landed.
The attacking rebels quickly collapsed.
At this time, the rain became denser, and Lorraine's clothes were half wet.
The soldiers of Almohad’s new army cheered and laughed loudly at their timid enemies.
The artillery quickly carried the propellant pack and shells back to the car and covered it with a thick tarpaulin.
There were still some on the ground that hadn't had time to carry them. The artillery simply took off their clothes and covered the shells to prevent them from getting wet.
After returning to the camp, the rain fell and heavier, and water began to accumulate on the ground. Lorraine walked back all the way, with a finger-thick dirt stuck on the soles of his feet.
At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, after everyone thought that the rebels should have learned their lesson, the horn of the battle rang again, and the rebels from the north attacked the new army camp again.
Lorraine and the others were fighting enemies in the rain of méngméng. Just as the new army cursed the rebels and the rascals had not learned enough, they were surprised to find that the opposing rebels no longer lined up in a neat formation, but rather loosely. The skirmishers are formed to kill the new army.
The first shelling didn't have much effect, and each good shell could only kill three or two people.
The artillery instructor made a decisive decision and shouted: "Load the shotgun. Lower the muzzle height."
The artillery carried the grenade back to the car and removed the whole packaged shotgun from above.
The rebel soldiers were pleasantly surprised to find that the enemy's artillery suddenly went silent. Only then did they remember what the officers said that the weapon was really unusable on rainy days.
The rebel soldiers rushed towards the new army's position, getting closer and closer, one mile, eight hundred feet, five hundred feet...
At this distance, the archers in the rebel army have begun to blindly shoot arrows in the direction of the new army.
"Shoot~!"
With a call, the artillery spit out deadly flames again.
Dozens of dove-egg-sized shotguns were ejected from the muzzle under the boost of gunpowder, and shot into the approaching crowd like hail.
The solid projectile hits the human body at high speed, instantly piercing a terrifying hole in the human body.
The approaching rebel soldiers fell in pieces in front of the muzzle. In the blink of an eye, a layer of broken corpses was spread on the ground. The blood and rain were mixed together, and they were trampled into purple-brown mud.
The rebel soldier in the front had fallen down, and the people behind were still rushing forward with their habit. When they almost could see the artillery, the artillery spit out deadly flames again.
Like a wheat field being crushed, the soldiers in the front all fell to the ground.
"Offensive~!"
With an order, the soldiers of the new army who had been waiting yelled "Kill~!"
Stepping on the slippery muddy water, tǐng raised his weapon to kill the enemy. As soon as he touched the scattered rebels, he was stabbed to the ground by soldiers of the new army.
The rebels immediately collapsed, and the soldiers behind turned around and fled back.
The new army has been pursuing them for more than a mile, and before the rebels arrived, they reluctantly returned to the camp.
Despite the victory, Hassel felt even more uneasy. The artillery had just come to inform him that the artillery would be unusable if it doesn't clear tomorrow.
The importance of the artillery to the new army was self-evident, and Hassel immediately told Lorraine the news and asked for his opinion.
And Lorraine simply said "I got it."
When the night rain never stopped, it even developed into heavy rain in the second half of the night.
Two days later, the rain was still falling.
The camp of the new army has become a muddy pond, although it has been chosen to be higher than the nearby ground when setting up the camp.
But after three days of non-stop heavy rain, one foot stepped on the new army camp, and the muddy water reached the height of the ankle.
Walking has become a difficult thing. I stepped on it and pulled it up forcefully, and then sank into the mud again.
Except for the necessary sentry, everyone stayed in the tent, but even inside the tent, there was no dry place.
Fighting is impossible at all in this kind of weather, especially for the attacking side, it can't even walk, and it's a fart.
Lorraine stood at the door of the tent, looking up at the raindrops continuously falling from the black and gray sky, secretly calculating in his heart that although the rain trapped them~EbookFREE.me~, it also trapped the rebels. , If you can go down for a few more days, it would be better to go directly to Grand Duke Julian to lead the reinforcements.
However, in the most optimistic estimate, it will take five days for the peacekeeping forces to arrive.
At this moment, Hassel suddenly rushed in nervously, before he could stand firmly, he shouted: "No, Haddou's army is crossing the river."
Lorraine suddenly raised his head and smiled, and said flatly: "I guess he should be here too."
Then he patted Hassel on the shoulder and said, "Order the whole army to prepare for the battle, and also, hang my handsome flag.
Tell the brethren, in this battle, the glory of resisting and defeating Hadu will belong to us. If we can’t resist, let’s go to together. "
On September 11th, Hardu led 20,000 elites and crossed the Zamibia River in the rain and marched down the city of Priska.
At two noon, the southern army encircled the north and south, and 70,000 troops came out to launch a general offensive on the new Almohad army.
The battle of Priska kicked off in heavy rain. ! .
