Castle of Black Iron

Chapter 207: The first battle

Views:

To reoccupy Sorane and to kill all the soldiers of the Sun God Dynasty in Sorane are two completely different tasks. From the perspective of the Legion's decision-makers, it seems that the Thirty-ninth Division has not been considered at all. Whether the Iron Blood Battalion can complete this mission, and even if it completes this mission, how much will it cost.

The soldiers of a battalion of the Iron Horn Legion in Solane were completely wiped out by the troops of the Sun God Dynasty. The heads of all the imperial soldiers were chopped off and piled on the wheat field in the mountain village neighborhood of Solane. Therefore, the Iron Horn Legion The heads of those who occupied the Sun God Dynasty in Sorane must also be chopped off and piled on the wheat field.

It's that simple, it must be done no matter how many people are sacrificed.

The Norman Empire and the Sun God Dynasty are currently wrestling with each other in the Karur area. This movement of arm wrestling between countries turns into friction when placed below the legions. The friction between legions is placed below, and that is countless numbers of people every day. People fight to the death in a bloody battle.

This is the first time that a battalion-level force of the Iron Horn Legion was completely wiped out by the Sun God Dynasty in the friction area between the two sides. To complete this action, the Sun God Dynasty surrounded and attacked the troops in Solan, at least the Empire should be in Solana. There were more than twice the number of men in the battalion in Raneh.

The strength advantage of the Sun God Dynasty in the Karur area began to be highlighted at this time. Even in small-scale encounters and battalion-level frictions between the legions, the party with the larger number of people could already fight in the Kaluer area at this time. Some places in the Ruhr formed small-scale local advantages and thus took the initiative.

What happened at Sorane was only a microcosm of the problems faced by the Norman Empire in the Karur region.

Therefore, the Iron-Blooded Battalion must rise to the top. Those people in the Glory Feathers must be taught a lesson. The morale of the entire legion must be maintained through such lessons and victories.

One is occupation, the other is total annihilation. Different missions also bring about adjustments to the combat plan.

This adjustment, under the planning of Major Guderian, was to change the direction of the Iron Blood Battalion's attack. From the north of Solane to the south of Solane, after making a circle, the Iron Blood Battalion will launch an attack from behind the enemy. At the beginning of the attack, they will cut off the suns that now occupy Solane. God's retreat for the bastards.

This adjustment is simple, ruthless, fierce and decisive. Facing the attack from the south, the troops of the Sun God Dynasty who occupied Sorane could only fight to the death with the Iron Blood Battalion. The possibility of escaping to the north of Sorane was zero because of the terrain. It is also very difficult to escape to the east and west sides of Sorane.

When adopting this strategy, the Iron Blood Battalion also faced a very large threat. Once the Iron-Blooded Battalion came into a stalemate with the troops of the Sun God Dynasty who occupied Sorane. It was impossible to kill those guys immediately. As long as another force of the Sun God Dynasty appeared behind the Iron Blood Battalion, the Iron Blood Battalion would be surrounded by enemies and completely fall into passivity.

The appearance of the Iron-Blooded Battalion from the north of Solane certainly surprised the enemy, but at the same time. It is almost equivalent to putting yourself in an encirclement that is easiest for the enemy to encircle.

This plan seemed a bit crazy, because few commanders would take the initiative to jump into the enemy's encirclement to fight, but Battalion Commander Reinhardt was such a lunatic. As soon as Major Guderian's combat plan was proposed. He didn't even ask and accepted immediately.

Because they had to take a detour, when the Iron-Blooded Battalion arrived at Solanei, the distance had to be extended by nearly ten kilometers of mountain roads.

Finally, when the first ray of sunlight in the morning hit Solane, more than a thousand men from the Iron Blood Camp had already circled around a hillside north of Solane and lurked quietly.

Here, it is less than one kilometer away from Solane. After more than 30 kilometers of running, the Iron-Blooded Camp lurked quietly at the door of Solane like a hibernating snake.

The men and horses of the Iron Blood Battalion were lurking in an elm forest. There was no sound from the thousands of people. Everyone was squatting on the ground and began to rest, drink water, eat, and quickly replenish their physical strength.

Everyone has twenty minutes to recover their strength.

Zhang Tie, who was finally able to take a breath, was also taking out the dried meat and eating it, while looking at the small village built on the mountainside with wide eyes in the distance. That small village is Sorane.

There were several plumes of thick smoke rising from the small village. It seemed to be the last gasps of several buildings that had been burning all night before the fire was extinguished. After occupying Solane, the bastards of the Sun God Dynasty tried to prevent It was attacked by a sneak attack at night and several houses in the village were set alight. The ignited houses were like several huge torches, burning all night.

At this time, there are no local residents in Solane. As early as when the armies of the two sides arrived and the confrontation began, the residents around Karur all fled in all directions, whether they fled to Karur , or go south or north, no one wants to be caught in the middle of two legions.

I heard that hundreds of thousands of refugees have gathered under Karur City.

The figures of the Radiant Feather Legion soldiers wearing blue military uniforms were everywhere in the small village. Many soldiers in blue military uniforms seemed to have just woken up and were washing themselves by the river in the distance.

Zhang Tie had no combat experience. He just relied on what he saw and roughly estimated that the number of Brilliant Feather Legions currently occupying Solan was between 2,500 and 3,000.

There is only one main road in the small village, so the attack plan is very simple. The Iron Blood Battalion only needs to rush in along the main road, and then kill all the people wearing blue military uniforms that can be seen along the way. The key to all these actions is to be fast. It is best not to give the troops of the Sun God Dynasty in Solan time to complete their assembly.

After eating two small strips of dried meat, drinking two mouthfuls of water, and resting for five minutes, Zhang Tie's physical strength began to slowly recover. No one eats much, because eating too much will affect the performance of the next battle.

The march just now, carrying half a ton of stuff on his back, was also a comprehensive test of Zhang Tie's physical strength. As long as he walked more than ten kilometers, Zhang Tie knew that he really couldn't support it anymore. Carrying something weighing half a ton was no fun. Zhang Tie was really relieved when he saw Solanai.

This man's proof was a first-class equipment for showing off, but when it was brought to the battlefield, Zhang Tie felt that he was a little trapped in a cocoon for the time being.

After two weeks, when it's the Iron-Blooded Battalion's turn to rest, I think I'll have to change to a new main battle weapon. If I really want to run for my life or run a long distance, carrying such a guy will really be a burden. .

Zhang Tie secretly made up his mind. He felt that this was the first path he understood in this war after getting off the train - don't make a fool of yourself and pretend to be fat, otherwise, you will only suffer the loss. .

Not even two minutes after Zhang Tie made such a sigh, Zhang Tie soon learned the second thing - all battles will not start until you are ready.

Originally, the Iron-Blooded Battalion's scheduled rest time before attacking was twenty minutes, but they only rested for less than ten minutes. From Solan, a group of people had already rushed out of the small village, heading towards the Iron-Blooded Battalion along a mountain road. The area where the battalion was hiding ran over.

There were about five or six hundred people in that team. They left Solane and ran towards this area. Of course, they didn't find the Iron-Blooded Battalion lurking nearby, but they were preparing to leave Solane.

Just when Zhang Tie was wondering whether Reinhard would let these people pass so as not to alert others.

Reinhard's order has been passed down, "Prepare to fight and kill them all!"

Because the order from the legion headquarters was to kill all the bastards from the Sun God Dynasty who had occupied Sorane, Battalion Commander Reinhardt did not intend to let any of them escape.

After receiving the order, the brothers of the two companies equipped with light machine crossbows had quietly lurked on both sides of the mountain road, strung a few strings, placed the crossbow arrows, and each of them began to squint their eyes and wait for the team of people to pass by.

Because this was his first time experiencing such a battle, Zhang Tie was slightly nervous and couldn't help but swallowed twice.

A strong big hand fell on Zhang Tie's shoulder at this time. Zhang Tie turned his head and saw Ferreo quietly squatting behind him, "When the fight starts later, the brothers in the third row will follow. You act, and you just need to follow me, don't be afraid..."

Zhang Tie nodded.

The team of people was trotting forward. Less than a kilometer away, they appeared in front of Zhang Tie's eyes in a moment.

It was a group of glorious feather soldiers. In front of the group, there was a knight in full armor walking in front holding a flag that looked like a pair of wings. There were four columns of soldiers holding weapons and wearing armor. Behind the knights on horseback, at the end of the team, there are several knights who are also riding horses and have relatively more ornate armor. Those knights seem to be officers of this unit.

The troops of the Sun God Dynasty were organized in a three-three system, while the troops of the Norman Empire were organized in a five-five system. The troops of both sides were different in many places. The five or six hundred men in front of them were probably a battalion under the Feather of Glory.

The team seemed not to have expected that they would be ambushed not far from Sorane. The crossbow arrows fired from the elm trees on the roadside immediately knocked half of the team to their knees, making them howl like ghosts.

"Kill!" Battalion Commander Reinhardt was the first to rush out from the elm forest like a tiger. With just one punch, the body of the knight at the front of the team who was spinning around on a frightened horse was shattered into pieces. The pieces of flesh and steel flying backwards shot down a large number of soldiers of the Sun God Dynasty.

The soldiers of the Iron Blood Battalion in the forest rose up like tigers one by one, instantly cutting the team of five to six hundred people into several sections.

Lieutenant Ferreo's main battle weapon is two double-edged giant axes that are like wheels. The majestic bald man swings his arms and swings the giant ax like a humanoid meat grinder. There was no soldier from the Sun God Dynasty who could stand at all.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Lieutenant Ferreo tore a bloody path more than ten meters long in front of Zhang Tie...
