On October 11th, in the evening, the Battle of the Iron Horse's Grip began.
Most of the coalition forces were assembled less than five kilometers east of the town. The two infantry regiments running at the forefront have already launched a round of tentative attacks on the Grip of the Iron Horse, but they were quickly repelled.
The failure of the tentative attack did not explain anything. Soon, the main force of the coalition forces launched a fierce attack.
The Knights of Victoria were dispatched directly, with the assistance of the elite troops of the Principality of Florence and the 36th Heavy Infantry Column. Just one round of offensive broke the city gate held by the iron horse.
Admiral Mars, who came from the Kingdom of Victoria, rode his horse through the city gate, looked at the flagpole that had been cut off, and the flag of the White Wolf Legion that had been trampled beyond recognition by the horses and footprints, and said contemptuously: "The so-called White Wolf The Wolf Legion is nothing more than that."
Next to him was the commander of the thirty-sixth column, a colonel from the Duchy of Florence. He complimented from the side: "Yes, that's all. Under the blade of your Victorian Knights, no legion can stop it."
What he said was full of flattery, but at the same time, it also represented a part of the true thoughts of Colonel Florence.
After witnessing the battle of the Victorian Knights with his own eyes, he was indeed full of admiration and even fear for this army. Before, those white wolf guards guarding the city opposite were obviously elite troops, at least no worse than their own subordinates. However, an entire regiment of white wolf guards, with the assistance of almost the same number of crossbowmen, could not withstand the charge of the Victoria knights.
These powerful knights rode their horses galloping, and with one round of impact, they overwhelmed the white wolf guards lined up in front of the Iron Horse Grip gate!
His thirty-six columns were of no use in the battle at all, except that after the Victoria Knights smashed the White Wolf Guards on the opposite side, his soldiers pushed the siege engine and smashed the city gate held by the iron horse. Besides, there are only some jobs like cleaning the battlefield left.
In the past, with the temperament of the arrogant soldiers and warriors of the thirty-six columns, if they were to clean up the battlefield, it would definitely cause trouble. This time, however, they had no complaints.
Almost every soldier was shocked by the heroic posture of the Victorian Knights. They even felt that it might be an honor to be able to fight side by side with such a troop and clean up the battlefield for them.
The news that the gate of Iron Horse's Grip was breached was quickly sent back to the coalition headquarters. When Earl Sade learned that Admiral Mars had led his troops into the city and began to eliminate the Schindlers in the city at an extremely fast speed, he was very relieved.
"Victorians are indeed capable." Earl Sade said to the people around him.
"Yes." Another high-ranking officer of the coalition army answered, Earl Sneijder from the Kingdom of Pudley, "Compared to the previous commander of our vanguard, Admiral Mars and his army are indeed It's very strong."
This remark inevitably has some sarcasm. The so-called former vanguard refers to the army that was defeated by Schindler's General Sako. The commander of that unit was a trusted aide of Thaad. As a result, not to mention the defeat, the commander ran away as a deserter.
Sneijder was very upset that half of the Silver Knights in his hands had been thrown into the hands of such an incompetent person. This is an opportunity, and of course I have to make some sarcasm about Sade.
Earl Sade also knew what was going on in Sneijder's mind. It was certainly an unpleasant thing to be ridiculed, but he couldn't say anything. After all, in this matter, it was his own people who had a problem, and it was hard to shirk the blame. Not only was it meaningless to argue, but there was no possibility of victory.
He could only change the topic to the business: "The whole army can attack. We must strive to hold the iron horse in our hands before dark, and then we can have a good night's rest. Come to think of it, the encirclement of the Schindlers After being completely broken by us, there is no way for them to regroup in a short time, right? We can start again tomorrow morning, return to the city of Bauhinia with full energy, and then think about the next strategic move. "
Sneijder had no other opinion on this.
Soon, the coalition forces moved. The mighty tens of thousands of people began to march towards the grip of the iron horse. All the troops that entered the town were temporarily assigned to the unified command of General Mars, and began to wipe out the uprising at the fastest speed. The Schindlers in the city.
The process went very smoothly without any surprises. The Schindlers' will to resist does not seem to be that strong, and it did not cause too much trouble to the attacking coalition forces at all.
After the sky was completely dark, the battle situation in the town was basically clear. Scattered resistance remains, but the Schindlers have completely lost control of the city.
This process was smooth and even somewhat unreasonable.
Whether it was Earl Sade, Earl Sneijder, or Admiral Mars in the city, they were not too suspicious. Although the enemy's resistance was much weaker than expected, this incident can actually be attributed to the Knights of Victoria. This powerful knight group does have impressive combat power. The battle led by them has become easier, and there seems to be nothing strange about it.
But this relaxed state of mind was exactly what Patience wanted.
At this moment, the elf ranger general is ten kilometers away from the city of Iron Horse Grip. She said to Sacco next to her: "It's hard work for you to perform such a scene with the White Wolf Army."
Sacco grinned and said: "It's nothing hard or not. Things are proceeding step by step according to the plan. It's already night, and the soldiers of the coalition army are slowly entering the city. We are in the grip of the iron horse. The manpower stationed here has basically been dispersed, and the 'big meal' operation should officially start, right?"
"Of course!" Patience laughed, "Our reinforcements should be arriving soon, right?"
After all, the eyes of the two looked at the grip of the iron horse together.
The two Schindler's generals did not keep waiting for a long time, and a grand 'firework' that they had been looking forward to for a long time officially started ten minutes after they finished their discussion.
It was fire, full of fire, green fire!
From the sky, streaks of green fire descended and sprayed towards the coalition soldiers entering the city at the city gate.
A total of seven thick green flames, just one jet, almost melted the not so strong city gate of the Iron Horse Grip! Just after this moment, this place became an out-and-out place that could be called hell!
There were wailing and screaming soldiers everywhere, and there were pus and debris that had been burned to the bone.
That is the corrosive flame breath of the green dragon!
This kind of dragon breath not only has extremely high temperature, but also has quite powerful corrosion ability. Being sprayed by the dragon's breath, of course, is sure to die. Even if it is only wiped off, the extremely strong corrosive power will still penetrate into the human body unreservedly, melting the flesh and bone marrow together, melting beyond recognition.
Among the coalition forces, no one expected that they would suffer such a blow!
Earl Sade, who had just entered the city, could be said to have narrowly escaped death. He looked back, looked at this tragic scene, and exclaimed loudly: "This is the dragon's breath? Aren't these giant dragons supposed to be at sea? How did they come here? Why didn't we have any information about this before?" Got it?"
No one could answer his question, and everyone around him was shocked by this miserable scene.
A moment later, one of his aides said tremblingly: "My lord, Earl Snyder...it seems that he hasn't entered the city yet."
Thad's face became even more gloomy. Of course he knew this. It was at his request that Earl Sneijder was in charge of organizing the follow-up soldiers to enter the city at the city gate. Looking at such a tragic scene, it is estimated that the Earl from Pudry may be in danger.
Sneijder is a very authoritative general in the Pudley Kingdom. He is also a noble earl. He is a powerful nobleman with a high status. Such a person died in the Principality of Florence, and he, Sade, had to bear part of the responsibility himself. The troubles in the future would probably not be small.
But how can he care about these now
Seeing the green dragon's breath spreading towards his position step by step, Sade's main thought at the moment was how to save his own life!
He could only escape backwards.
However, how can a dragon fly in the sky as fast as a person can run
Of course, the war horse that Sade was riding on was a very good breed, expensive, and it was outstanding in terms of endurance and speed. However, even so, it cannot be compared with the giant dragon. What's more, on the roads in the town, it is not suitable for the horses to gallop at full speed, let alone, in the current chaotic situation, the soldiers are in chaos, and there are panicked soldiers everywhere, like headless chickens. run around.
Sade also had no intention of gathering these flustered coalition soldiers. Normally, he would not tolerate his army being so undisciplined and unorganized, but now... Holy Lord, those giant dragons flying in the sky obviously made up their minds to go from the city gate, along the The streets burned all the way to the city held by the Iron Horse. And Sade's position is just on the road where the dragon's breath spreads.
Gather troops? That takes time! What's more, maybe the troops have not been gathered yet, and Longxi will catch up!
If it weren't for the giant dragons in the sky not knowing that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was right under their mouths, otherwise, this Sade would definitely lose his life if he found the target and spit out concentratedly.
His current luck is not bad, he has not been stained by the deadly dragon flame. But in just a few minutes, green flames were everywhere around him.
There is no escape.
In the end, this veteran in his fifties and almost sixties still couldn't escape from the flames. When he was forced into a building by the dragon's breath spreading everywhere, he could only watch the green flames spread from the window and the wall door, and finally screamed , turned into ashes.
And when he died, the coalition soldiers in the iron horse's grip didn't even know that they had lost their supreme commander.
In fact, even if the supreme commander is still there, so what? When the seven-headed giant dragons in the sky gradually dispersed and set fire to the city, the coalition forces entering the city were completely in chaos.
They completely lost their unified command and fled around in the sea of fire. But these soldiers who fell into chaos soon found out in despair that no matter where they ran, they would always be overtaken by flames, or simply ran into a dead end.
Everything is messed up, everything is over.
At this moment, the heart of Admiral Mars, the only remaining senior general of the coalition forces in the city, has become icy cold. There is only one thought in his mind now: the ability of the Schindlers to create fighters is really too strong.
If he didn't understand it now, he would really be sorry for the rank of general on his shoulder.
Obviously, this is a trap.
The Schindlers seem to have gathered a large number of soldiers in the grip of the iron horse, but that is completely an illusion. They took advantage of the elite status of the White Wolf Legion to pretend that they wanted to turn the Grip of the Iron Horse into an iron barrel formation and the last chain of encirclement, but in fact, the city didn't invest much power at all. !
And when he led the elite of the coalition army, defeated the defenders of the city gate, entered the city, and drove the Schindlers out of the grip of the iron horse, it was completely a play by others.
Rather than saying that he drove the opponent out, it is better to say that he took advantage of the situation to give up control of the town.
In the end, their goal was for this grand fireworks. Imprisoning 50,000 to 60,000 coalition troops in this city, and having a feast of human flesh barbecue on an unprecedented scale, I have to say that the plan of the Schindlers is really vicious, and the foreshadowing and temptation made before are also excellent.
It's ridiculous, before he thought that Schindler's elite army was in vain, but it was actually vulnerable. But now it seems that he is the one who is stupid.
How many people were actually burned to death by the dragon's breath? Judging from Mars's many years of war experience, it is actually not too much. The situation at the city gate was indeed quite tragic, but that was because the coalition forces had already felt that there was no threat from the surrounding area at that time, and they were still in a hurry to enter the city, so the troops were assembled very tightly. In the process of queuing up to enter the city, they were attacked intensively by the dragon's breath and suffered heavy losses. Thousands of people were killed in a sea of flames under the attack of the dragon's breath in just one or two rounds.
However, when the attack at the city gate was over and the giant dragons scattered their attack targets throughout the city, the area covered by the flames was actually far less dense than imagined.
