Veerapurani has been fighting outside the city, closely watching the changes in the battle situation.
At the beginning, the messengers could still know what was going on in the city. But later, the city launched a counterattack. Nearly a hundred cannons fired non-stop, blocking fire, and continued to pour shells on the periphery of the city.
The communication between the city and outside the city was completely cut off.
Therefore, Veerapurani was unable to understand the movements in the city at all. However, he was also battle-hardened and experienced. He could roughly judge the battle situation in the city by simply closing his eyes and listening to the sounds coming from the city with his ears.
The roar of artillery fire, the shouts of killing soaring into the sky, the series of crisp blasts of machine guns like exploding beans, and the screams and wails of the soldiers... fully demonstrated the intensity of the battle.
Although it is not known how many enemies there are in the city, what is certain is that the Semitic soldiers who broke into the city were already locked in a bitter battle.
However, under the blockage of artillery fire, he had no way of understanding the details of the city. He could only stare at it from a distance. Veerapurani couldn't help but feel secretly anxious.
What was surrounded in the city was not 5,000 people, but 50,000, and the forward troops of four entire divisions.
And his total force is only 180,000 men and 12 divisions.
Without Talma's forward team, the main force under his command will be greatly weakened. This will be the heaviest loss the Semites have suffered since the beginning of the war.
More importantly, since the war began, the Semitic army has been advancing vigorously and has never suffered a defeat.
Once defeated, it will be the first defeat since the Semites landed.
And this first defeat was caused by him in Veerappuram.
This will be a huge blob.
Even if he finally captured Fantino and achieved this victory, it would not be able to cover up his failure.
What will other people say about him, and what will the High Priest of the Undead think of him?
A second-rate general who can't fight?
This is not the cheap human vassal army. It is not the rubbish army of Emperor Derosi and other human nobles in Veraplanni's eyes. They have as many human armies as they want.
It's no problem to raise one or two million people a month, but these human vassals are extremely useless and have no fighting capacity. They only show extraordinary bravery when they rob the people's things. Even so, they once created,
A small team was driven out of the fifty-mile miracle of war by a fat aunt holding a kitchen knife.
Not to mention humans, even a Chihuahua is better than them.
Those trapped in the city now are pure Semitic people, and they are the elite of the entire Semitic army.
In the plan of the Semitic high-level people, they are the basis for future domination of the human world.
Excessive losses will not only arouse the dissatisfaction of the Semitic high-level officials, but more importantly, they will also arouse the dissatisfaction of the high priests, because it is quite difficult for the Semitic tribes to replenish their troops across an ocean. This may even affect the high priests.
The human war plan.
At this moment, Veerapurani hated this idiot Talma and cursed him hundreds of times in her heart.
He led 50,000 Semitic elites, but they were surrounded by humans in the city.
You know, that is an army of 50,000 people, enough to cover every corner of Fantino. If you want to completely surround them, at least twice as many human troops must be ambushed in Fantino City.
But that city doesn't look like it can ambush a hundred thousand people.
Talma may have encountered a strong enemy, but as a general, if he can't defeat him, there's no problem in rushing out.
As a result, this idiot was trapped inside and died.
Veerapurani knew that he had to fish out the 50,000 forwards. After observing the battlefield, he quickly ordered the entire army to mobilize, surround it from the other three sides, and attack Fantino.
After seeing the power of cannons, he did not seek to occupy Fantino at this time. He only wanted to rush in, tear apart the human siege, and contact the forwards who were surrounded in the city.
Everything that happened in just half an hour had overturned his previous understanding of war, causing the entire Semitic army to fall into panic.
Not long ago, they were confident of victory. Suddenly, bursts of muffled thunder came from the city of Fantino. The forward was surrounded by people. The soldiers who rushed towards Fantino were killed in the explosion. The troops behind them were killed.
There's no way to rush forward.
The Semitic soldiers didn't even know how all of this happened. Originally, they thought they could have lunch in Fantino City today.
The sound of horns kept ringing in the wilderness.
Under the command of Veraplani, the Semitic army was divided into three parts, bypassed the front city gate, and quickly moved in other directions of Fantino.
The situation on the battlefield was clearly seen by Lorraine, who was standing on top of the Temple of Light, and quickly ordered the soldiers of the Eagle Division to move outside the outer city.
The Eagle Division soldiers in Fantino City quickly rushed towards the city's position.
The Semites in the city were finished. They were blocked by machine guns on the street near the city gate and could not move. Their numerical advantage was useless in the narrow terrain. With just a few machine guns, they could all be blocked.
Although the city gate was not far away, the continuous artillery fire completely blocked the inside and outside. The distance of less than a hundred steps seemed as far away as hell to heaven.
Now, what should be considered more is the Semitic army outside the city preparing to attack.
Large numbers of Eagle Division soldiers were quickly mobilized. With guns in hand and their waists hunched, they quickly headed toward the first line of defense along the trenches.
Because they were fighting on the inside, they moved extremely quickly.
Before the Semitic soldiers had time to appear on the first line of defense, the Eagle Division soldiers had already been deployed in the trenches.
The soldiers jumped into the trench, lay down on the edge of the trench, gripped their rifles and aimed forward, unscrewed the back cover of the grenade and placed it in the most convenient place.
The machine gun was pushed into the bunker made of thick logs. The deputy quickly inserted the magazine into the machine gun. The orc machine gunner held the crank tightly and stared ahead with eyes like copper bells.
The supply soldiers also dragged small and flexible vehicles into the trenches, then unloaded boxes of ammunition from under the vehicles and threw them casually beside the soldiers.
The officers all looked ferocious, waving their revolvers, walking back and forth in the trenches, shouting loudly: "Get ready, get ready~!"
Behind the position, in a well-camouflaged bunker, several Eagle Division soldiers in black were busy.
A man held a high-power telescope mounted on the firing port of the bunker with both hands. He was observing the Semites approaching the position through the telescope, and shouted loudly: "The enemy's main force is 2,400 meters away."
At the same time, next to him, an officer held a map in his hand and a ruler in the other hand. He quickly made a gesture on the map and marked a coordinate on the map.
Then he grabbed a black phone, held the handle on the phone with one hand and shook it vigorously a few times, and shouted into the phone: "Call for support. Call for support."
Immediately, the sound of electric current came from the microphone. At the same time, a vague voice said: "Artillery Headquarters, indicate the coordinates."
The observer quickly reported the coordinates on the map, and within two minutes, the long "whoosh" sound of the artillery shells streaking across the sky sounded above the heads of the Eagle Division soldiers.
Several clouds of black smoke quickly exploded among the Semitic soldiers who were charging quickly.
"Damn, these idiots missed the target again, correct it to the west." The observer quickly fed back the error to the artillery in the rear.
In the artillery position in the Papal Palace, a row of eight heavy artillery pieces is placed in the courtyard.
After correcting the firepower, the artillerymen began to load and fire as quickly as possible, projecting the shells one after another.
The artillerymen were all fighting crazy, and they were all exhausted and sweating. These brats simply took off their shirts, revealing their porcelain muscles. The eyes of the little nuns hiding among the flowers were gleaming, and some couldn't bear it.
Keep licking your lips.
Relying on the artillery observation posts deployed at the forefront, battlefield information is fed back to the artillery in the city in real time through the wired telephone produced by the Flying Eagle Group.
The artillery in the city blasted the battlefield according to the angular coordinates that had been measured.
The Semitic soldiers who rushed towards Fantino struggled under the continuous artillery fire. From time to time, some people were blown into the air. However, the Semitic soldiers were extremely brave. The soldiers behind them bravely withstood the soaring artillery fire and bravely rushed towards them.
Forward thrust.
The commander of the Eagle Division, General Patlaud, followed Lorraine. He was the one who issued the orders for the actual deployment and deployment. After all, he knew his Eagle Division best. Lord Lorraine just dropped some tactics and ideas and then left.
Training an army of more than 10,000 people does not take three to five months. Lord Lorraine does not have that much time to spend in the Eagle Division's barracks. It is the Eagle Division's own business to explore tactics, Lorraine is just
Are you here to observe and give some advice?
Seeing the Semitic soldiers rushing forward and rushing into the smoke of artillery fire, General Patlaud praised and said: "These Semitic people are really brave."
Lorraine sneered and said: "It's not so much bravery as it is that they don't know what kind of weapon artillery is, and the ignorant are fearless.
Believe me, after being shelled once, they will never dare to do this again."
"It's a pity that there are too few artillery." Patlaud then shook his head with regret and said: "It would be great if the Thor Brigade was here. The enemy would not be able to break through our fire blockade."
The Thor Artillery Brigade is equipped with more artillery than the Eagle Division, and they are all large-caliber artillery.
The Eagle Division only had more than ninety large-caliber artillery pieces, and its firepower was scattered in four directions, which was of course somewhat sparse.
Despite suffering huge casualties, the Semites quickly broke through the artillery blockade and rushed toward the first line of defense, shouting.
There was a dense barbed wire fence in front of the trench, where the soldiers of the Eagle Division were waiting for the Semitic soldiers.
Watching the enemy rush into range, the platoon-level 60mm support mortars, which had already been gearing up behind, opened fire.
Accompanied by the clanging sound of the mortar shells as they exited, the Semites who had just survived the large-caliber artillery bombardment had no time to breathe a sigh of relief when another explosion lit up among the crowd.
Some soldiers of the Eagle Division on the front line took out a one-foot-long cylinder from their waists, pulled the handle on the tail hard, pressed down the spring, then stuffed the grenade into the cylinder, and propped it diagonally on the ground.
After turning the angle, he lifted the handle and a grenade flew out of the cylinder.
The grenade thrower developed by the Alchemy Research Institute was inspired by the grenade launcher that Lord Lorraine ordered them to make.
However, it was considered a failure. The thrower's range was not much farther than a human throw, it was easily damaged, and it was quite inconvenient to carry.
However, many soldiers of the Eagle Division like this thing very much, especially in specific environments, such as houses, bunkers, etc., where grenades can be fired using a thrower.
After layers of artillery fire, the number of Semitic soldiers was like potatoes peeled with a knife, becoming fewer and fewer.
The number of Semitic soldiers who could rush to the Eagle Division's position was less than half of the number when they set off. Some were killed by the explosion, and more were lying on the ground in fear - watching the people around them being blown into pieces in the light of the fire.
Debris, severed limbs and limbs hit the body like hailstones, even the elite Semites couldn't bear it.
Although they did this unconsciously, human biological instincts are often the most correct. It was by relying on this action that they saved their lives.
However, even if only half of the people are left to rush through the fire net, the Semitic soldiers still have a numerical advantage.
Moreover, at this time, the artillery no longer poured firepower on their heads, which also greatly increased their courage.
Seeing that they were finally able to rush to the human front and face off against them, the Semitic soldiers immediately shouted loudly and quickened their pace.
They already understood at this time that humans relied on these weird magical weapons, and ordinary soldiers must be vulnerable, just like the human armies they slaughtered.
Then, we saw the Eagle Division soldiers not far away, all of them poking their heads out of the trenches like gophers.
This method of hiding underground made the Semitic soldiers feel ashamed.
And this fully proves that the enemy is a bunch of cowards who can only hide underground and do not have the courage to confront the Semitic masters head-on.
Therefore, many people ignored the gun barrels glowing with steel in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Eagle Division.
Moreover, the barrel of the gun was round and short. It had neither the sharpness nor the flashing edge of the swords in their hands. It didn't look like it had any lethality. Even if someone saw it, they wouldn't care.
They shouted, waved the sharp swords in their hands, and pounced forward. Each and every one of them had a ferocious smile on their lips, as if they had seen the enemy's blood flowing under their swords.
Seeing the enemy approaching, the Eagle Division officer in black shouted: "Fire~!"
At the same time, he raised his pistol and fired randomly towards the opposite side.
Following his order, the soldiers on the position pulled the triggers one after another, and tongues of flame spurted out from the black holes of their guns.
The clear and loud "chunk" sound of the machine gun also sounded.
Countless bullets flew out with long lines of fire, forming a huge fire net in front of them.
The Semitic soldier who rushed at the front suddenly spurted a stream of blood mist from his chest, staggered and fell to the ground after being shot.
At this time, there was only a final distance of less than a hundred meters from the Eagle Division's defense line, but every time the Semitic soldiers took a step forward, some people screamed and fell to the ground.
What frightened them the most was the machine gun protruding from the bunker. Anyone hit by the red light emitted by it would immediately have a big hole in their body, and some would even be beaten in half.
When they rushed to a distance of fifty meters, they found that only a few figures were left around them, and the remaining people had all fallen on the road.
Immediately, those warriors became the key targets of the Eagle Division.
In the blink of an eye, they were shot several times, and they were trembling like leaves in the autumn wind, and finally fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the last trace of courage of the Semitic soldiers disappeared, and someone shouted in horror: "Retreat, retreat~!"
"We can't charge forward, don't die in vain, everyone retreat~!"
"..."
As long as one person ran away, the rest would turn around and run for their lives, and all the Semitic people in the entire position collapsed with a roar.
The soldiers of the Eagle Division did not pursue them, and the officer shouted loudly: "Cease fire, cease fire~!"
Some soldiers stopped shooting immediately and quickly checked their rifles, while some overly excited soldiers seemed not to have heard the order and were still loading and shooting frantically.
The officers were extremely skilled in dealing with this kind of irrational brat. They walked up to him and held down his gun, then kicked him hard several times until he calmed down.
"Check your weapons and ammunition, and replenish grenades~!"
"..."
As the orders were passed down, the soldiers in the trench calmed down and began to check the weapons in their hands. If there were problems with some rifles and machine guns, they would dismantle the weapons on the spot and skillfully troubleshoot the firearm malfunctions.
Seeing the enemy retreat, Patlaud and Lorraine both breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had practiced thousands of times, this was the Eagle Division's first actual combat.
Although theoretically speaking, as long as the supplies can be kept up, the powerful firepower of the Eagle Division can defeat all invading enemies in this era. But that is only theoretical.
Before it is tested in actual combat, no one can be sure that the Eagle Division can stop the enemy.
There were many different voices in the army. However, due to Lord Luo's reputation as the God of War, they were all suppressed.
Once defeated, they will definitely jump out and attack this heavily funded army.
The result of the battle at this moment finally showed that Lord Lorraine's millions were not wasted, and the Eagle Division's combat effectiveness was worth the price.
"They didn't even break through the first line of defense." Patlaud laughed lightly and said, "I originally thought I had to put them into the city to fight."
Lorraine took a deep breath and said: "That's because they don't have air support yet, but the enemy will figure it out sooner or later. This war has just begun."
"Yes~!" Patlaud nodded heavily.
"Have the demons surrounded in the city not surrendered yet?" Lorraine turned his head and looked to the west of the city. A large group of Eagle Division soldiers surrounded the place tightly.
"Yes, they have been resisting stubbornly just now, maybe they were lucky, but now, they should be worried." Patlaud shrugged. He didn't care about the life and death of these tens of thousands of Semitic people, but he was worried about the possibility of fighting.
Hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition.
A cold light flashed in Lorraine's eyes, and he snorted coldly, saying: "It seems I have to solve it myself."
He turned around and walked quickly down the roof of the temple.
The tens of thousands of Semitic soldiers who rushed into Fantino are still surrounded on the streets inside the west city gate.
The streets were littered with the corpses of killed Semitic soldiers. Especially in front of the city gate, there were two thick piles.
The Eagle Division soldiers still kept their guns pointed at them.
A battle just ended here. When the Semites attacked the city just now, the people in the city wanted to cooperate and rush out, but they were beaten back mercilessly. In addition to leaving thousands of corpses behind, the Semites were unable to advance half the way.
step.
When Lorraine came here, she saw many Semitic soldiers hiding in corners, in flower beds, or behind barricades, but most of them were still exposed to the muzzle of the gun.
The atmosphere here was unusually silent. The two sides were a hundred or ten meters apart, and no one spoke.
Only one officer of the Eagle Division held up the microphone and shouted over and over again: "There is no way out to resist, surrender as soon as possible~"
Lorraine stepped forward and grabbed his microphone and shouted: "I am Lorraine."
The Semites on the opposite side immediately made a commotion. Behind Lorraine, there was a clatter of the gun bolt being pulled.
It can be seen that the Semites at the front retreated at the same time, with a look of fear on the soldiers' faces.
They haven't surrendered yet, just because they still hold on to the hope of breaking out.
At this time, the Eagle Division soldiers who had just repelled the Semitic attack outside the city came to support. More people appeared in the encirclement network surrounding the Semitic tribe, and even set up mortars in the rear.
Lorraine smiled slightly, and of course he understood what these Semitic people were thinking. At this moment, the reinforcements should have dispelled the last glimmer of hope in their hearts. Lord Lorraine had his own plan in mind for retaining these people.
"Surrender and keep you alive. I'll count to ten. If you don't surrender, I'll kill you all. Nine," Lorraine said loudly: "Eight..."
His tone was very calm, as if he was just counting.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, fight with them~!" A loud shout came from the crowd of Semitic soldiers, but the soldiers in front did not react. They were not stupid and knew that they would die if they rushed forward.
Lorraine snorted coldly and snapped his fingers. Suddenly there was a gunshot above his head. The Semitic man in the crowd who had just shouted was killed with a precise shot by the ghost shooter.
"Seven, six..."
The soldiers of the Eagle Division raised their weapons, put their fingers on the triggers, and showed cold expressions on their faces. They just waited for Lord Lorraine to say "one" and then started killing them happily.
"Stop counting, we...surrender~!" A dejected cry came from behind the Semitic tribe.
The Semitic soldiers in the front row could be seen breathing a sigh of relief at the same time.
As the elite of the Semitic tribe, although they are brave, it does not mean that they can endure the fate of being abused.
Lord Lorraine curled his lips and muttered: "You eggless coward, I counted five."
Then he took out a gold coin and placed it in Vera's open palm, saying: "Okay, you win."
Vera smiled and put away the gold coin she won from the bet.
Mazovia, who was standing next to her, was secretly surprised when she saw this, wondering how long ago it was, but these two people were still in the mood for a bet.
Patlaud rolled his eyes and pretended not to see it.
Lorraine threw the microphone to Mazovia behind him and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."
Mazovia hurriedly took the phone and was dumbfounded. She said in a squeaky voice: "But, I...we don't have it."
Lorraine complained angrily: "Don't you still have the Knights Templar? Do you need me to teach you all these little things?"
Mazovia quickly shook his head and said loudly: "Yes, sir, I understand."
"Keep them well, I will still have use for these people in the future."
