A series of black shadows cut through the smoke and hit the ramparts of the bastion. Most of the shelling only knocked down clods of earth and fell into the trenches, but the explosions and smoke of grenades and smoke bombs still spread quickly.
The Confederate soldiers on the bastion were the first and second armies of the Sevasto Front organized according to the new organization. Twenty thousand people were hiding behind the bunkers from artillery fire, unaware of the situation on the battlefield. Even if they bravely stood up to observe
The officer quickly lost sight of the situation. Smoke and debris from three hundred cannons filled the field of vision, and there were fires and collapses everywhere.
The shelling became more intensive. The Senate's artillery was at a disadvantage in the exchange of fire, but they seemed to have been ordered to increase their firepower on the front of the bastion at all costs.
"Comrades, this is the signal for the general offensive," Roland said goodbye to the frontline commanders at the headquarters, "Let's go fight."
They could hear the neat drumbeats and steps, and the rumbling ground was getting closer and closer.
"The enemy is coming!"
"Ready for battle!"
Two urgent bugles were blown from the observation post. The squadron officers and sergeants came over to kick the butts of the soldiers whose faces were covered with dirt.
Squadron after squadron, military flag after military flag, battle infantry wearing red uniforms and breastplates and iron helmets formed a red line surrounding the bastion.
"Fire the bayonet!"
"Load!"
The infantryman inserted the bayonet into the slot under the gun barrel, loaded the ammunition skillfully, and then looked ahead, waiting for the order to fight.
Battalion and corps commanders rode by on horseback near the battle line, shouting battle slogans:
"Here, fight to the end!"
Another round of artillery shells came over, and the long queue of soldiers and parapets were made several holes by the beating artillery shells. Others did not dare to violate discipline and turn around to look, but the torn bodies, torn arms, legs, feet and heads fell to them
His shoulders and head were covered with blood and flesh, and there were broken corpses everywhere.
The screaming wounded were immediately carried away by auxiliary soldiers.
The artillery fire was fierce, and the huge killing effect produced after each shell hit the ground made some soldiers whose bodies were covered with the blood and flesh of their comrades shaken. However, the dense formation, discipline and fighting will did not make them retreat, and soon the officers
Inspired by the courage to regain courage.
Suddenly, the continuous bombardment stopped! Not only the terrifying artillery fire from the opposite side, but also the Confederate's own 6-pounder and 12-pounder guns stopped firing, leaving only a few scattered loud sounds from the 24-pounder guns.
The artillerymen worked hard to clean the barrels and poured cold water on the barrels.
It was hard to see clearly through the smoke, but the dense footsteps were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, rapid drum beats and bugles sounded, and two eagle flags held high appeared in the smoke!
A breath that the soldiers could not see clearly or understand surged up. Thunderous flashes appeared in the smoke, followed by the roar of mountains and tsunamis.
"Legion warriors, show your blades and embrace the glory of battle!"
After paying huge losses in artillery fire preparations, the troops of Beyelan's Kondai and General Qiulin advanced to a place three hundred meters in front of the bastion. They had already drunk special potions, invisible psychic shields and strengthened
fell upon the whole army.
The soldiers of the Bayeran Legion felt that their strength was too much to use up! They gave up the traditional throwing of spears and shields, wore iron armor, held big swords, halberds or double swords, and came with siege ladders from mountains and seas!
"Shotshot!"
"Standard 300 - release!"
The Confederate artillery gave up suppressing the Senate's artillery and used all their strength to intercept the legion's attack with shotgun shells and grenades. The artillery sprayed thick smoke and fire almost non-stop, pouring dense projectiles like raindrops on the heads of the legionnaires.
Grape-sized pellets swept away in pieces, shattering the legionnaires' shields, breaking open their breastplates, and beating their chests and limbs into a bloody mass.
The soldiers fell one by one, and the soldiers behind them jumped over them, holding giant swords and halberds, and carrying ladders on their shoulders, and continued to advance.
The legionnaires spread out in front of the enemy under dense artillery fire. They charged in three columns in a large group, as fast as clouds and water. The columns that were hit by intensive shelling were hit one by one, but there was no chaos at all, and there was no noise or commotion at all.
There was no sound, it was extremely quiet!
Quickly changing formations, fearless of death, heavily armored giant sword, charging distance beyond the limit of human physical strength, and even trying to climb the bastion using a ladder... Harandil who came to the front line was stunned.
"This is what Bayerland Superman is...
"Has Griffith fought with these men before?"
The new type of legion completely surpassed everyone's understanding of the legion. The forwards attacked in columns, minimizing the damage caused by shelling. They quickly approached less than a hundred meters in front of the barrier with shotshells. Some of the Confederate artillery gave up interception and began to move deeper.
Attack, the rest began to adjust their muzzles, preparing to attack between the Acute Angle Fort and the Obtuse Angle Fort.
This charge shook the Confederate soldiers greatly. The teeth of the soldiers were chattering. They were troops recruited from all over the country, and some of them had not long ago served in the legion and auxiliary corps.
Several charging columns of the Beyeland Army were wiped out by artillery fire, and the columns behind them immediately caught up and took their places and continued the charge.
Whether they were veterans of the legion, rebels, or newly recruited recruits, they were greatly shocked just by facing the charge of Beyelan's elite troops.
"shooting!"
The infantry officers behind the parapet raised their command knives at the same time.
Thousands of flintlock guns emitted crackling shots, and a dense rain of bullets swept across the entire front. A large number of people under the bastion were shot and fell to the ground. The shields of many legionnaires were exhausted in an instant, and the lead bullets
It hit their bodies. However, they rolled around on the ground, and some of them got up and continued to move forward.
This scene stunned the Confederates from top to bottom, and they began to instinctively fire with all their strength. The skirmishers and Extraordinaries on the sniper tower also tried their best to intercept.
As the regiment approached the trenches and ramparts, the artillery and rifle fire became more intensive.
The legionnaires set up the ladder on the trench and jumped over it like lightning. The ladder behind them was brought up and they went straight up towards the barrier.
"clang!"
As soon as the iron hook at the end of the ladder was placed on the parapet, it was locked tightly. This series of buckles seemed to turn on a switch for the Confederate soldiers, and everyone went crazy.
The gunners deployed on the ramparts were shirtless and tried their best to quickly fire cannonballs at the increasingly dense troops between the Acute Angle Forts.
"Salvo! Release!"
Red fire snakes flashed along the parapet. The legionnaires were hit by fire from the left and right wings, and fell into the trench one after another. Several sections of the trench were quickly filled with corpses, and the people behind stepped on the corpses and rushed to the foot of the barrier.
, and then were knocked down in batches by the firepower fired from the slope on the other side.
The greatswords and halberds of the legionnaires swayed under the eyes of the battle infantry. The grenadiers threw hand grenades downwards. Explosions were heard one after another, the trenches and ramparts were shrouded in thick smoke, and shrapnel and fragments hit the groups of soldiers.
kill.
There is no safe place.
Harandil couldn't see the battlefield clearly, so he could only climb to the nearby sentry tower. The sentry tower seemed to be floating in the sea of clouds, and below it was the crowd rolling like a stormy sea. There was no need to aim at the 6-pound cannons everywhere, as long as they pointed towards the opposite side.
It blasted downwards from a convex angle and an inclined plane. Every shelling shot out dozens of cannonballs towards the crowded legions, beating their flesh and blood everywhere.
The corpses of beaten legionnaires lay all over the place, but they still kept climbing up. Those who had not yet had their turn to climb used their own grenades to attack the infantry behind the parapet.
At first, they climbed down a few times before being shot down. The confusion of the Confederate army's shooting also intensified, and some cannons had to be stopped to cool down. Soon, legionnaires began to approach the parapet.
Suddenly, an officer holding two swords stepped on the shoulders of the legionnaires and crossed the crowd. He stepped on the ladder with great skill, grabbed the shoulders of the soldiers who were still climbing and pressed them, directly crossing the parapet and landing on the line of infantry.
around.
The battle infantry turned their heads and saw him, but they had not yet turned their guns. They saw that the officer who had only seen this enemy seemed to press the two swords on his waist at a slow speed, half-kneeling, turning sideways...
The whirlwind suddenly rose, and the sword light flew like two spiral thunderbolts. Officer Beyelan flew among the infantry in the battle, and the soldiers who were approached by him were torn into pieces, and each one was broken at the waist.
This blow threw the battle infantry into chaos. Many sergeants immediately rushed forward with bayonets in hand, but none of them was an enemy. The entire squadron retreated continuously under the momentum of a sword master.
Officer Beyelan opened a breach, and the legionnaires behind risked their lives and climbed over the parapet to gather.
…
The battle rhythm of the army with high-level combat power is very fast, and one mistake will lead to danger. The Confederate Army Headquarters and the frontline headquarters specially set up copper pipes for communication to avoid the death of the messenger or the interference of psychic energy.
The means failed.
Even so, the headquarters staff were still in chaos.
"What, what? Louder!"
"Can't stand it anymore!? What does your battalion do for food? Tell your battalion commander that if you can't hold the position, military law will be engaged. Yes, support will be here soon!"
Werner Negri summarized the situation on the front line. In many places, the fighting was extremely fierce. The Beyonders in Beyelan's army had amazing fighting power and had already made several breakthroughs.
The battalion guarding Fort Crown Obtuse suffered particularly heavy losses.
Is the morale on the opposite side locked? Can a bastion guarded by line infantry artillery be penetrated in one day? Is this reasonable... Roland gritted his teeth and said sternly:
"I don't want their casualty figures,
"Tell commanders at all levels that even if all the troops are exhausted, they must hold on until reinforcements arrive!"
