boom–
An artillery shell collapsed the wall of the stronghold, and the Enkelan soldiers who were hiding behind the wall screamed and stepped back, trying to avoid the debris splashed by the collapsed wall, but there were still many soldiers who could not dodge and were caught by The flying debris smashed and fell.
“Bring them on! Fight back! Fight back!”
The Enjun officer shouted loudly, and while taking his subordinates to retreat, the Enjun soldiers quickly retreated, while raising their guns and shooting at the smoke that had not yet dissipated, to cover the comrades who were dragged in front of them who were knocked down.
A soldier wanted to pull back his comrade who was stunned by the fragments, but a row of deformed bullets flew from the smoke. One of the bullets hit the soldier’s shoulder, and the impact made him scream. then fell down.
At the moment of his fall, the soldier saw an unforgettable scene. A volley from the front shot and killed several comrades beside him and behind him who were trying to cover. In the smoke and dust that had not yet dissipated, there was a deafening roar, and then, many imperial soldiers in blue-blue military uniforms rushed out with their rifles.
As soon as the soldiers with their rifles appeared, the soldiers of the Enjun army who had been hit by a volley of volleys on the ground could not care about continuing to maintain order, and subconsciously turned around and ran back.
The officer who was still in command looked at the soldiers fleeing from his side and the subordinates who had been shot, his eyes cracked with anger, he raised his flintlock pistol and killed an Imperial soldier who was rushing towards them, but In the next second, the sharp and narrow bayonet stabbed into his abdomen diagonally from the front, and a pair of big feet also kicked him heavily, knocking him to the ground.
Then, the imperial soldier who killed the officer didn’t even look at the person below who was not completely dead, and continued to charge forward with his rifle.
In the En’s stronghold, the wall they defended was collapsed in many places by the fierce firepower of the imperial artillery, and many soldiers were affected by the artillery bombardment. Morale was down, and one by one they fled.
Among them, there were also soldiers who were unwilling to flee and wanted to stop and fight back, but before they had time to shoot at the chasing enemy, they were surrounded by the defeated crowd and fled in the direction where there was no enemy. Those people could only helplessly in the end. chose to escape.
A similar situation also occurred in the many strongholds of the Enkelan Third Army. Under the fierce offensive of the imperial army, the speed of the strongholds’ fall can be said to be unmatched.
The interior of the Third Army was also troubled by the problem of morale fluctuation. Coupled with the rumors about the riots in the capital circulating in the army a few days ago, it made the soldiers from Enkrans unintentional to fight, and even deserters appeared. event.
Although the practice of spreading rumours by Imperial agents on the front line had achieved considerable results, an official notification was soon sent to the front line, in which the number of deaths due to the gendarmerie repression was reduced to a minimum, and most All were changed to wounded. In order to stabilize the hearts of the front-line troops, the parliament also stated that it would treat the injured civilians and subsidize the cost.
The content of this bulletin was naturally false news throughout, but the soldiers who still had natural trust in the Parliament still reluctantly believed the contents of the bulletin and returned to combat posts under the persuasion of the officers.
However, this problem has been temporarily suppressed, and a bigger problem is still in front of them. The strength of the imperial army is something that the Enkelan Council cannot settle anyway. The soldiers of the Third Army are losing one after another, and every day In the context of the fall of multiple strongholds, morale has been severely damaged. Even if there is no bloodshed in the capital, there will be soldiers who want to become deserters.
Ten days later, in December, the strong offensive of the Imperial Army finally made the Enklan Third Army unable to withstand the huge casualties and pressure, and a large-scale defeat of the entire infantry regiment appeared on some fronts.
And the imperial army also seized this opportunity, opened the battle to the gap left by the defeated infantry regiment, and finally broke through the stronghold of the third army, leaving the endless plain of Enkelan exposed to the iron hoof of the imperial army. Down.
After learning the bad news, the Enklan army quickly organized reinforcements, intending to block the next military action of the imperial army, but the latter’s organization and operational efficiency were higher than theirs.
When the Enklan army had just set foot on the reinforcement road, the imperial army had already set out one step ahead, and the troops were divided into two groups. All the way, they cooperated with the friendly troops that were still attacking from the front to attack the Enklan army. Some cavalry divisions opened the way, entered the flat plain of Enkelland mightily, and swept across.
The Imperial cavalry divisions maximized their combat effectiveness and mobility on the open and flat plains of Enkelan. They followed the orders from above and did not attack the villages, towns and cities dotted on the plains, but directly towards the villages, towns and cities. Move to Enklans City, the capital of the Enklan Republic.
Along the way, they defeated several Enk troops that had been hastily organized to stop them. Almost all of the Enklan’s combat-effective troops were deployed on the front line to resist the offensive of the imperial army, and the military forces in its hinterland Only the local militias and the rabble hurried into battle after only a short training.
Therefore, when the imperial cavalry attacked like a rainbow, the troops of the benefactors were completely powerless to defend. Even when they saw the magnificent scene of the imperial cavalry galloping, their limbs trembled and their faces were bloodless. The gun disintegrated on its own before reaching the range of the gun.
