“Has the indigenous coalition all withdrawn?”
“The reporter, sir, all have been withdrawn. Our people have seen it with their own eyes.”
In the camp of the Holy Roman Empire Expeditionary Army, Tronde heard the words of the scout captain in front of him, and thousands of thoughts flashed in his mind.
The sudden retreat of the indigenous coalition forces was beyond his expectation, because they did not inflict heavy casualties on the opponent in the first battle of Bocantu. Only the shelling and the first round of volley broke the offensive of the indigenous people, making them retreat in fear. Statistics after the war only caused more than two thousand casualties to the enemy.
After only more than two thousand people died, they withdrew their troops. This is really not in line with the character of the indigenous people. According to the records of the indigenous people obtained from the book records by Tronde, they will be reported to be brave and brave. Normally, Tronde Inflicting such casualties on them, they will make a comeback after a short period of repairs, giving the expeditionary force more violent revenge.
However, this time they actually left a corpse on the ground and retreated for an unprecedented time. There must be a demon abnormally, which is hard to make Trond feel suspicious.
The second brigade commander Eisner was also puzzled about this. He stood beside Trond. After the scout captain had left, he took a step closer to his boss and asked: “Sir, what should we do next? “
“Let me think about it.” Tronde shook his head and said softly. He frowned, resting his cheek with one hand, as if he was thinking about it. Seeing him like this, Eisner didn’t dare to interrupt him. He closed his mouth and looked down at the scribbled military map on the desktop.
After a long time, Trond put down his hand holding his cheek. He looked at Eisner, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the military map the latter was looking at. He was more sure of his own thoughts, and said: “General Reed, Order the soldiers to pack up, and we will leave here tomorrow.”
“What?” Eisner looked dumbfounded, he raised his head and looked at Trond, wanting to get the answer he wanted from the opponent’s face.
“Where do you want the army to go?” he asked again.
“Go to Begovo.” Trond said in a posture that cannot be violated. He pointed to the location of Begovo city marked with a red dot on the scribbled military map, and said: “Our scouts are looking at the enemy. Moving south, and the city of Begovo is west of us. It can be judged that the enemy’s main force is not going to the city of Begovo. Although I don’t know what their purpose is, we should attack Begovo at this time. This unfamiliar continent has a firm foothold.”
After listening to Tronde’s explanation, Esner still thought it was a bit risky because they did not know the city’s defense forces in Begovo, but they agreed to his decision and turned around and announced the order.
After the expedition order was issued, the soldiers quickly moved to pack their personal belongings and stuffed their backpacks in the camp. At the same time, considering the soft soil of the yellow sand, horse-drawn carriages and the like might not be suitable for use. , So they distributed enough supplies to each soldier, and then transported the remaining supplies back to the ship through the temporary port.
Because there were not many native prisoners of war captured, the hard work of transporting supplies was still undertaken by the white slaves who accompanied the army. Under the supervision of the soldiers, they worked together to transport boxes of supplies from the long planks laid down to the deck of the transport ship. If there is a mistake, what is ushered in is the relentless flogging of the overseer.
…
The next day.
Considering that the sea is relatively fast, Trond and Sigurd discussed it, and finally decided to board the ship and head west along the coastline. Thanks to the sunny days and the mainland of Zane. The coast was calm and calm, so it only took a little more than a day for the fleet to reach the sea near Begovo. The sailors who climbed up the poles could even vaguely see the black spots on the land that represented the city.
After entering the nearby waters, the fleet did not go directly to the city of Begovo, but landed on the coast, laying down most of the army and artillery. Trond personally led the team. He led the army to the city of Begovo. Before it approached, the army was discovered by the sentinel on the wall. Although I don’t know which force it is, the city of Begovo sounded the warning for the first time. The bell sounded, the alarm bell rang, and the whole city boiled.
When the expeditionary army came to line up outside the range of the city wall defender, the city wall was already full of soldiers, each of them holding a crossbow or javelin, watching the approaching strange army vigilantly, and waited.
Upon seeing this, Tronde did not do much nonsense, and directly ordered the cannon to be fired. After more than ten minutes, dozens of artillery were aimed at the city wall. The sun shone and fell on the muzzle to reflect dazzling light.
The soldiers on the wall didn’t know what this peculiar weapon was. Most of them were poor people who were forced to leave their homes and fled here because of their short-sightedness. Not only did they never hear the reputation of artillery, they might not know. The Holy Roman Empire was founded by the Kingdom of Winster.
Although their commanders had heard a little about the sharp firearms of the Holy Roman Empire, they did not pay much attention to them, which caused the tragedy of Begovo.
“fire!”
Amid the stern roar, dozens of artillery pieces were ignited all at once. A few seconds later, the deafening sound of artillery resounded outside Begovo. The black artillery shells hit the city wall, and the soldiers were horrified by the sound of ear-piercing artillery. At the same time, the shells hit the surface of the city wall heavily, or flew over the city wall and fell into the city. The soldiers on the city wall only felt an earth-shaking vibration from under their feet, and the city wall that was impenetrable to the natives collapsed and buried the soldiers on it.
The sound of shelling on the land seemed to be an agreed signal~www.mtlnovel.com~ When the sound of the artillery reached the sea, the expeditionary fleet that had already been ready marched toward the port of Begovo, and the city was already there. Trapped in the shock of the artillery, no one cared about the fleet approaching on the sea. When someone noticed it, it was too late.
Because the Hawke gunboats of the First Fleet were turning their sideboards towards the port, pushing their artillery into the gun positions.
Boom boom boom –
The sound of artillery roaring like a demon rang from the sea, and countless shells roared into the city, smashing the prosperous port. Those merchant ships anchored in the port were also affected. One after another, large shocking holes appeared in the hull. , The waves and sea water poured in along the entrance of the cave, and soon the merchant ship sank into the sea.
The sea outside the city was bombarded on both sides, and the entire city was plunged into irreversible chaos. After several rounds of shelling on the sea, the transport ship sailed into the port under the cover of the Hawker gunboat, docked on the shore, laid down the long wooden planks, and put them on the ground. Then a line of heavily armed infantrymen landed along the planks. The port, after a simple array, advance to the depths of the port.
A few hours later, with the holy roman empire’s black double-headed eagle flag raised at the Palace of the Governor-General, the city finally fell into the hands of the expeditionary army.
