Chapter 419: Inch Fire Begins

A horse team galloped across the wilderness, and the direction the horse team pointed was Storm City. ≥ Top ≥ Point ≥ Small ≥ Said, Allen was riding a horse and running at the forefront of the team, followed by Regis and others, and behind them were a hundred inch fire fighters. As for the technical team, they will stay in Sur City for the time being. After Storm City calmed down, Edward sent them there.

"Why is Storm City surrounded by people?" Lucy rode to Allen's side and asked.

She was asking about the thoughts of the people next to her. After hearing that Storm City was under attack, Allen decided to set off immediately, but she didn't have time to explain the specific reason to everyone.

Hearing Lucy's question at this moment, he said: "It was done by the private army of other nobles. I thought that the Black Iron Fort had repented, but it is not."

According to Edward, the cause of the incident must start more than a month ago. At that time, a business group came from the inner sea of ​​the empire and landed at Violet Port. They approached the Lily Chamber of Commerce, hoping to cooperate. But after that, they turned around and found Storm City. The reason is that the Lily Chamber of Commerce is an agent of the textile fabrics produced in Suer City. Once this fabric was imported into the interior of the empire, it quietly became popular in the market. This alien caravan came from behind the scene. At that time, Allen returned to Earth, and Edward went to Storm City to handle some government affairs.

After hearing that Edward was in Storm City, the business group approached him, hoping to have a long-term cooperation with Sur City. However, they were not half-sincere. After contacting them, Edward tactfully rejected them when he heard their unusually low purchase price. Afterwards, the representative of the caravan was very angry when he left, and even put down the words like telling Edward to be careful.

Edward naturally didn't take this kind of unnutritious threat to heart. In the morning of the next day, he returned to the city of Sur. But the caravan still stayed in Storm City, and the caravan guards made trouble in the city. Roy, who was in charge of Storm City, would naturally not be polite to them, and ordered the soldiers to arrest them all. The guards were released only after the caravan paid the required deposit.

Afterwards the caravan left, but not long after, several armies approached the city. And asked Storm City to compensate for the loss of the caravan, Roy naturally would not agree, so those troops stationed outside the city and surrounded Storm City.

In the end, Edward said affirmatively: "This is a game, a trap from beginning to end. The caravan and even their guards making trouble are just an excuse for the noble army behind them to besiege the city."

After hearing this, Lucy couldn't help sighing: "It's really a standard aristocratic practice."

Two days later, they entered the boundaries of Storm City. On the grass outside the city, a camp can be seen from a distance. There are various flags fluttering in the camp, but judging from the patterns, they can be divided into three types. One is the emblem of the redbud flower, with a poisonous snake hovering below it; the second is a castle on a mountain peak, with a golden sun hanging behind it; On a land of thorns.

These three flag emblems naturally represent different nobles. Allen kept them silently in his heart, and then looked at the battlefield from a distance. At this moment, the three noble coalition forces were launching an attack on Storm City. Storm City used the two bursting cannons on the city wall as fire suppression, and then used the fire/gun team to form a short-range firepower network, using the condescending advantage to suppress the enemy's attack.

A row of temporary fortifications were built on the side of the steelworks and weapons workshop. The defensive performance of these temporary fortifications is naturally not as good as the high walls of Storm City, so Roy arranged the shooters equipped with active rifles on that side, plus the Mountain King troops to sit there. To capture that factory area is not much easier than capturing Storm City.

The three private armies of the nobles together have more than 2,000 people. In terms of military strength alone, it is much better than Storm City. But when it comes to quality, it's a far cry. After Storm City was taken by Allen, the army continued to add and upgrade equipment after many times of rectification, and its combat effectiveness was no longer comparable to that of ordinary noble troops.

Especially the rifle team of Shanwang, Dark Blade, and Yuanli rifles are much higher than the standard of ordinary noble troops. Therefore, although the three noble coalition forces had many soldiers, Roy adopted firm defense tactics. With Bloy, Belmode and other powerhouses as the fulcrum of the defense network, plus three special teams and the original knights and army of Storm City, they firmly guarded the positions within 100 meters outside Storm City.

Storm City is like a reef standing in the raging sea. The enemy soldiers are surging, but they can't push down the reef.

Among the three armies, an army with the unicorn banner kept attacking the factory's position. That army had the largest number, among which cavalry accounted for half of them. These cavalry took advantage of the mobile arms and continued to organize offensives to attack positions. A wave ends flat, and another wave rises again. After each attack, regardless of whether there is any gain or not, they are spread out from both sides, so as to give the subsequent echelons room to continue to attack.

From time to time, one or two bursts of strong momentum will erupt from the enemy army, which is an assault by the strongest in the enemy army. Often at this time, Broy's rough and tough aura will rise, and then there will be a strong collision of source force like drumbeats on the battlefield. Bloy is very tough and has become an important fulcrum of the factory's defense line. He is like a standing god of war, as long as he is in the army of the king of the mountain, everyone will be as powerful as a rainbow.

After observing for a while, Allen said to Udi, the officer behind him: "Captain, the war you want is in front of you, so behave well."

"No problem, sir." Udi turned around and yelled at the soldiers of the fire force behind him: "Boys, it's time for us to perform. Let the bumpkins of these planets see how powerful our Sirius army is!"

The soldier raised his gun and responded loudly.

Udi ordered two second lieutenants, waved his hand towards the battlefield, and left quietly with the Inch Fire troops.

The battlefield is full of life-threatening fights, but the noble coalition forces suddenly discovered that an army that appeared from nowhere without a serial number and flag suddenly joined the battlefield from the left flank of the coalition forces. The trajectory of their advancement was clear, and they pointed directly at the private army bearing the unicorn flag emblem. The commander of the army didn't care when he saw this. As soon as he pointed his fingers, a cavalry brigade and three hundred infantrymen broke away from the team and headed towards the inch of fire to kill them.

Inch Fire suddenly had a troop divided into two groups, each under the leadership of a second lieutenant to cover and advance each other, and immediately fought against the private army. Among the troops, Udi rushed to the forefront. He even bites a cigarette, with a sword in his left hand and a pistol in his right. Going straight to a captain who was in charge of leading the enemy army, Udi's aura suddenly exploded. Even if there is no improvement in other equipment capabilities, Udi's combat power as high as level 18 is a real first-class combat power on this battlefield.

The enemy army commander was no more than level 15 anyway, and his aura was immediately overwhelmed by Udi. Udi is very experienced, with a wave of the saber, he quickly grabbed the legs of the saber. The sword flashed, and the enemy cavalry immediately stumbled and threw the captain off the horse. The opponent rolled over and stood up holding the sword. Udi had already been killed, and he swung a saber in his hand impenetrably, attacking like mercury pouring down the ground. After the captain blocked more than a dozen knives, Udi caught a flaw. With the twisting of the saber, the opponent's long sword was twisted away, and then he swung his left hand, and a burst shot directly opened a bullet hole in his helmet.

The captain didn't understand until his death why Udi's pistol was so powerful that it penetrated the helmet made of two layers of fine steel inside and out. Naturally, he would not know that the pistol in Udi's hand was Yuanli pistol.

There was no suspense in the battle that followed. The Inch Fire Troops could be said to be armed to the teeth, with a set of Flame Warriors. The fire rifles in the hands of the soldiers were astonishingly powerful, and the rough and frightening voice became a lullaby on the battlefield. Wherever the gunshots went, the enemy troops were harvested like straw.

The Cunhuo troops quickly swallowed up the intercepting army, and forced their way in and pierced through the enemy's rear. The two separate teams continued to expand the enemy's wounds with exquisite cooperation. Its speed was so fast that by the time the commander of the unicorn army reacted, the rear of the troops was already out of formation. At the moment, he no longer cared about attacking the factory's position, and ordered the cavalry to turn around, hoping to capture the support army with superior strength.

However, when the cavalry turned back to charge, Udi smiled and made a gesture. Immediately, the Inch Fire Department formed a well-defined echelon shooting formation, with a total of three rows in front and back, and the firing formation of more than 50 people faced more than 400 cavalry. According to the military common sense of this era, even if these 50 people are allowed to gather fire and shoot, the cavalry can sacrifice at most a hundred people, and they can break up the opponent's shooting formation in one fell swoop.

But when he saw the rough rifle in the hands of the Inch Fire Troops, the commander of the Unicorn's heart was beating wildly, and he always felt that something was missing. When Udi's saber was swung down, all the fiery rifles activated the magic lines, and the rifles lit up, and then a round of fiery missiles dragged bright flame tails, whistling on the battlefield, leaving shocking tracks, showing The parabola fell among the cavalry.

Immediately, a series of explosions were set off, and the cavalry was hit by a heavy artillery bombardment head-on, and hundreds of cavalry in the front row were immediately blown away by the explosion. Then the following horses and bodies were blown down by the blast wave, but before this round of bombing was over, another wave of fire bombs came.

His eyes were stung by the dazzling fire, and the commander of the unicorn stood on the spot in a daze, lost for a few seconds. In this way, the cavalry team he was proud of suffered more than half of the casualties under the two waves of bombing by the opponent. The speed of the battle damage was too fast. So much so that after two rounds of bombing, a dazzling blank appeared on the battlefield. Before the commander could react, the roar of the fire rifle sounded like a beast again, and the barrage like a rainstorm harvested the remaining cavalry.

The commander couldn't bear it any longer, and made a gesture. The messenger soldier next to him was pale, and he raised the battle flag and kept calling for retreat. If they didn't withdraw, the cavalry that had been built up with great difficulty would be completely disabled. The commander could no longer imagine how he would face his immediate superior after returning.

This is too far from their original plan!
