, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the total war of the alien empire!

Different from the plot of Rotten Street, the grenade thrown by Callahan before his death did not stop the Greek artillery fire. The grenade fell less than one meter away from the artillery and exploded. Artillery, but still failed to stop the latter's reloading.

After the shotgun was loaded, the artillery roared again, and the grenadiers who fought against the Greek infantry were hit hard again. If they were ordinary troops, they would have been crushed, but they were worthy of the elite name of the grenadiers, even if they were After being bombarded twice with cannonballs and being attacked by a large number of enemies, they were still able to maintain a stable formation and exchange fire with the enemy.

Soon they were not fighting alone. As more and more line infantry entered the gap along the line when they came, the battle situation was reversed. Under the fierce attack of the high morale Rumont infantry, the garrison The Hildi army on one side could only continue to retreat, calling for reinforcements to the division headquarters.

At the same time, the offensive in the other two directions also made progress. The grenadiers of the 2nd Division, who were not afraid of death, directly pushed through a barrage of cannonballs fired by the Greek artillery, and rushed to them while they were still reloading. On the face of the Greek army line, the grenade was smashed at the latter as a stone, forcibly breaking through the Greek line of defense, and the line infantry who were attacking behind them entered the fortress, and exchanged fire with the waiting Greek army.

The sound of gunfire inside the Kelun Fortress was loud, and the Greek soldiers had to retreat under the strong attack of the enemy. The two sides continued to see each other in important places such as the armory and barracks. In order to win the fortress as soon as possible, the soldiers initially occupied the periphery of the fortress. Afterwards, the commanders of the divisions reloaded their artillery and sent them to the interior of the fortress to bombard the enemy infantry at close range at the risk of being shelled by enemy howitzers.

However, it turned out that their worries were in vain. The shells of the Greek howitzers had already been used up. The attacking Lumen soldiers all died under the barrage of cannonballs. On the road inside the fortress, the blood that belonged to the Lumen soldiers almost stained the entire road red.

It was not until the Lu army artillerymen joined the battle that the arrogance of the Greek army artillery finally came to an end. The revenge artillery shells from the Lumen army roared into the Greek army defense line, overturning and destroying the Greek army artillery that was still being loaded, and also in the crowd. Drag out a **** road.

The fighting lasted until noon the next day, when the three divisions of the Second Army of the Republic of Rumen finally cleared all the resisting Greek troops in the Kelun Fortress. There were more than 8,000 soldiers of the Second Division of the Greek Army trapped here. Except for those who were killed in battle, they all became prisoners.

In the final stage of the Lumont army's siege of the headquarters, seeing that failure was unavoidable, the commander of the second division of the Greek Army committed suicide in the headquarters, and his lieutenant immediately took over the command and ordered the entire division to surrender.

This battle only lasted for a short period of eight days under the storm of the three divisions of the Lumen army. Inside and outside this ancient fortress, more than 3,000 Lumen soldiers died for the country, countless injured, and another 5,000. Many Greek soldiers died in battle, and more than 3,000 soldiers led by the lieutenant became prisoners. The large amount of military supplies and abandoned firearms and artillery hoarded in the fortress also became the spoils of this victory.

This battle is also the one with the largest number of casualties in a single battle for the Rumont army since the outbreak of the current war. Although the fortress of Coron was successfully captured and the direct connection with the country was opened up, the casualties were still the three divisions involved in the battle. It takes a while to repair before returning to war.

...

While the siege of Coron Fortress was going on, on the other side, the Rumont cavalry who carried out the "Sword of Cross" plan, headed by the 1st and 2nd cavalry divisions, penetrated into the abdomen of the Hildi Kingdom, relying on the lurking inside the country in advance. The intelligence provided by the spies of the Intelligence Bureau began to frequently attack the logistics transportation lines and military supplies storage points of the Greek army. Those ordnance factories built in the suburbs were also not spared and were also attacked.

Not only that, under the instruction of Charles, the Rumont cavalry also attacked the manors of the nobles and wealthy businessmen who liked to live in the suburbs, looting their family property, and setting fire to those who could not be robbed - the owners of the manor did not. If they survived, they were directly hanged by the Lumen cavalry on the street lamp outside the manor, which became a beautiful landscape.

In the face of absolute strength, Charlie no longer needs the support of the local nobles, so he specially declared in his attack on the Hildi kingdom that the cavalry division implementing the "Sword of Cross" plan must take those who oppress Hildi. The nobles and wealthy businessmen of the people were executed, so that the army of the Republic could "liberate" the people of Hildi smoothly in the future, without being secretly provoked by some petty people.

This cannot be said to be a double standard. Although the Constitutional Amendment Commission restored the hereditary system of the nobility after Charlie was elected president two years ago, they still cannot arbitrarily prey on the common people, and they will not be in front of the laws of the Republic. Because you are a noble, it can be said that compared with the nobles of the Hildi Kingdom, the nobles of the Rumont Republic only have more wealth and hereditary rights of estates and titles than the commoners.

It is precisely because of this that the Rumont cavalry has always had a high sense of superiority in the execution of the "justice" against the wealthy businessmen of Hilde...

The rampage of the Rumont cavalry in the country once again caused a sensation in the entire Hildi Kingdom~www.readwn.com~ Those aristocratic and wealthy businessmen living in the suburbs hurriedly packed up their properties and fled back to a safe city overnight with their wives and children to settle down. The cavalry divisions that went to the front were also urgently transferred back to clean up the group of enemies who were making troubles in the country.

However, before the cavalry was transferred back, the bad news from the Coron Fortress once again caused an uproar in Hildi. A strong fortress with more than 8,000 garrisoned troops actually fell to the enemy in just eight days, including the division commander. Most of the soldiers inside were killed in battle, and the number of enemy soldiers killed in battle was far lower than them. This record inevitably made some people feel frightened.

With the help of the Rumont workers, panic appeared in the society of the Hildi Kingdom. Some scholars who were bought off began to trumpet the fighting strength of the old enemies in the south. They claimed that the reason why the Rumont people could have such a high fighting strength It is because of their democratic system. Only democracy can make the country prosperous and strong. If the Hildi Kingdom continues to maintain the monarchy, it will be conquered by the enemy sooner or later!

If put today, those scholars can uniformly call them "public knowledge", but it has to be admitted that they also played a great role. The more people support, some small groups inspired to follow the example of the Lumeng people to start a revolution have gradually appeared in the public's field of vision...
