115 Egbert Peigne

The soldiers made a cry like a landslide and a tsunami, and the final distance was reached, and they were about to prepare for a big stride charge.

"Folks, down with the devil! Avenge the tortured folks!"

Ye Wenni picked up a long sword and shouted, the peasants did not choose to escape back to the customs through the passage separated by the [-]th Army. Choosing to pass through this formation would have a serious impact on the formation of the [-]th Army. They rushed towards the noble army amid Ewinie's shouting, with hatred in their eyes. They held the shovels and other farm tools given to them by the noble army, as well as the weapons and armor they had just pulled out. Yu Fifteenth Army launched a charge.

"The infantry of the noble army collided with the peasants, and then collided with the infantry of the [-]th Army. The bloody infantry melee immediately began. The cannons drove back the attack of the cavalry and quickly moved towards the infantry in the middle. For support, for a while, this infantry mixed with peasants was in a stalemate with the noble army.

"Order the infantry array in front to resist, send the third regiment and the second battalion of the fourth regiment to fill up, and encircle from the right side." General Linirea ordered.

One after another, the noble infantry moved forward with the roar of the magic cannon, and there were heavy casualties on both sides immediately. It is extremely difficult to respond to the enemy and take care of the peasants in the middle of each square.

"Order the second regiment to stand up! Don't retreat!" General Linirea shouted at the orderly beside him.

"General Linerea!"

Several representatives of the nobles came on horseback with angry expressions on their faces. Obviously, they were very dissatisfied with the current situation.

"I want my second regiment to retreat immediately!"

"My third regiment must also retreat!"

Several noble representatives chirped.

"Sirs! As long as you persist for a while, their army will not be able to withstand it!" General Linilea roared angrily.

"I want the military band to play music, retreat." Several noble representatives ignored General Linilea's roar and ordered to retreat.

"You are disobeying the military order! I am the general!" General Linirea shouted angrily.

"Linirea! Earl Simac said that if you make a command error on the battlefield, we can withdraw troops according to our own decision!" Several representatives snapped at General Linirea.

"Count... really said that?" General Linirea's face was ashen, as if he had received a huge mental shock, the telescope in his hand fell to the ground, and the representatives of the nobles trampled away.

The second and third regiments immediately began to retreat in an orderly manner after hearing the military music, which gave the soldiers of the [-]th Army a chance to breathe.

"Let the folks go first, and the whole army retreat!"

The sound of military music here was also accompanied by flags and commands, and the speed of the army was slowed to the top, so that there were still more than 500 peasants left in the mass to retreat first. The peasants supported each other and ran back, as if The battle is about to end, only the magic and cannons of both sides are still ringing from time to time.

An infantry regiment suddenly pushed out from the noble army. It was the only legion that was willing to continue to attack, and it was also the most elite of the noble coalition army. Those transferred to Linirea, no wonder, at this time they are the only ones who are willing to attack according to the order of General Linirea.

This infantry regiment quickly rushed forward, caught up with the [-]th Army and fought again, but at this time they had entered the full range of the magic cannons, and more than a dozen magic cannons blasted at the infantry regiment with all their strength. Go, pressing this infantry regiment could not continue to pursue, seeing that no other infantry regiment was willing to step up, General Linirea could only helplessly issue a retreat order, and watched the [-]th Army retreat back to the gate.

General Linerea seemed to feel a huge puff of breath in his chest. When he watched the last soldier of the [-]th Army retreat into the city and the city gate slowly closed, he seemed to have encountered the most serious crisis in the decades since he joined the army. The blow, the heat surged up, his eyes were black, he opened his mouth wide and spit out a stream of blood, fell off the horse heavily, and passed out on the ground.

It was evening again, and the soldiers of the [-]th Army rested tiredly after the pass. The nearby villages learned the news that the folks outside the pass were rescued, and they spontaneously came to support and help with food and clothes. This battle was very dangerous, but everyone The aristocratic army retreated a little later, the army formation would be unable to withstand being washed away, and the Omen Pass would be completely lost. This field battle has rescued a total of about [-] villagers, but all the sacrifices are amazing. of.

The original 200 infantry was reduced to [-], and nearly [-] archers were also lost in the cavalry attack. It can be said that this made the small defenders even worse.

But the soldiers were not sad because of this. Those who were injured chatted with the farmers in the back with bandages, and those who were not injured excitedly discussed how many imperial devils they had killed. This is indeed a victory. The goal was achieved, and no soldiers were lost more than expected.

Penny walked into the new camp where the folks were settled. Everyone here was busy. There were too many sick, extremely hungry and thirsty folks, as well as those who were extremely mentally exhausted. There are not many military doctors and doctors to treat them, but the spirits of the villagers are generally not bad. Many people regain their spirits after sleeping in the afternoon, clamoring to join the [-]th Army and avenge the villagers. People show their voices and comfort their souls for those who are free again.

Peña is a child who grew up in the south. His experience is similar to that of Migaucci and others. They all fled famine, and then came to Wangcheng, entered the factory and joined the literacy class. Unlike Migaucci, Peña is a The kind of delicate and sensitive person, he is very sensual, and is often shocked by some scenes. After literacy, he is also keen to read the literary works of Yong Dalim, and he is often ridiculed by Mikochi and the others as a poet.

The most memorable thing in today's battle was the girl who led the peasants to charge. She was so brave and heroic. Pene wanted to see this heroic girl again and chat with her.

He saw Ewinie nervously bandaging the wounded one after another, helping the doctor treat the patients, the sweat splashing on her face made her more beautiful, Pene was a little embarrassed to greet her, but Evan But Ni saw him, said to the doctor and ran towards Penny.

Pene immediately began to straighten her armor to see where there was still dirt and blood. After a while, Ewinie ran in front of him, and stretched out the rough hand of the peasant girl with a grateful expression.

"Are you an officer of the [-]th Army?" Ewinie asked.

"Yes, I'm Peigne, Egbert Peigne, the deputy commander of the 15st Infantry Regiment of the No.[-] Army." Peigne nodded and reached out to hold the rough but warm hand of the girl. Straight back replied.

"Commander Penny, thank you very much. I happened to be on your left when I was fighting the emperor devil. I was attacked by the emperor devil. If it weren't for the help of the army led by you, I probably wouldn't be able to stand in front of you. It's gone." Ewinie showed a bright smile and shook Penny's hand vigorously.

"It's nothing. It's our duty to protect the people. The military and the civilians are all one family." Penny said a little embarrassed.

The two walked to the side stairs and sat down. Even though the farmers had provided clothes, Yi Wenni's clothes were still thin. She gave the clothes to other villagers first, and finally got only such a coat that could barely keep out the cold. Seeing Ewinie's breathless breath, Pene took off her cloak and gave it to Ewinie.

"Who are you?" Ewinie looked at Peigne's movements in surprise, and then smiled sweetly, making Peigne look away in embarrassment.

"You are so brave." Pene changed the subject.

"I see you taking the lead, it's amazing. You know, there are very few girls who can be as good as you." Penny crossed her hands and said.

"It's nothing." Yi Wen Ni shook her head and replied.

"Mr. Sun Boyang taught that men and women are equal, and women can also hold up half the sky. Mr. Okedo also said that women should be actively encouraged to study and work. There are many women like me." Ewinie said proudly.

"Are you still in charge of the collective?"

"Why not? I've been to Government Town to study, and I know about the workers' struggle in Central City."

"I used to be a worker too, you know that?"

"I know, you people are basically workers from the city. I really envy you. I have been to the royal city."

"Oh, by the way, have you met Mr. Sun Boyang?" Ewinie asked, shaking Penny's arm again.

"Yes, I was picked by Mr. Sun Boyang himself." When Pene heard that Mr. Sun Boyang was mentioned, he immediately sat up straight with proud chest and said.

"What does he look like? Tell me? I heard that Mr. Sun Boyang is a tall man with stern eyes like an eagle. Standing there looks like a dragon. Those imperial devils are afraid of him, even officials are afraid of him." Don't dare to show prestige in front of him!" Ewinie clenched her fists and said excitedly.

"After the war is over and the devils are driven out, I will go to Wangcheng to see Mr. Sun Boyang. I have a lot to say to him. I want to ask him why he loves us women and farmers so much. He is Isn’t he also a farmer? I guess so. I want to see what he looks like, I often hear from my father that the Sun God and Mr. Sun Boyang look exactly the same.”

"Haha, that's probably not the same..." Penny bent over and put her hands on her knees and smiled after listening to Ewinie's description. Mr. Sun Boyang is far from the sun god.

"Penet!" Ferraci shouted from afar.

"General Rebbio wants us to study a defensive plan."

"Oh! I'm coming!"

Peigne got up quickly, and Ewinie also stood up to return the cloak to Peigne. Pene held down Ewinie's hand, and then ran towards the distance.

"See you! I'll come to you when I'm done." Penny waved.

Ewinie's face was red, and it was unknown whether it was the effect of the torches shining next to her or her emotional changes. Although both of them hoped to see each other again as soon as possible, it was a pity that the noble coalition launched an uninterrupted offensive again. Crazy rushing against the gate, dead soldiers were being carried down the city wall every day. Yiweni looked at the towering city wall from behind every day, hoping for the safe return of her sweetheart.

116 Hold on until the last moment

"Evil door off log."

Pene leaned against the city wall, snowflakes were falling, it was already February, he took out his charcoal pencil and wrote in his small notebook.

"Our army has been guarding here for more than two months. We have repelled hundreds of enemy attacks, wounded and killed not many noble troops, but our army has also suffered heavy losses. When we came, there were more than [-] troops. There are only less than [-] bow soldiers left, and only [-] magic cannons left, and the precious magicians and artillerymen of the magic have suffered heavy casualties." Penny continued to write after thinking for a moment.

"I don't know how long I can hold on. The enemy army is like a tide, attacking day and night. Perhaps, I will die here."

"But I don't regret it. I was originally a farmer fleeing from famine. My parents died early on the way to escape from famine. I was the only one left in Wangcheng. Fortunately, I met Mr. Sun Boyang, and I was able to live. I learned to read and understand in the factory. The truth is more true than what officials and nobles say, and more precious than scriptures, as long as a person understands that kind of truth, even if he dies, he will have no regrets."

"Mr. Sun Boyang once told me that a person is mortal, or he is heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than a feather. Until now, I don't understand the truth of this sentence."

Penny looked back into the distance again, the coalition forces of the nobles were gathering to prepare for a new wave of offensive, shouts came from afar, it seemed that the battle was about to start again.

"Leszek is not afraid of death. In order to liberate the workers and peasants of Quanyong Dalim, we are willing to fight to the last moment of our lives. Many veterans who came from the royal city have died, but even if the casualties exceed half, we are still not afraid. And shrink back, just continue to stick to it, and you will definitely be able to wait for a turnaround."

"My dear Ewinie, even though I can't even meet you again because of the tension of the war, I know you are waiting for me. I heard that you received an order last month to bring the militia back to organize troops outside the customs Destroying the supply line of the emperor devil, I don't know how the weather outside the pass is, how are you doing now?"

"The enemy is about to attack again. I don't know how many times I can write in the diary. Even so, I am not frightened by all this. If there is anything that is worth a lifetime, with precious What people pursue with their lives is definitely not glory and wealth, let alone being above ten thousand people, only the cause of unlimited liberation, liberating the people of Quanyong Dalim from suffering, this is the most precious pursuit of human beings.”

"At the end of the diary, I should have written Penny who loves you, these five characters, but when I looked at the soldiers, my heart was ignited with infinite fire, and the footsteps of the battle were getting closer So I wrote these words at the end: "

Penny paused and finally wrote.

"Fight for the liberation of Quanyong Dalim!"

Pene put the notebook back under the armor, he stood up and walked towards the command place where the other officers were, ready to fight.

"Penet, how do you feel?" Major General Rebio put down his binoculars and asked with a smile.

"How about what?" Penny was a little confused.

"If you're married, you have to invite us to a wedding banquet." Ferraci said happily.

"What are you thinking about? Iwinie and I are just friends!" Penny retorted, blushing.

"Isn't that right, my friend, Penny, where's your cloak?" Ferraci said cheerfully.

"You kid..."

"Well, stop laughing," General Rebbio said to the officers, putting down his binoculars.

He turned around and glanced at the officers. There were nearly ten senior officers who had come here, but now there are less than six. Many officers died at the front. They sacrificed their youth to defend the gate. As for the precious life, General Rebio still remembers the archer commander named Bridges. The west city wall where he was located was attacked by the noble army five days ago. This heroic commander shot all the arrows. After the arrow bravely led the people to continue to stand firm, strangled three noble soldiers with a bowstring, then wrestled with an officer of the noble army, fell from the city wall together, and fought to the last moment.

The number of such heroes is too many to count. There are also armored infantrymen who throw down the magician and protect the magician against the enemy's magic until they die. I transferred my magic shield to the soldiers beside me, and sacrificed my life. I don’t know how many soldiers of the [-]th Army have sacrificed in the past two months. With unparalleled courage and perseverance like King Kong, they stubbornly defended the shield. For two months, until now, the Omen Pass is still under the control of the [-]th Army, and it has not been breached once.

General Rebio often asked himself, is there any legion in the Kingdom that can be better and stronger than the soldiers of the [-]th Army? The answer is no. It is not uncommon for an army to be so cohesive and to display such combat effectiveness. It is not uncommon in history to win more battles with less, but like the [-]th Army, the enemy is five times as large as ours, but it can still hold the checkpoint for more than two months. Really unheard, unseen.

"Yes, I have never heard of it, I have never seen it." General Linirea took off the binoculars, his pale face was full of respect for this tenacious army.

He woke up after only a few days of recuperation. Count Simac's order came just two days ago, ordering all troops to attack the city with all their strength, and they must not slack off. Thanks to Count Simac's order, General Linirea was able to return to normal He commanded the army to continuously launch offensives, almost continuously attacking the Omen Pass, causing heavy casualties to the [-]th Army.

But even so, the Omen Pass is still firmly controlled by the [-]th Army. General Linirea looked at the logistics records during this period. The number of soldiers killed in the past two months is astonishing. Three thousand soldiers were killed or injured, and the archers inevitably suffered casualties. The heavy crossbows, ladders, catapults and other siege equipment in the siege troops were consumed at a high speed. On average, one siege equipment was destroyed every day. Destroyed, the battle has reached this point, no matter how much confrontation and hostility there is, the nobles and officers have to admire the tenacious will of the [-]th Army.

The two-month battle made the nobles miserable. Whether it was the casualties of the soldiers under their command or the pain caused by the severe cold, they felt helpless about this siege battle. Omen Pass is not a city, it is a road built against a mountain. The vast area behind this gate is still under the control of the Central South government, and supplies are still being brought in from the Central South government area. It can be said that there is no shortage of soldiers at the Omen Pass, and they have everything.

But the aristocratic army is different. They are the attacking side. They were forced to lengthen the supply line because the Zhongnan government completely withdrew to the pass, and because of the heavy snow this year, it was extremely difficult to deliver supplies. Harassment, for the noble army, life is getting worse day by day.

A siege battle has not been captured for two months, and one-third of the soldiers have been lost but no progress has been made. According to the theory, there is no need to continue fighting this battle, but there is a saying that sunk costs .General Linerea saw that the number of soldiers in the [-]th Army was obviously decreasing day by day, and he probably wouldn't last long, so he sent one request after another to Earl Simac, hoping to persist for another month, and the enemy would be defeated when the weather warmed up. Earl Simac didn't know what was going on, but he agreed to this request, and he also sent a lot of supplies and some elite troops to support General Linirea's fight.

General Linirea was naturally sighing, Earl Simac was so kind to him, and the idea of ​​retreat that had just sprouted was dispelled with the support of Earl Simac, and instead launched round after round of more violent attacks , intending to completely capture the Omen Pass.

......

Pene swung his sword fiercely and cut down a light infantry who rushed forward. I don't know how many times he swung his sword like this. They didn't know how many waves of enemy attacks they repelled today. Even a commander like him must kill the enemy and defend the city on the front line. The noble army exploded with great strength after obeying the order. Although these noble troops were very reluctant to sacrifice their own troops, due to the strong prestige of Count Simac, Even if they don't want to attack, they have to attack, so they are forced to exert stronger fighting power than before, at least they will not retreat without authorization.

In a daze for a moment, the enemy's light infantry rushed forward with a knife, and Pene didn't have time to think about it, so he set up a knife to defend. Just as he was about to fight back, another armored infantry jumped out from the left side and attacked Penne with a warhammer.

A tall figure rushed towards him quickly, he knocked away the light infantry wielding a sword, and swung the battle ax in his hand to strike at the armored infantry. The figure immediately kicked the armored infantryman down before he could stand still, and helped Pene up again.

"Brother, are you from that unit?!" Penny yelled.

"I'm from the second regiment. My name is Warren, sir!" Warren kicked the light infantry again and struck him with an axe, finishing off the lone enemy.

"Do you still have comrades in arms? Where's your superior!?" Penny continued to ask.

"It's all here, Captain, the officer wants to see you!" Warren shouted behind him.

Behind him is a military formation composed of four or five people. These tall, short, fat and thin fighters have closely controlled the area. There are corpses of comrades or enemies everywhere under their feet. Among those people, they look old. The older warrior turned his head to look at the two of them, and he led the team to salute and stand still.

"The ninth squad leader of the second regiment, third battalion and first company, Marvin Walker." said the captain.

"Captain Walker," Penny returned the salute.

"I want you to take your team and me to the Seventh Artillery position on the city wall immediately, and regain control there." Penny leaned against the wall and gasped.

"It's not an easy job to take back the artillery position, sir." Captain Walker smiled at the other team members, put on his helmet again and said.

"I'm sorry, but I can no longer see an organized armored infantry squad nearby, and my guards also died in the battle just now." Pene said helplessly.

"Come on, boys." Walker clenched his long sword and said to Warren and other team soldiers.

"Let's go with our commander-in-chief. Whoever climbs up the artillery position first, I will introduce my daughter to him first!"

117 The flag is still flying

Recapturing the artillery position was more difficult than imagined. After the enemy took control of the city wall area, they quickly sent follow-up troops to garrison. The seventh artillery position was in an enemy building on the city wall. Now, a large number of enemy troops are entrenched here. They are planning to use this as a breakthrough to further tear apart the defense line of the city wall.

Not only Walker and his team are attacking here, but the artillerymen and other infantry who were forced to evacuate are also doing their best to recapture this watchtower. The two sides are engaged in a brutal battle here. In the next step, the cannons from other artillery positions will be mobilized for a fierce attack, and the enemy building will be directly blasted down. The tower must be guarded, and the opponent must not be able to find a breakthrough.

One after another thunder light spread around the enemy building. The magicians of the noble army were supporting the gap with all their strength. The surrounding soldiers were unable to move forward under the pressure of the light. Opportunity to attack.

"How's the situation!?" Penny bent over and stepped forward and asked the other infantry captains on the side.

"I can't fight, the infantry will be electrocuted to death when they go up, or shot and stabbed to death by the imperial devils inside!" The infantry captain also yelled.

"Damn, where's Molotov!? Give me Molotov!"

Pene took Molotov from the infantry on the side. He bowed and lit a match with Walker to ignite Molotov, then jumped up and made a throwing motion.

Immediately, sharp bows and arrows were fired at Pene from the enemy building, and the soldiers immediately set up shields to cover Pene. Fortunately, Pene was wearing heavy armor and had already put down his visor, so he was not caught by the first wave of bows and arrows. After being shot, Molotov drew a beautiful arc in the air, and fell into the enemy building lightly.

The raging fire immediately ignited, and the soldiers screamed in pain from inside the enemy building. Some soldiers climbed out from the second floor of the enemy building and fell on the city wall with fire on their bodies, and were immediately stabbed to death by the soldiers throwing weapons Even so, the soldiers were still unable to break into the enemy building, and the enemies on the first floor were still resisting tenaciously inside the enemy building. Coupled with the bombardment of magic, the soldiers had nothing to do but stare at the enemy building.

"Is there any dwarf fire left!?" Penny asked again.

"It's long gone!" someone replied.
