We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Manteuffel greeted the two of them and looked at Salus beside him.

"Ms. Salus, I won't talk nonsense. My troops need to deploy as soon as possible and deploy their positions before dawn. What is the current arrangement of the Victoria army?"

"The task force launched an attack on the Victoria army from the east city area tonight. The attention of the Victoria people there is now focused on the city area."

Manteuffel looked at the map carefully, then reached out to summon the members of Griffin's force, carefully confirmed the map and marked a few points before asking.

"My troops have just arrived here and don't know the terrain well. Can you lead my troops to these positions?"

"no problem."

After receiving a positive answer, he shouted: "Walken!"

"To!"

An officer came running over.

"How long will it take to complete the uninstallation?"

"It will take a while to finish. There is no light, and the unloading of the infantry artillery is very slow."

Walken had a look of embarrassment on his face. The transport ship had a pilot light, but he didn't dare to turn it on now, for fear of attracting the Victorians' ideas, and everything would be exposed in advance.

"Ignore the artillery for now! Take your people to these positions to set up positions!"

Manteuffel pointed out several guides to him, "There are so many of us naked here. As soon as the sun comes out, one round of artillery fire from the Victorians will kill us!"

The three transport ships not only contained people, but also a large number of artillery shells!At this moment, the soldiers were rushing to finish unloading, so these things were piled on the ground!

"Yes!"

Walken ordered his messenger to call for the troops to assemble, "All in one group! Gather together!"

The messenger immediately took a flashlight and shined it into the crowd of soldiers. At this time, the whole regiment was in a mess, and the effect of shouting was average, but the directional light of the flashlight was safe and effective.

After a while, groups of soldiers suddenly ran out.

"Take the company as a unit, one company corresponds to one guide, go ahead and set up the position!"

The messenger led the guide to find the corresponding company commander one by one.The Sakaz, who had been at Rem Billiton for more than five years, couldn't help but feel a little strange in their eyes when looking at the troops in front of them.

They also know the weapon, Kazdel's individual crossbow.

However, although these soldiers wore uniform uniforms, their only armor was helmets and breastplates. Elbow and knee pads were completely negligible in their eyes.In addition to the military backpack, there was also a cylindrical metal can placed across the waist. It was quite large and I didn’t know what it contained. There was also a short-handled shovel tied to the side.

After leading the group to the designated location, the guides became even more confused.

The soldiers took off their marching backpacks, picked up shovels and dug hard into the ground. Everyone bent over and worked enthusiastically.

"What are you doing?"

"Dig trenches."

The soldier said without raising his head.

.........

At dawn, the muster whistle sounded in Victoria's military camp.

The infantry did not move, knowing that this was an artillery assembly post.After a night's rest, they were about to prepare for today's artillery fire.

He turned over and continued to sleep. It would take some time for the artillerymen's precious things to be served.

【PI——】

Whistle blows of different rhythms were blown immediately, shocking the infantrymen to their feet.

"What happened today?! You let us get up before the artillery fire was ready?"

The military camp immediately exploded. Victoria's aristocratic officers were also full of questions at this moment. Why did they suddenly gather at this time today?

They hurried to the combat command post. A photo had been placed on each person's position. It was a bit unclear but they could tell that they were setting up a tent.

Said an officer from the Victoria Drone Reconnaissance Unit on the side.

"At 5:55 today, one of our drones lost contact on the east side of the city of Eureka. The operator judged that it was shot down, and the last picture sent back by the drone showed, On the east side of the city of Eureka, a Sakaz force appeared and they are building a camp."

Chapter 219 Breaking the camp and falling down with just one kick

"Has Kazdael officially intervened in the Rem Billiton War?"

The officers present all looked at their lord, the Duke of Stafford.

"No, no diplomatic letter from the parliament has been sent, and there have been no diplomatic activities in the country. It should be the dispatch of voluntary troops."

A trace of melancholy appeared on Duke Stafford's face. He came to Rem Billiton to pick bargains and pick the Duke of Wellington's peaches!Not long after the comfortable days, Kazdaele sent troops over.

'Demons, they are not Carters...'

After pondering for a while, Duke Stafford ordered: "Order the entire army to continue attacking the city of Eureka, and convey Sakaz's intelligence to the army directly under the parliament, as well as the news of our continued attack today."

After the Duke of Wellington's troops left, Victoria had a dispute over who could go to Rembito to take credit for picking peaches.The Parliament and the major nobles all wanted to have a say in Rem Billiton's resources. The two parties argued and finally came up with a compromise plan.

That is, the duke and the parliament each send a force to fight and fight in half.The Parliament selected one of the petition letters from many generals, and after many exchanges with the Duke, it was the Duke of Stafford who finally got the power to send troops.

The two troops on the front line have reached an agreement with each other: today I will attack and you will support, and tomorrow we will exchange and provide mutual cover and support.

Yesterday it was the Duke of Stafford who attacked, and today it should be the parliamentary troops who attack the city.But it's different now. Sakaz troops have appeared.

Although there will be casualties when fighting in urban areas, compared to Sakaz, he is still a good piece of cartilage.

The correspondent recorded the words of Duke Stafford and was about to send the message, but the Duke's adjutant ran in at this time.

"Lord Stafford, the parliamentary troops began to attack the city long before us! They did not wait for artillery preparations and directly ordered the infantry to attack."

Duke Stafford's expression turned ugly. He looked at the map and said, "They are really a bunch of guys with hound noses. What should we do?"

Sakaz's camp is set up on the east side of Eureka city. The attack by the parliamentary troops at this moment is tantamount to exposing the flank to Sakaz.

But they did it on purpose. These lackeys of the parliament were waiting for him to cover their flanks and block Sakaz's knife.

"Your Majesty Duke, how about we adjust our deployment and give them some cover? Sakaz has just arrived here and hasn't even built a camp yet, so he may not launch an attack immediately. It may not be possible to delay it until tomorrow, but that is the parliamentary force. I have a headache."

After listening to his men's suggestions, Duke Stafford was silent for a while, "No, let Sakaz rest for a day. Although it will disgust the people in the parliament, it will make things difficult for us the day after tomorrow."

"What does the Duke mean?"

"Fight. Today we took advantage of Sakaz's unpreparedness and hit them hard and demolished the camp. Judging from the size of Sakaz's camp, it should be able to accommodate thousands of people. We will punch them today. It is very likely that it will hit cotton. And after suffering a loss today, Sakaz will definitely launch a retaliatory attack, and then we will find a way to get people from the parliament to block it for us."

Stafford said: "Assemble the troops and prepare to fight Sakaz! Inform the parliamentary troops that our artillery will not be able to support them today and let them go on their own."

.........

The headquarters of the First Experimental Division was in chaos at the moment.

"Have the artillery positions been set up? ... If not, hurry up! ... Just use explosives to blow up the hard soil! We have been exposed! The Victoria army may launch an attack at any time!"

"Where is the mortar unit?! Has it entered the position? Has the school firing been completed?"

"All infantry must enter the trenches and are not allowed to be exposed on the surface!"

According to the original inspection of the Victoria army, they were noticed when the artillery regiment began to support the battle to defend the city.But what is surprising is that they had just finished digging the trench when a drone suddenly appeared in the hazy sky!

The warlocks shot it down immediately. The weapon masters of the division's reconnaissance battalion also established a warning airspace and began to conduct reconnaissance in the direction of the Victoria army. However, they were hit and blocked by the Victoria drone.

"We must request reinforcements from Kazdaele. Victoria's use of drones has exceeded our expectations. It is very likely that we will need to fight in the air."

Manteuffel gave orders to the communications personnel. This feeling reminded him of the scene during the battle with Letania.If there is really going to be an aerial battle, the drones in the reconnaissance battalion are simply not enough.

"Operation Griffin reported that muster whistles were blown at Camp Victoria and scouts were dispatched."

The intelligence staff brought the scout's report, which made Manteuffel feel nervous.

It would have been fine if the Victorians had just seen the camp, but it would have been a bit more troublesome if they had seen something further out.

"Let the engineering troops building the camp speed up their work! It must be completed before the Victorians attack!"

At the same time that the Victoria scouts were dispatched, their combat infantry also lined up and slowly walked out of the camp.Compared with the past, the morale of the gangsters today was much lower, and they were all talking quietly.

"Those demons...are they all the same as those in the city at night?"

"I have a few acquaintances I met during recruit training. They died in Eureka City the night before yesterday. When they were found, their whole bodies turned gray and there was no trace of blood in their bodies. Will we also... "

Victoria's junior sergeants frowned at the rustling sounds around them.

During this period, whenever night comes, the inhuman things of the demons will come out to help Carters fight, and they will also kill Victoria's soldiers in various weird ways.The old troops were doing fine, but this information brought a degree of panic to the ballista troops.

"It's daytime now, you can see them clearly, and there is open desert outside the city. You can easily kill them with ballistae."

The officers spoke calmly, and their indifferent looks seemed to have infected the soldiers, and their emotions gradually stabilized.

Finally, after a period of marching, Sakaz's camp finally came into view.When the officers used binoculars, they were even able to see the faces of the Sakaz soldiers stationed there.

"Are you going to attack? These Sakaz seem to be perfecting the camp."

"The artillery hasn't come up yet."

"This camp only has a simple wooden fence, and each of us stepped across it with a kick."

"And I didn't see any weird Sakaz."

The officers discussed it and finally decided to start a fight.

Victoria's flutes and snare drums played in the desert, and Victoria filmers wearing bright red uniforms formed a neat phalanx.

The sergeant holding a spear and wearing heavy armor nodded with satisfaction, then walked to the queue and took a deep breath.

"go ahead!"

Chapter 220 Sarkazi grows in the ground

"The Victorians are coming!"

The scout on a bicycle shouted loudly, and he quickly crossed the camp and rushed straight back.

Upon hearing the news, the Sakaz soldiers in the camp put down what they were doing, picked up their weapons and moved to their positions.

Not long after, the figure of the Philin clan appeared on the horizon.After fighting against the Victoria army for a long time, the Sakaz discovered that the Philin soldiers were the same as before, wearing eye-catching red uniforms, holding their heads high, and marching in a neat phalanx.

The only thing that was different from before was that the queues became neat and loose, and military musicians were added between the phalanxes.

According to the common sense of the Sakaz troops, except for the instructions during collective actions that should be widely disseminated and eye-catching, they should avoid making any noise during the rest of the combat time to prevent their own combat intentions from being exposed.

The Leitanians played music in the military formation to unleash their Originium skills. What was Victoria doing?

I don’t understand, but the Victorians are not fools. There must be necessary factors for doing this.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to observe the enemy's combat posture at a short distance, Sakaz's officer found two communications soldiers.While he carefully described the style and shape of Victoria's army, the communicators on the side used a communicator to transmit messages to the rear.In addition, there is a paper record, which must be sent to the rear for analysis, and maybe the enemy's loopholes can be found.

"Check weapons and equipment!"

The officer signaled the signal troops to set off. The Victorians had already entered within 300 meters, and a battle could occur at any time.

Amid the drumbeats of military musicians, Victoria's soldiers marched neatly. At this moment, they had initially felt the difference between Sakaz and Carters.

Facing the enemy, Sakaz was not as restless as Carters, and there were even people who ran out of the queue.They huddled quietly behind the bunker, with only a little bit of their bodies exposed, making them extremely difficult to spot.

In the past, they lined up and fired when they faced Carters at 250 meters, but today they faced Sakaz and had advanced to 200 meters, but the officers still did not issue a firing order.

Because the impact surface is too small, it is a waste of ammunition.Their military supplies have to be shipped from Victoria!

"Reload!"

After walking for a while, Victoria's soldiers finally waited for the officer's order. They skillfully loaded cylindrical ammunition into the ballista's magazine and raised the ballista to take aim.

"shooting!"

【Boom—】

There was a series of loud noises that were almost stuck together, and a thin wall of smoke appeared in front of Victoria's phalanx.

Debris flew off Sakaz's bunker under the high-speed impact of the projectiles, but no casualties were caused. The shooters held their individual crossbows steadily, waiting for the Victorians to enter their firing range.

"go ahead!"

Seeing that it had no effect, Victoria's officers had no choice but to further shorten the distance to obtain better accuracy.

At this time, the long-range crossbow among the Sakaz soldiers fired an arrow. One of the Victoria soldiers was stabbed through the throat accurately. The other soldier was more lucky. The arrow hit his stomach and was cut by Victoria. Military uniforms made of fiber blocked the arrows.

When Victoria's officer shouted the command to reload again, the distance between the two sides had become 140 meters.This is the effective range of the Victoria Ballista, as well as the Kazdare Crossbow.

The two sides began to fight each other with all their strength. One side had a bunker and the other side had advanced protection against cutting fibers. The crossbow fired many projectiles in an instant, but Sakaz's semi-automatic individual crossbow fired arrows with almost no interruption.

The battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while. Some people on Sakaz's side were hit by projectiles and lay on the ground unable to help crying for help. Many Victoria soldiers were injured by arrows and lay on the ground shouting.But they had no shelter, so medical staff couldn't get to them.
