Tales of the Reincarnated Lord

The 469th chapter falls

"His Royal Highness, we have to stop the attack, so the casualties are too great." Malek said.

The fire in Beicheng District lasted for three days and two nights, and finally extinguished after a heavy snowfall. Armed forces of the Norton family, which were waiting, began to attack Dongcheng District and Xicheng District. However, the Vicia Chamber of Commerce armed forces did not give up resistance. They set up barricades on the streets, recruited miners to form a reserve force, and competed house-to-house with the attacking Norton family armed forces. They must fight every inch of the land and resolutely carry out the street fighting to the end.

The city of Federica is very large. It was originally a major town in the southwest of the Christen Empire. It used to have more than 300,000 residents and has undergone many expansions and rectifications. After the Wisiah Chamber of Commerce took over, a large-scale reconstruction project was carried out on the Royal City of Federica, which enhanced the defensiveness and durability of most of the buildings in the city. And this move has received great results in resisting the offensive of the Norton family armed forces.

The Xicheng District is the location of the barracks of the Vicia Chamber of Commerce Army Corps, but this large area is not just a barracks, but also includes family houses of legionaries and various entertainment venues for legionaries. There are eleven taverns, and Prostitutes, laundry rooms, public baths and pharmacy treatment centers, etc. The considerate care and kindness of the Vasia Chamber of Commerce's soldiers is also an important reason for the Vasia Chamber of Commerce Corps to insist on resistance. Without the orders of the upper level of the Chamber of Commerce, they would not be able to surrender their weapons.

Dongcheng District is the residential neighborhood of miners and technicians belonging to the Wisia Chamber of Commerce. As the largest weapon supplier in the business alliance, the Wisia Chamber of Commerce has a large mining, forging and refining department. The Wisiah Chamber of Commerce is most praised for treating workers in these sectors with great kindness and justice. Even for mining, which is the lowest level of labor that can be done with strength, the Chamber of Commerce likes to adopt the latest mining technology and equipment to assist miners. Conduct mining operations to improve production efficiency.

In a sense, the Visayas Chamber of Commerce is like the kind of Japanese companies in the previous life in the eyes of Lorist. Miners have also become hereditary occupations, and children can enter the Chamber of Commerce by virtue of their parents and relatives to get a job. Therefore, the loyalty of these workers to the Wissia Chamber of Commerce is also very high. When the Chamber of Commerce called on everyone to take up arms to fight against the invading Norton family armed forces, it was echoed. Just as Lorist feared before sending troops, tens of thousands of miners and technicians have become the reserve military force of the Vysia Chamber of Commerce.

The Xicheng District was turned into small fortresses by the Chamber of Commerce. The miners in the Dongcheng District piled up debris on the streets to build barricades and engaged in fierce street fighting with soldiers armed by the Norton family who launched the attack. Under such circumstances, even if the soldiers assisting the offensive with a long-range attack of steel crossbows, it is difficult for them to move, and casualties have increased.

The role of the steel crossbow of the chariot in the streets and alleys with complex and tortuous terrain is not very suitable. Many shooting areas are covered by buildings, and they are often attacked by violent enemies and falling objects from the heights of houses. Malek, commanding at the front, had to order the soldiers to stop the attack on the eastern and western cities.

"His Royal Highness, we can't continue this offensive. In the past two days, the Flying Tiger Corps casualties more than 4,600 soldiers, and the Rock Corps casualties more than 2,000 people. And our offensive goals were not achieved. Occupied a block and a half, and this block and a half were almost in ruins when it fell into our hands. Moreover, at midnight last night, the Weasian Chamber of Commerce armed forces even attacked the camp of our soldiers behind us through the sewer pipe. From the topographical perspective, We can't guard against these enemies who are familiar with the geographical environment of urban streets..."

Malek is telling the truth. There are many mercenary-born soldiers in the Weysia Chamber of Commerce. They are very good at small-scale infiltration attacks and ambush tactics. They can fight like fish in the city blocks with complex terrain. This is better than the Norton family armed forces. Nothing, especially the Norton family armed forces have never encountered such a situation where all the people are all soldiers and all the people are enemies. In the past, after breaking through the city gates to clear out the enemy’s defense forces, the entire town fell under the control of the family. All the residents were waiting obediently for the departure. As they are now, even women and old people would wait for opportunities to carry out sneak attacks...

Lorist frowned while looking at the simple layout plan of the Royal City of Federica on the table. The map was pieced together from the captives’ confessions and the scouts of the family’s armed scouts. The Nancheng District was blurred. In Qing Dynasty, the inner city is also roughly in shape, and the eastern and western areas have long changed due to street fighting. If the Federica Royal City is divided into three parts, the Norton Family Armed Forces currently only occupies the narrowest part of the northern city, most of which are still the war zone.

In terms of military strength, the Norton family armed forces currently only enter the city with three regiments of the Flying Tiger Corps, one regiment of the Rock Corps, and the nearly two thousand guards around Lorester, which add up to about 60,000. But minus the casualties of these two days, plus the personnel responsible for maintaining the order of the refugee camps rescued from Beicheng District outside the city, and the personnel responsible for supporting logistics, there are fewer than 40,000 combatants who can actually launch an offensive in the city.

Although the Heavy Armored Spear Corps of the Vysia Chamber of Commerce Corps suffered heavy losses, there are still more than 30,000 people. Together with the city defensive force and the newly formed miner garrison in Dongcheng District, it counts as no less than 80,000. In particular, the Wisiah Chamber of Commerce is a weapon supply and manufacturer association. They have no shortage of equipment. They can equip those strong miners into elite defensive forces with a little training.

In terms of high-end combat power, the Wissia Chamber of Commerce has only one second-level great swordsman left, and how many golden-level fighting spirit masters are left is unknown. But judging from the number of armed forces in the entire Chamber of Commerce, they are almost twice the number of armed Norton family soldiers entering the city. This is also their confidence to resist and pledge not to surrender. Just like Malek said, if you continue to attack, I am afraid that both sides will suffer. The Norton family cannot afford such a large casualty price.

The Wissia Chamber of Commerce has now made it clear that it will be armed with the Norton family for life and consumption, not only in the city, but also on the walls. It has mobilized a large number of longbowmen on the east and west walls to rely on the towers to guard against death and avoid being by the Norton family. Armed forces launched an offensive along the northern city wall, seizing the entire outer wall of Federica and trapping them inside the city.

Lorester originally wanted to take down the eastern and western areas first, occupy the city walls and capture the Nancheng District, and then besiege the inner city to force the Vysia Chamber of Commerce to surrender. Because after occupying the northern city, he discovered that the Vicia Chamber of Commerce had built the inner city like a city in the city. The wall of Guangna was one meter higher than the outer wall, reaching a height of ten meters. Moreover, a special giant crossbow was also arranged on the wall, with a range of three hundred meters. Even the street facing the inner city gate became a restricted area for the Norton family. Fortunately, the winding of this kind of giant crossbow is super slow, and there are not many in number. Only a dozen crossbow arrows that are longer than a spear are fired toward the Beicheng District and the firing behavior is stopped.

"His Royal Highness, since they are swearing to the death against us, then we will fulfill them. Learn from them and burn the two cities." It was Tiger Rose who said this, and he was also angered by the resistance of the Visayas Chamber of Commerce. Anyway, the blocks after the capture are in ruins, so simply burn these blocks first, and then occupy them after turning into ruins, which can also avoid the casualties of family armed forces.

Lorister shook his head. Tiger Rose’s idea was not desirable. The Wissia Chamber of Commerce burned the North City mainly because it was a slum area. The houses were mostly wooden and mud-rock huts. The fire spread everywhere with the help of wind. Most of the houses in the eastern and western cities are made of stones and bricks. Not to mention whether a large amount of kerosene can be obtained, even if it is burned, it can be quickly extinguished. It is just a waste of effort.

"His Royal Highness, the three corps of the Rock Corps are deployed outside the three gates of the east, west, and south. Since the stalemate in the city is now at a stalemate, can we transfer these three corps back and let them take charge of the fortification? In the end, they are better at such short-handed street fighting and urban combat tasks than the Flying Tigers." Josk made another suggestion.

"No." Lorister replied: "The three gates of Federica Royal City are still under the control of the Vysia Chamber of Commerce. This time we are thinking of killing the Vysia Chamber of Commerce and uprooting it. So those three The mission of this corps is still to stand by, waiting for the fish that slipped through the net when the city fell. We don’t know if the senior leaders of the Vysian Chamber of Commerce will break through and escape at the last moment. We don’t know which direction they will choose at that time, so Those three corps cannot move.

The main key to the current stalemate lies in the senior officials of the Wisia Chamber of Commerce. We already know from the captives that this time, except for a vice president and a great swordsman who stayed at the Chamber of Commerce in Morente City to handle chores, the leaders and senior leaders of the Chamber of Commerce gathered in Federiga. Wangcheng celebrated the New Year's Day, but it was carried by us. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Visayas Chamber of Commerce is dying and refuses to surrender. As long as we break through the inner city and capture the leaders and high-level leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, they will naturally let the armed defense forces of the east and west cities lay down their weapons and surrender. "

"But your Highness, it is not a wise move for us to attack the inner city. Before we took the two cities, we rushed to attack the inner city. We would only be attacked on three sides by the Vicia Chamber of Commerce. Moreover, the inner city wall A lot of giant crossbows are also arranged. These giant crossbows are on the city wall and have a greater range advantage than our tank steel crossbows. They can easily cause a very large threat of casualties to our family soldiers..." Malek said.

"No, we will not attack the inner city and the east and west areas for the time being. Order our family armed forces to shrink their troops to defend the occupied blocks, and then in five or six days, Bodfinger will lead the Perak sling battalion to arrive here. By then we will be there. Directly smash the inner city wall and make a surprise attack. As long as the president and high-level personnel of the Vysia Chamber of Commerce are captured, the war is over." Lorist made the final decision.

In the next two days, the Norton family armed forces stopped launching an offensive, but began to consolidate their defenses and put on a posture of long-term combat. The Wissia Chamber of Commerce found it strange and sent an emissary to visit Lorist.

The messenger is a senior deacon of the Vysia Chamber of Commerce, who can speak good words, has excellent demeanor and demeanor. He told Lorist that the Vysia Chamber of Commerce has been united and determined to resist to the end. The current battlefield situation also shows that the Norton family's armed forces simply can't swallow Federicai King City. Even if the Norton family devotes all their forces to a massive offensive, even if the Vasia Chamber of Commerce fails, the Norton family armed forces will also pay an extremely high price.

It’s already the February thaw period, and the rainy season will come in another thirty days. The two sides cannot fight during the rainy season. The Norton family’s armed and laboring divisions expedition, and the attempt to sneak attack and capture the city of Federica has been shattered. There is no plan to occupy the city. The materials are harvested, and the north is far away. I am afraid that the logistics and supplies will not be able to meet, and now I can only sit in the sky. The Wissia Chamber of Commerce hopes that the Norton family can understand that their failure is inevitable, and it is better to suspend their troops and quit the city.

The messenger said that after the rainy season, the Visayas Chamber of Commerce will be able to get in touch with the business alliance, and the army of the business alliance will continue to grow. At that time, the Norton family just wanted to withdraw their troops. The Wissia Chamber of Commerce, which has offended one of the seven giants of the business alliance, even if the Norton family's territory is far in the north, will certainly not escape the business alliance's revenge. However, the Vysia Chamber of Commerce understands the difficulty of the Norton family king's order. As long as the Norton family withdraws their troops, the Vysia Chamber of Commerce can guarantee that the Norton family will not be held responsible for the attack on Federica.

Lorist laughed and asked the messenger if he meant to laugh? The war is not over. It is not clear who will fall into the hands of Federica Royal City. What confidence does the Wissia Chamber of Commerce have to guarantee that they will win the final victory?

Lorist in turn persuaded the messenger to let the Vasia Chamber of Commerce surrender as soon as possible, so as not to lose his fortune. As for the Wissia Chamber of Commerce as one of the seven giants of the business alliance, it has no effect on him. In the eyes of the Norton family armed forces, as long as they are enemies, they are the goal of elimination. Norton family armed forces never fear how powerful and powerful the enemy is. How strong is it.

Seeing that the threat failed, the messenger resorted to lure. As long as the Norton family is willing to withdraw its troops and return the occupied northern city to the Chamber of Commerce, the Wissia Chamber of Commerce is willing to spend two million Kingford as the ransom for the Norton family’s military dispatch, and is also willing to provide a batch for the Norton family to use after the armed withdrawal. Of food and grass materials.

Lorist laughed again. He told the messenger that as long as the Norton family armed forces captured the city of Federica, it would be his spoils, whether it was two million Golden Ford or more. He advised the Vicia Chamber of Commerce to lay down its weapons and surrender. Victory or defeat is just a common occurrence. The Wissia Chamber of Commerce chose the wrong territory this time, occupying the Podoorg Province of the Christian Empire, so it was attacked by the Norton family.

Lorist told the messenger that he hoped that the leaders of the Wissia Chamber of Commerce would learn from this lesson. They needed the Chamber of Commerce territory to be able to fight against the countries in the central and southern parts of the mainland instead of targeting the former empire. If the Wissia Chamber of Commerce decides to surrender, Lorist can guarantee their lives and they can choose another Chamber of Commerce territory to make a comeback.

The messenger was angry. He said that the Vysia Chamber of Commerce was ready to die together. Jars filled with kerosene were placed in all material warehouses and important places in the Royal City. Once they encountered an attack, they would set fire to the whole city if the resistance failed. , I would rather turn the Federica Royal City into ashes than let it fall into the armed hands of the Norton family!

Lorist took the case and vowed in public that if the Wissia Chamber of Commerce really did so, he would not let any senior chamber of commerce go. The Wissia Chamber of Commerce would wait to be removed from the Big Seven of the Business Alliance...

Speaking to such a point, it showed that the two sides had no possibility of getting together, and the envoy of the Wissia Chamber of Commerce left in anguish.

On February 7, Bodfinger led the Perak sling battalion of the Rock Legion to Beicheng District.

On February 9th, the Perak sling battalion launched sling attacks on the inner city, Dongcheng and Xicheng at the same time. The Weysia Chamber of Commerce Armed Corps in the Xicheng District and the Miner’s garrison in the Dongcheng District could not withstand the sling attack from the sky. The casualties were heavy, and the Retreat.

At about 4 pm, Lorist led the guard battalion and attacked the dilapidated city wall in the inner city, in order to resist the Norton family's raid on the inner city~www.readwn.com~The Wissia Chamber of Commerce stayed in the city. The second-level great swordsman in here took the sword and was killed on the spot by Lorist. The senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce and their families opened the Nancheng Gate and fled, and at the same time sent people to set fire to the material warehouses and business district in Nancheng District.

On February 11, the Norton family armed forces extinguished the fire in Nancheng District and rescued one-third of the grain, grass and supplies.

On February 12, the garrison of miners in Dongcheng District put down their weapons and surrendered. On the same day, nearly 10,000 soldiers from the Weysia Chamber of Commerce Armed Corps, which were divided and surrounded by Xicheng District, abandoned their weapons and surrendered, saving their lives. However, there are more than 10,000 soldiers from the Armed Forces of the Chamber of Commerce who stood by the barracks fortress and vowed to their deaths.

On February 13, the fleeing executives of the Vysia Chamber of Commerce and their families fell into the trap of the Legion deployed by the Rock Legion outside the South City Gate and were all captured.

On February 14th, after rejecting the last surrender order issued by Lorist, the Norton family armed forces, with the assistance of the Perak sling battalion, launched the final attack on the barracks fortress in Xicheng District. The Vicia Chamber of Commerce armed forces trapped in the barracks fortress More than 10,000 soldiers and more than 3,000 relatives of the Legion were all beheaded. After receiving the good news, Lorist ordered the decapitation of more than 2,000 captured seniors and their relatives in the Wissia Chamber of Commerce, regardless of women, children, old or weak, and fulfilled his vow.

On February 14th, 1787, the General Calendar of the Asian continent, the Northland Archduke of the Kingdom of Antinac, Lorester, led the Norton family to attack the capital city of the Vixian Chamber of Commerce, the capital of the Chamber of Commerce Federica. His relatives and chamber of commerce armed nearly 30,000 people. He also used these heads to build a tower of human heads on the southern outskirts of the city, named Jingguan.

The Wissia Chamber of Commerce was removed from the Big Seven of the Business Alliance. After the news came out in May, the business alliance was shocked, and the remaining six giants were furious. The whole continent was shocked by the news.
