546 Chapter 546: Night Raid

Knights holding strangely shaped shields and a rifle with a bayonet in one hand kept charging at their trench positions. The gun knights on the periphery began to fight in a cavalry manner, and the single-shot breech-loading rifles in their hands kept ringing.

The gun knights who rushed into the position had been replaced with knight swords, and began to frantically charge the crossbowmen in the trenches, and even many knights had already jumped into the trenches.

The infantry on the other side of the trench quickly joined the battlefield, but how could ordinary soldiers be opponents of the knights, especially in the environment where the siege could not be carried out in the trenches, many knights were simply invincible.

Alonso knew that the trench defense was over, and immediately shouted: "Catapult, use incendiary bombs."

The adjutant next to him said subconsciously: "My lord, there are still our people below."

Alonso yelled frantically: "Then you personally lead someone to take back the position for me."

The adjutant immediately shut up. The ten-party alliance has more mentor-level powerhouses than the Kingdom of Cleveland. The current trench position has basically been confirmed to have fallen. Many knights have hidden in the trenches and shot at the crossbowmen on the city wall, wanting to take back the trenches , the risk is too great.

After a while, the clay pot filled with black oil flew out from behind the city wall with hot flames, and fell directly into the trench.

"Ahh..."

For a moment, the entire trench was filled with mournful wailing, and the gun knights who rushed into the position rushed out of the encirclement of flames under the cover of the magic soldiers not far away, except for a few unlucky ones who were directly hit or splashed by black oil. The flames on their bodies could not be extinguished, and after there was no chance of rescue, 50,000 spear knights rushed into the position. From seizing the position to giving up, they paid no more than 500 casualties.

However, less than 30,000 of the 50,000 Merlot crossbowmen in the trenches of the Kingdom of Cleveland survived, and 10,000 elite infantry were added.

Including the losses during the day, the Kingdom of Cleveland lost almost 50,000 troops in one day of fighting today.

The city gate opened, and the remaining troops fled into the city. Alonso was completely panicked, and asked continuously, "Father, why haven't they come back yet?"

The adjutant was silent because Alonso had asked the question a dozen times.

"Report! The head of the legion has led the Snow Fox Legion to go around the left wing of the Ten-Party Alliance, and ordered the troops in the city to cooperate with the left wing of the Ten-Party Alliance."

A magic soldier wearing the Snow Fox Legion jumped off the flying demon horse and said quickly.

Alonso was overjoyed and quickly dispatched troops.

The ten-party alliance army did not celebrate because of this, but stepped up their guard, but most of the soldiers did not think that the army of the Kingdom of Cleveland, which was defeated today, dared to attack them.

In the middle of the night, the Snow Fox Legion and the Iron Wall Legion joined forces to attack the left camp of the ten-party coalition army. The 30,000 knights' horses were all tied with thick linen, and they did not make too much noise even if they trotted.

The charge was not launched until it was less than 100 meters away from the enemy camp, and the sentinels in the left camp were sniped and killed by the aviation magicians of the Kingdom of Cleveland and replaced by the aviation magicians of the Kingdom of Cleveland.

When the gate of the left-wing camp was knocked down, only the soldiers felt something was wrong, and there was no shout of killing. They had just rushed out of the tent when they saw a group of knights coming to kill with torches.

The knight swung the sword, and the heads of many soldiers fell to the ground, perfectly combining the knight's superb riding skills and martial arts.

The flames soon enveloped the entire left-wing camp, and the knights rushed all the way to the front camp. Fortunately, when the left-wing camp fell, the other camps were already prepared, and the front camp had already set up a defensive position to meet the rush. knights.

"Calm down! When the Knights come within 200 meters of range, all fire. Don't worry about the ammunition, shoot them all in one go." The head of the Rifle Division shouted loudly.

When they heard the roar of cavalry.

"All ready!"

Whoosh whoosh.

Crossbow arrows kept falling from the sky, and the rifle phalanx that was about to shoot was shot on their backs. The fighting spirit armor on the head of the division bounced off the falling crossbow arrows, and roared: "Are the guards in charge of the gate eating shit?"

But what responded to him was more arrows.

When Alonso cooperated with the ambush, he chose to send out a decapitation team composed of mentor-level powerhouses, and even sent out his personal guards, dressed as ordinary soldiers to hide in the team leaving the city.

The decapitation team did not ambush the opponent's commander, but directly dealt with the sentries and patrols at the gate of the village, and killed two swordsman mentors in the process.

That's why Alonso's army was allowed to enter the former army's camp almost without hindrance. This was also the night attack of the Snow Fox Legion and the Iron Wall Legion that attracted the main attention of the camp, so Alonso could take advantage of it. .

The division head of the 4th Rifle Division saw that the blocking rifle brigade had been caught in the pincer attack of two knight orders, and without any hesitation, he jumped out of the encirclement, hid in the shadows of the camp, and fled in an instant .

"The head of the division has escaped."

I don't know who yelled, the rifle unit that was still able to hold back completely collapsed, and was completely dispersed by the knights. About ten minutes later, when Shaar came with reinforcements, he could only see the Snow Fox Army and the The infantry units of the Iron Wall Legion are entering the city, and many infantrymen still carry revolvers on their backs.

"Damn it! Put out the fire immediately and count the number of casualties."

When the list of casualties came to Xiaya, he couldn't help but curse.

"These sinister villains of the Kingdom of Cleveland."

Kira took a look at the casualty report, and his face turned ashen for a while, it was a sneak attack tonight.

The left wing battalion was burned down, with more than 50,000 casualties, including more than 10,000 infantry soldiers. Although the former army camp was prepared, it suffered a lot of losses in the face of front and rear flank attacks, with more than 30,000 casualties. One of the rifle brigades was nearly Ten thousand people were directly maimed.

That night, the Allied Forces of the Ten Sides suffered heavy losses. In addition to the consumption during this period, the 100,000 infantry regiment had less than 60,000 left, and new riflemen had to be replenished as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, haven't the nine grand dukes always wanted to purchase rifles? The empire has also heard that there are 50,000 revolver rifles in the second batch of supplies, which can be used to equip the troops of the ten-party coalition forces." Kira quickly remembered Tell me the good news you just got today.

Sure enough, after hearing Kira's words, Shaar's complexion got better.

"Is there any action in Melox Province?" Shaar asked.

Kira thought for a while and said, "One hundred thousand unified troops have been reinforced on the border, among which there are fifty thousand war crossbowmen."

"Hmph! Our Marquis Aslan wants to take advantage again."

Kira shook her head thoughtfully.

"Probably not. I heard that the main generals of the United Army are all in their respective stations, and they haven't made much progress. Aslan has just returned to Merlot City, so it is impossible to react so quickly."
