705 Chapter 705: Return of the Emperor
"Send someone to hand over those leaflets to me immediately." Duke Azrael shouted dissatisfied.
Immediately, a large number of noble guards rushed out to hand in those leaflets, but this time was different.
This time, some soldiers openly resisted the payment of these noble guards, and even some soldiers openly resisted.
"These hateful nobles are really not good things. At the beginning, His Majesty was forced to leave, and now His Majesty is about to return. These evil nobles will not be able to play for a few more days."
A soldier from the province of Cleveland shouted.
Soon the soldiers of the Cleveland province responded.
The people of Cleveland, who belonged to the provinces directly under the emperor, had always enjoyed the highest treatment of the people in the kingdom. Before the emperor was overthrown, they lived happily.
Taxation is the lowest in the country, and people who really can't survive can also go to the royal family's farm to join the royal family. The royal family usually takes them in as farm tenants, which is better than serfs and is still free.
During the holidays, the emperor would also give meat to these tenant farmers who worked for the royal family, which won a lot of people's hearts.
In fact, more than 80% of the imperial guards in Kyoto used to be tenant farmers on royal farms, and they were loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
When the Barong family rebelled, the Royal Guards almost fought to the end, causing a lot of casualties to the Barong family. It was also because of the death battle of the Royal Guards that Emperor Shani had the opportunity to flee to the province of Merox .
Now that these imperial family farms are divided up by the Barong family, the free tenant farmers instantly become serfs, not to mention overworked every day, not enough to eat two meals, and even young and strong are arrested and sent to serve as soldiers.
In addition, the taxation of Cleveland Province has also returned to normal levels, and for a while, the entire Cleveland Province complained.
Now hearing that Emperor Shani, with the support of the Marquis of Aslan, will lead an army to counterattack Cleveland Province and liberate them, the people oppressed by the nobles, the barracks are filled with turmoil.
Duke Azrael frowned when he saw that the guards had not come back to report for a long time.
Patrick also realized that something was wrong, and just about to order someone to check, a gunshot rang out.
Hearing the gunshot, Uzmi and Patrick's expressions changed instantly.
Because the gunshot belonged to a revolver, and the noble guards were equipped with single-shot breech-loading rifles.
"Something happened!" After Patrick finished speaking, he led the people out of the tent, and then saw the scene of their collapse.
The soldiers of the Cleveland Army armed with revolvers exchanged fire with the noble guards and private soldiers. The Cleveland Army fired first. Coupled with the relatively short distance, the firepower advantage of the revolver rifle was fully utilized.
Without command, the orderly line of infantry advanced slowly, defeating the nobles' private army steadily, and finally the professional knights among the nobles barely stopped the defeat.
Part of the noble private army in the center of the Cleveland army launched an attack, and another part of the Cleveland army began to destroy the camp, especially those city defense troops loyal to the nobles, who were shot and killed for no reason.
Cleveland's camp of three million troops was in chaos from the inside out.
The outermost part is the well-trained professional city defense army, the innermost part is the private army and personal guards of the nobles, and in the middle is the new army that has been recruited and temporarily formed by the Commonwealth of Cleveland in recent years.
At the beginning, I was worried that these new troops would not be able to withstand the loss of control of the morale of the unified army, and they would be transferred to the middle of the army, but they did not expect that it would cause today's evil consequences.
After being attacked back and forth by the new army, in just ten minutes, the entire camp was engulfed in flames, which stretched for tens of miles, leaving Gao Wen in the unified army camp stunned.
"Is this internal strife?" Concas said subconsciously.
"The magical and mechanized wing is ready to attack, all artillery units are free to fire." Gawain issued an order decisively.
These large-scale burning companies and battalions are said to be designed by the Cleveland Army to ambush the United Army. The price is too high!
The full name of the Magical Mechanized Wing is the Magic Armored Wing, which is mainly equipped with armored transport vehicles or infantry fighting vehicles.
Mechanized units are fast-moving defensive units, and units that retreat quickly in combat.
The main equipment is the Weier infantry fighting vehicle independently developed by Melo. This kind of tank weighs 18 tons. The turret is operated by a single person. It is equipped with a single-base gunpowder 75mm gun and can carry 8 fully armed unified troops at one time. Soldier?
Among them is the Weir A infantry fighting vehicle specially modified for knight armor and guard armor. Under normal circumstances, it can transport 4 armored fighters.
The armored transport vehicle is much simpler and more violent. It is completely refitted from a large off-road truck, with 15mm thick armor plates welded around it, and a 12.5-caliber single-base gunpowder heavy machine gun equipped on the top. There are eight cabins on the roof. The door allows soldiers to stick out and shoot, and can transport up to fourteen soldiers.
The Weir tank led the way, followed by the infantry transport vehicle. Nearly a hundred tanks rushed out of the unified army camp, followed by dozens of armored off-road vehicles, all of which were equipped with Type 56 machine gun racks on the roof. As long as the Type 56 light machine gun is mounted, it can be used as a vehicle-mounted machine gun.
As soon as the convoy of the United Army appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the Cleveland Army. They allocated some troops to assist the noble private army in suppressing the uprising troops, and all the other troops were ready to fight.
They have already seen the magic-powered electric car. In fact, it has become a new status symbol in the aristocratic circle. The starting price of the magic-powered electric car sold in Kyoto is at least 50,000 gold coins. Sorry.
It's just that they have never seen such a big mana electric car.
"Wait until it's 200 meters in and then shoot!"
The officers of the city defense forces quickly ran through the trenches and reminded each soldier.
Revolver rifles use line tactics, while single-shot breech-loading rifles use trenches to fight. Things like war can make people progress rapidly. There are many things that don’t need to be taught, and veterans can quickly master them as long as they have seen them.
Those soldiers who could not be mastered were all dead.
The infantry fighting vehicle entered the shooting range first, and the Cleveland City Defense Force decisively cut off the fire, and then saw a scene that made them desperate.
Bullets kept bouncing off the armor of the infantry fighting vehicles, but the infantry fighting vehicles were rushing towards them without slowing down.
The 75mm gun on the turret began to fire, and the shells continued to bombard the trenches. From time to time, soldiers were directly blasted out of the trenches, with limbs and arms flying around.
But this was just the beginning. The artillery in the unified army camp opened fire collectively, and the shells from nearly sixty artillery pieces of various types kept falling on the position of the city defense army, blowing up the position of dust.
As a result, the offensive of the rebel army slowed down, but the city defense army was blocked in the position and fired.
The W7 system has crashed. It has been blue screen for the past few days. Just restart it. Today it can’t be opened at all. I want to cry but have no tears. I will reinstall the system and fix it later.
