Chapter 220: Eternal Frozen Green in the Snow and Mist(2/2)
"Rush over and kill these traitors!"
The officer leading the team stepped on the wooden box, stabbed and chopped down the crossbowmen and wizards who were sniping on the roof, and then shouted to the soldiers behind him to move forward across the road checkpoint full of corpses and debris.
It is only a few hundred meters away from the palace gate.
Although the equipment and individual strength of the private troops in the city were slightly better, the legionnaires who rushed into the city clearly knew better about tactical coordination, and their discipline and will were better than those of the noble private soldiers and rebels.
Under the fierce attack, the defensive lines were broken one by one, and the destination was in sight.
Rows of soldiers in black smocks have already been waiting in front of the palace. They hold shields and form a solid wall. Their black spears and muskets are aimed at the outside. They are densely packed like hedgehogs.
Looking at the coats of arms on these soldiers' blouses, the leading officer immediately recognized their origins.
"The Kahuaiya Family's 'Sound Guard'."
The Kahuaiya family is a well-known royalist among the upper echelons of the empire. They have been trusted by the royal family for generations. Their family's motto is "Silence and fate". They are famous for keeping secrets and acting in silence, but this time they actually sided with the rebels.
"Fire!"
Unable to care about so much at this time, the officers ordered to open fire. In the rain, short bursts of musketry began to fire.
In the rain curtain, water splashed on the erected shield, but it was still not broken, and then the sound of counterattack gunfire also sounded.
The firelight flickered from the dark muzzles of the guns, and then knocked down the oncoming legionnaires into the rain.
Facing these "Silent Guards" who had already prepared strong shields and fortifications, the Dongying Legion who broke through into the city obviously lacked firepower.
After encountering the blow, the team's forward momentum was instantly suppressed, and they had to shrink behind the building at the intersection to avoid the constant shooting from the opposite side.
"Damn it." Looking around, the officers entering the city quickly discovered the disadvantage of this position.
There is an empty square in front of the palace. If they rush forward, they will have to withstand the fierce and cross firepower of the opponent. If they hide here to counterattack, not to mention delaying time, and because of the narrow intersection, they will not be able to spread out their team at all, so they will not be able to
Take advantage of numbers.
When the officer on the front line was in a dilemma, there was a rush of horse hooves in the street behind him.
A soldier on the road quickly moved out of the way to let the oncoming cavalry pass.
"Lord Severi is here!" The ecstatic shouts rang out among the soldiers, making the commander feel relieved for the time being.
"Charge with me."
After quickly observing the situation with a sweeping gaze, Severi led the people forward without stopping.
The horses' hooves stepped heavily in the rain, causing large splashes of water. The cavalry team formed a triangle and rushed out of the intersection at a shocking speed, moving forward at high speed in the rain.
Continuous gunshots rang out in the square, and then one by one the elite cavalry were knocked down from their horses. The horses slid along the rain-drenched ground and rushed in front of the densely packed array of spear points.
"Come on!"
With the heroic cover of the cavalry, the soldiers at the intersection also rushed out and began to shoot and approach continuously. Countless water splashes and blood instantly splashed on the square, and the battle entered the most anxious state from the beginning.
After sacrificing dozens of cavalry, the charging team finally approached the densely arranged black array.
Sifule took the lead, smashing through the thick military formation like a cannonball. Under its sweeping spear, the soldiers were lifted into the air, and then fell to the ground, letting out a scream of broken bones and painful wails.
In a rage, the general ignored his usual wisdom and elegance, and rampaged through the formation like a murderous god, disrupting the musketeers one by one.
After breaking through the array, the cavalry that followed brandished their sabers in the heavy rain and killed the soldiers in black smocks at high speed, opening up a road full of blood and corpses.
"Enter the palace!"
There was a loud bang, and the closed palace door was pierced by the blazing and bright red spear points, and then a ferocious gap was torn open. Then soldiers filed in one by one and fought with the private soldiers of the nobles who stayed behind.
