Chapter 447: Fleeing in all directions

"Damn it, there are too many enemies, at least tens of thousands of people. The Kalmar Alliance will not put all their garrisons in Gothenburg into the attack, right?" Kalmar said in surprise. It has to be said that the strategy adopted by the Kalmar Alliance is very effective. Except for a few troops left, the rest of the troops, nearly 90,000 were all put into the attack. Moreover, they strive to win with one blow, so no reserve team was reserved. When the French army was evading the artillery of the Kalmar Alliance, a large number of Kalmar Alliance soldiers had destroyed the barbed wire that was blocking the position and began to charge towards the French trenches.

"Quick, contact General Dalsey immediately, we need his support." Monty quickly ordered the communications soldiers. Now, the only way is to use the fierce artillery fire of the navy to kill all the Kalmar Alliance troops in front of the French positions, so that they can save the shaky position.

"General, Marshal Monty called." On the "God's Fate", Dalsey was leaning against the railing and watching the movements of the battlefield. The huge fireworks that were rising from time to time in the battlefield were already the noisy shouts of killing, indicating that the battle was getting more and more intense.

After receiving the telegram from the communications corps, Dalsey immediately became serious: "Order all ships to prepare to launch artillery attacks in the area e, f and g areas, and 20 rounds were fast." According to the coordinates that had been calibrated before, the navy was able to quickly grasp the visit of the artillery. The three places, e, f, and g, were exactly 1,000 meters from the 400 meters in front of the French position.

According to Dalsey's order, more than ten warships of the French fleet immediately began to act. The ferocious muzzles began to lightly lit up according to the predetermined coordinates. In less than 5 minutes, all ships were ready.

"Prepare, open fire!" After receiving Dalsey's gesture, the gun captain immediately issued an order to fire.

Suddenly, flames suddenly appeared in the darkness, and the deafening sound of cannons retreated to the entire battlefield with the roar of millions of naval guns. The shells hit the front of the French positions, bringing out a burst of broken limbs and arms that had already risen. Especially the 305mm naval gun, its power was fully interpreted. Often, with one shot, it could create a huge pit with a diameter of more than ten meters and an unmanned land of hundreds of square meters in the charge of the Kalmar Alliance army. When it exploded, it seemed as if even the earth was trembling.

In just 10 minutes of artillery attack, the army of the Kalmar Alliance immediately divided the front and back sections. In the middle was a blank area nearly 500 meters wide. Conservatively estimated that at least tens of thousands of people died in the shelling just now. Many Kalmar Alliance soldiers turned pale, and the courage that they had finally accumulated had disappeared at this moment.

The Kalmar Alliance soldiers who had already rushed to the front of the French position were also stunned by this terrifying moment, and all stood foolishly, not knowing what to do. However, the French soldiers seemed to be not affected at all, as if they were no longer surprised. The completely opposite behavior of the two sides immediately caused heavy losses to the Kalmar Alliance army. While the Kalmar Alliance soldiers were in a daze, the French gathered all the heavy machine guns, and used machine guns and mortars to launch a fierce attack on the Kalmar Alliance army. Unpredictable, the Kalmar Alliance army was easily killed like a grain of wheat.

The Kalma Alliance army, who had woken up, did not continue to attack forward, but immediately turned around and retreated to its position at a speed countless times faster than when the attack was launched. During this process, the French army took the opportunity to kill a lot.

Kyle, Eric and others had no choice but to gather the remaining troops and prepare to wait for the troops to rest and launch a new attack. After statistics, the Kalmar League lost nearly 20,000 people in the previous attack. What's more important is that many soldiers were scared by the fierce artillery fire of the French army. If they want them to attack the French again, to be precise, they would launch a fierce attack as fiercely as last time, it would definitely be impossible.

"I'm a bitch, I almost broke through the French defense line." Kyle said in a very atmosphere. It was just a little short of that. Karma's army rushed into the French defense line. If that were the case, the French navy would never dare to launch such a fierce shelling. Because at that time, the two armies had been completely mixed up. The shelling would definitely hurt French soldiers by accident.

Eric also looked helpless. Although his artillery performed well, this did not work at all.

"General Woodno, what should we do next?" Kyle asked. Now, Booz and Kolby are both staying behind, and the highest rank on the battlefield is Woodno from Norway.

"What else can I do? Let the soldiers take a break and try to launch another attack before dawn." Woodno also said helplessly. Although he watched his compatriots bleed and sacrificed, he had no choice. Because he knew that if they failed, his country and his compatriots would suffer even more cruel persecution.

And at this moment, Booth and Calby were also preparing secretly.

"How is the current situation? Have our army tore the French position open?" Butz asked anxiously. If possible, he still hopes to stay here as the highest commander of the Gothenburg garrison and lead the elite army to leave. It is only when there is no way.

"It's very bad. Our army launched a very fierce attack, but the fierce artillery fire of the French Navy made all our efforts fail. The troops suffered more than 20,000 casualties. Now, Woodno, Kyle and Eric are gathering to prepare for another attack. However, I don't think it's possible to achieve significant results. After all, as long as the French Navy exists, it's basically impossible for our army to escape its fierce artillery attack. It's necessary to pay a very high price to get close to the French position. At that time, the French army, who are ready to fight, will easily send our soldiers who have finally broken through their blockade into resistance." Calby said in a low mood.

"Damn it, what should we do? Is it really the only way to escape?" Butz said unwillingly.

"Yes, general. Unless we are willing to surrender to the French or die here in battle, we must leave this place like hell if we want to survive." Calby also said with a hug.

"Order our people to be prepared to retreat. Once our attack fails again, we retreat immediately." Butz said, determined.

"Okay, general." Calby replied.

At 5 a.m., when it was about to be dawn, the Kalmar League launched the best attack. However, no matter which aspect, this attack could not be compared with the first attack. The soldiers were afraid. Often, when they heard the sound of cannons, they were immediately scared to lie on the ground and pretended to be ostrich, and no matter how their commanders beat and scolded them, they would not go further. Even if they continued to charge, they would immediately be defeated when they encountered the fierce resistance of the French army. This situation continued until dawn. Woodno, Kyle and Eric saw that the attack was hopeless and had to order to retreat.

At the moment when the Kalmar Alliance army failed to attack, Booz immediately led his elite troops to more than 30,000 people, abandoned Gothenburg and retreated to the mountains in northern Sweden.

This made Woodno, Kyle and Eric, who originally planned to defend Gothenburg to the death, hoped that they would not have been dashed. Since the main generals had all escaped, they would naturally not be foolishly staying here and waiting to die. Suddenly, tens of thousands of Kalmar alliance troops scattered. Woodno led more than 30,000 Norwegian troops to withdraw to Norway. Eric and Kyle led more than 20,000 remaining troops to retreat to Stockholm. The remaining Swedish troops threw away their weapons and ran home.

Such a transformation made the French army completely unacceptable. At first, they did not know that the Kalmar alliance army had left Gothenburg and fled in all directions. On the morning of May 5, Monty ordered 10,000 Dutch troops to launch a tentative attack on Gothenburg. However, what they did not expect was that the Dutch army's attack was extremely smooth and there was no resistance at all. This made Monty and Kal and other generals very puzzled, for fear of being caught by the Swedes.

However, when the Dutch broke through the defensive positions outside Gothenburg like a walk, entered the city, and easily occupied the entire city, Monty and the others had to admit it. Their enemies had all abandoned and fled. This made Monty and the others a little amused. They were originally planning to fight again today. But this would be good, at least it could greatly reduce the casualties of the troops.

After occupying Gothenburg, Monty did not immediately pursue the pursuit, but instead adopted a defensive posture. After all, there were still hundreds of thousands of troops and a large amount of supplies still staying on the Jutland Peninsula. They had to be transported to Gothenburg before they could launch a full-scale attack. This time, conservatively estimated that it would take about a week.
