Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 19 Retreat

Although Rivet Atwick saw the terrible situation of his army, the battle that was about to break in Weihai City made him a little reconciled.

As long as Weihai City was breached at a huge cost at this time, the last piece of land of the Ice Kingdom on the mainland would be lost. At that time, even more reinforcements would be meaningless.

However, if this persistence is not a solution, Rivet Atwick saw the northern army that had already voluntarily retreated, he couldn’t help but feel a little weak.

suddenly! Levitt Atwick discovered that the frontal battlefield of Weihai City had not been attacked by Xia Guo at all. His inspiration flashed, and he knew that it was precisely because of the perspective that Xia Guo’s battleship attack had a dead end.

“Send an order to let the two withdrawn troops from the north and south launch an offensive from the front. They must break through the enemy city!” Riviette Atwick’s order gave the troops of the North Han Kingdom who were at a loss to have a goal.

Although there is a distance outside the city within the range of Xia Guo’s artillery attack, as long as you rush over this distance, you can enter under Weihai City, and you will never be attacked by Xia Guo warships again.

Moreover, Xia Guo’s artillery range has a limit. Not to mention the farthest range, even the first-class naval gun on the Apocalypse super battleship has an effective range of only one thousand meters. You must know that this is 180 millimeters. Overweight cannon of caliber!

Counting the length of the city of Weihai and the distance between the warships and the sea, the artillery that attacked the Northern Cold Army had reached the farthest effective range of the naval gun, so Livet Atwick found the fighter.

After Li Bao learned that the army of the Northern Han Kingdom had not been repelled, he was also a little surprised by the enemy’s fighting will. This was the first time he saw such resilience in an army outside of Xia Kingdom.

Benedict Keogh was full of confidence in the defense of Weihai City since the Xia State battleship fired its guns, but now what he sees is that the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom resolutely withstood the Xia State battleship’s artillery bombardment against Weihai City. Forcibly launched an offense, which made him feel worried again.

When Chang Sun Sheng saw a worried Benedict Keogh who didn’t dare to say anything rashly, he stepped forward to reassure him: “You don’t have to worry, since my Daxia army is here, I won’t be against Weihai City. Turn a blind eye to danger.”

“That’s good! That’s good!” Benedict Keogh, who received a little comfort, laughed and said, “You have come to the country.”

As Chang Sun Sheng said, how could Li Bao ignore the enemy’s attack? If this allows the enemy to break Weihai City like this, isn’t this just hitting Xia Guo in the face?

When Li Bao saw the failure of his plan to repel the enemy with naval artillery alone, he immediately ordered: “Order: The Marine Brigade immediately land a battalion to support the friendly defense of the city.”

“Yes! The final commander obeyed.” Xiang Chen Lima, who was ordered, sent a battalion of the Marine Brigade ashore to support the defenders of Weihai City.

Xiang Chen, the brigade commander of the Marine Brigade, has the title of Major General—General Zhenwei. He sent a battalion just like the army’s infantry battalion, with a force of 1,500.

Although the infantry battalion does not have the support and coordinated operations of artillery and cavalry, its flintlock rifle is sufficient to defend the city and repel the enemy’s offensive, and there is strong support from battleship artillery on the sea.

In less than half an hour, all the officers and soldiers of a battalion of the Marine Brigade had landed, and after gathering the whole team at the port, they immediately headed towards the western city wall.

The army in Weihai City knew that the Xia Guo fleet on the sea was their support, so there was no blocking or hostility.

The officers and soldiers of a battalion of Xia Guo Marine Corps came to the fortress of Weihai City unimpeded. After seeing that many places had been occupied by the enemy and continued to expand, they immediately joined the battle.

The soldiers of the Ice and Snow Kingdom on the head of Weihai City were entangled with the troops of the Northern Cold Kingdom at this time, which made it difficult for the officers and soldiers of Xia State to use the flintlock platoon tactics.

But if left alone and unable to eliminate the enemy in time, it might also put Xia’s army in danger. Therefore, at this time, Xia Guo’s officers at all levels did not hesitate, and they all gave orders to shoot against the entangled city.

As for the small matter of accidentally wounding the friendly army, it is completely unnecessary to worry about it. As long as the crisis in Weihai City is reversed, people in the Ice and Snow Kingdom would not dare to say anything.

Besides, it is inevitable to accidentally injure friendly forces on the battlefield, anyway, as long as the accidental injury is not Xia’s army…

With the participation of the Xia State Marine Brigade, and the rows of guns fired, soon only Xia State’s army and some soldiers from the Snow Kingdom who had been hiding in time were left on the front of the city, and the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom All were wiped out.

After letting the army of the Ice Kingdom, which had almost lost all of its losses, leave the city wall, the officers and soldiers of Xia State, who were able to perform fully, launched an attack on the enemy outside the city.

It is still very difficult for a battalion of Xia Guo soldiers to defend all the walls of Weihai City, so after Li Bao received the battle report from the front line, he ordered all the remaining Marines to land.

The remaining four infantry battalions of the Marine Brigade docked first in order to support the city wall, the remaining two cavalry battalions, one artillery battalion, and a rear guard battalion and the Marine Brigade’s brigade headquarters It was the last to land.

With a steady stream of reinforcements on the city wall, the crisis of Weihai City is gone. The army of the Northern Cold Kingdom was not strong enough to break through the city defended by Xia Guo’s 15,000 men.

Rivet Atwick outside the city saw the defensive strength of the city suddenly skyrocketed, and he guessed that this was the Xia country’s army participating in the war, and he also knew that he wanted to break Weihai before the Xia country’s army was unstable. The city is completely hopeless.

After seeing the powerful combat power of Xia’s army, Rivet Atwick also had to give an order to retreat.

With the retreat of the Beihan Kingdom, the offensive and defensive battle of Weihai City came to an end-the danger of Weihai City was also relieved.

“General, are you chasing the enemy?” Xiang Chen asked Li Bao, who walked up to the top of the city to check.

Li Bao looked down at the corpses at his feet, then looked at the countless corpses inside and outside the city wall, shook his head, and replied: “No, our army is here for the first time. It’s better to set up camp first.”

Xiang Chen thought for a while, and felt that Li Bao was right. Anyway, they are indispensable to fight the enemy when they came to support the Snow Kingdom this time. They are not in a hurry at this time, and the Marine Brigade has been sailing for several days at sea. We fought a battle at the shore, but we still have to take a break.

Next, without Li Bao’s order, Xiang Chen arranged for the Marine Brigade to establish a temporary camp in an open area south of Weihai City by the sea.

When building the camp, Benedict Keogh planned to let people come to help, but how could such a thing let outsiders come to help? Otherwise, Li Bao and Xiang Chen would take a break directly in Weihai City.
