Otherworldly Castle Era

Chapter 20 Fight again

When the Xia Guo Expeditionary Army was camping outside Weihai City, Livet Atwick led the defeated troops of the Northern Han Kingdom to retreat to a place ten kilometers west of Weihai City.

After a simple inventory, Levitt Atwick discovered that the previous siege had lost 20,000 to 30,000, which gave him a clear understanding of the shelling power of the Xia Kingdom battleship.

The Ice and Snow Kingdom has only Weihai City on the mainland, and Livet Atwick will never give up his ultimate goal of driving the opponent out of the sea.

However, Rivet Atwick had seen the power of Xia’s army. If he only used the more than 60,000 people in his hands to attack, he would not see the slightest chance of winning.

“Come here, go back to the Lord King for help, remember, report the situation here clearly.” Livet Atwick had no choice but to order his knights to go back and find reinforcements.

“No! This lord can’t just wait like that.” Levitt Atwick thought for a while, felt that waiting is not a way, so he immediately ordered: “Send people to enlist in the surrounding area and remove all the surrounding areas. All the young men are brought to this lord.”

Following this order from Livet Atwick, the surrounding villages and towns outside of Weihai City can be regarded as bad luck. Basically all the males have been forcibly conscripted into the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom.

Recruitment is definitely not just a matter of strengthening the youth. Originally, these villages and towns were tortured because of the war, but now after the Northern Cold Kingdom’s army, there are basically not many living people.

But precisely because of this, Rivet Atwick recruited a large number of soldiers in a short time, and the number directly exceeded one hundred thousand, but its quality must have seriously declined.

However, what Livet Atwick wanted was not to use these people to break Weihai City, but to use these newly recruited soldiers to harass the troops of the Ice Kingdom and Xia Kingdom, otherwise he would not send people back to ask for help. .

Outside of Weihai City, after Xia’s Marine Brigade had built a camp, they began to collect information from the surrounding area and were ready to launch a counterattack against the enemy.

Changsun Sheng and Benedict Keao went to Bingxue Island, the capital city of the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, after the danger of Weihai City was lifted.

Xia Guo supported the Ice and Snow Kingdom this time by the navy, and Chang Sun Sheng, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, still had an important task to make the Ice and Snow Kingdom abide by the agreement.

After Chang Sun Sheng arrived at Ice and Snow Island again, the Ice and Snow City he saw again was not much different from when he arrived many years ago, and even because of the war, it was even more twilight than the Ice and Snow City many years ago.

There was no fork in the meeting and conversation between Chang Sun Sheng and the Queen of the Snow Kingdom. After Queen Aisha learned that Weihai City was rescued by Xia Guo’s army, she readily agreed to Xia Guo’s various conditions. Such a decisive attitude made Changsun Sheng secretly sigh that Aisha deserves to be the queen in charge of a country.

The mining rights of Bingxuedao silver mine for at least ten years, as well as the tariff rights for the same number of years, are enough for Xia Guo to earn enough benefits.

Fortunately, silver mining depends on the mining equipment and personnel. For Xia Guo, silver is only a precious metal and industrial raw material.

Tariff power in the Kingdom of Ice and Snow is the big one. Tariff power is more than just collecting tariffs. Tariff power includes a series of powers such as tariff setting power, tariff collection power and customs abolition power.

The control of tariff power is to control all foreign trade of the Kingdom of Ice and Snow. This is an extremely huge advantage for the foreign trade that Xia Guo is about to start, because in this way, Xia Guo can dump all domestic industrial products abroad.

…

Ever since Rivet Atwick’s campaign for youth, Weihai City has often received harassment from the Northern Cold Kingdom. Although it did not cause much loss, it still made people feel impatient.

However, Xia Guo has not experienced this kind of harassment war, and naturally knows how to deal with it-as long as all the enemy forces that will be attacked in the future are wiped out.

It is not Xia’s style to be beaten and not fight back, so Xiang Chen took the initiative after destroying the incoming enemy and sent a cavalry battalion to actively search for the enemy’s main force and prepare to attack.

Searching for the enemy’s main force is very simple. You can find it by following the enemy’s marching route. Therefore, after obtaining the location of the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom, Xiang Chen led the entire marine brigade to attack after obtaining the consent of Li Bao.

Of course, Witt Atwick, who was initiating the harassment, knew exactly what was happening in Weihai City. When he learned that Xia’s army was attacking him, he was soon ready to fight.

Although Xia Guo’s Marine Brigade had only 15,000 people, its weapons and equipment and the quality of its personnel were far higher than the 100,000 people in the Northern Cold Kingdom.

In addition to the ordinary infantry, the Marine Brigade also has an artillery battalion of 150 field artillery pieces, 50 siege artillery pieces, and two battalions of 3,000 cavalry. The field capability is very strong.

Xia Guo has not made any progress in weapons and equipment over the years. The most important and obvious point is the most equipped and most common flintlock musketeer.

Nowadays, the flintlock guns equipped by Xia’s soldiers are not the original front-loaded muskets, but have become front-loaded muskets with longer range, higher accuracy and faster loading The matching cone-shaped bottom expansion projectile (Mini projectile) allows its effective range to reach more than 500 meters.

The conical bottom expands the projectile, and the diameter of the conical projectile is slightly smaller than the diameter of the barrel, making it easy to load. There is a cone-shaped cavity at the bottom of the warhead. A wooden plug blocks the bottom of the hole. When launching, the gas presses the wooden plug to squeeze into the cavity, forcing the bottom of the bullet to expand, close to the rifle, and close the gap between the bullet and the barrel. The gas cannot be leaked, and the warhead can rotate at a high speed under the pressure of the rifling.

After having such an excellent flintlock, the combat power of Xia’s army has once again improved a lot.

With a long enough range and sufficient shooting accuracy, the original platoon gun tactics can actually be abandoned, but the volley of platoon guns is still very suitable when burst damage is needed.

Therefore, there was no suspense in this offensive by the Marine Brigade, and the army of the Northern Cold Kingdom was defeated by three strikes and five divisions.

Even if the soldiers of the Northern Cold Kingdom’s army were brave enough, they were not afraid of death at all. After all, they charged up to four to five hundred meters away from the enemy and they were wiped out. No one would dare to continue to charge like this.

When the army of the Ice Kingdom saw that the offensive was unfavorable, they turned to defense, but how could they defend against the Xia State army with muskets and cannons on the wasteland?

Among the 100,000 troops of the Northern Cold Kingdom, the young men who were forced to flee the most, the remaining elites had to flee due to huge casualties after seeing this for a period of time with their lives.

After this battle, the 100,000 troops of the Northern Cold Kingdom were completely abolished, either dead or fleeing, so after achieving the goal, Xiang Chen also issued an order to withdraw troops, because the rest was not Xia Guo Thing.
