Chapter 383 The Battle Begins
Upon learning that the enemy had retreated and the arrival of the King's warship at the pier, Baron Kevin quickly asked the soldiers to open the city gate and hurried to the pier to welcome the king.
"His Majesty."
When he saw Irving, Baron Kevin strodes his chest and said excitedly: "It's considered that you've been waiting for you."
"What?" Owen just walked down from the warship. "Can the People's Army stationed in Fengsui City resist the rebels' attack? There were serious casualties?"
"That's not." Baron Kevin shook his head, "The rebels sent small troops to harass many times in the past few days, but the People's Army was only injured, and it was not a big deal."
Then, he said with some concern: "But I heard that the number of rebels is more than the People's Army stationed in Fengsui City. Even if we have the advantage in terms of weapons, if they launch a general attack regardless of everything, I am worried that Fengsui City will not be able to defend it."
"snort."
In response to this, Owen snorted coldly and said, "The rebels gathered by Duke Lehman and others are just a group of mobs, and they are not afraid at all."
The main combat power of the rebels, there were about a thousand knights under the command of the nobles in the North and West areas. Their individual combat power may be OK, but they lack coordination and cooperation with each other, and they cannot form a strong synergy.
As for the others, they are nothing more than guards and mercenaries recruited by money. They are not even as good as knights, so I won’t talk about them.
In contrast, the People's Army has only been allowed to go to the battlefield after rigorous training, and adopts the model of veterans leading new recruits, so that the overall combat effectiveness can be better exerted.
In addition, based on the intelligence collected by intelligence agencies before, the rebel nobles ordered blacksmiths to step up the construction of muskets and artillery last year.
It seems that only four or five hundred front-mounted muskets have been created, but I won’t even give a single hand to the Knights.
The only thing worth noting is the several artillery possessed by the rebels, which, even in front-mounted style, still poses a certain threat to the gates of Fengsui City.
However, it is no longer a problem now.
Because Irving came to support Fengsui City with more advanced weapons and equipment, the rebel artillery will become a decoration and will not play its due role.
"Take me into the city and report to me in detail the recent actions of the rebels." Owen said.
"Yes, your majesty." Baron Kevin nodded and turned toward him, "Please follow me."
...
At the same time, Winnie was performing a high-altitude reconnaissance mission, flying all the way to the west of Fengsui City.
After flying for a while, she vaguely saw the rebel barracks in the distance, with many tents connected together, stationed in an open and flat place.
A few wisps of smoke rose in the camp, as if preparing for today's lunch.
In order to hide her figure, Winnie changed her flight direction and flew towards the transverse mountains to the north, landed on the branches of a tree on the mountain, and hid in the canopy to observe the rebels in the distance.
Holding up the microphone with her right hand, she whispered the message to the People's Army.
"Hey? This is Winnie. I have found the rebels' location, it's done."
"Sizi—This is the King warship. I have received the news. Your Majesty ordered you to find the enemy's position and fly back quickly to participate in the combat plan meeting. It is finished."
"I understand, I'll be back soon, it's over."
After saying that, Winnie looked up at the rebels in the distance, and confirmed that no one noticed her, so she jumped up suddenly, flapped her wings behind her, and flew towards Fengsui City.
Not long after it flew away, a dark green snake that had just woken up from hibernation crawled out of the tree.
It raised its snake's head and stared at Winnie who was gradually moving away, and spit out a letter.
Winnie was very lucky to escape.
...
After formulating a combat plan, Irving did not rush to attack the rebels, but waited for two more days before the subsequent first batch of People's Army arrived in Fengsui City before starting to operate according to the combat plan.
During this period, Irving sent Winnie to conduct air reconnaissance on the rebels many times, monitoring their every move.
On a clearing ground outside the west gate of Fengsui City, more than 3,000 people's army gathered here, ready to go.
Six artillery tractors pulled large artillery to the built artillery position.
After the car stopped, the artillerymen quickly took action, some moved the shells and other supplies on the van, while others debugged the cannons and prepared to shell the rebels at that time.
At this time, six more armored vehicles drove over and stopped beside the position.
Each car is equipped with a heavy machine gun, carrying a machine gunner and a machine gun deputy, as well as several elite soldiers equipped with semi-automatic rifles.
Although the tanks produced by the dwarf craftsmen failed to catch up with this spring offensive, there was nothing to do with it. These alone were enough for the rebels to drink a pot.
Baron Kevin looked at these unrecognized military cars and new weapons with shock, and opened his mouth and said no longer.
After a while, he turned his head and asked Owen on the side, "Your Majesty, are these?"
"These are all weapons and equipment that the People's Army has only recently equipped."
Owen raised his finger and pointed at the new equipment and introduced in turn: "That is the artillery tractor. What it just pulled over was the latest large artillery developed by Dawn City, and those vehicles were armored vehicles..."
Baron Kevin was extremely surprised to learn that those iron cars did not need horses to pull, but instead ran on internal combustion engines, and at the same time he felt that he could not keep up with the times.
"That, your majesty."
After listening to Irving's introduction, Baron Kevin couldn't help asking again: "I see that the soldiers are fiddling with those large artillery. Will the shells be fired here later?"
"That's right." Owen replied.
"Eh?" Baron Kevin couldn't believe it, "Can you fight? The rebels are so far away from here."
Owen turned his head and showed a faint smile on his face.
"As long as you know the enemy's position, you can shoot it. The range of large artillery is far beyond your imagination."
Hearing this, Baron Kevin felt frightened and his eyes widened.
The range of the large artillery is too exaggerated! The People's Army that owns it may have no rivals in the territory of the Morning Light Kingdom, and the rebellion of Duke Leman and his group may have been defeated.
Fortunately, he stood in the right team, and Baron Kevin was very grateful to think of it.
"Do you understand your mission?"
On the other hand, Viscount Jawes was confirming the content of the mission to the soldiers of the armored vehicle troops.
The soldiers stood with their heads held high and responded loudly: "I understand!"
"very good."
Viscount Jawes nodded with satisfaction and immediately ordered: "Then you go out quickly!"
"yes!"
The soldiers of the armored vehicle unit quickly turned around and returned to the car to sit down. The driver started the vehicle and carried the soldiers first and ran towards the west.
"His Majesty!"
At this time, Winnie, who had worn the wireless phone, walked over, stood up in front of Owen, and said, "I'm ready, too."
"Um."
Owen nodded and reminded: "Be careful, remember to contact the communications officer in time and report the situation of the war."
"clear!"
After saying that, Winnie put on her goggles, took a step back, flapped her wings and flew into the air. After rising to a certain height, she turned around and accelerated towards the rebels.
Chapter completed!
