"Send someone to hand over those leaflets to me immediately." Duke Azrael shouted dissatisfied.
Immediately, a large number of noble guards rushed out and handed over the leaflets, but this time it was different from the past.
This time, there were actually soldiers who openly resisted the surrender of these noble guards, and there were even soldiers who openly resisted.
"These hateful nobles are indeed not good people. They forced His Majesty the Emperor to leave, and now His Majesty is about to return. These nobles who do all kinds of evil will no longer be able to stay around for a few days."
shouted a soldier from the Province of Cleveland.
Soon soldiers from the Province of Cleveland responded.
The people of Cleveland, who belonged to the province directly under the emperor, had always enjoyed the highest public treatment in the kingdom, and lived a pleasant life before the emperor was overthrown.
Taxes are the lowest in the country and people who can no longer survive can also go to the royal farm to join the royal family. The royal family will usually take them in and become farm tenants, which is better than serfs and they are still free.
During the holidays, the emperor would also give meat to the tenant farmers who worked for the royal family, which won over a lot of people.
In fact, more than 80% of the former Imperial Guards in Kyoto were born as tenant farmers on the royal farms, and they were loyal to His Majesty the Emperor.
When the Eight Wings rebelled, the Royal Guards almost fought to the death, causing considerable casualties to the Eight Wings. It was precisely because of the Royal Guards' desperate fighting that Emperor Shani was given the opportunity to flee to Merox Province.
.
Now that these royal farms have been divided up by the Eight Young Masters, the originally free tenant farmers have instantly become serfs. Not only do they have to work overloaded every day, they still don't have enough to eat, and some young men are even captured to serve as soldiers.
In addition, the taxes in the province of Cleveland have also returned to normal levels. For a time, the entire province of Cleveland was filled with complaints.
Now that I heard that Emperor Shani, with the support of Marquis Aslan, would lead a large army to counterattack the province of Cleveland and liberate the people who were oppressed by the nobles, there was a sudden uproar in the military camp.
Duke Azrael frowned when he saw that his bodyguard had not come back to report for a long time.
Patrick also realized something was wrong, and just when he was about to order someone to check, a gunshot rang out.
Upon hearing the gunshot, Uzmi and Patrick's expressions changed instantly.
Because the gunfire belonged to a revolver, and the noble guards were equipped with single-shot breech-loading rifles.
"Something happened!" After Patrick said that, he led the people out of the camp, and then saw the scene of their collapse.
The Cleveland Army soldiers equipped with revolvers exchanged fire with the noble guards and private troops. The Cleveland Army took the lead in opening fire. Coupled with the close distance, the firepower advantage of the revolver rifles was fully utilized.
Without the need for command, the neat infantry formation slowly advanced, beating the nobles' private army back step by step. Finally, the professional knights among the nobles came on the scene to barely stop the rout.
Part of the noble private army in the center of Cleveland's army launched an attack, and another part of Cleveland's army began to destroy the camp. Especially those city defenders who were loyal to the nobles were shot and killed inexplicably.
The camp of Cleveland's three million troops was in chaos from the inside out.
The outermost is the well-trained professional city defense army, the innermost is the noble private army and personal guards, and sandwiched in the middle is the new army that the Cleveland Federal Kingdom has recruited and temporarily formed in recent years.
At first, I was worried that these new troops would be unable to withstand the morale blow of the United Army and lose control, so they would be transferred to the middle of the main army. I did not expect that it would lead to the negative consequences today.
Attacked by the new army from front to back, in just ten minutes, the entire camp was engulfed in fire, which stretched for dozens of miles, leaving Gao Wen in the unified army camp stunned.
"Is this internal strife?" Concas said subconsciously.
"The magical mechanized unit is ready to attack, and all artillery units are free to fire." Gawain gave the order decisively.
These large-scale fire companies are said to be designed by the Cleveland Army to ambush the United Army. The price is too high!
The full name of the Magical Armored Regiment is the Magical Armored Regiment, a unit whose main equipment is armored personnel carriers or infantry fighting vehicles.
Mechanized troops are fast-moving defensive troops that can retreat quickly during battle.
The main equipment is the Weir infantry fighting vehicle independently developed by Melo. This tank weighs 18 tons, has a single-operated turret, and is equipped with a single-base gunpowder 75mm gun. It can carry 8 fully armed unified troops at one time.
Soldier?
There is also the Weir A-type infantry fighting vehicle specially modified for Knight armor and Guard armor, which can transport 4 armored warriors under normal circumstances.
The armored transport vehicle is much simpler and more violent. It is completely modified from a large off-road truck. It has 15mm thick armor plates welded around it. It is equipped with a caliber single-base powder heavy machine gun on the top and eight hatches on the roof.
, allowing soldiers to stretch out their bodies to shoot, and can transport up to fourteen soldiers.
The Vail tank took the lead, followed by the infantry transport vehicle. Nearly a hundred tanks rushed out of the unified army camp, followed by dozens of armored off-road vehicles, all equipped with Type 56 machine gun mounts on their roofs.
As long as the Type 56 light machine gun is mounted on it, it can be used as a vehicle-mounted machine gun.
As soon as the combined army's convoy appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of the Cleveland Army. They detached a part of their troops to assist the noble private army in suppressing the uprising troops, and the other troops were all ready to fight.
They have already seen the magic engine electric car. In fact, it has become an emerging status symbol in the aristocratic circle. The starting price of the magic electric car sold in Kyoto is at least 50,000 gold coins, and ordinary small nobles also buy it.
Sorry.
But they have never seen such a big magic electric car.
"Wait until it's two hundred meters before shooting!"
The officers of each city defense force quickly ran through the trenches and reminded each soldier.
Revolvers use line tactics, while single-shot breech-loading rifles use trench fighting. Warfare makes people improve very quickly. Many things do not need to be taught. Veterans can quickly master them as long as they have seen them.
Those soldiers who could not be controlled died.
The infantry fighting vehicle entered the shooting range first, and the Cleveland city defense troops opened fire decisively, and then they saw a scene that made them desperate.
Bullets kept ricocheting off the armor of the infantry fighting vehicle, but the infantry fighting vehicle rushed toward them at unabated speed.
The 75mm cannon on the turret began to fire, and the shells continued to bombard the trenches. From time to time, soldiers were blown out of the trenches, with their limbs and arms flying around.
But this was just the beginning. The artillery in the unified army camp opened fire collectively, and shells from nearly sixty artillery pieces of various types continued to fall on the city defense army's position, blasting the position into flying dust.
As a result, the rebel army's offensive slowed down, but the city defenders were blocked in their positions and subjected to artillery fire.
The W7 system has crashed. It has been showing blue screens for the past few days. Just restart it. Today it cannot be started at all. I feel like crying without tears. I am reinstalling the system and will fix it later.
