Bell Kingdom, King City Bell City, outside the city.
"kill--"
"go to hell!"
"Die!"
"Bang bang bang!"
"Boom boom-"
"Help---"
"save"
Cries of killing, cannonballs, bullets, and calls for help. All kinds of messy sounds rang out in this area. Human lives are like weeds in this battlefield, and they are worthless at all. Every second, a dozen people will fall. .
The whole battlefield was full of gunpowder smoke and blood.
Blood and corpses covered every inch of land for miles around.
In the distance, on a continuous high platform in the middle of the camp, Hornby carefully observed the battlefield with binoculars, and looked at the people of Hall and Bell Kingdom who were constantly falling. fluctuation.
Because he is used to it!
In the past few months, the people of Hall and Bell Kingdom seem to have fallen into a vicious circle called war, and they can't get out no matter how they go!
In this regard, both sides have noticed that there is a mastermind behind this war!
But even if you notice it, there is nothing you can do, because the two sides are fighting until now unless one side surrenders or is defeated, it is impossible to stop the war!
Originally, when the two sides had been deadlocked for a period of time and their respective death tolls reached nearly 100,000, they could no longer hold on.
One hundred thousand people!
That is nearly one-fifth of the population of their respective kingdoms, and they are still young and strong. After subtracting the old and the young and subtracting the women, how many young and strong can there be left in a kingdom? At most more than 200,000, which is nearly half!
However, just when the two sides deliberately stopped to negotiate, the ghost fire gave Hornby a large amount of arms at a price that was almost free.
With the strong support of this batch of arms, the army of the Hall Kingdom led by Hornby made great progress all the way, and they advanced directly to the capital of the Bell Kingdom, Bell City.
But also because of this, the negotiation broke down!
When we hit here, the death toll of the Hall Kingdom has reached nearly 150,000, and the death toll of the Bell Kingdom has reached 250,000. The original population of one million on the entire island has shrunk to 600,000 in an instant. Most are women, the elderly and children.
In fact, Hornby had already guessed who was behind the scenes, but even if he guessed it, there was nothing he could do. After all, he had already advanced to Bell City, could he still give up?
If you give up, don't all those who died during this time die in vain?
So just bite the bullet!
Fortunately, Hall Kingdom has an absolute advantage. In addition to the advantage in arms, the water source of Bell Kingdom has been cut off for nearly a month.
In this case, as long as Hornby defends the water source, after a period of time, the Bell Kingdom will not be attacked and broken.
Of course, the current Bell Kingdom can no longer hold on.
During this period of time, the Bell Kingdom, regardless of gender, age, or child, went into battle and attacked Hornby's camp crazily, feeling a little hysterical.
Hornby knew that their water reserves were running out!
"Da da da!"
At this time, a soldier hurried over.
"Report-"
"Say!"
"General, the ammunition is almost exhausted. Judging from the current battle situation, it can only last for about three hours. If the battle situation is more intense, it will last for less than half an hour at most!"
"I see!"
After hearing the bad news, Hornby nodded lightly, and there was no surprise!
The two sides have been fighting so far, and they have bought countless firearms and artillery. There is no shortage of these. One gun or even two is not a problem, but the consumption of bullets and artillery shells is quite severe.
Especially these days, the Bell Kingdom's counterattack is fierce, which has caused the consumption of ammunition to be more serious, and he has been completely out of contact with the ghost fire recently, and it is not bad to have this amount left today!
And if he guessed correctly, then next, there will be a "good-hearted person" in the already desperate Bell Kingdom who will give them a large amount of arms for free, so that they can make a comeback.
Sure enough, not long after the soldier's report, another soldier hurried over.
"Report-"
"Say!"
"A large amount of arms suddenly appeared in the kingdom of Bell, which completely suppressed our army, and now they have come over!"
Not as Hornby expected.
It's bad news, but Hornby is already prepared!
He calmly issued the order: "Notify everyone, according to the plan, the entire army retreats in an orderly manner!"
"Yes!" The soldier saluted, then turned and left to inform everyone!
After a while, the entire camp became restless.
"Quick, pack up and prepare to retreat!"
"Hurry up! Don't need all the flying thunder cannons, just bring artillery."
"Get your stuff and install the explosive packs!"
"Be careful when installing!"
After a while of panic, the 5,000 people in the camp were ready, and the 15,000 soldiers on the front line began to retreat slowly.
"Kill!"
"Rush over, don't let them run away!"
"Keep them!"
On the other side, the army of Bell Kingdom made a sound of shouting and killing. Under the command of Duford, more than 30,000 miscellaneous troops rushed towards the army of Hall Kingdom.
Most of these 30,000 people are strong women, except for some young and strong men, and a small number are old men and children in their early ten years. .
There was no way, too many young men died, and such an army was formed only as a last resort.
If it weren't for the centuries-old hatred between the two kingdoms and the fierce customs of the people, the normal kingdom would have surrendered long ago, and it would be impossible to fight to this level.
However, these 30,000 people are also Duford's last chance. Because it has hit the current level, there are voices in the country that want to surrender. If it wasn't for the "good-hearted people" who just sent a large amount of arms, they would have even surrendered. !
Therefore, these 30,000 people are also the last chance for the Bell Kingdom. If they can't win, or even tie, then they will have to surrender when the water source is cut off!
"call--"
Duford drank a cigar, took a hard puff, and then spit it out. A few months ago, he couldn't smoke, but these months, with the constant pressure, he has no teacher. He learned to smoke on his own, because in this way he can calm down a little!
And the culprit that led to all this, he also had guesses in his heart, and even he just accepted the "kindness" of the culprit.
Can't accept it!
Under the current situation, even if both sides knew the mastermind behind the scenes, they could not stop the war.
The main reason is profit!
The Hall Kingdom has already reached here. How can the war be stopped when the Bell Kingdom is about to be wiped out?
And the Bell Kingdom has been attacked to the capital, and has even been cut off from water for a month, and the army has been blocked outside their royal city. There are only two choices in front of them, either desperately, or surrender!
Duford himself was not in favor of surrendering, so this batch of arms sent by the ghost fire was his only chance.
If he loses, even if he doesn't agree, those people in the country will force him to surrender!
"call--"
Duford exhaled another puff of cigarette, then threw the cigar in his mouth directly on the ground, looking at the battle in front of him, his eyes narrowed slightly, although Hornby retreated, but he did not feel joy at all.
Judging from what he knew about this old opponent, if he retreated at such a critical moment, he would definitely keep his backhand.
But in this world, who doesn't have a back-up?
Thinking about it, Duford slowly walked towards the battlefield, took off his coat as he walked, and threw it aside, revealing the strong muscles inside.
"No matter what kind of backhand you have, no matter who's backhand is powerful, old rival, in the end, let us come to a fight in person and completely end this war!" Duford murmured, with a hint of hysteria in his eyes. crazy.
And the three hundred bloated men behind him who were wearing steel shields, also showed hysterical madness in their eyes, and slowly walked towards the battlefield with Duford.
