Chapter 499: Careless Loss of Landry
With Bahmut's defeat, everyone, including Urus, believed that the enemy would not launch an attack in the short term.
However, Urus still carried out routine defensive deployment.
The coalition forces put together by the rebels simply disbanded on the spot and everyone returned to their homes.
Seeing this scene, Urus didn't know what to say.
After all, the war was over, and the leaders of these armies had begun urging them to return.
However, just as the coalition forces withdrew to their respective camps, Urus had just stationed an army of 60 in Landri.
Bachmut is back!
After all, they took advantage of the night and made no noise, going straight to the outskirts of Landry City.
It’s not that there were no soldiers on guard duty, but that these soldiers were more or less deficient in vitamins, which caused them to suffer from night blindness.
Even among the most elite Lanno troops, many soldiers suffered from night blindness.
Then, when the enemy was about to reach the city, some soldiers could clearly see the enemy next to the city wall.
Seeing this, the soldiers chose to open fire immediately.
Because now the city wall has become a decoration and was directly turned into ruins by artillery fire.
Orc soldiers can easily climb over the city walls.
Even Urus's revolutionary army did not intend to keep all the enemies out of the city on the city walls.
Perhaps this could be done before the city walls were destroyed.
But what can we do now?
As the gunshots rang out, the defenders in the city of Landry were immediately awakened from their sleep.
After getting their equipment and putting on their uniforms, they headed straight for the city wall.
But when they arrived, the orc soldiers who were attacking at night had already entered the city.
They ran directly into the oncoming reinforcements.
"Fire!"
Without any hesitation, the revolutionary army officers immediately gave the order to open fire.
After all, there is a saying that goes, it is best to fire at the enemy first. No matter whether you can hit the enemy or not, just shoot first!
Then the revolutionary army really fought...
At first sight, the opposing orc army was stunned.
But the orc army reacted and immediately began to fight back.
Because the revolutionary army responded hastily and many soldiers were not even asleep, the two sides exchanged fire.
The casualties of the revolutionary army rose sharply.
When Urus saw this scene, he became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
Because according to the latest battle report that just came out, at least 20 orc troops have entered the city.
And this number is still increasing, with 20 troops fighting the revolutionary army directly in the city.
For a time, the revolutionary army was unable to expel these 20 troops.
Urus felt the pressure instantly.
If the orc army is allowed to gain a foothold in the city, Bachmut can then send reinforcements to Landry through the orc-controlled area, and eventually directly defeat the rebels.
Perhaps the rebels could gain the upper hand in guerrilla warfare, but in street fighting, the malnourished revolutionary soldiers and the well-fed elite orc soldiers were not at the same starting line at all.
The orc elite soldiers are twice as large as the revolutionary soldiers in terms of size.
It's equivalent to a thin man and a strong man.
How to fight this street fight?
Although he was unable to defeat the orcs, Urus did not give up and encouraged his soldiers to repel the orcs as much as possible.
However, the opposite happened. As the war continued, more and more orc troops poured into the city.
Even though Urus had personally led his troops into battle, he was still unable to repel the orc army before him...
Inside the city.
A young revolutionary soldier is using a Mauser rifle to fight against the orc soldiers opposite him.
The soldier fought from last night until noon today.
The sun is shining brightly now, but the winter sun is not hot but mild.
But just when the soldier thought the battle would continue, the orc army suddenly sounded the retreat horn.
This instantly excited the soldiers.
The enemy retreated!
However, the fact is that the opposing orc army retreated temporarily to give the soldiers time to rest. After the rest, they took down Landry in one fell swoop!
Taking advantage of this gap, the revolutionary soldiers were able to rest.
As soon as the revolutionary soldier sat down, he took out a small notebook and began to write something on it.
A revolutionary soldier who was with the soldier was puzzled, and then glanced at what the revolutionary soldier was writing.
"Mother, sister, you are all right.
Today is the 134th day since I joined the Revolutionary Army. Because the Orc Empire army attacked Landry last night, we responded hastily and for a while, we were unable to drive the Orc army out.
And the war is getting harder and harder. I have a bad feeling that we may lose Landry...
Okay, let’s not talk about military affairs anymore. Sister and mother, are you doing well in that world of yours?
For some reason, I always dream about my sister and mother.
Please rest assured, I will definitely return to our hometown, and I will make that noble lord pay the price!
By the way, I seem to have fallen in love with a girl who is about my age and lives in a village not far from Landry.
Our army was on the march that day, and I happened to see her, her mother, and her sister working in the fields. After the battle, I will go find her!
Although I can feel that Landry is about to be captured by the orcs, we will not give up and we will keep fighting.
I will never betray the revolution, because this is the only armed force left to us, the grassroots people...
May my mother and sister rest in peace in heaven."
Having written this, the soldier suddenly closed the diary and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"Dosim, come and eat quickly. The people across the street should also be eating at this time. We don't have much time!"
The next second, a platoon leader spoke up.
Dosim immediately put the diary in his backpack and came to the platoon leader.
"Dosim, eat more, you still have to fight to the capital!"
The platoon leader said with a smile, and then directly served Dosim a bowl of broth.
Dosim smiled, then picked up the broth with a grateful look on his face.
Although Urus was poor, he was always good to his soldiers.
When conditions permit, we can eat meat every day. When conditions don’t permit, we can only make meat soup and drink it like we do now.
However, the soldiers had no complaints, because everyone could see Urus' fairness and justice.
This is why most of the aspiring young people in the Orc Empire joined Urus' revolutionary army.
Instead of joining the rebels.
Because they knew that the rebels were simply feudal rulers with a new group of leaders.
Few are truly willing to fight for the revolution to the end; they only fight and frame each other for petty gains.
Dosim drank the broth in one gulp and then stood up.
Okay, now it’s time to protect the revolution!
