But Rhine believed that Chen Qianzhi could still kill 7000 people with 10 men and attack the enemy leader directly.

Because he and Duke Carmine had once agreed that neither side had to fight to the death to win, as long as they could capture the opponent's leader first.

So what Rhine wanted was not for Chen Qianzhi to annihilate all 10 enemies, but to capture Carmine alive.

"The last general takes command!"

"But in order to reduce casualties, I will launch a round of artillery fire before you charge to eliminate the opponent's defensive offensive."

If you are poor, you can use tactics to disperse, and if you are rich, you can use firepower to cover the land. Rhine is not without the conditions now, so there is no need to be stingy. If it weren't for the fact that the kingdom still needs people, and the 10 from Carmine could just fill some gaps, Rhine would have wanted to just use artillery shells to wipe out the land.

He can fight modern warfare, so who would want to fight you in hand-to-hand combat?

"My lord, there is one thing I don't know whether I should say it or not." Chen Qianzhi hesitated for a moment, but still brought it up.

"explain."

"In addition to 5 regular troops and 5 noble private soldiers, the other side also has more than 300 Red Dragon Air Force. If we want to minimize casualties, someone must contain the air force."

There was no such thing as an air force in his time, and bows and arrows alone were obviously not enough to cause damage to an air force composed mainly of dragons.

"That's not a problem. I will send air forces to support you. Whether it's the fortifications along the way or the enemy's air forces, I will deal with them for you. All you have to do is charge in and take down the enemy leader as quickly as possible."

"I will finally understand!"

"Then let us toast to General Chen's triumphant return!"

Rhine raised his glass to everyone.

"I wish General Chen a triumphant return."

Everyone raised their glasses as well.

"Okay, now it's time to get down to business."

That’s right, the civil war was just a sideshow, and what I’m going to talk about next is the real business.

"Paul."

"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions."

"I need you and your men to take a transport ship and go to the westernmost island of the continent by sea to hide secretly. Once we go to war with the Kaios Empire, you will be responsible for stabbing them in the back."

"receive."

"Guderian."

"exist."

"After the war begins, I need you to conquer the eastern countries located to the north of the kingdom in the shortest possible time."

"Make sure to complete the mission."

"Leonidas."

"Oh wow, it's finally my turn!"

"If Guderian's offensive is contained, I need you to help him quickly eliminate the resistance points." The most feared thing about blitzkrieg is that the rhythm will be slowed down. If there is a point that cannot be taken down for the time being, then Leonidas can only lead 300 elite soldiers to behead it.

"As ordered!"

"Duke Wellington, you will be responsible for the overall war situation with the Human Declaration Alliance."

"clear."

"What about me?" Huo Qubing asked anxiously. Everyone had a mission except him.

"In order to swallow us, the Principality of Amidonia has sent out all of its troops, which means that their domestic defense is very weak. Therefore, I need you to take advantage of this opportunity to take down the entire Principality of Amidonia. As for the method, you are free to use it."

"The minister obeys the order!"

"Your Majesty, who will deal with the army of the Principality of Amidonia?"

"Of course it's me! I will lead the army in person!"

He specially left himself an opponent to satisfy his desire.

Chapter 338 The War Begins

"At this solemn moment

This is also a life-and-death moment for the Kingdom of Elfriden since its founding.

I bow to every citizen of my Kingdom.

No matter where you are

No matter what your job title is

Spread the message.”

Early the next morning, Rhine's solemn voice rang out throughout the Kingdom of Elfriden.

After hearing the voice on the radio, people came out of their homes and gathered on the street.

The image displayed on the screen receiver was their new King, His Majesty Rhine.

But soon people discovered that unlike the humor and wit His Majesty showed in his last national speech, this time His Majesty was not only wearing a military uniform, but also had a serious look on his face.

Combined with what was said before, everyone realized that something big had happened.

"In order to fulfill the promises I made to you, I have been committed to the reform of the country since I took office. I believe you have seen my actions these days, which are enough to prove that I am not deceiving you."

"But as I said before, the kingdom's reforms are bound to affect the interests of the upper class. They don't want me to change the existing order of the kingdom, and they don't want me to change the current environment of the kingdom."

"For this reason, they even went so far as to use the pretext of clearing the court of evil rulers to try to dethrone me, the king who opposed them."

"Just today, Duke Carmine and Duke Baccas, two of the Three Dukes, launched a coup d'état. Also participating in the coup were a large number of nobles from the Kingdom of Elfriden. The total number of the rebels reached over 100,000."

"Not only that, these rebellious nobles even colluded with foreign forces in order to consolidate their own interests."

"Now, we are not only facing the internal troubles of 100,000 rebels, but also the external threat from our neighboring Principality of Aldominia."

"Just now, I received news from the intelligence department at the border. Our country suffered a premeditated invasion by the Principality of Aldominia."

"Before this, our country was not only at peace with the Principality of Aldominia, but also had established friendly diplomatic cooperation relations with the country."

"But just now, the Kingdom of Algeria did not take into account the feelings and interests of the people of the two countries, ignored the diplomatic cooperation between the two countries, and brazenly launched a large-scale invasion of the Kingdom of Elfriden."

"Faced with the Aldominian army that was several times larger than ours, the soldiers of the kingdom guarding the border fought bravely and never retreated a single step. At the tragic cost of almost annihilation, they repelled the enemy several times, buying a lot of time for the safe transfer of border residents and the arrival of subsequent reinforcements."

"But they have forever fallen in the cause of defending their country. Their names will not be unknown, because they will be engraved on the Heroes Monument and admired by hundreds of millions of people. Their achievements will also last forever, because they will be included in history textbooks and passed down from generation to generation. Their families will also be protected by the kingdom, and we will not let down the hearts of any martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the kingdom."

"Now, let us pay our highest respects to these warriors who have sacrificed their lives to defend the kingdom's territory and protect the kingdom's people."

All——Salute!

"On the other hand, those who joined the rebels not only did not take up their weapons to defend their homes, but even took up their knives and swung them at their own compatriots. If they had not tied up a lot of the kingdom's energy, Aldominia would not have had the courage to invade us, and the tragedy would not have happened."

"I hereby appeal to all soldiers, whether you support me or oppose me, if you still have a conscience, put down your weapons and stop resisting. I will not punish those who surrender voluntarily, because I know you are also helpless. But if you continue to resist stubbornly, in order to end the civil war as soon as possible to meet the foreign enemy, please don't blame me for not showing mercy."

"We are forced into this war, and we must accept this challenge. We do not want war, but we are never afraid of war. It is our duty to defend the glory of the kingdom."

"I, Reinhard, the King of the Kingdom of Elfriden, hereby declare war on the kingdom's rebels! I declare war on the Principality of Aldominia!"

"No matter how long it takes to defeat this premeditated invasion, we will never compromise. The people of the Kingdom have justice, the responsibility and the power to seize complete victory. I pledge that the Kingdom will fully ensure the safety of the people, ensure that no invader will set foot on our homeland, and ensure that we will never be harmed by such treachery again."

"From this moment on, the kingdom will be at war."

"I know some of you are curious about what role you play in this war, what you can do for this war, and what you can do."

"But what I want to say is that you don't have to do anything. Trust the country, and trust me."

"As long as you maintain the status quo, don't panic, don't stop working, don't stop production, don't stop classes, don't close the market, eat well, drink well, and everything remains the same, that will be your greatest contribution to the kingdom."

"That's all for this speech."

.........

After Rhine's speech, the whole country fell into a brief silence, but soon broke out into earth-shaking cheers.

"Your Majesty the Rhine will win! Elfriden will not perish!"

"Your Majesty, please let me join the army!"

"Excuse me, where can I sign up to join the army?"

"Those rebels are not our compatriots at all, they are just a bunch of beasts!"

The whole country was filled with outrage and a strong desire to fight.

Although there is a saying that family members should not be harmed, many radical people still went after the families of the rebels. If the kingdom was defeated, they planned to perform a blood sacrifice on the families of the rebel soldiers.

Since Duke Carmine did not really intend to rebel, he did not dismantle the Jade Sound Orb in his territory, which allowed all the rebels to watch Rhine's speech in its entirety.

This speech not only made the soldiers feel guilty, but also caused great psychological pressure. The morale of the army was shaken before the battle even started.

"Silence! Don't listen to his nonsense! Don't forget how he got the throne! How could the old king abdicate suddenly when he was doing so well? He must have used some means to force the old king to abdicate, and our mission is to help the old king regain the throne!"

"We have more than 100,000 people, and the enemy only has tens of thousands. It's easy to defeat them. As long as we are fast enough, we can fight against the Principality of Aldominia after dealing with the rebels. Then you will be the heroes of Elfriden, because the right of interpretation will only be in the hands of the victor. So if you don't want to be a rebel and be infamous for eternity, you can only be the winner! If we win, we are heroes, and if we lose, we are rebels. But think about it with your simple brains, more than 100,000 people against 40,000 people. I have the advantage. Can we lose? How can we lose?"

In order to stabilize the morale of the troops, the rebels also held a mobilization meeting. Although the standpoint was a bit distorted, it was still effective.

Since we've chosen the wrong side anyway, we can only go down this path until the end.

Just when many people were thinking this way.

A loud noise at the city gate attracted everyone's attention.

"All rocket launchers, pay attention, follow my orders! Fire!"

written request for leave

I'm going to Kyoto for a school trip today. I'm so busy with the manuscripts for my new book that I don't have any manuscripts here, so I have no choice but to postpone it for a few days.

One hundred words, one ...

There are pictures here, which can be viewed after the updated version

Chapter 339: Stairway to Heaven

A rocket launcher is a multiple-launch device that fires rockets. The rockets it launches rely on the thrust of its own engine to fly, and its range is usually around 20-70 kilometers, so it can carry out long-range strikes on enemy positions beyond visual range.

Rocket launchers not only have a fast firing speed, fierce firepower, good surprise, and strong maneuverability, but can also be mounted on a truck and pulled around. They can launch a large number of rockets in a very short period of time. Only a few rocket launchers are needed to fire at the same time to form a powerful fire suppression, which can not only cause physical shock to the enemy, but also cause great shock to the enemy mentally.

As the embodiment of the violent aesthetics in war, all the design logic of rocket launchers is to pursue more violent firepower. Just listening to the sound can cause great deterrence to the enemy.

The reason why Rheinland produces rocket launchers in large quantities instead of other traditional artillery is because rocket launchers are simple, efficient, cheap, strong and durable. Compared with traditional towed barrel artillery, the biggest feature of rocket launchers is their abnormally strong firepower delivery capability.

Following the order from the sergeant, 30 rocket launchers mounted on launch vehicles emitted a deafening "dragon roar".

Why is the sky so gorgeous? Because the rocket's tail flame has set the sky on fire.

The white smoke trails emitted from the tails of the rockets merged together, as if forming a stairway to heaven.

In one minute, 30 60-tube rocket vehicles fired a total of 1800 rockets at Duke Carmine's territory, destroying all fortifications within the range of the artillery fire.

With the organ-like accompaniment, the sky and the earth were dyed red. When the red faded, the land turned into scorched earth.

Amidst the falling stars like meteors, the roar of artillery fire resounded throughout the world, the sky shook and the earth trembled as if it was the end of the world, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the sky and blocked out the sun, as if the world had come to an end at this moment.

In the face of absolute fire suppression, all tactics become empty talk and any shelter becomes a ruin.

During this one minute, the soldiers surrounded by artillery fire experienced what hell on earth was like. Although Rhine specifically instructed that only fortifications such as city walls, bunkers, magic towers, trenches, and chevaux de frise should be bombed, several rockets still fell into the city. After all, rocket launchers are the least accurate of all artillery, and hitting a target depends entirely on faith.

However, rocket launchers do not require accuracy, and the lack of accuracy can be made up for by quantity. Under the coverage of thousands of shells, accuracy is meaningless because they can all be exploded.

The sky was covered with flames, the deafening explosions, the pungent smoke in the air, the earth-shaking gunfire, and the occasional rockets that fell into the crowd, stirring up a bloody mist, and the broken limbs and flesh were blown everywhere. The whole city turned into a living hell in a few seconds. It didn't matter whether they resisted the tyrant or became heroes. At this moment, they just wanted to survive.

After the bombardment ended, the land covered by the artillery fire was shortened by half a meter, and all the trenches along the way were plowed into flat ground. Not to mention fortifications such as watchtowers and magic towers, even the strongest city walls were turned into stones, rubble, and finally sand under thousands of artillery fire.

If Rhine had not ordered not to bombard the city, the entire city would have been reduced to ruins, with hundreds of thousands of people killed by the artillery fire. But despite this, hundreds of people still died in this round of artillery fire, after all, bullets have no eyes.

"All troops! Attack!!!"

After the artillery support, it is the turn of the infantry to clean up the battlefield.

Even though there were hundreds of thousands of people on the opposite side, the soldiers led by Chen Qianzhi did not show any fear. All of them were in good order and fighting spirit.

On the other hand, although the army was demoralized and had no fighting spirit, Duke Carmine did not intend to surrender. He had to do the whole show. The most important thing was to send all the rebellious nobles away.

Soon, Duke Carmine formulated a series of plans to kill people, and arranged for the private soldiers of the rebel nobles to take the lead, on the grounds that they would weaken the kingdom's army.
