Chapter 665 Continuous Forward Artillery Barrage



“That’s easy,” Xiang Yu said with a smile as he charged down the slope. “Wherever you think our enemy is, that’s where our enemy is.”

The two rushed to the foot of the city wall and quickly jumped onto their horses.

"The two generals have finished loading their ammunition and are ready to fire at any time."

Li Yuanba and Xiang Yu nodded.

They gently nudged the horse's belly with their legs.

His warhorse neighed and galloped away.

At the same time, the dozen or so heavy trucks had already rushed out.

Eight trucks followed Xiang Yu, and eight trucks followed Li Yuanba.

“You guys shouldn’t just stand there, start firing when it’s time.”

The people on the truck looked out at the vast expanse of troops outside the city.

The two sides have as many as a million soldiers.

Especially on the side of the Luosha Kingdom, their soldiers number as many as 600,000.

Although these 600,000 soldiers did not have the same imposing presence as Louis XIV's men, they still looked impressive and powerful.

But these 600,000 soldiers were all full of energy and spirit.

After all, these people were fighting outside the walls of St. Petersburg.

...

Sheffield commanded an army of 150,000.

"Young men, we are right next to St. Petersburg, and His Majesty the Tsar is watching us from the city walls."

"In this battle, we must completely crush the enemy and absolutely not let them break into the city."

"The enemy only has a few hundred thousand people. If we can wipe them out, you can take all the gold and silver you want."

This army consists of 500,000 reserve and retired soldiers.

They weren't thinking about anything else.

Instead, they stormed into the Great Xia Dynasty and engaged in burning, killing, and looting.

They all knew that the Great Xia Dynasty was full of gold and silver treasures.

These people believed that once they arrived at the Great Asian Dynasty, they could plunder extensively and make a fortune.

"Sir, if we defeat Louis XIV's forces, we'll be able to get a lot of gold and silver."

"Of course! Her Majesty the Queen will certainly not let you down. You can have as much gold and silver as you want!" Sheffield shouted excitedly.

"Everyone, didn't you all want to go to the Great Xia Dynasty to get gold and silver?"

Everyone nodded.

"After this battle is over, we will be able to go to the Great Xia Dynasty."

"When the time comes, each of you will have to drive at least one carriage. When you return, your carriages will be full of gold."

Sheffield knows how to make empty promises to these people.

Upon hearing this, everyone was extremely excited.

For them, being able to drive a horse-drawn carriage to the pharmacy and then retrieve the gold was a stroke of good fortune they had never experienced in their lives.

"But the prerequisite is that we must completely defeat them."

All the soldiers nodded repeatedly.

“These dwarfs, they dare to act so arrogantly in front of St. Petersburg, we must kill them.”

"Sir, we can't wait any longer, there's no need to wait here any longer."

"I feel like we can rush over there right now."

"Sir, I'm determined to kill four or five of Louis XIV's men in this battle."

Sheffield watched as everyone rubbed their hands together in anticipation, and he nodded in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Louis XIV's 200,000-strong army slowly advanced.

Louis XIV's 200,000-strong army was personally commanded by Duke Joseph.

In addition, there were the Duke of Jacques, the Duke of Jean-Paul, the Marquis of Lafayette...

Everyone gathered together.

Duke Joseph looked across the other side through his binoculars.

"The Rakshasa people are nothing but a bunch of undeveloped barbarians,"

"Their idea of ​​fighting us is simply wishful thinking, a pipe dream."

"The Duke Bonaparte wrote that the opposing commander is Kutuzov."

Joseph laughed when he heard that.

Kutuzov spent some time in France.

The two have a good relationship.

However, this seemingly good relationship only lasted on the surface.

“I know Kutuzov too well; he’s a drunkard.”

"How useful can a drunkard who only talks big be?"

After Duke Joseph finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.

"Infantry advance slowly, artillery follows closely."

"The cavalry looked for opportunities on both flanks."

"Once we find an opportunity, we will act swiftly and decisively. We are determined to crush the confidence of these Russians outside St. Petersburg."

Soon, the stirring beat of drums began.

The infantry advanced slowly.

At the same time, the sound of cannons boomed.

One shell after another was fired forward.

Jiang Tian could see clearly from the city wall that the enemy was firing solid cannonballs.

At that time, the army under Louis XIV of the French Empire had not yet produced Napoleon cannons.

The cannon in Jiang Tian's hands was several levels higher than Napoleon's cannon.

One shot after another, the solid cannon slammed heavily into the ground.

In some places, the soil is quite hard.

After hitting the ground, the shells bounced up and flew away into the distance.

The entire ground was shaking.

Every time the enemy fires a shot.

The Russian soldiers were shocked.

Joseph nodded in satisfaction.

"Sir, I estimate that if we fire a few dozen more shots, these Russian soldiers will wet their pants," Pierre said with a smile.

"Everyone is keeping a close eye on each other's every move."

"We are making steady progress in order to deter them."
