The Revolutionary Era in One Piece

In the days that followed, the Norse army attacked for another three days. As before, the attack was very weak. In this way, in three days, the German army only lost three artillery positions, and they were voluntarily abandoned by the mercenaries stationed there.

Because of this reason, the pirates and mercenaries stationed at the artillery positions did not cause heavy casualties, and many artillery positions in the front city area were still manned by them.

But the pirates made another suggestion, requiring them to withdraw some of their troops for rest after being stationed there for many days. Garen agreed and sent some people to take over the defense.

In this way, after three days, the defending army became a little slack. At this time, Darius was ready for the next step and decided to take the opportunity to launch an attack.

At night, Limestone was leading his team to camp at the baggage area.

Although Garen sent another part of the army to replace the pirates defending the fort, the troops led by Limestone were still able to continue to rest, after all, they were the troops that had experienced the bloody battle on the first day.

However, Galen did not leave them idle, but sent them to guard the supplies.

Originally, the soldiers of Limestone Team thought that this was just a quiet night like any other, but unfortunately, at this moment, an accident happened!

Just after Limestone arranged the night watch, he was supposed to rest, but he became excited at the thought of returning home after the war was over.

It can be said that the entire team has been caught up in this atmosphere recently. Even the soldiers from other teams who learned about this were like this. Limestone, who was so excited that he couldn't sleep, decided to personally inspect the night patrol.

Limestone, who was alone, soon met the patrolmen on night watch. When Limestone passed by, they were talking about what they were going to do after leaving the army.

Hearing this, Limestone was also moved and went up to talk. Soon, everyone who had the same wish started chatting happily. After the chat, Limestone asked everyone to patrol well and he planned to go back to sleep.

At this moment, shouts suddenly came from the camp not far from the Limestone Squad. The noise grew louder and louder, and even the sounds of guns and artillery were heard.

Seeing that something was wrong, Limestone immediately ordered the patrolling soldiers to wake up the other members of the team, and he immediately took people to sound the alarm in the camp.

In order to facilitate the transportation of supplies and just in case, the supplies were not stored separately in a camp.

Instead, at Galen's request, the logistical supplies were stationed on the traffic road leading from the back city to the front city, and dozens of camps were stationed, and several artillery positions were set up to control the entire company.

Under normal circumstances, no matter which road in the front city area the position is threatened, the company and battalion can quickly deploy supplies and troops to provide support along the road.

Even if the front city area was defeated and lost, the artillery batteries of the company camp could effectively cut off the enemy's front line and lay a solid foundation for the defense of the rear city area.

Unfortunately, a situation that had not been anticipated beforehand occurred. The enemy actually crossed the positions in the front city area and directly attacked the company camp.

If the enemy occupied the artillery positions in the company camp, the loss of supplies would be secondary. The connection between the front and rear city areas would even be directly cut off, and the enemy would have a solid bridgehead after the attack.

At this moment, this extreme situation occurred. Fortunately, some soldiers did not sleep that day and interrupted the night attack of the attackers at almost the last minute, otherwise, the situation on the battlefield would have been really difficult to stop.

It turned out that after the first day of the attack, Darius realized that he could not continue the attack. Just when Darius was worried, the opportunity for war came in an unexpected way.

After the Deya Kingdom army that was originally guarding the position suffered heavy casualties, Garen decided to let the mercenaries and pirates hold on for a day.

This matter was met with strong protests from them, but unfortunately under Garen's strong oppression, they had no choice but to obey orders. However, there are always some people who are not law-abiding.

The great pirate Gangplank with a bounty of 12 million was originally the most powerful pirate group employed by the Kingdom of Deya.

As a pirate, he originally did not want to accept orders from others and had made up his mind to run away immediately once the war broke out.

Unfortunately, this war was beyond his expectations. Both sides had strict commanders. The pirate group of hundreds of people led by him was subject to strict constraints from the beginning of the war. As expected, they were forced to join the brutal battlefield in the end.

To be honest, the fierce battle on the first day really scared the pirates, and Planck himself was extremely reluctant to go to the front line to fight against the powerful army of the Kingdom of Norse.

So, after entering the position, Planck immediately sent people to contact the Norse Kingdom army. He was not willing to kill all his men for a little commission.

Just as Darius was racking his brains for a strategy to defeat the enemy, the messenger sent by Planck arrived at the tent of the commander-in-chief of the Norse army.

The pirates sent by Planck hope to contact the army of the Kingdom of Norse to not attack the position where he is stationed. If a fight is necessary, the pirates can cooperate with the army of the Kingdom of Norse and take the position directly without losing a single soldier.

But Darius did not agree directly. At this time, he was already thinking about how to use the profit-seeking pirates to win the war.

So he told Planck and others that the offensive would be suspended the next day and asked them to keep in touch at any time.

The front line remained in the same situation as in the past few days. The Norse army did not launch any more strong attacks, and Darius finally finalized the plan with Planck.

That is, through the pirates' base, they directly launched a surprise attack on the material center connecting the front city and the back city. Of course, this information was also sold to the North Kingdom army by the pirates.

The next few days were also spent preparing for this plan. Darius established relationships with other mercenaries through Gangplank and bribed them with large sums of money to open up their bases to allow the Norse army to launch a direct surprise attack. This also happened to be in line with their idea of ​​not wanting to fight head-on and wanted to preserve their strength.

Originally, they could have directly defected, but the result of such a battle would only be to occupy a part of the front city area, and it would not cause a big blow to the defenders of the Kingdom of Deya. If the huge amount of money spent on bribery was also taken into account, it could even be said to be a loss-making deal.

Therefore, Darius formulated a plan to launch a surprise attack on the material center and cut off the supply, because this plan could cause a more fatal blow, and if everything went well, it could even end the war directly.

Since then, Darius has been preparing for the raid.

He first bribed the mercenaries and had them transfer the bribed troops from the front-line artillery to positions later in the name of rest, thereby constructing a passage controlled by his own side that could allow his own troops to pass through.

However, Garen was not without precautions. He had long been wary of mercenaries and pirates, and ordered the Deya army to be cautious in the positions garrisoned by them if anyone from either side wanted to pass through.

At the same time, some key artillery positions on the roads were also firmly guarded by our troops.

In order to pass the transportation hub, the army of the Kingdom of Norse also racked their brains, and finally a small leader under the Gangplank Pirates came up with his own idea.

A small leader named Tucci came up with his own solution. Before becoming pirates, the Tucci family's job was to dredge the sewers in the city of Zaun.

Although Twitch became a pirate later, he still remembered the sewer nodes of this city, so his method was to bypass those difficult-to-pass strongholds through the sewers and directly raid the rear.

However, this method is not safe. The defenders of the Kingdom of Deya had previously considered the possibility that the enemy would use the sewers to attack the city, so before defending the city, they blocked all the sewers in the city.

However, Darius had no other choice. If he wanted to achieve victory as quickly as possible, this was the most feasible option.

Otherwise, if we attack one by one, even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory.

In that case, even if the war is over, the Kingdom of Deya will still have soldiers to recruit, while the Kingdom of North will have reached its limit.

For the Kingdom of Norse, if victory requires huge losses, Darius would rather withdraw his troops and look for opportunities than fight to the death here.

In this way, the plan was decided, and at several key points, the Kingdom of North sent personnel to clear the sewers below.

In the following days, Draven led his soldiers to launch a feint attack in the city during the day, while at night Tucci, who was familiar with the sewers, led the army to clear the blocked sewers overnight.

Finally, after a few days, the sewers under those important strongholds were finally cleared, and the army was ready for the assault at any time.

Before the attack, Darius reiterated the key points of the operation to Draven, who led the assault force. This raid was mainly a surprise attack and a quick attack, with the goal of capturing the artillery positions connected to the front and rear city areas.

As long as the artillery position can be successfully captured, the front city area will be within easy reach, and the rear city area will also have a solid forward base.

However, Draven also heard another meaning. This raid could be said to be the key to the success or failure of the army, so if the raid failed, Darius would not risk huge casualties and continue to attack Zu'an.

So Draven prayed silently in his heart, hoping that the operation would go smoothly, catch the enemy by surprise, and win the final victory.

At night, Draven led the assault soldiers and followed Twitch towards the target. These soldiers were selected elites, totaling 1,500 people.

If the plan goes well, each fort can be garrisoned by several hundred men. And in order to ensure the realization of the plan, when the war starts, the Norse Kingdom army will send soldiers, mercenaries and pirates who have defected to harass the positions of the Deya army in the front city to prevent them from providing support from behind.

At night, everything went according to plan. However, what Draven didn't expect was that there were a group of people missing their hometown and couldn't sleep that night.

As a result, the surprise attack turned into an encounter, and a tiny variable changed the situation on the entire battlefield.

The armies of both sides fought fiercely in the dark night with their own beliefs.

However, although the plan was ruined, the Norse army led by Draven still had the upper hand. In a short period of time, the defenders of the Deya army were unable to gather a large-scale force to counterattack.

At this time, it seemed that the plan was about to succeed and the army of the Kingdom of Norse was about to win a great victory. The army of the Kingdom of Deya seemed to have no choice but to pray for the help of the gods and send out the army of the gods to save the situation on the battlefield.
