Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 96

"It's useless, my lord. If we rely on this parapet to resist, the enemy's artillery will bombard our position, and then we will lose half of our soldiers." Tiger felt that Tang Mo's operation was simply showing off. Lower limit of own IQ.

At this moment, he felt that although Tang Mo was really a genius in weapon research and development, he really knew nothing about war.

Recalling that before, Tang Mo was still there teaching everyone what the future war would look like, and he even found it a little funny.

However, his opinion was rejected by the determined Tang Mo: "Listen to me! This may be our only chance!"

"Okay, I'll ask the local villagers to help and build a wall here immediately." Tiger had no choice but to listen to Tang Mo's instructions on such small issues.

He felt that when the battle started, the tense atmosphere and cruel state would make Tang Mo honestly hand over his command.

Tang Mo looked at Redman at the side again, and said, "Very good! Redman! I need you to hurry up this afternoon and train the soldiers again! Even if you let them become more familiar with tactical moves, it will reduce the number of soldiers." our casualties!"

"I'll do my best." Redman felt a little bit sad about going to the examination room.

Then, Tang Mo looked at Loew: "Love! You take 100 people to the designated location to repair the wall immediately, and the rest of the troops, led by Redman and I, set off at night and arrive at Sanchakou at midnight today. Then rest immediately!"

"Yes!" Loew was a little nervous, but without any hesitation, he immediately nodded to Tang Mo in agreement.

……

Pulling out the binoculars in his hand, Tucci, the famous general of Suzas, frowned involuntarily as he looked at the low wall on the roadbed not far away.

"You said, before nightfall last night, there was no such low wall here?" He looked at a knight beside him and asked.

The knight nodded and replied: "Yes, sir! I personally led people to investigate here yesterday, and I haven't seen this low wall before."

"This shows that someone built this fortification overnight...the army from North Ridge should have been stationed on the other side of the road." Tucci said with some displeasure.

"General, we should launch an attack!" The adjutant rode a horse, stopped beside Tucci, and suggested.

"This is not a good choice! We just arrived here, and the troops haven't had time to rest. In addition...we don't have exact information, and we don't know how many enemy troops are on the opposite side." Tucci shook his head slightly, he didn't want to fight anything like this The confused battle of not knowing.

He really wanted to know how his stupid Viscount Rommel wasted two full days here.

"Why didn't you set up camp at this intersection? Hmm? Why didn't you send troops to seize this village first? Hmm?" Tucci looked at Viscount Rommel beside him and asked depressedly.

"General, Your Excellency General...I, I..." Viscount Rommel did not dare to tell his immediate superior that he had ordered to slow down the speed of the march because the rapid march was too hard, and he only arrived here yesterday afternoon.And because of preference, the camp was chosen in a shady place by the edge of the woods, and the troops were not stationed near the three-way intersection.

Therefore, he hesitated and hawed, and finally did not say why.But Tucci on the side was already impatient, and waved his hand, making the idiot shut his mouth tightly.

"General, there won't be a particularly large Northridge army stationed here." The knight who had scouted here explained: "Information shows that Fishero's men only have 1500 people, and the Northridge Army is very elite, much stronger than ours." Any legion in the army must be good at fighting... However, Fishelo is arrogant and arrogant, and he hasn't expanded his army to prepare for war for so long, so he only has so many troops!"

"1500 people? A legion?" Tucci retracted the telescope, inserted it into the leather tube next to the saddle, and pulled the rein with both hands, as if thinking.

"So, even if he can deploy an army here, there are only a few hundred at most, which is already the limit he can deploy." The knight continued to speak after seeing that his general remained silent.

"So!" He pointed to the three forks in the distance, and justified Viscount Rommel's incompetence: "This kind of behavior of blocking the road with hundreds of people and trying to prevent our army from going north and east to the two troops, Basically, it is no different from sending to death..."

"Yes! Yes! That's why I didn't, I didn't care! There are too few of them! I, my troops, can take it there with one charge!" Viscount Rommel looked at the knight gratefully, and then spoke immediately Answer the words.

"I came here to win the war for the kingdom, not to listen to explanations." Tucci finally said: "Since you said that you can occupy this place with a single charge, then I will give you a chance! Let your people attack!"

"Yes... yes! I assure you! I will take down the village soon!" Viscount Rommel immediately took the order, and heaved a sigh of relief, feeling that he was the scapegoat for delaying the military situation, so he was thrown out.

As long as he can capture the Shanchakou, all the previous omissions will be nothing.And he was almost certain that the Northridge army near Sanchakou would not exceed 300 people!

With an army of 1500 men attacking a position where 300 men are stationed, it is obvious that I have the advantage!Viscount Rommel thought bitterly, and rode his horse back to the front of the phalanx of his troops.

"General Tucci's order! Let our army attack immediately!" He reined in his horse, looked at the commanders of the 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion who were coming, and pointed to the position ahead: "Take That intersection!"

"Leave it to me!" An officer nodded slightly, and then ran towards his phalanx.His horse passed in front of the phalanx of his troops, and the soldiers waiting with their weapons on their shoulders quietly waited for orders.

"1st Battalion! Raise the battle flag! Beat the drums and march in! The battalion's artillery aimed at the damn low wall over there, and fired at me!" The commander drew out his saber and pointed in the direction of the mountain fork.

The military band began to beat the war drums, and the compact drumbeats began to sound. The soldiers took a step forward and slowly advanced in the field with one deep foot and one shallow foot.

"Boom!" The battalion's artillery spewed out white smoke, and the shells flew towards the roadbed, hitting the not-so-solid soil, splashing a column of smoke that soared into the sky.

A shell hit the improvised low wall, leaving a hole in it - because the low wall was so thin, the shell didn't even hit the low wall which was about 600 meters long.

Due to calibration problems, the first round of shelling either flew over the low wall or hit the roadbed and fields. It looked loose and had no deterrent effect.

Afterwards, Susas's artillery started the second round of firing. This time, the accuracy was much better. Most of the shells hit the roadbed, and the dust flew up for a while, which was really spectacular.

It's a pity that the other side was still terribly quiet. He neither fired to embolden himself, nor fired back in a serious manner.

Tucci, who was standing aside, looked at the battle situation, and everything in front of him seemed to be the same as his subordinates described—the enemy army had no decent resistance at all, so this place seemed important, but it was a dead place at all.

If the enemy's army really lined up near the village, they would only be flanked by five times as many troops, and eventually they would collapse and be wiped out.

But Tucci still couldn't figure it out. Since the opponent didn't have the strength to fight a battle here, what was the reason for building a low wall here overnight?Just want to express your determination to resist, or try to deter intruders?
As he thought silently in his heart, a rectangular array of soldiers belonging to Viscount Rommel in front of him, encouraged by the drums, began to climb up the roadbed under the low wall.

No gunshots were heard, only the not-intensive artillery echoed on the battlefield.Even the smell of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield that Tucci was used to was not strong at this moment.

It seems that I am overthinking.Tucci thought to himself.He knew that Fischero was a powerful general, but he didn't expect that the other party was just a fool with a vain reputation.

Knowing that resistance is futile, the outcome of this war has long been decided on Cyric's wine table, and this Fischero actually wants to turn the entire battle situation around by himself...

Commander Susas, who was riding a tall horse, carried his saber upright on his shoulders, let the horse pace, followed his soldiers' flanks, and approached the embankment of the road step by step.

As expected, the picture of the enemy sticking out of the low wall and firing did not appear. Of course, he didn't know that there was such a damn word as backslope in this world.

He didn't know that even in the era of great weapon development in the [-]th century, in the face of the superior firepower of the enemy, the reverse slope is still the first defense of the inferior side, and it is still a shameless tactic that makes the attacker a headache.

Therefore, although the voices on the battlefield were noisy, there was not a single gunshot.It seems that on the other side of the low wall, there is no one soldier from Beiling.

Nervous all the way, he finally reached the bottom of the embankment without bloodshed.He felt that Lady Luck was on his shoulders, and that the credit for this time must belong to him and his battalion.

So, the commander of Susas got off his horse, raised his command knife, and shouted loudly: "Cross over here! Long live Susas!"

"Long live Susas! Long live the king! Long live Susas!" After encountering no imaginary resistance, these Susas soldiers were also extremely excited.They scrambled to be the first to carry their weapons and rushed towards the low wall that didn't look strong.

When the first Susas soldier climbed to the top of the low wall, he still did not see an enemy. He jumped off the top of the wall excitedly, stepped on the soil next to the soft roadbed, and stepped on the road that was not counted. Flat dirt road.
