Alien Empire Total War

Chapter 136: Siege of Coron Fortress (middle)

, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the total war of the alien empire!

The countermeasures of the Lumeng artillery suppressed the arrogance of the Greek hunters for a while, allowing their own line of infantry to advance smoothly to a distance of 180 meters. Although this distance had already entered the range of the Greek infantry, but The casualties that the bullets they fired could bring to the Rumont infantry could be described as negligible.

As a result, the Greek soldiers did not rush to fire. They stood in formation behind the city walls and gaps, waiting for the enemy to approach and then fired "turn-based" shooting, but to their surprise, the opposite Lu The Mongolian infantry stopped after reaching a distance of about 180 meters, lined up on the spot, checked their firearms, and seemed to be standing there to shoot at them.

Seeing this scene, some veteran soldiers in the Greek army line burst into laughter. They looked at the enemy on the opposite side with contempt and sneered: "Are the Lumeng people going to hit us from such a long distance? The beggars on the side all know that it is impossible to hit the target accurately at such a long distance, and they will only waste ammunition by doing so.”

But the next second, they couldn't laugh.

I saw that the Lumen soldiers on the opposite side raised their guns one after another and fired the first salvo towards the Greek army line lined up behind the gap. The soldiers in the front row fell the second after the gunshots sounded, and the blood flowers bloomed on their chests!

They actually shot and killed a large number of enemies from a distance of 150 meters!

The soldiers in the front row of the Greek Army, who were lucky to survive, looked at the fallen comrades around them in shock, and the white gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated in front of them. They instantly had a guess in their hearts-the ability to hit such a good result at such a long distance. , the only explanation is that the firearms used by the enemy are rifled guns that are difficult to reload!

The Greek army officers also thought of this. They looked at the smoke that had not yet completely dissipated, and knew that they could not stand here passively and be beaten, so they decided to take the initiative to attack, relying on the faster reloading speed and the enemy to shoot at close range - with rifled Judging from the cumbersome reloading speed of the gun, when they advance to a distance of fifty meters, they will only receive one more salvo at most!

"Hildi people, go forward!"

"For the king, go forward!"

Thinking of this, the officers ordered to take the initiative to attack, and the Greek army line behind the gap moved accordingly. They walked over the corpses of their comrades in the front row and walked out of the gap. However, at this moment, the smoke that had not completely dissipated ahead Another round of gunfire rang out, and the advancing Greek army line collapsed again as if being concentrated by invisible fists in the air.

The Greek soldiers who received the second salvo fell into a brief turmoil, but they quickly rearranged their formations with high discipline and continued to advance with the encouragement of the officers, but the ensuing third round of shooting again Inflicted a lot of damage to them, and the originally orderly line was chaotic.

"Stabilize the formation! Don't be afraid!"

The battalion commanders raised their swords high and encouraged the soldiers around them loudly: "Think of your wives, children and family members in the rear! Think of your glory as soldiers of the Second Division!"

Xu is because a certain keyword was mentioned, the chaotic line gradually recovered, and the soldiers gathered again under the command of the officers to regroup and continue to march forward-all officers knew that this was the limit of the soldiers, if they After another round of salvo, it was impossible to restore the morale of the soldiers no matter what.

But fortunately, the enemy cannot shoot a new round of shooting. They were able to shoot three salvos all at once only by using platoon firing tactics. Now that all three platoons have been fired, with the poor reloading speed of the rifled gun, As long as they get up to speed, they'll be able to get in and shoot before the first platoon of soldiers is reloaded!

They thought so, but what people are most afraid of is the most likely to appear. They have just regrouped the team for only a few seconds, and there was another round of gunshots in front of them that made them all feel frightened!

clap clap-

Another volley!

The reorganized Greek army line was once again broken up, and this time, the morale of the Greek soldiers was completely plunged into the abyss. In the end, the officers had no choice but to retreat to the gap with the routed soldiers.

It would be great if the Rumont soldiers could stand in the distance with rifled guns and shoot the Greek army behind the gap until the opponent was defeated, but the Hildi people will not give them this opportunity, the howitzers deployed inside the fortress Constantly shooting at the Rumont infantry outside the city, the latter had to keep moving forward to avoid the blooming bullets falling from the sky.

The follow-up attack was not easy. Even if the soldiers of the Lu army had rifled guns and mini bombs, they were still unable to break into the key defense gap of the Greek army. Return to the siege camp.

Today's tentative attack is not to take the Coron Fortress in one fell swoop, but to test the firepower and resistance will of the defenders in the city. What is certain is that in addition to the fortress artillery that was destroyed by concentrated fire, the defenders also had four howitzers of unknown poundage.

For the gaps that the defenders focus on defending, the top leaders of the divisions have already had an idea. They are going to assemble the grenadiers of each battalion to form a temporary battle sequence, let them serve as the vanguard, and use the grenades they carry to blow up the gaps. The defenders behind, then quickly fired three rounds of salvos and launched a charge.

Although the grenades used by the grenadiers are not as good as the individual grenades of hundreds of years later, the power generated by dozens or hundreds of them blasting behind a narrow gap at the same time is still very impressive. Moreover, the grenades thrown by the grenadiers are not small, and hitting people's heads directly can also bring different physical effects.

In just one night, the senior management of each division worked out a plan for how to break into the gap. On the second day, they gathered all the grenadiers of the division and attacked the division under the cover of friendly artillery. Lun fortress launched an attack.

The artillery firepower of the Coron Fortress on the second day was obviously much weaker than that of the previous day. In order to prevent the remaining artillery from being destroyed by the enemy, the defenders tried to reduce the number of artillery fires as much as possible, and the four howitzers became today’s starring—however The grenadiers in charge of the main attack also learned the lesson of yesterday, and they deliberately spread the distance of a company when attacking, thereby reducing the possibility of being hit.

However, they soon encountered a new difficulty.

After experiencing yesterday's lesson, the Greek army pushed the sealed infantry artillery directly behind the gap, and could directly bombard the enemy troops equipped with rifled guns - although they did not know why the reloading speed of the rifled guns of the Rumen people would be so high. So fast, but this does not prevent them from coming up with corresponding solutions.

Therefore, if the grenadiers want to get close to the gap, they must withstand the shelling from the front!
