Alien Empire Total War

In the end, Charlie didn't extend his plundering hand to the citizens. Anyway, they all "send" the males of the family to Charlie as cannon fodder. It would be unreasonable for him to rob them of their money, and Charlie was from a famous family. He dared to instruct his subordinates to loot the citizens, and it was not only his reputation that was ruined.

Although he was short of money, he had to be concerned about the consequences and impact of his actions. A nobleman openly looted the capital of the kingdom, and it was not only the robbed civilians who offended, but all the classes in the whole country...

In this way, no matter what you say, it doesn't pay off.

After the militia was beaten back, Charlie did not rush to continue the attack, but ordered someone to bring a map of Ankerton City and began to plan the next attack route.

There is only one main road leading directly into the city from the aristocratic area. Charlie’s position is on this main road. There is a crossroad a section of the road ahead of them. As long as the crossroad is controlled, Charlie will take the initiative. Attacks can be launched in other directions.

However, the rebels obviously would not let him take the intersection easily. The hunters who climbed the roof to check reported to him that the rebels deployed heavy troops there, and the citizens in the surrounding buildings were driven out and replaced with soldiers with rifles. They were stationed inside, and many simple roadblocks were also set up on wide intersections.

Although these simple roadblocks are not as difficult to break through as barricades, they are more than enough to stop the advance of the enemy.

After listening to the report of the hunter, it is certain that in the absence of artillery, Charlie would have to pay huge casualties to take down this intersection. The intersection can be said to be a natural hunting ground for a large number of killing and injuring the attackers. The firepower provided by the enemy infantry stationed in the surrounding buildings can easily kill the soldiers rushing to the intersection, and cooperate with the friendly forces deployed in the front to suppress the enemy in all directions.

Fortunately, machine guns have not yet been invented in this era. Otherwise, the defenders only need to put one or two machine guns here, no matter how many soldiers under Charlie's subordinates are not enough to send them...

Although the infantrymen under Charlie's command maintained high morale and were not afraid of death in battle, this did not mean that they were immortal. There were tragic casualties from the firing of the houses, not to mention the final assault on the buildings controlled by the rebels.

Some people may say that burning all those **** buildings with a fire will not end. Although this idea sounds interesting at first glance, it is full of slots and loopholes in actual implementation. The first thing to be sure is that this era does not have In later generations of flamethrowers and incendiary bombs, the efficiency of lighting houses with torches is not high. In addition, most of the buildings are built of masonry. The most likely thing is that the fire was extinguished by the rebels before it became bigger .

Also, the rebels don't watch Charlie's men set the building on fire, and the soldiers he sends to set it on fire will be shot by the enemy hiding inside before they get close to the building, without giving them a chance to get close, which is the same as directly It's not much simpler than having soldiers attack.

Therefore, it is not feasible to say that the fire attack tactic was directly passed by Charlie before it was proposed. It is better to attack directly.

Looking at the heavily guarded intersection, Charlie was a little discouraged, and he turned his attention to the small alleys on both sides of the street. Ankerton City has many things in common with many cities in this era, one of which is that they all have There are extremely complex alleys leading in all directions, and few people, except the citizens who were born and raised on the streets, know where those alleys will eventually lead.

It is also for this reason that the alleys are not drawn on the city map. Instead, the residential buildings are represented by square boxes, and the alleys are also included.

Generally speaking, these narrow alleys are not used by the army as a marching route, because soldiers who walk in are extremely easy to be ambushed or get lost while walking, and in the end, unnecessary battle damage will occur. Charlie, like other commanders of this era, did not initially see the alley as a route of attack, but continued to advance along the main road as usual.

Now, he thinks he needs to change his mind.

First of all, the strong men he forcibly pulled in this area are very familiar with this urban area, and there is no problem in letting them lead the way from the alley, and maybe they will get unexpected miracles.

The second and most important point is that without the assistance of artillery, he has only this option - let the soldiers bypass the heavily guarded intersection through the alley and go to the rear of the enemy, disguised as the enemy's reinforcements to mix in and wait for When the night comes, cooperate with the main force on the main road to cooperate with Boli~www.readwn.com~ to take down the crossroads and the enemy troops stationed here in one fell swoop.

Considering the complex situation in Ankerton City and the lack of a unified army establishment, his plan is completely feasible, but the only issue to consider is the number of soldiers mixed in, and the risk of exposure will increase if the number increases. The raid may also fail when the number is small and the enemy forces react.

There is no perfect plan in the world, but Charlie sees it very openly. He quickly makes a decision: let the battalion commander of the 2nd Combat Battalion, Jefferson Lawrence, personally lead the team, and lead the remaining half of the battalion and the battalion. A total of 840 people from the four newly recruited militia companies went from the alley to the rear of the enemy. First, they found out the enemy's deployment and found an opportunity to send it back. In the middle of the night, they launched a night attack and took the enemy in one fell swoop.

Let me explain here that apart from the two individuals appointed by Charlie personally, the officers in the infantry regiment are all assigned by the system according to the soldiers' abilities. The two battalion commanders are the most capable of the recruited students. Team, Charlie is very relieved.

Before setting off, the soldiers changed their uniforms into the most common civilian clothes. In order to avoid being seen, some of their weapons were also replaced with captured old-fashioned rifles-wearing ragged trousers And thin shirts, armed with old-fashioned rifles, this is the typical dress of Ankerton's armed citizens. If you throw them into the Santos army and try to find them, it will be as difficult as washing sand in the sea.

Charlie has high hopes for these soldiers in disguise. If they do, he will take the initiative in the next war, and the entire North District will be his world. But if he loses, he will have to retreat to the noble district, or to retreat to Curo Town with the nobles, not to mention the compensation of more than 800 soldiers.
