Alien Empire Total War

"Damn it, it's a howitzer!"

Looking at the artillery shell exploding in the air, the rebel commander behind instantly recognized that it was a blooming shell used by a howitzer. Their expressions fused, but they did not expect that the enemy army at war would be equipped with a howitzer, which is rarely promoted. of artillery.

However, their faces soon stretched out again. Although the explosive shell used by the howitzer is more powerful than the solid shell, its performance is extremely unstable. The bombs caused casualties to their subordinates, and some of them exploded after they landed. As long as the soldiers could stamp out the lead of the blooming bomb before it exploded, the blooming bomb was equivalent to a large solid shell.

The two brigade commanders were relieved, but the soldiers below were not calm. They looked at the comrades who were killed and injured by the blooming bombs, and they only felt a chill coming from behind. The dense shrapnel wounds can't die for a while, it is really painful.

No one wants to follow in the footsteps of those unfortunate comrades in arms. These timid soldiers have slowed down their progress. Some people still look back from time to time, trying to find opportunities to escape, but the officers among them have long been. Staring at them, or shouting to encourage them to keep going, or threatening to kill them on the spot if they dared to take a step back.

There was no other way, they could only bite the bullet and move on. However, some of the active soldiers have already started to figure out a way out. After all, there are very few people who died under the cannonball. After a while, the shooting is the main course. They just made up their minds. , lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, and then get up after the battle is over.

On the other hand, Charlie frowned at the record of the howitzer after the first round of shooting. Although he was mentally prepared for the poor performance of the howitzer in this era, after seeing the poor performance of the howitzer, he only felt that he was still too naive. , but at the same time he also has a special way to deal with it.

There is no doubt that with the high failure rate of the howitzer shells, a small amount of artillery salvo cannot show the powerful power of the howitzer. If Charlie is going to reuse the howitzer, he must at least create a group of howitzers - since your quality No, then I'll make up for it with quantity.

But the question is, is it really worth it?

Charlie didn't know, all he knew was that the system had rewarded him with three artillery units before he occupied the territory, so he just told him to focus on artillery and become the **** of war in this world. Since the system gave him this hint, he didn't mind trying, anyway, he still had a huge sum of more than 200,000 gold coins in his hand, giving him the capital to try.

Hmm... Although the system has strict requirements for recruiting infantry, it has almost no restrictions on artillery. Even if he is currently at war with the rebels, he can directly recruit artillery units from the system.

So Charlie made a quick decision.

……

bang bang bang-

why?

Why did the enemy's firepower suddenly become so fierce? !

The brigade commander of the 3rd Brigade of the Second Division of the Rebel Army, who was almost knocked off his horse by the violent explosion, looked at the battlefield in front of him with horror. In the midst of the bursts of fire, some unlucky soldiers were directly blown away by flowering bombs, their bodies were also blown apart, and their intestines and organs were flying all over the sky, just like purgatory on earth!

slap-

Just as he was stunned, a piece of guts that had been blown up fell from the sky and hit him on the shoulder. It was only then that he finally reacted, and his empty eyes regained focus.

"Retreat! Retreat! Sound the retreat horn!"

He ordered to the surrounding guards, and he suddenly understood, where is the army in front of him, the recruits who just finished training according to the information! How could the Ankerton government possibly equip a recruit unit with so many howitzers? !

He had to report this information, and he couldn't get all his subordinates in!

After giving the order, he looked in the direction of the friendly commander not far away. The brigade commander of the 3rd Division had already evacuated back with his subordinates. The battlefield was full of rebel soldiers who had been demolished by the bombing. Go, all faces were filled with fear. Behind them, the enemy infantry holding the blue-yellow meet flags had already left their positions and pursued them.

He looked at a forest on the other side of the battlefield, where Payne and his cavalry brigade were ambushed. They had planned to let the hussars join the battlefield from the flank after the two armies fought and charge the flank of the enemy infantry, in one fell swoop. The enemy troops in front of them were smashed, but I didn't expect ~www.readwn.com~ They were bombed by the sudden increase of enemy artillery before the battle, and they were directly defeated!

And now, he looked at the enemy infantry who were gradually breaking out of the formation in order to chase the routed soldiers, and a crazy idea ignited in his heart - if Payne and his cavalry joined the battlefield at this time, would they be able to turn the tide of the battle?

Just when such a crazy idea rose in his heart, several dazzling sparks lit up again on the opposite mountainside, followed by bursts of roars like thunder in the daytime, and the enemy's howitzers seemed to want no money. These rout soldiers smashed bullets on their heads, making the already chaotic escape scene even more chaotic, and even the brigade commander himself was wrapped in the rout soldiers and fled backwards.

The picture of the cavalry rushing out of the forest that he hoped to see did not appear. Payne also knew that it was meaningless to join the battlefield at this time, so he evacuated directly from the other side of the forest.

……

"It's still a good howitzer cluster."

Charlie, who was still on the mountainside, rubbed his buzzing ears. Looking at the potholes and the large number of corpses left by the enemy on the battlefield, he couldn't help expressing his emotion.

More than ten minutes ago, after he finally made up his mind to create a howitzer cluster, he spent more than 5,000 gold coins from the system to recruit five howitzer teams with a total of twenty artillery pieces. After the twenty artillery pieces were recruited The mountainside, which was not very large, was completely occupied directly. Fortunately, the guards around the mountainside were composed of companies of system soldiers. Otherwise, the indigenous soldiers would have been scared half to death.

In addition to the original eight, a full twenty-eight howitzers directly blew up the marching rebel infantry after several rounds of salvos, which made Charlie feel the joy of krypton gold for the first time - in the words of Li Yunlong Said that he had never fought such an abundant battle in his eight lifetimes!
