Beautiful Another World Red Tide

"I don't mind, after all, you are our leader here, our King of the Mountain."

Battalion Commander Sherman made a witty remark, everyone laughed in unison, sat down at the table again, and made the magic lamp brighter. Battalion Commander Sherman and Okedo were waiting for each other to speak first, But staring at each other, neither of them spoke for a long time, and finally Okedo laughed. When he smiled, Sherman also laughed, and both of them were amused by the action just now.

"Let's talk about your battle plan first, Colonel Sherman. I can only tell my plan based on your battle plan." Okdo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and distributed them.

"You don't smoke?" Migucci asked Okto curiously after taking the cigarette.

"I seldom smoked before. Not long ago, Wang Cheng wrote a letter saying that my wife gave birth to a fat boy. I can't make the child feel uncomfortable with the smell of cigarettes." Okedo said with a smile.

"Will I be his godfather!" Pene immediately raised his hand, followed by Mikoki's request.

"How old are you two? You haven't even married yet. For a young man in his twenties, let's talk about getting married first." Okedo reached out and patted Migaucci's head and said.

"Uncle will tell you one in the future, I know a lot of girls, there must be one suitable for you." Major Rebio said with a pipe in his mouth and laughed.

"This guy used to be a well-known socialite. Even our third army has heard of it. Maybe the one he recommended to you is actually his daughter." Colonel Sherman laughed and said with a cigarette .

"Back to the topic, let me talk about our battle plan first." Battalion Commander Sherman got up again and took the signal stick from the commuter and said to everyone.

"Now, our department is investigating that 1000 enemy troops are crossing from the guerrilla zone and heading towards our control area. According to the analysis of our headquarters, the enemy army should be more than [-], at least [-]. Therefore, our army has made the following decision .”

"There are 220 light cavalry in total. The ranger department will try its best to find the location of the enemy's main force in the past few days, lure the enemy's cavalry to attack, and complete the annihilation of the enemy's cavalry through repeated encircling and luring the enemy. Or, the enemy's cavalry is slow If they are not chasing, they will repeatedly attack the enemy's main force, delaying the opponent's marching speed and morale." Battalion Commander Sherman pushed the two cavalry on the map with a signal stick and said.

"It's feasible. Our army is equipped with a large number of magic arrows and enchanted bows. Whether it is direct use of rockets or magic arrows, it can cause casualties to the enemy." Okedo nodded in agreement.

"Our army's new weapon, the "Molotov", will probably be shipped along with the magic cannon, and then this kind of range weapon can also be used with the cavalry." Okdo continued.

"That would be great." Sherman nodded in agreement.

"Our army's armored infantry, light infantry, and archers are waiting for the opportunity to carry out ambush operations and attack the enemy in the form of encounters. I observed the nearby terrain in detail and can ambush in the nearby hills and mountains."

"If it is possible and the combat method is good enough, our army can defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and complete the goal of winning the first battle." Battalion Commander Sherman dropped his stick on a hilly area and signaled.

"I have an idea. Why don't you take the initiative to lure the enemy into our garrison, which is here. Our terrain is very good, very suitable for closing doors and beating dogs." Okedo suggested.

"If you don't mind, of course you can. The slope here is high enough, suitable for archers to shoot. We can launch an offensive when the enemy is halfway in, and then set up a large trap to ambush another exit. It can complete the strategic goal."

"Okay, we expect to move the headquarters in seven days and go to the nearby town of Luo Pei to formally establish the interim government regime. Here, let him use his residual heat to add fire to our future." Okdo Finally decided to.

"Aren't you a little too anxious? Will this not arouse the other party's fear?" Pene, an officer with a rather melancholy expression, who looked like a melancholy boy, asked.

"Don't worry, after this fierce counterattack, they won't attack us again." Sherman and Okdo replied in unison.

"Why?" Penny continued to ask.

"Because the noble army disagrees." Okdo pondered for a moment, then put his hands on his arms to support him and replied.

"This time the army's conquest was probably the result of necessity. In addition, we decided to attack without knowing the strength of our army. After waiting for 1000 people to be quickly wiped out, no one in the noble army dared to shout to fight over. They probably It’s time to take a passive approach.”

"Aren't you going to add your request?" Sherman looked at Okedo.

"There are indeed some needs for me, Colonel Sherman, I hope to evacuate the peasants as much as possible to reduce casualties when finding out the direction of the enemy's march. In addition, our army urgently needs to cheer up the peasants who trust our guerrilla troops in the guerrilla zone Spirit, establish that in the near future, you can choose to raid some nobles in the guerrilla zone to further boost morale." Okdo said.

"This can be done, and it won't affect our army's combat objectives. Let's do it with Migaucci." Major Rebio nodded and took over the task.

"Report, the two officers, Shargo and Ferraki, are back."

Another messenger ran back and said.

"It seems that they have gained a lot. I really envy them. They are in charge of the cavalry." Mi Gaoqi said to himself enviously.

95 Beat him out of the body

The common people live by their labor, and the nobles live by their status.

—— Schiller

The nobles do have the so-called chivalry spirit in many cases, but this spirit is rarely displayed to the lower classes.

Torture is impossible, but it is not too difficult to obtain information. Those light infantry naturally know where this army is stationed. It is not difficult to guess the direction of the opponent. The armor was stripped off and thrown into the guard office. These guys can't eat dry food. Although they won't be abused, they can't escape with normal physical labor.

The Knight Commander naturally expressed a severe protest against this matter. He believed that he should not do manual labor like those captured light infantry, at least he should not be responsible for moving stones. Migucci and Sherman listened to him seriously. opinion, and then asked him to be responsible for moving the timber.

The battle plan was quickly finalized, and the provisional government of the southern region was formally established in Luopei Town, and all government offices were moved to this big town. Although it is said that there are still relatively few literate people to work in the government, according to Sun Boyang's Reply, it is expected that some more literate scholars will be sent to help manage the government when the next supply arrives. Okdo feels a little worried about this. He doesn't know whether it is good or bad to let those scholars with simple ideas work, but come now He said that as long as ideas are popularized and more people understand new ideas in the future, the government will always be able to develop well.

Fortunately, scholars in Yongdalim generally don't have any bureaucratic thinking. As long as they are vaccinated in advance, there should be no major troubles.

A school funded by the Central Province has also sprung up in this town. It is mainly responsible for teaching the knowledge and ideas of government cadres and village leaders, and also helping them popularize some useful knowledge. The teaching materials are easy to understand, or It’s very simple, after all, it’s just the beginning, and Sun Boyang wrote it clearly. Let’s try to teach the basics first. After all, there are few people, so it’s more important to expand first. The establishment of the government is accompanied by a complete change of the control area. , most of the land of the nobles was confiscated and distributed to the peasants free of charge. Many villages gradually began to prepare to choose the future according to the wishes of the peasants. People in the guerrilla areas were more and more looking forward to it. The guerrillas are fighters. As for many farmers in the noble-occupied areas, although they don’t say anything, they hope that many people are even willing to take the risk of being caught and beheaded through the occupied areas and guerrilla areas. Guerrilla controlled area.Both the guerrillas and the control area are thriving, and the guerrillas are waiting in silence, preparing to fight the enemy's army.

At the end of March, the continuous offensive of the rangers caused continuous casualties to this noble army of 800 people. This time, they were also knights or other prominent people. These people basically learned to hold a gun with one hand, not because of anything else, simply because they are nobles. It is impossible for them to practice riding and shooting every day like the Yongdalim regular army. It is also impossible to learn the cavalry array as hard as the regular army. The gap between regular and irregular is vividly displayed at this moment. These noble gentlemen who can only fight with one hand are tortured to death by the rangers. There are quite a few riding archers who are proficient in archery. Ordinary arrows are fine, but if a magic arrow is shot, whether it is on the march or into the camp, it will cause a lot of casualties.

Let's go after them. In the army of 800 people, leaving aside the noble officers on horseback, there are only more than 400 people who have been incorporated into the cavalry. Every time they want to chase the rangers, they will not hesitate to fight and retreat decisively. The cavalry come back There will always be fewer people. After so many days, the original cavalry of more than 400 has been reduced to 360. This is because the cavalry behind became more and more vigilant, and they will not chase deeply or disperse. , Under such a lesson, these aristocratic gentlemen became more and more war-weary and less and less willing to confront the rangers. They turned around and arranged the light infantry at the outermost part of the march or at the outermost periphery when they were stationed to protect their own safety.They came to teach those rebels a good lesson, and grab a lot of money by the way, but who would have thought that they would encounter a hard stubble?

The light infantry suffered terribly from this kind of offensive. While cursing the attack of the rangers, they cursed the shamelessness of the nobles. The cavalry shrank in the middle of the formation. This is a joke. Therefore, the casualties of the light infantry also soared Every day, more than a dozen unlucky people were shot or hacked to death because they failed to escape in time, and their morale was declining day by day. In front of regular soldiers, this improvised army seemed very vulnerable.

General Linirea, the commander of this force, thought so too.

He slowly put down the binoculars in his hand and sighed heavily. His morale was getting lower day by day. Everyone had vaguely felt that the other party was not a so-called rebel or a mob. On the contrary, the other party was the elite of the elite. It is also a rare elite soldier in the army. General Linirea used to be one of the lieutenants of the Favnir Army under the command of General Oleg. He faintly felt that something was wrong the day before the army's mutiny, so he left early and went to the local area. As expected, the Fafnir Legion rebelled and announced to support the central royal family. Most of the other noble lieutenants and senior generals were killed on the spot by pro-Alexander nobles and bourgeois officers. Only he escaped with his life. I thought If he can be a high-ranking official in the noble coalition army, at least he can be given the title of deputy commander in chief. Unfortunately, those stupid southern nobles would not choose him even if they chose an earl who knew nothing about military affairs. Giving suggestions, but not to the actual commander of the soldiers, this time he managed to allocate 800 people to quell the rebellion in the southeast. In the end, two noble representatives were placed to monitor him, causing him to be tied up all the time, unable to free command.

Withdrawal?Impossible, the two representatives of the nobles didn't want to withdraw their troops at all. They also felt that as long as they destroyed the other party's headquarters, they could force a decisive battle and win. It was not that Linirea had no way to deal with the ranger attack a few days ago. He suggested that all the cavalry They dispatched to encircle and launch an offensive with a numerical advantage, and then choose a remote route to advance, avoiding the unscrupulous guerrilla harassment of the enemy cavalry in the Great Plains as much as possible, but the two "smart decision" nobles don't think so, the cavalry are all elite The seedlings of the nobles are all from their own family, how can they be made to suffer?These people are the core of the nobles. What if they are all wiped out in an ambush? As for starting from a remote route, they are even more resolutely opposed. Who knows where it is easier to be ambushed by the enemy? Not to mention the road is difficult, They also never choose to travel from there.

It's not completely unreasonable. After all, the next wave of supplies will still follow their original route. If they change their route and the supplies can't keep up, it will be a very bad situation, but General Linirea still knows that, This siege is likely to be lost.

It’s okay if the opponent isn’t an elite soldier. If they are elite soldiers, it will definitely be difficult to win. These light infantry are all composed of refugees, servants, and peasants led by nobles. Their combat effectiveness is low, and their quality is low, not to mention their weapons and equipment. Probably only the gang of goblins on the border of the southeastern province. These people rely on numbers to overwhelm each other. They coax each other to disperse, flee when they are frustrated, and chase after the enemy retreats. There are too few regular professional soldiers. , there are only ten armored infantrymen, archers, and magicians. Nine of these ten are found among adventurers. , heavy infantry, air cavalry, siege troops, enchanted archers/strong archers, these elite troops are completely absent. These are all controlled by the Kingdom Age, and it is impossible for ordinary people to organize them. Even nobles, only those The big nobles are qualified and capable of raising these troops that cost a lot of money. With such a small army of more than 1000 people, how can those big nobles be willing to take out those precious lumps and ruin them?

Linirea can't retreat even if he wants to retreat, let's not talk about how he will be treated if he goes back, but if he retreats, if the opponent is ambushing on the way back...

"I knew that someone else would take over this task," Linerea sighed heavily again.

As night fell, the rangers launched another surprise attack as expected. The army of the Linerea Department was used to this kind of routine attack. It was nothing more than shooting a few arrows and killing a few people. The opponent's magic arrows are also very cherished. Since the light infantry marched and rested outside, they seldom use magic arrows.

But today is different. The magic arrows are indeed expensive, and they are expensive, but this does not mean that the same precious glass is so expensive, at least after opening a glass factory to replace the glass workshop, although the glass was requested by Commander Victor not to be sold to the public. The selling price is shocking, but there is no limit for personal use, so during this period of time, the factory is running at full capacity, and countless simple alcohol Molotovs are shipped along with the four war kings.

Molotov, good stuff, even if you use it, you can say it's good.

This is Sumarokov's evaluation.

The rangers roared, and the arrows from the camp shot at them one after another. These arrows were weak and powerless. Under the blind fire, the opponent didn't want to take it too seriously. Anyway, the rangers seldom targeted them, and the arrows were very weak. Precious, they are just pretending to fight back, those unlucky light infantry who died, no matter what they do, under the double protection of armor and mobility, the rangers quickly approached the temporary camp, they slowed down and bent over to protect the fire The match in his hand ignited Molotov again, raised his arms and threw it towards the camp!

96 magic cannon

Molotov beautifully drew an arc in the air. These glass bottles crossed the simple fence and smashed heavily on the ground or a few tents. The alcohol in the bottle was under internal and external pressure. Soon, the flames blazed up, and the sound of explosions rang out from all directions. These flames were stained on the light infantry, on the tents, and on the supplies, rendering destruction everywhere.

The light infantry were startled by the explosion of the flames, they fled in a panic, they didn't even have time to get their weapons and equipment, they fled in all directions, this is not an ordinary fight, it must have been a large-scale attack They hurriedly avoided the flames and ran to the camp with all their strength, some simply rushed to the gate of the barracks to escape.

It was another round of throwing. The archers gave up resistance and fled together early. No one could keep calm in front of the flames. The soldiers took him away, and no one wanted to put out the fire, oh, yes, General Linilea yelled at people to put out the fire, but it seemed that it was destined that the nearest village in this area was far away from the fire. These three miles.

Everyone was running away in a mess, rushing out of the barracks. After so many days of small fights, no one expected that the rangers would launch a sudden and large-scale attack. It seemed that precious magic arrows were used on a large scale. My God, this How much did you use?They are still the most precious fire magic arrows among magic arrows. What kind of army are they?Could it be an elite guard like the Grand Knights?

"General! Retreat! Organize the army to break through!"

A personal soldier ran up and shouted to General Linirea.

"Bastard! Where are the magicians! Let them put out the fire!" General Linerea yelled.

"Take the general to retreat!"

Several personal soldiers set up Linirea and forced him on the horseback, and they got on their horses to break through the gate of the barracks. The light infantry was densely packed on the road, and several fences had been knocked down. They didn't care about anything in order to escape. The guards took out their long swords and slashed vigorously, cutting a path through the crowd of light infantry to lead General Linirea to evacuate, and many nobles did the same, not caring about the life and death of the light infantry at all, Lini General Rhea was ashamed when he saw this scene. He knew that this army was completely finished.

Anyway, it was a bit disciplined. The archers and noble cavalry who escaped first organized a counterattack. The cavalry rushed towards the ranger in a mess, and the archer shot a round of arrows from behind. If we continue to stay with them, the current situation has already exceeded the combat objectives.

As soon as the rangers withdrew, everyone seemed to be relieved. The noble officers took whips and told the light infantry to go to the nearby villages to find water to put out the fire. Several water magicians also began to chant spells to release water magic to put out the fire. General Linerea's eyes were bloodshot, and he felt angry when he saw the two representatives of the nobles sitting aside unscathed. The flames and explosions ignited by the first wave of Rangers' attack made the two feel overwhelmed. The nobles whose masters were shorter than the ground suddenly panicked, and immediately fled the barracks with their own soldiers. The soldiers don't know the generals, and the generals don't know the soldiers. It is really delusional for such a broken army to fight against the emerging elite troops.

After a sleepless night, Linirea sat down and rested for a while at dawn. One-third of the temporary camp was affected by the fire. Tents, weapons, and supplies were also damaged in pieces. Many light infantry even fled. They ran out without any weapons and equipment, just wearing a single suit. Up to now, a total of 340 soldiers have been killed and more than 100 people have been injured. More than 50 people were directly burned to death under the flames, and 100 people remained. They died of suffocation because they were trapped in the sea of ​​flames and could not escape. More than 130 people died under the chaotic stampede. In addition, many people died because they could not be cured or were not treated in time. The death toll of the opponent was zero, and the number of injured people was estimated to be about the same. Here, there are nearly 500 people who are unable to fight.

600 soldiers who can still fight, a ridiculous number. Before seeing the shadow of the opponent's large army, more than [-] people have been reduced first. Linerea took a deep breath again. Now retreat is the most successful choice. He walked towards the tents of the two representatives of the nobles. The chaos of the night made the two representatives very tired. At this moment, the two were sitting opposite each other, smoking a cigarette and drinking coffee, thinking about what to do next.

"General Linilea, you are here." The noble representative on the left greeted blankly.

"Let's withdraw troops."

Linirea said clearly, sat down and spoke to the two viscounts.

"It is not appropriate for our army to continue marching. The morale is broken. The strength of the troops is probably less than twice that of the opponent. The supply of troops is even more uneven. There is no way to continue the fight." General Linirea said with his hands open.

"Last night, you all saw that the other party used magic arrows on a large scale, causing serious casualties to our army. Since the other party dared to use it so recklessly, it proves that they must have more abundant supplies. At that time, even if It is a head-on confrontation, how can it be possible to win." General Linirea continued.

"Calm down, General Linirea." The noble representative on the right put down his cigarette and said.

"We can't retreat."

"Then please allow me to resign."

"If you go back now, you will only get the reputation of running away."

"That's better than dying."

"Why are you panicking, general, you are a viscount just like the two of us, and the other party won't do anything to you."

"What do you mean by that? What will we do after being captured?"

"When we were captured, we asked the other party to exchange money. If we should go back, we can still go back. What's more, we can't lose. Our army still has an advantage in numbers. General Linilea, you have to be confident in your command."

The Viscount on the left stood up and said.

"This is our newly discovered information. Their stronghold is here, this hill."

The Viscount pointed to the coordinates on the map and said.

General Linilea leaned over his desk and watched carefully for a while, then stood up with disdain and turned his head back.

"Going here to attack is tantamount to seeking death, not to mention that the opponent must have moved away from here long ago, this place is probably an empty city."

"It's impossible for us to search for each other's new stronghold. No matter whether it's real or not, there's only one way to go. Besides, it's better to be an empty city." The Viscount continued.

"Regardless of whether the information is true or not, we must go. If it is an empty city, then it would be great. If not, then prepare to fight."

"Think about it carefully, we sent troops this time, but with the support of many fugitive nobles, if we just go back like this, what will they think of us, General Linilea, you should weigh it carefully.

"Stupid," said General Linirea, with his hands on the desk.

"To underestimate it now will only lead to a big mistake."

The huge explosion made everyone's brains buzzing, the smoke dispersed in all directions, and everyone coughed again, but everyone didn't care about this "accidental injury", and everyone ran forward through the smoke. There was a shooting range next to it, and everyone ran over to see it like crazy, even Sherman, a steady old colonel, ran over to see the situation desperately.

The situation of the target made everyone feel deeply shocked. The phalanx composed of scarecrows was almost pierced through. The solid shell plowed a deep trace ten meters away, and it was still emitting green smoke. Looking back at those scarecrows, they basically fell down, turned upside down, split up, split apart, and separated from the "body and head". If described in ancient Chinese, it would probably be:

All the generals looked over there, only heard an explosion like a thunder piercing through the ears, and the dust scattered in all directions, making people's eyes stare. The generals were overjoyed when they heard the thunder and smelled the dust again, and hurried to the target with all the generals Looking around, I saw that the target was crooked, the grass and trees were scattered all over the ground, and the target array was three or four out of ten. The stone bullet flew back three feet along the array, and the plowed ground was two inches deep. , It can be said that: the power of ordinary magic has been unparalleled in ancient times, and it can be compared with ordinary people today.

"It's incredible." Battalion Commander Sherman muttered to himself looking at the traces.

"This power is not inferior to the one-strike magic of a war magician." Major Rebio also looked at the trace with skeptical eyes, and couldn't help shaking his head.

"Did he bring the magic cannon? The legendary dwarf magic cannon?" Major Rebio asked the gunner with gestures.

"Major, these were just manufactured this month." The gunner replied respectfully after saluting.

"Incredible." Major Rebio exclaimed.

"I've only heard about the reputation of this thing from stories before. I didn't expect that this thing is really so scary. If it can be installed on a large scale, I only need ten, and I can easily fight against twice the number of people. Enemy," said Battalion Commander Sherman.

"Tell me, soldier, what is the price for making such a magic cannon? One hundred gold coins? One thousand gold coins?" Battalion Commander Sherman turned around and asked.

"In fact, the main cost of a magic cannon lies in the magic crystal at its core. Whether it is the body of the cannon, the engraving circle or the shell, it is all small. This guy's magic crystal is not something that can be replaced by ordinary magic crystals. Only the magic crystal of a high-level monster can be fully driven." Okdo took a deep breath and said, feeling the smell of the fire.

"Oh, that's not cheap." Major Rebio looked at the baby reluctantly and said.

"However, the manufacturing price will come down soon. I heard that the reason why this thing must use high-level magic crystals is mainly because the transmission effect between the magic crystals and the magic circle is not good, and there is not enough magic power to pass through during the magic activation process." , which led to the shooting not far away. Using high-level magic crystals can solve this problem, but it is not a long-term solution, so Wangcheng has adjusted this thing. You see, this cannon has now become a double magic circle Excitation, that is, the impact of the wind element, and the explosion of the fire element, this is also the reason for the smoke just now.

The next generation of cannons will cancel the shock circle and use the explosion circle completely, and mix a small amount of so-called "alchemy black medicine" to assist the excitation. At that time, only the middle and low-level magic crystals are enough inspired.

97 Type Three New Weapons and Land Redistribution

After repeated exploration and transformation, Sun Boyang and the workers agreed that a large amount of energy would be lost in the process of engraving the magic circle on the bronze and then energizing it to lead to the inner gun wall. This is also the reason why the impact could not reach the intended goal. After careful consideration, these four prototype guns were replaced with more advanced high-level magic crystals, and the shock/explosion double magic circle was used to jointly stimulate them. meters or more.

After researching to this point, Sun Boyang began to adjust the blueprints. The original shock array was eliminated and replaced with an explosion array with more energy-conducting effects. The black powder is blended together to stimulate and complete the shooting, so the cost is indeed reduced a lot. After all, the prices of high-level magic crystals and middle-level magic crystals can be said to be the same as the sky.

The amount of black powder is really frustrating. Although the skills of those alchemists are rich enough to rarely waste, the raw materials are not enough.Sulfur, when mentioning sulfur, Sun Boyang couldn’t help but want to smile wryly. In the entire country of more than 60 square kilometers, there is not even a single large sulfur mine. The one on the side of Grand Duke Nicholas is big enough, but right now With the attitude of Grand Duke Nicholas, there is no way to buy sulfur from him on a large scale.

The current sulfur is all purchased from various places. I have to say that the network of smugglers is really powerful. Stephen knows a lot of dealers. After hearing that Sun Boyang is willing to buy sulfur at a high level, they all rushed to the southwest province. Others simply buy them from the Ossus Empire. Without these unscrupulous connections, using sulfur in batches like this may end in a few battles.

I heard that several suspected mines were found in the mountains on the southeast border, but they are just rumors from adventurers, who knows if it is true or not, not to mention that there are countless monsters living in the [-] mountains on the southeast border, and there is even a dwarf tribe Settling there, now we can only simply send people to explore and find out as much information as possible. It is basically impossible to count on that side.

With the increase of gunpowder in the future, the cannons will completely abandon the use of magic stimulation. After that, they can also try to study new war plans, which are three new items: muskets, explosive shells and steam power. Limited to the engraving circle and magic crystal, it is destined not to be used on a large scale. Even if it is used, it must be developed under the premise of regular and rapid development. Sun Boyang attaches equal importance to this area as the southern region. They are all Sun Boyang's work centers.

……

"With these cannons, He Chou can't defeat the enemy, and He Chou can't break through the city." General Rebio said, taking a deep breath of the smoke in his pipe.

"The noble army has suffered. We not only have this, but also the three weapons of dwarf fire, Molotov, and shadow. This battle will definitely be victorious." Okdo said with a smile.

The dwarf fire is used by the archers, the Molotov is used by the cavalry, and the magic cannon sits in the center. No matter what kind of weapon it is, it will play a huge role. The noble army will soon feel the pain of the replacement of weapons.
