"I didn't expect that one day I would be able to command a battle at the regimental level......," Red-Clad whispered to himself in a voice that he could only hear. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yes, in this day and age, wars are just a common thing, and blood is already used to it. A battle at the level of a legion, in the midst of a battle between two camps, was such a trivial matter that it could not even arouse the interest of the ruler even a glance if the report of such a thing could even be sent to their desks.

This kind of battle, for a faction, is nothing. But for Hongyi, it has exceeded his imagination.

originally thought that the battles that he could command in his life were only at the squad level of dozens of people. But like everyone knows, a squad-level fight is one that requires little to no command level. In fact, in a battle of this level, the talent of the so-called commander is worthless, and the so-called battle is simply a melee in which only muscles and not brains (not even muscles, only luck) and no skills to speak of. A leading student of a military academy graduate, an impeccable future star, may be pressed to the ground and rubbed repeatedly by some illiterate farmer. The red clothes themselves thought that their most likely destination was to one day, in a small war that would not have any historical records, and become one of those unlucky people who would never get up from lying in the ground.

I didn't expect to have such a day...... Redcoat looked at the battlefield in front of him again. The night hides most of the killings. But the war in the distance is real. The steel machinery, which is still twisting and even disintegrating in flames, fully illustrates that this is not an illusion.

If the destroyed exoskeleton armor - regardless of the model - is not completely shattered by an explosion, the flames caused by the energy leak will burn for a long time. These flames illuminate the battlefield. This is also the most common scene of this level of battlefield, that is, the clan level.

On Grumas's mid-lane defense, at least a hundred exoskeleton armors have been visually lost. Taking into account the ratio of heavy infantry and light infantry, then the casualties have already reached a thousand. Moreover, the exoskeleton armor that can be seen to be lost is concentrated in a fairly dense area...... It can be assumed that powerful firepower points were placed here, or elite troops were arranged. According to intelligence, this side of the army may be the weakest.

The upper and lower lanes were more powerful, and Grumas's arrangement was straightforward: attract and consume the enemy with a smaller number of elite troops in the middle, and then counterattack from the top and bottom.

Lu Wu was right...... From the start, Grumas was prepared. Their ability to defeat the outlying outposts so easily and enter the city of Nice was a complete deception, a deliberate trap. The best proof of this is the situation we are facing. Hongyi didn't know where Lu Wu's news came from, but it was obvious that Lu Wu had a special news channel.

This war should only last one night, right? The Redcoats could easily deduce Grumas's predetermined plan from the current situation. In fact, as long as you are not blinded by greed or ambition, it is easy to see what is wrong with Grumas. As the heir to a governor on the mission of capturing a floating fortress for his family, how could he have only such a patchwork second-rate army that was not worth mentioning in terms of quantity or quality?

No matter how weak the Governor of the Sands is, he can at least provide three, five, or even ten elite legions from Grumas, right? Well, even if the mobilization is not in a hurry, it will definitely not be difficult to come over first.

So, at the end of the day, everything is a trap. And it's a botched trap. Redcoat looked unsympathetically at the shattered and burning exoskeleton armor in the distance. Those who can't see the truth clearly, are blinded by desires and impulses, even if they die, there is nothing to regret.

At this moment, his command is beyond doubt. Because the theoretical supreme commander, that is, Lu Wu, has even charged to the front line, and all that is left of this front-line command is the red clothes.

He was responsible for both enemy counteroffensives. But it's not too difficult, because at the moment, there is a whole legion behind him...... Nearly two thousand hoplites of the XVI Corps.

Moreover, this is a well-equipped and well-trained unit formed by the Red Coat. Although the commander of the legion is Lu Wu, the formation of the legion itself, the absorption of personnel, and daily training are indeed fully responsible for the red clothes.

The current Sixteenth Legion, although it is only a legion in name, is not a normal legion. Because under normal circumstances, it is rare to organize a hoplite corps of more than a thousand people. According to the concept of this world, the "legion" is not a unit of numbers, but a unit of combat power. Poorly trained and poorly equipped regiments will usually have more people and use quantity to compensate for quality, while elite troops will have fewer numbers. In this way, the combat effectiveness of different legions can be roughly equal. This approach can bring convenience to the command, so that the top management can clearly understand the combat power they have invested, and will not produce some strategic calculation errors.

But now the situation is completely different. There was no point in keeping the legions equal in strength, because the commander of the legions, the Governor, no longer existed. Lu Wu was just a legion commander, and it was natural for him to expand his strength. By absorbing the remnants of the local army on the other side of Gasher, or in other words, recruiting volunteers, the combat power of the Sixteenth Legion has greatly exceeded the level of the normal legion. Moreover, due to the successful recovery of a large amount of equipment from the battlefield, plus the looting (well, that can only be called the looting) of the military equipment of the former regular army in the city of Gashe, the average equipment of the entire legion has reached the level of the first-line heavy regiments of the regular army.

The most intuitive feeling is that the exoskeleton armor worn by all soldiers is neat and uniform, and almost all of them are brand new. Moreover, more than 1,000 people all stood there quietly, motionless. Even though there is an element of exoskeleton armor, this kind of scene can only be done by elite divisions.

As for the gold content of this "elite division", it will be tested immediately.

In this battle, Grumas undoubtedly laid out the battlefield in advance. Like the midfield, it looks like there are not many defenders, but in reality it is difficult to defeat head-on because of the careful placement of fortifications or the deployment of elite troops. No...... It's not a fortification, and even Grumas can't tell when Lu Wu will attack. If the fortifications are built in advance, they may be exposed. So it should be an elite unit...... A small detachment, but very well equipped and trained.

Come to think of it, there should be similar troops on the upper and lower roads. After all, if it is an elite army of hundreds of people, it is easy to hide.

At a distance, there must have been reinforcements that Grumas had arranged in advance. At this point, Hongyi completely agrees with Lu Wu's point of view. This support army should be an overwhelming army in numbers, and the time when the reinforcements arrive should be dawn. This point in time is not a guess, but an estimate based on the speed at which the armies of this world are marching. Because if the support army is too far away, then there will be no time for reinforcements, so Grumas will risk his life, and if the support army is too close, it will be easy to be discovered, and Grummas's plan will become stupid and ridiculous.

All Redcoat has to do now is defeat Grumas in the space of one night.

It would not have been easy under normal circumstances, as Grumas must have made arrangements for it, and the elite troops had formed a defensive line in favorable terrain. Even if it were to be defeated in such a situation, it would take time and huge casualties. For Lu Wu's side, the most lacking thing is time.

However, Grumas took the initiative to counter and gave him that opportunity. Or rather, the desire to take advantage of his nature led him to this opportunity. The Red Clothes were convinced of this. That's why a quarter of the night has passed, and the Redcoats still leave the Legion in place.

"Are the mines arranged?" asked Redcoat's men. In addition to the ordinary equipment, Lu Wu also has some new equipment that has never been put into the battlefield - not yet in this world. This time, Lu Wu rented a floating train from the public trade network, so he was able to bring this equipment over.

Chief among them were landmines - in Lu Wu's original idea, he and Grumas were most likely to engage in a field battle outside of Nice, close to the Floating Fortress. In this case, Grumas has a high probability of having superior forces. In order to deal with the enemy with superior forces, the method of detouring from the flank and the rear was adopted, and the method that Lu Wu came up with was to use a mine array. By deploying mines, an area becomes completely impassable.

"It's already laid out. The subordinate replied.

"Get the mortars ready," Redcoat pondered a few details of the battle ahead. "Wait until the first wave of the enemy's offensive reaches the predetermined position, immediately open fire. ”

If he can crush the enemy in one fell swoop, then not only will Grummas's counterattack be crushed, but also open the way for his own attack. Speaking of this, he didn't understand Lu Wu's approach at all...... Why did Lu Wu choose the middle line? And instead of choosing the soldiers of the original 16th Army Corps, which were well-equipped, he chose to lead the local armies of the local army of Nice City.

I can't understand Lu Wu's logic at all...... In the words of the Red Coat, this is called death. It is not wrong for the commander to lead the charge into battle. In a clan-level battle, the courage of a commander can also be a great inspiration, even better than many clever strategies. But what's going on with Lu Wu now? There are loyal and reliable elite soldiers who don't bring them, but carry a bunch of miscellaneous cards, and then attack the enemy's solid defense line that has been proven. If Lu Wu hadn't proposed it himself, let alone put it into practice, even if he had put forward this plan, it would have been a bit of a problem in his head.

What is even more incomprehensible is why Lu Wu is so resolute, does not listen to any persuasion, and is desperate to die. Fortunately, Ivan is not here, otherwise it would be estimated that a "crying" drama would have been staged.

But in any case, Lu Wu was in charge of the middle line, giving the red clothes ample troops and room for maneuver. With the mines that went to war for the first time, Redcoat had absolute confidence and let Grummas's subordinates know how powerful they were.

A dazzling fire rang out in the darkness. By the light of the fire, Redcoat could clearly see the overlapping figures of a group of soldiers wearing exoskeleton armor. Then, with another explosion, several exoskeletons flew into the air in the firelight.

"Mortars, fire. The red coat ordered mercilessly.
