1312 Ancient Methods of Warfare

After a short period of twists and turns, the siege weapons troops still successfully reached the front line.

Seeing that the various weapons under his command had finally arrived, Xiao Yu turned around and rushed to a ballista at the front, his voice full of undisguised pride:

"Little Lord, how about looking at the chariot I built?"

"It's far from the ancient chariot." Lin Chi's answer was very honest.

Xiao Yu, who has the title of "Queen of Annihilation", is actually the best apprentice of the master engineer, she herself has no combat effectiveness, but she is definitely a rare expert in manufacturing and controlling siege weapons.

However, no matter how high her level is, these ballistas and catapults are just backward old-fashioned weapons, and compared with the BTR chariots driven by Lin Chi and Shen Wenchong, they are more than one era behind.

"Well, I'll admit it......"

Xiao Yu stood unconvinced next to the BTR infantry fighting vehicle, staring at the armor of the shell: "The ancients actually had such advanced technology, I thought they were a group of monkeys who ate raw meat and hunted." ”

"The ancients were destroyed in a great war, and they used weapons that were enough to wipe out all the creatures on this continent." Lin Chi explained: "Although most of the technology was destroyed in the war, some of it should be usable. ”

"Well, if the energy produces this chariot of yours, we will be absolutely invincible!" Xiao Yu kept nodding.

"Let's do it first." Lin Chi stood aside and got out of the way of the route of the siege weapon: "It's your turn to perform." ”

A part of the battle scar army was lurking at the foot of the mountain at this time, and the infantry and cavalry rushed directly to it, which was undoubtedly an act of death.

So now, it's time for the siege weapons show!

The three fox chariots of the Battle Scar Army have been destroyed, and the remaining fox chariots have not shown their heads for the time being, which just gives the Flame Wind Army an excellent opportunity for the siege weapon troops.

"Haha, look at me!"

Xiao Yu quickly gave orders to the dusty soldiers, and the heavy trebuchet, which had been folded in the form of a chariot, began to unfold in the wasteland behind the forest.

Boom!

The heavy metal stakes at the four corners of the trebuchet were nailed into the soil, and the strong men grasped the handrails at the upper end of the stakes and began to twist them hard, seeing this simple "pile driver", Lin Chi also nodded approvingly:

Although it can't be compared with "ancient" technology, this design idea is still correct, but the efficiency is too poor.

People like the engineering master and Xiao Yu belong to the kind of talents who add the wrong "skill points", and the general direction of the research is correct, but they lack a breakthrough.

Once the steam engine is popularized and Flamewind City re-enters the era of the Industrial Revolution, the technology of this territory can definitely advance by leaps and bounds!

"Fixed!"

After the weapons were installed, Xiao Yu took out the Soviet-made telescope assigned to him, put it in front of him to observe the foothills in the distance, and kept praising in his mouth:

"How did the ancients make this kind of thing? It's as high as magic......"

"The structure of the telescope is very simple, and you can also produce it on a large scale." Lin Chi smiled: "This kind of thing will be talked about later, let's find the enemy." ”

"Uh-huh, I'm called 'Bull's Eye', huh?" Xiao Yu said an ugly nickname.

"You've got quite a lot of titles." Lin Chi complained casually.

"Do you see the enemy? Where are they? ”

General Qin was not interested in chatting at all, and just stood beside Xiao Yu and waited for the woman to reply.

"There were signs of biological activity over there, but they hid underneath." Xiao Yu's tone was not quite sure: "I'm not an immortal, so I can't identify how many people there are!" ”

"And what about your decision?" Lin Chi looked at the woman's face with "smoky makeup" with interest.

The reason why he didn't let Jane make a move was also to see how many skills these troops and generals under his command had. With almost a certain victory, Lin Chi is actually testing these soldiers now.

"My decision ......"

Xiao Yu thought for a while, and decisively ordered the soldiers of the siege force:

"Count the first two catapults three squares to the left, and the last three catapults to the left adjust two squares, listen to my orders, and get ready to fire!"

- Looks like she's quite confident......

Looking at Xiao Yu's serious appearance, Lin Chi smiled and secretly made a judgment in his heart.

This woman is just not very reliable on the surface, but her professionalism is not at all to say, and she can be regarded as a competent commander of the weapons unit.

The strong men began to turn the catapult that was fixed to the metal disc, and the disc embedded in the ring rotated a few scales with the click according to Xiao Yu's order.

"It's a great design." Lin Chi looked at the rotatable trebuchet.

"It's a master engineer's design." General Qin said coldly: "It's not from this girl's handwriting. ”

In normal times, Xiao Yu must have refuted loudly a long time ago. But now that she was concentrating on commanding, she directly ignored General Qin's words, took out a red flag out of nowhere, raised her right arm and raised the banner high:

"Readyβ€”"

The strong men of the siege weapons force pulled the rope at one end of the trebuchet's long arm and pulled the boulder in the brown holster downward.

In order to control the manpower trebuchet, the soldiers of the siege weapons unit were all fierce men with explosive muscles, panting with red faces, and trying their best to pull the boulder down, and the weight at the other end was suspended high and shook slightly.

"Put!"

Xiao Yu waved the flag violently, and the strong men released their grips on the rope at the same time, and the angular boulder was instantly thrown out by the long wooden arm and flew towards the foothills of the mountain a few hundred meters away.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The boulders fell to the ground one after another, stirring up huge waves of dust, and on the second position that the War Scar Army was building, there was suddenly another bloody storm.

Seeing the flesh and blood wreckage rising into the air along with the smoke, Xiao Yu put down the binoculars and waved his fist vigorously: "Hit!" ”

"Confirm the casualties." General Qin immediately ordered.

"I can't confirm it, they're under cover!" Xiao Yu shook his head: "But judging from this amount of bleeding, there are definitely a lot of deaths!" ”

Listening to the seemingly normal conversation of the generals, Lin Chi's brows frowned slightly, but he still didn't make a sound, waiting for them to continue to analyze the situation.

Huo Fang, the commander of the bow and arrow unit, who had been standing next to him and bowing his head silently, suddenly spoke at this time:

"Wait a minute, it shouldn't be that simple."

"I promise you'll hit the mark!" Xiao Yu said loudly.

"But didn't you notice, you can't be sure what you hit." The small sharpshooter said the point: "I also saw the situation over there, but I only saw blood spraying, and I didn't see any corpses. ”

"You don't need a telescope to see clearly?" Lin Chi asked in surprise.

"Yes, lord, it's the instinct of the archers." Huo Fang brushed aside the irrelevant topic and continued to say to Xiao Yu: "We can't be sure what exactly was hit, the blood may not be spurted by their soldiers, it may also be the corpse they have prepared, and it may even be a tomato ......."

"I'm not stupid, I can't even tell the difference between blood and tomatoes!" Xiao Yu was so angry that his face was crooked: "You treat me as a fool, don't you, Brother Huo Fang?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense." General Qin interrupted Xiao Yu's words: "Huo Fang has a point, this may indeed be a trap. ”

- On the battlefield, a battle that goes too smoothly is most likely a trap set by the enemy. This kind of basic military theory, General Qin is naturally very clear.

Of course, he also knew that the Scars of War could not be routed so easily, and the area hit by trebuchets on the foothills of the mountain might be a ploy of the enemy.

Therefore, it is important to decide carefully about the next step of the strategy. After all......

General Qin looked back at the young lord and said softly, "I will atone for my sins." ”

"Leave me alone, you can make your own decisions." Lin Chi stared at the smoky foothills: "I believe you can win this war." ”

"Thank you, lord."

General Qin nodded and continued to discuss strategies with the generals present. Seeing the serious appearance of several generals, Lin Chi came to the rear of the siege weapons unit and found a certain "girl" who was standing in the forest watching the battlefield.

"How does it feel?" He patted Jane on the shoulder.

"It sucks." The superpowered boy shook his head, and his voice revealed strong disdain: "This kind of battle is too far from the wars I have experienced before. ”

"Hah, that's true. After all, the current human technology is equivalent to a 'restart'. Lin Chi smiled: "Don't worry, we will soon return to our previous state." ”

Compared with the war between the United States and the Soviet Union that Jane experienced back then, the war between the Flame Wind Army and the War Scar Army was no different from a child's house.

However, for ancient warfare, this scale is no longer small.

In the history of ancient warfare, in order to reflect the scale of the war, some figures were often exaggerated. The warring sides also rarely counted the number of large armies accurately, and often lied about the number of people in order to intimidate the enemy.

Because of this, the "hundreds of thousands of troops" or "millions of soldiers" recorded in many ancient documents are actually only tens of thousands, and may not even be even 10,000.

If it were put in the real ancient times, the current war would probably be recorded as something like "Fifty thousand troops of Flame Wind meet 50,000 wolf cavalry with battle scars". But Lin Chi, who has personally experienced this war, as long as he turns on the lord mode, he can see how many people there are on his side:

Flame Wind.

Current population: 4267.

General morale: relatively high.

Overall grain and grass situation: relatively sufficient.

- After the battle just now, the Flame Wind Army only lost less than ten people, which can be called a complete victory compared to the side of the Battle Scar Army.

However, if more equipment could be obtained from the Kursk military factory, the war would probably be over by now......

"Need I help you out?" Zhen raised her little hand and waved it in front of Lin Chi's eyes: "I can dispose of them immediately." ”

"No, I want to see what my soldiers will do." Lin Chi shook his head: "You can rest well, guest." ”

"Then I'm going back to sleep." Jane yawned: "There's nothing to see about this kind of 'war'. ”

"Well, go ahead."

Seeing that the young man was about to leave, Lin Chi suddenly thought of something: "You encountered a scorpion monster on the road, right?" ”

"Yes." Jane said lightly, "I killed it." ”

"Help me bring a letter, go back and tell Ren You of the Flame Wind Guard, just say that the enemy has summoned the 'Sand King' again." Lin Chi said.

"Ren You...... Which is it? Jane scratched her head.

"It's a wounded man from the Flamewind Guard." Recalling Ren You's mummy-like appearance before, Lin Chi couldn't help laughing: "You just go back and tell the heralds in the Flame Wind Palace, and they will inform that person." ”

Jane's movement speed is much faster than the Flame Wind Army's "Long Runner" herald, and letting him run errands is undoubtedly the most convenient option. After getting instructions from Lin Chi's side, the kid readily agreed:

"Got it, goodbye."

After speaking, the young man with his feet dangling in the air turned around and floated back into the woodland with ghostly movements.

Seeing the young man leave, Lin Chi returned to the temporary command post in the clearing, only to see that the generals who were still discussing just now finally came to a unified conclusion:

"Let my special forces pass." Huo Fang's tanned face showed a hearty smile, and a mouthful of white teeth could shoot a toothpaste commercial: "They will solve the ambush." ”

"Xiao Yu continues to bombard the opponent's position, and I will send two squads of the trapping regiment to disguise themselves to confirm the death status. As soon as they spot an enemy, they immediately lie down. ”

Speaking of this, General Qin glanced at Huo Fang again: "How is the training of the special forces?" ”

"Everyone on the team is a good player and has fully mastered how to use the new equipment." Huo Fang was obviously very confident: "You can rest assured in this regard, they can definitely complete the task." ”

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." General Qin turned his head as he spoke, and looked at Xiao Yu with disgusted eyes: "Once you find out that the enemy has set up an ambush in the distance, immediately bombard their ambush with trebuchets, understand?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Xiao Yu seriously imitated General Qin's tone: "Huo Fang has a point!" ”

Listening to Xiao Yu's tone, General Qin resisted the urge to beat the woman violently and gave an order to the herald.

The Red Armor heralds were distributed on the battlefield and began to give orders to the corresponding troops. Soon, the special force that Huo Fang mentioned also appeared in front of everyone.

The Special Forces consisted of only fifteen soldiers, dressed in brown-green combat uniforms that blended almost completely into the woodland.

Even in the wasteland ahead, their camouflage uniforms can be combined with grass and bushes for a nice camouflage effect. However, the most striking thing about these soldiers is not their appearance, but the weapons they carry behind them.

"Ah, this is the ancient ballista ......"

Xiao Yu walked around behind a soldier and stroked the "crossbow spear" behind the other party: "Little lord, this is also something found in the ancient ruins?" ”

"That's right."

Lin Chi nodded, looked at the weapon behind the soldier, and explained casually:

"In ancient times, this weapon was commonly referred to as ...... Assault rifle. ”
