Aurora led a group of eagles to bombard the "Dragon's Eye" artillery position, and the continuous explosions and the smoke and dust rising into the sky were quite spectacular, which immediately attracted the attention of the opposite Kolas army. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Rudolph stood on a high ground with binoculars in his hand to observe the enemy's rear positions, while Pavel and Alexei led their horses behind him and waited for the next battle order. The enemy artillery positions were under air raid and could no longer provide fire support to the front-line garrisons, and both colonels thought that this was a good opportunity to launch a general attack, but their generals were not in a hurry and seemed to be waiting for a better moment.

At this moment, there was a dull roar of the magic crystal engine in the air, and a huge shadow quickly passed over the position. When people looked up at the sky, they saw a silver airship sailing at a low altitude, and as it passed in front of the Kolas Army's position, the hatch opened, and a humanoid object jumped down one after another, spreading its parachute in the air.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the airborne landed safely one after another. Only then did people realize that they had landed six inhuman steel monsters, with their heavy silver shells that stood out on the battlefield.

"What is this...... Golem? ”

"Those iron giants seem to carry people in their bodies, and I haven't heard of golems that can carry people."

"If you look closely, those iron giants have coats of arms on their chests that resemble the flags of our army, which means that they are all their own people."

"Isn't it, it looks like our regiment is going to add a new branch after the newly formed 'grenadier battalion'."

The warriors of the Korath Army looked curiously at the Iron Giants of the Six as they walked towards them, and whispered guesses about their identities.

Rudolph threw the telescope to Alexei, turned over to meet the Iron Giant, and looked with interest at the "new mechanical armor" that Roland had mentioned many times in his letters.

"This is the legendary 'Yangbo Mecha'? Looks good, but I have a question...... "The Shogun glanced at the six identical-looking mechanical armors, "Where is my son?" ”

The leader of the mechanical armor raised his hand, and Roland's laughter came from the loudspeaker: "Father, I want to take this opportunity to show you the tactical value of the mechanical armor, and by the way, practice the new infantry tactics." ”

"Great, I'll see." Rudolph smiled comfortably, "You will take the lead in the next counterattack, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem, but I need the grenadier battalion to move forward, as we've trained many times before."

"I expect you to be as good on the battlefield as you are on the training ground." Rudolph gave his son a military salute as a sign of blessing and turned back to beckon, "Ivan, Alexander, it's time for you to play." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency!" Ivan and Alexander hurriedly saluted Rudolph and urged their horses to move closer to the mechanical armor, and they were followed by the newly formed "grenadier battalion" of the Kolas Army.

Less than two weeks after the establishment of the Ordnance Workshop of the Kolath Corps, the Warlocks led by Kafta had already set up a regular and efficient "grenade factory" with the assistance of the major iron factories in Kitland, and the grenades produced according to the uniform specifications were concentrated in the grenadier battalion, and at the recommendation of Roland, this newly formed independent battalion was placed under the command of Ivan and Alexander. Ivan was the battalion commander and Alexander was his deputy, and in order to match the heavy responsibilities they shouldered, both young officers were promoted to the rank of captain in the line of fire, which caused some controversy within the regiment, after all, their seniority and merit were too shallow, and people preferred to believe that they were promoted by personal friendship with Roland rather than any special talents.

Ivan and Alexander also heard about the above rumors, and of course they were very unhappy to be promoted by "nepotism", and they both held their breath in their hearts, determined to prove that Roland did not look away with their performance on the battlefield. At this moment, the commander-in-chief was named to lead the team, and the two young people were both excited and a little nervous, and they looked at each other tacitly, encouraging each other.

The two commanders of the "Grenadier Battalion" were knights, but the 300 grenadiers under his command were not the Sindra Black Guards, but all elite samurai selected by Roland himself from the Kitland City Guard. The reason why he chose Kitlanders over his own southern folks was mainly due to the fact that throwing grenades requires strong brawn, and Kitlander is rich in tall and long-armed, and is the best candidate to serve as a grenadier.

The three hundred grenadiers were all dressed in cuirasses, armed with tower shields, and carrying short swords at their waists. Equipped with a tower shield to protect against accidental injuries caused by shrapnel splashing of grenades, equipped with a short sword instead of the giant sword or battle axe used by the Kitland warriors, the "grenadier" is different from the regular infantry, with a medium-range throwing weapon as the main means of attack, it is enough to equip a light short sword as a self-defense weapon, and the saved load can carry more grenades. In addition to the tower shield and short sword, the grenadier had a standard piece of equipment - a palm-wide belt with a row of long pockets sewn into it, all filled with grenades. To make it easier to carry, Kafta changed the ball grenade invented by Jack into the shape of a wine bottle and installed a wooden handle for throwing.

In order to facilitate the field command, Roland first used the staff given by the old man Sukhoi to bless Nikita, Lyudmila, Bloom, Veronica and Vigraf with the telepathic connection, and Ivan and Alexander were also linked, after which everyone re-mounted the mechanical armor.

The rumbling engine shook the battlefield, and the six mechanical armors lined up and strode towards the enemy position. Ivan and Alexander broke up the "grenadier battalion" and reorganized it into six squadrons of fifty men each, each with a mechanical armor to move forward. When Roland suggested such a formation, Ivan and Alexander were still a little inexplicable, and only now did they suddenly realize the benefits of this when they stepped on the battlefield full of artillery fire. Thickly armored and ferocious mechanical armor charged forward, crushing the enemy troops trying to intercept them with the roar of machine guns, like a mobile steel fortress, providing a barrier to stabilize the morale of the infantry behind them. Although the number of mechanical armor is too small to constitute the "iron frenzy" that Roland envisions, this psychological barrier is sometimes even more effective than real cover—as long as the mechanical armor in front of them does not fall, the grenadiers who follow them will not lose the courage to move forward. On the other hand, mechanical armor is a bit sluggish compared to humans, and is vulnerable to sneak attacks from the flanks and backs when hand-to-hand combat, and the grenadier battalion accompanies the mechanical armor while providing cover for the latter, especially when the Yakov corps attempts to launch a counter-charge.
