255 War Mentor and Prince's Apprentice
As night fell, the source stone lamps raised high reflected the battlefield as bright as day, and the moans of people and monsters on the battlefield came and went, and a few vicious curses sounded from time to time.
"Fifty-two people were killed and seventy-seven were seriously wounded by our advance team......
"His Highness Rimako's statistics were also sent to me, twenty-five killed and fifty-five seriously wounded......"
"Excluding the results of the pursuit, 693 enemy corpses and 412 prisoners have been counted......"
There was almost nothing to do in this battle, and Kevin, who had to steal some administrative work, was so excited that his cheeks were red: "Duke, we have won a victory that will go down in history!"
In this battle, Li Qi invested about 300 men, 600 men in the advance team of Hadlang's regiment, and 500 men in the 74th regiment, for a total of 1,400 men. Compared with the enemies of the Holy Light Castle, the number is about the same, but the people of the Holy Light Castle are often level three, and there is no shortage of heroes, and the main body here is a trainee who can only stimulate the magic guide gun.
In this battle, the side suffered more than 200 casualties, but the other side lost thousands of men, and with Kevin's military experience, this was a completely miraculous victory.
As Theresia's sidekick, he has access to high-level data, such as the Battle of Aranis. Although the battle repelled the Ersami, the casualties on both sides were roughly equal, more than 10,000.
The scale of the battle was much smaller, and with equal or even slightly weaker forces, Richie and Rimac not only defeated each other, but also suffered only one-fifth of the opponent's casualties. Kevin couldn't wait to report back to Trelesia and let Her Majesty know that the Duke had made a perfect start on the Plateau of Godfall.
Li Qi sighed: "This is just a successful ploy, against this rabble, the leader is a stupid prince who can blow up at one point, and he has paid so many casualties, it is really embarrassing." ”
Prince Ruimac was actually scared at this time: "It's because I'm too complacent, I didn't expect the professional of the Divine Fall Plateau to be so strong. If they had been more organised and a little more tactical, we would have been in danger today. ”
Li Qi asked: "Remaco, what do you think are the main tactical problems?"
Rimako said very seriously: "The firepower level is the biggest problem, if all the Hadron soldiers are replaced by the people of the seventy-fourth legion, it will be different, and the magic fire bomb can be configured in the front." ”
"In addition, the precision firepower is not enough to suppress the opponent's high-level units, and it seems that more magic crossbowmen will have to be mixed in the squad. ”
"That's not necessary", Li Qi said, "see the magic guide gun we use, Finney 26 Precision Marksman Edition, the core circle uses the Rapid Wind Archery technique of Zold's Workshop, although the power consumption is a little larger, but the range and power are more than twice that of the normal version." This was just the time to get out of the Donomis workshop, so I didn't have time to support you. In a few days, when the production is enough, I will allocate a batch to you. ”
"Thank you so much," Rimac said happily, "In this way, we can snipe at the opponent's high-level units at a distance of at least five hundred meters, instead of letting the opponent rush within two hundred meters and then use spells to deal serious damage." ”
Kevin scratched his head in frustration, the Duke and the Prince were not satisfied with such a result!
Prince Rimako said again: "Magic Cannon...... It's amazing! If there are a little more of them, the enemy will not be able to organize them at all. However, after the enemy is reduced to zero, there is a lot of trouble. ”
"The Magic Fire Bullet and the Magic Fire Barrel are powerful, but the fireball is slow, the accuracy is poor, and the reload time is slow. Even if the damage of the Magic Guide Gun is doubled, it must hit the vital point in order to effectively kill the enemy. I think you need more new things in your magic weapon system, Duke. ”
Li Qixin said that Prince Ruimac is indeed worthy of being a military strategist in the new era who started with a magic guide gun, and quickly evolved from the initial queue to shoot to the breastwork, and now it has developed into trenches, anti-slope positions, and in-depth defense. And because this system is initially taking shape, it in turn requires corresponding new weapons.
"Ruimako, you can't have any weapons to fight any more battles, magic weapons are just an extension of people, and where they can't be extended for the time being, as long as there are people, there is a solution. ”
Li Qi said in a student-like tone, and Rimac listened respectfully.
The two had never met before, and the Seventy-Fourth Legion of Krimako was the first army to fight entirely with new magic weapons. Through the little dragon girl and Zolde, Li Qi taught the key points and combat styles of the magic guide gun, magic fire bullet, and magic fire barrel to Rimako. In Rimaco's mind, Li Qi is almost half of his mentor.
Usually, everyone is polite to the duke and prince, and when it comes to magic weapons and war styles, Rimac considers himself a disciple.
"You've done a good job before, realizing that soldiers no longer need to march forward with their heads held high, so you have built breastwalls and dug trenches with magic apprentices in the legion. Realizing that it is difficult to deal with the opponent's stealth class and advanced ranged units, the Paladin is deployed as the protection of key units, and then the ranged units such as the Ranger Hunter are used to suppress the opponent. Realizing that even a trench could not withstand the opponent's spell damage at close range, he came up with an anticline position. ”
"Now you lack the strength to drive out the enemy who threatens the forward position in one go, and you can't do anything until the weapons are updated?"
Rimacko said embarrassedly, "I've also tried some methods, such as organizing stealth professionals to carry out counter-assaults, but the casualties are too high. If you use the caster, it is easy to get hurt by mistake, and the caster's cost is too high......"
"You can't organize a stormtrooper without a submachine gun?"
Li Qi nodded at him and said, "Arm those low-level knights and paladins with heavy armor, you don't need to completely sweep the enemy, just block the gap." ”
"It is a very urgent situation to send out personnel to counter-attack, and we have to be prepared accordingly in advance. A complete fortification needs to have more arrangements that hinder the opponent's advance and disrupt the opponent's formation. Your legion must not only have building mages, but also civil druids and even thorny wild druids. ”
Li Qi asked: "What are the advantages of the war style formed mainly by magic guide guns, magic fire cannaries, and even magic guide cannons?"
Rikako said timidly: "The first is the numerical advantage of organizing more professionals, the second is the firepower advantage of the magic weapon in range and coverage, and then ......"
"Then there's the sustained superiority of the battle," Richie adds: "In previous wars, we could tell the difference between victory and defeat with a few face-to-face encounters, or one or two charges. And the numerical and firepower advantage we have can make the war more protracted, that is, the longer we fight, the more we have an advantage. ”
Rimac suddenly said: "I understand! It seems that I don't understand the new style of war thoroughly enough." ”
Then he said worriedly: "The ice mage who appeared today honestly scared me a lot. If that guy is a little stronger, a little smarter, and first floods the trench with the Rainstorm technique, and then a freezing storm that freezes everyone in the trench, we can only stare dryly. ”
"So we need to work more on the details," says Rich, "for example, the trench work should be more elaborate and take into account drainage." Barriers such as protective nets can be used to effectively weaken group attacks, etc. ”
Rimako nodded, "Yes, in the end, what I hope is that smaller protective barriers can be invented, so that the war will become more complicated, more protracted, and more fearful." ”
When a smaller mobile protective barrier is invented, Finn's war style should fully evolve to a trench warfare similar to the World War I era in the Earth world, which is really a terrifying war.
Li Qi thought about it for a moment, and didn't talk to Rhemak about further development.
Fein has its own characteristics of Finn, and does not necessarily strictly follow the laws of war in the earth world. And it's not good to pull out the seedlings to help them grow, so let's let Ruimako grow step by step into a master of trench warfare positional warfare.
"That...... Duke", Rhemak rubbed his hands, becoming expectant Aiai.
"No way", Li Qi spread his hands: "The nine-fold magic cannon is a test model, and it has not yet been finalized." And fifty or sixty thousand gold bushels for one is enough for everyone in your legion to buy another magic guide gun, are you sure your legion can afford to equip it?"
was broken by the truth, Ruimac simply lost his face, and said with a sneer: "Jin Buer is good to say, now my father is eager to let me inherit the throne." Of course, I don't do it, and it's too boring to rule the kingdom compared to leading a war. Anyway, when this cannon comes out, leave me at least two. The quadruple rate magic cannon is good for field combat, but if you bombard a large protective barrier, the power is a little worse......"
Li Qi made a condition: "Before you leave, give me a copy of the Seventy-Fourth Legion, then it will be no problem." ”
Ruimac said excitedly: "Deal!"
The two of them finished muttering, and looked at Kevin at the same time.
The young jazz is creepy, and there is a feeling that he has been stripped naked and carefully examined for size......
Richie asked, "Is he okay?"
Rimaco hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Sir is still serving by the Duke's side, and the Legion Commander should find a ...... Vulgar. I left the legion in the hands of an old knight from a military background, who was only responsible for tactical research and battlefield command. ”
"Vulgar guy?"
A figure flashed through Richie's mind, and he felt that it was time to tap into that guy's potential.
"Richie ——!"
A pleasant crunch sounded, and the four-player duo of Aurora, Fini, Ellie, and Karin returned, all bouncing around like deer (except Karin), their faces flushed after full activity, and their emotions were unusually high.
Finney flaunted: "I knocked down twenty-six!"
Ellie stretched out four fingers, and made a positive and negative comparison: "Hiss~"
Karin shrugged in human form: "It's boring, a hundred of that kind of goods is nothing." ”
Aurora was also like a child: "I have counted all the things you have struck and flattened, seventy-two! Half of them are mine! I made you bigger than an elephant!"
"Compared to this," Karin said, pulling out a bamboo shoot and nibbling on it, "Let's talk about what the supper should be when I go back, since it's a celebration of victory, it has to be a little special." ”
Finney was thinking about someone, certainly not out of concern: "What about Tina?"
"She should be on her way", Li Qi laughed, "She can't compare to kill people like you, but she may save more people than you killed." ”8)
