Chapter 21: A New Way to Play the Mechanics
Rows of soldiers on the ground holding grenadiers, in front of them at a uniform angle inclined short steel short tubes sprayed fierce flame airflow, "boom" - just like the sound of the high-pressure gas spewing out of champagne expanded a hundred times, this row of small artillery did not pay attention to accuracy, but unified coverage and firing, instantly covering the front of the infantry, iron and fire shrouded, the oncoming cavalry group, splashed cast iron shrapnel, has not yet landed, The soldiers, whose hands were already covered with nervous sweat behind the rock barrier, fired a volley of bullets at the cavalry who had suddenly slowed down twenty or thirty meters away.
Fierce and rapid fire strikes, the most intense firepower at the most opportune time. Striving to destroy the opponent with the most effective firepower, Ren Di looked at a platoon of grenadiers and riflemen who inflicted a fierce blow on the incoming cavalry, and Ren Di estimated that after the initial firepower, at least more than 50 percent of the cavalry vanguard, which accounted for one-third of the total number of cavalry, was killed. Such a casualty figure in a short period of time is enough to make any army in this world lose the will to fight.
The battle that Ren Di saw was commanded by Andrew, and it had completely different command characteristics from Johor Bahru, when the enemy's momentum was the strongest, that is, when the weakness exposed to the firepower was the most, it was time to use the copper wall to suddenly fire to the enemy to create a chilling feeling. Andrew's grenadiers did not strike accurately, but covered fire through coordination with the infantry.
From here, Ren Di understands the gap between himself and Andrew, and he coordinates the various arms too well. Johnson and Jack are the same fighting styles, but this coordination timing is more than a cut worse than Andrew's.
Although he knows that he has been targeted by Andrew, he still has to learn from the good things of others. Ren Di forcibly eliminated his bad feelings towards Andrew. Of course, it is better to sigh to yourself a few times. But sigh to sigh, the work still has to be done.
Ren Di picked up the loudspeaker and shouted a series of data to the "Longbow" mechanics who had squatted down behind him. These robots have artificial intelligence that can infuriate Earth scientists. Ren Di understood that the brains of these tall mechanics with transmission rods and gears and small steam boilers were magical creations at all.
"Thorn" is like a pressure cooker deflating, these squatting down are a little five meters tall The robots heard Ren Di's explosion, their blue eyes began to flash, and their arms began to shake, holding the thick barrel according to Ren Di's order, or adjusting the azimuth angle up or left and right. Such a row of mechanical soldiers was like Ren Di's palm, and adjusted after Ren Di reported the shooting dimensions.
The sound of heavy drumming cannons rang out, and a heavy shell of twenty-five kilograms fell across a distance of one hundred and fifty meters in the group of knights who were struggling to advance in the preset fire zone of Andrew's troops. The twenty-five-kilogram heavy mortar has created a record in the history of World War II on Earth to penetrate the armor of the Benzi Azuki Shodou tank. Now the blow inflicted on these cavalrymen is devastating.
After three rounds of rapid-fire shells, a platoon of robots stood up under Ren Di's order and ran towards another battlefield two hundred meters away.
Upon reaching the second zone in need of fire support, the mechs crouched down in a parade of formations, and ten seconds later the mechs' artillery positions were again bent and heavy shells rose again, sending a spark of death in another unit with a large number of armored swordsmen.
Compared with the seven or eight degree steam tracked gun carriage two months ago, although the power of the shells and the ammunition load of the shells in the range were sacrificed a little. But the victory in mobility was won. In less than 20 minutes of battle, less than 40 percent of the longbow artillery of the entire vanguard regiment was mastered, resulting in 70 percent of the artillery casualties of the entire battlefield.
Hit fast, accurately. This advantage is also unattainable by Andrew, and of course if Andrew had a calculator in his hand, he might be better than Rendy.
Twenty minutes in front of Andrew, who had a poker face, Ren Di gave a military salute. With the interference of stupid teammates, the level is dropping, and once the opponent returns, the elite will only be confused for a while. Andrew nodded to Ren Di. Now Ren Di can't see Andrew's intentions again.
"His city is back again" Ren Di said silently in his heart, and said on his lips: "Second Lieutenant Andrew, the fire support operation has ended, do you want to pursue it now?" Without waiting for a gaffe sneering answer. On the contrary, Andrew seemed very calm and patiently explained to Rendi: "Fifteen days later, Giacomo will arrive with the combined legions of Miana and Perata, and our mission will be completed soon, and there will be no need to risk losing our living force to carry out other superfluous actions." β
Ren Di nodded and said, "Everything is up to your arrangement." β
After Ren Di left, a white traverser (Johnson) came over and whispered to Andrew, "What bad is he thinking?" β
Andrew looked at Johnson speechlessly. After so many days of calm thinking, Andrew realized a truth, "Ren Di, an evil guy who lives under centralized rule, now relies on this military system that is also centralized. Because of the current military system of Miana, he who also belongs to the command position of this military system, cannot deal with Ren Di out of line. If you change to a society that travels through the pre-flexible legal game (the social laws of Hope Country are like spells used by wizards in Harry Potter) for lawyers. Andrew was sure he could definitely play Rendi. And now Ren Di is hiding under this system to resist his own calculations. It's just as annoying as a mouse."
But this question can't always be said to two of my slightly naΓ―ve white teammates: "The system of Miyana in this game world is evil and centralized." I can't represent freedom under this system and kill this cunning yellow-skinned monkey. "If that's the case, the two white traversers can't be so negative as to Miana's supreme command.
Andrew's headache about his teammates, Ren Di doesn't know. For using his more mature thinking about two white people to do something. Ren Di didn't think about it. In the face of Andrew, who came out of the elite class in the original society, Ren Di has always had great pressure. This IQ and EQ advantage of his own can only prevent himself from being calculated, and if he wants to calculate the opposite team, he will be noticed by Andrew, and he will plan to let Miana know that he is bad, that is, if he doesn't die, he won't die.
It's okay to be bad, but it's a sin to be found to be bad. Andrew, who knows this well, came out of an environment where lawyers can turn guilt into innocence. In this regard, Ren Di, who is a small citizen, really doesn't dare to play with Andrew.
So now Ren Di is also waiting for Giacomo's arrival. It's too much work to do things under Andrew.
Time passed little by little, and it seemed that the main army of Miyana was approaching step by step, and the blows of Fliglo to the vanguard were more and more intense. The most intense was a massive offensive of thirty-five combat units.
In this offensive, all the troops of Andrew, Johor Bahru, and Ren Di were carried down. Four steam cannon formations were rarely dropped on the opposite side. A total of forty guns suppressed the vanguard of Miana in terms of fire density.
Under the bombardment of heavy artillery, the rock-made fortifications turned into debris flying with the light of the fire. At this time of crisis, Andrew handed over the three long bows on hand to Ren Di. Since then, all the artillery groups of the vanguard have finally arrived in Ren Di's hands. The situation changed back, Ren Di was in charge of fire support, and Andrew was in charge of front-line combat command.
As two teams of 167 grenadiers and 50 longbow mechs rounded the losing lines of fire of the vanguard and circled the rugged hillside towards the Fliglo artillery position. Hilari, riding on a horse, held up his binoculars and saw the longbow mechanics walking on the hillside.
After so many days of fighting, Fliglo also knew about the artillery of the Longbow Mechanic. However, it cannot be replicated, because in the whole of Van Xi, only Miana, which borders Erin, has the technology to build a mechanical corps.
The range of the steam cannon was twice that of the longbow, so there was a distance of two hundred meters that required braving artillery fire. A loud "boom" exploded from behind Ren Di forty meters behind, and the rocks on the hillside rolled down and hit the metal thigh of a longbow mechanic, knocking out an electric spark from the metal leg, and the mechanical soldier lost his balance and rolled down.
This kind of loss was inevitable, but it was still within Ren Di's tolerance, when he came down from the high place of the hill, Ren Di saw the distribution of the opponent's artillery, Ren Di, who was huddled in the back basket of the mechanical soldier, was not noticed by the enemy, and Hilary, who was concerned about the Miyana attack artillery, could only see the steel mechanical soldier walking on the front. It's impossible to tell which mech has someone standing behind it.
The longbow maneuvered too fast. And too scattered. Despite the best efforts of Fliglo's artillery, they could not stop the troops coming down the hillside. But the longbow was also disconnected from the infantry behind.
Hilary took off the white gloves that held the reins, and the saber was raised. Five battle squads of armored swordsmen rushed towards the mountain. In the face of this chaos, Ren Di looked back at the infantry behind him, and the nearest one was sixty meters away, this mistake would not have been made by Andrew, but commanding the artillery, Ren Di had forgotten this layer of troop coordination in the tense battle.
Ren Di looked at the position where the longbow mechanics were standing, his face showed embarrassment, he was entangled for a moment, and reported several approximate elevation angle data to his lying longbow mechanics.
To Ren Di's surprise, the mechanical soldier with Ren Di flashed red in his eyes and questioned Ren Di. He asked Ren Di with the jumping code, "Do you want to squat down?" Ren Di didn't have the time to marvel at the kindness of this artificial intelligence, but emphasized two words again: "Immediately, execute." The mechanical soldier that Ren Di sat down instantly transmitted to the longbows around him through the code.
To everyone's surprise, the Longbow Mech single-handedly took out the heavy cannonball from his back and stuffed it into the barrel of the cannon in his arm without crouching. The two pendulum pendulums on the barrel that hang down in a semicircular protractor indicate the elevation angle of the mechanic's arm holding the barrel aloft.
Dozens of mechanics stood and stuffed heavy shells into the long barrel of their left arm. The menacing muzzle of the cannon was aimed at the armored soldiers who rushed up towards the mountain peak. Marching and firing cannons is taboo in the combat regulations of the longbow mechs of Miana. If it weren't for Ren Di's forced order, the mechs wouldn't have done it.
The swordsmen who charged towards the Longbow Gate on the mountain watched in horror as the mechs held their cannons with their barrels, as if they were about to fall downhill with their unified bodies. However, the forward mechs did not fall, and the barrel of their left arm opened fire, and the tremendous force of the shock pushed the mechs backwards, and they were straightened.
However, this round of artillery-level direct fire brought disaster to hundreds of armored soldiers from 90 meters away, and this round of shooting was not as accurate as crouching to shoot. The mechs sway violently from the reaction force of the shot. Let the error of the drop point reach 20 meters. The error of shooting at the enemy more than 100 meters away is 20 meters, which is a pitiful low accuracy. But it was a terrible shock to the troops who faced the artillery salvo head-on. The rocks from the explosion fell in unison, causing the swordsmen who were climbing up on their backs to tremble and hold their heads. The roar of dozens of artillery pieces from a hundred meters away tore apart the army's courage to fight. Seeing that the unified mechanical soldiers continued to stuff shells into their barrels, as if they were about to do it again, the rout tide happened. The originally brave swordsmen pushed each other and ran down the hillside.
Ren Di was almost knocked down by the artillery thrust of the three-meter-high mechan, when he grasped the mechano, Ren Di looked at the group of steel monsters holding the barrel under his command, leaning forward while shooting freely ahead. I think the current style of painting is a bit wrong. It seems that this is not the set of the Terminator.
"Mobility, firepower, armor" Ren Di suddenly muttered these three words out of his mouth. "This is the mission of the tank." Ren Di said.
