In fact, when the number of people reaches a certain level, there is no difference in the eyes of people, whether it is a thousand or two thousand, as long as they do not stand on a high place and overlook, it will bring people a considerable sense of oppression, especially for rookies who have just entered the battlefield.

But...... Sinan Pei is not a rookie! When he was in Cape, he really went to the battlefield and saw countless veterans who died tragically!

Although this experience was only less than half a year, in this half a year, what Si Nanpei encountered could really be called a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

In the face of these mere 2,000 Jenova soldiers, he did not have any fear.

The only thing he lacked was some command experience, and in Capet he had guest appearances as artillery commander and "navy" commander, but he had no experience leading troops alone, but he had an experienced commander Red by his side, and he was more experienced than the Jenova on the other side in the rest of the battle.

While the Jenova people were slowly advancing, Sinampei stood still and stopped the army behind the trenches dug in advance.

That's right, Sinampei deliberately ordered the construction of anti-tank trenches according to the width of the earth's anti-tank trenches, and his mere six or seven hundred men could not withstand the charge of cavalry, although he knew that the Jenova might not have cavalry, but he had to defend against it. What if? What if the Jenovas hired hundreds of cavalry from where? According to the firepower configuration of Sinampei, he immediately knelt down.

In dealing with cavalry, the arquebus of this era was inferior to the crossbow......

Next, Sinampe will use the range advantage of his weapon to shoot at the Jenova people at this distance.

The situation was the same as Sinampei expected, at this distance, the Jenovas could not attack the mercenaries brought by Sinampei at all. The arrows fired from the crossbow in their hands completely lost their kinetic energy and fell as soon as they reached Sinampe's position.

"Looks like that stranger really has some skills...... Cross that trench and continue the attack, and the short-range combat is completely superior to our army!" ordered the commander of Jenova.

At the same time, Sinampei also ordered, "It's time to use our artillery! While using the trenches to delay the opponent's movement, we should also scare and scare them." ”

In fact, these cannons in Si Nanpei's hand can only be used to scare people. The lethality is worrying, but the effect of destroying the formation is not small.

Even if the Jenova people didn't have the concept of a skirmish line at all when facing Sinampei, Sinampe would be able to beat them into a skirmish......

He still has a mine in his hand!

At the same time as Sinan Peifu sneered, the Jenovas, who crossed the trench and were about to shoot at Sinan Pei's mercenaries, stepped on the pressure mine......

There is a cloud in "The Book of Fire Dragon": "The bombing is made of pig iron, on an empty stomach, and the medicine is put into a small bamboo tube." Penetrate the fire line inside, use a long line to penetrate the fire groove outside, choose the only way to go, bury dozens of holes in the pit, the medicine groove is connected to the steel wheel, and the soil is covered, so that the thief does not know, and the engine is moved. Shaken up, the iron was like flying. Flames ...... sky"

Sinan Pei temporarily summoned craftsmen to make zuò, which is the most primitive pressure mine, but now it seems that the effect is unexpectedly good.

Sinampei had already seen the toothy grinning expression of the Jenova people on the other side in the binoculars.

"So this hasn't happened in Oggenia yet...... Also, on Earth, primitive mines have always been the patent of the Celestial Empire. It was only during the Russo-Japanese War that Russia invented modern landmines. Sinan Pei smiled, it seems that there is no problem here.

Although there were not many casualties among the Jenova due to the lack of firepower, the aggrieved spirit of being pressed and beaten in various ways made the Jenova people demoralized.

According to Sinampei's estimate. Of the 2,000 Jenova soldiers, the battle should have ended with only 800 casualties, but the number was less than he had expected, and when there were only about 400 casualties, the Jenova were scattered......

This made Si Nanpei grin, compared with the volunteer army on the Korean battlefield, this army composed of so-called "citizens" was too incapable of fighting! Putting aside the tactical level for the time being, this will to fight is really weak enough.

In fact, this is Si Nan Pei's misunderstanding, on the real front line, the Jenova people are not short of elites who can fight tough battles, but the Selman Empire in the east involves most of the energy of this commercial city-state, and Lelan City is just a fat meat that can be eaten casually in their eyes, and this time two thousand people came, and it was already the governor of the Republic who paid more attention to Cheng Dù because of Si Nan Pei here......

Sinampe's fame is far greater than he thinks, at least because his technical skills have spread throughout Eugenia.

Those new weapons of Capet have been heard of by people all over the continent. And some of the samples brought back by the Jenova mercenaries have long attracted the attention of the army of the republic.

If it weren't for the geographical location of Leland City, then the Jenova people would even hire Sinampe to Jenova as a technical advisor.

The short battle lasted less than three hours before the Jenovas were scattered, but not to the point of collapse, and the Genova commander was still able to gather the defeated troops in his hands.

Sinan Pei did not pursue, he did not have this capital. But he sent messengers to convey to the other side: "Give up this thought, the emperor and the pope are watching." ”

Of course, this sentence has no deterrent effect on an officer, but the top brass of the republic should be able to understand it.

The crisis from Jenova has been lifted for the time being, but on the other hand, the crisis from within and from the north has just emerged......

An army dressed in yellow crossed the tall mountains from the northern part of the empire to this Salanyi, and although the long journey left traces on their faces, it could not hide the excitement on the faces of their leaders.

"How far are we from Lelan City?" asked an older, richly dressed young man to the people around him.

"Forty-three kilometers, Your Highness. ”

"Very good, right now, Lelan City is mine!"

"But is this really good, Your Highness, aren't we here to come to the aid of His Majesty the Pope?"

"It's not a big deal to take over a city by the way, and they will compromise - as long as the pressure on Selman does not abate, they, including the Pope, will not fall out with us, and the whole world of the Celestial Sect needs our protection. Without our army that resisted Selman on the frontal battlefield, where would they be living happily now?!" (To be continued......
