Chapter 246, The Battle in the Suburban Town
For the army of the Luman Kingdom, the knights don't really care much about the deaths and injuries of cannon fodder;
But the damage of the Sentinel Mecha will hurt.
Dead people are still on the one hand, a sentry mecha is destroyed, and under the feudal political system of the Luman Kingdom, it is almost equivalent to the bankruptcy and demotion of a small knight family.
Without the Sentinel Mecha, what else is it called a knight?
There were only about a hundred 'knights' who attacked the town this time. So far, at least twenty Sentinel mechs are gone.
For the rest, morale is badly damaged.
And even those two Knight Titans were reluctant.
The Ranger Knight Titan is equipped with a shield generator, but the power is not particularly large, after all, the size of five meters and two is placed here, and it is not extravagant enough to put a miniaturized generator, so with a normal scale, the load of the shield generator is also very large and difficult to top for the Ranger level.
The shield generator, which has been emasculated for a lot of strength, can't withstand too much bombardment from 155 howitzers.
In fact, after these four rounds of shelling, both Knight Titans' shield generators were extinguished.
So far, it's certainly not a big deal. After an hour and a half, if you don't take any more beatings, the shield generator will start working again; Or now, they can force themselves and overload the shield generator.
At the same time, the strength of the Knight Titan itself, after a few cannons, is nothing.
They had the opportunity to take advantage of the gap in fire and stride forward.
It is impossible for the Confederate Expeditionary Force to hold back the defensive positions built by the barricades and houses of the people. Wherever rapid-fire guns and laser cannons are pointed, positions will fly into the sky, and this firepower is not a concept.
But the two big nobles still retreated.
What about the expeditionary forces that killed all those alliances? In the process, what if a Ranger Knight Titan is broken?
Not to mention that it is broken, even if it is an overload shield generator, it will cause the generator to fail subsequently; Or the mecha was directly hit with a few shots, and there was damage, or even just lost the patent leather...... That's heart-wrenching!
The price of maintenance and repair of this big guy is also expensive!
If something goes wrong with this big machine, even if it is a big noble, any earl, marquis, prince, it will not be easy to use.
After realizing that the Alliance Expeditionary Force did have the ability to hurt them, although they knew, they rushed forward with an iron heart, and the two Knight Titans rushed into the town, that is, the gods blocked and killed the gods and Buddhas, and with their breakthrough, the kingdom army followed up, and the battle was basically won.
But they eventually chose to retreat.
700,000 tax coins, for a noble family, how many years does it take to save up? What's more, if you lose the Knight Titan, I am afraid that you will soon lose your status as a great nobleman, or at least be seriously injured. In this case, the 700,000 tax coins may not have a chance to be saved.
To put it bluntly, these two people driving Titans are big nobles, not the kind of barefoot men. For them, war is a means of profit, a way to fight for merit, not something that really puts the life and death of the whole family into it.
So why bother?
……
The two Knight Titans retreated, and the pressure on the defense line of the Alliance Expeditionary Force was suddenly reduced.
When they first came out and exerted their power, the old duo of Perbov and Leroy was indeed quite nervous.
Although they were hastily repulsed, and there was not much strength at all, but even so, the blow suffered by the Alliance Expeditionary Force was not small.
At least four hundred people, killed or injured by these two machines
The main thing is that I am inexperienced and not prepared enough.
Earlier, a round of 32 rockets fired by these two war machines caught off guard, destroying more than a dozen League artillery pieces and causing hundreds of artillery casualties.
Subsequently, the rapid-fire howitzers and laser cannons in the charge, after destroying several positions, also caused more than 200 casualties.
After suffering losses, they have learned some lessons.
For example, in such a situation where artillery would be threatened, the carrier trucks would never be decoupled from the artillery, and after a few rounds of rapid-fire artillery fire, they would quickly switch positions.
For example, in the environment of a small town, the artillerymen will try to cover and cover the shelled positions.
For example, in the defensive positions on the periphery, the number of combat groups at a single defensive point should be reduced, but the number of defensive strongholds should be increased. On the premise of maintaining the density and layering of firepower as much as possible, we should disperse our forces to avoid excessive casualties when they are hit by firepower.
These methods can effectively reduce the threat of the two Knight Titans.
But that's not enough.
Hold the main position, that's the most basic.
Before that, they had received news that the Doge's mother had been attacked, and that Lacroxia was evacuating with her outside the city.
Although they repelled the enemy's attacks many times, whether it was Pobeouf or Le Roy, they all deeply understood that the goal of their mission here was to ensure the safety of Ms. Wang Qi, far away from their hometown.
It is not enough to simply repel the enemy's attack.
However, when the two Knight Titans ended hastily, the two of them were also keenly aware of the problem that these two most terrible war machines had a weak will to fight.
This is a good opportunity.
So, after a brief discussion between the two, they handed over this important task to the 38th Brigade. They divided the main armored forces and made a quick assault.
The scouts who probed found out the location of the two retreating Knight Titans, and clearly saw that they were loaded with new long-range rockets with the help of heavy engineering aircraft.
- It's hard to see it, it's easy to take a telescope and find two big guys six meters high.
Looking at it like this, it seems that they don't plan to continue the hard attack, but rely on the range advantage of the rockets equipped by the Knight Titan to far exceed the range advantage of the 155 howitzer, and carry out safe bombing from a distance.
But don't be too afraid of this.
The Ranger Knight Titan's rocket launcher is quite powerful, but it only has a reload of sixteen rounds. Every time you reload, it is very troublesome, and you have to rely on engineering machines to do it, and the density of fire is very problematic.
Then carry it first.
The main force of the 38th Brigade, which rushed out to drag racing, quickly rushed out of the town according to the news brought back by the scouts, chose a road that would not run into the Knight Titan, successfully broke through, and received Ms. Wang Qi, who was protected by Lacroxia.
On the way back, the two Knight Titans went crazy and got stuck on the way back.
That's why Perbov wants to lead the main force of the 37th Brigade and the remaining troops of the 38th Brigade to go out to meet together.
