Chapter 624 Rapid Fire!
Doss was so angry that several of the gold wine glasses in his hand were smashed.
The Griffin Knights and half of the Royal Knights were wiped out in one morning. This was an unprecedented defeat.
Not to mention the frightened infantry, who were now in a mess outside the city.
"Rearrange the campsite today and reorganize the team." Doss ordered in a deep voice, "We will set off at dawn tomorrow morning without giving them a chance to react."
"Also!" Doss thought of a person, "That Baron Harry Potter provided false information, allowing him to go on the road with dignity."
The chaos in the army of the Kingdom of Madeira spread to Eugene. At the desk, someone advised him to take advantage of the chaos and attack now.
Eugene shook his head and said: "No, we want to defeat them head-on, and at the same time we need to understand their combat effectiveness."
He was a little cautious. Defeating the enemy by beating up the drowned dog is good, but defeating them Enemies arrayed head-on gain greater reputation.
Eugene's father was a famous commander-in-chief of the Kingdom of Gaul. He wanted to make a career and surpass his father.
The battle report came quickly. In this battle, more than 20 people of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment were slightly injured. In the end, five people were seriously injured in the close combat with the tin cans, and no one died.
Eugene ordered to be more vigilant to avoid a desperate sneak attack.
But the Madeira army had no such fighting power, and the rest of the day was spent in peace.
At dawn the next day, Metzger checked the work status of each post at the mountaintop post.
Yesterday, an injured griffin knight made an emergency landing here and became a prisoner of their company.
In order not to expose the mine, Metzger had the prisoners tied with ropes and lowered from the cliff when it was dark.
As a result, the young captive thought that these pagans were going to hang him on the mountain. His legs were weak. When he got down to the foot of the mountain, he smelled of feces and urine. The person who picked up the goods directly threw him into the river to wash it off. .
“The person who invented the canned eggs is really a genius.” Crom regretted as he opened the can, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Fork out a braised egg, one for each person in the class.
There was still some brine in the jar. He smelled it, covered it and handed it to Zikkel and said: "Here, take it to your little lover to marinate the meat."
Zikr took the jar and put it beside him.
When they finished breakfast and came to the post to start changing shifts, it was just getting dark, and Metzger was already carefully observing the enemy's direction in front of the telescope.
Metzger held a piece of biscuit in his mouth, and the telescope slowly swept across.
“Report to the headquarters,” he said, “There are a large number of people and horses moving in the woods ahead, and it is suspected that the enemy is dispatching on a large scale.”
The communication troops who were preparing to hand over the shift immediately reported the situation. .
Not long after, the sound of Eugene eating something rang through the communicator: "What's going on now?"
Metzger went over and said, "I'm Metzger, reporting to the commander. I found something in the woods to the west. There were a large number of birds flying, ranging from west To the east."
Eugene drank the instant noodle soup and said: "Understood, continue to observe."
As Metzger judged, the Madeira army was in the woods. While marching, many people yawned.
Yesterday, they were first frightened by the rout ahead, and then they spent another day changing the location of their campsite. They finally had a meal and slept, but were woken up in the middle of the night to prepare for dispatch.
Many people were exhausted physically and mentally from today's errands, praying to Mother Earth not to be chosen to test the enemy's defenses.
To attack the enemy's defensive position is not to rush forward as soon as it comes up. You must first send unlucky people to test and find out the enemy's combat effectiveness and loopholes in the defense line before launching a large-scale attack.
This kind of thing is only done by small aristocrats without a backing. Forget it if you die, if you win, you will have the capital to hold on to your thighs.
Metzger has been standing behind the telescope, reporting on the enemy's progress from time to time.
"The enemy has come out of the woods and is assembling a shield vehicle."
"The enemy has a strange gun that's longer than half a man and a half, and it's mounted on a shield cart."
"Let me go, what is that? Twelve guns that are one and a half men tall mounted together?"
"The enemy has a small cannon like the gunpowder cannon of the Ghazi Empire."
The intelligence staff of the headquarters immediately found relevant content from the earlier armaments intelligence of the Ghazi Empire. , verified with Metzger and quickly sent to various ministries.
The one and a half man tall is a gunpowder gun from the Ghazi Empire. Frederick called it a gun. The bullets are as big as eggs. The effective range is three to five hundred meters. The rate of fire is about one shot every three minutes. .
The small cannon should be called the "Apple Cannon". It is named after the cannonballs are as big as apples. It has an effective range of six to eight hundred meters and is still quite lethal at one thousand meters.
These two weapons appeared in the army of the Kingdom of Gaul, and caused considerable losses to Archduke Suarez when they first appeared.
According to Metzger's estimate, the opponent has about 500 guns and 30 apple cannons. Judging from their clothes and flags, they should be elite troops such as the Royal Guards.
After thinking for a while, Eugene gave Metzger an order: "Metzger, from now on, the artillery and rocket launchers are under your command. Find where they store their gunpowder."
The Wesson Army is Being a veteran in this industry, he knows exactly how to surprise the enemy.
Metzger replied: "Yes, I will command the artillery to destroy the enemy's gunpowder as soon as possible."
Eugene continued to give orders to his subordinates to prepare.
Metzger continued to report the number of enemy soldiers. There were about 30,000 combat soldiers, followed by an atmosphere group of 60,000 to 70,000 peasant soldiers.
"God of Light!" Metzger suddenly shouted, "How did they get four big guys!" Eugene was arranging defense matters and immediately asked: "Metzger, what are you doing? Guy?”
Metzger responded immediately and the intelligence staff found the relevant data.
The "Cock Cannon" of the Ghazi Empire can put a rooster in the barrel, and has an effective range of 2,000 to 2,500 meters.
Eugene just gave Metzger the focus.
At this time Mary contacted Eugene and asked how the battle was going.
Eugene said that the enemy is currently approaching the position and there has been no exchange of fire yet.
Mary said that the new Osmaga army was ready and could launch an attack on the flank of the Madeira army if necessary.
Both parties keep in touch.
The Madeira army organized its troops on the east side of the woods and began to set off towards the Wesson Army's defense line.
Doss was wearing a set of glittering armor and sitting on a tall horse, full of confidence.
Not only do I have a large number of people, but I also have new weapons supported by the Kingdom of Gaul. I will definitely be able to regain the position in the next battle.
The army stopped one kilometer in front of the spit out bunker. Doss's requirements were not high. Today he only needed to destroy the bunker and capture the high ground.
All the large and small artillery in the army are concentrated in the front, and the spearmen are protecting the front. On the two wings are the most powerful nobles, and in the rear are the mages.
Doss intended to let the usually unruly nobles take a good look at the power of the artillery, and to shock the restless ones.
After the artillery positions were set up, the group came behind the four largest rooster cannons.
At this time Doss heard the two groups arguing.
Doss went over and asked: "What's going on?"
A young baron talked a lot, and Doss understood.
The instructors sent by the Kingdom of Gaul requested that the gunpowder be scattered and piled up, but the officers of the Guards of Madeira felt that it was too troublesome to travel a long way.
Doss thought for a moment and then said to the Gallic instructors: "It doesn't matter. Wesson's army doesn't know how powerful we are. If you feel it's hard, you can go back to the castle for tea."
Instructor Gaul, you look at me, I look at you, I feel like I am trapped in a cocoon.
In order to brag at first, they said that Wesson's guns were powerful, but the short barrels were not as powerful as the guns, let alone the artillery.
Doss was convinced after seeing the comparison between the power of the gun and the folding shotgun of Duke Wesson's foreign trade. He was full of confidence at this time.
What else can the instructors say, just run away.
At this moment, Metzger asked Eugene after reporting the discovery of the enemy's gunpowder storage point: "Commander, do you want to play a big one."
Eugene thought he wanted a big one. Fireworks, even such a trivial matter, I have to ask for permission, and he said angrily: "Now the artillery is all under your command, you can do whatever you want."
"When the gunpowder explodes, I will let the 33rd regiment take advantage of the chaos to launch a charge, and you guide the artillery to provide fire support."
Metzger carefully observed the golden armor behind the enemy's artillery position through the telescope, thinking to himself now that But after Eugene said this, he gave the order: "Miss Qiwu, all departments, pay attention, Miss Feitian, all departments, target 100 horizontal bar area 86, all firepower rapid fire, one base!"
He repeated three times all over.
The Weisen Army has divided various areas into sections in front of the position. The firing parameters of artillery and rocket launchers have been set, and the firing data can be obtained by directly looking up the table.
Eugeot arranged for the 33rd Regiment to prepare for an opportunity to launch a charge after a big explosion occurred in the enemy's position, and then asked Metzger: "Why do we have to attack so many bases?"
He felt that just detonating the gunpowder and firing two or three shots would be enough.
The artillery shells are transported all the way, so we should save some money.
Metzger replied: "If my observation is correct, the king on the opposite side is next to the powder barrel behind the artillery position."
Eugene was stunned for a moment, and when the sound of cannon fire sounded Only then did he come back to his senses and remember that Metzger had the nickname "Emperor Killer" and he had specialized in killing high-ranking targets since his debut.
At this time, there was a thunderous sound outside, and the coffee in the cup shook slightly.
Both sides saw that after a loud noise, a huge column of white smoke shot straight into the sky.
Eugene immediately yelled into the communicator: "[Gaullic expletive]! Butcher, report the situation quickly!"
He was born in a top noble family and knew how to kill the opponent's king. What it means is that the information must be grasped as soon as possible.
Metzger replied: "There is too much smoke in the place where the explosion occurred, and the shelling has not stopped, so it is difficult to see clearly."
"Many people and horses fell around, and many people began to disperse. .”
Eugene couldn't control that much anymore, and immediately ordered: "Quick, the 33rd Regiment, the Cavalry Regiment, all the moving ones, let me catch up to the edge of the woods!"
Chief of Staff Erich asked: "Why don't you just take a breath? Annihilate them all? ”
< br>Eugene shook his head and said: "There are still too many enemies. If the elite troops stabilize their positions, there will be trouble."
"Be prepared to implement the third combat plan."
Egypt Rixi's eyes lit up, this plan is good.
