Chapter 46 46 Drawing up plans

"bang! bang!" A round of artillery was shot down on the front line of the Dothan Empire and the Arrant Empire among the dense crowd. The densely packed army was cut by rampaging cannonballs, plowed out one after another bloody trail.

Alanhill's artillery rewrites the history of warfare, and it looks like the side with the artillery has the edge on the battlefield. The soldiers of the Arrant Empire are marching steadily, and they have seen the smile of the triumphant Goddess.

The phalanxes of the Dothan soldiers that were originally neat have become slanted at this moment, and the terrifying metal balls fell from the sky, landing on the crowd, splashing a foul wind and bloody rain.

The entire line of defense was collapsing, and Dothan's officers were powerless to stop the rout of their men. At this moment, they did not want to prevent such a collapse, because they themselves were among the collapsed crowd.

No one dared to face such a terrifying weapon, everyone thought that the Arrant Empire was backed by the Magic Empire, so the soldiers of Dothan were not only defeated by the momentum of the weapons, but also by them. The fear of magic was defeated.

"Did the Holy Demon Emperor abandon us?" An officer got up from the ground with blood on his face, crying and trying to retrieve his arm. His armoured arm was cut by a stream of heat, like butter cut by a hot knife.

A soldier struggled to get up, but found that his lower body was nowhere to be seen. He tried hard to make a cry, but found that he could only spit blood out of his mouth - soon he was motionless, lying with the surrounding corpses, making no sound.

Not far away, the army of the Arrant Empire was chanting slogans with neat steps, and with the beat of drums, step by step approached the battlefield that was already like hell on earth. In front of them, there is no enemy who has become an organic resistance, and some are just some crazy enemy army soldiers.

Countless long spears were laid flat and swept across whatever was in the way before them. Some soldiers who forgot to escape were quickly stabbed to the ground, and those Arrant soldiers were still advancing step by step, ignoring the corpses under their feet that had been stepped into the mud.

"Long live Arrant!" On the high slope, the soldiers who had not had time to participate in the crushing attack at this time, shouted like a mountain. Their flags fly in the columns in the sky, and their voices echo across the plains.

Riding on the tall horse, General Zorn pointed to the distant battle formation with his iron armored gloves, and asked his followers proudly: "Look! In the world of mortals, no one can Stop our army of the Arrant Empire!"

"Yes! Yes!" A general smiled flatteringly, holding General Zorn and said: "It's still your commander, the Arrant Empire, Under the leadership of you, General, I will surely reach the peak of the mortal empire."

"Hahahaha!" Zon laughed complacently, and the laughter didn't drift far before being violently overwhelmed. The drums of war were drowned out. He was triumphant, pulling on the reins of the war horse and said: "The Dothan Empire will definitely bring the matter to the Holy Demon Emperor's side, and want to sue us, saying that we are harboring advanced weapons and conspiracy to do something wrong... It's a pity that they never thought of it. , we have already sent the cannon to the Holy Demon Emperor country! hahahaha."

"Your Excellency is wise!" Generals, flattering and fawning in front of Zorn with nodded bows.

The smile on Zon's face was even greater when he heard these compliments, and the whole person became even more proud. He was in a good mood, so he opened his mouth and issued a more radical order: "Messaging troops! We don't need prisoners!" Slowly moving towards the end of the horizon. The First Stage battle between the Arrant Empire and the Dothan Empire ended in a sweeping victory for the Arrant Empire.

In this battle, Zorn led the army of 100,000 Arrant Empire, and swept the 70,000 army of Dothan Empire with no difficulty. And the victory that killed at least 5,000 people and defeated 70,000 people, the price paid by the Arrant Empire was very small, not even 200 wounded.

The red-clothed cannon, which has just appeared on the battlefield, has already shown a huge might that surpasses this era. It is precisely because of its good performance in this battle that General Zorn likes this weapon even more.

"Let the rear hold fast! This weapon should be equipped with every castle and every army!" Zon urged his horse forward and instructed a confidant beside him: "After the victory at this time, I think Dothan will surrender soon."

"When we get back! I want at least 300 new guns!" It's not that easy! They also have this kind of artillery... So the situation of the war, the impossible is so one-sided!"

...

"The Arrant Empire is comparable to our previous adversary. Not the same, they also have artillery!" Chris backed his hands and reviewed his border defense plan for the second time: "We have 2 reserve regiments on the southern border, and these regiments cannot hold their defense lines. ."

"As long as Zorn leads his main force north, our frontier is at risk of being penetrated. This is a loss for us, because war destroys our well-paved roads, destroys us crops." Using his pointer, he pointed to the position of the guidance department's defense line on a very large and detailed map.

Because of more accurate measuring instruments and optical equipment like telescopes, Alanhill's drawing level has also improved tremendously. The fact that Chris can now use such a detailed map for strategic planning is also an intuitive manifestation of this progress.

"The best way is to let our main force go south ahead of time and gather on the border... Be ready for battle at any time." He used the pointer to mark the positions of the three main force groups in the rear. After a circle, he looked towards Vagron after speaking.

Vagron nodded, said: "Arrant's attack can only threaten the Serris area, which is very beneficial to us. We have assembled five regiments of troops, and we can build a defense line."

p>

"If it's just for defense, I predict that as long as three main regiments are present, they can block about 100,000 Arrant Empire soldiers near the southern part of Serris..." He used another pointer on the first and second lines. After making a gesture, it is obvious that he is still a little uncomfortable with this combat method.

Below, 10 group leaders came to the meeting, and 10 trainee group leaders, plus Dez and the others, densely packed a whole Conference Hall. Everyone is listening carefully to this time pre-war analysis meeting, or the second pre-war analysis meeting.

Every 20 days, Chris will hold such a combat assessment meeting, reviewing what kind of reinforcement his troops have received, and calculating how to allocate his troops.

If Zon's desire to go north to attack Alanhill was just a rough idea, then Chris' preparation for a fight with Arrant was already a very precise battle plan.

"Now, the second-line garrison regiment has also been equipped with 20 75mm caliber infantry guns and 300 rifles for training." A regiment commander raised his hand and said He put forward his own suggestion: "If we strengthen some weapons, I don't think the front-line defense will not be able to withstand the opponent's attack."

As the equipment of the second-line troops is improving day by day, Chris is forming More infantry regiments, some well-equipped regiments have been promoted to 8 regiments, 9 regiments, and 10 regiments, and the newly established troops have also filled the vacancies of the 11th to 13th regiments.

Each first-line infantry regiment is actually equipped with thousands of rifles and about 200 revolvers. With 20 artillery pieces, and more or less anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, the battle strength is actually not easy to assess.

Because none of them, including Chris, had commanded such a well-equipped unit with no shortage of ammunition. In the confrontation joint exercise, the teaching group once set a terrifying record of 1 group defeating 7 second-line garrison groups on the opposite side.

Some statisticians even showed that if the teaching regiment had plenty of ammunition, it would not be difficult to defeat another 7 regiments. Encouraged by this result, many infantry regiments that were equipped with rifles and machine guns, They all felt that they could face up to ten times the strength of the enemy army head-on.

After the expansion, a regiment now has more than 2,500 officers and soldiers, so many middle-level commanders believe that as long as three second-line regiments are deployed on the border, even Arrant's troops cannot break through Alanhill the first border defense.

This line of defense consists of two parallel trenches and traffic trenches, and some cement bunkers have been reinforced in some areas-the reason why such a line of defense is prepared is mainly left over from training troops to build defense facilities. The "remains" are not intentional.

However, relying on this southern line of defense, Alanhill's military really felt that they could fight for every inch of land with the Arrant Empire.

"How about we have 4 garrison regiments to fight against the troops of the Arrant Empire going north? If we can withstand the opponent's attack, then we can have 5 main regiments lead the battle. The reserve team composed of 5 second-tier regiments fought back." Vagron was also tempted by this defensive plan, and asked Chris.

Chris thought about this defensive counterattack plan, and felt that it was indeed more comfortable than pure defense, so nodded said: "For the time being, let's set up a second set of combat plans, and we will discuss it at the next meeting. The third plan - our first attack plan!"

"Yes!" Everyone stood up, pressed their right hand to their chest, and raised their chin in response.
