Chapter 17.joint work

In the realm before Renyu crossed over, because of certain historical issues and certain extra-territorial countries meddling in the matter, resulting in some issues of interests and principles, Renyu and the people of that place were not very kind to each other, but under normal circumstances, they would at most not speak to each other. Of course there might be cursing at each other online.

  If these two countries were the only ones in this traveling party, Renyu can assure you that he and Chimura Niiyama would be hawks in favor of fighting. But now? Under the aggressive pressure of the Anglo-American white-skinned ghost animal Andrew, Renyu was forced to make contact with Chimura Niiyama, and after a trial and error, both sides breathed a sigh of relief as they both carefully avoided topics that could cause conflict.

 “Andrew and I have had a bit of a disagreement, I wish to attack the enemy with a catapult in this mountainous battle, and I am unfamiliar with field combat, would Your Excellency be able to help, please.” After a few pleasantries, Renyu stated his purpose.Chimura Niiyama looked at Renyu with a hint of hesitation on his face.

  Renyu understands that Chimura Niiyama has had a less than stellar time under Andrew's leadership as well. Maybe Andrew was doing well on the surface, but the two remaining whites and the afro weren't so sure, and Renyu had seen Chimura Niiyama mocked several times by a fat white traveler for being a yellow-skinned monkey.

  Of course, just a few words like this is not likely to make Chimura Niiyama turn to Renyu, Andrew's calculation is correct, the hatred left over from the pre-crossing period is the biggest obstacle to the cooperation between the two travelers, Chimura Niiyama's rank is lower than Renyu's, Chimura Niiyama is afraid of joining the side of Renyu will be subjected to more insidious retaliation.But Renyu reaches out to Chimura Niiyama, ready to pay the price.

  Renyu added, “Two infantry squads, you will be in direct charge and command of the operation, I will not interfere. My artillery team will follow you. Verify the effectiveness of the catapult operations.” The troops Renyu could command right now were three infantry combat squads and one mechanized troop squad. Splitting the command of the two infantry was the same as giving half of the battlefield command. And personally commanding combat armies, not being commanded, was a huge temptation for Chimura Niiyama.

  Chimura Niiyama's breathing was visibly heard to become ragged after Renyu made his offer.Renyu continued, “If you're willing to do that, I'll report it to the logistics department.”

  The blaze in Chimura Niiyama's eyes subsided and he looked at Renyu and asked, “Mr. Ren, how can I repay you?”

Renyu said, “Victory. Dilsey Plains Assembly Battle, I was commanding artillery shelling at the Battle of the Twin Bastions. I'm not familiar with squad combat, which is why I'm being suppressed by Andrew right now. But you are the one who has experienced squad combat with hundreds of people, as well as the mutual coordination of the entire squad. With your help, I can make fewer mistakes, and the greater the chance of victory on the battlefield.”

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

  Renyu gave up the artillery, but took the responsibility all the same, and Renyu's unauthorized dropping of the heavy weapons would give Andrew an excuse if the battlefield choice of replacing the bulky artillery with smaller guns could not be justified by actual battle results. Andrew could report to his superiors that it was Renyu's private behavior that affected the outcome of the entire battle.

  Renyu doesn't believe that Andrew will set himself up with officers who can prove that the new weapons work. The two whites were unlikely to help Renyu, and neither was the African-American; only the equally suppressed Chitose Shinzan had any basis for cooperation, but again, it would require Renyu to take that step of his own accord.

  As Chimura Niiyama and Renyu led the army out, Andrew's face was very hard to see, an important condition had changed, and that would not turn out as expected. He thought for a moment and walked over to the logistics officer to seal twenty heavy artillery pieces and replace them all with catapults.

  Renyu was panting heavily, eight hours of marching thirty-five kilometers, carrying seven kilograms of barrels and twenty-six rounds of grenades, a total of twenty kilograms.Renyu was kind of exhausted. Renyu had advanced in steam artillery carriages or mechanical soldiers in previous battles. Since commanding artillery, he had not experienced marching on his own legs.

  Despite being tired, Renyu held on, and Chimura Niiyama was drenched in sweat. The town four hundred meters away came into view. This town's a supply point for passing merchants. Frigoro's cavalry would pass by here, replenish their supplies, and then raid the city-state occupied by Mina's vanguard.

This town is considered a neutral force, and the troops directly under it are not part of Frigoro's regular army. However, neutrality also depends on the situation,If Mina's main force arrives here, these neutral forces will be strictly neutral, and they will completely surrender to that side if the price they offer is high. But now the vanguard force is weak, even if you give more money, you can't buy the neutral forces to fight like in the past battles.

镇子里有上百名骑兵,都是镇长的亲兵。二十八名手持火枪的骑兵远远看见仁宇他们这边朝镇子走来,转身冲向仁宇他们,警告这支外来部队不要轻举妄动。他们刚一靠近对方阵地,一道道闪光闪现,数十个石块大小的黑点,如冰雹般瞬间炸开,腾起五六米高的大烟云,将骑兵团笼罩其中。炮弹弹片覆盖了骑兵所在的区域。

  两名满身是血的骑士吓得马儿抽动缰绳往回逃。这时,七十多名骑士从城里冲了出来。他们没有正面进攻,而是绕着城墙转,试图找到突破军队防线的突破口。仁宇望着远处的城镇,说道:“这座城是攻不下去的了。”

新山千村放下望远镜说道:“那就把这里毁掉吧。以免被敌人利用。”

十台足有三米高的巨型机器人缓缓蹲下,这时,由任宇带领的队员们迅速上前,开始操作机器人,他们熟练地拧开机器人手臂上的螺栓,拆开两米长、一五毫米口径的炮管,小心翼翼地放在事先准备好的支架上。每台机器人的背后都放着一个大筐,里面装满了这种重型迫击炮的炮弹,每发炮弹重达二十五公斤,整个机体重达惊人的三百五十公斤。如此沉重的装备,单凭人力几乎无法搬运和操控,只有这些强大的机器人才能背负。由于这些机器人背上背着大量的炸药,如果被敌人的子弹击中,后果将不堪设想。任宇并不打算让这些机器人进行近身战斗。

五分钟内十门炮架好后,炮击开始,这种重型迫击炮的射程比蒸汽炮弱了一点,最大射程也就二百五十米。但它依然是重型武器。25公斤的炮弹被火药燃气弹射到四五十米的最高处,然后呈抛物线下落爆炸。

  十门火炮分成两个方向,一部分轰击城镇,另一部分轰击百米外游走的骑兵。城镇被炮击后烟雾弥漫,部分区域燃起熊熊大火。而周围游走的火枪骑兵,被一轮扫射打了个措手不及,半个班的骑兵,大约十七名骑士被纳入了炮 击范围,骑兵们被冲击波和火焰的双重打击击中,战场上马肢、人肢飞扬,就连在炮击边缘的部队也被冲击波连马带马直接推了过去。

  遭到重创的骑兵溃散。四小时后,弗里戈罗的一支骑兵队抵达该地,看到一片忙碌的灭火景象。该镇被摧毁得无法为骑兵提供补给。

  此后,弗里戈罗以东山沟里的营地接连遭到袭击,驻扎在弗里戈罗以东监狱附近的营地平均每两天就会遭到一次袭击,该部队人数虽少,但火力强大,能够在火枪的有效杀伤范围之外发动攻击。

  新山的指挥非常疯狂,当榴弹齐发时,他命令两队火枪手小跑着前进,当榴弹落下炸开敌阵时,两队火枪手也一路冲到对面二十米左右的地方,齐发一轮齐射将对手彻底击溃,最后才是冲锋的时刻。在这一次交战中,他们逐渐摸索出步兵与炮兵配合的最基本技巧。
