The Mechanical Soldier is so powerful that it can deflect bullets, lift boulders, and walk as fast as it can run, meaning it has been naturally oppressive to normal creatures since its birth, and Mina's Mechanical Soldiers have been defending against Alim's forces in the Eastern Desert since its birth.
Alim desert nation can summon a thousand strange crustacean giant biological soldiers, these arthropods and magical golems vitality is simply strong, they are simple minded, perception is not developed, the sense of pain is much weaker than humans. Bullets hit on the big scorpion, desert horseshoe crab bugs and such crustaceans have no effect at all for a short period of time, and there is even a rock golem whose body is constructed of rock with a height of five meters that can throw four to five hundred kilograms of stone to seventy meters away, and it is very difficult for the ordinary troops to stand still in front of them.
The Mechanical Soldiers were the ones that Mina City State had created to fight these monsters. The long knives mounted on the mechanical arms could easily slice through the armour of the giant creatures, and the high-voltage electric current released from the right arm could pierce through the rocky shell of the magical golem beings, traumatising their nervous systems. That's why Mina's Mechanical Soldiers specialised in melee combat, and it was the gun barrels that were redundant.
For what it's worth, the killing and destructive power of the small artillery on the Mechanical Troopers is also very strong. This lethality is aimed at the average Fleeglo's troops.
By the time the Mechanical Soldiers under Renyu's command came charging down the hill, the routed swordsmen had already recoiled into the formation of Frigoro's Legion, and the Dragon Cavalry and Heavy Knights were trying to hold back the descending Mechanical Soldiers and trying to drive the defeated soldiers back up, but the Mechanical Soldiers were advancing too fast.
‘Clang, clang, clang’, dozens of Mechanical Soldiers stride forward on the rocky road, seeing that the enemy's gathering is less than eighty metres away from the three Mechanical Soldiers at the forefront of his side, Renyu orders these three Mechanical Soldiers to open fire.
The barrels of the tall mechanical soldiers' forearms tilted upwards slightly by ten to fifteen degrees, and then opened fire, the heavy artillery shells drew an arc and flew over a distance of ninety metres, falling into the army that was reforming into a new battle sequence. The flames of the three explosions sent large crowds of people down, and as the rear of the Mechs arrived one by one eighty metres in front of Fleeglo's corps opened fire with a continuous barrage that swept through the troops in front of them like a wall of flames. The occasional infantryman got down and fired at the mechanized soldiers, the bullets bounced off the armour and sparked, but could not do any damage to the mechanized soldiers. The close-range artillery fire made any counter-attacks very ineffective.
After clearing out the sniping troops, the Mechanized Corps continued to advance towards the Frigidaire heavy artillery positions. The speed was so fast that only a few heavy cannons completed their turn. Five large-caliber heavy cannons opened fire first, and in one round of unison fire, a heavy artillery shell hit a mechanic trooper, and the shell directly crashed the mechanic trooper into parts, and a blasted barrel struck another mechanic trooper's waist, and that mechanic trooper went down as well.
Charging at the muzzle of a cannon may seem scary, but Renyu is basically okay with it, and at such a close range, it's actually possible to anticipate the line of artillery from the opposite side. The line of artillery fired at close range could be seen as a straight line, so it was possible to watch where the enemy's muzzle was pointing to avoid the shells. Now it's a contest of courage.
Only two Mechanical Soldiers hit in this charge, after all, with the accuracy of the artillery, the Mechanical Soldiers were still too small a target. The elevation angle of the five heavy cannons hadn't been placed low enough, and it seemed that the opposite artillery hadn't encountered this kind of close-range surprise attack situation, and panicked a bit. Of course if it was such a troop that appeared in front of Renyu, Renyu felt that he too would panic.
The other four shells fly directly behind the mechanical soldier and explode due to the angle of the artillery not being low enough. The flames of the four explosions rose behind Renyu, and the splattered debris hit Renyu's back heavily, making him feel a great pain on his back, which Renyu thought should be bleeding.
Renyu poked his head out to watch the battlefield as soon as the sitting Mechanical Soldiers were about a hundred metres away from the Heavy Artillery unit. After seeing more and more heavy artillery completing their turn and loading up, Renyu ordered all the mechanical soldiers to fire forward together, and the remaining 41 longbow mechanical soldiers who were still able to fight opened fire en masse upon receiving the order.
The musketeers who were crouching in an array near the artillery trying to guard the artillery immediately ran backwards when they saw the thick barrels of the mechanical monsters. The soldier in the lead seemed to anticipate that the gendarmes would open fire on themselves, snatching the gendarmes and shooting them down as they turned their guns on themselves.
A volley of artillery shells landed in the artillery positions, and more than forty shells lashed like whips at the positions where the steam artillery units were located. Three gun carriages appeared to have been hit directly, and the shells from the carriages produced a martyrdom explosion, and three circular shock waves appeared on the ground.
"Keep going, keep going, we're just invincible at this distance." After seeing the effect, Renyu started to get a little excited, a fight like this was simply a gamble. The stake was one's own life. It was so hard to be sure that he was going to win, so let's hurry up and win so that this gamble would end quickly.

Renyu was very familiar with the steam heavy artillery in this world, this kind of steam heavy artillery loading time was at least fifteen seconds, if it was a newbie, it was estimated that it would not be finished in twenty seconds. How to make newbie artillerymen panic? That was to keep letting the artillery shells fall around them.
All the mechanical soldiers began to fire rapidly, and the seven or eight heavy artillery shells in the carrier disappeared from the carrier at a rapid rate of one per five seconds. The rapid fire lasted twenty-five seconds.
This rapid rapid fire had shattered the mechanical arms of six mechanical soldiers by the reaction force. The longbow mechanical soldiers were designed with only fixed shots in mind.Renyu could clearly see that the steel wire in the mechanical arm of the mechanical soldier he was lying on his back had been bent violently, and the three small teeth of the gears on the joints had chipped off. The other mechanical soldiers were not damaged to the same degree and could no longer fire in unison.
It was a good thing that the entire artillery position at Frigoro had been blown into flames, eighteen conspicuous small mushroom clouds rose, eighteen artillery carriages produced martyrdom explosions, and eighteen violent explosions shook Renyu's ears briefly out of hearing. Seeing that the infantry behind him was finally catching up, Renyu decided to retreat to the top of the hill, ensuring his deterrence as a presence artillery.
The short battle lasted less than seven minutes. Duke Silari, who was riding on his horse, watched a plume of black smoke rise from the artillery positions behind his army, his face was very unattractive, and at this time he also noticed a man hanging on the back of a mechanical soldier through his binoculars.
Duke Silari's face twitched, and he realised how this simple-minded mechanical unit could be so capable of executing such a high-tech battle just now. It turned out that someone was in command, and the person in command was hiding in this obscene position. With that, he threw the binoculars in his hand, flung the horse whip in his own hand, and urged his horse to run after those mechanical soldiers.
At the sight of the general with the long-barreled rifle, cloaked and riding a white horse rushing ahead of him with a group of dragoons, Renyu felt that things were a bit bad. What was that long rifle Renyu knew more than well, the first battle of the crossing, General Kalini used this thing to execute a black crosser. The person's body was directly broken into two halves, and his internal organs were oozing out.
To be able to use a musket with such a huge recoil must be a hero. As he watched Duke Silari rapidly approach, Renyu's heartbeat picked up speed again. The Mechanical Soldier was now in an uphill rocky area, and the surrounding area did not have any half-metre high rock shelters.
"The battle is almost over, how can we still pull out such a hate. I should have known that I would have jumped down and mixed in with the infantry group." Renyu muttered with regret.
However, there is no way out now, "all mechanical soldiers turn ......" in the heat of the moment Renyu gave this order, the huge mechanical soldiers turn around again, the weapon that can be comparable to the range of the hero's sniper rifle, Renyu can only think of his own hands of the longbow.
"Crouch down and raise your arms." Renyu said to the cyborg he was sitting down with. When the cyborg crouched down, Renyu quickly jumped down and raised his hand to hold the cyborg's raised gun barrel. Due to the continuous rapid fire, the gun barrel pendulum angle measuring system on the cyborg's arm was no longer allowed. Gently pushing the longbow raised gun barrel. Renyu took out a pen only and pressed one end onto the gun barrel, the pen naturally drooped to form an angle with the raised gun barrel due to one end being pressed.
Angle estimation was now possible only with rudimentary tools. There was no angle scale, but the sagging pencil and the horizontal line on the barrel formed a visual angle.
"Horizontal elevation angle seventeen degrees, no more than eighteen degrees." Renyu did a silent calculation in his heart, looking at the scale protractor on the gun barrel every day, for how much the angle was, Renyu was able to estimate the approximate value. There was no time to dwell on how much error there was, because death was already coming.
‘First group，fire.’
As Duke Silari O reached two hundred metres, the crouching longbows opened fire, the bullet points unusually scattered. Nearly all of the Longbow Mechanical Troopers' protractors had been destroyed in the fire they had just opened.
The point of impact covered a large portion of the ground, and the crouching Longbow Mechanical Soldiers could reach beyond two hundred metres. And Kalini's initial kill on the Viceroy mech was between one hundred and fifty and one hundred and twenty metres. The Viceroy mech was plate steel, and Renyu didn't think he was safe within two hundred metres.
The guns acted as a distraction, and seeing a large smoke screen rise in front of them, the horse Duke Silari was sitting on lurched to one side, causing Duke Silari, who had just raised his gun, to readjust. However, when Duke Silari raised his gun again another group also started firing. Watching the commotion of the horses, Duke Silari jumped off his horse, crouched down, raised his gun, and took aim.
Just then, Renyu's hand gently deflected the left barrel. It fired at Duke Silari's bearing. After firing the cannon, he quickly rolled over to the side, not caring about the recoil coming from it. Two metres away on the left side the ground rocks suddenly exploded, the broken small stones hit Renyu's face and something sticky ran down his cheek.
The cannonball did not hit Duke Silari, it only exploded twenty metres away from Duke Silari's left front, and Duke Silari, who was hit by the shockwave of the cannonball, waited for the dust to dissipate, patted his armour, and then jumped onto his steed, backing up thirty metres. Silently, he looked at Renyu on the hillside.
This time sniping, Duke Silari deliberately missed. While aiming, Duke Silari saw Renyu clearly through the sniper rifle's crosshairs. That's why the shot was two metres away from Renyu's left side. Renyu, who had survived, gasped loudly and turned his head towards the foot of the mountain, and saw Duke Silari sitting on his horse and staring at his side. After about seven seconds of staring, Duke Silari rode off on his horse.
"Why is he gone?" Doubt filled Renyu's heart as he watched the general at the foot of the mountain leave.
"General? Why don't you add another shot." The leading cavalry captain asked suspiciously to Silari, who said slowly, "I am a knight."
Note: (Duke Silari is able to build the Kondoti Arie cavalry camp during the plot campaign. Kondoti Arie has been rejecting new technology during the campaign, and the locals' armies are cavalry and swordsmen. In the second phase of the campaign, Duke Silari is killed by Giacomo (the protagonist) in the desert region of the central part of the continent where the Alim live, in which Yazahliv is located, with the last of the Kondoti Arie knights loyal to him.)
