Chapter 21 Night Attack

Five days passed quickly. Ji Lin took Jeanna, himself, and two subordinates to listen to his tactical teachings. He could also teach others this. The development of technology is far ahead of tactics. Many technologies are in The supporting tactics will appear ten days after the appearance.

The deformed technological path of this world has exacerbated this problem.

This is an unsolvable problem. Any technology that has been tested in actual combat will have more or less hidden problems, both in actual combat and in the testing field. Tacticians need to develop special tactics for these things based on the performance of technology on the battlefield. He is located in the lower reaches of history and dares to say that he has sufficient understanding of the development of tactical warfare.

But at least you can see farther by standing on the shoulders of giants.

And Jeanne looked so flattered that she ran to him every day.

In the past five days, in addition to discussing the situation of the mortars every day, and teaching each other, they also took the time to look at the development of the territory. After five days, only half a day has passed in the territory time. No one sold the ranch to him, so he was anxious. He spent the past half day digging for gold and bought a blueprint for a public toilet to put in the territory to improve the living standard of the territory.

Under the command of the commander, their advance team set up camp in front of the industrial city-state of Seta.

Seta Industrial City was built on a plain, surrounded only by green fields and gray smoke and mines.

There are few dangers to defend around.

Precisely because there is no danger to defend, no one wants to capture this area that is extremely easy to attack and defend.

Precisely because there is no danger to defend, it can safely dance in the key areas of the two big countries and become a distribution center for supplies when relations between the two countries ease.

But sooner or later this luck will end.

The people of Seta Industrial State also know this, and they are also trying to develop technology to give themselves a little say in mediating between the two countries.

The adjutant was writing on the map, unfolding the infantry line to form an arc. He measured the distance on the map and confirmed the shooting distance of the eight steam mortars he controlled.

"Your mission is to command the steam mortar to destroy these towers, and then explode the two fulcrums of the city wall..."

"The interior of the infantry array should be wider."

They must also have steam artillery, and since they are in the open and the enemy is in the dark, he is not confident that they will destroy all the opposing artillery at the first time. The wider the distance, the smaller the area the artillery can hit at one time.

This is a city with hundreds of thousands of people.

놊Knows the number of defenders, 놊Knows the number of equipment.

In siege warfare without a powerful breakthrough unit like the Steam Spider Governor Mecha...

It's hard.

And there is always something that he seems not to have thought of, and a wonderful feeling lingers in his heart.

"We will attack tomorrow."

Behind the two of them, the commander was smug as a group of infantry sergeants mobilized before the battle. He was talking about the glory of the kingdom, and the pride almost overflowed from his eyes.

"They lost a lot of troops. They must not be able to block our attack. We have 2,400 people, 14 regiments of musketeers, and eight steam mortars to destroy their temporary city walls. These The chickens and dogs will definitely defeat the soldiers of the Weka Kingdom! We can disperse them with a single charge like we did five days ago!”

In his eyes, as long as he presses all the troops, this round of siege battle will definitely be a sure thing.

The soldiers outside have distributed drinks and food according to his orders, and they are open to eat, motivating them to improve the morale of the soldiers before the siege begins.

Ji Lin had no intention of refuting him, and his anxiety grew more and more.

...

"Absolutely a sure thing!"

An officer slapped the table. His momentum overwhelmed everyone present.

"We are preparing for the bombardment tonight."

"All the steam spiders have been lost. They have lost the possibility of attacking at night. Those mercenaries have really achieved good results for us. The giant cannon strikes are coordinated with other steam mortar cannons."

Officers gathered in Seta City and sat in high positions to discuss. Although Seta promised that it would only maintain a small number of troops to deal with rogues, for a city-state where trade and industry coexisted, it wanted to hire retired soldiers. The union of officers will be a difficult thing.

They can also hire a large number of mercenaries to die for them.

The morale of these mercenaries is quite worrying.

"Mr. Cheng, daylight is good for our battle. As far as I know, the cannon is still in a completed state. After the first shot is fired, it will take an hour to replace parts and conduct damage inspection."

They all know what a giant cannon is. It is a super-heavy mortar that Zeta has invested heavily in research and development. Its caliber exceeds 600mm. A direct hit will destroy the governor's mecha if it is hit directly, and the shock wave can easily kill everyone nearby.

The power is sufficient, but after each firing, engineers need to check the damage and replace the parts damaged due to the huge back seat of the fire. This kind of inspection often takes a long time, and no one wants this thing to explode directly on the spot.

This is also their only confidence in being able to defend this city.

The officer frowned. He glanced at the other officers. These people stubbornly believed that they could rely on the city wall to block them, but he knew very well that the mercenaries were just chickens and dogs, fighting defensive battles and firing cold shots. It's okay to be brave. If you really want to see the bayonet see red, you will definitely have to be hung up and beaten by a Vicat musketeer who has undergone complete military training.

"One hour! Even if the Governor's mecha is blown up, what can it do? This time is enough for the remaining Vika musketeers to come to us with explosives! Or do you expect that the stone wall can block the explosives? Or can these militiamen fight with bayonets?"

"Then, how do you want to fight this battle?"

Cheng moved his body and wiped the cold sweat on his body with a handkerchief. He had to summon all the officers in the city and offer a huge reward to anyone who could help him defend this siege.

And this officer's opinion... Cheng can actually make a decision, so he invited all the mercenary leaders to the scene. They would only be willing to go out if they thought the plan was feasible. These people came to make money, not to die.

"According to the plan I mentioned before, we will directly send the cannon to the city and bombard their camp under the cover of night. Once the mecha of the governor, Vika, the war supervisor, dies, we will charge under the cover of night." He stared at the city: "Sir, your goal is to defend this city, so we will disperse them. Without command and supply, they are no threat to us."

There is no better opportunity than this. The enemies are all fixed targets. If you measure the distance well, you will definitely miss.

A perfect environment for losing.

There is no possibility of failure.

"So what do you think?"

The officer looked up.
