Chapter 192 Brother, I'll tie the reins for you (3)

As the infantry entered the camp, Simon glanced at Rogers before advancing with his guards.

After finding a tower that had not collapsed, Simon observed the battlefield from a high place.

With the monocular telescope out, he could even see the heavy expression on the face of the commander on the opposite side.

Looking at the battlefield situation again, the armies on both sides were entangled, and it was difficult to tell who would win in a short time.

After all, the other side had 10,000 people, the size of a legion.

It was not so easy to be blown away by a few shots.

Simon looked for a while and sighed: "The Holy Cross Kingdom still has a strong army."

The serfs who were fought before were at most cannon fodder.

But it was normal. The Holy Cross Kingdom was the largest of the three southern kingdoms, and it had no trump cards at all. King Bruno couldn't even sit firmly in his position.

But the enemy's strength was not good news. He would rather his opponent be vulnerable.

The stairs creaked, and Simon looked down and saw that it was Rogers who climbed up.

He curled his lips and put on a warm smile: "Brother Rogers, why are you here? The battlefield is dangerous, you'd better not get too close."

Rogers felt that Simon's smile was a little strange, but his attitude changed quickly, so he didn't say anything.

He also took out a monocular telescope, took a look at the battlefield, and then responded to Simon: "General Simon, I have also completed knight training, and this scene doesn't scare me.

The Holy Cross people don't seem to be as bad as the legend says?"

Although it was his first time on the battlefield, he had studied several famous battles of Duke Leopold in the tactics class.

The fighting power of the Holy Cross people is notoriously bad.

Why do they look strong today?

"It's just that most of the ones I met before were bad enough. In fact, the fighting power of the regular army of the Holy Cross Kingdom is still good, at least the training is still good." Simon explained casually.

Few people know this. The regular army of the Holy Cross Kingdom has always been stationed near the capital and rarely leaves.

The reason? Is the church knights in the capital a reason?

The church has a history of crimes. King Bruno personally experienced how the United Kingdom collapsed.

He certainly doesn't want to experience it again.

Simon didn't elaborate. He thought Rogers was a rookie who couldn't wait, so he said, "Our mission is to fight against the royal private army. We have exceeded the mission today. It won't take a day to take down this camp."

Although the Holy Cross showed a different combat effectiveness than before, Simon believed in his brothers more.

The gunner has solved a big problem, and the rest can be solved in half a day at most.

In fact, the wooden wall is not an absolute obstacle for the infantry. If they sacrifice more, they will definitely be able to advance.

If it doesn't work, Simon still has a killer that he hasn't used.

Rogers carefully observed the battlefield with a telescope and soon found the general on the opposite side.

His eyes lit up and he confirmed it repeatedly.

"General Simon, I have two ideas.

Look, I will snipe the enemy's general first. Whether it succeeds or not, the enemy troops in the rear can at least buy a quarter of an hour for the front line. Can you break through the defense line?"

The application of artillery on the battlefield is very flexible, especially when the enemy is not on guard at all.

If the sniper is successful, it is equivalent to paralyzing the opponent's command.

If it fails, it can also temporarily cover the battlefield and buy opportunities for the front line.

Simon thought it was very reliable when he heard it.

"Why didn't I think of doing this?" He slapped his forehead in regret. Not to mention the trouble of sniping with a bed crossbow, the movement was too loud. If it really went to a high place, the enemy general would run away when he saw it.

But the artillery is a parabolic attack, just move forward a little.

He realized that he still knew too little about this new weapon of war.

"Knight Rogers, I will listen to you. If you succeed, I will ask for credit for you."

"Okay, General Simon, just watch. There are no useless people under the Duke's command."

Rogers was very excited. He was a rookie and he longed for military merit.

Especially the good opportunity to show his face in front of the Duke, which was even more rare.

After saying that, he took out a small flag and waved it at the artillery behind him.

Only then did Simon realize that the artillery had been advancing forward without knowing when.

After choosing a new position, this time they were in a hurry to fire the artillery quickly, and they didn't even build the position.

He couldn't see the complicated flags between the artillery, which felt no different from the chaos.

But the artillery understood it themselves, so there was no test firing this time.

"Fire coverage, three rounds of rapid fire."

Rogers issued the final order.

The gunners had already adjusted and responded one after another.

Received!

Start shooting!

Boom!

As if it turned into a roar, several shells were ejected together.

The Holy Cross general who was commanding in the distance had not yet realized the danger. According to experience, his position was absolutely safe.

And he could easily command the army without any delay.

Seeing that the defense line was stabilized, he had seen hope.

"Maintain the defense line, and retreat a little bit if necessary. We don't need to fight them to the death.

Stay stable, other legions can run back and forth in half a day, and victory belongs to us."

There are five camps stationed, and four nearby legions can provide support at any time.

He is full of confidence, and this is considered the second line, and there will be more support in the future.

The army in front is not blind, and can let Rockman pass through again and again.

In his eyes, if this Megaman army failed in its sneak attack, it would only become his prey.

Since the war with Megaman, no one has ever destroyed the enemy's army in an organized manner. This is an opportunity.

Crisis and crisis, danger and opportunity coexist.

"Hold on, today is the day to make a name for myself, everyone help me."

No matter how much the loss is, it can be replenished. The lives of soldiers are worthless, but my own military merits are valuable.

Until he heard the sharp whistling sound of the artillery shells, he subconsciously raised his head and his pupils shrank violently.

Thinking of the intelligence of the previous rout, he realized that he had overlooked the most important thing.

"So this is not a one-time thing?"

In the three southern countries, gunpowder actually already exists, and the barbarians have tasted the power of large-scale explosions not long ago.

With the intelligence capabilities of the Holy Cross Kingdom, he must have heard of it.

So he thought that the collapse of the city wall before was the same method.

Who knew there was such a thing as a cannonball.

Let alone hearing about it, even if he saw it with his own eyes, he still didn't believe it for a while.

Cognitive solidification is actually a very terrifying thing.

It was not until the shells fell, the flames and the huge impact force made his body lifted up like a doll, that he began to believe: "So there really is such a weapon? My life is more valuable than military merit!"

In the last few seconds of consciousness, he was very regretful.

And then... it was over.
