Chapter 64 64great character and minor characters"41 soldiers were killed, and more than 4,700 enemy troops were wiped out..." Mordelair Sitting in the chair of the city hall, listening to the report of the subordinate officers. All the furniture in this town hall is from Alanhill, even the iron candlesticks.
Although not very beautiful, Alanhill's industrial products still destroyed the local handicraft industry in Arrant at once, making countless people unemployed and more impoverished, making countless people start to resent the exploitation of their own Arrant empire...
"The consumption of bullets has doubled, and the effect of heavy machine guns is really... amazing, but their consumption is also very terrifying. A full 6,000 rounds of bullets were fired in less than ten minutes... ..." an officer said to Mordelair with a little awe.
"Not much." Mordelair waved his hand and said to his subordinates: "If we fall into street fighting, the losses will be even greater and the consumption will be even greater. In fact, we can It is a fortunate thing to annihilate the enemy at the crenel."
Two machine guns, fired for ten minutes, can pour out 300 rounds of bullets in one minute on average! Such firepower was unthinkable a year ago, and it is definitely a miracle of industrial civilization now.
The Alanhill unit, which lacked the last shortcoming, can now be said to be invincible in the whole world. What they need to face now is the last test, the magic Legion from the Holy Demon Emperor.
"Deploy the anti-aircraft guns on the top of the city. Place two machine guns in the gaps, and the rest of the machine guns are scattered over the city wall on all sides! I want to form a complete air defense network here! Dragon Knight can't be placed Get close to the city!" Mordelair, who had won the victory, was not happy at all, and ordered himself.
On the one hand, the victory at this moment is the ending that he can already guess, so he is completely excited does not raise. On the other hand, the Dragon Knight of the distant Holy Demon Emperor country is like It was a nightmare, and it made Mordrel worry a lot before the real fight was decided.
There is another reason, that is, Mordelair has just received the exact news that the defender of Wallavor City, the man who fought to the end, is his acquaintance, the one who once worked with him , and an upright and personable Old Master.
Franky... This name made Mordrel feel heartbroken. He felt that such an excellent person should not have died in such a battle. He even thought that Franky could play for Alanhill, and if he had been there, he would have had a good talk with the Old Master.
Unfortunately, when Modler arrived at the gap in the city wall, the second battalion had already occupied the city head, and the first battalion had also taken control of the city hall. The soldiers who stayed in the gap to maintain order briefly introduced the battle to Mordelair, and then Mordelair saw the long sword still stuck on the ground.
That long sword, Mordelair, can be said to be quite familiar, with Franky's personal emblem on it, and it is also a well-known long sword in the empire. But now it was alone on the pile of corpses, and it was so full of blood that it was impossible to see its original appearance.
After Mordel walked over, he saw Franky's body, the old man who had taught Mordel's sword technique, lying peacefully on the ground, with dried blood all over his body. There are also holes that no longer gushed blood.
The invincible Old General with sword technique was finally killed by a group of farmers who had only practiced assassination for a few months. The way to kill Old General was not to fight hard, but to take it easy. Aiming and a lethal shot.
Even if he saw the corpses all over the ground, even if he had seen the live ammunition of the artillery, and the ferocious firepower of the heavy machine gun and anti-aircraft guns, Mordelair was still seeing General French. At the moment of the corpse, I really felt that this era has changed.
"Go and send the telegram!" After signing his name on the battle report that captured Wallavor City, Mordelal suddenly felt that he was not a general. He felt more like a clerk, a thief who could taste the fruits of victory without charging.
……
I feel the same way as Mordelair, and Bourgeois. After his troops advanced to Maricha, they only fired two shots before waiting for the other party. The Surrender: Not everyone is as stubborn as Franky, especially after seeing the power of cannons. The timid defender not only presented the city intact, but also brought a full 20,000 prisoners...
In this way, in fact, Alanhill has almost completed his offensive goal, and they captured the They got most of the city they wanted and got the many resources they wanted.
The many stories heard from the great magician side of Franzberg gave Alanhill a very clear target for this time southward attack. They hope they can attack through this time and master a magic concentrate that Arrant has mastered!
In all campaign objectives, this objective comes first. Among the magic concentrates of the Arrant Empire, the northernmost one is just east of Wallavor. This is why, after the plan was drawn up, the 5th and 6th divisions were placed on the front, and the 4th Division, which was numbered higher, was placed on the side.
According to the plan, the subsequent reserve regiments entering Arrant's territory are basically going to fight in the direction of Wallawa. What they have to do is very simple. They want to control the area east of Wallavor, and push them all the way to the mountains to lay down that valuable mine.
As long as there is this concentrate, then Alanhill can create the knowledge ball, and with the knowledge ball, Chris can spread his knowledge and make more scientists and engineers.
With these engineers and scientists, Alanhill's industrialization and modernization will be faster, and the entire country will be on the fast track of rapid development, becoming an "industrial empire" that Magic Empire has to fear. .
Don't say anything stupid like Magic Empire has forbidden spells or super magic, industrial civilization is no weaker than those powerful magics in the direction of destroying heaven extinguishing earth. Not to mention those distant future technologies, just counting nuclear weapons, the ability of modern industrial civilization to self-destruct is already too strong to make people speechless.
If you add the scientists who wake up every morning and make the sun in their labs, is this path of self-destruction going faster than a magical civilization or an industrial civilization? Going further, it's really hard to say.
Even the craziest magical forbidden spell is impossible enough to create a sun, right? Think about those terrifying chemical weapons and bacteriological weapons... and even counting the future genetic weapons - the courage of industrial civilization to constantly test on the edge of death, it is absolutely no less than Magic Empire.
And the weapons of war are just a small branch under the products of many industrial civilizations. What really makes industrial civilization take off are the sky-defying productivity and the terrifying speed of construction.
Of course, all of this must be built on the basis that this war going south can withstand the attack of the Magic Empire. If the Magic Empire's army wins, Alanhill will be in ruins, and Chris will be another "hero" to be written down in history.
"The Arrant troops near Maricha were wiped out, and they surrendered as fast as our advance." Bourgeois commented on Arrant's soldiers and commanders in the operational briefing: "A group of troops inferior to peasants."
In fact, his assessment is very pertinent. The powerful Arrant frontier army has actually surrendered and was crossed by them - those soldiers stationed on the frontier are Arrant The empire's frontier troops were elite, but they chose to stand on Alanhill's side.
The remaining elite troops have been dispatched to the south to join the battle against the Dothan Empire, so the remaining troops, especially those in the hinterland of the Arrant Empire, are actually Looks good.
Therefore, before the reinforcements of the Arrant Empire assembled under Arrant Hook's order arrived at the front line, the battle strength of these guards was actually very limited.
It is a pity that the reinforcements of the Arrant Empire are still on the way, and all the places that need reinforcements have been occupied by Alanhill.
Currently there is only one uncertain direction, which is the Bude direction of Coria's attack. The battle over there has not yet started at this time, and Bud is still in the hands of the Arrant Empire.
There are many reasons for this situation, the most direct reason is that the frontier army in the direction of Bude is not actually weakened, but because Arrant has to beware of the Higgs Kingdom has received some reinforcements.
These border guards, who originally aimed at the Higgs Empire, have now become the biggest obstacle for Coria's attack on Bude. The opponent has a total of more than 40,000 field troops, and there are even 10,000 cavalry with great battle strength.
Koriya only had more than 5,000 people in his hands, almost one-tenth of the opponent's. With this number of people, he still has to undertake the task of attacking the city of Budd. Counting the defenders in the city, the disadvantage of Coria's number is even more obvious.
But it is not without good news, at least the reinforcements of the steppe empire have arrived, and these cavalry can offset the cavalry advantage of the Arrant empire. Keria finally started after waiting for 10,000 steppe cavalrymen. exploratory attack.
This battle, known as the Battle of Bude, broke out in the spring of 1743 in the magical calendar, but the scale was not large. The two sides invested a total of less than 80,000 troops.
The commanders on both sides are interesting: Alanhill's side is Coria, the adjutant of the fledgling General Valgeron, a small character no one knew before the battle.
The battlefield commander of the Arrant Empire is the famous general Arrant Lumbach - not only a contemporary famous general, but also happens to be Uncle of the Arrant Empire Emperor Hook, a serious royal relative.
