Alien Empire Total War

[Task release

Description: The troops deployed by the rebels on Mount Nava have seriously threatened the defense and security of friendly forces. Please defeat the enemy on the mountain within five days and seize the enemy artillery positions.

Reward: A random army company, random army recruitment authority]

……

As soon as he walked out of the city hall, the task reminder issued by the system sounded in Charlie's mind. Hearing the familiar reminder sound, Charlie was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted.

"The system has been silent for so long, and finally the mission is released again."

A team of random troops and recruitment authority, the former is not very attractive to the current Charlie, the latter is somewhat useful, he can currently recruit too few troops, only musketeers, militiamen and 12-pound infantry Cannons are not conducive to his building a diverse army.

The arms that Charlie wants to unlock the most is the cavalry, followed by the hunters and grenadiers. Although it is an era dominated by queuing and shooting tactics, the cavalry still occupies a large part of the battlefield. In the case of formation, the charge launched by the cavalry can easily defeat the well-armed elite infantry.

Thinking about it, the units unlocked by the system are random, and he has to complete the task before he can get the reward. The most important thing for him now is to draw up a battle plan and strive to win Mount Nawa with the fewest casualties within five days.

Back in the army, Charlie announced their mission to the officers above the battalion level, and then led the team to march through the city to the eastern suburbs.

When they arrived at the National Army defense line in the eastern suburbs of the city, the commander here had already received a notification from Uncle Gunila in advance. The middle-aged man in an old military uniform personally brought some officers to greet the arrival of Charlie and reinforcements.

"Colonel Cross, I am Colonel Blanca Lanlu of the former Nava City Defense Force. I have received a notice from the general to prepare a garrison camp for you and your subordinates."

The man held Charlie's hand enthusiastically and introduced himself.

"Colonel Lan Lu, I won't say any extra polite words. I need more information about the enemy army in Nawa Mountain." Charlie calmly pulled back the hand he held and said.

Colonel Lan Lu nodded. He gave way and motioned Charlie to go first, then followed Charlie and introduced him to the information about the enemy on Mount Nawa.

"The third brigade of the enemy's second division is stationed in Mount Nava, with a total of about 3,600 soldiers. They have built an artillery position that accommodates six infantry guns on the mountainside, and can bombard our defense line from a commanding height. Presumably, we judged that the enemy should have four 6-pounders and two 12-pounders."

"The name of the commander of the enemy's third brigade is Gilfi Dole. He is a newly promoted nobleman of the Province of Provence who graduated from the Royal Military Academy two years ago. That's all the information we have so far."

"It's actually him?"

Hearing the familiar name of Gilfi Dole, Charlie was stunned for a moment. He had heard of this person in the memory of the original owner before he crossed over. He studied in the artillery department, participated in the speech contest held by the college, and entered the front line. three in the ranking.

"You know him?" Seeing Charlie's reaction, Colonel Lan Lu asked suspiciously.

"I've heard of this person before." Charlie nodded and explained, "But I haven't had any contact with him. I only know that he graduated from the artillery department."

"That's right." Colonel Lanlu said with a wry smile, "The artillery he deployed has caused a lot of threat to our army's defense line. Colonel Clos, you must be careful of the enemy's artillery when attacking Mount Nava. "

"I see." Charlie agreed.

After talking, Charlie and the others walked to Colonel Lan Lu's headquarters on the front line. The latter pointed to a hill in the distance and introduced him:

"Colonel Cross, that mountain is Mount Nava. Did you see the flags on the mountainside? That's the enemy's artillery position."

Charlie followed the sound and saw that there were indeed many military flags flying on the mountain, and there were also many black spots constantly moving on the bare mountainside.

He didn't speak. He picked up the telescope attached to the commander and pointed it in the direction of the mountainside. He looked intently. Through the lens of the telescope, he could clearly see six artillery pieces on the mountainside and the busy soldiers around the artillery pieces.

Looking at the movements of the soldiers, the pupils behind the binoculars shuddered violently, and then contracted violently. He put down the binoculars and calmly ordered Colonel Lan Lu: "The enemy is loading artillery, let the soldiers dodge!"

It seems to be in response to his words. A few seconds after his voice fell, there were several dull roars on the mountainside in the distance. These sounds came from a distance like thunder in the daytime, accompanied by the sound. Black shadows, in the horrified eyes of the soldiers inside the defense line, black solid bullets roared into the defense line, smashing the bunkers and obstacles made by the soldiers to pieces.

There was no need for Lan Lu to give orders now. The soldiers in the defense line scattered and fled to avoid the shells fired from the distant mountainside.

"Colonel Cross~www.novelmt.com~ It's dangerous here, please get out of here with me." Colonel Lanlu went back and made a proposal to Charlie, but he didn't get a response from the other party. Charlie still stood there, using a telescope Observe the enemy artillery positions on the distant mountainside, and make comments from time to time.

"This position is well set up. Unless a howitzer or mortar is thrown, our artillery can't pose a threat to them no matter what angle they shoot from."

"Well... if I were the commander of the enemy army, I would deploy more artillery here, which can directly threaten the urban area of ​​Nava City. The bombardment of the city has a very high impact on the morale of the defenders, plus The continuous onslaught of elite troops, this will be the breakthrough point of the battlefield."

Seeing that Charlie was not flustered at all, Colonel Lan Lu also calmed down. He walked up to Charlie, listened to the other party's comments, and heard the word howitzer mentioned in his mouth. Colonel Lan Lu was confused. In this world, The howitzer is just a new type of artillery with low stability that has been newly developed. The flowering bombs used by the howitzer usually explode in advance in mid-air and cannot pose a threat to the enemy's army, so many generals are not interested in this new type of artillery. Only a few artillery pieces were produced and assembled for the army.

Although the howitzer is not very effective in field battles, it is still quite good in siege, especially when besieging a solid fortress such as Bastion Star Fort.

In addition, Charlie's comments are very accurate. The National Army is not without artillery. Although it is only a small-caliber 6-pound infantry gun, it was still used by Colonel Lanlu to try to attack the enemy's artillery position, but because of the angle The problem is that none of the solid bullets fired hit the mountainside. Instead, their artillery exposed its position after firing, and was destroyed by the focused fire of the enemy's artillery.
