Tang Mo rode his tall horse through the wilderness that was no longer soft. He passed by two companies of soldiers and encouraged these soldiers loudly: "Gentlemen! I am a foreigner! I was born in Bu Nas, I just met you recently, trained you, and led you to fight..."
This time is different from before. Although it was a group of recruits who had never participated in a war, those recruits had bunkers and did not need to attack, so the psychological pressure must be ten times or more less.
Now, he wants to lead these new recruits to confront the enemy's troops head-on, and even defeat the opponent, so he must mobilize before the battle to let these new recruits secrete more adrenaline.
Tang Mo rode his horse and said loudly in front of the two square formations of his own soldiers: "If we are defeated here today, your hometown will be burned down, your wives and daughters will become other people's playthings, and your children will be slaves for life! And I Just go home, lie in bed and shed a few cheap tears for your suffering."
While he was saying this, behind the two infantry phalanxes, the new artillerymen had begun to unload the artillery shells from the carriages.
On the side of the carriage, six C64 artillery pieces have been lined up. These howitzers were designed and built according to Krupp's drawings. The gun steel is made of re-smelted and strengthened naval gun materials. Some of the small parts inside are all It was all polished by Matthews himself.
By the standards of this era, these weapons were absolutely enviably advanced, and they had never roared in a real war.
However, it is regrettable that among the artillerymen who operate these artillery, only 15 soldiers and 3 officers have real experience in firing artillery. Now they are a team of three and are in charge of 6 powerful artillery.
Among these artillerymen who had almost no experience in firing, there were even three elves, because they had used naval guns on armed merchant ships and had some practical experience.
Tang Mo hoped that advanced weapons could improve the combat effectiveness of these recruits and make up for their lack of numbers and experience.
The good news is that at least the propellant for Tang Mo's breech-loading cannon shells is custom-installed, and the loading of the shells is also a fixed process - this reduces the impact of recruits' lack of experience on the accuracy and safety of the artillery.
It is precisely because of this that Tang Mo kept shouting here. While he was just emboldening others, he was also trying his best to cheer himself up: "So, this is your war! But I, I, Tang Mo! Come on! I’m here! I’ve met you! I feel that I should, and must, lead you...to victory!"
Behind Tang Mo were the Susa soldiers who were climbing over the roadbed. They could vaguely see that some people were gathering here, but there was no good solution for them at the moment.
The distance between the two sides is not far, and it is not possible to make progress. They were both sorting out their teams at the same time. Both sides were a little confused and a little unwilling to face reality.
Tang Mo needs to encourage morale here and accumulate courage to challenge Susas' troops. As for Susas's troops, they obviously did not realize that they would encounter enemy troops here.
According to previous inferences, it was unlikely that North Ridge would still have a reserve team here, so when they discovered the two companies of recruits commanded by Redman, Tuqi's confidants who commanded the Sussus troops were completely confused.
While he ordered the messenger to bring the news back to Tucci, he immediately organized his troops and prepared to stand firm in place.
Judging from the size of the enemy, he knew that he was the superior side, and he remembered his promise to Twitch and knew that as long as he held his position, he would be doing a great job.
Therefore, he had no intention of advancing rashly. Instead, he asked the troops arriving at the position to stand by and observe what was happening on Tang Mo's side.
His enemy Tang Mo, at this time, pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it to the sky in a pretentious manner: "Do you know what victory is? Victory! It is the glory of men! Today! We stand here for glory and victory. , for courage... no matter what bullshit it is, as long as we defeat the group of idiots on the opposite side, when we get old, we can sit on the recliner and recall everything today!"
He spoke word by word, holding his chin high, as if he was already a winner: "If you run away, become cowardly, and fail to keep up with me... then when you think of today, you can only think of The muzzle of the enemy’s gun reminds me of the terrifying sound of artillery!”
"But if you and I, a foreigner, fight bravely together! Then when you think of today, you will think of the endless grassland, the magnificent forest, and the whole earth calling our names!" He used The long sword pointed in the direction of Susus' troops and shouted loudly. "Today! Move forward! Don't take a step back!"
"Long live Beiling!" The Beiling hunters who were inspired by his words were already excited. They cheered loudly and began to move forward.
The entire team was squirming forward, and everyone was shouting hoarsely: "Forward!"
Behind Tang Mo, on the artillery position, Redman, who was left to command, looked anxiously at Tang Mo, who was leading the troops forward in person.
He originally wanted to lead the attack and ask Tang Mo to stay and hold the artillery position, but Tang Mo rejected this suggestion and ordered him to stay and command the artillery operations.
Therefore, he could only stand here, looking at Tang Mo's back through the telescope, urging his artillery to find a good shooting angle.
In fact, the accuracy of these frame retractors is very impressive. Every time they fire, they jump on the spot. This greatly affects the accuracy, so they were soon replaced by more advanced tube retractors.
But the backward cannons are also compared to the cannons. After all, Susas is equipped with a large number of front-loading artillery, so it is also a fake cannon, isn't it...
While Redman watched his own artillerymen nervously making preparations for firing, he imitated Tang Mo and encouraged everyone loudly: "Beiling is our home! Here, the taxes we pay are At the lowest level, we live our own lives! Now, someone comes to insult our wives and daughters, massacre our compatriots, plunder our wealth, and trample our crops!"
"Behind us is the land of Beiling! We must pick up the weapons in our hands! Fight until the last moment!" He pointed at the mountains in the distance and shouted: "For Beiling! For each of us! Defeat Enemy! Don’t retreat even an inch!”
"For Beiling!" The artillerymen who were loading artillery shells and using special tools to measure the firing angle shouted over and over again with the same excitement: "For Beiling!"
"All artillery, salvo! Fire!" After all the soldiers completed loading, Redman took the lead and gave the order to fire the salvo.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, Commander Susas, who was Tucci's confidant, sneered and curled his lips disdainfully: "Ha! With only half a battalion of troops, how dare you fight a decisive battle with a whole battalion of mine? I'm sorry. Let’s see how he dies!”
"Prepare for bombardment!" He looked at his men and ordered loudly.
He felt that he had a sure chance of victory, because the opponent only had half a battalion of troops. If the opponent keeps a distance and holds on to their position, they may be able to hold on for a while, but now that they are forced to fight, they have obviously lost the advantage of holding on.
On his side, after climbing over the roadbed, he began to reorganize the army, and at this moment he had established a firm foothold.
His artillery was spread out and his troops in formation. In this case, the enemy's attack is simply seeking death.
As a strong general in Susas, he is confident that even if it is the main force of Beiling and the strength is equal, he will be confident to stay here and not retreat even half a step!
So he looked at the artillery position in the distance. There, including the artillery reinforced for him, the soldiers around the 10 cannons were working hard to load them.
Gunpowder barrels and spherical cannonballs were scattered around the feet of these soldiers. The shooters held the torches high, waiting for orders from their superiors to fire.
But at this moment, the enemy's sparse artillery positions in the distance suddenly let out roars that shook the earth.
"Boom!" The sound of the cannon from the opposite side was so powerful that the Susas warrior could not help but shrink his neck.
Six artillery shells roared past the heads of the Susas troops with a whistling sound. The screaming sound that ripped through the air made the entire Sussus phalanx begin to shake uncontrollably.
These shells did not fall into the phalanx of the Susas troops. Because the parameters were wrong, they all crossed the phalanx of the Susas troops and flew to the sloping roadbed before crashing into the soil and triggering the trigger. Bump fuse.
"Boom! Boom!" The explosion of six artillery shells came from behind the Susas troops. The explosions rose into the air on the roadbed. The billowing black smoke and splashing soil made the Susas soldiers unable to bear it. Look back.
This sight made them completely forget that they were on the battlefield. They watched blankly as the dust raised by the explosion fell like raindrops, and it was hard to believe that this was the damage caused by the opponent's shells.
Siluke
At this moment, the warrior from Susas was staring at the exploding shells with his mouth open, and for a moment he even forgot that he was directing a battle.
At the same time, on the artillery position on the North Ridge side, an artillery commander cursed in frustration: "Oh my God! The parameters are wrong! The shooting is too high! Bastard! Adjust the shooting parameters! Quick! The angle is wrong! Adjust quickly!"
All the artillerymen who heard the order were in a hurry. Some shook the wheel on the gun carriage, some re-opened the breech on the side of the gun body, and some gathered together and began to check their calculation formulas.
When Tang Mo saw that the first salvo missed, he felt as if his heart was bleeding - those were all shells he had saved through frugality! How many are there in total? You guys shot me six rounds in just one breath? That's money! money! Big brother!
