Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 165 Chapter 165
If it weren't for the fact that the first four legions were equipped with new K1 fast guns and revolvers, the offensive formation of the elves would actually appear too conservative.

Now the elves are able to maintain their offensive state entirely because the spearheads formed by the four legions in front are too sharp, not because of how clever Augustin Tural's arrangement is.

In fact, as the patriarch of the Augustinian family and an important minister of the kingdom, Augustin Tural didn't have any military skills at all.

This time he was able to come to the front to command the battle. The main reason was that among the four main offensive armies, three were controlled by the Augustine family.

On the one hand, the king felt that he was not sure that Augustine would hand over his private army to fight this battle; on the other hand, it was also because the battle was indeed very secure with the blessing of new weapons.

Augustin Tural himself had the idea of ​​grabbing credit, and His Majesty the King wanted to follow suit, so Augustin Tural became the commander of the elves in this battle.

In fact, everyone knows that such an arrangement is a bit inappropriate, but there is nothing to say: the guns were obtained by the Augustine family, and the troops also belong to them. Can I still have an opinion?
Augustin Tural is not a fool, on the contrary, he actually knows how many talents he has. This time he came to the front line, on the one hand, he really meant to ask for credit, and on the other hand, he was really worried about his direct troops.

Therefore, he put out a 344 formation with self-knowledge, only seeking to be safe and make no mistakes, and completely gave up those aggressive ideas.

It is precisely because of this arrangement that the offensive pressure of the elves fell entirely on the shoulders of the four legions equipped with new rifles.

Fighting all the way here, they disabled 4 legions of the orcs in a row, and one legion of the elves also suffered a lot of losses, so they had to withdraw to take a rest.

In the distance was the sound of rumbling guns, and the cannons of both sides fired at each other, killing each other inextricably.The corpses of orc soldiers can be seen everywhere on the battlefield. They were wearing armor, and their long swords or shields fell beside their corpses.

Only about two-thirds of the soldiers of the Orcs were equipped with Cyric muskets, and the rest were the heavy shieldmen and spearmen who were responsible for covering the musketeers.

However, when facing the K1 fast gun, these soldiers can basically only act as cannon fodder. They stayed to cover the retreat of the main force, and they would lie here forever.

"My lord, the officers' battle plan has been drawn up. The fastest way for our army to win is the same as you judged. It is to ignore the troops spread out on the left and right wings of the enemy army and concentrate the superior force to attack the enemy's central army. It is estimated that it will only take two times. Attack, the opponent's central defense line is about to collapse!" A lieutenant rode forward and presented Augustine with a plan signed by several generals.

"Tell the commanders of the left and right wings that I want to concentrate my superior forces to defeat the central army of the Kingdom of Gales in one fell swoop! Order them not to be greedy for meritorious deeds, but to keep up steadily! Remember! Don't be greedy for meritorious deeds!"

"Yes!" The officer immediately pulled the reins and urged the horse to gallop towards the direction where the orderly was on standby.

Pulled out the binoculars from the cylinder on the side of the saddle, stretched them to the front of the eyes, and Augustine continued to appreciate the frontal battlefield.

His troops were chanting the slogan of long live the kingdom, holding their rifles and striding forward with great momentum amidst the sound of war drums.

On the opposite side of these elf troops, the orc troops in the distance are desperately maintaining their defenses.

White gunpowder smoke was everywhere on the battlefield, and the shells whizzed past the crowd, knocking seven or eight elf soldiers into the air.

Because the formation is still dense, the loss of the elves in the artillery fire is not small, which is the main reason why Earl Tural tried his best to defeat the frontal enemy.

The main casualties of his troops come from the enemy's artillery fire. As long as the opponent's artillery is eliminated, victory will be at your fingertips.

Sure enough, as he estimated, in front of the orc phalanx, the elves finally had the opportunity to fire.The attacking battalion raised its weapons amidst the commander's order, and then fired a round of salvos at the orcs.

Intensive gunshots echoed on the battlefield, and the armored soldiers in the front row of the orcs fell down, and the phalanx immediately became thinner.

The elf soldiers who had already gained the advantage rushed forward, closing the distance to less than 30 meters with the fastest speed.

Next, the revolver pistols equipped in the elves' troops began to show their power. Coupled with the improved revolver rifles that were even rarer, the melee gunners of the elves fired a round of intensive rapid fire.

The dense bullets flew towards the orc soldiers like hail, and immediately more soldiers fell down screaming.

Blood splattered in all directions, and the orc soldiers with the blood of their companions rushed towards the elf gunner with their long swords held high.

It's a pity that they didn't even have the chance to fight hand-to-hand. Even if they could only fire six times in a row, the power of the revolver was not comparable to that of a long sword.

The gun is faster seven steps away, within seven steps... the gun is really fast and accurate!As the distance got closer, the firepower density advantage of the elves' troops was fully demonstrated, and another battalion of orcs was defeated.

However, just as the battalion of the orc tribe suffered heavy losses and retreated, another infantry battalion of the orc tribe rushed forward shouting Long live Galles.

The bullets loaded by the elves' troops were almost exhausted, and dozens of people were knocked out by the artillery, and they had to give up the position they had just captured before they could gain a firm foothold.

The orcs took advantage of the chaos to fill up the hole, and drove the elves back a hundred meters away with a round of long-prepared volleys.

There is no way, the needle gun is indeed fast enough to reload, but the reloading of the more powerful revolver and revolver rifle takes a long time.

Regardless of the intense firepower when they attacked just now, these people are equipped with weapons from 1860, not weapons from 1940... Those are not submachine guns, just change the magazine.

The orc troops who have been fighting with Augustin Tural's troops for 6 days have actually found some patterns. They usually endure the troops in front of them being massacred by the hail of enemy firepower, and then wait for the opponent's firepower to gradually thin out. , and then counterattack to regain the lost position.

Relying on this method, they have persisted until today, until this time, by sacrificing the lives of soldiers.

Putting away the binoculars, Augustine gritted his teeth and ordered: "The whole army marches in! Assault the enemy's middle army!"

Those are all his direct troops, and every loss of one makes him feel pain!What's more, yesterday afternoon, he already had to let a legion with a large loss be withdrawn to rest.

Another round of attack on the front line was blocked, and Augustin Tural once again thought of the damn envoy of the Cyric Consortium.

The other party threatened to sell weapons to the Kingdom of Galles and even support the private army, forcing him to agree to Cyric's request.

After learning about the production technology of the Augustine family's flash caps, the Cyric consortium came up with the idea of ​​the Augustine family.The two sides were tit-for-tat and refused to give in to each other, even to the point of going to war.

In the end, His Majesty the King of the Yangmu Kingdom stepped forward to mediate the open and secret struggle between the two parties.In terms of new weapons, the two sides reached a settlement.

The price is that Cyric guarantees the Augustine family's factory to operate independently in the poplar kingdom, and voluntarily gives up the future arms market of the poplar kingdom.

At the same time, Cyric also promised not to sell any arms to the Kingdom of Galais, and mobilized his own power to attack the Kingdom of Galais.They sold a lot of artillery to the elves, so that the elves also gained an advantage over the Kingdom of Galles in terms of artillery.

And Cyric will no longer interfere with all the benefits after the defeat of the Galais Kingdom... Even Cyric promised that they would be willing to help the Poplar Kingdom continue to expand in the future.

Correspondingly, Cyric also got what they wanted: they confirmed that the new weapons were indeed from Bunas in the Wright Kingdom, and Tang Mo was the developer of these new weapons.

After confirming the source, Cyric generously gave up the interests in the Yangmu Kingdom - this was a compromise they were planning to make against Tang Mo's forces in the Wright Kingdom.

In the opinion of Cyric's senior management, as long as Tang Mo is destroyed, it is tantamount to eradicating the source of new weapon research and development, and it is obviously easy to go back and deal with the poplar kingdom at the end.

In addition, in order to deal with Tang Mo's tactic of restricting the provision of flash caps, Cyric purchased 10 cardboard ammo from Count Augustine, and reserved a third of the production capacity!
With these extra ammunition that Tang Mo couldn't count, Cyric felt that his side was more confident in launching a local war against Tang Mo.

And the biggest price that Augustine has to pay is that he has to hand over the production technology of the flash cap—this is what the Cyric Group really wants.

In short, after taking out an orc kingdom of Gareth, giving up almost all the industries in the poplar kingdom, and providing some support for the Augustine family, Cyric finally got the formula he dreamed of, the fire hat .

But this also caused the problem that the amount of ammunition in Count Augustin Tural's hands is slightly insufficient.

While Tural was cursing the Cyric Consortium in his heart, two orders came from the center camp of the orc clan.

Seeing that the 17th Legion was about to be annihilated, the generals and commanders of the orcs finally couldn't bear the pressure and dispatched signal soldiers, so that the wolf knights who had been hovering on the two wings and wandering on the edge of the battlefield immediately launched an attack.
