Chapter 172 Street Fighting Training

"Keep firing! Quick! Quick! Quick! Pay attention to aiming at the weak points of the enemy's armor, don't waste bullets!
The mage aimed at those knights in silver armor!Also, watch out for enemy arrows! "

"Bang bang bang!"

The gunshots of Type 2 rifles were heard one after another on this battlefield, and bullets made of plaster and paper fibers and arrows with arrowheads were flying around in mid-air.

According to the rules of the exercise, an ordinary knight's armor would be declared dead if it received two shots at the same part, while the new army was protected by leather armor, so it was judged that it could still have a certain combat effectiveness in addition to being hit by the arrows of the city guards at the fatal position.

From time to time, the charging knights were judged dead by the spectators who were transferred from logistics officers because the shields in their hands could not be covered in time.

"Grenade!"

The squad leader of class 1213 saw the knights covering their torsos with thick shields, striding towards the stronghold of the house where his class was located, almost 30 meters away from the wooden Juma, and immediately roared.

Several soldiers standing in the fire cover position hurriedly put down their rifles, took a grenade from their canvas belts, ignited the grenade tremblingly with the spark tube provided, and threw it far away.

With a sound of "Boom!", the grenade that had reduced most of its charge exploded into a cloud of white smoke, and the knights from the city guard system shrouded in it helplessly put down their shields and long swords, lay down on the ground and started chat:

"What's the use of this new army and the exercise you say? I don't feel anything except eating a mouthful of white ash!"

"Don't underestimate these new troops. Although the new weapons in their hands are now firing some white stones, it is not painful to hit us, but in the previous demonstration in the palace, this new weapon fired The crossbow-like projectiles of , can easily break through ordinary unenchanted armor.

In other words, if you were really fighting them, you would be dead by now! "

A palace guard knight who was unfortunately hit by the spell of the royal mage assigned by class 1213 and was judged to be seriously injured and lost his mobility was lying on the ground, explaining to the temporary subordinate beside him with a dignified expression.

He had watched the drill in Wyrmrest Palace before, so he naturally knew the true power of those seemingly useless wood and steel pipes.

"Those iron pipes are really so powerful?"

A blue army knight wearing the city guard's black standard plate armor suddenly said with some surprise.

"That's right, it is because of the power of the new weapons that His Majesty sent us to participate in the 'exercise' with the new army to test their combat effectiveness.

And among them there is a new type of weapon called artillery, which can fire projectiles about the size of a fist. The power of that weapon is hard to resist even enchanted armor, unless it is pure gold armor! "

The knights of the palace guard seriously explained to the fallen knights.

"Boom boom boom!"

It seemed to be in response to the knight's words, and suddenly there were three roaring sounds from the adjacent exercise block not far to the west. That was the blue army's garrison site, which was modeled after the south gate of Dragon's Rest Palace. city ​​walls.

There, the main force of the blue army, consisting of palace guard knights, royal mages and most of the city guards, is stationed.

"Have you heard that? That's the movement of the cannon!"

The knight of the palace guard pointed to the west and said, with the evidence of these thunderous sounds, the knights around believed the words of the knight of the palace guard.

On the other side, at the scene where the artillery sounded, the first and second artillery companies of the new army had already set up artillery on a position by the river about 800 meters away from the blue army's garrison point.

Although the fired ammunition was not live ammunition, the soldiers still carried out every step strictly in accordance with the requirements in the "80mm Caliber Breech-loading Artillery Manual" under the supervision of the officers.

"Report from the side observation point, the shell missed the target and fell to the north!"

"Basic observation point report, the shell missed the target and fell north!"

"The distance is 770m, the bearing is 22 degrees north by west, continue to shoot!"

The squad leader in charge of the artillery and the calculators in the artillery squad got the information provided by the mage, calculated it again, and re-reported the shooting parameters. Several gunners immediately began to adjust the angle of the barrel and the elevation of the gun body.

"emission!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

The ten cannons of the two artillery companies roared at the same time, and continuous thunder rang out on the exercise site, throwing paper shells near the simple city wall hundreds of meters away, blooming white flowers on the ground. Gypsum dust clusters.

"Report from the side observation point, the target was not hit! The landing point is to the east!"

"Basic observation point report, missed the target! The landing point is to the east!"

"it is good!"

Rye Rand saw through the magic light screen beside him that the first artillery company he led had been trained for this period of time, and in the second round of shelling, he was able to adjust the error to less than 40 meters away from the target point. place, nodded in satisfaction, and continued to issue instructions:
"End the school shooting and start the extended bombardment!!"

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!"

A round of specially-made blank shells extended from the point where the shells fell just now to the city wall. The knights standing on the city wall looked at this scene with serious faces, while the infantry below the city waited for orders.

When dozens of shells hit the same city wall with balls of white ash, it was declared that the city wall had been breached. Several royal mages softened the breached city wall into soil, and the attackers and defenders immediately started a fierce battle.

This kind of exercise lasted until the evening, when the four infantry companies that conducted the exercise on the first day finally got familiar with the steps of the exercise, and after successfully completing the last exercise, the report of the exercise was also sent to Xia Lin by Viscount Hart.

"73 people were killed, 150 and six were injured, and the enemy killed 92 and 130 and five were injured? Viscount Hart, do you think the alliance members will be satisfied with this result?"

Xia Lin briefly read the first day's exercise report and asked Viscount Hart.

"Of course, being able to use the same number of new army soldiers against the Cavaliers is definitely a profitable business for us.

After all, no matter what, a knight is not as easy to train as a soldier of the new army!And most importantly, they held on to their stronghold, didn't they? "

Viscount Hart said with some excitement, after familiarizing himself with the procedure of the exercise and giving full play to the various skills and tactical applications he usually taught, today the four infantry companies of the new army performed for the last exercise for the few who watched the exercise. The guests gave a very impressive performance, which gave him quite enough confidence, but then Viscount Hart asked hesitantly:

"However, Sir Xia Lin, are you sure we need to include in the exercise plan the content that the First Artillery Company and the Second Artillery Company will shell Wyrmrest Palace?
I can definitely make some adjustments in advance so that our soldiers can directly enter Wyrmrest Palace to control the situation on the [-]th day! "

"Viscount Hart, recently the officers in the [-]st Guards Division and the [-]nd Guards Division who are leaning towards our enlightened faction have reported to Her Royal Highness that there are many noble officers who support the conservative faction recently, such as the [-]nd Guards Division The General Bonofau Barlow has made strange movements.

Moreover, the Eugene family has found some very interesting things in the past few days. There have been some abnormalities in the sewers of the imperial capital recently. They found out that they seemed to be caused by some surreptitious evil mages and gray organizations, and the background of those gray organizations, It turned out to be the conservative nobles.

I have some doubts that the conservatives are also carrying out certain plans. Although our strength is sufficient to control Wyrmrest Palace, we must also guard against accidents. "

Xia Lin handed over the recently received intelligence documents to Viscount Hart for him to review in detail.

Through these clues, Xia Lin had a vague premonition that the conservatives were also planning some kind of ulterior plan, but Xia Lin couldn't understand why the conservatives did this.

After all, in Xia Lin's opinion, Emperor Prieter will soon make Prince Fermod the crown prince. No matter how they think about it, they don't need to make any big moves like the enlightened faction to save the situation.

"I know Bonofau of the Barlow family, he undoubtedly supports Prince Fermod, and it's normal to have some changes in this situation.

But the sewer... Is it possible that the conservatives are transporting troops through the sewer? "

After reading the two intelligence documents, Viscount Hart rubbed his chin and said to Xia Lin in a joking tone.
