Chapter 264 The Enemy Is Making Progress
In the headquarters of the main position, little Franz carefully observed the enemy's formation through a telescope.

A trainee staff officer was reciting the text in a low voice while observing the enemy's situation: "For a long time, there were three axes on the battlefield, firepower, protection, mobility, and all weapons and tactics revolved around these three... "

Little Franz didn't care about him. Many people had to do something when they were nervous, and he kept chewing fruit jelly.

On the opposite side, Phocas and Arda coordinated the deployment of the two armies. The main force attacked the main position on the side of the mountain, and some troops launched a containment attack on the hillside by the lake.

The diverted troops stopped more than 200 meters away from the mountain bag, and fired at the mountain bag from a long distance, and the bullets fell on the position from time to time.

Eugene felt that it was very boring, and the enemy could not show his abilities without attacking, so he ordered the soldiers on the ground to rest in the cat hole dug out by the edge of the trench.

Little Franz looked at the time, there were still four hours before sunset, and there was a lot of time to slowly kill the enemy.

Arda ordered all the artillery to bombard the enemy's main position to cover the approach of the main force. In his opinion, Wesson's army was very afraid of death, and the artillery could scare them from showing their heads.

Little Franz just smiled as he looked at the enemy's artillery.

Previously, Frederick had the idea of ​​selling this kind of bronze muzzle-loading gun, at least for sea ships to defend against pirates, so Springfield Armory had made a few of them.

As a result, after the experiment, it was found that the performance and price of this kind of artillery are not as good as the jet mortar. The biggest disadvantage is the heat dissipation problem. If you shoot too much, you have to stop to cool down.

But others don't know that in a backup headquarters, Dragases and his loyal ministers and those who came to seek refuge looked a little pale. Such a big iron ball falling from the sky is quite powerful.

The enemy is approaching, the first row is the Musketeers of the Ghazi Empire, the second row is the spearmen, the third row is the magician group and archers, the magician is holding up the shield to prevent the long-range attack from the opposite side.

Little Franz gave the order: "Mortars attack the enemy's magic shield and magician, and the pea gunmen on the first line of defense launch short shots after the shield is broken."

Not long after, black dots flew up from the position, heading straight for the enemy.

The archers in the formation suddenly drew their bows and shot arrows, as if to intercept mortar shells.

It has to be said that the archers of Phokas are indeed well-trained. When the mortar shells flew to the top, everyone was already full of bows, and then shot into the air.

Wei Senjun was surprised by this operation, and he could still play like this.

As a result, two mortar shells were fired into the fuze and exploded in the air.

For Phocas, it was useless to do so.

The mortars of the Wesson army used three rapid shots to shoot at the enemy's magic shield, the first two shots broke the shield, and the third shot killed.

The artillery shells exploded in the enemy's formation, but did not achieve the expected effect.

"Smart!" Little Franz couldn't help but praise the enemy.

Wessons are developing, and others are working on them.

At the moment when the shells were about to hit the ground, all the enemies lay down or squatted down. Although the team was a bit chaotic, the casualties were minimized.

At this time, Arda issued the latest order, and the whole army suddenly got up and ran back, but there was no chaos.

Little Franz frowned, not knowing what the enemy was doing, was it just a firepower test just now?
Arda couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that all the troops had come running back.

He discussed with Phokas for a while, and after spending more than an hour adjusting the formation, he launched an attack again.

This time they were divided into many companies, and each company consisted of 50 musketeers, 200 cold weapon fighters, and one or two magicians.

The people in the company stood relatively loose, and there was a large distance between the companies. Under the cover of re-firing artillery, they hunched forward and trotted forward to attack.

On the hillside by the lake, Frederick nodded and said, "Now that the enemy has learned his lesson, it's interesting."

Eugene said with some concern: "In this way, our advantage will be reduced."

"It's okay." Frederick smiled. "It will happen sooner or later. This also reminds us that we can't rest on our laurels with a small advantage. Others will develop and catch up."

Then little Franz gave his latest order: hit hard!
The mortar started to shoot. This time, the enemy's magic shield provided an early warning function. As soon as they heard the sound of an explosion above their heads, everyone below immediately fell down, and after the remaining shells exploded, they got up and continued to attack.

However, the enemy only cared about the head, not the front.

The overwhelming rain of bullets hit from the front, and the fastest enemy was quickly knocked to the ground.

The sniper started shooting at the enemy magician, and the climbing magician was the best target.

Phocas's cavalry moved. Instead of confronting Dragases' cavalry on the mountain side, they attacked the open slope between the hill by the lake and the main position, attempting to attack the rear of the main position from there.

Little Franz immediately ordered the artillery to suppress the enemy's artillery, and the cavalry behind the main position to hedge.

Arda was not far from his artillery position, when he suddenly heard a strange sound from the sky.

The Wesson Army was not idle while waiting for the enemy to arrive. The artillerymen compiled a shooting table, and only needed to shoot according to the data in different wind directions and different areas on the table.

The 6 artillery were divided into two groups, covering the place where the enemy stored gunpowder.

Arda only saw a red light flashing in front of her eyes, and when she woke up, she found that she was in the tent, and it was very noisy outside.

Not long after, Phocas' fat body squeezed into the tent, and Arda wanted to get up, but was held down by Phocas.

"Have a good rest." Phocas was not angry, but only calmly comforted, "We were defeated in the afternoon, the infantry failed to attack the position, the cavalry was defeated by the enemy's cavalry, and the fire powder was gone, so I ordered a retreat."

"But it doesn't matter, you did a good job. After attacking the small hill by the lake, you immediately thought of a new method. In the end, our casualties were not large. Wesson's army didn't pursue them. We recovered a lot of weapons, those bronze cannons It's all brought back."

"Now that the reinforcements have arrived, Hakan has also arrived. Richard Nall did not show up today. It should be that the injury is not healed. The advantage has come to our side."

"Take a good rest, and then think of a solution after resting. I will let you command the next battle."

Arda was very moved. He was only a mercenary, but he was completely trusted by Phocas.

Phocas left after saying a few words. Not long after, someone brought wine and meat, and several belly dancers came to serve.

After eating something, Arda lay down and rested quietly, and did not fuck the dancers.

At this moment, he is brewing a new tactic, which should be feasible.
