18th century total war

Chapter 416 Bait Cannon Fodder
"Long live! Long live! Long live the Empire!!!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live Emperor Levi!!!"

…………

Alexei threw aside the cigarette butts in his hand, looked at the soldiers throwing helmets to the sky in the distance, and cheered ecstatically.

A big victory against tens of thousands of enemies is indeed worth jumping up for everyone's excitement, but...

Alexei looked at the corpse of the soldier whose expression was fixed at the moment of fear not far away, and couldn't bring up the joy of victory in his heart no matter what.

"The last old friend is gone too.

This damn war! "

Alexei didn't have much affection for the recruits who joined his command not long ago, but it was different for the old comrades who had been with him for several years.

From landing to the present, Alexei was the only old comrade in the same class who clocked in at work in Moscow, and he was the only one left...

"Squad leader, there is a ghost-drawing talisman here. It's so strange that I can't touch it."

A young voice interrupted Alexei's thoughts. He looked up, and a brief memory about the other party instantly appeared in his mind.

This is an 18-year-old recruit.

A Belarusian.

Belarus is naturally an administrative region divided by the Europa Empire after it conquered Eastern Europe.

Similar to a province.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to dismember the territory of Russia, which is too large and far away from the political center of the Europa Empire.

"Ghost painting talisman?"

Alexei stood up leaning on his steel gun, and followed the soldier's guidance to the place he said.

A gully with sharp edges and corners, showing symbols several meters long and wide, a bit like the meticulous graffiti of the neighbor's kid.

Of course, it is impossible for such symbols without any meaning to attract the attention of these soldiers, but the young soldier who reported the report found that he could not destroy the symbols on the ground no matter what. The originally soft soil was engraved on the ground as if it were hard stone. superior!
Alexey took out his dagger and stabbed it hard, slicing it to the side, trying to destroy the strokes on the ghost talisman. In the end, he felt that he was carved on hard steel, and his wrist really hurt.

"This……"

Alexei's eyes were wide open, with an expression of disbelief on his face, a soldier next to him couldn't help but began to draw a cross on his chest.

"God, this is the work of the devil!"

Facing the weird ghost talisman, Alexei stepped back in fear, completely leaving the scope of the ghost talisman, and told the soldiers around him: "You keep an eye on this place, and I will report to the officer."

Alexei had just left and walked less than 50 meters when the soldiers suddenly heard screams from behind. He subconsciously turned his head and looked around. His whole body was frozen in place like a sculpture.

The ghost painting talisman was emitting a bright white light, like an angel descending from the earth, and in the white light appeared several people whose whole bodies were wrapped in armor, and only three holes were exposed on the full-face helmet, corresponding to their eyes and nose.

After Alexey clearly saw the burqa on the armored soldier who appeared, he took his own steel gun and ran away from the opponent with a face full of fear!

That's a human warrior from another world who calls himself the Aligado Empire!

Alexey had heard the trainer emphasize to them more than once that the human warriors of the Arigado Empire were unparalleled in melee combat, and they must not try to fight them at close quarters with bayonets.

The right way to go is to shoot them from a distance, or blow them up into the sky with grenades...

However, Alexey had no intention of resisting at all, because he found that there was white light in more than one place. Looking around, the American puppet army positions occupied by the Europa Empire army were like bright stars, shining in a continuous line. bright!

In his field of vision alone, there are at least dozens of light circles!

However, while his friendly soldiers were relaxing in cleaning up the battlefield and celebrating their victory, those human warriors from the Aligado Empire suddenly appeared beside them!

A large number of enemies who are unparalleled in close combat appear in the crowd of one's own army who has just won a big victory and is very relaxed. What does it mean?
Alexey didn't know what impact this would have on the battle situation. He just wanted to escape from this Shura field!
Alexei never doubted the trainer's words!

"Ants!"

The human warriors of the Arigado Empire who came out of the aperture mainly came from the White Tiger Legion, and the lowest ones were all strong at the sergeant level.

In their eyes, soldiers of the Europa Empire, whose physical fitness is not much better than ordinary people, are really no different from ants.

It's like the peasant uprising army they suppressed on the Makabaka continent, even if they are one against ten, they can kill each other without any damage!
Hundreds of kilograms of three-layer armor were draped on these sergeants without affecting their movements at all. Even the sergeants of the White Tiger Legion who stepped out of the circle reacted faster than the soldiers of the Europa Empire who only wore light military uniforms!

The teleportation circle at the feet of these soldiers flashed white light and then turned into ashes, including the unidentified magic stone energy.

These teleportation circles are all one-time use and consume the non-renewable resource brought to the new world by the Arigado Empire - magic stones.

If it were on the continent of Makabaka, all races had professions proficient in magic. Even dwarves who did not know magic would have instruments specifically designed to test magic power, which could easily identify fixed teleportation circles on the battlefield.

Therefore, this kind of one-time teleportation circle can only be regarded as tasteless on the Makabaka continent.

Not only does it need to consume a lot of magic stone resources, but it also needs to draw a fixed and unchanging magic circle in advance, which cannot be concealed by the eyes of ordinary people...

Although it is difficult for ordinary weapons to destroy the magic circle, these magic circles are very vulnerable to magic attacks, and the magic stone energy is embedded on the surface, directly attacking the core of the magic stone can abolish this one-time teleportation magic circle.

However, the one-time teleportation magic circle, which is not taken seriously on the Macabaka continent, is perfect for dealing with the Europa Empire, which does not understand magic at all.

The most important thing is that the Arigado Empire has proven that there are no magicians among the troops of the Europa Empire that landed.

This means that let alone destroying the teleportation magic circle, it would be difficult for them to even see through it.

Obviously, this information gap about magic allowed the Arigado Empire to successfully send a large number of elite soldiers of the White Tiger Legion to the main army of the Europa Empire, which was physically fragile.

Before they could react, the soldiers led by Alexey were cut into two pieces by a sword energy wielded by the Arigado Empire sergeant who stepped out of the magic circle. The incision area exuded the smell of barbecue, and there was no trace of it. A trace of blood flowed out...

The fighting spirit inspired by the human warrior training system in the Makabaka Continent is actually a high-strength thermal energy attack in essence.

Several White Tiger Corps sergeants who came out of the magic circle were a combat team, and the corporal leader inside was their leader.

After dealing with several ant enemies around them, they glanced at Alexei who had already run away, and ignored the frightened deserter. They held a shield in one hand and a sword in the other, walking with heavy but fast steps. , rushed to the crowded place.

On the originally occupied position of the American puppet army, sword energy crisscrossed the area. The soldiers of the Empire's local garrison, who barely reacted, fired bullets at the Arigado Empire's sergeants. Although they penetrated the three layers of armor, The kinetic energy has been attenuated by half.

The vindictive shield covered on the body by the sergeants firmly blocked him.

This is why the sergeants of the White Tiger Legion wear three layers of armor weighing hundreds of catties.

Even if the armor cannot resist the penetrating power of the bullet, it can reduce the kinetic energy of the bullet penetrating, so that the sergeants will consume a lot of fighting energy when they are bulletproof.

At least, it can reduce the consumption of fighting spirit by half!
This is not a small value. For example, an imperial soldier who could withstand one bullet could withstand two bullets with this set of armor!
Of course, this calculation is not very accurate. After all, the closer the bullet is shot, the stronger the penetrating power, and the greater the consumption of bulletproof for the sergeants.

What's more, the soldiers of the Europa Empire not only have guns and bullets, but also the wooden handle grenades that each soldier is equipped with, which is their trump card weapon against the Arigado Empire.

The sneak attack of the White Tiger Army of the Ali Gordo Empire was very sudden, but the Imperial Garrison Army, which was used as the advance team, was not weak.

Although their combat effectiveness and equipment are not as good as the Imperial Guards, and they do not have the courage to fear death, but they are troops that have been trained for several years, even if they are supplementary soldiers, they are also reserves that have been trained for several years!

After a brief period of panic, the experienced combat officers immediately began to organize soldiers to try to fight back. Amidst the sword energy, there were sudden sounds of grenade explosions and uneven gunfire.

However, there are stubborn resistance and imperial-minded officers who desperately organize manpower to fight back, and there are people like Alexey who only want to save their own lives and deserters or even officers.

Because of this, the generals of the advance army of the Europa Empire, which was cut into pieces by the soldiers sent by the White Tiger Legion of the Arigado Empire, had no time to command the large troops, and all relied on the organizational strength and bravery of the middle and low-level officers.

Soon, the White Tiger Legion's melee advantage was fully reflected in the melee.

Fleeing to a small forest, Alexei, who was temporarily out of the war zone, felt that he was out of danger. He turned his head and looked over, and found that there were people of his own who were being chased and killed by armored warriors everywhere, and the sound of explosions became more and more sparse...

Alexei looked at the black dragon flag in the rear with a puzzled look.

Why didn't the officials send the reserve team to fight back when the main force of the advance team was beaten like this?

Tens of thousands of American puppet troops, it is not worth the advance team of more than [-] to put all the troops up. At this time, there must be a large number of reserve teams that have not joined the battle.

But soon Alexei put aside this confusion, because he found that the main force of the friendly forces on the former American puppet army had collapsed, and the pursuit of the armored warriors made the war zone expand infinitely.

At this moment, Alexey suddenly saw dozens of red flares flying in the sky.

At the same time, the Europa Empire gunboat near the coastline raised a series of muzzles with a bowl-sized mouth, and began to aim according to the established coordinates.

On the battlefield where Alexei was, a man who looked like a god of war rode a handsome horse and stepped out of the largest teleportation magic circle. He was a knight commander in the White Tiger Legion, a top powerhouse!
Then a large number of Judgment Knights, all of whom were knights at the lowest level, walked out of the teleportation aperture. These four-legged Judgment Knights quickly joined the pursuit, accelerating the collapse of the main front-line force of the advance team!

As for the reserve team that should exist in Alexei's impression, there is actually no one at all!

Not all the senior officials sent the advance team of the [-]-strong army. The news Alexey received was just like other middle- and low-level officers, it was all false news...

The advance team that actually entered the battlefield was actually only more than [-] people.

The Arigado Empire's teleportation magic circle was something that was incomprehensible to the generals of the Europa Empire, but to Merlin, it was nothing more than child's play.

Using [-] advance troops as cannon fodder to fish out the main force of the Aligado Empire's White Tiger Legion is a very cost-effective deal!

After all, the strength of the core legion of the Arigado Empire is one dead and one less, and there is no way to replenish it.

Alexei, who was tumbling all the way to escape in the complicated terrain, suddenly felt the ground shaking. He turned around in horror, and the battlefield behind him was already shrouded in the bombardment of artillery fire.

"Ship...ship gun!
There are still so many of our own people, how could the empire issue such an order! "

Alexei watched the earth-shaking naval guns washing the ground, and suddenly woke up, looking for a place to avoid the shelling!
The battlefield is not on a plain with a wide view, but a jungle and hilly area with many shelters.

In a war like this, it would be difficult for the Europa Empire's bombers to hit their targets, and the bomb load of the Europa Empire's bombers was also a problem.

But naval guns don't have this difficulty.

In terms of firepower, the Europa Empire's armored ships have an absolute advantage!

This is also the reason why the North American Operations Command of the Europa Empire used [-] advance troops as cannon fodder to fish out the White Tiger Legion of the Arigado Empire.

After all, as the battle line deepens, it will soon escape the area covered by naval guns.

The Knights of Judgment, who were wantonly chasing and killing the remnants of the enemy, were baptized by shells they had never seen before before they recovered their senses.
That was a large-caliber naval gun, several times more powerful than the artillery that destroyed the Xuanwu Legion!
Even the strongest knight commander, after resisting more than a dozen large-caliber naval gun bombardments, his fighting spirit was exhausted and his body was blown apart...

The naval gunfire bombardment lasted for nearly half a day, and the gunboats consumed all the shells in the warehouse!
Of course, the results achieved by the North American Combat Command were brilliant. Nearly half of the White Tiger Army was taken away by a wave...

After the rumbling sound disappeared, Alexei, who had narrowly escaped death because he was far away from the battlefield, crawled out with a confused look on his face.

In the distance, the smoke from the fire covered the sky.
