Chapter 562: Offensive Battle

Although the Servants of the New Holy Cross Kingdom have experienced many battles, this is the first time they have encountered a modern enemy.

There was still some commotion when there was a sudden shell attack.

The strict training also came into play at this time. When the officer reacted, he quickly stopped the chaos.

"Line up, what are you afraid of?

Line up, all line up for me. "

An infantry cannon that causes more panic than damage.

In fact, during daily training, there is formation training facing artillery.

This is brutal training that allows for casualties.

After calming down, the servant regiment began to line up and neatly exited the range of artillery fire.

At this time, their infantry artillery was deployed, and a total of twelve infantry artillery began to fire.

Position and fire.

Just after the servant regiment began to line up, Ferranz quickly shot the cannonballs around him and urged the servants to move the infantry cannon.

"Let's go, if the officers on the other side are professional enough, they will be suppressed by artillery fire soon."

Just this infantry gun, facing the firepower of an entire regiment of the opponent alone, is undoubtedly courting death.

Everyone pulled the traction rope and quickly moved the infantry cannon.

Ten minutes after they left, the counterattack from the servant group came down.

The booming artillery fire easily destroyed the temporary fortifications. If they hadn't run fast, Ferranz and his party would have been doomed.

At this time, he was observing with a telescope in the distance, and he was a little surprised by the opponent's artillery: "The quality is good, and the reaction speed is not slow.

Most of the gun positions we prepared are useless, and they will be gone in one counterattack. "

When the opponent has qualified artillery and suppressive firepower advantage, these simple artillery positions are as good as nothing.

This was the worst-case scenario. He didn't know if his ragtag group of men could hold on under artillery suppression.

Ferranz was still worried. After a brief rest, the servant group had already begun to organize an attack.

Having just been tricked, the officers of the servant regiment were obviously unwilling to accept it. At this time, they hurriedly completed the repairs and began to send people to attack.

When the servants began to attack in skirmish lines, scattered gunshots began to sound.

The officer from the Kingdom of Holy Cross held up the telescope, and his heart became heavier the more he looked at it.

Although the firepower arrangement on the opposite side is rigid, it is comprehensive and has no loopholes.

Moreover, trenches and anti-cannon pits have been dug. It is obvious that the opponent is not an ordinary person.

This tentative attack may be fruitless.

Sure enough, a tentative attack, which tested some of the firepower and density, ended in a hurry.

However, Ferranz had nothing to be happy about. Despite the lively fighting between the two sides, only a few people died.

And although I had a good layout, I had too little experience and had just exposed too many firepower points.

If everything goes well, the next step will be a formal attack.

Although the officers of the Holy Cross Kingdom have not attended military schools, each of them has experienced the Unification War of Great Xia.

Being beaten also gained experience, not to mention that they already had family traditions.

Within a moment, the regrouped servant group began to attack.

The fighting lasted all day, and Ferranz was exhausted.

Fortunately, the three-dimensional defense line was arranged in advance, and the first wave of official attacks almost broke through the outer defense line.

After several attacks, the slave hunters retreated steadily and gave up all outer defense lines.

During this period, the opponent's artillery fire never stopped, and there was a bombing from time to time. Obviously there was no shortage of supplies.

The final result was that one of Ferranz's only two infantry cannons was gone. If he hadn't run so fast, he would have been dead as well.

Having never experienced war, he could not imagine what cruelty was.

If it hadn't been getting late, I might not be able to relax today.

As night fell, he finally blocked the opponent's attack.

Ferranz was a little frustrated. In his opinion, these servant groups could only be regarded as third-rate troops. If he were given a group of regular troops, even if they were garrison troops, they would not be suppressed.

While eating the dry food he brought, Ferranz thought about how to save his life.

At this time, Hubble came up and whispered: "Sir, we must regain the lost position, otherwise we will definitely not be able to survive tomorrow."

Hubble doesn't understand military affairs, but he can understand the situation clearly.

He didn't want to die in the hands of a group of tools. He could only be a shooter during the daytime battle, but he didn't want to sit back and wait for death at night.

After being reminded, Ferranz also woke up and said: "Yes, we will organize a counterattack at night to seize some positions and come back."

The two discussed quietly and decided to wait until midnight to take action.

In order to succeed, they specially selected some fierce men to rest in advance.

In the second half of the night, when people are most tired, Ferranz got up so early for the first time.

I washed my face with some cold water and felt a little more awake.

"Don't let me go back alive, otherwise I will definitely find the person who framed me." Ferranz gritted his teeth in his heart, and he had confirmed that he was being plotted.

But now, you should think about how to survive.

Hubble also clenched his rifle tightly. He had suffered a big loss on this trip. He must ask Goode to compensate for his losses when he returned.

The two have different ideas, but their determination is the same.

The main force in the counterattack was also the outlaws of the Wolf Gang.

Under the night, the slave hunters approached quietly.

God was kind, and there was a mist at this time.

The servant regiment also arranged sentries, but their vigilance was indeed greatly reduced in the second half of the night.

When the slave hunters counterattacked, they were caught off guard and driven out of the village again when gunfire sounded.

This fight lasted for two hours, and the vassal regiment could not launch a large-scale counterattack in the dark.

When it was light, the position was taken back by the slave hunters.

This surprised an imperial infantry battalion that had been lurking nearby.

According to the intelligence they received, there were a group of slave hunters guarding here, plus a playboy with no military experience.

But it was too exaggerated that they could take back the position at night after fighting against the regular army for a day.

"Is there a problem with the intelligence? Isn't it said that the New Holy Cross Kingdom's army has good combat effectiveness? This is obviously inflated." The battalion commander had reason to doubt the accuracy of the intelligence.

The performance of the vassal regiment did not live up to the name of the regular army.

It was still the staff officer who reminded him: "Battalion commander, don't forget that the one inside is also named Perez, how could he really be a waste."

The bloodline theory is still very popular in the Great Xia Empire.

When the battalion commander heard it, he felt that he could understand it.

But we can't take any more risks. If something unexpected happens, we won't be able to explain it to our superiors.

He began to give orders: "Let the brothers move around. Let's show the Perez family's children the level of our graduates from the Army School."
