Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 95
"Tang Mo!" Just as Tang Mo was about to get on his horse, Alice called out to him from behind.

Tang Mo turned his head and looked at this delicate and lovely noble lady in military uniform, with a vague smile on his face: "What's the matter?"

"You... Pay attention to safety!" Alice was a little shy and tangled.She couldn't find her position, but felt that she had to stand here and say such a sentence.

Logically speaking, in her capacity, she shouldn't say such things like a little wife, but she just couldn't help coming, and couldn't help but say it.

"Okay!" Tang Mo felt the warmth he hadn't seen for a long time, so he got on his horse, and while pulling the rein, he replied to Alice.

"What mission did the Earl give us?" Weiss asked loudly as he rode on the horse and followed Tang Mo.

"Let's guard Sanchakou! Do you know where it is?" Tang Mo replied without looking back.

"I know... But, are you sure he asked us to do something that we can't do?" Weiss hesitated, but decided to remind Tang Mo.

"No way, if we can't do it, Beiling will have no chance of winning." Tang Mo said helplessly as he rode his horse back to his troops.

Seeing Tang Mo and Weiss come back, Tiger, who had been guarding the team all the time, rode over with Love and others, joining Tang Mo.

Several people found a hillside where they could see the kind of hillside that their own troops passed by on the road, got off their horses, and used this place as a temporary command post.

"Where's the cannon?" Tiger asked curiously because he saw Tang Mo and the others coming back.

According to the original plan, when Tang Mo came back, he should bring back 20 field cannons, and about 200 artillerymen.

These artillery can effectively support their operations on the plain, and can also relieve the pressure on Tang Mo and the others who only have six artillery.

Tang Mo shook his head, and replied helplessly, "Unfortunately, Tiger, there are no more cannons!"

"What do you mean?" Tiger was taken aback, then looked at Wes, and then at Tang Mo.

"The supplies provided by the Kingdom to Lord Fisherol were lost during the defeat, so we can only rely on ourselves now." Tang Mo could only explain in detail.

He briefly said some confirmed and unconfirmed news, which made everyone's faces serious.

Tiger also just learned the latest news: the artillery supporting North Ridge has fallen into the hands of the Susas troops, and it is basically certain that the reinforcements from North Ridge will not arrive.

Without the support of the artillery, and without the support in the direction of Bunas, now they can only rely on the little wealth in their own hands.

"Yes, but we only have 6 cannons!" Loew emphasized in a depressed voice.

Redman didn't want to destroy his prestige, so he opened his mouth and said, "Yes, but we still have 400 quick guns, don't we?"

"My lord! Although we have obvious advantages in guns, artillery is the key to the outcome of a war at a long distance." Tiger is the only commander here who has fought in battle, so at this time, he can only remind him as much as possible. Tang Mo.

He has combat experience, so he must stand up and tell Tang Mo the risks of war, so that Tang Mo can avoid these risks as much as possible.

Earl Fischero let him stay with Tang Mo for this reason: at a critical moment, with an experienced officer like him, at least Tang Mo could have one more person who could advise him.

Hearing what Tiger said, Tang Mo smiled wryly again: "I know, but this is not the worst news."

He had smiled wryly several times this day, because it seemed that what he heard this day was all bad news that couldn't be worse.

It’s as if you went to school one day, and you heard that there would be a test in the afternoon in the first class, but when you looked through your schoolbag, you found that you forgot your notes at home. The paper remembered that he didn't write his name...

"What do you mean? There's even worse news?" Love and Redman on the side were shocked by Tang Mo's words.

If it is not the worst news to use a recruit battalion that is not enough to meet the enemy, then what is the worst news?

Tang Mo didn't have time to play tricks, so he replied bluntly: "Yes, there is even worse news! The Earl wants our troops to advance to Sanchakou! There we will block Susa going north and east. Sri Lanka troops."

"He asked us to kill him? So he can retreat back to Wolf City?" Tiger, who was familiar with the terrain here, immediately turned a little pale.

Tang Mo shook his head, making Tiger's face more or less bloody.However, what he said later made everyone feel the pressure like a mountain: "No, what the earl means is that tomorrow morning he will march westward and start a decisive battle with the enemy in front! He hopes that we can contain the enemy's attack flank, cover him and win the battle."

"Are you kidding? He wants to use 1500 people to attack 5000 people?" Love and Redman shouted in surprise.

In their view, it is not easy to barely hold the line of defense with 1500 people-although there are needle guns, it is still not easy.

However, the Earl wants to use 1500 people to attack 5000 or even 6000 people. This requires courage and courage, which is simply admirable.

"Yes, that's the plan." Tang Mo nodded.

Wes finally interjected, "If he wasn't Fishereau, I'm almost sure he's cheating on us, but he's Fisherau, so... I don't know what to do now."

"The Earl will not abandon us and run away alone." Tiger said with difficulty, "He will definitely launch an attack, there is no doubt about that."

"So, I choose to believe him!" Tang Mo glanced at Tiger, then looked around at his commanders, and then said, "Fortunately, we still have something hidden, don't we?"

It was also the first time that Tiger, who had seen Tang Mo's real family background, couldn't help admiring at this moment: "Yeah, even the Earl doesn't know, you trained 100 more soldiers, you have 6 cannons, and you still have 40 cannons hidden. took [-] cavalry."

He really didn't know that Tang Mo used the pre-trained team as the backbone of the officers, organized the Orion from North Ridge and the unemployed recruited by Bunas into an army, and trained three companies of troops.

He didn't know what the word "company" meant, but he knew that a company Tang Mo mentioned was about 120 people.

Each company has 3 platoons, and each platoon has a platoon leader. These infantry platoons seem to have been trained in the vicious forest before, and they have all performed bandit suppression tasks alone.

What surprised him even more was that the combination of the three companies was Tang Mo's so-called recruit battalion formation, and it really had artillery.

Moreover, the artillery that Tang Mo belonged to was even larger than that of the general battalion-level artillery: Although his battalion only had 6 artillery, it had more than 100 artillery.

These artillerymen were still making up lessons in the classroom half a month ago, and Tang Mo personally taught artillery techniques, but Tiger didn't know the actual combat capabilities.

I only know that these artillerymen are amazingly equipped with more than 100 horses, and there are also 40 carriages accompanying them, which looks like a mighty force.

What's more, for the entire army, every soldier is issued with an engineering shovel, a special lunch box and an exquisite armed belt, and each soldier is issued with a new-style bayonet. A military uniform, plus a quilt, three sets of socks, two sets of thickened trousers and a lined jacket.

All the soldiers have a uniform luggage, the boots are exactly the same style, the officer's coat has horizontal bars as a badge of identity, and the more senior officers even have mink lapels, which looks very classy.

Tiger liked the coat so much that he wore one over his bright yellow Wright uniform.If the color of this coat hadn't been too dull, he might have liked it better.

It can be said that according to Tang Mo's weird organization and luxurious equipment configuration, Tang Mo spent more to arm one battalion than the two battalions of North Ridge.

But then again, Tiger also felt that the new barracks in front of him looked more powerful and handsome than the main army in North Ridge.

According to a strange saying Tang Mo said, it is "Appearance is equal to combat power!"

Tang Mo watched his troops advancing along the road, and he felt more confident in his heart: "Now, these private money will be useful."

Love looked at Redman and saw that the latter was also looking at him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask, "What should we do?"

Tiger, with his experience, was the first to speak: "The enemy's cannons will cause us huge casualties, we must find a way..."

"So we must find a way to offset the enemy's superiority in artillery firepower." Redman, who is the actual commander of this unit, also said at this time.

Tang Mo roughly drew a simple topographical map on the ground with tree branches: "Sanchakou is a good place. Since this is the intersection of three roads, there is a small village. This is the terrain we can rely on."

"I've been there before, there's a low wall here..." Tiger simply added.

Speaking of the low wall, Tang Mo was inspired. He thought of another very famous wall, a low wall that rewrote the course of history.

So, he slid the branches along the road and said, "The road is a slightly higher commanding height. Let's build a low wall along one side of the road to connect this wall with the village."

"But, my lord, how high are we going to build the wall in a hurry? If the project is too large, our soldiers will be fatigued, which will affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers." Tiger felt that relying on a temporary low wall, Not enough to offset the enemy's military superiority.

"Probably, a wall up to the chest is enough." Tang Mo recalled the low wall in his mind, and replied with a smile.
