We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

The Sakaz discovered that the Victorians in front of them were no longer lining up in an extremely long phalanx, marching with their heads held high.Instead, dozens of people were scattered on the front in small clusters, crawling on the ground.

This time, Sakaz's archers were also in a bit of trouble. It was quite difficult to shoot a human head with a crossbow from a hundred meters away, and in the open desert.

The two sides fired at each other for a while, but neither caused any substantial casualties to the other side.

However, Victoria stopped shelling at this moment because she was worried about accidentally hurting her own side, but Sakaz had no such worries.

"put!"

In the rear position, the Sakaz gunner, who had been idle for a day, pulled the match rope of the infantry gun, and the shells roared and hit the area in front of the trench position.

Kazdaile was not able to waste as much as Victoria's artillery and directly cover the entire area with fire, so only 12 infantry guns opened fire.Although the number was small, Sakaz's soldiers would laugh out loud every time they saw a Victorian being rushed into the air by the explosion of a shell.

There are constant explosions on the east side of the urban area of ​​Eureka, and as the real main battlefield, the urban area.It's quite quiet today.

Duke Stafford: Sakaz was injured yesterday and is off today.

After laying down a few small buildings in the city that looked relatively complete, the Victoria army stopped their operations.

The Duke of Stafford was enjoying fine wine and freshly roasted meat with his men while listening to the explosions in the east.

"The people of the Council are really tough. They have been fighting all morning. The damage is probably not small."

The words seemed to be mocking the parliament, but there was not much joy on the Duke's face.

Tomorrow he will go to fight Sakaz. If the people in the parliament attack Sakaz today in this situation and cannot repel them, then Sakaz's power will be too terrifying.

He came to Rem Billiton to make money and ore!You don’t really want to fight Sakaz with your own wealth!

"How are General Harold's troops doing now?"

"I'm not sure, Lord Duke. Their troops were lying in the range of Sakaz's artillery fire and were being beaten."

Hearing his subordinate's answer, Stafford became a little curious. He waved the man over, "What kind of army is it? So willing."

"I'm not sure. I just know that there seem to be some Carters inside."

Stafford was stunned for a moment, then laughed again.

"I know what Harold is going to do. I want to care about him in my name and say that the situation on my side is relatively easy. If you need any help, I will definitely support him."

Chapter 223 Artillery Suppression

Although the Carters huddled in the city of Eureka and did not participate in the battle, the artillery fire on the east side that lasted from early morning to 12 noon still frightened them.

"So the Victorians didn't fight us with all their strength?"

The Carters warriors thought tremblingly that they had never heard the sound of artillery for such a long time before, but Sakaz and the Victoria people had been attacking and defending with high intensity until now.

Carters: Sakaz, nb!

However, by this time of the battle, Sakaz and Filin were actually a little tired, especially since Sakaz stayed in his position, while the Victoria soldiers charged and crawled, which consumed a huge amount of physical energy.

Finally, the order to retreat came, and under the cover of artillery fire, the Victorians quickly retreated.

"This group of films doesn't look very powerful, but they are quite difficult to fight."

"Yes."

Except for those on duty, the rest of the Sakaz sat down in the trench.At this time, the cooking soldier, carrying a large iron can on his back and a metal can in each hand, ran over along the traffic trench.

"It's time to eat! It's time to eat! Take out the lunch boxes, the food has been heated."

Hearing this, the faces of the Sakaz soldiers showed joyful smiles.They took out their lunch boxes and waited for their meals.

"I'm so annoyed by these films today. Is there anything good to eat?"

"Yes, today it's Laitani's stewed animal leg, vegetable essence soup, and Yanguo's fried bean sprouts."

The cook pulled the auxiliary handle and turned the metal cover vigorously. After a minute, the aroma of food wafted throughout the trench.

"It smells so good. With this trench and this kind of food, I can stay here until next year!"

"Fuck you! I don't want to stay here!"

The soldiers of Sakaz were joking casually while queuing up to receive their meals. The tense atmosphere of the war was temporarily hidden at this moment.

Victoria's soldiers also returned to the military camp at this moment. They put down their equipment and dragged their tired bodies to the cooks.

An iron plate, an iron spoon, and a ball of paste on the plate.

"Tsk, eating these again..."

Victoria's soldiers curled their lips in displeasure. This paste was cooked by adding water to iron buns and Victoria corned beef. It was the basic food of Victoria's soldiers.

Originally, he had no objection to this snack, but after being tortured by Sakaz's artillery all morning today, he suddenly felt that this thing was difficult to swallow.

"Isn't there any better food?"

"Yes, I have."

The cook said with a smile: "Go to the officers' mess, there is delicious food there."

While they were talking, a full-time cook walked past the two of them holding a clean white porcelain plate in one hand.Although it was covered with a metal lid, people around him still smelled the aroma of grease.

"Okay, stop looking, this is not the local area, and the environment is harsh."

The logistics soldier who handed out the plates said: "You are still cooked until it becomes soft. The Carters auxiliary soldiers are just chewing it."

His eyes shifted slightly, and he did see the Carters holding iron bread and corned beef jerky to the side, but judging from the hard work on their faces, they probably couldn't chew.

"I really don't know who invented this kind of thing. One is so hard and the other is so salty..."

Muttering in his mouth, he sat down with his food and stuffed the paste on the plate into his mouth in disgust.

The officer sitting in the tent could not see outside. He put a napkin on his chest, picked up the cutlery and cut off a steak.

He asked his lieutenant while chewing.

"Have all the results that General Harold asked us to calculate come out?"

"Come out, the general has confirmed it." The adjutant replied: "Your Excellency, the general, has instructed you to be ready."

"Okay, let's let the soldiers rest for a while."

.........

The animal leg meat and fried bean sprouts placed on the table were already cold, but Manteuffel still didn't take a bite.

Officer Victoria's adaptability exceeded his imagination.The Victorians dispersed their troops and advanced on the ground, greatly impairing their ease of inflicting damage.

"While they caused us trouble, they also showed us how to attack."

Manteuffel muttered thoughtfully, the enemy could learn something like trenches by just glancing at them, and Sakaz would inevitably face attacking the enemy's trenches in the future.

“Where did the Victorians advance this time?”

"The nearest one was 90 meters away from us. They also threw an object at us, injuring two of our soldiers."

The combat staff officer put something in front of him. Manteuffel looked over and found that it was a wooden pipe with something like a metal block stuck at one end.

"Grenade?"

"Yes, this Victoria thing is very annoying. We can't let them get closer than 90 meters, otherwise our soldiers in the trenches will suffer heavy casualties."

"Are there many such soldiers?"

"Not many. I only saw one in a group. Victoria's soldiers are quite brave. They won't run away even if the spell explodes next to them."

"Let the hunters focus on taking care of these people."

Hearing that there were not many people, Manteuffel was relieved. "Order the soldiers to clean the battlefield and collect the equipment of the Victorians. Then add obstacles in front of the trench to prevent these Phillings from really charging over."

"Yes."

The combat staff went out to give orders, and the Sakaz soldiers did not dare to be vague about matters involving their own safety. They filled their stomachs three or two times and started to take action.

Gravel blocks, wooden fences, and various other things were put up.

The artillerymen in the rear were a little more relaxed, they were still enjoying their meal, but at this time.

【boom--】

Explosions sounded one after another, and Sakaz's forward position was once again covered by artillery fire.The artillerymen were holding lunch boxes and looking at the front line, but their battalion commander was looking up at the sky.

"...Run to the north! Quick!"

The soldiers obeyed the order subconsciously, but before they could run a few steps, Victoria's artillery shell suddenly fell into the artillery position.

【boom--】

【boom--】

Artillery shells continued to fall into the area where the artillery position was located, and some shells even accidentally hit the piled infantry artillery ammunition. The huge power generated by the explosion directly lifted the entire infantry artillery, and then fell heavily.

When they first heard the news about Victoria's artillery fire coverage, no one in the headquarters of the [-]st Experimental Division paid much attention.But hearing the explosion from behind, Manteuffel suddenly couldn't sit still.

"How did Victoria know about our artillery positions? What happened to our artillery?"

【boom--】

【hiss--】

A crisp sound sounded, and a shell flew out of the barrel of Victoria's field gun. The entire gun body rushed backwards under the influence of the recoil, but the valve at the rear of the gun body was opened at this time, and steam was ejected. The reaction force generated by the gun body and the spring offsets the recoil force of the gun body and slowly resets.

Listening to the intensive shelling, Harold showed a satisfied smile on his face.

This bombardment was carried out by Parliamentary troops and the Duke of Stafford's artillery. The artillery of four Victorian infantry divisions served a Sarkazi force.

They are very sincere.

Moreover, he had a purpose for letting his troops lie down in the desert to resist Sakaz's artillery fire.Those small troops included Carters tribesmen.

These Carters in the southern part of Rem Billiton have long been accepted into the Victorian culture and are very happy to fight for Victoria.

Their ears were very sensitive, and they had been measuring the location of Sakaz's artillery fire while lying down in the desert.Duke Stafford gave him help at this time, allowing him to suppress Sakaz's infantry and artillery positions at the same time.

"Hahaha, Gaul is gone. I, Victoria, am the expert in playing with artillery. Sakaz still has a lot to learn."

Chapter 224 Haren, moisturized

How did the Victorians know so clearly the positions of our artillery?

Manteuffel was puzzled. All members of the Experimental Division [-] were Sakaz. The possibility of a traitor could be ruled out. Was it detected?

Not getting an answer at once, he could only go to the artillery position to take a look and confirm the damage.

"Division Commander, all 12 infantry guns we fired were destroyed by Victoria."

The artillery commander said depressedly: "We also lost a batch of ammunition."

"If the ammunition and cannons are gone, we will just produce them again! Where is the artillery? What is the damage?"

Manteuffel didn't feel sad at all about the loss of weapons. The soldiers who operated them were what really mattered. They were all skilled artillerymen who had gone through years of training!

"Reporting to the division commander, 7 people were seriously injured and 3 people were slightly injured. They retreated in time."

Hearing the answer from the artillery regiment commander, he breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that he was fine, otherwise he wouldn't be able to explain to His Majesty.

Victoria's artillery seems to be very confident in the effectiveness of its strikes. Now all the artillery is concentrated on Sakaz's forward position to provide fire coverage.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Manteuffel quickly asked: "Can we knock out Victoria's artillery?"

"Our drone has taken off and is searching the ground within 9 kilometers of the site, but Victoria's artillery has not been found. This is already the limit control distance."

The commander of the reconnaissance battalion could not help but feel anxious as he listened to the rumbling sound of artillery.That's a cannon that keeps firing!How could it not be found?

"If the drone cannot detect it, it means Victoria's artillery position is at least 10 kilometers away."

The artillery regiment commander looked solemn and said, "Our infantry artillery has a range of only 6.5 kilometers."

They can't hit the enemy, but the enemy can hit them!Looking at the forward position submerged in smoke and dust, Manteuffel was anxious.

According to previous understanding of the Victoria troops, they must be ordering the troops to move closer to the trench position at this time. Only when they are close to 100 meters will they stop the artillery fire to prevent accidental damage.

We must find a way to stop the Victorians from advancing, but until we figure out why the artillery position was discovered by the enemy, the artillery can no longer be used.

Manteuffel ordered: "Gather all the magicians! Strike blindly at a range of 100 to 150 meters in front of the formation!"

The magician's long-range attack made no sound. Except for direct vision or professional magician sensing, it was impossible to detect it. He wanted to see how the Victorians discovered it.

The Sakaz magicians who received the order gathered together.After taking a medicine to suppress ore disease from the medical soldier, they began to build a circuit of Originium technology.

The pure energy passed through the dust stirred up by the artillery fire and fell on the desert. Victoria's artillery fire at this moment became its cover. It was extremely difficult for the Victoria soldiers crawling on the ground to notice the crisis falling silently above their heads.
