Chapter 247, War in Suburban Town

For the army of the Kingdom of Luman, the knights don’t really care about the casualties of cannon fodder;

But the damage to the sentinel mecha is painful.

Death is one thing. The destruction of a sentinel mecha is almost equivalent to the bankruptcy and demotion of a small knight family under the feudal political system of the Kingdom of Luman.

What kind of knight is it without a sentinel mecha?

There are only about a hundred "knights" attacking the town this time. At least twenty sentinel mechas have been lost so far.

The morale of the remaining people has been seriously damaged.

Even the two knight titans have retreated.

The Ranger-class Knight Titan is equipped with a shield generator, but the power is not particularly large. After all, the size of 5.2 meters is here, and it is not luxurious enough to put a miniaturized generator. If it is used at a normal scale, the load of the shield generator is also very large and difficult for the Ranger class to withstand.

The shield generator, which has been castrated with a lot of strength, can't withstand too many bombardments of 155 howitzers.

In fact, after these four rounds of bombardment, the shield generators of the two Knight Titans were destroyed.

So far, it is definitely not a big damage. After half an hour, if they are not beaten again, the shield generator will start working again; or now, they can also hold on and let the shield generator overload.

At the same time, the Knight Titan itself is strong enough to be hit by a few shells.

They have the opportunity to charge forward in a big way when there is a gap in the firepower.

The defensive positions built by the Alliance Expeditionary Force through barricades and residential houses are impossible to stop them. Wherever the rapid-fire cannons and laser cannons point, the positions there will fly into the sky. This firepower is not a concept.

But the two great nobles still retreated.

What if they kill all the expeditionary forces of the Alliance? What if a Ranger-class Knight Titan is damaged in the process?

Let alone a broken shield generator, even if it was overloaded, causing subsequent generator failures; or the mecha was directly hit by a few shots, causing damage, or even just losing the paint... that would be very heartbreaking!

The cost of maintaining and repairing this big guy is also sky-high!

If there is any problem with this big machine, even the nobles, earls, marquises, and princes, will not be able to use it.

After realizing that the Alliance Expeditionary Force is indeed capable of hurting them, although they know that they are determined to rush forward, two Knight Titans rushed into the town, that is, God will kill God and Buddha, with their breakthrough, the Kingdom Army followed up, and the battle was basically won.

But they finally chose to retreat.

700,000 tax coins, for a noble family, how many years will it take to save it? What's more, if the Knight Titan is lost, I am afraid that the status of a noble will soon be lost, or at least it will be seriously damaged. In this case, there may not be a chance to save up the 700,000 tax coins.

To put it bluntly, the two Titans were nobles, not barefoot men. For them, war was a means of profit and a way to win merit, not something that really cost them their lives, property, and even the survival of their entire family.

So why bother?

The two Knight Titans retreated, and the pressure on the Alliance Expeditionary Force's defense line suddenly decreased.

When they first came out and exerted their power, the old partners Perbov and Leroy were indeed quite nervous.

Although they were hastily repelled and did not exert much strength at all, even so, the Alliance Expeditionary Force suffered a heavy blow.

At least 400 people were killed or injured by these two machines

The main reason was that they were inexperienced and not well prepared.

Earlier, a round of 32 rockets fired by these two war machines destroyed more than a dozen Alliance artillery pieces and caused casualties of hundreds of artillerymen.

Afterwards, the rapid-fire howitzers and laser cannons in the charge destroyed multiple positions and caused more than 200 casualties.

After suffering losses, they summed up some lessons.

For example, in the case of artillery being threatened, the transport trucks and artillery will never be disconnected. After several rounds of rapid artillery fire, they will quickly change positions.

For example, in the environment of a small town, the artillery will try to cover and shield the artillery positions.

For example, in the outer defensive positions, the combat team of a single defense point should reduce the number of people, but increase the number of defense points. Under the premise of maintaining the density and layering of firepower as much as possible, disperse the troops to avoid excessive casualties when being hit by firepower.

These means can effectively reduce the threat of the two Knight Titans.

But this alone is not enough.

Defending the main position is the most basic.

Before this, they had received news that the Governor's Mother was attacked and Lakrosa was evacuating her out of the city.

Although they repelled the enemy's attacks many times, both Perbov and Leroy deeply understood that their goal of coming here far away from their hometown was to ensure the safety of Ms. Wang Qi.

It was not enough to just repel the enemy's attacks.

However, when the two Knight Titans ended hastily, Perbov and the others also keenly realized that the two most terrifying war machines had a weak fighting will.

This was a good opportunity.

So, after a brief discussion, the two handed this important task to the 38th Brigade. They separated the main armored forces and carried out a rapid assault.

The forward scouts found the location of the two withdrawn Knight Titans and clearly saw that they were loading new long-range rockets with the assistance of heavy engineering machines.

——It’s hard not to see it. It’s easy to find two six-meter-high guys with a telescope.

It seems that they don’t plan to continue the hard attack, but rely on the rockets equipped by the Knight Titan to have a range advantage far exceeding the 155 howitzer, and carry out safe bombing from a distance.

But don’t be too afraid of this.

The rocket launcher of the Ranger Knight Titan is powerful, but the ammunition capacity is only sixteen rounds. Every time it is loaded, it is very troublesome. It depends on engineering machines, and the firepower density is very problematic.

Then carry it first.

The main force of the 38th Brigade, which rushed out to race, quickly rushed out of the town according to the information brought back by the scouts, chose a road that would not encounter the Knight Titan, successfully broke through, and picked up Ms. Wang Qi who was protected by Lacroxia.

On the way back, the two Knight Titans were like crazy and blocked the way back.

That's why Perbov had to lead the main force of the 37th Brigade and the remaining troops of the 38th Brigade to go out together to meet them.
