Chapter 19 Riot
Although the things that can be taken away are limited, the system will also give some compensation in this regard. For example, if he plans to take out the Vika Musketeers, then the Vika Musketeers' charge will become normal gunpowder, not a mixed powder mainly composed of blue crystal ore.
In addition, the system will not erase people's memories. A long time later, the lords figured out a sufficiently evil method.
That is to fill up the number of people entering the dungeon and send them directly to learn all kinds of knowledge that should be available in this era, or even to work and learn the production process. The knowledge and experience will not be erased. They rely on this backboard method to learn the knowledge and experience in the dungeon and bring it back to their own territory.
The first few times they actually succeeded, and later... Later, those who had this idea were directly thrown into the battlefield with the highest intensity by the system, and waited until 99% of the people died before opening it to you to continue exploring.
But this idea has been passed down, and the system has not restricted it.
In general, as long as the mind does not slip, there are always more ways than difficulties.
The content of the dungeon is too rich, sometimes giving the lords who enter the dungeon an illusion.
It's like a slice of the world.
Each entry may lead to an infinite number of branch routes.
When they reach the end of the slice, click - the copy ends and the final assessment is made.
So what is the actual test for them? Ji Lin guessed that it is variables.
The variables that these people can cause to the copy.
The greater the variables, the better the final assessment they can get. Yue Fei successfully fought against the Jin Dynasty, Napoleon did not fall at Waterloo, and Britain won the War of Independence. The main focus of the inspection is subjective initiative.
At each historical moment, pry the support and guide the track in different directions.
In steam and steel, how many fulcrums can pry the world?
Battle of Seta Plain.
The Seta Plain connects the two countries of Mia and Vika, but it is a spacious plain with only a few hills and mountains. Such a wide plain is a snake's seven inches for both Vika and Mia, but the first to launch the attack must bear the disadvantages brought by the long supply line.
Mia, Vika's enemy, often has border conflicts between the two countries. The fuse of this conflict came from a blue crystal rich ore belt discovered on the border, which was in the disputed area.
After the steam engine revolution brought by the blue crystal mine, an industrial city-state Seta rose on this plain with the multiple mineral veins discovered. A large number of small settlements radiated around it, and a new fatal problem came. Now as long as Seta can be captured, front-line supplies can be obtained, and the opponent's death point can be strangled by advancing forward.
As a city-state claiming permanent neutrality, Seta does not want to participate in the struggle between the two military powers, and Mia and Vika keep it just because they are not at ease if it is occupied by either of them.
Vika decided to strike first.
When the Vika advance team attacked this industrial city here, they suffered a devastating blow from the Seta cannon. The governor's mecha was destroyed, and the Vika advance team, which lost its siege capability, failed to successfully capture the city, causing the large army behind to have to send multiple troops to compete for this strategic location.
When Vika's follow-up troops arrived, they no longer had any first-mover advantage, and the Mia army arrived at the same time.
Many people speculated that Vika's investment and loss of a large number of troops in the plains was the direct cause of its subsequent decline.
Ji Lin, who personally participated in this battle, also saw it more clearly.
The reason for the defeat.
It is very likely that the interception troops sent by the Seta city-state attacked the Vika advance team on the march, and the commander ordered the Steam Spider's fearless charge, which made them lose the Steam Spider troops that should have been used for siege, and they could only rely on light infantry and only one Governor Mech to force the siege.
And the captured batch of steam artillery became a pile of inefficient scrap metal because there was no qualified artillery commander to lead it.
Won a small battle, but lost the whole war.
What a irony.
He didn't know much about steam and steel, but some basic concepts remained in Ji Lin's mind. This was once a hot version. Now the fragmented information gathered in his mind, and under the awakening of the scene in reality, it just outlined a specific shape in his mind.
Who can be sure that he will travel through time and remember everything?
After sorting things out a little, Ji Lin has already planned the next route in his mind.
Ji Lin lay beside the steam mortar. The smell of steel mixed with engine oil actually smelled good. A hint of blood could be faintly detected in the air. After all, people died here half a day ago.
Many people died.
He is not afraid of ghosts and spirits. It's not like he hasn't fought against spirit troops before. They have high physical resistance and are afraid of plasma such as fire.
But it is true that people will feel uncomfortable in such an environment. Not being afraid and being uncomfortable are not contradictory, but relying on the steam mortar can make him feel relieved.
That giant cannon... needs to be guarded. At that time, you must stay away from the Governor's mecha. Such a large target is 100% the focus of attack. If you want to live long, you must stay away from this thing.
Artillery counterattack is too difficult.
If he has an artillery battalion with artillery with a range of more than 2km, he might try to suppress it in advance, but this is a mortar, which is notoriously short in range, with an effective range of only 600. Stacking more powder bags can indeed increase the range, but that is at the expense of damaging the barrel and using it as a disposable method.
Back then, the unscrupulous cannons could be played like this, stuffing explosive packs into gasoline barrels and burying them in the ground, and using them as disposable mortars.
It was time for him to sleep, and the next step was a long march.
The Seta troops intercepted them at the exit of the plain, and it would take at least five days to travel according to their marching speed.
In the daytime battle, in addition to seizing the steam mortars, the Vika advance team captured a lot of Seta troops. There were a large number of mercenaries among these Seta infantry, like a temporary corps. These prisoners were not executed, and the commander planned to attack Seta together.
Let these prisoners form a crowd to disrupt the opponent's formation.
Although this commander's tactical literacy was not high and his reaction ability was poor, Ji Lin could not compare with this commander in terms of ruthlessness. This kind of colonial army that almost trained its own army to be full of wolfishness was not his style. Of course, how to train a wolfish army that can burn, kill and loot has always been a hot topic among the lords, and when it develops, individualism will run rampant.
Such an army looks very capable, but in large-scale battles, it is easy to break up and become a mess. The army is completely disunited. The army, navy and air force are considered to be of high quality if they do not trip up the other side. Their combat effectiveness depends entirely on training and technical experience.
A lord who focuses on large-scale legionary battles needs a disciplined army, a well-trained and experienced army.
A weapon costing 10 billion can change a battle, but 10 billion weapons costing one yuan will determine a war.
The ratmen he led before had to rely on guns to make them obey military discipline. The training time was 10% longer than others, and he was numb from training alone.
Ji Lin has an almost old-fashioned obsession with military discipline. He himself can't explain why.
The commander will die under the cannon attack on the day of the attack.
And those prisoners will also be kept during this period.
Before he fell asleep, a commotion came from a distance, and someone was shouting and cursing.
"What are you arguing about!"
He put on his military cap and walked towards where the commotion had broken out.
That was where the prisoners were being held.
