Twenty minutes later, the Golden Eagle Knights and the Red Sun Legion continued to penetrate more than ten kilometers south of the Indra Prairie, and then saw the troops of the Kingdom of Luersun waiting in front.
Gerald picked up the telescope and looked forward, and immediately frowned.
In the huge black army in front of them, estimated to be tens of thousands of people, the main ones flying were the various flags of the Kingdom of Luersun, but what really caught Gerald's attention was a pattern that was not complicated. It's also very simple, it's just a flag with a half-wing pattern embroidered on it.
There is no one on Sainz continent who does not know what this flag represents.
That is the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce.
"The escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce also participated in the war?" Gerald looked slightly solemn. "When we set out some time ago, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce still didn't make a specific statement. How come they have sneaked in now?"
"What's so strange about this?" Narolov rolled his eyes at him. "This time we have made it clear that we are going to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. If they haven't sent an escort to join the battle, will they wait until we reach the Principality of Standing and the doorstep of the main base of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce before they join the war? "
Gerald smiled bitterly and shook his head: "That's not what I meant. I just think that if the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce on the opposite side sneaks in, today's battle may not be easy."
"Sooner or later we will encounter them. Encountering them earlier can also give us more opportunities to understand them and deal with them in the future."
Narorov also picked up the telescope and looked at the situation on the other side, and also frowned.
"All countries on the mainland have said that the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guards are very powerful, but in fact, over the years, the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce Guards have only taken action a few times. I don't know what makes them so powerful?"
"So, what I hate most is this kind of guy who doesn't know the details at all. However, the army of the Luersun Kingdom has only received some support from the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, and its combat effectiveness has become so strong. So Xinfei The combat effectiveness of the Chamber of Commerce Guards can be imagined.”
Gerald sighed, looking a little troubled.
"Besides, it's not like you don't know the power of those military magic machines sold to us by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce. It's impossible to withstand the power of those old gadgets from the past. And I'm sure that those sold to us by the New Flying Chamber of Commerce must be... Low-level, even military magic machines that have been simply eliminated by them will definitely still be in their hands.”
"This is an obvious thing." Narolov spread his hands, looking equally helpless. "Who said that only Xinfei Chamber of Commerce in the world could create these things?"
The two looked at each other in silence for a long time. Gerald suddenly wiped his face hard and spat on the ground.
"Bah! The fight hasn't started yet. What are the two of us doing here constantly lowering our morale? The New Flying Chamber of Commerce escort team must be very strong. But after all, we have many more people than them. Besides, we also have military magic machines. , If they dare to fight us arrogantly on this prairie, we will kill them with a pile of people. "
"Well, according to some information collected by the Glorious Legion, the army of the Kingdom of Luersun has the ability to launch attacks from very long distances. Now we..." Narolov looked up, estimated the distance, and then raised his voice. Raise your right hand high.
The captains of several Chiyang Legion brigades following him immediately issued orders at the same time, and it didn't take long. The entire Chiyang Army had stopped.
Gerald, who was on the side and had known Narorov for many years, immediately understood what he meant when he saw his actions, and immediately ordered the Golden Eagle Knights to stop.
"Okay, this place is about five kilometers away from the opposite side, so it should be beyond the opponent's attack range. Let's adjust our formation here and prepare to launch an attack." Narorov said.
"good."
Gerald, Narorov and several legion staff gathered together and held a brief pre-battle discussion meeting, and determined that the Golden Eagle Knights would be the assists next, while the Red Sun Legion would use its high mobility to launch attacks from both wings at the same time. Basic strategy for attack coordination.
These two legions are prestigious elite legions within the Kandra Empire, and are well-commanded by Gerald and Narorov. Now that the strategy was decided, it didn't take long to organize the formation.
What surprised the two of them was that while they were discussing to determine the combat strategy and preparing their formation, the troops of the Kingdom of Luersun on the opposite side and the escort team of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce who did not know how many people they had all stayed in place and did not move. It seemed like it was waiting for them to attack.
However, even if they find it strange, now that they have led their army here, they cannot just retreat.
Gerald tidied up his clothes, jumped onto the cab roof of a large freight magic locomotive, pulled out the sword on his waist, and pointed it high into the sky.
"attack!"
A total of 23,000 soldiers of the Golden Eagle Knights immediately marched towards the opposite side in an orderly manner.
At the front. They were heavily armored shield guards holding huge shields to protect them, followed closely by the crossbow team holding magic repeating crossbows and special longbows.
As for the one in the middle of the entire formation, there are one hundred and thirty single-barreled magic cannons that move slightly slowly.
In fact, the single-barreled magic artillery produced by the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is equipped with a front-mounted magic trailer, which can move quickly at a speed of up to forty kilometers per hour on such plains.
However, although the imitation single-barreled magic artillery developed and produced by the Candela Empire itself is still equipped with a front-mounted magic trailer, it has never been able to solve the coordination between the front-mounted magic trailer and the gun body, and due to material problems, shortcomings often occur. Due to the condition of the axis, the traveling speed was forced to be limited to a maximum of 30 kilometers per hour, and the actual traveling speed was only about 20 kilometers per hour, which seriously slowed down the speed of the entire team.
Of course, the distance between the two armies at this time is only about five kilometers, and the difference between the speed of twenty kilometers per hour and the speed of forty kilometers per hour is not that big. The Golden Eagle Knights only need to drag these magic artillery to within two kilometers to be effective. Attack distance is enough.
After the Golden Eagle Knights started, Narorov also gave the order at the same time.
The Red Sun Legion immediately divided into three groups. One group had one hundred large magic freight motorcycles and 5,000 soldiers left behind the Golden Eagle Knights for support and protection. The other troops each divided into two hundred large magic freight motorcycles, respectively. It made an arc from the left and right wings and enveloped the Luersun Kingdom on the opposite side.
In fact, although the Golden Eagle Knights and the Red Sun Legion have been equipped with a large number of new military magic machines to replace the previous war horses, swords, guns and bows, most of their tactical ideas still remain on the old traditional concepts.
For example, the tactics used by the two legions this time are nothing more than the central breakthrough combined with outflanking by both wings that the Candela Empire army used to do in the past when they had superior strength.
have to say. There is nothing wrong with this tactical idea, as it can give full play to the characteristics and strength advantages of the two legions.
However... this war was completely different from all the wars they had experienced before.
When the Golden Eagle Knights advanced to a position about three kilometers away from the troops of the Kingdom of Luersun, the troops of the Kingdom of Luersun, which had been staying motionless, finally moved.
Just don't move. A movement is like a burst of thunder.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom—”
A series of muffled sounds came from the army of the Luersun Kingdom in the distance, and then countless red rays of light were seen flying in the sky from the formation over there, flying towards this side at high speed.
Gerald was shocked.
The two sides are obviously still three kilometers apart. Why did the Luersun Kingdom use magic artillery
Doesn’t the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce’s magic artillery always have an attack range of only about two kilometers
However, the next moment, the cruel facts told Gerald how wrong his judgment was.
The red light that filled the sky flew across a distance of three kilometers between the two sides in just a few breaths. It fell directly into the formation of the Golden Eagle Knights.
"dispersion!"
Gerald only had time to shout, but he was unable to give any other orders.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom—”
This time, the unusually dull but extremely violent explosion sounded in Gerald's ears, almost deafening him.
Mixed with the explosion were the panicked shouts and shrill screams of the surrounding Golden Eagle Knights.
With just one round of bombing, the formation of the Golden Eagle Knights, which had been extremely complete and neat just now, was blown away and there was a hint of looseness.
Gerald suppressed the shock and panic in his heart, grabbed a magician next to him, and asked him to cast an amplification spell in front of him.
"Don't panic! Keep your formation and charge forward! Those who retreat will be killed!"
Gerald instantly understood that it was also a magic artillery. However, the magic artillery equipped by the Luersun Kingdom army has a much farther attack range than the magic artillery equipped by them, even more than a full kilometer.
In this way, before they reach the effective attack distance, they can only passively withstand the attack of the enemy on the opposite side and have no way to fight back.
At this time, the only option is to continue to move forward. The consequences of retreat will only be more serious than now.
Gerald's voice instantly spread throughout the entire Golden Eagle Knights through amplification magic.
Hearing the voice of the legion commander, the Golden Eagle Knights, who were a little panicked due to the sudden attack, quickly regained their composure and reorganized their formation while rushing towards the army of the Lursun Kingdom in the distance as quickly as possible.
The two Red Sun Legions, which circled on both sides and planned to outflank them, were not attacked by the troops of the Kingdom of Luersun.
At this time, seeing that the Golden Eagle Knights were being bombarded by unexpected artillery fire, Narorov passed on the order without hesitation. The Chiyang Legion was asked to increase their speed again.
The army of the Luersun Kingdom clearly wanted to carry out bombing with an attack distance beyond its own, so the only way was to break into close range as soon as possible and disrupt the opponent's formation.
But just when this idea was finalized in his mind, several streaks of fire suddenly burst out on the grassland ahead.
Accompanied by several violent explosions. The three large freight magic locomotives rushing at the front seemed to have been suddenly overturned by an invisible giant. They flew into the air and even rolled a few times in the air before crashing down heavily.
One of them happened to flatten a large freight magic locomotive in front of Narorov, then rolled twice on the ground and was directly mounted on the front of the large freight magic locomotive he was riding.
The violent shock caused the car body to shake wildly. Caught off guard, Narolov hit the front bumper of the cab and suffered a bloody head injury in an instant. (~^~)
