No matter how distressed and sentimental the generals of the Candela Empire and Malo Empire were, they must admit a fact.
That is, in the face of the powerful military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the most powerful and precious heavy cavalry in their hearts is no more than a relatively high-level cannon fodder when faced with the artillery attack of the Lu-Xin coalition.
Yes, the word cannon fodder came from the Lu-Xin coalition. It is said to be a new term that appeared due to the emergence of magic artillery. It describes that it can only turn into fly ash under the attack of magic artillery.
Of course, as Marshal Sudirman said, although these knights were just sent as cannon fodder, they were not meaningless.
Although it seems that the Lu-Xin coalition forces can easily destroy these heavy cavalry and light cavalry regiments, in fact the Lu-Xin coalition forces have already consumed a large amount of ammunition.
For the Lu-Xin coalition, there is no doubt that they can easily crush the Kandra Empire on the frontal battlefield, but this is all based on having sufficient supplies.
Any type of military magic machine requires matching ammunition to exert its powerful power. Without ammunition, it would be nothing more than a pile of empty and useless steel shells.
At this point, there is no difference between the Lu-Xin coalition army and the traditional army.
Even because military magic machinery relies heavily on ammunition, the Lu-Xin coalition forces have higher requirements for logistical supplies.
This is the experience summed up by the Candela Empire after many battles with the Lu-Xin coalition. Although the experience is painful, it is absolutely effective.
The Candela Empire and the Malo Empire jointly set up this encirclement in order to force the Lu-Xin coalition to consume ammunition and thus find a chance of victory.
Although the price paid is extremely terrible, at this moment, there is no choice.
Although the cavalry regiment fell, the armies of the two empires still showed no signs of retreating. The elite soldiers rushed towards the surrounded Lu-Xin coalition forces in a steady stream.
On the other hand, the fire representing the magic cannonballs kept shooting out from the Lu-Xin coalition formation, making a continuous loud noise on the Serra Plain.
Because there have been many battles with the Lu-Xin coalition. The Candela Empire has also gradually found some ways to deal with the fierce artillery fire from the Lu-Xin coalition, that is, it no longer uses dense formations and relies on numerical superiority to defeat the enemy as in traditional wars in the past, but spreads out as much as possible. Ensure that the explosion of each magic shell causes as few casualties as possible.
Although this will inevitably reduce the overall combat effectiveness, what the two empires have to do now is to get as close as possible to the Lu-Xin coalition while consuming as much ammunition as possible, or even rush in directly to disrupt their positions.
Once the two sides become entangled, the advantage of the Nalu-Xin coalition is not worth mentioning in the face of the huge military advantage of the two imperial coalitions.
Count Darcy, who was in the Lu-Xin alliance, took in the situation in the position and his expression changed slightly.
"Captain Hart. If this continues, I'm afraid our magic shells won't be able to sustain the consumption."
Captain Hart nodded slightly: "Yes. According to the current consumption rate, we can only maintain the same firepower for no more than half an hour.'
"Can't even hold on for half an hour?" Count Darcy was surprised. "Then...should we implement the next battle plan in advance?"
Captain Hart raised his hand, glanced at the timer on his wrist, and shook his head.
"We are still ten minutes away from the agreed time, so we can't rush now. Count Darcy, let your magic chariot brigade cooperate with our magic tank brigade to attack, and delay the attack from the opposite side for a while."
"good."
Count Darcy agreed immediately, turned around and issued the order.
Two minutes later, the Luersun Kingdom's magic tank brigade, consisting of five hundred specially customized magic chariots, and the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce's magic tank brigade, consisting of two hundred taels of magic tanks, swarmed in from the Luxun-Xin coalition formation. out. It was like a tide rushing towards the Maro Empire military formation in the southwest.
The reason why the Kandra Empire military formation in the northeast was not chosen as the attack target was mainly because they were worried that the opponent would dig a trap in that direction in advance, which would hinder the advancement of magic chariots and magic tanks.
When the magic chariot and magic tank brigade rushed out, the magic artillery of the Lu-Xin coalition also made changes at the same time, focusing its main firepower on attacking the Kandra Empire soldiers rushing towards the north, but no longer attacked the Mar. Luo Empire Army.
Seeing the magic chariots and magic tanks that looked like hundreds of tigers emerging from the Lu-Xin coalition formation, the generals in the two empire formations all cheered up.
Since the battle, the Lu-Xin coalition has been holding on to its position with the help of magic artillery, preventing them from advancing. This is the first counterattack launched by the Lu-Xin coalition.
Although it is coming fiercely. But it reflects the fact from the side that the Lu-Xin coalition does not have much confidence in its own ammunition reserves and can only take the initiative to reduce consumption.
The Malo Empire responded quickly.
Marshal Senri, the commander of the Malo Empire, waved his hand, and the two 10,000 light cavalry that had been prepared were divided into two groups. Like two sharp knives, they rushed into the battlefield from the flanks.
Their mission is of course not to fight head-on with the magic chariot brigade and magic tank brigade, but to use their high mobility to harass, while maintaining a threat to the Lu-Xin coalition's main formation, and ensuring that the opponent's magic chariot brigade and magic tank brigade are Don't dare to attack the Maro Empire's main formation wantonly.
At the same time, the magic artillery brigade that had not been used in the Maro Empire's formation finally let out their roar.
"Boom boom boom boom—"
A total of five hundred self-developed and produced magic artillery pieces plus a hundred magic artillery pieces previously purchased from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce launched attacks at the same time, and countless brilliant fires exploded on the battlefield in an instant.
have to say. The Maro Empire's mastery of magic artillery is far from proficient.
Reflected in this battle, the hit rate of the magic shells they fired was appalling.
It was clear that they were attacking the charging magic chariot brigade and magic tank brigade, but only a small part of them could accurately land in the middle of the formations of those magic chariots and magic tanks, and most of them missed it without knowing where they were. place.
As for precise hits? That can only depend on luck.
So although these magic cannons fired together seem extremely powerful, the actual damage caused is minimal.
Whether it is the magic chariot of the Luersun Kingdom or the magic tank of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards, with their thick skin and thick flesh, they don't care at all about the huge impact caused by the falling magic shells.
There are even some magic chariots or magic tanks that are unlucky enough to be directly hit by magic shells, but are still unscathed under the protection of the opened magic shield.
However, the Malo Empire's magic artillery salvo this time had no hope of actually destroying a large number of the opponent's magic chariots and magic tanks.
This point has been verified in countless previous battles between the two empires and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce camp. These terrifying monsters are simply invincible on the battlefield.
So their real target is not actually the magic chariot and magic tanks, but the land below them.
Under the bombardment of dense magic shells, large craters were blown out of the originally flat Serra Plain in an instant.
This greatly hindered the progress of magic chariots and magic tanks. Some magic chariots and magic tanks even rushed directly into the pit and were completely unable to move.
At this time, the light cavalry regiments and heavy infantry of the Malo Empire gave full play to their flexible advantages and ran rampant on the unrecognizable Serra Plains. In the blink of an eye, they and the Lu-Xin coalition were closer. The distance between the formations.
Because there are a large number of magic chariots and magic tanks mixed between them, it is naturally impossible for the Lu-Xin coalition to attack with magic artillery to avoid accidental damage.
At first glance, there is nothing the Lu-Xin coalition can do to stop the advancement of the Maro Empire.
"Hmph, do you really think we only have magic artillery left?" Captain Hart, who was in the main formation of the Lu-Xin coalition in the distance, saw the situation here, sneered, picked up the magic talk box, and gave an awe-inspiring order.
After a while, the two hundred magic tanks of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Guards Magic Tank Brigade, which could not advance at high speed due to terrain obstacles, started to move together and quickly spread out horizontally on the battlefield, almost forming a line, like a wall. Stopped in front of the charge of the Maro Empire's light cavalry regiment.
Upon seeing this, the commander leading the Maro Empire Light Cavalry Corps did not hesitate to issue the order to charge again.
These two hundred magic tanks seemed to completely block the road ahead, but in fact the gaps between every two magic tanks were huge enough for them to penetrate easily.
As for how to deal with these magic tanks, that is the task of the heavy infantry corps behind them.
However, they had just launched their charge when the artillery in front of the two hundred magic tanks roared at the same time.
Although compared with ordinary magic artillery, the magic artillery equipped on the magic tank is much smaller in both caliber and shell power, but because of the closer distance and the flat shooting, it actually causes more damage than the magic artillery.
With just one salvo, the 10,000 elite light cavalry that had just been dispatched were already turned upside down. In an instant, nearly half of the knights were unable to stand up again.
The light cavalry regiment of the Malo Empire naturally knew that there was no way to retreat at this time, and they gritted their teeth and rushed forward with all their strength.
However, under the ruthless second salvo of the magic tank brigade, more than a third of the knights instantly evaporated.
In the blink of an eye, out of ten thousand light cavalry, only a few thousand knights were left scattered on the battlefield.
At this moment, the top covers of the five hundred magic chariots of the Lursun Kingdom opened, and two fully armed soldiers of the Lursun Kingdom emerged from each magic chariot. The remaining Maro Empire light cavalry launched a round of strafing.
At this point, the 30,000 light cavalry regiment supported by the Malo Empire were completely wiped out. (~^~)
