Chapter 591: war machine

Views:

If there is no such disaster caused by the end of all things, perhaps this war that brought the Cecil Legion to the foreground will have to be delayed for a long time—but if there is no if, the end of all things will set off a man-made war in the Holy Spirit Plain. Natural disasters, then the Iron Legion from the southern border will inevitably appear on the stage.

This Iron Legion is still immature, and the tactical and ideological training of soldiers still needs to be honed, and the battlefield of the Holy Spirit Plain is their best training ground.

At dawn, the First Corps, which had been marching secretly and hurriedly, came into contact with the first blockade line of the Crystal Cluster Corps in the small plain south of Red Maple City. This inevitable encounter was the starting point of the entire battle. Starting with the three artillery bombardments on the Ergon River, the chariot troops of the corps assembled into front arrows and launched a fierce attack on the crystal cluster defense line.

The iron-gray giant eagle passed under the clouds, reflecting the scene of the battlefield into the eyes of the rider. Sonia Frostleaf looked down at the scene of the attacking front of the legion, and captured all the fighting methods of the Cecils in her eyes—her Seeing that the tanks with solid shields and powerful guns assembled into an offensive array, they attacked the weak point of the crystal cluster army's defense line with the maximum firepower, and at the same time kept pushing forward. They are not afraid of death, but it is impossible to maintain the front line in the face of such concentrated bombardment—whether it is the strengthened flesh and blood, or the solid fortifications formed by relying on the city wall and magic shield, they all collapse quickly under the concentrated artillery fire.

After such a gap is opened, the offensive array formed by the tanks will begin to accelerate, and quickly disperse into several small front arrows as they advance, and begin to rely on continuous advancement and shelling to further tear the gap in the defense line. The infantry coordinating the attack of the chariot unit will also enter the battlefield, and start to further cut and infiltrate the enemy's position with their "core chariot" as the center. They will be responsible for destroying close-range enemies that may threaten the chariot, or indicating The bearing of the enemy's fortifications directed the tank bombardment until the end of the operation.

During the whole process, the long-range magic cannon located on the high ground behind will maintain a near-uninterrupted bombardment—the bombardment covers the rear of the crystal cluster army's defense line, which almost completely wiped out the possibility of the enemy's reinforcement defense line, and a large number of them were urgently summoned The cluster infected who got up were blocked several kilometers away, and they continued to die under artillery fire until the entire line of defense disappeared, until their originally safe "rear" became a new front line...

Such an attack will consume an astonishing amount of physical shells (even if it is an energy weapon, it will burn a lot of focusing crystals), but the Cecils' weapons reserves should be enough to last until the end of the entire war—Sonia knows that the entire southern region They have been preparing for this war since last year (in fact, they may have been preparing for the war since the founding of the principality, but their enemies at the beginning may not be crystallized monsters), factories, production lines, and Thousands of workers, they produce shells and weapon crystals day and night, assemble guns and chariot chassis around the clock, metal from the east, magic materials from the royal family, and a large amount of resources in the south itself, Almost all of them were transformed into these things that roared through the air and exploded on the battlefield—

And until today, until this moment, the factories in the southern border are still producing non-stop, and even new production lines are increasing day by day. Every day, countless materials are produced along the Gorgon River, along Kingdom Avenue, along the temporary road in the war zone, was sent to the front line by mechanical boats or magic vehicles.

The entire southern region seemed to have turned into a huge machine, and all resources were integrated into the machine's feed hopper. The gears and levers were rattling, and their weapons and equipment were even hitting more and more.

Gawain Cecil called this state the "war regime."

"We observed a magic power cluster in the northwest c12 area, and it is the enemy's reinforcements," Sonia Frostleaf controlled the giant eagle to skim through the clouds and mist, and she sent back the latest observation information when the ground tilted and the altitude dropped. , and broke away from this area before the cross lightning network from the ground enveloped itself, "Call naval gun support."

"This is the Pioneer, received, it will arrive in a minute after the shelling."

In the beginning, the tactics of Cecil's Legion were actually not so clever.

They did create a brand-new and powerful army, but this army was completely new to themselves. Gawain Cecil designed a series of supporting tactics and training programs for it, but from the command It is difficult for officers and soldiers to understand those contents out of thin air—they can only perform training mechanized, relying on their absolute trust in the lord, and record those skills that are not supported by any actual combat evidence. , almost none of the commanders successfully implemented those training contents.

Sonia saw with her own eyes that the tanks swarmed into the enemy's formation, and the infantry who should have coordinated the attack were left far behind by them (the fact that no soldiers were crushed to death by their own tanks was already a result of the previous mechanical training) , I have also seen combat teams nervously and exaggeratedly describing the frontline situation, causing the commanders in the rear to misjudge the size of the enemy, which not only wasted fire support, but also confused the original attack plan.

If it wasn't for the powerful enough advanced weapons and equipment, and if it wasn't for the crystal cluster army being at a loss when facing the southern border army, it would be impossible for the army of the Principality of Cecil to advance so fast.

In the command vehicle, Gao Wen was learning about the situation of the entire front through the magic network communication. Just now, a company had withdrawn from the battle due to an accident.

They made a mistake in the order and entered the enemy's encirclement during the march. Although they finally broke through, seven of the twelve chariots were damaged, causing serious casualties and had to be withdrawn for repairs.

The reserve company filled the vacancy of the fourth company and continued to dismantle the giants' defense.

The battlefield of the Holy Spirit Plain is the best stage for actual combat, and the legion of the Principality of Cecil will get the best experience here, and until now, the soldiers and commanders are still honing in and proficient in what they have learned on the training ground , What they are doing now is not good enough, but in Gao Wen's view, they are making rapid progress.

This should be attributed to the literacy rate of the soldiers.

More than 80% of the soldiers have basic writing and computing skills, which is enough for them to have better logical thinking, enough for them to quickly accumulate relatively complex battlefield experience and understand various instructions from their superiors.

On the other hand, the tactics conceived by Gao Wen are more or less constrained by the inherent experience of the earth, and may not necessarily adapt to the actual situation of this world. In this regard, the commanders of the legion obviously must learn to adapt to local conditions and learn to actively adjust — This also depends on the higher education level of the soldiers and the professionalism of the non-commissioned officer class.

After this war ended, the Cecil Legion might not be considered a master of a hundred battles, but at least it was a qualified modern legion that could properly use their advanced equipment.

The Cecilians are advancing northward, at an astonishing speed, like a wild beast out of control.

This "advance" can even be described as "charge".

When Heaton woke up in shock and listened to the report of the subordinate in charge of commanding the southern defense line, the first line of defense set up by the Godly Legion in the plain area had disappeared—it was not broken through, but disappeared entirely through telepathy. up.

It was as if it had been burned to ashes, and a gust of wind blew it clean.

A priest of the death of all things that has been completely transformed into a godlike form lowered his head, and reported nervously and slightly terrified: "They have broken through the line along the cypress manor, and are now attacking our second line of defense... on the Gorgon River Huge warships appeared... There are six brigades... No, nine brigades just lost contact again!!"

Heaton stared: "How did they get so close?! Why didn't anyone find out before?!"

The dark priests were silent, but Heaton himself didn't expect to get an answer from these people—the Cecilian's attack was already an established fact, and it was meaningless to study their previous course of action now.

"They came here for Hongfeng... Damn... how could they be so fast!!" He cursed in a low voice, and finally for the first time felt frightened by the power of the Cecils in his heart.

He was indeed afraid of the pioneer who came back from the dead, and his power to unify the southern border within a year...but that should have been in the past tense!

The Doom Society has created a powerful army of gods and evils. This powerful army can even overthrow the entire Ansu Kingdom within a month. It should be extremely powerful. It is fighting against the royal family and the noble army in the east. During the process, this legion did show its strength, but... what's going on now

"Quickly gather the converts in the plain area, strengthen the second line of defense, and let the legion in the southern area retreat to block the back of the Cecilians—attack them from behind!"

After a short moment of astonishment, Heaton forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and began to use the best plan he could think of to deal with the attack of the Cecils—he noticed one thing, that is, the Cecils passed Some kind of stealthy way of marching directly into the Red Maple Plains means that the Abominable Army stationed in the south of them is still intact... Then as long as they can stop the Cecils in the north, the Abominable Army in the south can attack from the enemy's rear. Attack.

Even if Clode was here, he probably couldn't come up with a better plan.

However, shortly after his order was issued, a priest in giant form said tremblingly: "Your Excellency... our second line of defense... has disappeared... the enemy... the enemy..."

The priest couldn't even finish his sentence, but Heaton didn't need to hear any more information from the other party—

He heard a faint explosion!

The wind of magic power rolled up out of thin air, and Heaton's figure was quickly enveloped by a group of twisted black vines. In the next second, he reached the city wall in the south of Hongfeng through the network of vines set up in various places in the city.

He saw a huge cloud of smoke and dust rising from the southern plains, and many metal vehicles with strange shapes were rolling over the scorched earth and driving towards this side, and the god-evil converts patrolling on the plain were constantly being exploded and flashes, and those explosions and flashes that are obviously magical effects are emitted by those metallic things.

As described in the previous intelligence, those are the Cecil Legion from the south.

The guards of Red Maple City acted at the first time. Countless tall god-giant giants walked up to the city wall and propped up the defense line. Quickly formed—as one of the important cities in the middle of the Holy Spirit Plain, Red Maple also has a city-level shield system, but it is not a heavy fortress like the Rock Fortress after all, and its shield device cannot be kept open for a long time, only when the city is threatened , the shield will rise temporarily.

Heaton watched as the magic power in the air gradually condensed into a barrier, but before the shield was completely closed, he suddenly saw a flash of light in the smoke in the distance—

A strange-looking thing wrapped in a light blue magical airflow cut through the air and flew straight. It passed through the unclosed red maple barrier and fell straight towards the city wall.

An evil giant transformed from a transcendent in the Eastern Realm stretched out his hand, and grabbed the flying thing curiously—the force of that thing was so great that after the powerful commander-level giant grabbed it, They were almost taken away on the spot, and the giant stepped back again and again, stepping on a series of terrible pits on the city wall before barely standing still, and then curiously raised the obelisk-like metal bump in front of him: "What is this?" Something? Except for this layer of air mass, there seems to be no magic power inside..."

"Idiot!" Heaton roared angrily after being astonished—under normal circumstances, grabbing weapons thrown by the enemy with his bare hands on the battlefield has always been regarded as a symbol of strength and superb martial arts skills, but what the Cecils shot was Can it be caught casually

The Doom Society has long had experience inside: When fighting against the Cecils, no matter what they throw at you, even if it is a pumpkin pie, you must never reach out to grab it!

Almost anything they throw blows up!

However, before he reminded, the "metal lump" in the giant's hand had already exploded.

The mechanism activated the pre-set runic mechanism—and now, it magically responded.

The huge flash of the explosion completely enveloped the reckless giant commander, and countless shattered crystals and metals scattered in all directions. Heaton immediately propped up his shield to block all the fragments that might hurt him, and waited until the explosion dissipated Afterwards, all he could see was a broken leg where the giant had once stood.

The next moment, the city shield of Hongfeng City finally closed.
