Release that Witch Chapter 981: Unexpected start
Morning Light climbed up the slope, staring at the busy but well-organized position in front of her, her mind was ups and downs.
This is not his first visit to the battlefield ... At the age of fifteen years old, he was already an excellent Knight squire and followed the charge of feudal lord. After adulthood, he got the reputation of Western Region first Knight.
For him, war should no longer be unfamiliar.
But here, he felt a completely different atmosphere.
noble before the war is to drink, reward, eat and drink, so as to improve the morale of the team, so freemen and mercenary camp will often immerse in a chaotic carnival, in addition to no wine, the scene and Open-air markets are no different. Whenever this happens, the Knights always laugh at the group of people who are like stupid donkeys. A few slices of cheese bread can make them forget, and they don't know that these things have changed their lives.
At that time, Ferlin Schilt also took it seriously, thinking that only noble knew how to fight. If there was no spur from the leader, no amount of freemen would just be a piece of sand.
Until Duke Ryan was defeated by a group of Border Town's miners, he discovered that the facts were a little different from what he thought.
It was only that he realized his wish for revenge at that time, instead of continuing to study, he put all his energy on his wife Irene.
Two years later, the Morning Light of joining Adviser Department was decided because of a conversation with his father, but he found that the war had completely changed.
If the discipline shown by First Army during the march of the past month has surprised him, the professionalism displayed by the soldiers at this moment is enough to shame the vast majority of noble.
Without any encouragement, everyone is familiar with their missions. in heart: Several trenches at the bottom of the **** were dug out, topsoil was packed into cloth bags, and simple low walls were piled up in front of the machine gun position. Barbed wire and temporary processed wooden horses are interspersed in the middle of the trench. The difficulty of making a frontal breakthrough is almost no less than capturing a main city wall.
There are also multiple buffer areas behind the line of defense. Even if the machine gun position is breached, it does not mean the end of the battle. Taqila witch not only protects the Artillery Battalion barrier, but is also a reserve force that can support the front line at any time.
The top of the final **** is the core of the First Army attack. Six stronghold guns are elevated and point directly to the direction of the Devil outpost. The artillery is correcting the firing parameters to make the final preparations for the upcoming attack. .
All of these do not need to be commanded by the leader at all. In just one day, First Army transformed this place into a qualified battlefield.
Ferlin has seen the power of new firearms in the cannon drill, but that is always the operator of the foreign object weapon, and ultimately it will fall on people.
The soldiers made up of freemen are the thing that sighs him most.
Such a disciplined and well-defined team, even the Knight group formed by the big noble, is difficult to achieve.
Although the changes of the people can be detected at Neverwinter City, compared to the impact of this scene, it seems nothing more.
"Now you know?" A familiar voice came from behind Morning Light, "The answer to the previous question."
Ferlin turned around and nodded to Sir Schilt, "Yes, father."
Why when Your Majesty announced that it would unify Greycastle in just a few months, and entered Hermes and Kingdom of Dawn at the same time, Adviser Department not only did not raise strong objections, but formulated a bunch of seemingly incredible plans.
Because he has such a weapon and such a warrior, no one on the continent is his rival, or ... other hostile forces are not worth mentioning at all.
"Unfortunately, Your Majesty explicitly bans noble joining combat troops," Ferlin said with a slight regret. "I would rather try to work with these people than sitting in a study."
"Personal bravery is now insignificant. Adviser Department is the best place for you." Jazz laughed. "Finally, what to do if there is a mistake in fighting an unknown enemy like Devil? I'm waiting Hugging my grandson. Isn't that good friend of Irene just born one recently, you have to work harder. "
"Father!" Ferlin couldn't help but ask forehead.
"Okay, okay, I don't say that," Schilt touched his beard. "The sun is almost approaching the horizon. Let's go back to the camp. Artillery Battalion should be on fire soon. I can't stand the sound of that stuff. "
"Yes," Morning Light finally glanced at the position, then walked down the high ground with his father.
He should also go to another battlefield to fulfill his duties.
...
At five in the evening, the shelling officially began.
The six-door cannon fires in sequence according to the pre-adjusted firing angle, which instantly tears the silence of Fertile Plain.
After more than four hundred years, humans once again set foot on this land and launched an attack on Devil.
First, two rounds of test firing were used to correct the error on the paper. When Silvie gave feedback on the hit, the sound of the cannons became neatly drawn together.
The improved 152mm stronghold gun is a little closer to its predecessors in history. In order to increase the range, the medicine room has been expanded a full circle, and the shell has also been reloaded in sections. The firing rate is slower than the full gun. Half a shot. Driven by higher bore pressure, these cannon are enough to cause deadly threats to fixed targets ten kilometers away.
The extended range also brings increased self-weight and greater logistical pressure. The final solution is to split the four doors cannon and transport them by the Taqila's worm carrier.
No one can see the roar and flame when the warhead hits the ground. This is a completely new mode of warfare. If it hasn't been through many artillery battles, the soldiers will probably find it hard to believe that they can not face the enemy. In a stress-free environment, you can destroy enemy strongholds and cities with only a few cycles of movement.
There are two main reasons for choosing to launch the attack when the sun goes down. One is that the observation of Magic Eye does not rely on sunlight, and it can guide the artillery to correct the firing point at night; the second is that Dread Beast cannot be active at night, and Devil is only passively beaten all night. Servings.
The stronghold gun fires every two minutes. Except for the faint thunder from the skyline, the battlefield shrouded in the night looks unchanged. But in the eyes of Silvie, the land ten kilometers away is completely different.
The air waves set off by the explosion have turned over the ground surface in the hit area. More than half of the more than ten Blackstone Towers have been blown apart, especially when the deflagration caused by the cannonball penetrates Mist Storage Tower. Into an erupting volcano.
But from beginning to end, she did not find Devil.
Until the early morning of the next day, when everyone thought the enemy had abandoned the outpost, a sudden change occurred.
Large group of Devil suddenly appeared in position First Army north, eight kilometers away from WangNorthern Slope!
Meanwhile, Silvie also observed dozens of signs of Dread Beast activity. These enemies, which disappeared for several days, were just like a cloud, coming towards them.
