Different World Development Manual Chapter 41: Battle daily

There are 260,000 troops in the Duke of Capet. Although more than 30,000 troops were eaten by the Carinthian army when the war started, there are still more than 220,000 troops on the north bank of the Aran River.

There were 170,000 troops stationed on the entire northern coastline of the Aran River, among which Mantuen Fortress and Burri Island were stationed with 140,000 troops.

In the Fortress of Mantuen alone, 60,000 troops were stationed.

Although An Rui’s 18,000-man Carinthian army is equipped with flintlock and artillery, it is almost impossible to conquer this Mantuen fortress head-on.

Unless a strong man like An Rui comes out in person, of course, Mantuen Fortress must also be stationed with many strong men, and An Rui's current level is not as high as before.

Therefore, An Rui could not choose to conceal his actions. Before the news of the Carinthian Army’s presence in Duran reached Jon’s ears, he used the cover of the Varua Forest in the west of the Duke of Capet, directly Marching towards the fortress of Mantuen in the east, ready to hit the fortress of Mantuun by surprise.

Outside the fortress of Mantuen, the magicians built one magic array one after another, aiming at the Carinthia garrison on the south bank, ready to fight at any time to prevent them from crossing the river.

And the water elements were summoned by these wizards from the river through the magic array, and they began to board the South Bank, launching a harassing attack on the Carinthian army on the South Bank.

The Carinthian army on the south bank is also fully prepared. On the opposite side of the Mantuen Fortress, there are 3,000 Carinthian troops stationed at this time. They are made of wood and placed on the bank of the river. , To stop the harassment of the garrison and wizards in the fortress of Mantuen.

Outside the camp, many watch towers were erected. Soldiers stood on them, constantly observing the situation on the opposite shore.

As the magic array on the other side of the river released light again, the vortex on the Alan River also swirled.

With the sound of "pushing", the water element suddenly gathered under the guidance of magical power.

A mass of liquid slowly grew out of the river surface, and then gathered into a human form. Standing on the river surface, twisting his body, he began to move toward the south bank.

When their bodies were fully opened, their fluid heads resembling cobras also slowly opened their eyes.

Grined open, revealing a row of sharp teeth condensed with water.

With a sudden wave of his left hand, the water from the river immediately gathered on their arms, turning into a ball, and then forming a water shield constructed from water on one side.

The right hand also slammed, and a water column grows hair, directly appearing in the hands of the water elements.

The watchtower outside the Carinthia Barracks discovered the situation, and immediately rang the manually-powered horn, and the piercing siren sounded "Woo woo woo woo" over the entire camp.

"It's the water elemental attack!"

"The mages of Mantuen are starting to drive the water element to harass us again!"

"Damn it, can they not use up the magic spar in their magic array?"

"Record officer, give me a record of the names of the fortress of Mantuen and the mages we are enemies. After the battle is over, the old paper will be liquidated one by one!"

"Yes!"

The number of water elements organized by the mages was not large, and nearly a thousand water elements were dispatched in one batch of harassment.

Of course, such a large batch of water elements consumes a huge amount of mana in the magic array.

After the alarm went off in the Carinthia Barracks, a group of soldiers ran out of the barracks, lined up, and walked slowly toward the bank of the river listening to the drums.

Behind them, artillery pieces were slowly retreated by the artillery.

"The Musketeers! Ready!"

"Wow!"

Following the commander's order, all the infantry arrays stopped immediately after arriving at the designated area.

"Kakaka", he put the flintlock on his shoulder to Duanping, aiming in the direction of the river beach.

The soldiers put their fingers on the trigger lightly, waiting for the commander to give the shooting order.

They are no longer the recruits of more than half a year ago. They have experienced the baptism of blood and fire, let them know the importance of discipline to the "modern" army.

Once the commander issues a shooting order, they will become unsentimental shooting machines, ruthlessly shooting out the projectiles in the gun's chamber.

"Artillery! Enter the shooting position!"

"Crunchy crunch."

When the guns were pushed into the firing position, they stopped one after another.

The artillery commander wielded the Tang knife again, and continued to order: "Count the shots and prepare to shoot!"

The artillery of the Carinthia Army are all people who have studied mathematics. These artillery have also fully mastered the standard ballistics of this era.

Observe the area, calculate the data, and aim.

"Play on the grapes!"

After all, the other party is a water element with no emotions, but not a human being with seven emotions and six desires.

With the use of solid bullets, the fear caused by the shelling would not be able to deter these summoned creatures, nor would it be able to dampen their morale.

Therefore, I used grape bombs and tried to kill them as much as possible.

As the water elements rushed to the probe, they were immediately blocked by the rejection on the probe, and their charging speed was also reduced.

The artillery commander slashed the Tang knife sharply, pointed the tip of the knife forward, and shouted: "Fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The artillery immediately fired the grape shells in the pound gun, and the densely packed shells flew over, "swish swish".

Once the water element condensed by magic power is fired, the huge inertia and impact will immediately agitate the magic power in the water element to become unstable, and the entire element cannot be maintained. It turns into a pool of water and then falls on it. On the tidal flat.

In one round of shelling, dozens of Water Elementals were killed instantly.

However, the number of water elements is too much, and the group of water elements with indescribable emotions continue to charge fearlessly under the control of the wizards of the magic array.

"Reload ammunition!"

"Continue shooting!"

"Fire!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

There was another shelling, and dozens of water elements were killed by the artillery's grape shells.

After the artillery bombardment lasted for 4 rounds, after eliminating more than 300 water elements, the artillery commander immediately ordered: "All of them, return to the barracks!"

The remaining 500 water elements have rushed out of the horse and the beach, and entered the shooting range of the infantry. The infantry commander hurriedly commanded: "Everyone, fire!"

"Boom! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A series of smoke suddenly appeared in front of the Carinthian infantry phalanx. The three shots made it easier to identify the bright red clothes and the red tape on the flying saucer, except for the fire.

The accuracy of the flintlock is low, but it is powerful.

The infantry didn't need to aim at the enemy at all, and anyway, they might not be able to hit the water element they were aiming at.

As long as you follow the infantry in the square to attack simultaneously, the water element in that area will always be shot.

Compared with ordinary human infantry, the water element is much stronger.

However, the combat effectiveness of the water element for landing operations is definitely not as good as that for surface operations. When faced with the attack of the flintlock troops, the water element was quickly sifted on the way to the charge.

The magic power can no longer maintain their "human" shape. After being shot, the magic power in the water element became disordered, and then it turned into a puddle of water with a bang. To the ground.

The twenty-minute battle ended hastily, and the water element did not rush to the Carinthian army after all.

The wizards of the magic array outside the Mantuen fortress looked at the steel magic weapon called the "musket" in the hands of the Carinthia Army~IndoMTL.com~, somewhat jealous.

A civilian who has no combat effectiveness, only needs to have such weapons, and with a little training, he can fight against the water element.

The technological power of the Huaxia people is really terrifying, and it seems that no magic can defeat them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!!!"

After a few cannon sounds, the wizards immediately followed the sound and forgot to pass, and saw that the high platform built by the Carinthia Army on the other side of the river was finally completed in the past few days.

Only on the high platform, several artillery shells were greeted by several magic arrays near the tidal flats on the Hebei coast.

"Boom!"

The solid bullet suddenly fell in the magic array, hit the ground, bounced, and then reversed at a high speed.

The unlucky magicians in the magic array hadn't reacted yet, and the shells directly cut off his pelvis, causing his upper body to suddenly fall to the ground.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! Save me!!!"

The magicians whose magic arrays are farther away are secretly thankful, but fortunately, the magicians in the array over there are not themselves.

However, to the surprise of the mages and the defenders on the Hebei coast, Carinthia actually built a high platform, and the artillery on it could barely reach this side.

After a burst of shelling, the Carinthian army stopped because the results of the battle were not good.

Although 3 magic arrays were destroyed, the wizards inside were bombarded and killed less than 10 people.

In desperation, the commander of the Carinthia Army on the South Bank continued to order to build more high platforms to increase the range of the artillery.

And this kind of battle is almost the daily routine of the defenders near the Mantuen fortress and the Carinthia garrison on the other side of the river.
