Chapter 294: Mordor Elegy (2)

The artillery fire in the sky is boundless, and the Mordor soldiers on the black door watched this scene in fear, feeling this scene, countless orc soldiers on the city wall were hiding everywhere, but the cannon fire in the sky was almost all over the world, which was called the most powerful artillery bombardment in the entire Middle-earth, countless orc soldiers died tragically under this artillery fire, and at the same time they were afraid of the fierce artillery fire.

The morale of the coalition forces was at an all-time high, and they marched in a tight formation with neat steps, while the opposite black gate was completely covered in artillery fire, but the unilateral attack of the coalition forces would not last long, and Mordor began to counterattack.

On the black gate, a large number of artillery pieces were launched from various unexpected positions, from the inside of the city wall, or close to the parapet of the city wall, this position is not easy to be concentrated by artillery fire, and the number of Mordor artillery is also quite a lot, at a glance, there are no less than 4,000 artillery, 4,000 artillery pieces have obviously been prepared for a long time, and at the moment of being pushed out, the cannon was fired, and above the black gate of Mordor, there was also a deafening artillery bombardment, the power was incomparable, and the shells in the sky were overwhelming, hitting the front line of the coalition army.

The momentum of 4,000 artillery pieces is of course a little worse than that of the coalition army, but it is not too much worse, countless artillery pieces are shot all over the sky, and the coalition troops on the front line are quickly blown away, and their bodies are directly hit everywhere in the air, and it is at this time, but this is not the end, in the relatively safe area behind the black gate, a large number of giant trebuchets were suddenly pushed up from the ground, the number of these trebuchets is huge, and since they are hidden in the ground, they are pushed up and shoot huge fire bombs directly into the distance.

Compared with the black dot-like attack of artillery, the huge fireball picture of the giant trebuchet is the most shocking, although the accuracy of the huge fireballs in the sky is extremely poor, but it can't stand their overwhelming, this giant trebuchet Mordo has a large inventory, these cannonballs are dense, it is really like a group of stars descending into the world, the coalition forces in the distance face the first batch of bombardment shells, the losses are huge, but for the entire coalition army of 200,000 people, this kind of damage is still acceptable.

And Mordor's artillery and trebuchet quickly reduced their power after the first round, because the airship fleet overhead quickly turned the fire and aimed the artillery at the Mordor artillery and trebuchet with obvious targets, and the dense artillery attack quickly covered it directly, and Mordor obviously thought that there would be this for a long time, so immediately after the first round, the trebuchet wanted to land underground, this device is not difficult, so it is not a big problem, although this largely preserves its own power, but it also makes the firepower drop significantly。

In addition to the first round of firepower is particularly powerful, the subsequent attack is much smaller, it can only be said that it is just an obstacle to the advancing coalition troops, and then it is useless, but such attacks between the two sides still come and go, the picture on the battlefield is very magnificent, in fact, when the number of people reaches a certain level, the whole battle will be extremely shocking anyway, the number of 200,000 troops and tens of thousands of artillery pieces of various colors combined attack is enough to paint the most magnificent picture.

The airship troops overhead undoubtedly caused extremely heavy casualties and obstacles to Mordor, which made it difficult for their largest trebuchet troops to play their full strength, and in the face of such an attack, Mordor was not without countermeasures, in the rear of the Black Gate Fortress, a huge camp began to attack, which contained a large number of Wyvern troops, Mordor only found the air troops of the Terrans, and soon began to pay attention to their own air troops after several battles, the Wyvern Sacrifice was undoubtedly eliminated instantly, and then developed a more powerful force, and there were more of them。

The Flying Dragon Knight is the main air unit of Mordor, before Mordor always thought that the human race only had dragon vulture knights, and now he has a more powerful flying dragon knight, presumably how to say that he will not be pressed and beaten, and his own number is indeed a lot, who can say that he will not be able to defeat the enemy in the air? But the reality is that Mordor has been slapped in the face, because in addition to the dragon vulture knights, the human race also has this kind of terrifying airship troops, and when Mordor saw the huge airship troops, his mood had already fallen directly into the freezing point.

Mordor also knows the importance of air supremacy, so they are also dedicated to the development of the Wyvern troops, and even in the civil war, there is an unwritten rule that is not to use the Wyvern troops, everyone knows that sooner or later they will fight with the coalition forces, so the Wyvern troops are very precious, I thought everything was ready, but in the end I found that I was still too serious.

But now that the arrow has to be fired, Mordor still has great expectations for his Wyvern troops, hoping to rely on his army to inflict heavy casualties on the coalition air units, or at least delay the coalition airship forces.

From the numbers, when a thousand huge Wyvern knights took off one after another, and then flew towards the airship after hovering in the air and gathering, the overwhelming picture finally greatly boosted the morale of the Mordor soldiers on the ground who had been bombarded, and they excitedly waved the weapons in their hands and cheered loudly, and the picture of a thousand Wyvern Knights was not at all inferior to the momentum of the allied Mordor air fleet.

This scene is like the dark magic army of the demon world attacking the technology fleet of the human world, on one side is the overwhelming dragon knights, on the other side is the vigorous air fleet, although the two sides of the picture look not much different, but the actual situation is very different, because the dragon knight of Mordor is not really the kind of dragon knight with the powerful magic ring, just some huge heavy flying knights.

"Massive enemy air forces have been spotted ahead!"

The observer immediately reported to the airship fleet in the distance after seeing the Mordor air force in the distance, and the commander of the airship fleet, Frank, who was debriefed, was wearing a gorgeous steampunk captain's suit, he took out his pocket watch and touched the pure gold medium slightly with the palm of the white silk glove, and then stood in his command position and began to give orders:

"All fleet guns forward, gunboat units forward, machine guns reloaded, order the carrier-based aircraft units to prepare for departure, magic crystal cannons aimed at the front to charge begin!"

Frank's mood at this time was extremely agitated, this was the first real large-scale air battle since he served as the commander of the air fleet, according to the results of countless previous training, Frank issued one order after another, the air fleet that was still maintaining the ground covered by artillery fire stopped the artillery fire in an instant, and the whole team began to change formation, standing outside the hanging window of the main ship and looking, countless small gunboats continued to fly forward, the fleet around him was dense, all the machine guns continued to rock up and down, and the machine gun ammunition inside was reloading in a hurry。

In order to maintain firepower, the ammunition of the gunboats is extremely troublesome, which is also the limitation of backward technology, so Frank specially let the gunboat troops reload early, and the whole fleet quickly put out a new formation, a large number of gunboats were discharged to the front line, and behind them was the huge Alduin-class capital ships, they lined up in a battle line, aimed the side muzzles forward, and the magic crystal cannon was a faintly glowing charged light.

Inside them, countless soldiers were busy running, one by one the dragon vulture knights came to their starting positions, they were fully armed, fed and drunk, the ground staff waved flags and constantly passed on the basic information of the dragon vulture knights they served, and the entire carrier-based aircraft team also completed the preparations.

Is it really the Demon Realm Air Force attacking the technological fleet of the Human Realm? Of course not, but the absolute crushing of one era over another.

The Terran fleet has a complete combat effectiveness at the low, medium and high levels, and there are various aspects of cooperation, so to speak, the Terran fleet is a mature fleet structure, capital ships, gunboats, carrier-based aircraft, heavy long-range firepower, light short-range firepower, dogfights and hand-to-hand attack carrier-based aircraft units, it can be said that the Terran fleet is comprehensive and powerful, and Mordor is the simplest single arm operation, the attack distance is not considered, the air performance is not considered, and the coordination of the arms is not considered. They are less like a modern air force and more like a gangster who will go to the sky and be better equipped to fight in groups.

So the next battle is needless to say, although it has not yet reached a one-sided slaughter, but it is also completely pressed and beaten.

Everyone on the battlefield paid attention to the upcoming battle in the sky, like a dark cloud pressing towards the flying dragon troops of the coalition airship fleet getting closer and closer, and after the coalition airship troops completed the formation change, they also changed all the ammunition and prepared for battle after ten minutes of busyness, and then, the air battle began, different from the aircraft group battle on the earth, the air in Middle-earth was more magnificent.

The huge naval cannon fired directly into the distance, and the thick and dense energy beam directly shot out of dozens of blank belts of this dark cloud, and the flying dragon knights inside were directly evaporated, although the firepower and the picture were magnificent and abnormal, but Mordor was quickly relieved after a jump, although the combat effectiveness of these huge warships was strong, but in the face of these small air units for them, coupled with the extremely open flying dragon knights, these cannon fire could not hit many enemies at all.

The Mordor commanders, who had figured this out, breathed a sigh of relief, and now it seemed that their side still had a chance to win, and then the countless cannons in the sky that were specially prepared for air combat began to wield.

Whether it was a specialized gunboat or an anti-aircraft cannon on the capital ship, the Mordor Wyvern Knight in front of him fired a dense cannonball like a torrential rain, and from the perspective of the people on the ground, a dense torrent of cannonballs appeared in the space between the Wyvern Knight and the coalition airship, and these cannonballs looked like gray-white raindrops because they were far away, and these cannonballs were like a torrential rain washing away the enemy in front of them.

The Wyvern Knight in the distance just breathed a sigh of relief, and then was blinded by the overwhelming artillery attack, the fierce artillery fire made them unbelievable, and soon fell one after another after a glance, the dense cannonballs were simply invincible for the armor on their bodies, after all, no matter how thick the armor was, it was impossible to resist the attack of large-caliber machine guns, and the dense artillery fire was one after another, looking into the air, you will find that the cloud-like Wyvern Knight began to fall one after another, and their team was beaten in an instant。

And standing outside the hanging window of the airship unit and looking out, you will see that there is a dense artillery fire that is constantly firing everywhere around you, and the dense cannons are like rivers one after another, and the commander of Mordor, who was originally a little happy, turned blue in an instant, but fortunately, the commander of the Wyvern Knight in the sky is also a veteran, he quickly dispersed his troops, and then rushed into the coalition airship troops at the fastest speed.

His approach is undoubtedly right, in this case, they can reduce casualties, and a lot of artillery fire will be ineffective after getting close, because it is impossible for them to fire indiscriminately when the distance is too close, the dragon knights in the whole sky were originally relatively neat in an instant, they are like dive bombers around the fleet constantly circling around, and the peripheral cannons are facing these scattered enemy forces, it is very difficult to control them, although the fight is also extremely hot for a while, but it is difficult for the coalition forces to inflict any substantial damage on them, and it is at this time, The huge Alduin airship opened its own hatch, looking at the suddenly opened hatches, the commanders of the tribes below were stunned, and then they saw the dragon vulture knights flying out like dumplings, and the door of each formation they flew out would close, and then open again, and another formation was released, and soon there were no less than the number of dragon knights in the entire sky.

The cost of the dragon vulture knight is originally cheaper than the dragon, and the dragon vulture itself is stronger than the dragon breeding ability, their number is a little more than the dragon is completely reasonable, if in the previous concept of Mordor is completely the battle of the dragon vulture against the dragon, then the dragon vulture knight may really only rely on the number to fight, but now it is different, the number of dragon vulture knights is indeed more than the dragon, but they no longer rely on the number but the whole air combat system behind them.

Countless dragon vulture knights flew between the airships, they held huge long-barreled wheel muskets, relying on the dragon vulture to fly in the air, any Mordor flying dragon knight who dared to rush in, will soon be subject to the fire of the entire air unit, close to the countless dragon vultures greeting, far away from the machine cannon, even if they are lucky to rush in, they will also be bombarded by a machine gun that is not affected by the shooting boundary and the dragon vulture chase, and now Mordor finds that their carefully prepared air army, the bureau is not at all useful to face the human airship!
