Chapter 414: Flame Legion (104/105)
At this moment, on the other side of the battlefield, there were 5,000 cavalry charging rapidly, looking down from above, you can see that their advance route happened to be a huge arc, they bypassed the huge French legion, came to the flank and rear of the tank legion, and then quickly approached the tank corps.
It is said that it is cavalry, but these cavalrymen do not have common cavalry weapons on their bodies, they do not carry knights' spears, and they do not carry shields, each of them only carries a standard long sword at his waist, and he is not wearing knight's armor, but ordinary cloth clothes.
The most unique thing is that behind each of them, they carry a huge bag like a schoolbag, which is very tightly bulging, looking like a traveler in a hurry.
Naturally, they couldn't be travelers, these cavalry were the Flame Legion set up by Marshal Tyrande, these five thousand cavalrymen, each carrying a huge explosive bag behind their backs, which was filled with black powder.
Although they carry swords on their bodies, they rarely use them, and Rausch Tyrande has devised a special tactic for this legion, which is actually as simple as rushing near the enemy, igniting the package behind them, and throwing them out.
After his defeat at the hands of Eugen, Rausch Tyrande thought hard about this way of fighting, and in his opinion, if he had such an army, he would never have been defeated at the hands of Eugen.
During the battle, he only needs to have a soldier of the Flame Legion casually drop an explosive bag on the enemy's defense, and he can easily destroy the weak defense, open the gap, and let his soldiers rush in.
The power of this explosive pack was also tested by Marshal Rausch Tyrande, and ordinary wooden fences could be destroyed in an instant, but in the face of defenses made of stone such as city walls, they were slightly less powerful.
However, explosive packs can also be used to blow open city gates, as long as there are enough of them, even if it is impossible to blow a section of the city wall open.
At this moment, his old rival Eugen, Field Marshal Rausch Tyrande, immediately sent the Flame Legion, he wanted Eugen to try what he had felt, and he wanted to use these explosive packs to completely destroy Eugen's defense.
I have to say that Marshal Rausch Tyrande's idea is indeed unique, the Flame Legion actually bypassed Eugen's tank corps and gradually approached the rear of the tank corps.
Because the observation range of the observation port inside the tank was limited, they could not spot these cavalry coming around in the first place, and when Eugen found out, the cavalry of the Flame Legion was still about 100 meters behind the tank legion.
"Not good! When did they come over? Damn, move fast, point your machine guns at these cavalrymen and shoot them! Eugen hurriedly gave the order through the radio channel to get the tank moving.
However, at this time, a huge problem of this Type A tank was exposed, that is, the machine gun muzzle and the turret were on the front, and it could not rotate freely, and if you wanted to attack the enemy with a machine gun, you had to make the tank turn.
At the same time, because the shell armor is made of thick steel plates, the overall weight of the tank is very heavy, and the flexibility is also greatly affected, and there is no way to flexibly turn it around in a short time.
In addition, the drivers are all novices who have just been trained, and in the face of this situation, they are in a hurry, and there is no way to operate the tank freely.
Eugen and the others could only watch as the cavalry rushed to the rear of the tank, scattered, took off the explosives in their hands, lit them and threw them at them.
"It's over......" Eugen looked at the explosives bags flying over, and he could roughly guess what it was from the appearance alone, and for a while he only felt that he had completely taken off this time, and he accidentally fell into this dangerous situation, and even his life was lost here.
After the cavalry of the Flame Legion rushed to the rear of the tank unit, they were also a little dazed, they did not see the imaginary enemy, but only saw a huge iron block, and there was a steel pipe on the iron block that kept blazing.
With no enemy in sight, the Flame Legion didn't know how to attack for a while, and at this moment, the iron in their eyes suddenly moved, looking very strange.
The bold knights were also taken aback, and seeing this, they had no other choice, so they took off the explosive bags from their backs, lit them, and threw them directly at the iron blocks.
They knew the power of the packets, and although they couldn't figure out what they were, they thought they could blow them up if they threw them over.
In this way, the schoolbag-sized explosive bags were thrown on the front and back of the A-type tank, and some were thrown directly on the tank, and basically every tank had at least one explosive bag nearby, and then the knights of the Flame Legion retreated, not paying attention to their own results.
After a brief silence of two seconds, a boom, a raging flame enveloped Eugen's tank corps, enveloping all the tanks, and the flames formed by the fierce burning of gunpowder covered the tank corps like a thick red carpet.
Looking down from the sky, you can see that the tank has completely turned into a sea of fire, and the flames have wrapped the tank, baking patches of charred black marks on the tank.
A loud sound exploded in his ears, and the people hiding in the tank were temporarily deaf.
The air waves rushed back and forth, and the tanks, which weighed several tons, were blown to the left and right, as if an earthquake had occurred.
Five thousand explosive packets, the flames they formed were completely connected, and Eugen's eyes were completely covered in red, and he could even feel a wave of heat gushing in from the observation port.
"It's over......" Eugen lay back in his seat in despair, and when he saw the fiery red flames, he knew that his tank had been attacked by bombs.
At the moment, all in his mind was the image of the tank being blown up, and he had even imagined what it would be like at his funeral.
At the same time, a puff of black smoke poured in from the observation port and hit Eugen's face, instantly turning his nose, eyes, ears, and mouth into black ash.
After the flames of the explosion, a cloud of black smoke rose into the air, forming a huge cloud of smoke that slowly rose high into the sky.
Marshal Rausch Tyrande, even if he was at the rear, could see the black smoke rising from the air, and when he saw this, he immediately shouted in ecstasy: "Hahaha, Eugen, you have also tasted the power of my Flame Legion this time, hahaha, I can't do it, so I can't defeat you." ”
