Chapter Twenty-Eight: War and Hell. above
"Kill, ahhhh
At the foot of the mountain, the enemy had already rushed to within three hundred meters of the Pulun army.
The Purons defended the lower part of the mountain in accordance with a predetermined plan. The hoplites led by the March elite formed the first line of defense, and these heavily armoured, armed with round shields and long knives, were combined to form a wall made of steel, enough to keep thousands of troops out, and it was impossible to enter!
"Wings on alert!!" With a wave of his hand, the commander in the red helmet immediately scattered to both flanks of the vigilant troops next to the March Legion, the October Legion. They advanced in a V-shaped formation from the line behind them, breaking through the enemy's plan to flank the March Army from the left and right.
If anyone can look down from the sky at this time, they will find that the October Legion of the King of Pullen is like a pair of huge wings that slowly spread, completely incorporating the entire March Legion into their own protective net. That's right, this is the legendary Crane Wing Array invented during the Warring States period.
The March soldiers at the front were the backbone of the army, and most of them were veterans of the last Pandora battle. Obviously, this time the legion upgrade is also a priority to provide equipment updates for these soldiers who have already participated in a war.
The soldiers leaned side by side, their shields pressed tightly against each other. The iron-clad shield was not only sturdy but also very lightweight, and with its reduced size, it was more agile than the near-life-size shields of the October Legion. In addition, the long knives they carry around their waists, as well as the crossbows they carry on their backs, have been upgraded.
The long knives used by the March soldiers are powerful and heavy, slashing and stabbing at all, while the crossbow behind them has a large range and strong power, which has a stronger piercing power than the ordinary Pullon crossbow, and can destroy a combat power with a single hit. However, because both of these items were heavier, the March soldiers had to forgo carrying more external items, including javelins, to lighten their loads.
"Two hundred meters!! The enemy is in range, and the March crossbow array is ready! ”
At the sound of an order, the March soldiers neatly turned over and withdrew their shields, and put their long knives into their sheaths. With their right hand behind their backs, they removed the crossbow from the hook behind the iron armor, while their left hand pulled out a crossbow arrow from behind their left shoulder and placed it in the string. With a "click", the hand-cranked March long crossbow that uses the principle of gears to make zuò has been prepared.
The March Long Crossbow is 6 centimeters longer and about 3 centimeters wider than the ordinary Pleon crossbow. The firing range is about 30 meters more than the range of 100~150 meters of the Pleon crossbow, and the maximum effective killing distance of 180 meters is reached by the limit of the crossbow bow in this era.
Not only that, but the March Long Crossbow not only has a wide range and long range, but also has a much faster reload speed than the normal Puren Power. However, the relatively large size occupies nearly two-thirds of the area carried by the tactical items of the Pullen armor, so that although the March soldiers have been strengthened in long-range lethality, they have also lost more diverse combat equipment. However, the good thing is that the October Legion still retains its original equipment, and they will be able to fill the lack of the March Legion.
"190 meters!! The whole army aims" With a roar and a roar from the captain, all the March soldiers in the first row fell to their knees on one knee, their crossbows in both hands and aimed ahead. At the same time, the March soldiers in the second row took a neat step forward, bent down and placed their crossbows above the heads of their comrades in front. At this time, the March soldiers in the back row raised their crossbows at the same time and bowed their waists to the sky.
The Welshmen were already screaming and were about to rush to a hundred and fifty meters range, when they also noticed that the Puron Legion had aimed a large number of crossbows at this side. Some of the Welshmen who rushed to the front turned pale with fright, but they had to continue to rush forward under tremendous pressure.
"Damn it! How come they have so many crossbows?! ”
"Oh my God, is that a pair of hands?! How rich they are! ”
"Run! Come on! Rush through and fight them hand-to-hand! We're all going to die if we stay here! ”
The atmosphere on the battlefield became extremely fierce for a while, and the Welsh were running in an almost desperate manner, almost at a staggering speed.
But it was at this time that suddenly, there was a trombone sound from the rear of the Pleen army.
"Stop!!"
The March captains who were standing in front gave this order almost at the same time, because this kind of horn sound was too familiar to them, and the training in the military academy had made them have a subconscious reaction every time they heard this horn, and even sometimes their bodies and mouths had already moved in advance before their brains turned around.
At the sound of the order, all the March soldiers immediately released their fingers that had been pressed on the trigger. But instead of immediately putting away their crossbows and returning to melee mode, they just stayed where they were, motionless as they watched the enemy get closer and closer. It's not that they're violating orders, they're carrying them out. Because all the captains shouted just now was "Stop!" Instead of "Receive!" ”
In the Puren army, the meaning of "stopping" is not to stop and put away, but to maintain the original posture to complete the "freeze" action. "Receiving" is to lift the previous action and return to the original mode of action. Such a complex language and commands, as well as the skill of listening to orders, can only be achieved by the army of the Puron King's City!
At the top of the hill, King Pullen Drak Char sneered at the Welsh who had rushed into the death zone.
"Yanya, give the order."
"Yes!"
Yania turned, sword in one hand, and flicked her arm vigorously towards the sky. She shouted in loud and clear words: "Fallen Sky Force Combat Mode 2!" Iron Ops Unleashed! Six machines in a row, the first round of release! ”
Iron Operation is the second combat plan of the Fallen Sky Force, and it belongs to the same combat sequence mode of the Fallen Sky Force as the "Desert Operation". In addition, there are multiple combat modes that are set up to deal with various conditions such as "rain", "forest", "swamp", "desert", and "siege".
Therefore, sometimes many people of Pulon are in awe and fear of the king of Puren, and even many people praise the wisdom of the king as a god, because he always thinks of things that others can't think of and does things that others can't do. Therefore, it is inevitable that it will be almost mythologized by people.
At this time, the six Fallen Sky Troops hiding on the top of the mountain put bags of heavy bags into the "spoons", which were different from the previous ones, which were filled with sand and dirt. There seemed to be a lot of iron inside, and even some sharp things had cut through the bag, revealing small sharp thorns on the outside of the bag.
"The projectile distance is 150 meters ~ 200 meters. Buckle the rope on the bag in two and one section, but don't buckle it to death! Otherwise, you won't be able to spread it if you fly into the air! An experienced loader said.
The last time the desert battle was because some bags were not detained in advance, and in the case of flying into the air, the strength, speed, wind pressure = the bag mouth was loosened, and the dust inside was automatically sprayed outward. It's like a rocket jet, as long as the pressure is enough, plus the pocket is buckled, then it is completely possible to master how to make the bag automatically explode in the air at a suitable distance within a certain range.
"Launch!!" The flag-bearer waved heavily, and the order was given!
Bang - Bang Bang!!
Six Fallen Skies threw twelve sacks high into the blue sky at the same time, but this was only the beginning, when the first wave was projected, the second wave was immediately in urgent preparation. Because the Fallen Troops use torsion gears, the reload speed is very fast, and as long as the arm strength of the soldier who twists the long pole is strong enough, the time can be greatly reduced.
"Returned!!" Two twisters on either side of a fallen sky shouted sweaty. The two torsioners were tall and strong-armed, wearing leather armour with a belt around their waists, with tools needed for restoration, such as hammers and spare small gears.
"Loader!"
After the four loaders carried two heavy, silent sacks into the "spoons", they waved vigorously at the standard-bearers in front of them.
"Reloaded!!"
"Launch!!"
A minute and a half later, the second batch of projections also projected into the battlefield ahead with a burst of air-breaking sounds
