The 10-kilometer march distance doesn't seem like much for an army in the Age of Magic, and if there are any problems, it can only be done in terms of logistics and supplies, officers, and peacetime training. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For the newly formed 7th Army, it is simply a lot of hardship to get these hapless marines to complete this part of the march, first of all, although there is no shortage of logistics, and the officers are okay, but how do you deal with the strange democratic ideas of the Franks?

"Seven kilometers in three days, you dare to camp so close to the castle?" Lorraine put down the report in his hand, looked at the officer of the Marine Corps opposite him with an incredulous expression, and said with a smile: "What do you think you have under your command?" This is the second rotten infantry of St. Orlando after the Duke of Corman, delicate and unreasonable, if you don't eat well, you will show your face, you better think about how to fight the bastards in the castle tomorrow. ”

Such infantry was useless to the uncle, and considering that he could go to Transvania to recruit the fierce Korsalan militia by breaking through here, he looked down on the Franks even more.

But Lorraine didn't know this question, he could only look at Kalinin with a pleading face, hoping to get a wonderful answer, Kalinin, who was watched by Lorraine, stepped forward with a smile and a smile, "What Chief of Staff Azinaha said is not wrong, these soldiers we recruited, except for the professional armies of the first wing with minor problems, can still ensure combat effectiveness, the second and third wings do not see any hope at all, Captain Thaiwen and Captain Sam have more than once hoped to send more suitable officers to lead these flange infantry or change a group of soldiers, Otherwise, it's really hard to expect to survive the duel of guns. ”

"But you also know that we have neither the finances nor the resources of the army, and Archduke Luther will never issue another copperpenny, unless we can see that the passage is opened, we can only count on the troops at hand to fight." Lorraine said helplessly, and several people present agreed with sad faces and couldn't think of other ways to deal with it, Josephine thought about it and asked directly: "Why don't we just rush over the castle and throw bombs?" ”

"This is actually taking into account economic and material factors." It was Ma Long, the head of the engineering department, who spoke, "We don't have logistics now, and at the same time, occupying the castle can ensure smooth transportation and material transportation within the empire and the Korsaland Peninsula, so we can't bomb directly." ”

"Then try special operations, right? Didn't you St. Orlandos have formed assault teams in each legion to deal with big troubles? Although Yuri's words are said to have a certain enlightening effect, where is there any offensive corps in the newly formed Seventh Army, and the only slightly similar army is the First Marine Wing and the rotorcraft unit.

Thinking of this, Lorraine suddenly felt that if he cooperated with the rotorcraft sneak attack, put three wings of marines on the front, and cooperate with the gunners of the Royal Princess, maybe he could really fight.

"Hey, that's good! It's rare that Lorraine can think of such a good idea, so let's do it tomorrow! ”

"As long as the Marines can withstand it, the rotorcraft unit should be able to succeed!"

"Deck artillery to me, let you see the invincible Riberia artillery skills in the world!"

The officer who responded with a bang made such a hasty decision, as for Irene's stinky face and didn't see it at all, the unlucky large Lori, as the strongest spellcaster on the ship, had to prepare all kinds of magic items overnight, cooperate with the engineering department to repair the gyroplane and artillery, and didn't go to sleep until dawn, not caring about the next battle at all.

So when the sun rose the next day, amid the shouts and curses of officers at all levels, the three Marine Wings of the Seventh Army completed their preparations for battle, lined up in a simple zigzag, and moved slowly towards the castle.

The reason why the formation is arranged like this is mainly because the morale and quality of the flanged infantry on both flanks can be said to be too low, and it may be okay to fight a tailwind battle, once the opponent comes to a surprise attack, it is estimated that it can survive fifteen minutes, and the only first wing that can meet the impact head-on must be placed in the middle, used to counter the enemy's possible central breakthrough tactics, as for the cavalry attacks that may be encountered on the flanks, it is not taken into account.

In fact, with the reconnaissance advantage of the gyroplane, the enemy has no way to quietly transport mobile forces to the flank of the Marine Corps, and he also knew the order of the brainless commander at the beginning, there are no woods within a radius of ten kilometers from the castle, and there is no possibility of a sneak attack at all, so Mario Knight can only watch the other party slowly approach with a headache.

At this time, the Royal Princess also did not stop, directly flanking the enemy to launch artillery fire cover, even if Admiral Catherine roared and scolded angrily, this stick artillery is really a little weak, the number is already small plus the quality is close to nothing, the shells fired out even they don't know where to fly, they are really fighters in the garbage.

However, the artillery is not strong does not mean that it will not hit the enemy, after all, they are all shooting on airships, and the target is still the castle where anti-aircraft fire is scarce, even if the outrageous shells still fly into the castle, and the defenders are helpless.

Who would have thought of going to the air in this era of artillery, most of the air units are light armor units, and they can be dealt with with with the extended-range demon breaking sniper rifle, but the royal princess is a whimsical large armored air unit, even if the griffon knight has no losses, the enemy army in the castle will not dare to go up.

Finding that the loss of morale and troops was getting bigger and bigger, Mario Knight had to take the surviving troops out of the city to fight, but fortunately, although the cavalry was a little unstable, they could still enter the charge, but seeing the airships staring at the sky and the rotorcraft troops whistling by, the knight was really not sure to break up the opponent's army array.

Half an hour after the battle began, the array of marines began to spread out in a line formation, and while the enemy was still worried about the shells flying around, the marines under Kalinin's command stopped to make final preparations for the engagement.

Mario Knight understands that there is no chance if he does not attack at this time, and can only finish his work in one battle, "Soldiers! On the other side are some rebellious mincs and flange noodle soldiers! For the honor of the Ostland family! Charge with me! ”

Immediately, the horses began to charge in a straight line, and the castle defenders behind him responded with the presence of horses, launching a huge frontal assault at the sound of the horn, barely maintaining a line charge formation, trying to disperse these marines in a wave.

The troops, who had been resting for a while, raised their guns and prepared to shoot, and the little goblins summoned by Lorraine also appeared at the back of the group, and began to build a guard camp and an active energy recovery station to prepare for the inevitable casualties later.

"Listen to me! The central queue is ready to shoot! ”

With Kalinin's order, the soldiers of the first wing calmly raised the muskets in their hands, and at a distance of ten meters in front of the queue, the mage troops began to cast various spells in the air, and a curved protective belt was being formed, in order to reduce the power of the charge and the damage suffered by the troops.

The 2nd and 3rd Marine Wings on both wings, also under the command of Captain Sam and Captain Thaiwen, were ready to shoot, but there was a gap in action and discipline, and they could only pray that the Royal Princess and the gyrocopter units on their heads would come to their aid in time.

Because the cavalry troops of the assault were less than three hundred meters away from them, they had already begun to divert and prepare to storm three arrays at once! I really don't know how their commander thought that from the heavens, the number of cavalry on the other side is definitely less than a thousand, and he dares to do this, then the line of muskets will let him know what the roar of steel and fire is.

Closer, closer, the horses' gasps could almost be heard, and—

"Shoot all!"

"Fire!"

"Shoot!"

The roar of the commanders made the soldiers subconsciously pull the trigger, and the buckshot storm instantly attacked the cavalry from the left, center, right, and three directions, but the 2nd and 3rd Marine Wings, which did not have much experience, emptied the bullets in their hands at one time, and fell into a temporary reload gap, allowing the cavalry to seize the opportunity to rush directly into the line!

As for the troops commanded by Kalinin in the middle, they immediately lay down after the first round of shooting, the infantry standing behind immediately stepped forward to replenish, and when the surviving cavalry was about to make contact, the second platoon of guns arrived.

Mario Knight, who thought he could smoothly impact the enemy's central array, was not so lucky this time, as if he was hit by a battering ram, the whole person fell out, and after feeling a sharp pain in the clouds, he didn't feel anything up and down his body except above the neck.

The knight, who couldn't feel the pain, realized at this time that he should have a broken spine or something, anyway, he couldn't participate in this battle without the help of the priest.

Lying there quietly, looking at the sky, he soon saw a group of gyroplanes and battle mages that formed a team of gyroplanes and battle mages leaving the huge airship and flying in the direction of the castle, looking at the huge character on the hull of the ship, the HMS royal princess, he couldn't help but be in a trance, maybe it might be better to express kindness at the beginning.

The vision became darker and darker, Mario felt more and more tired, the Sandman kept tempting him, and finally he saw his wife who died early, and never woke up, if there were soldiers cleaning the battlefield, he would see that the commander's spine was completely broken, and the aortic blood vessels in his thigh were pierced by sharp spears, almost dying of blood loss.

The dead don't have to pay attention to the troubles of this world, but the infantry and a small number of mage troops who have not yet met the enemy are miserable. Since there was no one to lead the rotorcraft troops, this time Lorraine continued to pilot his Shark painted gyroplane, and with the help of more battle mages, he easily suppressed the enemy mage fire and began the slaughter operation.

Although it is said that it will take about fifteen minutes to help Sam and Taylor, because the two unlucky captain's French soldiers were actually killed by dozens of surviving cavalrymen! It was necessary to summon air power to strangle these crazy Osterland cavalry, and as for their own losses, they can only be counted after the battle.

The infantry line continued to advance, and the enemy infantry who were attacked from the air was always in a state of command confusion, and after barely fighting three rounds of guns with the marines, they finally could not support the formation of deserters, taking this opportunity, as the only mobile force in the marines, the war horses collected by Uncle Azinaha finally came in handy.

A mere hundred cavalry is barely useful, but under the leadership of Uncle Ross, they actually played the effect of riding a thousand, and it was completely more than 100 of them chasing thousands of enemies who had lost their courage at a fast speed, slashing and slashing wildly, and completing an epic battle effect - occupying the city gate with cavalry!

Even the remaining Austrand infantry trying to retake the gates were routed by the resupplied rotorcraft forces and battle mages, and with the arrival of the three Marine Wings, the recent Battle of Junction Castle connecting the Korsaland Peninsula and the Duchy of France came to an end, and the Seventh Army achieved its first victory.
