In the Cologne area, Zhang Hao rode a war horse and led the death knights to wait quietly in the middle of the Walkma Legion.

The Walkma Legion is a legion with all-imperial artillery, of course, it has to fight positional warfare, and the army of 100,000 is divided into two parts in addition to the artillery unit, arranged in an inverted zigzag formation, with the north gray mountain range on the left side, the sea on the right, and a distance of more than several kilometers in the middle. The front row of the army was all shielded infantry, layer upon layer of shield forming a sturdy shield wall, each layer of which was also interspersed with halberders, and in the back were ranged troops, who stood on a half-man-high wooden platform and could easily leapfrog the front row of soldiers for an effective attack, and they were protected by the Light Mages who had prepared to protect the artillery units with all their might.

The reason for the temporary change of strategy was because there was a light rain in the sky suddenly, although it was just that kind of drizzle, but the tens of thousands of harpy banshees flying in the air did not give ****, so Zhang Hao decided to personally go to the sky to clean up a wave when the war started, and then the remaining harpy banshees believe that they will not cause much trouble to the long-range troops, after all, the number of soldiers is there.

In addition to the light mage, there are also a few mages from other departments, when they were in the academy before, they studied combined magic, and today they are here to do a good actual combat experiment, and there are recorders around each mage, and they will record the degree of damage of the combined magic in detail.

And at the seal of the inverted word are a hundred steam tanks, as the largest giant unit in the human country, the scale of hundreds of them is now enough to sweep the forces of the entire continent, plus the artillery and cavalry behind him, the beastmen on the opposite side, even if there are another 100,000 people, Zhang Hao is also fearless in his heart. In the middle of the inverted word is Zhang Hao and his death cavalry, and the other cavalry are all placed around the artillery unit, as a reserve at the same time, the combination of light, heavy, and long-range cavalry is enough to destroy any enemy who dares to rush in front of the artillery unit.

"Although we are here to help our allies today, this will be another turning point in the history of the Empire, and after today, the Empire will once again usher in glory and return to the top of the world! Of course, these words alone are not convincing, so here we are. Warriors! Do you remember the Siege of Aldolph? Remember the high walls that were once blown up? These shames, from today onwards, we will wash them back one by one, and let everyone know the determination of the empire to take revenge!! You don't have to wave your flag and shout, save your strength, and tell the world with your actions that we have both olive branches and murderous knives in our hands!! "Field Marshal Robert, as commander, used a magic megaphone to bring the sound to everyone's ears. Everyone obeyed the order and there was no sound of the pit, but the fighting ** in their eyes betrayed their hearts, the soldiers were eager to fight, eager to win, the battle with the vampires, the protagonist was Zhang Hao, but today's protagonist is everyone present. "Mortar standard injection process!"

After Marshal Robert finished speaking, a mortar gun beside him "Bang!" A red cannonball was fired, and the cannonball made a sharp whistling sound in the sky, and after a short flight, it fell into the ground in an arc, and the explosion lifted the land and formed a small crater.

After the beastmen's army saw the artillery falling, the whole army paused for a few seconds, but then quickly moved forward again, they only thought this was the warning of the empire, but they didn't know that this small pit that was only higher than the ankle was the death line, the imperial artillery except for the hell-level wind cannon belonged to the medium and long-range artillery, only the range of the mortar was the closest, as long as it entered the range of the mortar, then everyone after the beastman would be within the range of the artillery. The army of beastmen that stretched for thousands of meters accounted for about half of the cannon fodder, and it was a waste of armor-piercing shells from cannons to hit them.

However, the beast kings who led the army in front of the beastmen only regarded this as an ordinary warning, and after a few loud taunts, they urged the inferior beast troops to continue advancing. Of course, there are also elite troops among the cannon fodder troops, and the charging troops composed of the Chaos Mastiff and the Bayonet Beast Herd and the Bayonet Beast Chariot are hidden among the centaurs and the inferior horns. When the army reached a few steps ahead of the location of the small pit created by the mortar, the Beastmen ordered the army of beastmen behind them to stop.

Moments later, thousands of Bretonnian civilians were driven straight ahead, with chains and shackles.

"Marshal, they are going to use civilians as meat shields, are we still going to fire the cannon as originally planned? Or wait for these civilians to run out of range and fire? After all, we are still recording the whole process, will it damage the image of the empire if it is broadcast? Seeing this, Binny immediately asked Robert.

"What is this place, Bini? At this time mercy is a dereliction of duty to the soldiers under your command, and you are now a general, and you put your share of responsibility for His Majesty the Prince on these soldiers, and they will repay you with their actions. ”

"Yes, Shuai Yuan." With that, Bini returned to his place and continued to observe, but what happened next surprised everyone.

I saw that the beastmen untied the shackles of the civilians and told them to run, but before they had run two steps, countless beasts ran out of the legs of the soldiers in the front row, pounced on the civilians who thought they could be saved, and ate quickly. These beasts have been hungry for a long time, but thousands of people are simply not enough to feed all the beasts, what if they are still hungry? There is enough food in front of them to kill them, and they can't use their full combat strength when they are hungry, but after eating something and the temptation of food in front of them, these beasts will become more ferocious than before.

Tens of thousands of beasts ate the flesh and blood of civilians so fast, and before Robert could react, the beast kings gave the order to charge at the same time, covering the sky and the sun of the harpy, and the black-pressed beastman army crossed the small pit in a moment, and under the leadership of the beasts, they frantically pounced towards the emperor's ** array.

"Fire!! Fire!! According to the plan, I will be able to flatten every piece of land after the marked points!! ”

"Boom!" "Boom!!" "Boom !!" Each platoon of artillery fired at a different angle because of the distance, and it was precisely because of this that the dense shells were enough to cover wherever they wanted to cover. The sound of hundreds of artillery firing at the same time was like the roar of Thor, and the heaven and earth felt quiet after the loud bang, and the buzzing in the ears of the surrounding soldiers lasted for several seconds before recovering. Unlike the black sky above the beastmen, the Imperial Front soldiers were now shining in the sky like stars, illuminating the gloomy sky brilliantly.

The violent explosions and raging fire caused by the cannonballs that landed taught the charging beastmen army what it meant to be afraid, and in a moment the sky shook as if the mountains were about to collapse, the tsunami was about to sweep in, and the ground was about to fall. At this moment, the beastmen have no distinction between noble and lowly, cannon fodder and elite, and at this moment they have encountered the fairest thing in their lives, death. Explosions, heat, shockwaves, shards, the Beastman who can still leave a full limb after these moments of damage is enough to blow for a long time after it dies....
