On October 1, 218 in the New Caesar calendar, the battle of the Wasteland Pass, after the prologue was sung, finally entered the main drama. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the midst of the roar of artillery fire, Dane's artillery formation and the city fire force of the wasteland pass were quite fierce and lively.

If nothing else, this should be the fiercest artillery battle that Schindlaire has had in years. In the past years, no warlord could have a field artillery team comparable to the current Dane, and no warlord dared to push artillery and fight the wealthy Im under the city of the wasteland pass.

Only Dane has such confidence.

This kind of artillery battle made people feel very angry at first.

However, when the two sides bombed each other for two days, the scene became a little too good - when the two sides bombed each other, the distance between them was really too far.

The alchemy artillery of the Orodic world is not cheap to manufacture, and the power of the cannonball is relatively large, but the distance at which the cannon is fired is really not flattering. The distance of more than 1,000 meters is almost the limit.

However, at present, when the two sides are shelling each other with artillery in the past two days, the distance between them is even greater than 1,000 meters.

At this distance, the desert's huge wind and sand already made it difficult for observers to aim at the target. Not to mention, at such a distance, the shells fired may even drift, and it is difficult for even the best and most experienced gunners to predict where their guns will hit.

The same goes for the gunners of Imu at the head of the city.

In addition, Dane's artillery line, in order to avoid being estimated by others to fix the bombing angle and distance, is constantly changing its position, dragged by horses and manpower, and after a few bombardments, it will quickly move away. In this way, although the casualties of your own side can be greatly reduced, after the target is transferred, it will become difficult to recalculate the distance and angle of the shell bombardment, which also leads to the fact that the results that Dane's artillery formation can achieve are not very satisfactory.

In this case, although the battle between the two sides was very lively, the results achieved by each side were not as many as the shells that were thrown.

After two days of bombardment, Dane lost ten artillery crews, and the losses suffered by the other side of the wasteland pass were basically the same as him.

While the artillery crew was fighting, Perkins and some other high-ranking officers had come to Dain and wanted to ask for battle. These guys have a relatively clear view of the current situation, and they also know that this battle cannot be delayed for a long time, and it is best to be able to solve it quickly.

But it was precisely because of this that they could not understand Dane's decision to let the artillery formation go to engage in a long-distance artillery battle with the defenders of the Wasteland Pass.

I really want to divide the winner from the loser, and it is estimated that it will be more than ten days or even half a month later. At that time, even if the artillery formation on Dane's side could blow the defenses on the wasteland pass to pieces, the army of Waterman, Count of the Bull, would probably have arrived.

This is bound to run counter to the original intention of a quick solution.

However, including Pehins, the vote of senior officers was rejected by Dane. Dane didn't explain anything to them, just told them to go back and restrain their troops and wait for further orders.

No one could go against Dane's orders, and they could only go back and go, and then watch Dain's artillery crew, and the city fire force on the Wasteland Pass set off a grand fireworks, and their hearts were anxious.

This anxiety lasted until the third day, and then came to an abrupt end.

……

On October 3, at ten o'clock in the morning, Dane's artillery position received a direct order from Dane: "Advance five hundred meters!" ”

This order is exciting!

Advancing 500 meters means that the artillery formation will enter the most suitable distance for launching an offensive against the enemy, which is enough for Dane's artillery formation to maximize its destructive power!

Of course, this also means that the artillery formations will also have to withstand the most intense fire from the enemy.

But the proud gunners didn't care, believing that they would be the victorious side in the upcoming firepower showdown.

However, if this order can be regarded as Dane finally figured out and wants to fight the enemy to the death, then the next order makes people feel a little unclear.

Not only did he demand that the artillery positions press forward, but at the same time, he also issued a request to the pure swordsmen of the wing behind the artillery formation to press forward with the artillery formation, and to press them as fast as possible to the position close to the enemy's gates, and then wait for the opportunity to move.

This order was opposed by the Alessandrina of that Alessandrina.

This former leader of the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment, who later surrendered to Dane, has now become the deputy commander of the White Wolf Fort Legion, and a woman with the rank of major general, questioned Dane's orders.

"My lord, I don't understand why this is happening. When our artillery formations engaged in a fire duel with the enemy's city-head firepower, the pure swordsmen could not help at all, and the process of their forward charge was to pass through the enemy's fire range, didn't this let them die in vain? ”

Alexandrina rarely spoke like this in front of Dane. But, after all, there were thousands of soldiers in the Pure Swordsman Regiment, and many of the officers and veterans in it came out of the Pure Sword Mercenary Regiment back then, in other words, they were all De Lina's old subordinates. Delina didn't want to see these people die, and Dane's order was indeed a bit bizarre, so she questioned it, which was not incomprehensible.

But Dane didn't have the heart to explain so much to her, he said very stiffly: "Execute the order, Major General!" ”

Delina had the heart to continue arguing a few more sentences, but under Dane's clear attitude, she couldn't change Dane's mind in the slightest.

In such a situation, she could only go down to appease her old subordinates.

It has to be said that Dane's army does have the spirit that an elite army should have.

Although Dane's order felt a little strange, even as if it had been sent to death in vain, so much so that the Wing Commander, after receiving the order, almost felt that he was going to go forever.

But in the end, these more than 1,000 pure swordsmen, from officers to soldiers, still on time and punctually, according to Dane's orders, along with the artillery formation, began to move forward with the determination to die.
