Chapter 404: Wyvern Bombardment
"It's a problem. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Vigraf's face changed greatly when he saw this scene, "Trolls have the ability to regenerate, even if they are directly hit by a cannonball and turn into a puddle of flesh, they can quickly regenerate and recover. ”
Roland smiled slightly: "Don't panic, the troll's regeneration ability also has weaknesses, strong acid and fire can cause fatal damage to it, I think Lord Beowulf will not ignore this, and will soon make targeted arrangements." ”
As he expected, the Kitlanders' position was not shaken by the troll army sent by the other side, and it was still a formation with infantry in front, shooters in the center, and artillery in the rear, except that the Northland rangers changed to enchanted flame arrows, and the loaders also loaded a somewhat strange-looking cannonball into the chamber.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Ten infantry guns fired again, this time the shells were similar to shotguns, and the shells were also cast from pig iron with a relatively high carbon content, and the texture was hard and brittle, and when hit, it would shatter into countless shrapnel, the difference was that the shells were not filled with small steel balls, but alchemical compounds based on blazing glue. This viscous compound is very unstable, and the moment the shell shatters, it is impacted, and immediately sticks to the shrapnel and burns violently.
Countless flaming shrapnel rained down on the trolls, causing cuts and igniting their dry skin, and scorching them in the flames, no amount of regenerative power could save their lives.
"Lord Beowulf is in good command, no matter how Grande organizes a counterattack, he has been targeted and restrained, presumably there are no cards to play, Mr. Roland, we can go over and meet the lord now, right?" Viglaf asked excitedly.
Roland shook his head, his eyes were still so deep and solemn: "It's too early to say that the victory and defeat have been divided, Grande's biggest advantage is the air force, and the gargoyle is just that, the bipedal wyvern may cause big trouble to the Kitlanders' position, as for our small cavalry unit, it is better to wait and see before acting, it can be used as a reserve at a critical moment, of course, I hope there is no critical moment." ”
The biggest shortcoming of the Kitlanders is the lack of a force that can defend the airspace, which is actually the weakness of the vast majority of armies in the Cold Weapon Era, on the other hand, the Grande side is not short of monsters that are good at flying, the gargoyle is a good scout class, the weight bearing capacity of the bipedal wyvern is stronger, and the corresponding tactical options are more, not to mention carrying cavalry to infiltrate behind enemy lines, Roland is more worried that Grande uses these flying dragons as bombers to airdrop some dangerous things.
This is not unfounded, not long ago in the industrial area, he witnessed the bipedal wyvern do this!
Roland had taken a course in "Social Psychology" before crossing over, and vaguely remembered that the professor talked about a psychological effect called "Murphy's Law" in class, which was simply a sentence - what you are afraid of comes.
A trumpet sounded in Grande's palace, and the bipedal wyverns were ordered to swarm into the air, numbering hundreds of them, and the black pressure obscured the sky and the sun. Each wyvern held a barrel and flew over the Kitlanders' positions.
"I'm in trouble!" Roland's face couldn't help but change, this was what he was most worried about.
The first Wyverns were the first to reach the skies over the Kitlanders, passing the infantry units in front and continuing to glide backwards.
The Northland rangers shoot arrows into the sky, but after all, the manpower is limited, and the arrows lose their strength when they fly to a height of 1,000 feet and fall, even if a few powerful arrows occasionally hit the flying dragon, they can't cause much substantial damage to the behemoth.
The Wyvern passed the marksman unit and soared in circles over the artillery position, seemingly adjusting the angle.
"Retreat!" Beowulf realized what was about to happen, and turned back to shout at the bewildered artillerymen with the lion king's battle cry, "Fast into the bomb shelter!" ”
"Don't drop the cannon!" Natasha cried out in pain.
Beowulf glared at his wife fiercely, barely resisting the urge to reprimand her in public, and just waved his hand vigorously to express his inner grief and indignation.
The artillerymen first heard the lord's order, but they were not willing to give up the precious cannon, and then they heard the supplementary order of the lord's wife, and they were suddenly relieved, and even though there was a flying dragon hovering over their heads, they opened the safety lock of the gun carriage and pushed it to the pre-dug dug dug dug air raid shelter.
Which is more important, human life or artillery?
Beowulf and Natasha and his wife are still in deep love and cannot reach a consensus, those artillerymen can choose to obey Beowulf's orders, drop the cannon and go into the bomb shelter first to save their lives, but they all choose to push the cannon into the bomb shelter first, and do not hesitate to sacrifice their lives to protect these expensive war machines!
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
The barrel dropped by the two-legged wyvern fell on the artillery position, and immediately exploded violently, merging the sand and flames into pillars of fire that soared into the sky, stinging people's eyes.
After a round of bombardment, the artillery position was already full of devastation, only one infantry gun was unlucky, it was bombarded by two barrels of explosion in succession, overturned the bomb shelter and destroyed it, the other nine infantry guns were fortunately saved, but the price paid was that those who did not have time to hide in the bomb shelter suffered more than half of the casualties.
A Kod priest had his arm broken and struggled to escape from the flames, shouting at Beowulf and Natasha with excitement on his face: "Only one cannon was destroyed, everything else is fine!" ”
Beowulf nodded heavily: "Thank you for your hard work, go and get treatment." ”
Natasha held back her tears and stroked the priest's severed arm, and performed a seven-ring "regeneration technique" to renew the severed limb for him.
The couple's personal guards hurried to the bombed positions to rescue the wounded artillerymen as much as possible. Some of them were able to recover after being treated by priests, but some of the warriors were laid to rest forever in the positions where they fought.
Natasha is the highest-ranking priest in Kitland City, and the only person who can perform the resurrection magic, but unfortunately the price of the resurrection magic is too high, and her magic position is too small, how many people can she save with all her might?
"I'm sorry......," she said to her husband, choking up, "I shouldn't have disagreed with you just now, but I have to admit that I would have made the same decision even if I had to do it all over again." ”
The sacrificed artillery can be retrained, in general, there is no shortage of talents in Kitland City, and the cost of training is relatively low, but the cannon worth 10,000 gold is one less to destroy, not to mention that there is no money, even if there is money, it is not possible to buy equipment in a short time.
Beowulf patted his wife on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to argue about such things, our troubles are far from over. ”
Natasha followed his gaze to the sky, and more wyverns flew in this direction. As long as these air threats exist, artillery will not dare to expose the ground, and without artillery support, it will be difficult to dismantle enemy fortresses. What's more, the group of wyverns in the air is a huge threat in itself, as long as there are enough explosion barrels, they can drop bombs over their positions as they want, and if this continues, the morale of the army will collapse sooner or later.
