Chapter 802: Asymmetric Warfare
Chapter 802: Asymmetric Warfare
(I took a day in the car yesterday, and it was night when I got home, and then I forgot to ask for leave on the Internet, so forgive me)
The morale of the Entagri army who launched the general attack was like a rainbow.
Because at the moment before the attack, when the first rays of the dawn had just appeared on the land of Sasio, their Emperor His Majesty, once again dressed in military uniforms and riding a black dragon, appeared in the sky.
In the eyes of the soldiers, it was a picture that they would never forget.
"It was as if I had seen two suns," one soldier said to the others, still moving as he recalled the occasion.
This is an exaggeration, but it also reflects how haunting the images were for the soldiers.
In the newborn morning sun, His Majesty the Emperor appeared in front of them in a gorgeous and mighty armor, and in the sunlight, the special armor looked golden and shining, which was simply difficult to see.
The soldiers watched this scene with bated breath, and their mood was extremely jīdang.
Then the soldiers saw that their Emperor Majesty had made a simple, but rather clear-cut gesture.
He drew his long sword, raised it high, pointed its point straight at the sky, and then, with a heavy fall, pointed it in the direction where the soldiers were about to attack, that is, the enemy's camp.
At the same time, the horn of the offensive was sounded.
The sound of a majestic trumpet pierced the silence of dawn.
The soldiers also boiled, and they cheered feverishly, and the cry of your majesty resounded in the sky of Sasio at this dawn.
Then they cheered and shouted, and launched a full-scale attack on the enemy with great vigour.
This situation made the Lich King Sandru, who commanded the army of the undead and also joined the attack, stunned.
"Pretentious fellow" The Lich King, after recovering his tastes, couldn't help but sour and secretly slandered such a sentence.
However, looking at everything amazing in front of him, Sandru also had to admit that this guy Chen Jian did have a unique way of buying people's hearts.
"It's a terrible guy to be able to boost the morale of the army with just 1ù faces"
Thinking like this, Sandru became more and more worried about the future of the necromancers, and he knew that this scene of his birth was definitely a huge shock to the necromancers under his command who had already begun to have other thoughts.
On the other hand, in the coalition camp, the coalition soldiers who had already been exhausted and demoralized by the air raids of the Ntagrui army were also greatly shocked by the sudden burst of momentum of the Ntagrui army.
Before they could officially take the hand, they were completely overwhelmed by the enemy's momentum.
This made their commander Trosa's face even more ugly.
By now, the generals of this magician have also understood that the defeat of their own side in this battle is an inevitable thing.
But now, he can't think about anything other than fighting.
He regretted his underestimating enemies.
He never imagined that after the enemy had occupied air supremacy, he would be able to form such a fierce air offensive against his own side, and the enemy's tired tactics were also completely unexpected.
He finally understood now why the Ntagari Army was so concerned about the fight for air supremacy.
Trossa knew that after this battle, he would learn a lot of things, but just to learn this kind of thing, the price he paid was a little too great.
Sighing, he hid it in his arms, and could take out the escape scroll he could use at any time, and Trossa strengthened his spirit and began to command the Bracada army to respond to the battle.
Knowing that his side was bound to fail, it didn't mean that Trossa would sit still, on the contrary, he decided to give it a go.
And he decided to take a bold action.
The appearance of Jian Chen undoubtedly seriously stabbed Trosa.
If Jian Chen can be killed on the battlefield, then in this battle, the Bracada army will not lose.
Although he knew that it was unlikely, and although he knew that the chances of success were close to zero, Trosa's heart could not help but have such thoughts.
By killing Jian Chen, he can not only turn defeat into victory in this battle, but even shake the foundation of the Entagri Empire, causing this nascent empire to fall apart because of it.
The idea was so wonderful and full of youhuo that Trossa couldn't refuse such a youhuo.
And the current situation, whether he does it or not, obviously will not get worse, because the current situation is already the worst situation.
If you succeed, the situation will change completely, and if you fail, you will have nothing to lose.
Trossa couldn't think of any reason why he shouldn't give it a try.
Gru naturally agreed with Trosa's plan, but he didn't think it had any chance of success, and it was just a hypothesis.
After the anger, Gru is now thinking about how to preserve the remaining strength in his hands as much as possible in this inevitable battle.
He can't let the elven army in his hand be wiped out in Saseo like this, if this happens, those guys in the elven kingdom who are targeting him will definitely take the opportunity to make a big fuss again, and it will also affect Parson's attitude towards him.
This is not good for his next plans.
And he has put a lot of effort into this elven army, many of his descendants are in this army, and he has initially established his prestige in this army, if he is defeated in this battle, then all the previous efforts will be in vain.
Gru doesn't like to do useless work.
But what can be done to keep the remaining strength in the hand and not further deteriorate? What can we do to retreat with all these remnants of strength in such an unfavorable situation?
Gru was thinking in his mind, observing the enemy's movements over and over again, and then he finally thought of something.
Looking at Trosa's somewhat angry back, an imperceptible smile appeared on Gru's lips.
At this time, the Entagri army and the undead army had launched a fierce attack on the combined forces of the Bracada Kingdom and the Elven Kingdom from both the air and the ground.
Once again, the large-scale air raids of the Entagre Army began, and the flying units of the Entagre Army, which had taken local materials, rained countless stones and mud on the heads of the coalition soldiers, and they used this method to suppress the enemy.
And on the ground, covered by friendly forces in the air, the ground forces of the Entagre Army and the Undead Army were dividing into four directions, rushing towards the enemy's camp like a chaotic flood.
It was only when the ground forces advanced not far from the enemy's camp that the Ntagre's air raids finally stopped, and the ground forces on both sides soon began a full-scale engagement.
The trenches and obstacles outside the coalition camp did not hold back the Ntagrean and Undead armies for long, and due to the staggering number of attackers, the trenches were quickly filled in, and the various obstacles were cleared, and the not-so-high walls on the outskirts of the camp were quickly breached, which were not well defended due to the air raids of the Entagrean army.
But after breaking through the wall, the battle could be regarded as the real beginning, and the Bracada army, under the arrangement of Trosa, had long been ready for ground warfare.
Countless stone men and iron men sprung up all over the coalition camp, and they took solid steps to meet the invaders without hesitation.
It has to be said that the stone man and the iron man, two magical creatures created purely for war, do have extremely powerful combat power, although their movements are a little sluggish, but they have a solid body, ordinary weapons have no effect on them at all, ordinary swords cut at them, except for leaving some shallow traces, can not cause them any substantial damage; At the same time, they are also extremely powerful, which means that they do not need to rely on weapons, just a simple punch and kick is enough to inflict extremely lethal damage on the enemy.
Even ordinary magic can't do much damage to these specially treated magical creatures, and ordinary bows and arrows do only as much damage to them.
The appearance of these magical creatures in large numbers immediately stalled the ground offensive of the Entagri army and the undead army.
This scene made Chen Jian, who had just shown his domineering spirit again, smack his lips.
"How nice would it be if there were so many iron men, all of them were our Entagri Empire?"
Jian Chen was extremely jealous of the iron man manufacturing ability of the Bracada Kingdom.
"It's a shame to ruin it like this"
He sighed, feeling rather sorry for the fate of the magical creatures who dared to stand in the way of the Entagrean army - as a magical creature that had been given an inherent mission at the beginning of its production, the stone and iron men could not be recruited, and there was no way to change their allegiance to the Entagri Empire, so even if they were captured alive, they had no use value other than destroying and then recovering the materials available.
In order not to destroy his glorious image at this time in front of others, of course Jian Chen didn't say this very loudly, except for himself, Aisrena who was also beside him heard it, and even the giant dragon under him didn't show that his majesty was so childish.
In normal times, when she heard Jian Chen's words, Esreina was afraid that she would smile, but at this moment, Esreina had a tight face, and she didn't mean to laugh at all - not only her, but also the royal guards who were guarding nearby and commanded by Vikna herself were all on guard.
The last time they were in Hamendale, they were really impressed, so no one dared to take it lightly this time, even if they were actually far away from the Jiao battle area in front at this time, even after learning the lessons of the last time, this time the guards have been tighter, and multiple early warning and defense measures have been carried out on the periphery.
Although Jian Chen was very concerned about his own safety, even Esreina was so nervous now, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny: "Is it necessary to be so close to the enemy?" Not to mention that Moryl is fully prepared, and if we can still manage to get the enemy here in such a situation, then our army is too incompetent. ”
Hearing this, Esreina couldn't help but glance at him: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, the opponent is the magician of Bracada after all, who knows if they have any special means?" If you want me to say, let's go back a little longer, as long as the soldiers can see you, right? ”
Chen Jianle smiled, but he didn't say anything more, because at this time, his attention was already attracted by the ongoing movements of the Entagrui Army's flying unit.
In a sense, the Entagre Army was engaged in a real air-ground coordinated operation at this time, and under the influence of Chen Jian, although Morriel had just come into contact with this tactic with air supremacy as the core, he had already understood the essence of it.
She was not satisfied with just using air superiority to attack the enemy and cover the actions of ground troops, she also planned to enter the airborne operation.
While attacking from the outside with ground forces and suppressing the attack from the air, she decided to send elite troops from the air to the enemy's hinterland and break through the enemy from the inside.
She had already cleared the internal situation of the enemy's battalion from the air, and she had already demarcated three important nodes in the enemy camp at the beginning of formulating this operational plan, and she believed that as long as she seized these nodes with airborne operations, she would be able to successfully attack the defensive deployment of the enemy camp and greatly speed up the attack on the enemy camp.
And now, what attracted Chen Jian was the first airborne operation launched by the Ntagrui army in order to capture one of the important nodes.
Two hundred giant dragons used their powerful limbs to grasp the special air transport pods of the Ntagri Empire, and appeared in the sky under the protection of some other dragons.
These troop carriers are completely different from the shipping containers that Christine used in the First Battle of Cascade.
After improvement, these troop carriers are made of metal skeletons and wooden shells, which not only greatly reduce their weight, but also increase their volume, even if they are used over long distances, they can carry 30 fully armed soldiers at a time, and when needed, they can temporarily carry 50 soldiers at the same time.
At the same time, these troop transport cabins are also equipped with various protective facilities inside, which allows the soldiers to stay in it still unable to feel comfortable, but also to avoid some serious discomfort and unnecessary accidents to the greatest extent.
With two hundred dragons, there are two hundred troop transport cabins, and theoretically there are 10,000 elite soldiers among them.
But now there are not so many soldiers in these troop carriers, because there are a considerable number of big guys on board.
Bruce clutched a handrail with his left hand, and he had a leather harness attached to the wall of the troop carrier, and he leaned against the wall, trying to keep his balance with both things, since the troop carrier was not built specifically for the big Thor trolls, so he had to stand, and all the original seats in the troop carrier had been removed to make room.
With only a few small ventilation holes and some observation windows, the light in the troop carrier was a little dim, but Bruce could still clearly see the leaping expressions on the faces of the Thor's troll soldiers who were in the same troop transport pod, which made him feel relieved, he knew that his wish for many years had begun to come true, and the Thor's troll clan, with the rise of the Entagri Empire, was gradually getting rid of their old stereotypes, and now, they could walk freely in the sun with other races, and coexist peacefully.
Turning his head, Bruce observed the situation outside through an observation window beside him, and after knowing that the Thor troll warriors would become the main force of the airborne operation, he took the initiative to ask Moriel to command the combat operation after the successful airborne operation, so that he could fight side by side with his own people.
Through some references, Bruce knew that now that he had begun to land, he could clearly hear the sound of the battle coming directly below him.
It was their own flight units that were creating the conditions for their safe landing.
"This group of hún eggs, there is such a means"
Trosa's eyes were red as he watched the actions of the Entagrean army, and he was full of resentment - just now, he hurriedly gathered the only remaining flying troops in his hand, ready to try to slash Chen Jianlai for the last time, but before he could get ready, the flying troops of the Entagrean army suddenly launched a surprise attack on a weakly defended position in his camp under the protection of that strange magical immunity space.
Hundreds of dragons formed a formation and swooped down from the sky, destroying the various defenses on the ground with dragon flames, dispersing the defenders there, and then some archangels and archdemons, with a large group of poisonous scorpion lions and bipedal wyverns, carried out a follow-up sweep, and finally succeeded in occupying a clearing in his camp.
At the same time, in the area around this clearing, the flight units of the Ntagrean Army also launched another air attack to suppress the surrounding coalition soldiers.
Trossa was at first a little puzzled, he didn't understand why the enemy's flying units were grabbing territory in his barracks, but he quickly reacted.
Realizing what was about to happen, Trossa couldn't think of it without anger.
He only realized now that he was still too rigid in traditional ground tactics, and the tactical thinking of the two sides was not at the same level at all, he thought that the enemy would break through from the front, but he did not expect that the enemy also planned to directly attack his hinterland, and to meet with the outside.
Moreover, the Entagre Army did not directly use the flight team units to carry out this work, but brought in ground troops, and then let the flight troops continue to carry out SAO harassment and diversion attacks in the air on all parts of the Bracada Army camp, which allowed them not only to firmly control the air supremacy, but also to suppress all parts of the battlefield from the air at any time, so that their ground troops could advance more smoothly.
Watching the dragons drop one troop pod after another to the ground, and then countless ground troops of the Entagre Army poured out of these troop pods, Trotha suddenly lost his mind.
He didn't know how he was going to continue the fight.
The enemy, who had mastered air supremacy, could attack any part of his camp at will, and could also form a local superiority in forces from time to time, but he, who had not realized this before, followed the traditional ground warfare method and put most of his troops on the periphery of the camp for defense, and only displayed heavy troops at some important nodes inside.
This erroneous arrangement is now making this battalion, which he relied on as his last reliance, become full of leaks in defense.
And the magic advantage of the Bracada army was completely restrained by the other party.
This is already an asymmetric war.
