Chapter 913: Air Raid!
The headquarters on the top of the hill set up its tent again after some cleaning, and put back all the equipment that it had taken with it when it was transferred in, and it wasn't long before the headquarters was open again.
Charles was still standing on the top of the mountain, looking south with a telescope in hand, and he was thrilled by the sight in front of him.
The least injured was indeed a dozen or so dragons who were treated at the sub-base in Liaoxington, and then formed a large formation and flew towards the east.
Two kilometers behind the dragon, a box formation of one hundred single eight hurricane dragoons followed.
Below the Hurricane Wyvern, there were more than two hundred griffon knights densely surrounded.
Not only Charles, but also those viewers with military experience watched their hearts beat faster one by one, and their breathing suddenly became heavy.
This is an air power rarely seen in the history of mankind, even during the war with the demons.
Mifflin tilted his head, and he saw several groups of griffon knights breaking away from most of them and flying towards his east, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Just now, the red dragon of the Ru army sprayed dragon breath at the logistics base in the valley not to destroy them, but to use the smoke to show the way for the griffin knights at this moment.
Although the fires in these bases have been extinguished, the green smoke that is still rising is a beacon of light for the knights in the sky.
Charles didn't think about destroying the enemy troops in those camps in the first place, but set his sights on the enemy's logistics.
On a hill not far south of a grain base, a group of four griffon knights landed safely.
They quickly unloaded the Charles Organ launcher and ammunition from the griffon's back, and one of them set up a rangefinder and spirit level to measure distance and elevation differences.
A group of soldiers stationed in the grain base had just rushed out of the gate of the base, when a burst of dust suddenly rose from the hill there, and a series of black dots smashed headlong into the base at a speed faster than the sound from far to near.
The base was suddenly in flames, and the griffin knights over there calmly put away their launchers and returned to the base to prepare for the next round of battle.
In a spectator box, King Antoine II of Bischberg sighed, he could already foresee the head of his griffon knights in his office tomorrow morning and ask for the purchase of the "Charles Organ".
So he didn't watch the game, got up immediately, and went to the hot spring palace in Satnia City overnight to take a vacation.
Although the weather is starting to get hot at the end of June, does the king care about this little thing if he wants to soak in the hot springs?
Also running away was Auston I of the Kingdom of Ryrik, who scolded Charles for being troublesome while getting dressed.
He had already seen those "Charles consciences" on the back of the Hurricane Wyvern.
Unbeknownst to him, Charles had scared off the two kings with his rudimentary air force tactics, and he was holding up his binoculars to watch an encounter in the distant sky.
The Griffin Knights, who had gone to Mifflin's aid, collided head-on with the Dragons, who had cleared the way.
The dragons scattered, and swooped down on the griffin knights.
The dragons that broke into the griffins cleaned up the enemies in front of them like they were chopping melons and vegetables in the kitchen, easier than beating children.
Don't look at the griffin knights who are five times as numerous as the dragons, they lose half of their strength in a turn.
All they can do now is to descend as fast as they can, burrow into the mountain forest, so that there is still a chance of survival.
The dragons were not in love with fighting, and dispersed the group of griffon knights and continued to fly forward.
If this team of griffin knights wanted to intercept the team in the rear, there were still nearly a hundred griffon knights in the "air superiority" configuration waiting for them.
Crossing the central mountain range, the Ru Army's air strike group stepped into the enemy's core control area.
From above, the woods are full of wooden villages built from local materials, each of which has considerable defensive power is a resource point and a defense node of the entire defense system.
The white dragons of the Ru army scattered in all directions, and each chose a stockade to pounce.
Just as the white dragons were about to vomit the dragon's breath, the bed crossbows and muskets in the stockade fired at the same time.
The White Dragon, known for its defense, took a few hits, but did not suffer substantial damage, and successfully tested the effective range of anti-aircraft fire in these strongholds.
A group of griffon knights left the group and began to dive, carrying a man-sized barrel on their backs, making it a little difficult for the griffons to fly.
The griffon knights rushed to the top of a stockade, but instead of continuing to do so, they climbed vertically.
Just as the griffon's path of climb was nearly vertical, the griffon rider pulled the rope off his body, and the barrel behind him fell straight down.
This scene made Diana look a question mark, what kind of operation is this? But when I think about it, these griffons are not specialized bombers, and they can only reduce the error caused by inertia in this way.
Three of the four barrels filled with "Charles's conscience" fell into the stockade, and one smashed against the wooden wall on the ground outside.
Four huge flames exploded inside and outside the stockade in an instant, and the tyrannical shock wave blew the miners, vehicles, and camp buildings into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, a red dragon rushed down and completely destroyed the stockade while the enemy was blown up.
It was just a combat test, and the finished Griffin Knights and Red Dragons returned to their main forces and continued to fly towards the enemy city to the east.
Compared to the Ru army, which built several sub-bases in one go, Francis concentrated his construction forces on the main city.
He built four rings of walls around the castle, which were protected by several small fortresses in the distance and guarded by a fortress on the nearby high ground.
The city's second ring road is the main production area, where barracks, horse sheds, vehicle depots and other buildings are concentrated.
If you want to attack from land, you must first break through the defenses outside the city, and then break through the fourth and third rings built for defensive purposes, so that you can attack the production area.
Francis panicked, and he hurriedly sent out hundreds of griffin knights who were still in the city to try to intercept the bombardment brigade of the Ru army.
But to no avail, the dragons of the Ru army pounced again, and instantly messed up their formation.
The griffin knights of the "air superior" also rushed over, and they formed a team of twos and twos, taking advantage of the dragon to disrupt the enemy, forming an advantage of fighting more and less, and flying to the white dragon for treatment when they were wounded.
The air combat forces of the Ru army blocked Francis's fight in the distance of the bombing formation, preventing them from crossing their own lines for half a step.
Hurricane Wyverns, who were unable to fly fast because they had carried too many things, finally flew over the city without any danger, carrying buckets of "Charles's conscience" on their backs in addition to knights.
Guessing that the position was OK, the leading knight tore off the knots around him with all his might, and at the same time, the hurricane wyvern turned sideways, and those "Charles consciences" all fell to the bone.
The "bucket of conscience" that raindrops generally fall is not accurate, and it does not need to be accurate.
Most of the nearly 1,000 barrels of "conscience" fell into the production area, and the rest fell into the third ring road, and the city suddenly burst into the sound of fires and explosions, and thick smoke and debris soared into the sky.
As soon as the explosion ended, the bombardment griffin riders flew over.
Their target is not the production area, but the vehicles and engineering equipment parked in the third and fourth rings.
Under the bombardment of their more precise teams, rows of vans and trucks heading to the front line were blown to pieces, and some buildings that looked like warehouses were taken care of.
The whole bombing lasted for about ten minutes, and the originally neat buildings in the Second Ring Road had been turned into smoke-filled ruins, and there was no way to recover them.
In the 3rd and 4th Ring Roads, vehicles preparing to reinforce the front line were blown up in half.
Francis stood by the window, looking gloomily at the departing Rujun Air Force.
"Count the losses now!" he said in a deep voice, "Looks like we're going to have to change our strategy." ”
However, the Ru army did not give them time to change their tactics.
It was just noon, and the losses had not yet been counted, and the second round of air raids had arrived, only this time only the Blue Dragon and the Hurricane Wyvern, which had seized air supremacy.
This time, it was not "Charles's conscience" that was thrown from the back of the Hurricane Wyvern, but rockets thrown as bombs.
Although these rockets are more expensive than the "conscience", they are more powerful individually and can carry more at one time.
Soon, another production area in the city turned into a sea of fire.
Meanwhile, the griffon knights of the Ru army are soaring under the blue sky around them, bombarding Francis's resource points in the woods.
In addition to the bombardment, griffons sent a detachment of heavily armed Ru troops into the woods to the east, and these secret service teams behind enemy lines disappeared into the forest as if they had never been.
"We can't go on like this!" Francis punched the edge of the sandbox, "Call in the strategic reserves, summon the dragons, and at least keep the city safe." ”
"At the same time, he ordered Kopa and Mifflin to intensify their feints, and it was up to them to buy time here. ”
"All the soldiers and equipment in the city were evacuated to the nearby woods to camouflage the air defense. ”
The dragon was also hidden in the woods for the time being, waiting for the next time they came to ambush them. ”
"Inform the assault corps that the additional forces will arrive in the evening, and let them continue to be covert and on standby. ”
Orders were issued, and Francis's side began to work again.
