Chapter 153: The Power of Artillery
In order to ensure the realization of the bold plan proposed by the Duke of Ham, the heralds rode birds and shouted over the army under the fierce sun.
Healthy. General Dean ran into the mage camp and drove the mages who were enjoying the cold air out of the tent. General Dean, threatening them:
"Keep up, we must not let the other party's magic hit our heroic warriors, otherwise, what is the use of our Seven Kingdoms raising you!"
"General! We are all noble mages, we know what to do, don't worry, we have probed, there are not many mages on the enemy over there, and that bit of fog wants to hide our perception, which is simply hilarious. ”
The leader of the mages, a respected red-robed mage, said with a smile as he held a staff with two rubies.
"Really?" Healthy. When General Dean heard this, he couldn't help but calm down a little.
If the other party doesn't even have much of the important combat power of the mage, or...... Could that Duke's tactics really be successful?
"Yes." The red-robed mage nodded slightly, and then said, "Don't worry, General, we will definitely win." ”
On the flat ground, the 100,000 ironclad pikemen dispatched by the Seven Nations Alliance Army silently raised their 5-meter-long iron spears, like steel walls, and slowly pressed forward.
This is the elite pikemen that can be drawn from the Seven Kingdoms, they have excellent armor and weapons, and have strong combat effectiveness, even if they are legendary warriors, if they are trapped, they will feel extremely hot, and in the air, they will become the target of magicians, and on the ground, facing the thrust of those spears, it will not be a pleasant thing.
On both sides of the camp, the Iron Cavalry and the Knights of the Seven Kingdoms were arranged on one side, and after they were fully equipped, they raised their spears and prepared for a surprise attack.
"Surprise them before you get ready to attack." Duke Ham said with a smile.
"Of course, as you wish." The golden-armored knight bowed slowly, and then rode up to the red-robed mage: "In the name of Duke Ham, I hope you can cast a large magic spell to demoralize the other party. ”
"Now?" The red-robed mage frowned and nodded, "Yes, but it will cost us a lot of mana. ”
"If you're right, then that's not a problem." The Golden Armor Knight's Road.
"Hmph, I can't be wrong with my investigation." The red-robed mage said, "They won't have more than 20 magicians, but we have a full 300 of them!" ”
"Then, use your best magic to destroy each other."
The red-robed mage nodded, and together with his colleagues, formed a magic circle.
In the sky, flames were born, and a firebird, let out a phoenix chirp, flapped its wings, and flew towards the emperor's [***] camp.
"Wow~~!" A firebird flew out, and immediately after, dozens of firebirds formed at a faster speed and rushed over.
"Is this the Firebird Technique of the Red-robed Sloka? Spectacular, gorgeous. The Duke of Ham exclaimed.
"My lord, it's because it's here." The golden-armored knight said with a smile: "If it is placed in his hometown, the capital of hot springs, he can even rely on the power of one person to summon a hundred firebirds to burn the other party." ”
The firebirds rushed to the camp, and the few magicians in the camp hurriedly used the magic barrier to block the terrible magic.
Rumble!
As the firebirds exploded, the magic cover shattered.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, a fighting spirit flew out of the camp, collided with the firebird, and annihilated each other.
"Good!" Seeing the magic cover shattered, Duke Ham laughed loudly: "Send troops!" Offensive! ”
"Attack!"
The pikemen marched in unison and began to move forward.
At the same moment, in order to complete the magnificence and perfection in the mouth of Duke Ham, the steppe barbarian iron cavalry and the knights of the Seven Kingdoms also launched a charge.
"Wow!"
Inside a King Leopard tank, looking at the image coming from the screen, the tank soldier from Earth spit out a cigar cigarette.
"These barbarians, they really dare to play, they actually charge with such a dense formation."
Target Lock ......
"End of lockdown."
"Leopard 222 has completed its preparations and is waiting for your orders."
The tank soldier is from the Rakshasa country, a bold man from the north, and he laughs and presses the attack button.
In siege mode, 10 squads and a total of 120 King Leopard tanks fire in unison.
Suddenly, the flames soared into the sky, and the sound was like thunder.
Rumble! Boom!
The advancing soldiers had never encountered such a situation, the sound of explosions sounded directly in their military formations, and every inch of the battlefield seemed to be swept by the shock wave at this moment, infected by the blazing air.
"Oh my God." The red-robed mage gritted his silver teeth.
The mages behind him also looked at this scene stupidly.
"How is that possible...... mages inhaled in low voices.
In just one second, at least tens of thousands of pikemen were destroyed by artillery, and the flesh and bones were covered all over the ground.
"It's impossible, even if it's a magic cannon, there will be a magical aura overflowing, but...... The other party doesn't have any magic aura at all. ”
The red-robed mage shouted loudly, generally, if the opponent used such a large magic attack, there would be enough harbingers to allow them to have time to cast magic to resist.
Today, however, the explosions came too suddenly, too unexpectedly.
"Could it be that the other party has researched a spell to conceal the aura of magic?" The red-robed mage roared in a low voice.
At this moment, the volley of tanks diverted to the direction of the knights of the Seven Kingdoms.
These knights on the steel-armored horses were still cheering when they were blown into fools by an explosion.
The siege guns of the King Leopard Tank are all attack level +3 cannons, which are powerful enough to tear most of these knights to shreds.
Even if they were lucky, some knights above the emperor level, dodging the direct hit of the cannon, were also injured by the splash, and it was difficult to continue the fight.
"Retreat, my lord." Healthy. General Dean hurriedly proposed.
"Nope! How so, mages? Cast your magic to protect the Iron Cavalry! ”
The order has just been given.
But it was a step too late.
The Leopard King tanks, which had only an interval of one second between attacks, burst into flames again and smashed into the bodies of those iron cavalrymen.
The red-robed mage raised his staff, but froze with his men.
"What else can we protect?"
Indeed, the Iron Cavalry, after this round of explosions, was almost completely wiped out because of their dense formation!
They formed three triangular formations with more than 2,000 cavalry, and this explosion, which came from their military formation, almost at the same time, left them all lying on the ground.
Even if there were lucky people who didn't die on the spot, the horrific wounds that were cut open, and the heat in the air that could melt steel, were enough to slowly kill these people.
"Really...... It's miserable. The red-robed mages shook their heads, intending to spread their magical protection to others, such as the Knights of the Seven Kingdoms.
However, the attack output speed of the Leopard King tanks is too fast, too fast!
So much so that these mages sadly found that the spell casting speed of themselves and others was not comparable to that of the other party at all! I can't catch up with each other.
They...... You can only rely on luck to cast a magic shield in advance to block the attacks of the parabola-like ancient monsters.
Well, knowing that the opponent's attack pattern is similar to that of the magic cannon, and that is also a parabola, is the only thing the mages know about in the next nightmarish minute.
"What's the matter, those mages, why are they so incompetent! Stupidity! Idiot! The Duke of Ham fell into a frenzy: "What are they doing?" Didn't you see that my soldiers were about to collapse from those damn bombs! ”
"My lord, they've collapsed." Healthy. General Dean said sarcastically.
But this is also true, the knights of the Seven Kingdoms 20 seconds ago, after enjoying the fifth baptism of fire, freely threw away their shields and spears, and fled.
The pikemen, although they had not yet begun to collapse, had already dispersed their formations, and more than half of them were killed or wounded, and it was only a matter of time before they collapsed.
"General, is there anything you can do?" Duke Ham stared at the general grimly and whispered.
"Retreat." Healthy. General Dean said.
"My lord, let's retreat first, it's not a way to go on like this." The Knight of the Golden Armor also made a suggestion.
"Okay." Duke Ham nodded slightly.
When the horn of retreat sounded, the pikemen, after a slight shock, turned and fled in unison, completely oblivious to the defense of the rear.
They gave their backs to the enemy.
Naturally, the commander in the barracks would not let go of this opportunity, and the army came out.
These new armies of Essia, made up of civilians from Yanjing and other towns, led by a section of the Chosen One, rushed towards the enemy.
"Kill them! Hahaha! The old bear swung his axe and tore apart several pikemen in front of him.
As the purifier of the Divine Purification, such a battle made his whole body can't help but get excited.
"Boom! Rumble!! ”
In the rear, the Leopard King tanks shoot according to the locked coordinates, and they are not worried about accidentally injuring their teammates.
"Oh my God." Looking at the carnage in front of him, Duke Ham screamed, "Kang. General Dean, look at what a mistake and what a tragedy your order has caused? Vomit! Goddess, I can't bear to look at it anymore, quick, escort me back! ”
"I'm going to meet the king and tell him what kind of general he has appointed!"
The knight in gold armor looked at Kang sympathetically. General De'an gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, my lord." ”
"Hehe, what a bunch of ...... What a nobleman! "Kang. General De'an held the hilt of his sword and smiled bitterly: "However, the discipline of these new troops is really beyond my expectations, it seems that this battle is lost!" ”
He looked at the place where those mages were: "Although those mages spend a lot of mana, there are not many mages on the other side, so it shouldn't be able to stop them from escaping." ”
"What?" Healthy. General De'an was about to give an order, but suddenly found that with the appearance of a piercing light, the area where those mages were located turned into a scorched earth!
"It's!" The general looked up, dumbfounded.
"Whew!" A sky-blue holy dragon, with more than a dozen golden dragons, tore through the space and appeared in the sky above the camp, they spit out dragon breath, and in an instant, those mages who were caught off guard were burned to ashes.
The only remaining red-robed mage was about to fly out of the camp, but was caught up by the holy dragon, and with a press of the dragon's claws, it was knocked away, and then with a dragon's roar, the dragon's breath was destroyed. Suddenly, the red-robed mage also screamed miserably, and disappeared...... "It's the Holy Dragon!" ”
"Sure enough, it's the Holy Dragon!"
With the appearance of the Holy Dragon, the morale and military spirit of the Seven Kingdoms were completely shaken, and the entire battlefield, from then on, was completely dominated by the emperor [***].
