Chapter 901: Air Raid

At the same moment, the Pope of the Pit Viper, who was in the center of the procession, had the same question in his mind.

From his vantage point, he could see the light and roar of the cannons on the high ground ahead, and at the same time, he could see the crumbling and crumbling walls of Enrique in the distance. When he realized the enemy's attack distance and power, Dai Ze did not hesitate to give the order to blow the trumpet of the charge and start attacking on all fronts!

"Damn, what kind of weapon are they using!?"

Dai Ze, who was riding on horseback, was a little panicked in his heart, because at this time, the team was still about 1,700 meters away from the position of Ivota on the high ground. The effective range of the "fanged chariot" is already very long, but it is only about a thousand meters to die. The opponent's heavy artillery directly shattered the city wall nearly two kilometers away, and in comparison, Dai Ze certainly didn't think that he could escape the attack of this weapon!

Since the cannon can hit Enrique, it can also attack itself. So the only thing he could do now was to speed up and get the enemy to rush to the high ground before he could turn his target to himself!

"Accelerate! Accelerate! Even if you don't have the physical strength to rush there, it's better than being blown up on the road!"

His hands holding the staff were covered in sweat, and his entire face was tense like a mask. The magicians desperately cast the acceleration magic spell on the soldiers, but the movement of nearly 10,000 troops, coupled with the burden of the "fanged chariot", slowed down, and the originally orderly team immediately began to disconnect.

But just as the cavalry began to speed up and prepare to charge forward from the large group, a dense roar came from the sky. Pope Dazzle raised his head and found that two dark shadows in the sky were rapidly flying towards the team, and the other party seemed to have adjusted their course, and the direction of the flight happened to be oncoming.

Dazzle had seen it many times, but he still didn't understand what it was. However, when the huge Albatross transport plane behind them appeared in view, everyone realized that something was wrong.

The falcon streaked overhead, the albatross flew at an altitude of only about a kilometer, it crossed the "battery" position where the Ivta soldiers were, and then as it was about to fly over the heads of the pit viper crusades, it began to throw black objects from the rear engine room...

The Viper Cross infantry at the front of the line looked up at the sky, and watched as the black thing with its tail fell headfirst and smashed straight into the infantry array.

"Boom!"

Dai Ze, who was two hundred meters away, saw the explosion of this bomb with his own eyes - the blue light bloomed, and with the shock wave, a large number of broken limbs were thrown high, everything within a radius of more than thirty meters was completely swallowed by the fire, mushroom-like black smoke rose, and the terrifying shock wave even blew over the knights a hundred meters away.

What is even more terrible is that such blows are continuous.

A total of more than 70 air-dropped bombs were quickly dropped by the mages on the "Albatross", and when Dai Ze saw those black shadows flying towards him in the sky, he immediately jumped off the frightened and out of control of the war horse, and shouted in a lost voice: "Hide!

With the help of divine magic, Dai Ze took every step, and the whole person was as fast as flying on the ground. But there were too few people who could do his thing, and the high-ranking knights of the Saint Army who were protecting him didn't realize the seriousness of the problem, and instinctively turned their horses' heads and moved to the sides, while several elders were squeezed in the line, and when they heard the Pope's warning, they were already a step slower to cast spells...

The flames engulfed everything in an instant.

Each bomb has more than three times the yield of a positional gun, and the bomb is made of solidified wood to save costs, but the tail of the bomb is stuffed with various metal fragments to increase its lethality. Therefore, when the front of the warhead is inserted into the ground and triggers the explosion of the hedron, the debris stored in the tail will cause a wide area of damage in the process of high-speed explosion.

And when a series of bombs fall directly into the dense crowd, each bomb can almost kill dozens or even hundreds of people on the spot!

In the era of cold weapons, it is simply impossible to imagine the horror of air raids and bombardments with hot weapons. At a time when the battle concept of the Pit Viper Cross was still in the stage of "winning by relying on more people", it did not know that this kind of band-like team could almost be called the favorite target of carpet bombing.

More than seventy bombs completely landed in half a minute, and although they did not completely cover the entire Pit Viper Cross troops, they also drowned more than seventy percent of the infantry troops in the sea of fire brought by the release of the hedron energy.

Only the cavalry units on both sides were lucky enough to escape the bombardment, but this blow, which was more terrible than the forbidden curse, had completely lost their morale to fight.

The knights of the Saint Army, who had been shouting slogans loudly, could only try to control the horses that were frightened by the impact and loud noises. In the face of an attack from the sky, these cavalry found themselves with no choice but to be beaten passively.

The enemy is still two kilometers away!

In front of their eyes, the orange-red flames connected into a sea, and the people in the middle of the infantry array had already died on the spot, and the soldiers who had been hit on the edge were not dead, and they were all crawling outward with jumping flames all over their bodies. Some cavalrymen jumped off their horses and tried to drag them out of the fire, but when they got closer, they found that these people had huge wounds on their bodies that had been embedded or penetrated by metal fragments...

The blood that flowed out was charred black from the fire, and they often died of respiratory burns and blood loss within minutes of being dragged out of the area...

And even more terrible accidents are to come.

When Pope Dazzle got up from the ground, the first thing his eyes caught was the "fanged chariots" and gas bombs in the center of the battlefield. And to his horror... The weapons of war that had been painstakingly crafted were now shattered and burned in the impact and flames. And the dark green poison gas also spread with the shattering of the "poison gas bomb"!

When the gas came into contact with the soldiers on both sides, it immediately caused them to wail in pain. The soldiers who were originally operating the "Poison Fang Chariot" began to scratch their cheeks and exposed skin frantically, and pus pockets were almost immediately all over their bodies, and then the throats of these soldiers were completely dumb due to the inhalation of poisonous gas, and when they fell silently, their faces were already covered with pus and blood, and their deaths were extremely miserable...

"Get out of that area!"

Dai Ze shouted desperately, but at this moment he realized that his personal guards had disappeared in the explosion because they couldn't dodge. And looking around, there was only a huge pit left where he had just stood, and the ground that radiated was full of charred black severed limbs and stumps, and those elders seemed to be gone, and it was estimated that there was not even a complete corpse left...

The top combat power in the sect, how can you say that it is gone?

Dai Ze's ears were full of the hum of the explosion, and not far in front of him, the poisonous gas had spread... Some of the knights who wanted to help the wounded were shrouded in the poisonous fog, and then fled into the distance screaming, which caused a great panic among the cavalrymen who were hesitating in place, and people turned around and began to run back in order to avoid the poisonous fog.

Soon, the morale of the cavalry began to collapse on a large scale, and Dai Ze alone was powerless to stop the cavalry from escaping. He could only raise the scepter in his hand, use his magic to heal the wounded soldiers beside him, and pull up the magicians who had not yet been burned to death, and try to release the "Holy Force Field" to block the poisonous mist that was about to spread.

If it weren't for the fact that the bomb-carrying capacity of the "Albatross" transport plane was not strong enough, this round of bombing could basically wipe out the Pit Viper Cross. But the more than 70 bombs failed to "take care" of all the soldiers after all, and the 40 meters behind Pope Dazzle was the detonation point of the last bomb, and more than 2,000 people behind were not attacked. But at this time, he has been frightened and belongs to a state of collapse at any time.

Under such circumstances, Dai Ze immediately made a decision - he took the dozen or so bishops gathered together, and after isolating the poisonous fog in front of him, he directly called the surviving soldiers to retreat, and used the "Levitation Technique" and the "Holy Light Technique" to attract the attention of the panicked soldiers, and stabilized the morale of the soldiers loudly through the "Amplification Technique", and immediately asked the soldiers to change from the rear team to the front team and evacuate in an orderly manner towards the distance.

The series of orders was not complicated, but when Dazzle gave all the orders, he looked back at the battlefield ahead... The isolated poisonous gas has completely enveloped the soldiers who were still struggling, and the more than 6,000 infantry in front of them have been covered by the spreading poisonous gas after being bombed, and there is no reason to survive - no matter how shocking the slogans they once shouted, a cruel fact is laid out in front of them.

The main force of six thousand completely disappeared in five minutes.

Nearly half of the 13,000 Pit Viper Cross troops died directly, and this kind of battle loss ratio is unbearable for any army.

Dai Ze, who gritted his teeth, withdrew from the battlefield on foot, and the existence of the poisonous fog made them unable to even "collect the corpse", and this humiliating sense of defeat made everyone's hearts heavy and abnormal.

But the war was like that, and he now had no other way but to retreat and preserve his living forces.
