Chapter 120: Air Combat

The elven air knight Andre is driving his mount Graybeard hovering in the sky, and beside and behind him, are the air knights of the first wing of the knights, owls, foxes, horned eagles, and other light air horses scattered at different heights around them, and the sky above different echelons faintly seems to open a big sphere, and the heavy air horses such as thunder eagles and griffins in the wing are surrounded in the middle. The entire formation, spread out widely, is arranged in the standard air control formation of the air knight tactics.

In the previous battle of the elven sky knights, the first wing was the main force, and they played with momentum and feats in the battle of annihilation, and were personally encouraged by the queen and the high priest in turn. The winged air scouts of the leopard people were completely annihilated by them.

Compared with the orcs who only have a single class of winged scouts, the air knight combat structure that the elves have learned from humans in the past few hundred years is more scientific and reasonable.

The Wing Commander of the First Wing looked at his subordinates, satisfied with the performance of this group of young novices who had just stepped onto the battlefield, and was proud that he had been able to train such a unit in just a few years.

The Elven Sky Knights weren't actually afraid to fight, even if their comrades had just suffered a big loss in the previous series of skirmishes.

The air knight unit of the Elven Knights of the Sword of Hao Dixiu is supplemented by small aerial riding beasts such as owl-eye eagles and fox owls, with heavy aerial riding beasts such as thunder eagles and griffons imported from humans as the main combat power, coupled with the air-to-ground bombing combat capabilities provided by the super heavy evolved Warcraft Chimera that the elves in the southern swamp area have evolved through special magic research, and combine them to form a comprehensive combat effectiveness. It has already preliminarily adopted the concept of a modern air force in the Gaia world.

Since the rise of the human empire's air force a hundred years ago, this modern air force establishment that has been proven to be powerful has quickly become popular throughout the continent, and only the wasteland orcs who live in the corner of the continent will still cling to their traditions.

In fact, the Elves completed the modernization process of the Knights' Air Force in the Northern Expedition this time, which led to a great increase in the overall strength of the Elves, which was the main combat power that the Elders. With the air force, the elves have the ability to take the initiative to attack, instead of only cowering behind the battle line to defend as before.

But the core of the entire air force, the terrifying and formidable Chimera Wing is obviously not so easy to dispatch, and they are not needed in air combat, which is the tip of the hearts of all the elven magnates in the entire royal court, even if the head of the knight order wants to move, he must also get the consent of the council elders. When the first wing fought on its own, it mainly focused on the combat ability of seizing air supremacy with light and heavy air horses.

But even so, compared to their opponents, the combat effectiveness of all the winged air forces in a leopard tribe, the combat effectiveness of the knights is already too strong, and there are more than a thousand people in the entire knight order, including various types of air knights, and there are only a few dozen winged people, which can be described as a huge disparity. Now the air knights in the Knights have just bullied the enemy in the previous battle, and they are looking forward to meeting with the entire Winged Terran army heading south after they can fully mobilize with the orcs, and try their skills again. Now, at last, they have encountered the orc-formed air force, which can engage the enemy on a large scale again, and the elven air knights of the first wing do not have the slightest sense of timidity.

Not! A series of long horn sounds, sounding in the sky, are horns made by the horns of the horned eagle beasts, which are used by the air knights to transmit signals in the air over long distances.

The communications officer next to the Wing Captain approached with the Riding Beast and reported to the Wing Commander,

"Report to the Wing Captain! A small squadron of the 3rd Squadron of the 3rd Light Cavalry Brigade of the Forward found the enemy's situation, which should be a scale in the northeast direction. ”

The Wing Commander waved his hand from his mount, signaling that he had heard the communications officer's report.

For the communication and communication of the air knights in long-distance battles in time and space, even in the field of human modern air force development, it is still a difficult subject to solve, and the winged air force of the orcs can have a special language of Taruman, which is the natural ability of people, but it is not so easy for humans and elves to use the air knights who ride beasts.

In order to solve the problem of air combat is often several kilometers, tens of kilometers of air communication distance, the elves created the first set of combat communication language in the history of the elves characterized by sound length and rhythm, although it is not yet a code, but its characteristics are very similar to the Morse code on the earth in another world. It can be expressed by means of a horn.

Due to the addition of this new method, as well as the complexity and difficulty of this new method of transmitting signals, it also gave birth to the communication officer among the elven sky knights, such a new auxiliary combat class.

As the information from his subordinates from all sides continued to gather to the Wing Commander, the general situation of the enemy gradually emerged in the Wing Commander's chest.

The winged air forces were divided into two groups, one of which was slightly orderly, the other was disorganized, and on one side of the forest line, about ten kilometers away, two groups had formed, preparing to engage their own side.

At this moment in the battle, everyone knows that the other party has the heart of a decisive battle, whether it is an elf or a winged man, at this moment, the determination to destroy the enemy in a big way is so strong.

The Wing Captain put his hands forward and made a complex gesture on his chest, and then the communications officer nodded, indicating that he had read the Wing Captain's order clearly, and he picked up the horn that hung around his neck on his chest, and then, woo woo, several horns of different lengths spread far away.

The troops in front, the first light cavalry brigade of the first wing, the second light cavalry brigade, and the fourth heavy cavalry brigade in the middle, all units moved according to the sound, and the captains of each squad shouted hoarsely in the air, cooperating with gestures, and commanded the air knights under their command to gather with the commanders of each unit as the core to form an air combat formation. The air knights drove the horse beast to stand up, and then the wings of the horse beast under the crotch spread out and glided down from the sky, and hundreds of air knights gathered, lined up in formation, and flew towards the northeast direction indicated in the order.

On the opposite side of them, the wingmen also turned around, forming two dense aerial combat groups, one on the left and one on the right, towards the enemy.

In the forests of the west coast, the high-ranking of the elves knew about this scene, and a large group of elders, the queen, accompanied by Gianna, the deputy head of the knights, also climbed the high canopy to observe the battle from afar.

And the orc side is the same, and the ministers and elders who are in place from afar are also paying attention to this sky. There are also countless orcs, silently praying in their hearts, only hoping that this time the heroic winged people will not be deceived by the cunning elves again, so that countless people of the same race on the ground will have nothing to do in the situation of watching, and the blood will be sprinkled all over the sky.
