In the middle of summer in August, when the sun rose and shone the first rays of sunlight on the wilderness outside the St. Bruno Pass, two huge armies had already set out of their camps and set foot on the battlefield for a decisive battle!

The first to engage in the confrontation were the light cavalry of both sides, in order to cover the main force of their own army calmly lined up, and harassed the main force of the enemy to form a formation, they were already strangled in one place not long after dawn! Charlie's light cavalry had a huge numerical advantage, while the light cavalry of the non-subordinate were all composed of blood cloud iron cavalry, and also had a strong equipment advantage, so in this outpost battle, no side could achieve an overwhelming advantage, but left a lot of corpses and blood on the battlefield first......

At seven o'clock in the morning, the main forces of both sides had already hastily eaten the war meal, and drove out from the city gate and the camp in the large brigade, forming a huge battle formation behind their own light cavalry, but compared to the grounded, as if there was no end in sight of the Western Empire army, the size of the military formation of the unsubordinate appeared to be very cold, and the comparison between the two sides was like a muscular adult and a stinky child!

It took a total of two hours for the army of the Western Empire to complete the formation, while it took less than half an hour for the army of the non-subordinate to complete the formation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

By the time the war actually began, it was close to noon.

The first to advance was the battle formation of the Western Empire, and in order to be able to smash the Forbidden Spell of the Forbidden Spell on the heads of the Buchen army, they had to get close to within a distance of five miles!

Smoke and dust rose into the air, footsteps shook the sky, the collision of the armor leaves and the reflection of the blades were even more chilling, in the face of the Western Empire army advancing violently, the 120,000 troops of Buchen were like a lonely boat in a storm, looking small and fragile!

It's just that in the army, from the emperor to the ordinary soldiers, they are all fearless, just looking at the approaching enemy coldly, as if they are looking at the dead!

"It's almost the distance!" Buchen put down his glasses and said to Wang Ergen, who was standing behind him.

As the de facto supreme commander of the non-subordinate side in this decisive battle, Admiral Wang Ergen is naturally the one who really has the right to give the order to attack!

Wang Ergen held up the binoculars and looked at it for a moment before nodding: "Your Majesty, is the target of the first round of bombardment really going to let go of the enemy's war mage legion?" ”

Buchen smiled faintly: "Ergen, you are the supreme commander, just make your own decisions on such questions, don't ask me what I mean." ”

"No!" Wang Ergen responded gratefully, and immediately sent an attack order to the artillery position with the terminal.

At this time, on the artillery position, the canvas on the three rows of a total of thirty huge weapons has been torn off, revealing the true face of these secret weapons, they are all strange-looking big guys, with a height of nearly five meters, but the surface is like a hornet's nest, composed of a pile of densely arranged steel pipes, these steel pipes have a thin inner wall, and they are filled with a huge large iron rocket with three tail wings!

That's right, this is the otherworldly version of the Katyusha rocket artillery! After watching the test launch of the Congreve rocket, Buchen was deeply impressed by the huge lethality of this thing, and instructed the Imperial Arsenal to set up a project to carry out the development of large-scale rocket artillery, although the research work of this weapon once came to a standstill because of the poor technology of the bump fuse and the difficulty of reloading, but with the support of the black data that spared no effort, it was successfully researched last year and became a major secret weapon of the Imperial Army!

This time, in order to be able to win in this battle for world hegemony, Buchen brought all the rocket artillery in the arsenal's inventory to the decisive battlefield at one time!

"Let's fire!"

After receiving the order, the commander of the artillery unit did not hesitate to give orders to his subordinates.

The artillerymen immediately handed the torches in their hands to the lead harness under the rocket artillery!

The so-called lead harness is to gather all the leads of a rocket artillery together, twisted into a fuse of a rope, as long as it is ignited, all rockets in the rocket artillery will enter the launch countdown!

The shooting of Zhu Yuan had already been calculated with the terminal, and after the lead was submerged into the medicine room of the rockets, a scene like a volcanic eruption appeared!

Countless dazzling flames erupted from the bottom of the rocket artillery, and then the rockets flew out along the slanted launch tubes, dragging a long tail flame, like a cloud of fire burning across the sky, and after a few seconds of flight, they dived down the parabola, and finally plunged into the approaching Western Imperial army formation, and exploded the moment they touched the ground or the human body!

"Boom !!"

Like the god of fire descending into the world, it is like the end of the world! A large amount of high-powered explosives filled in the rocket warhead exploded in an instant, swallowing everything near the explosion point into the sea of hellfire, shrapnel flew sideways, shock waves flew in all directions, and the stump fragments of countless people and magic guide cannons were thrown high into the air, mixed with overwhelming blood rain before slowly falling after a few seconds!

Rocket artillery may not be able to do precision strikes, but it is best to use it for range-covered firepower, under the bombardment of a large number of rocket artillery, everything in the targeted area will be destroyed, and it will not be spared, in this regard, rocket artillery is obviously more suitable for dealing with dense combat formations than traditional artillery!

"Congratulations to the Emperor, our predetermined tactical goal seems to have been accomplished!" Wang Ergen held up the binoculars to check the results of the battle, and said hello to Buchen with a smile on his face.

"Hmm." Buchen nodded slightly, "Then Charlie will have no cannon to use!" ”

The battle plan of the Imperial army is very clear and clear in terms of organization, and it is clear which weapons of the enemy are the greatest threat to themselves! Compared to the various forbidden spells that take time to chant, it is clear that the threat of magic cannons and smoothbore cannons is higher!

Needless to say, the accuracy and lethality of the former can also cause a lot of damage to personnel once the latter enters the effective range, so it is better to let go of the enemy's War Mage Legion in the first round of attacks than to destroy the enemy's various cannons!

At this moment, in the main formation of the Western Imperial Army, Charlie Andris's face was already extremely pale.

"No wonder you dare to come and send a war letter to me, it turns out that there is such a destructive weapon hidden!"

As he spoke, Charlie clenched his fists tightly, and his instinct told him that today's decisive battle might not be as smooth sailing as expected!

"That big rocket is too huge, it must take a long time to launch each one, and the first round of rocket rain that the enemy just now fell all on our artillery array, it seems that they think that our artillery is more threatening than the War Mage Regiment." Shangguan Zhige pondered for a moment and analyzed, his face was also ugly.

Charlie nodded, and a sneer appeared on his face: "If that kid Henry really thinks so, then he is very wrong, my War Mage Legion is not a War Mage Legion in the conventional sense!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to DeWitt Eggberg, the Duke of the Western Empire and the commander-in-chief of the War Mage Legion, who had led six war mage legions into a range of five miles from the enemy!

"Eggberg, I'm looking forward to your performance!"

……

"Tell Blaise that as long as he can protect my mage legion and rush within a kilometer of the enemy, I will be able to make up for the loss of artillery fire!" DeWitt pulled the herald by the neck and yelled, the rocket rain just now was not very far from where he was, and the loud noise from the explosion had a big impact on his hearing, so he was talking completely with a roar now!

In front of the War Mage Legion there are several layers of hoplite arrays, and the commander of the army is Buck Blaze, one of Charlie's veteran generals, if the War Mage Legion wants to play with firepower, it must rely on Blaize's infantry to protect them to advance to an effective attack range!

Knowing De Witt's words, General Blaize, who was at the forefront of the entire battle line at this time, pouted: "This villain doesn't plan to honestly recite the forbidden spell again!" ”

"General, what should we do?" Blaise's adjutant asked with a worried face, the intensity of the firepower of the Buchen army is well known to the world, escorting the war mage corps to advance to a distance of one kilometer is equivalent to saying that it is going to be in close contact with the Chinese army, this is not a joke!

"Afraid of what?!" General Blaise was undaunted, "They have muskets, so we don't have crossbows?!" None of my soldiers are weak, they are all elites selected from the countries of the Western Continent, everyone is a fighting warrior, can use a strong crossbow of more than six stones, if you shoot at each other, it is still unknown who will kill the deer! ”

"That's true, but what about artillery? General, have you considered the enemy's artillery? It is said that their artillery is equipped to the regimental level! The adjutant said profusely, he was not afraid of shooting at the enemy, but he was not happy to advance under artillery fire.

"Artillery?!" General Blaise pursed his lips, "How can there be immortals in war?" If you want to win the final victory, you have to pay the price! Let us use firm and fearless advancement to tell these little cubs who have only bullied the rabble in the Eastern Continent who is the strongest army in the world! ”
