Chapter 141: The Final Battle (4)
No matter how distressed and sentimental the generals of the Candela Empire and the Maro Empire were, they must also admit one fact.
That is, in the face of the powerful military magic machinery of the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, the most powerful and precious heavy cavalry in their hearts is at most a relatively high-level cannon fodder in the face of the artillery attack of the Luxin coalition army.
Yes, the word cannon fodder is still passed from the Luxin coalition army, and it is said that it is a new term that appeared because of the appearance of magic artillery, which describes that it can only be turned into fly ash under the attack of magic artillery.
Of course, as Marshal Sudirman said, these knights were only sent to be cannon fodder, but they were not meaningless.
Although it seems that the Luxin coalition army will have no trouble destroying these heavy cavalry and light cavalry legions, in fact, the Luxin coalition army has already consumed a lot of ammunition.
For the Luxin coalition, it is true that they can easily crush the Candela Empire on the frontal battlefield, but this is all based on having sufficient supplies.
Any kind of military magic machine needs a matching ammunition to exert great power, and if there is no ammunition, it is just a pile of empty and useless steel shells.
At this point, there is no difference between the Luxin coalition army and the traditional army.
Even because the military magic machinery relies heavily on ammunition, the Luxin coalition army has higher requirements for logistics supply.
This is the experience that the Candela Empire has summed up after many battles with the Luxin coalition army, although the experience is painful, but it is absolutely effective.
The Candela Empire and the Maro Empire joined forces to set up this encirclement in order to force the ammunition consumption of the Luxin coalition army. So as to find a glimmer of victory.
Although the cost of this is extremely terrible. But at such moments. But there was no choice.
Although the cavalry corps fell, the armies of the two empires still showed no signs of retreating, and the elite soldiers continued to rush towards the surrounded Luxin coalition army.
On the other hand, the flames of the magic cannonballs kept shooting out from the Luxin coalition formation, and a series of loud sounds burst out on the plains of Serra.
Because of the number of battles with the Luxin coalition army, the Candela Empire gradually found some ways to deal with the fierce artillery fire of the Luxin coalition army, that is, it no longer used dense formations and relied on numerical superiority to defeat the enemy as in the traditional wars in the past. Instead, it is spread out as much as possible to ensure that the explosion of each magic cannonball causes as few casualties as possible.
Although this will inevitably reduce the overall combat effectiveness, what the two empires need to do now is to be able to try their best to consume as much ammunition as possible to get as close to the Luxin coalition as possible, and even directly rush in to disrupt their positions.
Once the two sides are entangled together, the advantage of the new alliance is not worth mentioning in the face of the huge strength advantage of the two imperial alliances.
Count Darcy in the Luxin coalition formation took in the situation in the position, and his face changed slightly.
"Captain Hart, if we continue like this, I'm afraid our mana cannonballs won't be able to hold up the consumption. ”
Captain Hart nodded slightly, "That's right. At the current rate of attrition, we can only maintain the same firepower for no more than half an hour at most. ‘
"Not even half an hour?" was Count Darcy taken aback. "That'...... Isn't it time for us to execute the next battle plan in advance?"
Captain Hart lifted his hand to look at the timer on his wrist and shook his head.
"It's ten minutes short of the agreed time. There can be no rush now. Count Darcy, let your Magic Tank Brigade match up with our Magic Tank Brigade. Delay the attack from the opposite side for a while. ”
"Good. ”
Count Darcy agreed, turned around and gave the order.
Two minutes later, the Magic Chariot Brigade of the Ruerson Kingdom, composed of a full five hundred specially customized magic chariots, and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Magic Tank Brigade composed of two hundred taels of magic tanks, swarmed out of the Luxin Alliance Formation, and poured into the Maro Empire military formation in the southwest like a tide.
The reason why the Candela Imperial Army Formation in the northeast was not chosen as the target of the attack was mainly because they were worried that the opponent would dig a trap in that direction in advance, which would form a certain obstacle to the advancement of the Mana Chariot and Mana Tank.
And when the magic chariot and magic tank brigade rushed out, the magic artillery of the Luxin coalition army also changed at the same time, focusing its main firepower on attacking the Candela Imperial soldiers rushing in the direction of the north, but no longer attacking the Maro Imperial army.
Seeing the magic chariots and magic tanks that seemed to be hundreds of tigers spoiled by the Luxin coalition formation, the generals in the two imperial formations were all in high spirits.
Since the battle, the Luxin coalition army has been holding its position with magic artillery, making it impossible for them to advance an inch, and this is the first counterattack launched by the Luxin coalition army.
Although it is menacing, it reflects the fact from the side, that is, the Luxin coalition army does not have much confidence in its ammunition reserves, and can only take the initiative to attack to reduce consumption.
The Maro Empire reacted quickly.
With a wave of his hand, Marshal Senri, the commander of the Marlo Empire, two 10,000 light cavalry that had been prepared long ago split into two groups, resting from the flanks like two sharp knives and entering the battlefield.
Of course, their task is not to fight hard with the Magic Tank Brigade and the Magic Tank Brigade, but to harass them with their high mobility, and at the same time maintain a threat to the Luxin Alliance's main formation, ensuring that the opponent's Magic Tank Brigade and Magic Tank Brigade do not dare to wantonly attack the main formation of the Maro Empire.
At the same time, the magic artillery brigade that had not been used in the Maro Empire's array finally let out their own roar at this time.
"Boom, boom, boom—"
A full 500 self-developed and produced magic cannons plus 100 magic cannons purchased from the New Flying Chamber of Commerce attacked at the same time, and countless brilliant fires erupted on the battlefield in an instant.
I have to say that the mastery of magic artillery on the part of the Maro Empire is far from perfect.
Reflected in this battle, it is the magic cannonballs they fire that have a miserable hit rate.
It was obviously attacking the Magic Chariot Brigade and the Magic Tank Brigade that were charging over, but only a small part of them could accurately fall in the middle of the formation of those Magic Chariots and Magic Tanks, and most of them didn't know where they had been.
As for accurate hits, it can only be done by luck.
So while the magic cannons may seem impressive when fired together, they actually do very little damage.
Whether it is the magic chariot of the Ruerson Kingdom or the magic tank of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce Escort, with its thick skin and thick flesh, it doesn't care about the huge impact caused by the fall of the magic cannonball.
There are even some magic vehicles or magic tanks that are more unlucky, being directly hit by magic shells, but they are also protected by the open magic shield.
However, the Maro Empire's magic artillery salvo was not expected to be able to really destroy the opponent's magic chariots and magic tanks in large numbers.
This has been verified in the countless battles between the two empires and the New Flying Chamber of Commerce camp before, and these terrifying monsters are simply invincible on the battlefield.
So their real target is not actually the magic chariot and magic tank, but the land below them.
Under the bombardment of dense magic shells, the originally flat Serra Plain was blown out of large craters in an instant.
This greatly hindered the progress of the Magic Tanks and Magic Tanks, and some of them even rushed directly into the pit, completely unable to move.
At this time, the light cavalry and heavy infantry of the Maro Empire gave full play to their flexible advantages, and rampaged across the already unrecognizable Serra Plain, and in the blink of an eye, they had already narrowed the distance between them and the main formation of the Luxin coalition army.
Because there were a large number of magic chariots and magic tanks mixed between them, it was naturally impossible for the Luxin coalition army to attack with magic artillery to avoid accidental injury.
At first glance, there was no way for the Luxin coalition to stop the advance of the Maro Empire.
"Hmph, do you really think that we only have the same trick as magic artillery?" Seeing the situation here, Captain Hart in the Luxin Alliance's main formation in the distance sneered, picked up the magic call box, and gave an awe-inspiring order.
A moment later, the two hundred magic tanks of the Magic Tank Brigade of the New Flying Chamber of Commerce's Escort Team, which could not advance at high speed due to the terrain obstruction, moved in unison, and quickly spread horizontally across the battlefield, almost forming a horizontal column, like a wall blocking the front of the charge of the Maro Empire's light cavalry corps.
Seeing this, the commander who led the light cavalry regiment of the Maro Empire did not hesitate to give the order to charge again.
The two hundred magic tanks seemed to completely seal off the road ahead, but in fact, the gap between each two magic tanks was huge enough for them to easily penetrate the past.
As for what to do with these magic tanks, that is the task of the heavy infantry corps later.
However, they had barely started their charge when the guns in front of the two hundred magic tanks roared at the same time.
Although the magic cannon equipped on the Magic Tank is much less powerful than the normal Magic Artillery, it does more damage than the Magic Cannon because of its proximity and flat fire.
With just one volley, the 10,000 elite light horsemen who had just been sent out were already on their backs, and in an instant, nearly half of the knights could not stand up again.
The light cavalry legion of the Maro Empire naturally knew that there was no way to retreat at this time, and gritted their teeth and rushed forward desperately.
However, under the relentless second salvo of the Magic Tank Brigade, more than a third of the knights evaporated in an instant.
In the blink of an eye, only a few of the 10,000 light horsemen were scattered across the battlefield.
At this moment, the top cover of the five hundred magic chariots of the Ruerson Kingdom opened, and two heavily armed soldiers of the Ruerson Kingdom emerged from each magic chariot, launching a round of strafing at the remaining light cavalry of the Maro Empire not far away.
At this point, the 30,000 light cavalry regiments supported by the Maro Empire were all wiped out. (To be continued......)
