"Second round of suppressive shooting!"

"Second round of suppressive shooting!"

"Second round of suppressive shooting—"

With the roar of the crossbowmen's words, another crossbow bolt that had been in the crossbow groove was also ejected by the crossbow string, whistling towards the witch cultists. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The suppressive shooting used by the crossbowmen equipped with a heavy pulley steel crossbow can be said to be the second burst feature of the heavy pulley steel crossbow - The ordinary heavy crossbow equipped with a movable arm can only be reloaded twice a minute at most, while the heavy pulley steel crossbow with a pulley set and a movable arm and other special accessories can be reloaded three times in one minute, plus two crossbow arrows can be loaded at one load, so that the shooting frequency of a soldier equipped with a heavy pulley steel crossbow per unit time is similar to that of a qualified legion heavy longbow equipped with a longbow, and the most important thing is that the training cycle of the heavy pulley steel crossbow is very short, otherwise the crossbowman company that was dispatched this time will not all be holding heavy pulley steel crossbows, which shows that the heavy pulley steel crossbow is much more used than the longbow。

The first round of suppressive shooting is no different from the second round of suppressive shooting, both of which use 360-degree encirclement shooting without dead angles in all directions to reduce the number and combat effectiveness of the witch cultists as much as possible, and at the same time can also play a role in covering the charge of Teutonic warriors such as Feng Longde and Shionzukikawa: although these crossbowmen did not know that the witch cultists were able to fire fireballs, the accompanying lich mages knew that they directly instructed them to pour out the crossbow bolts in the crossbow trough in the first and second suppressive shots respectively, and then they did not need to re-string the arrows and directly lay down on the spot to hide, so as to save the possibility of being counterattacked by the remnants of the witch cultists who have come back to their senses, causing unnecessary damage.

While the number of the Witch Cultists was completely compressed to less than fifty by the suppressive shooting of the two-wheeled heavy pulley steel crossbow, Feng Longde, Shiontsu Chuan and other Teutonic warriors had already rushed nearly half the distance, and they only needed to rush another sixty meters to kill the Witch Cultists.

"Launch, launch!" Seeing the strange over-armored knight with an iris shield in one hand and a two-handed sword in the other, he rushed over with a large group of hoplites dressed as knights who were also a little heavily loaded, and the leading squad leaders shouted anxiously, and they began to desperately condense the fireball.

"Teutonic warriors! shoot!" Seeing that the crossbowmen had finished shooting their crossbows and hid on the spot, and the remaining nearly fifty heretics in front of him began to prepare to fight back with fireballs, Feng Longde also roared loudly and shouted his own orders, raising the death-breathed weapons attached to the steel iris shield to the maximum strength he could control so far.

"Hey!" the Teutonic warriors roared in unison, continuing to charge while holding the bayonet-mounted Lee Enfield Rifle No.4 base model Mk.I, "Honorary !!"

"Bang bang ......" accompanied by the sound of gunfire and the crisp click sound made when pulling the bolt to exit the hot cartridge case, a large number of 7.7×56mm R rifle bullets whistled and flew towards the witch cultists who were condensing the fireball and were about to launch it, many witch cultists were silently shot and fell to the ground before they had time to react, and bright red blood flowed from the bullet holes.

"Free Fire!" Although the Teutonic warriors did not mainly practice firearm shooting, they still knew the basic operation process to some extent, so even a round of random shooting and bird knocking down also knocked down some witch cultists, and Feng Longde could only continue to give this order.

"Hey!" the Teutonic warriors replied in a chaotic manner, seeing that the new guy in their hands was so powerful for the first time in actual combat, and they were also quite excited, which made the original uniform atmosphere fade a lot, but on the whole it was quite orderly in the process of charging, at least not like before, they were all rushing to their own hands in a chaotic manner, and they were killed in groups of three and five like sheep.

In the continuous gunfire, the witch cultists did not have time to make an effective counterattack, several witch cultists risked their lives to condense and launch a few fireballs that were either missed, or almost all of them were blocked by Feng Longde, who rushed to the front of all the Teutonic warriors, with a greatly strengthened steel iris shield of the death arm, except for the explosion and some sparks flying around, only two fireballs hit the two Teutonic warriors respectively, but only one of the results was blown to the side, but only a slight fracture, and the other one did not know whether it was fierce or lucky, and several protective magic completely neutralized the attack of the fireball technique, after being beaten and staggering, continued to howl and charge, like a bull with his butt on fire.

Use guerrilla attacks to harass the witch cultists and are forced to hold on to help, mobilize the corresponding Teutonic troops to encircle the point and support their current position, use the double burst characteristics of the heavy pulley steel crossbow to carry out suppressive shooting in the early stage to cover the charge of the troops, use the Lee Enfield short rifle No.4 to cover the barrage of fire with random guns and birds during the charge, and hinder the fireball counterattack of the witch cultists as much as possible, and bless a lot of protective magic in advance to ensure that even if you are directly hit, you can save your life and not be disabled...... Arrangements like these and so on made Feng Longde basically in control of the whole process, and there would be no unexpected situations.

After so many high-intensity battles and several large-scale wars, Feng Longde's strategic awareness and tactical level are constantly improving, so he also reads and studies books that specialize in explaining military knowledge and theory in his spare time, as well as many major battles and battles in the Teutonic Empire in the massive materials in the soul connection, plus talks and studies with Caroline and Yarman and other guards knights, and asks for advice on some strategic and tactical battles.

Although hard work cannot be said to bring rich rewards, it is definitely more rewarding than not working hard at all: after such a long time of not necessarily very hard but persistent active learning, Feng Longde's command ability of the army has been significantly improved compared with the novice German youth who still needs to be cautious and need to brainstorm, no longer commanding operations only at the tactical level or strategic level, but began to have a clear understanding of the battle science between tactics and strategy.

In this era of human civilization, the theory of war is actually not as familiar as the vast majority of military fans, only the distinction between tactics and strategy, or in other words, the "strategy" in the mouths of the vast majority of military fans In detail, campaign science refers to the discipline of studying the laws of campaigns and guiding the practice of campaigns, and is an important part of military science, which is in the middle position of strategy and tactics, and is subordinate to strategy and has a direct impact on the development of strategy, and also has a guiding role in the development of tactics: tactics will also react to campaign science to a certain extent, and it can be said that they affect each other's development. Campaign science and tactics reflect the regularity of armed struggle within the scope of war, campaign, and battle respectively, and their position in war theory is quite important.

As far as Feng Longde knows, campaign science is generally divided into contract campaign science and military campaign science, and its research content is mainly the nature, type, characteristics, campaign principles, and the planning, organization, and implementation of the campaign: in modern campaign science, there are contract campaign science (or synthetic corps campaign science), strategic rocket force campaign science, air defense force campaign science, air force campaign science, naval campaign science, logistics campaign science and civil defense campaign science, among which as early as the Chinese "Art of War" Like Xenophon's "Expeditions" in ancient Greece around the fourth century B.C., they all contain some theoretical principles of battle, and in the first half of the nineteenth century, Clausewitz of Prussia "On War" and Jorgini of Switzerland "Introduction to the Art of War" It is also representative and systematically expounds operational guidance, but the real battle science was put forward separately in France in the 10 s of the 20 th century; after entering the 20 th century, along with the continuous updating of weapons and equipment, campaign practice and theory have also been further developed; among them, the Soviet army has formally defined campaign science as an independent ♂ discipline in military science and formulated the theory of large-depth campaigns, while the European and American armies have called the theory of guiding the operations of group armies and group armies "big tactics," "small strategy," or "big tactics" or "small strategy." Advanced tactics", which officially became an independent ♂ discipline in military scholarship until the end of the twentieth century.

To put it simply, the main principle of campaign science is to strive for commanders to know themselves and their opponents, and to make their subjective guidance conform to objective reality...... This is the simplest, and in more detail, it is to resolutely destroy the enemy and actively preserve oneself; select combat methods in the light of the objective situation; be flexible and mobile to seize and maintain the initiative in the campaign; meticulously plan operations and make rapid and thorough preparations for the campaign; concentrate forces in a timely and covert manner to establish a favorable campaign layout; maintain accurate and uninterrupted campaign coordination; strive to surprise the enemy, pay attention to close combat and night combat, and implement concentrated, uninterrupted, and uninterrupted combat Commanding a campaign with high efficiency; strengthening the ideological and political work of the campaign and carrying forward a fine fighting style; being good at using manpower and material resources in the rear to ensure the victory of the campaign; being good at using time and a break between operations to rest and recuperate the campaign corps, and so on......

During the period of the Teutonic Empire, the study of warfare was also gradually summarized in the history of the founding and expansion of the Teutonic Empire, and continued to develop along with the development of war, according to the new situation, new characteristics and new weapons and equipment that appeared in its war and related military fields, and constantly supplemented and modified, making the Teutonic army invincible and dominating the entire earth, which is far from being possible for modern human civilization.

To get back to the point, after many high-intensity battles, large-scale wars, and systematic learning, Von Longde has become a competent and even slightly remarkable military commander, and with his habit of taking the lead, it is not surprising that the Teutonic army can be so brave and good at fighting.

"Wow, ahhhh

"Hey!" the Teutonic warriors shouted in unison, and they leveled the basic model of the Lee Enfield Short Rifle No.4, the Mk.I, which had already been loaded with bayonets, and crashed into the witch cultists like bulls, causing many near-death screams from the crowd.

The free left hand held the hilt of the Teutonic two-handed greatsword, and Feng Longde naturally lowered the tip of the sword to the ground to form a common deception style in the two-handed swordsmanship: this starting style only needs to let the tip of the sword point to the ground and the blade is facing downward.

The witch cultist that Feng Longde faced was obviously a stunned young man who had just come of age for a long time, and when he saw Feng Longde's sword hanging down, he directly understood that he was not ready to fight, and he rushed over with a one-handed long sword in a roar, as if he felt that he was bound to win.

"Tsk......" Seeing that the level of this witch cultist's combat skills did not seem to be as high as when he first met Caroline, Feng Longde grinned and quickly took a step back with his right foot to move himself to the left, so as to easily dodge the witch cultist's attack, and took the opportunity of the witch cultist to slash downward, and the Teutonic two-handed greatsword slashed upwards into his chest, almost splitting the whole person in half.

As soon as he withdrew his Teutonic two-handed greatsword, which had been stained with some blood and minced flesh, Feng Longde saw another witch cultist rushing towards him, but while he was holding a one-handed long sword in his right hand, he also held a short knife in his right hand, which seemed to be a dual-wielding type of guy.

At the same time that Feng Longde rearranged his starting position, the witch cultist threw out the short knife he was holding in his left hand without thinking about it, and roared towards the peephole of the demonic ring-winged barrel helmet that Feng Longde was wearing.

The witch cultist was not a fool, he knew very well that the overweight knight in such heavy metal armor was not likely to hurt him with the weapon in his hand alone, and it was impossible to use fireball magic when he was caught in the melee, so he could only rely on his precise throwing skills to throw the short knife and try to kill him with one blow.

However, it turned out that this method might still have a glimmer of hope for ordinary human knights, but he was facing Feng Longde, whose nerve reaction rate in battle was much faster than that of ordinary humans—this guy only slightly deflected the blade of the Teutonic two-handed greatsword he was holding in both hands, and blocked the thrown short sword, and then followed up with a slash, which also slashed the witch cultist in half.
