For the next hour, the battlefield maintained a strange stability, whether it was the Teutonic troops in the three lines of defense and the pre-war camp, or the Japanese Sengoku period troops who were all evacuated to the forest area, they all tacitly chose a temporary truce at this moment and began to go about their own business.

"This casualty is also heavy enough for the Boghall pikemen company and the Acropolis detachment, especially for the companies and detachments of all the recruits, and it seems that the psychic magic you cast on them to stabilize their morale has worked well. "In a clearing deep in the forest, Feng Longde, riding on the back of an undead war horse, maintained a state of readiness to fight with a steel iris shield and a steel extra-long riding spear, but he was constantly exchanging messages with the lich mages in the soul connection.

"This is what we should do, Your Majesty. The deep and ethereal voices of the lich mages came from the soul connection, even in the form of soul fluctuations, and the same is true in the frequency of fluctuations, "Perhaps it is a little unacceptable for ordinary humans to apply psychic magic to them as if they were hypnotized or controlled by a mind, but only then can they survive as many people as possible if they fight to the death, and there will be far fewer casualties than a rout caused by a collapse of morale without applying psychic magic." ”

"I've always been used to cold data and conclusions, and it's really the character of you lich mages, or the style of Caroline's guy. Von Rond replied, and then involuntarily shrugged his shoulders, even though this action would not be known to the lich mages, "I have read your analysis before, and you have used many examples from the previous Teutonic Empire to show that the battle loss rate of Teutonic human units that have been subjected to appropriate and reasonable psychic magic is generally at least half lower than that of other Teutonic human units that have not been stabilized by any psychic magic, especially when it comes to newly formed Teutonic human units with full recruits. ”

"Psychic magic can help a first-time Teutonic human soldier quickly get out of that state of panic and adapt to the battlefield as quickly as possible, rather than dying soon after setting foot on the battlefield. "The messages sent by the lich mages in the soul connection have little personal emotional fluctuations, just like their leader, the Nether Queen Caroline, "In addition, the wounded Teutonic human soldiers have been treated by our magic, and most of them are able to return to the battlefield immediately, and the few seriously wounded have not fully recovered physically although they have been cured, so they can only be placed in the pre-war camp to rest. ”

"What happened to the bodies of the fallen Teutonic human soldiers?" Feng Longde was most concerned about this question, although the vast majority of the Japanese Teutonic human soldiers planned to start reincarnation after death, but the Teutonic human soldiers of all ethnic groups from other ethnic groups all hoped to continue their life journey that ended in advance after their death in battle, and whether their bodies were well preserved was the key to whether they could open their eyes again.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, the remains of all the fallen Teutonic human soldiers have been completely evacuated from the battlefield by their comrades, and we have safely protected their remains and their souls that have not yet dispersed with the Afterlife Spell, and it is entirely possible to perform afterlife sacrifices after the battle, so that they can be resurrected as corpse witches in their new identity. The Lich Mages reported to Feng Longde in the Soul Connection, allowing him to dispel his fears, "In addition, there is a human soldier named Bruce in the Third Acropolis Legion detachment who punched his own detachment leader on the battlefield and is now imprisoned in the pre-war camp, what should he do?"

"For the time being, they will be held in custody, and when the battle is over and they are returned to the Teutonic camp, they will be disposed of in accordance with the corresponding Teutonic military law. Feng Longde replied without hesitation, "I remember that if you repeatedly deliberately contradict or disobey your own commander on the battlefield, and dare to attack your own commander, the punishment is not small, but the punishment must be punished, even if he is a warrior who has killed countless enemies, otherwise, everyone will learn from him, then what do we have to do to form an army? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. The Lich Mages replied to Feng Longde through the Soul Connection, and then asked themselves and the others, "Your Majesty, what orders do we need to give to the Teutonic troops next?"

After hearing the Lich Mage's inquiry, Feng Longde was silent for a while before replying: "Let all the Teutonic troops rest in place for an hour while alerting the enemy's movements, exactly until three o'clock in the afternoon, when the attack will be launched on time, the Boghall pikeman company, the Boghall two-handed swordsman company and the Acropolis legion detachment will break away from their respective lines to attack the enemy staying in the forest, and the Boghall riflemen and Teutonic artillerymen will stay in their respective lines, in case the enemy may take the back route, And when necessary, let the Teutonic artillerymen operate heavy weapons to provide fire support for the attacking Teutonic troops, or cover the path of the enemy's reinforcements with Chanel fire incendiary bombs, so as to reduce the combat pressure of the attacking troops. ”

"Your Majesty, why don't we keep the status we are holding onto? Judging from the monitoring of the Revenant Rangers, their food cannot support their consumption for too long, and we can completely annihilate them at the minimum cost after they run out of food. A lich mage asked Feng Longde in Soul Connection.

"Our supply lines and stockpiles are large enough for us to engage them in a defensive stalemate here, but don't forget that we're not just facing enemies and battlefields. Feng Longde replied flatly, and after thinking about it, he transmitted the memory fragment of the conversation he had with Yakumo Purple at that time to the soul fire of all the lich mages through soul connection, " We only need to deal with this Japanese Sengoku period human army now, but none of us can guarantee when a similar external human army will suddenly pop up somewhere in Gensokyo, and every time we attack, we will inevitably bring out the vast majority of the troops, once there are two places in Gensokyo, if different external human armies are found, we will lose each other, so let's fight as quickly as possible, try to end the battle before the sun sets today, and after cleaning up the battlefield, the whole army will return to the Teutonic camp, and restore our military strength and digest our results as soon as possible before a new external human army appears。 ”

"Your will, Your Majesty. The Lich Mage shouted in low unison to Von Rond in the Soul Connection, and then all fell silent and began to convey the Immortal King's orders and other tasks to the various Teutonic forces.

Although a lot of evidence was lacking in the analysis and conclusion of the military division under the daimyo Shiozukigawa, he was keenly able to guess that the Teutonic troops would definitely turn to attack them: on the battlefield where you are dead and changing rapidly, it is not important how you analyze it many times, what matters is whether you can guess the enemy's intentions, otherwise no matter how reliable the signs used for analysis are, it is useless to analyze the useful results, the enemy does not care whether you are good at summarizing or not, you can't guess how he wants to fight, you can be beaten

After an hour's rest, the Teutonian troops, who had fully rested and fed and drunk, basically regained most of their physical strength, and the lightly wounded who had been magically healed by the lich mages also recovered their combat strength and returned to their respective companies or detachments, only those who had been treated by healing magic and were not in danger of life, but still needed to recuperate physically for a period of time, could only stay in the pre-war camp, in a sense, to ensure the defense of the pre-war camp.

As for the Teutonic artillerymen, they were responsible for providing fire support to the attacking Teutonic troops, but the Teutonic artillerymen who operated the Teutonic heavy catapults and the giant pole scale stone throwers were now resting, and the Teutonic artillerymen who operated the "porcupine" repeating ballista were nervously loading the "porcupine" with wind and lightning crossbow arrows In the magazine-like device on the repeating ballista, prepare for launch: although there are many Chanel fire incendiary bombs that can be thrown and projectile by the Teutonic heavy catapult and the giant pole scale stone thrower, the kind of Chanel fire incendiary bomb with a limited burning power than the modern thermite incendiary bomb Once accidentally smashed into the forest, the fire wave that exploded at the moment when the temperature was as low as 2,000 degrees and the resulting sea of fire could not be extinguished by the current manpower, even if the two sides did not fight, it was useless to temporarily cooperate to extinguish the fire, and the burning effect did not dare to say that it burned until all Gensokyo, but at least this forest was not wanted to be saved, and then it is likely to spread all the way to Hakurei Shrine in the east

Therefore, only the Teutonic artillerymen who were responsible for operating the "porcupine" repeating ballista were preparing for firing, while the other Teutonic artillerymen, in addition to giving their colleagues who were still busy, sat down and rested, but they were also prepared for the corresponding battle, that is, to take out the guys from the large pile of weapon boxes and ammunition boxes placed a little farther away from them when needed, but they had not taken them out yet, so no one knew what weapons Feng Longde had prepared for them.

"Fire!" With the roars and waving gestures of the Teutonic artillery squad leaders, the strings of a dozen "porcupine" ballistas tightened, and then the long-awaited wind-based and thunder-based crossbowbolts filled in the channel poured down on the heads of the enemies who were faintly lined up at the edge of the forest, and after a few moments, the next wind or lightning bolt was fired from the next wind or lightning bolt that was replenished in the magazine-like device.

Unlike the thunder-based enchanted crossbows that can activate the thunder-based magic [Chain Lightning] after hitting an object, the wind-based magic blessed by the wind-based enchanted crossbows all increases the stability and speed of the crossbows' flights, and the crossbows that have been treated with this wind-based enchantment are more accurate than the special ballistae crossbows enchanted by ordinary ballistas and other elemental magic systems, but the accuracy of the "porcupine" repeating ballista itself is still somewhat unsatisfactory, unless there are three or four "porcupines" The ballistas fired together at a specific target within a range of precision, or if you wanted to use them to decapitate the enemy commanders in the enemy formation, it would be better to use the Teutonic heavy catapult and the giant pole scale stone thrower to throw the Chanel fire incendiary bomb

As far as the current technical conditions are concerned, the military factories and lich mages in the Teutonic camp can only engrave magic patterns on the large crossbow arrows of the ballista crossbow arrows, and the difficulty of inscribed magic patterns on ordinary arrows and crossbow arrows is much higher than that of Huaxia micro-carvings, and the work of enchantment cannot be produced in large quantities like industry, it requires the maker to have a lot of magic control, otherwise the production failure rate is quite high, and it is not uncommon for novices to make ten enchanted crossbow arrows to fail nine shots and only one shot barely succeeds, only those veterans who can practice make perfect can do their best to enchant every shot to the point of success。

Therefore, it can be seen from here that Feng Longde took out all the guys who had hoarded at the bottom of the ballast for the sake of the wars that would occur during the time when the enchantment rifts were frequent, in order to solve these external human armies as soon as possible, and after surviving this period, the Teutonic camp that digested the spoils of war and prisoners of war would definitely usher in a peak period of accelerating development, which was what Feng Longde, who had been worried about many affairs in the Teutonic camp, wanted to see the most.

To get back to the point, when the wind and lightning crossbows fired into the forest with a sharp whistling sound, most of the Japanese samurai in the Sengoku period army gathered and stood at the edge of the forest in a tight line, sending out a tiger-roaring mountain shout to the Teutonic troops slowly advancing towards them to boost their morale.

"Uhhh

Even though a large number of wind-based enchanted crossbows and thunder-based enchanted crossbows were shot into their ranks, and many people were nailed to the ground by the high-speed wind-based enchanted crossbows or electrocuted and paralyzed by the thunder-based magic [chain lightning] activated by the thunder-based enchanted crossbows, these Japanese samurai who had practiced martial arts all year round still had their faces unchanged, as proud as tigers with their fangs bared.

"Is this the real Japanese samurai in Japan's Warring States Period, not those who have lost their names in World War II" With his greatly enhanced vision after being reincarnated as a corpse witch, Zhu Henghong, who was holding a fan-shaped shield in his left hand and holding a one-handed long sword in his right hand, led his company forward, could clearly see those Japanese samurai who were constantly roaring, and couldn't help muttering to himself in the fire of his soul: " Like the knights of Europe, these Japanese samurai who believed in true bushido were unruly and upheld their faith and glory, and regarded them as far more important than their own lives" (To be continued). )
