The town of Vercarra, is a small town.

To be precise, it's a small town, and many maps don't even show it.

As an intellectual who has studied for three years, the mayor of the town, Mr. Vika, has the greatest desire in life to write a history of the town.

However, he looked through the records of the town, and the biggest thing that happened here was that there were two shameless young people in the village...... Well, two young men who had the courage to break through the feudal shackles and ignore the world's criticism bravely eloped

Mayor Vika can only put down his pen in the end.

But starting on December 29, 835 Julian A.D., the name of this town will be the same as that of Vatino, the city of Jouman...... and other most famous cities on the continent have gone down in history, and have written a strong stroke in the history of war in the world.

"Ha, ha~!" the artilleryman held a dry branch in his hand and shouted loudly, driving the pack horse dragging the artillery.

Several stout horses spewed hot air from their nostrils, made a "purring" sound from their mouths, and stomped on their hooves, desperately pulling heavy cannons.

Behind them, the ropes were all taut and crunched

Behind the artillery, there were also a few artillerymen who were clutching the wheels, or pushing the gun mount, shouting trumpets, pushing the artillery to move a little bit.

Everywhere the wheels rolled over, they left heavy ruts.

Behind that artillery carriage, there were dozens of the same artillery carriages marching with difficulty.

From afar, they are lined up like ants on the ground.

The artillerymen were all tired and sweating profusely. Many even take off their clothes. Shirtless. Pushing the heavy gun carriage forward in the cold wind.

Behind them were dense tents. In the middle of the tent was a huge banner fluttering with the cold wind in the winter hunt.

If you look closely, you will see that there is something strange about the pattern on the flag. On that banner, embroidered with a tall eagle, behind the eagle. There were also two bright bolts of lightning that pierced down from the sky like sharp swords.

If it was before, as long as you know a little bit about aristocratic heraldry, it would be a little strange to see such a badge.

The eagle is the symbol of the royal Ruman, and the lightning is the symbol of the royal Semitic people. These two have been feuding with each other for thousands of years, when can they actually appear in the same flag?

Not to mention, there are two lightning bolts in it. You must know that on the banner of the Semitic royal family, there is only one lightning bolt.

Therefore, such a flag is a sight to behold. It's a bit nondescript, I don't know what to say.

And now. As soon as you see this flag, people will immediately know: the hope of mankind, the peerless general who has won all battles, and the famous Count of Lorraine, the god of war of the flying eagle, is here~!

On the other side of Lord Luo's banner is the town of Vercarra.

Before the Papal Army led by Lorraine formed a flank attack with the Bair Legion, the Semitic Legion, under the command of Veraprani, took the lead in capturing the town, and then desperately built various fortifications.

The town had been completely transformed into a huge barracks by this time. The wilderness outside the town is crisscrossed with trenches, and the roads are covered with staghorn rocks.

Around the town, countless breastworks were built, and although they were not high, the cavalry could not jump over them. Moreover, the canine teeth of the construction are staggered, and it is extremely dense. Even if you walk in the process, it is extremely difficult.

Although the Semitic legions had been surrounded by the army led by Lorraine, they had built themselves a strong fortress to fight the trapped beasts.

Buying time, hoping that the reinforcements sent by the high priest will be able to rescue him when the time comes.

At this time, the artillerymen pushed and pulled the artillery and slowly advanced, until they could clearly see the Semitic soldiers in the opposite town, and the artillery officer nodded with satisfaction. Then he shouted, "Okay, this is it." ”

At his command, the soldiers quickly untied the pack horses and pulled them to the rear. In order to prevent them from being frightened by the roar of the cannons, before the advent of heavy towing machinery such as automobiles, the artillerymen could only move by those precious horses.

That's why, when Napoleon was marching, he would say the famous phrase 'Let the donkey and the scholar go in the middle'.

And for the soldiers, these donkeys and horses are more important than some plague scholars, howling bricks and beasts.

Without scholars, donkeys can still pull cannons. But without donkeys and horses, let the scholars pull cannons and try?

Those plague students may not have a dog that works~!

The grooms pulled the horses down and fed them well. At the same time, the rest of the soldiers took out pickaxes and shovels. Began to hastily construct artillery positions.

Since it was a field position, it was built extremely quickly, and it only took a long time for the fortifications to be completed.

The well-trained artillerymen immediately pushed their artillery into the position.

A team immediately turned around and carried the shells from the transporter behind, then pried open the crates one by one, skillfully loaded the fuses and primers, and placed the shells, which were ready to fire, next to the guns.

The artillery staff officer held the instrument, constantly fiddled, calculated the distance, observed the wind speed, and adjusted the elevation angle of the gun according to the shè table.

When everything was ready, the gun commander raised a red flag to indicate that it was ready to fire.

The colonel of the security corps, who commanded the artillery, waved his hand, and an officer shouted: "Captain Ishè." ”

The two artillerymen pulled the shells, carefully stuffed them into the chamber, and then locked them, and the others immediately dispersed, squatting behind the guns with their ears gagged and their mouths open.

"Put~!"

With an order, the artillery pulled the rope, and there was a deafening bang, and the piercing flames erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, making everyone's eyes hurt instantly.

The artillery shook suddenly, and the dust on the ground was shaken, and the entire artillery was enveloped in an instant, enveloping both the cannon and the artillery in the smoke and dust.

A few seconds later, a cloud of smoke suddenly rose from the ground in the distance. Spread quickly in all directions. A column of black smoke slowly rose.

Artillery observers at the front quickly sent back the message. Missed a little.

"Two more degrees. The operational staff quickly adjusted the angle.

Another shell was fired.

Soon the front-line artillery sent back the news that it was the "Ten Rings", a beautiful blow.

The artillery colonel nodded with satisfaction, after the training of the war, the artillerymen under his command seemed to have cultivated into old fritters.

Then he said with a smile: "The boss speaks, say hello to the demons, then let's say hello, first call half of the base of the past meaning." ”

"Yes~!" his subordinates agreed. The entire artillery regiment sprang into action, firing at the Semitic positions as fast as they could.

Dozens of artillery pieces roared in unison, and the roar was comparable to thunder, spreading far away against the ground.

The smoke from the muzzle of the gun even connected into a gray mist that enveloped the entire artillery position.

Dozens of clouds of smoke rose from the Semitic positions, and the loess could be clearly seen as it exploded into the air, like a flower blooming.

The Holy Protector Legion in the back had just been transferred from the rear, and it was the first time they had seen the scene of artillery bombardment.

Tens of thousands of people were densely gathered behind the artillery position, and these big-headed infantry stilted their feet, wide-eyed and stupidly watched the artillery roaring to the fullest.

The artillerymen quickly pulled out the shells. The smoking shells were tossed aside by the artillerymen, and then quickly reloaded and fired.

The Semitic positions in the distance were now shrouded in smoke from the explosion.

The sight of the flames rising in front of them was far greater than the Templars could have imagined.

Most of these papal troops arrived later. Few people participated in the artillery battle under the Vatino in the first place.

At most, these people are bullying and bullying the common people in the countryside, playing tricks or something, how have they ever seen such a spectacular scene in their lives.

They opened their mouths wide and couldn't help but exclaim: Even if it's hell, it's just that, right?

Then while pretending to draw a cross on his chest, he secretly guessed excitedly: , and if it continues like this, the Semitic people will definitely be left alive soon.

If the battle goes on like this, wouldn't it be much easier?

With the frantic firing of the artillerymen, the shell casings were soon piled up all over the ground, and there were at least dozens of them in front of each cannon.

But the black-clad soldiers from Ruman looked as if they had gone mad.

In order to keep up with the speed of shell consumption, a group of 213 people actually ignored the safety regulations, directly pulled up the shells from the back of the whole vehicle, and then unloaded them aside.

But even so, it didn't take long for the artillerymen to run out again.

The soldiers of the Holy See watched with a faint smack, watching the cannon roar, and after spitting out a mouthful of fire, a shell was gone.

They knew that Lord Lorraine was rich and spendthrifty, and it was an astronomical amount to sell new clothes and cosmetics to his girlfriend every year.

But there is no such squandering. That's a cannon, it's just burning gold.

The Templars of the Holy See are not all lonely and unheard of old people, some people have some understanding of the artillery of the security army, and soon after ten or ten, everyone knows that this cannonball costs twenty gold coins, which is equivalent to half a year's salary.

A cannon sounded, and everyone's ten months' wages flew out.

Dozens of large-caliber guns of the Security Army Artillery Regiment bombarded for nearly an hour, and each artillery fired hundreds of shells, and the shell shells were piled up as high as a hill.

How much money has been played in total?

The soldiers of the Holy See did the math in their hearts, and soon realized that it was not enough to add all the fingers and toes.

No wonder these artillerymen are stinky farts on the top, their eyes are above the top, and their nostrils are raised to the sky to catch bird poop when they walk, it turns out that they are real cows~!

"When the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels", this sentence is not a metaphor, but a true description.

After a full hour of fire preparation, the order to attack was given from above.

More than a dozen legions of Templar Protectors gathered in front of the camp, formed a formation several miles wide, and then, with an order, slowly advanced towards the Semitic camp.

On the other side, the soldiers of the Holy See Bayer army also rushed forward after the artillery fire had stopped.

The flag is like a forest, the people are like cháo, and the morale is like a rainbow. Hundreds of thousands of white-clad papal protectors covered the land. Mighty slaughter towards the Semitic position.

The Semitic camp, sandwiched between the two armies, was uncharacteristically quiet. There were no soldiers coming out to meet them, and there was not a single figure on the entire front, as if they had all been killed by the security fire.

Lorraine was holding a telescope in the rear to observe the position of the Semitic army, suddenly put down the telescope, shook his head, and said, "The enemy has also learned wisely. ”

"Clever, handsome, what do you mean?"

Behind Lorraine stood a row of generals of the Papal Legion, and they were surprised to hear Lorraine's emotion.

In their opinion, the Semitic people who were surrounded in the middle by two armies. It was already meat on their boards, and it only took a few knives to chop them up.

The Papal Corps was twice as numerous as the enemy, with hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers to support the battle, and behind it were two divisions of the Security Army armed with machine guns and grenadiers.

Grenades are even more open to supply to them, and they can take as many as they can.

The generals of the Holy See Legion are confident that it will not take long to solve the Semitic army like a trapped beast with such a strong combat effectiveness.

Then he pushed back in one go, took down Ryder City, and captured the High Priest alive. Establish immortal deeds.

Lorraine only had to look at their expressions to know what was going on in the minds of these papal generals. On the contrary, the two division commanders of the Skeleton Division and the Flag Guard Division of the Security Army have been silent.

But it's no wonder that in the next big victory in Vatino, the Semitic navy was completely annihilated, and the 100,000 living forces surrendered, and those who fled escaped, and there was not much left.

The advantages are all on their side at the moment, and these generals who have come from the rear and have not yet fought with the Semitic people are naturally confident.

They hadn't taken the lesson of actual combat yet, but Veraprani and the besieged Semitic soldiers were close to graduating.

The reason why he couldn't see the figure was because the Semitic people also learned from themselves and dug trenches to hide themselves.

As early as when they were besieging Tino, they learned this tactic from the security forces.

In the last battle, the Semitic people's fighting will is not comparable to the soldiers of the Holy See.

Moreover, the High Priest of the Undead will not sit idly by and watch Veraprani and the main forces of the Western Front be annihilated by himself, and will definitely try his best to save him.

This battle, and there are still fights.

The Papal soldiers charging towards the Semitic positions were getting closer and closer to the enemy, and with a loud shout, the soldiers shouted "for the light" and accelerated to the final three hundred meters.

But as the soldiers charged, there was a constant scream and a kick fell into the trap, followed by a scream, and sometimes several people fell at the same time.

The Semites dug countless pits on the periphery of the position, and the artillery had just bombarded only the enemy's position, not the wilderness in front of the position.

The Semites also planted sharpened wooden stakes at the bottom of the pits, and the traps were covered with loess.

The soldiers who were just waiting to slash and kill the demon people didn't pay attention to their feet at all, and once they stepped on it, they didn't even have a chance to dodge, and those who fell into it were either killed or injured.

The traps that appear everywhere, although they are only a small trouble, are extremely demoralizing.

The papal soldiers' charging steps were abrupt, and everyone stopped, carefully testing the ground in front of them, for fear that they would also fall into it.

At this moment, a rain of arrows flew from the Semitic position, and the arrows slashed through the air, shè towards the papal soldiers who stopped.

The soldiers hurriedly raised their shields to resist, but many of them were still hit by arrows and fell to the ground screaming.

Bows and arrows flew out of the position in a steady stream, but the soldiers of the Holy See could not see the demons with shè arrows in front of them, they all hid in the trench and released arrows.

However, the high-spirited soldiers of the Holy See were not deterred by the enemy's bows and arrows, and the soldiers crouched down, put their shields on their heads, and struck the ground in front of them with their weapons, and continued to touch forward.

The papal generals behind Lorraine were overjoyed, as if victory was at hand.

"Okay, rush up~!"

"The demons will also play some tricks. ”

"There are still people from Sandos in the west, I want to see how long the demons can hold on. ”

Lord Lorraine pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but he wisely closed his mouth, and said secretly in his heart: "Let them go, if they don't learn some lessons, they won't remember it for a long time."

There are some things that they can't understand if they don't experience it themselves. Children who don't suffer will not grow up.

Braving a hail of arrows, the strikers quickly approached the Semitic trenches, knowing that there was an enemy inside, and were just about to jump in. Suddenly, a group of Semitic soldiers emerges from underground. Screaming and rushing up.

Not to be outdone, the Holy See soldiers waved and rushed forward. Collide with enemies and fight fiercely.

When the battle on the front line attracted the attention of all the soldiers, everyone thought of hurrying forward to reinforce them, kill these demon cubs, kill a large group of cavalry from the northernmost part of the Semitic position, and rush up from the flank.

The Papal soldiers on the right flank were caught off guard, and were quickly torn open by the Semitic knights, and immediately became chaotic.

The soldiers of the Holy See were mostly new recruits who had been trained in the rear for a long time. But this was their first actual battle, and the flanks were suddenly attacked, some turned to meet the battle, and some turned and retreated, losing ground.

There was chaos on the battlefield.

The unexpected situation made the Holy See generals in the rear look at each other, not knowing what to say.

Lorraine snorted coldly and said, "Retreat, that's all for today." ”

Then he left the generals behind, turned around and walked back to his tent.

Hearing the order to retreat, the soldiers of the Holy See immediately turned and retreated. The good thing is that they remember the training and know how to fight and retreat. The retreat was not turned into a rout.

The Semites were trying to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and if they could not defeat the retreating Papal legions, they would still be hurt.

At this moment, the artillery in the rear suddenly roared again, throwing shells at the Semitic positions, and the explosion frightened the Semitic soldiers and blocked their counterattack.

As if for the sake of demonstration, the artillerymen again covered the enemy positions with fire, and the continuous artillery fire almost ploughed the Semitic positions.

The first day of fighting ended in a brief encounter.

Early the next morning, the war-hungry generals of the Holy See again asked for an attack, and Lorraine did not refuse.

The soldiers of the Holy See rushed forward again in full swing and engaged the enemy in a fierce battle on the front line.

In the middle of the battle, Lorraine suddenly ordered all the troops to be withdrawn, and everyone was kept hidden in the trenches, and the artillery was hidden.

Just as the soldiers of the Holy See were idlely in the trenches complaining, the war fortress of the undead suddenly appeared in the sky,

It can be seen from the dense black dots in the air that the lichs are pouring out of their nests.

They flew straight over the heads of the Semites, dropping supplies on the ground, and it seems that the lich and the dark mage also put down their noble shelves and acted as transport planes in order to rescue Veraprani.

Then two hundred war fortresses flew over the positions of the Holy See legions, and bombarded the ground with dark spells.

It wasn't long before the lich and the dark mage were wreaking havoc, and the war fortress of the Maple Leaf Danlin arrived in time.

Although it took some time to confirm the movements of the Undead War Fortress, thanks to the help of a powerful telegraph system, the flying force of Maple Leaf Danlin arrived in time for reinforcements.

In the sky, a spectacular air battle is staged.

More than 300 war fortresses chased each other in the sky, the light of artillery fire and dark spells flickered in the sky, and every now and then a war fortress dragged a burning flame down from the sky.

The two sides refused to give in to each other, and fought until they were about to run out of energy, and then they retreated.

As soon as the shadow of the war fortress disappeared, the Holy See legions on the ground attacked the Semitic tribes again.

xxxxxxx

Helord glanced at the starry sky and the Papal Legion camp in the distance, which was brighter than the stars, and sighed inwardly.

Brilliant lights spread almost all over the land, showing the strength of the Holy See legions.

The battle has been going on for more than ten days, and they have used all kinds of methods, and the war fortress has been frequently dispatched, and if it is impossible to fight during the day, it will be fought at night.

As soon as you replenish enough energy, you will fly back to the battle.

But they have never been able to break the encirclement of the Semitic army by humans, and the air force of Maple Leaf Danlin has been pestering them to the death.

Herod's tactics of evading human detection in a roundabout way did not work, and the humans seemed to be able to accurately guess the time and destination of their war fortress every time.

Helord even wondered if there was an inner ghost among his own people, who was reporting to the humans, otherwise he wouldn't have been caught by the war fortress of the Maple Leaf Danlin every time.

Human intelligence has become so powerful in just a few days.

Veraprani was now barely supported by the supplies dropped from the War Fortress, but the losses to the War Fortress were staggering.

This annoyed Hylord, who insisted on the bombing plan for the city of Jouman.

"Master, Master~!"

Heylord's musings were interrupted, and when he looked up, he saw a lich beside him, and he said cautiously, "We should go down, we can't stay here for long." ”

Heylord nodded, flicked his sleeves out of the war fortress, and quickly landed on the ground, quickly stepping into the Semitic position, led the way by the Guò soldiers, and into the headquarters that Veraprani had built underground. (To be continued.) )
