Chapter 213: Broken Pulse Campaign, Application for Support
Between the huge Yongshuang Mountains, there are endless valleys.
At the entrance to the valley, it is surrounded by a wall tens of kilometers long.
The walls were built entirely on top of the Eternal Frost Mountains, and the walls were not just one layer, but were arranged by several walls.
But among them, the largest main city wall is more than 100 meters thick.
It is said that it is a city wall, but it is better to pull up the ground out of thin air and build a huge protective platform.
The huge city walls not only have perfect defense facilities, but also various living places, so that the soldiers stationed can reach their combat positions in the first time.
According to the standard defense of the emperor, the main city wall of thirteen kilometers alone requires four standard legions to garrison the defense, and the number of one standard legion is 200,000.
This was only in the direction of the orcs, and there was an even larger semi-circular line of defense in the rear to defend against possible enemies from the north.
To say that it is a fortress is actually a bit small, and it is more appropriate to say that this is a pure war city.
There are more than 30,000 soldiers stationed here alone, and the total number of logistics people is more than 6 million.
Buniton, who climbed the Broken Vein City Wall, stood on the city wall watchtower, looking at the valley shrouded in snow and mist, and his heart was full of emotion.
More than ten years ago, he had just graduated as a non-commissioned officer at the academy, and the first unit he was assigned to was the Third Army Corps of Broken Pulse Frontier.
In just one year, he fought nearly 100 times, and the meritorious glory he obtained was directly promoted to the Royal Legion the following year.
The Royal Legion, under the command of His Majesty, had the largest force of no more than 100,000 men, but it was equipped with the finest weapons and equipment, and enjoyed the best treatment.
But if you want to be incorporated into it, all of them are the best in the army.
And now he has risen to the highest position in the army, but he has also been dismissed because of this, and he thought that he would not have the opportunity to return to fight here.
But now, by mistake, he participated in this important battle as the lord's private soldier.
As a former member of the Broken Vein Fortress and having performed well in his previous operational command, Goodern was appointed Supreme Commander of the Front, directly commanding the strength of the four battalions and coordinating the deployment of friendly forces.
As the core of firepower, the Qingyuan Army obviously has an advantage in the defensive experience of firearms and artillery, and the Royal Third Legion, as a recruit in various senses, still needs to follow some of their suggestions and arrangements in defensive operations this time.
As the main defensive combat unit, the number of the Third Army plus the Qingyuan Army is not enough, and the previous battle losses have not been replenished, so the number of people defending dozens of kilometers of defense is still a bit of pressure.
But fortunately, there are also griffin legions and paladins as close protection, which can barely fill the gaps that are revealed.
Standing on the lookout on the central city wall, looking at the vast white snow mist, Bneton seemed to feel something, his eyes narrowed, and at the same time he stretched out his right hand and placed it on a special stone slab on the lookout mountain, feeling the vibration frequency in it.
This thing is a special ranging and early warning device for the defense line of the broken pulse fortress, more than 100,000 troops move, it is impossible to avoid the detection of this detection equipment, the maximum detection range is about ten kilometers, if the other party dispatches a million level, the early warning function can be expanded to thirty kilometers away.
Such a device has a very good effect in the perennial snow and fog and poor visual field of view.
Feeling the vibrational frequency, Bneton instinctively calculated the situation of the opponent's attack at the first time.
Pick up the communication equipment on the side and adjust it to the frontline full-range call.
"Everyone's attention, the enemy is attacking quickly, two miles away, all personnel are on standby for combat positions, artillery firing commands, target area No. 1 is covered, waiting for the order to fire."
As soon as the announcement was made, a million people on the defensive line entered combat preparations at the same time.
The million-level withdrawal of troops cannot be withdrawn in a day or two, and the soldiers above the original defense line are still the same after a simple change of guard
Stationed here to help the Combined Legion in its operations.
The enemy's advance was unusually rapid, and less than ten minutes after the first battle alarm sounded, the enemy had advanced to the distance.
Million-level movements, even if they were not filled with probing equipment, the soldiers on the city wall could already faintly feel the shock of the charge.
"It's the undead who are coming......
Archbishop of the Holy Light, who was beside Buniton, felt an unusual aura, and his expression was slightly solemn.
"Undead...... I haven't fought with these guys yet, let me see how strong they are this time, Your Excellency the Archbishop, the protection of the soldiers depends on you, many of the Qingyuan soldiers are ordinary people, please don't let them be disturbed by the breath of the undead."
Bneton also had some expectations for an enemy he had never fought before, but he still paid more attention to the situation of his own soldiers.
"No problem, the members of the Paladin Legion are already in place, and they promise not to let the undead aura infect anyone."
Archbishop of the Holy Light also patted his chest and assured Bnyton that this layer of protection made him feel a little at ease.
Seeing the army of the undead breaking through the ten-kilometer warning zone, Buniton did not hesitate and directly contacted the artillery position.
"Progressive shelling, three cardinals, fire!"
After receiving a notice from the supreme command, whether it was the artillery of the Qingyuan Army or the artillery of the emperor, the attack command was repeated at the first time, and the gun bolt was pulled to activate the gunpowder.
A battalion of twenty-four guns, plus a number of the same size and an additional twenty guns purchased, a total of one hundred and forty guns attacked at almost the same time.
A hundred fires streaked between the valleys, making a piercing screech beneath the echoes of the mountains.
At a distance of ten kilometers, the fastest shells have to fly for two seconds, and in this process, the second and third waves of shells have also been discharged and flying in the air.
The first round of artillery fell to the ground, and a deafening explosion instantly sounded in the mountains and valleys.
Although a hundred guns had been used, it was not feasible to completely cover the canyon, so the attack area was mainly concentrated on some main roads.
The artillery attack also brought a shock to the emperor who was still preparing on other defensive lines, even through the thick snow fog, he could vaguely see the explosion of fire from it, and even the aftermath of the attack at the beginning seemed to scatter a lot of the nearby fog, and the undead voice of the assault in the fog in the distance was also faintly visible.
By the time the undead assault reached less than a kilometer below the city walls, the second round of artillery had almost just ended.
Looking at the sparse army of the undead, the imperial defenders who had experienced the impact of the undead, their eyes were full of incredulity.
In the past, the density of the undead army was much more correct than it is now, and the undead who rushed to their feet did not even have one-tenth of the density of the previous attack.
Such a sparse density of the undead army also gave the Broken Vein defenders a new understanding of the weapon of artillery.
As soon as the undead army rushed to their feet, the soldiers of the Royal Third Legion pulled the trigger and began to clear out the fragments of the enemy.
With such a scale of undead, the Qingyuan Army didn't even bother to do it, and directly handed it over to the soldiers of the Third Army as target practice.
However, this idle and stress-free attack only lasted for a short time, and as the three bases of artillery were fired, the artillery members also needed to readjust their attack methods.
And although there has always been a steady stream of shells sent from the rear, there is always a limit to the number, and if they are all fought at once, there will be no support for the subsequent battles.
The artillery support ended the attack, and in less than a few minutes, the number of undead who came from the impact instantly rose several notches.
The black-pressed undead burst out of the snow mist, and the number of undead in the field of vision alone exceeded 100,000.
The so-called million undead is just a pronoun, and no one knows the true number at all, even if there is a transcendent group to investigate, the number obtained has already exceeded 10,000.
And then there is something hidden, then no one knows
。
Most of these undead were orc soldiers who had died in battle, and the rest of them were Terran soldiers.
If you look closely, there are even many unknown skeletons in the undead army.
"The Qingyuan army is in position, and after entering the maximum range, it will fire on its own, and the mortar team will fire and cut it off at will, and the amount of ammunition is not limited."
With Buniton's order, the Qingyuan Army group, which was already ready, immediately threw itself into battle.
At this moment, the sound of gunfire in the entire city defense reached a peak, covering the gunfire of the original Royal Third Legion.
Countless tongues of fire wreaked havoc on the battlefield, unleashing metal storms that swept away and destroyed the bodies of the undead.
Although the city wall is high, the undead are not ordinary combat units, and under the intentional control and command, the undead who are the first to impact and arrive build a ladder with their bodies, so that the undead in the rear can quickly step on them to climb the city wall.
However, unlike previous battles, the defenders had limited means to destroy the wall of the undead, and could only watch as they ascended to battle.
Now, with the addition of guns, the ladder that has been erected will be taken care of by the heavy machine guns in an instant.
The rate of fire of the large-caliber machine gun and the penetrating destructive power can directly shoot through and blow up seven or eight undead in one shot, and it is not ordinary difficult to build a ladder to climb the city wall.
However, as the number of undead increases, the undead aura on the battlefield gradually thickens, and these breaths are deadly to ordinary people.
At this time, the fully equipped Paladin Legion also stepped forward, as the most powerful army of the Holy Light Church, they are not only proficient in combat, but also first-class in healing, supporting, dispelling, and so on.
Thirty thousand holy horsemen, scattered throughout the city walls, burst out of the holy light to protect the soldiers on the city walls from the threat of the undead breath.
At the same time, the Paladin Legion is not only doing defense, but also those who have more energy to spare, unleashing the Holy Light Divine Technique to start attacking the undead army under the city walls.
As a profession with special restraint, the effect of each attack of a member of the Paladin Legion is no less than that of an artillery attack.
Such a strong ability also made Buniton understand why the Heflos Kingdom only sent 30,000 people to help.
With such a killing intensity, 30,000 people are enough to support the protection of the broken vein.
The orc control saw the failure of the attack, and he was not surprised, and immediately began to adjust the offensive strategy, looking for weak points to focus on the attack.
However, in addition to the long firing range, the most important thing is that the gun has good mobility.
Even if the undead army is intent on attacking a certain area, Buniton as the commander can immediately deploy a preparatory army to support and increase the firepower.
Even because of the vastness of the walls, magic armored trucks can drive up to the top of the city, act as fire support points, and quickly deploy and maneuver.
Such superior conditions make the orcs have a bit of a headache to control.
However, the undead army is used to test the enemy's deployment and consume the opponent's strength in advance, and these losses are lost, although it is not possible to carry out a secondary conversion, but as long as the purpose is achieved, these losses are acceptable.
"Release all the undead army, time does not allow us to continue to test like this, the opponent's weapons need to be backed up and replenished, and they can't sustain an attack of this intensity for too long."
The rescuers who watched the battle on the orc side looked at the situation on the battlefield and gave advice.
Faced with such a suggestion, the orc side agreed to such a decision after a secret and instantaneous exchange.
The personnel who manipulate the undead work together to summon and awaken the undead buried underground, and in the Broken Vein Canyon, countless undead come out of the soil.
The sheer number of undead caused the ground where they were hiding to collapse and sink to varying degrees, and none of the imperial defenders in the Broken Vein Fortress could have imagined that there were so many undead corpses hidden in the canyon less than a hundred kilometers outside their city!
The terrifying and evil aura of the undead made the faces of the transcendent and holy light personnel on the city wall change slightly.
Currently millions
The level of undead shock aura is already terrifying enough, and this sudden and even more terrifying undead aura can only show that there are many undead in the rear.
"Magic artillery, fire a round of incendiary bombs to dispel the fog!"
Faced with this situation, Bneton needed to figure out the enemy's situation for the first time, and as a special weapon in the army, it also came in handy at this time.
A magic cannon can match the density of the existing two companies, and the attack methods are also very diverse, and it is generally used as a backup support.
The magic cannons of the four battalions together are only twelve, but the salvo of these twelve cannons can directly wipe out a city in half a minute.
Several special fires flew into the canyon, deflagrating at special landing points in a straight line to disperse the fog.
Boneton, who is above the watchtower, also has the strength of the peak level of a master, although it is only a thin line away from the transcendental, but the strength is still very strong.
His eyes were like eagles, and even through the residual mist, he could see the situation in front of him clearly.
Within the thirty-kilometer-long canyon, there is no empty space on the ground at this moment, all of them are occupied by the undead, just such a density, the undead army has exceeded 10 million levels!
Without any hesitation, Buniton immediately ordered all the artillery to fire again, and at the same time picked up the magic communication phone, contacted Qingyuan City, and asked the lord Gudern for support!
Before leaving, Goodern had instructed him to contact him if there was a situation that could not be solved, and he would send reinforcements to help.
Tens of millions of undead attack, this is undoubtedly the time for the orcs to launch a general attack, such a huge number, even if you count the army that has not yet withdrawn, it is not easy to carry it.
Answering the phone, Bnetton quickly explained the current situation, and Goodern listened to it, left a sentence and hung up.
"Got it, the support forces will contact you later, so be careful to avoid and protect yourself."
