Night falls.

The sky was unusually dark tonight. In the distance, clouds pressed down on the horizon. Obscuring the starry sky and the moon. Only the moon, occasionally faintly shining through the gaps in the clouds.

Above the city walls. The defenders lit torches. Instead of the wounded Miró General Diroyantar, after observing the orc camp in the distance with a telescope for a while, he muttered in a low voice: "Goddess bless." ”

It's nighttime. The orc camp in the distance is particularly terrifying, and it is brilliant among the orc camps that stretch for dozens of miles.

Countless torches and fires littered the orc camp. Look. The firelight of those dozens of miles is particularly shocking.

And this time. Above the sky, there was a soft rumbling sound.

Hidden in the clouds. Hot air balloon airships after hot air balloons, revealing their silhouettes. Thanks to God, the night sè and the clouds give them plenty of cover.

One by one, the hot air balloon airships quietly flew above the head of the orc camp......

Raid plan, officially begins!

For this operation, the Air Force under the command of General Andrew. At one time, more than 1,500 of the largest geothermal air balloon airships were dispatched. There are also 200 small ground-escort airships.

Even though it was night, the orc camp below was particularly obvious from the air—these orcs really shouldn't have lit so many torches at night!, the Imperial soldier on the airship muttered in his heart.

Those bright fires, at this time, allowed the soldiers of the Airship to Ascend to the Empire not to worry about aiming at the target in the dark.

One by one, geothermal air balloons flew quietly over the heads of the orc camp, and a large number of hot air balloons formed a formation in the air. The first air forces of the Empire were forming a dense formation in a dense formation as they had been in the same way as they had been trained in peace, carefully maintaining order and spacing.

Under the faint moonlight. Hanging under the airship were the secret weapons produced in the Imperial Factory that surpassed the entire era, the weapons that Duke Tulip named "bombs", like grapes on the vine one by one.

The night provided cover for the Imperial Air Force, but it also caused some trouble for the Imperial Air Force - in this era when there were no means of communication, the Air Force could also use airships to equip ground binoculars and observers while training in Pingrì. Follow the command according to the flag of the flagship of the airship. But at night...... High in the sky, the flag is unrecognizable.

And at this time, it's more based on feelings.

In the orc army, in the tent, the orc warriors were sleeping, and occasionally the orc soldiers patrolling the ground did not notice the difference between the sky and the earth.

Even the orc warriors on the lookout were a little lax. Only occasionally look in the direction of the human walls in the distance.

The Orc's Giant Rock didn't sleep, it was in its own tent, with a few of its own kin. Several leaders of the rhinoceros clan discussed something, and the rocky land was in a bad mood, although the white rhinoceros general Bystin vowed to wash away the shame with victory, but this previous battle. Let the rock already understand. Humans don't seem to be as weak as they think.

Seem...... That jīng spirit king said that he was not wrong.

"Tomorrow there is a fight. I want to ......"

The rock was about to say something. But at this time there was a loud bang. Interrupted it!!

Rumble!!

In the middle of the night, this explosive sound. Break the silence at once! The sound of the explosion seemed to be very close to the tent in the rocky ground. Immediately afterward, there was a firelight outside!

The orc leaders in the tent froze for a moment, then immediately rushed out with a shout!

At this time, the human ground air raid has been fully launched!

After the first bomb was dropped, it landed right on top of a tent. After the explosion of gunpowder. The light of the fire quickly set the tent on fire! The sleeping orc warrior woke up and rushed out of the tent that had turned into a ball of flames!

In the dark. Bombs exploded. Not only did it bring flames, but this kind of bomb after the improvement of the Northwest was also filled with a considerable part of subway pieces and iron nails and other things, and once it exploded, it immediately became the kind of "flowering bomb" that Du Wei knew in his previous life

Pieces of iron and nails shook in the explosion. It has formed a lot of kills for the orcs.

And above the sky. String after string of bombs. Whistling down from the sky and pouring out into the orc camp!

It's almost just a few breaths in between. In the camp of the orc army. There were already fires everywhere! There were explosions all around. Most orcs have yet to wake up from the shock. More and more orcs struggled out of the tents and barracks. Dazed, running around the camp and shouting.

Many orcs hadn't even figured out where the explosion came from, but there was a fire all around, and the sound of the secret explosion made the orcs scream with a miserable smell.

"What's going on! Love!!"

The rock roared angrily.

No one can answer.

Because at the moment most orcs are in their hearts. Asking the same question!

Looking down from above. More than half of the first round of bombing. In this land orc camp, countless sparks have bloomed.

Countless orcs were screaming and screaming. Running blindly, but waiting for them, there are more bombs falling from the sky!

"Fly forward, keep flying, strengthen the depth !!" In the air, because the night could not be commanded with a flag, the soldiers could only desperately tear their throats and shout at their comrades.

Although this is very inefficient. It also brought some trouble to the smooth progress of the human plan, but the orcs below are still in chaos!

One by one, tents and barracks were engulfed in the firelight, and the orcs crowded around the camp and ran back and forth. But I don't know where I'm going, those bombs. Some land fell on the barracks, and some land fell into the orc pile, and the fire and the shrapnel of the flowering bullets were constantly bringing killing to the orcs.

Finally, when the first round of human bombardment was over, the orc barracks in the bombed area were completed. Even the orcs in the chaos ran back and forth and trampled on it. It also caused some orcs to die at the feet of their companions.

This time. Finally, the sharp-eyed orcs have spotted the enemy!

"Heavenly!! They !! in heaven"

More and more orcs raised their heads and saw the chaotic formation of human airships in the sky, but at this time, the orcs were more shocked in their hearts: Could it be that those humans also have the ability to fly like jīng spirits?!

The human bombardment is carried out in formation, every 300 airships, when the first round of bombing airships has completed the mission and returned to the ground, the second round of ground airships have also flown to the top of the orcs!

"Look closely!Drop bombs at the most dense places!!"

The observers on the airship roared vigorously.

When the second round of ground bombs were dropped, the orcs finally began to fight back sporadically.

However, such a counterattack is obviously a bit weak.

Because of the lack of archers among the orcs, especially the orcs who are in charge of the main attack this time are the hoof. Those orcs, who are mainly cattle and horses, are strong and strong, and have land and brute strength. But a class like the Archer is more about skill than brute force. Because of congenital defects. Archers have always been very, very rare among orcs.

Moreover, sporadically, archers began to design into the sky. But the night was chaotic. makes such a shè blow lack accuracy, and ...... Those human airships are too tall!

There are only a few jīng sharp archers. In order to shè the arrow shè to such a high position, most of the archers who blindly shè hit. It's just a waste of their precious arrows and strength.

During the second round of bombardment. More bombs were pouring down from the sky, and more and more orcs became flustered and panicked.

Although the rock had ordered his own guards to act as overseers to maintain order at the first time. Even killing nearly two hundred orcs running in a panic in one fell swoop could only barely slow down the spread of panic.

"What the hell are these humans!!" The orcs are furious. The rocks are also angry.

Could it be a group attack by magicians??

The two rounds of bombardment lasted for nearly an hour.

In an hour, a moment. Large swaths of the Orc Lands were engulfed in flames, and a large number of orcs lost their armor and weapons. Running around, running blindly! The orc camp is too big, and although the human bombardment has been strengthened as deep as possible, it still only covers a small half of the area.

It's just that the frightened orcs in those bombed areas spread out more and more around! The orcs rushed to the safe areas in a crowded manner, trying to dodge the blows from the air, but instead spread the panic!

Those areas that are still safe around. Soon they were overwhelmed by the panicked orcs! Those intact tents and barracks were trampled by the orcs, and countless orcs ran out of the barracks when they heard the movement. Blindly chilled into the rout ranks, more and more people were trampled to death and injured!

At this time, the rock that is a giant. Stand up!

This is a Saint-Rank powerhouse among the orcs. Grabbed a long knife. Then it threw its knife at an airship in the sky!

Under the majestic power of the Holy Rank powerhouse, the big sword immediately burst out with a ball of golden light, like a meteor rising into the sky!

Although at an altitude of several hundred meters. The airship couldn't dodge it at all, and it was concentrated with a bang and turned into pieces!

"Calming !!!!!!!!!!!"

Panicked orcs. I heard a roar like thunder! Like a hammer struck hard in the hearts of the orcs!

"Calming!! Calming !!!!!!"

The rock roared with all its might, and the power of the Holy Rank was so powerful that its voice quickly spread in all directions.

"Kill the panicked!! Blind runner kill!! Those who disturb the morale of the army will kill !!"

The majestic roar of the rocks retreated into the night. After roaring a few times, it finally gathered the surrounding rebels, and it quickly led a group of people to run around the camp without stopping, and the powerful power of the Holy Order gave it enough speed to slash all the way through without mercy. Kill the orcs who dare to take the lead in running!

With blood and cruelty. After suppressing the other orcs. It began to give commands one after another!

By the end of the third round of the human land, almost seven or eight miles of the camp had been reduced to ruins, and the orcs had crowded and run around.

The rock giants ran back and forth with a large number of rhinoceros guards to maintain order. Soon, like a snowball, there were more and more soldiers in the ground.

"Crossbow Bolts! Push the Bolts Out!!"

The fourth round of human air raids came a little shorter than scheduled. Because the formations of the human air force themselves had some confusion, in the night sky. Poor visibility. So that some of the formations almost crashed into each other on their own.

The fourth round of airships flew above the orcs. The rocks have already taken a group of rebel troops who have settled down and have begun an organized counterattack.

In the orc army, some of the dwarve-made crossbow arrows were removed.

Although there are not many of them. There are less than a hundred crossbow arrows, but this long-range weapon is just enough to restrain the enemies in the sky.

Just flew to the fourth round of airship formation above the head of the orc camp. Immediately they were attacked head-on! Dozens of crossbow arrows were fired into the air, although the orcs had a flawed talent for striking the ground. But the cover shè of dozens of crossbow arrows. Several airships were still hit at the front, and three of them were hit by hot air balloons, and soon turned into a ball of fire and fell from the sky!

Humans had to increase the altitude of their flight, but the altitude increased. But it also makes the bombing accuracy of humans less accurate.

A group of orcs had calmed down under the orders of the officers and leaders, and began to quiet down from the panic. Instead of running blindly, they began to retreat in all directions in a measured manner, and some orcs had learned to dismantle the planks and hold them above their heads. More orcs grabbed their shields.

The rock snatched a bow from the hands of an orc archer beside him. But it was in the midst of excitement. I used too much force, but I tore the bow off in one fell swoop. Then the furious orc giant. simply rushed to the barracks. Brought out a bundle of spears!

At this time, the Holy Rank powerhouse showed its power!

A spear, thrown with great force. Like golden sè meteors flying into the sky one by one. Shoot down one human airship after another with precision!

Seeing those aerial enemies shot down, the orcs erupted in cheers in a panic. Panicked. Stabilization has finally begun.

Among the orcs, some high-ranking warriors also began to grab their spears and throw them into the sky! It's hard for even a high-tier warrior to throw a spear that far from the ground!

Subsequently, those high-level warriors saw that their strength was not enough, so they simply went berserk consciously!!

One by one, high-level orc warriors began their orc madness with the orc secret instinct. In an instant, he increased his combat power by about three times!

More and more spears flew into the sky. The human ground air force could clearly feel the pressure increase dramatically, and those spears became taller and more powerful!

In the fourth round of bombing, humans lost more than 40 hot air balloons. The effectiveness of the bombing was far lower.

After General Andrew, who was in the rear, got the news from the front. Immediately and decisively ordered the cancellation of the last round of bombing.

Tonight's results were brilliant enough. Now that the orcs have stabilized order, there is no need to waste the lives of precious air pilots.

Chaos in the orc camp. It wasn't until dawn that it all calmed down.

More than ten miles of the orc camp was affected, and the most severely damaged area. Almost all the barracks were destroyed.

Most of the fires in the camp have been extinguished. Occasionally, there was black smoke rising from the ashes. On the ground, the scorched earth and the blood of the orcs solidified into large swaths of black and red sè.

Dead orc corpses. It was carried together, the ruins of the barracks in the camp. And discarded armor, weapons......

Many injured Orcs were being treated, one by one. The face was full of fireworks, some ground was burned, and some ground was wounded by shrapnel. Some land was trampled on by his companions in the chaos.

When the number of the loss came up, it made the rock angry.

This human air raid caused the rock to lose the lives of nearly 2,000 orc soldiers. And the wounded reached nearly six thousand! The seriously injured and incapacitated orcs were even closer to a thousand!

That's not a big number. Because although the air force is very advanced in its combat methods, the power of the bombs in this world is too small! are far from enough to form a lethal kill, as for those flowering bullets on the ground shrapnel. It can only cause damage to orcs. But it's not fatal.

Most of the dead orcs. It's just because of the chaos and trampling on each other.

The battle went well, but without the knowledge of either side. Humanity has lost an extremely valuable opportunity to expand its gains!!

"Idiot!! It's just stupid!!"

A few days later, in Dìdū Dewey, he received a military report from the front, which was not surprised by the outcome of the first round of the Orc siege, and he was confident that he had participated in the main fortress of the Kaspersky Line.

Judging from the battle report, the first battle was fought beautifully, first deliberately showing weakness to lure the enemy to attack. Deliberately let the orc army climb the city wall.

Then ignite the mechanism of the trench position, engulf the heavy soldiers under the opponent with a sea of fire, and make the orcs on the city wall become a lone army. and then eat each other in one bite, this battle is quite beautiful. The biggest results were also reaped.

Based on calculations and estimates after the fact. The orcs probably lost more than 10,000 or more. It can be said that it is a big victory.

Can make Du Wei angry. is the second article in this war report. About the air raid on the ground at night!

"Stupid! stupid!!"

After Du Wei finished reading it. Smacked the table hard. Under the irritation. Tear the battle report in your hand to smithereens immediately!

"Night air raids! Rostock really wanted to think of it!! Even if Rostock doesn't understand. Could it be that Andre is also a fool! Just listen to Rostock's chaos! Air raids at night! Damn! I think this primitive air force is the US military in the 21 st century! There is no ground guidance! There are no advanced observation instruments! There is no survey of the coordinates of the dense ground! Night air raids? Just rely on the soldiers at high altitude to bomb with their eyes and feelings??!! What a waste of our ammunition!! There is no electronic communication system, that environment at night. There is no means of command in the air, and even the slightest flag cannot be seen! How can you command the bombing? It is simply a random bombing!!

Du Wei's expression was a little distorted, and he slapped the table fiercely: "It's funny! It's funny!" How many airships crashed because visibility in the sky was too low at night and crashed together?? it. You shouldn't have gone to an air raid at night!! This orc is obviously that the jīng spirit clan did not participate in the war!! There is no means of attacking us from the air! So why don't you go to the air during the day!! The enemy does not have effective means of air interdiction. Is there a difference between day and night??? What the hell is in Rostock's head!! Why don't you wait until the night????

The more Du Wei spoke, the more annoyed he became. In the end, he even roared: "And what else do you say in the end, according to estimates, the air raid was a great success?? Wounded thousands?? and hurt thousands!! Since you can kill thousands of enemies, you must be in chaos in the orc camp!! This kind of time. How can you not go out of the city and rush over with ground troops to attack!! Since the air raid can throw the opponent's camp into chaos. Such a great opportunity. If you can send an army to attack on the ground, it will be easy for the opponent to blow up the camp!! Hundreds of thousands of orc armies once bombarded the camp. Just use the cavalry to drive them away. The results of this battle can be expanded at least dozens of times!! If you're lucky, you might be able to drive the orcs back into the frozen forest in one fell swoop!! Andre this idiot!! Rostock does not understand. You Andrea have been with me in the Northwest for two years, and how many times have I talked about local tactics. Have you forgotten all about it!!! Aerial bombardment. Caught in chaos. Then the ground forces followed the sweep!!! That's the way to go!! I've never heard that you can defeat an enemy without ground forces and just by bombarding from the air!! There's no damn air force like this in the 21st century! This primitive hot air balloon. How dare you use it like this?? There are no ground follow-up forces. Only by air strikes??

The U.S. military fought Iraq. Air Force bombing plus missiles. Such a strong air attack must rely on the follow-up of several divisions and ground troops to defeat the enemy!! Do you think that this hot air balloon is composed of a primitive air force that is stronger than the US military??!

It's not really bombing! It's just a sāo disturbance! It's a sāo disturbance at best!!!

Du Wei was alone in the room, slamming the table and stomping on the wall, and fired a fierce fire.

He roared angrily. Even the guards who were guarding in the distance outside the dean's office heard it, and everyone looked at each other. I don't know why the Duke is so angry...... Did the front line lose? But I heard the news from the ground. It looks like we've won two battles in a row.

Can Du Wei not be angry? Can he not be angry?

Chance! Precious opportunity just slipped out of my hand!!

In the midst of the war. Missed opportunities. This is to be punished!!

Based on the current situation from the front, it is clear that the sinners north of the Kaspersky Line are a simple orc army. No Jīng Spirits! No Air Power!!

Not at this time. Unleash the full power of the Air Force. Bully each other hard. Do you want to wait until the other party sends the jīng spirit clan up before fighting?

Damn!

From the data, there is also this battle report. It also describes in detail the aftermath of the air raid on the orcs. What a mess the camp is!!

。 If 30,000 ...... were sent at that time No, even 10,000 cavalry! Rushing over while the other party is in chaos can completely blow up the orc army!!

In this era of cold weapons. Lack of effective instant messengers, hundreds of thousands of primitive cold weapons army. Once the battalion is bombed, unless the commander is a god. And absolutely uncontrollable - the situation too!!

Then, with good luck. You can make the opponent's army fall apart and drive them back to the Frozen Forest!!

Right now......

"It's too late now. Du Wei was angry enough, sat down heavily on the chair, sighed long, and said to himself, "It's late! The orcs have tasted the power of our air force, but they are now on guard. In the case of the next air raid. There's no way to let them panic anymore. And. Once the air force of the Jīng Spirit Clan came up. It is difficult to say how much this pure 'bombing force' can do...... Alas...... Andrea, Andrea, those tactics I taught you, did you *** throw them all into the back of your head!!"

Wasted opportunity. It's a place of retribution!!

At the front, Andre was also annoyed, he angrily threw a document on the ground, and shouted at the local officer who came to give orders in front of him: "Why didn't the local army in the city dispatch!" Is that the explanation?"

The officer was furious in the face of Andrea. There is also some helplessness. His level is too low. Don't dare to argue with this general. Just said slowly: "General Andrea, Lord Rostock means that your army is a new army after all. We can't afford to take too many risks...... Of course. After this air strike, we have confirmed the power of this army of yours. Then after this ground test, fight in the future. We'll be able to execute the new tactics you propose. It's just a test, you know. If you are not sure. It was risky to send troops at night to raid the enemy's fortified fortifications head-on. ”

"Grasp ...... You have to wait until you are sure to do anything......" Andre's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth.

Finally. He let out a long sigh.

He understood. No matter how confident you are. No matter how confident Duke Tulip is. But for General Rostock, the commander of the Storm Regiment, he did not know about the Air Force. Do not understand the power of the Air Force.

So, he had to see tangible evidence. Only by proving the capabilities of the air force can he be convinced.

There's no way around it...... As Duke Tulip said, this is an army that is ahead of its time. But most of the generals in this era have no concept of such an army!

Right now. It seems that after Rostock saw the results of this air strike. I finally believe in my own air force...... But it was a great opportunity!!

For the first time in his life, General Andre felt a trace of dissatisfaction and suspicion in his heart with his old boss, General Rostock!

If...... It would be nice if the commander of the front line was Lord Duke Tulip......

"This is an official document from Du Wei?"

In the palace, in the study of the Regent's Land, the Vice-Minister of Military Affairs Camiciro had a strange expression. Standing in front of Prince Chen, he seemed speechless.

Prince Chen's face was a little pale, he didn't sleep well last night. The two victorious ground reports from the front made him a little excited.

He didn't immediately look at Du Wei's official letter, but said with a smile: "What's the matter? Did our Duke write a letter to General Andre to ask for credit? This time his air force is indeed doing a good job." ”

"Uh...... No. Camisiro smiled wryly.

"Isn't it?" Prince Chen shook his head: "I know." Andre has now become a close confidant of Dewey. With such a big victory, didn't Du Wei say a few good words for his subordinates?"

Camisiro didn't dare to worry anymore. Simply grit your teeth. Straight said: "Your Highness." This official document. It is the Duke of Tulip as the general of the emperor [**] side. A copy of the ...... sent to the High Command through official channels Impeachment!"

"Impeachment?" Prince Chen smiled: "What did he say?"

In his official letter, he severely criticized General Rostock, the commander of the front-line field, and General Andre, the commander of the Air Force, for missing the plane...... He also said. If you miss a good opportunity, you will be punished. ”

Prince Chen: "............"
