1184 Chapter 1184: Old 6

All the officers woke up instantly and nodded.

The reason why the Knights of the Kingdom are so arrogant and domineering is because the upper echelon of the Kingdom thinks highly of them. The annual military expenditure of the 10,000-man Knights exceeds the border by hundreds of thousands of troops, not to mention being able to attend high-level meetings and banquets at will. Senior officers were dissatisfied.

The army in Langebel Kingdom is divided into two types, one is the regular army, and the other is the knight order.

This is a country that is almost paranoid about knights' charge.

In addition to the Knights of the Langebel Kingdom that had just been wiped out, there were three other knights. Among them, the Royal Knights had a scale of 20,000 and had always been the king's trump card.

However, after watching today's battle, no one in the army on the border will regard the Knights as an ace force anymore, because they are completely vulnerable to the artillery of the Maxim Empire.

"Has the magic image been recorded?"

"It's recorded."

"Very good, send it to the capital!"

Manstein clapped his hands.

"Gentlemen, our war is not over yet. We can't sit still. Since the war has changed, we should change as soon as possible. We don't have the enemy's cannons now, but it doesn't mean we won't have them in the future. The first thing to do now is to convince Lange The nobles on the plain produced rifles for us and retrained the army. Starting today, we trade space for time and do not fight the enemy head-on. We follow reasonable selection of combat locations, rapid deployment of troops, reasonable distribution of troops, reasonable selection of combat timing, and the end of the battle. Withdraw quickly."

Manstein's plan was supported by many officers.

Their long-range weapons are bows and crossbows. The arrows shot by professionals can reach two hundred meters, but they can't shoot continuously for too long. From the second to the fourth level, they can only shoot a dozen or twenty arrows, and their arms are so sore. , You must take a good rest.

The only fortunate thing is that apart from the Knights, the Langebel Kingdom is followed by archers.

That's right, the archer was ordered to be a scholar, which shows his strength.

This was actually forced out by the knights. The knights charged to defeat the formation of the enemy, the infantry slowly advanced, and the archers quickly cleared the battlefield and shot the enemy.

Over time, the archers became the second main force of the Langebel Kingdom. Later, many professionals practiced archery hard, and gradually established the new system of today's army.

One-third of the professional army of the Langebel Kingdom has been assembled on the border, and the number of archers has reached a terrifying 50,000. These people will become the main force to prevent the Maxim Empire's army from continuing to attack.

Compared with the gunshots from rifles, the arrows brimming with vindictiveness can kill any target within sight without a sound.

………………

This time the attack of the Maxim Empire made the Eastern God Kingdom and the United Magic Empire ready to move. They sent elite troops to attack the Ancient Empire. However, both countries were old 6 and did not use heavy artillery immediately. Two cannons opened fire, and they were separated by a very long distance, as if there was a severe shortage of cannons.

This made the August Empire not too uncomfortable to fight. Instead, it relied on the professional troops to push back the coalition forces of the two countries. During the war during this period, they have wiped out at least tens of thousands of allied forces in the Outer Continent.

They also seized tens of thousands of usable rifles, but these rifles were all 'most advanced' single-shot breech-loading rifles, and the bullets were seriously insufficient.

In a strong attack, the rifle troops of the August Empire cooperated with the professionals, captured two lines of defense of the coalition forces in a row, and captured three 150mm mortars.

The mortar is a short gun, and the ratio of the caliber to the length of the barrel is usually below 1:12 to 1:13.

This kind of gun is a smoothbore artillery with a large firing angle, low muzzle velocity, and high arc trajectory; it has a short range and powerful projectiles, and is mainly used to destroy solid fortifications. Because of its short and thick body and similar shape to a stone mortar, it is called "mortar gun" in China.

Small-caliber, portable mortars were later developed into mortars.

This mortar was specially developed by the United Magic Empire for this war. Its principle is the mortar of the Melox Empire, but the quality of the barrel is very poor, and it can explode after a dozen rounds.

Taking down two positions and capturing such a valuable artillery greatly boosted the morale of the troops of the August Empire and accelerated the pace of attack. When the commanders in the rear received the army's capture of the third line of defense, they were stunned. .

This speed was too fast. When he flew into the air to watch the battlefield, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and quickly gave the order to retreat.

More than 200,000 professional elite troops rushed into the enemy's third line of defense.

The criss-cross trenches of the third line of defense make it impossible for soldiers to pass through quickly. At the same time, there are still a large number of supplies that have not been withdrawn everywhere, including ammunition that they are very scarce. Once a line of defense is taken down, they will be able to completely drive the allied forces of the Demon Cult back to the Outer Continent.

When the soldiers felt that they were winning, they were slightly stifled by deafening bangs.

Instructor-level powerhouses with the ability to fly took off one after another, ready to see what happened. An unprepared swordsman instructor just saw a black dot flying towards him, and subconsciously raised his sword to block it. For the artillery of the Demon Cult Alliance, they I have learned it a long time ago. With their strength, they can easily shoot the shells into the air.

The next moment, the huge force from the sword caused the swordsman instructor's face to change slightly, but before he had a chance to react, several shells flew over, directly smashing his body in mid-air.

Froth was flying, but before the blood foam hit the ground, the shells had already landed on the ground.

In just an instant, the entire third line of defense was submerged in gunpowder smoke. The soldiers rushing behind felt the ground trembling in horror, and then the position where the shells landed began to slowly move forward.

This frightened the ancient soldiers who were charging behind. The unknown is the scariest thing.

Especially in a place like the battlefield where life could be killed at any time.

The charging Austrian soldiers turned around and ran, but their speed was not as fast as the shells fell. As for the master masters and mentor masters, they all rushed to the forefront in order to attack, and they were the ones who survived.

"It's over!"

The commander of the ancient empire staggered and fell from the sky, spurting out a mouthful of old blood.

"The war has changed. Let His Majesty report everything today. Hot weapons are the protagonists of future wars. If the status quo cannot be changed, the empire will be in danger."

The adjutant nodded quickly and was about to write a report, but the next moment he saw the commander draw out his sword and kill himself.
