Chapter 938: Chapter 938: Anti-Cannon Magic Shield
The magic shield is not mainly for defense, but also for detonating the magic circle mainly for artillery missiles.
The magic circle is divided into two layers. The first layer is the detonation layer. When the cannonball falls to the detonation layer, it will be detonated by the trigger magic in the detonation layer, losing its original function.
When the detonated fragments fall on the second layer of defensive shields, their power will be greatly reduced. When they fall on the city wall, their power is no more than that of ordinary crossbow bolts, and it is difficult to threaten fully armed ordinary soldiers.
A powerful magic shield like the Magic City cannot be developed with the current strength of the Melox Empire.
The artillery position that the Maxim Empire fired first was obviously a decoy. It was waiting for the artillery of the Fort Alendin to fire, and then reversed the artillery position of the fortress.
Shaar's calculations were very good, but he didn't expect that Fort Alentin would have such a powerful magic shield.
However, this does not affect his planning, at least he can test the maximum range of the artillery in Fort Alendin.
When Shaar had just ordered the artillery from the decoy position to evacuate, the artillery of Fort Alentin opened fire.
The shells accurately landed on the artillery position of the bait, blasting the 20 100mm field guns on the position into scrap iron, but the artillery suffered little loss.
After they fired the artillery, they withdrew from the position immediately, leaving only the artillery and the dummies that lured the enemy to bomb.
The artillery fire covered their entire artillery position, and one of the gun barrels was directly blown into the sky.
Shaar put down the binoculars in his hand, and the observer next to him ran over and shouted: "The enemy's artillery is located in the fortress, DC area..."
Shaar waved his hands irritably, because he already felt that the caliber of the opponent's counterattack artillery was not large, just like the bait positions he had set up.
"Let the infantry advance slowly." Shaar ordered.
The infantry could only use skirmishers to approach the Alundin Fortress. The machine guns and mortars deployed in the Alundin Fortress began to fire. The intensive firepower made the advancing troops of the Maxim Imperial Army unable to raise their heads, and they all temporarily In the bunker, as long as the soldiers hide in the bunker for too long and do not move, they will definitely be taken care of by mortars.
An infantry regiment that took the lead in the attack lost more than half of it and retreated in just an hour.
The city wall of Ellendin Fortress was built from the original magic city wall, and the magic defense was already high. Later, after being taken over by the Melox Empire, a large number of reaction force magic circles were arranged, which can greatly reduce the damage of bullets and shells to the city wall. Coupled with the anti-bombardment magic circle developed by the elves, the defense of the Alendin Fortress has been raised to a terrifying level.
In the current situation where artillery cannot be used, only the forbidden spell can break such a fortress.
"General, we can strike!"
An officer stood up and said.
Xia Ya said angrily: "What kind of air strikes, aviation magic forces? Don't you know where the birthplace of aviation magic forces is?"
Aslan created the air magic unit, and also carried forward the air magic unit.
The Melox Empire possesses the most elite, largest, and most advanced air magic unit in the entire continent.
The air magic unit of the Maxim Empire developed the slowest, even worse than the Eastern Gods. Because of the premature use of the machinery industry and the failure to protect the environment, four provinces of the Maxim Empire suffered serious pollution.
In heavily polluted provinces, the magic elements also became chaotic and thin. Over time, the proportion of people's magic talent in the four provinces of the Maxim Empire reached the lowest level in history.
These four industrial provinces are all provinces with heavy population, more than a quarter of the empire's population, which also makes the Maxim Empire have the least number of magician professions among the other three countries.
Foer also noticed this problem later, but the early stage of industrial development must be accompanied by heavy pollution. This is an inevitable problem, and he can only focus on training magicians in other areas.
In fact, the provinces that supported the Maxim Empire in the early stage were more or less industrially polluted, which also made the development of the Maxim Empire's air magic unit very slow, and some people even proposed to build a new type of air force.
The officer was so stunned by Shaar's blunt words that he couldn't speak for a long time.
The size of the aviation magician troops of the Melox Empire is comparable to that of the capital of magic, but the combat effectiveness has been improved by several percent. The reason is very simple, the overall strength of the aviation magicians.
The minimum strength of the aviation magicians in the Melox Empire is high-level magicians, and the other countries are mainly intermediate-level. Because of the lack of magicians in the Maxim Empire, they have also cultivated low-altitude and short-distance aviation magicians.
The magic guides of these aviation magic troops are composed of junior magicians. Their magic power is not as good as that of intermediate magicians, and their control over magic power is also much worse. Flying is mainly used for camp defense to avoid being attacked by air magic forces from other countries.
"General, what should we do next?" Someone asked unwillingly.
Obviously, they have realized the difficulty of Fort Alendine.
"General, let's gather all the artillery and bombard the magic shield of Fort Alundin at the same time. I don't believe that the magic shield of Fort Alendin has no upper limit of defense."
Xia Ya almost pointed at the other party's nose and yelled.
"Can't you see that the magic shield of the enemy's fortress is not a magic shield in the traditional sense, but a detonation shield on the periphery. The shell detonates on the upper layer, and the shock wave after the explosion is blocked by the lower shield, leaving only fragments falling on the On the city wall, this kind of lethality is almost like a bullet."
"The Melox Empire perfectly combines magic and technology." Sima, the intelligence chief next to him, sighed.
"Don't be anxious. Today is the first day of the attack. We mainly focus on probing. We don't rush for a while. We need to slowly find out the internal situation of the fortress." Shaar said.
All the officers in the headquarters nodded in unison.
"Immediately send someone to check the surroundings of Fort Alendin to see if there are any other paths to enter the fortress, or tunnels, and if they can contact our dark lines in Fort Alendine, I hope they can bring us Important information..."
Shaar gave orders in an orderly manner.
A group of officers quickly regained their composure and quickly carried out the orders given by Shaar.
The 155mm heavy cannon in his hand, Char didn't plan to expose it yet, he wanted to inflict heavy damage on Fort Alentin at a critical moment.
Inside the Alundin Fortress, the Maxim Empire agents who received the order acted quickly. Several groups secretly contacted and held a meeting in the cellar of a certain residence.
The Maxim Empire has been infiltrating Fort Alundin for so many years, so they naturally have their confidence.
The number of non-combatants exceeded three figures, and there were dozens of combatants, one of whom became a mid-level officer in the fortress.
