Chapter 626 War Machine
If there is no catastrophe caused by the death of all things, perhaps this war that brings the Cecil Legion to the forefront will be delayed for a long time - but there is no if, and the death of all things will set off a war in the Plains of the Holy Spirit Man-made natural disasters, then the steel legion from the southern border will inevitably appear on the stage.
This steel army is still young, and the training of tactical and ideological soldiers still needs to be honed, and the battlefield of the Holy Spirit Plain is their best training ground.
At dawn, the 1st Corps, which kept a secret and rapid march, came into contact with the first blockade of the Crystal Cluster Corps in the small plain area south of Hongfeng City. This inevitable encounter was the starting point of the entire battle. Beginning with the three naval artillery bombardments of the Ergon River, the corps' chariot troops assembled into sharp arrows and launched a fierce attack on the crystal cluster defense line.
The iron-grey giant eagle swept through the bottom of the clouds, bringing the scene of the battlefield into the eyes of the rider. Sonia Frostleaf looked down at the scene of the legion's attack front, and took all the fighting methods of the Cecil people into her eyes—— She saw that the tanks with strong shields and powerful guns assembled into an attacking array, attacking the weak points of the cluster army's defense line with maximum firepower, and at the same time pushing forward, although the cluster army encountered a sudden attack, although Fierce is not afraid of death, but it is impossible to maintain the front line in the face of this centralized artillery bombardment - whether it is the strengthened flesh and blood, or the solid fortifications formed by relying on the city wall and magic shield, they all collapsed quickly under the concentrated artillery fire.
After opening such a gap, the offensive array formed by the tanks will begin to accelerate, and quickly disperse into several small sharp arrows during the march, and begin to further tear the gap in the defense line by continuous advancement and shelling. At the same time, following the battle The infantry of the coordinated attack of the chariots will also enter the battlefield and begin to further infiltrate the enemy positions with their "core chariots" as the center. They will be responsible for destroying close-range enemies that may threaten the chariot, or indicating The orientation of the enemy fortifications guides tank shelling until the end of the operation.
During this entire process, the long-range magic artillery located on the rear high ground will maintain almost uninterrupted shelling-the shelling covers the rear of the defense line of the Crystal Cluster Legion, and it almost completely eliminates the possibility of the enemy's reinforcements, and a large number of emergency The gathered cluster infected were blocked for several kilometers, and they continued to die under the fire until the entire line of defense disappeared, until their originally safe "rear" became a new front...
Such an attack would consume a staggering number of physical shells (even energy weapons would burn a lot of focusing crystals), but the Cecil's stockpile of weapons should be enough to last the war - Sonia knew that the entire The southern border has been preparing for this war since last year (in fact, they may have been preparing for the war since the establishment of the duchy, but their initial enemy may not be a crystalized monster), one factory, one production line, Thousands of workers, who work around the clock to produce cannonballs and weapon crystals, assemble guns and chariot chassis around the clock, metals from the east, magic materials from the royal family, and a lot of resources in the south's own reserves , almost all were transformed into these things that roared through the air and exploded on the battlefield—
And to this day,
Until this moment, the factories in the southern border are still producing non-stop, and even new production lines are being added every day. Every day, there are countless materials along the Gorgon River, along the Kingdom Road, along the The temporary highway in the war zone was sent to the front line by mechanical ships or magic vehicles.
The entire southern border seems to have become a huge machine. All resources are integrated into the feeding hopper of this machine. Gears and levers are rattling, and their weapons and equipment are even more and more.
Gawain Cecil called this state the "wartime system".
"The magic cluster was observed in the northwest c12 area, which is the reinforcement of the enemy." Sonia Frostleaf controlled the giant eagle to skim through the clouds and mist. In the glimpse of the earth tilting and the height decreasing, she sent back the latest observation information. , and escaped the area before the cross lightning net from the ground enveloped itself, "Call for naval gun support."
"This is the Trailblazer, received, arrived a minute after the bombardment."
At the beginning, the tactics of the Cecil Corps were not so clever.
They did build a new and powerful army, but this army was completely new to themselves, for which Gawain Cecil designed a series of supporting tactics and training programs, but from the command It is difficult for officers to soldiers to understand those contents out of thin air - they can only perform training mechanized, relying on absolute trust in the lord, to record those skills that are not supported by any actual combat evidence, and in the beginning of the war for a period of time Among them, hardly any commander successfully implemented those training contents.
Sonia has seen with her own eyes that the tanks swarmed into the enemy's line, and the infantry who were supposed to attack together were left behind by them (in fact, no soldiers were run over by their own tanks, and the previous mechanical training was very effective) , I have also seen the combat team nervously and exaggeratedly describe the situation on the front line, causing the commander in the rear to misjudge the size of the enemy, which not only wastes firepower support, but also makes the original attack plan a mess.
If it weren't for those advanced weapons and equipment being powerful enough, if it wasn't for the fact that the Crystal Cluster Legion was at a loss when facing the southern army, the army of the Principality of Cecil would not have been able to advance so fast.
In the command car, Gao Wen was learning about the situation of the entire front through the magic net communication. Just now, a company withdrew from the battle because of an accident.
They made a mistake and entered the enemy's encirclement during the march. Although they finally broke through, seven of the twelve chariots were damaged and the casualties were serious. They had to be withdrawn for repair.
The prepared company stepped up to the vacancy of the fourth company and continued to dismantle the giants' defense line.
The battlefield of the Holy Spirit Plain is the best stage for actual combat, and the legion of the Principality of Cecil will get the best experience here, and until now, the soldiers and commanders are still constantly running in and proficient in what they have learned on the training ground. , what they are doing now is not good enough, but in Gawain's view, they are making rapid progress.
This should be attributed to the soldiers' literacy rate.
More than 80% of the soldiers have basic writing and computing skills, which is enough to allow them to have better logical thinking, enough to allow them to quickly accumulate relatively complex battlefield experience and understand various instructions from superiors.
On the other hand, the tactics conceived by Gawain are more or less bound by the inherent experience of the earth, and may not necessarily adapt to the actual situation of this world. In this regard, the commanders of the legion must learn to adapt to local conditions and learn to actively adjust. - This also depends on the higher education level of the soldiers and the professionalism of the non-commissioned officers.
After this war, the Cecil Legion may not be a master of a hundred battles, but at least it is a modern legion that is qualified and can properly use their advanced equipment.
The Cecilians were advancing northward, at an astonishing speed, like a beast out of control.
This "propulsion" can even be described as "charge".
When Heaton woke up in amazement and listened to the report of the subordinate in charge of commanding the southern defense line, the first line of defense set up in the plain area by the Legion of God's Evil had disappeared - not by being broken through, but by telepathy. Disappeared.
It was as if it had been burned to ashes, and a gust of wind blew it clean.
A priest who has been completely transformed into the form of gods and sins lowered his head and reported nervously and slightly terrified: "They have broken through the line along the Cypress Manor and are now attacking our second line of defense... Gorgon Huge warships appeared on the river...there were six battalions...no, nine battalions just lost contact again!!"
Heaton stared: "How did they get so close?! Why hasn't anyone found out before?!"
The dark priests were silent, but Heaton himself did not expect to get answers from these populations - the attack of the Cecils was already an established fact, and it is meaningless to study their previous course of action now.
"They're here for Hongfeng...Damn...how could they be so fast!!" He cursed in a low voice, finally feeling terrified at the power of Cecil for the first time in his heart.
He was indeed afraid of the pioneer who came back from the dead, and the power to unify the southern border within a year... but that should have been in the past!
The End of Everything has built a powerful army of gods and evil, this powerful army can even subvert the entire Ansu Kingdom within a month, it should be extremely powerful, and it is fighting against the royal family and the aristocratic army in the east. During the process, this legion has indeed shown its strength, but... what is going on now?
"Quickly summon the converts in the plains, strengthen the second line of defense, and let the legions in the south retreat to block the back roads of the Cecils - attack them from behind!"
After a short period of consternation, Heaton forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and began to use the best plan he could think of to deal with the Cecil's attack-he noticed one thing, that the Cecil was They rushed directly to the Red Maple Plain through some kind of secret march, which means that the army of gods and evils stationed in their south is still intact... Then as long as they can block the Cecil people in the north, the army of gods and evils in the south can be protected from the enemy. attack from the rear.
Even if that Clod was here, he probably couldn't come up with a better plan.
However, shortly after his order was given, a priest in the form of a giant trembled slightly and said, "Your Excellency... Our second line of defense... has disappeared... the enemy... the enemy..."
The priest couldn't even speak completely, but Heaton didn't need to hear any more information from the other party--
He heard a faint explosion!
The wind of magic swept up out of thin air, and Heaton's figure was quickly enveloped in a mass of twisted black vines. In the next second, he reached the southern city wall of Hongfeng through the vine network set up all over the city.
He saw a huge plume of smoke rising from the southern plain. Many metal vehicles with peculiar shapes were rolling over the scorched earth and heading towards this side. The transmuters who were patrolling the plains were constantly being bombed. and flashes, and those explosions and flashes of apparently magical effects are emitted by those metallic things.
As described in the previous intelligence, those were the Cecil Corps from the south.
The guards of Red Maple City acted at the first time. Countless tall giants of gods and evil walked up to the city wall to hold up the defense line. The rune stone bricks on the red maple city wall glowed brightly, and a vague magic barrier began to appear in the air. Rapid formation - As one of the important cities in the middle of the Holy Spirit Plain, Hongfeng also has a city-level shield system, but it is not a heavy fortress like a rock fortress after all, and its shield device cannot be maintained for a long time. When threatened, the shield will temporarily rise.
Heaton watched the magic in the air gradually condense into a barrier, but before the shield was completely closed, he suddenly saw a flash of light in the smoke in the distance——
A strange looking thing was wrapped in a light blue magical airflow, and it flew straight through the air. It passed through the red maple barrier that had not yet been closed, and fell straight to the city wall.
A divine evil giant transformed from an eastern superhuman stretched out his hand and grabbed the flying thing curiously-the strength of the thing was so great that a powerful commander-level giant was holding it After that, he was almost taken out on the spot, the giant stepped back again and again, and stepped on a series of terrible pits on the city wall before he could barely stand, and then curiously raised the obelisk-like metal lump in front of him: "This is What? Except for this air mass, there doesn't seem to be any magic in it..."
"Idiot!!" Heaton roared furiously after being stunned - under normal circumstances, grabbing weapons thrown by the enemy with bare hands on the battlefield has always been regarded as a symbol of great strength and superb martial arts, but what the Cecilians hit Can it be caught?
There's already a lot of experience within the Doomsday Society: When fighting the Cecilians, no matter what they throw at you, even a pumpkin pie, you must never reach out and grab it!
Almost everything they throw out will blow up!
However, before he reminded him, the "metal bump" in the giant's hand had already exploded.
The mechanism activates the preset rune mechanism - now, it has a magical response.
The huge flash of the explosion completely enveloped the reckless giant commander, and countless shattered crystals and metals splashed in all directions. Heaton immediately propped up his shield and blocked all the fragments that might injure himself, and waited until the explosion dissipated. Afterwards, he saw only a broken calf where the giant once stood.
The next moment, the city shield of Red Maple City finally closed.
