"I'm even more anxious than we are! It seems that the support of the Holy Demon Empire must have arrived! Chris put away his binoculars, looked at General Wilkes beside him, and said, "Get the troops ready!" ”

"Pass the order! All troops are ready for battle! Stay in formation! Wilkes commanded loudly. After giving the order to prepare for battle, he turned his head to look at Chris: "Your Majesty! Are we going to use new tactics to meet the challenge? ”

"No, you don't!" Chris shook his head, he knew that the 1st Regiment had studied new tactics, but the 3rd Regiment might not be prepared for this, and once the foxhole trench defense tactics were adopted, it might disrupt the combat deployment of the entire army.

Times will progress, and with the development of time, new tactics will soon become popular, and there is no rush for a while. Anyway, now his troops should still have a huge advantage in firepower, and they can fight head-on without digging trenches and foxholes and other fortifications.

"Let the 13th Regiment be at the forefront! Form an arrow attack queue! Watch out for defenses on both sides! "Because their whereabouts have been discovered, Elanhill's troops no longer pay attention to concealment, and the trumpets sound one after another, and one by one the infantry phalanx begins to move forward, but the speed of movement is much faster than the traditional phalanx of the Arante.

"All anti-aircraft weapons hold positions! Dragon knights can appear at any time! "The wagons with 30 mm caliber anti-aircraft guns moved slowly with the troops, and from the moment they saw the dragon flying in the distance, all the anti-aircraft weapons were in combat condition.

Thankfully, they had a wagon to tow, so they could stay in battle for a long time. Also accompanying the advance of the troops were heavy machine gun units, which were accompanied by horse-drawn carriages, and because they were not attacking fortifications, they did not need manpower to push them to the front line.

"Keep going! Give space to the artillery units! Let the garrison regiments on both flanks pay attention to the use of the terrain and arrange the defense line as thick as possible! "Before Chris came, he listened to the statements of the survivors of the troops who encountered the dragon, and drew up a plan of battle against the dragon.

In this scheme, almost all weapons are in an air-to-air configuration, and the head-to-head combat is basically handed over to the rifle phalanx and artillery. As long as there is nothing wrong with the front, even if the dragon knight rushes up, he will suffer heavy losses.

However, the current air defense battle is still a state of bayonet attrition, and Chris really wants to master the air supremacy of the battlefield, so that he can get rid of this combat state where the ground troops collide directly with the dragon and lose a large number of soldiers.

Unfortunately, he hadn't yet developed a small internal combustion engine, so there was no way to talk about a fighter: I heard that his train had finally been put into service a few days earlier, which was a major benefit to hear in a state of war.

"Report! The enemy is already approaching 700 meters in front of our troops! "An officer galloped on a tall horse and reported the latest news of the encounter.

"That's it! The battle is about to begin! Then let's see how difficult the ground forces of the Holy Demon Empire are! Chris immediately stood on the hillside, looking at his troops and the Arrant troops in the distance, and said lightly.

"This is our last chance! Now I've pulled all the elites over! 10,000 Royal Guards, 10,000 main troops under my command, and 10,000 Southern Frontier Army that has just been strengthened, this is the 30,000 army I can handle! In the military formation opposite, General Zorn looked at the officers beside him and spoke.

He personally led his henchmen with 30,000 elite soldiers and 3,000 giant horse cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire to press the Iran Hill troops on the flank.

"Only by defeating this field force of Iran Hill can we hope to continue fighting Iran Hill! So, anyway, this is the last chance I can find! ”

"All the troops press! I'll oversee the battle myself! If you don't succeed, you will be a benevolent! Mounted on his warhorse, General Zorn gritted his teeth and gave the order to attack first. He had to buy the horse cavalry behind him a chance to attack, and as long as he attracted enemy fire, he had completed his mission.

A muffled trumpet sounded "Woo...... and all the Arrant troops began to squirm forward. Those red-coated cannons began to roar, but they couldn't reach the Ellan Hill army formation in the distance.

Then the artillery of Iran Hill began to counterattack, and the roar completely suppressed the cannon sound of the Arrant Empire. The situation was basically one-sided without suspense, and soon the so-called artillery of the Arrant Empire was wiped out under the opponent's shells.

"That damn Chris! If I can catch him! I'm going to tear him to pieces! Zorn, who had long known that he had been deceived, clenched his fists and cursed someone in the opposing army in a low voice.

And with his whispered silence, his troops were already within the range of the Arrant Empire's firepower. didn't make him wait too long, a burst of gunfire came densely, and the soldiers of the Arrant Empire fell in a row of soldiers in the midst of this gunshot.

"Heavy shield! Stay in formation! Move forward! The officers in the phalanx commanded their men loudly, these elite soldiers of the Arrant Empire were by no means in vain, they were very disciplined, and fierce and tenacious, they could be said to be the most powerful army in the era of cold weapons.

It's a pity, after all, they are an army of cold weapons, and even the most powerful army of cold weapons cannot compete with well-trained hot weapons troops - not to mention, what is standing in front of them is already a hot weapons army that has been developed for a long time.

"Boom!" A cannonball exploded through the crowd, sending the armoured Arrant soldiers into the air. Cracks appeared in the dense formation, and all the soldiers were overwhelmed by this asymmetrical battle.

They are not afraid of countless arrows coming at them, and they are not even afraid of being surrounded by enemies ten times as much. But now they were at least a mile away from the enemy, and they were so embarrassed by the shells that they began to fear.

Watching others fight and trying it yourself are completely different things. Even if you have seen the enemy's artillery, when it is your turn to face the artillery fire, things will be completely different.

"Keep going!" Seeing that the phalanx was beginning to be chaotic, Zorn drew his sword and loudly urged the troops to continue the attack: "For the Arant! For His Majesty the Emperor! Keep moving! ”

"Hooray!" The royal guards roared angrily, braving the artillery fire, and the 30,000 Arrant elites continued to move forward slowly, stepping over the corpses of their comrades, and walking towards the increasingly dense Ellanhill army formation.

As in the previous attack near Maricha, the soldiers were slaughtered as if they were slaughtered by the barrage of rifles and artillery, with no losses but little damage to the enemy. They were shot and fell at a great distance, and died in vain without even seeing the appearance of the enemy.

"If it continues to be consumed like this, it seems that there will be no change. If the forces of the Arrant Empire can break through the defenses of the forces of the Alanhill, there is no need for us to come from afar. Pulling the reins of the giant horse, General Morse said lightly to the officers beside him.

He buttoned up his visor, a heavy armor that shone faintly. These armors are magically blessed, making them very expensive armor.

"Whoa!" Behind him, all the giant horse cavalry buckled their face armor, and the white armor matched the armor of the giant horse so well that it looked like a perfect work of art.

The spears of these cavalrymen were pointed at the sky, like a forest. As everyone buckled up their face armor, General Morse clamped his legs between the horse's ribs, and the giant horse under his crotch began to slowly take a step forward.

All the horses behind him began to stride forward, and the muffled sound of the horses' hooves hitting the ground even overshadowed the war drums, and the "bang" was like the beginning of a piece of music, which was breathtaking.

"The cavalry of the Holy Demon Empire has been dispatched!" An officer pulled the reins and stopped beside General Zorn, who was already exhausted, and reported what he had just confirmed: "They went around our left flank!" Crashing into the battle line of Iran Hill! ”

"Saved!" General Zorn, who felt the sweat dripping from his forehead, let out a sigh and shook his body, almost falling off his horse due to prostration, but when he stabilized his body and broke free from the ecstasy, he shouted hysterically: "Go on the attack!" Go on the offensive! We are saved! What are you waiting for! Go on the offensive! ”

With his shout, everyone saw those huge war horses appear on the battlefield, and everyone saw the white armor that was somewhat out of tune with the blood on the battlefield.

"It's coming!" Chris felt the uneasiness of his war horse, and when he saw the unusual cavalry in front of the phalanx, who had easily rushed to within 100 meters of the front of the Elanhill military formation, he raised his eyebrows and said.

"Giant horse cavalry! The kind of troops that Mr. Frentzberg talked about...... Is it invulnerable? General Wilkes frowned, very worried that his front line would be penetrated by such fierce cavalry.

"Really invulnerable? Then surrender! Chris sneered, he didn't believe that the other party was really invulnerable, in his opinion, even if it was a main battle tank, it couldn't be really invulnerable.

On the frontal battlefield, seeing the huge heavy armored cavalry, the soldiers of Iran Hill did not panic, they turned their guns and pressed the enemies who were constantly approaching them with the light door.

Then, the next second, they pulled the trigger, just like they did in training — "Phew! Gunshots rang out, and the battle continued.
