Chapter 303: Ground-Facing Air Force (Part I)
Griffins, the most commonly used and elite mounts of the Terran Air Cavalry of the King Continent, as recorded in the mythology of the original world, they have brown skin and feathers, an eagle-like upper body and a lion-like lower body, and a pair of broad wings growing on their backs.
However, the griffons equipped by the first empty cavalry group are different from the griffins domesticated by the human power in the Middle Continent, the griffins on the forelimbs and neck are snow-white, and their eyes are also a beautiful sapphire blue color, the most important thing is that these griffins are more violent and aggressive than ordinary griffins, and more obedient after being tamed, the most important thing is that when this griffin reaches adulthood, its body will be stronger than the ordinary griffins and battle griffins on the king continent.
Because it is a product of the system, when this new type of griffin was cultivated, Sun Lin was very excited to name it the Royal Griffin, and the 1st Air Cavalry Regiment of the Sunset Never Set, equipped with the Royal Griffin, was also deservedly renamed the First Regiment of the Royal Gryphon Cavalry. Although this air cavalry regiment is the same as the Shield of God, nominally Sun Lin's guard, but in fact it is not, the reputation of this force will certainly be as strong as the reputation of the Shield of God.
The passing of the Royal Griffin Knights initially startled the baggage troops in the rear, as the army that has lifted the vampire empire and has air cavalry troops, the corresponding method of avoiding the enemy's air cavalry troops to sneak attack the rear baggage during the march has been incorporated into the battlefield knowledge that the army grassroots officers must learn, so just as the Royal Griffin Knights are about to enter the sky above the canyon and look at the army soldiers who never set, a heavy crossbow with a cold light is under the control of the giant shield crossbowmen, aimed at the air cavalry where the sun never sets.
However, fortunately, Sun Lin spread the news that the battle would have cavalry participation in the battle before he came, so when the soldiers of the Immortal Army saw those who were riding griffins, almost every few cavalrymen held a rifle with the 3 lions of the sun never set in their right hands, or the white and red cross flag, and held the reins of the horses in their left hands, the soldiers who never set the sun immediately put away the long-range weapons in their hands and cheered at the griffin knights.
As the so-called layman looks at the lively insider's doorway, when these griffin knights swept through the air, the four generals here all nodded secretly at their performance, and General Bobby, as the general of the cavalry on which the sun never sets, did not take his eyes off the griffin knights from the appearance of the griffin knights to the disappearance of the sky, and did not even blink an eye.
"Okay Bobby, the troops are gone, so you don't need to look at it." After patting Bobby on the shoulder and waking him up, Sun Lin pointed to Sunset Fort again and said: "Now the 30,000 forward army and the Mo Forging Slave Regiment have arrived at the scheduled projection site and started assembling the No. 3 counterweight trebuchet, Henry, what you are best at is defensive warfare in the field, and now the 30,000 Aegis troops are approaching the forward army as the second echelon of the front army, you go to the front line to deploy your position first, I don't want my counterweight trebuchet to be dismantled by those Dicks before the arrival of the main army." β
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I promise that all 40 No. 3 counterweights will be as good as new before you arrive." After speaking, Henry stepped onto the black war horse behind him, and galloped away in the direction of the Sunset Army, followed by dozens of members of the general's guard.
"AndrΓ₯t, go and lead the ladder with the orc slave army, and when you reach the war zone, if you find that the griffon knights and the counterweight trebuchet have stopped, then you can start storming; George! You also go with you, your military psychology is very strong, you can find each other's flaws as soon as possible, I need the two of you to capture the outer area of Sunset Fort before I and the main army arrive, tell me, do you two have this confidence?
"Your Majesty, we will definitely complete your instructions." Looking at the two generals who never set in the dust and dozens of members of the generals' guards, Sun Lin called Bobby over again, but before Sun Lin could give instructions, Bobby preemptively raised his doubts: "Your Majesty, although I have not participated in the battle of Reykjavik City on the Northern Continent, but as far as I know, the air cavalry generally performs reconnaissance, counter-reconnaissance, riots and other tasks, when will the air cavalry be able to fight head-to-hand with the army?" Even if those royal griffons obtained the close-fitting plate armor with the help of the Mo Forges, they might not be able to have this ability. β
"You're right, it's true that the air cavalry isn't capable of fighting with the infantry, especially the heavy infantry pikemen, but Bobby............. when did I say I'm going to pit the griffons against the defenders of Sunset Castle? Have you forgotten what the asphalt clay pot is for? β
Seven hours later, in the Sunset Valley area, the sun never sets on the forward position of the Central Continental Expeditionary Force............
"All counterweight trebuchets listen to me! 2 o'clock ahead! Get ready............ Smash that arrow tower to pieces for Lao Tzu! β
"Boom ........." Under dozens of violent collisions, a huge obelisk that had already been dilapidated slowly collapsed downward, and dozens of Dick soldiers armed with pulley crossbows or compound bows fell from the tower dozens of meters high with broken stones in despair, and rolled down the steep hillside into the valley of Sunset Valley nearly 100 meters deep, and the sunset array broke out again with celebratory cheers, but as the vanguard army, the face of the commander of the 6th Heavy Infantry Regiment of Sunset did not have the slightest joy.
The first day of battle in Sunset Valley had lasted about six hours since the first No. 3 counterweight trebuchet was assembled and put into battle, during which time the towers on the bare peaks and the edge of the canyon were in ruins under the bombardment of the counterweight trebuchet, and thousands of Dirks fell from the 100-meter-high mountain to the upper valley, which was dozens of meters below the horizon, but this was nothing to the side of the Anti-Sunset War Alliance, which had more than 200,000 people. And until now, the enemy has not even counterattacked, and at present, in addition to the figure of the falling gravel in the Sunset Valley, only the sound of the sunset position outside the valley remains, and the entire Sunset Valley is as if no one exists, and it is extremely silent in front of the front of the Sunset Vanguard.
"It seems that the enemy is determined to defend Sunset Valley, use the natural terrain of Sunset Valley to hide the army in the depths of the valley, and use its complex terrain to eat away at our soldiers little by little." Looking at the situation in front of him, the commander of the 6th Heavy Infantry Regiment on which the sun never sets said with a bitter face: "Damn Dick, this is clearly a conspiracy!" Do you really want to organize death squads to clean up little by little with canister bows............. huh? What is that? β
Inadvertently, the commander of the heavy infantry found that behind him, a "dark cloud" was moving rapidly towards his side.
