Chapter 307: The Battle of Sunset Valley (Part II)
Since the time of the arrival of the Aegis was already night, and the previous battle had lasted for half a day, the sun never set on the whole army, especially in the subsequent battle, all the members of the 1st Air Cavalry Regiment who played the protagonist were already very tired at the moment, and the material equipment of the war on all sides also needed to be adjusted, so when the No. 3 counterweight trebuchet threw a few rounds of stones in the direction of Sunset Valley after the return of the Griffin Knights, the first day of the battle in Sunset Valley was over.
There was no fighting that night, and both sides reacted very well, except for sending some baggage soldiers with the army to clean up the battlefield in front of Sunset Valley, they did not use counterweight trebuchets to harass the side of the Anti-Sunset War Alliance in the middle of the night, and the same was true for the Anti-Sunset War Alliance, because he needed to use the fastest speed to drag the bunkers and ballistas damaged by the Griffin Knights' raids during the day to repair them, and remove the debris left by the counterweight trebuchets after the bombardment during the day.
Both sides know that today's battle is just a temptation, testing the apparent combat effectiveness of both sides, although the griffin knight's chaotic entry slightly disrupted the deployment of the anti-sun and never set war alliance, but the griffin knight disrupted only its superficial deployment, Henry believes that since the Dirks chose to hollow out all the interior on both sides of the valley to establish a defensive belt, but the Dirks absolutely expected that the sunset side would use fire and smoke to force them out to fight before the construction, The reason why the Dirks were so overwhelmed by the asphalt clay pots thrown by the griffin knights before was that they didn't expect that the sun would use this to carry out a smoke and fire attack, and cause them a temporary chaos..........
"Burn them with Greek fire! This portable Greek firethrower is so handy!" Looking at the two-meter-long iron pillar in their hands, the Sunset Infantry who hid their cheeks in their helmets let out a laugh that made all the soldiers of the Anti-Sunset War Alliance feel afraid.
The full-body silver chain mail, the sleeveless inlaid leather armor, and wrapped in a layer of silk snow white, with a blood-colored crusade painted on the chest or a lion standing with a crown on his head, a knight's sword and mace on his waist, and a steel helmet wearing an eagle's beak steel helmet The second surprise that Sun Lin gave to the northwest region of the Central Continent during his march into the Central Continent - the Greek fire throwers on which the sun never sets.
The first use of Greek fire was at the end of the first year of the new calendar, when the people of Sunset put rough Greek fire into wooden barrels, and threw it with heavy torsion catapults that have almost been eliminated due to its bulky size, and can only be seen in some city defense facilities, causing extensive damage to the enemy, and after 4 years of development until now, the golden age of Greek fire has finally been refined by the Mo Forging Slave who never sets with his superb forging art to be able to compress Greek fire into sticks. The Greek Fire Portable Ejector, which was ejected by the principle of pressure, was ushered in.
If yesterday's appearance of the Griffin Knights alarmed the soldiers of the Anti-Sunset War Alliance, it was despair that the soldiers of the Anti-Sunset War Alliance felt early this morning when a new echelon force with 1,000 Greek flamethrowers appeared in the forward position and was mobilized by Henry to the front, and launched a fierce assault on the outer entrance defense of Sunset Valley with the 6th Heavy Infantry Regiment of Sunset Valley.
For they were desperate to find that the defenses that could hide from their arrows and create obstacles for the Sunset infantry had become extremely brittle in front of the Greek fire throwers, and that the wooden firing platforms that gave their ranged infantry a good perspective had been reduced to charcoal under just one Greek fire thrower.
Although after a brief encounter, the junior officers of the Anti-Sunset War Alliance immediately realized that this terrifying short-range weapon was not only very bulky, but also a disposable weapon, and when the orange fire dragon disappeared, the Sunset soldiers who controlled these weapons had to draw their swords and maces to fight their own soldiers hand-to-hand, but they had already opened a flame path to victory for their comrades beside them.
"Start throwing!" Just as the soldiers of the sun never set broke through the huge cast-iron city gate, the griffin knights in the sky also divided into many small teams of no more than 5 people according to yesterday's tactics, and used swooping tactics to riot against the Dick anti-sun war alliance soldiers above the giant city gate.
With yesterday's lesson, today's Sunset Valley is full of long-range infantry armed with heavy crossbows under the side of the Anti-Sunset War Alliance, but the effect is not very effective, because these soldiers with long-range weapons have not undergone systematic defense training against the air cavalry troops, especially this kind of equipped speed air combat mounts, and are good at using dive attacks, so the griffon knights are as good at mixing on today's battlefield as yesterday, and are very smoothly in accordance with the plan formulated by the army leaders yesterday, Put 3,000 Secret Room Guards into the designated locations in turn.
Equipped with a spring sword and a powerful Mo forging heavy crossbow (at present, among the crossbow long-range weapons produced by the Sun Never Setting Empire, they are roughly divided into 2 types, one is the heavy crossbow represented by the Mo Forging Crossbow, which is busy with loading speed and heavy volume, but its power can shoot through 1 cm thick plate armor, and the other is a high-firing crossbow with a fast loading speed, light weight, and a crossbow with double crossbow slots, but because the latter's attack power is weak, and the sun does not set yet, the repeating crossbow has not yet been developed, so the latter is only a semi-finished product in the Quartermaster Department of the Sun Never Sets, Although it was developed, it was not widely used in the military. The guards of the secret room, as soon as the Moforging engineers, who had come down from the back of the griffin and wore heavy plate armor and a giant hammer by his side, resisted the designated landing site, and immediately began to implement what he called the "liying" plan.
Those Dick heavy infantry who had only heard yesterday that the sun never set had a mechanical monster in their hands, and the strange steel frame shots of the Secret Room Guards could withstand almost any short-handled weapon, so many Dick heavy infantry immediately found in horror that these steel monsters could not be killed at all, and then they were smashed flat by the giant war hammers in their hands by the Mo Forging soldiers armed with giant axes. Or he was hit by a home run like a baseball by the wicked Mo Forens, hammered out of the line from the edge of the cliff, and fell to the bottom of the 100-meter-deep Sunset Valley.
Soon, the Rolling Stone Trap Control Area, which was targeted by the Secret Room Guards and Mo Forging Engineers, all fell into the hands of the Sunset.
