Chapter 304: Ground-Facing Air Force (Part II)
When thousands of griffon knights on griffons swept over the heads of the vanguard army with mounted spears with the three lions and crusader banners of the Sunset Empire, the 30,000 Sunset people, including the thousand Mo Forging people, all boiled.
Although they had received news from the Sunset Warhawk that an air cavalry unit from Sunset would temporarily join the battle of Sunset Valley, until before, including the commander of the Sunset 6th Heavy Infantry Regiment who learned that the warhawk was the Emperor Sun Lin's royal war eagle under the Sunset Never Setting Emperor, they did not believe that their empire really had an air cavalry regiment, because the cost of forming an air cavalry regiment was too great. Even those forces whose comprehensive strength is close to that of the Great Empire may not be able to form a regular air cavalry regiment.
For example, if the formation of a regular sunset heavy infantry regiment is equivalent to cultivating 4 sunset light infantry regiments, and the formation of a heavy cavalry regiment is equivalent to the formation of 4 heavy infantry regiments, then Sun Lin can tell you very seriously that if you want to form an air cavalry regiment, it is equivalent to forming 4 heavy cavalry regiments, and the number of air cavalry regiments formed by spending so much manpower and material resources is only half of that of a heavy cavalry regiment, that is, 5,000 people. Is the rioting air cavalry really useful?
Useful! Of course, this is for the Great Empire on which the sun never sets, because the Great Empire on which the sun never sets is different from the Great Empire of the King Continent. As an external force, and also an external force with a high degree of ideological advancement and a stable rear, Sunset has a huge and systematic production line, which has created the diversity of the Sunset Cavalry on the battlefield.
"The whole group is scattered! Throw in small teams of 5 people! Burn all these Dicks hiding in the cave to death! At this time, in the 1st Air Cavalry Regiment of the Sunset, an officer wearing the Legion's captain's badge carved with a royal griffin and a red cross on the griffin's chest said to the adjutant beside him as he moved forward at an even speed. And it didn't take long for the griffin knights of the Sunset Empire to hang their spears on the griffin's body under the command of dozens of heralds with banners, and took out the asphalt clay pot used to throw the pot bow and a fire fold from the box placed in the back—an earthen equipment used to preserve the fire, and a magical tool that can ignite certain items in the case of low temperature and lack of oxygen. At the same time, the 5,000 Griffin Knights who never set the sun also kept as much space as possible with their comrades, and changed the formation to the Long Snake Formation.
............The horn sounded, and the griffin knights, who were divided into small teams of 5 people, suddenly moved forward at a rapid pace, and began to rush into the valley from all directions of Sunset Valley one after another, and this air cavalry force from the sunset never set, like a depth charge detonated in the water, bombed the calm of Sunset Valley.
"Enemy attack!" The sound of trumpets and the roars of the people resounded in the sky as soon as the griffon knight rushed into the valley, but then billowing black smoke and chaotic cries for help rose from the valley, and all the previous alarm-related sounds had all disappeared.
As a griffin in the air combat mounts of the intelligent race, it is a speed mount breed like the elven Pegasus and the orc's bipedal wyvern, and it is very different from the vampire's giant bat and the dragonman's pterodactyl and other combat-type mount breeds.
As combat aerial combat mounts, they don't move very fast, and they are large and clumsy, but they have their own advantages. They don't need to use gliding force and air currents to adjust their speed, just with their powerful wings, so combat mounts are rarely affected by the weather, and at the same time, the powerful wings make combat mounts do not need to go around in a circle in the air like speed air combat mounts to adjust their direction and turn the target to the rear, usually they can turn in place in the air, and the most important thing is that Although both the Speed Air Combat Mount and the Combat Air Combat Mount can fall to the ground for combat, only the Combat Air Combat Mount can perform a cavalry charge on land like a land combat mount such as a war horse, an ironclad rhinoceros, and a wolf, so in the eyes of many great empires, the Speed Mount is not as good as the combat Air Combat Mount as a whole.
However, Sun Lin does not think so, in Sun Lin's view, the reason why people think that combat air combat mounts are stronger than speed mounts is because the speed air combat mounts are too single, and in this continent where heavy armor troops are the mainstream and artillery units have not yet developed, speed air combat mounts are really useless, but if Sun Lin now promotes the bombers, carpet bombing, and dive tactics of later generations to air combat to strengthen the air cavalry troops equipped with speed air combat mounts, what will happen?
"Ah......hh Fire! Fire! Hurry up and put out the fire! "When the first team of griffon knights swooped down in the air to the outpost in Sunset Castle Valley, and threw the ignited asphalt clay pots at the dazed Dirks who had not yet been screened, the results were already there.
Because it is an air cavalry unit, these skilled griffin knights can completely smash the asphalt clay pots in their hands in places that the Dicks and Ottomans can't imagine in countless sunset valleys, and even if the soldiers of the anti-sunset war alliance react, it is useless, because with the information provided by the intelligence officers in the valley, the griffin knights destroyed most of the ballistae hidden in the valley in the first time, and then, because of the use of dive tactics, Although the griffin knights often exposed their larger targets to the eyes of the opposing archers, this practice can cause a lot of psychological pressure on the enemy, so that most of the ranged infantry of the Anti-Sunset War Alliance cannot calm down and target the griffin knights, and eventually they are either burned into charcoal by the asphalt clay pots they throw, or they are captured by the rampaging royal griffins and taken to the air, and then fall from the sky and fall into the flesh.
At the same time, as a thick smoke that is more lethal than fire after the fire, it has also begun to smoke out the soldiers of the anti-sunset war alliance hiding in caves and inner castles, and has been caught by those griffin knights who hunt the enemy's head in a skirmish formation, and the originally impregnable Sunset Valley defense system has completely turned into a woman who has been torn the last fig leaf in the eyes of 5,000 griffin knights, just waiting for it to be ravaged at will.
However, it didn't take long for the crack in the huge cast-iron city gate that had been deformed by dozens of No. 3 counterweight trebuchets in the valley of Sunset, and a group of strangely shaped heavy infantry units suddenly rushed out and killed the position of the Sunset Vanguard Army, with as many as 40,000 people.
