Chapter 735: Frontier Warfare
"Roar!!
When a roar like the roar of a wild beast spread through the second line of defense of the 19 Acropolis, the huge figure slowly fell backwards under the gaze of the three imperial generals, and its front was covered with iron pieces and all burned skins to tell everyone present that this heroic warrior had been hit head-on by the flames of destruction in the previous explosion.
"Kill! Avenge the Commander! "After a short period of silence, the soldiers of the Beast Regiment wearing a layer of leather armor and jackets under the command of the grassroots non-commissioned officer of their regiment launched a charge towards the city wall that was torn open by a hundred tons of black powder in front of them.
Although the soldiers of the mercenary regiment are mixed, they cannot achieve the same strict discipline as regular troops. But it is precisely because of the mixed mix of mercenaries that these mercenaries have the power to deal with various emergencies or battle situations. Just like now, when the junior non-commissioned officer of the Beast Regiment ordered the mercenaries of the whole regiment to charge, although the mercenaries of these Beast Regiment charged in a scattered formation, those mercenaries with various weapons in their hands were able to complete the position change in a short time, with the spearmen and shield soldiers in front, and the heavy axemen and other troops in order.
If this kind of mercenary group comparable to the second-line regular army is placed on other battlefields, as long as it is used properly, the combat power it exerts will definitely cause heavy losses to the enemy troops, and sometimes even be able to turn things around, but here, these mercenary warriors comparable to the regular army are destined to become cannon fodder, because they are facing all the combat units of the empire that never sets on the silver star or even higher.
"Mishaal's heavy axemen! Launch a counter-charge! At the roar of the non-commissioned officer on which the sun never sets, these giant double-bladed northern giants immediately raised their weapons upside down on the ground in front of the sound the moment the sound reached their eardrums, and took orderly steps, trotting towards the beast mercenaries who were rushing towards them outside the boulder wall.
As more and more Mishaal heavy axemen in half-body plate armor disappeared through the gaps in the walls. Several convoys armed to the teeth also rushed to the gap in the wall: this was a group of troops in the city dominated by several huge wooden trailers, several Kodomon covered in heavy steel plates, and at least one company of heavy swordsmen, do not think that this team will perform any special task on the battlefield, in fact they have only one mission, the simplest but at the same time the most dangerous - to transport strategic materials to the front line.
Don't think that the technological level of this world is maintained in the Middle Ages, this kind of transport team moving in the city is safe, you must know that the continent of the king of the road is not only a medieval world, but also a medieval world with a magical atmosphere, here, the steel air force that should have appeared in science and technology at least to modern times has been replaced by a huge number of magical creature air forces in advance. Although the current air force of the King Continent is almost unable to achieve the terrifying air-to-ground bombardment of the original world air combat force, except for the peculiar Royal Griffin Knights with air-to-ground bombardment that the sun never sets on the empire, the destructive power generated by the huge number of magical air forces is also very terrifying if they launch a suicidal charge to the ground in a group.
For this, the troops of the Sun Never Set Empire stationed on the Nizhny Maginot Line can be said to have a deep understanding: although the Sun Never Sets Great Empire has a strong army. But the start of the empire was relatively late after all, or the empire of the sun never set was completely a utopian empire established by Sun Lin himself. No matter how much it plundered the major empires of the King Continent. After all, it can't compare to the great empire that has stood for thousands of years in the middle of the middle continent, so don't look at the fact that the sun never sets the great empire has several griffin knights whose combat effectiveness is no less than that of the griffin empire, but as long as the griffin knights of the griffin empire of griffons play the tactics of crowds, or break it into pieces, the air combat troops of the sun never set will have a headache, and in fact, the air combat troops of the griffin empire do this.
This led directly to the early start of the Lower Maginot Line. That is, when the battle between the sun never set and the forces of the two empires had not yet entered the stalemate stage, the baggage transportation lines of the Sun Never Set Empire, whether it was the front line or the rear, were severely hit, and it can be said that at least as much as 6 of the baggage currently transported to the Lower Maginot Line was not used by the soldiers of the sunset. Instead, it was destroyed by the griffon knights of the Great Griffon Empire.
In this regard, the side that does not set the sun can only make up for the dead, build a large number of beacons in the rear, and equip the baggage troops with elite private soldiers, sturdy transport vehicles, etc., to report that the baggage transportation line of the station will not be cut off. But everyone knows that what they have to face is the griffin knights of the griffin empire, even if they can't charge and are not good at ground combat, these griffon knights are equivalent to a kind of super-heavy armored cavalry when fighting on the ground, and their data is stronger than the heavy infantry in the numerical interface alone, not to mention that they are not the kind of heavy cavalry soldiers who lose their mobility or meat, and directly hit the GG when they encounter the spear class - they are air cavalry that can fly into the sky.
"Did you get something?" Looking at the goods consigned by the armed Kodo beasts, the officer in charge of the combat command in this area limped over under the support of a soldier: "Move all the things down, by the way, send someone to call the engineering team over, I don't want to get these things without experts, when the time comes, I will make a bigger opening, and it will not be enough for me to apologize a hundred times in front of His Royal Highness Sun Lin." ”
"Yes! Sir! The captain of the transport team immediately saluted after hearing the order given by the officer in front of him, and then after giving orders to several soldiers beside him, he found a war horse and galloped directly into the city.
"What are you doing? Why don't you go to work quickly, get these things down, the comrades of the 23rd detachment can only buy us less than 10 minutes, and if we don't deal with this matter in front of us within 10 minutes, we will be finished! ”
……
"Blown up?" Looking at the Acropolis defense map with a huge red cross on the table, Dani looked at Habu in disbelief and said: "Are you crazy, do you know that in the first place, in order to make the enemy pay the heaviest price in the lower Maginot Line, but let the dwarven craftsmen bury a lot of black powder underneath, is this not equivalent to completely destroying the second line of defense of this Acropolis?" ”
"Don't worry, this can't happen, I think if you have the time, you should get to know the structure of the walls and acropolis of the Lower Maginot Line." A bored Habu found a roll of paper with handwriting and patterns on the messy table, handed it to Dani across the table, and said, "Look at it, it's the structure of those buildings. ”、
"It's... Could it be that the walls of the Lower Maginot Line were all such hollowed-out structures? But can these pillars really withstand the walls on the surface? After putting down the scroll in his hand, Dani's face improved slightly, but the doubt on his face still did not subside, it is no wonder, it is no wonder who is it, who will find that the foundations of the huge stone walls of the Lower Maginot Line are actually composed of stone pillars (in fact, not all of them are composed of stone pillars, it can even be said that the foundation of these walls is only partially composed of stone pillars, and the rest of the area is basically similar to the sewer system of the original world, but the so-called embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in the anthill, Sometimes the collapse of one point can lead to the collapse of the entire system).
"Dani, although black powder has been widely promoted in our army, you must know that with the current technology of our empire, it is still impossible to mass produce it, which is also why the black powder of our empire can only appear in the mining and military aspects, and more importantly, black powder has a strong instability, and its instability is even more unstable than the medicine produced by those green-skinned dwarfs (goblins)." As he spoke, Hab pointed his finger to the section of the Maginot Line on the map, saying, "Gunpowder is not in sufficient supply, not powerful enough, and there is no better way to store it. For many reasons, we have to use this foundation design to strengthen the collapse of the wall when destroying the wall, which is a last resort, but you should not worry too much, after all, these are the foundations designed by the dwarven craftsmen, and they are also designed by the dwarven craftsmen who have mastered the ability to blast, and the only problem we face now is to prevent the collapse of the surrounding defenses while blasting. ”
"Is that possible?"
After a moment of silence, Habu stood up and removed the two-handed hammer hanging from the wall, and said to Dany in front of him, "I don't know what to do, but one thing I know for sure, no matter what the outcome is, we must be prepared for a hand-to-hand battle with the enemy.......
