11. Wind.26 (57)
When General de.la. Noue ("bras.de.fer"), the head of the Knights of the Dragon, saw a pile of "iron bumps" painted with three-colored patches in the distance through the "telescopic eye" technique, and the old cavalryman appeared on the horizon with tubes of various thicknesses, and the old cavalryman immediately realized that "trouble was coming".
He didn't know that the name of these iron bumps was "chariots", that they were invincible in the Seven Days War, and that they had almost driven Castile into a desperate situation, and that they were piloted by pointy-eared heretics. But he knew that the presence of clearly hostile armed groups could only be explained by the fact that the plan for the raid had been leaked.
"Damn it!"
Draenor took a sip and immediately shouted to the adjutant and standard-bearer beside him, asking them to give the order for the troops to change from marching columns to "wall formations". The most well-armoured and well-armed knights marched out in the first row, and the archers and magicians in the second row. Regardless of their reaction, the knights will stumble through the pass by squandering the ugly iron box under the long-range escort of bows and arrows and magic. They had to rush to the royal capital at noon, join up with the comrades of the royal sect, and control the disturbing royal capital, and there was no time to waste in this wilderness.
As the bugle whistled and the signal flag fluttered in the wind, the queue began to disperse. Suddenly, at this moment, Draenor felt a pinprick burning pain from the section where the iron prosthesis was connected to the cerebral cord, and reacted that it was a sign peculiar to every danger, and the moment the "barrier" was reflexively erected, a blinding flash of light and a thunderous sound exploded on the horizon.
As a small-caliber high muzzle velocity gun dedicated to "canning" solid targets. The power of the 60x diameter 75mm tank gun was impeccable, and the skilled gunner with the high-precision monocular stereo optical sight, the head of the first row of Ben dragons 2 kilometers away was shot into the soul and hit a cross. The 12.7mm on-board machine gun on the roof of the car pumped the light whip of tracer bullets back and forth, like a scythe sweeping wheat field, knocking the knight on the back of the dragon to the ground in pieces. It's a terrifying sight that can be compared to the crater made by the Sturmtiger 20 meters in diameter and more than two swimming pools deep.
The self-propelled mortar, which soldiers called the "monster with a stump" as a heavy fire combat vehicle to support the infantry, was based on the chassis of the Tiger fighting vehicle. A huge turretless fighting compartment was installed. Its frontal armor is 150 mm thick, with an inclination angle of 45 degrees, which is equivalent to 200 mm thick, and the thickness of the side rear and top armor is 80 mm. The height of the car is 15 centimeters shorter than that of the Tiger. This makes it more resilient in battle. Due to the absence of long-barreled artillery that is susceptible to spatial interference in the streets. Its low, sturdy stature makes it easy to advance and retreat in urban street battles.
In addition to its thick skin and rough flesh and flexible movements, this "bantam tiger" is also staggering in terms of firepower, the most important measure of weapons. It is equipped with a 380mm caliber 5.4x breech loading rocket (mortar) gun. Launch special heavy rockets, or shoot at an elevation angle like a mortar to increase the range and fire at the commanding heights. A 350-kilogram rocket is enough to demolish a building in an instant, and on the test site, this artillery can even knock over three infantry fighting vehicles with a single shot, which is as powerful as a heavy bomber.
Due to its large size, an assault tiger can only carry 14 shells at full capacity, which cannot last long, but it is more than enough to wipe a dragon knight from the ground.
"Prepare for the second shot! 2 o'clock, 30 degrees elevation!"
Nona ordered loudly through the receiver in her throat, and in order to fully make her subordinates understand what she was talking in the harsh communication environment of smoke, motor running, and commanders repeating orders aloud, the werewolf girl used the classical and crude method - kicking.
Since there is no rotating turret, the Assault Tiger's aiming is achieved by adjusting the position of the vehicle, kicking the driver's left shoulder is a left turn, and kicking the right shoulder is a right turn. The resolute driver has long been determined to "kick it as much as you want", and Nona will naturally not be polite on the battlefield, aiming at her left shoulder is a kick.
The 65-ton assault gun slowly moved its giant body, and the thick pipe shaped like a pepper pot was raised again, and the magicians counterattacked one after another. Fireballs, wind blades, and ice arrows clanged on the beveled armor, and the assault tiger that had dropped a few pieces of paint slowly raised its muzzle, and the rocket let out a terrible scream that drew a beautiful arc in the air, and after a huge explosion, there was another crater on the ground. A few seconds later, the severed arms of the human and dragon fell from the sky, scattering them to the ground.
General Draenor was on the verge of a stroke, and the steel monster had reimbursed nearly a quarter of the best heavily armored dragon assault cavalry he had trained with two straight attacks, what kind of monster was this?
He had vaguely sensed in his heart that this was the new weapon that Titans was equipped with-"cannon", but this unimaginable power still made Draenor frightened, and he roughly calculated that according to this rate of loss, at most 15 minutes, the Knights of the Dragon Running would be unable to continue to attack because of the loss of more than half of them, and in another 15 minutes, the elite who had spent many years of painstaking training would not even have bones left.
It can't just be over!
Gritting his teeth, Draenor shouted in a technique that amplifies his voice:
"The heavy cavalry retreats! The magicians and archers step forward! The two wings turn halfway!!"
In a panic, the Knights roared and regained their backbones, and when they bowed down, they pulled the reins and struck their mounts with their stirrups. Benlong, who had already been trained to make all kinds of loud noises, quickly woke up from the chaos of the surprise attack, just like their masters. The magicians and archers on both wings quickly formed two small columns of three horizontal formations and pounced on the iron lumps that were still firing.
This is Draenor's latest invention, the caracole, and he was shocked to learn that Titans had defeated the Castilian knights with his cannons during the Seven-Day War. In order to encounter artillery in the future war, the Dragon Knights can effectively defeat the enemy, and have devoted themselves to researching new tactics.
In this move, the mages and archers at the front of the queue turn left or right back to the back of the formation after approaching the enemy for a round of attacks, waiting for an opportunity to prepare for the next round of attacks, then turn back when it is the second row of attacks, and so on.
This tactic is very similar to the phalanx in which the Titans musketeers line up to shoot, but it has higher requirements for the executor. With the quality of the cavalry under Draenor, it was not difficult to complete this tactical move, and he believed that under the stormy onslaught of his awesome guys, those hateful Iron King Eight would soon be honest.
In all fairness, this old cavalryman racked his brains for the honor of the cavalry and the survival of his subordinates. But as the saying goes: good people don't live long, but evil people live for a thousand years. General Draenor was of good character, so he was destined to die a good death—and before he could see the lads press up, there was a loud horn whistle in the sky, and the soprano singing voice resounded through the sky.
The gods who harvested the souls of kings on the battlefield descended on the sky above the Knights of the Dragon. (To be continued......)
