Chapter 497 Chapter 495: Frontal Combat (Subscription Request)
If we were to characterize the legions sent by the three giants of the coalition, the Slavs were typically arrogant and disrespectful.
After the test in Frost Moon Canyon, they no longer took the Flower Territory's guards seriously, and just kept attacking, advancing, and breaking through, with increasing speed.
The Sardinian Legion had typical pirate habits, being greedy for success and reckless, with looting being a common practice.
As the commander of the Western Front, Alfonso Zec saw their weaknesses clearly, which is why he set a trap in the town of Grand Basseti.
It was a very simple trap, but it targeted the greed in people's hearts. After luring the army of more than 10,000 people into complex terrain, it carried out an all-round strangulation.
It can be said that Loyi's "showing weakness to the enemy" achieved remarkable results on these two legions.
Only the Bonaparte Corps on the southern front performed differently. General Fake Wood's strategy could be described as bold and cautious.
The bold thing is that their marching speed is not slow, at least not much slower than the other two legions.
They headed north, breaking through multiple lines of defense in the Flower Territory and heading straight for the city of Brussels.
This was the explanation given by General Fake Wood to the country, proving that Marshal Joffre's ability to judge people was well-deserved.
But the deeper they went, the more vigilant General Fake Wood became.
Wherever the army passed, the Giant Eagle Knights would first survey the sky to ensure there were no traces of military activity on the ground.
Then the wanderer would explore an area of ten miles ahead, screening all the territories he had to pass through.
At this point, the army behind was also marching, with the Bighorn Deer Knights patrolling around. The soldiers of the 13th Division were arranged into several columns and marched in groups.
If you encounter a surprise attack, you can split into countless teams at any time and find shelter.
Frankly, this is what a march should be like.
The most commendable thing is actually that Fake Wood, as the son of a businessman, can achieve absolute control over the legion.
Forget about the soldiers of the newly formed 13th Division, even the proud knights of the Imperial Eagle Knights could obey his orders and use them as if they were his own arms, which showed their abilities.
The Flower Leader actually prepared a trap for them. In a small town they passed by, shiny gold and silver were scattered on the ground, ready for them to take.
But after General Fake Wood learned about it, he led the legion to change the original marching route and directly avoided the town.
Seeing that they were about to miss each other, the temporary commander of the southern front, the female Tyrannosaurus Tanya Anderson, gave an extremely decisive order for the entire army to attack.
Luo Yi was a person who liked to plan ahead, so during the establishment, expansion and training of the Royal Guard Corps, he also focused on the training of generals.
For example, Alfonso Zeke, although he was born as a Grand Knight, he had a very thorough study of magical warfare.
The Royal Guards' use of magical weapons, special forces training, street fighting and other tactics were all instructed and directed by Loy, who planned them all himself.
It can be said that he is the number one person in the military besides Loy.
But he alone is obviously not enough, and among the other extraordinary people, two people also stand out.
Vincent Ackerman, one of the original three great knights, although he had signs of rebellion in the past, is now absolutely loyal.
Although his strength is not outstanding, he loves to fight bravely. He often leads by example and inspires the courage of his soldiers to the greatest extent.
Even in desperate situations, he could organize his army and resist step by step without suffering a catastrophic defeat.
This can be clearly seen in the Eastern Front battlefield commanded by him.
Although Luo Yi did not let him exert his full strength, and there were no magic tanks to attack, but being able to defeat battle after battle and then continue to organize a defense line the next day was not an ordinary person.
And another one is the female Tyrannosaurus Tanya Anderson.
The only female extraordinary knight in Flower Territory is known for her tough character and powerful strength.
Vincent Ackerman lost to him in the fight for the customized awakening potion. He was defeated in a head-on battle.
However, his command style on the battlefield is steady yet radical.
She is best at taking stock of the strength in her hands, calculating the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, seizing fleeting opportunities, and delivering fatal blows.
But even she felt helpless in the face of General Fake Wood's caution.
However, if you can't take advantage, don't take it. It's not difficult to defeat the opponent fairly.
Therefore, her order was straightforward and decisive.
And this battle started with an air battle.
The hidden King of Fury Silas whistled, and the clear and pleasant sound spread far away, and what responded to him were bursts of lion roars and eagle cries.
At the end of the sky, hundreds of griffins came rushing forward with great momentum. Led by the Griffin King, they launched a surprise attack on the Giant Eagle Knight.
In terms of combat power and coordination, griffins are not as good as giant eagles. What's more, they have knights on them. Although not all of them are extraordinary, they can also assist in battle.
But in terms of agility and speed, griffins are better, and the orders they receive are not to fight, but to engage in a grapple.
They came with great momentum, first breaking up the formation of giant eagles, then fighting each other, and trying to lead these giant eagles far away.
Then, accompanied by the roar of the engines, one magic tank after another rushed out from underground bunkers, from street corners, and even directly broke through the walls.
Dozens of steel monsters roared forward, crushing all obstacles. Some of them fired directly while still accelerating.
Boom boom boom boom!
The dark gun barrel lit up with magical light, and in the flash, the huge steel machinery trembled, and the shells were fired in the rising smoke.
Tank guns are not like field guns. Their ballistic trajectories are almost straight lines, and they have extremely terrifying direct firepower.
Dozens of shells whistled through the air, and even the giant deer knights released their fighting spirit and swung their fighting spirit to block the attack.
However, in the case of a mid-air explosion, the flying fragments still cause great damage, and often where they fall, there will be a bloody mist and flying limbs.
And such a terrifying weapon is still advancing at an exaggerated speed.
Two heavy machine guns were activated, ready to spit out flames at any time. Behind them, the soldiers of the Royal Guard followed with fanatical expressions, holding guns, ready to harvest the enemy.
They rushed forward with such great momentum, ready to crush the enemy completely.
Yes, they set a trap, but that was just to make winning easier.
The title of King of Land Warfare never needs to be boasted about. Instead, as long as he goes to the battlefield, he can crush enemies that are several times larger than himself.
Especially now, tanks have just come out and have not been studied yet, and even the means to target them have not been found, so people are even more fearless.
In the rear, General Fake Wood saw this scene and even his breathing stopped. The fear in his eyes was so intense.
But at the same time, his expression was somewhat relieved.
It turns out that this is the hidden method of Flower Collar!
All the weakness, defeat and retreat are to create the best opportunity.
Until, at the most appropriate time, this magic-driven steel monster is brought before their eyes!
Fake Wood was almost certain that the other two armies would suffer losses, great losses, and even total annihilation.
But this thought only flashed through his mind and he put it behind him because he had to save himself now.
After calming down, he issued various orders and responded in a variety of ways at almost the fastest speed.
The giant deer knights gathered together and charged in small groups, trying to slow down the speed of the steel monster.
The soldiers in the rear used various carriages and baggage vehicles as cover to build a defense line as much as possible.
The Elderhorn Riders charge in small groups, and while they have the speed and agility, they lack the means to destroy tanks.
The fighting spirit slash and the cold weapon attacks were like an egg hitting a stone, completely ineffective.
Instead, two heavy machine guns fired, killing many knights' servants and apprentices.
The Imperial Eagle Knights focused on air-ground coordination, and the official Elk Knights all had extraordinary strength, but there was also a group of knight squires and knight apprentices who were only at the second level of strength.
They were too vulnerable to the heavy machine gun fire and were killed like wheat being cut.
However, they did buy some time for the 13th Division, with their crude defense line blocking the way.
To the rear, machine gun positions were set up, and several field guns were positioned and assembled to attempt a return fire.
Their speed was very fast and they did what they could do.
But this is not enough, far from enough!
The simple defense line could not withstand the tank bombardment and collision, and was torn to pieces in an instant.
The machine gun position was even more of a joke. The brave Bonaparte soldiers pulled the triggers, but the bullets could only leave behind a clanging sound of sparks on the tank armor.
As for the artillery, they were lucky and hit a tank in the distance, causing it to break down and tremble.
But they were completely helpless against those who rushed forward, and their field guns were destroyed or knocked over.
However, after breaking through the defense line, the tank soldiers discovered that there were not many soldiers in the rear.
Except for those who were blocking the enemy, the other soldiers had already retreated quickly.
No one knew where they found so many horses, two or even three people riding one, trying to escape as far as possible.
Their formation looked disorganized, but they still moved in small teams, keeping as much distance as possible.
This can reduce losses under artillery fire.
Of course, the speed of a tank is not comparable to that of a war horse. Bombarding it from a distance can kill many people.
But General Fake Wood was not unprepared!
He sent out a team of magicians to form a magic circle and unfolded a magic scroll made of dragon skin.
When the scroll was unfolded, the rich elemental power even caused the surrounding space to be turbulent. There was a crackling sound and cracks appeared one after another.
And from the cracks, rich earth elemental power flowed out, causing the earth to shake.
Legendary spell, group earthquake wave!
Of course, with such a long casting time, the tank soldiers did not just stand by and watch. At the same time, five magic tanks fired shells.
If this blow hits them hard, these magicians will die on the spot.
Either they were killed by the explosion or the magic backfired.
But at this moment, a figure fell from the sky and landed on the ground. The azure water-based fighting spirit spread outward, forming ripples that weakened the impact of the shells.
The fourth-level natural disaster of the Bonaparte Empire could no longer hold back and took action.
At the same time, the legendary magic was completed, as if a giant grabbed a corner of the earth and shook it hard.
