The battle started again the day after the German advisory group arrived, and the whole morning was spent in the artillery battle between the two sides.
Texas launched all its strength and, relying on its superiority, suppressed the British artillery for a while. After all, their hastily arranged artillery positions were completely exposed to the field of vision of the artillery.
Even though the British army later sent out paladins to protect the artillery and dispatched several infantry companies to launch an offensive, they were easily repelled by the No. 2 artillery equipped with white crystal grenade launchers.
Judging from the results of the battle, it cannot be said that Giuliano’s idea of retreating to defend the city was a fantasy.
If the interference of the two factors of extraordinary combat power and floating airships is excluded, the British army wants to capture New Basilicata, and it will be difficult for more than 100,000 expeditionary forces to fill in, and such losses are obviously unbearable.
From ancient times to the present, siege battles have always been a huge problem.
Therefore, the Land Cruiser, a giant mobile fortress that can be driven to the front line of the position and provide shelter for the soldiers, has become the most advanced weapon of the great powers and is regarded by the great powers as the king of war that changes the times.
But New Basilicata is a mountain city built by the new wolf tribe regardless of loss and cost. The dangerous terrain makes the land cruiser completely useless, and can only be used with artillery and human lives.
“If we cannot kill the enemy’s dragon and liberate the dormant floating fleet, it is impossible to capture the enemy city in a short time unless we use those forbidden weapons.”
Admiral George frowned and looked at the sky. Yesterday, in front of the advisory group, they watched an imperial floating airship being shot down. Even if it was just an old supply ship, it was still a big loss.
War serves politics. With the arrival of the German delegation, invisible pressure fell on Marshal Julian and weighed heavily on his deputy.
Losing face in front of an ally will undoubtedly affect his determination to fulfill the mutual defense agreement.
This morning, Marshal Julian had already given him a death order. No matter what, he must first kill the three-headed dragon that was showing off its might.
“Send a message to the caster team to arrange the mass stasis spell in advance. This time, we can’t give the enemy another chance.”
Admiral George sighed softly. That was originally intended to deal with the big dragon. It would be easy to deal with the small one, but it was too wasteful.
War is about both sides constantly playing cards and exchanging pieces. In his opinion, throwing out the trump card for the sake of fighting for a moment is not a wise move.
“Your Excellency the Admiral, there is bad news. Last night, all the front-line officers of the New Brunswick Division were beheaded in their sleep.”
The communicator looked quite ugly: “Marshal Julian hopes you will go to his command post immediately.”
“Why did you inform me now about what happened last night?”
It was already noon.
George’s face darkened: “Didn’t the array for detecting evil work? I remember that every camp was patrolled by paladins and military mages? How did those New World wolves sneak into the camp to kill people?”
This matter is very serious. If they can kill the frontline officers this time, will they kill the senior generals next time?
…
The ones who sneaked down the mountain to assassinate were naturally Valentina, Cherinina, and the assassins of the Saluzzo family. Among all the wolves, only they, as an old assassin family, could complete such an assassination mission.
But that’s the most. The British are too rich. There are too many arrays in the camp, and they are all designed to target dark creatures. It is too difficult to assassinate senior personnel.
In the newly opened Dragon Garden in Wolf Castle.
“Boss, I’m going to get thin if this continues.”
The poisonous dragon head said weakly. Spraying dragon flames is quite physically demanding. He shot down three airships these days. He had no way to injure or kill the enemy. He felt that his body was about to be hollowed out.
The flame dragon head, on the other hand, had a small brain capacity. After days of fighting, the biggest feeling he had was: “Killing is cool!”
“Don’t complain, idiot. If your majesty doesn’t take action, the enemy will have to use a lot of strength to defend against it – just like in Constantinople, Mahamu II has been reluctant to use us. Isn’t it because your majesty has a trump card?”
The cursed dragon head couldn’t help but scold. He claimed to be the only wise man among the three heads, but in terms of action, he had to be restrained by his two “brothers”, even if they were stupid.
The poisonous dragon head was furious: “Bullshit, among the three of us, only the guy with a head full of fire and muscles is a fool, how dare you compare me with him.”
It has always claimed that its wisdom is second only to the poisonous dragon head, and in fact it is true.
But it thinks that it is only slightly inferior to the poisonous dragon head, and because its strength is not as good as the fire dragon head, but it is worse than the curse dragon head, it complacently thinks that it has the advantages of both, eliminating the shortcomings, and should be the leader of the three heads.
Hearing the slander of the poisonous dragon head, the fire dragon head, who was gnawing on the longhorn cattle sent by the Texans, raised his head suddenly and was about to get angry, but Losa slapped him back with a slap: “It’s none of your business, eat obediently.”
“Oh.”
The fire dragon head’s anger suddenly disappeared by half, not because his temper had improved, but because the “three brothers” shared a body, and anyone could eat, just to satisfy their appetite.
The irritable fire dragon leader also has his own little cunning. Let these two self-proclaimed smart idiots quarrel. Eating is the important thing.
Lothar had no time to care about the three heads fighting each other. He flipped through the documents that the Saluzzo assassins found from the enemy camp last night, trying to pick out some useful information.
Cherinina’s figure suddenly appeared on the side and whispered: “My lord, Sir Anton, it’s the observer left by Crown Prince Ruprecht. He claimed that the observation group sent by His Majesty the Emperor has entered the British camp.”
Lothar was slightly stunned: “No wonder the enemy’s offensive today is so fierce. It seems that the enemy’s commander has made up his mind to show his strength in front of his allies.”
Reading the correct version! 6=9+Shu_Bar first published this novel.
He patted the head of the fire dragon: “Hurry up and eat, we will take off to fight later.”
Facing Cherinina’s worried eyes, he couldn’t help laughing: “They don’t know, you should also know that I can’t die, right? Don’t worry, the more impatient the enemy is, the more flaws they will reveal.”
He emphasized his tone, and seemed confident: “The opportunity to end this war is coming soon!”
At this time, the No. 2 turret felt that the pressure it was under was getting greater and greater. The turret on the top was almost completely destroyed. Only some small-caliber artillery in some bunkers could be used, but it could only be used to deal with the enemy’s infantry at most, and it was impossible to count on the enemy’s artillery battle.
On the contrary, the artillery support of the No. 3 and No. 4 turrets could still cover the mountain road, which enabled them to hold the turret firmly despite the continuous reduction in personnel and without replenishment.
“Damn it, there’s something wrong with the armored infantry sent out by the enemy today!”
In the smoke, armored giants carrying shields walked out one after another. Their shields could even block the artillery fire from other artillery batteries. In this way, they formed a “tortoise shell formation” similar to that used by the ancient Romans, and slowly approached the artillery battery.
“Those are the guards of the damned old woman Victoria, called the Queen’s Hand Guards.”
“It’s terrible. That damned old woman didn’t even care about her own safety and sent these guys to fight.”
“Idiot, these iron monsters have already joined the battle during the New Naples landing. They can even block Lady Jeanna’s Holy Spear. We are finished. While there is still time, hurry up and write a suicide note.”
“Get out, I will kill you if you dare to shake the morale of the army again.”
Looking at the panicked figures around him, the chief wing cavalry Ulm waved his hands and shouted: “Everyone, don’t lose hope. His Majesty. Mr. Lothar will not abandon you. As long as you hold on firmly, there is hope!”
Mr. Lothar’s four words seemed to have magic, and the shaken morale of the army quickly settled down.
They all looked at Ulm.
The cornerman guarding the fort suddenly shouted: “Comrades, so many distinguished guests have fallen without hesitation in the battle to help us defend our homeland. Noble people like the Knight of Ulm have never been afraid of the enemy’s guns and cannons. Have we lost the courage to face death?”
“Fight the British!”
“We must fight to the last man like the brothers in the No. 1 fort!”
The fort defenders shouted.
They still pinned their hopes on “Mr. Lothar”, but not the hope of saving them, but the hope that their sacrifice would be meaningful and keep Texas alive.
