The western part of the Double Fortress Battlefield is an empty grassland, the main continent of the entire Legend Continuity World is located in the equatorial zone, Vinci is on the western side of the continent, Alim magic civilization occupies the middle of the continent, and the Khede people occupy the western side of the continent. Due to the equatorial circulation, both ends of the continent across the planet's equator are a humid climate suitable for human life, while the middle of the continent is a dry desert climate due to the sea winds from the east and west that bring in water vapor not being able to blow in. So this planet human survival on the continent when there is no winter, the temperature is suitable for all seasons, only precipitation deviation caused by the dry season rainy season.
The plants in this grassland were no longer green. Dragon cavalrymen with heavy muskets in their hands ran wildly through the wilderness, firing at airships that were two hundred meters high in the sky. Two hundred meters was the height at which most trade blimps flew. Because all trade points throughout Vinci could yank down two hundred meter high airships, airships that flew higher were unable to trade with normal neutral points because it would be too costly for other merchant houses to yank down airships of this height. Besides, two hundred meters high in the sky freight airships can be less threatened. For example, it looked like the mounted musketeers were firing very fiercely at the sky, but even if they were replaced with bullets specialized for the air, the threat to the cargo airships was still very small.
Of course, the cargo airship is not unarmed, two airship airbags hanging below the silo on the head and tail of the two machine guns, to the sprinkler like spraying bullets below, to the same flexible cavalry is not much lethality. A machine gun on an airship is already the limit of an armed airship. As for airships with artillery, only the siege airships built by Mina City State are currently available, but this kind of strategic weapon will not appear in secondary battlefields.
As for ordinary cargo airships, they are not qualified to place artillery, and the huge recoil of artillery firing is enough to shatter the airbags and hull structure of airships. Moreover, there is no point of contact in the air, and the cabin will sway violently after firing, the accuracy and distance of the artillery firing are not guaranteed, and it is enough to install two machine guns to scare the enemy.
Originally, the route this airship flew was not here, only because after the appearance of Mina's twin fortresses' defense system, these cargo airships had all taken a detour. Going above the fortresses and turrets, a flight altitude of two hundred meters would definitely be shot down, and raising the flight altitude to solve the problem would be too costly, so the airships could only fly in a roundabout way.
The airship had already flown safely seven times, three times driving away Mina's harassing troops. This time, when the airship's captain thought that this time would be the same as usual, he noticed that ten boulder-like bumps on the yellowish grass suddenly lifted a layer of skin, revealing the black holes of the gun ports. The airship tried to evade. But the huge hull could not react immediately. Flashes of light emerged from the black holes of the cannons on the ground aimed at themselves.
The shells exploded fifty meters away from the airships, they were shrapnel, and the bursting submunitions were like dense swarms of bees, sweeping towards the airships in a black swath. Many of the shrapnel shells pierced right through the thin tin and wood panels of the blimp, hitting into the blimp's stores. Of course, the worse thing was the fragile airbags, the shrapnel shattered one of the airbags of the airship, the gas in the airbags quickly drained away, and the airship, which could not keep its balance, fell down from the sky.
The artillery was under Renyu's command, and in order to ambush this airship, Renyu and his troops hunkered down for an hour and a half under a camouflage layer of straw curtains. During this time the steam engine inside the gun carriage kept the machine activated, and the steam and heat made the camouflage extremely difficult to endure.
The sweaty result was that the laden blimp crashed to the earth, its transport cargo becoming a supply for the Twin Fortresses. Watching the friendly troops cheerfully raise their sabers and charge towards the zone where the blimp had crashed, Renyu shook his head. This was bound to be a shoot down with no survivors.
The feelings of frontline soldiers in a long war are not something that noble lords in the back and over coffee can appreciate, and those who hover between life and death should not be expected to adhere to any battlefield guidelines or normal morals. Likewise these colonial soldiers with no hope for the future as well as mercenaries cannot be expected to have chivalrous conduct. They want to vent.
A few surviving women were dragged out and taken away by these men.Renyu had already encountered this situation more than once when he was commanding the army on a solo mission, killing and ravaging each other in a fit of rage had become a common practice for these soldiers.
For the first time Renyu tried to stop it, but was bewildered to realize he couldn't. The army he was a part of had long since gone mad. The higher-ups are still shouting about destroying the Governor and conquering the entire Vinci Continent, and are blind to the insanity of the grassroots army.Renyu realizes that the higher-ups won't be able to block this outlet.
An officer of the cavalry squad drove his horse to fifty meters away from the artillery unit and beckoned. This was the gesture of a brother troop sharing the spoils. Looking at the excited expressions of the soldiers around him, Renyu bowed his head in acquiescence and didn't object, only turning an hourglass upside down and said, "Go over to the three artillery wagons and bring our share over here, you'll be given twenty-five minutes."
A group of soldiers ran happily like monkeys in three gun carriages.
“Why am I fighting here.” Renyu felt a bit confused. A wave of disgust rose in Renyu's heart as he heard the sound of crazy laughter in the distance. As if to find comfort for himself, Renyu forces his gaze back from the distance and says softly to himself, “At the very least, I need to stay alive myself first. Push for this war to end quickly, just end it.” Renyu certainly didn't dare to care about the soldiers.Mina's king was already heading towards madness fueled by his victory. Under the trend of this madness, Renyu's obstruction would only be a mantle.
At this point every traveler can influence the battle in their own way. Take Andrew for example. He has become a hero in the Mina Expeditionary Force. He led a squad down to carry out infiltration operations, defeated the guardian forces of a rival city-state, controlled the top brass of that city-state, and made that city-state fall to Mina.
The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.
In this war, another white man, Vasires, also stood out, commanding cavalry with excellent locomotion, seemingly able to clearly sense hostile points on the map, and always able to lead his troops to escape from enemy encirclement.Renyu surmised that he should have come with the talent of a mini-map, and was born to be a commander. Before, he did not show his talent due to not obtaining the right to command, in this kind of chaotic battlefield, his talent was discovered, and he was immediately promoted by the line of fire.
The battle for the plains of Dirce began three days later at dusk. By this time, Giacomo's main army had a huge airborne siege airship and two “Juggernauts” the size of land cruisers. Under the cover of numerous artillery pieces, they began to launch a general attack on the city-states opposing Mina on the Dirce Plain.
In one of the largest engagements, the Mina Expeditionary Force committed its main corps of one hundred and twenty-three combat squads. They engaged Duke Silari's main corps with a combination of airships, land cruisers, artillery, and mechanized weapons.
The immensely large siege airship in the sky had a disc-shaped chamber weighing thousands of tons hanging below it. The disc-shaped chamber was surrounded by many windows, like the gun windows of a sailing battleship, from which a circle of densely-packed gun barrels protruded.
A total of forty guns protruded from the entire disk-shaped chamber! When one of the guns on the disk fired, the strong recoil would cause the disk to automatically rotate at an angle, which just allowed the muzzle of another gun to be accurately aimed at the target. In this way, the circular pod could form a continuous fire suppression against the enemy troops in the distance.
It was like a relentless carousel of death, constantly turning in the air and pouring endless artillery fire onto the enemy. At the same time, the area shelled by the giant airship provided excellent guidance to the artillerymen on the ground. They closely followed the rhythm of the airships and blasted towards the enemy with their swift and incomparable firepower along the way.
Seeing that the enemy's artillery was silenced, the two two-thousand-ton Sky God tanks' rotating twin canon tubes. Executing destruction on targets three hundred meters away, the tracks were driven by two five-meter-diameter drive wheels at the front and rear, crushing towards the enemy's densest enemy group.
The human forces collapsed near instantly in front of the Skygod tanks. Some of the steam spiders tried to mantle their way through, but anyone with a little common sense could see that as long as our tanks continued to advance, these steam-bubbling spider would just stick to the tracks a little bit under the heavy tracks.
At the same time General Kalini, who commanded the Twin Fortresses, in order to cooperate with Giacomo, also launched a large-scale attack on Duke Silari's city-state, with a total of forty-three combat squads. Five of these were mechanized squads and four were artillery squads. These forty artillery pieces were commanded by Renyu.
A large number of fighting forces poured out of the interior of the twin fortresses, instantly attracting the attention of the already understrength Duke Silari's Close Guard Regiment.
On the open and wild field, Renyu once again commanded forty cannons to shell the city-state. Based on the judgment of the situation on the battlefield and General Kalini's request, one by one, the data of mental calculations were reported out from Renyu's mouth. The cannons methodically shelled the legions trying to gather near the city-state. This accurate shelling prevented the opposite side from forming an effective battle formation. The cavalry simply couldn't charge against the musketeers until they formed an effective shock formation.
The guardian city-state also had an artillery group, but during this month of harassment Renyu had encountered this old adversary several times.At first, the opponent tried to take out two forts with artillery, but Renyu seized the opportunity to conduct a counter-artillery operation, and during a brief ten-minute firefight, the artillery combat team retreated in disarray, leaving behind the wreckage of four artillery carriages. Then, during Renyu's subsequent harassment operations, the artillery often encountered Renyu's commanded troops.
A huge shell exploded in front of Renyu's army, the fire of the explosion enveloped half of the RoboCop squad. Metal parts that were disintegrated by the explosives splattered in all directions, and some hit the armor of the to gun carriage and were ejected.Renyu was no longer the rookie he was a few months ago. He took a deep breath to steady his heartbeat, and estimated the position of the local artillery group based on the enemy trajectory to fire counter artillery coverage.
Under one covering shot, the distant enemy artillery quieted down. The earth began to tremble regularly, that was the enemy cavalry beginning to charge, a hundred meters away the charging cavalry held their sabers high, the blades reflecting the sunlight emitting a blinding light. In front of the artillery their own tall mechanized soldiers stepped forward, while behind the artillery, the infantry trotted forward at a neat pace.
When the cavalry was about seventy meters away from the artillery, Renyu ordered forty guns to level their muzzles and aim at the oncoming cavalry, the horses seemed to feel the terror contained in the black holes of the barrels and unconsciously deflected their direction. However, at that moment, fire was opened and a shell flew out from the gap in the ranks of the mechanized soldiers. The shells landed in front of the cavalry line, and then bounced up half a meter as if they were floating before exploding!
The huge storm of air waves wrapped around the debris on the ground, like a storm of bullets sweeping across the first platoon of cavalry. An entire platoon of cavalry was directly violently overturned, the first platoon of cavalry and horses in this storm of explosions were directly torn into meat scraps and blood foam. The strong explosion storm also decelerated the second platoon of cavalry, these riders were in front of their comrades and horses bone fragments and blood muscle fragments confused all over the body when the face. The courage to fight was also swept away.
The artillery barrage was perfectly timed, suppressing the momentum of the entire charging Knights. The steel mechanized soldiers waved their long swords and walked into the battlefield, the gun carriages started to retreat after firing their cannons, and the following was the melee stranglehold between the infantry and the mechanized soldiers.
Twelve hundred cavalrymen, forty combat squads, were first struck by artillery fire, then hindered by the mechanical soldiers, and finally harvested by the musketeers firing in unison. Under these triple blows, the entire battlefield was piled with corpses, and countless horses and people were wailing on the ground.
Kalini, who was prepared to hold the enemy forces at bay for Giacomo, did not expect the war to go so well. The last mobile guardian force of the entire city-state was lost. That night, Kalini ordered his troops to move on and the battle line advanced to the foot of the city-state.
The shelling began. Shell after shell crashed into the steel buildings, exploding fire with incendiary shells like skywomen scattering flowers, making graceful arcs in the sky, smashing into one building after another. Three hours of shelling left the steel city littered with incendiary smoke. The mortars in the military zone didn't exactly guard the entire city. The smoke ignited by the artillery shelling the demilitarized zone also left the military zone defenseless.
"Stop the shelling ......" Kalini ordered Renyu as he looked through his binoculars at the city-state, "We are going to win."
Renyu asked, "Is the general sending out ground troops to enforce the occupation of the city now?"
General Kalini craned his head to look at Renyu for about three seconds, then sighed and said, "Our side of this city-state is under-controlled right now. When Giacomo arrives, the city can be taken completely."
A trace of doubt flashed in Renyu's eyes, but he realized it in an instant. In his heart, he laughed to himself, it hadn't been long since he had just left his original world, how could he even forget the human condition? The conclusion of the Battle of Dilsey Plains was one that only the Mina royal family was qualified to draw.
