Faced with successive failures, Carter, who was a little angry at first, had to turn his head to comfort his subordinates to prevent them from becoming timid.

At the same time, Carter had to begin to summarize the experience of the previous failed attacks.

[Mainly because of the slope, which greatly hinders the progress of the soldiers, causing them to almost become targets and be shot down... Even if I can ignore this kind of terrain, what's the use of rushing in alone? Is it possible to find the one on the opposite side?

The leader has a championship duel?]

Seeing that it was past three o'clock in the afternoon, not long before the sun went down, Carter had to think hard about tactics.

At the same time, all the company-level officers were also called. As the saying goes, there were three cobblers with one Zhuge Liang, and a "Zhuge Liang meeting" might be able to brainstorm some solutions.

"What if the Giant Eagle Knight launches a surprise attack at night and parachutes into the mountain with dozens of soldiers? We let the troops reach a distance of more than a hundred meters in advance. Once the Giant Eagle Knight successfully allows the commando to occupy a place, the troops on the hillside will

You can wait for the opportunity."

Legolas from the Inner Ring Kingdom took the lead in proposing a good idea.

"Sir Legolas, I have to say that this idea is very good, but our giant eagle companion can only carry two people at the same time. It cannot allow dozens of people to airborne at the same time. It must be done in waves. But this will lose

That’s the point of airborne raids.”

The Eagle Knight, who was also summoned to join the fight, immediately pointed out the shortcomings of this plan.

"Well, it is indeed a good idea. We can write it down first and use it when we encounter the opportunity in the future. However, it cannot be used this time. In addition to the fact that the giant eagle cannot carry too many people, the main point is that we cannot delay

At night, now we have at most four to five hours, and we must resolve the battle before dark."

Carter also proposed an unrealistic place. Although he was not aware that the surrounding Chaos troops had begun to encircle him, he did not intend to spend a night in such a place. In a night battle, the combat effectiveness of the elves without fortifications would be greatly reduced.

This has been verified when I followed the Eagle Legion to clear out the beastmen in the forest.

"...Captain Carter, I have an idea, but...it feels a bit too incredible."

Just when everyone was immersed in thinking and calmed down, Astolfo, who was standing next to Carter, rolled his eyes around for a few times and suddenly had an idea like a flash of inspiration.

"It's okay. Just tell us. We are just thinking of ways now. Any ideas can be put forward."

"Hey, hehe, I suddenly thought, since Captain you have the 'special explosive magic item' (Note 1) given by Goddess Elsa, we have nothing but to dig a hole directly to their feet, and then use enough explosives to make them

They fly into the sky, just like crows... Haha, my idea is really a bit weird..."

Seeing the stunned expressions of his comrades around him, Astolfo quickly laughed.

"No! You have a great idea!"

Carter, who was sitting aside, was also shocked by his deputy's thoughts.

"……Yeah?"

Carter, who realized that his thinking was a bit rigid, immediately started brainstorming and analyzing carefully after receiving Astolfo's advice.

"This is a good idea, but it would take too long to dig a tunnel to reach their feet...a few hours may not be enough..."

Carter, whose thinking has been a little stuck on cold weapons and magic recently, after Astolfo's prompting, some memories that had been buried for a long time emerged.

……………………

The trench warfare during the First World War caused both the Allied Powers and the Central Powers to suffer a lot. Both sides killed and injured nearly a generation of young people of working age in the endless cycle of "artillery bombarded the infantry, and the infantry rushed and the artillery bombarded them."

The ‘artillery offensive tactics’ extended from the experience of World War I appeared for the first time during the Soviet-German War.

That is, the artillery barrage continues to extend forward, while the infantry uses the crater created by the barrage at the extreme distance to follow closely, and rushes into the enemy's position before the artillery ends, thereby achieving the purpose of breaking through.

This requires an extremely high technical and tactical level, because once the artillery makes a mistake or the infantry following the barrage gets a little closer, serious friendly fire will occur.

……………………

"...Just follow this plan! Beldo, are you confident that your engineers will complete this mission?"

After spending thirty minutes carefully explaining the new tactics to his officers, Carter said to the engineer captain.

The engineer captain of Beldo who was asked had a heavy face, frowned, and looked quite bad.

"Captain, your suggestion is very good, but..."

Beldo didn't quite agree with this proposal, mainly because he was worried about accidentally injuring his comrades.

"Don't be afraid, we still have time. You should immediately lead your engineers to conduct a drill. After I send the signal, you will first bomb the fortifications built by Nurgle's lackeys on the mountain peak, and then adjust immediately when you see the second signal I send.

The shooting angle extends back fifty meters, and continues to extend at the third signal! The signal method is the fireball technique that flies vertically upwards. I will try to make it as conspicuous as possible. As long as the shooting angle is adjusted in time, it can be maximized.

Do you have the confidence to avoid accidental injuries?"

"Yes! But please allow me to ask for the help of the mage. The Reaper Ballista we are using now can guarantee accuracy at a distance of 400 meters without the blessing of magic. Beyond this distance, I cannot guarantee any landing point. I

A magician’s blessing is needed to increase the controllable range!”

"Okay! Then please ask a few mages to assist them! The others will return to their respective companies immediately and be ready for battle!"

"Yes!"xn

The companies that had been prepared long ago, under the leadership of Carter himself, once again climbed to the middle of the mountain and took up positions.

After more than half an hour of ink-writing, the anxious engineer captain finally sent the signal that he was ready.

"call!"

As a huge fireball flew high into the sky, the ballistae positioned at the foot of the mountain began to unleash its power.

Continuous explosions and shock waves instantly overturned the defenses in the direction of attack, and Carter immediately began to charge upward with his troops.

Unlike others, Carter could almost be described as "walking like flying" when advancing on the slope. When he was only thirty meters away from the top of the mountain, he had to stop and wait for his troops.

The shock wave when the detonating talisman on the crossbow exploded could be felt even from a distance of more than thirty meters, and small rocks flying around from the explosion hit the star armor from time to time.

The non-stop bombardment caused the followers of Nurgle to flee to a safer rear, only to wait for the bombardment to end before coming out.

However, the "artillery offensive" that did not appear until the Soviet-German War in history is not so easy to crack.

At another signal from Carter, the ballistae began to extend its fire, causing the Nurgle believers in the direction of the attack to continue to retreat, leaving the position on the mountainside unguarded for a while.

"kill!!!"

With the use of this tactic, the elves of the Sky Eagle Brigade almost easily occupied the position, looking with excited eyes at the Nurgle believers in the distance who were crowded and hiding in a forest to avoid the bombing.

"The shield-wielding crossbowmen are ready, the first to fifth enchanted weapon companies are coming to kill me!"

Note 1: Since the goddess Elsa gave Carter the precious talisman, many people have regarded Carter as Elsa's chosen god. The origin of the detonating talisman he used was also blamed on Elsa by unknown people. Afterwards, whether it was
