War seems to be the only theme that cannot be eliminated in human history. However, with different times, the main forces and fighting methods of war have changed.
In the ancient divine war, although the power levels of both sides were particularly high, the methods of use were simple and crude. Most of the two sides entered the battlefield with bare hands. The king's eight fists and street melees were fought with punches and kicks.
The most direct description.
And when the eternal holy war became the theme of the times, with the continuous replacement of war races, the methods of war naturally continued to change, including infantry, spear throwers, shield warriors, wizards, spellcasters, chariots, cavalry charges, cold warriors, etc.
In the age of weapons and magic, the main forces of war are constantly changing.
During the "peace period", the changes of various races are often not obvious. The main troops on the battlefield are still the same. What is remarkable is that the steel vests are thicker, and the improvement of weapon materials makes the archers' range 10% longer. But once the holy war period, each race will
Crazy new weapons
Emerge, directly from quantitative change to qualitative change. The main force that was used as a weapon to control the country one day will be proved to be waste by the cruel battlefield the next day, and then immediately eliminated or directly thrown into the second line. The battlefield with huge changes makes people feel that the previous
Fighting to the death or survival is like match-fixing.
During the world war, there were changes every year, new arms, new fighting methods, and new strategic ideas. If you fell behind, you would be beaten. When all the chips, whether material or intellectual, were invested in the cradle of war,
At that time, when thousands of years of accumulation are forcibly converted into combat power, anything is possible.
Now, the Holy War has officially broken out, and the great development of magic technology has changed a lot. There are countless highlights among them. New arms and new equipment have attracted countless attention, but the most obvious difference from the old era is the bright stars.
The most shining thing is the popularization and civilianization of air units.
In the past, only one human kingdom could afford to raise a gryphon brigade. Small and medium-sized countries that could raise aerial cavalry were a sign of extreme wealth, and these precious aerial knights would not be used to kill enemies on the frontal battlefield. Consider this.
When it comes to cherishment and maintenance costs, even if the exchange ratio is one to one hundred, you will still feel a loss.
At that time, these precious sky knights were often occupied by the children of noble lords. Their main job was reconnaissance and messengers. They could suppress the ground to a certain extent with absolute safety, and could be regarded as a kind of scout unit.
.
It means that the Gryphon Knight really needs to attack the ground. How can he expect the Sky Knight to shoot his crossbow from high in the air? With such a pathetic hit rate and range, it is better to spit directly at the ground. At least it can disgust the opponent and lower his morale.
At least, in the Eternal Night Era, the expensive Sky Knights were either honor guards or scouts, and the Bone Dragons could not find any decent opponents in the sky. When the Lan Kingdom was still around, the Aurora Knights were the super-top military unit that shocked the entire world.
But now, only more than ten years have passed. Bayer's Dragon Knights Chapter, which has expanded at least ten times, has become familiar to the world. The aerostats and battleships that fly overhead from time to time have become accustomed to it. If the Sky Knights are still regarded as
As a decoration, it is obviously behind the times.
"Donglan's magical technology leads the entire world, and Lan Country's technological power ranks first in the world!"
Well, I ignored the great engineer who said the subtle lines. At least they did complete the task I assigned.
The reconnaissance fighter planes never stopped cruising. Our scouts had already discovered their traces before the sight of the beasts came into contact. Even if the scout air cavalry made mistakes, with the help of the engineers, our ship-borne
The large-scale magic energy radar has also locked onto the amulets of the Phantom Face Demon.
Yes, they can use the monkey's paw amulet to block the positioning of the contract wrist wheel, but after we got the sample, those amulets became a positioning device. It can be easily found using magic radar and the mage's detection magic items.
the other party's position.
The scout's memory ball turned into an illusory scene, allowing us to see the battlefield chosen by our opponent.
It is a plain road between valleys. It seems spacious, but there are mountains on both sides, and this road is also an upward mountain road. The rugged mountain shape makes the knights have to slow down, and as long as the herd blocks the front opening, from
A sudden attack on both sides of the mountain could indeed wipe out all the knights gathered together.
Our radar also discovered traces of the Huanyan Demon from both sides of the mountain, indirectly piecing together its opponent's attack plan.
"Spread out, Qianben...I mean Phoenix Fighter and Aurora Knight. Xiaohong, stop being lazy and let your dragon fight to cooperate."
The Northern Lights was parked in the air, and the hatches on the left and right slowly opened. More than forty dwarf Phoenix fighter jets and nearly a hundred Aurora Knights swarmed out of it, and the escorting dragons also began to take action.
Another order has been issued, and the knights on the ground are stationed on the spot. There will be no ground troops on the next battlefield.
"Eight years ago, in a national war, if a giant dragon appeared on one side, even if it was a young dragon without wings, the morale of the other side would have collapsed. But now, if you don't jump out of that battlefield
More than a dozen dragons are not normal anymore, giant dragons are simply a regular unit..."
On the radar, the dragon head mark representing the dragon clan was slowly glowing, and the four red ones were flying faster and had already reached the top of the team.
The red dragons are experts in aerial combat and are also the vanguard of surprise attacks. The flame dragon breath that sweeps the ground is classic and practical, and the bellicose red dragons have also shown their desire for battle with practical actions... Of course, there are also prizes.
The desire for gold coins and the reward for hiring dragons are directly linked to the results of the battle. The young dragons are very eager for the carpet of gold coins covering the lair. That is the prerequisite for them to gain the love of the female dragon... How can you get married without a wedding room? Young male dragons
Dragons actually have the same troubles as humans.
The six black dragon heads flew much slower. They were scattered widely and guarded the sides and front of the team. They vaguely acted as guards for the "vulnerable" Phoenix fighters within the flying group. This was no accident.
It's about our positioning and air combat tactics.
The flying and aerial combat capabilities of the black dragon cannot be compared with the red dragon. The close combat ability is probably better than the white dragon, the shame of the dragon clan. The corrosive venom dragon breath has a limited range and is slow to take effect, but they are still regarded as powerful dragons, just because they
The racial talent is too powerful.
Yes, magic immunity, the magic immunity of the mage's enemies. Of course, no one can achieve true magic immunity. The black dragon's magic immunity is just scary to say, but in fact they are similar to the talents of the dark elves, just a strong
It's just magic resistance. But if it's against a human rookie mage, it's actually no different from magic immunity.
The older the black dragon is, the stronger its magic resistance is. Although the dragons hired by us are only young and mature dragons, they are still enough to be immune to arcane spells below the seventh level, and can greatly reduce the arcane spells below the ninth level.
Their mission is very simple, that is, to escort other air units and act as human shields when necessary. The main forces in air combat are heavy crossbows, instant magic, and magic scrolls. For the most important speed of air combat, the magic ring number will not be high.
, these young black dragons can barely be said to be indestructible flying fortresses to conventional mages and aerial combat mages.
As for their arrival, just the power of the red dragon seeping out immediately attracted the attention of their opponents.
In a panic, the flying units in the beast tide began to fight, but the dragon breath of the red dragon arrived first. The power of the dragon at the top of the food chain was fatal to the beast group. In front of the giant dragon, the low-level flying monsters could only
He was trembling and didn't dare to fly up to resist.
However, those mid-to-high-level monsters such as the Demonic Vulture, Lei Peng, Bipedal Dragon, and Manticore that were barely able to fly were greeted not by the roar of the dragon, but by the assault of the Aurora Knights.
Countless ice fragments turned into scattered pieces of ice. At the moment when the vision was blurred, Aurora's Ice Dragon Spear fiercely inserted into the body of the flying monster. The imploding ice-cold magic power simultaneously took away the victim's vitality and body temperature. This was
The combination punch most commonly used by Aurora Knights in aerial combat.
With just one encounter, those powerful mid-to-high-level monsters fell like dumplings.
The use of the Aurora Knight in the past was actually a misunderstanding. Instead of using it for ground attacks, it would be better to take advantage of its instant ice magic and aerial heavy armor units to give it a huge advantage in air combat.
Unlike those aerial monsters that rely on instinct to fight, the Aurora Knights, who are accustomed to tactical drills, always maintain a formation of several knights, maintaining the advantage of one more in a small area. When encountering top-level monsters that are difficult to deal with, they directly bypass them.
Open and let those rough-skinned dragons deal with it.
In tactical drills, using the dragons of the same team as human shields to avoid attacks is a very important tactical point. As an air combat unit, the dragons are thick-skinned and can ignore ordinary bows, arrows, and magic. This is their most shameless thing.
place.
At this time, each giant dragon is surrounded by two groups of eight to ten Aurora Knights, and this is a basic air combat unit.
The Aurora Knights are also very skilled in cooperating with each other. They create large-scale blizzards to affect each other, pile up ice armor and ice walls to defend against the opponent's impact, suddenly attack from behind the dragons on the flanks, and assassinate them in a surprise attack. A combat team passes sideways.
Monsters kept falling down, and the sky was swept clean along the way.
It is obvious that in the red dragon group, the red dragon is the spearhead of the attack, charging all the way, while the black dragon group is much slower, and they are mostly used as human shields for the sky knights.
This is a battle between tactics and instinct, perhaps, it can also be said to be a crushing one.
Those monsters that only relied on instinct to fight were deceived. Faced with an opponent they could not resist, amidst the dragon's roar, dragon's power, and their own miserable howls, the beast's survival instinct quickly took over, no matter how the Huanyan Demon below urged it.
, a large number of deserters have appeared in the air combat Warcraft, even though their number is ten times that of their opponents.
At this time, after air superiority was guaranteed, the fragile Phoenix fighters finally arrived on the battlefield and began their work.
This time, their mission was exactly the same as the last magic wave. The bottles and barrels of magic potions were thrown down one by one. The improved "special potion" was even more effective than last time. Soon, under the influence of hormones and special potions,
Driven by the desire, the beasts began to commotion and civil strife.
This is the essential difference between the two sides in dealing with war, and also the difference between intelligent creatures and beasts. Targeted medicines, advanced combat tools, and fighting methods determine the winner from the beginning.
The targeted and improved alchemy potion took effect very quickly, and the ferocious and reproductive instincts of the beasts were stimulated. The only targets for venting their anger were their own kind, and the entire herd became a sea of infighting.
After the air superiority was ensured, the Aurora Knight and the Dragon, who had spared their efforts, also started the next round of air strikes. However, when they found that the damage they caused was far less than the tide of beasts that were self-inflicted by the "drug", they concentrated on escort work.
, protect the fighter planes to replenish "ammunition" and continue to drop drugs.
The Phoenix fighter replenished the medicine four or five times, and the ambushers were almost wiped out. Even in the cold winter, the smell of blood still floated far away, and the remains of monsters were everywhere. I'm afraid we couldn't find them on the chaotic mountain top.
The fragments of the Phantom Face Demon.
And when the controller died, facing the threat of dragons and powerful enemies, the beasts began to flee in all directions. We won the victory, and our losses were negligible, but I couldn't be happy.
"... An entire afternoon was wasted, and more than half of the special potion was consumed. These little bastards have no idea how to cherish ammunition. The most troublesome thing is that the opponent has predicted our rescue route, so there must be a backup plan." (Unfinished)
to be continued.)
ps: So what? I wrote it yesterday and threw it in, but I didn’t send it out.
