Chapter six hundred and seventeenth caliber is king
As soon as the two chiefs withdrew from the camp, General Cologne could not restrain his joy and said: "Unexpectedly, things went smoother than we expected. As long as they come to Yongye Army to see it in person, they will never be able to refuse us again.
Whether it’s faith, force, or a good life.”
Compared to other senior leaders of the Yongye Army, General Cologne and General Zuyuan, both of whom were from Kentana barbarians, have more complicated moods.
Although they had been mentally prepared after being brainwashed for a long time, the Kentana barbarians were their own race after all, and they preferred to resolve the matter in this way without using weapons.
"Don't be too pessimistic, don't be too optimistic. At best, we have a good start now. Don't draw arbitrary conclusions before the final results come out." Sean poured cold water on them and said, "We are seeing the moves now.
To break up the attack, we must first deal with these two people who are going to our territory."
"Who will go back with the lord? Who will stay here?" Marshal Tagore asked.
"Clan Chief Locke and General Zuyuan will work hard and follow me back to the military headquarters. You and General Cologne will temporarily stay here with your people. Before we come back, you just need to take care of the envoy team and don't make any unexpected moves to irritate them.
" Sean ordered.
Sean's arrangement naturally has deep meaning.
General Colon has certain connections and reputation among the Kentana barbarians, and can better talk to Chief Prey.
Marshal Tagore has joined the Yongye Army for many years and has rich experience in all aspects.
The two of them complement each other, and if something unexpected happens, they can adapt accordingly.
"Lord, you only bring Chief Locke and General Zuyuan, so your strength is a bit weak. You might as well bring General Harun and General Wade with you." Marshal Tagore suggested.
General Harlan and General Wade are the other two Kentana barbarian champion knights.
"It's enough to have Chief Locke and General Zuyuan here." Sean refused, "As long as you enter the mountain, you have entered our territory. It will not exceed a day's journey. I will not let them dominate the journey. They will forget it."
They want to set up an ambush, but they may not necessarily find the right place on the vast ice field, so it would be more appropriate to stay on your side to build up momentum."
"Since the lord knows it well, we won't force it and be careful all the way." Marshal Tagore didn't force it. After all, Sean is the most capable one among them.
If the Kentana barbarian had any bad intentions and underestimated Sean's personal fighting ability, he would probably fall into the trap.
After making the decision, Sean and the others were very efficient in their actions.
When they appeared in front of Chief Prey and Chief Yal again, they both had a huge battle backpack on their backs.
"Since we are going to continue marching at a high speed, I don't know how prepared you are, so I prepared one for you without permission. I hope you don't mind." Sean gestured to General Zuyuan.
General Zuyuan sent two combat backpacks filled with various emergency supplies to Chief Yaer and Chief Scott. Judging from the size, they were tailor-made for the Kentana barbarians.
Before they could ask, Sean took the initiative to explain: "It contains enough food and clean water for a Kentana man to survive alone for a week, as well as some tools for survival in the wild. I know that the Kentana people
They are all top players in this field and have many skills of their own, but if it can be more convenient, it is not!"
After Chief Prey and Chief Yal briefly inspected the numerous supplies and uses in their combat backpacks, they threw away the salutes they had prepared without hesitation.
There is no comparison between the two. The contents inside are not as practical as the other, nor are they as comfortable to carry.
Chief Prey sincerely praised: "From a young age, I have seen that the lord's carefulness and thoroughness are far beyond what we can match. Perhaps the lord's territory is even better than what you described."
"You can see the results in a week." Sean smiled and didn't say anything more.
"Then let's see you in a week." Chief Prey said.
Under the watch of a group of high-ranking Kentana barbarians, Sean and his group of five people and ten korei beasts embarked on the road back to the Eternal Night Army.
We traveled day and night along the way, changing riders without changing people.
When Sean and his companions were on their mission, the journey took nearly ten days, but they completed the journey in just two days and two nights.
Maybe Chief Prey and the others didn't have any evil intentions at all.
Or maybe Sean's precautions were strict enough and they had no chance to make a move.
The whole process was uneventful.
After Sean and the others returned to the eastern range of the Andes Mountains, the first thing they encountered was the Guards Corps led by Marshal Dixon.
As the elite among the elite leaders of the Evernight Army, they are always at the forefront of the war.
It is also the best place to show force to the Kentana barbarians.
Sean did not specially hold military exercises for Chief Yael and Chief Scott, but only took them to watch the normal training of the Guards Corps.
The scene of thousands of soldiers practicing at the same time was something Chief Yal and Chief Scott had never seen before, and they were truly shocked.
That kind of unity and tacit cooperation is something the Kentana barbarians don't have.
The personal force that the Kentana barbarians were originally proud of was difficult to gain when faced with the soldiers of the Evernight Army who possessed combat skills.
The Odin Orcs surpass the Byrons in terms of personal combat effectiveness, relying on their innate magic-like skills, which allow them to explode with unexpected lethality even in the absence of formal training.
Now the Eternal Night Soldiers are more powerful than the Odin Orcs. They have multiple combat skills, and their combat power naturally soars rapidly.
Along the way, the Yongye Army has eight such legions.
Although the personnel composition of the following legions is higher, it is not as good as those in the front.
But they have an advantage that the previous ones did not have, that is, they can defend the city. Before threatening them, they must first climb the twenty-meter-high city wall.
Standing on the ruins of the forts, not only was the calm Chief Yal speechless for a long time, but even the impulsive and irritable Scott looked extremely gloomy.
Even if his overall view is poor, he still knows very well what this series of castles means.
This means that the Andis people have always been wary of them. They regarded them as imaginary enemies many years ago and made full defense preparations.
This means that even if the Kentana barbarians defeat the five elite legions placed in front of them by the Eternal Night Army, they will still hit this extremely strong fortress.
Just facing the eight elite legions led by the Yongye Army, even if there is a gap in equipment and training between the two sides, the Kentana barbarians can still make up for it with their own bravery. If everything is put on the line, the outcome is still completely uncertain.
But if you add this fortress, there will be only one result. The Kentana barbarians will be blocked in the eastern range of the Andes Mountains and will not be able to go south.
No matter how brave the Kentana barbarians are, they can't do anything about this fortress that occupies a natural danger.
They are not good at making siege equipment at all. Is it possible to let them climb such a tall fortress with their bare hands? Or let them use the bodies of their tribesmen to pile it up?
Even if the Kentana savages are taller and stronger than the Andis, they are only a few centimeters thicker when they lie down.
At least Chief Yal and Chief Scott racked their brains and didn't know how to crack this hard bone.
If the march of the Kentana barbarians to the south is blocked, it won't take long, it will only take a year and a half. Even if the Yongye Army leader does not launch a full-scale counterattack, hunger and cold will push the Kentana barbarians into a desperate situation.
"Today I will show you the last and most important link of our army's military strength. Please come with me," Sean, who was accompanying the whole process, said to the two Kentana barbarian envoys.
besides!
Chief Yal and Scott looked at each other, and seemed to be able to see the surprise in each other's eyes.
The series of things that the Yongye Army showed before they took the lead were shocking enough. The Kentana barbarians couldn't resist with all their strength. The opponent now told them that this was not all, they still had the bottom of the package.
What on earth was it that made him put it so carefully at the end?
Sean led Chief Yael and Chief Scott to a large arrow tower, which was the commanding heights of the entire ruins and forts. Standing here, most of the fortress was under their eyes.
Sean nodded to Marshal McGee of the First Army and said, "Marshal McGee, you can start."
"The test of the artillery defense system has officially begun. All artillery squads are ordered to execute the plan as ordered." Marshal McGee turned to the bodyguard beside him and said.
Marshal McGee's order was passed along with a series of flags, and various orders were heard in the distance.
"Prepare all infantry artillery in the first defense area, and release ordinary ammunition!"
"All infantry artillery in the second defense area are ready, fire bombs, fire!"
"Prepare all infantry artillery in the third defense zone and release ordinary ammunition!"
Following the command, the sound of "boom-boom-boom" could be heard endlessly.
At first, Chief Yal and Chief Scott were full of confusion, not knowing what kind of medicine Sean was selling in his gourd.
The sound coming from afar was indeed a bit loud, but that was all. This level of sound was far from the level of killing people. Do they think this kind of sound could scare the Kentana warriors?
Until a series of explosions came from a hilltop several kilometers away, and in an instant, the hilltop was engulfed in raging fire.
"This is?"
"How is that possible?"
Chief Yaer and Chief Scott suddenly leaned down on the city wall, with most of their bodies stretched out, as if they wanted to see more clearly, their eyes almost popped out, filled with unbelievable shock and anger.
Because Sean chose a very good position, he could clearly see the operation of many artillery pieces, and they witnessed the entire process of shells being discharged from the barrel.
Knowing that the culprit in the distance is on the city wall.
The impact of the artillery on Chief Yael and Chief Scott was far greater than that of the ancestral spirits.
In the eyes of rulers like Chief Yal and Chief Scott, those who believe in the invisible can be higher than the ancestral spirits.
In other words, they only believe what is good for them.
If the ancestral spirits have no desires or demands and give them blessings unconditionally, they will enshrine them on the altar without hesitation.
If this ancestral spirit comes with utilitarian intentions, then we should consider it carefully.
True or false is not that important.
At this point, there is no essential difference between Chief Yar, Chief Prey and the Lords and Nobles of the Byron Alliance.
The possession of ancestral spirits can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers. It is still within the scope of their understanding. The disparity in strength is not that big. At least it can be offset by human power.
This kind of long-range explosion attack is completely beyond their understanding.
In the face of such a mountain-shattering attack, no matter how brave the Kentana barbarians are, they will turn into a pile of corpses.
A fortress would leave them with nothing to do, if coupled with such a powerful weapon.
There was no way to fight this battle. The Kentana barbarians were beaten to pieces before they even got close to the enemy.
At this time, the command from the top of the city came faintly again.
"Fortress Cannon No. 1, pulse bombs, fire!"
"Fortress Cannon No. 2, pulse bombs, fire!"
"Fortress Cannon No. 3, pulse bombs, fire!"
Tom! Tom! Tom!
Another dull roar came.
It's just different from the previous one.
Compared with the short and crisp roar before, this time it was even duller. Every time the roar sounded, the entire fortress seemed to be shaking.
Then a more violent explosion came from several kilometers away, and the hilltop that was burning in front of them just now disappeared.
The terrifying shock wave formed when the pulse bomb exploded fell here, causing the effect of peeling off layers of skin.
Chief Yal and Chief Scott could hold their fists with their mouths open at this moment.
This is a heavy artillery piece tailor-made by the Firearms Bureau for city defense - the Type 13 Fortress Cannon.
As the name suggests, this heavy artillery can only be used as a defensive weapon.
Because it is too heavy and heavy, according to the current transportation level, unless it is carried on a ship, it will not be able to walk a few kilometers on land before it may get stuck in a pit and become unable to walk, and its maneuverability is too poor.
Even with this fatal flaw, Yongye Army Leader still makes it, so it certainly has merit.
That's the caliber.
The artillery technology of Yong Ye's army is still at the level where the caliber is king.
Large caliber means that the cannonball can be made larger, with more primer and explosives, naturally greater propulsion, longer range, and greater explosive power.
The shelling just now proved this. The power of one heavy artillery shot was enough to defeat an artillery squad consisting of five mortars.
However, its main role is not here, but in the range. Their effective range can reach more than ten kilometers.
Launching long-range strikes against the enemy before they even see the city is a perfect match for the aerial reconnaissance troops led by the Yongye Army.
As the last line of defense against the Kentana barbarians, the ruins of the forts are naturally among the first to be equipped.
But judging from the current posture, they probably have no chance of actual combat.
"This new weapon is called artillery. It is a long-range attack method independently developed by our military leaders. It can strike the enemy from several kilometers or even dozens of kilometers away. It is an ultimate weapon for attacking cities and demolishing strongholds.
As you have just seen, the power of this new weapon cannot be resisted by flesh and blood, not even the brave Kentana people.
We have had the power to defeat the Kentana people from the beginning to the end. The reason why we are unwilling to do so is that we want peace and want to give the two communities a chance to develop and grow together.
Compared with such an opportunity, I think it doesn’t matter whether I am the reincarnation of my ancestors or not.”
Sean's voice was not high-pitched, it could even be said to be peaceful, but with the power of artillery as the background music, it was particularly convincing.
