In an instant, the duel between the great magicians, which might have taken a long time to decide the winner after one side exhausted all their accumulated magic aura, came to an end.
Frunzberg looked at his two burned and injured palms, with a disappointed bitter smile on his face: "Even with the most advanced petrification magic, there is no guarantee that the mortal body can withstand such an impact...
What a pity, what a pity.”
The bone-deep pain in the palm of his hand that had lost its magic began to cause trouble, and Frunzberg's face turned pale. He leaned next to the still cold cannon and looked at his palm thoughtfully.
What kind of person can come up with such a terrible principle? Magicians have no shortage of long-range attack methods, and they have even used attack distance to crush mortals. However, this ability to change the attack mode has never been discovered before.
Creating something that can explode is actually very simple for magicians. Alchemists can also create some explosives, but those explosives can only be released by throwing and other means, and the attack distance is of course pitiful.
This thing called a cannon is different. It actually does the opposite. It uses the instantaneous expansion of the explosion to push objects to fly at extremely high speeds. Using speed to kill people is something that has never been thought of before.
.
"Teacher..." The apprentice William, who finally got up from the ground, staggered to Frentzberg's side, clutching his chest and gasping. He thought he was dead just now, but now he was waiting.
A sudden turn of events.
The great magician who was so arrogant just now and seemed unstoppable was now lying on the ground like minced meat, without any breath. The great magician of Laisen was dead, and he was killed with one move...
The impact of this picture was too strong, and William still needed to digest it. But before he could digest the shock in his heart, the picture became even more bloody.
The blood began to seep out of the mung bean-sized wounds, and before it cooled down, it gathered together and poured out of the white magician's robe that was riddled with holes. Then, the light blue blood began to flow on the smooth, mirror-like marble floor.
It spreads and makes people sick just looking at it.
You must know that fire magic has always been the most cost-effective magic. It is powerful, quick to prepare, and has the longest attack range. It is the magic that magicians like to use most.
The remaining magic types are more eccentric: thunder magic has the fastest attack speed but takes the longest preparation time and is most difficult to cast; wind magic weakens quickly with the distance away from the body, so it is not suitable for long-distance combat...
As for water magic, it consumes too much magic energy. It is a "borrowing magic" that communicates with nature. It is the most subtle and least cost-effective magic method. Few magicians are willing to specialize in it.
Therefore, few magicians bleed to death when dueling, and magicians rarely see each other's blood: because of the magical aura of practicing, their blood is obviously different from the blood of mortals, exuding a
Faint blue light.
After seeing the blood, William began to feel his stomach churn again: The magician is an elegant being, and they are all civilized people who are not used to seeing blood, so William was very upset when he accidentally saw so much blood spread on the ground.
There is an urge to vomit.
People are like this. Even if magicians may use magic to massacre hundreds of mortals in a war, they will not see the blood, especially the blood from their companions.
"I want to go to... Eiland Hill." Frunzberg reluctantly walked back to his desk, took out a bottle of medicine from the drawer, poured it into the palms of his injured hands, and paused one by one.
He suddenly asked: "Are you willing to go with me?"
"Where can I learn this new magic?" William finally suppressed the urge to retching and asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to take a look and see what interesting things there are there." Frunzberg nodded: "You have a good talent and a good age. If you go there, you might be able to inherit my legacy.
"
"I am willing to go! I am willing to go with you!" William felt that it would not be an unbearable thing to inherit Frunzberg's mantle, even if he lived in a mortal territory for a year.
Frunzberg continued to nod, then he opened his legs with some difficulty and walked towards the door: "Come with me! There is nothing to miss here! The future of the Holy Demon Empire is not here, our future is
Not here either.”
"Corruption, decadence, incompetence, weakness..." Frunzberg muttered some ugly words as he walked down the stairs. William knew that his teacher was describing this ancient empire, so he could only lower his head.
Say nothing.
…
"This kind of towed high-level dual-purpose artillery carriage should be deployed on both wings of the infantry square. They must ensure that the entire infantry square is not threatened by the dragon. This is the primary task." In a drawing, Wageron sketched
A brand new battle formation emerged.
Although Chris has a civilization's technology tree, he has countless generals' understanding and writings on war, and he has countless valuable information summaries: but he is unable to change and develop this knowledge.
To put it bluntly, he is a "cheater" who transfers plagiarism and cannot combine it to make something out of nothing. For example, in his knowledge base, there is definitely no paper or detailed explanation of tactical arrangements such as "How Ground Forces Defend Fire Dragons"
.
"In each infantry square, that is, in addition to the 300 gunners of a battalion, four anti-aircraft guns are deployed? How to count the extra soldiers? Are they counted in the battalion, or are they placed in the regiment-affiliated troops?" Will
Chris raised his own question.
After hearing this, Chris had to compromise and said: "Given the special nature of the air defense force, I think it should be deployed within a battalion-level unit so that this force can operate and defend independently."
"Each battalion will be expanded. The original number will definitely not be enough. Each battalion will be expanded to 500 people...the artillery of the regiment will be strengthened."
"A battalion of 500 people, 300 grenadiers, and 40 machine gun shooters are preset, preparing to equip new machine guns as the mainstay of infantry automatic firepower; including more than 60 anti-aircraft gunners and apprentices, the total number is more than 400, and the rest
Everyone can be used as supplementary troops to take charge of the baggage." Wageron, who was well aware of the current battalion-level establishment, calculated.
"The regiment's artillery also needs to be expanded. 400 people are equipped with 20 artillery pieces, and almost 4 anti-aircraft guns are needed to cover it. This will require an expansion of about 60 people. In addition to the original regiment personnel and logistics personnel, a regiment will have almost 2,000 people.
At the level of a human being." Similarly, Bourjos, who was already familiar with it, also said.
"Actually, I think in this case, it would be more appropriate to set up a regiment as a five-battalion system and directly expand it to 2,500 people." Chris actually thinks that the large-scale troops of the later US military have better independent combat capabilities.
, the combat effectiveness is also higher.
After all, he is determined to adopt the tactics of crushing ammunition and weapons in the future. Facing opponents such as magicians and dragon knights, he does not dare to take risks with any tactics. Therefore, he certainly feels that the US military's tactical system is the most worthy of his study.
The tactical organization of 5 battalions can preset the organization of supply battalions for these infantry regiments, and can also be equipped with armored vehicles or even tanks later. In short, with more people, the combat effectiveness of the regiment will be more guaranteed.
"In this case, each battalion will have more than 500 soldiers, and our frontal line will be wider... Can four anti-aircraft guns stabilize the defense line of the entire battalion?" Wageron raised his own doubts.
road.
Chris nodded. He also felt that if the battle line was widened, the defense area of a battalion would be larger. The four anti-aircraft guns would have to deal with air targets and possibly ground targets at the same time, which would be very stressful.
"Then add 4 more anti-aircraft guns! I would rather expand a few battalions less, but we must ensure the actual combat capability of the troops! Just like the armies of the mortal empire in the past, no matter how many people there are, they are actually useless in front of the magic empire.
Useless." Chris gave his general approach.
He also knew that after saying these words, the originally vigorous military expansion movement might suddenly slow down seriously.
Originally, Mordeler formed the 4th Regiment in Hanhai, and Coria had been ordered to form the 5th Regiment in Mayne. The 3rd Regiment, which was originally scattered across the country, has now been assembled and transferred to Wilkes.
Expanded. At the same time, the 6th Regiment was ordered to be established in North County, commanded by Bourgeois.
Even Lawns, who held the title of Navy Commander, was ordered to form a 1st Marine Regiment and stationed in Fukou City.
Then, based on these unit-number regiments, Chris established a higher-level division-level headquarters, with unit-number regiment commanders acting as division commanders, and at the same time began to expand double-digit infantry regiments.
The equipment of these double-digit infantry regiments are all eliminated from the 1st regiment, and their combat effectiveness is not high. They are only formed as supplementary and reserve teams: most of them are still in cold weapon status, numbered from 11th to 16th regiment, plus the navy
The 12th Marine Regiment.
It was also from this moment on that the formation of the troops in Elland Hill was fixed: all future expansions would be named according to this method.
Also expanded at the same time is the "Military and Political Department", a political department of Chris that controls the army. This department can ensure that the army is always firmly under Chris's control and ensures the absolute ideological unity of the troops in Ireland.
Despite the crazy expansion of the army, Eiland Hill has not completed the grand expansion plan of 25 regiments: they now only have 14 regiments, and 8 of them are substandard "second-line garrison regiments."
