Chapter 564 (1/2)
”Lord, it's just the right time for me to launch a full-scale attack. This time, those vanguard outposts have made great contributions, bringing most of the skeleton Knights together, saving the trouble of finding them.” Marshal Erikson sent out an invitation.
”Let's go and have a look.” Shawn didn't tell Marshal Eriksson that the strikers had been ordered to do so.
The battlefield Marshal Erikson chose was a valley.
In fact, on both sides of the valley are small earth bags less than 100 meters higher than the flat land. There is a small stream less than 10 meters wide at the bottom of the valley. There are many kinds of bubble ponds, which are not deep enough.
Sean is now a veteran of the battlefield, and can see the geographical advantages here at a glance.
The bulls and fortresses sent out by the third group army are mainly infantry. If they want to encircle the skeleton knights, their momentum and mobility must be limited to the greatest extent.
The more complex terrain at the bottom of the valley is the best choice.
The small slopes on both sides are the best choice for placing long-range attacks. The mortars of the two regiments have all been concentrated to form a small artillery position with 15 mortars.
Of the 15 mortars, only three are medium-sized and the rest are light portable mortars.
During this period, the firearm bureau is making full efforts to produce infantry guns and mortars. Two independent artillery regiments have been equipped with high-quality products. Some poor or redundant products have been sent to other regiments. Among them, the third group army has the highest priority because of the particularity of the enemy they are facing.
Previously, Shawn told Marshal Erikson not to use guns easily, for fear of startling the main emissaries behind the Klein tribe, and could not achieve the unexpected effect.
Now that there is no concern in this regard, marshal Eriksson can naturally take out all the means he can use.
”The battle of annihilation begins!”
At Marshal Eriksson's command, the outposts poured out in droves, and in half an hour they came back again. Behind them, the sound of horses' hooves was loud, and a group of skeleton riders, biting them, rushed into the canyon.
Obviously, these skeleton knights had already been lured to the vicinity by them with their sentry cavalry, and now they can try to seduce them.
The God of death wanted to slip away. Naturally, it could not be carried out under the skin of many sentinel eyes of the army leaders at night, so he sent a skeleton knight to drive them away, exterminate and pursue them.
It's a reckless order.
After all, he was ready to abandon the nest. Both the dead soul army and the Skeleton Knight belonged to abandoned children. As long as he completed this task, he would not care about the coordination of steps and horses, giving the Yongye army a chance to make targeted layout.
These skeleton knights rushed into the valley and found that the enemy they were facing was not just sentinel cavalry. They were still fearless and did not mean to flinch.
Then again, they don't know what fear is.
Even the number of people do not have to gather complete, they launched a fierce charge.
They were met by a burst of shelling, not even special shells. They were the most common gunpowder shells. When they fell into the skeleton cavalry camp, people suddenly turned upside down, the flames spurted, the black smoke soared, and the stumps flew in disorder.
This is what the artillery really should have.
If they were replaced by ordinary troops, they would be able to collapse and flee in all directions for the first time.
The previous fierce battle with the Dragon skeletons controlled by the God of death almost made Sean doubt the power of his artillery position.
More than 200 guns, plus various kinds of special shells, just didn't take the other side completely. I feel a little chilly.
If it was not for the other party's desire to escape, with the army of the dead, what kind of impact would it have on the Yongye army leader?
I can't imagine it.
These skeleton Knights have just been baptized by artillery positions, and then plunge into the minefield.
Finally, they struggled to the infantry, waiting for them is countless black powder grenades to wash the ground.
Even if they are such monsters as skeleton knights, after three rounds, they can't save three. Before they raise their bone knives, what they are waiting for is another baptism of combat skills. Facing the shield wall and gun forest, they can't rush in at all. There are also some big knights who are transformed into super Saiya people. They only have to be pressed to play, and then they fall down in a flash.
In less than half an hour, the 3000 skeleton knights, who seemed to be mighty, were killed in the defensive formation of bulls and fortress legions.
The combat technology itself has pushed the cold weapon operation led by Yongye army to an unprecedented peak. It is also mixed with artillery, a cross era weapon, and the flexible use of various black powder weapons.
The existence of Skeleton Knight in cold weapon combat is not enough, especially when the head is short of tendon.
This is where Marshal Shawn and marshal Erikson dare to take the initiative when they know that the number of undead troops is several times larger than their own.This wave of easy annihilation war has further boosted their confidence and raised their confidence to an unprecedented height.
We should know that a few years ago, not to mention the elite of the skeletons, even ordinary undead soldiers, they had to pay a heavy price to eat them. In the end, they had to rely on a variety of long-range attack equipment to strangle them through long-range, and they did not dare to fight close combat.
Now they are easily beating their most powerful cavalry, let alone ordinary undead soldiers.
What does that mean?
They have become strong enough to crush the enemy they once feared.
Like the name Marshal Eriksson just used, it was a battle of annihilation.
Since all the skeleton knights who have been lured over, one can count as one. None of them can escape. Either they are killed or they are bound into zongzi and captured.
For such unconventional enemies, once they are victorious, they will be victorious in the form of total annihilation. After their establishment is broken up, they will lose their wisdom and become a killing machine that obeys the killing instinct and does not know how to escape at all.
Sean, who had a deeper understanding of the energy of death technique, basically deduced the root cause of their collective wisdom.
Their soul consciousness has been taken away, which is the standard walking corpse. When the energies of many death skills are connected together, they will become a group spirit consciousness. It is normal for them to have collective wisdom.
The collective learning ability that they showed earlier is also related to this.
This situation is somewhat similar to combat skill learning, in which the energy of death spell is engraved in their bodies to achieve the purpose of memory.
It's not a difficult thing to do according to the God of death's control over the power of the spell.
Sean's heart is filled with more happiness, the God of death, only focus on the number of undead soldiers, not pay attention to their quality, in the brain cavity is not as good.
If it's his own, Sean already has a case study of how to improve these undead soldiers.
War skills!
