Warhammer Seal

Chapter 212 Coming soon (seeking a monthly pass)

Who is the Imperial Artillery? It’s not the kind of cannon fodder that can be found on the street and sent to the battlefield with a spear, two copper coins, and three meals.

Every imperial artilleryman is an outstanding student who graduated from Nunn Artillery Academy or Altdorf Artillery Academy. They have a status far beyond that of ordinary infantry, similar to the status of imperial knights.

Digging the soil is impossible. They are only responsible for firing artillery, and then throw away their weapons and flee for their lives as soon as the enemy rushes over.

So of course there are a million people who are not convinced by Wen De, the airborne leader, so Wen De directly revealed his identity.

"I'm not an airborne field leader, I'm the Elector of Sylvania, the artillery captain of all of you!"

It is said that the former director of the Nunn Firearms Production Plant and now the general manager of the Sylvania Firearms Production Plant, the incense burner is a very close friend of Wende. Forget it, for the sake of senior incense burner and artillery captain, listen to it. This is the so-called order of the elector.

The artillerymen began to shovel the soil. As expected of high-level intellectuals, they quickly began to divide their labor spontaneously and formed a construction team. Even though one or two hadn't done any physical work, they still brought the required soil for Wende.

"Very good, let's start making artillery pits!"

Digging artillery pits can effectively avoid the attack of fragments. It is a very important way to protect artillery. Complete fortifications have artillery pits. Unless the shells directly hit this unlucky pit, only fragments and shock waves cannot damage the pit. artillery.

However, if a hole is dug, the design angle of the artillery will inevitably be reduced. For this reason, Wende's method is to fill the soil first, then pull the artillery up a slope more than one meter high, and then use the soil to build defensive facilities around it.

Pour the water that was just brought in from under the Prager Bridge on the originally soft soil, and the mound of soil became extremely strong in less than an hour. Not to mention spears, even muskets can't break the soil sandbag.

And the most important thing is that the defenses around are very strong, and there are sandbags that allow the artillery to hide.

This design makes the artillery very unhappy. Everyone knows that the Norscans have no artillery. The imperial artillery can shoot without any pressure. If it is broken through the front or cut in from the side, it is the responsibility of the infantry and cavalry. The artillery had done their best.

Well, Wende appreciates this habit of asking for anything, and then pointed to the Norsca mountains in the distance.

"Don't they have mages?"

The Norscans have been affected by chaos for a long time, and they are best at metal, fire, and shadow magic.

The biggest features of these three kinds of magic are their extremely long range, extremely fast speed, high damage, and high cost.

Against the slow-moving artillery, a flaming head can detonate the gunpowder around the artillery, and take away all the human artillery.

This is why Wende built the artillery pit, to resist magic, and his own anti-magic does not mean that gunpowder and artillery can anti-magic.

The Norscan army can already be seen in the distance, and the artillery pit made by Wende even achieved a purpose by hitting it crookedly.

"My God, it's a wild lion-tailed scorpion and a frost demon dragon."

These two flying behemoths can easily cross the river under the Prager Bridge and penetrate deep into the hinterland of the Imperial line, causing immeasurable disaster to the Imperial long-range infantry and artillery.

Fortunately, there is an artillery pit, which can resist a lot of melee damage. All the artillery began to look up to Wen De, the artillery captain, and at the same time, the pride in their eyes was disappearing at the fastest speed.

The eyesight of the artillerymen is very good, and some of them have the bonus of binoculars. They are the first people to see the Norse army in public.

The Norscans and various beasts led by [Wanderer] Ulfric and [Frost Troll] Solong are no longer small scale.

They must have unified all the Norscan tribes. It is no wonder that several northern provinces have not encountered the invasion of the Norscans. It turns out that in this short period of time, they have already conquered all the Norscan forces. And have made all sacrifices to their Chaos Gods.

"Five hundred, one thousand, fifteen hundred, two thousand, their number is still increasing."

The hands of the imperial artillery holding the telescope began to tremble, and the mist from his mouth even began to tremble.

"Captain Wende, they, they have more than 5000 people, and there are all kinds of scary monsters among them."

Even Ruixi, whose desire to kill was rising, gasped. She had never seen so many Norscans in her life. It seemed that Wende had a tough battle to fight, but no matter what, she would definitely cooperate with him Yes, he promised to marry himself after this battle.

This is not easy to handle. Wende thought that there were a lot of Norscans, but he never thought that there could be so many Norscans.

All the men in the village must have been recruited, the entire Norscan elite has arrived here, the family is full of old, weak, sick and disabled, and even women and children have begun to deliver supplies for the Norscan army.

The tactic of defending the bridge is indeed very good, but it also lost the opportunity to divide the troops to attack the Norscan supply line. This is a tough battle.

The Empire has more than 2000 soldiers, including Emperor Karl and Ostermark Provincial Elector Wolfram Hertwig, the Imperial Priest.Of course, there are man-made monsters in the army: steam tanks, and all kinds of rumbling war machines, elite spearmen and halberdiers form the imperial front, and hunters and musketeers provide a stable output. Lurking in the forest Herald cavalry and a demi-griffin cavalry.

Kislev's reinforcements consisted of more than 1000 people, including two Boyer officers, a Frost Maid, and most of the rest were ordinary Cossacks, using individual weapons, and two groups of hussars lurking in the forest.

The snow stopped, and both the enemy and the enemy could see the mist exhaled from everyone's nose above the opponent's position, and even the imperial soldiers blocking the bridge in the front row had already felt the vibration of the ground.

All the Norscan soldiers stopped outside the firing range of the imperial artillery. A man came out confidently and arrogantly, standing alone in the middle of the Imperial Kislev coalition army and the Norscan army, facing the army riding on the death claws. Carl on his back waved his finger.

This is a typical pre-war leader dialogue, allowing the Norscans to complete the steps of swearing before killing the enemy.

At the same time, the Norscans, like Khorne, follow the fighting style very much, and will not sneak attack when the enemy leader comes out.

"If you don't come, you're a coward."

That's right, the person who came over was [Wanderer] Ulfric. Not long ago, he led his men to invade Ulthuan and slaughtered the local elf civilians, but was defeated by the elf troops who came.

Having escaped by chance, he discovered that this failure was related to the imperial magician disguised as a Norsca shaman. The heads of the electors and even the emperor himself.

This man is extremely foul-mouthed, and he likes to insult the leader of the opponent before going to war. Wende knows very well that his tongue, blessed by Tzeentch, can speak all kinds of psychologically tortured words.

So he immediately ran to Emperor Karl, waved his hand and said that he was going to meet such a guy.

"Be careful, it is said that he once cursed three dwarf lords, two dwarf rune lords, and five elf lords."

Karl tried to persuade him, but was interrupted directly by Wende.

"Don't worry, this is how the people of Zaun greet."

　Ulfric is the Chaos Champion of the Thrall tribe in southern Norsca.

　　His battle of fame was when the Thrall tribe fought against the Aislin tribe, killing the opposing chieftain.

　　To celebrate the victory in battle, the Horde held a banquet that night. Ulfric drank with the skull of the dead chieftain. After getting drunk, he began to brag that he was stronger than any mortal warrior, even the warriors of the Chaos Gods. .

　　And this sentence offended the gods of Chaos, and they jointly cursed Ulfric and asked him to go to various enemies such as warriors and monsters to prove that he was having a good time.

　　But the four gods of chaos still blessed this Norscan, Khorne gave him the power to slash and kill wantonly, Nurgle allowed him to use the skulls of his enemies to appease the gods, and Slaanesh gave him a very high personal charisma commander Great Army, Tzeentch gave him a tongue that could flow unimpeded in Zaun.
