Chapter 212 Seizing Air Command

Time goes back to November 11th, the day when the Piast army crossed the Elbe River.

After the pontoon bridge was built, Casimir sent a team of envoys to the castle of Baron Wesson to meet Duke Wesson while commanding the army to cross the river.

The first Piast troops to cross the river quickly established a bridgehead of several hundred meters, and then the large forces began to cross the river.

Casimir came to a wooden fort by the river, observed carefully, and confirmed that the people inside had slipped away when he just reached the other side of the river, and there was still a box with tableware in the corner.

The terrain here is not low, and the view from the sentry tower is good, and you can see the surroundings.

The entire west bank of the Elbe River was quiet, and there was an unexpected counterattack. Several giant eagles were circling in the sky, looking for the position of the enemy army.

A giant eagle swooped down suddenly, and from the trajectory, it found food such as cattle and sheep.

Casimir didn't care, the giant eagle had a big appetite, and it was common to find food for itself along the way.

Especially the brains of these giant eagles are not very good. Some of them will act without the command of the knight on their backs when they are hungry and see food. They have to be fed before each action.

After observing the terrain for a while, Casimir suddenly found several giant eagles in the air hovering a hundred meters above the place where the giant eagle swooped just now, as if they were searching for the enemy.

His brows were slightly frowned, could it be that he fell into the trap just now?

Bare forests are not good for giant eagles. Tall trees make it difficult for them to find and attack targets on the ground. They need to lower their heights. Those who are familiar with their characteristics will lay traps in the open forest.

He brought the seven giant eagles and knights of the Royal Air Knights this time. The bottom line in his heart is to lose two. If this is not the case, it will be difficult to lose one.

Just after thinking about it, three giant eagles suddenly fell without warning, and the other three were trying to increase the distance.

Casimir's eyes were straightened, not understanding what happened.

At the scene of the incident, the soldiers of the Wessen Army were cheering.

This is an open pasture in the woods. Last night, a cow was tied in the middle of the grass, and two bullets "facing the enemy" were tied to the back of the cow.

Now that the people and livestock in the entire Weisen Territory have been evacuated, only such a cow can be seen in such a large area, so the first giant eagle rushed down, and then turned into a screen.

When the other Giant Eagle Knights found something was wrong and came to look for possible enemies, the Wesson Army soldiers hidden in various parts of the ranch appeared at the same time after receiving the signal and fired a magazine into the already designated airspace.

Compared with the targets dragged and flying at dawn during training, the giant eagle with a wingspan of more than 10 meters and low flying speed is much easier to deal with.

The giant eagles that escaped by chance are flapping their wings vigorously trying to fly higher, but the disadvantage of slow climbing speed makes them no match for the excited Dawn.

Frederick started to think about air combat after dawn. As an air combat game fan in his previous life, he thought he knew how to make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.

Compared with the winged unicorn, the advantage of the giant eagle is that it has a high flying height and a high dive speed. The disadvantage is that the flying speed, especially the climbing speed, is slow, and its maneuverability has its own advantages.

So Frederick took a pea gun with an extended magazine, and flew to the enemy's rear with Dawn to attack.

The knight on the back of the giant eagle found Frederick, and found that he had a three-on-one advantage.

Under the command of the knight, a giant eagle turned around and waved its wings, fanning out a blade of wind, trying to force Frederick back and open a distance, while buying time for his companions.

However, not only did Frederick not retreat, he took this opportunity to fire a few shots until the blue wind blade was blocked by the golden magic shield released by Dawn a few meters ahead.

This time, Frederick took advantage of the confrontation between magic and physics. The giant eagle let out a scream, fell dozens of meters, and finally staggered and made an emergency landing on the edge of the pasture.

Seeing that something was wrong, the other two knights on the back of the giant eagle turned around and ran away. Frederick caught up with one, but this time he didn't shoot, and dawn kicked the giant eagle's wings.

Hearing the sound of bones breaking, Frederick turned his head and smiled at the panicked knight, pointing to the ground.

The knight immediately manipulated the wounded giant eagle to descend, and finally landed on the pasture.

The last giant eagle flew towards the ferry. Kasimir watched the battle in the sky on the sentry tower, and was so angry that he grabbed the railing of the watchtower and smashed it to pieces.

Frederick did not let go of the last air power of the Piast army, and caught up to solve it.

Casimir narrowed his eyes and stared at the pale golden shadow in the air, and ordered the army to speed up the river crossing, while paying attention to air defense.

Frederick said to Helmut through the communicator: "The air threat has been removed, and the next step can be taken."

"Remember, shoot for another place, shoot and run."

He didn't care about the next battle. Without the enemy's air force, they could open their vision in the sky, and there was not much they could do about the Wesson Army in the forest.

Frederick looked at the enemy's formation in the air for a while, and at dawn, he got a lot of fist-sized stones in the distance, flew to the highest altitude, and threw them down at the crowd.

It is no problem for a stone falling from such a high place to kill people, but this time it killed several people and two horses.

This casualty is nothing to the 10 army. The key is to make everyone fearful. They all looked up at the sky. When Frederick returned to the sky above the Piast army for the second time, many people's neck It's all a little sour.

Frederick no longer threw stones casually this time, but specifically aimed at those hussars.

It's just that the elite equipment of these Piast kingdoms is better than ordinary soldiers, and they can protect the upper part with excellent shields without fear of injury.

Then Frederick changed to a bigger stone, but such a big stone can be seen more clearly, and the free fall time of about half a minute is enough for many people to avoid it.

At noon, Frederick never returned, probably because his mount was hungry, and the whole Piast army breathed a sigh of relief.

The army that hadn't crossed the river breathed a sigh of relief, but the nightmare for the army on the other side of the river had just begun.

The pea gun still has a certain lethality to the target at a distance of 400 to 500 meters. At this distance, the gunshots can no longer be heard. Therefore, when the soldiers defending the enemy on the periphery of the ferry suddenly fell down, no one knew where the attack came from. .

Frederick let all the troops disperse in small groups, and began to harass the enemy with the help of the cover of the woods near the ferry.

This raid does not ask for the number of casualties, as long as it can create mental pressure on the enemy.

The magician company who was transferred to be a professional sniper was also dispatched, specially picking up the guys in armor.

Casimir was shot in the shoulder, but only ricocheted, causing little damage.

He quickly got down from the watchtower and shouted angrily: "Go and find them all! Cut them into sticks and hang them on the trees!"

Then he calmed down, and then ordered: "Cross the river and collect enough 1 people to leave immediately, don't wait for those behind, let those behind quickly cross the bridge!"

The Wessen army in the woods saw the enemy pressing up, and after fighting for a while, they began to retreat.

The Piast army at the three crossings started to set off. About 1 people lined up in a five-man column that was also one kilometer long, and the convoy was nearly two kilometers long.

After hearing the report from the front, Helmut ordered them to be let go, leaving strength to destroy the enemy cavalry.
