Blood Dragon

Chapter 330 Miscalculation

However, the confusion is only temporary.Soldiers who have real experience in fighting on the battlefield know that on the battlefield, the lives of soldiers are very cheap.The Chaos Legion couldn't figure out how to deal with this weird war machine for a while, so they adopted a very simple strategy: while most of the Chaos Warriors regrouped, a small group of Chaos Eggs were driven to attack the tanks, Come and test the strength of this chariot.

Lord Bloodfang wasn't worried about the cannon on the tank.Because although the Chaos Legion does not use this kind of weapon, they are no strangers to this kind of war machine.The cannon has a long range and great power. One shell (if it hits) is enough to settle a Chaos Egg, but the speed of reloading and firing the cannon is really slow.The tank was too close to them just now, after this salvo, there was no time to fire the second round in a short time before the Chaos Eggs rushed to them.

At this moment, the entire battlefield has entered a state of engagement.In fact, Marvin's guess was quite accurate before, and the whole battle situation was almost as he expected.In the center where the two armies are most powerful, both sides are extremely conservative.Rather than saying that they plan to have a duel, it is better to say that they plan to have a trial, to test the opponent's combat power, and at the same time patiently wait for the cooperation of their own allies.The battle between the central parts of the two armies was secretive and very unpleasant.Several phalanxes of marauder infantry fought against the greatsword warriors in front, while more warriors waited for their opportunity.This battle is also a mutual victory and defeat, a stalemate.One side is more numerous, and one side is more elite—and more importantly, neither side dares to chase down the fleeing opponent.Because the opponent's large army is still waiting for a fighter, if one accidentally chases too far, it will become a lone army and go deep, and it deserves to be surrounded and wiped out by the enemy.

As for the right wing of the Chaos Legion, the situation is also very consistent.Grune's Knight Legion launched a fierce attack, and the heavily armored knights tore through the opponent's defense line in one fell swoop, causing heavy casualties to the Chaos Legion.But as Marvin predicted before, this level of attack may be fatal to those troops who lack training, poor discipline, and low morale, but for the Chaos Legion, it can still hold: it hurts, but it can't die .Not only that, some of the fiercer troops also took advantage of the opportunity of the impacting knights to pause and launched a counterattack, attacking the knights or horses on horseback with battle axes and hammers, causing certain casualties.

Although as time goes on, the Chaos Legion will eventually collapse due to the accumulation of casualties, but how long can they delay before collapsing?It's really hard to say.After all, it was Ashuruffat's fault, because Marvin really planned to find a way to take this army out of the battlefield after the battle.If that was the case, Ashuruffat would have saved the troops on this wing to support his allies.

The crux of the battle has become those tanks.These steel-wrapped heavy tanks really performed well. When the Chaos Egg roared and rushed over, the tanks did not show any weakness and began to charge face to face.The two sides collided immediately—of course, the outcome of this collision is easy to guess: Although the Chaos Egg has a superhuman size and strength, it is still a flesh and blood body, and it will not be beneficial to collide with a steel-wrapped tank.

Whether it is weight, size or hardness, the tank completely outperforms the opponent, not to mention that the steel shell of the tank is deliberately added with sharp edges, and the front is equipped with sharp angles for impact.

Several Chaos Eggs were directly knocked down or pierced by the tank.Their bodies are covered with thick muscles, which are enough to exhaust the kinetic energy of the bullets, but they can't stop the frontal piercing of such a steel chariot.Their bodies were directly pierced by sharp horns, screaming helplessly in their dying struggle.

These monsters are powerful enough to be fierce among ordinary infantry, but they cannot resist these steel-clad and iron-clad war machines.

However, some Chaos Eggs avoided the frontal impact of the tank at the last moment of impact by relying on the intuition of beasts.The battle between monsters and machines seems to have become a protracted battle.Although it seems that tanks can't do anything to these close-fitting monsters, from another perspective, Chaos Eggs can't do anything to tanks either.Although their tentacles have the terrifying power to knock a human into the air dozens of steps, they are not suitable for dealing with the thick armor of a tank.The whipping of the tentacles only made the steel shell make some metallic noises, and the huge weight of the tanks made it impossible for them to be overturned at all.

As mentioned earlier, although the Chaos Egg was once a human being, it now only possesses the intelligence of a beast.Although these monsters couldn't help the tanks, they refused to retreat.Most of them are attacking in vain, but ignore the passage of time, and the artillery on the top of the tank will be reloaded.

Marvin clearly saw a puff of white gunpowder smoke around the tank accompanied by the sound of a cannon.And the Chaos Egg, who didn't know how to avoid the muzzle, was directly hit by the artillery at close range.On the huge onion-like body of the Chaos Egg, a ball of blood exploded directly, as gorgeous as festival fireworks.

"Hmm... impact and cannon?" Marvin frowned slightly.Hey, these toys look good, but they are only toys after all.He already knew what to do with these tanks—put soldiers on them, try to climb onto the tanks, open the entrances for the tank crews to enter and exit—although he couldn't see clearly from a distance, Marvin knew that the tanks looked There must be an entrance for the occupants to enter and exit on the tight steel shell.This is a most suitable attack target.

Of course, if prepared in advance, a shallow trench or a low stone wall can prevent the tank from advancing.As for using magic...that's easier.At least Marvin has the confidence to turn these steel chariots directly into a pile of scrap iron.

I'm afraid these tanks can't hold back more time... Hey, why should I worry about that bastard Ash Rufat?He thought to himself, and put a "bastard" hat on Ash Rufat.For Tzeentch's wizards, anyone who refuses to listen to his arrangements obediently, be his pawn, and then be abandoned by him in the end is a jerk.In this regard, Lord Bloodfang and Ashuruffat are equal.

But it looks like Lord Bloodfang isn't a fool after all.Although the Chaos Lord of Khorne has never been famous for his IQ, he is battle-hardened and experienced anyway, and it doesn't take a particularly bright mind to see the weaknesses of tanks.While Marvin was muttering in his stomach, Lord Bloodfang had already dispatched multiple teams to rush towards the tank in scattered formations.

All the tanks that could still fire fired at the charging enemy.But for the chaotic troops, which were arranged as skirmishers and sparsely formed, the artillery shells caused only small casualties.

What really poses a threat are all kinds of remotes from the center.As mentioned earlier, Ashurfat placed almost all of his long-range troops in the center.At this time, they had completed the task of "three shots before the battle", and the melee troops in the center had already started fighting.Due to the limited shooting angle and the fear of accidentally injuring friendly troops, these long-range troops could no longer support the frontal battlefield at this time, so they simply aimed all their firepower at the Bloodfang Lord's wing.

They didn't have a wide front to fire a salvo, so the fire was reduced to the small continuous type.Guns mixed with crossbow bolts kept falling on the heads of the Chaos Legion.Constantly, Chaos warriors were hit and fell.This is why a simple whole team took a lot of time.

But it's all worth it.As long as Lord Bloodfang can break through the frontal enemy in time, he doesn't care about this level of casualties.

The rushing Chaos Warriors easily entangled the tank.It's a real dogfight, basically a entanglement, so to speak.Although the tank is heavy and strong, it is not flexible in movement. Chaos warriors can easily avoid the muzzle of the cannon and attack from the side.Their axes and warhammers are much easier to use than the tentacles of the Chaos Spawn. Although they can't talk about destroying the tank, they can at least leave countless potholes on the surface of the tank.Although some Chaos warriors were knocked down by tanks, or were killed by the sharp edges of tanks, overall, it was really difficult to deal with these agile skirmishers with the strength of tanks alone (at least it would take a very long time).It looks like Lord Bloodfang has figured out how to deal with these new vehicles.

In addition, perhaps it was an accident in the melee, all the tanks began to gather to the side of the battlefield, avoiding the front of the Chaos Legion.

At this time, the Chaos Legion had risked a long-range attack from the flanks and reorganized its formation.The Bloodfang Lord no longer cared about these obstructing steel chariots, and instead aimed at the part of the phalanx of spear soldiers that had not been defeated.However, although it is a "spear soldier phalanx", the real troops composed of spear infantry, because they are in the front line, have almost been defeated in the battle just now.At this moment, Lord Bloodfang was mostly facing infantry with swords and shields.Compared with spearmen, these sword and shield soldiers are weaker against the charge of Chaos warrior group.Coupled with the fact that the friendly forces were so easily defeated and massacred just now, their morale must be low.Lord Bloodfang had reason to believe that only one round of assault was needed before the opponent's second line of defense would collapse.If it goes well, he even has a great chance to take advantage of the opportunity of chasing and killing the defeated soldiers, and just take advantage of the momentum to directly smash through the enemy's third line of defense.

In fact, Ashrufat's formation is also a bit particular. Marvin is not a novice on the battlefield, so he can understand Ashurfat's intentions: Spearmen have a strong ability to resist charges, so they are ranked first. the top column.Troops such as swordsmen and halberd soldiers are more suitable for melee combat, so they are placed on the second and third lines.Ideally, the spear infantry in the first column relies on the length advantage of their weapons to effectively curb the enemy's charge momentum, and then if the second and third line troops can fill in in time, the battle will be changed from a shock battle to a melee battle.Coupled with the disruption of the tanks, even if the Chaos Legion has an advantage, it will greatly delay the battle time.

In addition, judging from the performance of the tanks just now, if these steel machines can get the support and cooperation of infantry, they will undoubtedly be able to exert greater combat power-but it is obvious that the power of this new weapon, Ashuruffat also I don't quite understand.Because if Ashurfat knew, then now the tank would not come forward alone and be entangled by the infantry.

In any case, nothing can stop the advance of the Chaos Legion now.However, Lord Bloodfang didn't launch an attack immediately - he didn't know what he was waiting for.

Then he immediately understood what Lord Bloodfang was waiting for.Because at this time, the subordinate who reminded him just now spoke out again.

"Master, the chaos of the wind of magic...has completely subsided," he said.Because he noticed that Marvin's attention was all on the battlefield, and he didn't care about the flow of the wind of magic at all-even though this was the job of a magician on the battlefield.

What this sentence means is that now, even those apprentice wizards who don't even have magic disks can cast magic relatively safely.
