People in the Ark, Dimensional Blacksmith

The situation in the prison is slightly better. Although the speed is not very fast, at least the strength of the prison defense is constantly being weakened. As long as there is enough time, the personnel inside will definitely be able to come out, but at that time, It's hard to say how many of these vital forces are still there.

At present, the most critical thing in the seventh urban area is the battle for the bridge adjacent to the city defense army station.

One thing I have to admit is that although Governor Simond does not do many good things, he is quite good at how to stabilize his rule.

The elite police forces in the wealthy district stopped all those who dared to set fire to these urban areas. Although they did not participate in more anti-riot activities, they also deterred a considerable number of people.

And even if the city defense army was transferred from the large troops and was still engaged in a surprise attack by the French troops, it quickly regrouped, clung to the last bridge, and completed the formation of the formation while fighting. Reorganized and restored a large amount of combat power.

Of course, this is also in the calculations of the French, because Burgundy is also a fringe city of Gaul, and it often comes into contact with Letania on the route.

In these turbulent times, such

A city must have an extremely powerful armed force. Even if there is no regular army corps stationed in it, their own city defense army must be quite capable of fighting - at least it must be able to support reinforcements from other cities.

Therefore, the French also had certain expectations about the stagnation of their own battle situation. After discovering that the offensive and defensive situation of the bridge began to reverse, they began to change their tactics and decided to stick to the bridgehead.

This is their second plan: hold off the opponent's main force, and hold it off as long as possible, until reinforcements come to support them.

It's just that in the original plan, all the troops have been planned, and logically speaking, there is no so-called reserve force that can be used as a support team.

So the support team in this plan, in addition to the other teams that are maintaining order, is the high-end combat power of Jeanna.

This is equivalent to pinning all hopes on the people with the highest combat power in France. Only when they can solve the opponent's high-end combat power can they return to support these places.

However, it is also obvious that this second option is really an option with no choice.

And when the city defense army pulled their field artillery to the bridge, the French defense line could only retreat again and again. They did not have enough cover to block the bombardment of the artillery, and the guards among them did not fight back against the artillery fire. The strength to move forward.

Although they also tried to let the warlocks and sniper operators destroy the few field guns, after the skills of these warlocks jumped 400 meters, their power could already be intercepted by the guards around the field guns.

As for the crossbow bolts, at this distance, they don't even have the ability to penetrate the protective baffle of the field gun.

Generally, in the face of such a situation, if you want to break the game, you only need a medium-sized ballista and above to be able to pose a threat to the field artillery, but the problem is that these things are not so easy for the French team to obtain.

Under repeated bombardment, the French line retreated one after another. If it wasn't for their high will to fight, they might not be able to stabilize this line of defense.

But spiritual encouragement cannot affect the actual battle situation, and the disadvantage is gradually widening due to the gap in firepower, but everyone knows that the next final decision will not be those few field guns.

In this kind of positional warfare, warlocks with powerful skills are the key link that can completely determine the situation of the battle.

This is also the reason for the form of the artillery on the land of Terra. In essence, it is just an enlarged version of the Lateran guns, although for Silber, a traverser, he still cannot understand why the guns It is also a staff, but from an actual combat point of view, these cannons are indeed fundamentally different from the shell strikes that Silber knew.

After the skill of the caster has been amplified by the entire 'staff', the ammunition with the applied force is fired at a speed far exceeding that of the ballista.

But if the caster's own Originium skills don't have any special effects, the strike form of these ammunition is just pure kinetic strike.

In other words, the abilities of these gunners are between warlocks and spellcasters, and they belong to combat units that need to be trained but rely heavily on the quality of the artillery itself.

Those talented and experienced gunners can add their own origin stone skills to the shell itself during the casting process, so that it can produce a variety of additional effects when it hits the ground, such as explosion, smoke, freezing wait...

Of course, just like the etched bullets that are constantly entering the public's field of vision, the artillery units gradually formed in various countries do have some special ammunition with greater lethality. They use different warheads to complete the strike. But this also leads to another problem.

At present, the most lethal thing can be achieved by explosion, but if you want to achieve the explosion effect without relying on the gunner's own Originium skills, you can only use high-energy stones to fill the warhead.

But the problem is that the high-energy stone is extremely unstable, and it is difficult to reduce its shape and size in order to ensure its power, and the cost is not so close to the people.

Let’s take a joke—use a shell with an explosive warhead to destroy a target. If the benefits gained are quantified in money, it may be worth 100 million.

But the cost of such a shell is about 300 million to 400 million.

All in all, such shells cannot be used on this kind of pull-and-go field artillery, and can only be seen on the main artillery of city defense or land-ships.

Moreover, using this kind of shells to bombard the current French troops, not to mention that the main artillery of the city defense cannot easily bombard the interior of the city, just the cost alone can make the governor cry.

Therefore, the artillerymen of the current city defense army neither have the kind of expensive ammunition and cannons that can be fired, nor have the ability to attach their own Originium skills to the shells and shoot them out. They can only rely on their own kinetic energy to destroy the French troops little by little. line of defense.

Although the effect is good, if you want to defeat it with one blow, you need to let the warlock team go up.

As long as the warlock troops are close to their spell-casting range, the French troops who have been hit by shells will be completely defeated.

For ordinary troops, a well-protected warlock unit is a powerful weapon capable of destroying all enemy troops.

The only thing that can stop them is either there are elites who can dig into the formation and directly kill these warlocks who are not weak in melee combat, or rely on a hard fortress to resist

The bombardment of the source stone technique.

But neither of these two has ever existed in France now.

When the commander of the French squadron saw the warlocks stepping across the middle of the bridge under the cover of shield-bearing soldiers, he knew that the last moment was coming.

The reinforcements still haven't arrived, and the sound of the goal has never been heard.

According to the normal command, he should abandon this position and lead his team to retreat.

But now, they have no place to retreat anymore. Abandoning this last pass is equivalent to putting all the opponent's troops into the seventh city.

This means that the brother troops behind them will face the charge of the city defense army in formation, and they will be completely dragged down in the seventh city.

Therefore, they cannot retreat, not even a single step.

"Gentlemen, it is an honor for me to stand with you under this cover."

He tore off the style button that he had been fastening before, and the polite and courteous aristocrat's attire turned into a wolfish but ferocious beast: "I am proud of you, because we have managed to counteract with the strength of a small team. Live the attack of a city city defense army!

"France's back never bends, nor does it fall.

"Gentlemen, we must buy more time for the rear, we must stick to this place, and prevent any city defense army from stepping through this line of defense!

"We will go, we will always go!

"Behind Gein is the glory of France!"

The commander drew out his saber, turned over and jumped out of the bunker, roaring: "The second unit does not move! The first unit! Charge with me!"

In this last time, they chose to use their flesh to build the last trench of this line of defense.

The soldiers of the first unit stood up without a word. They either picked up their sabers, or installed their bayonets on their staffs, turned out of the cover in silence, followed the commander's footsteps, and charged forward together.

They wanted to interrupt those warlocks' spellcasting, even if it was just to suspend the opponent's attack rhythm, but even if it was only for 1 minute, it was worth it.

Shells fell from the sky, crossbow arrows and spells passed by, the commander could hear the fallen figures of his comrades beside him, he could feel the continuous loss of his physical strength, and he could also feel the pain caused by the torn wounds. cold.

But he didn't stop, he just moved forward, and only forward.

He came from a noble family and followed the beliefs of Jeanne Bonaparte. Before that, he was an out-and-out playboy, a young soldier who was dawdling on the front line of the southern border.

But at this moment, he understood a tradition that his fathers had taught him, a tradition that he had sneered at.

——For the sake of glory and ideals, nobles should charge forward without fear of life and death.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

He roared angrily, crushed a piece of origin stone fragments in his hand, let those origin stones penetrate deeply into his flesh, then drained every ounce of energy in his body, and displayed his origin stone skills.

The electric light flickered at the fingertips, and finally formed a spear, which he threw fiercely.

The distance of more than one hundred meters was easily crossed, but even with his best blow, he could only penetrate the shield and body of a heavily armored soldier, and had no effect on the array of warlocks behind them.

The commander continued to run forward. At this moment, he could already see the sneer on the corners of the warlocks' mouths, and he could also see the fireball flashing again at the end of the bridge.

Wait... Fireball?

His ears seemed to be half a beat behind before he heard the roar of the explosion. At the same time, he felt a strong hot air passing by his ears, making him stagger and almost lose his balance.

Afterwards, he saw an extremely funny expression on the faces of the warlocks and heavily armored soldiers in front of him.

The ferociousness on his face hadn't subsided yet, and a frightened and puzzled expression emerged.

But no matter what, the commander knew that now was not the time to stand still, he fell forward and slid into a crater, and then he had the strength to turn his head and look in the direction he came from.

Then, he saw a huge monster moving forward under the thick dust stirred up by the field artillery and spells.

It is like a giant in ancient legends, every step is like a dull drumbeat, its body is covered with thick armor made of alloy, it is noisy but chilling, crushing all disrespectful people who dare to stand in front of it.

On top of this behemoth, there are two ferocious main cannons still emitting wisps of green smoke, like the manifestation of the war horn, like the key to open the door of death.

"The friendly water tank tank has entered the field, please clear the road with friendly troops."

Silber sat in the chariot and said in a deep voice.

--------------

Chapter 48 debut

The chariot that appeared in front of the commander was about [-] meters high and [-] meters wide. It moved forward like a steel city wall.

The main body of the chariot is divided into upper and lower structures. The turret with two main guns installed above presents an angular and flat truncated face shape. On both sides of the turret are small grenade projectiles filled with three charges. Looking up from the commander's point of view, it can be barely seen that there is a steerable port that has not been installed on the top of the turret.

in the chariot

Below is a wide car body made of high-strength alloy. Four sets of crawler-type walkers support this heavy central structure, and a square metal box is hung on the whole car body as a The external armor belt, at the same time, when the tank passed by the commander, he also saw a large number of closed interfaces left in the second half of the tank, as if there were various equipment of different sizes hidden.

The commander's first impression of this ferocious steel monster was that it was indestructible. When he saw the outer armor of this tank, he subconsciously made a comparison.

If it was a full-strength attack in his heyday, he could pierce the individual shields held by heavy armored soldiers, but just looking at the upper armor of this chariot, he knew that he would never be able to pierce through it. opponent's defense.

The most important point is that the sense of oppression brought by this behemoth on the battlefield is much stronger than that of the infantry guards marching forward in formation.

The commander would rather charge against the array of guards than engage in a head-on firefight with such a monster.

And everything that followed proved that his idea was absolutely correct.

Silber sat on the commander's seat of the tank. Since this water tank tank was produced as a test model, the internal structure was modified by Silber.

Now, he can sit in the commander's seat and control the movement of the water tank tank, which was difficult to achieve in the original design.

Of course, if you want to use one person's power to open this chariot that was originally designed as a three-person vehicle, it is impossible to do it with some modifications.

If it weren't for the Ark as an autonomous machine to make up for the vacancy in operation, it is very likely that Silber is still studying how to reverse the car and get out of the warehouse.

And different from the compartment structure in the design drawing, the compartment of this chariot is filled with various electronic components and instruments. Silber collected all the data in this actual battle.

This is a hard-won opportunity, and the effect of the exercise is in no way comparable to the actual combat with real guns and live ammunition.

"Aiming deviation is 34% while driving, and the vertical stabilization system needs to be adjusted again."

The voice of the ark sounded in Silber's earphones. He glanced at the tablet terminal on his lap, and swiped a few lines of prompts above: "Save all the muzzle movement data in this test, and test the static state next. Accuracy of shelling."

The accelerator was released, and the chariot stopped firmly in the middle of the bridge, becoming an insurmountable wall between the city defense army and the French troops.

Although for both parties, this kind of tank is a rare thing that has never been seen before, but they still see a lot of armored vehicles, at least how to cooperate with/target this type of armed units.
