Section 500 Countermeasures

The northern tower of Shenwei Fortress.

The violent teeth stood on the observation deck, crossed their arms and hugged them horizontally in front of their chests, looking leisurely at the north. The thick fangs raised high from the corners of their mouths. Although they were smiling, they gave people a sense of inaccessible hideousness and fear.

According to the order of the scoundrel, based on the original scouts, plus 1,500 specially selected infantry and 800 cavalry, they formed a new scout brigade. They mainly patrol along the southern end of the canyon and observe the opposite side with distributed telescopes. Because of the strict monitoring measures and the white-headed eagle's message from the northern war zone twice a day, the scouts discovered signs of large-scale activities of the white-haired people in the north of the canyon very early, and the scoundrel was also arranged in advance according to the pre-developed combat plan.

Each legion is equipped with a staff department. All staff officers have received personal teaching and related training from His Highness the Regent in the City of Rock. The three people's heads are indeed better than one person. The officers put forward opinions on various situations that may arise on the battlefield and made targeted treatments. As the commander of the legion, the violent teeth were liberated from heavy mental labor and devoted more energy to other aspects.

Artillery is a weapon that must be given importance in combat. Long-range fire suppression is so important that the staff officers and the staff officers had to divide their artillery into multiple artillery groups and set them in different areas of the Shenwei Fortress. This is done to avoid being attacked by the enemy and causing all artillery to be destroyed. However, after checking the fortress to seize the spoils and receiving emergency communication from the young Regent, the storm found that there was a deviation between his original ideas and reality.

Simply put, it is just a sentence: the white cannon is very bulky and cannot hit too far.

The difference between front-loading guns and rear-loading guns is so obvious, not to mention that Tianhao's use of artillery caused by knowledge from the ancient civilization era has long exceeded the boundaries of time. Taking the 105mm caliber infantry cannon commonly used by the Dragon Clan as an example, its performance is equivalent to similar weapons in the early days of World War I, but there is a slight difference in the appearance of the gun stand and the structure of the shell, and the power of the explosion is not as strong as imagined.

But in any case, this is indeed one of the most powerful long-range weapons on Earth at present.

The savage is not a savage with a developed muscle and simple brain. He was particularly sensitive to numbers and used the field test of the artillery seized by the Shenwei Fortress, and quickly measured the longest range and power.

Sixty thousand white prisoners of war were transferred to work and worked hard day and night inside and outside the fortress. The supervisor's whip, the guns in the hands of the cold giants, and the bodies of the guys who escaped but were caught were nailed to a wooden cross... The violent tooth completed the entire fortress defense setup plan in a very short time. Especially some artillery set up in important positions, based on logs and steel bars in accordance with the air defense standards of the civilization era, with large protective surfaces on the surface, and their strength was astonishing. Not to mention the heavy and primitive spherical solid shells of the whites in the south, even the amazingly powerful large-caliber shells during World War II could not collapse them with one hit.

The huge transport team has been back and forth between Shenwei Fortress and Leizhou City on the eastern coast. The storm has built multiple new warehouses inside the fortress, and the largest number of all the supplementary materials is ammunition.

He never felt as rich as he is now. Even if he followed his tribe members to join the dragon clan... No, he was called the cow clan at that time. For the first time in his life, he wore cotton clothes, ate barbecue with hot oil, and chewed bread made of food, which was far less than the one who now has absolute strength in his hands and faced any enemy with sufficient confidence.

There were more and more white people outside the city. After a rough observation, there were as many as hundreds of thousands of people in the telescope field alone. In addition, it occupied the distant valleys and slopes, and there were at least millions.

Fantuo did not know Kalis, but he had heard this name. Through the interrogation of the prisoners of war in the Shenwei Fortress, he had already figured out the basic situation of the Kingdom coalition. Fantuo knew the flags flying on the white camp tents and temporary towers. It was a country called "Rhine"... Yes, it was a country, not a tribe. His Highness Regent repeatedly emphasized when he was teaching that the country and tribe cannot be confused.

The white man's artillery is so good! Even as the commander of the legion, the storm still cannot change the habit of swearing when he is happy.

It can be seen that the white commander opposite, the guy named "Calis", is obviously a smart person. Only a fool will attack the fortress at all costs and use his lives to fill this terrible bottomless pit. In fact, the practice of Kalis arranged the artillery troops behind the position from the beginning has long been clearly seen by Fantasy. The reason why the white duke did this was nothing more than to ensure the safety of his own artillery. However, this seemed useless to Fantasy. After all, both of them were not on the same level in terms of performance or power.

A few minutes after the white man fired heavily, the staff officers under Zhuochi had calculated the opponent's location based on the observed ballistics and shell landing points. With a command, the artillery groups located in various parts of the city began to fight back.

The purpose of storming teeth is very clear and it is necessary to knock out the opponent's cannon position as soon as possible.

This round of counterattack was not stingy with shells, and tons of shells fell on the main position of the Rhine Kingdom like hail. The rapid explosion made people feel that the end of the world was coming, and terrifying energy circles caused a wave of air, like heavy rollers tearing apart human bodies and smashing all existences who dared to resist.

The raging flames burned everywhere, and the wreckage of the human body shattered in the explosion emitted a strong fragrance and burnt smell during the high temperature roasting. Splashing gravel and soil fell from the sky, hitting the people running around like rain, causing greater chaos and damage. Many people who had no time to run were buried on the spot. When they struggled to stand up, their bodies were covered with floating soil as thick as several centimeters.

Kalis reacted quickly. When the first shell fell, he realized that something was wrong. He turned around and rushed down the platform and jumped onto the war horse tied to the wooden stake on the side. Before he could untie the rope, he pulled out his sword and cut it off directly. He clamped the horse's belly with both feet and ran towards the distant tent in the northeast direction.

The chance of survival is always left to those who feel keen. This is an intuition about potential crisis, and no scientific reason can explain it. Just after Calis rode his horse out for dozens of meters, a powerful shell landed accurately at the position he had just stood, blowing the temporary platform to pieces, and the six servants around him were killed on the spot. The adjutant was slightly lucky, but he was still affected by the violent waves of air. His whole person was lifted up from the ground like an out-of-control kite and threw it more than ten meters away. The pelvis was smashed to pieces on the hard rock, and he couldn't even stand up. He could only keep lying on his back and screamed loudly there.

Kalis ran wildly until the explosion behind him was not so deafening, and he could not feel the heat and shock. Then he lay on the horse's back, controlled the war horse under his crotch with his superb riding skills, grabbed the broken reins and reduced the speed, turned sideways and looked back.

The giant's attack target has been locked, which is the artillery of the Rhine Kingdom.

These giants were much smarter than they thought. A hint of surprise flashed through the heart of the messy Duke of Calis, and then he felt extremely horrified and unprecedented solemnity.

They are not without cannons, and their performance is not as bad as they imagined. Everything is to attract themselves to the bait, or it should be said that they are waiting for their first move. As long as the position is determined through cannon shooting, overwhelming long-range counters will follow.

Kalis had a vague understanding in his heart. He immediately ran to the forest not far away and rushed up the mountains covered by the woods. Before he could breathe well, he panted and took out a monocular telescope from his leather bag, unable to wait to see the battlefield in the distance.

The giant's artillery bombardment disrupted his own deployment. Kalis thought he had done a clever job before, so he even ordered the use of hay and branches to pile up at the front of the position to make camouflage. Heavy artillery entered the artillery position and completed the setting. A series of work such as the heavy artillery was secretly carried out after dark. The facts proved that all this was ineffective. The northern giant destroyed all this with powerful firepower. Even if Kalis sent people to recycle the heavy artillery scattered on the battlefield after the opponent's artillery fire was over, they were just a pile of useless pure metal garbage.

The shelling temporarily stopped the "ditch-filling" work of the engineers. People ran scattered in the explosion and shock. What was strange was that no shell fell between them, as if there was some strange force there blocking all this.

A thought suddenly flashed through Duke Calis's mind. Could it be that the giant was unable to fire the fire because of the shortest shooting range?

There were dense footsteps behind him, and the Duke quickly turned around and saw more than a dozen attendants riding on horseback. When they saw the Duke running here, they quickly gathered to protect their superiors.

"Come here!" Kalis quickly raised his hand and pointed at the closest attendant: "Tell me my order, the engineer continues to fill the canyon and throw down all useless things, including the dead body. I want to open up that damn road as soon as possible!"

He looked crazy at this moment. Half of his face was blackened in the explosion of air waves, a little hair was burnt, sweat and sand mixed with each other and covered his face, making his skin look particularly rough. The red eyes were not caused by excitement, but were stimulated by the smoke that was densely packed on the battlefield and difficult to dissipate in a short period of time. Anger distorted the facial muscles, and the expression was ferocious. The neat and white teeth were not called the so-called "noble temperament" in this occasion. It looked like an ogre who had just escaped from the hungry ghost world and wanted to eat anything.

The servant who was clicked couldn't help but shiver and turned his horse's head to pass the order. He was actually very moved by this order, mainly the sentence "including the dead's corpse."

This means that the Duke has used any means to achieve his goal and does not think about issues such as rationality.

...

At the Shenwei Fortress Tower, an adjutant walked into the violent teeth that were observing the battlefield, stood not far behind him, and whispered: "Sir, they did not stop, and were still continuing to fill the ditch outside."

The same depth and distance are huge canyons for the whites in the south, and in the eyes of the giants in the north, it is just a "ditch".

Without waiting for the violent teeth to speak, the adjutant continued to say in a respectful and low voice: "I can now notify the artillery commander and let him adjust the new shooting elements."

"Let them fill it!" The violent teeth kept holding the telescope in a fixed position, and said lightly: "It is a good thing to like work. Let them exercise, so that they can be healthy."

The adjutant was stunned, and the servants around who heard their conversation looked at each other one by one. They wanted to laugh but did not dare to make rashes in front of the violent teeth, so they could only forcefully hold back.

"His Highness the great Regent said that you should not think too well about everything, nor do you stop all the roads, at least leave some gaps for others. Only in this way can they see hope and not become crazy because of complete despair."

Ravenous teeth put down his telescope, turned slowly, and stared at the adjutant with a clear expression on his face. He was fierce and ferocious and ruthless and instructive tone: "The most terrifying opponents are madmen and idiots. I don't want to deal with a group of white lunatics."

The adjutant's mind was very fast, and he nodded repeatedly: "Sir, what do you mean is that even if they fill the groove outside, it will be useless. The width is narrow, and it is destined that the number of people charged each time will not be too many, and it can also reduce our defensive pressure in disguise?"

Ravenous smirked and patted the adjutant's shoulder, saying with satisfaction: "Order the artillery to continue shooting according to the observation results, mainly attacking the white people's frontier warehouses and artillery. Remember, the distance cannot exceed five hundred meters, and they must create an illusion that our cannon cannot hit that far."

The adjutant quickly bowed and bowed.

"Wait first." The storm shouted at the adjutant who was about to turn around, and a cold expression appeared on his rough-skinned face: "Pick out those white prisoners who are not good at performing normally, two thousand... no, three thousand people. The old rules are: pierce them with a spear and insert them on the top of the city. Hahaha, since white people like to watch, let them see enough!"

...

Outside the city, the work of filling the ditch is still underway. It is just that the artillery fire cover caused a large amount of materials to be damaged, and the white engineers had to re-collect and transport various fillings from the rear positions, which invisibly increased the work and was forced to slow down the progress of the work.

A shrill scream came from the fortress city in the distance. The engineers raised their heads and looked at the top of the city wall in the direction of the sound. The rude giants tear their clothes in a few seconds, used an oversized iron hook to pass through the left and right shoulders of the poor prisoners, fixed them with thick and strong iron chains behind them, and kicked them off the city wall with one kick.
