Age of Collapse - zChapter 1146
Grand Marshal: “Sometimes, I really feel that our country can help.”
Reporter: “How do you say?”
Grand Marshal: “The sudden torrential rain changed everything. Floods are everywhere on the land of the motherland, but we are not afraid that off-road vehicles can easily ride through the accumulated water and everyone is moving lightly. But the war horses of the church cannot move in the torrential rain. The horseshoe slips in the mud by accident. The knight’s armor can easily move hundreds of pounds or even a thousand pounds. For a knight in heavy armor, once the fall in a heavy rain, the armor will crush them to the water. Here, they can no longer get up, and half a meter of water can drown them. ”
Reporter: “So, like winter in Moscow, nature has blocked the enemy for us, hasn’t it?”
Grand Marshal: “I don’t know where the cyclone came from, and it has never been documented. Maybe it is a gift from nature, or it may be someone who silently paid. No matter what, this cyclone saved the empire and also saved Everyone. ”
Reporter: “Dear Marshal, what would you say if you let us evaluate this war in one sentence?”
Grand Marshal: “Man is bound to win!”-“Post-war Memoirs”
…
Rain, terrible rain.
The knights of the church never thought that the torrential rain was so terrible that it was better than thousands of horses.
A huge cyclone landed on the empire’s territory. If the precise calculations were made, the area with the most intense wind pressure was precisely at the front of the war—Jiangnan.
The sky in the south of the river seemed to be covered with a layer of black cloth that never translucent. The haze filled the entire sky, the rainstorm poured down from the dark clouds like a splash, and the wind was roaring on the ground like a dragon. The water raised a curtain of water.
The heavy rain destroyed the dense formation of the church troops. When the land became muddy and filled with water, the unstoppable warhorses on the flat ground became heavier than the bears. They stepped on the hoof in fright, and the horseshoes continued to slip in the mud. It usually takes several minutes to get out of a hundred meters. Once they fall, the weight of the war horses will squeeze the bones, deform their internal organs, rupture, and eventually die.
For knights wearing heavy armor, the rainstorm was even more tormenting. The indestructible armor was once their most powerful partner in the war, but at this time it became a curse of death. If they fall in the stagnant water, the weight of the armor will press them into the water, and their limbs will slip on the ground, and they cannot support themselves with their own strength.
If there is no help from the companion, or the companion accidentally falls, the only thing waiting for them is to drown the road alive.
In the initial floods, a large number of cavalry troops drowned and died in the heavy rain. In the worst period, the density of the knights in a single day even exceeded the one hundred-day Changan battle.
The church crossed the battlefield evil spirits in Chang’an, but encountered another battlefield evil spirit named “Nature” in Jiangnan.
Later, the church leaders had to give instructions to the entire army-all the knights took off their armor, abandoned the war horses, and went on foot.
Of course, this greatly reduced non-combat attrition, but lost maneuverability, lost defensive armor, and returned to the original flesh, waiting for the church knights were the imperial guerrillas’ ammunition.
The Imperial Army finally found a chance to tell them what the battle damage was.
…
“Enemy attack! Find a cover immediately!” When the companion’s temple was penetrated, the knight erupted the mark of his eyebrows, driving Jinhuo to block the incoming bullets, and at the same time issued a combat order.
“Oh! …” There were bullets roaring continuously in the torrential rain, and the sound of the rain obscured the sound of gunfire, making it difficult to tell where the bullets were coming from.
This is a cavalry of more than a hundred people, which belongs to the vanguard. At this time, at least half of them were captured in the first round of sneak attacks. The remaining knights ignited the seal of God and hid behind the bunker.
To replace it with the previous one, if it was not for the highly penetrating armor-piercing projectiles, the knights would not have to bother with the gunshots. The hundreds of kilograms of heavy armor would be sufficient for the bullets that will strike in the future.
But at this time, they had to change their previous combat habits, hiding in a bunker like a turtle.
“Captain Beder, what should we do?” A knight asked.
Beder thought for a moment, pointing at the knight and saying, “Jon, you light up the seal and stand up and attract a round of shootings. I’ll find their place.”
“Yes, return to my lord.” Without any hesitation, Joan ignited the seal of God and rushed out of the bunker. The golden fire covering her body made him a living target directly.
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!” The bullets kept roaring. Although their voices were obscured by the sound of rain, the flames of the fire were still very dazzling, and Bed saw the position instantly.
After Joan retreated, the Seal of God consumed about one-third of the energy and still had a surplus.
Beder took out the sabre for slashing and said Shen Sheng: “At two o’clock, the knights! Ignite the seal of God! Charge! Return to my master!”
“Return to my lord!”
“Return to my Lord !!!”
In the lingering golden light, more than fifty knights ignited the seal of God directly and launched a charge with Bed.
According to visual observations, the distance between the two sides was more than 100 meters. If it was changed before, the charging war horse could rush through in a few seconds, but at this time it was changed to walking, and the road was full of mud and water, and the running speed was much slower.
When the knights charged, the imperial guerrillas were still firing, and the continuous fire flames in the rain made them more determined.
Just halfway through, suddenly, a knight felt that something had been stepped on his feet, and as the shadows of the road rose, a deep startle appeared in their eyes, the brain reacted, but the body did not keep up.
“Boom boom! …” The black shadows exploded one after another, hundreds of steel **** whistled with super kinetic energy, and instantly broke the golden fire of the knights, hitting their bodies with scars. .
“Be careful! There is a thunderous thunder!” The knight’s imprint is so energetic that he blocked all the steel **** and debris ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ but his subordinates are not so lucky, at least twenty The knight was directly struck by the steel **** of the thunder, and more than a dozen people were severely injured and fell to the ground, screaming with broken limbs, blood mixed with the water under them.
“I’ll go up first! Keep a distance with me, and follow my pace!” Seeing the heavy casualties, Bed was furious and set off a path full of golden fire.
Along the way, the bullets continued to strike, and they stepped on seven or eight thunder mines along the way, but they were stopped by Beder’s golden fire. When he rushed to the position of the imperial guerrillas, half of the figures were not seen. At that time, I saw only a note left by the imperial soldiers, and the handwriting had been moistened, but we could still see that it was written in church text: “Go to hell, teach the dog.”
Bed was so angry that his eyes were red, and he looked around for the enemy, but found that the imperial guerrillas were like ghosts and had no idea where to go.
Before long, gunfire sounded in the other direction.
Bed rushed along the gun flames, stepped on many more thunder along the way, the gold fire barrier was constantly weakened, but when he rushed behind the bunker, he found that the other person was gone.
Bed looked at the empty battlefield in amazement and muttered to himself: “How did they disappear?”
