Chapter 763: The Secret Weapon of the Britons


That is to say, while Freya lowered her strategic expectations, her enemies were roaring loudly. otbnkotgt "Why can't it be broken down?"

Seeing the embarrassment of his own troops suffering heavy losses but still being unable to break through the enemy's defense line, Consul Leopold on the opposite side looked livid and extremely embarrassed.

Of course, the breakthrough he was talking about did not mean breaking through one or two lines of defense.

He meant defeating all three forward legions of the Russian Gothic Empire and defeating Lorraine, the capital of Lotharnia, which they were guarding.

Break through.

In this way, we can gain a certain advantage when the enemy's main force comes.

Only in this way can the Visigoths' declining military morale be inspired.

Otherwise, even a partial army with such a weak enemy is no match, and there is no need to expect to harm each other with His Majesty the Emperor of the Russian Gothic Empire.

It's a really disappointing ending when you think about it.

Seeing that the Russian Gothic Empire still has three lines of defense, the Gothic Empire, which has lost so many troops and technical weapons, still has a strong fighting will and high morale.

It is very difficult to break through their defenses on the battlefield.

In contrast, the Visigothic army.

They suffered heavy losses under the powerful firepower of the Imperial Army.

Especially when the cavalry troops of the Russian Gothic Empire launched counterattacks every time, they would cause heavy losses to the Visigoths and at the same time, their morale would be seriously frustrated.

The most serious one was naturally the wild, no, should be said to be crazy charge by the dark elves' cavalry.

Such a crazy charge dealt a huge blow to the morale of the Republic army.

Let them begin to doubt whether this war can really be won.

It's so sad, so sad.

The morale of these revolutionaries began to waver after being attacked by these lunatics. they are disloyal Although I think so in my heart.

But except for His Excellency the Archon, who was in a state of high spirits, or whose spirit had become a little abnormal, most people thought that they had worked hard enough.

In other words, in the face of such powerful firepower from the Russian Gothic Empire, what they can do is quite good, and there is no need to be harsh on them.

Although I want to say this, thinking about the result of failure in this kind of battle makes people even more unhappy, to the point of wanting to kill someone.

"That is to say, everyone, my dear friends, my partners, who are also the country's smartest military strategists, and the most brave and capable generals, there is nothing you can do to save the situation of the war, is that right?"

Saying such embarrassing words, Archon Leopold shook his head helplessly: "Well, okay.

Although I don't want to do this.

But now it seems that we can only go further and use Such a weapon."

"That kind of weapon?"

After Consul Leopold said such words, the expressions of the generals around him became very complicated.

Although it was very uncomfortable, there was still nothing I could do about it.

In other words, they also understand the capabilities and lethality of that weapon.

In addition, that is to say "There's no need to do that for the time being."

Beside them, there were still people who maintained their last bit of sober judgment.

When others looked at him as if they wanted to kill someone, he said weakly: "I think we still have another weapon we can use.

It is even more powerful than those evil Britons.

Royalist stuff."

"You are right."

After this, Archon Leopold thought for a moment and then smiled.

It is indeed a not very advanced weapon.

But it doesn’t matter.

Some things are not always better when they are more advanced, right?

After this, one day.

New changes soon appeared on the battlefield.

This change made the soldiers of the Russian Gothic Empire army on the opposite side very unhappy and dissatisfied.

In other words, two armored trains appeared on the battlefield, using the newly built temporary railways that looked shoddy to the empire's combat engineers.

They have become two weapons to protect the army of the Republic.

"These bastards actually left this thing behind."

Seeing this armored train, Freya on the opposite side was furious and gritted her teeth.

She couldn't help but cursed the enemy and the enemies of the enemy together with the officers under her command.

That is, those bastard Britons.

Yes, for an emerging country like the Visigothic Republic, they have neither the physical objects nor the technology for the armored train, which is a major killer.

These two armored trains were all "kindly sponsored" by the Britons.

One of them was a trophy lost in the Battle of Normandy that year.

At that time, the Normandy family wanted to escape as fast as possible.

Because I was so anxious, I forgot about the existence of this armored train.

Or maybe it's for some other reason.

In short, these two armored trains, which played a major role in the Normandy War, became a precious trophy of the Visigoths.

There is a similar car, and it comes from Frisia.

If there is still a chance in the Normandy War, then the Battle of Frisia is definitely because the Britons definitely have ulterior motives.

These bastards left the armored train behind and deliberately did not destroy it just to trick their allies.

All Imperial people can guarantee that this is true.

"These bastards."

Of course, such behavior made the soldiers of the Russian Gothic Empire share the same hatred and worry.

Although the enemy is a shameless bastard.

But the enemy's power doesn't diminish just because he's a shameless bastard.

Two armored trains with seven carriages joined the battlefield, making the battle more intense.

With the defensive assistance of the armored train, the Visigoths' attack became somewhat unscrupulous.

Two armored trains carrying a large number of artillery, not counting their attack power, after all, this thing needs to be nearby to be effective.

No matter how many artillery pieces there are on the armored train, they cannot be more than the artillery pieces on both sides' artillery positions.

There was no existing railway to utilize, and only temporary military railways were used, further limiting their mobility.

However, the defensive power of these two armored trains alone is excellent enough.

Relying on these two armored trains, which can be called movable fortresses, when the Visigoths launch another charge, they no longer need to use their bodies to resist artillery shells. .

Although casualties are still unavoidable, such casualties have been reduced from miserable to acceptable.

Armored trains, artillery and cavalry were used as means of attack.

After several rounds of continuous charges, the third line of defense of the Russian Gothic Empire reached a precarious level.

"In this case" After gritting her teeth, Freya made up her mind.

That night, a total of two brigades of combat engineers and four battalions of imperial cavalry were barely gathered together.

Under the cover of the firepower of the imperial artillery group, they launched a night attack on the enemy.

Although there is nothing tactically wrong.

However, the Republican army on the opposite side was not unprepared.

Although he did not know the news in advance, as a commander who had fought many wars, Leopold certainly understood that he needed to be vigilant at all times and prevent night attacks.

Before that, their army had suspended attacks on the Imperial Army. attack.

Then in front of the armored train, engineering troops were used to build defensive fences, trenches, etc., and a large number of troops were stationed for defense.

Although these troops were not very vigilant due to the advantage of the battle situation, they still caused huge damage to the empire's surprise attack.

At midnight, after the first gunshot broke the silence, what followed was continuous gunfire like popping beans, and one after another explosions.

The imperial army, which failed to make a surprise attack, immediately switched to an attack without hesitation. .

After two signal bombs were fired into the sky, the empire's powerful artillery group first showed off its power.

After a salvo of hundreds of artillery of various types, the cavalry battalion launched a charge without hesitation, followed by a series of explosions.

This group of Visigoths frantically laid mines in front of their positions.

The unconscious imperial army stepped on it and immediately detonated it.

After that, there was a series of gunshots.

Of course such a noise is not normal, and it certainly attracts attention.

Of course it will make the Visigoths wake up immediately Almost all the Visigoths stationed behind the defense line, those lying on the armored train, and the Visigoths in the train carriage woke up.

After that, it was a fierce battle.

"Keep charging" Yan looked at this scene, and the frontline commander of the Imperial Army gritted his teeth and gave the order directly, even though the next battle would not be easy to fight.

But no matter how hard it is to fight, we still have to fight.

Otherwise, it would be better if he was shot after he returned.

In just an instant, the cavalry troops suffered heavy losses.

More than a thousand cavalrymen in four battalions fell in an instant, and more than a third of them fell.

In contrast, the shorter combat engineers were better.

Of course, the more important thing is that these combat engineers know how to crawl forward.

This is a magical skill in the current war, although these guys still have to walk through landmines.

But no matter what, it is much stronger than the cavalry unit that cannot advance or retreat.

After forcibly breaking through the front fence and rushing through the trenches, the remaining Imperial cavalry found themselves in a dilemma.

In front are the Visigoths who rely on the armored train as a line of defense.

Whether it is a revolver or a carbine, the bullet hitting the armor plate of the train has no meaning.

In the dark night, it is also quite difficult to spot the firelight and hit the shooting hole of the train to kill or injure the enemies inside.

And these cavalrymen riding divine war horses are good targets for the Visigoths160420oshow7:
