Chapter 764: Midnight Battle


“Isn’t it okay?”

"Good, blocked them" At the fastest speed. otbnkotgt Freya, the Russian Goth, was a little pissed off.

In contrast, Archon Leopold showed a pleasant smile.

From this point of view, the judgment is clear.

In other words, the outcome of the war can also be determined. perhaps.

Maybe.

If that's really possible.

Although the possibility is not very high.

But, at least this proves that the imperial army is not invincible, right?

As long as we have enough troops, good enough fighting power, courage, determination, and of course weapons, then the world can be turned around for the "good" side.

It's like this now.

The armies of the Russian Gothic Empire were held back.

In front of the armored train, no matter how hard their army tried, they could not take a step forward unless the armored train was unlucky enough to be hit by the giant artillery that attacked the city.

Otherwise the armored train would never be damaged.

Ordinary infantry artillery can't blast through special steel armor several inches thick.

Yes, steel.

Although the name is something like an armored vehicle.

But the actual material is steel.

Moreover, it is Britons' latest alloy steel.

In terms of this kind of armament, the Britons have done a brilliant job.

This armored train, which is simply made of silver, represents the latest and best weapons and equipment of the Britons, and represents the concrete manifestation of the strength of the Imperial Army.

Similarly, it also represents the courage of the Britons to suppress the entire Old World.

At least that is true while these armored trains still belong to the Britons, at least while they are still fighting for this country.

The Russian Gothic Empire came in too haste.

In other words, the empire has never made preparations for defense or siege.

Therefore, neither large-caliber siege guns nor large-caliber fortress guns were brought.

With only the maximum twenty-four-pound infantry cannon, there is no way to defeat the armored train.

"Yes, that's it.

If you continue to hide in your defense line, the situation may be a little more difficult."

Archon Leopold thought in his heart.

Thinking about it with great excitement.

If that's the case, then when the empire's main force of 200,000 troops arrives, he will have to consider switching from offense to defense.

No, he didn't even need the main force of the empire to come.

He only needed the imperial army to overwhelm the Visigoth auxiliary forces in Frisia in the north and form a two-sided attack on the Visigoth Republic army.

He would have to think about retreating. .

But now.

Sure enough, fate was on his side.

The other party couldn't stand the oppression brought by the armored train.

He took the initiative to attack himself.

In this case, without large-caliber artillery, they would die as many as they came.

Hahahahahaha However, soon.

The imperial army used reality to tell Consul Leopold what daydreaming is.

What does it mean to be too naive?

These combat engineers held long rod-shaped blasting tubes, crawled forward, arrived in front of the armored train, and then suddenly jumped up and stuffed the blasting tubes in their hands along the firing holes of the armored train.

After that, violent The explosion sounded.

A violent explosion occurred.

In the closed environment of the carriage, the lethality of such an explosion has been increased by an unknown amount.

Of course, such an explosion cannot destroy the armored train.

However, none of the Visigoth soldiers in the carriage survived.

In this case, it would be meaningless whether to destroy the carriage itself.

A dozen combat engineers, and then a dozen blasting canisters.

This design alone makes the seemingly indestructible armored train useless. certainly.

These blasting tubes do not use black powder, but new explosives.

This is a bit more luxurious for the empire.

But in terms of cost performance, it can knock down an armored train and consume these things.

Of course, the combat engineer will not lose his life.

This is already considered a pretty cheap price.

With this small force and this new weapon, a super powerful strategic weapon costing millions of pounds can be scrapped.

If other countries knew about such a tactic, they would be happy to show their shame, and then they would get this technology no matter what.

Although it is absolutely impossible.

After destroying their most proud weapon, the Imperial Army began to intensify its offensive.

Although the armored train has been scrapped for the time being.

But if we just leave it alone, other soldiers who are not afraid of death will rush in.

Or guys who are afraid of death are forced to move in by their officers or something.

In this way, what you did before will be meaningless.

The same is true if the railway lines are removed.

It can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Although it can divert some time, it actually doesn't have much effect.

Therefore, there are two tactics that can really be used.

One of them is to use a large amount of explosives to completely destroy two armored trains.

Even if the armored carriages cannot be destroyed, the steam engines in the armored trains can also be destroyed.

It was a special steam engine with a power of more than 5,000 horsepower, specially designed to drive armored trains.

Even with the technology of the Britons and the Russian Gothic Empire, it would be difficult to make such a thing.

In other words, it has surpassed the threshold of industrial manufactured products and moved towards precision processing.

After all, it is a very, very rare thing.

Whether it is relatively advanced technology or relatively rare magic props, it is necessary to make a steam engine with such power.

Technology alone is not enough.

It also requires a little magic and the help of black technology.

In other words, the current Visigoths do not have enough knowledge to create such a thing.

Although they sent envoys to the permafrost areas of the northern ice sheet, they wanted to get the dwarves to support their great cause of justice.

But the dwarves were not interested in this.

In all senses, these guys' enthusiasm for wealth is not much different from that of ordinary capitalists.

Moreover, these guys are still using the backward aristocratic republic.

From a human point of view, these dwarf kings, high kings and so on are all feudal, corrupt and degenerate parts.

They must be punished and then kill them all.

All they have to do is distribute all their property.

Of course, maybe it was this reason that made the dwarves feel angry.

In any case, they still prefer their traditions and their current political system.

Although some old fogies with longer and whiter beards have various complaints about their king.

But they were only shouting behind closed doors in their own homes.

In this situation, inexplicable human beings appeared, speaking inexplicable words, and wanted to help them carry out revolution.

If they wanted to kill their king, they would probably chop off his head and kick it as a ball.

In fact, after receiving this information, William expressed great surprise at the restraint of the dwarves.

Isn't it said that those guys are very urinary?

Why did they endure it in the end and just drove the messenger away?

Mostly they were afraid that the Visigoths would finally gain power and unite the whole world to cause trouble for them.

Really, since when did dwarves become so philistine?

It’s disappointing just thinking about it.

In every sense.

William thought so in his heart, and then couldn't help but shook his head.

This world, it’s almost time to come to an end.

Of course, this happened before Imperial and Visigothic armies were still fighting.

The focus of the battle between the two sides lies in the two carriages.

That is, two carriages equipped with high-quality anthracite and steam engines.

Those are the two places.

Soldiers from both sides have stuck together.

A brutal hand-to-hand battle began.

Yes, melee combat.

This is currently the most important fighting method for soldiers on both sides.

Because the distance was too close, the firearms on both sides had little effect.

And because weapons that can play a huge role at close range, such as automatic rifles and automatic pistols, have not yet been invented, the way both sides fight is naturally with bayonets.

One thing that is completely different from ordinary wars in the cold weapon era is that one of the two sides is not equipped with armor, which means that the Visigoths omitted more important equipment in this regard.

In addition, there are no shields or other defensive items.

For medieval equipped super-pikemen, as long as the arrays are comparable, then if they are only engaged in hand-to-hand combat, the super-pikemen with longer weapons, equipped with armor, and more combat experience will definitely win.

However, this also resulted in the battles becoming more brutal and crazier.

Because there were no defensive props, and the three-edged bayonet supervised by William was very vicious, the bleeding speed was very fast.

Therefore, the enemy on the opposite side dies equally quickly.

Amidst the bursts of bayonets piercing the flesh, and the crisp sounds of a series of combat engineers cutting off half of the opponent's head with their engineer shovels, the imperial army continued to advance.

After the revolvers ran out of bullets, The cavalrymen also had to dismount, draw their sabers and join in hand-to-hand combat.

A few engineers took out their powerful grenades equipped with high explosives, stood in the second row, and then threw them hard.

Such tactics allowed the Imperial Army to repulse several enemy attacks despite being at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength, and successfully exploded the steam engine of an armored train.

However, at another steam engine, they encountered strong resistance.
