Chapter 320 Disparity in Firepower

Chapter 320 Disparity in Firepower

The adjutants all looked thoughtful.

After a while, an adjutant said: "I remember that Demacia's communication method is a small monster of the same type as our Blue Winged Bird, and the speed is almost the same. Based on the distance between the two places, the fastest twelve We can communicate key information to each other within hours.”

Another adjutant said: "In other words, we must reach the location of another German army within twelve hours to make it feasible."

Another adjutant said: "But for this distance, if we march at the fastest speed, it will probably take us twenty hours."

"If it were a normal road section, it would naturally take such a long time."

Demir knew the concerns of these lieutenants and had already made arrangements, saying: "But don't forget where we are now. In front of us, there is a river flowing from top to bottom."

As he spoke, Demir pointed his hand on the map: "And here, the slot canyon is usually flooded by the downward river water. However, there is a period of time every summer when the height of the river does not reach the canyon. , usually only reaches a person's knees. And this, to us, is a shortcut that Demacia absolutely cannot know."

After his words fell, the adjutants perked up and stood up one after another and came to the map to examine it carefully.

As Noxians, they naturally have a better understanding of their own landforms than Demacia.

And Demir was born in this area. If he said it, it is basically true.

"The total length of the canyon is about 1,500 meters. Is it difficult for us Noxian men to pass through this canyon?"

Demir continued: "Through the shortcut, we only need to advance another five to six kilometers to reach the German army's position."

An adjutant thought seriously: "If that's the case, it's really feasible. A normal advance requires going around the mountains, but if we cross the slot canyon, it can save our army at least ten hours."

There is a problem with this strategy.

That's the arraignment.

It only took twelve hours for the two parties to send a message, and it would take twenty hours for the army to travel at top speed.

If they follow Demir's plan, they will send the main force to raid another German army.

They need to arrive before the Imperial Army discovers this and sends a message to the German Army.

This move focuses on an information gap. On the surface, the army is defending the Imperial Army's attack. In fact, the real main force has already gone to raid another army.

This is Demir's confidence in his war vision. He believes that Demacia will never be able to react.

No matter how quickly they were discovered, the speed of their transmission could not match the speed of the rapid march.

Even a one-hour gap is enough to affect the outcome of a war.

"The opportunity to wipe out the German army in one fell swoop is right in front of us. For us, this is a risk, but it is also an extremely precious opportunity."

Demir looked at his lieutenant general and said: "Nashat, lead 90,000 people to set off quickly and follow the planned route."

Upon hearing this, Nashat immediately stood up, with a serious and serious expression on his face, and took the order: "I will not let the general down!!"

An adjutant said worriedly: "But in this case, Bruan City"

Demir took the words and said: "There are only 10,000 troops left in Bruan City. Facing the attack of the Imperial Army, it will be broken sooner or later. In order to prevent accidents, our task is to delay as much time as possible. The seven we traded today Thousands of prisoners of war can put on battle helmets and serve as numbers, the sooner the imperial army sees through them, the better."

In comparison, Nashat's task is actually lighter.

Because Demir was facing the main force of Demacia, and his task was to delay, the risk was extremely high.

This also made Nashat more aware of the importance of his mission.

Whether another German army can be defeated and whether Demir's plan can be implemented depends entirely on him.

Without further ado, Nashat quickly led his army from behind the city. The team only brought equipment that could fight the enemy, and nothing else.

Because in their opinion, this raid must be successful.

After success, all the resources of the other German army will be theirs.

It was getting darker and darker.

Demir stood on the city wall, quietly looking at the direction of the Imperial Army, and was ready for everything.

as time flows.

A cool breeze blew from high places, the flames on the torches flickered, the reflections of the mountains and forests in the distance kept shaking, and suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground.

First there was a flash of fire, and then more and more torches lit up on the opposite side.

"coming!"

Demir was fully focused, and when he saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Everyone, get ready!"

He continued to look forward. The army led by the prince came in a mighty manner. At night, the momentum was even more oppressive. Row after row of white-armored soldiers were neatly arranged in the military formation. In the military formation, Cavalry, infantry, shield soldiers, chariots, and the military flag fluttering in the wind. Dozens of silver-winged dragon birds flew out from high in the mountains and forests, and howled loudly at night, resounding above the clouds.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As the army approached, the sound of their uniform stamping on the ground continued to be heard, like the sound of drums beating in the heart.

"Woo"

Suddenly, a loud horn blast sounded from the Imperial Army. The eardrums trembled with the sound of the horn, and goosebumps appeared on the arms.

Demir only felt that the momentum hovering over this army suddenly became more powerful.

"Is this Demacia's army?"

Standing on the city wall, Demir clenched his fists unconsciously and stared closely.

It is no exaggeration to say that the sense of oppression brought by the Demacia army was stronger than any enemy army he had ever seen.

There was a sound of swallowing next to him, and Demir understood him. No matter who it was, the pressure would skyrocket after seeing such a scene.

"Don't panic! Everyone, stick to your position! This is our home court!"

Demir shouted, then waved his hands violently: "Bang the drum!"

When the soldiers guarding the giant drum heard this, they immediately raised the drumsticks in their hands and banged it hard.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The city walls were covered with black-armored soldiers, and deafening drum beats were heard rhythmically from all directions, forming an extremely huge momentum. It was as if there were endless people, competing with the Imperial Army in mid-air.

The nervousness of many soldiers was relieved a lot.

But as the distance between the two parties continues to get closer, the tense atmosphere continues to rise.

Finally, the methods used by both sides to boost morale before the war stopped, and the only sound that followed was the sound of the army advancing.

As the Imperial Army's tanks advanced one by one, Demir ordered without hesitation: "Shoot!"

Immediately, tens of thousands of people raised their long bows, the sound of bow strings being stretched sounded out, and a curtain of rain fell in the night sky.

Tens of thousands of arrows roared towards them, but at the same time, Demacia had sent a shield formation forward to block the rain of arrows.

And on the chariots, there are also huge shields to protect against arrows.

Of course, Demir did not expect to shoot the enemy to death with arrows. This was just to delay the offensive of the Imperial Army.

However, he knew that the real offensive of the Imperial Army had not yet begun.

As the tanks advanced one by one, they finally entered the firing range of the artillery, and the forts were deployed at an extremely fast speed.

Demil, who had a keen premonition, immediately shouted: "Everyone, get ready! Archers, go shoot those things!"

"Swish, swish, swish!"

A huge amount of arrows were shot out.

However, their arrow rain will be blocked by the anti-arrow device set up on the fort, and the fort is standing below. The soldiers hide behind the shields and don't have to worry about being shot.

"boom!"

The first cannonball was fired, with a huge sound, across the night, flying straight towards the city wall.

Demir watched the black cannonball getting closer and closer, and had already moved out of the way.

"boom!!"

The next second, a ball of fire exploded in that place, engulfing everything around it and setting off a strong heat wave, displaying astonishing power.

"Black powder!"

Even though Demir was mentally prepared, he was still surprised.

This is definitely black powder, no doubt about it.

But it is more powerful and has a longer range than what Noxus is developing. Obviously, the safety problem has been solved.

Unexpectedly, Demacia secretly held back such a big move.

He naturally already knew that Demacia's attack this time had powerful weapons.

The shells fired were like terrifying magic. However, at this moment, there were countless such shells.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Every tremor of the eardrums represented the firing of a cannonball, and the Imperial Army's indiscriminate bombing had truly begun.

There were bursts of fire all over the city walls, and the smell of gunpowder smoke filled the battlefield. The Noxian soldiers could only keep dodging, and were completely helpless.

Demir clenched his fists and had a bad feeling.

If the Imperial Army's firepower is so fierce, they may not be able to sustain it for long.

As those dragon bird knights flew overhead, bombs were accurately dropped into the pile of soldiers.

DeMille yelled, "Where are the Birds! Stop them!"

However, it is very difficult. You must know that Demacia's dragon birds are definitely ranked high in terms of strength.

If they have enough dragon birds, their aerial prowess alone will be enough to scare every enemy.

At the moment, facing these flying dragon and bird knights, there is nothing that can stop them.

"General, if we continue to defend like this, we will suffer heavy casualties!"

An adjutant ran to Demir's side despite the constant explosion of gunpowder.

Demir naturally also saw this unfavorable situation. The Imperial Prince's Army had not yet spent a single soldier, but it had already exploded to the point where they could no longer take care of themselves.

There are many redeemed people wearing armor on the city wall, but whether they have it or not, it has no effect at all.

The enemy doesn't care at all how many people you have defending the city. With this level of firepower, no matter how many people there are, it will be of no avail.

After a while, it might be too late for them to launch a real charge.

"Order, withdraw from Bruan City!"

Without hesitation, Demir shouted the order.

His war intuition is very keen, so he knows that even if they persist, they will only sacrifice more people, but it will not prolong it longer.

The firepower gap between the two sides is too huge.

He just never expected that he couldn't even hold on for half an hour.

He glanced in the direction of Nashat, turned around and galloped away.

There is still time, and now, we can only place our hopes on Nashat.

He saw the flaw of these fort gunpowders, that is, they were not suitable for close combat. If they suddenly hit the enemy's face and launched a close offensive, the gunpowder would be useless.

In other words, if the army led by Nashat launches a melee charge, there is a great chance!

On the way out of the city, Demir clenched his fists, and the scene of gunpowder exploding each other was still in his mind.

Gunpowder is truly a terrifying thing that can so easily overturn the direction of a battle.

This greatly increases the balance of a battle.

But similarly, if you can also possess weapons of this level

Demir is increasingly aware of the importance of gunpowder. If he can capture Demacia's supplies this time, he must study it carefully.

at the same time.

Demacia's army sieges the city.

Lu Qi also noticed something was wrong. He looked at the city wall where the number of people was starting to become sparse, and thought thoughtfully: "This city defense is not strong enough."

It would never be so difficult for a hundred thousand people to defend a city.

If he were a Noxian general, faced with this situation, he would have two choices.

First, either run directly.

Second, either choose to fight directly, give up defending the city, and go out to meet the enemy.

Although he will be shot by shells for a while, this is the only way to break the situation.

Cannonballs are not so useful once they are approached.

Although they are generally not easily approached.

At this time, dragon and bird knights also flew back from the sky, and Lu Qi reported: "Your Highness, the enemy's military strength in the city is probably only one hundred thousand."

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Lu Qi sensed something and decisively ordered: "Charge! Destroy the city!"

After stopping the discharge of gunpowder, the cavalry took the lead to rush out, their horses galloping, followed by a mighty army behind them.

Soon, the city gate was easily broken open, seemingly because the other party had no intention of defending the city. When they were about to arrive, Noxus did not leave the broken team behind, and all of them withdrew.

As the chariots collided, the solid city gate only resisted tenaciously for a few times before being smashed open.

Lu Qi was walking on the deserted streets of Bruan City. Quinn came back to report: "Your Highness, they just withdrew. Do you want to pursue them?"

When Lu Qi heard this, he shook his head slightly: "No need, inform the entire army and they will be stationed in Bruan City."

The other party obviously wanted the team with resources to retreat first, so that the team that retreated later would have no worries. If they were to escape and pursue each other, Lu Qi would definitely not be able to catch up.

He had already noticed something was wrong at this moment.

It was obviously impossible for Noxus to send only this amount of troops to defend the city, and more importantly, where were the prisoners of war?

There is no way they have all been evacuated.

After thinking for a while, Lu Qi opened the secret key, edited a paragraph and sent it to Lev.
