The size of the army strictly limits the use of weapons. Normally, five people are required to use each of the twelve howitzers. Even if it is reduced to the minimum combatant, it still requires three people.

For the current combat readiness army, which has a total strength of less than 300 people, it is too much to include nearly 50 people in the artillery force.

However, this group of combat-ready soldiers are all-round warriors. One person can perform multiple tasks, rather than just being an ordinary soldier.

In this situation, Gudern has no choice. The current situation can only be to suffer the soldiers first. When the number of soldiers increases, this batch of soldiers will all be promoted to officers and soldiers to lead the team and manage the new soldiers.

The recruitment task was issued, and the combat readiness army quickly assembled an artillery team of fifty people to complete the assembly.

The twelve howitzers were all mounted on trucks and ready to go at any time.

In the command room, Gudern arranged the mission to Maltz.

"The orcs Chaofan near the War Fortress have been seriously injured and cannot take action. This is a good opportunity for us to attack. I organized the artillery to launch a sudden attack on the orcs in the elemental line, so that they cannot live so peacefully."

"Your mission is to direct a base number of artillery shells towards the opponent's high-density gathering area in the shortest possible time. After firing a base number, fire three more incendiary bombs to destroy the corpses, and then evacuate. Do you understand?"

As he spoke, Gudern used his baton to draw a circle near the elemental veins, and then pointed at a maximum preset artillery position to indicate their destination.

Looking at the map, Malz nodded to show that he understood.

"Noros will then provide you with an attack map. You can set off. Remember to finish the attack as quickly as possible and then retreat."

"Yes, I promise to complete the mission!"

After Maltz saluted Gudern, he immediately went to direct and arrange the departure of the personnel.

The 105 howitzer has its own tires, so it can be taken away directly by just hanging it on the back of a truck.

This is an important preparation for quickly setting up positions and evacuation.

The artillery convoy carried heavy artillery to the predetermined area. Noros had also completed the reconnaissance mission and brought the map to Malz to prepare for the attack.

Malz was a little excited to see the dense gathering marks on the map. The more the orcs gathered, the greater the damage caused by the artillery. Reducing the orcs' military strength was his biggest task.

Due to the withdrawal of the war fortress, the defense lines originally deployed by the orcs have all shrunk and retreated. The defense zone of more than 40 kilometers long no longer exists. The core protection area of ​​​​the orcs is only within the two or three kilometers area near the elemental veins.

After shrinking the personnel, the orc defense zone has become significantly denser, and it is impossible to cross it.

But artillery does not need to be in the opponent's face. What is the big advantage of the 105 howitzer?

Range!

Everything within range is the truth!

The maximum range of the 105 howitzer has been tested and the results have been obtained. The maximum range is 15.6 kilometers, but there is no way to attack accurately beyond this distance.

At present, the distance that artillery can accurately attack must be within 13 kilometers, but this distance is also unpredictable and unpredictable for the orcs.

Open fire and attack from a distance of thirteen kilometers, and then evacuate after a base attack. I'm afraid the orcs don't even know where to fire.

With such a weapon advantage, the orcs could only hold their noses and endure it.

Due to the range advantage and the truck's mobility, the artillery convoy arrived at the scheduled artillery position in less than half an hour and began to set up the artillery and make final adjustments to the attack parameters.

Since there is currently no such position as an artillery director, there is no time to correct and adjust the artillery once it fires. Therefore, Malz set the attack target in the central area where the orcs gathered.

In this way, even if the cannonball has a deviation in its impact point, it will not deviate too far and can still cause serious damage to the orc camp.

When all twelve 105 howitzers had adjusted their angles and aimed their muzzles upward, Maltz took a deep breath and then gave a loud order.

"The gunners are in position, ready to... fire!"

"Bang-bang-bang-"

The fire of twelve artillery pieces firing simultaneously instantly melted a small layer of snow under the muzzles.

Then the loader quickly stepped forward and held a shell and filled it in, followed by a booster pack, closed the breech, and then the operator adjusted the muzzle angle, and then fired again.

The whole process is completed in less than five seconds. You must know that this is a 105 howitzer, and normal loading takes more than ten seconds.

For these special warriors, this speed is already very normal after they become proficient.

While the third shell was still being calibrated, the first shell had already fallen into the orc camp. The screaming sound of the howitzer in flight attracted the attention of the orcs, but before they could react, a violent explosion suddenly exploded in the camp. .

Twelve violent fire explosions instantly turned the entire orc camp into a sea of ​​fire.

The absolute killing radius of a standard anti-aircraft grenade shell is thirteen meters. The twelve artillery pieces spread out in a row can cover an oval area three hundred meters long and twenty-six meters wide.

The orcs in this area have no possibility of survival, and at twenty or even thirty meters outside this range, the howitzer still has enough lethality.

But if they were protected by armor, they could barely survive. But according to the habits of the orcs, this round of attacks killed thousands of orcs, and the number of injuries was no less than the number of deaths.

Although the fire coverage in a straight line is very effective, Malz did not use this method. Instead, it targeted point-to-point coverage. Therefore, the killing ranges of many artillery pieces overlapped, allowing the orcs in a large area to directly attack. It was torn apart by the explosion and fire, not even the wreckage was left.

When the second and third rounds of howitzers fell again, the orcs finally reacted and shouted to disperse and leave the camp.

But at this time, the number of battle casualties had exceeded 5,000. After a basic number of howitzers were washed, it only took a little more than one minute.

Maltz did not forget the final finishing touches and immediately gave instructions.

"Change the shells to incendiary bombs and fire three rounds at the predetermined position!"

"Bang ding - click -"

"No. 3 is loaded!"

"No. 1 is loaded!"

As the twelve howitzers were loaded, Maltz gave the order to fire a salvo.

"put!"

Twelve cannonballs with special combustion were driven by high-pressure explosions and flew quickly into the orc camp.

Watching the explosion stop for about ten seconds, when the orcs thought it was over, the terrifying scream sounded again in the sky.

This time, unlike before, the intensity of the explosion was not that terrifying, but what followed was fierce fire and a special white mist covering the camp...

After the attack mission ended, Maltz immediately called for the personnel to load the vehicles and prepare for retreat.

From parking and preparation, to the end of the attack, and finally to evacuation, it took less than five minutes in total.

But in just five minutes, the orc camp caused immeasurable losses.

Noros, who was secretly observing outside the elemental leyline, was completely impressed by the power of this weapon.

He was just thinking about why Gudern asked him to mark the situation in the orc camp. He thought it was a mission to send people to harass and attack or something.

But I didn't expect that the sneak attack was indeed true. However, this sneak attack only used less than fifty people and almost wiped out the orc army of less than 30,000 people.

Under the continuous coverage of a base of artillery, more than 17,000 people were killed or injured in the orc camp. The surviving orcs were all on guard duty on the outside or just went out to patrol.

The remaining 8,000 people looked at this tragic camp, and their hearts became even more frightened by human weapons.

At this time, after Mengda learned the news, he couldn't help feeling a little lucky.

After being seriously injured by a human being yesterday, in order to avoid an accident, he directly retreated to the Yongshuang Mountains to recuperate.

If he had still stayed in the Elemental Leyline Camp, he might have become a member of the death list at this moment.

But the emergence of this kind of weapon also gave him a headache. How was he going to fight Qingyuan Town with this kind of weapon? Then what to fight?

Looking at the shaman aside, Meng Da asked in a slightly weak tone.

"Where have the reinforcements arrived so far?"

"Sir, the reinforcements have already passed through the secret passage. The 600,000-strong army is rushing here at full speed and will arrive in three days."

Hearing that reinforcements were about to arrive, Meng Da also breathed a sigh of relief.

The vanguard army had 220,000 people, and the total losses in attacking the cities in the western part of the northern border were less than 10,000 people.

But in the elemental veins of Qingyuan Ridge, nearly 30,000 people had been lost. This kind of record made him feel fear and shame in his heart.

When had the orcs been beaten so hard?

Gudern, the lord of Qingyuan Town, is like the nemesis of their orc clan, always causing them headaches.

"Notify the troops of the Elemental Line to gather and retreat fifty kilometers to avoid any conflict with Qingyuan Town."

Regarding the battle situation of the elemental leylines, Meng Da could only give a helpless follow-up result.

After all, if they stay there any longer, I'm afraid these people will be killed in the next human attack.

It was already embarrassing for him to have an army of 30,000 beaten like this. If he were to be beaten to the point of annihilation, then he would really have no shame to stay in the orc clan.

The elemental orcs were overjoyed when they received the order to retreat. They quickly packed up their equipment and materials and left immediately.

In less than half an hour, all the remaining orcs began to retreat.

In the command room of Qingyuan Town, Gudern was listening to Noros' battle report.

Several rays of light and shadow were projected, and the first scene of the battlefield appeared in front of Gudern.

"Master, Chaofan of the orc clan is not in the camp. He should retreat to other places to rest."

"The power of this weapon was astonishing. After the attack, it was roughly estimated that 17,000 orcs were killed. The remaining orcs also began to retreat in the follow-up. There are no longer any orcs near the elemental leylines."

Hearing this battle situation, Gudern's face was filled with joy.

He also had some idea of ​​the power of the 105 howitzer, but the actual combat effect was even more ferocious than he expected.

This was just a basic blow, but it caused such serious damage to the orc army. It would be impossible to achieve such a result on Blue Star.

However, this attack effect is only effective for the first time. Orcs learn very quickly on the battlefield.

It can be seen from the attack on the war fortress alone that the advantages and disadvantages of firearms were discovered and avoided in the two attacks.

The third attack continued to reduce battle losses and made effective counterattacks.

If there weren't enough reserves in the war fortress, it would have been lost that night.

However, after this attack, the orcs should consider the consequences of their attack on Qingyuan Town more carefully.

"Save these light and shadow records and use them later."

"yes."

Noros then used a special magic weapon to save these recorded lights and shadows, and would take them out when Gudern needed them.

Gudern plans not to disclose the results of this battle to the town residents, after all, the results of the last battle have not yet been digested.

When the results of the last victory are almost digested, take out this victory again, continue to stimulate and maintain continuous stimulation, this is the king of development.

However, hiding the record does not mean that there will be no rewards for the soldiers who participated in the operation. The soldiers who returned received level three meritorious service and material rewards.
