The Origin of Arcane

Although the independent corps is half a standard higher than the ordinary corps, it is still half a chip behind leading a legion alone and adding a general title after the name.

This naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers brought out by Commander Dempsey over the years, and even spontaneously launched a joint letter writing activity.

Head Dempsey himself has no complaints about this. In line with the principle of going wherever it is needed, the petition in the joint petition event was not handed in at all, and he suppressed it by himself.

When he arrived at the Independent Corps, Commander Dempsey knew that it wasn't that the higher-ups didn't value him, on the contrary, it was putting a burden on him.

Artillery is an unprecedented arm, and infantry and artillery coordinated operations will be a regular combat mode after the Yong Ye army leader.

Only by mastering this combat mode flexibly can one become a qualified commander.

If you want to understand this branch, what is more convenient than becoming the head of the independent regiment of this branch?

Therefore, the Independent Corps is more like a stepping board. How high he can jump depends on his achievements here.

With this understanding, Commander Dempsey naturally did his best to study this new type of arms, not only trying to maximize its power, but also pondering, if it cooperates with infantry, how should this battle be? how to fight.

During the training, Commander Demps would inevitably compare the Mortar Independent Corps with the Infantry Artillery Independent Corps.

I have a deeper understanding of the painstaking efforts of my lord and high-level officials.

Compared with the latter, the Mortar Independent Corps has significantly higher physical requirements for soldiers than the Infantry Artillery Independent Corps.

Because the infantry artillery is usually mounted on a vehicle, and the efficiency of using manpower is too low to train a large number of war horses, even the mountain Kentana barbarians with outstanding strength cannot last long.

Mortars are different. Of course, they can be carried by carts and horses on flat ground, but when it comes to mountainous swamps with complex terrain, they need to be carried by people. Therefore, in this corps, the tall and powerful mountain Kentana barbarians ratio is quite high.

Throwing him here obviously wants to use his previous harsh training methods to train him into a second Death Scythe.

This is our artillery's first battle. It is a rare opportunity to collect all kinds of actual combat information on mortars. How could I miss it? This is the meaning of my joining the army. If there is a problem with the mortar on the battlefield, I can still Carry out emergency repairs on the battlefield. Master Baker shook his head again and again, and said resolutely.

Master Baker is one of the twin pillars of the Firearms Bureau, and he is different from Chief Tobias.

Director Tobias is from a purely technical background, specializing in theoretical design. Most of the technical things in the Firearms Bureau are from him.

Master Baker was born in the army. Before the Independent Engineering Corps turned into the Firearms Bureau, he had been specializing in blasting technology. He had personally performed the blasting performance in front of Princess Regent Sophilia, blocking Jiangshan and blasting. He was the front-line commander.

After the Firearms Bureau was established, he changed his job to become a technician, but he still specialized in ammunition, plus actual combat testing.

After the infantry guns and mortars were put into mass production and installed side by side, Master Baker applied to lead a part of the firearms bureau to form a team of engineers accompanying the army, track and record the actual combat conditions, and accumulate basic data for further improvement.

As the first batch of products, limited by the craftsmanship and technology, there are still many problems in it. These problems are obviously not something that can be solved by gunners who have only undergone simple maintenance training. Professionals like Master Baker are also needed.

These tasks can be handed over to other engineers accompanying the army. Why do you need Master Baker to do it yourself? The battle will likely be very tense and hasty, and there will be no time for repairs. Captain Dempsey shook his head vigorously.

After getting along for a few months, he is very clear about the importance of Master Baker to the new arm of artillery. If there is any mistake on the battlefield, he can't bear the responsibility.

I'm also an engineer. I'm no different from them. Don't worry. I know it well. When the time comes, I will protect my life as the top priority. Master Baker obviously knew what Captain Dempsey was worried about.

My lord, look... Seeing that there was no way to convince Master Baker, Captain Dempsey could only turn to his lord for help.

After all, the other party is a seconded technician. Although he is temporarily under his control, it is difficult to issue mandatory orders.

Let him go. After all, he has rich experience in this field. Maybe he can help. Just send someone to watch him, and if necessary, carry him away from the battlefield. Remember, the scope of your operations is limited. You must keep it above 400 meters, you are not allowed to approach without authorization, and you are not allowed to rush in easily. You are only the first line of defense, not the only line of defense. When necessary, abandon the artillery to protect the people. They are the seeds of our artillery. Xiao En finally decided.

Obey. Commander Dempsey took the order, and the lord had spoken, so he had to bite the bullet.

It is certainly a risky move to put technicians on the front line, but doing so will also accelerate the accumulation of experience in this area.

And this time the battle was different from normal battles, to a certain extent, it was a moving target.

After repeated provocations by Xiao En with the Thunder Golden Eagle, the furthest attack range of the Dragon Skeletal Battleship has been roughly measured, which is between 350 meters and 400 meters.

The Type 13 mortar equipped by the Mortar Independent Corps, more accurately, should be the Type 13 medium-sized mortar, which is between portable and towed, and has an effective range of between 100 meters and 2,500 meters.

Efficient does not mean accurate.

According to the various auxiliary technologies currently used by the Yong Ye army leader, the accurate maximum range of the mortar can only reach 1,200 meters. This is still with the cooperation of auxiliary combat skills.

In the middle of the name, a medium is added, naturally for distinction.

According to the ammunition fired and its own weight, mortars can be divided into light, medium and heavy.

According to the way of movement, it can be divided into portable, towed and self-propelled.

The Firearms Bureau currently produces mainly light portable and medium portable weapons.

Among them, the light portable mortar is also known as the guard-level mortar, which is mainly equipped at the guard and squadron level as fire support.

The medium-sized portable is a battalion-level mortar, which mainly provides fire support for the regiment and battalion levels.

A level like the Mortar Independent Corps should use towed heavy mortars as the main combat weapon according to common sense, but it is obviously not suitable for fighting in a relatively complicated environment like the Swamp of Despair, so it is the second best for the time being.

After five or six years of fermentation, most of the flood that flooded the Swamp of Despair has receded, and many mud swamps have dried up and turned into good land.

But don't expect this place to become a flat plain. The rainfall here is still relatively large. Various small rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and blisters are criss-crossed. It is still a water town pattern, such as a small warship like a charge Far better than war horses.

Fortunately, the mortars used by the Mortar Independent Corps are mainly portable, which provides feasibility for interception along the river. If it is towed, it will be troublesome.

Because both sides of the Dalun River are relatively soft half-sand and half-soil, if it is towed, it is quite troublesome to move.

The mortar positions of the Mortar Independent Corps were placed on the south bank of the Darun River, that is, the angle between the Donau River and the Darun River.

The main reason for choosing to place the position here is that after the interception failed, they quickly inserted obliquely, and then arranged a second position on the east bank of the Donau River for a second interception.

When the dragon-skeleton battleship shrouded in black mist approached at a leisurely pace, they set up artillery positions and completed the test firing for nearly half an hour.

The combat target is expected to reach the No. 1 combat area in five minutes!

three minutes!

One minute!

The combat target has entered the No. 1 combat area.

Operation Plan No. 1 is activated, and the first team fires flares!

The reconnaissance cavalry of the Mortar Independent Corps moved with the Dragon Skeleton battleship, and delivered target information to the temporary command post.

Commander Dempsey gave orders in an orderly manner.

Accompanied by a puffing sound, ten mortar shells blasted into the air at the same time with screams.

The reason why the first wave used flares was not because it was night. The sun was just westward at this moment, and it was the best time of day.

This wave of flares was aimed at the black fog circle around the dragon skeleton battleship.

Ever since the Thunderbolt Golden Eagle was discovered, the Dragon Skeleton Battleship has always maintained a circle of black fog with a diameter of more than 100 meters. Its purpose is to cover Xiao En from observing the Dragon Skeleton Battleship, but he did not expect to intercept the artillery of the Yongye Commander. There are natural obstacles.

No one dared to say that the dragon bone battleship must be located in the center of this black mist circle.

Even if it was at the beginning, it may not be the case after feeling the power of the shelling.

Finding a way to crack the black mist area is the kingly way.

The ten flares drew a beautiful parabola and directly hit the very center of the river.

Then there were ten dull, thunderous explosions.

The blinding light erupted from the center of the black mist area, causing people to turn their eyes away involuntarily.

Commander Dempsey and his entourage had been prepared for a long time. They wore sunglasses of the same style as their lord's face, which blocked most of the light, and looked at the direction of the bombardment without blinking.

The first round of shelling was even better than expected.

Six of them hit the target directly, and the remaining four deviated from the target by no more than ten meters.

Such a high hit rate is naturally due to surprise, which is related to setting the budget in advance.

The guy who claimed to be the God of Death didn't have the supernatural powers of a real god, and he could predict that the Eternal Night Army Leader possessed this brand-new weapon, so the Dragon Skeleton Battleship was not playing tricks at all, and it was located in the very center of the black mist area.

And now he is walking on the Dalun River again, in order to increase his speed, he is still walking in the deepest water.

With this series of limiting factors, if the First Artillery Regiment led by Commander Dempsey fails to hit the target, it will be a shame.

The power of flares is also beyond imagination.

The flares they used were not flares in the ordinary sense, they should be more accurately called light attribute spell shells.

The black mist wrapped around the Dragon Skeleton Battleship is not fog in the ordinary sense, but the energy of death spells. It is a lighting substance in the ordinary sense. When facing it, the effect may be unsatisfactory.

To deal with spell energy, spell energy is the most suitable.

In fact, the commander of the Yongye Army held not one kind of spell shells, but seven kinds.

Needless to say, the six types correspond to six elements, namely illumination bombs, black field bombs, incendiary bombs, freezing bombs, earthquake bombs, and tearing bombs, as well as a pulse bomb made of a mixture of the six elements.

Looking at their names, you can basically know their corresponding attributes.

Flares correspond to the light attribute. After the explosion, the scattered light attribute magic energy will last for a long time, thus having the auxiliary effect of lighting.

The black field bomb corresponds to the dark attribute. The dark attribute magic energy inside has the same effect as the death magic energy. It can form a dark area that shields sight and perception. The coverage area and duration are related to the magic energy contained in it.

Incendiary bombs, corresponding to the fire attribute, will have a combustion-supporting effect. Regardless of whether you are organic or inorganic, you will fall into violent combustion until the magical energy contained in it dissipates to a certain extent.

Frozen bombs correspond to water attributes, highly condensed water elements, and are not pure water elements. When released instantly, they will absorb the surrounding energy, thus producing a freezing effect.

Seismic bombs, corresponding to the soil attribute, have a similar principle to water elements. They can vibrate with the ground, and then produce shock waves. This kind of shells is the best choice for destroying city walls and tall buildings, starting directly from the foundation.

The tearing bomb corresponds to the wind attribute. The principle should not be difficult to understand. Once it explodes, countless wind elements will shoot out at high speed, which is an invisible knife. If the distance is close enough, even steel will be torn, let alone human body.

The pulse bomb is composed of six mixed elements. The explosive power of this kind of shell should be considered the greatest, and it will form a powerful pulse, hence the name, but the elements inside are too mixed, and it has a little bit of any effect, and nothing. Strong, but not as characteristic as the first six types of bullets.

The choice of flares for beginners is naturally based on the principle of mutual restraint of attributes.

The six elements generate and restrain each other, which is true in most cases.

At least when light elements and dark elements meet, they will have a neutralizing effect on each other.

That is to say, if a black field bullet is fired in front, a black field has just formed, and a flare bomb is dropped from the back, which will directly offset the black field, so there is nothing wrong with it.

This is not a theory, but has been verified by Yong Ye's army leader.

Although the magic energy of death is magical, and even qualified to be called the seventh element, it is still the energy of magic at root, especially the dark element is the main tone, and the flare is the most likely to restrain it.

Whether it is from the perspective of lighting or neutralization, flares are the best choice.

The test results proved the correctness of their guess.

The flares exploded in the black mist area, and the light elements rampaged. Even at a distance of nearly a thousand meters, it seemed that the two elements could be neutralized, and then one after another, rich or faint figures jumped out of it. came out, crying out in pain.

Those are the souls who were once imprisoned in the magic energy, and the magic energy with a single attribute is burning them.

However, they seem to hate the black mist that imprisoned them even more, and in turn tear the energy in the black mist.

Every time a part of energy is torn from the black mist, their bodies will become thicker and their strength will become stronger.

But more, because the body is too thin, once it is exposed, it will not survive for a few seconds before it completely dissipates.

Compared with this unique effect, the explosion effect brought by the direct bombardment of the dragon skeleton battleship is not enough.

Humble maggots, how dare you attack the great god of death, you are fighting against death, I want to kill you all! Kill you all! The face of the black mist appeared again, roaring frantically towards the First Artillery Corps. The positions came.

My God, is that still a dragon skeleton battleship? Why are they all made of bones?

Could it be that what we just saw is a soul? This black mist is completely composed of dead souls?

Is this guy really the god of death? Can we defeat death?

No, this guy is about to rush over, what should I do? What should I do? Do you want to run away?

No chaos, everyone, stick to your posts, and those who leave without authorization will be dealt with by military law.

Don't be scared by this guy, this guy is just bluffing, there is no way for him to hurt us.

If he is really the god of death, we would have hurt him just now, and everyone will proceed as planned.

Do you still remember the name of our battle plan this time? Tushen, even if he is really a god, we will kill him, Tushen!

Slayer God!

Slayer God!

Slayer God!
