Warhammer: Hail to the Void Lords!

"Sir, the troops of the first front have arrived at the second front. I have sent them to the preset positions."

"Thank you for your hard work, Major." Horatio looked at the battle ahead and asked the front-line observation command post of the second line of defense to sound the full defense alarm.

The soldiers immediately stopped their work. Although the fortifications were still not perfect, they were enough for now and were far more perfect than the first hastily built line of defense.

"Sir, the left front has sent a report that they were attacked by the Chaos rebels."

Horatio immediately turned the telescope and looked at the two independent defense positions on the left wing.

The rebels used armored personnel carriers modified from agricultural machinery to attack the independent defense line. They assembled faster than expected. Obviously, the branch defeated by the greenskins was not important.

The positions that the Chaos rebels faced were carefully arranged by Horatio according to the modern defensive combat manual.

A "gift" for the evil god's lackeys.

"Armored ambush position, open fire!" Facing the aggressive rebels, the commander of the defense line calmly judged the distance between the enemy and the position based on the signs, and decisively gave orders after confirming that they had entered the first firing range.

In an instant, laser cannons from all directions fired dazzling red light at the armor.

But almost at the same time, these powerful high-energy beams were covered by the dazzling laser shooting that suddenly appeared.

The firepower of most lasers was only at the level of light weapons, but several armored vehicles leading the rebels were actually destroyed.

"There! The anti-armor position of the corpse king's lackeys!"

An observer standing on the top of a large agricultural machine operating an anti-aircraft machine gun pointed to a position covered with camouflage nets and shouted.

"And there! They are firing! "Another rebel pointed at a firing 'laser cannon' and shouted.

The rebel instantly turned the muzzle to focus fire on the position.

However, because the fortifications were well constructed, many shells were blocked by sandbags and ceramic steel plates, and did not damage the 'laser cannon' with only the barrel exposed. "

It was still firing.

But the soldiers of the Astra Militarum knew what it was.

This was just a fake position with two parallel laser guns tied to it and extended out of the bunker, which was specially used to deceive and attract enemy fire.

There was only a battalion-level servitor inside, who followed the preset instructions of the regiment's technical priest to operate and shoot, and there were no other living people.

And there were dozens of such fake positions on the defense line where they were, with a wide range of locations, and the locations seemed to be just scientific and reasonable, enough to deceive people into believing it.

Those real laser guns were all under the unified command of specialized officers.

They fired together, and in an instant, a dazzling enough fire was emitted.

The dense lasers that were already spread all over the battle line were dazzling, and the fire in this one was fleeting and difficult to accurately trace.

The rebels called for artillery bombardment on the "anti-armor position" where the armored unit's combat cannon had little damage effect.

Not long after, several 133mm ground-shaking artillery shells landed on the fake position, and the explosion of sufficient equivalent lifted off the camouflage net, destroyed the position, and buried the tied fake guns under the sandbags.

"Anti-artillery divination radar detected enemy artillery fire."

"Parameter reverse calculation is in progress."

"No need, hit back according to my coordinates, quickly! "

Horatio, standing on the highest point of the Light Spear Plain, looked in the direction of the enemy's artillery shells.

Earlier, using the war sand table, he had already identified several locations suitable for building artillery positions on the map.

Now, by comparing the shooting direction with the detected ballistic trajectory.

This officer, who has spent time in the shipboard artillery department since the days of a candidate officer, gave precise artillery orders with unimaginable efficiency.

"Artillery 0.2 base, fire! "

Bang! Bang!

The artillerymen worked in pairs, quickly adjusted the data given by Horatio, and then began a short and fierce volley of fire.

In the rebel artillery unit that was using trucks to tow artillery to change firing positions, a rebel heard an unsettling whistle.

He looked up at the sky, thinking it was just a stray bullet that passed by. They were also from the Astra Militarum, and they used the same anti-artillery radar, so they naturally knew how long it would take for the Astra Militarum to counter the artillery.

All their time intervals and efficiencies for changing positions were based on this.

Those corpse kings could not be faster than this.

But he was wrong. The whistling of the shells became sharper and shorter. As artillerymen, their eyes suddenly widened. Everyone knew what this sound meant. It meant that the shells were getting closer and closer to them and had entered the terminal flight state.

"The shells are coming! "

With a loud shout, the rebel artillerymen who were towing the artillery and following the marching scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions.

Swish! Puff!

Swish!! Puff!!

One after another, the artillery shells fell around them. In order to ensure the killing efficiency, Horatio ordered the 133mm and 180mm earth-shaking cannons to fire at the same time.

The 133mm caliber earth-shaking cannon fired faster, forcing the rebel artillerymen to try to escape from the artillery being transported, suppressing their actions.

Then the 180mm caliber earth-shaking cannon opened fire 30 seconds later, relying on a larger equivalent to ensure the effective destruction of the rebel artillery.

When the heavy shells emitted a death shriek and fell on the convoy in a linear transport posture, some tractor drivers had already jumped out of the car and fled.

Other brave drivers bypassed the front car and stepped on the accelerator while dragging the artillery.

Then a 180mm shell landed near the car body, splashing a piece of mud. The flying shrapnel cut the artilleryman sitting in the car shed into eight pieces. Blood flowed along the driver's seat, flowing in the mud like leaking fuel.

The next shell luckily landed on the ammunition supply vehicle, setting off a violent explosion, followed by dense crackling sounds, like firecrackers during the New Year.

That was the sound of light weapons ammunition fired at high temperature, and the shells that exploded instantly tore the entire car body and nearby personnel apart.

The flying shrapnel penetrated several parts on the gun body. These artillery pieces were either scrapped or suffered various damages that seriously affected their use. At least in the next battle, the rebels can't expect to use these heavy weapons again.

"Captain Sharp, I have a new mission for you." Horatio put down the telescope and said to the captain of the reconnaissance company.

"Please go ahead, sir."

"Next, you need to guide the greenskins to attack to the left, so that we can find a companion for these aliens who want to fight. I think the Chaos rebels attacking our left wing defense line are quite suitable."

"No problem! Sir." Captain Sharp immediately understood the meaning of the naval officer and responded immediately.
