Chapter 542 Minefield and Giant Beast

"Phew, it exploded beautifully!"

Gao Yu and Li Xiang stood on the broken city wall, cheering as they watched the fire rising from the ground engulf the giant beast coming out of the inner city.

The targeted high explosives crushed limbs, the bursting fragments harvested the infantry accompanying the behemoth, and the smoke and explosions cleared a vacuum area on the battlefield.

Set the time back one hour.

The Eastern Allied Forces have a sufficient supply of explosives, and they can naturally choose a method that suits them to fight against the giant beast.

Use a small force of troops to lure the enemy's giant beasts out to a predetermined location, and then use a large amount of explosives buried underground to send the enemy's giant beast units into the sky at once.

A very simple tactic to lure the enemy deep.

But when the Eastern Allied Forces were still planning whether to sell two mortars to lure the giant beasts on the opposite side, after all, fishing had to pay a price, and they had already made plans to sacrifice two mortar positions.

If half of the behemoths can be annihilated, the Eastern Allied Forces will be confident that they can take down this frontline fortress of the Western defense line with the behemoths, heavy firepower, and massive amounts of explosives at their disposal.

As the fulcrum of their attack... they must have a fulcrum to continue the offensive inward, otherwise they will die if their logistics are cut off.

The great knight of the Goliath Knights directly ordered his twenty-one behemoths to attack.

The lords of the Eastern Allied Forces were shocked. How many giant beasts there were in this group gave them the courage to charge towards the camp of an unidentified army.

Then they pressed the remote trigger without mercy.

Although most of the lords in the Goliath Knights are lower-level behemoths such as Cyclops, it is difficult to maintain the existence of more than three behemoths based on the size of their town.

The Grand Knights of the Goliath Knights maintain an average of three behemoths each.

First, it is difficult to participate in the production of this kind of thing. For the same resource investment, conventional troops and monster infantry are obviously more cost-effective.

The second is that maintaining this kind of thing requires a variety of rare resources. The part that does not require rare resources can make a lord poor if he eats enough food every day.

But behemoths also have their unique advantages in the low era... that is, they can be completely crushed against armies without heavy artillery.

The only thing they are afraid of is heavy artillery, if the opponent is not equipped with heavy artillery.

It would be a one-sided massacre.

In a sense, the Behemoth is the Land Cruiser of the early era, with astonishingly thick armor strength, astonishingly high HP, and equally high maintenance costs.

Even the lowest level Cyclops can resist rune crossbows, and only siege bed crossbows can cause effective damage.

The eras in which behemoths are relatively strong on the battlefield are only the middle and high eras. They cannot be raised in low eras and are not needed in high eras.

After gradually entering the sixth era, which represents the high age, only some behemoths are left useful. Most of these behemoths have their own unique advantages compared to conventional troops... For example, they can fly, the maintenance cost is low enough, and they can be carried Troops or weapons advance.

Yes, there are also some giant beasts that are existences like cloud whales that can play their role in non-combat aspects.

But that won't be on the battlefield.

In the sixth era, battalion-level units can possess very effective heavy firepower.

If you encounter a civilized army that uses energy as its main form of damage, the behemoth units can still resist for a while. They can rely on their skin to disperse part of the energy damage.

If it is a technological civilization that uses kinetic explosives as its main damage...then it would be too ugly to fight.

By chance, the Eastern Alliance obtained enough explosives, one thousand tons, with the help of unknown aiders.

Monster infantry also has the advantages of fast movement and relatively small targets. It has its own advantage range in small-scale and large-scale battles.

A heavily armed squad of riflemen would not want to see a strong monster rushing out of a building in a street fight. It only takes a short charge to take away half of the squad of riflemen.

The land behemoth unit can be said to be a pure target. The sky behemoth is much more useful as an air unit than the land behemoth, which is a shameful thing.

However, no one has a method to cultivate the giant beast in the sky.

At least there are not many of them now, and some of the lords are not in this world for the time being.

Let’s get back to the topic.

If 500 grams is a landmine and 50 kilograms is a mine, then 500 kilograms and 5,000 kilograms are naturally landmines.

The Eastern Allied Forces naturally have more than just mines, and it would be beneficial and harmless to make more plans.

The flying troops located in the outer city took off. The Winged Dragon Cavalry, Eagle Cavalry, Pegasus Cavalry and other flying troops were flapping their wings to leave the ground.

Their bodies are covered with explosives just like the corpse cavalry that blasted through walls, making them the 'bombers' of the early era.

The target of the flying unit is the incapacitated ground troops that were blown up by the minefield, no matter what kind of Cyclops it is, what kind of suture monster it is, what kind of ground chimera it is.

The rounds of explosive bombing can definitely send these behemoth units, which boast of their thick blood, back to the rebirth array. Dozens of kilograms of explosive packs are dropped on the behemoth for free, peeling off its flesh and blood.

The flying cavalry, which is loaded with explosives, can carry the ignited explosive package when necessary and turn itself into the last bullet to attack the enemy position.

Really, wetware missiles.

"Originally, we were going to deliver these explosive packs by diving together, using highly mobile flying units to exchange with the opposing behemoth units, but the minefield tactics were so successful."

Otherwise, we might not even be able to break through the interception firepower network of the opposing crossbowmen.

The flying speed is not fast, and the flying units with a relatively single route are not good at fighting against the crossbowmen in array.

Li Xiang looked at the minefield. The crossbowmen of the Goliath Knights who were escorting the army had all died of bleeding in the explosion just now. When the minefield was detonated, they were sent to the sky in groups by the overpressure of the shock wave.

A large amount of 500 kilograms of buried explosives, and at least dozens of tons of explosives were buried in the minefield that greeted them.

If it weren't for the tight time, the lord of the eastern defense line would even plan to stuff 100 tons of explosives into it, and gather 100 kilograms of explosives to send the attacking army to the sky.

As a greeting gift, sufficient explosives are their respect for the Goliath Knights.

Very respectful.

The behemoth fell.

The Eastern Alliance gained a huge advantage in the conventional battle with the three corrupted Leviathans that accompanied them. The Goliath Knights, who had no heavy firepower, had no way to deal with the behemoth troops sent to the battlefield from the East.

At sunrise, the Eastern Alliance planted the flag on the top of the Goliath Knights' bastion.

It announced that this knightly order guarding the border no longer existed at this moment, and the production area of ​​the Western Defense Line was wide open to them.
