Chapter 74: Battle of Marica

"Boom! Bang!" Facing the rushing dragon, a 30mm dual-purpose gun with a caliber of anti-aircraft gun fired. The slender barrel spit out flames, causing the cannonball to rush towards its target.

The diving dragon felt danger. It wanted to avoid the oncoming object sideways, but found that there seemed to be more than one object. In just an instant, it felt that it had been hit by a huge impact.

"Roar!" This ancient and powerful creature let out a scream, and then began to descend rapidly. A few tens of meters away from the city wall, the giant beast hit the ground head-on, splashing a piece of dust.

"What's a joke?" Ildo, who had accelerated and swooped down, saw his own subordinates shot down with his eyes widened. The battle had just begun. How could he be shot down by a dragon?

In the previous battle, he also checked the dragon's wounds. The opponent's weapon can smash the dragon scales, which is already very difficult. Although the dragon looked bloody, he didn't receive any fatal injuries. After all, these ancient creatures are amazingly powerful in defense, and they are not so easy to kill.

The wounded dragon just happened to be hit by a bullet in the eye, and then it fell from a high altitude. So for the defense of the dragon, Eldor is still very confident. He feels that his troops can still play a separate role, which is the theoretical basis for his offensive.

But now, these mortals actually have a way to kill the dragon so quickly. Doesn't that mean that the dragon knight, the army that has been crushing the mortals, no longer has the advantage from this moment?

You know, the dragon knights have been a very powerful super unit from the moment they were born: they can move quickly, have the ability to avoid war against the sky, and can attack from a long distance, and have terrible destructive power to the city and the army. .

In the face of such troops, mortals lack effective means of coping. Assembling troops to prepare a large number of heavy weapons can easily be bypassed by the dragon knights and attack the city frontally. If you don't assemble an army to fight, then the dragon knight can use the speed advantage to defeat each one.

What is regrettable is that this situation seems to have been broken now, and the opponent has a powerful weapon that can attack the air, something more powerful than a single-shot ballista! After all, although the ballista is also very dangerous, the rate of fire of that thing is very slow, and aiming becomes the biggest problem.

It is impossible to fire continuously. Every time, the shooter needs to measure ahead and fire. This accuracy of hit is very touching. As long as one misses, the dragon has time to attack. This is why mortals face the dragon. , Then the root cause of passiveness.

Now, what **** weapon is installed on the walls of these mortals, and it can even destroy a dragon with one attack? Ildo, who was full of questions in his head, was just a daze, and rushed to a place not far from the city wall.

"Tutu! Tutu!" The Maxine heavy machine gun covering the anti-aircraft gun fired. The Maxine heavy machine gun mounted on a tripod also has a very high elevation angle. When facing a giant dragon, the continuous combat capability of this weapon is shown. The incisive and vivid.

A row of dense bullets crashed into a dragon that was ready to attack, and the dense bullets shattered the scales on the dragon's abdomen like a storm. Under the pain, the dragon began to flap its wings and climb, and was forced to give up the opportunity to attack.

"Tutu! Tutu!" Next to the heavy machine gun that kept spitting flames, the commander raised his head with his binoculars, looked at the hideous enemies, and said loudly: "Keep firing! Don't let those **** guys approach the wall! "

"Bah!" On the city wall, hundreds of Ailan Hill grenadiers were also holding their rifles and firing desperately at the terrifying dragons in the sky. They know that this is their only hope for survival.

"Huh!" A giant dragon finally found the gap in firepower, and whizzed down from a high altitude, spraying a huge flame at the Ailan Hill grenadiers on the city wall. In an instant, this section of the city wall was covered by burning flames, and the soldiers on it were also submerged in a sea of ​​flames.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The anti-aircraft gun at the other end opened fire, and the huge shells flew into the sky, shattering the armor of the dragon, and digging into the dragon's flesh and blood. Its remaining power remained undiminished, shredded the dragon's muscles, shattered the dragon's internal organs, and penetrated the entire body of the dragon.

The dragon that was still breathing flames on the city wall suddenly lost its power, and its two fleshy wings struggled weakly in the sky, and its entire body fell from the sky and hit the city head that was still burning with raging fire.

Just one dragon's breath caused about a row of dozens of soldiers on the front of the city to be turned into ashes. Such an attack made all the soldiers on the front of the city burst into flames. There is only one thought in their hearts: they can't let these **** guys get any chance to breathe fire.

Standing by the window, Bourgeois saw the flame falling from the sky. It was the first time he saw such a terrible attack, and it happened in front of his eyes. He had only read similar descriptions in books before, and his words were full of despair and sadness.

Now that he saw this kind of irresistible attack by humans, Bourgeois finally understood where the despair deepened in his bones came from. After facing such an impossible opponent countless times, the humbleness of mortals has become a matter of course.

Just when he prayed that his troops would not give the opponent any chance, another group of flames poured down and hit the city wall, leaving behind a thick smoke and an endless wall of fire.

"Damn! Open fire! Hit those bastards!" Behind him, an officer clenched his fists, as if he wanted to use his own thoughts to encourage the soldiers on the wall not to back down and continue fighting.

"We don't need us here anymore! Come with me!" Feeling that he should do something, pressing the long sword around his waist, Bourgeois finally made up his mind and turned around to get out of his command post.

His adjutant blocked the door, blocking his chief officer and said, "You can't make any difference if you go there, you should stay here and command the overall situation!"

"Get out of the way! I must let my soldiers see me! I want to stand with them!" Bourgeois pushed aside his men, walked out of the room and down the long stairs. All the officers around him followed out of the command post, and followed his chief officer to ascend to the distant city.

There, the anti-aircraft gun was leaning back on the barrel, defending the city behind him, but a giant dragon dashed through the firepower net and flew over the city. It passed from one side of the city and flew to the other side of the city, leaving a long line of flames wherever it passed, and all the houses passing by were destroyed.

But it didn't arrogant for too long, because on the other side of the city, the anti-aircraft guns that had been standing there immediately opened fire, welcoming the dragon that had crossed the city with a fire net. After struggling for a few seconds, the dragon fell into the city, and after crashing into a house, it turned into a corpse.

"If you continue to fight like this... you may lose..." Seeing that the opponent's firepower net had killed 5 dragons, Ildo finally realized the seriousness of the problem. Although he successfully destroyed a threatening anti-aircraft gun, there was no way to reverse the overall situation.

There are more than a dozen such anti-aircraft gun positions, distributed on the city wall, with heavy machine guns and heavy protection from infantry. It is very difficult to destroy one, not to mention there are more than a dozen such threats.

Although the huge defensive area scattered these **** anti-aircraft guns, but because there are countless dense rifles and machine gun bullets, it is very dangerous for the dragon to get close to the city and destroy it.

More dragon knights must be gathered! The situation in front of him is no longer something he can handle as a knight commander. At least a big knight commander is needed, or wait for General Moss to catch up?

For the first time, Ildo had the idea of ​​waiting for reinforcements. This idea made him shudder, because he was facing a mortal army, an army of mortals that he had dismissed before.

"Bang! Bang!" Another anti-aircraft gun was filled with ammunition and began to pour its ammunition toward the dragon in the sky. The dense ammunition pierced the air and hit a dragon that was hovering in search of opportunities, directly knocking down the dragon.

Over time, those anti-aircraft gun shooters gradually mastered some rules. Their shooting became more precise, and the dragon knight’s losses began to surge. The dragon knights under Ildo had four teams of 20 people. Now after some battle, there are only less than ten dragons left to fight.

Because when he attacked the 1st Battalion of the 16th Regiment, he also lost a few dragon knights, but those dragon knights were injured and unable to continue participating in the battle, which was better than the dragon knights who were directly shot down.

The dragon knights who lost in front of them were all really lost, especially the hapless guy who fell in the city, even if he was still alive, there was no possibility of rescue.

Soon, the seventh dragon was screamed and fell from the sky screaming. The entire dragon knight army lost the courage to attack. They even gave up when they approached and circled, soaring in the farther sky one by one. But for a long time he was reluctant to leave.

This was their first defeat in a mortal country since their birth. After heavy losses, they did not even destroy the city in front of them. Ildo was unwilling to order the retreat, but there was no good way, he could only grit his teeth and figure out the next plan in the sky.
