Magic Tower Starry Sky

Faye, those who can hang a golden thread are not ordinary characters. It is easy to overcome obstacles all the way. Such characters, expecting them to be instigated by noble officers like big soldiers, would really be thinking too much.

Therefore, as long as the daily drills meet the standards and there are no violations of military discipline, the officers and nobles serving as captains will turn a blind eye and close their eyes. It is even more impossible to spur a whole ship of magicians, requiring them to be 100% vigilant all the time, as if they were in a state of war. Those military officers and nobles can't do it themselves!

That's why, when there are strange noises, the whole ship seems to be unconscious.

Zhanjian Dao is essentially just a chainsaw, at most, the material of the sawtooth is very special. Using dragon scales as the sawtooth, coupled with high-speed operation, it can be said that if it is purely a comparison of the hardness of the material, even if it is a magic material, there is no sword that cannot be sawed.

The magic shield can last for a while, but only for a while. The dragon scale itself has magic properties, in short, it has the characteristics of breaking magic and magic resistance. The low-level magic shield is similar to that of Paper Lake, and the high-level magic shield can last for a while.

Since it's a chainsaw, it takes some time to saw something. In the past, the Zhanjian Saber had the performance of cutting iron like mud, purely because the target was too weak to withstand the high-speed cutting of dragon scales and serrations, so it was able to slash through it time and time again.

But if the target is changed to the most important and strongest part of the entire airship—the keel of the hull, what will be the result?

Just spend some more time. Once again, there is no tangible substance in Midi, which cannot be cut with a sword.

So Princess Konuozhun's dragoon troops, led by her confidant, Dragon Knight Mangado, flew under the five airships while the fog was thick. They would choose this location instead of launching an attack from the upper deck or the side hull. One of the reasons is that the airship directly below is a blind spot for observation, which is good for them to cause trouble and delay the time of discovery.

The dragoons of the three squadrons did not carry the traditional weapon - the dragon gun, but the ship-chopping knife, which was not long enough to attack.

The Dragon Spear is good for diving attacks, and with the addition of speed, it has impressive power. However, the tactics and tactics that can be applied to the sword of insufficient length are very different from the tradition of dragoons. So everyone felt uneasy, and followed the order, and took their positions.

Ten to thirty flying dragons gathered under each airship. Their sharp claws failed to grab the hull of the airship, but they could barely cling to the hull. Once the body was fixed, everyone activated the ship-cutting knife one after another regardless of how twisted their posture was or how hard it was to apply force when hanging upside down, and chopped at the hull of the airship with one knife.

Those who can cut the keel of the airship will cut the keel, and those who can't squeeze the space will start elsewhere. In short, as long as it can be hung on the hull of the airship, no one is idle.

The reason why not all of them go together is because the airship's shell is not that big. In addition, they deliberately avoided the position where the magician in the boat could launch a magic attack, and only picked the dead corner to attack, so there were a lot of dragoons flying under the airship, ready to replace the empty space at any time.

The solid airship hull is not enough to withstand the cutting of the ship cutter. However, compared with the hull of the airship, the damage caused by the Zhanjian Saber cannot be said to be insignificant, nor is it an immediate fatal damage. At least the dragoons opened several gaps in the airship, but the people inside still didn't notice it.

Even though these injuries did not bring immediate harm to the airship, it still partially reduced the performance of the airship. The formation of five airships also slowed down and broke away from the formation; there were also abnormally reduced heights or abnormal tilts. But these changes are slow, and the occupants in it will not feel it for a while.

But Mangado's dragoons were still discovered. Because with time, the fog that condensed in the early morning gradually dissipated, and the observers on the airship that was lowered in height saw densely packed flying dragons hanging upside down directly below the other airships in the formation, and dozens of them followed. Fly; and there are people riding on the flying dragon.

Seeing this scene, how could the airship corps, as an old opponent, not know who the other party was. Immediately, the alarm bell rang throughout the ship, and even passed to the other four airships.

It didn't take long to confirm the cause of the alarm. As long as you are not blind, you can see that the dragoons of the Karlsruhe Empire are doing trouble. The captain of the airship whose height was lowered also reasonably guessed that there was such a group under his own airship. It's just that the dragoons were hiding in the blind spot of the magicians' vision, so they didn't find out in advance.

As two parties in a state of war, there is no need for warning to start a fight. The magician troop stood on the side, and it was a series of magic attacks directly, such as wind blades, fireballs, ice picks, whatever they are good at using, and the most important thing is to drive away the group of flies under the colleagues first! When they free their hands, they can naturally rescue themselves.

However, Mangado did not hesitate. As soon as he was discovered, he dragged the person and ran away without looking back. Maybe the flying dragon is not strong enough to hit the airship like a fortress in the sky, but if it really wants to run, it can't catch up with the speed of a traditional airship. So except for a few unlucky ones who suffered a few spells and were wounded, the three dragoon squadrons all fled back to the Karlsruhe Empire's garrison.

This aerial encounter, of course, fell into the eyes of front-line observers. However, due to the long distance, although I saw the battle situation, I didn't see many details.

At first, everyone only thought that this battle was like a dragoon running over to say hello to the airship, with no real results. At least the dragoons didn't have to sacrifice too much, which was the only lucky result.

But as time passed, the observers hiding in the front line and staring closely at Jietianguan Fortress felt something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, the airship transporting supplies will leave after handing over the cargo. At most, it will take some more time to wait for some personnel to change defenses, or the wounded who are about to retreat to board the boat. But they will all leave the ground before dark and embark on the return journey.

However, after the five airships landed this time, they were not seen flying again. In such a situation, of course, report to the general of the headquarters immediately.

All of a sudden, the entire plain of Oz and the garrison manor in Karlsruhe moved, because they wanted to prevent airships from joining the local battle! Ground troops confronting airships is a purely beaten situation. What we can do is to minimize the loss of personnel and property.

During this process, of course, some people were dissatisfied with the dragoon team brought by Queen Kono to tease the opposite airship formation. Even through the forum, the things here were conveyed to the rear of the empire as soon as possible.

There are many political implications for doing so. Those who regarded Keno as an enemy were relieved, while those who examined whether the imperial daughter was worthy of support flinched one after another. They may not have explicitly expressed their intention to refuse, but they still retracted the hand that was about to extend the olive branch calmly, and at most they said a few more beautiful words.

But one day, two days, three days passed, and it was not until the second wave of airship formation arrived that Karlsruhe noticed the abnormality this time, which was different from the past.

This day's replenishment airship formation did not arrive in the early morning, and it was not the usual five formations, but increased to eight airships, which were the latest models. Instead of forming horizontally, they split into two groups, one high and one low. And after completing the transportation task, also leave before dark. Eight ships came, and eight ships left.

What about the original five?

The Plains of Oz is a battlefield, and of course the two warring parties have spies arranged for each other. The Karlsruhe Empire immediately launched its hidden spies to collect information about airships.

And after they paid the price of exposing several hidden personnel, they finally brought out a sentence: The five airships were severely damaged and could not continue the mission.

Although Midi doesn't have a modern army like Earth's, and a detailed combat report is required for a mission, the three dragoon squadrons in Mangado have informed the generals in charge of the Oz Plain theater about the battle process. And their first thought is disbelief.

According to what the dragoons said, they cut off the keels of the five airships with the ship cutter, and made varying degrees of damage to the hull below the hull. But no one but their own could attest to such a victory; and it was impossible to judge what strategic advantage such a victory would bring.

What's the use of killing someone? It is only useful if people are killed or maimed!

In the same way, is it useful to cut a few holes in the shell of the airship? Either way, blow it up, capture it, or kill everyone on board!

This is the original idea of ​​the generals in charge.

But when the airship was severely damaged and the information that it could not continue to fly was sent back, they realized the value of the dragoons equipped with ship-chopping knives.

Originally, their method of dealing with the airship~www.wuxiamtl.com~ was to send flying troops to forcefully board the ship, and then rely on soldiers to fight inside the airship. Only by killing the opponent's magician, or invading to the bottom layer and destroying the airship's floating device, can an airship be destroyed.

And what is the battle loss ratio in the middle? According to the past battles of the Karlsruhe Empire, it usually takes one or two flying brigades to destroy an airship. That is to say, in the worst case, it takes 2,000 people plus flying mounts to exchange for an airship and add 100 people.

The cause of such a disparity in battle damage ratio is, in the final analysis, because the flying troops do not have a powerful enough attack method to destroy the flying fortress in the air—the airship. Since it is a fortress, the combatants have no way of destroying the buildings. If they want to win, they have to find a way to kill the people inside.

And because if you want to attack and board the ship, you have to escape the bombardment of the magician first, and the internal passage of the airship itself is not an open terrain, so the battle in many places can only be advanced by killing people. Under various unfavorable factors, every time an airship is defeated, it can only be done at a great price.

What if today there was a way to directly attack the airship itself, which is equivalent to a fortress, without having to fight the boarding battle? There is bound to be a major reshuffle of the combat advantages and disadvantages of the two parties. Everyone has to think of new tactics, to adapt to new weapons, and to deal with the tactics developed by new weapons.
