Weird Star Witch
Chapter 676 Highlands
On the 912 high ground, a constitutional army infantry regiment is stationed here.
There is a mountain road at the bottom of the hill, but no one has appeared on this mountain road for a month.
Werewolves will not take this mountain road. Werewolves do not need roads. Hillsides and even cliffs cannot stop them.
This is the third infantry regiment on the 912 high ground. The first two infantry regiments have been eliminated by werewolves. This high ground has changed hands several times and now it is back in the hands of the constitutional army.
The leader Luke turned his head and looked at the sky. The airship in the sky is the source of his courage. The poor terrain of the Luberon Mountains makes it very difficult to transport artillery, and large artillery cannot be pushed up at all. Only airships can carry powerful artillery, and only airships can provide fire support for various high grounds in complex mountains.
Fortunately for the leader, the werewolves and the blood clan are enemies in the wilderness. If the blood clan also attacks Xierba, the advantage of the airship will be greatly reduced.
"Cheer up! In another hour, the airship will deliver food and water to us. By then, the werewolves may launch an attack and interrupt our supply! Only after repelling the next wave of wolves can we have a hot meal."
The infantry regiment's supplies were delivered by airship. Without fortifications, they dared not fight the werewolves in the mountains. That would be courting death.
It would be great if there were cavalry. Luke's infantry regiment was transferred from the Eastern Front. The Unicorn Knights seen on the Eastern Front had extremely strong mobility. That cavalry regiment would definitely be able to defeat the werewolf tribe in mobile warfare.
It's a pity that they are enemies. The noble knights always want to turn everyone into their personal slaves, which makes the citizens who are used to freedom very annoyed.
Luke walked towards the artillery position of the highland stronghold, which was equipped with a level 7 alchemical artillery that could fire level 7 alchemical shells. This main gun was the key to their ability to hold on.
Once a level 7 werewolf tribe appears, this cannon can fire precious level 7 alchemical shells into the center of the werewolf tribe, delaying the attack of the level 7 werewolf tribe.
The sound of the level 7 alchemical cannon is very special. A sound-generating device is designed on the barrel. The hot air waves created by the gunpowder will enter a whistle, making a very sharp sound, proving that they have encountered a level 7 werewolf in their position.
The airship cruising in the rear will come over immediately, and then use the level 7 alchemical rocket on the airship to kill the level 7 werewolf.
Even a level 7 werewolf tribe with 50,000 werewolves cannot withstand the saturation attack of alchemical weapons.
Luke was a little panicked when he saw that there were only the last 3 shells left in this level 7 main gun.
I don’t know if the rear can bear the consumption of this kind of ammunition. The daily output of a medium-sized iron mine can only extract the refined iron needed for a level 7 alchemical shell.
I heard from the logistics department that more than 70% of the factories in the rear have become arsenals, and all arsenals are working in three shifts day and night to manufacture weapons and shells.
After Luke checked the main gun, he came to the place where the werewolves were imprisoned.
The infantry regiment has been keeping a few werewolves, and these were skinny and bony. This is Luke's special way to motivate morale. Luke repeatedly explained to the soldiers not to be afraid of the large number of werewolves. Although the wolf tide is fierce, they also have a fatal problem, that is, supply.
Werewolves need to eat a lot of meat every day. Meat is not like wheat, oats and other grains. Wheat and oats can be grown on a large scale. Alchemists have developed various fertilizers, phosphate fertilizers, nitrogen fertilizers, potash fertilizers, etc., which can increase production. Werewolves' food is meat, and they don't have so much supply at all. The stupid werewolves have occupied the wilderness for thousands of years. There is only simple animal husbandry, which is an industry that only high-level werewolf tribes have. Most werewolves will only attack wild animals like wild beasts.
A level 7 werewolf tribe has 50,000 werewolves. These werewolves need a huge amount of meat every day. Luke deliberately detained skinny werewolves to prove to the soldiers that the werewolves in the wolf tide can't eat enough.
If the wolf tide can't advance as fast as the locust plague, plunder quickly, and kill and prey quickly, a large number of werewolves will fall into hunger and their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
In the early stage, Commander Stein organized several blocking battles and killed two level 8 werewolves in succession. The speed of the wolf tide can no longer be picked up.
Alchemists can become the masters of most of the continent. Although the knights have been restored recently, the United States of Alchemists are the richest, most abundant in resources, and the most powerful countries on the continent.
Luke often jokes with the soldiers that the wolf tide sounds fierce, but in front of the main force of the Constitution Army, it has to stop. They can't move at all. Where can they move?
The frequency of werewolves' attacks decreased because the werewolf tribe had to send a large number of werewolves to hunt for food for the large army. The livestock brought by the werewolf livestock farms were not enough for them to eat.
Captain Luke told his soldiers the operating principles behind these wars, asking them not to despair and not to be scared by tens of thousands of werewolves. As long as they persisted, they could drag down the werewolves. Tens of millions of werewolves would be dragged down sooner or later.
Of course, what Luke did not say was that his infantry regiment had continuously defended three waves of werewolf attacks, so he dared to beautify the war situation with his soldiers.
In fact, many highlands had long been taken away by werewolves, and the front line of the Constitutional Army had been retreating. There were millions of werewolves in the Luberon Mountains. No matter how efficient the weapons of the Constitutional Army were, they could not gain an advantage in the face of so many werewolves.
When the battle line is completely torn apart and these millions of werewolves are scattered in the mountains of the Luberon Mountains, the Constitutional Army will also collapse, and the scattered werewolf tribes of all sizes will instantly defeat all the order in the Luberon region.
Even if they lose two level 8 werewolves, even if hundreds of thousands of werewolves die in the artillery fire of the Constitutional Army, the werewolves are not very anxious. Their werewolves are not worth much. As long as the Luberon region is captured, the number of werewolves will quickly return to its peak.
Luke inspected the wounded tent with a kind smile and told them that the airship would send them to the rear when it came.
After coming out of the tent, Luke ended his morning inspection and walked towards his command tent.
As soon as he entered the command tent, his expression immediately became cold. He persuaded the soldiers with a set of words, and he had another judgment on the trend of the war deep in his heart.
Without the help of the Carolingian Constitutional Army or any other forces, the Luberon region could not be defended.
He closed his eyes in pain, then stood up with all his strength and came to the map on the side, which showed the distribution of troops in the wolf tide and the surrounding highlands.
What Luke didn't know was that there was another person standing next to him, who was also looking up at the map.
