Chapter 549 [God’s Punishment]

If you don't take what God gives you, you will be punished by God.

This is Du Wei's point of view. Of course, this is not due to so-called superstition, but Du Wei believes that opportunities only come to those who are prepared, and this kind of God-given opportunity, pie-in-the-sky opportunity, will never appear often. If you lose it,

I took this opportunity and wanted to wait until the next time, but I didn’t know that I would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

Moreover, in the official document, Du Wei wrote very clearly: "As a new type of army, the Air Force is still extremely incomplete in terms of absolute lethality. Its role in war is more to cause panic and disturbance to the enemy.

Using a completely unfamiliar air strike method, the enemy is plunged into chaos. But this confusion is caused by the enemy's ignorance of the air force. Once this new type of army is put into use many times, it can no longer give the enemy a psychological impact.

A blow! This air strike can also cause chaos in the enemy's camp. Next time they will get used to it and won't be so scared!"

In the official document, Du Wei even spared no effort to repeat all the tactics of the Air Force that he knew. In fact, Du Wei knew very well that although he scolded Rostock for missing the fighter plane, in the final analysis, the old general could not be blamed for this.

.

The only strange thing is that in this world, things like the air force are too advanced. Rostock has been able to command the Storm Legion for many years. This man is definitely not a fool. Moreover, he is also a good friend of his father, the late old Count Raymond. With his father

To be qualified to be friends with his father, old Rostock definitely has two skills.

The problem is that most of the imperial generals of this era have never fought in a war!

The most elite Storm Legion in the empire can still retain a certain degree of combat effectiveness because they guard the border in the north all year round. Occasionally, they will destroy some magical beasts, or have small-scale battles with small groups of mercenary groups who are smuggling and poaching.

The soldiers of the Storm Legion have seen some blood, and their quality is relatively higher than other armies within the empire.

Moreover, some of the generals of the Storm Legion, from old Rostock on down, had participated in the empire's last war on the grasslands thirty years ago, but this was their only actual combat experience.

If there is no fighting for a long time, even the best generals, no matter how sensitive their sense of smell is, will gradually become useless, lose their grasp of fighting opportunities, and become mediocre and conservative.

What's more, Rostock has never seen the Air Force, let alone used the Air Force! Although this general has some experience in leading troops, he does not understand the Air Force at all and no one understands this era. From a conservative point of view, he will not be able to fight in the first battle.

The willingness to risk sending ground troops for a frontal assault at night was based on distrust of the combat effectiveness of the air force. He needed a test to determine whether the air force was worth the risk of sending cavalry.

As a result... such a good opportunity was lost.

Duwei also knew that Rostock could not be blamed for this.

However, he still chose to write a letter to openly censure the commander of the north. At the same time, he also knew that he would write a letter to attack the commander of the Storm Legion. At the same time, this guy was also a good friend of his father. This approach itself would definitely offend people easily.

But Du Wei had no choice! He had to do this! Du Wei, who had guessed Rostock's thoughts, was worried that the old general would still not pay attention to the air force in future wars. Then he had finally spent a lot of money to build the air force.

This super-era army was completely wasted!

Since he went to the front line in person last time and talked to him, but he didn't listen. So Du Wei had no choice but to write a letter directly to the regent! Then from top to bottom, he put pressure on Rostock and forced this conservative old man.

General, pay attention to the air force!

This is also a last resort.

In Du Wei's opinion, such a good opportunity would be difficult to come across again unless he was of outstanding character.

What a pity... what a pity...

Unfortunately, Du Wei's guess came true!

Missing a good opportunity will indeed be punished by God.

After missing that opportunity, it seemed as if all the character that the imperial army had accumulated for a long time was used up in one fell swoop! Luck seemed to be gradually leaving the human army...

September.

According to the time of year in the Roland Empire, this time is autumn.

But at the Kaspersky Defense Line in the north of the mainland, the climate here should be colder. According to previous records, frost will begin to fall in the south of the frozen forest after October every year. Occasionally in particularly cold years,

It will even start to snow at the end of October.

But this year...it seems that even God has finally begun to take revenge on mankind!

"It's strange. The weather this year doesn't seem to be as cold as in previous years."

Standing on the city wall, Reuenthar completed the last strict inspection as usual, then climbed up the tower and looked at the orc army camp from a distance.

After the night of the air raid, the orcs had not attacked again for many days. However, these days, the orc armies have been dispatched everywhere, cutting down a large number of trees and rebuilding the camps that were damaged in the air raid.

After repairing for many days, it seemed that the battle situation had become so stalemate.

It's already October, and the army has distributed cotton-padded clothes for the winter... But now, on the city wall, most of the soldiers are still wearing autumn clothes... It's not for any other reason, but because today's winter seems to have come extraordinarily late.

It was obviously already October, but in the past, in this place in the north, the cold and biting north wind would have been blowing day and night! The soldiers had also put on thick fur coats long ago.

But now, instead of cooling down, the weather has become slightly humid and hot... This is simply incredible!

The soldiers threw all the winter clothes distributed in the barracks. In the army, which had already prepared for the winter, the food reserves for the winter were also completed. And the baggage team behind them even prepared frost prevention work in advance.

It's done...but the weather doesn't seem to be getting colder at all!

stuffy!

Very boring!

The clouds in the sky seem to be getting thicker day by day. Standing on the city wall, looking up at the sky, it seems that you can see the thick clouds in the sky, almost pressing down on people's heads!

Such thick clouds... is it going to snow??

But it's not cold today. It doesn't look like it's going to snow... In previous years, there would be strong winds for many days before it snowed. This year...

The slight cool breeze blows on the body, which is very comfortable. How can it feel cold?

Reuenthar felt vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. He could only urge the soldiers to prepare for all battles. The engineering team also came up to repair the damaged parts of the city wall in the previous battle. At the same time, a large number of

The lost arrows and weapons were also mobilized by the logistics quartermaster.

Finally, that night, when it was getting dark, the wind started blowing!!

After strong winds came up, Reuenthar on the city wall felt relieved for the first time... It seemed like it was going to snow! Snow would be great! It would be nice to freeze to death the monsters camping in the open air!

However, after the wind blew for a while, Reuenthal immediately felt that something was wrong!

Why? This wind direction... doesn’t seem to be northerly?!

Standing in the wind, Reuenthar couldn't help but look up at the flag flying on top of the city. The direction in which the flag was flying... Reuenthal's eyes widened!

Damn it!!

South wind! The wind is actually blowing from the south!!!???

Before it was completely dark, the sky was already covered with dark clouds! Then there was a thunder and a crack, and the first lightning in the clouds illuminated the sky and the earth!

Then there were dense thunders and electric currents rolled through the clouds.

"Damn it... I've never seen thunder in winter." The soldiers on the city wall raised their heads and looked up at the sky curiously.

The clouds seem to be gathering thicker and thicker. The pressure is getting lower and lower...

Finally, after the first flash of lightning, amidst the thunder, suddenly, raindrops as big as soybeans fell all over the sky!!

Then, curtains of rain fell from the sky one after another, pouring down to the earth like pouring water!!

The raindrops are getting denser and denser, falling on the soldiers' armor, making a clear and melodious tinkling sound. From a distance, it seems that there is a thick curtain between the sky and the earth, and everything becomes

So gray.

The heavy rain quickly lost sight of people and wiped their eyes hard, but the rain still kept falling. The water vapor was so thick that it was almost impossible to open your eyes!

What a heavy rain!!!!

"It's raining? It's actually...it's raining?!" Reuenthar's eyes widened and he murmured a few words in a low voice. Then, his expression suddenly changed!

not good!!!

It rained heavily all night long. Throughout the night, there was thunder one after another and lightning flashes without stopping!

All the soldiers on the city wall were soaked, and many soldiers fell ill the next day after being exposed to the rain. Later, under the orders of the officers, the soldiers were given the opportunity to take turns to rest, and most of the soldiers were ordered to retreat to the towers to hide.

rain.

But the rain continued until dawn and seemed to have no intention of stopping!

Fortunately, the land where the fortress was built was relatively high, and there was no water accumulation in the city. However, after a night of heavy rain, there was almost no dry place in the city.

The next day... the rain seemed a little lighter, but it still continued to pour.

On the third day...the light rain continued.

The fourth day... still continues...

It rained intermittently for six days.

The originally dry and cold north has become humid, as if the air is full of moisture, making these Storm Legion soldiers who have lived in the north all year round very uncomfortable with this humid weather. The feeling of wetness is like

Even my body was soaked with water, and my clothes were wet and clinging to my body, making me very uncomfortable.

Finally, on the morning of the sixth day, the orcs attacked again!

Between heaven and earth, the light rain continued. The imperial soldiers who heard the orcs' attack horn immediately stood up on the city wall and stood ready!

The raindrops fell on people's bodies, armors, and weapons, causing countless tiny drops of water to form. The raindrops flowed down their foreheads, blurring people's eyes.

But at this time, the orc phalanxes had reopened their camps one by one.

The drums sounded rapidly, and the orcs were overwhelming the local formation. Amidst the sound of horns, the orc soldiers in the front row held their shields high, and the orcs in large groups began to charge towards the trenches under the city wall!!
