Chapter 1444: The First Display of the Dragon Flame Cannon's Might

"Notify the Artillery; once the Austrian cannons stop, destroy the cannons first," Ling Chen ordered.

On the battlefield, the Austrian Army suppressed the Longyan army with firepower.

The Longyan army leisurely hid inside a natural karst cave.

Observing the constant changes on the battlefield, they felt the Longyan army's firepower weaken.

The Austrian Army immediately took action, transporting the cannons forward, and finally reached the designated location of the position.

The Austrian general breathed a sigh of relief; now the natural karst cave was within the range of his cannons, and with the power of the cannons, he could absolutely tear apart the Longyan army's combat deployment.

At that time, the Longyan army guarding in the karst cave would have nowhere to retreat.

"Fire! Do not give the Longyan a chance to catch their breath."

The Austrian general waved his Command Saber and issued the military order.

The Austrian Artillery loaded the Cannonballs, aiming at the natural karst cave where the Longyan army was located.

They were about to ignite it!

Boom!

The rumbling roar of cannons echoed through the valley, but it was not the sound made by the Austrian Army's cannons.

A tongue of fire fell into the valley at an extremely fast speed with a bang.

Fire soared into the sky!

Before the Austrian Army could even react, they saw one of the three cannons shatter!

The fragments after the explosion easily took the lives of the surrounding Austrian Army soldiers.

The Austrian general widened his eyes; this sudden change was something he had completely failed to anticipate.

He looked up at the position where the tongue of fire erupted; only a few wisps of dust and smoke were so conspicuous in the dark night.

At this moment, the moonlight shone on the high ground, and a cannon on the valley ridge emitted a faint silver light.

The Austrian general was suddenly stunned; the Longyan army actually had cannons too!

This is impossible!

According to the intelligence he had obtained, this small detachment of the Longyan army that entered the Alps had no possibility of carrying cannons at all.

First, the number of people was too small; second, cannons are extremely difficult to transport, especially in the mountains.

The time it took for the Austrian Army to transport their three cannons here was unimaginable.

The Longyan could not possibly possess cannons!

It is impossible to possess cannons in the mountain forest!

Absolutely impossible!

Boom!

Just as an explosion sounded, the Austrian general looked over nervously; another cannon shattered, and the heat wave generated by the explosion blew onto his face, causing a stinging pain.

The Longyan army was using facts to tell him that reality is reality, whether you believe it or not.

The Longyan army possessed cannons!

The Austrian general's heart was bleeding; he had spent a great deal of effort transporting these three cannons into the mountain forest.

As a result, they had achieved nothing, and now only one of the three cannons remained intact.

"Stop the Longyan army, no matter what method you use!"

"Must protect the last cannon!" The Austrian general was hysterical, crazily issuing one military order after another.

But the Austrian soldiers were shocked by the Longyan army at this moment.

The Longyan army's cannons were located at the highest point, which was very advantageous for attacking the canyon.

Now the field of vision was wide open, even in the darkness.

But the faint moonlight shining down from the moon in the sky was enough for the Longyan army to aim at them.

If they charged forward again, the Austrian Army would be like live targets, only able to be passively beaten.

The Austrian soldiers ducked their heads, not daring to attack, let alone cover the last cannon.

Even the gunners abandoned this cannon and fled for their lives regardless!

Seeing this scene, Ling Chen knew that this battle was already over; although the Austrian Army's losses were not great, these soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit.

The Art of War says: Therefore, the spirit of the three armies can be snatched away, and the heart of the general can be snatched away. Thus, in the morning, the spirit is sharp; at midday, the spirit is sluggish; in the evening, the spirit is homeward-bound.

Now the Austrian Army's morale was weak; this was the moment to pursue!

Ling Chen ordered:

"Third Squad, Second Squad, wait for the signal to cross the pool and block the Austrian Army; the rest of you continue the pursuit, but do not press too hard!"

"Understood, General!"

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Longyan army Special Forces led by the captain had already infiltrated the enemy's camp.

Because the Austrian Army had launched an all-out attack on the Longyan army, there were not many people left in the Austrian base camp.

After the captain silently took out a guard, he signaled everyone to act separately and not to alert the enemy.

The goal of this mission was to find the pool, take out the guards there, and coordinate with the main force to infiltrate, working from the inside and outside.

Everyone made a gesture of understanding.

They split up to take action.

This was the other end of the valley, and the camp established by the Austrian Army here was not small.

The captain led his men in from the east side and saw a camp where the sentries were obviously much more numerous than in other places.

The captain looked puzzled; there were very few people left behind by the Austrian Army now.

Where there is something unusual, there must be a demon!

The security level here is so high; it must be very important.

The captain made a gesture to tell the two people following behind: the objective is to take this place first and sneak inside to see what is within.

Upon receiving the captain's instructions, the three people immediately began their operation.

The captain observed carefully and discovered there were ten people at the visible sentry posts.

They were positioned in different locations, at least twenty meters apart; there were two people guarding the camp entrance, but the situation inside was unknown.

The camp used military tents, but they were unusually sturdy, leaving no gaps.

Sentries hidden in the shadows had not yet been discovered.

There was also a patrol squad that patrolled once every five minutes.

The captain hid in the shadows and began to calculate an operational plan.

With only three of them, it was very difficult to take out these ten people simultaneously without being exposed.

The captain looked at the guard furthest away; that was the best position for overlooking the entire situation.

He made a gesture, signaling for one person to take him out while the others snuck around the perimeter of the camp to search for hidden sentries.

The other two indicated they understood.

The captain quietly approached the Austria garrison soldier on the distant high tower; he was an important figure for observing the entire camp.

At night, as long as he saw a torch in a certain part of the camp flicker, it meant something had happened there.

Therefore, as long as he was taken out, the remaining garrison soldiers would be easy to handle.

The captain hid in the darkness, using the night to move; it was not easy to take out this garrison soldier.

Several times, the captain narrowly avoided the patrol soldiers.

Finally reaching the base of the high tower, the captain silenced his movements and climbed up, concealing his presence, and quietly covered the guard's mouth with one hand.

His other hand held a Dagger and instantly ended the guard's life.

An Austria garrison soldier suddenly saw the torchlight on the high tower flicker twice at this moment.

The Austria garrison soldier took a look; the mountain wind blew past, and the Austria garrison soldier shook his head, for the mountain wind after the rain was quite cold.

Up on the high tower, the captain let out a breath; the moment he took out this guard just now, he had waved the torch in his hand.

Fortunately, his movements just now were fast enough to finish him off in an instant.

After finishing off this guard, the captain held the torch and waved it twice, which did not attract the attention of others.

The two who received the signal nodded, knowing the captain had succeeded.

They immediately began their operation.

Now that the person most capable of discovering their movements had been taken out, the remaining biggest danger was easier to resolve, but they only had five minutes!
