Chen Xing mobilized all the artillery of the Central Army and the Right Army to carry out fixed-point bombardment against Qin Wu. More than two thousand artillery mechas fired at the same time, the scene was extremely spectacular, and the cannonballs hit like raindrops.
The Gluttonous Monarch let out a low roar, and the hemispherical resistance field radiated outwards, and the cannonballs stopped in mid-air, unable to advance even an inch. Then he opened his mouth wide and sucked all the shells into his belly.
Dull explosions continued to sound, his abdomen contracted and bulged, like a wine burp, and clouds of black smoke spewed out of his mouth and nose.
After five rounds of shelling, the enemy position remained unscathed.
After five more rounds of shelling, there was still no response.
After five more rounds of shelling, the situation remains the same...
"Lord Commander..."
Seeing Chen Xing's face getting more and more ugly, Xiang Caidi hesitated to speak, but swallowed the words as they reached her lips. Even if her reason told her that this would not work, the shells would be wasted. Instead of fighting here, it's better to use the artillery shells on the enemy's large troops.
This is almost common sense in combat. The function of artillery is to kill large numbers of low-level units, not elite units, let alone "strong barrier" units.
But even so, Xiang Caidi did not dare to touch the majesty of the supreme commander and raise objections.
It was meal time, and Jian Yue Canglian and Xiao Yang came in to deliver food.
"Master, it's meal time." Jian Yue Canglian reminded in a low voice. Taking care of the health of the master is the duty of every palace maid.
Chen Xing frowned and stared at the very abrupt red arrow on the tactical map without saying a word.
The two of them sensed a depressing atmosphere. Jian Yue Cang Lian remained silent and stood quietly aside, while Xiao Yang craned his neck to look around.
"Boss, can you fight like this? All the shells are wasted."
Even Xiao Yang saw the problem. Since he was relatively simple-minded, he couldn't help but speak.
"Do you also know about military affairs?" Chen Xing slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Yang.
"Isn't this obvious?" Xiao Yang said proudly.
Two cold eyes swept over him, but because Xiao Yang was immersed in his own world at the moment, he didn't notice anything. He continued, "After so many consecutive shellings, it has no effect. Isn't it a waste of ammunition to continue?"
At this moment, Xiao Yang felt that he was surrounded by an aura of wisdom, and he was simply a military genius. He felt light and airy all over.
"Your job seems to be driver and assistant, right?" Chen Xing reminded
, "I remember you are not a staff officer."
"Ah?" Xiao Yang was stunned for a moment, and finally smelled a hint of danger. Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he explained tremblingly, "I, I..."
In fear, her voice stuttered, and she was speechless for a while.
"Imaginative remarks about the military situation and shaking the morale of the military are a crime worthy of beheading!" Xiang Caidi shouted sternly.
Jian Yue Cang Lian put down her dinner plate and slowly pulled out the Sky Crow Sword.
Xiao Yang was frightened and shouted quickly, "Boss, don't, don't, I was just saying casually..."
"No jokes in the army!" the deputy commander shouted.
"Anyone who disobeys the Lord will be killed!" The head maid raised the Sky Crow Sword high.
"I, I just want to give my opinion..." Xiao Yang smashed the jar, pointed at the two women and shouted, "You two must be thinking the same thing."
Both women were a little embarrassed to have their secrets revealed. They did think so, but they just didn't dare to say it out loud. They were about to kill someone and silence them when they saw Chen Xing pointing at Xiao Yang's nose and yelling, "You know nothing!"
"Stand here, open your eyes wide and let me see clearly!"
Although Chen Xing does not know the principle of the gluttonous monarch swallowing cannonballs, he believes in the "conservation of energy" theorem. If you want to offset part of the kinetic energy, you need kinetic energy in another direction to offset it.
Energy does not come into existence out of thin air, nor does it die out of thin air. The Gluttonous Monarch must pay a corresponding price to counteract the energy generated by the shell explosion.
Sure enough, after thirty rounds of shelling, the Gluttonous Monarch's movements slowed down significantly, and the speed of devouring shells also began to decrease. Some of the shells slipped through the net and landed on the position, causing the coalition's artillery mechas to stagger.
Many fine cracks appeared on the body surface of the Gluttonous Monarch, and orange-red blood like lava seeped out, emitting a strong smell of sulfur.
The red arrow on the battle map of the expeditionary force began to retreat backwards.
Although Qin Wu was very reluctant, he still chose to retreat. What comes is only the clone of the Gluttonous Lord, and the host's foundation is limited, and it can only exert less than one-tenth of the abilities of the Gluttonous Lord. After swallowing 60,000 rounds of artillery shells, it was approaching its limit and had to go back to recover.
"How's it going? Did you see it?" Chen Xing looked at Xiao Yang.
"They were beaten away..." Xiao Yang was a little unconvinced, "But 60,000 shells were used. How many 60,000 shells do we have?"
"Imagine your Majesty!" "The crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Xiang Caidi and Jian Yue Canglian drew their swords at the same time.
Both of them use Japanese swords. One is a pair of swords crossed behind his back, one long and one short, named "Yuanyang Killer", and the other is an Odachi "Sky Crow" hanging on the waist.
They are all magical weapons. When the blade comes out, a cold light shoots out, and the killing intent is overwhelming.
"You, you are being unreasonable!" Xiao Yang took the risk and shouted with his neck red, "What I said is all the truth!"
"Death penalty!" "Beheaded!"
The two women held knives and approached from left to right. Xiao Yang was immediately discouraged and begged for mercy while retreating, "Boss, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
Chen Xing coughed lightly and said, "Save him alive to witness our victory."
The two women sheathed their knives and stepped back. Xiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief, but when he turned around, he saw the two women's eyes that said, "Be careful, I'll kill you." He almost felt weak and fell down. The two people present were both quasi-lord-level experts, and it was too easy to kill him.
After Qin Wu retreated, the two sides entered a stalemate again.
The indiscriminately bombarded defense lines were quickly replenished with personnel and the fortifications repaired. Weathered rock is a natural bunker, but in some places it is also necessary to fill sandbags and arrange barbed wire to maximize the defensive advantage.
"Fat Master, have the batch of artillery shells we ordered arrived?"
During the truce, Chen Xing dialed Lu Shanhai's voice.
"Not yet..." Lu Shanhai's voice was filled with anger, "Those bastards from Honghe Industrial took advantage of someone and delayed our order!"
"Then we'll buy it domestically." "I've been buying it for several days, and people from the weapons chamber of commerce are trying to shirk it. Now I can only buy it at a high price through the underground market, but the quality is not up to standard."
Chen Xing gritted his teeth, "Is there no other way?"
He was fighting in front, but someone was causing trouble behind his back. Forget it about Longhe Industry. After all, it faces the entire Longxi River Basin, so it is not surprising that it is affected by the enemy. But it’s not available in China, and the arms chamber of commerce unanimously denies it, which is a bit intriguing.
I am really under attack from both sides...
Chen Xing smashed the table and sighed in his heart.
"I contacted a few old friends in Sanchahe City, who are all in the express delivery industry. I asked them to think of a solution. They are neutral there, so the problem shouldn't be big, but the time may be a bit long, so I need to persist for a while. time."
"Okay, that's all."
Chen Xing put down the communicator, let out a melancholy sigh, and immediately ordered: "Attention, all units, shoot accurately and save ammunition!"
