In the middle of the night, Lin Yuanzheng began to bombard Dongsi Peak with artillery fire. Ricardo quickly mobilized artillery to counterattack.
The war entered the first stage of "artillery duel".
The sharp scream of the artillery shells streaked across the sky, exploding into clouds of fire on the snow-capped mountains.
The terrain on the mountain is complex and there are many natural bunkers. The defenders have already chosen their positions and hid in the gaps between rocks or in pre-dug bomb shelters. Thousands of artillery shells rained down, causing far fewer casualties than normal.
In the headquarters, a mechanical monster with multiple arms was writing quickly, using pencils, compasses, rulers, squares and other tools to draw maps on the paper.
Its speed is very fast, comparable to that of a printer. With a soft swishing sound, a complex topographic map of ravines and mountains appears in front of you.
One of the robotic arms is equipped with crayons of different colors to mark the completed topographic map.
Each enemy firepower point is circled in red crayon, which also includes the number of artillery and terrain height.
The reason why Ricardo is called "the eagle owl on the dragon's shoulders" is because of his royal spirit "royal cartographer".
Stand high and see far.
The moment the map was completed, all the arms of the royal cartographer were raised. Ricardo directly took out the map, looked at it for a few times, and after confirming that it was correct, handed it to the orderer beside him.
"Send it to the artillery commander!"
"Let this fox have a taste of our power!"
A moment later, violent shelling came from our own position.
Dense shells streaked across the night sky, hitting the red circle marked on the map crazily.
The role of the Royal Cartographer is very similar to Chen Xing's tactical satellite, which is the "eye in the sky" that can monitor the battlefield in real time.
But in comparison, the royal cartographers had a much larger and farther scope for reconnaissance.
Chen Xing's tactical satellite is only about ten kilometers in diameter, while the Royal Cartographer can reach a diameter of eighty kilometers.
Although the Royal Cartographer has more strategic value in terms of reconnaissance range, especially for artillery with a longest range of 40 to 50 kilometers, the five-kilometer radius reconnaissance range seems a bit useless.
However, the delay in the images transmitted back by the reconnaissance satellite is only a few seconds. It takes a lot of time for the royal cartographers to draw the map, and the delay is as high as ten minutes or more.
On the battlefield, things are changing rapidly, and every minute of delay will bring about huge changes, let alone as long as ten minutes.
Lin Yuanzheng seized this point and ordered the artillery troops to conduct only three rounds of bombardment at the same location, and then immediately change positions to minimize the impact of the royal cartographers.
Although the artillery mecha is a bit clumsy, since it is a mecha, it is designed for easy movement, so it is not difficult to change positions.
Even though the defenders' artillery was extremely accurate, like a divine aid, the results were far below conventional standards.
Ricardo's side had fewer artillery pieces and a smaller reserve of artillery shells, but it occupies an advantageous terrain. The artillery was condescending and could hit farther and more accurately.
Lin Yuanzheng has three times as many artillery pieces, and there are enough artillery shells that can be replenished at any time.
The artillery duel started at midnight and continued until the night of the third day. The results of the two sides were equal, and each suffered damage.
The first duel between the eagle owl and the fox ended in a draw.
Among the four recognized military geniuses in the Red Earth Continent, Ricardo has the most balanced ability, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive.
What he is best at is arranging troops and commanding large armies for frontal combat. He covers everything from training soldiers to organizing officers, building a command system, collecting intelligence, and commanding during wartime.
It is a typical "textbook combat".
The "Fox of Qingqiu" Lin Yuanzheng also took this route. He graduated from the Military Department of Black Tower College and is one of Borage's direct disciples.
Defeating Ricardo, who graduated from the Lizard City Military Academy, can gain fame for the Black Tower Academy and Master Bollag.
In comparison, Bai Bubai, the "trickster" of the Principality of Tezera, took a completely different path from the two of them.
Tricksters pursue the Eastern Continent's classical tactics of "soldiers' deception" and emphasize the use of surprise and cunning tactics to attack unprepared enemies.
In addition, Saudi Arabia's military genius, "Eye of the Sandstorm" Aladdin Barsem, is good at special operations of fast mobile troops, achieving strategic advantages with a small number of elite troops.
This method of combat originated from the desert cavalry of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through the ages.
Said to be desert cavalry, it is more precise to say desert marauders or sand pirates. They rushed out of the desert on camels, plundered everywhere, and returned laden with goods. If they encounter large enemy forces coming to encircle and suppress them, they will retreat to the desert of death, using the boundless sea of sand and ubiquitous sandstorms to devour all opponents.
Before motor vehicles became the new masters of the land, desert cavalry were the lingering nightmare of all farming peoples on the Red Earth Continent.
In the heyday of the Kingdom of Sand, half of the sacred mountain was conquered, and the ten city-states and the Principality of Tezera fell under the iron hooves of the desert cavalry.
Fortunately, the Dragon Claw Mountains blocked the advance of the desert cavalry, otherwise the Red Kingdom would have been destroyed.
In a cave somewhere in the East Fourth Peak, Chen Xing and Ye Yang Bailiu played checkers with nothing to do, while Jian Yue Cang Lian and Shan Na watched the game.
On the chessboard, Chen Xing's chess pieces were scattered and he was obviously at a disadvantage.
He has been hinting to Ye Yang Bailiu that throughout the ages, those who dare to play chess to win against their masters have basically not ended well. The latter didn't take it seriously, manipulating the chess pieces, approaching step by step.
"It's very boring if you do this." Chen Xing said in a bad tone.
"Someone can't afford to lose," Ye Yang Bailiu said with his lips pursed.
"I heard that your Yeyang family adheres to the ancient tradition of the Eastern Continent, and women pay attention to the traditional virtue of taking their husbands as the key link." Chen Xing said, "Look at your ferocity in playing chess, let alone taking the husband as the key link, I It almost looks like she murdered her husband."
"Who told you?" Ye Yang Bailiu asked strangely. This is indeed the Ye Yang family's team training, but in her memory, she only mentioned to the other party "loyalty to the end" and never said "husband is the key link".
"Your sister said it." Chen Xing smiled proudly.
Hearing that he was the little traitor in the family, Ye Yang Bailiu's face turned cold and he spat, "What a loser with his elbows turned out!"
"Then you just admit that there is this tradition?" Chen Xing's smile became more and more proud, just like when he had grasped Ye Yang Bailiu's vital point in the inn.
Ye Yang Bailiu rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Even if your husband is your guide, you didn't say you can't win in chess, right?"
"Why didn't you say anything? You see, if a wife beats her husband in chess, the husband will feel tightness in the chest and feel uncomfortable." Chen Xing was persuasive, "The core idea of putting the husband as the key link is to make the husband feel happy and happy. dont you agree?"
"Don't talk about training palace maids." Ye Yang Bailiu said with an angry look on his face, patting the chessboard, "If you can find an example in the classics that taking the husband as the guideline means you can't win against your husband in chess. , I will let you go today!"
She didn't pay attention for a moment and used too much force, causing all the chess pieces to scatter.
"Hey, hey!" Chen Xing kept pointing at the chessboard to remind the opponent of the foul.
Ye Yang Bailiu came back to his senses and realized that he had been tricked. He gritted his teeth in anger and stared at Chen Xing, his almond-shaped eyes about to burst into flames, "I really want to strangle you to death, you bastard!"
She did as she was told and stood up menacingly, looking like she was going to eat someone. Upon seeing this, Chen Xing hurriedly hid behind Jian Yue Canglian and Shan Na, not forgetting to turn around and make faces at Ye Yang Bailiu.
Ye Yang Bailiu was so angry that he turned his fingers into claws and rushed towards him.
Chen Xing's body was flexible, and Shan Na's body was big enough, almost as wide as two people. Standing with Jian Yue Cang Lian, it was equivalent to a large wardrobe plus a wine cabinet. He dodged to the side and avoided Ye Yang. Bailiu's scratching.
However, the role of the human body wall was always limited. Ye Yang Bailiu was 1.81 meters tall and took full advantage of his long hands and legs to catch up with Chen Xing in two or three strokes. Just as he was about to grab the opponent's collar, he saw a flash of lightning, and Chen Xing turned into countless small bouncing arcs and appeared a few meters away.
"Don't let me catch you!"
Ye Yang Bailiu said bitterly. At this moment, there was a sudden bang above the head, the ground shook, and countless sand fell.
Shanna immediately rushed between Chen Xing and Ye Yang Bailiu, put one knee on the ground, and raised her shield upward to prevent the cave from collapsing.
Jian Yue Cang Lian opened her hands and set up a spiritual shield to protect everyone inside.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Cannonballs fell one after another overhead, sand poured down, and the cave collapsed instantly.
After several long minutes, the bombardment finally ended. Chen Xing, who teleported out long before the cave collapsed, looked at the rubble and dirt on the ground with green smoke rising from it. He was about to go forward to rummage when suddenly there was a vibration under his feet and he hurriedly jumped away.
Immediately afterwards, a thick tree trunk broke out of the ground, and its branches and leaves emitting green light brought out the three women buried underground.
This ancient tree is one of Yeyang Bailiu’s imperial spirits, the Ancient Tree of Life!
"You really have to fly away when disaster strikes." Ye Yang Bailiu said full of resentment.
Seeing that his wife was unhappy, Chen Xing quickly explained, "I can't help much if I stay down here, so I might as well come out early to avoid dragging you down."
In order to show his favor, Chen Xing even stepped forward to help Ye Yang Bailiu dust off his butt.
Ye Yang Bailiu was so angry that he dared to take advantage of her. He grabbed the bad guy with his backhand, and then used his body advantage to press the opponent to the ground.
"Apologize!"
"I was wrong, wrong!"
It wasn't until the other party repeatedly begged for mercy that she let go with satisfaction.
"It's so heavy. It weighs me down so much that I can hardly breathe." Chen Xing glanced at Ye Yang Bailiu's body and muttered, "Have you eaten too much recently and gained weight?"
Ye Yang Bailiu's face turned red immediately, and he raised his hand to hit him, "I want to die!"
"No, don't hit me. I said it wrong. Isn't that okay? Student Ye Yang is not fat at all and has the most beautiful figure." Chen Xing raised his hands, as if surrendering.
Ye Yang Bailiu gave him a hard look, then turned away and went to clean the dust on his clothes.
Chen Xing did not continue to play around. After all, there was still a war, and flirting had to have a limit.
