It seemed that they had not expected that the army of the Governor's Mansion would come out from this direction. The defenses of these bunkers were extremely weak. They only started sporadic machine gun fire and shelling, but they were soon overwhelmed by these main forces.
At the last moment of the fall, they detonated a massive amount of explosives buried in the bunker and died together with hundreds of enemies.
Leng Xiyue looked at this scene from a distance, and instead of showing any sadness on her face, she was very happy.
The bait is taken, the fish is taken the bait.
There are only a few routes that can be used to attack. Either attack from the front or take a detour. If you are too stupid to choose a frontal attack, you can only take a detour.
As for where to go, it is almost not a question that needs to be thought about.
Miho Nishizumi just assumed the role of the attacker and deduced this in a few minutes.
What these insects think is the best strategy is actually just the middle strategy, and it is extremely easy to be countered. As for the best strategy, it is naturally the seemingly troublesome Bao Rao route. Whether it is from the Tiandou Empire or the Far North, there is a large area after entering. Plains, that is an extremely deadly threat.
But these insects have activated millions of puppet armies, which consume a lot of money every day. Will they choose this long-term solution?
Obviously it was impossible, so from the moment she knew that the other side had begun to gather troops, Nishizumi Miho believed that this war was a must-win.
This does not mean they are stupid. After all, they have asked Huang Yan to give a speech in advance. This is like a sharp sword. If the Governor's Mansion does not activate a sufficient number of troops in time to deal with it, it will be stabbed through by the armored division sooner or later. Therefore, less activation is useless.
And with more activations, like now, even if the defense can be dispersed throughout the actual control area of the Governor's Mansion, the consumption is still so terrible, and there are even logistics costs. They have one and only one way, and that is to do it as soon as possible After the decisive battle, the army will continue to be sealed up, so that there is no need to continue to pay for military rations and other horrific expenses.
It is precisely because of this that every step they take becomes predictable, just like it is now.
At this time, Nishizumi Miho was taking his 20,000 armored divisions and 40,000 main infantry artillery divisions to set up a formation on the third line of defense. When the enemy penetrated deep into the second line of defense, he could give them a big surprise.
The bunker in front has long been replaced by Leng Xiyue's defense and replaced by puppet soldiers. Rather than being a nail for defense, it is better to say it is a fixed-point explosive pack - after all, which bunker would directly bury so many explosives? Just wait for the enemy to capture and then blow yourself up? This is just too fishy.
But at this time, Luo Yuanji didn't care about this at all. He thought that as long as he rushed in, victory would be within easy reach.
An army of millions.
In addition to the main force of 500,000, there are also 500,000 reserves that will follow up one after another along the forest. With so many people, they may be able to drown the enemy's poor army of about 100,000.
Compared to Luo Yuanji's confidence, Leng Xiyue also did not feel much pressure. Since the enemy has decided to attack through this forest, this means that the width of the battlefield will not be too large... In layman's terms, the enemy The army will not expand too easily, at least under the arrangement of Nishizumi Miho, they will not be given enough buffer zone to allow these hundreds of thousands of troops to reorganize into a formation suitable for attack, and this area is also similar to a funnel The same terrain, with some hilly terrain, is more suitable for defense, and the original third line of defense is just enough for 60,000 people to build a perfect line of defense. ….
This means that the enemy's formation will be relatively dense when charging after breaking out of the forest, and they do not have the conditions to outflank them during plain combat. This is undoubtedly extremely convenient for the application of machine guns and artillery. Coupled with the firepower density of thousands of tanks, This will undoubtedly be a meat grinder.
At this time, she was arranging logistics matters in an orderly manner to ensure that her troops would not fall into a situation without guns. In addition to the indispensable conventional ammunition of the Ice Crown Barrier, almost all the ammunition that could be shot out was concentrated. Here, even newly produced ammunition from the factories in Stormwind City will be quickly transported, and all of this is for this battle.
Just as Leng Xiyue and Nishizumi Miho were making their final arrangements, Tianmeng's figure
But it flew over from far to near: "Host, I'm back, and the false news has been sent. If nothing else, I can give them a little scare later."
As the saying goes, it's all a show. Of course, Leng Xiyue knew that a piece of information could not make the other party completely believe it, so she simply sent Tianmeng to the far north, directly eliminated all the enemy's reconnaissance soul masters, and transformed them into puppets to report false information. The news is that the decisive battle is now approaching. Even if the enemy gets the real information, it doesn't matter. Naturally, Tianmeng should come back and prepare for the decisive battle.
"Very well, Miho, it's time for these people to see our true fighting power."
Leng Xiyue looked far into the distance and could already detect traces of the enemy with her naked eyes. The cavalry troops in the vanguard had already rushed within five thousand meters.
The cavalry in Douluo Continent is not actually a branch of the army that can only ride horses in the traditional sense. In fact, the organization is quite chaotic and almost includes the sea, land and air armies. But normally, there are only land and air armies.
Among them, those who fight on horses are the basic units with the lowest combat effectiveness. The most powerful ones fight on real soul beasts. There are many races of these soul beasts, including tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, and some rare races like sub-dragons. They also look extraordinarily heroic, and their speed is far beyond what conventional cavalry can match. They are generally composed of elite soul masters. The cavalry composed of these ferocious beasts and soul masters charge with a strong sense of oppression, which is far beyond what regular cavalry can match.
In addition, there is the Griffin Legion, which is also the mainstream legion in various empires. It belongs to the air force and has extremely strong combat effectiveness. When the number is large, it can cover the sky and the sun, which is extremely terrifying.
The value of these griffins in Douluo Continent is equivalent to that of horses in the feudal era. They already have a complete breeding system. In the great plains of the northern provinces, the breeding of griffins is extremely prosperous and is often sold far away. empire.
If you are in the coastal areas or large lakes, there will even be cavalry regiments with aquatic soul beasts as mounts in the cavalry establishment. Dolphins, seahorses, sea snakes, sharks and the like can be tamed and used as mounts.
As soon as they entered the battle, these griffin cavalry flew up and rushed directly to the position.
A long way away, rumbling sounds can be heard on the defense line, and the earth is even shaken by it. There is a terrifying scene in the sky that blocks out the sun. Even with the blessing of various advanced weapons, this kind of charge is enough. Most of the people lost their fighting spirit and subconsciously dropped their weapons and ran away, just like the ancient legions faced a large-scale cavalry charge. ….
However, the 60,000 people present showed no fear. They just quickly came to their positions, adjusted their weapons, prepared for battle, and waited for their superiors to issue combat instructions.
In fact, if Leng Xiyue thinks about it, with the population of the area she currently controls, she will certainly not be able to recruit only 100,000 troops. According to the national conditions of the Northland, she can even incorporate 80% of the people into the military system, but this does not make any difference. Necessarily, she only needs elites to compete with the Governor's Mansion, and every one of these 100,000 regular troops is an elite. If they are not elites, it is impossible to be selected into the regular army. Basically, they have the courage to fight with the Governor once they have held a crossbow. The government fought guerrillas, and now that it has formed a system, it has no fear.
The seemingly terrifying enemy forces are actually like paper tigers. In addition to anti-soul cannons and armor-piercing projectiles later specially designed to deal with heavily armored enemies, there are also a considerable number of anti-aircraft cannons. In addition to anti-aircraft guns, these anti-aircraft cannons It can also be used as an anti-soul master cannon by firing horizontally, which is very convenient.
The seemingly terrifying Griffin Charge is actually nothing more than a large group of medium-armor or even light-armor units. Under such high-intensity and intensive anti-aircraft firepower, it seems very worthless, and can even be described as a waste.
Ever since, when the two armies collided and could observe each other with their eyes, it was not Leng Xiyue's Northern People's Army who wanted to run away, but the charging cavalry regiment of the Governor's Mansion, looking at the various densely packed artillery pieces. He even subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away.
Almost everyone realizes that this may be a trap, because no one will deploy so many main forces in such a place in advance. This can only mean one thing, the enemy has long expected that they will attack from here. Attack here.
And this kind of terrain is undoubtedly extremely suitable for an ambush.
Since it has been predicted, this means one thing, no matter whether the final result is victory or defeat, those who charge at the front will all
It is certain death.
A kind of silent fear instantly spread among the cavalry regiment as the vanguard, but retreating?
Behind them is the central army where Luo Yuanji and most of the infantry regiments are located. Many titled Douluo elders are among them. If there are deserters, they will definitely kill them by force in order to stabilize the morale of the army. Even their wives and children will be liquidated afterwards and demoted. Becoming a slave has a miserable fate.
Of course, with the cruelty of the Governor's Mansion, as long as he dies, it will only be a matter of time before his family and property are wiped out.
But in any case, compared to the meaningless death that will definitely be eaten up, dying on the charge will make you look more like a loyal minister. If the Governor thinks of it, there is still a slight chance that his family will be saved. Such a Thinking about it, everyone's morale rose again, and they had a strong momentum of not fearing life and death. They howled and urged their mounts to charge forward.
Seeing the cavalry regiment getting closer and closer, Nishizumi Miho remained unhurried, just staring at the enemy's distance with her eyes, seeming to be calculating the best striking distance.
Seeing that the overwhelming enemy troops had reached the optimal distance, and the nearest one was only more than a thousand meters away, Nishizumi Miho waved her hand violently and shouted: "Fire!"
After receiving the order from Nishizumi Miho, the lower-level officers used a specially designed soul guide to send signals and spread the order throughout the army in a very short time. After the grassroots soldiers received the order, there was a real earth-shaking effect soon after. The cannons fired in unison. ….
At a distance of one thousand meters, both machine guns and conventional weapons can actually cause effective damage. They did rain bullets on the nearest enemies at the first opportunity, but this was completely covered up by the sound of artillery. Three thousand guns The howitzers were fired at the same time, which was really the roar of death, and the enemy's charging formation was really nothing compared to it.
With a burst of sound piercing the sky, the enemy's long charging team was abruptly broken. The distance from 5,000 meters to 15,000 meters instantly transformed into a reaping field of death. The people in it, regardless of their strength, status, and each other, Whether there were any grudges between them, whether they were cavalry or the following walking soul master troops, at this moment they all became extremely equal.
A heavy cannon explodes. If you are lucky, you can send more than ten people to the sky at the same time. If you are not lucky, you can send five or six people away. No one knows whether the next shell will fall on them, nor does they know whether the shell can be dismantled. A fortress was lost, but the heavy artillery used to fight mosquitoes like them was a conventional medium-sized howitzer.
If it's a medium-sized artillery, there's often a glimmer of hope. You can almost struggle on the ground incompletely for a while, and at least you can recall your life as a human being. If it's a heavy artillery, you really don't even have time to leave your last words.
At this moment, Luo Yuanji's smug declaration before the war was so ridiculous. It was impossible for a non-defensive Contra to get out intact under such heavy artillery bombardment. What could resist the heavy armored troops of artillery? I'm afraid it's just a joke, even the bombardment from medium-sized artillery is enough to kill them.
There is a high probability that this is an unwinnable war.
The Governor's Mansion was not unaware of the existence of heavy artillery, a powerful weapon, but it never thought that the number would be so large. If the number was small, the casualties caused by the charge would be completely within control.
Many people realize this problem instantly, but only when they are dying.
All the soul masters activated their martial souls, trying to use their lifelong learning to find a glimmer of hope for survival under this bombardment, but there was no way. The soul masters of the agility attack system could quickly cross the bombing zone and go directly to the front line. , and the power attack type can only wait to die or run away.
"Spread out! Quickly spread out!"
In the buffer gap of less than ten seconds between the first round of intensive bombardment, some commanders quickly realized the weaknesses of this artillery bombardment, and shouted at the top of their lungs.
In their opinion, this kind of attack will never last long, and each time is a huge consumption. Then, they only need to disperse the team enough so that one heavy cannon can only kill a few or even hit no one at all. is success.
As everyone knows, Leng Xiyue prepared hundreds of thousands of cannonballs. Even if one shot only kills
One person is enough to produce extremely terrifying results...
What's more, in this place, no matter how dispersed they were, they couldn't get anywhere. Everywhere was covered by artillery. They seemed to be trapped. They would either die in the front or die in the back. In short, they could not escape death.
Those heading to the front line will still run into a defensive line composed of various machine guns and anti-soul masters' small artillery. Compared with random bombing, this is a charge with no hope at all, even if it is like a bear or an elephant or something similar. Mounts like Long, which are heavily armored and have hundreds of years of cultivation, can be dealt with by just a few flat-fire anti-soul master cannons. However, most ordinary soul masters don't even have the capital to be selected as targets by artillery, and are shot by machine guns. Bo, even if he was unfortunately hit by a stray bullet, he would not die or be disabled. ….
The distance of one thousand meters is like a natural chasm, which cannot be touched no matter what, not even half of it can be walked across.
Under this kind of terrifying firepower, every step forward will come at a huge cost, and retreat will also come at a huge cost, because Nishizumi Miho has mastered the distance so perfectly. If she fires at such a close range, not only will the enemy not be able to break through the defense line, Even if a large-scale retreat occurs and seven out of ten of them can be wiped out in subsequent bombardments, these main legions will not be able to return alive anyway.
The Griffin Legion in the sky is even more desperate. Compared with the charge in front and the random bombing zone in the rear, they have become real living targets, not to mention those anti-aircraft guns that can explode accurately in the air, even some snipers from ordinary infantry. Weapons can also accurately kill them. The gryphon knights don't even have the armor of those heavy armored cavalry on land. If they charge in this situation, they will be broken into pieces very quickly and turn into a rain of blood.
If it were a normal war, in this situation where no results could be achieved at all, the commanders of each department would basically choose to retreat in unison, preserve as much strength as possible, and withdraw from the long-term plan. Not only would the superiors above not punish such behavior , after learning the truth, they will even reward the commander with the largest number of retainers. Even the unworthy emperor will retain such measures.
But in the northern province, no one would, or no one dared to do this, because everyone was brought together, and even participated in the war at their own expense. The mounts they rode were all their own private property, and they were all forced by the Governor's Palace. Authority has to come.
In such a team, cohesion is almost non-existent, and there are even interest disputes among many people. Unity? impossible.
The brutal rule of the Governor's Mansion for more than a thousand years has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Human life is often the least valuable thing. Even most powerful soul masters have already concluded that they will die sooner or later. Every day of their lives is a matter of enjoyment. But looking at it, In the entire continent, they can only go to the Killing City except here. Compared with the two, of course this place is more comfortable.
As a result, the commanders of various units have given up commanding their troops, because they no longer know whether to advance or retreat. In this kind of pocket formation, it is absolutely impossible to rush out, and it is impossible to escape by running. , it is most likely to die if they go back, so many people simply choose to commit suicide, so as to retain dignity. Those subordinates who are just put together temporarily, or even do not obey discipline at all, let them decide their own destiny.
The death of these commanders actually did not make the entire legion more chaotic. They still ran around like headless flies until they were killed headlong.
As the enemy's first relatively powerful charge was gradually disintegrated, subsequent attacks could only be described as sparse. Taking advantage of this opportunity, each unit also quickly changed their weapons. Many guns were hit by the intensive attack just now. They were almost destroyed, but these losses were nothing compared to the huge results.
The armored troops originally used as defense supplements also launched a cautious charge under the command of Nishizumi Miho, and the shelling area was slowly pushed forward to ensure a very thorough sweep.
The whole process took a long time. In fact, it only lasted more than ten minutes from the time the first shot was fired. In the crushing of low-level tactics by such advanced weapons, Leng Xiyue not only did not feel that ten minutes was short, but also felt that it was a bit long. Long. ….
In fact, the entire front line was not completely without losses. The attacks launched by many long-range soul masters still caused about dozens of casualties. This was unavoidable, although she had used the special ice cubes formed by the Ice Emperor as a formation in advance.
There is a line of defense barrier, but there will always be some attacks coming from more tricky angles, so it is difficult to prevent it.
However, death is not something to be afraid of for these warriors. Every dead warrior will be engraved on the monument of Stormwind City's resistance and be remembered by everyone who comes after them. This is actually a supreme honor.
Even with such huge casualties, the enemy's powerful ones above the level of Titled Douluo never appeared, and did not even interfere with the retreat of the large army. This depends on an iron rule that people have summarized in wars over the past ten thousand years.
Titled Douluo are the beings closest to gods in the entire continent. Everyone knows that they have the ability to slaughter ordinary armies. In unequal battles, that is indeed the case.
But if in a peer-to-peer battle, such as the current situation, the Governor's Mansion has a titled Douluo, and Leng Xiyue also has a titled Douluo. Although there is almost double the difference in quantity, there is a certain advantage in quality. The combat effectiveness comparison is almost 4:3.
In this case, the side that sends Titled Douluo first will almost certainly be at a disadvantage, because you don't know where the enemy is hiding, whether they will hide in a corner of the battlefield in advance, or whether they will attack you when you interfere in a conventional war. Appear suddenly and kill you.
For example, the Governor's Mansion has sent five Titled Douluo to contain the defeat, but if Leng Xiyue hides all the Titled Douluo in advance, or simply buries them in the ground, and waits for them to directly launch a sneak attack, not to mention the five Titled Douluo. It is normal for all Douluo to be surrounded and die. Even if one of them is killed in a second by focusing on fire, the loss will exceed the nearly 100,000 troops.
In other words, even if Leng Xiyue did not deploy like this, but directly asked all titled Douluo to organize a group, and while you were dividing your '4' into '2', or '1.5', you would sneak attack on the base camp and use your '3' , go to siege '2, or '2.5,' and you can also achieve terrifying results. Again, if you don't focus on focusing your fire, one of them will fall and run away in seconds. After a while, you will seize the opportunity and another one will appear in seconds. This is completely impossible to guard against, because Titled Douluo's mobility is really too strong.
Even if your entire army goes out and launches an attack, well, I don’t want my base camp anymore and start to change homes. Our Titled Douluo avoid fighting each other and look for opportunities to massacre regular troops. You kill yours and I’ll kill mine with one move. Kill hundreds or thousands of people, and gradually all the conventional troops on both sides will be wiped out. There will be a gap of ten to twenty thousand at most. Is it useful? It's obviously useless, because there are Titled Douluo on both sides, and your regular troops aren't even enough to control the occupied area.
If you are a more radical king, I will simply let you continue to advance. Our emperor will not even give up his own life. We will directly let the masters rush to your emperor to kill your emperor and kill all the relatives of your family. Let’s see who loses. .
This situation has been confirmed in history, that is, the founding battle of the Star Luo Empire two thousand years ago, and most of the subsequent wars have also confirmed this point.
After a long history of war, people have concluded this iron rule, that is, the party that sends out the Titled Douluo first, even if it is stronger, will definitely suffer heavy losses. Later, there was an unwritten rule, that is, the Titled Douluo The Luo-level powerhouses will be independent from regular battles to prevent the situation from getting out of hand. The regular troops and the Titled Douluo-level powerhouses will each fight in their own way, which is considered to be for the benefit of both parties. Even in a passive situation, you will still maintain a certain level of rationality. ….
After all, a battle at the Title Douluo level between the two sides will directly determine the outcome of the regular battlefield. Regardless of the impressive results in conventional battles, if one side loses a battle at the Title Douluo level, it will also be a one-sided defeat.
Therefore, when Luo Yuanji, who had just left the forest with the Chinese army, received the news that almost all the former troops had died in battle, which could be described as ten out of ten, he was actually relatively calm, but his trembling hands betrayed him. inside of him.
Three hundred thousand main army.
These three hundred thousand, converted into regular troops, such as the puppet army around him, may be comparable to one million, or even more.
But now, in just ten minutes, they were all gone. The strength base used to defend the rule of the Governor-General's Mansion by so many evil people in the northern provinces had all disappeared. This was equivalent to having their spines broken.
If a person loses his spine, he is disabled. In the future, almost anyone can step on him. In any case, traveling to the north will
The hegemony of the province, or rather the Governor's Palace, on this continent has been completely lost.
As for the remaining titled Douluo? It looks like there are nearly twenty, which is a lot, but how many are hidden behind the empire? Are there any hidden forces? Where are all the titled Douluo who have obviously registered their titles but suddenly disappeared? Will they suddenly appear in the army that is almost bound to appear in the Tiandou Empire after this, and share a piece of the Governor's Mansion together?
Thinking of this, veins popped up on Luo Yuanji's forehead and his face turned red. He opened his mouth and seemed to be speaking, but did not make any sound.
A few seconds later, he activated his martial spirit, and the shadow of a god of death appeared behind him. Then he faced the soul master beside him who had escaped to report the news and released his ninth spirit without hesitation. The soul skill, the red soul ring behind him lit up, directly extinguishing it into a wisp of black smoke. The man didn't even make a sound. He silently vented his inner anger in the most cruel way.
The surrounding old men looked at this scene, also recalling the news that could be called a reprieve of death notice just now. When they came here, no one had enemies in them. The existences that could be identified as enemies were naturally of the same level. Once these enemies gather together after confirming the fall of the Governor's Mansion, and with the joint attack by the empire and some sects who want a piece of the pie, it can be foreseen that the demise of the Governor's Mansion will be a matter of time.
After a brief moment of venting, Luo Yuanji suddenly raised his head. The cynical and joking look from earlier was no longer in his eyes, replaced by the scarlet gaze and ferocious expression of the demon god.
Then, in a hoarse voice, he said hysterically to everyone around him:
"Kill, everyone, all the elders, follow me and kill those beasts!".
Ye Hua's heart is clear
