'Boom' 'Boom'
More than thirty 122,155 howitzers placed in the rear of the coalition forces immediately began to roar.
The merciless shells screamed towards the city wall in front.
These howitzers were the mission rewards obtained by the Iron Sword Martial Arts School and other forces last time when they cooperated with the 122nd Division Base in the Battle of the Grain Depot in Hongyuan County.
As soon as the shelling started, Bai Hongwen and others quickly retreated.
Because they saw that the barrels of more than a dozen heavy machine guns on the city wall were pointed at them.
Although they are not too afraid of heavy machine gun fire now, they will definitely be beaten to a pulp.
Continuous shells immediately exploded on and in front of the city wall. Smoke rose from the city walls.
However, this round of shelling only damaged a little of the city wall, but did not cause much harm to the people on the wall.
Because Yunling City took this into consideration when building the city wall, an additional reverse slope area was built behind the city wall.
As soon as the coalition bombardment started, the city merchants immediately retreated a few meters and went down to the reverse slope area. The shells were not missiles and could not hurt any of them at all.
Even if someone is occasionally hit by random shrapnel, they are not injured because of the protection of their fish skin armor or crab and shrimp shell armor.
"Hmph, they are out of their minds when they use artillery fire in such a battlefield environment. Return artillery fire!" Doudou snorted coldly.
'Boom boom boom'
Yunling City's eight howitzers immediately started firing.
The 140,000 coalition troops immediately became panicked. They spread out in a vast area under the city wall, and there was no good hiding place at all. Moreover, they were spread over such a large area that the artillery shells from Yunling City could hit their heads accurately even if they fired with their eyes closed.
As the shells hit the ground and exploded, the coalition troops died in pieces.
The coalition soldiers who were lucky enough to survive were suddenly frightened and panicked, running around trying to find a place to hide.
But where is there to hide?
For a time, the situation among the coalition soldiers was extremely chaotic.
Under Doudou's explanation, Yunling City's artillery shells were not fired at the area where Bai Hongwen and other senior coalition generals were located. Because although the third-level spiritual warriors are not yet able to resist the shells, they can already see the trajectory of the shells clearly and leave the explosion point of the shells in time. If it hadn't been for the large area blocked by thousands of artillery fire, it would be almost impossible for them to be injured.
"Nah, you made a mistake." Qiu Yun couldn't help but cursed angrily.
"Yeah, it was a mistake. We have howitzers, and so do they. But we have almost no impact on them, but they do 100% damage to us." Yue Jingcheng sighed.
"It's better to continue if we make a mistake. We have to wait until all the shells in their hands and ours are used up before we can enter the next step of the battle. However, the next step is not easy to handle." Sikong Zhen also sighed and said .
After all the artillery shells on both sides are exhausted, the coalition forces will definitely attack the city. In this way, the coalition forces will be ruthlessly fired by more than a dozen heavy machine guns on the city wall.
Although the current coalition soldiers have a certain degree of resistance to heavy machine gun bullets, without full body armor, there will definitely still be a lot of casualties.
But there's nothing we can do about it, right?
Sure enough, in less than twenty minutes, all the artillery shells obtained by both sides had been used up.
After this round of shelling, although the walls of Yunling City were damaged a lot, no one died. Only a dozen unlucky soldiers suffered some external injuries to their exposed body parts.
However, at least 800 coalition soldiers died, and about 3,000 soldiers lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries.
"charge!"
Bai Hongwen ordered.
Many soldiers immediately rushed up with heavy metal shields that could block heavy machine gun bullets.
They're not trying to force the wall, because that's not realistic.
They wanted to rush to the city gate and plant explosives under the city wall, and use the explosives to blow up the city gate or collapse the city wall.
There were a lot of explosives, which they exchanged from the military at a cost.
Although the military will not take the initiative to attack Yunling City, it will definitely not object to the coalition forces exchanging explosive materials from them.
Qin Kedi tried his best to oppose it, but it only prevented the military from selling heavy artillery and artillery shells to the coalition forces. He didn't stop the exchange of explosives.
In the calculation of the leaders of the coalition forces, the thousands of tons of explosives they exchanged were their secret weapon to destroy the Yunling City defenses.
However, Doudou had foreseen all this before the war started. Doudou said there was no pressure.
"Heavy machine gun fire."
When the coalition soldiers approached within 400 meters of the city wall, Doudou gave the order to fire.
The maximum range of the heavy machine gun could have easily reached more than 1,000 meters, but in order to maximize the destructive power of the heavy machine gun bullets against the heavy metal shield, Doudou placed the opponent within a range of 400 meters before starting the fight.
'Da da da......'
More than a dozen heavy machine guns suddenly began to spit out long tongues of fire, and a dense rain of bullets rained down on the rushing coalition soldiers.
'Dang Dang Dang...'
The sound of fierce metal collisions sounded continuously.
Because the impact of the heavy machine gun bullets was too great, even if they did not immediately penetrate the heavy metal shield, the coalition soldiers behind the heavy shield were unable to move forward as if they had encountered a stormy sea.
After a moment of stalemate, the thick metal shield finally began to have holes and even cracks under the continuous rain of bullets.
'Ah' 'Ah'...
Coalition soldiers began to suffer casualties again.
Moreover, as time went by, the casualties of coalition soldiers continued to increase.
The coalition soldiers began to retreat, and the attack failed.
Bai Hongwen and others looked extremely aggrieved, but there was nothing they could do.
"Charge again. I don't believe their heavy machine guns have endless bullets."
Bai Hongwen ordered again.
The other leaders could only endure the pain and force the warrior soldiers under their command to continue to die in order to consume Yunling City's bullet reserves.
At the same time, the heavy machine guns they held began to aim at the city wall to suppress them.
Although the suppression effect was not very good, it somewhat reduced the casualties of soldiers.
Time continues to pass in the bloody casualties of coalition soldiers.
More than twenty minutes later, more than a dozen heavy machine guns on the city wall went silent one after another.
All the heavy machine gun bullets stored in Yunling City have been used up.
"Now I see what else you can do? Order the soldiers to launch a final attack." Bai Hongwen couldn't help but said with a grin.
He seemed to have seen the city wall in front of him being blown down. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers rushed into the inner city like a tide, rushing into the core city area, wiping out Yunling City, and ruthlessly getting rid of the little brat he was trapped in. The ill will caused by wanton ridicule.
It's a pity that the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
A group of coalition leaders who were waiting for the victory were quickly slapped in the face.
