Chapter 122: One World War Sets the World (Part 1)(1/2)
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 large 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 attacked, either from the front or by detours. If you are too stupid to choose a frontal attack, you can only go by detours.
As for where to go, it's almost not a question that needs to be thought about.
Miho Nishizumi just assumed this point on the offensive side and deduced it 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 that 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, it is useless if there is less activation.
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 even logistics costs have to be paid. 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, Miho Nishizumi 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?
Waiting for the enemy to capture and then directly blowing up? This is simply too suspicious.
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 the forest, this means that the width of the battlefield will not be too large... In layman's terms, the enemy
The army will not be deployed 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 landforms, 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 in 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 and artillery. 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.
According to the news, 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 arms that can only ride horses in the traditional sense. In fact, the organization is quite chaotic, almost including the sea, land and air armies, but conventionally, 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, such as tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, and some rare races like 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 conventional 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 power. When there are more of them, 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 the battle entered, these griffin cavalry flew up and rushed directly to the position.
A long way away, rumbling sounds can be heard from 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 support 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 with 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 only recruit an army of 100,000 people. According to the national conditions of the Northland, she can even incorporate 80% of the people into the army system, but this does not make any difference.
Necessary, 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 launched a guerrilla campaign, and now that it has formed a system, it has no fear whatsoever.
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 air defense, 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 just a large group of medium-armor or even light-armor units. Under such high-intensity and intensive anti-aircraft firepower, it seems to be 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 escape, 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 come from here.
Attack over.
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 of them who are charging 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 the family can be saved. Such a situation
Thinking about it, everyone's morale rose again, and they had an aura that was not afraid of life and death. They howled and urged their mounts to charge forward.
Seeing the cavalry regiment getting closer and closer, Nishizumi Miho remained unhurried and just stared at the enemy's distance with her eyes, seemingly calculating the best striking distance.
Seeing that the overwhelming enemy troops had reached the optimal distance, with the nearest one being 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. No matter what the strength or status of the people in it, each other was inseparable.
Whether there was any grudge between them, whether it was the cavalry or the following walking soul master troops, at this moment they all became extremely equal.
When 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 at the same time. No one knows whether the next shell will fall on them, or whether the shell can be dismantled.
A fortress was destroyed, but the heavy artillery used to fight mosquitoes like them was a conventional medium-sized howitzer.
If it is a medium-sized artillery, there is often a glimmer of hope. You can almost struggle on the ground incompletely for a while, and at least you can recall your life of being a human being. If it is 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 escape intact under such heavy artillery bombardment. What heavy armored troops could withstand artillery? I'm afraid it was just a
What a joke, even a medium-sized artillery bombardment would be 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 deadly weapon, but it never imagined that the number would be so large. If the number were small, the casualties caused by the charge would be completely within control.
Many people realize this problem instantly, but they realize it 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 pass through 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 weakness 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 artillery shot can only kill a few or even hit no one at all.
