Chapter 455: Competing for Casualties (Part 2)
Long Yan was at the top of the city, guarding the Five Elements Cannon, and felt very bored. The Five Elements Cannon was arranged in the Buddhist war tower, which was quite safe. It is impossible for the enemy's golden elixir to directly destroy the Five Elements Cannon. At least you have to destroy the Buddhist war tower first to have the chance to destroy the Five Elements Cannon.
The defense of the Buddhist war tower itself is still above the attack power.
It is said that when the Buddha Kingdom was fighting, there were many towers of land, which could continuously provide Buddhist soldiers from the battle tower. It was meaningless for the enemy to attack the battle tower area. The battle tower itself had the same power as the Golden Elixir realm, which would weaken the enemy.
The ordinary soldiers on the top of the city were not so relaxed. As long as the huge crossbow arrow fired by the golem hit, no matter how well-equipped you, it will only take two steps to do anything.
Su Jing's six-path divine weapons army was fine, and they were all concentrated and waiting for the command of the Qi Refiner. The giant crossbow of the golem is not precise shooting and has no ability to lock, so there is still room for dodging. As long as you follow the command of the Qi Refiner, the attack target of the giant crossbow can only be those fixed turrets.
Because Su Jing was a little short of military strength, he dared not give up on the sea. There were also two cities in the north and south, and he had to defend the Tower of Heaven. In this new city, the Six Path Divine Soldier Army had only 300,000 troops, and the army of Chuchun Kingdom was successively replenished by more than 400,000.
This is the consequence of the late arrival of the God Empire. Su Jing can barely have the strength to guard the new city.
However, in the high-intensity war, the soldiers of the early spring country still seemed a little weaker.
Under the attack of the golemns of the God Empire, Su Jing's casualties were not serious, and even the fort was not destroyed much, but it was a serious blow to the morale of the soldiers of Chuchun Country.
If it weren't for the Six Divine Soldiers watching coldly, Su Jing would probably be some cowards. He was about to run away.
The giant arrows whistling in the sky will take away life at any time. These giant arrows are simply not accurate. Whoever dies depends on luck.
Although the giant arrows do not have accurate heads, they can control the distance very well. They all fall on the top of the city.
The soldiers of Chuchun Country also wanted to learn to move forward, approach the edge of the city wall, and rely on the thick stone wall to avoid it. However, the Qi Refiners immediately stopped them and gave the soldiers one by one order to move.
Several soldiers tried to move forward but did not obey the orders. As a result, flames suddenly burned in the armor and collapsed on the ground in a blink of an eye.
The voice of a Qi Refiner. The cold sound of a soldier's armor in the early spring country was heard, and the echo formed by the helmet made the sound appear cold and ruthless.
"Those who do not obey orders shall be engaged in military law."
At this moment, the soldiers of Chuchun Kingdom finally understood something. These exquisite armors are not just used to defend against enemy attacks. Once you want to rebel or escape, the formation inside will spontaneously ignite.
On the battlefield, the officers' orders are not allowed to be questioned. The identities of those Qi Refiners are also commanders themselves, but they are just special tactical commanders. In terms of strategy, the officers assigned by Su Jing are still assigned to the task.
At this moment, no one dared to violate the orders of Qi Refiners. The golem under the city was still firing crossbow arrows wildly. The soldiers on the city were very sparse because the array was very sparse, and not many were actually killed.
At the foot of the city wall, thousands of soldiers were approaching and climbing the city wall. At this time, the catapults in the city began to fire stones. This immediately attracted the attack of the golem.
The throwing of the trencher is very easy to calculate the ballistic and lock position. It has nothing similar to the launch principle of the Mother and the Soul-Leaving Cannon. After flying out, the projectiles of the Mother and the Soul-Leaving Cannon will be pulled together like a galaxy. If you want to reversely calculate the specific position of the turret, you must at least have the calculation ability of Shenlin, plus countless auxiliary devices.
The pressure on the city was suddenly relaxed, and a large number of crossbow arrows attacked the catapults in the city and the fortress at the city, and immediately counterattacked. Hundreds of earth-dragon arrows made sounds like landslides and cracks, shooting from top to bottom towards the foot of the city.
When the local dragon arrow was about to approach the low side, it suddenly turned and flew towards the golems against the ground.
Many earth dragon arrows were blocked by infantry, cavalry and chariots along the way. After penetrating more than a dozen targets, they lost their strength. At least half of the earth dragon arrows found the target.
More than thirty golems collapsed and collapsed under the concentrated bombardment of the earth dragon arrows.
Most of the attacks at the foot of the city wall are concentrated on the city gate. The only city gate without spacing is more than ten feet wide. Once pushed down, the army can immediately flock in.
The Earth Dragon Arrow was still firing continuously, and the catapult did not stop attacking. Su Jing knew that now was not the time to feel sorry for the equipment.
Every time the golem attacked, it destroyed at least two catapults. And Su Jing's city was prepared with more than 800 catapults.
This thing is not useful in the field battle. Only in urban offensive and defensive battles can the low-priced trencher be used.
In fact, Su Jing really wants to get the enemy's catapult drawings, which can instantly transform into a catapult to the granite pyramid, which has a very powerful effect.
If Su Jing gets the drawing, he will transform it. He will never use this thing as a trencher rack, but will turn it into a cannon that can fire the soul-leaving cannons of the mother and son, a series of heavy crossbows, and a ground dragon arrow.
If there were drawings of such pyramids, Su Jing could arrange firepower output positions at any time during field battles, which were cheap and had a huge threat.
The military equipment of the God Empire is all low-priced and powerful. The only disadvantage of these things may be that they require enough troops to deploy.
For example, the output of the golem is obviously not as good as that of a Su Jing chariot. Su Jing's chariot is equipped with five to six people, while the golem itself has more than a hundred soldiers with auxiliary soldiers, plus at least two Qi Refiners to control them. Those soldiers must also protect the safety of Qi Refiners.
For example, cold arrows on the battlefield are not shot by the archer, and can also kill Qi Refiners. Soldiers rely on their shields and even flesh and blood to protect Qi Refiners.
Su Jing's attack just now did not kill too many targets because the opponent's golem has not yet entered the attack position. When it really started to be used, hundreds of people were usually surrounded by the golem.
The city gate looked shaky, but no matter how the opponent's soldiers attacked, the city gate would not fall down. On the black city wall, the soldiers climbed up like ants.
The huge puppet behind also followed at this time. Even if the Earth Dragon Arrow hit more than a dozen, it would not have fatal damage to the huge puppet.
The catapult is the natural enemy of this kind of puppet, so the golem had to suppress the catapult and gave up attacking the turret at the city wall.
In the Buddhist battle tower, from time to time, powerful Jindans release one or two Taoist attacks, and unite them to attack a giant puppet. The combat power of powerful Jindans cannot be wasted on dealing with these ordinary equipment.
Their attacks must be able to recover losses in the shortest time, so it cannot be any powerful Taoist technique.
More Taoist attacks are released by Qi Refiners in the Innate and Foundation Establishment stages with talismans.
At the window of the Buddhist war tower, wind, fire, thunder and lightning kept ejaculating, and giant puppets collapsed on the way of attack, and basically no one in the soldiers inside was left.
The sky gradually darkened because I didn't dare to invest too much troops at once, and the attack of the God Empire felt a little soft and powerless.
More infantry rushed to the city, but more died halfway through the way, and the crossbow arrows at the top of the city never stopped. After several hours, only a few of the serial giant crossbows on these turrets were destroyed by golems. Most of them were over-destroyed and had to be dismantled and replaced with new giant crossbows.
The sound of the war drums of the Six Divine Soldiers Army was rapid and soothing, always changing the rhythm and coordinating with the tension on the battlefield. The soldiers' emotions were adjusted by these war drums, so they did not collapse under strong pressure.
The number of new recruits exceeded that of veterans, which was a flaw in Su Jing's army. More than twenty Qi Refiners had died in front of the war drum. Without their persistence, the soldiers could not survive.
"Don't you use your trump card?" Su Jing looked at the actual war on the sand table, a little strange. When the opponent attacked at such a rhythm, as long as he had sufficient defense weapons on his side, it would be impossible for him to be broken into the city.
The only city gate is just a trap. When Su Jing needs the other party to enter the city, he will fall down immediately. Otherwise, even if the powerful Jindan attacks with all his might, he will not be able to say that the city gate will be destroyed.
"Lord, more than 10,000 have been killed or injured."
Su Kron's voice came from the formation under the sand table. He had always been responsible for battlefield statistics, which was a very hard job.
“What is the ratio?”
"Three to seven."
Su Jing was shocked, three to seven, this means that more than three thousand deaths have passed, and seven thousand are injured and left the field. The opponent's troops are now less than 200,000.
Such losses were not expected by Su Jing. Ordinary injuries, as long as they can return to the battlefield in a short period of time, will not be calculated into the battle losses. Only those who cannot re-enter the battlefield for more than ten days will be calculated in the data.
Ten thousand people were lost like this?
In Su Jing's mind, all the war scenes were quickly played back. He found that the golem's losses were not great, and the pressure brought by the golem was the most terrifying thing.
The one who caused the most casualties were the soldiers who climbed up to the city. These soldiers were really brave. Facing enemies that were several times more than themselves and equipped with six divine weapons troops twice their own. The soldiers of the God Empire were really as possessed by the Gods, and were not afraid of death.
Because of the golem, the attack on the city wall cannot go vertically, and these soldiers did not suffer much damage during the climb.
Su Jing did not build permanent fortifications. As long as the enemy did not break through the city, there would be no three-dimensional attacks. The city towers on both sides did not protrude from the city wall, so there was no way to clean it up on the side.
It was my own mistake.
Su Jing frowned and thought in his heart how to reduce his losses. If he didn't deal with it immediately, if he fought for another day, the loss would exceed 50,000. The enemy's troops were much more than him. If he fought a war of attrition, he would be the one who failed in the end. (To be continued...)
