Time went back to the evening, when the sun was setting in the west, and when the court of the Kingdom of Qingyun was discussing the carving up of the Kingdom of Qixia, changes were brewing in the south of the Kingdom of Qingyun, at the checkpoint bordering the Kingdom of Taihua.
Lan Jianwu, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Kingdom of Taihua, was standing on his own checkpoint looking at the Qingyun Kingdom checkpoint across from him.
After watching for a while, he turned around and asked the deputy general Duan Baili who had just arrived, "How is the tunnel excavation going? Have the gunpowder been arranged?"
"General, three tunnels have been excavated. The average depth is more than 500 feet (about 1,670 meters). More than 30 spaces have been excavated at the end of each tunnel, leaving at least 20 tons of gunpowder in each space."
"Is it ordinary black powder, or that high-grade gunpowder?"
"Ordinary black powder. It's cheap and plentiful. Put more and the effect will be just as good.
According to the engineers of Dayang Group, in a closed environment, 10 tons of ordinary gunpowder is enough to destroy the world. We have about 20 tons per space, and a total of about 2,000 tons of gunpowder, which is enough to send the checkpoints of the Kingdom of Qingyun straight up to Qingyun.
hey-hey……
It is estimated that not many of the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the Qingyun Kingdom will be left.
Now everything has been arranged and it’s just waiting to be lit.”
Lan Jianwu took out the design drawing, looked at it for a while, and nodded with satisfaction. "Let everyone get ready and raise the defensive barrier to defend against the impact of the explosion. Check whether there are any people left in the tunnel.
At sunset, light a fire!"
"Yes." Duan Baili quickly ordered. When the work was finished, he hesitated, "General, I... have a few questions..."
"Tell me, I've noticed it a long time ago. The fact that you can endure it till now has already made me admire you with admiration."
"Hehe..." Duan Baili showed a childlike giggle in front of Lan Jianwu, "General, although there is some hatred between us and the Qingyun Kingdom, why should we help the Qixia Kingdom?
The Kingdom of Qixia asks us to fight against the Kingdom of Qingyun, so we will fight?!
If you ask me, it would be great if we also attacked the Kingdom of Qixia and snatched away the technology and talents of the Kingdom of Qixia. Then we would be able to develop rapidly!"
"Haha..." Lan Jianwu smiled, "You, if you still act like this, you will only be a general in the future, not a commander! Open the map, look at the locations of the countries, and think about it again."
Duan Baili opened the map and frowned at it
Yanyun...the country of Qingyun
Zhoushan…Zhongshan…Taihua
Qixia…Jinyang￥￥
Danyang…￥Canglan￥
After waiting for a while, Lan Jianwu pointed at the map and said, "Look, our country of Taihua lives inside the mainland. Even if we participate in the war against the country of Qixia, how many benefits can we get after victory? Most of the benefits will be taken by other countries.
Got it. The benefits we can get are minimal.
If the Kingdom of Qixia perishes, the Kingdom of Jinyang to the west of us will grow stronger, which is definitely not a good thing for us. Moreover, the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Qingyun in the north are now in collusion, and the Kingdom of Qingyun is eyeing us.
If the Kingdom of Qixia is destroyed, I'm afraid that the Kingdom of Jinyang and the Kingdom of Qingyun will immediately turn their spearheads against us!
In comparison, it is better to cooperate with the Kingdom of Qixia. You see, just after we cooperated, we got gunpowder technology, black iron technology, and artillery technology.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Qixia promised that the Kingdom of Qixia will occupy the five western countries and assist us in occupying the Kingdom of Qingyun."
Duan Baili frowned and thought for a long time, and asked, "Can you believe what the Kingdom of Qixia said?"
"It should be trustworthy. The current Qixia Country seems to regard credibility as a precious resource. They should not break their word on such a major matter."
Just as he was talking, the actual person in charge of all the underground passages came to report that all the people in the underground passages had evacuated and could light the fire at any time.
Lan Jianwu glanced at the opposite side. The sun had set, the dark red sunset glow was floating in the sky, and there were lights on the opposite side.
"Light the fire!" Lan Jianwu ordered.
After a few people left, Lan Jianwu sighed, the rules of war... have changed and become more and more unfamiliar.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a fire suddenly bursting out from the ground in the distance, and then the flames shot into the sky, the mountain peaks shattered, and endless rocks rushed into the sky. The entire mountain suddenly rose from the ground!
Even in the Divine Transformation Stage, there is nothing you can do!
The next moment, the ground roared, and a thunderous explosion came from the sky. The ground shook like a drum, crazily, and the barrier beneath him was crumbling.
The peaks and checkpoints stretching for about ten kilometers ahead collapsed like building blocks or erupted like a volcano. The firelight reflected the earth red and complemented the afterglow of the setting sun in the sky.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border of the Kingdom of Qingyun were killed in the explosion, or were buried alive. In such a crazy explosion, the foundation stage can only rely on luck to survive, and only the golden elixir stage is qualified to save life.
Because the gunpowder was buried too deep and the mountain was too high, the power of the explosion had been reduced a lot. But after all, it was more than two thousand tons of gunpowder, even though it was just ordinary gunpowder.
The formations and barriers of the level were completely scrapped, the mountain peaks were torn down, and the formation base built on the mountain peaks was not spared either.
The explosion lasted for several minutes, but billowing smoke and dust rose into the sky. Rocks rolled and the previous level had long since been wiped out.
Standing on the checkpoint of the Kingdom of Taihua, Lan Jianwu looked at the debris falling from the sky with deep eyes. These rubbles spanned more than ten kilometers, and the defensive barrier of the Kingdom of Taihua checkpoint was still smashed with sparkling light.
, some of the gravels are several meters in size, and their attack power is not weaker than during the foundation building stage.
Among the sounds of the explosion, there were also a lot of dying whines and screams, and even the roars of experts.
The billowing smoke and dust rushed high into the sky, covering up the afterglow of the setting sun, and the world became dark.
"Attack!" Lan Jianwu coldly ordered, and all the elites above the foundation-building stage rushed out, and a killing spree began. There were no prisoners or anything like that.
This is a raid, so naturally no prisoners will be taken.
Then the main body of the army set off, searching along the mountains and hills, killing and burying all the enemies. After dark, of the hundreds of thousands of troops at the Qingyun Kingdom checkpoint, only a few Yuanying stage and Jindan stage escaped, and most of them escaped.
No one could escape. Including the commander here.
At this stop, the Qingyun Kingdom's vitality was severely weakened, and at least a quarter of the country's elite troops were wiped out. In an instant, the Qingyun Kingdom had to switch from strategic offense to strategic defense.
By the time the news reached the Emperor of the Qingyun Kingdom, Lan Jianwu had already led more than 30,000 masters at the foundation-building stage and above, and frantically moved to attack for more than 200 kilometers, killing the main forces and masters from two counties, and approaching the third one.
county.
When the Kingdom of Qingyun finally responded, Lan Jianwu had already destroyed the third county and began to consolidate the results. He personally led some masters to find a location to set up an ambush.
At the same time, the army began to ransack homes in the rear, taking the descendants of various local families as hostages, and drawing out the good men of each family to form a puppet army.
After daybreak, the masters of both sides fought against each other, and they had to retreat on their own initiative, turning into a stalemate.
But as the stalemate progressed, the Artillery Legion of the Kingdom of Taihua began to catch up. By noon, less than 20 hours before the station was opened, the Legion of the Kingdom of Taihua began to advance again. The more than 10,000 puppet legions that had been reorganized overnight were forced to
Rush ahead.
At this point, the Kingdom of Qingyun not only lost about a quarter of its military strength, but also suffered a serious blow to the war confidence of the whole country. Hundreds of thousands of elite border guards were just wiped out. Scary or not! Shocking or not! There is something more terrifying than this.
Of?
Hundreds of thousands, they are elites, not civilians!
Cui Hongyan, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Qingyun Kingdom, stood on the front line, watching the artillery shells raining down, his face completely gloomy. "We have been tricked by the Qixia Kingdom! And this Taihua Kingdom, actually and the Qixia Kingdom
Just be content."
The prince, who came to supervise the troops and encourage their morale, said coldly, "General, now is not the time to talk about this."
"Don't worry, Your Highness, everything is not irreversibly bad. The opponent is fighting a surprise battle, and the rear defense force will be relatively weak.
On the one hand, we should make full use of our local advantages to prevent the opponent from advancing, and on the other hand, we should send experts to harass the enemy's rear and try to delay as much time as possible to give the domestic army time to deploy troops and generals."
But the prince of the Kingdom of Qingyun was extraordinary. He looked at the map and said slowly, "General, I have an idea. According to normal circumstances, we should be in a defensive state now. But can we take the initiative? Without giving the opponent reinforcements
Time to occupy the territory?
The front line pretends to be defensive, and the general can lead some experts to raid the enemy's rear, destroy the opponent's artillery, etc., or the baggage. It is even possible to kill the protons of various families they have seized.
I remember that Zhang Hao from the Kingdom of Qixia once proposed a strategic method, which was...people's war.
Let me expand on this. We will not engage in positional warfare this time. We will completely carry out expert thrusts and cut up the legions of the Kingdom of Taihua. We will use chaos to disrupt the army and use fast to fight fast. Then we will tear apart the army of the Kingdom of Taihua.
, completely submerged among our people!
The Kingdom of Taihua is an invasion, and the hundreds of thousands of elites who perished previously have caused almost every household in nearby counties to wear mourning. As long as we create a condition and give some rewards, it will be enough to drag the other side's elites to death in this area.
Occupy the territory!”
General Cui Hongyan's eyes suddenly lit up. He thought carefully for a while and praised, "Your Highness is wise. This method is indeed feasible. However, it requires giving ordinary people a large number of weapons."
"No problem! Didn't we eliminate the equipment once before? We can arrange it."
"Please arrange the equipment for Your Highness. I will lead the masters to attack immediately. I cannot give the other party time to breathe and think."
So in the evening again, more than 7,000 masters of the Golden Core stage and above from the Qingyun Kingdom divided their troops into three groups and raided the rear of the Taihua Kingdom army. The Taihua Kingdom, which was caught off guard, suffered heavy losses and had to retreat.
Lan Jianwu, the general of the Shangzhu Kingdom of the Kingdom of Taihua, was not a mediocre person. He was keenly aware of the crisis and immediately retreated to defend. At this time, a huge victory had been achieved, so as long as he could defend one county, he could
It is enough to give the army in the rear a base.
The army plundered the wealth of the other two counties and began to retreat. Leaving a white land behind, wails filled the land.
Soon, a day passed, and the news had spread. The brief but fierce confrontation between the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Qingyun brought huge shocks to the west of the Fertile Continent.
The new and unfamiliar way of war has also made countless generals, commanders, and superiors fall into deep thought.
