Dawn has arrived, but today’s dawn is extraordinarily red, not the color of dawn, but the color of war!
In the north, east, and southeast of the Kingdom of Qixia, artillery fire continued from midnight to dawn. At this time, the artillery fire was no longer so intensive, but there was still no sign of stopping.
Especially as the direction of the war with the Kingdom of Jinyang in the east, Wu Fanghai personally took charge, and the legion continued to advance, squeezing the opponent's living space.
Wu Fanghai is worthy of being a famous general. Artillery, guns, and sniper rifles were fully utilized by Wu Fanghai. Especially the whole army was armed to the teeth. They rushed forward screaming and screaming. Of course, there was a battle formation structure.
The artillery can be used for long-range attack and cover, or it can focus on attacking the opponent's main force or the artillery camp. The new artillery has an effective range of up to 40 kilometers, which made the Jinyang Kingdom Army complain incessantly.
The cannonballs fell without even seeing each other; and the new cannonballs actually had the function of breaking the ban, making ordinary defensive barriers useless. Instead, they exploded inside the barrier in a relatively closed environment, and were even more powerful.
Under the command of Wu Fanghai, and under the cover of artillery, the Qixia Kingdom Legion continued to charge, and charge again!
The best defense is offense!
If you want to delay time and prevent the other party from discovering the problem, you can only attack, and attack more crazily to prevent the other party from doing what he wants.
Also, who would have thought that the Qixia Kingdom's crazy attack here was just acting? The Qixia Kingdom's real attack was in the north, in the Yanyun Kingdom, one country away!
"I wonder what the situation in the north is like now?" Wu Fanghai was a little worried. Although the plan was good, the plan and reality are never equal.
As a famous general, Wu Fanghai is very aware of the problems involved. Even a heavy rain may put the plan on hold. Not to mention that this time he is going to destroy a country. Who knows how many variables there are.
The Kingdom of Yanyun is the most powerful country in the Five Western Alliance. If it can overthrow the Kingdom of Yanyun in one go, the Kingdom of Qixia has a 70% chance of winning the final victory.
But what if it fails?
Wu Fanghai shook his head and shook this idea out of his mind. Even if he calculated mentally but not intentionally, he would gain something even if he could not succeed, unless the people who performed it were fools. But are Liu Dingshan and others fools? Can fools practice beyond the Nascent Soul stage?
Raising his head, Wu Fanghai looked at the battle ahead. The artillery was still firing, but the front line had moved forward for more than ten kilometers.
This time, Wu Fanghai changed his tactics like never before, no longer to attack the city, but to kill!
Kill and injure the enemy with force!
In the past, the reason why we had to capture cities and occupy strategic locations was because in close combat, 'face-to-face, head-to-head' battles, we often killed one thousand enemies and suffered eight hundred losses. Therefore, generals must occupy favorable terrain and fight for their own advantage.
strategic advantage.
But with the advent of artillery and guns, the importance of strategic terrain has relatively declined.
Why is artillery called the God of War? Not only because of its power, but also because artillery has changed the way of war!
With artillery, those in a geographically disadvantaged position can also have the ability to counterattack the enemy. With artillery, there is no need for face-to-face war. With artillery, you can directly kill enemy soldiers, no matter what tactics you have!
Kill your soldiers, and you will be left with a mere commander. No matter how talented you are in military affairs, you will still be blinded! Without soldiers, even if the country has hundreds of thousands of people at risk, it can only be exploited by human beings.
Artillery made war more direct and cruel. War began to move closer to massacre.
Wu Fanghai looked at the hills on both sides. Red blood seeped out on many of the hills. Here, in this position, hundreds of thousands of Jinyang soldiers were stationed four hours ago. But now these soldiers have
It's time to rest in peace.
When the army first rushed here, the ground was full of broken corpses and dense craters, which was too horrible to look at. Wu Fanghai had to have people push the corpses together and cover them with soil.
Although it is an act, it can also be fake and real! Hundreds of thousands of cannonballs are dropped in one night, and you really think it is a joke.
But the cost of the shells is not low. Wu Fanghai looked at his surroundings, rubbed his brows, and asked the guard next to him, "How many shells are left?"
"Commander, more than two-thirds have been consumed. There are still 292,000 shells left. But even at the current speed, we can only hold on until noon."
Wu Fanghai suddenly covered his forehead, his figure swaying a little: Burning money!
When the cannon fires, millions of spiritual stones! From early morning to noon, just half a day, the wealth of 5 million high-grade spiritual stones can be burned.
The last time the Kingdom of Qixia blocked the attack of the Kingdom of Jinyang, the total cost did not exceed 10 million. Now the war has just begun, in only half a day, it is just a battlefield, and the artillery alone destroyed 5 million!
Wu Fanghai himself was frightened by this figure. According to the current situation, after this war is finished, I am afraid that even 100 million people will not be able to stop it!
What is the concept of 100 million high-grade spiritual stones? It is equivalent to the net income of Qixia Kingdom in the past ten years!
And this is just a war.
"The rules of war have changed, but they seem... really unfamiliar. Is this a war or a waste of money?" At this moment, Wu Fanghai also felt an indescribable confusion in his heart.
The development of industry and commerce and the budding industrialization have brought dawn to the country of Qixia. The wealth created by industry and commerce for the country is ten times or a hundred times that of the past. But the war under industry and commerce... why is it like this?
But okay, the current war is indeed exciting. With the firing of the cannon, the enemy is defeated! Based on observations along the way and the prisoners, it can be estimated that the more than 500,000 elites of Jinyang Kingdom who are preparing to attack have probably, maybe, been defeated.
Wasted!
It's not that I'm crippled, I'm disabled, and I've completely lost my ability and confidence to make progress.
Also, not to mention that the Kingdom of Jinyang is not too familiar with artillery warfare. Even if it is familiar with it, not many legions can persist after half a day of crazy bombing.
According to the prisoners' confessions, many soldiers had already become deserters because they were really afraid of being beaten.
Think about it, the defensive barrier is not working well, the range of our own artillery is still five or six kilometers, hovering around seven or eight kilometers, while the range of other people's artillery directly reaches 40 kilometers. This battle is simply impossible to fight!
So the soldiers ran away and fled. Now the legion... I'm afraid it's no longer an organization!
Just like that, at sunrise, the army of Qixia Kingdom pushed directly to Jiangling City, the most important city in the west of Jinyang Kingdom!
On Jiangling City, the city lord Dong Shikui was cursing his mother, and the people he was scolding were Zhou Chengde, the general of Zhenxi, Ma Kui, the general, and others.
Ordinarily Dong Shikui and Zhou Chengde were equal, but at this moment Zhou Chengde could only lower his head and listen. It was really... this defeat was too ugly.
Damn it, if we don’t even see each other, the army will be gone.
Who can I ask to explain this?
But at this time, the troops were already approaching the city, and it was too late to say anything.
At the last moment, Zhou Chengde finally understood, "City Lord, I thought about it. Although the artillery of Qixia Kingdom is powerful, it is not invincible. They can penetrate ordinary barriers, but they will definitely not be able to penetrate the 'rock barrier'
!”
Rock enchantment is a kind of partial enchantment. Different from other enchantments, rock enchantment is not 'energy defense', but 'physical defense'!
But the rock barrier also has the disadvantage of being opaque!
Using a rock barrier is equivalent to making yourself blind.
The most important thing is that if you want to block the artillery attack, one layer of barrier is obviously not enough. At least two or even three layers are needed! Get two or three layers of rock barrier. Even if the formation master comes, the barrier cannot be penetrated.
Light.
What is the use of such a defensive barrier!
But the city owner Dong Shikui's eyes lit up, "We can use an ice-type barrier! Although it is summer now, using this barrier is very expensive, but it is always effective!"
Just do what you said. Ordinary ice barriers are not complicated, and some were immediately deployed on the top of the city. Ice barriers of large and small sizes were mixed together, and together with the regular barriers, they formed a composite defense system.
But below the city, Wu Fanghai asked the army to suspend the attack, only allowing snipers and a few artillery to maintain deterrence.
According to the plan, the next target is not the Kingdom of Jinyang, but the Kingdom of Danyang; besides, the cost is huge and logistics needs a breather. Moreover, we still need to wait for news from the north.
The deputy general next to him became anxious, "Commander, we can now take down Jiangling City in one go!"
Wu Fanghai shook his head but did not explain.
Taking Jiangling City is easy, but it ruins the overall plan. Moreover, taking Jiangling City will definitely force the opponent's transformation stage to fight, and then the battle situation will be difficult to control.
As an excellent commander, he will never give up control of the battlefield just for the sake of one or two victories. Only when you control the battlefield can you be qualified to seek victory.
This time, the battlefield spans six Western countries and covers a radius of more than 20,000 miles. The transmission of information is extremely inconvenient and must rely on planning, with no room for sloppiness.
Those who blindly pursue victory can only be a general. If you want to be a commander, you must have an overall view.
Thinking of this, Wu Fanghai immediately ordered his soldiers to summon the surrounding legions: No matter how smoothly the fight goes, the plan must not be disrupted. Otherwise, military law will serve!
Then, Wu Fanghai took several of his 'disciples' to deduce the situation of the battle. The generals around him could be regarded as half disciples. In short, Wu Fanghai seriously taught everyone how to have an overall view.
"Look, if we capture Jiangling City now, a full-scale war will break out with the Kingdom of Jinyang. Although we have won the victory, we must not forget that we only have one army. Moreover, our logistics and supplies rely heavily on the railway. If
Continuing to advance, the pressure on logistical supplies is extremely high.
If we were to face the Kingdom of Jinyang in an all-out confrontation now, we would have to fight a positional war. Since we have few people, we would definitely suffer.
Remember, although artillery is good, it is not omnipotent."
"If we go according to plan, we can hold back the Kingdom of Jinyang here so that they don't dare to act rashly. We can also take the opportunity to rest, replenish our logistics, and provide cover for the attack from the south.
As long as we capture the Kingdom of Danyang, we can attack the Kingdom of Jinyang on two fronts.
At that time, it’s time for the decisive battle with the Kingdom of Jinyang!”
Everyone looked at the map, thinking silently, and absorbing Wu Fanghai's strategic wisdom.
Wu Fanghai finally sighed: "On the battlefield, you must consider the overall situation. If you only pursue the gains and losses of one city and one place, you are likely to fall into the opponent's trap!"
…………
The sun rises slowly and dawn has passed.
The imperial capital of Yanyun Kingdom has been completely reduced to ruins.
The sky-sealing and earth-sealing formation has been continuously compressed and re-compressed, and now it is only less than a kilometer in diameter. A barrier that can seal the imperial capital of a country only seals this small amount of space. The strength of the barrier is beyond imagination.
Within the barrier, 'Duan Zhengwu', who was covered in purple and black, roared. At this time, Duan Zhengwu's face became more and more ferocious, and dark red lines began to appear on his body, like the color of dried blood. And with his energy, he actually grew to the point of becoming a god.
Later period.
As a blood demon, the Heaven-Sealing and Earth-Sealing Formation has little effect on him. At present, it seems that the most effective one is the 'Sealing'. The sealing ability within the formation makes it impossible for the Blood Demon Duan Zhengwu to escape.
But as a blood demon, it is also a headache. Scatter and gather again; and then fight again. Although the opponent becomes weaker every time he is scattered, but at the current speed, it only takes thousands of times to kill him.
other side.
Thousands of times, everyone will be exhausted!
The most important thing is that the possibility of continuing to maintain the planned quick victory is no longer high.
Suddenly, the aura of the God Transformation Stage came from the south.
Liu Dingshan, Fu Yun, and Chen Yansong suddenly became wary. But soon, the three of them laughed.
In the distance, Taoist Master Mingxu rushed over. When he saw the blood demon Duan Zhengwu roaring in the barrier, he also took a breath of cold air, and then said happily, "Good guy, it has taken shape. But you can catch it all
.Can you tell me the specific situation?”
Liu Dingshan immediately looked at Taoist Master Mingxu, "Do you know this, fellow Taoist?"
"We'll talk about it later. You first talk about the situation at that time."
"Okay!" Liu Dingshan did not hesitate.
After a moment, Taoist Master Mingxu looked frightened: "Fellow Taoist did the right thing. Although it is a bit cruel, hunting the living people in the seal is indeed the right thing to do. Fortunately, you handled it in time and properly, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
But this guy has just formed, so I have something to suppress it for a while, which should be enough time for the seniors of the sect to take action."
When Liu Dingshan saw this, he immediately said: "Then this place will be left to fellow Taoists. We have to rush back and take charge."
"Wait!" Taoist Master Mingxu said with a cold sweat on his face, "Fellow Taoist, please don't leave. I'm afraid I'm not enough on my own. I'm just in the early stages of becoming a god, so I can't break him up at all. If something unexpected happens..."
Liu Dingshan frowned immediately.
Taoist Master Mingxu gritted his teeth, took off his jade identification tag, and handed it to Fu Yun, "Fellow Taoist Fu Yun, for now I can only trouble you and Chen Yansong to return.
The two of you return to the Kingdom of Qixia and take my identity jade token to the battlefield to give everyone a temporary truce.
Tell them who dares not to listen and destroy them!"
At the end of the sentence, Taoist Master Mingxu's face showed coldness but murderous intent. Is he really a good person in the stage of transformation of Xuanzhen sect?
Fu Yun hesitated for a moment, then immediately took the identity jade token and nodded: "Okay!"
