Ma Quan and Huang Teng were on the left and right, and the same was true for the team. They supported each other and reached the edge of the battlefield safely.
On the battlefield at this time, there were only occasional thunder and a few flickers of fire; overall, it was still a bit peaceful.
At least, compared to the overwhelming bombings of the past, the current tranquility is a bit gentle.
The two of them looked at each other with hostility again, took a deep breath, and continued to move forward with their teams, one on the left and the other on the right. Here, they had entered the enemy's shelling range. Everyone's hearts were lifted.
Move forward, move forward, be careful, be careful again. The two of them can almost hear each other's heartbeats.
At the same time, there were dozens of such squads around, quietly advancing. Further away, there were more squads.
Suddenly, an explosion exploded not far from Ma Quan and Huang Teng. This sudden and violent explosion made the two men, as well as the soldiers they led, tremble all over.
The shock wave, mud fragments, etc. of the explosion just swept over everyone. Although the power was not great, it allowed them to feel the power of artillery for the first time!
Before this, they had only heard about artillery. But this time, the cannonball was less than a hundred meters away from the two of them!
The fire from the artillery illuminated the pale faces of the two men! After the explosion disappeared, with the help of the faint starlight and the keen vision of the practitioners, they saw a ferocious crater about eighty meters away.
There used to be a group of soldiers there, but they had disappeared!
One artillery shell destroyed a small elite unit of at least twenty people.
Ma Quan and Huang Teng looked at each other and immediately thought of the officer's instructions: spread out!
Two small teams, totaling more than fifty people, dispersed quietly. They continued to move forward not because they did not want to retreat, but because there was a supervising team behind them. If they retreated, they would die!
In war, when soldiers go to the battlefield, they have only one direction and two endings: advance, victory or death!
But this time luck seemed to favor them. They groped, meandered, and carefully reached the front line of the battlefield, which was only about three kilometers away from the enemy's defense line.
"Huh..." Ma Quan breathed a sigh of relief and took out the formation base from the storage ring, "Everyone comes here to receive the formation base and prepare to set up the formation..."
Before he finished speaking, a cannonball suddenly exploded in the sky. This cannonball was very strange, because it not only exploded in mid-air, but also glowed for a very long time and very brightly.
It just hung in the air, slowly falling, like a small sun, illuminating the surrounding area exceptionally brightly.
Not as bright as day, but at least brighter than the full moon. And this brightness is enough for cultivators to see clearly!
Ma Quan was a little dazed, but there was an indescribable uneasiness in his heart.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw the head of a soldier next to him explode, and half of his head disappeared.
Then, a muffled sound of 'pop' was heard, and there was a faint scream in the air.
And this is just the beginning.
The 'little sun' in the sky was still setting and dimmed a bit, but everyone was completely exposed.
Just when Ma Quan was still stunned, half of the soldiers next to him suddenly had their heads exploded.
It was only then that Ma Quan's hair stood on end and he screamed: "Get down!"
The one who reacted quickly fell down immediately, the one who reacted slowly... his head collapsed again.
"What!" Ma Quan was trembling all over, and the unknown thing made him even more frightened.
However, Huang Teng next to him was also shaking, and he didn't know what it was. The two of them lay on the ground in fear, but did not dare to raise their heads. When they turned to look around, they found that many people had fallen down.
Especially those who were scared and wanted to run away would fall down while running. Either their heads would bloom or their chests would bloom.
Ma Quan even saw a hole the size of a head appearing in the chest of a soldier, which was transparent from front to back! And the soldier's expression was deeply imprinted in Ma Quan's heart.
fear!
helpless!
Tremble!
There was no attack at all, only soldiers falling miserably. The screams in the air and the muffled sound of hitting human bodies made the night even more eerie and terrifying.
Don't even think about setting up formations. You can't stand up at all. Some soldiers may even be attacked even if they lie on the ground.
The illuminating artillery shells in the sky continued one after another, and there was nothing to hide on the entire battlefield.
Finally, Ma Quan still had some courage. He crept forward carefully and finally saw the appearance of countless attackers. The opponent was on a hilltop. He did not hide himself, just holding some kind of slender weapon and taking aim. He kept looking.
The weapon spurted flames, and then I saw soldiers falling three kilometers away.
Ma Quan climbed back carefully and huddled in a crater, covering his pounding heart and trembling all over.
The opponent's attack range is more than three kilometers, and it is very accurate. And there are such enemies all over the mountain!
…………
But on the Xuanzhen Sect front, the four giants on the southern front are now looking into the distance together, using binoculars.
The four giants are, of course, Gu Xingdong, the commander of the Eastern Army of the Qixia Kingdom, Nangong Zhi, the commander of the Shaoze Kingdom, Huo Shisong, the commander of the Northern Tang Kingdom, and Cui Yan, the commander of the Canglan Kingdom.
Among them all, the one with the highest status is Nangong Zhi. Nangong Zhi is actually the de facto emperor of the Kingdom of Shaoze!
At this time, each of the four people used a monocular telescope to look at the battlefield ahead.
Gu Xingdong explained a little excitedly: "Based on the enemy's attack, it is obvious that the enemy is aware that we have an ambush here. Otherwise, they would not be so cautious and dispersed.
But since we noticed it but continued to attack, and the information we got that the other party wanted to counterattack, this shows that the other party must have some purpose.
But it doesn’t matter, we won’t do whatever the enemy wants to do!”
Nangong Zhi looked at the snipers in front and sighed with emotion: "Amazing! These snipers, I believe they can surprise the opponent enough. By the way, how do you sell this sniper rifle?"
"Is this... I have to ask Zhang Hao. Don't look for me for Dayang Group's things." Gu Xingdong shrugged and continued, "The opponent's Nascent Soul stage masters have been dispatched. There are many. It seems that they are coming to call for an array?"
Nangong Zhi looked at it for a while and sneered: "If the other party wants to call for formation, of course we cannot fail to respond. Send an order to the artillery corps to launch air burst bombs. No need to save the shells, just blow them up for me!"
Anyway, the Xuanzhen Sect’s subsidy is 120% for artillery shells and so on! Such words flashed through Nangong Zhi’s mind.
Since artillery can achieve victory, reduce casualties, and there are people paying for it, why not use it!
So Xianyunzi, a master of the Xiaoyao Sect hidden in the sky, found out helplessly that the plan still didn't work. He only saw countless masters screaming after being bombed! He turned around and glanced at the embarrassed Song Zhiyuan, the commander of the Land of Lingyun.
He snorted softly: "On paper!"
Song Zhiyuan's face was a little red, and he said forcefully: "Fortunately, the loss is not big. Well... I wonder if you have any suggestions?"
The experts, think tanks, etc. all around lowered their heads. After a moment, a think tank said: "General, for the current plan, we can only stand up. Now almost 30,000 military forces have been invested in the battlefield, all of which are in the foundation building period.
elite. If we retreat now, these people may not be able to escape.
Although the opponent's air burst bombs are powerful, the shells themselves are not as flexible as those in the Nascent Soul Stage.
The Nascent Soul stage should not form formations anymore, break out alone and fight quickly. Let the Nascent Soul stage hunt down the opponent's sniper soldiers and lure the opponent's Nascent Soul stage to fight."
Song Zhiyuan took a deep breath, thought for a while and finally nodded: "All Yuanying Stages obey the order and spread out to attack. Try to look after each other in groups of three or two. Don't be too far apart between each group, try to look after each other!"
The Nascent Soul stage attacked. The Nascent Soul stage, freed from the shackles of the battle formation, was very powerful. They had their own methods, such as escape techniques, simple invisibility, magic weapon attacks, etc. After a while, they actually killed many snipers.
We even got a lot of sniper rifles.
Sure enough, facing this kind of attack from the Xiaoyao sect, the Nascent Souls from the Xuanzhen Sect had to come out to fight. To fight against a large number of Nascent Souls, there were only Nascent Souls for the time being.
Just a few minutes later, chaos erupted over the battlefield. The Nascent Soul masters from both sides were entangled, and the Xuanzhen Sect's artillery and so on were all out of use.
From behind, Song Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that things were finally developing according to his plan, and continued to order: "Keep the melee at Yuanying stage, hold the opponent back, and interfere with the opponent's snipers and artillery.
The rest of the people hurry up and set up the formation. As long as the formation rises, you can save your life! Hurry!"
The commander's order made Ma Quan and Huang Teng react. The two looked at each other, found an opportunity, gritted their teeth and rushed out, quickly setting up a small fog formation.
The first formation had a very small area of influence, no more than thirty meters. But as soon as the formation was formed, the fog was released. With the fog blocking it, it was difficult for the sniper to aim. The two of them were safe for the time being.
Ma Quan and Huang Teng looked at each other and carefully arranged the second formation under the cover of the fog.
"锚儿..." There was a crisp sound that made Ma Quan break into a cold sweat. A sniper rifle bullet accidentally interrupted the formation flag in his hand!
It was almost, almost, that the arm would become useless, or in other words, death.
But at this juncture, Ma Quan risked his life. He took out the formation flag again and started to get busy. Sometimes this person is really weird. The more afraid of death, the faster he dies. Those who are not afraid of death are safer.
.
Ma Quan's hands and feet became more and more deft, and after a while he arranged several formations. Finally, several formations gathered into a medium-sized formation, and a mist formation covering a range of more than two hundred meters appeared.
After Ma Quan succeeded, more soldiers began to get busy within the surrounding area affected by the mist formation. The formation began to expand rapidly.
Three hundred meters, five hundred meters, one kilometer...
Experts from the sky, the rear, and the Xuanzhen Sect also discovered problems.
"Covered by artillery! We can't let them form a formation! Completely destroy the formation for me!" Gu Xingdong's face became solemn.
The large-caliber artillery roared, and some formations collapsed. However, the Nascent Soul Stage fighting in the sky suddenly changed its route and began to affect the artillery bombardment.
But there are still many artillery pieces that are not affected. But at this time, the morale of the Xiaoyao faction's legion seems to have exploded, and they are busy in spite of death.
In the war zone, the fog formation...expanded rapidly!
