Chapter 153: The Battle of Xiongguan (Part I)

Two days later, a scout came to report that the army of the Black Ice Tribe was only five kilometers away from Xiongguan, and the dust raised by its troops as they advanced covered the sky and the sun, flying like locusts in the sky and a torrent of steel like beetles marching underground. And whether it is flying in the sky or walking on the ground, there are many things that they have never seen before, and it is estimated that it is a powerful secret weapon.

Hearing such a report from the scout, Tiancang and Tianmen and the others turned pale, originally they thought that with the natural danger of Xiongguan, the Black Ice Tribe would not dare to attack, even if they came to attack, they could resist for a while, but now looking at this posture, people don't take this so-called Heavenly Danger Xiongguan in their eyes at all, if even such a Heavenly Danger Xiongguan can't resist the attack of the Black Ice Tribe, if they send another army to attack from other directions, how can the Tianhai tribe still resist? No wonder the Five Alliances are still being pressed and beaten by the Black Ice Tribe with several times the number of troops, dozens of times the population and resources, not that they are too weak, but that the Black Ice Tribe is too strong.

Only Zhao Chun was not too surprised, because in the continent where the Huoyan Country is located, such a war has been fought N times, and now that the Black Ice Tribe has the full support of the Huoyan Country, it is natural to move the essence of that continent's war here.

"Well? You now know what I want you to do with digging trenches, right? It's a pity that the time is too short, otherwise it would have been easier for us to resist by building more bunkers and stuff. Let the soldiers enter the trenches and tunnels according to the original plan, and get ready for battle, especially pay attention to the air side, our pilots should not be exposed too early, and wait until they find out the enemy's situation before going up, the enemy may have a secret weapon to deal with the pilots. Zhao Chun pretended to give the battle order easily, in fact, his heart was not as relaxed as it appeared to be, he was prepared with both hands at the beginning, in case he really couldn't resist the attack of the Black Ice Tribe army, how to preserve his strength to the greatest extent and retreat in an orderly manner became his primary consideration.

Although everyone was still a little apprehensive in their hearts, after Zhao Chun gave them a reassuring pill, it made them feel that Zhao Chun was really a god-like character, and everything was in his clever calculation. With the existence of such a god-like military advisor, how can a war not be won?

At this moment, a deafening explosion of cannonballs suddenly sounded outside, and the Black Ice Tribe did not wait for all the troops to be in place, so they opened fire a few hours in advance without warning, like this long-range cannon that can hit targets several kilometers away, even in the Huoyan Country, it is a relatively advanced weapon, it seems that this time the Black Ice Tribe has really made a bloody investment, and has received the full support of the Huoyan Country. This made Zhao Chun even more worried, after such a long time, he suspected that Bhatti had already made a move and seized power, otherwise, he would not have been able to have such strong support for the Black Ice Tribe. And Bhatti has won, the alliance organization is probably more auspicious, and I don't know if Deputy Alliance Leader Liu and others are still alive, whether the Elephant Clan has been purged and slaughtered, Zhao Chun is an Elephant Clan after all, and he can't help but worry about his compatriots, but he is powerless, he can't leave everything here back, and he may not be able to change anything if he goes back......

Under the bombardment of the powerful long-range artillery of the Black Ice Tribe, the so-called Xiongguan soon turned into a ruin, and even the thousands of soldiers who were guarding it and had no time to retreat were also turned into pieces, and the military camp of a small town has been formed behind Xiongguan, and at this moment it has also become a sea of fire and ruins, the fire inside rose to the sky, dyed half of the sky red, and a small number of soldiers who had no time to transfer were either killed by shelling or burned or buried alive in the broken tiles of the broken wall, with stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the screams came one after another, and they escaped the tragic situation of hell on earth。

After the bombardment for half an hour, the Black Ice Tribe was sure that Xiongguan had been completely disabled, so they launched a charge, and to Zhao Chun's surprise, hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles rushed to the front, and the cavalry and infantry scattered to follow behind, trying to capture Xiongguan in one go, as long as Xiongguan was broken and the main force of the Tianhai tribe was encircled, it would only be a matter of time before the entire Tianhai tribe was occupied.

When they advanced to a certain range, Zhao Chun's cannon that had been placed on the top of the peak of the mountain in front of Xiongguan suddenly opened fire, and the dense cannonballs poured out towards the enemy group with fiery anger.

This sudden bombardment stunned the army of the Black Ice Tribe, they didn't know that the Tianhai tribe also had cannons, and they didn't think that they would fight back, but they didn't expect them to appear on such a high mountaintop, it was a cliff hundreds of meters high, it was difficult for birds to fly up, how did they transport tons of cannons and cannonballs? Could it be that there were immortals with great mana among them, and they used the Qiankun Great Movement to move up? Don't you know that Zhao Chun dispatched more than a thousand flying beasts in order to transport these twenty or thirty cannons and cannonballs to the mountain peak, dozens of them as a group, and it took two days to transport those cannons and cannonballs, and for this reason, he also lost dozens of flying beasts and several cannons, but judging from the current effect, these sacrifices are still worth it, but it is a pity that the time is too short, and the cannons and cannonballs transported are still too few, and the range and power of these cannons cannot be compared with the new cannons of the Black Ice Tribe, otherwise the losses of the Black Ice Tribe will be greater。

After the initial panic, the Black Ice Tribe retreated like a tide, leaving only the wreckage of a dozen tanks and the corpses of thousands of soldiers, and they also found that as long as they retreated three kilometers away, the cannons on the mountain could no longer hit them, and it seemed that there were not many of them, so their commander, after reacting, ordered their high-powered cannons to bombard the mountain, making sure to tear that small group of enemies to pieces!

Zhao Chun couldn't help but secretly say that it was a pity, as long as the artillery on the mountain waited for another half an hour, when the enemy approached Xiongguan and opened fire with the soldiers in the trench tunnel, and then they bombarded from behind, the effect would definitely be better, maybe they could annihilate a large part of the enemy, but it was a pity that the kid commanded on the mountain was sent by the canopy, and he was too anxious.

The range of the Black Ice Tribe's new long-range cannon is indeed long enough, although most of the shells fall on the mountainside, but there are still many on the top of the mountain, and although these two peaks are high and steep, the area on the top of the mountain is not large, and the widest part is only one or two hundred square meters, plus it is overgrown with low bushes, and the bushes ignited a raging fire after being hit, Zhao Chun and the others can only watch the cannons and shells that they worked so hard to get destroyed and the hundreds of artillery are also very lucky, but I don't know if the trench tunnels they dug can play a role。

The commander of the Black Ice Tribe breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the cannons on the mountain had been destroyed, but they were still a little uneasy, and sent thousands of flying soldiers to rush towards the two mountain peaks, resolutely annihilating all threats.

And at this time, Zhao Chun also had to dispatch the lurking flying soldiers, after all, it was the best way to use the flying soldiers to fight the flying soldiers, if the enemy was allowed to occupy these two peaks, and put heavy weapons such as cannons on them to bombard freely, even if he dug more trench tunnels, I am afraid it would be difficult to resist the attack of the Black Ice Tribe.

What made Zhao Chun feel strange was that the number of flying soldiers dispatched by the Black Ice Tribe this time was only about 5,000, which was not proportional to the allocation of 500,000 troops, if it was according to the standard of the previous Black Ice Tribe army, there would be at least 5,000 flying soldiers in 100,000 troops, and 500,000 should have at least 25,000 flying soldiers, or even more. After all, the advantage of the pilots on the battlefield is obvious, their speed is fast, they are flexible, and it is difficult for infantry and other arms to effectively attack the pilots.

But no matter what conspiracy the other party has, this is an opportunity for Zhao Chun, he let his seven thousand pilots carry ***, pistols, rifles and other weapons in addition to spiritual arrows, but unfortunately the machine gun is too heavy, and it is not easy to set it up on the back of the flying beast, otherwise it would be even better to bring a machine gun.

In addition to spiritual arrows, the flying soldiers of the Black Ice Tribe also carry a variety of thermal weapons. And when the pilots of the two sides started a big battle in the air, the Black Ice tribe actually followed Zhao Chun's example, using some of the pilots to transport personnel and artillery and other weapons to the top of the mountain, and the tanks, infantry, cavalry, etc. on the ground regrouped and began to press towards the Xiongguan side, their intention was obvious, that is, to take these two peaks at all costs.

Zhao Chun was in a hurry, and had to divide a part of the flying soldiers to transport soldiers and weapons to the mountain peak, but heavy weapons such as cannons were no longer transported, after all, it was too time-consuming, manpower and material resources, and once he arrived at the mountain, he might be bombarded by the enemy's artillery, which didn't make much sense. The only thing that made him feel a little consolation was that the soldiers had dug a lot of trenches next to the artillery on the top of the mountain, and the artillery fire just now did not completely destroy these trenches, so when the enemy attacked the top of the mountain, there were still a few warriors who used the trenches to resist, so that the Black Ice Tribe could not completely occupy the two peaks in a short period of time.

At this moment, Zhao Chun's mood said that if he didn't collapse, it was fake, he had asked the canopy to send an experienced, responsible, The right-hand man who regarded death as his home went up to command the artillery of the two peaks, but she didn't expect that she followed the advice of the veteran Tianmen and sent one of his commanders up, this commander was indeed born and died with him, experienced, and not afraid of death when he fought, but he was a little arrogant, because he was born in a noble, he looked down on Zhao Chun at all, thinking that he was just talking on paper, and he was just talking about it, so when he saw so many steel torrents surging over, and the mountains and fields were all over behind the enemy, like black ants, he was suddenly so excited that his blood boiled, and he thought that the time for meritorious service had come, and he fired first before the enemy approached Xiongguan, and the result was conceivable。 But now, the matter has happened, and it is too late to hold anyone responsible, and we can only try to find a way to remedy it.

The battle in the sky is fierce, the attack and defense on the ground are equally fierce, even tragic, the tank armored forces of the Black Ice Tribe are undoubtedly sharp, and it is difficult for ordinary guns to hurt them, but they can keep firing shells and bombarding with machine guns, causing great casualties to the soldiers on Zhao Chun's side. However, due to the deep and wide trenches they dug in advance, as well as criss-crossing tunnels, the power of the tank armor was greatly reduced, and when the armored tank fell into the trench and could not come up for a while, the soldiers on Zhao Chun's side magically appeared from the tunnel, and blasted it into a pile of scrap iron with **, ** bag, etc.

The two sides fought from noon to late at night, until the sun and moon were dull, and the sky and the earth were discolored. Every inch of land has been repeatedly contested, and within a radius of several kilometers, there is floating soil shaken by bullets, mixed with stumps and broken arms, flesh and blood, even the apocalyptic Shura hell cannot describe this tragic situation in the world.
