Chapter 407: Tower of Babel 4/4

Xiliang and Guanzhong were the places that contributed the most when the empire was established, the wind of martial arts was strong, the industrial force was strong, and with the support of Guanzhong and Liangzhou, Wang Hu easily led the army to Luoyang City, just like more than a hundred years ago.

The fierce Battle of Luoyang lasted for 40 days, and the artillery of both sides fired hundreds of thousands of shells, destroying most of the buildings in the city and blowing up the nearby terrain into potholes. The Tower of Babel stood outside the city, and the target was so big that it ate a lot of shells. Moreover, the imperial army also erected artillery and heavy machine guns on it, which posed a great threat to the Western Liang army, so it was attacked in a focused manner.

After the railguns were brought in by the Xiliang Military Railway, the fighting between the two sides entered a fever pitch, with thousands of people dying every day. The amount of materials to be consumed every day is astronomical, even if Wang Hu has been mentally prepared, but this kind of casualty still makes him secretly frightened.

He appointed the deputy commander of the Xiliang Dragoons to command the army as his deputy, and organized 600 Xiliang Dragoons and 3,000 sergeants to form a "commando team" to prepare for an attack in the direction of the Tower of Babel. "Sergeant" is a degraded version and reserve of "Xiliang Dragoon", and it is also an existence beyond mortals.

After so many years of exploration and development, the Knights have long found some effective ways to change jobs. One of the simplest and most straightforward is to go into battle, as long as you kill enough enemies, you will naturally be able to break through that invisible level and improve your strength and skills to a stronger level.

These 3,600 people are most of the strength of the Xiliang Dragoon, and I heard that after the Grand Master sent troops, the knights of each branch came from all over the country one after another with sergeants, so there was this powerful army with peak appearance.

"Gentlemen," Wang Hu, who was as vigorous as a young man, stood on the high platform and said loudly to the knights and sergeants lined up below: "We are setting things right, and we are doing the just cause of saving the people of the world, if we can't cut off the head of the puppet emperor, then let us die on the road of charging!" ”

He raised his arms and shouted, "For the emperor!" ”

Thousands of people used up the breath in their chests and let out an angry roar: "For the emperor! ”

Wang Hu's raised arm slashed down, "Attack!" ”

The assault attack was different from that of ordinary soldiers, and there was no large-scale artillery preparation in advance, but the infantry directly attacked the weak points of the enemy's position, and after tearing through the enemy's defenses, they did not stay to consolidate the position, but continued to attack, leaving the defense to the ordinary soldiers in the rear.

The battle went well, and over the years, artillery had dominated the battlefield and become a veritable god of war. Every large-scale attack is preceded by overwhelming artillery preparations, and without industrial strength, we simply cannot afford to play this gorgeous and cruel war game.

The Imperial side did not expect such a blow, and before the artillery in the rear could react, the positions on the front line of the Tower of Babel were already lost. By the time the artillery turned around and bombarded the rear of the Xiliang army, Wang Hu had already led the knights to kill through the entire defense line and reach the bottom of the Tower of Babel.

The hundred-foot-high Tongtianda has been turned into a military stronghold, and the Imperial Army has not only placed many cannons and heavy machine guns on it, but also arranged many observation points on it to guide long-range artillery fire in the rear. If you don't capture the Tower of Babel, the Kwantung army will continue to pour in.

Xiliang dragoons cleared the enemy layer by layer, fighting with the Imperial Army soldiers who chanted "For the Emperor" from time to time. The soldiers in the rear saw that a fierce battle broke out here, and they also continued to charge. But the place was already blocked by artillery fire, and both sides were pouring shells around Babel, so the infantry charge was very ineffective, and it didn't have much practical meaning other than smearing more blood and flesh on the ground.

Inside the Tower of Babel, the sound of explosions and the sound of rapid gunfire rang out from time to time. Seeing that the enemy was about to be killed, the commander of the tooth soldiers hurriedly said: "The traitor has been killed, please leave from the emergency passage immediately!" ”

Chen Tao took a leisurely sip of wine and said, "Give orders to the heavy artillery in the rear, and then they will aim at the front of the Tongtian Tower a hundred meters and make a covering attack." ”

"It's ........ The distance is too close, and it may hurt His Majesty's dragon body. ”

"It's okay," Chen Tao said with a smile, "I have my own destiny!" ”

The shells that had been smashed around were all fired from small-caliber artillery, but with the transmission of radio waves, the heavy artillery group in the rear immediately re-set the firing elements and aimed the thick muzzles at this side. The Western Liang Army can bring in railguns, and the Imperial Army can do the same.

In order to smash those fortresses in the mountains of Korea, the empire prepared twelve super cannons, the shells weighed more than half a ton, and the range could be forty kilometers. Every time it goes down, the earth shakes like the mountains. This kind of terrifying firepower, if it hits, can directly reimburse a team of knights.

However, the weakness of this cannon is obvious, that is, it is very troublesome to operate, a cannon requires 1,500 people to serve, and the rate of fire is very slow, it takes four days to complete the preparation, and then two hours to fire a shell, which is a veritable cannon.

These superweapons were originally hoarded on the edge of the Yalu River with 600,000 opposing troops, but now they have also been transferred back.

The thick muzzles of the guns were raised, and after intense preparations, the artillerymen put on earmuffs and quickly retreated towards the rear.

"Boom!"

The air shook along with the earth, and the flames were more than three meters long when fired. The moment the cannon was discharged, a strong wind was generated out of thin air around it, blowing the steel guardrails into the air. Even with earmuffs on, even after exiting a few hundred meters, those artillerymen still felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning.

Wang Hu, who had just reached the two hundred floors, heard a sharp whistling, as if a train was approaching. But this is already 400 meters in the air, how can there be a train here? Wang Hu was stunned for a moment, then he understood, his face was a little pale, and he shouted loudly below: "Be careful of shelling!" ”

Beware of shelling? Of course, the people on the ground couldn't hear his voice, even if he was a first-class knight in the world, he couldn't suppress the continuous roar and explosions on the battlefield, and then transmit the sound to the ground. The knights and sergeants on the lower floors heard the warning.

The screaming sound quickly approached and quickly moved away, bringing with it a strong gust of air that shook the people and objects inside the Tower of Babel. However, this wind pressure has no effect on the whole of the Tower of Babel, and this unique miracle building still stands on the ground without any changes.

Wang Hu grabbed the exposed steel bar, watched the huge cannonball go away, drew an arc in the air, and then smashed down on the position of the Xiliang army. A loud roar could be heard in the distance, and the dirt and everything on it were thrown into the air.

Looking at the smoke and dust, which was dozens of meters high, Wang Hu was silent for a while, and then roared angrily: "We're going to speed up!" ”

As the Imperial army began to fire without hesitation, the casualties of the Knights increased dramatically. The higher they went, the more fierce the resistance became, and even some of the frenzied Imperial soldiers turned their guns and fired directly at the enemies below, regardless of the explosion in the confined space that would involve them.

As the Knights continued to charge upward, they could see the corpses of the Imperial Army that were unusually on their bodies from time to time, but blood was flowing from all seven orifices. If it weren't for the blood on their faces, they would hardly have seen any damage, in fact their internal organs would have been shattered.

Hearing the sound of gunfire and explosions getting closer and more intense, the Tooth Commander spoke again: "Your Majesty, please leave immediately!" ”

Chen Tao laughed out loud and said, "The guards and the tooth soldiers are the two strongest armies established by Emperor Taizu, and later the guards were disbanded and all merged into the Xiliang Dragoon. I used to think that the guards and the tooth soldiers are both known to be the strongest, which one will be more powerful? Now it seems that the tooth soldiers still can't beat the Xiliang Dragoon after all! ”

The Tooth Commander's face turned red, as if blood was about to drip out. A rough breath came out of his nostrils, and after a moment of anger, he yelled, "The third team stays, and the others come with me!" ”

He strode down a staircase to the edge of a passageway, leaped forward, grabbed the rope, and slid down quickly. The wire-programmed gloves rubbed violently against the rope, and the temperature quickly rose to the point where it was going to be hot. The soldiers in the back could not do such an exaggerated thing, and they rushed down the stairs with rifles and grenades.

The knights were walking up with their bayonet rifles in their hands, when they suddenly heard some strange noises. Wang Hu paused at his feet, raised his right fist, and the soldiers behind him were all on guard.

"Zizi," it seems to be the sound of a cat's paw scratching on the glass plate, which makes people feel very uncomfortable when they listen to it.

Wang Hujing listened for a while, and as the voice got closer and closer, he suddenly understood, and pointed to the patio on the side with his rifle, "Here!" ”

"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”

"Click!"

"Boom!"

The sound of rifle fire, the sound of objects colliding, the roar of bomb explosions sounded in an extremely short time. With the flickering of sparks, a dark shadow suddenly appeared on the patio. The man's arm flicked, and the bomb had been dropped into the floor. Several bullets hit his side, making a lot of potholes in the concrete wall, but none of them hit.

The black shadow did not stop after throwing the bomb, but fell directly to the lower floors. In the moment of lightning just now, Wang Hu had already recognized that the person who came was his most proud apprentice and the current leader of the tooth soldiers-Xu Wuji.

Wang Hu was stunned for a while with his rifle, and the sound of continuous shooting of pistols and rifles had already sounded below, and the shouts of "For the emperor" were loud, and then fell silent again.

"Okay, what a Xu Wuji!" Wang Hu reacted from his astonishment, and he said to the others around him: "You continue to attack, I will deal with him!" ”
