Chapter 535: Martial Spirit Empire's Defense in Depth

From the top, to the north is a black, yellow, or slightly white dirt field, where all the trees have been cut down, and a large number of stump edges ooze resin, like the tears of the forest.

On the northern slopes, a large number of trenches crisscrossed each other, like wounds in the earth.

Tear the wound!

At the foot of Yu Linglong and others, the hillside extending to the north was dug into terraces, layer by layer, like a cascading cake at a wedding banquet!

A little further north of the terraced hillside, a large number of soldiers of the Martial Spirit Empire who had retreated before quickly moved north along the "patrol" shaped communication trenches, entered another trench on the low slope of the hill to the north, and joined forces with the soldiers there.

Yu Linglong looked at it and continued to order loudly.

"Kill! Charge the whole army! ”

When many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire heard this, they immediately rushed down from the hillside, either on horseback or on foot, and quickly charged towards the second fortification of the Martial Spirit Empire.

Among them, many heavy cavalry charged ahead, and there were no more thistles on the ground, and there seemed to be nothing to stop the group of cavalry from running quickly.

However, the ideal is very plump, but the reality is very skinny.

On the north side of the hillside, there are indeed no thistles on the ground, but the ground has become terraced layer by layer!

As long as you run down, whether it is a war horse or a human body, you must adjust your posture and stabilize your body at the moment you land, so that you will not fall.

One floor terrace doesn't take much time, but what about two floors? What about the third floor? What about the 10th floor?!

On the hillside, the speed of many cavalry of the Star Luo Empire suddenly slowed down, and in the state of the terraced mountain, the war horses could not run quickly, they ran and stopped, but they were tired and panting, foaming at the mouth!

The war horses are still like this, and those Star Luo Empire infantry troops with heavy shields are even more unbearable, they hold heavy shields in their left hands and swords in their right hands, and every time they jump, they will consume physical strength, and after a few layers of terraces, they will be tired and sweaty all over their faces.

A little farther away, many crossbowmen of the Martial Spirit Empire took advantage of this opportunity to raise their divine arm crossbows one by one, or raise their yew longbows, and shoot deadly arrows at the many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire.

"Boom, boom, boom......!"

The many divine arm crossbows and yew longbows made terrifying sounds that made the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire tremble, and immediately after, countless arrows roared into the sky, carrying strong winds that pierced people's eardrums, either head-on or from the top of their heads.

"Poof, poof......!"

Countless brilliant blood flowers bloomed in the summer sun, and even the smoke caused by the previous shell explosion could not be completely hidden.

The brilliant red brilliance was like the bloodthirsty and cruel laughter of the devil.

At the same time, in the sky, another round of black cannonballs fell from the sky and smashed into the hillside.

"Boom, boom......!"

The mountains shake!

The entire hillside shook violently, and countless soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were killed and blown to pulp, carrying a rain of blood in the sky, pouring some of their companions in the distance with their heads all over their faces.

Many were covered in red blood, and the viscous, pungent, iron-smelling blood was disgusting.

Some of the Star Luo Empire soldiers couldn't stand it anymore and squatted on the ground, retching constantly.

Dai Mubai was lucky enough to dodge the shelling again, he looked at the Martial Spirit Empire army in front of him who was more than 300 meters away from him and the others again, gritted his teeth, and shouted: "Everyone work hard, we are about to break through the enemy formation and win!" ”

Many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire were encouraged again, however, many struggled to get up again.

From the very beginning, many soldiers began to charge from hundreds of meters away, many wearing heavy armor and armed with heavy shields and swords.

In the current Douluo Continent, the full-body weight armor is not simple, a set of full-body refined iron plate armor weighs as much as thirty kilograms!

With such a load, coupled with the iron shields and swords equipped, ordinary people can't run far at all, not to mention that the Wuhun Empire also dug the hillside full of criss-crossing trenches!

After a series of hundreds of meters of charge, up the hill, over the trenches, and jumping off the terraces, the group of soldiers was exhausted, and now, they really did not want to die, they could barely hold the heavy shield and sword.

Otherwise, with such physical exertion, they would have let go of their weapons and rested in place.

Not everyone is a pervert like Tang San, and not everyone can stand the master's inexplicable and far overloaded physical training.

Too much burden often doesn't make motivation bigger, it just crushes people.

On the hillside, Dai Mubai saw that many of the soldiers he brought were a little exhausted, so he hurriedly turned his head and looked at a herald.

"Quickly let the rear army come up, and let the front army use the ditch of the Wuhun Empire on the spot and repair it in situ for a short time!"

The number of troops brought by Dai Mubai is still very large, although the casualties are huge, but there are still some reserves behind, these reserves have not suffered any damage, and their physical strength is still in good condition, so it is just right to pursue at this time.

On Dai Mubai's side, the Star Luo Empire Banner Herald replied respectfully, "Yes!" He immediately turned around and gave the order in the direction of the south.

To the south, a large number of follow-up infantry troops and some heavy cavalry of the Star Luo Empire have been pressed, and they used the trenches dug by the Wuhun Empire to avoid the shelling of the Wuhun Empire on the spot, although some of the shells fell into the trenches, but they did not cause decisive damage.

In the trench on the hillside, a flag herald saw the order of the flag herald on Dai Mubai's side at the top of the hillside, and immediately turned around and told Dai Mubai's order to a general beside him.

When the general heard this, he took a deep breath, stood up from the trench, drew his command knife from his waist, and swung it forward.

"The rear army listens to the order, forward, and supports the front army!"

"Kill!"

Many soldiers of the Star Luo Empire stood up from the trenches, quickly moved forward, ran over the top of the mountain, rushed down the northern slope, braved the rain of artillery and arrows of the Wuhun Empire, and rushed to the second defensive position of the Wuhun Empire without fear of death.

"Woohoo......!"

Countless arrows and cannonballs fell, countless soldiers of the Star Luo Empire fell in pieces like harvested wheat, sand and rocks flew up, dirt flew away, blood and scraps of flesh flew wildly, like a chaotic picture of purgatory.

Finally, after paying a huge sacrifice, the Star Luo Empire occupied the second defensive position of the Martial Spirit Empire, and Dai Mubai, Tang San, Yu Linglong and the others once again stood on the top of the hillside that was not very steep.

Standing on the top of the mountain, in front of everyone's eyes, there is a not too steep hillside in the distance, and the hillside is full of criss-crossing trenches, which are connected to the trenches, just like the meridians, blood vessels, and veins of the human body.

At the feet of Dai Mubai, Tang San and the others, the slope facing down from the north was the same as the one in front, and it was dug into a terraced shape by the Martial Spirit Empire, going down layer by layer, all the way to the foot of the mountain.

In the terraces, there are many "patrol" shaped traffic trenches, and many Wuhun Empire crossbowmen are bent on their waists, through which they move orderly and quickly to the third hillside to the north.

They were very fast, and in a short time they entered the trenches on the third slope, and some of the crossbowmen went straight to the top of the hill and continued their retreat northward, as if to be repaired.

On the side of the Star Luo Empire, the jade Linglong with willow eyebrows and phoenix eyes and phoenix eyes stood beside Dai Mubai.

When she saw another fortification in the Martial Spirit Empire that was almost identical to the one in front, she felt an inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.

The mountains and forests here are all connected in patches, one mountain after another, and the first three mountains of the Wuhun Empire are all arranged in this way to arrange defensive positions, is it ......!

She was very nervous in her heart, and immediately cast her martial spirit, opened a pair of dragon wings with her arms back, fluttered into the sky, and looked north.

In the sky, Yu Linglong looked far away, within the field of vision, on the slopes of more than ten miles, all the trees were cut down, the earth was bare, as far as the eye could see, not to mention the trees, not even a tall bush!

On these hillsides, criss-crossing are all continuous trenches, and there are no figures in the trenches, and it can be seen that there are quite a few soldiers of the Martial Spirit Empire lurking in the trenches, waiting to give the Star Luo Empire a fatal blow.

And farther away, Yu Linglong also saw many long steel pipes raised high, constantly spewing out clouds of thick gunpowder smoke from the top.

Wuhun Empire Artillery!

Seeing this, Yu Linglong took a deep breath.

It turned out that these ten or twenty miles in a row were ...... Wuhun Empire Position!

At this moment, suddenly, a scout quickly ran to the bottom of Yu Linglong, that is, Dai Mubai and the others, kneeling and clenching his fists.

"Report! Enemy infantry was spotted moving quickly from the road to the rear of our flanks in trucks. ”

On the ground, Dai Mubai was instantly shocked.

"What?!"

Before he could think, Yu Linglong had already descended from the sky, and her face was anxious.

Yu Linglong looked at Dai Mubai and hurriedly said: "Brother Dai, quickly order the whole army to retreat, the frontal defensive position of the Martial Spirit Empire is very deep, if we continue to go deeper, we will definitely fall into the encirclement of their heavy army, we can't fall in love!" ”

Behind Dai Mubai's side, Ma Hongjun scratched his head with a puzzled face.

"Seventh sister, didn't you say that we only have the only way to keep breaking forward? Now let's go back and not fit into what you said? ”

Yu Linglong was very impatient, and she didn't want to repeat the explanation to Ma Hongjun at all, but just urged Dai Mubai vigorously.

"Brother Dai, give the order quickly, it will be surrounded by the Wuhun Empire if it is too late, we will retreat now and organize the next wave of attacks, there will still be a chance!"

Dai Mubai's face was quite unsightly, he didn't expect that after listening to Yu Linglong's words, he would eventually have to return to the same way as Tang San said.

And as long as he returned to the original path, it meant that he did not get any benefits from this battle, neither succeeded in breaking through, nor did he deal much damage to the Wuhun Empire.

It can be said that there are disadvantages and no advantages!

That's it, what Linglong said is very reasonable, but this time the prediction failed.

Dai Mubai comforted himself in his heart, and then waved his hand, urging his soul power to shout: "The whole army retreats, retreat to the mountains and forests!" ”
