Chapter 1257: Two Artillery Builds an Advantage
The terrain of the Hongyu Empire, the more north it is, the more flat terrain there is, and conversely, the further south it is, the more mountains there are.
Penglai City and Dragon Soul City are close to the Longxiang Mountains, in the city, there are open flatlands, there are also undulating mountains and forests, Li Shimin's garrison position is well chosen, choose a pot mouth, the enemy wants to come, can only pass in a narrow formation, at that time, he only needs to ambush the army on both sides, he can achieve absolute superiority, and the war equipment can also have more cover to avoid the embarrassment of bombardment.
Passage from the air?
What are you kidding, is the pure Air Force qualified to storm the city? That's a death sentence!
In war, sometimes the advantage of terrain can lay the foundation for victory in one fell swoop, but the gap between the weapons of war can pull this advantage back.
This spout is not the only way to Dragon Soul City, but it is very troublesome to detour now, and the result may not be better than now.
Geng Yi didn't think about forcibly breaking through, when he received the information, he had already changed the formation while marching, and when he approached the mouth of the pot, the Dryad Legion was already on the front line, and directly used "Rooted in the Earth" on the spot, incarnated into a solid "city wall". The second layer of Li Siye's Mo Knife team, they can attack from the gaps between the dryads very well, with their terrifying damage, in a head-to-head confrontation, it is definitely enough to make most of the troops doubt their lives. After that, there are long-range troops such as soldiers, bows, and laws, and on both sides are the offensive and defensive God of War Guards, and the war equipment and logistics transport vehicles are all protected in the middle and rear.
This is the formation of positional warfare!
If Geng Yi had been like this, presumably Li Shimin would be very happy, he would definitely not take the initiative to attack, everyone was stationed in a "friendly" division, and what he lacked most now was time. If the war starts now, even if it is a one-for-two, it will be his loss, who will make his current resources and population unable to keep up! Even if he can win every battle in the future, if there is no third-party force involved, he will die of natural causes in a month at most.
"Aren't you alright? Faster! ”
The area of the war equipment is being flattened, and the current distance, even with the range of the large magic cannon, cannot attack Li Shimin's army hidden in the mouth of the pot, which is similar to attacking the city, whether it is in the angle of fire or the field of vision, it will be limited. However, Hulu City has a secret weapon.
Super Thunder Cannon!
Originally, the super thunder cannon that was installed on Yu Dayou's flagship, after capturing Penglai City, has been moved into Penglai City, this time sending troops, Wu Yite brought this treasure, although there will be a certain risk, after all, Wu Yi only has five units in his hands, and Xiaoyue City is not for sale, but the role is undoubted.
The super thunder cannon is the energy weapon that Wu Yi has ever seen, with the longest range, the most powerful, and capable of mass production, if you want to talk about the shortcomings, there is only one, that is, the firing interval is too long, about one and a half times that of an ordinary energy cannon. This time, in addition to bringing the super thunder cannon, there are five star extinguishing ballistas, and the remaining five are temporarily left in Penglai City, however, the range of the star extinguishing ballista is still not comparable to the super thunder cannon, and the explosion range is not as good as the conventional energy cannon, it is only suitable for precise attacks, used to "kill" the enemy's war equipment.
Obviously, Li Shimin didn't know that there was such a thing in Hulu City for the time being, but unfortunately, the main weapon on the Storm Seagull couldn't be disassembled, otherwise it would be simpler.
Shout......
There was a slight sound of breaking the air, and a purple-blue, brilliant thunderball streaked across the sky, heading towards the west, at most less than two percent faster than the cannonballs of conventional energy cannons, so it still looked a little slow, unable to draw a meteor-like trajectory in the sky.
The thunderball crossed the hill that was not too high in front of it and finally fell, followed by a loud roar. Due to the field of vision, Wu Yi could not know the effect of this cannon at the first time, but according to the approximate garrison range of Li Shimin delineated by the scouts before, this cannon would definitely not fail.
After that, according to the report of the reconnaissance team, it is enough to gradually change the shelling range. If it is a large army, it is okay to be able to move at any time, but if it is an area of war equipment and logistics, it is difficult to change it in a short time. It is true that as long as the commander is strong enough, he can use the power of the army to achieve perfect defense, and there is only one war weapon that can launch an attack on the side of Hulu City, but the power of the army is equivalent to the life of a soldier. Moreover, if you are always passive on defense, your morale will also keep declining.
Therefore, in such a situation, Li Shimin only had two choices, either to turn defense into offense, or to retreat! If he retreats, Geng Yi will be able to press over step by step, and finally press in front of Dragon Soul City, and it will take some more time at most. But at that time, Dragon Soul City will be directly exposed to Geng Yi's artillery fire, and the newly repaired city defense may be breached again, and at the same time, the people's morale, which has just improved a little, will suffer a devastating blow again. However, if you switch from defense to offense, the advantageous terrain you have chosen before will turn around and become an obstacle to limiting yourself.
This is a conspiracy, no matter how you choose, the final result will go in a direction that is not in your favor, but you have to choose!
Shout......
A moment later, after slightly adjusting the angle of the Super Thunder Cannon, the second blow was fired, and the speed of the thunder light flight may not be fast enough, but it was enough to make the opponent feel desperate.
The scene in front of me seems to be completely different from the bloody battle between the ancient battle formations, and it is more like a modern war, crushed by armaments! This is the direction that Wu Yi has been working hard all along, but for the time being, only the navy will succeed. At present, the navy of Hulu City, even if it does not have a commander, is enough to deal with the vast majority of enemies.
Withdrawn?
After two artillery shots, the reconnaissance team quickly reported that Li Shimin led the army to withdraw, which was not surprising, after all, the terrain in front of him was too pitted, even if he wanted to turn defense into attack, it was impossible to choose this time. It is conceivable that at this time, Li Shimin led the army out of the mouth of the pot, and even if he would be hit head-on by a large number of various war equipment, the picture was simply too beautiful.
At present, this can be said to be the advantage of the two guns, not to mention whether it has an impact on the morale of the other party, but the morale of the other side has risen a lot, and the morale is equivalent to combat effectiveness!
But if you want to rely on this advantage to directly destroy Li Shimin, it is completely impossible, and it is completely impossible for a super thunder cannon to level the gap between a first-class commander and a super-first-class commander.
Go all out and keep pressing!
