Chapter 483: The Artillery Battle in Front of Shikan City
An artillery siege is a scenario that can only be seen in a certain period of time in the real world. Such a scene was reproduced in the world of reincarnation, and it came so abruptly.
The shells of the Super Magic Cannon started from outside the city walls, and advanced inward in rows, until they exploded into the front gate of the City Lord's Mansion, with a terrifying range of four kilometers. This is also due to the relatively low ground outside the city. The most outstanding attribute of these Super Magic Cannons with gun carriages is their range, which is as slow as any other cannon of its kind, and this very slow rate of fire in the eyes of the craftsmen of the Temple of Gods is enough to cause panic in the eyes of the defenders of Shikan City.
Barrage advancement, ladder bombardment, and magic cannons have a lot of shortcomings compared to real-world artillery, but they are much stronger than artillery, and that is the destructive power and coverage area. The magic cannon is originally a prop that uses a cannon to send out an area magic attack, and the power of the magic cannon depends on the area magic simulated by the magic cannon. Although this imitation can only unleash half of the real magical destructive power, it is better because of the short cooldown time and the fact that it does not consume manpower.
Shikan City finally opened the city gate after enduring more than forty minutes of artillery fire, and it was impossible to defend it, there was no tunnel war in the reincarnation world, and it was useless to dig trenches for magic cannons. Bai Guang's decision to attack was very correct, now their only chance of victory was to defeat the enemy in the field, as long as the troops on both sides were mixed together, the magic guide cannon would be useless.
However, in order to achieve their goal, the troops of Shikan City still have some way to go, from the city gate to the dark infantry regiment assembled outside. The distance is more than six hundred yards, and it takes a minute to run quickly, and even if you use skill, it cannot be less than forty seconds. Moreover, the artillerymen who had already taken the lead did not mean to let go of the defenders of Shikan City, and at the same time as the city gate opened, all the magic guide cannons began to adjust their firing Zhu Yuan, and after a round of shooting, a dense magic explosion area was formed in the open space of several hundred yards.
The creatures that entered the magic burst area were torn to shreds almost instantly, and even a legendary-level warrior could not withstand the continuous attacks of several areas of magic. The open space outside the east gate of Shikan City became a human purgatory in ten minutes, and the thousands of people who rushed out were directly evaporated by magic, and even the corpses were not left intact.
White Light knows. He had to persevere, no matter how powerful the magic cannon was after shooting for a while, it needed to cool down, and these magic cannons outside the city had been bombarded for a while before he sent his troops out. Now that it is firing at a faster rate of fire, it is estimated that it will cool down in a few minutes, and then it will be time to take revenge on yourself.
As he expected, the cooling of the Super Magic Cannon is its biggest problem, although Jiang Li drew a rune on the sports car to reduce the temperature of the cannon body, but it can also ensure that the Magic Cannon can last for a long time when it is firing continuously every minute, and he has not yet studied the Magic Cannon that does not need to rest, and now the attribute of being able to continue shooting is only available on the Demon Zun Cannon.
The explosion of magic slowly thinned out. The formation of the defenders of Shikan City also took shape. The Mighty Legion is a regular legion, they have their own pride, they have never been afraid of the enemy in the field, not to mention that most of the enemies in front of them are God's chosen ones, although they have magic cannons beyond their knowledge.
The cavalry of the Mighty Legion was small, and their main force was heavy infantry. After the formation of the formation, the Mighty Legion began to advance as a whole, and the archers who were still rushing out from behind were the archers, and they began to fire at the side of the Temple of the Gods as soon as they came out.
"The armor-breaking rate is less than one percent. The damage is below the tolerable limit...... "Someone reported the test data to the sword.
"Open the blood array, the undead cavalry step forward, the undead charge array: blood sacrifice!" There was a smile on the corner of the sword's mouth, the enemy looked down on them too much. It is estimated that no one has thought that the Dark Cavalry Regiment is long gone, because they have advanced to the Undead Cavalry Regiment, and the heavy infantry that used to be able to compete with them is now unable to stop their attack.
The undead cavalry regiment slaughtered from the left flank. After completing the blood sacrifice and acceleration on the periphery, he crashed headlong into the heavy infantry array. It was only at this time that Bai Guang had an epiphany, and he was not facing the Dark Cavalry as mentioned in the report. It's a growing undead cavalry.
"Damn, this kind of backward intelligence dares to show its shame, is the current intelligence department so unbearable?" Bai Guang roared angrily, but after the roar, he couldn't ignore the crisis in front of him.
"Let the cavalry cut into the tail of the undead cavalry regiment." Bai Guang's observation is still very strong, he found that when the undead cavalry regiment charged, most of the people behind were dark cavalry, and the weakest group of people were placed at the back, this was his only chance to move back to the game, so he was ready to sacrifice the cavalry team in his hand and let them rush in to disrupt the opponent's formation.
As soon as the cavalry of Shikan City was activated, it was noticed by Jiang Li, but this kind of conventional tactic was what Jiang Li was not afraid of, because of the timely and detailed information, he had already checked the war, and he also knew that after the appearance of the undead cavalry regiment, Shikan City would inevitably send their cavalry. Therefore, after the undead cavalry regiment set off, Jiang Li began to prepare gifts for these cavalrymen.
A long trumpet was followed by a continuous sound of war drums. The undead cavalry regiment directly began to accelerate when they heard the sound of war drums, and the overall marching speed of the troops was twice as fast, and the dark cavalry, who had been dragging behind the last and did not keep up with the large army, also began to retreat, revealing more than a dozen magic cannons hiding behind them. The size of these magic cannons is much smaller, they are all dragged on a transport cart that can be pulled by a beast, and these carts are painted with intricate runes and magic arrays, and none of the complex auxiliary means increase the mobility of the cannon. So many runes and magic arrays were made for the same purpose, and that was the rate of fire.
Rapid fire, the same effect as a heavy machine gun, the Shikan City cavalry who rushed towards the dark cavalry suddenly found their prey scattered and fled, and they were left with two rows of small magic cannons that looked obliquely opposite each other. Ugly doesn't mean it's weak, and the dark cavalry scattered as these long, ground-level magic cannons let out a roar. The magic cannon uses physical ammunition, and only this ammunition can ensure the cannon's energy and ammunition supply during continuous firing.
The cavalry of Shikan City were all light cavalry, and charging into battle was not their forte, and Bai Guang sent them out to charge out with the intention of sacrificing them to disrupt the attacker's formation. The light cavalry is only equipped with very light magic leather armor, which cannot even resist powerful magic bows and arrows, let alone magic cannons with strong penetrating ability.
Like an autumn wind sweeping away leaves, two thousand light cavalry were slaughtered in twenty minutes. Each hussar was shot through at least twice, which shows the density of the barrage.
"This, how can this be? What is it? Isn't the chain magic cannon only equipped on battleships? Why are they here? Bai Guang had a question in his head, but unfortunately no one helped him answer it. In the present form, if he continues to fight like this, his troops will definitely suffer heavy losses, and the infantry is inherently inferior to the cavalry, and now he has no time and place.
"Command, magic cannon fire!" Bai Guang gave an order. The two generals under his command who knew the inside story stood up at once, the two looked at each other, but there was no way to dissuade them, they would also fight, knowing that it was absolutely impossible to withdraw the heavy infantry that had been pushed up now, rather than being killed in vain, it was better to make some contributions before dying, but they were still unwilling, these soldiers were their lifeblood. They were trained by themselves, and if they died at the hands of their own people, the impact on morale would also be huge.
"For the sake of the Empire, sacrifice is inevitable. All this is caused by these damned invaders, and if you want revenge, look for them. "Bai Guang is worthy of being engaged in intelligence, and he is very good at manipulating people's hearts. The words made the people present turn the spearhead to the enemy outside the city, ignoring the fact that his military literacy was not high and his command was unfavorable.
The city walls, which had been blown to shreds, were broken, and a dozen secret doors suddenly opened. The magic guide cannons inside the secret door were shining with magical light, and the muzzles of the cannons had already condensed into a group of magical energy, and they had entered a state of excitation.
"War knives, beware of magic cannon attacks." Jiang Li had already noticed the fluctuations of magic, and he thought that the team of magicians was preparing to come out to participate in the battle, but he didn't expect that there was such a big secret hidden in the walls of Shikan City.
The swords that were charging were reminded, and they quickly glanced at the city, their current position was basically on the left side of the center line of the east gate, and they were charging away from the center line, as long as they were given a few tens of seconds, they could rush out of the frontal battlefield.
"Undead Charge: Blood Mist Bone Shield!" The Sword is the only defensive team skill of the Undead Cavalry. The Undead Cavalry Regiment is more extreme than the Dark Cavalry Regiment, they are almost born to attack, and there is only one defensive skill in the team skill, and this skill can be retained because it has half of the attack attribute.
The blood mist dispersed and began to strengthen the attack and penetration of the weapons in the hands of the undead cavalry. Unimportant bones were torn apart from the bodies of the undead cavalry and mounts by dark magic, and the bones were intertwined horizontally, woven into a huge shield with many holes in the blood mist and powerful dark energy.
The magic cannon at the head of the city roared at this time. Shikan City's magic cannon does not have physical cannonballs, although the cannonballs added to the barrel are physical, they are torn apart when they are activated, and the physical cannonballs are only to ensure the power of the magic cannon. Beams of light spread outwards through the battlefield where the heavy infantry and the dark cavalry were intertwined, blowing out bloody alleys in the dense crowd.
The defense of the Blood Mist Bone Shield is still too low, unless it is only swept by the edge of the pillar of light, as long as it is hit head-on, the dark cavalry will not be spared. The undead cavalry was able to resist it, but they were all in the arrows of the charging formation, and they had already rushed out of the range of the magic cannon.
The defense of the heavy infantry in Shikan City is higher than that of the undead cavalry, except for the soldiers who are blocking the front, the other soldiers who are blocked by him will not be killed directly. But after all, the magic cannon is not a magic cannon that can be compared, the magic it releases is more virtual, the scope is wider, and there is no shortage of additional attributes that magic should have.
Those who are hit by fire magic start to burn, those who are hit by ice magic are frozen, and those hit by lightning magic start to twitch...... It is even more unfortunate for those who have not been killed in a single bombing, and they will die after the continuous suffering they have suffered, because there is no way for anyone to come to their rescue now.
"Magic Troupe, press the cannon fodder on it." Black Sir quickly judged the situation on the battlefield, and he found that the front of the battlefield had caused the magic cannon to blow up a blank area, which was very close to Jiang Li's command vehicle, and he definitely couldn't let Jiang Li have an accident at this time.
Hearing the black sir's order, Jiang Li nodded slightly, he was still very satisfied with the black sir's reflection, but he actually didn't need protection, he was sure of this. If it had been for Black Sir to stand on the command car himself, this order would have been inevitable.
After a period of development, their cannon fodder is not the ordinary skeleton soldiers that shattered at the first touch, especially after the experience gained from greeting ice zombies, they are more willing to make some rough-skinned zombies to use as cannon fodder.
Bai Guang, who was on the front line, also discovered this gap in the battlefield, but unfortunately the cavalry was all finished, and the only troops he could use now were his direct troops.
"Pro-Guard, frontal assault." Bai Guang naturally couldn't let go of the only opportunity that had appeared so far, and after the magic guide cannon completed its continuous attack and entered a cooldown state, he sent his direct army up.
"Black Sir, I'll leave it to you here, don't worry about the frontal battlefield." Jiang Li pulled out the blood and jumped out of the command car. The average strength of the Three Black Legions is very strong, and it is naturally outstanding in the Divine Selection, but it is a little powerless when facing the natives of higher ranks, especially in defense, the defense ability of the undead is weak, and it is very unwise to let them defend.
Jiang Li was still in the air, and he had already started to shuttle through the space, and after just two or three jumps, he rushed to the front of the battle array, Bai Zhan and Fei Fei were standing at the front of the battle array, and the cannon fodder was moving forward past them.
"Big brother, are we going out?" Fei Fei waved the war hammer excitedly, her war hammer seemed to have grown again, and Jiang Li could deeply feel the cold murderous aura coming from the war hammer.
"Commander of a hundred battles, Fei Fei follows me." Jiang Li knew Fei Fei's temper, if she didn't let her attack at this time, she would definitely be angry, and she would not be obedient one hundred percent.
On the blood, a trace of black mist with bright red light dots surrounded Jiang Li, constantly spreading around, these mist has become more and more condensed, they are always an organic mass, and they will move forward by Jiang Li's side. In addition to these black fogs with light spots, there is also a layer of lighter black fog that spreads out from this special black fog, and these black fogs will not move with them, they will spread aimlessly as if they have been abandoned.
