Chapter 214: Before the Decisive Battle (I)
The first to suffer was the flying Hewu in the sky, and they were immediately covered with heavy volcanic ash and fell weightlessly.
The rising heat, the dark magma, soon enveloped these dances alive, and the smell of burnt flesh came from the air.
The smoke and dust were like magma from hell flowing in all directions, and it was like a post-apocalyptic scene, and those who were close to the crater were not immune. They were soon surrounded by volcanic ash and magma, solidified into dozens of humanoid stones, and used their lives to erect an immortal monument to defend their country.
However, their sacrifice was not of much value. Except for those He Wu flying in the air, the soldiers of the Imperial did not lose too much, mainly because Meng Nan deduced their conspiracy from the smell of sulfur in advance, so that the volcanic eruption caused by their own lives only wiped out all the He Wu troops in the forward department, and some Yellow Devils and Purple Devils were killed after the break, but as for the human soldiers, they were not damaged at all.
However, this loss still made the high-level commander of the Sona Empire Expeditionary Force feel distressed, and the brave and strong Sona soldiers also felt a kind of pressure for the suicide attack of the Silang Empire people who were not afraid of life and death.
However, Meng Nan had a strange idea in his heart. If he was the commander of the Sielang Empire, he would definitely not send a small group of supernatural people to harass like this.
This kind of bearing and pattern is really too small......
The expeditionary force bypassed the area of the eruption and chose another mountain range to break through.
Although on the way, there were many sporadic attacks again, and the expeditionary force also lost some troops, but this further confirmed Meng Nan's guess.
This person who planned the battle on the side of the Silang Empire was a layman at all. In other words, he had never commanded a large-scale campaign, and the resistance he organized was entirely a small-scale conflict.
In fact, Meng Nan's guess was not wrong at all, the Sirleng Empire's national strength has declined in the past hundred years. They are completely powerless to expand, and the other surrounding countries have to deal with the annexation of the Sona Empire with all their might, and they are even more powerless to offend the Sieleng Empire, which lacks the baptism of war, has no experience in such large-scale battles at all, so that their resistance is light and disorderly.
However, along the way, the sporadic resistance of the Silang Empire opened the eyes of the Sona Expeditionary Force.
Fire, water, and soil control are the most common. There are also those who control the wind, those who can release poison, and those who can create forests...... The funniest thing is a psychic who manipulates people's spirits.
This guy seems to be very powerful. One man is trying to level out the entire striker, and he seems to be infinitely close to success. He actually used his ability to influence the thinking of the entire forward soldiers. Let them mistakenly think that the cliff ahead is just a smooth road, and stride forward one by one.
It's a pity that even the soldier at the front, when he was still fifty meters away from the cliff, this guy couldn't bear it because of his mental strength, and his head exploded with a bang......
The thing was originally hidden in a tree, but the blood of the brain was drenched in the soldiers below. The unconscious crowd thought that this was another new way of attacking, and cautiously told Meng Nan. Meng Nan only deduced everything when he saw the cliff in front of him. In this regard, he could only shake his head helplessly, shrug his shoulders and smile bitterly......
In addition, there are some people who cultivate physical strength, and this kind of ability relies on the strength of the body, which is a pity. The Seven Demon Clan is specially used to deal with this kind of person, the invulnerable Purple Devil and the Yellow Devil who can be combined, and they can get these seemingly brainless guys in minutes, and the expeditionary force of the empire is advancing faster and faster.
When the team was still more than seventy kilometers away from the capital of the Silang Empire. Meng Nan's forward division finally encountered the enemy's regular troops.
A fierce battle, the synthetic demonic beast of the Sona Empire, exerted unimaginably powerful combat power. Meng Nan found that the army of the Silang Empire was inferior in combat effectiveness compared to the army of the Kepu Federation.
After all, the army of the Kepu Federation is composed of most of the Kaxiu, and the invincible lightsabers in their hands play a great combat power bonus. The soldiers of the Silang Empire relied on physical skills, which was originally the route of elite soldiers.
It's a pity that what the Sona Empire is good at is to fight more and less. A large number of synthetic demonic beasts are completely synonymous with cannon fodder, and with the support of the rear, a steady stream of Xiaoyang and the Seven Demon Clans and He Wu rushed towards the enemy, regardless of casualties and life and death.
Although the soldiers of the Silang Empire resisted hard, compared to the terrifying number of the Sona Empire Expeditionary Force, they had no chance of winning at all. This regular army was quickly crippled by Meng Nan, and through the interrogation of some prisoners, Meng Nan already had the most intuitive understanding of the current situation of the Sileng Empire.
The Sileng Empire is also a hereditary monarchy, and the current reigning King Is, who is only eleven years old, has been reigning for three years, and his father, King Tambu, died too early, leaving behind a decaying empire and a childish teenager.
In fact, most of the power of the king of Isis fell into the hands of Prime Minister Hu Jun. This Hu Jun is the commander-in-chief of this battle. As soon as the expeditionary force from the Sona Empire stepped into the territory of the Silang Empire, he transferred all the regular troops of the empire back to the capital.
Mobilize the power of the whole country to defend this city where the king and all the ministers live. This kind of stupid practice has also attracted criticism from many people.
When the Sona Imperial Expeditionary Force first came to the Silang Empire, the three people who manipulated the iceberg and attacked the Imperial Expeditionary Force were the original members of the General Staff. They couldn't get used to Hu Jun's selfish behavior, and when they had an argument, but they were not supported by the king, the three of them resolutely sneaked into the front line, and used their lives to manipulate the iceberg to crash into the Sona Expeditionary Force......
I don't know if it was their behavior that reminded Prime Minister Hu Jun, or if Prime Minister Hu Jun was such a brainless person in the first place, and this wave of supernatural people along the way was all sent by him by dispatching troops.
It's a pity that these supernatural people died heroically, but the losses caused to the Imperial Expeditionary Force were very few.
When the expeditionary force of the Sona Empire rushed to the periphery of the capital of the Silang Empire in a hurry, Hu Jun finally couldn't bear it anymore and dispatched the regular army to start a frontal confrontation.
But it's a pity that there is no country on this planet that can defeat the Sona Empire from a frontal battle.
In fact, if it is based on the supernatural person as the backbone, surrounded by physical masters and ordinary soldiers, plus a staff officer with super command ability, the Xilang Empire may not be without a fight, but it is a pity that in this world, there are not so many ifs...... (To be continued......)
