Episode 37 The Offensive of the Mortal Army
On a low hill, more than a dozen mortal soldiers were wielding several 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and grenades, firing fiercely at the approaching Vietnamese troops below. Three meters in front of them, several oval-shaped magic weapons were hidden under the earth and stone bunkers, sending out a thick spiritual power barrier more than ten meters long to block the front of the position.www.biquge.info Although the hill has been attacked by Vietnamese soldiers many times with spell weapons, it still retains a certain degree of protection, and the seemingly thin protective shield can continue to resist long-range attacks by Vietnamese soldiers for a while.
Behind this group of mortal soldiers, there were three monk soldiers with slightly different costumes. The first one meditated with his eyes closed, while the spiritual sense searched the surroundings, while the other two monks let go of their weapons and floated in front of them, keeping their eyes on the lookout.
This combat detachment composed of monks and mortals was a squad combat detachment of the newly formed 13th Garrison Regiment of the subordinate army. Not long ago, the 13th Garrison Corps, under the orders of the Van Army Headquarters, marched to the capital of Chuannan County in the central part of Guiguo, and after defeating several small Vietnamese patrols, it approached the capital of Chuannan County and occupied a strategic place.
However, before the 13th Garrison Corps could consolidate its position and launch a full-scale attack on Linchuan Province, it was immediately counterattacked by the Vietnamese garrison in Chuannan County. At present, this combat squad is a unit that is defending positions on the front line.
At this time, it was already June of the 12th year of the Blue Star Age, and the Guiyue War had reached its fourth year. At this time, the Gui army and the Vietnamese army were still engaged in a protracted confrontation in Xiangcheng, and neither side had enough strength to destroy the other. The alliance of the four clans took advantage of the fact that the royal family had no time to separate themselves, and launched a large-scale attack on the area occupied by the royal family, occupying a large area of territory. Even so, the occupation of the Four Clans Alliance was indeed insignificant to the royal family, and all three parties maintained a roughly balanced balance of power.
The force that broke the deadlock in Gui was the Blue Star Autonomous Group. Since they occupied the three counties in the south of Guiguo more than a year ago, the Blue Star Autonomous Group has carried out a nationwide cultivation activity, and the talents in the area under its jurisdiction have been numerous, the people's hearts have been cohesive, and the strength of all aspects such as cultivation and industry has been comprehensively enhanced. A large number of colleges, factories, mines, and farms have been set up in various parts of the territory, and a large number of modern industrial and agricultural products are produced every day, providing sufficient material support for the expansion of the autonomous regiment.
With the growth of strength, the autonomous regiment's advance into various areas of Guiguo has also accelerated, and the entire area controlled by the Blue Star Clan has completely opened a state of war, activating all the forces that can be mobilized, and going all out to mobilize for war.
Under the leadership of Arden and other geoscientists, the geoscientists of the Blue Star Autonomous Group have carried out a comprehensive study of the Xiuzhen system, and tried to combine it with modern human science and technology. With the help of the local talents with certain scientific qualities cultivated in the past few years, the autonomous regiment imitated and manufactured a number of low-level magic weapons and combat weapons, and equipped a large number of mortal troops, so that the cultivation strength of the mortal army has been greatly enhanced.
For example, the antler magic weapon used by this combat team is the latest standard defensive magic weapon to be equipped. The Fan army named this magic weapon as the positional defense shield, which is shaped like a shield, about two meters wide and one meter high, and weighs no more than dozens of catties, which can be carried by two soldiers. During the battle, this kind of protective shield is mainly placed in front of the position, activated by the monk using a special control magic weapon, each defensive shield can form a fan-shaped spiritual protective shield with twenty square meters after unfolding ten meters in front of it, and its function is the same as the monk's spiritual shield, which can resist the attack of various combat weapons and spells.
This kind of defensive magic weapon is generally used in combination, and after several defensive shields are placed together and activated, they can form a complete defensive magic array, which can resist the mana attacks of ordinary terrain monks, and give sufficient protection to the soldiers in the protective shield.
However, this kind of magic weapon also has certain shortcomings, that is, it is large in size, inconvenient to move, and it needs to consume spar as energy, which is a great difficulty for the mortal army who lacks effective means of transportation and spar. However, even with such and such shortcomings, the mortal army still equipped the mortal cultivation combined corps on the front line with a lot of this equipment, because this kind of magic weapon can provide mortal soldiers to resist the attacks of monks, and combined with modern guns, even if there are only a small number of low-level monk soldiers in the garrison legion, they also have the strength to confront the ordinary monk army.
Now, it is such a Van Xiu combined combat detachment that is fighting with a small detachment of the Vietnamese army. Protected by defensive shields, the mortal soldiers stubbornly defended the hilltop position, while firing fiercely at the attacking Vietnamese troops at the foot of the mountain with machine guns and howitzers.
At the foot of the mountain, dozens of Vietnamese soldiers attacking the hill were blessed with protective spirit shields on their bodies, while carefully dodging bullets and grenades fired by the mortal army, and trying to get close to the hilltop battlefield.
The defensive spirit shield of ordinary Qi Realm monks can only resist the fire of machine gun bullets at a distance of fifty meters, and the defense against bomb explosion attacks at a distance of ten meters is not enough, once they enter the killing range of the gun, even if the defense is fully open, it will not help.
Helplessly, the weapons in the hands of the Vietnamese soldiers were only less than 30 meters away, and they were really beyond the reach of the whip under the fierce long-range suppression of the guns of the Fan army. In order to avoid the gunfire, the Vietnamese soldiers released defensive spirit shields while dodging left and right, looking for all kinds of cover and concealment, hoping to take the opportunity to approach the mountain.
But how could the soldiers of the mortal army let them approach easily? The dense firepower has been suppressing the attack of the Vietnamese soldiers, and once the Vietnamese soldiers dare to show half of their heads, or want to rely on their own defenses to rush forward, the dense rain of bullets will immediately fall. On the ground less than 50 meters away from the Van army's position, there were already five or six Vietnamese soldiers whose fate was unknown, which was the masterpiece of the Van army's guns.
"Bastard! Why are these mortal guns so powerful! When they hit the shield, they need to consume so much spiritual power to resist! How is it possible that the head wants us to capture this mountain in a stick of incense!"
The Vietnamese officer who led the Vietnamese army to attack cursed angrily in his heart, and at the same time hurriedly released several attack spells towards the Fan army position in the distance. But these spells couldn't help the defensive magic weapons of mortals at all, and the seemingly gorgeous spells hit the spiritual power defense wall, flashing a dazzling light, and the defense wall only trembled a few times, without any change at all.
The Van army responded to the Vietnamese officer with dozens of machine-gun rounds and a grenade. The explosive shrapnel exploded three meters around him, sending him and his protective shield several meters away, but fortunately there was a boulder in the place where he fell, otherwise he would have been shot by the mortal army on the hill.
The Vietnamese officer endured the wound caused by shrapnel in his shoulder and took out a healing charm and pasted it, which stopped the injury. After peeking a few glances at the position of the mortal army at the top of the mountain from behind the boulder, he suddenly had a plan, and immediately said a few orders with the subordinates scattered nearby with the teleportation technique.
Among the Vietnamese soldiers who were dodging the shots, more than a dozen people immediately rushed out, and each cast a long-range attack spell to shoot at the Fan position. The power of the attack spells issued by more than a dozen Qi Realm cultivators was naturally not small, and after colliding violently with the mountain's defensive spirit shield, it emitted bursts of strong vibrations and dazzling lights. The mortals behind the spirit shield were stimulated by the bright light, and they couldn't open their eyes for a while, so they stopped shooting one after another, covering their eyes and rubbing their eyes.
At this moment, all the Vietnamese soldiers scattered in all corners jumped up almost at the same time, and pounced on the hilltop position like tigers and wolves. The distance of tens of meters was only a few seconds for an Qi Realm cultivator with the teleportation technique fully opened. The next moment, several Vietnamese soldiers rushed to the defensive spirit shield like a tiger.
"Kill!"
The Vietnamese soldiers knew that time was limited, so they used all their mana to drive the weapon to smash the spirit shield, and a loud bang came out, and the spirit shield suddenly dimmed a little, crumbling, and was on the verge of collapse.
At this time, the three monk soldiers of the Fan Army finally made a move, and two of them almost simultaneously drove the weapons to attack the Vietnamese soldiers who rushed to the front, and the two knife-shaped weapons flew out, turning into a light curtain, blocking the front of the spirit shield, and one of them violently injected mana into the antler magic weapon that issued the spirit shield. The three of them blocked one go, and in a few moments, the spirit shield was restored to its original state.
After a while, the mortal soldiers also immediately recovered from the glare just now, and when they saw the Vietnamese soldiers who had already killed in front of them, they were surprised and immediately picked up their guns and opened fire. Bullets whizzed out, hitting several Vietnamese soldiers who rushed to the front on the spot. The other Vietnamese soldiers behind him saw that the mortal soldiers had recovered so quickly, and their faces suddenly changed greatly, and they immediately scattered and fled, and the Vietnamese army was the first to go the fastest.
"Withdraw!" the Vietnamese officer shouted, not even caring about his subordinates behind him, and fled into the distance without looking back. He was completely frightened by the fire of the mortal army, and he never had the courage to continue attacking the place until he had figured out a way to conquer the mountain.
Seeing the defeat and flight of the Vietnamese army, of course the soldiers of the mortal army would not let them go so easily, and just wanted to aim and shoot. Suddenly, hundreds of tongues of fire were fired from another direction in the distance, hitting the Vietnamese troops in the distance one after another, and several shells exploded in the air.
The Van soldiers stared in astonishment in the direction in which they had killed the Vietnamese soldiers, while the three monk soldiers looked in awe. When they walked a hundred meters away, the mortal soldiers saw that this group of soldiers who had suddenly appeared was actually friendly soldiers armed with all kinds of guns and heavy weapons! In the ranks, there was a soldier carrying a large flag, on which a giant dragon with teeth and claws waving.
"It's General Lin!
The monk soldier at the head of the group saw a mighty man in front of the group, and hurriedly saluted.
This man is Linda, and the army behind him is a certain unit of the Flying Dragon Corps under his command.
"Lieutenant Zhang, it turns out that you are stationed here! How is General Zhang Ying's plan to attack Linchuan Mansion going? How is the offensive of the Vietnamese army's counterattack?" Lin Da recognized this person as a family monk recommended by the Zhang family of the World Clan Alliance to join the Fan Army, and immediately asked him about the battle situation.
"Report to your lordship, General Zhang has led us to attack this place yesterday, and has not officially started the siege yet. The Vietnamese army has already begun to organize a counterattack. However, the number of Vietnamese troops stationed here is only more than 1,000, and if we attack the city immediately, we should be able to take the city quickly, but General Zhang only ordered us to set up defenses outside the city, and did not let us attack. The monk soldier said that he was quite confident in this expedition, but he didn't understand why General Zhang Ying didn't attack the city immediately.
"Oh, it arrived yesterday? It was just a siege and not a siege? Haha, I see! It seems that Zhang Ying, this kid, does have the ability to fight! Deliberately show weakness and lure the Vietnamese army out of the city to fight, so that we can give full play to our firepower superiority and minimize the damage to the people in the city by besieging the city. Okay!" Lynda nodded and laughed.
Hearing Linda's words, the monk soldier suddenly realized. At this moment, a burst of violent explosions suddenly came from a distance, and it sounded like a fierce battle had begun.
Lin Da swept the distance with his spiritual sense, smiled slightly, and said, "As expected, Zhang Ying has already surrounded the Vietnamese army out of the city. Okay, now it's our turn! Brothers!
Lin Da shouted, suddenly turned into a glow, and flew towards the rumbling battlefield in the distance, and the Flying Dragon Corps behind him collectively shouted, and immediately followed, the soldiers were excited about the upcoming battle, and their hearts were full of belief in victory!
