Episode 24 Fierce battle before the battle
"Disperse, disperse, disperse!"
Qin General An He shouted hysterically, and in the face of the crazy artillery bombardment, his soldiers suffered heavy losses. What made him even more terrified was that several spiritual senses swept from the Blue Star Army's position and locked tightly on him, causing no fewer cannonballs to fall on his head than anywhere else.
"Bang!" another shell exploded above his head, although he released a protective shield in time to withstand the attack, but the powerful bombardment still made his face pale, and the mana in his body rolled endlessly, almost uncontrollable, and he struggled to exert pressure to stabilize. Fortunately, at this time, the Qin Army Corps also quickly dispersed, and the battle formation originally composed of 30,000 people was dispersed into more than 200 battle formations of more than 100 people, and continued to rush towards the position of the Blue Star Army. It's just that after this terrible bombing, the Qin army also paid a lot of price for thousands of casualties.
"Keep going!"
Qin Jiang An He shouted angrily. The bombardment of the Blue Star Army did not continue after the army dispersed, but the sudden attack just now also made it embarrassed, and the thought of encountering such an embarrassing situation before he had even walked in front of the enemy naturally made this extremely proud and arrogant Qin general very dissatisfied, and he was eager to kill the Blue Star Army position immediately, and use magic weapons to stab and tear the hateful Blue Star Army to pieces one by one.
"It's a pity, the army formation was dispersed so quickly, and it was impossible to kill a few more Qin troops. In the distance, on the position of the Blue Star Army, Schroeder shook his head and sighed.
"It's already good. In this round of attacks, we have almost killed more than a thousand Qin troops, at least we have broken their large array of defenses. It's okay to continue firing artillery attacks now, but the effect may not be as obvious as it was earlier. Linda said.
"Well, the Qin army is scattered into small warbands, and the movement speed is also a lot faster, it is indeed not easy to attack, why don't you continue to attack the first few small warbands? Schroeder suggested.
"Well, let the artillery continue to attack the nearest Qin army, especially their battle puppets and long-range weapons, which pose the greatest threat to us, but be careful to save ammunition. Linda thought for a moment and said immediately.
"Understood! Now that the Qin army has entered the second preset area, the battle in the air is almost over, right? It's time for the bomber formation to be dispatched, right?"
"Let's do it now!"
In the sky, the battle between Liu Nan and Qin General Yu Miao continued, but the number of the Demon Crow Clans was less than a hundred, and most of the fighters remained. At this moment, the sound of the propeller rotor vibrating violently was heard again in the air in the distance, which made Yu Miao startled.
"You still have reinforcements?!" he blurted out, barely believing his spiritual sense, and he clearly sensed that more than a hundred warplanes rushed out of the clouds in the distance, speeding towards the battlefield.
"Haha! Didn't you arrive first?! Today is the day of the destruction of you little bird meat targets, and your little remaining rookie army will soon be taken to the fire by us for barbecue!" Liu Nan wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth and shouted excitedly. The opponent in front of him cultivated a realm higher than him, and even the fighter he piloted was destroyed, although he did not fall much behind after a big battle, but it also cost him a lot of effort, and now the reinforcements have arrived, and finally let him earn back some face in momentum.
Yu Miao's face gloomily glanced at the Demon Crow Legion below, as well as the Qin Army War Group that was constantly moving on the ground, his face was gloomy and hesitant for a moment, and finally made up his mind, and said to Liu Nan viciously: "Today's matter is over for the time being, we will not stop!" After speaking, he ignored Liu Nan anymore, turned into a cloud of black gas, and withdrew in the direction of the Qin army's base camp. Hearing the order of the commander-in-chief, the Raven troops, who were engaged in a struggle with the fighters, immediately got rid of their opponents and all of them were out of the battle.
Seeing the Demon Crow Corps retreating, Liu Nan also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. This is not only because he is quite laborious in fighting against Yu Miao, but also because he also knows very well in his heart that after a big battle, the fuel and ammunition of the fighter are almost exhausted, and if he continues to fight, I am afraid that it will be his own troops who will withdraw from the battlefield. Therefore, as soon as he saw the retreat of the Qin Army's Demon Raven Legion, he did not order the fighters to pursue, but pretended to be victorious and continued to hover in the air, and only after a while did he order to return.
In the distance, the supporting fighter formation finally arrived, this is the backhand arranged by Linda and Schroeder, there are more than 10 fighters and more than 80 bombers, their target is not the Qin army's crow troops, but the Qin army's troops on the ground. The main bomber model of this air force formation is also the latest "vulture" dive bomber equipped by the Blue Star Army. Capable of carrying 24 rockets and four 80-kilogram bombs each, the bombers can dive from high altitudes at breakneck speeds and can accurately hit any target on the ground. In addition, it is equipped with various ground attack weapons such as heavy machine guns, which can be said to be the nemesis of the ground forces.
Under the cover of fighter planes, the "vulture" dive bomber flew over the battlefield, at this time the Qin army's crow troops had already withdrawn from the battlefield, under the command of Liu Nan, more than 80 fighters were like hungry vultures, with huge claws and swooping down on the prey on the ground.
At this time, dozens of small warbands of the Qin Army on the ground had approached the Blue Star Army more than ten kilometers away, and from here to the Blue Star Army base, it was an uneven hill, overgrown with dense bushes. Although the Qin army could move on the top of the bushes through flotation, the speed was higher than on flat ground, which greatly facilitated the targeting of bombers in the air.
More than 80 bombers swooped down from a high altitude, and when they dived at high speed, they made a violent and sharp roar, which reached the ears of the Qin soldiers, as if some terrible giant magic weapon had fallen from the sky and was about to smash on their heads. Qin General An He hurriedly ordered all legions to release protective shields to protect them, and at the same time launched a counterattack.
But the speed of the dive bombers was so amazing that some of the Qin regiments had not had time to defend or counterattack before the bombs and rockets dropped by the bombers fell on their heads. In order to increase the power of the attack, Lin Da's previous plan was to concentrate four or five planes on one target, so hundreds of rockets and bombs fell on the head of a hundred-man Qin army battle group at the same time.
A huge explosion sounded on the ground again, and the dozen or so Qin army battle groups that rushed to the forefront were hit by bombers in the air and drowned in a ball of fire. After the explosion, the battle group of more than 100 people was blown to pieces, and the soldiers of the Qin army at the center of the explosion were blown to pieces on the spot, and the other soldiers were scattered by the blast, and the entire army was in a mess, with most of the casualties and immediately lost its combat effectiveness.
"Knock them down for me!"
Qin General An He saw that more than a dozen legion soldiers were wiped out in front of him, he was really anxious and angry, and immediately raised the long sword in his hand and smashed a bomber flying close above his head with people and planes. The generals of the Dan Realm behind him also took action one after another, and some of the battle groups even immediately sacrificed the magic weapon spirit gathering technique, or shot various long-range precision attack magic weapons, frantically attacking the bombers above their heads. A fierce attack from the Qin army immediately knocked down more than ten low-flying fighters.
"Bastard!" Liu Nan in the air saw that he had lost his fighter plane and pilot, and he clenched his fists in anger, eager to go down and fight the Qin army in person immediately. At this moment, a psychic voice came into his ears, which was Linda's order: "Don't be impulsive! The bombers killed many of them, and the soldiers did not die in vain. Now hurry up and withdraw the planes and get ready for a third attack!"
Lin Da's order did not need to be questioned, and Liu Nan could not oppose it, he hesitated for a moment, but immediately issued an order to retreat, and dozens of fighters who were still in the air immediately turned around and retreated, exceeding the flight speed of the Dan Realm monks, and quickly withdrew from the battlefield.
Seeing the retreat of the Blue Star Army's fighters, Qin Jun An He's expression was better. At this time, the Qin army had reached the range of the Qin army's long-range weapons from the Blue Star Army's position, and An He couldn't wait to order the troops to attack.
On the more than two hundred flying chariots in the Qin Army Legion, the soldiers began to operate the bed spirit crossbow to aim at the position of the Blue Star Army, and the mana spirit arrows on it flickered with bursts of coercion, condensing a lot of strength. In addition, a formation was formed in each army formation, and powerful mana attack light balls were formed in the sky above the Qin army's military formation. At the same time, dozens of huge knives, swords, hammers, guns, halberds and other huge and simple magic weapons were also sacrificed in the sky above dozens of military formations, and it was the long-range magic weapon of the Qin army, emitting a powerful spiritual pressure, aimed at the position of the Blue Star Army in the distance.
Under the order of the Qin army, more than two hundred attacks of various types began to rise from the Qin army's formation, shooting fiercely towards the position of the Blue Star Army, and its speed and power were not inferior to the artillery of the Blue Star Army.
Seeing the dense attacks from the opposite side, even Linda's face couldn't help but change slightly, and immediately ordered: "Open the protective shield!"
Suddenly, a huge aura suddenly rose inside the Blue Star Army base, enveloping the entire base. At this time, the attack of the Qin army also came to the front. The sky lit up with various colors, and with a loud crackling sound, the Qin army's long-range spirit arrows, array light balls, and giant magic weapons blasted into the sky above the large array one by one, making a deafening sound, and the entire base trembled under this huge attack force.
Seeing this scene, Qin Jun An He smiled slightly, he had been pressed and beaten by the Blue Star Army just now, and he had lost more than one-tenth of his people, but now he was finally able to fight back, and his momentum was not weak, so he regained some pride and pride.
"Kill! The rear army formation continues to attack, and the front row army line charges! Kill the Blue Star Army base!" Qin Jun An He ordered loudly.
Under his command, rows of long-range attacks began to shoot out from the Qin army, firing at the artillery in the Blue Star Army base, setting off a huge blast wave in their respective positions.
In the position of the Blue Star Army, the protective cover was struggling to resist the powerful attack of the Qin army, before the attack power of the Qin army, even Lin Da was surprised, he didn't expect that after three attacks in front of them, he would be able to launch a counterattack so quickly, which was by no means the same as their previous opponent, which showed the strength of this enemy even more.
"Linda, less than half of the shield's energy remains!" Schroeder reminded with some concern.
"Well, I know, hold on a little longer! Wait until they enter the battle area of the 7th Corps!" Linda said through gritted teeth.
The Qin army continued to approach the Blue Star Army base at a rapid pace, and one by one the hundred-man army formation climbed over the dense jungle, forcing through layers of obstacles, and floating forward on the treetops. The Qin army naturally knew that the Blue Star Army would definitely take a lot of lurking forces in the jungle, so they maintained a high degree of combat readiness during the march and dealt with enemies from any direction at will.
Soon, dozens of military formations of the Qin Army finally rushed to a range less than three or four kilometers away from the Blue Star Army base, which was also the range of ordinary soldiers' magic bows. Ten thousand arrows began to fire in the Qin army's formation, and with amazing momentum, they shot overwhelmingly towards the Blue Star Army's protective shield.
Seeing that the Blue Star Army's position was submerged in their attack moves, the soldiers of the Qin Army were all excited and accelerated their advance. At this moment, in the jungle below a certain military formation at the front of the charge, dozens of rockets of high-speed fire suddenly fired, and exploded violently below the military formation. The powerful blast wave of the explosion shattered the hundred-man army to pieces, causing heavy casualties. Not only that, but the same rocket attacks were fired one after another from the foot of the Qin army formation, drowning the Qin army troops charging in the front in a wave of explosions.
