Episode 7 The Battle of Redan City (1)
A cannon hiding in the bunker of a dilapidated building suddenly roared, firing a roaring cannonball straight ahead. But a moment later, before the sightman in charge of correcting the shot could release his spiritual sense to check whether the shell had hit the target, a red cloud of fire fell from the sky and landed on the bunker where the cannon was. But the attack of this fire spirit power was so powerful that under the scorching flames, the protective shield could not be supported for a few seconds, and the flames fell violently into the position of the artillery, and the entire building was instantly engulfed in flames.
At the moment when the fire ignited, several figures with flames all over their bodies rushed out of the building in a panic, wailing and rolling desperately on the ground in an attempt to extinguish the flames on their bodies. But this flame is by no means extraordinary, but with a trace of strange spiritual power, no matter how desperately these people roll, they just can't extinguish the flame. After a few moments, the tumbling figure finally stopped struggling, and the artillery position was completely destroyed.
However, the shell fired by this artillery position just now before it was destroyed by the fire cloud accurately hit a giant puppet walking through a low house two kilometers away, and the powerful armor-piercing bullet passed through the puppet's chest. With a huge explosion, the entire puppet's body was also shaken back by the powerful impact of the cannonball, and after shaking a few times, it finally fell to the ground weakly and lost its combat effectiveness.
"Hmph! I didn't expect these things made of ordinary materials to be so powerful! It seems that I was right to take the risk of taking the action myself. ”
Above the battlefield, a figure looked at the artillery position destroyed by it below, and secretly surprised in his heart, just now, it was the fire cloud released by a red long sword magic weapon in his hand that destroyed the artillery position.
From the pitch-black armor and eye-catching signs on this person's body, it can be seen that this person is actually a general of the Qin army, and he is also a strong infant realm with advanced cultivation, just now it was he who flew over the battlefield and shot continuously, destroying seven or eight Blue Star Army artillery positions in a row, opening a passage for the attack of the Qin army's forward troops.
However, after this person made a move, he was immediately discovered by the Blue Star Army and became the target of concentrated shooting. More than a dozen machine guns were immediately fired from the Blue Star Army's position in the distance, and they fired intensively at his position. In the barrage like raindrops, this infant realm Qin general also had to release a defensive magic weapon to defend while circling around to dodge.
Behind this Qin army, nearly 100,000 Qin troops were forming more than a dozen attack teams, constantly advancing forward. And after these tens of thousands of Qin army vanguard troops, there are more than 300,000 Qin army troops close behind, covering the rear of dozens of square meters square kilometers. The target of the Qin army's attack was a narrow block two or three kilometers in front of the Qin general, and it was the cannonballs, magic weapons and spells that were constantly fired there that were struggling to block the Qin army's advance. But no matter how fierce the firepower of its counterattack was, the neighborhoods controlled by the defenders were gradually occupied and seized by the Qin army little by little.
Obviously, this is the main battlefield of the fierce battle between the Blue Star Army and the Qin Army, Ruidan City.
Shen Hao struggled to sacrifice the flying sword magic weapon that trembled slightly, once again channeling the little mana in his body to the sword body, and the other hand tried to play a few magic tricks. As he swung his sword again, a thick rainbow light swept out, colliding violently with five other rainbow lights in the air. The powerful mana shockwave made him unable to stabilize his body, and he almost couldn't help but fall from the air. Although he had almost reached the limit, Shen Hao couldn't care about the exhaustion of his body, and hurriedly gathered his mana again, his eyes firmly fixed on the five Infant Realm Qin generals who were constantly moving in front of him. The confrontation just now was the one that broke out between him using the Spirit Gathering Spell and these five Qin generals.
If it weren't for the mana support of the 30,000 people behind Shen Hao who formed a battle formation, it would have been impossible to resist the attack of five infant realm powerhouses with his strength in the middle of the Dan Realm. Although his body could no longer withstand such a huge amount of mana, Shen Hao knew very well that if he was defeated, the entire battle array would immediately collapse, and the hundreds of thousands of troops behind him would be completely defeated. Shen Hao had already made up his mind, even if he died on the battlefield today, he would never take a step back!
Just half a day ago, the Blue Star Army was still firmly occupying the position of Ruidan City, and the four group armies led by Shen Hao, with a total army of more than 300,000 people, were facing off against the more than 100,000 Qin troops in Qiongling's position dozens of miles away.
Although they had lost their position a few days earlier, the Blue Star Army had quickly established a new defensive position in the city of Ruidan, which was not far away, and all the inhabitants of the city had already withdrawn to the eastern region more than a month ago, and the 300,000-strong army had turned the empty city into a solid fortress, built a large number of pillboxes and positions, and laid countless mines, traps and formation prohibitions. Shen Hao was very confident that with the strong defensive offensive in Ruidan City, it would definitely be able to greatly stop the pace of the Qin army's advance, and this small city would also become a new bridgehead for the Blue Star Army to counterattack the Qin army.
But the Qin army's offensive came so strongly that it was completely unexpected by Shen Hao. The Qin army suddenly quietly increased its troops by hundreds of thousands overnight, making the number of Qin troops who had entered the Blue Star Country reach a million, which suddenly exceeded the number of the Blue Star Army in Ruidan City. And Qin Wangzheng personally took command, quietly deployed several large armies, launched a surprise attack, and killed Ruidan City in one go.
At the moment when the battle broke out, the Qin army's attacks came like a tidal wave. The overwhelming array of magic weapons and spells covered most of the city in the blink of an eye. Tens of thousands of Qin soldiers performed the Wind and Fire Technique together, and a huge wall of fire with a height of ten meters and a length of a thousand meters rose on the ground, starting from the outskirts of the city and burning all the way to the center of the city. If it weren't for Shen Hao's timely organization of the monks to use the Hydration Technique and Fire Extinguishing Technique to block it, I am afraid that the entire city would have been swallowed up by this terrifying fire.
But even so, in the small half of Ruidan City that was burned by the fire, the thousands of fortified positions that had been arranged with great difficulty were also lost, and the Blue Star Army was caught off guard by this blow, and tens of thousands of casualties were inflicted. The originally prepared defensive position was suddenly weakened by a layer.
The Qin army immediately launched an attack from the area where the fire had been attacked, the puppet giants and heavily armored soldiers charged forward, the light-armored soldiers who cast magic weapons and spells formed a battle formation to launch the most fierce attack, and the monks who were proficient in the earth followers quietly dived into the ground and waited for an opportunity to attack. In the air, an army of fifty or sixty thousand crows continued to launch various attacks on the ground, and the howl of the crows and the fluttering of their wings completely controlled the sky of the entire Ruidan City.
Under the powerful offensive of the Qin army, the Blue Star Army was defeated and retreated, and lost half of Ruidan City at once. At the critical moment of the situation, Shen Hao, who had rich combat experience, immediately organized the defenders to resist, stubbornly held several important central positions without relaxation, and fought a tragic street battle with the Qin army in the narrow urban area.
But the Qin army is worthy of being a powerful army that conquered the countries of Dongyan Continent, and its soldiers are all monks above the late stage of the Qi Realm, whether it is magic weapons or spells, they are the best in all countries, and the combat effectiveness of individual soldiers is the first of all countries, which is a few points more powerful than the Blue Star Army. Even though Shen Hao desperately organized a counterattack and held his position to the death, he still continued to lose his position under the powerful offensive of the Qin army, retreating to less than one-eighth of the urban area, and the number of defenders of the Blue Star Army was also reduced from 300,000 to less than 100,000, with extremely heavy casualties and an extremely grim situation.
At this time, Shen Hao had no way to retreat, and the little remaining position was constantly compressed by the Qin army, and if he took another step back, he would be forced out of the city. But if they lose their positions because of this, the soldiers of the Blue Star Army, which are mainly infantry, are by no means the opponents of the Qin army, which is good at mobile combat. What's more, they have been surrounded on three sides, and the Qin army has quietly sent a force to go around to the rear of the city defended by Shen Hao's army, intending to cut off its retreat and surround the Blue Star Army on all sides like "making dumplings", and Shen Hao's army has fallen into the most dangerous situation.
What's more, at this time, the Qin army also began to send high-ranking monks to attack. Six infant realm Qin generals flew over the battlefield, exerting amazing magical powers, vigorously attacking the strong defensive positions of the Blue Star Army, and destroying dozens of artillery pieces at once, which was the biggest reliance of the Blue Star Army to resist the attack of the Qin army.
In order to resist the Qin generals, Shen Hao had to strike together with the other three commanders of the Danjing Group Army, each leading a force to form a 10,000-person battle formation, standing in four front-line positions to resist the attack of the Qin general. Relying on the mana of the 10,000-person battle array, although they temporarily blocked the attack of the Qin army, because the target of the 10,000-person battle array was huge, they soon became the target of the Qin army's attack. The Qin army's countless magic weapons and spell attacks fell on these four battle formations, each attack greatly consumed the defenders' remaining mana, and the four protective shields were crumbling, and it was estimated that they would not be able to support it for long.
At this time, at the end of the Qin army's position in the city, the King of Qin, who had been silently watching the battle, finally couldn't help it, and his powerful spiritual sense swept through the entire city, and suddenly ordered: "Immediately dispatch the Demonization Legion, the widow has no patience to consume these Blue Star eggs anymore!"
With the issuance of King Qin's order, a huge black gas suddenly emerged from the Qin army's position, and groups of black-armored soldiers lined up to form a neat phalanx. Different from the ordinary soldiers of the Qin Army, these soldiers all looked indifferent, their faces were expressionless, their eyes were red, and their bodies were even more bloody and bloody, like evil ghosts emerging from the depths of hell.
This demonic army is the latest demonized soldier trained by the Qin army. The Qin army infused the body of ordinary soldiers with demonic energy, stimulated their potential, and made them break through to the limit, and they were even able to perform several powerful demonic attacks, which were several times more powerful than ordinary soldiers. However, this method also made these soldiers gradually lose their sense of autonomy and become a group of machines that only know how to kill, and become the terrible pawns of King Qin to conquer the world.
At this time, a group of soldiers flew out of the ranks of the Qin army, slapping the magic bag on their waists in unison, and flew out clumps of scarlet liquid, emitting a disgusting stench, which was actually human blood. Guided by their psychic spells, the blood was sprinkled on the bodies of these demonized soldiers, and then quickly sucked into their bodies.
After a while, the demonized soldiers who had been watered with blood suddenly seemed to go berserk, their faces were full of grandeur, and their bodies were full of powerful desire to kill, if it weren't for the prohibition on their bodies to tightly control them, I am afraid that they would have rushed out like crazy beasts.
"Kill me!" A Qin army commander waved his sword and pointed at the Blue Star Army position in front of him, and the more than 3,000 demonized soldiers suddenly burst out of demonic qi on their bodies, letting out bursts of angry roars, and pounced forward at an astonishing speed.
