Episode 14 The First Battle of the Qin Army (2)

At the forefront of the Qin army, the first Qin general in the middle was rough, with a full face and beard, which looked unusual. He swept towards Changshan City with his spiritual sense, and suddenly showed a strange expression, and said, "It's really strange, this time, the two armies of Yan and Zhao actually dare to go out of the city to face the battle?

A Qin Jun with a scar on his face next to him also said: "Well, it seems that in addition to the Yan and Zhao armies, there are also a lot of unfamiliar breaths, could it be that these people are the Blue Star Country support troops mentioned in the intelligence?"

Another one-eyed Qin general sneered and said disdainfully: "It's really ridiculous! Most of these Blue Star Country soldiers are mid-to-late stage Qi refining cultivators, and they didn't come to fight us by sending such an army to fight us!"

When the other two heard this, they immediately laughed, and the Luo Hu Qin general, who was the leader, suddenly had a fierce glint in his eyes, and said: "Okay! Since this group of so-called coalition forces is going to meet us, then we can't be polite, let's let them see the military might of our Qin army! Go ahead! Let's bring death to them!"

The two Qin generals on the side immediately comprehended and immediately issued battle orders one after another, and the Qin army suddenly accelerated the speed of its advance. The whole force was like a wild beast, over the hills, over one hill, and finally rushed to a vast river valley, four or five kilometers in front of them, it was the city of Changshan with another mountain in its back.

At this moment, outside the city walls of Changshan City, two armies were gathering one after the other, which were the Flying Leopard Corps of the Blue Star Country, and the Yan Zhao Army led by Le Cheng and Peng An.

"All obey the order, advance in an offensive formation, form a formation immediately after entering the range of the magic bow, and shoot at my command!" Hu Qin, the leader, flew over the Qin army and commanded loudly.

Under his order, the entire Qin army suddenly boiled. The phalanx, which had originally been in the shape of a long tongue, suddenly took on a triangular formation, with thirty flying chariots in the front, followed closely by archers, array fighters, and heavy mage soldiers, followed by hundreds of hoplites, and finally more than a thousand lightly armed infantry.

One of the advantages of the Qin army's strength is that the range of magic weapons far exceeds that of other countries. The magic bow used by the soldiers of the Qin soldiers alone requires a monk above the middle stage of the Qi Realm to be driven, and it can shoot three arrows at a time, and can attack three different targets, with a range of more than 3,000 meters, and the power is equivalent to the full force of the Qi Realm monk. In addition to this one-man bow, the Qin army also had a bed spirit crossbow, which was an enlarged version of the magic bow that was mounted on a flying cart and could attack any target within ten kilometers, and the power was equivalent to the full force of a terrain monk.

Before each battle, the Qin army will carry out intensive shooting at the target, magic bows, array soldiers and heavy long-distance magic weapons to attack together, first give the enemy a fatal blow at a long distance, and then send hoplites and heavy puppets and other magic weapons to charge, or form a battle group that can move quickly to sacrifice magic weapons to gather spirit skills to attack, and completely destroy the enemy with a powerful offensive. In countless battles in the past, the armies of many countries were often beaten to pieces when they launched long-range attacks, not to mention the charge of the shield attack regiment behind, so the Qin army has always been invincible in battles and rarely encountered defeats.

But this time, they were facing the Blue Star Army, a modern army equipped with longer-range and more powerful weapons!

"This is the Qin army? It seems that they don't plan to warm up, so they will directly start attacking. That's good, and we're going to do that. Schroeder quickly observed the Qin army's military formation with a telescope and eagle eyes, and immediately judged the Qin army's battle intentions. Then he immediately gave the order to fight.

"Hard, fire!" Schroeder said with his psychic sense.

"Roger! We're fucking unbearable! Guys! Fire! Hit me hard!" On the hill in the distance, a well-concealed artillery squad began to project fire, and 24 120mm howitzers fell into the sky above the Qin army as if they had eyes.

The leader of Luo Hu Qin was the first to discover the flying cannonballs, and he didn't have time to know that the attack was coming from He, and in shock, he immediately reacted quickly and took the initiative to defend. He put the long sword in his hand, and instantly formed a defensive shield with a diameter of twenty meters above his head, and the mana in his body was continuously injected into it, making the protective shield even thicker. The moment he released the shield, the first shell fell, hitting the shield accurately.

This kind of artillery shell newly equipped by the Republican Army is much more powerful than the previous cannonball that used black powder, so when the shell exploded, General Luo Hu Qin felt a powerful impact force blast in, like a boulder smashed down from the air, almost making him uncontrollable, his body shook hugely, and he barely controlled the mana to support it.

However, when the second shell fell, Luo Hu Qinjiang's face finally changed greatly, and the continuous burst power caused the protective shield that had just been formed to suffer a powerful impact, and the powerful pressure transmitted from the top of his head increased several times in an instant, and the protective shield frantically absorbed the mana on his body because of resisting the explosion. When the third cannonball fell, the Qin general finally couldn't support it, the mana in his body was exhausted, blood was spitting from his mouth, and he fell from the air like a kite that had dropped its string.

"Not good!" The other two Qin army captains behind him hurriedly flew forward, and these two people didn't care about taking the falling Qin general, and hurriedly released a protective shield to resist. A protective shield that was slightly larger than the previous one was formed in an instant. However, the two also knew that they would not be able to hold out for long, and while injecting mana into the shield mania, they loudly ordered the troops to defend themselves.

The Qin army deserved to be a well-trained army, and immediately flew out of the ranks of more than a thousand soldiers, flew to the side of the two captains, and formed a defensive battle group in a moment, each soldier released the protective spirit shield on his body at the same time, and at the moment when the seventh and eighth shells broke the protective shield of the two captains, they finally converged to form a huge battle array protective shield, which withstood the attack of the remaining dozen or so shells.

"That's a quick response! But it's not enough! Keep firing until I give the order to stop!" Captain Hader, who was in the distance, saw that the Qin army had blocked the first round of artillery bombardment, and immediately launched a more fierce attack.

The Republican Army's new howitzer can reach a rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute, and the artillerymen are extremely well trained, and can complete shell loading and aiming correction in a very short time. After the first round of shells fired, the artillery detachment immediately adjusted the muzzle, and one shell after another burst out of the chamber and continuously smashed into the Qin army's formation.

The soldiers of the Qin Army only felt one boulder after another fall from the sky, piercing a huge amount of impact energy into the huge protective shield, forming wave-shaped energy ripples. In just a dozen seconds, more than 100 shells fell on the protective cover, and the attack of so many shells in such a short time and in such a small area was no less than the full force of any infant realm cultivator! Many soldiers of the Qin army immediately could not support it, their mouths spat blood, and their bodies were shaken, and some of them whose cultivation was weaker or who had been injured before even fell directly from the air.

"Hold me up!"

"Don't attack Changshan City first, the attack just now came from that mountain, kill me and wipe out the enemy army on that mountain!" Although the Luo Hu Qin general led by Luo Hu was injured and fell, he still immediately discovered the location of the artillery detachment of the Flying Leopard Corps, and under his command, hundreds of lightly armed infantry immediately flew out of the Qin army's formation, stepped on the flying magic plate, and killed towards the distant mountain.

Schroeder did not divide his troops to block the Qin army that flew out, but smiled coldly, as if he had expected it. Sure enough, when these more than 500 Qin soldiers had just flown to the foot of the mountain of the artillery detachment, thousands of attacks of various kinds suddenly shot out from the dense forest under a nearby hillside hundreds of meters away, which caught this group of Qin soldiers by surprise!

The army ambushed here was none other than Guan Feng, the deputy head of the Flying Leopard Legion, an outstanding disciple from the southern clan of the Blue Star Country, who had just broken through to the Dan Realm to cultivate. As soon as the Qin army entered the range of the Second Corps led by him, it immediately launched an attack.

The soldiers of the Second Corps gathered all their mana at the beginning, just like mortals, without a trace of mana fluctuations on their bodies, unless they were monks above the infant realm, the spiritual sense of ordinary Qin Army soldiers could not be discovered. When the Qin army approached, more than 1,000 soldiers of the Second Corps opened fire together, and heavy machine guns, mortars, rocket artillery, grenades and other weapons bombarded the Qin army fiercely!

This Qin army was only a lightly armed force, and it did not form a battle formation when it charged, but only released a personal protective spirit shield, and its defensive power was not very strong, let alone that it would suddenly be attacked so fiercely. Under the bombardment of the Second Corps, the powerful firepower instantly covered this poor Qin army team, and the exploding fire and smoke rose into the sky, rolling up countless wrecks and fragments on the ground, and in a moment, the Qin army team of more than 500 people suddenly suffered heavy casualties!

"Kill!" Guan Feng shouted, jumped up first, took the lead in jumping up, and rushed towards this Qin army with the sharp blade in his hand, and the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Second Corps behind him also followed, killing him like a tiger pounced. The Qin army, which had not yet reacted to the bombardment just now, trembled in place like a flock of lambs waiting to be slaughtered in front of the Second Corps.

This was the first time that the republican army had a face-to-face battle with the Qin army, and in front of the republican soldiers with superior numbers and high morale, this Qin army, which had little combat effectiveness, was suddenly eaten alive and annihilated in less than a minute!

"Bastard, where did the ambush soldiers come from?!Resist me and kill me!" The leader of the Luo Hu Qin generals saw that the lightly armed troops just sent were all wiped out, and they were immediately furious, the Qin army, which had always been invincible, had suffered such a big defeat, and immediately led the whole army to kill the army of the Blue Star Kingdom at the foot of the city.

"Chi Duwei! We can't fight anymore! We're about to lose it!"

"Yes! The enemy's attack is too fierce! Let's retreat!"

The two Qin army captains on the side ignored his orders and immediately objected. It turned out that at this time, the protective shield on the head of the Qin army was crumbling under the fierce bombardment of the artillery of the Blue Star Country, as if it was going to be broken in the next moment, once the protective shield was lost, the Qin army would inevitably be directly attacked by the artillery, and the casualties would be even more heavy.

Seeing this, General Luo Hu Qin knew that the general trend had gone, so he suddenly pinched a mouthful of bloody phlegm, and had to say: "Retreat! We will settle this account another day!"

The Qin troops immediately turned around, with a huge protective shield on their heads, and retreated with difficulty in the explosion of the shells that kept falling.

But the Flying Leopard Legion did not let it go so easily, Schroeder saw the Qin army retreating, his face was murderous, and he immediately jumped up from the military formation, raised his long sword, and shouted: "The Flying Leopard Legion listens to the order! The Qin army has been defeated, everyone kill them and kill them all!"

"Kill!" the three thousand Flying Leopard Legion soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky, and even the earth trembled at this moment!
