Episode 21 Before the Great War
When Linda and Schroeder arrived at the foot of Changshan City, the Qin army had already launched a frantic attack. All kinds of long-range spells and magic weapons continued to fly out of the military formation, smashing fiercely on the protective cover of Changshan City, making a deafening loud noise. The powerful spell energy explosion wave caused a violent chaos in the low air currents around Changshan City. Huge dark clouds sometimes condensed in the sky, sometimes torrential rain, sometimes cloudless, under the powerful attack power of the Qin army, Changshan City was like a stone that was constantly being beaten by a hammer, and it would be smashed to pieces at any time.
Fortunately, Yan and Zhao were well aware of the importance of Changshan City, and had already laid the most powerful defensive array of the two countries in this city, so although the firepower of the Qin army was fierce, it did not cause enough damage to the large array. To really break through this formation, I'm afraid it won't be easy. However, the defense of the large array relied on the energy of the spirit stones stored in the city, and once its energy was consumed, the defense of the large array would no longer exist, and that was the most dangerous time for Changshan City.
Qin Jun naturally knew this. From the outset, they were prepared to fight a protracted battle. While the forward attacking forces were attacking, the rear forces were already encamping in the vicinity. The camp of more than 100,000 people of the Qin army was set up more than 30 kilometers away from Changshan City, stretching for more than 10 kilometers long, and the spell barriers surrounded the camps one by one, emitting a faint spiritual light, which was quite spectacular.
Sure enough, after the Qin army bombarded Changshan City for more than half an hour, it finally stopped attacking, and the large army Mingjin withdrew to the camp, leaving only a few flying teams to wander around Changshan City, and only retreated after showing off their might.
The Qin army is approaching the city, and the Yan and Zhao armies will naturally not be captured. As soon as Zhao Mian and Luo Cheng returned to the city, they immediately organized the defenders in the city and made various preparations for battle. As soon as the Qin army withdrew, the defenders immediately began to repair the large array, laying new layers of defense on the city walls and inside the city, constantly strengthening the defense line, and moving out a long-range weapon, ready for defense and counterattack.
And two or three kilometers behind Changshan City, the base of the Blue Star Republican Army also began to get busy. The Flying Leopard Legion had already laid several lines of defense outside the base, and various heavy weapons had also been activated to deal with any attack by the Qin army at any time. On the improvised runway in the base, planes were constantly landing, and it was the Flying Tiger Legion troops that had been reinforced from China.
Although the republican army base is behind Changshan City, such a big target naturally cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Qin army, and more than a dozen powerful spiritual senses sweep back and forth over the base from time to time, trying to understand all the situations in the base clearly. However, the monk's spiritual sense could only detect things with spiritual power, and although the Qin army found the monk soldiers of the republican army, they did not notice the large number of weapons and equipment and guns and ammunition of the republican army.
"These bastards' psionic senses are always sweeping around repeatedly, so why don't you activate the defensive array to keep them out?" Schroeder and Linda grumbled dissatisfiedly as they sat in the base control room. This was one of the few places in the base where the defensive magic circle was installed, and it was also a place where the Qin army's spiritual sense could not scan, but Linda ordered his magic circle to be closed, allowing the Qin army's spiritual sense to sweep in without any obstruction.
"Hehe, don't worry, I just want Qin Jun to know that we are here. Wouldn't it be nice if we would give them a hard lesson with heavy weapons and take them off guard when they couldn't help but come to the door?" said Linda confidently.
"Well, I also know that this plan is good, but the Qin army is very cunning, they won't be so aggressive before attacking, especially after I defeated them once before, I'm afraid they won't be so easy to be fooled, right?" Schroeder said with a little unease.
Lin Da shook his head and said his thoughts: "I think the next target of the Qin army's attack is us. We are now nominally allied with Yan and Zhao, but in fact we are still fighting separately. Changshan City is a large city carefully built by Yan and Zhao, and it is impossible for the Qin army to take it easily, so it will naturally target us as the primary target. If we can beat the Qin army in one go, make them think that we are the hardest to bite and dare not provoke us, then we can buy more time to prepare. ”
Schroeder listened and was silent for a while, and then said: "So that's the case, are you deliberately showing weakness?" I hope that Qin Jun can be jealous of us as you said. ”
Linda smiled and said, "Then let's see how we fight this battle." Here's how my combat deployment is, you see..."
The two of them lowered their heads and pointed to the map near Changshan Castle on the table, and they discussed it for a while, and kept giving orders one after another. Soon, the entire Houshan base suddenly became busy, tanks and armored vehicles drove out of the base, artillery pieces were quietly planted in the dense forest near the base, and the regiments under the Flying Leopard Legion were even more broken into pieces and scattered to all corners around the base. The planes at the airport took off in twos and threes, constantly patrolling the nearby area, and the entire base entered a tense atmosphere of preparation for war.
At the same time, in the camp of the Qin army, more than a dozen generals of the Qin army army sat in a group, and slowly exuded a strong spiritual pressure from the generals, extending to the distance, and after a while, the generals withdrew their spiritual sense.
"It seems that the army of the Blue Star Kingdom and the army of Yan Zhao are not monolithic, they did not even enter the city to hide, but set up camp outside the city, and they did not even release the defensive array! Is this underestimating the enemy or being incompetent? If we fight them, what will they use to defend them? We can completely take various methods to destroy them now!"
"Well, that's right! I found out that there is only one Infant Realm Monk in Lan Xinguo's army, and there are no more than 5 Dan Realm Monks, is this Lan Xinguo's strength? It's really too weak, right?! I think we only need to send two legions to completely wipe them out!"
"Don't underestimate them too much, more than ten days ago, General Wang's Third Corps was wiped out in their hands, and it is said that the Blue Star Country army that was put into battle at that time was only a few thousand, and used some strange and powerful weapons, which can't help but arouse our vigilance. ”
"Hmph! That's because we're too careless, aren't we?! How could an army composed of a mere group of low-level monks be able to defeat one of our legions alone? The people of the Blue Star Kingdom must have used some special means to win the battle, right?! As long as our army rushes up, we will definitely be able to wipe them all out!"
"Yes, since Changshan City is difficult to conquer for a while, we will destroy the army of the Blue Star Kingdom first, and form an encirclement of Changshan City, which can even deter the two armies of Yan and Zhao and deal a severe blow to their self-confidence!"
...
The Qin generals talked about it word by word, full of contempt for the Blue Star Country army. This is not surprising, after all, since the Qin army launched its foreign invasion, both the Wei army and the Yan and Zhao armies have been defeated by them in a way that blows up and decays, although the Blue Star Kingdom has only fought with them once, but it is also because they took advantage of the sneak attack, which does not mean anything. What's more, with the national strength of the Blue Star Country, it really can't attract the attention of the Qin army.
Finally, Marshal Wu at the main table finally spoke: "Okay! Then let's take the army of the Blue Star Country first! Yu Miao, you send the flying team to launch an air attack first, An He, you lead your second army to attack from the ground, and the others are ready to fight, in case the Yan and Zhao armies come out of the city to support. But I don't think they have the guts. Alright, let's go! I hope to see the head of that infant realm monk in the Blue Star Kingdom before sunrise tomorrow!"
"Yes!" The six Qin troops surrendered, and the two generals Yu Miao and An He, who were ordered to carry out the main attack, immediately returned to their respective armies to gather troops. Soon, a ground force of 30,000 men left the barracks in a single step and headed in the direction where the Blue Star Nation army was located. In the air, a flying team of three hundred troll crows took off from the camp one after another, swooping down on the Blue Star Country base in the distance.
