Episode 18 The battle between the Lijun Corps and the Weihu Corps
Hearing the commander's order, the Weihu Corps of the Vietnamese Army let out a howl like a wolf, and rushed towards the Lijun Corps a few miles away like a hungry tiger pounced!
At the forefront were five magic chariots of the Vietnamese army, the appearance of this chariot was similar to that of ordinary mortal chariots, but the body was wider, there was a huge crash in front of the front of the car, and there was a spirit beast in heavy armor at each of the four corners of the body.

During the battle, the spirit beast war horse can perform the levitation spell to charge, and the body can automatically activate the levitation spell, so that the speed of the charge can reach an astonishing twenty or thirty meters per second. In addition to a commander and a soldier responsible for driving the chariot, there are about 10 soldiers armed with bows and crossbows and other combat weapons, which can fire spell bows and arrows, or cast various attack spells.
Many Xiuzhen powers in the Terran Continent are equipped with this kind of magic chariot, and some super powers even have tens of thousands of vehicles, which is a veritable "great power of ten thousand times", and the chariots of the Xiuzhen army of some countries even use war elephants, war lions, monitor lizards and other spirit beasts as war horses, which are very powerful.
On either side of the Vietnamese chariot were more than 300 heavily armored shield-fighting infantry, also known as hoplites. Like the mortal army, the Xiuzhen army also has a variety of classifications for soldiers, and the shield soldier is one of the main troops. The main task of the shield strikers in the Xiuzhen army is to use the battle armor magic weapon and the body protection spirit shield as protection, kill in front of the opponent's formation, tear apart the opponent's defense line, and act as a shield for the subsequent attack of the troops. Although the more than 300 shield attackers of the Vietnamese army were infantry, each of them stepped on a fire wheel magic weapon, and while moving quickly, they released thick flames, and the momentum was amazing, and the speed was not much fuller than that of the chariot.
Behind the chariots and shield fighters was the main force of the Vietnamese Army's Tiger Corps, a team composed of more than 1,000 technical soldiers. As the main type of troops in the Xiuzhen army, the technical killer is mainly equipped with shield magic weapons and individual combat weapons, because the equipment is different from the shield soldier, it is also called a light soldier. They usually practice a variety of combat skills and spells, except that they can't fly, they can be said to be all-round troops in battle. Although these more than 1,000 skilled killers did not have fire wheel magic weapons, they all cast auxiliary spells such as light body techniques and leaping techniques, jumping forward like locusts, closely following the pace of chariots and shield fighters.
In the sky above the Weihu Corps, there are more than 100 Xiang Fighters who step on the flying magic plate, which is also a kind of main combat weapon in the Xiuzhen army, and they are actually killers equipped with flying magic weapons. As the air supremacy of the corps, they were at the forefront of the charge, roaring and pounced on the target like eagles preying.
According to the battle plan of the Vietnamese army commander Jia Ling, after the Weihu Corps launched an attack, the heavy chariots at the front would easily tear open the aura shield in front of the Lijun Corps, open a big hole in the direction of the impact like a nail, and insert it deeper and deeper. Then the shield strikers behind him smashed into the Li army formation from these torn holes, digging the holes wider and wider, tearing apart the opponent's formation. Finally, the technical killers will enter the enemy's formation, cast various spells and combat skills, form a small battle team, and fight with the enemy until the enemy army is defeated. At the same time, the flying team in the air will also constantly attack the enemy forces below and assist the ground troops to annihilate the enemy.
In many previous battles, the Weihu Corps used this tactic, and it is unknown how many enemy troops were defeated in the battle between the two armies. Although the tactics of group operations are similar, the soldiers of the Weihu Corps under his command are all strong men who have been screened out in countless battles, and they are all extremely brave on the battlefield.
Therefore, the commander of the armor watched with great confidence as his corps launched a charge. In his opinion, as long as the Weihu Legion rushes through in one breath, it can disperse the enemy army within a few minutes, and then it is to chase and kill the remnants of the army and capture the spoils, and the whole battle process is only half an hour at most.
What's more, the Lijun Corps on the opposite side didn't look like they had received any formal training, and they actually placed dozens of various long pipes behind the shield formation in the front row, those things neither had the spiritual power fluctuations of magic weapons, nor were they like the trebuchets of mortal armies, so they didn't know what they were for.
"What a stupid thing! a flock of lambs to the slaughter!" he thought to himself with contempt, disdainful of the strange weapons laid out by the Lijun Legion. Thinking of the various trophies that could be captured soon and the exploits he had made after the battle, Jia Ling's heart was full of joy.
In the sky above the Lijun Levy Corps, Linda stepped on the flying magic wheel, circling back and forth on his own position, while shouting for his subordinates.
"Don't panic! Cheer up! Pick up your guns, set up your cannons! Aim at the enemy! Trust your weapons!"
Linda was not moved by the imposing Tiger Corps in the distance, his face was awe-inspiring, and while commanding the troops, he also clenched the weapon in his hand. But Linda didn't prepare to use weapons such as the Intention Sword, but grabbed a single grenade. Although the Yi Neng Sword is very flexible, its attack power is only more than 20 meters, and the range of the howitzer is nearly 100 meters, and the advantages and disadvantages are very obvious.
Lin Da knew that the battle that was about to break out was the first confrontation between human firearms and Xiuzhen warweapon spells on the Terran continent and even on this planet, and it was also the first collision between two different civilizations. In this case, he trusts the weapon in his hand more.
"Anti-aircraft shooters and interdiction teams aim at the flying teams! Artillery set up fire coverage areas! Heavy machine gunners prepare to strafe! Crossbowmen in the back row are ready!" Schroeder, who was familiar with commanding battles, issued several orders in one breath, and soldiers of all arms of the army were prepared for battle in a coordinated and orderly manner under his overall planning.
"The enemy is two kilometers away! Enter the preset coverage of the artillery!" Schroeder shouted at Linda as he stared at the rapidly resolving enemy forces in the distance.
"Artillery fire!" Linda ordered without hesitation.
As soon as he heard his order, the artillery unit immediately began firing. The Lijun Levy Corps is equipped with 16 100mm howitzers, 30 90mm mortars, and more than 20 rocket launchers. In an instant, dozens of artillery pieces fired in a volley, aiming at different targets in the distance, and they fell overwhelmingly at a speed that was difficult for ordinary monks to catch with the naked eye.
Unlike the artillery of the Earth Army, the shooters who operate these artillery pieces are all agile cultivators. They use psionic sense as a means of aiming, endurance and agility to load artillery, and they manipulate the accuracy and rate of fire of artillery firing far better than that of Earth soldiers, as dexterous and accurate as computers. In less than ten seconds, the Lijun Levy Corps fired more than 300 shells at the Weihu Corps in one go!
"Bang!"
I saw that the first howitzer shell accurately hit a magic weapon chariot rushing to the front, and the powerful cannonball tore through the thick protective shield in front of the chariot, and the huge impact and explosive force knocked the chariot to the ground. Immediately after, several more shells hit the tumbling chariot, sending out a huge explosion, and the seemingly sturdy chariot shield only lasted less than a second before collapsing instantly!
The shrapnel of the high-speed flying cannonballs directly hit the chariot without the protection of the protective shield, easily tearing apart the flesh of the soldiers and spirit beasts on the chariot, and blowing everything to pieces! In just a few seconds, more than 30 shells all hit the five chariots that rushed to the front, blowing them up to smoke!
At the same time that the shells hit the front combat vehicles, nearly 200 shells fell into the charging Weihu Corps, and dozens of shells fell on the place where the Vietnamese army commander and others were standing in the distance. At such a close explosion distance, whether it was a shield striker or a technical killer, the protective shields and battle armor on their bodies hardly played any protective role, and they could not resist the powerful explosive force of the shells at all. Within more than 10 seconds, artillery shells exploded in all corners of the Weihu Corps, and the Vietnamese soldiers were so dizzy from the bombardment that they could not figure out who attacked them where, and the entire Vietnamese army was completely disrupted.
The Vietnamese army never expected that they had not yet entered the effective attack distance of ordinary cultivation weapons, and they received such a major blow from the other party, and they were a little stunned for a while. But after all, they were battle-hardened soldiers, and under the command of the officers in the formation, they ignored the constant explosions around them and the bombed companions as if they were nothing, and continued to rush towards the Lijun Corps at a fast speed!
"What's going on?! How did the explosion just happen?!" Commander Jialeng, who was commanding the battle in the rear, shouted in shock and anger after struggling to get up from the ground without bothering to check the injuries on his body.
It turned out that when Schroeder was directing the artillery units to fire, he specially arranged for several mortars to attack the position of the Vietnamese commander, and even dropped dozens of shells at them in one go, and as many as eight or nine shells were fired directly at the commander of Jia Ling. However, as a martial cultivator at the pinnacle of the realm, Jia Ling's spiritual sense was naturally much more agile than others, and the moment the cannonball fell, he and Elder Jing beside him immediately released the protective shield, and cast a teleportation spell to leave the place in one breath, which barely dodged the attack of the explosion. But even so, he was hit by a piece of shrapnel, covered in blood, but fortunately missed the vital point.
And Elder Jing, who reacted more slowly, was not so lucky, after he was directly hit by a shot of shrapnel, he was ejected several meters away, and his life and death were unknown. And the more than ten guards who stayed with these two people were even more unlucky, the cannonballs accurately landed on their sides, blowing up these ten cultivators who did not release their protective shields to pieces!
"It's those pipes! Something from those pipes caused the explosion! Xiang Strike Soldiers! Attack those pipes immediately!" Jia Ling used his spiritual sense to sweep the position of the Lijun Corps, and immediately discovered the cause of the explosion, and immediately ordered the air to fly towards the artillery position.
More than 100 Xiang Fighters immediately drove the flying magic plate and roared towards the Lijun Corps, and soon approached a distance of hundreds of meters, and got closer and closer.
Schroeder had been waiting for them to arrive for a long time, and as soon as he saw these flying teams approaching, he immediately ordered the anti-aircraft machine guns in the formation to start firing, and more than twenty anti-aircraft machine guns opened fire at the same time, spraying terrifying chains of fire and shooting at the obvious targets in the air!
Under the control of the agile monk, the anti-aircraft machine gun shot at the target in the air like an eye, and the Vietnamese soldiers in the air were caught off guard, and before they could release their protective shields, more than a dozen people who rushed to the front were hit by bullets and fell from the air.
The monks behind were shocked when they saw this, they had never seen a low-ranking monk attack them from a distance of two hundred meters. Some of the clever pilots hurriedly flew to a higher position and dodged the machine-gun fire, but there were still quite a few Xiangfeng fighters who rushed headlong into the sky above the Lijun Corps and entered the range of anti-aircraft machine guns. A small number of Xiang Raiders risked their lives to fly over the artillery positions and launched attacks on the artillery and Lijun soldiers below, they shot attack spells in the air, or threw attack talismans, but these attacks were blocked by the spiritual shield formation formed by the soldiers who were responsible for defense below. Despite this, the pilots in the air still destroyed four or five artillery pieces and killed and wounded more than 20 Lijun soldiers after paying the price of dozens of casualties.
However, this is also the limit of what the Vietnamese Xiang Strike Fighters can do, once they enter the attack distance of more than 100 people, they also enter the range of other firearms on the ground except for anti-aircraft machine guns, and the soldiers of Li County have swept towards the targets in the air with rifles and submachine guns in their hands, beating these flying soldiers into chaos and preventing them from further attacks.
At this moment, the Vietnamese soldiers who were charging frantically on the ground also rushed to a distance of more than 200 meters from the Lijun soldiers, which was the effective distance of the submachine guns and rifles to kill and injure the monks. The Lijun soldiers in the front row formed a three-row human wall, holding up their heavy machine guns, rifles, and submachine guns, and firing wildly at the oncoming Weihu Legion! )
