Episode 35 Offensive and Defensive Battle (Part II)

With the sound of a huge horn piercing the sky, the entire heaven and earth were filled with endless murderous aura in an instant, with boundless mana in the murderous aura, as if the breath of bloodthirsty, tyrannical, death and despair was slowly brought out from the gates of hell, and began to announce the unfolding of a killing.

I saw that in the Qin army's array, hundreds of soldiers used the huge horn-like sonic magic weapon in their hands to make a huge roar, and under the spread of this strange magic weapon, the sound of the horn covered the sky of the entire battlefield. When ordinary Qin soldiers heard this voice, they immediately felt that their bodies were full of energy and a tyrannical color eager to kill, while the ordinary soldiers of the Blue Star Army dozens of miles away couldn't help but feel inexplicable fear and uneasiness when they heard this.

This is exactly the sonic tactic used by the Qin army before launching a general attack, before every major attack in the past, the Qin army used this peculiar sonic spell to greatly weaken the enemy's momentum and will at first, and occupied the initiative from the beginning, and was invincible.

The powerful sound of the horn lasted for more than ten minutes, and under the roar of war drums, the Qin army began to charge slowly and quickly. The 40,000 or 50,000 Qin cavalry troops in the front row took the lead, and hundreds of teams with different numbers were the first to launch a straight line charge. This time, the cavalry did not gather recklessly like just now, but spread out, and many cavalry even used the levitation technique to fly at low altitude, although this mana consumption is larger, but it is better in flexibility and speed, and can avoid the fire bombardment of the Blue Star Army.

Closely following the charge of the cavalry troops were hundreds of spirit beast chariots. Pulled by huge spirit beasts, these chariots floated and flew, carrying huge large attack and array weapons and several spell archers. The maximum attack distance of these large magic weapons is 12 or 3 kilometers, and they must be charged within this distance to attack, so as soon as the chariot launches a charge, it moves at full speed, and its speed is comparable to that of the Blue Star Army tank.

After the cavalry and chariots, it was the main force of the Qin army, all of them were composed of heavy and light armor soldiers, a total of more than 300,000 people, forming hundreds of battle formations, floating forward at low altitudes. From a distance, the huge oval halo formed by the battle array was extremely dazzling, like a huge flying saucer, slowly coming towards Hanzhong City.

And the Demon Crow Force also launched an attack again, and the remaining thousands of Demon Crows no longer made any reservations, and after rising rapidly from the Qin army's barracks, they densely covered the sky of the battlefield. All the charging units of the Qin army were deployed, and although the formation was scattered, they were able to effectively evade the bombardment of artillery fire. A powerful shock aura rose from the Qin army, like a fierce hurricane, blowing towards Hanzhong City in the distance, which was shrouded in a huge spiritual light.

Soon, all kinds of attacks descended on Hanzhong City like a thunderstorm from the sky, causing all kinds of earth-shattering explosions. Under the powerful attack of the Qin army, Hanzhong City was like a boat swaying in a storm, and it was extremely dangerous.

In the face of the all-out attack of the Qin army, the Blue Star Army also immediately launched a powerful counterattack. The powerful attack of the Qin army was completely within Sun Bin's expectations, of course he would not think that he would be able to completely defeat the Qin army after repelling the first round of the Qin army's offensive with missiles and giant artillery, and the real battle had just begun at this moment.

The Blue Star Army's counterattack was equally fierce and resolute, and it was even faster than the Qin Army's attack. When the cavalry of the Qin army had just rushed to more than 20 kilometers away from Hanzhong City, the "Death Scythe" that had been loaded in the city launched a new round of fire again, and ten cannonballs either fell in the middle of the cavalry or exploded in the air, killing and injuring a large number of cavalry in an instant.

In addition to the "Death Scythe" cannon, the real weapon of the Blue Star Army's defense is thousands of artillery pieces of various types, which almost concentrates most of the artillery on the Blue Star Western Front, all of which are used to defend Hanzhong City at this time. When the Qin army entered the effective firing range within 20 kilometers, thousands of cannons of the Blue Star Army fired a salvo, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of tons of shells were poured on the Qin army's head.

This was the most intense artillery attack that the Qin army had suffered since its invasion of the Blue Star Country. The spiritual power shield released by ordinary Qin soldiers could not withstand the explosive attack of shells above 100 mm, let alone the terrifying "Death Scythe" shells. All kinds of artillery continuously bombarded the Qin army's troops, blowing up spirit beasts and cavalry to pieces, and the "Death Scythe" blew up the wreckage of countless human bodies and spirit beasts all over the sky, which was unbearable.

In the face of the powerful artillery attack of the Blue Star Army, the Qin Army had the means to counterattack only if it desperately rushed to within more than 10 kilometers of the Blue Star Army. Every cavalryman wished that the spirit beast under his seat could rush to the front of the Blue Star Army in a few flashes, but before many Qin soldiers could release the spell that condensed a body of mana, they were killed by the sudden cannonball. Earth Technology has shown an unparalleled advantage in the battle against Xiuzhen Technology.

After paying a heavy price of 20,000 or 30,000 casualties, the Qin soldiers who rushed to the forefront finally reached within ten kilometers of Hanzhong City and reached the attack range of their weapons. The Qin soldiers, who were too frightened, cast attack spells and drove the weapons to attack as quickly as possible, they were so flustered and nervous that they couldn't wait to send out the spells and magic weapons at a thought, because maybe they would be sent to the western sky by cannonballs in the next moment. Tens of thousands of various spells and magic weapons were generated unorganized and smashed frantically towards Hanzhong City, although the Qin soldiers did not reach full strength because of their hasty attacks, but the tens of thousands of attack energy combined, its power was still very terrifying.

The Qin army's attack was finally able to fall on the protective shield of Hanzhong City, causing the entire city to shake violently, and all kinds of energy waves spread rapidly on the protective shield, looking for any trace of space that could invade the cover, after a round of attacks, although the protective shield of Hanzhong City was safe and sound, the light on the surface was slightly dimmed.

The city's giant protective array used in Hanzhong City, called the "Tianyang Shield Array", was a backup protective array found from King Gui's palace back then. Although the name of the protective shield array is loud, the defense and attack power are average, after all, the previous Gui Kingdom was only a small country of cultivation, and the level of cultivation was not high, and the only ones that could be used were Tianlun Peak and the two protective arrays of the old capital Xiangcheng with the help of natural spiritual veins, and there was not much financial resources and strength to arrange more city defense arrays.

After the establishment of the Blue Star Clan, of course, they also hoped to equip a giant city defense protection array in the capital Hanzhong City, but after searching the entire Gui Kingdom, they could only find this "Tianyang Shield Array" in the palace of King Gui, which could only be barely used for the defense of the capital. The high-level leaders of the Blue Star Clan did not think of equipping Hanzhong City with a more powerful protective shield, but because the foundation of the entire country's cultivation was weak, there were not a few high-level refiners and array mages, and the spirit stones needed to maintain the large array were not enough for various daily consumption in the country, let alone used to arrange the city defense magic circle that consumed a huge amount of spirit stones. In addition, the Blue Star National Empress took the development path of focusing on earth science and technology, supplemented by cultivation, and did not invest much in the huge cost of the city defense array, which caused the lack of defense power of Hanzhong City.

Sun Bin had just woken up from the joy of destroying tens of thousands of Qin troops, and immediately received the signal that the large array was difficult to support, and immediately ordered the troops to protect. The only way to prevent the Qin army from further attacking the city, in addition to relying on the city defense array, was to send troops to form a battle formation and release large defensive spells to intercept the opponent's attack. This practice, like the missile defense system on the earth, uses spells and magic weapons to intercept the opponent's attack.

Immediately, 100,000 Blue Star Army troops formed a 100,000-strong battle formation and deployed in Hanzhong City to face the side of the Qin army. The ten battle arrays were like ten huge and flat circular flying saucers, floating at low altitude on the edge of the city, and a huge spirit gathering magic weapon rose above the head of each battle array, or a knife or sword, or a spear or spear, under the control of the commander of the battle array, the spirit gathering magic weapon was constantly waved in the air, and the attack shot by the Qin army was blocked to the greatest extent and fell on the protective shield.

This kind of defense method is extremely mana-consuming, but it is also a way that the Blue Star Army has no way to do, if the soldiers in the battle formation consume too much mana, when the Qin army battle array comes, the Blue Star Army will undoubtedly fall into the upper hand. Of course, Sun Bin understood this, but what he could do was to rely on long-range firepower such as artillery to kill and injure the Qin army as much as possible before the Qin army reached Hanzhong City. Therefore, he constantly commanded the artillery troops to continue to bombard the Qin army, and the Xiuzhen soldiers controlled the cannon to fire shells at the fastest speed, regardless of the fact that the cannon barrel was overheated and the life span dropped sharply. Because with the charging speed of the Qin army, before it reached Hanzhong City, even if the rate of fire of ordinary cannons fired by the artillery of the Blue Star Army reached more than 10 rounds per minute, it was only enough for them to fire more than 20 rounds.

After several rounds of attack by the forward troops, the Qin army installed a large attack magic weapon and the spirit beast chariot of the magic position and finally killed within the attack distance, and one after another more powerful spells and magic weapons rose into the air, drawing a deadly arc in the air, and then fell fiercely on Hanzhong City. Although most of the attacks were intercepted by the ten battle formations of the Blue Star Army, many of them still fell, giving great oppression and shock to the entire Hanzhong City.

With the frequent attacks of the Qin army, the interception of the Blue Star Army's battle array also decreased more and more. On the one hand, the mana of the soldiers of the Blue Star Army has weakened, and more importantly, the Qin cavalry who rushed to the front has already killed 2 or 3 kilometers away, and will soon have hand-to-hand combat, and the soldiers of the Blue Star Army must leave enough mana to deal with it.

"Second echelon combat troops, prepare!" Sun Bin could already see the shining magic weapons and spirit beast faces of the Qin cavalry with the naked eye, and it was impossible for the first batch of 100,000 Blue Star troops to block the crazy attack of the Qin soldiers. Immediately, there were twenty teams of 1,000 people formed into 20 battle formations and deployed behind the 100,000 battle formations, ready to start a fierce melee battle.

"Soldiers, hold your swords high, don't retreat, don't let those bastards take a step forward! Fight! Behind is Hanzhong City!" The officers of the Blue Star Army shouted to boost their morale, leading the way, fearlessly facing the torrent rolling in front of them.

"Kill!"

Stepping on the corpses that kept falling in front of them, and braving the dense cannonballs, grenade shells and machine gun bullets fired from the opposite side, the first Qin cavalry finally reached the front of Hanzhong City. Relying on the protective shield on his body and the support of the charging array he was in, he forcibly broke through the protective shield of the "Tianyang Shield Great Array", blocked the shield of the large array that was insensitive to physical defense, and then brandished his long sword magic weapon and slashed at the Blue Star Army battle formation in front of him. The battle weapon with the power of the metallic attack and the spiritual power of the Blue Star Army collided violently with the protection of the Blue Star Army's battle array, and then several powerful talismans shot out of the hands of this Qin soldier, turning into several attack spells and smashing towards the battle array. Before he could continue to swing his weapon to attack, a heavy machine gun bullet fired from the large array pierced through its shield and accurately hit his helmet, knocking it off the spirit beast. This unlucky Qin soldier hung up like this.

But more Qin soldiers followed, magic weapons, talismans, and spells continued to smash, and soon the siege chariots of the Qin army also rushed up, charge, charge, charge!

With bursts of flesh and blood, and a sound of courage, anger, and desperate hoarse howls, the Qin soldiers finally broke through the protection of the "Tianyang Shield Great Array" and the Blue Star Army battle array, and simply opened a gap in front of a Blue Star Army battle array. Then, countless Qin soldiers swarmed in through this gap, and they broke the first layer of defense of the Blue Star Army!

After paying the heavy price of 70,000 or 80,000 casualties, hundreds of thousands of Qin soldiers finally killed in front of the Blue Star Army, and frantically attacked the Blue Star Army with their incomparably strong combat power, launching a fierce and brutal melee battle.

Cannons, magic weapons, spells, bullets, grenades, rockets, talismans... All kinds of attack weapons flew all over the sky, explosions and shouts of killing were overwhelming, and the entire Hanzhong City was plunged into a frantic battle. The million Blue Star Army and the more than 600,000 Qin Army, like two giant beasts, one from ancient times and the other with fledgling wings, in order to compete for the right to rule, launched this great battle that decided the fate of Dongyanzhou in front of Hanzhong City.
