Chapter 212: The Battle of the Ten Thousand Miles Border City, Part I
There is actually only one choice for Tie Qiao's clothes, "Captain, select a team of elites and follow me to explore the Shura Demon Army." ”
He had already been prepared, and after receiving the order without a trace, he soon rushed to the city gate with a group of elite people to wait.
It is not that there are no horses among the Iron Guards, but the aura emitted by the demons and sea demons outside is enough to make ordinary war horses go crazy, and it is far less comfortable than relying on the warriors themselves.
Hand crossbows and arm shields are the standard equipment for everyone, and Tie Qi Qiu Yi took the lead, exerting light skills and heading towards the frontline position of the Shura country.
The speed of Tie Qiyi and his party was very fast, and the short distance of one mile was just a blink of an eye for this elite team of Iron Guards, which had an average of more than eight gates.
On the front line, Man Xiyin, who handed over the command of the Demon Sea, saw someone rushing from the direction of the border city of Wanli, and took out the binoculars and saw the figure of Tie Qi begging for clothes.
After the last battle, if it was one-on-one, Man Xiyin could only temporarily avoid the edge, but there was no need to worry about so much on the military formation. Calculating the distance, Man Xiyin ordered people to use a rain of arrows to stop Tie Qi Qiu Yi from approaching, and at the same time ordered the sharpshooters in the army to prepare to snipe Iron Qi Qiu Yi.
The rain of arrows fell, and the iron guards dispersed under the command of the iron begging for clothes, except for one unlucky egg who was scratched by the arrow, and the distance was still shortening.
Tie Qiqiu could already see the dark muzzles of the Shura Demon Army.
On the position, the engineers were intensively building the breastwork, and because the trees around the border city were regularly cleared by the Iron Guards, the shield carts necessary for protection were forced to be omitted.
The heavy artillery positions of large caliber, capable of bombarding the city walls at a distance of about a mile, were divided into three, facing the three main gates above the city on the border of ten thousand miles.
There are still many field guns in the rear waiting to maneuver forward.
Just when Tie Qi begged for clothes to take these never-before-seen military appearances into his eyes and speculate wildly.
'Bang'
The warrior's intuition was frantically alarming, and Tie Qi didn't want to think about it, so he instantly pulled out the Panlong blade and slashed forward along the route in the underworld.
A huge force was transmitted along the blade to the arm of the Iron Warrior, and out of the corner of his eye, two fragments of light smoke could be seen flying out.
didn't have time to think about it, Tie Qiyi was in front of him again, but the scene reappeared.
A master of hidden weapons? Organ?
was attacked by cold guns twice in a row, but Tie Qiyi looked at the position of the Shura Kingdom not far away, but he didn't dare to step forward again.
If that kind of weapon could be fired continuously just now, Tie Qiyi didn't dare to say that he could return to the border city alive.
Glancing back and forth, Tie Qi begged for clothes, but failed to find out who or what attacked him. Look at the iron guards who came with them, all of them are struggling to support themselves in the continuous rain of arrows.
When did the Shura Kingdom, which advocated hand-to-hand combat, actually use the tactics of the Central Plains and Miaojiang?
I didn't see Ye Qing, and seeing that the demons of the Demon Sea had already split up and flew towards the front of the formation, Tie Qi begged for clothes and whistled, and the iron army and guards all fought and retreated.
It is also a very important aspect to look at the elite degree of an army, not only to see the maintenance of its formation when it is in battle, but also to see how it retreats. The iron army and guards took over the battle in twos and threes, and after the iron horse begged for his clothes to be broken, he slowly retreated towards the border city of Wanli.
"The Iron Army Guard is really an elite division." , Man Evil Yin looked at the retreating Iron Guards and said with emotion.
Looking at the military regulations that had already been issued, Man Yeyin looked at the iron bumps in the position with some suspicion, can this thing really be called the "God of War"?
The construction of heavy artillery positions was completed, and small-caliber field guns and mortars began to advance under the pull of cattle and horses.
According to the records in the militia manual, whether it is heavy artillery, field artillery or mortar, its firing range far exceeds the distance of more than a mile from the border city of 10,000 miles now.
But artillery is a highly professional branch of the army, and in just one year, although Ye Qing has achieved mass production of steel and gunpowder by overtaking in the jade book curve. But the artillery that needs to be trained is not leeks in the field, and the recruits of the feudal era are not citizens who have been educated for many years.
In order not to let go of the cannon, he could only sacrifice part of the artillery performance and pull it to a close distance, so as to cultivate the feel of these newcomers in actual combat.
The Demon Sea stopped moving when it was still some distance away from the Ten Thousand Miles Border City, so that the Ten Thousand Arrows Great Array under the Iron Horse Cloth could only stand at the head of the city and wait.
Immediately, one of the artillery squads that performed best in the training began to conduct test firing and calibration.
The muzzle of the cannon was slowly raised, aiming at the gate tower in the center of the border city.
Above the watchtower, the observer loudly announced the target distance into the copper microphone, "147 zhang!" ”
According to the military regulations in his hand, Man Yeyin ordered blankly, "Test firing one shot." ”
rumble
The heavy artillery roared, and the solid bullet flew over a short distance of less than a mile in an instant, smashing a corner of the eaves on the city gate.
"Test shot hit! The distance is 142 zhang! ”
Quickly made adjustments, and under the reminder of the adjutant on the side, Man Evil Yin came back to his senses and issued an order at the scheduled time, "Fire!" ”
Three heavy artillery positions, dozens of guns fired in unison, and the strong recoil pushed the guns back violently.
Although many cannonballs flew directly through the city wall, I don't know where they hit, but the cannonballs that fell on the border city of thousands of miles bloomed dazzling sparks.
The debris from the explosion of the flowering bomb instantly swept across a large area of the city, and nearly a hundred Iron Guard soldiers with bows and arrays were instantly swept down by the invisible shock wave, dozens of people died on the spot, and those who survived were also lying in a daze.
With his mouth wide open, although Tie Qi Qiu Yi knew that the power of gunpowder was extraordinary, even the Mo family would choose gunpowder as the back hand of the ambush. But the scene in front of him still made Tie Qiyi, who had always boasted of his superior intelligence, lose his ability to think.
He was surrounded by comrades-in-arms who had been with him for many years, but at this moment, this comrade-in-arms, who could no longer distinguish his human form, had turned his upper body into scraps of meat scattered backwards.
Warm blood sprayed iron on his face with flesh foam.
Not far away, the sparks that exploded ignited the corpses on the city walls, and countless elite divisions that could still grit their teeth and fight in the face of swords kept rolling on the ground in the sea of fire, or jumped from the city, hoping to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
With a thunderbolt-like explosion on a sunny day, about ten zhang high, the 10,000-mile border city on the city wall that could run horses shook violently. Together with the sound of the demon sea tearing through the air, Tie Qi begged for clothes to hit a fierce spirit.
The walls can't be defended!
Tie Qiyi glanced around, and was relieved to find that although he was embarrassed by the day, he was not harmed. In the deafening sound of artillery fire, Tie Qiyi pulled the day without a trace and wrapped his voice in true qi and shouted, "Captain, gather people, we need to fight back." We can't let the other side continue to attack like this. ”
