Chapter 245, the power of cannon fodder tactics
"Click, click, click!" The skeleton soldiers walked towards the walls of Fancheng step by step.
The defender of Fancheng, looking at these skeleton soldiers, when they walked into the range of artillery attack, he shouted: "Fire!" ”
"Boom, boom!" 5,000 shells were fired, and countless gaps began to appear in the meticulous phalanx of the Skeleton Legion, which were smashed out by the shells.
But this did not stop the pace of these skeleton soldiers, they had no fear at all, continued to fill the gap, and continued to advance towards Fancheng.
"Boom Boom" As the skeleton soldiers approached, the artillery became denser and more and more untidy, and each shell could bring out dozens or hundreds of skeleton soldiers.
And as they get closer and closer to the city wall, the flintlock pistol also fires intensively, and tens of thousands of bullets are fired at the skeleton legion, but unfortunately the power of the flintlock pistol is much worse than that of the artillery, after all, this is a weapon against people, and it is a little powerless to hit the skeleton, not to hit the bone, the bullet will pass through, so the soldiers have to wait for the skeleton to get close before firing, and the target is basically aimed at the skeleton, because this is the easiest place to hit the skeleton soldier!
Although the flintlock pistol is not powerful, fortunately, the grenade given by Xu Hao is still powerful
As the skeletons began to climb the walls, the soldiers dropped grenades and various bombs off the walls.
The bones of the skeleton soldiers were scattered by grenades and bombs, and the power was not much worse than that of artillery shells.
In this way, the skeleton soldiers of the ghost clan attacked for a day, the means were very crude, there were no tactics, and even the ladder for the siege of the city was not made, that is, the skeleton soldiers approached the city wall step by step, and then kept climbing.
Shattered, if it falls, it will be used as a stepping stone, let the other skeletons step on it and continue to climb, although the scene is intense, but it is very boring, the battle has been fought for a long time, only a few Daqi soldiers were accidentally injured, and none of them died in the hands of the skeleton soldiers.
Although this cannon fodder tactic is simple, it can even be said to be sent to death, but when the number of skeleton soldiers reaches hundreds of millions, it becomes an unsolvable tactic.
The rumbling sound on the city wall resounded for a day, the barrels of the cannons were red, and the cannons could only be helplessly cooled, and the barrels of the guns were also abandoned, Xu Hao was able to make a lot of preparations for this war, but after all, he didn't expect that a war would consume materials, and Fancheng's millions of shells and hundreds of millions of bullets were almost exhausted in just one day of fighting.
Many soldiers have picked up cold weapons again, the bones of the skeleton soldiers have been piled up on the city wall, and every other hour the master of Daqi needs to shake all these dry bones away, otherwise stepping on these skeletons, the skeleton soldiers can directly attack the city wall, such a thing is obviously unacceptable to the defenders of Fancheng, he can only consume the true qi of his elite generals and clean up the dry bones on the city wall.
Such an offensive and defensive battle lasted for three days, during which Xu Hao continued to get shells and bullets from Yuzhang County.
Although Fancheng had 50,000 soldiers, it was exhausted in the face of such a non-stop attack. Now that even the artillery has been scrapped, and the guns have all been damaged, Xu Hao's transportation volume can't keep up with the consumption, and the soldiers can only throw away grenades, relying on the long knives and long swords in their hands to resist the attack of the skeleton soldiers.
Fortunately, these skeleton soldiers really don't have much combat effectiveness, and they haven't died much so far, but the soldiers are exhausted, and if they continue like this, defeat may be their only result. Now the defenders of Fancheng have been divided into 12 teams by 50,000 soldiers, each team of soldiers fights for an hour and rests for 11 hours, but the soldiers are still exhausted, after all, the consumption of such a fierce battle for an hour is not small, not to mention the consumption of such a day like this, as long as people can't bear it!
Xu Hao sighed: "No wonder the ghost clan is invincible in the north, such a consumption is really unbearable for any sect." ”
The soldiers of Fancheng kill millions of skeleton soldiers every day, and the bones are piled up, but the offensive of the skeleton soldiers has not slowed down, you must know that now the ghost clan is the best skeleton soldiers, and the combat effectiveness is not as good as a 10-year-old child, but after the number reaches hundreds of millions, even the most elite soldiers can't withstand their attacks!
Chu Chengjun said worriedly: "If this kind of offensive lasts for hundreds of days, even a month Fan Cheng can't bear it, what other way do you have to take it out quickly!" ”
Xu Hao smiled: "I naturally don't have the ability to defeat the ghost clan, but I can still let the soldiers rest for half a day." ”
After saying that, Xu Hao flew into the sky, took out the gasoline barrel he had prepared in the space bag and cracked it, so that the gasoline inside kept leaking out, and then Xu Hao kept repeating the process, throwing gasoline barrels around Fancheng, all of them were holding half a person high, about 100,000 such gasoline barrels After losing them, the smell of gasoline on the ground was already very unpleasant, and the gasoline even flowed out of the streams, and then Xu Hao dropped a lighter.
"Boom!" In an instant, a 1-kilometer-long wall of fire enveloped the entire outside of Fancheng, and the monstrous flames seemed to be descended from the sky, and all the skeleton soldiers in this range were burned into phosphorus powder, and the skeleton soldiers inside the fire wall were quickly killed by the Daqi soldiers.
The skeleton soldiers outside didn't care about these walls of fire at all, but walked directly into the wall of fire, but the high temperature of more than 3,000 degrees, only these skeletons entered, and before they could get out of the wall of fire, the flames burned them out, Xu Hao still thought that this was not powerful enough, and threw thousands of tons of thermite bombs and thousands of tons of napalm incendiary bombs, the scope of the sea of fire was wider, and the temperature was higher, as long as these flames were glued, they could not be extinguished at all. Even when they moved, they attracted other skeletons, and these skeletons once again became fuel for the fire, and the pungent smell of burning bones was in the air of the battlefield.
Gong Mingyuan saw that the temperature of the flames was so high that continuing to attack could only be sent to death, and could only make the skeleton soldiers stop continuing to attack.
The soldiers on the walls could finally rest for a while. When the soldiers saw that the skeleton soldiers could not pass through the sea of fire, they fell to the ground and slept, only the high-level generals were still full of energy.
Everyone looked at this sea of fire and sighed: "It's even more powerful than the legendary three-flavor real fire!" If we use it early, we won't have to work so hard. ”
The fire burned for a long time before it was extinguished, and the soldiers and generals of Fancheng had this half-day rest, and their morale recovered a lot.
But as the flames went out, the skeletons attacked again.
Xu Hao asked, "Didn't you say that there was an alliance between monks and Great Qi?" Why didn't you see them on the battlefield? ”
Chu Chengjun smiled bitterly: "They all stayed in Xiangyang, so they didn't come to Fancheng, and everyone thought that the 50,000 army could be defended for a year or two, so the support didn't arrive so quickly, but judging from the current battle situation, we really underestimated the power of the skeleton soldiers, and the number of hundreds of millions will indeed cause qualitative changes, and Fancheng's defense is indeed poor." ”
