Chapter 169: Ambush

"A day earlier, our troops had marched here and had been met by enemy fire on a low slope.

The enemy was stubborn, but with our absolute strength, in the end, the enemy retreated, but due to our unfamiliarity with the terrain, we did not pursue it deeply.

So some scouts were sent to investigate, and the scouts said that they needed to pass through an ice field ahead, and the enemy had retreated behind the ice field.

In addition, the scouts captured some of the wounded who had straggled, and we tortured them, but they would rather die than give in, and so far, we have not received any useful information.

That's all for us these days, Lord Sea Tiger. ”

Inside the camp that belongs to the Promised Land.

Brother An was reporting to a middle-aged man the situation of the battle these days.

"Would you rather die than give in?" The sea tiger frowned.

"Yes." "The tenacity of these people is terrifying, as if death is not the end for them, but a homecoming.

Although we repelled them, our side also suffered heavy losses, and if the opponent's strength was equal to ours, the chances of our victory were slim. ”

"After all, once they are defeated, their wives and children will die, and it is understandable that they will be strong-willed." The sea tiger bowed his head.

But to his consternation, Brother An vetoed this.

"No, that's different."

Brother An's eyes showed a little fear.

"Even for the sake of their wives and children, there are always some people who feel the fear of death at the last moment, but none of the people I have met have ever had fear, not so much as a warrior and more like.... Dead man. ”

"Dead?" The sea tiger frowned, "Is it brainwashing magic over there in the tundra?" ”

"I think so." "When the Sparrowhawks came here to negotiate with me, they told me about the afterlife. ”

"Afterlife?"

"The world after death, in their description, seems to be very beautiful." Brother An said.

"Huh." Haihu's face showed a little disdain, "It's really ridiculous, the Sparrowhawk Lord at the beginning has now begun to use this kind of trick to coax others."

Sure enough, there was a reason why he was expelled from Promised Land by the Pope.

The same is true of Tianhai, who is extremely stupid.

Brother An, let me tell you, there is never an afterlife in this world, people only have one life, and if they die, they are dead, and there is nothing left. ”

He looked deeply into the distance, at the setting sun that was gradually setting towards the west.

"And now, we are fighting for this only life.

Since they see death as their home, let them see how tenacious our will to live is.

Half an hour after the army was ready, we passed through the ice field by night tonight, and immediately headed for our final destination.

Revenge for Lord Hein! ”

"Walking from the icefield?" Brother An couldn't help but say, "There is no cover for several kilometers there, what if you are ambushed by the enemy?" The scouts are looking for the rest of the way, should they wait? ”

"We can wait, but the tens of millions of people behind us can't wait, they are hungry and cold, and they desperately need food and warmth." Sea Tiger Road.

"The other side has already been routed once, it is difficult to organize an ambush in a short time, and now that the night is thick, now is the best time for us to march through there quickly!

What's more, what kind of attacks do you think they can organize? ”

Haihu said disdainfully, "The waste that has long been discarded in the frozen soil, the average magic power possessed by each person is not even one-tenth of that of the person with the least magic power in the Paradise Land, and it is difficult to form a dense fireball net."

Even if there is an ambush, we can crush it with absolute strength!

We'll have to get through it before they regroup! ”

Hearing this, Brother An also nodded, "Yes!" I'll arrange it. ”

Then he ran out of the tent and began to mobilize a part of his army for an urgent march, and they prepared quickly, and in about fifteen minutes they packed up their supplies and entered the ice field.

On the other side, behind a hillside at the end of the ice field, a group of tundras dressed in white yak skins were rapidly assembling the barrels of the guns they had brought from the dungeon's arsenal.

The scouts had explored the area in the air not long ago through a magical flight, but the yak hides they wore were natural snow-capped suits.

They didn't find out at all.

Soon, arrays of mortars were formed in rows and rows.

Qianjun, one of the first three earthlings to enter the frozen ground, was lying on the hillside with Sparrowhawk in yak skin, looking into the distance with the fifth element to enhance their eyesight, they were silent, quietly waiting for the enemy to step into the trap designed by their sight...

The commander of this battle is Qianjun, and Sparrowhawk is the auxiliary commander.

In the past few hundred years, because of the existence of the Pope and the old plan, there have been few wars, and most of them have been small-scale counterinsurgency.

And even hundreds of years ago, when the old plan did not exist, in the land of the Promised Land, the so-called war was at most only at the level of village-level weapons fighting for Shenzhou.

How can it be compared to the war experienced by the upper and lower states of Shangshen for 5,000 years.

For Qianjun, a national defense student who has undergone systematic tactical and strategic education, it is not difficult for him to command this war, even on paper.

Qianjun is a heroic spirit, because of the background set by Xia Lian for them, they are very respected by the tundra people, so Qianjun is the commander of this battle, and these people are also very recognized.

He breathed calmly and waited quietly for the enemy to appear, and soon, a group of heavily dressed troops appeared in their sight.

Sparrowhawk's face showed some joy and looked at Qianjun.

And Qianjun raised his finger to his mouth, signaling him to be quiet, Sparrowhawk did not speak, looking at the army in the distance, his eyes were a little complicated.

Their previous rout was clearly a trick to lure the enemy deeper, and they sent some immortal Heroic Spirits to create a scene of heavy casualties.

However, because there were too few Heroic Souls to create the feeling of the main force, some frozen warriors were also mixed in, and the battle was fierce, so it also led to some casualties.

It is the people that Tianhai brought into the afterlife.

The enemy stood in a column, marching in great discipline, approaching gradually, ten kilometres, eight kilometres, and even five kilometres.

Sparrowhawk couldn't help but look at Qianjun.

"Don't be in a hurry." Qianjun muttered in a low voice, "We haven't tried this mortar, try to be conservative." ”

The sparrowhawk bowed its head, and after a few more minutes, as the enemy got closer and closer, the pressure on them increased, three kilometers, two kilometers ...

Suddenly, Qianjun clenched his fists and shouted at those behind him.

"Shoot the Yuan! Azimuth 27, Shooting 65!"

Qianjun trained the men in tactical maneuvers for a short time, and they quickly began to listen to Qianjun's words and set the mortar angles, while the other group picked up the shells and entered the preparations.

"Ready!

- Put!"

Accompanied by a thousand jun orders.

All those who were holding the shells put the shells into the barrels of the mortars, at that instant.

"Poof~"

With a crisp sound, dozens of shells glided through the air in a graceful arc until they flew towards the army.

The Paradise Officer at the head of the group, Sea Eagle, seemed to notice something, and raised his head a little nervously, and saw several oval-shaped metal iron bullets flying towards them.

Looking at the cannonball flying towards them, his mood eased a little after confirming that it wasn't a fireball.

He smiled disdainfully, then looked back at the army behind him and smiled.

"Be careful, the other side is starting to throw stones, don't be smashed."

The moment his words fell, the mortar shells also fell straight into the crowd, but maybe it was a problem of workmanship, or maybe it was a ploy of Qianjun.

This first was apparently a dud and did not explode.

Looking at the iron bullet that fell into the ice, the crowd erupted in laughter like never before, as if they were laughing at the innocence and weakness of the other party, and such things also wanted to hurt them.

But in the next second, another iron bullet followed.

"Boom!

! ”

The scorching flames and impact blasted through the crowd with a piercing roar, and the soldiers didn't even have time to use magic to defend themselves, and were directly swept away by the impact, falling to the ground covered in blood.

There was silence in the crowd, but then dozens of mortars came in the sky.

Sea Eagle's complexion began to change instantly, and he roared angrily at the people around him, "Disperse, disperse!" Build cover with magic! Fast! ”

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ”

Dozens of mortars landed at the moment when his words fell, and these people didn't have time to dodge at all, and were directly hit by mortar shelling.

The power of these shells is not strong, only a little stronger than grenades, but they stand densely, and the reaction is also slow, Qianjun and others took a lead, this wave of mortar barrage bombardment, directly caused them to lose more than a dozen people.

And it was precisely this wave that these Paradise people spread out in all directions, and directly used ice cubes to build an ice wall several meters high in front of them, and they hid behind the ice wall.

In their past battles, most of their fireball techniques were like guns, straight or diagonal impacts, so most of the cover they built was used to defend against straight and diagonal attacks coming from the front.

Habitual thinking hurt them, but what they didn't think clearly was that mortars were attacking from the sky.

Hiding in the trenches, in the craters, behind the walls, behind the bunkers, behind the mountains, behind the buildings, lying down, prostrate, it is useless. As long as the top of your head is open, it can hit you.

Mortars were deployed behind bunkers, and the people of Paradise couldn't tell where the shells were coming from.

They rely on Qianjun's instructions and can beat their opponents. And the enemy does not see them.

The mortar looks inconspicuous at the small cannon, in fact its data is scary.

From World War II to the present, 890 percent of casualties on the ground battlefield have been caused by artillery, and three-quarters of them have been caused by mortars.

"Boom!"

As the bomb exploded and the man behind the ice wall was hit, Seahawk reacted and continued to command.

"Overhead! Crown! ”

They created an ice shield that enveloped them.

But what they don't know is that this is also in Qianjun's hands....
