Chapter Ninety-Seven: Armored Assault
"Launch!"
When entering the seven hundred meters, in the trenches of the elven army, the fruit of a plant was thrown into the sky in large quantities, this plant is the size of a watermelon, the blue striped skin makes this plant look very much like a watermelon, after the fruit falls to the ground, the melon skin cracks under the action of gravity, and the red melon pulp and black melon seed-sized seeds inside, accompanied by a burst of light blue freezing air covering an area of five or six meters, hit the human soldiers.
The frozen air brought by the fruit first quickly made the armor on the human soldiers freeze and become brittle, slowing down the nearby human soldiers, and the red melon pulp and seeds that exploded shot onto the armor at an extremely high speed, shattering the iron armor that became as brittle as glass, injuring the human soldiers within five or six square meters around, this fruit is also produced in the endless forest, and the elves gave this name to this kind of frost burst melon.
The elves collected millions of Frost Burst Melons, and the semi-automatic catapult powered by magic crystals threw thousands of Frost Burst Melons at the human soldiers, causing a freezing storm that killed and injured many human soldiers.
In addition, there is another plant fruit that is launched together with the frost melon, the size and thickness of an ordinary person's arm, and the golden seeds are inlaid on the white fruit pulp, forming a cylindrical shape, the top is pointed and round, and the bottom is flat and there are dense small holes, the torches of the elves are placed under this fruit and burned for a while, after the heat is encountered, a large amount of gas is produced inside the fruit, and the expanding gas is sprayed out from the dense holes below, driving the whole fruit to fly out like a rocket, and the gas in the fruit will rush to the seeds embedded in the fruit in addition to the small holes on the way to fly, the seeds can be ejected at extremely high speeds under the action of gases. Dense seeds are like dense bullets, which can be smashed into depressions when hit on the armor of human soldiers. The fruit rotates automatically when it flies, and the seeds are usually ejected downwards under the combined effects of gravity and gas. So Ouyang Yu, who was watching the battle from the rear, saw that these seeds were like biological missiles, dragging white trails and spraying seeds all the way in a straight line, and the human soldiers who hit were miserable, and the name of this fruit was called Corn Missile.
Finally entering the range of five hundred meters, the elves' own spar guns began to exert their power, the spar guns made by the elves looked very much like crossbow arrows, with firing rails, bows but no bowstrings, and the elven soldiers holding these weapons held the trigger with their right hands. The left hand is placed under the rail, there is a movable grip here, only the grasp handle is pushed back, and a bowstring composed of magic power and a magic arrow will appear on the bow arm above, and the bowstring will also be loaded backwards together with the grip, and the magic arrow will also be fixed, and then the grasp handle will be pushed back to its original position after the loading is completed, and the entire launch preparation will be completed, as long as the trigger is pulled, it can be fired. After firing, repeat the above actions to launch again.
The entire process is exactly the same as that of the shotgun on Earth, with a fast rate of fire, reaching a high rate of 100 rounds per minute without requiring accuracy in the test, using standard-sized magicians as a source of energy. A magic crystal can be fired thirty times, has good armor-piercing performance, and can penetrate a thirty-five mm thick iron plate. High precision, which can also be provided by the shooter himself. Powered to shoot more powerful magical arrows, the elves have given this weapon the Cloud Piercing Bow.
This time, the elves urgently made 3,000 such weapons and put them on the battlefield for testing. If the results are good, mass production will begin.
Each of the three thousand magic arrows shot by the Cloud Piercing Demon Bow can shoot through the armor of the shield car, killing the human soldiers behind it, and many of the shield cars are shot with thousands of holes, and all the human soldiers inside are killed and stay on the battlefield.
However, three thousand Cloud Piercing Demon Bows were only an insignificant number in a million-level battle, and the heroic human soldiers stepped on the blood of their comrades and continued to advance, and soon advanced to a hundred and fifty meters.
"Ready, put!"
Entering one hundred and fifty meters is the range of bow and arrow strikes that the elves are best at, and the 800,000 elves are busy throwing watermelons and corn and using magic bows, all of them raised the elves' unique longbows and shot a rain of black and oppressive arrows.
"Poof!poof!poof......" The sound of long arrows shooting into the body continued, and the attacking human soldiers fell in large numbers.
"Don't be afraid, we can enter the elven position right away, and use the long sword in our hands to avenge the dead comrades!" The ten-commander, centurion and other grass-roots officers in the army constantly cheered and cheered the soldiers to eliminate their fear.
After the elven army's layers of blows, the first wave of human troops with large losses were loyal to the thorn belt and "mine belt" that approached the elven army's defense line less than fifty meters, and one by one the bombs buried in the ground were trampled on, and a large number of spikes shot out from the ground, because they were shot from the bottom to the top, a large number of thin and long spikes stabbed the place where the human soldier's armor could not protect, and between the legs, there were thousands of human soldiers who suddenly fell to the ground screaming and screaming in the embarrassing place.
"Rush me, rush up!"
The two comrades-in-arms of a small soldier were shot into hedgehogs by more than a dozen spikes because they stepped on the bomb fruit, and rolled on the ground in pain, unlike the two comrades-in-arms, he couldn't help but shiver, and wanted to turn around and run away when he was seen by the sharp-eyed ten-captain, who kicked his ass and grabbed his collar and shouted: "Coward, rush up for me and cut off the heads of the elves on the opposite side with the long sword in your hand!"
Under the heroic charge of the human soldiers, the "minefield" was quickly breached, and there was only a thorn belt between the human soldiers and the elven soldiers.
"Bell!"
A human soldier slashed heavily with a long sword on the branch of the thorn of the iron wire, but he thought he could get the knife down, but he found that the branch of the thorn of the iron wire was not strong at all, and it was extremely hard, and the long sword could only cut a shallow mark, and even the bark could not be broken.
Some soldiers tried to climb over these iron thorns, but they were caught by the spikes and barbs on the branches of the iron thorns, and their clothes could not break free, and some of the barbs also pierced into the flesh, leaving the soldiers hanging on them covered in blood. In the end, he was shot alive by random arrows.
The first wave of human attack came to a halt on this seemingly inconspicuous belt of thorns, and those in front couldn't think of retreating. The people behind don't know how to rush forward, and you push me into a mess. The elves can easily reap the lives of human soldiers by hiding in the trenches and shooting arrows outward.
The human side is not without suppression attacks, the archers who follow the advance continue to throw long arrows towards the position of the elven army, but unfortunately the elves hide in the trenches, as long as they bend down and bow their heads close to the edge of the trenches to dodge all the arrows that come from them, and the human bow and arrow suppression has no effect at all.
"Alas, order the soldiers to retreat. "Prince Terry didn't want to lose face in front of Ouyang Yu, so he thought of a way to let his army attack first, but now not only did he lose face, but he also lost his inside, and then let the soldiers attack just to die. In desperation, he had no choice but to give the order to retreat.
The attack of the human army ended hastily, looking at the human soldiers who fled in panic, the elves' position resounded with earth-shattering cheers, and after the statistics, in just one hour, the western coalition army under the jurisdiction of Prince Terry lost nearly 50,000 people, more than 70,000 people were injured, and the casualty rate of the first wave of 600,000 troops was one-fifth, and the damage of the elf army was almost none, such a big loss made Prince Terry and the generals of the coalition feel very headache. I am also frightened by the defense of the elves, if we continue to fight like this every time, I am afraid that the human beings may not be able to break through the defense line after they die.
The battle report was sent to the General Staff of the Coalition Forces, and even Andy (Antti) was taken aback when he saw it, and hurriedly rushed to the front line of the Western Coalition with Cullen and Daniel.
Two days later, when she arrived, Prince Terry and the others bowed their heads in shame and were speechless. Andy patted Prince Terry on the shoulder comfortingly and said, "Take me to see the position of the elven army." β
"Yes, Your Highness, please. β
Accompanied by Terry and the others, Andy (Antti) and Daniel gasped when they saw the elven army's position for the first time. Then the two of them looked at each other, and thought to themselves, "Who came up with this otherworldly magical version of the trench position? Could it be that there is also a traverser among the elves on the opposite side?"
"What the hell is going on?" asked Andy (Antti) to Prince Terry. She was anxious to know why the elves had become the way they were.
"That's right. Prince Terry briefly explained why the elves were in such a situation.
"You mean because the elves were once defeated by Catherine's army in a similar position because of their great loss. So the elves imitated her and made the position what it is now?"
"Yes, Your Highness. β
After listening to Terry's words, Andy (Antti) and Daniel breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and she asked, "My sister, where is Her Highness Catherine now?"
"Today is the day when Her Royal Highness Catherine's army launches a general offensive, and she is at the front command. Terry replied.
Knowing that Terry's head was bleeding from the elves' position, Ouyang Yu still planned to attack? Could it be that there was anything she could do that could not be done? Andy (Anti's) curiosity was aroused, and he immediately led a group of people towards Ouyang Yu's front-line headquarters.
Ouyang Yu's front-line command was set up two kilometers away from the rear of the frontline, which was a half-buried concealed command post, and when Andy (Anti) and Daniel walked in, they suddenly felt that the two of them had traveled through time and space to another world.
The most conspicuous thing in the command post is the extra-large sand table in the middle, which is full of artillery and infantry wargames representing both sides of the enemy, and there is a huge map hanging on the left hand side of the door, which is marked with red and blue lines, and the officers wearing Soviet World War II uniforms are busy walking around, some pick up hand-cranked telephones to contact the troops, and some use wireless telegraphy to confirm the information sent from the front, just like Andy (Anti) and Daniel once saw in movies and television.
"Damn, have we crossed over to the Eastern Front of World War II again?" Andy (Antti) was startled by what he saw.
"Your Highness, what is a crossing, and when will we open up the Eastern Front again?" asked Prince Terry, who was following her, for some unknown reason.
"Nothing, nothing. Terry's question Andy (Antti) didn't dare and didn't know how to answer, she walked quickly to Ouyang Yu, who was discussing something with the staff officers.
β...... That's it, go and deliver the order right away. β
"Yes!"
Ouyang Yu, who waved his hand to signal the staff officers to go away, turned around and said to Andy (Anti), "Welcome, my dear brother, and you and my little brother." β
"Don't call me little brother, or I'll be in a hurry with you!" Daniel called out dissatisfied.
Ouyang Yu didn't care about Daniel's shouting, and touched his head again and teased him before continuing to Andy (Anti): "Why are you here?"
"I rushed over after receiving the battle report from His Highness Terry, just arrived, are you sure you can break through the elves' otherworldly magical version of the trench?"
Ouyang Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "Let me buy a pass first, the time for the general attack is almost up, and you will know when the time comes." β
"I'll see. So Andy (Anti) and the others stayed in Ouyang Yu's headquarters.
In many places ten to fifteen kilometers behind the offensive line, one cannon after another opened the camouflage net, and the gunners opened the shell boxes and stuffed the flashing shells into the barrels, and at the offensive launch of the front line, a large number of company-platoon-level mortars and recoilless guns were also quickly prepared, waiting for Ouyang Yu's order.
"Comrade commander, the time has come. A staff officer walked up to Ouyang Yu's side and whispered.
Ouyang Yu nodded, picked up a phone and said, "I order now, the attack begins." β
With Ouyang Yu's order, the entire front suddenly boiled, including mortars and recoilless guns, from sixty millimeters to two hundred and three millimeters, nearly two thousand artillery pieces and rocket artillery of various types fired cannonballs like rain towards the predetermined target, and the ten-kilometer defense line of the elven army, which was the predetermined breakthrough, was immediately enveloped by an explosion.
"Bang! bang......!" The artillerymen sweated profusely and stuffed large-caliber shells into the chambers.
"Woooooooooo......oo Woowoo...... Woo woo woo ......!"
Hundreds of zero-seven rocket launchers and Katyusha fired tens of thousands of shells in ten seconds, and after one round was fired, the artillery began a new round of reloading.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
As a breakthrough, the elven army's position is now simply a hell, only one meter and five deep trenches, neither anti-artillery holes nor curved layouts, straight through the low and narrow trenches instantly became the graves of the elven soldiers under such intensive shelling, countless elven soldiers turned into a pool of flesh and blood that no one recognized in the shelling, or simply blew up to pieces, every moment you can see a lot of stumps and broken arms thrown high by the shock wave, the men are handsome, the women are pure, and the soldiers of the elves who are obsessed with countless nobles have no pity at this moment, either they are dead or waiting for the impending deathγ
Andy (Antti) and the others were already stupid, Andy (Antti) and Daniel were better to know what was going on, but Cullen and Terry had no idea what was going on, and they all opened their eyes wide to see the elven army position on the opposite side covered in the flames and smoke of the explosion.
The commander of the elven army, the fifth elder Mary Qiuyu, who heard the movement on the opposite side, stood at the door of his tent and looked at the position that was being bombarded at a loss, the continuous earth-shattering explosions She could feel a strong vibration when she stood so far away, she estimated that if she was in it, it would definitely not be better, let alone those ordinary soldiers.
The frontal shelling lasted for half an hour, and Ouyang Yu grabbed the phone and ordered again: "The artillery extends to both sides, order the 1st Tank Division, 1st Armored Division, and 2nd Armored Division to start attacking, and the rest of the divisions also launch a feint and order the Air Force to cover." β
"Boys, it's time for us to get on!" The commander of the 1st Tank Division gave the order with an Adam's apple intercom, got into his T-34-76 command tank, covered it with a hatch, and behind him were six hundred tanks and more than a thousand M3 armored vehicles from three divisions, one hundred self-propelled guns, and fifty thousand infantry accompanying him.
"Comrades, come with me, Ula ......!"
"Ula ......!"
The 300,000 new troops of the Kadesh Kingdom jumped up from all fronts, and under the cover of more than a hundred fighters in the sky, the earth-shattering shouts rushed towards the elven army's position like a gray torrent. (To be continued......)
