80. The Flames of War (5)
It's not that the Temple of Light is poor, but the Temple of Light really can't make too many magic cannons, so, although Rayles has concentrated all the magic cannons of the eight legions, the total number is only 12,000, which is already an astonishing number, but they never dreamed that the Dark Temple would have concentrated more than 60,000 self-propelled magic cannons, and this number is too different。
The biggest feature of self-propelled guns is that they can be mobile and flexible, and they can fire while running, these self-propelled cannons are not purchased from the Yanhuang clan, but the knockoffs made by the black-clothed Shura, although the power is far less than the heavenly demon self-propelled cannons produced by the Yanhuang clan, but, compared to the magic cannons of the Guangming Army, which can only be fixed, I don't know how much better it is. To use a simple analogy, the magic cannon of the dark army has become a battleship, while the cannon of the bright army is still the cannon on the turret, and the two sides are no longer on the same level.
The knockoffs that the black-clothed Shura has made can't fire while walking like the Heavenly Demon self-propelled cannon, they can only stop, and then go after a cannon, and they must stop if they want to fire, although this is a little slower, but, in this era, each cannon takes a minute, and it is enough for these self-propelled guns to drive into the fortress's artillery fire and then withdraw from the cannon, so to speak, it is equivalent to the dark army fighting the light army, and the light army does not have much power to fight back.
The artillery battle began, 60,000 self-propelled guns were divided into six columns, each column was 10,000 self-propelled guns, the first column was the first division, and the first division began to enter the range of the magic cannons on the city wall, but they didn't stop, they just kept maneuvering, and they didn't open fire, they were inducing the Bright Army to open fire, of course, the Bright Army was not stupid to open the cannon now, with the extremely depressing hit rate of the magic cannon, if you want to hit the high-mobility self-propelled cannon, it is not much higher than the chance of a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
The self-propelled guns of the first division began to stop, began to put down the gun mount, ready to fire, these self-propelled guns are just copycats, it takes twelve seconds from putting down the gun mount to firing the gun, and then it takes eighteen seconds to put away the gun mount and maneuver again, that is to say, it takes thirty seconds to fix it before it can fire a cannon, although this number is very depressing, but it is already very good, at least it will not be fixed at that time as a target.
The Bright Army fired, however, most of the shells fell in the air, no way, the hit rate was too low, and a few of the cannons hit the target, but it was blocked by the self-propelled cannon's own defensive magic array, and it didn't suffer any damage, and the self-propelled guns of the Dark Army also began to fire back, and then put away the gun mount and retreated, reloading the cannonballs.
The self-propelled guns of the 1st Division have just been fired, the troops of the 2nd Division have already come up, open the gun mount, fire, put away the gun mount, fire, and then retreat, and then the 3rd Division, and so on.
The magic cannon of the Bright Army is one shot per minute, calculated according to time, basically the Bright Army fires one cannon, and the Dark Army can have three divisions of troops rushing up to fire the cannons, that is, the Bright Army fires 12,000 cannons per round and the Dark Army fires 30,000 cannons. This is not counting, take the first division as an example, from the first division to the first division to rush up and launch, it takes two minutes, within these two minutes, the magic cannon is basically cooled down, which means that the dark army's self-propelled guns can basically be fired non-stop, and the magicians on the self-propelled guns can also have a chance to rest, and do not need to use magic power on the self-propelled guns at all times, so that the dark army can continue to fight for a long time, if the cannonballs are enough, the dark army's self-propelled artillery troops can fight for three days and three nights。 On the other hand, the Bright Army keeps firing cannons, but I am afraid that the magic cannon will stop and cool down in half a day, and the magicians who protect the magic cannon will also be tired half to death, after all, the self-propelled artillery carriage of the Dark Army has a defensive magic array, and the magic power consumption of the magician is not large, and the magic power consumed by the magician of the Bright Army is much higher than that of the opponent.
The artillery battle is continuing, there is nothing to say about this, the two sides are you to shoot one shot, I to fight three guns, the level of artillery on both sides is about the same, the hit rate is terrible low, anyway, everyone has shells, just keep consuming, you can stop fighting when you run out.
There are not many siege shells that are wasted, and if you can't hit the opponent's magic cannon, you can also consume the magic power stored in the defensive magic array on the opponent's city wall, but if the magic cannonball on the defending side doesn't hit, it's wasted, in terms of cost performance, the magic cannon used to siege the city is far better than the defense of the city, and the bright army also wants to attack the city, but it's not their turn.
The artillery battle lasted until the afternoon, and the magic cannon of the Bright Army had to stop and cool down, and the non-stop firing of the cannon had already made the barrels of those magic cannons red, even if it was a magic cannonball with a water attribute, the huge energy was enough to make the cannon barrel turn red, and if it didn't cool down, the magic cannon would explode.
The magic cannon of the Light Army stopped, and the troops of the six divisions of the Dark Army came together, and when they opened the gun carriage under the city wall, there was a burst of wild bombardment, and this time was when there were more cannons.
A one-time salvo of 60,000 magic cannons, the probability of hitting the opponent's magic cannon is not high, but the chance of hitting the city wall is much greater, the hit rate is as high as more than ninety percent, more than 50,000 shells hit the city wall, even if there is a strong magic array protection on the city wall, it is impossible to support it, the huge magic defense cover has begun to shake, and if there are a few more cannons, the magic array will collapse, at this time, it is necessary to replace the new magic core, or the magic power injected by the magician, the speed of replacing the magic core is too slow, and it cannot be replaced all in five minutes, it can only be injected by the magician。 All the magicians of the Light Army have been mobilized and take turns to inject magic power into the magic array, hoping to block the attack of the dark army, and they must persist until the magic cannon cooldown is completed, as long as the magic cannon of the light army can attack normally, the dark army cannot concentrate on the fire salvo, so that the magic array can hold on.
It takes half an hour to cool down, that is to say, the dark army can shoot a full thirty rounds of volleys, these thirty minutes really make all the magicians of the light army cry bitterly, they desperately inject magic into the magic array one by one, until there is no magic power in the whole body, and then after changing to other magicians, they run to the side to desperately drink all kinds of recovery potions, and strive to recover their magic power as soon as possible.
After thirty rounds, the tens of millions of magicians of the Bright Army are as tired as dead dogs, and the magic power of the whole body has been emptied, these thirty rounds are really not easy to bear, these thirty minutes are as simple as hell, but finally endured, the magic power to defend the huge magic array of the forty-kilometer-long city wall is really amazing, and the magic power of these magicians is not evacuated.
The magic cannon of the Bright Army resumed firing, however, the self-propelled cannon of the Dark Army did not move, but fixed at that time to bombard the Bright Army, so that the loss of the Dark Army's magic cannon was greater, but what if the loss was larger? Just after half an hour of bombardment, the magic array on the city wall had been bombarded and collapsed, that is to say, the magic cannon unit of the Bright Army no longer had the protection of the defensive magic array, and now, the two sides have stood on the same running line, no, it should be the dark army that has the advantage.
Rayris's face was very heavy, without the protection of the defensive magic array, the city wall would be undefended, no matter how strong the city wall was, how many cannons could it resist? Is it 100,000 cannons or 500,000 cannons? Even if it can withstand 10 million cannons, it is useless, doesn't the dark army have so many cannonballs? Impossible, it is certain that the dark army has a lot more cannonballs than the light army, so when the city wall is blasted down, can this demon extermination fortress still be able to hold it? When the Demon Slayer Fortress is breached, it means that the entire eastern defense line has been broken through, and the defense line has been breached, so what about the consequences?
There is only one way to solve this crisis, which is to prevent the dark army from firing cannons, and wait for the magicians to repair the magic array, but this will take at least a day, that is to say, what the light army has to do now is to take the initiative to send out, entangle the dark army, and don't let the dark army continue to fire and attack, which is to ask the light army to go out of the fortress and have a big battle with the dark army, the other party has so many magic cannons, out of the city to fight with it, you can imagine the casualties, however, there is no other way to go now.
Rayles ordered the troops to begin to assemble with a gloomy face, preparing to open the city for a decisive battle with the enemy, and the Blood Knight Legion of the Dark Army also began to increase its troops, adding another 10 million troops, and other legions also began to mobilize, and a large number of various war machines such as giant crossbows and so on were also arranged, it seems that the other party is not stupid, Zhilu Dao Light Army only has this one way to go, in this way, the offensive and defensive sides have reversed, and now it is the turn of the Light Army to attack the position of the Dark Army, and in doing so, the casualties are definitely very large。
Seeing the tens of thousands of giant crossbows of the dark army, as well as a large number of various war machines, such as rushing cars, Ryris turned around and went down the city wall, and under the city wall, 10 million elites of the Fourth Swordsman Legion had been gathered, they were all infantry, although their cultivation was not weak, but the speed of the infantry was too slow, and the price to pay if they wanted to rush to the enemy's position was too great, but no matter how big it was, they had to rush out of the city.
Ryris said in a deep voice: "Soldiers, you are all old subordinates who have followed me for many years, I believe in you, but today I am going to take you to death, we have no way to retreat, this battle, we will die if we don't win, there is no other way to go, now, if you don't want to go, you can go back, I don't force you, the brave warriors will stay, and go with me to kill those dark sinners." "Follow the Legion Commander to the death and slay the sinners of darkness. "Countless soldiers shouted loudly, they are all believers in the God of Light, and the battlefield has been on a lot of battles, death, what an idle thing, just die.
Ryris nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good, worthy of being my soldier, okay, follow me to kill." Open the gates of the city, and we rush out of the city to kill the sinners of darkness. Kill. "Kill. ”
The five gates were opened, and 10 million elites of the Fourth Swordsman Legion poured out with swords in hand, killing the self-propelled artillery units of the Dark Army.
