Fifty-three, bloody battles (8)
The Dark Demon Army began to fire artillery attacks, and more than half of the magic cannons bombarded the city wall, but the two-hundred-meter-thick city wall was not bombarded by these magic cannons at all, and the cannonballs bombarded the city wall only to let some cement scatter, revealing the steel bars inside, which did not hurt the bones at all, and a small half of the cannonballs fell on the city head, but the city wall was also guarded by the magician troops of the Shura Army, and there were few casualties. The enemy army did not use a large force to attack the city, and those infantry, giant archers and other troops did not need to be on the city wall, so that there were only artillery and magicians left on the city wall, and there were not many people, on the front of eight kilometers long and two hundred meters wide, only thirty or forty shells fell, and it really didn't have much lethality, besides, there was also a magic array to protect, so the dark demon army's magic cannon attack did not receive the desired effect.
Of course, the Shura army was not just beaten and did not fight back, they also fired back with artillery, and compared to the sparse formation of the Dark Demon Army, the magic cannon of the Shura army was of course extremely powerful, but the lethality was also very limited, so although the two sides were constantly firing artillery, there were very few people killed by the cannonball. The two sides were fighting lively, and although there were a lot of losses in shells, the results were very slight.
The magic cannon of the Shura army is relatively bulky and inconvenient to move, but it occupies an advantageous position, so to speak, it is good that the ten cannons of the Dark Demon Army can hit the city with three cannons, and one of these three cannons can land near the magic cannon It is very remarkable, and the aiming system of this magic cannon is not ordinarily poor. On the other hand, the accuracy of the Shura army was higher, so after half an hour of artillery fighting, the Shura army lost three magic cannons, while the dark magic cannon had already lost thirteen magic cannons, and the ratio of battle losses between the two sides was basically disproportionate.
The black-clothed Shura was a little unhappy, and Zhang Zeshan smiled and said, "Everything has been arranged for Shura. You don't have to worry. "Big brother, this is the first time that my magic cannon unit has suffered battle damage. "Hehe, you, how did you become stupid, the hit rate of artillery fire is not high, won't you bring up a little more cannons? Look at whether they have more cannons or yours, your cannons are so many that you can use cannonballs to kill them, what are you worried about?" Zhang Zeshan said and winked at the black-clothed Shura.
The black-clothed Shura understood, and said with a smile: "Big brother is right, okay, order the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth artillery brigades to be transferred to Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu will kill them with cannons." "According to the establishment of the Shura Army, an artillery brigade has one hundred and fifty magic cannons, and the black-clothed Shura is six hundred cannons, plus the previous first and second artillery brigades, there are nearly nine hundred and six magic cannons in total, which can definitely kill the artillery of the Dark Demon Army with cannonballs.
In another half an hour, the Shura Army has transferred a total of 900 magic cannons from the six artillery brigades, and this time, the pressure on the magic cannon troops of the Dark Demon Army has immediately increased several times, and those magicians have also begun to be much busier, and after a while, a cannonball fell on their side, and some even fell directly on their heads, and their defensive magic had to be released constantly, and if it went on like this, it would not take two hours for them to be wiped out by the artillery units of the Shura Army. There is less time to rest, and the recovery of the magician's mana is also slower, so naturally it will not last long, in comparison, the magician troops of the Shura Army are much easier, and they basically don't have much chance to make a move.
I'm not afraid of not knowing the goods, I'm most afraid of comparing goods, this sentence is really not bad at all, there is no comparison, the artillery unit of the Dark Demon Army still thinks that their level is already very good, but, now with the artillery unit of the Shura Army Artillery Artillery Cannon to Cannon Fight for an hour, they realized that their level is really far behind, the speed of the cannon is not as good as the Shura Army, who makes the quality of their magic core not as good as others, however, the most important thing is too far from the Shura Army, if it is peacetime, they will admire the opponent, but now is the time of war, all they can do is to keep cursing the opponent, I hope that the opponent's aim is not too accurate.
One magic cannon after another was destroyed, there were Shura army's and the Dark Demon Army's, however, the battle loss ratio of the two sides reached a level of five to one, the Dark Demon Army lost five magic cannons, and the Shura Army lost one, and the losses of both sides were not at the same level at all, and if it continued like this, I was afraid that it would not take three hours for the magic cannon troops of the Dark Demon Army to be exhausted.
The artillery battle has lasted for three hours, and the black-clothed Shura is really ruthless, and he actually transferred the seventh and eighth two artillery brigades up, this time, there are eight artillery brigades concentrated on the city wall, a total of 1,137 magic cannons (63 are damaged), and the number of cannons is more than double that of the Dark Demon Army (until the beginning of the war, the Dark Demon Army has lost more than 300 magic cannons, and now there are only more than 500 magic cannons), the level of the two sides is already very different, and the number of the higher level side is still more than double that of the other party, what else is the beginning of this battle?
As time passed, the magic cannon unit of the Shura army really began to exert more power, concentrating two or three cannons to hit one of the opponents, so that the accuracy was much higher, and the losses of the Dark Demon Army became even greater. One by one, the magic cannons were destroyed by the Shura army, and if this continued, in less than two hours, all these artillerymen would die here.
Sotola sighed lightly, and Hadilak said, "It's already okay to fight like this, the black-clothed Shura has emptied all the magic cannons of the third and fourth lines of defense, and we can act." "Please, commander, give the order. "Sotola has no other opinion, the battle is like this, there is no other way to think of it than to carry out the plan. There are five commanders in the Dark Demon Army, but Hadilak is the commander of the First Army, and of course he is the henchman of the Dark Demon Ninety-seventh, so he is the commander-in-chief of this expedition to the two major provinces.
The hundreds of thousands of air troops of the Dark Demon Army all took off at the command of Hadilak and flew towards the Black Ridge Fortress at high speed. The first wave was 50,000 people, of which 20,000 air forces had magicians on their backs, and the Dark Demon Army only had a total of 50,000 magician troops, 18,000 were used in the artillery unit, 20,000 were used here, and more than 7,000 were killed in battle, that is to say, their magician troops were basically used, leaving only a few magicians to take care of the house. The second wave was 100,000, and these air forces had an elite infantry on their backs, and they were in charge of reinforcements. The third wave was 300,000 people, and their purpose was to expand the landing ground, and they had two soldiers on the back of their monsters. In this round of airborne tactics of the Air Force, the Dark Demon Army can be said to have used all its strength, and the troops used are 1.2 million, and most of them are elite troops selected by thousands of people, plus 20,000 magician troops, the real elite.
Of course, a large number of air forces could not hide from the Shura army, and the black-clothed Shura sighed and said: "Big brother, you are right, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the Black Ridge Fortress has fallen." "It's still too early to say this, they have used all their strength, and we have to set off, otherwise, the consequences may be serious, and the plan will never change quickly." ”
Seeing a large number of air forces flying through the air, the giant crossbows on the ground could only sigh with admiration, and they couldn't reach them, so what could they do? Fortunately, these air forces flew at an altitude of 6,000 meters, much higher than the mountains on both sides, and the anti-aircraft giant crossbows on the mountains on both sides could not reach them, and the magicians on the back of the Tempest Eagle could not attack the Shura army below with magic, so one side could only pass by, while the other side could only watch the other party fly over their heads. It's not that the Shura Army doesn't have an air force, it's just that, in comparison, the Shura Army with only 30,000 air forces is too weak, and there is no way to have an air duel with the other side, so the air force should not appear at all, so as not to be eaten by the other party.
Three kilometers after the first wall of the Black Ridge Fortress is the second city wall, five kilometers after the second city wall is the third city wall, ten kilometers after the third city wall is the fourth city wall, the distance between the other side of the city wall is the same, and the distance between the fourth city wall and the fifth city wall is seventy-four kilometers, a large distance in the middle is very long, and the middle distance is not so wide, only three hundred meters wide, the mountains on both sides have been cut straight by the Shura army, the cliff is as high as more than five hundred meters, people can not climb, and within this distance there are countless caves, used to rest the barracks for all kinds of supplies and soldiersIt's just that these materials and people are hidden in the cave, so they can't be seen from the outside, and I don't know how many people will be here.
This airborne mission was led by Sotola himself, he saw that there was not even a single person between the fourth and fifth city walls, and the magic cannons on the two walls were all transferred to the first city wall, so he naturally knew that the Shura army was not prepared, so he ordered: "All the magicians prepare, prepare the magic immediately, and the other infantry will land after the landing of the Wind Eagle, set up a defensive formation, and wait for the second batch of reinforcements." ”
In the middle of the open space, only two or three thousand Shura troops were patrolling, as soon as they saw so many air forces landing from the sky, of course, they knew that the road was a big deal, one by one they all shouted, and ran into the cave as fast as possible, those magicians began to release magic towards the entrance of those caves, so that the Shura army could not even get out of the cave, so that a landing field was easy to get.
Sotola was still a little skeptical, this was too easy, but, after thinking about it, airborne tactics had never appeared on the Western Continent, and he was afraid that the black-clothed Shura would not have thought of such a move, so he didn't think much about it, and ordered the first batch of troops to land.
50,000 air forces, 30,000 infantry, and 20,000 magicians landed, it only took more than ten minutes, and the 30,000 infantry had already set up a defensive formation, even if the Shura army used a large number of troops to attack, it could support it for a period of time, and besides, there were 20,000 magicians in the middle, so to speak, even if the Shura army used 100,000 troops to attack, it would not be able to break through their defensive formation, besides, it was only 300 meters wide here, how many people could be?
The infantry wanted to attack the caves, but those caves had already lowered the iron gates, so that they had no way to enter at all, and at the same time, the troops at both ends began to develop to both sides, expanding the landing ground, and soon, the second group of airborne troops landed again, this group was as many as 100,000 troops, because the landing field was very large, the troops in front had advanced to a place only 20 kilometers away from the fourth city wall, and the troops in the rear had also advanced to a place 18 kilometers through the five city walls, so to speak, within a range of more than 30 kilometers in the middle, it was possible to land at will, so the landing of 100,000 people was very easy。
