Chapter 544: Difficult
Su Mu escaped because he went to attack another island, and Su Jing predicted that this time the troops he could withdraw, that is, 60,000 people, and 20,000 people, would be left on the basin island.
Tang He and Mu Yinyan's losses will be greater.
Su Jing directly passed the information here to Su Mu, telling her to be careful and to defend against each other.
Ji Wushuang was seriously injured, in order to kill the skeleton, she paid a lot of money, destroyed a high-grade Taoist weapon, and was seriously injured, and was entrusted from Bon Island by the demon female official.
Under the cover of floating warships, Su Jing's army retreated in an orderly manner, just as Su Jing thought, retreating close to 60,000 people, and there were probably close to 10,000 people, who died in this attack. There were also about 8,000 soldiers, who retreated to the foot of the mountain, unharmed for the time being.
Most of these 8,000 people were wounded, and the soldiers who were lost could not be recovered, along with their equipment.
Su Jing lost about thirty chariots, nearly a thousand eagle beasts, the Five Elements Cannons had already been withdrawn, the Demon Crystal Cannons only had time to move two, and the rest of the long-range weapons such as ballistas were also mostly lost.
Su Jing didn't ask the soldiers to rescue these things, but some soldiers were reluctant to equip them, so they reluctantly brought some out.
The loss of more than 30 combat vehicles, not including troop carriers.
On Tang He and Mu Yinyan's side, the loss of soldiers was slightly more than that of Su Jing, and the loss of equipment was much smaller. Their attack has not yet been fully launched, but more than 10,000 people have been put into the port.
However, Tang He and Mu Yinyan both had the loss of warships, and the attack of the stones was not particularly accurate, and it also covered a large area outside the port. On the whole, the soldiers who everyone put into the island have not all been destroyed. Especially the port part. Those who are quick to react jump into the sea water, and their armor has runes on them, so they can escape in the water.
Even if you don't go far, as long as you get out of the attack range, you can be rescued.
Tang He admired Su Jing at this time, if it weren't for Su Jing's insistence on equipping the soldiers with these things. This time, the loss will be even greater, at least about tripled.
Tang He and Mu Yinyan trained recruits into veterans, and they also knew how difficult it was to do the road. Although there is a good recruitment area on Su Jing's side, the potential for this kind of recruitment is also limited. On the Immortal Realm, because of the advancement of the plane, the Immortal Realm itself is temporarily unable to recruit any soldiers.
Therefore, preserving the vitality of veterans has also become an issue that everyone must take seriously. This time, everyone's losses don't seem to be much. In fact, if three people lose 30,000, these 30,000 veterans can drive about five times as many recruits, so that the combat effectiveness of these recruits can also be raised to the extent that they can fight tough battles.
It takes several years to train veterans and go through more than ten battles. Pure training is not enough, I have never been on the battlefield. Always a recruit.
Tang He's flesh hurts, and he only contacted Su Jing after retreating. This basin island is unusable, and a thick layer of stones has accumulated on the ground, and the temperature is extremely high. In the thinnest spot, the rubble was piled up more than a foot long, enough to bury a cavalryman from head to foot.
Everyone knows that the real volcanic eruption. It is impossible to eject so much material, obviously the three volcanoes are just energy sources, and the formation in the crater is the root cause of releasing so many stones.
This attack is also aimed at nearby islands. The range is also limited. Otherwise, when the gates of hell are breached, this attack will be unleashed.
Su Jing was fortunate that he used the Gate of Hell as the rear and arranged a lot of floating warships against the three islands of Hell.
"Brother, the island in front is not easy to fight, there is no decent harbor, all mountainous, and there are many messy fortifications. Our cavalry and chariots are useless. Su Mu suddenly sent a message to Su Jing.
Su Jing immediately replied: "Don't be in a hurry to fight first, there is a problem here." Basin Island is temporarily unable to provide support, and we will transfer it to you. First, send a part of the dead battalion to slowly uproot the outer fortress. Can't the smallest of the Xuanwu ships dock?"
"Yes, but the small Xuanwu ship can only send more than a thousand people up. ”
"That's enough, don't go deep into the island, go ten miles at most, we'll be there soon. Su Jing immediately contacted Tang He and Mu Yinyan and asked them to transfer the fleet and go to support Su Mu.
Su Mu also had an army of 200,000 Eastern Qin, plus more than 200,000 conscripted troops. In terms of troops, it is not a problem to attack the next small island. It's just that the enemy has a new means of counterattacking, and there is little point in a large-scale landing on the island.
In the center of this island, there is also a temple that communicates the three islands of hell.
When Su Jing and the others arrived quickly, Su Mu had already destroyed more than a hundred airships. The information available is quite limited, except that in the middle of the island, on the top of a low peak, stands a temple.
This island is simply piled up by the mountains, the location of the temple, and when you reach the bottom of the mountain, there is a road facing the three islands of hell. The road is extremely narrow, and even when you descend the mountain, it is still rugged and difficult for ordinary people to pass.
In the chaotic mountains, signs of life can be seen everywhere, all of them are soldiers hidden in the dark bunker.
This is a difficult battle, the number of roads on the entire island is limited, and it is impossible to pass through chariots. As for the cavalry, unless you're all riding a smoky cloud or a rouge, the Hippogriff can't run in such a place.
On the side of the Gate of Hell, Princess Sanssouci had already done it, because of the appearance of the three volcanic arrays, she did not bring all the strength invested by the allies, especially the Golden Jade Floating Slaughter, which could not be followed, such a big target, no matter how crude the formation was, could be calmly targeted.
If it was an ordinary attack, the Golden Jade Floating Slaughter didn't care at all, but this kind of attack was too terrifying to turn an island into a graveyard.
The Golden Jade Floating Massacre was the biggest reliance in the naval battle of Sujing, and now that it is in trouble and cannot be used, it is necessary to reconsider the problem of how to attack.
The five of them quickly regrouped, and Su Jing asked Princess Sanssoucian, "Wussoucian, how many Jindans like Ji Wushuang do you have in hand?"
"One, slightly stronger than Ji Wushuang. "Princess Sanssouci didn't shy away from Tang He and Mu Yinyan at this time, the alliance has reached this level, and everyone is dependent on each other.
Tang He and Mu Yinyan's army combat effectiveness, they also saw it in their eyes.
Tang Daodao: "I can't use my own strength, my sword cultivation is not the most powerful, and there is also a Jindan seven-fold powerhouse, who will only shoot for me three times, and I will leave." ”
Mu Yinyan said: "I also have a subordinate like this, but my jade talisman can still be used." ”
She didn't say anything about the restrictions that drove Jin Dan Sevenfold, obviously Mu Yinyan, the thug, was sent by the Mu family's ancestor Sick Heavenly Monarch, and he would always follow Mu Yinyan. It's just that this level of Qi Refiner can't be driven at any time, and it must be when necessary, otherwise, I'm afraid it will cause a bad effect.
Su Jing nodded and said: "Originally, in the face of the island in front of us, the fastest way to attack is to let the floating battleship and airdrop the army of a thousand people to enter, and spread out at the same time, attacking the fortresses everywhere, we gather the most powerful force to deal with the temple, and attack inside and outside, and we will be able to defeat it soon." ”
This is a very simple and easy-to-understand line of thought, without any strategy, and all rely on strength to oppress.
"However, the enemy has those three volcanoes, and the forces we have invested at the same time are too large, and they will be covered by this attack of the enemy. Too little was invested, and it took too long to uproot the fortresses one by one. So all that's left is to storm the temple. The rest of the army, attacking from the periphery, invested only two hundred men in each fortress. ”
Su Jing said as he said that there was already a map of the island on the sand table. He pointed to the temple in the center of the island and said, "We will concentrate all the most powerful forces at hand to destroy this temple in the shortest possible time. ”
"Ji Wushuang, can you still fight?" Su Mu asked worriedly.
"Yes, it's just that I lack a handy Dao weapon, and I can't challenge an enemy who is too strong. Su Jing said regretfully.
"I lent her one. Princess Sanssouci said: "In addition, I also have an ability that can make the Jindan powerhouse instantly restore his combat effectiveness and repair most of his injuries. As long as this kind of injury is not caused by the laws of Heavenly Dao. ”
"This ability!" Tang He and Mu Yinyan were shocked.
"It's an ability that comes with equipment, and there is a limit to the number of times you can use it per day. Ji Wushuang is like this, and he only has one chance a day. In a state like yours, I can support you twelve times a day. ”
Su Jing was also shocked this time, what kind of equipment is this, is it an immortal weapon?
"It's something that my father refined in the outer realm, and it's very restricted in this world. Princess Sanssouci explained, and as she reached out, a black and silver ring on her finger was inconspicuous.
"Will this equipment cause ......" Su Jing pointed to the top, representing the will of heaven.
"No, it won't. Princess Sanssouci smiled, she was very happy, Su Jing was not obsessed with the anti-heaven attribute of this equipment, just like what his father said, as long as you show that kid, he will definitely ask you if you will be counterattacked.
Su Jing's quality, she only gradually felt it after marriage, and before that, she was only attracted to Su Jing, far from the extent of thorough understanding.
On the contrary, it was Emperor Jiang Yan who saw through Su Jing and was willing to marry his daughter to him.
Most of the time, people in love are blind, while parents stay awake all the time.
"That's good, my current plan is to build a floating battery, we have the strength, on this floating battery, install five five-element cannons, and prepare to deal with the three islands of hell. I hope that the war on this island will end in five days, and destroy the resistance on the island little by little. ”
Everyone listened to Su Jing's arrangement, and they didn't have any suggestions. Everyone knows that the situation in front of them is that everyone has no experience, but Su Jing is very ordinary, obviously, he also has the ability to deal with this situation, and even has this experience.
Of course, Su Jing has experience, and he knows very well how to fight fortifications in the mountains.
The only thing that is more difficult to deal with than the fortress on earth is that the fortress here is well suried, and if you don't attack, it may take three or five years, and the soldiers inside will not starve to death or thirst. (To be continued......)
