50. The Great War begins

The Great Elder said: "Hall Master, let's put it this way, the energy of each cannon of the Super Magic Cannon, this word is passed from the Yanhuang Clan, let's call it energy, the energy of each cannonball is equal to the total energy of all the magic power possessed by a god-level high-level magician, or a little smaller, but, according to speculation, it should be about the same, even if the energy of the two of them is the same, but a god-level high-level magician will definitely not be able to block a cannonball, why what?" The reason for this is that the mage cannot attack all of his magic in a single attack. Let's put it this way, it's good for a magician to be able to use one-twentieth of all his magic power every time he attacks, and generally use about one-thirtieth under normal circumstances, just like me, although I am the strength of the first level of the god level, but the magic power I consume when I attack at one time is only about one percent of my total magic power, so in the face of a terrifying weapon like the super magic cannon, needless to say, those with strength below the super god level cannot resist, and even the swordsman or magician with the strength of the super god level and the high level will be seriously injured, if he is hit by a shot, he is afraid that he will either die or be injured。 ”

Katoji understood a little: "So, these magic cannons are basically invincible in the world?" That's not what I said, hall master, no weapon can cover the world, although the super magic cannon is strong, however, it also has weaknesses, one is that it can't fire too many shells at a time, if more than sixty rounds are fired in a battle, the recovery speed of the magic core will become relatively slow, if you use ninety rounds, the magic core will not be able to recover in a month or two, so, the best number of uses is to fire no more than thirty rounds at a time. Second, after all, the magic cannon is only a long-range attack weapon, and the error of the landing point is also relatively large, so it needs to be used intensively to be able to exert the maximum power, if it is only one or two, it will not be able to exert its power at all, and even when it is used, the effect is very limited. Third, even if the super magic cannon is made of very special materials, however, there is a certain limit to use, if the number of uses is exceeded, the material of the barrel will also reach the limit, and at that time, the barrel or other parts need to be replaced, otherwise, there will be a danger of exploding. Fourth, the power of these magic cannons is too great, I estimate that if more than 20 rounds are used at a time, I am afraid that the barrel will be forced to deform by the powerful energy, and if it is fired again, there will be a danger of exploding. Therefore, although the super magic cannon is very strong, it depends on how to use it, if it is used well, it is infinitely powerful, and if it is not used well, I am afraid that it will not take long before it will be scrapped. ”

Katoji said a little worriedly: "Great Elder, I think these super magic cannons are Shura's most powerful tricks, is it good or not for him to use them like this now?" "The hall master can rest assured, Shura is a genius soldier, he will definitely exert the power of the super magic cannon to the limit, if I guess correctly, now the troops of the five armies of the Dark Demon Empire no longer dare to advance." ”

The Great Elder did not guess wrong, the five armies of the Dark Demon Empire did not dare to advance any further, and their morale was extremely low, in the past few days, the five armies were attacked by the "Heavenly Demon Self-propelled Cannon", with a total of 1.7 million soldiers, almost losing more than one percent of the troops, and more than one million wounded, this battle has not yet started to break more than two percent of the troops, can this morale not be low?

Although the troops of the five armies of the Dark Demon Empire set up their posts forty kilometers away when they camped at night, in the face of the pervasive attacks of the Heavenly Demon Guards and the Dark Demon Guards, those ordinary sentry posts could not be stopped at all, and they often had to wait until the magic cannon attack reached their heads to know that the big thing was not good, and it was too late at this time, plus the intelligence of the two major provinces, so they couldn't even catch the shadow of the "Heavenly Demon Self-propelled Cannon". So, they basically don't even have the courage to move forward now.

Yes, the speed of the "Heavenly Demon Self-propelled Cannon" and other combat vehicles can reach 300 kilometers per hour, which is still the speed of the ground, if the floating array is used to fly semi-floating in the air, the speed exceeds the speed of sound. In order to be able to attack the enemy out of nowhere, mobility is worthy of being an important factor in the first place, and it is not in vain that Zhang Zeshan invested countless efforts in the manufacture of mobility when designing, and today, I finally saw the effect.

On September 15, 221 year of the New Earth calendar, the strength of the five armies of the Dark Demon Empire finally became a group, and they finally realized that if they were divided into five armies together, they would only be targeted by the black-clothed Shura's Heavenly Demon Guards, and only by concentrating all the forces would the whole army have more than 500,000 air forces, and only by using the mobility of the air force could the most rigorous cordon be laid around the barracks, so as to prevent the attack of the Heavenly Demon self-propelled artillery.

The concentration of troops, of course, is a good thing, but there are also a lot of bad things, first of all, the problem of marching, because there are too many troops, often the front army has already set off for most of the day, and the rear troops have not been able to leave the camp, so that the speed of action is also a lot slower, and they can only advance about 100 kilometers a day, so that it will take a certain amount of time to reach the two major provinces, and secondly, the materials required have also increased greatly, and the pressure on logistics has suddenly risen to the point that it is unacceptable to all logistics personnel, and it is necessary to transport all kinds of materials needed by more than 18 million people from one roadThe mere thought of this pressure makes everyone feel like they're going crazy. However, they can only obey, and if they do not obey, there will only be death, fortunately, this is a local war, and a large amount of grain, meat, vegetables and other materials can still be collected by the local people, and fortunately, the grain production of these provinces is very high, otherwise, the consequences will be more serious.

The Dark Moon Province is located in the eastern part of the Black Wing Province, the border between the two provinces is more than 6,000 kilometers long, the Black Water River flows from the Black Wing Province to the Dark Star Province, and flows through the left side of the center, the east is bounded by the Bailing River, a tributary of the Black Water River, and the west is bounded by the Black Ridge Mountain Range. The Black Water River is a very important waterway, there are a large number of ships in and out every day, the Bailing River is also a not small river, the river is up to eight kilometers wide, the average water depth is eighteen meters, and in some places it is dozens of meters deep, there are a large number of towns and villages along the banks of the river, but it is definitely not easy to cross such a big river, even if there are a large number of ships, it is not so easy to cross, therefore, the Black Wing Province does not have many defenders here, but has built a large number of beacons for early warning, and the Duke Lawles of the Dark Moon Province has formed an alliance with the Black Shura, like this, If the Dark Demon Empire wants to cross the Bailing River to attack, it can't hide it from the black-clothed Shura. As for the Black Ridge Mountains in the west, they are not too high, the average altitude is only about four thousand meters, and there was no big road to pass through, but the black-clothed Shura dug up the lower part of the middle of the Black Ridge Mountains in order to build a road, and built a huge road up to one hundred and twenty meters wide, which is a section of the dark road between the two provinces, and built a city on the side of the Black Wing Province- Black Ridge City, which is responsible for managing the affairs of entering and exiting the border from here, of course, the most important thing is to collect taxes, and on the other side, the Dark Moon Province has also built a city, named Dark Ridge City, which has the same function as Black Ridge City. Now, the war has broken out, and the Black-clothed Shura has built the Black Ridge Fortress in front of the Black Ridge, that is, in the middle of the road in the Black Ridge Mountains.

The Black Ridge Fortress is built along the road, the front city wall is located at the exit of the Black Ridge Mountain Range in the south of the dark road, the front city wall is eight kilometers long, in front of the city wall is an open field, a plain, the whole shape is like a flare mouth terrain, the front is wide and the back is narrow, in this way, it forms the terrain of the Black Ridge Fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, after all, the front is only eight kilometers wide, such a narrow terrain, even if there are tens of millions of troops, how many troops can be invested at one time? The rear is located at the exit of the Black Ridge Mountain Range in the north of the Dark Road, with a distance of one hundred and ten kilometers in the middle, and in this one hundred and ten kilometers, six city walls have been built, these walls are all super city walls up to 500 meters thick and 200 meters high, and it can even be said that they are like a mountain, and there are countless fortresses up to 500 meters high on the city walls, which are used for defense, which are much stronger than the fortresses built by the black-clothed Shura in the north. It can be said that this fortress is equivalent to having six lines of defense, and one is higher than the other, and the defense power of this fortress is naturally extremely amazing. At the same time, a large number of small fortress-style bastions were built on the hills on both sides to defend the enemy from attacking from the hills on both sides of the Black Ridge Fortress.

Countless caves were dug along the mountain walls on both sides of the fortress for various purposes, including warehouses for supplies, camps for soldiers to rest, and other functions, including entertainment facilities, etc., the functions were very perfect, and these caves did not know how deep the tunnels were dug, and at the same time, the caves were also reinforced with various magic arrays, even if they were bombarded with large forbidden spells, they might not be able to collapse these caves, after all, there were mountains up to several kilometers thick. As for the interior of the cave, many people are ignorant of it, and only the supreme commander of the fortress has the most detailed drawings, so to speak, the entire cave is a huge labyrinth, and if you go in, you won't be able to find your way out.

It is also unavoidable for the Dark Demon Army to choose to attack with the Dark Moon Province, because the other provinces and the two major provinces are even by land, although the traffic situation is also good, but it is too troublesome for the entire army, especially the problem of logistics supply is too serious, if you want to get sufficient supplies, you must rely on waterways, the Heishui River is their most natural supply channel, with a large number of ships, they can continue to transport supplies from the rear to the front line along the Heishui River, and the army without logistics cannot defeat the opponent, which everyone understands, the larger the army, the more supplies it needs, soFor the convenience of supplies, the Dark Demon Army could only choose to attack from the Dark Moon Province, and they were facing this strong Black Ridge Fortress. And this choice is also the result of the black-clothed Shura and Zhang Zeshan's plan, so that the dark demon army can not divide the troops, and can only storm the strong fortress, such a battle, of course, is much more beneficial to the Shura army, and if the dark demon army cannot enter the territory of the two major provinces, it will naturally not cause any major damage to the two major provinces.
