Chapter 509: Mud Pill City, First Attack
Since it is an experiment, Su Jing, Tang He, and Mu Yinyan each have a large battalion of 40,000 people, which is 120,000 people, not counting the engineer battalion, only counting the allocated second-level corps, which is the scale of 240,000 people.
Su Jing chose a medium-sized city as a target. It was a militarized town within a five-mile radius, with an army of nearly 600,000 troops stationed in one family.
Originally, there were only more than 100,000 troops here, but the Tower of Babel, which was close to Su Jing, continued to expand outward, and the number of troops in this military town called Mud Pill City increased rapidly.
In addition to the core troops of more than half a million families, there are actually many more recruits, all of whom are recruited temporarily. Judging from the military service system of the Celestial God Empire, these more recruits are actually people who have been trained for a long time, but unlike the family elites, they need more time to adjust their state.
The city wall of this mud pill city has two layers, the first layer is ten zhang high, the second layer is fourteen zhang high, and the middle is connected by a stone bridge.
The intelligence has been analyzed very thoroughly, the military strength here, if it is normal, if the Evil God Empire has so many enemies, Su Jing will at least send the same number of enemies to attack.
It's just that the army here is obviously not as terrible as the one outside the gourd, and this test, although it is not a limit test, will not be too easy.
Su Jing and the three of them only dispatched two large battalions, Tang He and Mu Yinyan each sent two. For Tang He, this is a major move, and he now has only 400,000 people, less than 100,000 from Eastern Qin.
He put the soldiers this time. Among them, 40,000 are pure Eastern Qin teams, and the other 40,000 are the Wonderland troops bought from Su Jing.
The same is true for Mu Yinyan, she is a soldier with enough food and food, bringing more than 700,000 people. The number of people killed in the battle is only more than 10,000, and there is still a full establishment, she has purchased a large number of soldiers before, but she will not regret it, and she can't let those soldiers from Wusheng Island fight on Wusheng Island, so she also bought some soldiers from Wonderland with Su Jing.
The soldiers in Wonderland are good, with Ji Wushuang here, they are all obtained for free, the so-called recruitment. The cost is much lower than that of recruiting from Eastern Qin, not to mention, the bereavement benefits for these soldiers who died in battle are almost not considered, and the rewards after victory are not knighted.
This is equivalent to a low-cost mercenary, and its combat effectiveness is on par with Su Jing's elite.
It's not that the Immortal Realm army is awesome, but these half-plane people have come to the Shenzhou World Realm, and their strength has increased one by one. Except that he can't cultivate into an immortal like the native people of Shenzhou. As a consumable of this level of soldiers, the army of Wonderland. The combat effectiveness is really very impressive.
Their strength is suppressed in the fairyland, and their souls are controlled, so no matter how hard they try, they won't achieve much. This piece is called a congenital condition.
The 240,000 troops are still divided into three places. Su Jing's branch, let the amateur dragon command, and the staff and qi refiners assigned to the amateur dragon were not many, only more than a hundred people. The amateur dragon with five hundred personal soldiers, plus these qi refiners, can be regarded as the Chinese army.
The amateur dragon itself has won the benefits of the Tower of Babel, and it has been double Jindan, and in his hand is the long stick left to him by his master back then, and now he does not wear armor, and directly wears a silver-gray Taoist robe, which looks indescribably powerful.
The soldiers around him were all recruited from Yizhou, and most of them were civilians living outside the Great Wall of Ice and Snow. The physical fitness of these people is quite good, but the level of cultivation is too low, and the biggest advantage is that they are all effective in the heart of death.
Their relatives are all settled in Yizhou, and they have no worries. If you go out to fight this time, if you can go back alive, it is good, but if you die, your family will be taken care of more, and at least the way out for your children will be more than ten times greater than your own.
The amateur dragon set off with an army of 80,000, and Su Jing and other people who observed sat on Su Jing's chariot, pulled by the giant puppet, flying at a high altitude. On the chariot, it can accommodate nearly 100 people. The sand table of this chariot is common to five people, all of them are of the same level, and Su Jing sold the map and made a profit.
Although Tang He and Mu Yinyan were stronger than him, they did not have stargazing skills and could not draw such a sand table map.
Then again, if it weren't for Tang He and Mu Yinyan being the closest allies, this kind of sand table, Su Jing wouldn't have sold it for any amount of money.
Mud Pill City, more than ten miles behind it, is the mountains, there are rivers passing through, outside the city, the water flow is quite turbulent.
Tang He's army chose to attack behind the city, where the area was relatively narrow and suitable for garrisons with more strong troops. The amateur dragon chose to attack on the front, Mu Yinyan's army attacked on the side, and on the side of the river, the three of them mobilized more than a dozen small warships to monitor.
The amateur dragon only rested for one night, and then began to arrange the attack.
He first sent a banner of 500 men to try to approach the front gate of Mud Pill City. Five miles from the city gate, the five hundred men stopped, and an unmanned airship was released, rising higher and higher. If the enemy can shoot down the airship, it will be more troublesome.
The distance of five miles is also a bit far for Su Jing's army. If a ranged weapon wants to play a role, it is good to have it within two miles, and the best attack range is within one mile. If the enemy's attack can reach such a distance, it will be a nightmare for the attacker.
At least Su Jing's goal of experimenting cannot be achieved, and a large army must attack and provide more powerful equipment.
The five hundred people stopped five miles away, and the soldiers in charge of observing Mud Pill City only found out a minute later, and when they reported it, they were slapped a few times.
Within this minute, Su Jing's five hundred people had already erected a row of stone pillars. These stone pillars are three feet tall and very thick, and they are formed by burying them directly in the ground with runes.
After a few days, this kind of stone pillar will slowly soften and turn back into dirt. So this paper charm is also cheap and can be used in large quantities.
After a row of stone pillars was erected, the soldiers began to build temporary fortresses, they were not engineers, and the level of construction was inferior. Fortunately, the main function of the temporary fortress is to place the magic crystal cannon.
At a distance of five miles, the power of the magic crystal cannon is quite huge. The Magic Crystal Cannon with a pedestal installed on the ground can increase the speed of shooting a lot, and the power is also higher than that on the floating battleship, and the consumption is smaller.
Near this temporary fortress, dozens of pedestals were installed to fix the mechanical part of the Earth Dragon Arrow.
Then the Qi Refiners took out a huge wooden shield and inlaid it in front of them. The defensive ability of these wooden shields is a little stronger than those stones. Five hundred people, equipped with five Qi Refiners, arranged all this very slowly.
This is what the amateur dragon ordered, there is no need to be in a hurry, give the other party a time to arrange, the purpose of this time is to test the new weapons and new troops.
Su Jing also arranged the field part before, but the army of Mud Pill City did not come out to engage in the battle, so he had to skip it and directly test the siege problem.
In this test, for the amateur dragon, it is not a big problem. The order he received was to destroy Mud Pill City.
The information that Su Jing gave him was that there were no civilians in Mud Pill City, and he could attack at will. In fact, this is nonsense, anyway, in the realm of evil gods, even if there are civilians, the imperial army will not show mercy.
The whole kingdom of evil gods, every people, is a believer in evil gods. Surrender or destroy, the army of the Empire, there will be no sympathy.
The choice of military town for this test is also because of this reason.
The war itself is iron-blooded, but the Eastern Qin army, if the soldiers are allowed to slaughter civilians, the resistance in their hearts will be greater, and in the long run, it will be a blow to morale.
After Su Jing's army was arranged, the city had a reaction. In Su Jing's opinion, such a test is also problematic. However, the problem can be compensated by calculations.
These five hundred people, under normal circumstances, would take ten minutes to arrange so many means, and the pedestals of those earth dragon arrows would not be able to be arranged at all. In other words, when facing the elite of the Evil God Realm, it is necessary to dispatch the people of the engineer battalion to do this thing, and within three minutes, everything can be done.
On the tower of Mud Pill City, dozens of fires flew in, and Su Jing and the others could see clearly that it was a rocket. The entire feather arrow burned, shooting at Su Jing's soldiers.
Bang bang!
The rocket was shot at those wooden shields and exploded, and Su Jing's soldiers did not need to bow down, as long as they avoided the gaps in the wooden shields, they could dodge the attack.
The rockets exploded, leaving crater after crater in the wooden shield. The two-foot-thick wooden shield was almost blown through.
"It's very powerful!" Su Jing and the others exchanged opinions with each other, feeling that this kind of rocket was quite terrifying, and it could cripple the wooden shield five miles away. This is the fire-based talisman arrow, which is rare in Eastern Qin.
The only thing that made Su Jing and the others happy was that after this wave of attacks, there was no other means to appear.
The fire system rune arrow, the cost is too high, it is not that Dong Qin can't make it, but it can't be used in the army, there is no need for that.
The trebuchets in the city began to attack outward. In the world of Taoism, the trebuchet can be thrown farther, and the power is greater, and the cost is much lower than that of the fire-based talisman arrow, even the small family of Eastern Qin can use it at will.
Stone bullets flew out of the city, getting closer and closer to Su Jing's soldiers. These trebuchets, after six rounds of adjustment, finally had a stone projectile and smashed within the corresponding distance.
The head was not very good, and it fell on the open ground, and none of the five hundred soldiers did a dodge action.
The problem with trebuchets is that the flight speed of stone projectiles is a little slow, and elite soldiers can dodge them with experience, and this thing can only attack miscellaneous soldiers, or hit some fixed targets.
After the stone bullet hit the position, the trebuchet in the city began to quickly make corrections according to the data of this stone bullet.
In less than a minute, the stone bullets flew out of the city like a rain.
After making adjustments so quickly, the quality of the army in this city is really good. Because all trebuchets can adjust the data, it means that under each trebuchet, there is at least one Qi Refiner on the spot. (To be continued......)
